The negotiation between Lux and Camille lasted for a long time.
Although the two people quickly reached an agreement on the general direction - Lux left in exchange for all the rights to the Gate of the Sun, and the business investment rights and treatment in the same city were exchanged for the name of Oshela Vazuan, reaching a limited two-way deal.
The city merges.
But as for the specific content of the negotiation terms, the two of them talked about it until midnight before they could roughly form a rough framework.
Then, under the leadership of Lux, the Zaun law enforcement officer crossed the Sungate Strait for the first time and entered the manor belonging to the Gunogar family in the northern area of Piltover City.
The Noxians were quite authentic, and there was no Noxian Iron Fist during the retreat. Almost all the members of the Gunojia family were taken away, and the entire manor was almost completely emptied except for a few servants.
.
Even such an empty large manor still seemed a bit crowded after thousands of Zaun armed law enforcement officers were crammed into it.
The Zaun law enforcement officers who were laying on the floor were crowded with people. Even though they had been confronting the Piltover people outside the parliament building for several hours, they were still too excited to sleep at this time.
Just now, when Lux sent someone to pass the news back to Zaun, she revealed the progress of the negotiations without any scruples.
As a result, these exhausted law enforcement officers were extremely surprised to become the first people to learn that Zaun was about to take back the Sun Gate Sea Gate.
The original fatigue and dissatisfaction of rescuing the Piltovers were swept away!
Being able to take back the Sun Gate like this is a good thing that I never dreamed of!
Lux couldn't sleep even after entering the head of the house's room - but it wasn't because she was excited that she couldn't sleep.
Standing in front of the well-lit floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the manor that was still not completely silent in the night, she suddenly felt a little... reluctant.
When Kalya said that she would use Lux to leave openly in exchange for the Gate of the Sun, Lux was not reluctant to give up, but did not believe that Camille would take the initiative to propose such a condition.
However, when the two parties reached a consensus and the negotiations made a breakthrough, in the dark night, she suddenly felt a different kind of emotion.
For Lux, the three years she spent in Zaun were extremely fulfilling years.
When she was in Demacia, Lux always believed that politics was a troublesome and boring game, a play-in-the-making game between nobles competing for power.
However, when she personally participated in Zaun and watched a city completely turned upside down through the three-year plan, she suddenly gained a lot of understanding.
Objectively speaking, in the past three years, Lux has used political methods a lot, but unlike when she was in Demacia, Zaun's politics does not make Lux feel dirty - in this place
In the newly born city, there are also many disputes and discords, but at least everyone is not fighting over the family name.
It is true that there are many factions within Zaun, including those who work on projects, those who run caravans, those who engage in administration, those who do research... Each of these professions has its own interests.
But at least in the past three years, everyone has a common vision, hoping to build a brand new Zaun on top of the ruins, so that the Zaun people struggling in this city can hold their heads high.
live on.
In this process, Lux is the leader and witness.
Although three years have passed, Lux still doesn't like Zaun's food, but for her, Zaun has quietly become a second hometown.
And now, the countdown to her departure has entered.
Even though the separation has long been destined, even though it is clear that there is no such thing as a feast that never ends, Lux still feels a little tight in her chest.
Lux has always been an emotional little girl, but under Kalya's guidance, she learned to use rational means to solve problems.
Just as she missed home when she first came here, Lux will also be reluctant to leave this place when she is about to say goodbye.
Aware of Lux's emotions, Kalya rarely remained quiet.
And this time, Lux no longer needed Kalya's active comfort - she just stared blankly out the window for ten minutes. She dispelled the loss and confusion in her heart and regained her former vitality.
"Kalya!" She closed the curtains, hugged the sword and rolled herself into the big bed, "Do you think Camille can handle it?"
"What, you're worried she won't represent Piltover?"
"Judging from the past situation, she does not represent it." Lux looked at the ceiling, "Piltover is not Zaun after all."
"Without my Golden Feather, she wouldn't be able to convince the people inside Piltover." Kalya's tone was subtly filled with pride, "But in this situation, if she still can't handle it, then we can directly consider it.
Force was used."
"Ah? Why?"
"That would mean Mrs. Piltover is a fool!"
……………………
Unlike Lux who was relaxed, on the other side, Camille was facing the second wave of challenges.
After convening the council members and announcing the preliminary consensus reached between themselves and Lux, three council members slammed the table on the spot.
"You are using our interests to please those country bumpkins!"
"The Gate of the Sun is the core of Piltover, and it is absolutely impossible to give it away to anyone else!"
"Assemble the law enforcement officers and private guards! Let's take action now—"
It is normal for members to object, but the three people objected so fiercely on the spot, which made several other members present feel a little bad.
However, Camille herself only felt relieved.
The reason is simple. The three councilors who stood up all represent the interests related to Sun Gate and Piltover Port.
In the past three years, through Camille's unremitting efforts, such people have gradually become a minority in Piltover.
As an "industrialist", Camille has always looked down on these guys. They only know how to reap huge profits from Sun Gate's equity. As long as the economy is slightly sluggish, they will immediately clamor to increase Sun Gate's fees.
In the past, the money earned by these guys at least flowed into the market, promoting the prosperity of Piltover's cultural industry and invention industry, but now, Piltover has a new pillar industry, Hex Technology.
It is the one who should invest the most resources. Under such circumstances, they still cannot see the situation clearly and keep yelling...
It's time to clean up such an insect.
However, unlike last time, this time Camille no longer needed to use force personally - facing the three congressmen who were fierce and determined to fight to the end, she nodded calmly, and then said, "Since
If you are so opposed, then you can go talk to Lux about this part of the issue."
Hearing Camille's words, the three congressmen suddenly fell silent as if they had a cock strangled by their necks.
