Considering that Dodgers might have the Enlightenment Stone in his hand, Lux finally decided to go to the prison to meet him.
The next day, according to the location on the note, Lux and Ino arrived at the prison in Piltover and successfully submitted their application for prison visit.
The prison guards seemed to have approved Jace's application to visit the prison, so after learning that Lux's prison visit target was Jace, and after verifying Lux's identity, they allowed her to enter the prison.
However, because it was a prison, Lux could not carry a sword, so she left Kalya and the broken sword with Ino. She was alone, accompanied by the law enforcement officer, and met Jace.
The conditions in Piltover Prison were much better than Lux expected - or in other words, the conditions in the single cell where Jace was located were a little too good. When the prison guard opened the cell door, Jace was sitting in a small
In front of the table, he sipped the wine in small sips.
"Hello, dear... Miss Lux." Jace stood up excitedly when he saw Lux arriving, "I'm glad you can come here and visit this unfortunate guy like me - wait, where is Miss Ino?
?”
"She is waiting for me outside. The prison does not allow two people to visit the prison at the same time." Jace's attitude made Lux couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Then, Mr. Jace, why did you ask the law enforcement officer to invite me?
How about meeting you in prison?"
"This is a slightly complicated story." Jess blinked and quickly entered a rather excited state, "It's mainly about magic. I heard the law enforcement officers say that it's Miss Ino's
Ice magic protected my laboratory and saved me from being buried alive."
"..."
Lux didn't respond, just nodded, and then continued to look at Jace.
"It's like this. In fact, although the main reason why I appear here is to illegally conduct dangerous experiments, believe me, my experiments are not really dangerous. If the intruders hadn't messed with my experimental materials, they would never have done anything.
Such an explosion may occur." Jace tried hard to defend himself, "And the experiment I conducted is related to magic. To be precise, I hope to use Hex technology to control Hex gems, so as to
To achieve the purpose of freely controlling magic."
"Then what?" Lux blinked, seeming a little confused, "Mr. Jess, this has nothing to do with me or Ino. It seems that you should talk to the law enforcement officer about this kind of thing - or you guys
Talk to the parliament and prove to them that there is nothing wrong with your experiment."
"That's exactly what I want to do." Jess showed a confident smile, "I already have some clues, I believe I will succeed, and the parliament will definitely support my research, and it is precisely because of my
I have strong confidence in this, so I hope to get help from you and Miss Ino."
"...I don't quite understand this." Lux put on a puzzled look, "Mr. Jess, with all due respect, I'm just a traveler from a foreign country, and I don't know much about Piltover's Hextech.
You don’t even understand it—so I really don’t understand how I can help you.”
"Many, many!" Jace opened his hands, as if holding up an invisible huge sphere, "In today's ordinary people's theory, Hex technology and magic are completely different, but I have vaguely understood
I saw the bridge that connects them, but because I don’t understand magic well enough, I can only work unilaterally on Hex Technology this time.”
"It's an interesting metaphor." Lux nodded, seeming to understand what Jace meant, "So, you also need someone to help you build this bridge on the other side of magic?"
"That's right!" Jess retracted his hands and slapped the back of his left hand into the core of his right hand, "That's it. To use the words in the recent popular love novels, this should be called... running in both directions!
"
"Mr. Jace's idea sounds very reasonable." The bad metaphor made Lux couldn't help but frown. She looked helplessly at the beaming Jace in front of her, "But the question is, why now?
You can wait until you convince the parliament, wait until you regain your freedom, and then talk to me."
Lux's keenness made Jace's eloquence get stuck in his throat.
Looking at the calm Lux, he blinked awkwardly and then picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip to hide his embarrassment and helplessness.
"About this issue..." Jess finally sighed helplessly after putting down his wine glass, "Actually, neither the tutors at the college nor my parents are willing to support my research. They think I am whimsical.
"
"So, you want me to say something nice for you when you are being tried by the parliament?" Lux smiled, "Is that so?"
"This is only part of it!" Jace said firmly, "Believe me, Miss Lux - I am not simply trying to escape guilt. If I want, I can completely blame all problems on accidents, and then
Tell the council that I will not conduct such experiments again, and then I can easily get rid of the council's small punishment..."
"But you insist that your way will work." Lux nodded, "You think your Hex technology can definitely transform magic, right?"
"That's right." Jace's eyes were shining with longing, "You should know how great and fascinating magic is. It can turn decay into magic, make flowers impossible, and Hex Technology will make it possible.
Will bring magic to everyone!”
For a moment, Lux was almost moved by his words.
As a mage, Lux knows very well how powerful magic is, and if possible, she would be happy to let everyone use magic.
In other words, allowing everyone to enjoy the convenience brought by magic is what Lux hopes.
But at this time, facing the excited Jace, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she tentatively gave a suggestion of her own.
"Mr. Jess." Lux carefully considered the words, "I agree with your ideals. I also believe that magic should be controllable and benefit everyone - but the problem is that ideals must be based on reality.
If the Council thinks your experiments are dangerous, I don't think my help can change that perception."
"..."
"You just said that you can easily get rid of punishment if you want, right?" Facing Jace who fell into silence, Lux added, "The key to the problem now is that you are unwilling to give up your research.
, but this research will not be supported.”
"Yes, you are right." Jace's tone finally stopped being so high-pitched, "This is where I need your help. Help me convince the council."
"Compared to convincing the council, I actually have another better choice." Lux did not follow Jace's words, "I can become your personal sponsor."
