"I really didn't expect that we would get to this point." Jace, who left Zaun and returned to Piltover, finally ended his fanatical state, "Go to Zaun to do experiments, and work with Professor Heimerdinger's assistant
Let's steal from the college's warehouse together..."
"Don't be too burdened." Regarding Jace's slightly neurotic change, Victor understood very well, "I didn't gain much from my unhappy childhood in Zaun, but at least 'finding out my true purpose' is a step.
.”
"Find out your true purpose?" Jace was a little surprised, "So, your real purpose is to work with me to create the future of Hex Technology?"
"Then to improve people's livelihood, it would be best to cure my leg." Victor showed a bright smile. It seemed that the cup of tea had an effect, and he looked more relaxed. "Compared with that, we are now
It’s not a big problem after all.”
"I understand, but it's still heavy." Jace finally shrugged, "Well, I think we need to find a place to rest for a while and eat something. We are quite busy tonight."
"There happens to be a Poro Cafe nearby." Victor thought for a while and recommended a dining place. "There are a lot of Poros there - I guess after today, I won't be able to go back to the academy, and I won't be able to see Professor Heimerdinger."
That cute poro.”
"Let's go." Jace nodded, "I invite you!"
In the end, Jace and Victor each drank two cups of espresso in the coffee shop, and then ate something to cushion their stomachs. The two borrowed a small blackboard, and they analyzed Jace's previous experiments sentence by sentence.
problems and possible solutions.
The highly consistent way of thinking made the two of them feel resonance at the soul level. Before that, they had never thought that there was another person in the world who was so similar to themselves.
Jace and Victor obviously had very different personalities and completely different backgrounds, but they were so similar in terms of ideals and knowledge that when the cafe closed and they let go of Poro and left, they already regarded each other as their own.
confidant.
Then, these two confidants entered the academy quietly and with familiarity.
"The college's warehouse is always a place that no one pays attention to." Under the cover of darkness, Victor pulled Jace around several guard booths, "This is in the most corner of the college, and there isn't even a dedicated warehouse manager.
"
"The college is always more stingy than anyone else in areas where it shouldn't save money." When talking about this topic, Jess couldn't help but said angrily, "On the one hand, it said that funds are limited, and on the other hand, it arbitrarily increases experimental funds for those related households, even in
When closing the accounts, they were also perfunctory...Although I don't like the administrative staff here, the necessary manpower should not be lacking."
"However, there is no benefit to having less." When talking about this topic, Victor suddenly couldn't help laughing, "A lot of the daily maintenance of the college has been handed over to people like me who were born in Zu'an. The money I paid for studying at the beginning,
A lot of it comes from these chores—work-study.”
"However, there are almost no people who can become as talented as you in Zaun." Jace shook his head, "So no one will do these jobs."
"There is no way, the money from work-study is so pitiful that no one will take it as their main job." Victor shrugged rarely, "If I hadn't lived in the college dormitory with that little money, I would have often used Professor Heimerdinger's money.
I’m afraid I’ll really starve to death..."
"That's really bad-"
"Shh! Don't make a sound! The patrol is coming!"
……………………
Victor is worthy of being a work-study student, and he knows everything about the college very well.
Even with Jace, he still managed to go around the grass, avoid sentries, enter the college building, and arrive at the warehouse smoothly.
"We have to hurry up, Jess." Leaning against the door of the warehouse, Victor let out a long breath, "We have to hurry up and move out the most important equipment."
"High-frequency oscillation generator, stabilizer, gyro controller..." In the darkness, Jess murmured in a low voice, "Then take the first elevator tomorrow morning - hurry up!"
"It's too dark here, I can't see the label on the key." Among a bunch of keys, Victor tried hard to find the one with the warehouse door. "After moving things out of the warehouse, I have to find a box or something overnight and turn it into furniture.
The way..."
"What furniture?"
"Furniture boxes are less eye-catching...wait, who are you?"
The next moment, a bright light came on.
When Jace and Victor adapted to the light and opened their eyes again, they were stunned to see a character that they had never expected.
Member of Parliament for Piltover, Mel Myrdalda.
"What made you two stay up in the middle of the night and come here?" Mel raised his face slightly, and raised a pair of sharp eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Jess, I remember that you were just deprived of parliament this morning.
You have lost your identity as a researcher; and you, Heimerdinger’s assistant, you shouldn’t be here either.”
"Hey, this doesn't seem to be my room." Victor blinked, trying to make an innocent expression, "Sorry, I think I might have gone to the wrong place -"
Victor's performance is exaggerated and clumsy.
But after Jace realized that everything had been seen through, he simply stood up.
"Sir, I believe my experiment will be successful..."
"Did it successfully cause an explosion?" Mel pursed his lips slightly, "Sorry, I can't see the future."
"But someone saw it." Jess said without hesitation, "Sir, I beg you to give me a chance."
"No one will disobey the council's decision, not even the Gila Mann family." Mel looked at the excited Jace in front of him with interest, "Are you going to leave Piltover?"
"Someone provided me with a laboratory in Zaun." After hesitating for a moment, Jace finally said, "Sir, I really hope that this future can bloom in Piltover, but now I have no choice."
(Hearing Jace simply tell him about the new sponsor, Victor's eyes widened in shock - he wanted to stop it, but unfortunately it was too late.)
"Do you think those people will be willing to help you complete your research on magic?" Jace's reaction was beyond Mel's expectation. She snorted and seemed to have completely lost interest in Jace, "It seems that your mother said
That's right, your desire for magic has made you lose your mind..."
"Whoever is willing to be my sponsor is a mage!" Jace clenched his fists and broke away from Victor's hand, "My idea is correct——"
"Mage?" After hearing this word, Mel finally showed an interested expression, "Is she the lady who saved your life... This is really unexpected."
