Chapter 847 War Mason

Pic City is divided into two districts: north and south. The south district is home to Greville Street, Baijiu Avenue, Stellar Street, Agnostic Square and other famous scenic spots and commercial areas in Pi City. The north district is home to more wealthy people and furnished buildings.

with their important factories.

What separates the north and south city is an abyss-like grand canyon. It was a disaster caused by alchemical explosives when the canal was being dug two hundred years ago, and Za'an also sank to the ground at that time.

Connecting the north and south districts is an arch bridge called the Science and Technology Magic Bridge and an old suspension bridge connected by iron locks. Whenever a strong sea breeze blows through the canyon, the iron locks on the suspension bridge will act like strings.

Sound alternately.

Residents who are accustomed to living in the bottom city often feel panicked when walking across this bridge because of the huge difference in height. Justo walked on it with a nervous look on his face, clutching the cloth bag at his waist tightly.

However, it seemed that he was also wary of the children of Zaan who climbed up from the bottom of the city to steal. In fact, his shabby dress could no longer attract any attention.

"The disguise was successful. Now I am a student worker from Zaun." Justo repeated in his mind: "The goal is to join the new universal capsule factory of the Philos family."

He was a war mason.

War Masons are a special force belonging to Noxus. Each War Mason is often a resourceful scout, engineer and warrior. They often move ahead of the Noxian army and penetrate deep into enemy territory to detect possible invasions.

route to find key targets.

Of course, Justo's appearance here is not because Noxus is preparing to go to war with Piltover, but because he has an additional goal.

Noxus has always attached great importance to Piltover, the transportation hub that connects the continent of Valoran and Shurima. The troubles here cannot be hidden from the Noxians, let alone Camille, the person behind the scenes.

trend.

The information on the universal capsule was placed on the desk of His Majesty the Emperor ten days ago, and after a simple analysis, it was judged by His Majesty's think tank to have "unparalleled strategic value."

He originally thought that it would take a long time for a technology to be invented and promoted, and he still had a long preparation period before lurking. However, he did not expect that only half a month had passed before the universal factory was recruiting workers.

And he received an order from His Majesty the Emperor - to bring the technology of the Universal Capsule and even Sewell back to Noxus!

As soon as possible and no matter the cost!

This is very inconsistent with Noxus' usual style, and it can easily damage the friendship between Noxus and Piltover. According to past habits, Noxus should be waving large sums of money to support the newly born technology.

The big customer who placed the order, or simply drove the army over to grab it.

But now the domestic situation is very special.

At the same time, the war began on the fourth and fifth fronts. Noxus, which was invincible ten years ago, had not won a victory for a long time. The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Preidion on the Ionia battlefield made the army panic.

The empire's finances are in dire straits, and the soldiers' pay is almost no longer available.

The Noxus Empire is now in the calm before the storm. I don't know when there will be a sudden boom, blowing many people into pieces. His Majesty the Emperor's majesty is getting weaker and weaker, and he is obviously a little anxious.

The fate of the empire is closely related to the fate of Justo. The mission of the war mason is to solve problems for the empire. Even if this mission is extremely dangerous, he may lose his life at any time! His life is also at any cost!

Looking at the guards in front of the manor who were wearing the uniforms of the Philos family and equipped with swords and spears, strictly checking the identity of every applicant who came to apply for a job as a student worker, and searching their clothes, Justo said something silently in his heart.

'For Noxus!'

Immediately, he acted cowardly and walked over.

Fortunately, his professional disguise eluded Feros' guards, and he successfully entered the interview venue and met the interviewers.

Most of them are craftsmen supported by the Philos family and will become technicians of the universal factory, leading the recruited workers to learn part of the production of universal capsules and manufacture universal capsules.

Justo's eyes focused on the faces of one of the young men and women.

The man has a strong build and a vicious scar on the right side of his face. The girl is petite and cute, but her voice when questioning applicants is harsh and hoarse.

Through the investigated intelligence, we learned that these two people were Ariane and Alyssa, Sewell’s classmates from Zaun when he was studying at Hextech Academy. After graduation, Sewell only recruited these two people.

He came to the Philos family and served as his confidant and assistant.

It is too difficult to contact Sewell who is at the center of the focus alone and steal research information. These two people... are the best breakthrough!

Sitting behind the long table, Arian was feeling a little emotional about the impermanence of life.

Half a month ago, he was still a student, nervously completing his graduation project defense in front of professors, but now his identity has been changed and he has become the one who decides the fate of others.

Because he was born in Zaun and was unable to join Professor Jace's group, he once felt sorry for himself and wanted to give up on himself. When Professor Victor recommended him to come to Xavier, he also refused. That was too embarrassing!

Later...well, I just wanted to hold an umbrella for others after getting caught in the rain. Whether the person applying for the job today is from Zaan or Piltover, he only adheres to one principle here, fairness!

After the two-hour interview, he felt a little thirsty and wanted to go to the toilet. He said to Alyssa next to him: "I'm going to the toilet."

"Well, when you come back to replace me, I'll go too." Alyssa's voice became hoarse, "And I might have to take a little rest."

"Oh, okay."

After squeezing his way out of the queue of applicants, Arian went to a bathroom that was cleaner than his home in Zaun and solved his personal problems.

After washing his hands, he put his hands into his trouser pockets. He wanted to take out a tissue to wipe his hands, but suddenly he was stunned and slowly took out a paper ball from his pocket.

What is this? Who stuffed the trash?

The doubts unfolded, and a paragraph written on the paper came into view, and Arian's eyes gradually widened.

'Meet you at the Conshe Tavern on the Avenue of Hundreds of Wine tonight at seven o'clock. What Feros can give to Sevier, Noxus can give you more!'

When? Noxus?!

Arrian is self-aware, but he is not yet worthy of being recruited by Noxus. The other party mentioned Sewell, and the target can only be the Universal Capsule - if I go there with the technology of the Universal Capsule, I will be in Noxus...

It would be a lie to say that he didn't envy Ji Xing, but his heart skipped a beat for a moment when Professor Brinor's face appeared in front of his eyes, and it instantly calmed him down like cold water.

I ‘can’t beat’ Sevier’s.

Besides, how can I repay kindness with hatred?

After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to remain calm and returned to the interview place. Suspecting that the guy who stuffed the note was still hiding in the crowd and watching him secretly, he didn't make any announcement.

Only when he was alternating with Alyssa, he seemed to be somewhat attentive and said: "Your throat can't speak too much at one time, so take a rest. Oh, yes, this pack of tissues is for you. The paper in the men's bathroom seems to be almost used.

, I think the consumption on the ladies’ side will be greater.”

Alyssa took it with some doubts, and noticed Ariane's strange force when inserting the tissue, and said hoarsely: "Thank you, I'll be back in half an hour."

She clutched the pack of tissues and walked out.

…

At the same time, at the other end of the manor.

The open floor-to-ceiling windows radiate half of Piltover's luminous spiers, and you can also overlook the glimmer of some Zaun buildings.

Gathered in the living room covered with luxurious carpets was another group of people. They were dressed in luxurious clothes and elegant temperament. They were all well-known wealthy businessmen in Piltover, and they even included two congressmen.

Councilor Mel Myrdal, who is as beautiful as a black pearl, and Caitlin's mother, the majestic noblewoman Councilor Gila Mann.

During the chat over tea, they easily settled on a series of cooperations that were astronomical to ordinary people, and after three cups of tea, they gradually focused their attention on the owner of the living room.

"Dear Mrs. Camille." Mel nodded politely and said, "Thank you for the tea. It's almost time for us to get to the point, right?"

"Yes." Another wealthy businessman with a big belly said: "Before showing everyone the universal tool box, you specially called us people here. Is there anything you need us to do?"

Camille accurately put the teacup back to its original position, without missing a beat, and said: "Sewell, let's show everyone the product first."

His eyes then focused on Ji Xing.

Everyone has heard the name 'Sevier' a lot recently, and when they walked into the room they already knew that the young man sitting next to Camille was a man of the hour.

During the previous chat, eyes occasionally glanced at this amazing scientist who suddenly appeared in Zaun, and found that he had no stage fright in such an environment, as if he came from a noble family in Piltover, which made him very unique.

impression.

'Compared to Jace, who developed Hex technology, he may also have natural talents in politics. Unfortunately, when he was unknown, he directly took refuge in the Philos family...'

Mel murmured regret in his heart, watching Ji Xing stand up and take out a capsule from his sleeve.

Is this the universal capsule?

The capsule was blue in color and was about the size that could be pinched with two fingers as rumored. Under the curious gazes of everyone, Ji Xing gently threw it into the open space in front of him. With a soft bang, there was a lot of noise on the ground.

A blue box came out.

"oh……"

"It's almost like magic."

Hearing is worse than seeing. I witnessed the use of the universal capsule with my own eyes, and there were bursts of exclamation and approval in the room.

Ji Xing said: "This is the product we will mass-produce and sell now, the universal tool box. Its size is 60*40*40 centimeters. The main body is made of alloy material. It is strong and durable. The capacity is enough to carry most daily necessities, or

It's books, various tools, and weapons.

As long as you carry a capsule with you, you can say goodbye to redundant luggage and backpacks, and take out what you need anytime and anywhere without worrying about the weight of the things."

"Are you trying to sell us?" A lady covered in jewelry said with a smile, "Although it does sound very tempting."

"It's a preview. After all, I will explain the convenience and usage of the 'Universal Toolbox' in public at Agnostic Square at noon. I am afraid that I will forget the words and have stage fright." Ji Xing then joked.

Everyone laughed, and a few pairs of eyes looked at Ji Xing more solemnly. Mel looked at the ordinary box on the ground and asked: "If I didn't misunderstand what you meant... even if I don't understand you wrongly...

This box is full of things, and it can turn into that little capsule again? Including...anything?"

"Anything." Ji Xing nodded: "Books, food, and even magic props, but it's best not to install things like clocks and watches. There will still be some errors in the hour hand."

He looked at the wealthy merchants and nobles in front of him: "Who is willing to provide some items to try?"
