This environment is even worse than the wastelands on the outskirts of Piltover.

Unlike Jayce, Viktor's face was filled with shock and surprise. "Zaan has really changed so much! It's hundreds of times better than before!"

"Hundreds of times better?" Jace showed an expression of disbelief. "It's still hundreds of times better than before?"

"Yeah." Victor had a nostalgic look on his face and pointed to a place not far away. "That used to be a river of garbage, but now it's been turned into an asphalt road. Next to it was a dump of abandoned metal elements, but now it's also been razed. And those buildings were still covered in rust before I left."

"That's unbelievable." Jace said with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "Congratulations to Zaun for upgrading from a garbage dump to a dilapidated parking lot."

His words were clearly filled with the arrogance unique to the people of Piltover. Even as an envoy for negotiations, he felt that he should maintain this arrogance.

"Jace!" Victor suddenly turned his head and called him with a serious face.

"What, what's wrong?" Jace had never seen his friend like this before. He used to be calm and indifferent.

"Zaun is my hometown. I hope you apologize!" Viktor said seriously and firmly. "Also, don't you know why Piltover has become a garbage dump?"

Uh.

Jayce was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but recall what Councillor Camille had said before he left. She said Piltover owed Zaun a great deal, and asked him to go to Zaun with sincerity.

Jace hadn't taken it seriously at first, but now that he thought about it, he probably understood. "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

"Of course I know, my friend." Victor's expression softened after hearing the other party's apology. "That's why I just asked you to apologize."

He knew that his friend wasn't a bad person, but he just had that arrogance that only Piltover people have. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked him to apologize, but would have just left.

"Are you two the envoys from Piltover who came to negotiate?" As the two were talking, a red-haired girl in a law enforcer's uniform walked over.

"Wei?" Victor looked at the girl and blinked. "Are you Wei?"

"You are..." The girl was stunned for a moment, then she reacted. "Victor? The Victor from old Jack's family?"

"It's me, my teacher...are you okay?" Victor asked softly.

"He's doing well and now has his own mechanical workshop." Wei smiled and said, "Come with me. The Enforcer is waiting for you."

The two nodded and followed.

As they moved closer to the center of Zaun, the look of surprise on Viktor's face grew. If he had recognized the corners of Zaun before, the landscape now looked drastically different.

This place was no longer the chaotic and dirty city he had imagined, but a paradise full of order and cleanliness.

"Is this all thanks to that law enforcement officer?" Victor asked softly.

"I think so." Wei nodded in agreement, saying, "But our Lord Lawman believes that this is the credit of the people of Zaun themselves."

993 Funny Prince

The credit of the people of Zuan themselves?

Not only Jayce, but even Viktor, a Zaun native, thought this statement was a bit nonsense.

How could they not understand what Zaun was like in the past? Without the new law enforcer, Zaun would never have become what it is today.

"I understand your perspective, and I agree." As if reading their minds, Wei shook her head. "But our Lord Lawman says that all credit belongs to the people. Without the people's labor, how could New Zaun exist today?"

This……

Jace and Victor were stunned for a moment, looking thoughtful.

"We're here." Standing at the entrance of the law enforcement building, Wei opened the door. "Please come in, both of you."

Walk through the corridor and up the stairs.

Jace and Victor saw the sign for the "Law Enforcer's Office" and the door was directly open.

Besides the female law enforcement officer sitting at the desk, there was a girl with light blue hair standing beside her, constantly shaking her arms as if to act coquettishly.

"Teacher, teacher! Just let me go! I promise I won't make any trouble!"

"No."

"Why, even Ike can go!"

"Ike won't blow up the lab."

"It was an accident! It was an accident!"

Listening to the blue-haired girl's coquettish entanglement, Jayce and Viktor looked at each other, unsure of what expression to use. Meanwhile, Wei, who was standing beside them, rushed into the office and lifted the blue-haired girl into the air.

"You've gone too far, Boom! Your Excellency the Law Enforcement Officer has something important to do now!"

"Hmph, what serious business could be more important than her adorable apprentice?" Baobao pouted, dissatisfied, "Put me down now, Wei! I'm feeling very uncomfortable when you do this!"

"Come out with me!"

"No, I don't want it!"

Baobao struggled hard, but she couldn't break free at all against the powerful Wei, and could only let the other party drag her out of the office.

Jayce and Viktor were sweating profusely, and the corners of their mouths were twitching wildly.

"Come in, both of you." At this moment, Xiaonan from inside the door said softly, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

"No, it's okay."

"Nothing, I think it's pretty good."

Jace and Victor walked into the office and spoke politely.

"Camille should tell you why you're here." Xiaonan spread out the documents on the table and pointed at the contents. "I've prepared your lab and won't let your progress be lost."

"Thank you!"

“That’s so much appreciated!”

Jayce and Viktor were delighted to hear this. When they were assigned here, they had been wondering if they could continue the experiment. They hadn't expected this Zaun law enforcer to be so easy to talk to, even going so far as to prepare a laboratory for them.

"Also, I have a new project here." Xiaonan spread out another document and said with a smile, "I wonder if you are interested?"

Planning?

Jayce and Viktor looked at each other, unsure how to react. They admitted that this young law enforcer was truly remarkable, having transformed Zaun, once a garbage dump, into a place of perfect order.

But science is no joke!

This thing requires not only a flash of inspiration, but also persistent exploration and careful verification back and forth. How can you just plan it and then do it? Isn't that...

My thoughts stopped here.

"Your Excellency, Law Enforcement Officer, where did you get this inspiration?" Jace looked at the plan in his hand and felt like he was struck by lightning.

"Is there any chance of it happening?" Xiaonan did not answer his question, but asked softly.

"If, if there are enough materials..."

"Don't worry about the materials, just get started."

Xiaonan waved his hand, dismissing them from the office. He then opened the screen and entered the group chat interface.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: The project plan was sent out, and Jace was indeed very satisfied.

Curly-haired guy: Of course, don’t you see who made this plan?

Book artist: It’s not you anyway, so why are you so proud?

Curly Hair: Why the hell can't I be proud? This is our president! The president's glory is also the glory of us members! You know nothing!

Book artist: Haha, this is still my man!

This is an actor: just send it out, and you will see the results in about two months.

This so-called plan is actually the design drawing of the Hextech flying door.

Jess was right. Although Xiaonan had some talent for urban governance and policy, she was a complete blank slate when it came to scientific research. But it didn't matter; her man was a god.

If it weren't for Zaun's long-term development, she could even ask An Ran to build the Hexgate directly, without even Jayce and Viktor's participation.

But Xiaonan felt that this was too much and went against her original intention.

Even if An Ran didn't build the Hexgate himself, this blueprint would have saved Jayce and Viktor years of detours. As long as they followed his ideas, the Hexgate's arrival was a foregone conclusion.

call.

He exhaled lightly and looked towards the endless mountains in the distance.

"Ah, this is Mount Sodden!" Next to him was a brown-haired man, also riding a tall horse. He was quite handsome, with bright eyes. "What a beautiful view."

"As the prince of Kaedwen, you have never been to Mount Sodden?" An Ran raised his eyebrows.

Mount Sodden is actually located in Kaedwen, and this mountain range divides the entire Kaedwen into two parts: Upper Sodden and Lower Sodden.

The mountain range got its name from the Civil War that swept across the continent, the famous Battle of Sodden Hill.

"As the prince of Kaedwen, I was even kidnapped by human traffickers." The brown-haired man shrugged and said, "If I hadn't met you, Mr. Witcher, I would probably have been sold to Skellige. I heard that the bearded men there are only interested in handsome men..."

"That's an interesting rumor." An Ran looked at him thoughtfully. "I want to confirm it."

The brown-haired man suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and his whole body began to tremble. "No, no, no, don't! I was just kidding, seriously!"

994 Les Miserables

Brad was panicking at this moment, really panicking.

He had been traveling with the demon hunter before him all this time, so he naturally knew that his power was truly immense. No matter what kind of demon, bandit, or human trafficker, he was no match for them.

His swordsmanship and strength were unprecedented in Brad's life.

How could such a person not be panicked when he was asked to sell himself to Skellige Island to accompany those bearded pirates and sailors?

Although Brad didn't think he was a qualified prince and didn't like the cold palace of Kaedwen, he didn't want to be a rabbit either. He was a normal man who liked soft and cute girls, not bearded sailors.

"Yeah, I was just kidding." An Ran looked at the other person's frightened eyes and spoke in a calm tone.

No, you don't look like you're joking at all!

Brad grumbled furiously inwardly, but he didn't dare speak his mind aloud. He could only nod obediently. "Well, that's good."

"You are not fit to be a prince, Brad." An Ran turned his gaze towards the mountains before him and suddenly said, "Especially a prince of Kaedwen."

Kaedwen, this country can be said to be very special.

As the second largest country in the world, its land area is second only to Nilfgaard in the south. It is also one of the frontiers of the northern resistance against Nilfgaard and has a poor relationship with the neighboring Kingdom of Aedirn.

As the future heir of Kaedwen, he must be at least very resolute and courageous. Otherwise, when Brad inherits the throne, it may be a disaster for the entire country.

"Yeah, I think so too." Brad knew this and nodded slightly. "So, I left the palace."

When he said this, his tone was a little lonely and complicated. If it was just loneliness, then I could understand it, but why the complexity?

An Ran clearly heard the other party's hidden meaning, but did not delve into it.

"Mr. Anran." After a long silence, Brad spoke again, "Putting aside Kaedwen's complex geography and simply judging by the standards of ordinary nations, what do you think is the most important element in becoming a king? Is it ruthlessness and a heart of stone?"

"A king's existence is to bear the weight of the country." An Ran smiled and said, "If you are only cruel and heartless, you are not a king, but a tyrant."

"Yeah, I think so too." Brad nodded as if he had found a confidant, and said frankly: "Tyrants will eventually perish. Why doesn't he understand..."

"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with your father." An Ran said meaningfully.

The king of Kaedwen, Brad's father, was named Henselt.

Whether in the original novel of The Witcher or in the Witcher series of games, this guy's temperament and actions can be described as a "tyrant."

The protagonist Geralt is even more outspoken, saying that he has met a thief who looks like a councilor, a councilor who looks like a beggar, a prostitute who looks like a princess, a princess who looks like a pregnant cow, and a king who looks like a thief.

And this king who looks like a thief is Henselt.

This guy is more like a thief than a king. He is even more greedy and shameless than a thief.

"I wouldn't even want to admit he's my father." Brad sighed and said, "If you hadn't seen it right away."

Based on An Ran's understanding of Brad's character during their journey together, he already had a pretty good idea of Brad's character.

This is a good man.

He is kind, gentle, helpful, and has no contempt for the weak, not even for a beggar on the street. If such a person becomes king, he will surely possess a kindness that most kings lack.

But Brad was not polite at all to his biological father, and An Ran could even hear the hatred in his tone.

This father and son seem to have big problems.

Thinking this in his heart, An Ran suddenly reined in his horse.
