Monster Hunter in League of Legends

Chapter 83 The Hidden Past

Lady Grey?

Camille's face showed a hint of surprise upon hearing the news about herself.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Inside the house, Caitlin was clearly unaware of Camille's arrival. She showed only slight surprise at Tarlin's question, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Indeed, many people know the legend of the Grey Lady, but it's just a legend, and there's no concrete evidence to prove its existence—however, based on the clues, it seems to be related to the Firos family?"

Although somewhat surprised that Tarlin would suddenly ask her about this, Caitlin still analyzed it professionally: "The internal structure of the Firos family is more unique and closer than that of other trading nobles in Piltover."

According to legend, there seems to be a special organization within their family called the Spy Organization—my mother might know something about it, but she never told me.

Hearing Caitlin's words, Tarlin nodded.

The timeline that Tarin is in is neither the old version of the Runeterra universe, nor the Runeterra universe of the Battle of the Two Cities version, but a special universe in between.

This can be seen simply from Piltover's current level of technology.

In the Battle of the Twin Cities, after Jayce completed the technological innovation of Hextech Crystals, although the various technologies of Piltover were improved accordingly, it had not yet reached the level of completing large-scale, high-quality deployment like in this world.

Without exaggeration, disregarding other magical aspects, at least in terms of equipment, Piltover in this timeline truly possesses the strength to dominate the entire Runeterra.

Unfortunately, we can't ignore it.

After all—it's already called Runeterra, so magic is naturally the dominant force.

Furthermore, Hextech crystal technology is, in essence, a way of applying magic.

Aside from the varying levels of technology in Piltover across different timelines, another factor is the differing degree of control exerted by the various families over Piltover.

In this timeline, the trading nobles not only superficially control Piltover, but in reality, even Zaun has become their possession.

They built something similar to a Hextech crystal refining factory in the central city of Zaun.

However, when it comes to the processing and purification of Hextech crystals, the technological monopoly of the Feros family is unavoidable.

Under these circumstances, the Philos family now truly has extensive connections and influence, at least within the limited territory of Twin Cities.

Thinking this, Tarlin stood up and walked towards the wall where Camille was, saying slowly, "The Grey Lady does exist; she is Stevan Firos's sister, Camille Firos."

Upon hearing Tarlin's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Caitlin's eyes. She subconsciously wanted to say that if it was Stevan's sister, wouldn't she be too old to shoulder the responsibilities of a secret agent?

But recalling Tarlin's extensive knowledge of Piltover during their previous conversation, Caitlin also fell into thought, seemingly comparing it with the information she had about the Feros family to determine if there were any other people with the same name.

After pondering for a moment and confirming that no one else was around, Caitlin said with some surprise, "According to the information I have, Camille Feros seems to be the family steward in charge of the Feros family's internal affairs? She rarely appears in public. And the current head of the Feros family, Stevan, is quite old. If she is Stevan's sister—"

Although she didn't finish her sentence, Caitlin's meaning was clear: Camille was a bit too old.

In response, Tallinn said, "This is all thanks to Camille's surgery."

Although Jayce was the one who made the technological innovation of Hextech Crystals, that doesn't mean that no one had done in-depth research before that.

As a family that has mastered the entire technology of Hextech crystal from mining to purification and production, this is merely to maintain their relationship with Pierre.

With its absolute resource monopoly, the Phiros family never stopped researching and developing Hextech.

"The Firos family tradition is to select one of the younger generation of the family to be trained as the chief spy to assist the family head and maintain the family's long-term prosperity at all costs."

"Stevan was born weak, so Camille took his place. As he saw his sister receiving more resources, Stevan's jealousy began to grow."

"Later, when Camille was twenty-five, their father, the former head of the Feros family, was seriously injured and died in an attack by Zaunite thugs. Stevan, who became the new head of the family, began to vigorously promote Hextech enhancement technology in an attempt to make up for the lack of his childhood."

Standing outside the wall, listening to Tallinn's words, Camille's eyes narrowed continuously.

As Tallinn drew ever closer, Camille felt that long-lost emotion—tension.

She had no idea that Tallinn, as an outsider, would know these secrets about the past that even many of Mrs. Piltover didn't know, nor did she know why Tallinn was walking towards the wall where she was hiding.

Was it an accident? A coincidence? Or had I already been exposed and discovered?

But how did he know his identity?

It should be noted that even within the Firos family, only a handful of people, along with some secret agents, knew Camille's true identity.

To Camille's relief, after reaching the wall, Tarin did not continue forward. Instead, he turned around, facing away from the wall, and looked at Caitlin.

Just as Camille breathed a sigh of relief, Tarlin's words made her tense up again.

"Then, Hakim Nedri, a crystallologist from the coastal city of Bergüen in Shurima, gained Stevan's favor and became the chief technician of the Firos family."

"Hakim performed Hextech surgery on Camille, and the two fell in love at first sight during the procedure."

But they both knew that once the surgery was over, they would go their separate ways. Hakim would have to devote himself to other projects, while Camille would focus on her duties as an undercover agent.

"So, a few days before the final surgery, Hakim asked Camille to elope with him, which left Camille in a state of confusion and uncertainty."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Tarin's lips, and he turned around, looking at the wall behind him.

"Stevan was furious about this."
