I joined the group chat as Aizen in the Ninja World

"Al, you shouldn't do this." Camille's eyes softened and she said softly, "Let's stop here, okay?"

"Impossible!" Al waved his arms and shouted, "For Piltover, for our Ferros family! That damn lawbreaker must die, she can't be kept alive!"

"I understand." Camille sighed softly.

"I know you'll understand me, sister!" Al chuckled and sat back on the sofa. "Because you're the masterpiece of our Philos family, the highest work of art!"

"No, I'm just an incompetent sister." Camille walked up behind him and put her hands on his shoulders. "I couldn't help my brother, and in the end, I could only watch him fall into the abyss."

The smile on Al's face froze, and he looked up at Camille suddenly.

"Two years ago, the head of the Betko family passed away." Camille gently placed her hand on her brother's neck and said calmly, "That dedicated mechanic from Piltover died so pitifully in his own bed."

"Those are the criminals from Zaun..."

Before Al could finish, Camille continued, "A year ago, the Dot Factory in Piltover closed down. Thousands of workers lost their jobs and livelihoods, but were ruthlessly driven to Zaun. Half a year ago..."

"Enough! You say this, do you think I did all that?" Al shouted angrily and tried to stand up.

However, Camille used her arms to press him down onto the sofa. "I wish it weren't you, what a shame."

At this moment, Al finally understood that his sister knew everything he did. He had always thought he was in control and had covered up everything perfectly in front of his sister.

"You, what are you going to do?" Gradually, Al felt that something was wrong. He found that his sister was pinching his neck more and more tightly, and there was no intention of letting up.

"I'm heartbroken, Al." Camille's arms gradually tightened, but her expression remained calm. "There are only two of us left in the entire Firoz family, and now I have to kill my own brother with my own hands."

"No, don't..."

"This reminds me of the moment I killed my father with my own hands twenty years ago."

what?

El's eyes widened, his face filled with shock. How could his father be killed by his own sister? You know, his father was very partial to his sister. Why?

"Only if Piltover exists can Ferros continue to exist." Camille said in a cold tone, "If Piltover disappears, Ferros will also be destroyed. For the future of Piltover, you cannot continue to live..."

Creak, creak.

El's cervical vertebrae crackled under the weight, and his life slipped away rapidly. Before dying, the once-arrogant head of the Filos family glared at his sister and uttered two words through gritted teeth. "Monster!"

"Yes, I am a monster." Camille did not deny it, saying lightly: "Since the love I lost, since the day I was transformed, I have been one."

959 Camille's Warning

puff.

Al's body fell limply and fell beside the coffee table.

Camille looked down and sighed deeply. "Robert."

"Yes, Miss." The old butler appeared like a ghost, with a dull expression on his face.

Even though the body of Patriarch Ferros lay there, the family's loyal butler ignored it. He had long ago determined that the tall young lady before him was the true owner.

"Please contact the Council for me and tell them I have something to announce." Camille said calmly.

"I understand." Robert turned and walked towards the communications room.

This was originally a very surprising thing. You know, even for Al, who used to be a member of parliament, it was difficult to contact the council to hold a regular meeting.

Although the Ferros family holds a high status in the entire city of Piltover, the status of the councilors themselves is equal. If other councilors don't want to give you face, then they don't have to give it.

However, the tone of the Blue Steel Shadow at this moment was extremely relaxed, as if the Council was run by her family.

The fact is, the Council does not need to give face to the head of the Ferros family, but it must give face to the Blue Steel Shadow. Because the Blue Steel Shadow is not only the actual controller of the Ferros family, but also the protector of Piltover.

Ten minutes later, in the council hall.

The Blue Steel Shadow sat at the round table, while the other council members sat in their respective seats. The most eye-catching one among them was the short old man sitting on the left.

This is the dean of Piltover Academy, Heimerdinger.

Yes, that's the great inventor from League of Legends. Because he's a Yordle, his height is at least three times smaller than that of an average human. Even when he stands up, he only reaches the knees of an average person.

But no one present would look down on him because of his short stature. Heimerdinger has made great contributions to the development of the entire Piltover to its current stage.

"Everyone, I want to discuss the future of Piltover." The Steel Shadow was the first to speak. "You should already be aware of the explosion that occurred a while ago."

"That young man from the Tallis family, right?" the portly councilman sitting on the right said, "How outrageous! What a fantasy!"

"That's not the case, Councillor Botaril." Mel, who was sitting on the left, shook his head and said, "Actually, I think Jace's idea can still be realized."

She had met Jace privately two days ago and had a clear understanding of the principles of the Hextech Gem. As a Noxian, she really believed that this concept could be realized.

After all, back in Noxus, she had seen many powerful magicians who could harness magic. If those magicians could do it, then using technology would naturally be possible as well.

"If I'm not mistaken, Senator Mel has already conducted in-depth research?" said Ms. Gilaman, who was sitting on Mel's left.

Gilamane is also one of the four great families of Piltover. Although their influence is slightly less than that of Ferros, it's not far behind. Her daughter is Caitlyn, the Piltover policewoman in League of Legends.

"To be honest, it's like this." Mel didn't deny it and nodded, "And I have already made plans and calculations. If the experiment is done properly, we will get an alternative energy source that is more stable than crystal energy. Isn't that right, Professor Heimerdinger?" As he spoke, he looked at the short old man.

"That's... indeed." Heimerdinger said hesitantly, "The amount of energy it releases is indeed far greater than crystal energy."

Although Heimerdinger was firmly opposed to the use of magic, he couldn't speak against his conscience. If the Hextech crystal could be completely stabilized, the energy it emitted would definitely exceed all current energy sources.

As for why Heimerdinger hates magic, it is because a serious experimental accident occurred in Piltover that year, resulting in a large number of deaths and destruction of buildings.

And the source of this accident is magic.

"So, this Jace is not only innocent, but also meritorious?" Another thin congressman touched his chin and said.

"We can put Jace's matter aside for now." Mel saw the other council members gradually softening their stance on Jace, and said with a slight curve of his lips, "Right now, we have a more pressing issue that needs to be resolved."

"What?" The fat congressman raised his eyebrows.

"Zaan." Ms. Giraman spoke slowly, causing everyone present to fall silent.

"Zuan?" Heimerdinger tilted his head after an unknown amount of time. "What happened to Zaun?"

"According to our intelligence, Zaun has been quite turbulent lately," Ms. Giraman explained. "They've established a new law enforcement team and a new Archon."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Heimerdinger doesn't care about political issues, he only cares about science.

Furthermore, he believed that with the enforcement of the law by the law enforcement team, the unstable Zaun would naturally become more stable. This was obviously a good thing for academics.

"In some ways, it's a good thing." Meier didn't completely deny Heimerdinger, but rather viewed it dialectically: "But it also means that Zaun is gradually slipping out of our control."

"Those chem-barons have either surrendered to the Enforcement Team or have been eliminated." The tall, thin councilman, clearly possessing comprehensive intelligence on Zaun, stated bluntly, "Zaun has now been completely integrated by the Enforcement Team."

"Is it that Vandel?" Senator Mel raised his eyebrows and asked.

She naturally knew this person. It was Vandel who was the instigator of the Ashes Incident. For the major council members, Vandel was no stranger to them.

"No, the current leader of Zaun is a woman." Camille spoke at the right time and said lightly: "A very powerful woman." When she said this, she couldn't help but think of the other party's knife.

"Don't think about using force to resolve Zaun right now. That would only bring us catastrophic destruction."

Hearing the words of the Piltover guardian, everyone present couldn't help but gasp, their faces filled with disbelief.

960 Storm Goddess

Book artist: It seems that Camille is really a smart person.

The Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: She has been the guardian behind Piltover for so many years, so she can’t be a fool.

After the message was sent, Xiaonan, sitting at her desk, closed the screen she was monitoring. A hint of caution crossed her face, and her fingers tapped rhythmically on the tabletop.

After Camille's previous probing, she was now completely certain that Piltover would not make any further hostile moves towards Zaun. This was both a good thing and a bad thing.

Although he would not make any hostile moves, Xiaonan was sure that the other party would definitely close the bridge between Zaun and Piltover, completely cutting off communication between the two cities.

This is a cruel blow to Zaun today, not in the superficial sense, but in the economic sense.

Zaun cannot develop agricultural production, and its only economic channel is industrial alchemy. These alchemy products are usually only dumped in Piltover.

Now that the bridge has been completely severed, Zaun's foreign trade routes are also blocked. Naturally, those alchemical products cannot be sold domestically, and new commercial channels must be found.

of course.

Xiaonan can also use her own military force to force Piltover to release the blockade, but doing so will be inferior and will also cause dissatisfaction among the people of Piltover.

It is impossible to solve everything by force, and conquering by force alone is not in line with their concept of liberation.

"So, where should I start?" Xiaonan stood up and walked out of his office.

The road to Piltover is now blocked, and Zaun has no formal trade channels. There is only a dilapidated port, and the ships that stay there can only sail near the coast at best.

Unless Xiaonan can find a new trading port. Wait, a trading port?

She suddenly realized something and looked to the right. "Yeah, why didn't I think of that before?"

Lazy Kitten: Bilgewater? Is that even possible?

That's right, the new trading port Xiaonan had in mind was Bilgewater, not far from Zaun. It was a small island completely surrounded by the ocean, with waterways extending in all directions.

However, Bilgewater isn't a traditional trading port; it's more of a pirate hub. Eighty percent of its residents are pirates, while the remaining 20% are thugs, robbers, thieves, and fishermen.

It was an extremely chaotic place, and by comparison, the dark alleys of Zaun were like a children's playground.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Totally feasible!

Xiaonan's tone was full of determination. He was just a bunch of pirates, so how could she not handle him?

As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a clear bird song. She turned her head and saw a bluebird perched on the eaves in front of her door. It had a graceful figure and exuded a unique aura.

"Why is there a bluebird here?" Xiaonan raised her eyebrows, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She subconsciously stretched out her hand, and the bluebird naturally flew to her wrist.

"This is..." Looking at the mark on the bluebird's forehead, Xiaonan suddenly took a breath.

Illustrator: I see, it's a pirate island. But it's true, how could a mere pirate stand up to our Little Sister Nan's mighty sword?

After Qi Luoli's explanation, most of the group members understood the uniqueness of Bilgewater. However, no one paid much attention to it, considering it just a bunch of pirates.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: My family, I picked up a bird. [Picture]

Miss Beaver: Wow, it's beautiful!

Curly: This bird is good. Do you plan to steam it or braise it?

Lazy Kitten: Birds are so cute, and you're eating them? Where did you get your freak freak from? My suggestion is to bread them and fry them. The kids next door are crying with envy!

Skirt-lifting maniac: Puff!

Soul Society's villain: "Here I am, there aren't even any birds. But I heard there are phoenixes on the mountaintop of the Winter Claw tribe, I don't know what they taste like."

Miss Beaver:?

Hatchet Girl: Sister Hua, you are not really planning to eat the phoenix, are you?

The Evildoer of Soul Society: If I have the chance, I think I can try it.

Lazy Kitten: Wow, wow! Wait, there's something wrong with this bird! Is there a mark on its forehead?

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Well, this is what I want to show you. Guess what this mark represents?

Lin Fengjiao: Does this mean that this bird is domesticated?

Red Snake Fairy: A magician’s pet?

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: No, guess again.

Skirt-lifting maniac: Oh, sister Xiaonan, please don’t embarrass us! Reveal the answer quickly, the child is very curious!

This is an actor: Is that a divine seal?

Upskirt Maniac: ???

Book Artist: What does the divine seal mean?

This is an actor: gods who can transform into animals usually leave special marks on a part of their body. This can distinguish themselves from ordinary animals and also allow them to absorb faith and divine power during the period of animal incarnation.

Hatchet Girl: Ah, this...

Book artist: In other words, what Sister Xiaonan picked up was not a bird... but a god?

Lazy Kitten: Holy crap! Could this be the legendary goddess of storms? Janna?

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: That's right. I also know this from reading ancient texts. The Storm Goddess transforms into a blue bird and has a question mark-like mark on her forehead.

Skirt-lifting maniac: I picked up a god out of nowhere. Isn’t Sister Xiaonan’s luck too good?

Scarlet Snake Fairy: Is that a coincidence?
