The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities

Chapter 36: Parliamentary Accountability

The next day, Piltover Parliament.

The meeting round table, which could have been full, was deserted a lot, and only a few people came to the parliament.

"Since when did we need to meet so frequently."

Mel leaned on the seat belonging to the congressman, and there was no emotion in his words, just like a normal daily greeting.

"Good day, Patriarch Stewan. I thought you wouldn't come today."

"I was almost killed yesterday, shouldn't you say something?"

Stevan frowned tightly, seemingly observing the rest of the congressmen, but his eyes kept focusing on Camille.

"Marcus, tell me, what happened last night." Mel fiddled with his fingers and asked in a routine manner.

Although Jace was also involved last night, Camille is the leader, and she is happy to see each other's jokes.

What's more, the deceased MP was from Heimerdinger and has nothing to do with her. It's a good thing to die.

It's a pity that only the flowers and plants of the Philos family were burned. It would be great if the whole family was blown up.

"Members of the Congress!"

Marcus was shocked, gave a salute, and hurriedly reported:

"Last night our coastline was breached, and the guards were all dead. The traces of the shot should be the power of Hextech. In addition, the high tower of the academy and the Philos Manor exploded. The Lord Senator and five innocent people were confirmed dead, and dozens of others were injured."

"Hex's power, what is Victor capable of? He fought with Senator Camille at night, and divided his troops to attack us."

Mel's obscure eyes glanced at Stewan. The Myrdalda family's strength in Piltover was not weak, and she was very aware of what happened last night.

"This... I don't know much about the specific situation of the three congressmen yesterday."

Marcus lowered his head, thinking of the promise of Philos Manor last night, and added again:

"But I heard that Senator Gilamain took a Zaun prisoner with him. And they didn't seem to get anything."

"What do you mean? Yesterday Wei helped us a lot. Do you want to throw the blame on us?"

"I don't mean that, Senator Gilamann. It's just... If you and Senator Tallis could be there, we might lose a lot less."

Marcus' eyes were erratic, but the words that came out of his mouth were very bold.

"We fought in Zaun all night and almost never came back. We left no less sweat than you." Caitlin said angrily.

"It's almost impossible to come back... That is to say, you failed, and we almost lost four councillors in one night. And you acted without authorization, and we didn't know what happened last night."

The congressman who gave up his seat to Camille before spoke lightly, but his tone seemed to be questioning.

"Can you guys protect Piltover? If you can't, let Noxus do it!"

The chunky congressman patted the table, feeling a little excited.

If a certain Your Excellency hadn't appeared in his mansion this morning, he would have been on the airship bound for the Immortal Fortress.

A congressman died yesterday!

In the future, who knows if it was him who died.

Fortunately, someone was willing to keep him safe, and he also reached an agreement with the person on the other side, which made him feel relieved.

"Don't worry, Mr. Senator, we used to develop people's livelihood too much, and it took a little... a little time to convert it into armaments."

Mel smiled, her thumb and index finger were a short distance apart, and then her voice changed:

"Of course, I think Senator Camille can give us an accurate answer. Neither your family nor our members want to live a life of fear."

"This has nothing to do with Councilman Camille, it's because we are too weak, you don't know what Victor and Shirko did, they made people take Shimmer as a one-time weapon, and they also created a batch of hex gems that can be used Energy robots." Caitlin retorted.

"I don't care what they have or do. What I care about now is whether our safety can be guaranteed."

The blond congressman admired his manicure and understated the crux of the problem.

They were in a hurry to hold a meeting early the next morning, not just because they were afraid that the next person to be killed at home would be themselves.

Not everyone is Myrdalda and Philos. The defense of the dead councilor's house was not bad, but he, four bodyguards and a housekeeper were all dead.

Even now, Camille hasn't said a word, her eyes are still fixed on Stewan, her face is expressionless.

Jace struggled for a while, but thinking of what happened last night, he pursed his lips:

"If Professor Heimerdinger agrees, our Piltover defense system can also be loaded with hex gems, whether it's a law enforcement officer's weapon or vehicle."

"Very good reply, Professor Heimerdinger, what's your opinion? You are the designer of all the weapons in Piltover at present." Meier turned his gaze to Heimerdinger.

"I don't actually agree with the development of Hextech, it has brought too many tragedies. But if we don't do that, we will be hurt in the end. With the death of the Senator, there is no room for us and Zaun to recover. ."

With a sad face on Heimerdinger's face, he raised and lowered his hand, and finally sighed:

"I hope this power will not bring destruction, Jace, I will open up all the weapon design blueprints to you, and provide help for this."

"Thank you for your support, Professor Heimerdinger." With a serious face, Jess stood up and bowed respectfully to Heimerdinger~www.wuxiaspot.com~ On the research and development of weapons, Heimerdinger is the expert, he Do some hex-like modifications at most.

"The safety issue is half resolved, but should we talk about what happened last night?"

After being guaranteed life, the chunky congressman took the lead:

"Don't you mean to keep the surface peace first, and wait for us to turn the economy into military power? I didn't know we had an action against Zaun last night, and now that the Law Enforcement Bureau is under the command of Senator Camille, there are no emergency plans?"

"Our coastal defense wall fell for the first time, and this should not be the responsibility of Senator Camille. Besides, shouldn't we probe the bottom of the opposite side?" Caitlin protested.

She hates these idle councilors. They were still fighting in Zaun last night. These councilors can't do anything except hold them back.

"Going to the bottom, and we killed a councilman. If it's going to be a real war, how many people here will survive? We need some time to arm ourselves," said the female councillor. "I think we'll have to talk to Zaun's people. talk."

"What are you kidding? Zaun's threat is so close at hand, you still want peace talks?" Caitlyn's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Can you be responsible for what happened last night? Gila Mann, how are you going to appease the people who were affected by the disaster last night." The female congressman said lightly, "Money? You are now staying at the House of Congressman Tallis yourself. Promise? Piltover The husband doesn't believe in the promises made by Fake Dakong." The female congressman twitched her fingers, and her calm words pierced Caitlin's heart.

But her eyes were never on Caitlin, her eyes were always on Camille, waiting for the other party's reply.

"I..." Caitlin opened her mouth, clenching her teeth, her face full of grief and anger.
