When Lacus and her people arrived at the parliament building, the Noxian flag hung outside the curtain wall had just been put away.
But even so, Camille has no time to worry about anything anymore - she knows very well that the current situation in Piltover is one of rejecting the wolf through the front door and entering the tiger through the back door. She does not think that the Zaun people's trip is really just for resistance.
aggression.
When it comes to blackmail, most people are self-taught.
Especially after learning that Lux had single-handedly annihilated the main force of Noxus with thousands of people, Camille increased her vigilance to the maximum. Although according to Heimerdinger, it seemed that Lux was
Some kind of summoning-like spell was used, but it was still quite terrifying!
It is precisely because the Zaun people are extremely powerful now that Camille's always tough attitude may cause some unnecessary problems, so she has no time to deal with those people who are seeking death.
At this time, Your Excellency Gray Lady needs some time to prepare a speech for herself that is neither humble nor arrogant.
It's best to get the Zaun people to shut up and not make excessive demands.
Of course, having said that.
The Zaans sent out rescue, so Piltover had to pay a price after all.
The most important thing now is to draw a bottom line for this price.
Open commercial trade, transit import of materials, sharing of some technologies...
Piltover still have a lot of cards to play.
Thinking about this, Camille finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that the Zaun people were so good at fighting was somewhat beyond Camille's expectations.
But being able to fight doesn’t solve all problems!
At the negotiating table, Piltover still has more confidence!
……………………
The light guided Zaun's law enforcement team, and they arrived in front of the Piltover Council Building smoothly.
When they arrived, Camille had been waiting here for a long time.
As Camille stepped forward to greet her, and Lux took the initiative to step forward, the de facto leaders of Piltover and Zaun met for the first time in a formal occasion and in an open and honest manner.
This time, Camille finally had to put on a somewhat polite smile, and took the initiative to extend her arm to shake Lux's hand, expressing her gratitude immediately.
"Piltover is deeply grateful for Zaun's support!"
This is a polite statement, but it is also a qualitative statement - the Zaun people are here to support.
However, what Camille never expected was that Lux reacted extremely quickly, and the answers she gave were also very aggressive.
"There is no need to thank you for what is your duty. After all, Oshla Vazuan is one and the same."
Oshla Vazuan is one and the same?
This sentence itself is not wrong.
After all, historically, Piltover and Zaun were indeed the same city - but with the opening of the Sun Gate, the gap between the rich and the poor in the city expanded rapidly, eventually dividing into today's Piltover and Zaun.
.
When Lux mentioned this matter at this time, she was obviously not talking about history. Camille was just stunned for a moment, and instantly realized the subtext of Lux, and a horrifying idea appeared in her mind.
inside.
"Could it be that Zaun wants to take the opportunity to annex Piltover?"
If someone had told Camille this before, she would have thought the other person was crazy - why did the Zaans conquer Piltover? Why did they maintain the city after conquering Piltover?
run?
Yes, Camille can admit that Zaun has indeed changed a lot in the past three years, but compared to Piltover, Zaun is still a city that has just started, whether it is industry or commerce.
, the two are simply incomparable!
However, Noxus' failed invasion almost shattered all of Piltover's pretense.
Facts have proved that in the face of pure barbarism and violence, Piltover will also feel fear; under the threat of life, Piltover has no shortage of capitulationists!
It cannot be said that the Noxians broke Piltover's bones, it can only be said that the Noxians exposed without reservation that most of Piltover's top brass are weaklings.
At this time, Lux suddenly spoke with meaning, which had to make Camille extremely vigilant.
"So we should maintain this friendly relationship." She was shocked in her heart, but she still maintained her composure on her face, "The Noxians are watching with eager eyes. Only by working together can we resist the Noxian invasion."
There is no doubt that Camille's words contained a hint of warning and reminder - the Noxians are currently the biggest trouble, Zaun, don't think too much about it!
"Noxus has too much time to take care of itself. This kind of warlord leader can never go alone again." Lux chuckled, "Furthermore, without the Cunokja family and the Medarda family as internal agents, the Noxians would not be able to do it again."
Flying over the great barrier.”
Lux's response made Camille feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Is the warlord acting alone in this Noxian offensive? Noxus has too much time to take care of itself now? Where did the Zaans get this information?
Is this true, or is Lux deceiving herself?
Moreover, the second half of the sentence seems to be a criticism of the Cunokja family and the Myrdalda family, but there is also a satire on Piltover's "self-inflicted consequences".
As Lux said, if there is no internal response, the Noxians have only two ways to cause trouble in Pi City: storming the port or climbing over the magnificent barrier, and no matter which way, it is impossible to be as easy as today.
"There are black sheep everywhere." Camille could only reply dryly, "But it didn't cause much damage."
"As long as there is no big loss." Hearing what Camille said, Lux seemed to be relieved, with a look of satisfaction on her face, "In this case, I can safely get back Zuan's
thing."
"Retrieve Zaun's things?" Camille was quite surprised, "Did anything in Zaun fall into Piltover?"
"Of course there are things from Zaun that have been left in Piltover." Lux nodded, "Isn't it the Gate of the Sun?"
Even though she reminded herself many times beforehand to stay calm, after hearing about the Gate of the Sun, Camille still couldn't stay calm anymore.
"This is impossible!" She replied categorically, "All the shares of Sungate and the port are in Piltover. Starting from the original shares, the transactions and transfers of each share are clearly recorded -
—”
"Yes, there are records." Lux nodded after hearing this, and her expression finally became serious, "But the problem is that the people who built Sun Gate did not get the original shares at all."
