LOL: Let me touch your steel

It’s still unknown how long Zhang Xu will stay in Piltover... If there was another person who could share Zhang Xu’s attention, he might be able to feel a little more relaxed.

At a time like this, my friend can only die rather than me!

As for why Ezreal knew that Lady Gray would be there tonight...of course he has to thank his good uncle!

Although his uncle was just an ordinary professor at Piltover University, in fact, his uncle's status in the entire Piltover University was no less than that of the "Philadelphian Emperor".

Ezreal also heard his uncle mention it unintentionally, saying that the Gray Lady would appear at the party tonight, and hoped that he could go with him to attend the Evolution Day Ceremony tonight...

I didn't expect it would come in handy in a place like this.

Listening to Ezreal's news, Zhang Xu nodded thoughtfully.

Good job, little yellow-haired guy, you know it all in Piltover!

I even know this kind of news...

Zhang Xu's mouth twitched slightly, and a light smile appeared on his face:

"Ezreal, you know more than I thought..."

"So, do you know anything about the Hex Crystal Mine controlled by the Ferros family? Or, where is the Hex Crystal Mine?"

Chapter 146 Camille

Ezreal's face suddenly froze, and he was instantly shocked.

so...

Is Zhang Xu's goal actually the Hex Crystal Mine controlled by the Firos family?

Regarding the Hextech crystals currently circulating in Piltover, naturally many people have speculated about their origins, and basically the upper class in Piltover already has some knowledge of them.

The Ferros family controls the production of Hextech crystals.

On this basis, Ezreal knew more inside information.

Ever since his parents' accident, Ezreal has been determined to become an outstanding explorer, hoping to go to the Shurima Desert and the Tomb of Ne'zuk to find traces of his parents.

But he also knew in his heart that even outstanding explorers like his parents had encountered danger, and if he went forward blindly, he would only die in vain.

So during the initial period, Ezreal was exploring Piltover and Zaun.

The Hex Crystal Mine controlled by the Philos family was also discovered by him during that time.

only...

There were many people around the Hex Crystal Mine, almost surrounding the mysterious crystal mine. At that time, it was difficult for Ezreal to avoid the attention of those guards and sneak in.

Only after he returned from the tomb of Nezuk and mastered the arm guard in his hand did he have the opportunity to set foot there.

Unfortunately...

That attempt ultimately ended in failure.

Thinking of this, Ezreal subconsciously rolled his Adam's apple, looked up at the second-floor attic where he could not see anything clearly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He thought of checking the Hex Crystal Mine simply to satisfy his curiosity and would not actually commit any theft.

but...

If I tell Zhang Xu, will he just loot all the Hextech crystals?

Although they are very dissatisfied with the Ferros family's monopoly of the Hextech crystal mines, at least these Hextech crystals will eventually be used in Piltover's technological research!

Ezreal knows very well that Hextech crystals are absolutely crucial to Piltover's development to its current prosperity!

Ezreal hesitated for a moment, and in his mind it seemed as if two people were arguing with each other.

One of the villains was constantly tempting him like a demon:

"Tell him, this isn't a betrayal at all...Even if you don't tell him, he will find the true location of the Hex Crystal Mine sooner or later. If you don't tell him, you will be beaten to death!"

But another voice in his mind kept advising him not to be a traitor to Piltover.

The two voices continued to intertwine, causing Ezreal to gradually show a struggling look.

Seeing Ezreal's expression, Zhang Xu knew that this guy must know the location of the Hextech Crystal Mine, and he could roughly guess why he hesitated.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in the Hextech crystal itself. What interests me is... the things hidden behind the Hextech crystal."

Zhang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling very confident.

There must be something else hidden under the Hextech crystal mine... In the entire Runeterra, the mysterious Hextech crystal mine is only found in Piltover, which is very abnormal.

Especially since Ike can master the power to reverse time with the Hex Crystal fragments in his hand...

Zhang Xu already had some vague guesses in his mind, but whether his guesses would come true or not, he still had to go to the Hex Crystal Mine and experience it up close.

"What's hidden behind the Hex Crystal?"

Ezreal frowned, unable to understand the deeper meaning of Zhang Xu's words.

Zhang Xu glanced at Ezreal casually and said with a smile: "Do you think, with my strength, I still need to be interested in your Hextech crystals? If my goal is just to plunder Hextech crystals, all the people in Piltover combined cannot be my opponent."

Zhang Xu, who has already made a further step, has absolute confidence. After all, Zaun still has Janna as its high-end combat force, but Piltover... is basically just a bunch of mortals using technology.

The only thing worth noting is the speaker who is giving a speech on the stage.

Although the "skillful and clever" person in the palace has been a master in the history of the country, and the "skillful and clever" person in the palace has been a master in the history of the country, but the "skillful and clever" person in the palace is still an old guy who has lived for thousands of years...

Who knows if this guy will burst out with terrifying power if he is pushed into a corner.

"What you said...seems to make sense."

Ezreal opened his mouth and found that he really couldn't find any reason to refute Zhang Xu's words.

Judging from the commotion Zhang Xu created in Zaun...it is no exaggeration to say that he can destroy Piltover.

Ezreal really couldn't think of anyone in the entire Piltover who could stop him.

"Okay... I can take you there, but you have to promise me that you won't loot all the Hextech crystals. Piltover's future development depends on these things."

"make a deal."

......

In the elegant pavilion on the second floor, a slender woman stretched out her slender hands and quietly savored the famous tea in her hands. Her expression and posture were elegant enough.

She was the only one sitting in the entire elegant pavilion, and the rest of the people all stood by respectfully.

The woman's identity is clear as she can maintain such an attitude in the elegant pavilion exclusive to the Philos family.

It turned out to be Camille, the ruler of the Ferros family and the mysterious Grey Lady of Piltover!

Through the thin silk curtains, Camille could easily see everyone in the venue. Although she was not keen on the feeling of looking down on everyone from a high position, she did not reject it either.

Camille glanced around casually, frowning slightly as if she had discovered something:

"He...should be Professor Lemire's nephew?"

The young woman beside him immediately stepped forward and nodded respectfully, "Yes, he is Professor Lemire's nephew, the now famous explorer, Ezreal."

Camille nodded slightly and tapped her fingers twice casually:

"So, what are the identities of these people sitting next to Ezreal? As far as I remember, their names are not on the list for tonight's banquet."

Hearing this, Camille's great-niece, the current head of the Philos family, was slightly startled, with a hint of hesitation on her face:

"Maybe... a friend that Ezreal made during his adventure?"

She didn't understand why Camille showed extraordinary interest in these strangers.

Chapter 147 Art is explosion!

"Friends you made outside? Misty, you're not observant enough!"

Camille curled her lips slightly, as if to express her dissatisfaction, but in fact she was teaching her beloved niece: "If you observe patiently, it is not difficult to see Ezreal's attitude towards these people."

"Ezreal sat upright, his body straight, and he would wipe the sweat from his forehead from time to time, which completely revealed his unusual etiquette. If I remember correctly, Ezreal should not be of this kind, right?"

The woman Camille called Misty was startled for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully:

"Ezreal is a bit lazy and eccentric. Although he is smart, he has never shown any interest in learning. This has caused Professor Lemire a lot of headaches... He really doesn't seem like the type of person who would sit in such a posture."

Seeing Misty looking at her humbly, Camille nodded with satisfaction:

"Ezreal was obviously a little reserved, even afraid, when talking to the handsome man next to him. On the contrary, the man's behavior was very casual and full of confidence."

"So now, do you still think they are Ezreal's friends?"

Camille put down the famous tea in her hand, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes:

"The last time I asked you to send someone to investigate... there shouldn't have been any results, right?"

Camille ignored the embarrassment on Misty's face and continued, "At first I thought it was Victor who went to Zaun and researched something, but if even the family's spies didn't find anything... then it can only be man-made!"

In addition to Camille's personal preferences, Misty's wisdom and ability were also very important factors in being supported by Camille to become the head of the Ferros family.

After Camille's suggestion, Misty quickly figured out the key, and a look of shock appeared on her face:

"Zuan's huge momentum...was it created by these few people?"

Camille raised her chin without comment, and said in an inexplicable tone:

"Never be so arbitrary, this is just a possibility... However, as soon as this level of momentum happened in Zaun, these people immediately appeared in Piltover..."

Camille raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled with interest:

"I'm really looking forward to it..."

Despite having taken over the public affairs and secret operations of the Ferros family, and the power of life and death that came with it, Camille still refused to sit at home. Her pleasure lies in well-executed espionage, a cup of freshly brewed tea, and long walks in the haze.

The appearance of Zhang Xu and others also seems to bring some different fun...

"Huh... Looks like, after all, we've been able to get through this year's Evolution Day safely!"

"Don't you think so, Wei?"

A heroic woman was wearing a police hat, which mostly covered her originally pretty face. Next to her, a sniper rifle that was almost as tall as her seemed to attract more attention.

In front of the woman, a hot pink-haired woman was looking around with a worried look on her face. Although the Evolution Day banquet was about to end soon, she still had not forgotten her duty - to be the law enforcer guarding the safety of Piltover.
