Jess blinked and stared blankly at the smiling little girl in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Someone is already sponsoring me now. The Gila Mann family is stable and generous." After being stunned for a long time, he stammered and spoke again: "Thank you very much for your appreciation, Miss Lux - but if you can't pass
Without the approval of the Parliament, there is no way for me to set up a private laboratory in Piltover, even with a sponsor..."
"Since it doesn't work in Piltover, why not try in Zaun?" Lux once again dropped a bombshell, "Compared to Piltover, which is just passable, Zaun is more in need.
A place of magical power.”
"How is this possible?!" Jace said subconsciously, "Miss Lux, it's okay if you don't want to help, but you don't have to use Zaun to entertain me - what kind of guys are those guys in the dark alley? They don't
He has no skills, no respect for the law, and no respect for knowledge. If it hadn’t been for the kid from Zu An, my laboratory wouldn’t have been blown up!”
When Jace talked about Zaun, he became excited. Perhaps because he had just drank a little wine, his face turned red and he did not hide his disdain for Zuan at all.
"Those guys in the garbage dump are just a group of bugs destined to wallow in the mud. If Miss Lux thinks my idea is whimsical, you can just say it. There is no need to use those Zaun people to ridicule me!
"
Jace's words made Lux sigh helplessly.
She had just seen the attitude of the Zaun people towards the people of Piltover yesterday, and today she had seen the attitude of the people of Piltover towards the Zaun people again.
Originally, when Jace said "use Hex technology to bring magic to everyone," Lux even thought that he would be the same kind of person as herself, but after mentioning the Zaun people, she had to admit,
It seems that from Jace's point of view, Piltover people are considered human beings.
However, Lux, who realized this, was not depressed.
During the two days of traveling in Piltover and Zaun, she had seen enough magical realism, and Jace's prejudice against the Zaun people was not a big problem. Thinking of what Kalya said, Lark
Silk is going to have a good talk with Jess.
Unfortunately, at this moment, the prison visit ended.
"Mr. Jess." When the guard took the initiative to remind him of the time issue, Lux could only leave a sentence in a hurry, "If your understanding of Zaun has changed, or there is really nothing you can do, you are welcome to come to Zuan."
Ann, look for me - well, just go to Forgan's Tavern, I'll leave my contact information there."
After saying that, Lux hurriedly left the cell at the urging of the prison guards.
Then, it wasn't until Lux left the prison and saw Ino again outside that she suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten the main purpose of her trip.
Without Kalya by her side, Lux was obviously not used to it, so much so that she forgot the most important part.
"That is to say, you listened to Jace talk about his ideals for a long time, but you didn't ask him about the Enlightenment Crystal?" After Lux recounted the experience in the cell, Kalya said helplessly, "You
I don’t know where his enlightenment crystal came from, and whether it is still in stock?”
"There's nothing we can do about it." Li Li curled his lips helplessly, "The time to visit the prison is limited, so I don't have time to ask."
"...You, you!" Kalya snorted, "In this case, we have to pay a little attention to Jace's trial, but listening to what you said, Jace might not be able to fight for it."
"Try to let him go to Zaun with us?"
"Almost." Kalya thought for a moment, "But now is not the time to think about this. Everything has to wait for the verdict from Jace."
……………………
Lux's prison visits were not successful.
And because of her unsuccessful prison visit, Finn, who was far away in Zaun, was in a state of distress.
After Lux left Zaun, a clever tracker hid in the shadow of the building and watched her enter Lanxun Manor from a distance.
This guy is familiar with the terrain, and has always kept a long distance from Lux, so that neither Lux nor Ino noticed these two guys climbing over walls.
Naturally, Kalya, who shared the perspective with Lux, did not realize that someone was following them.
Because Lanxun Manor belongs to a "high-end residential area," the stalker did not go further and reported the news to Finn.
After receiving the news, Finn couldn't help but frown.
"Lanxun Manor? Every family has a resort there. This news is useless! Didn't you see which building they entered?"
"Don't think about it, you can't see." Mr. Shadow, who was hired, snorted, "I can only tell you that Lanxun Manor, if you want me to come closer...you have to pay more!"
Although Finn is extremely dissatisfied with this kind of behavior of raising prices, he is very clear about the quality of his men. It is okay to let them fight, but it is a bit unprofessional to let them follow them - professional matters should be left to professionals.
Do.
Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied he was, Finn finally threw a bag of gold coins to the other party.
"I want some useful information to find out which holiday estate she lives in!" Finn snorted coldly, "You are the most reliable guys under Hilko!"
"Silko has many reliable people." The other party took Jin Hex carelessly, "Don't use him to pressure me, he is my head, but it has nothing to do with you!"
Although he said it was okay, after getting the money, Mr. Shadow still increased his efforts very reliably - the next morning, when Lacus walked out of the gate of Lanxun Manor, he fell into the distance again.
Up.
This guy has already made a plan. No matter where Lux goes, he only needs to follow him from a distance. When Lux and Ino return to Lanxun Manor, he will disguise himself as tourists and touch them up close.
Know their address.
There is nothing wrong with the plan itself.
But he never expected that Lux's target today... was the prison in Piltover!
Watching Lux and Ino enter Piltover Prison together after registration, Mr. Shadow felt numb.
How can we keep track of this?
You know, Piltover's Stillwater Prison is not in the city, but on an isolated island. The ships going to this isolated island are all individually numbered and parked at a special pier!
Not to mention staying near the prison to keep an eye on it, even if you stay near the dock, there are prison security patrols all over the place!
People like Mr. Shadow who have been wandering between black and white all year round know very well that in Piltover, the law enforcement officers are just a group of high-level security guards. The people who can't really be offended are either the guards of the big family or people in certain important positions.
Security personnel.
The former is easy to understand. Those chaebols are all very precious about their lives, so the guards are naturally not mediocre people.
As for the latter... Piltover's Zodiac vault, high-level prison, key laboratory and other places are forbidden areas!
Stalking outside the prison?
What a joke.
Seeing Lux boarding the ship to Stillwater Prison, Mr. Shadow decisively gave up the mission, and then quickly found Finn.
Finn, who was full of expectations, received news that left him confused.
"That guy went to Stillwater Prison in Piltover. He can't be kept under surveillance - the money you added will be considered as the exploratory fee for this information."
