Chapter 118 I Propose to Deprive Heimerdinger of His Seat as Councillor
The cooperation between the two cities was immediately implemented. Starting from the afternoon, Viktor, with the help of Vandel and Hilko, brought a group of Zaun people and began to design a new device for Zaun. In Rowan's view, the new device was a large-scale projection player. Yes, images were not a very strange thing in Piltover. Although it was not as good as Rowan's previous life, it could capture and project the images. Therefore, what Zaun had to do now was to place a projection screen on the glass attic in the middle area of Zaun.
After it was placed, at a fixed time every day, the projection screen would start to play some stories about Janna continuously.
Legends about Janna, or some stories told by the people of Zaun.
In short, if you want the people of Zaun to start believing in Janna again, you have to let the people of Zaun know that Janna has not left them in these years and what Janna has done. Therefore, advertising naturally became the best way.
Using traffic to constantly brainwash the people of the two cities, constantly telling them what Janna had done, and then creating an atmosphere that would be a little sad and then ignite, is this like a modern short video?
In short, although it is always a bit strange to say it this way, after all, who knew that the way to revive a god would be this way?
But when Rowan expressed his idea, the top leaders of Piltover and Zaun thought it was feasible, and the councilors said that they would build projection screens in the Zodiac Basement and the Star Avenue, and they would provide their own funds and manpower, and there would be no need for Zaun to intervene.
Therefore, in the afternoon, the middle square of Zaun was very lively.
Victor had a Hexagon assistive device tied to his leg, his thin face slightly raised, stretched out his hand and pointed at a corner, saying something, and Rose, who was wearing a protective head cap, wiped her sweat and looked at the place where Victor pointed with excitement.
"Be careful, these glasses are easy to break. Be careful when cutting them, don't get hurt."
"Well, although I am very grateful to the foreman for thinking about me, I really want to ask, is there any possibility that my hand will be injured?"
"Is it great to have a prosthetic limb?"
"I wear anti-cut gloves. Do you need them? I brought a few more pairs."
"The work has already started in Piltover. In order to satisfy Goddess Janna, we must not lose to the Piltover guys!"
"That's right, speed up the progress. We must strive to install the screen tonight! Let them see the speed of Zaun!"
A group of Zaun people are working in front of a tall and beautiful clock tower made of glass on the middle square. This was originally the territory of an alchemist baron, but after Hilko spoke, the alchemist baron chose to sell his territory out of respect. Of course, he was not interested in what Hilko said about the Janna revival plan.
Because not every Zaun will admire and like Janna. After all, not all Zaun will be like the Zaun in the Black Alley. Under the leadership of Fandel, they have let go of the past. If forgetting hatred can get a better life, then the Zaun in the Black Alley are willing to let go of hatred, because they cannot pass on the hatred of their generation to the next generation. Their struggle is for the next generation to live a better life. Now there are other ways, of course they will choose.
Therefore, the God Resurrection Plan is not something that can be completed in a day or two. If you want to do it, it will take a lot of time.
But the Zaun people are very confident about it.
Because this is the best opportunity.
At the same time, in the afternoon of Piltover.
At this moment, a meeting led by Councillor Talis, followed by Councillor Giraman, accompanied by Councillor Babs, and Councillor Midalda, who hesitated again and again, also chose to join. On the white clock tower, a huge meeting was held for the new reform of Piltover.
At this parliamentary meeting, except for the members of the Firoth family, all seven members of Piltover were present.
"Please allow me to say it again, members of the parliament. Members Giraman, Babs and I saw the goddess Janna with our own eyes when we were in Zaun. She appeared in Zaun and hoped that the people of the two cities could help her revive. Although I am very young, I also know what Janna means to us in Piltover."
After saying this, Jayce looked at the other members of the parliament seriously.
Congressman Babs quickly took over the conversation. He looked at everyone with a little displeasure and said, "I say, Congressman Talis has made it clear enough, right? But why don't you say anything? Let me think about it. Do you want to hand over a god to the Zaun people?"
"Goddess Janna not only belongs to Zaun, but also to us!"
Hearing this, several congressmen also raised their hands: "I agree to speed up the pace of Hextech technology. On the new evolution day, these will not only help Goddess Janna, but we can also use these things to create some content. There are too many stories to write in the musical."
"Indeed, during this period, Zaun's research on Hextech technology has almost caught up with us. I said at the beginning that we should not give the patent of Hextech technology to Zaun people, but alas."
Jace looked at the councillor who said this and said seriously: "I repeat, Hextech is not my own thing. It is my invention, but I could not have done it without Viktor, so this patent is shared by Viktor and me."
"But he chose to be a Zaun!" The councillor said dissatisfiedly. They made a decision to let Viktor crawl out of Zaun, enter Piltover, and become an honorary scientist of Piltover. They also allowed Viktor to create a surname for himself, which would be approved by all councillors and families in Piltover.
They wanted to tie Viktor to Piltover because they also saw Viktor's potential. This Zaun who was not trusted by anyone before was actually a genius.
But what was the result?
The result was that the limping thin man actually rejected their conditions, and then resolutely returned to the backward Zaun with Hextech. He built his own home, improved the environment of Zaun, and benefited the living environment of the residents.
To be honest, emotionally, they actually admire such principled people, but rationally, they really hate Viktor.
Because of Viktor, Zaun has the possibility of catching up with Piltover.
"Anyway, let's not talk about this topic. Let's talk about the new direction of Hextech and how to use it to help Goddess Janna." Jayce said in a deep voice.
At this time, a small hand stretched out, and the congressman looked and saw that it was Professor Heimerdinger.
He slowly stretched out his hand, blew the mustache beside his mouth and said loudly: "I don't agree to speed up Hextech anymore, Jayce, you are already fast enough, you don't need to rush so much, the current Hextech can help people, but you have to speed up the progress of Hextech. If you continue like this, Hextech will definitely become something that destroys everything."
"Professor, you worry too much." Jayce looked at Heimerdinger and said.
"Jace, I have lived for countless years. I have been here since the birth of Piltover. I have seen many things. I have witnessed with my own eyes what kind of disasters magic can bring to mankind. You and Viktor developed Hextech without my permission, which has crossed the line, but you did not weaponize Hextech, so I accepted it." Heimerdinger said seriously.
As he spoke, he stood up to make himself look taller and more imposing. Then, Heimerdinger's hands were entangled together, and a solemn look appeared on his furry face: "Stop, take it step by step, don't be anxious, Jayce, you still have a lot of time, don't you?"
"I still have a lot of time? Professor, I have always wondered if your concept of time is different from ours?" Jayce frowned and looked at Heimerdinger and said seriously.
No one knows how long Professor Heimerdinger has lived.
But he has been active in the two cities for hundreds of years. He is one of the creators of Piltover, a high-ranking councilor, and even a legendary species. His concept of time is completely different from that of humans.
Yes, Jayce does have time. He is still young and has a hundred years to squander, but what about Viktor?
How much time does he have?
Viktor's health is getting worse and worse. Although Singed and Rowan's girlfriends help with treatment, anyone can see that Viktor is just hanging on to his life. He didn't tell Jayce, but when Jayce went to the factory in Hilco, he accidentally discovered a device that Viktor made in secret.
It was a Hex core!
It seems that Viktor wants to use the Hex core as his new heart. Although Jayce is a little disgusted with this behavior, because Jayce has always believed that once humans are equipped with prosthetics and their organs are turned into mechanical organs, they are no longer human.
He emotionally believes that the reason why people are human is because of this body.
However, after going to Zaun and seeing so many people and things, Jayce has certainly grown up. He understands that he can't be so stubborn, because as long as they still have human emotions, then even if his whole body becomes a prosthetic body and limbs, he is still a human.
Victor, it's to survive.
Therefore, accelerating the progress of Hextech technology is not only to help Goddess Janna, but also to help Victor, because with the current conditions in Zaun, it is impossible for Victor to make a Hextech core in advance. He needs his help.
As for why Victor didn't tell him clearly, Jayce thought it was because of the relationship between the two cities.
After becoming a councillor, Jayce looked at many things differently from before, but he promised Victor that after he became a councillor, he would benefit the lower class and let the people of the lower city live a better life.
And Jayce did it. Just by giving up the Hextech patent and providing it to the Zaun people, it was enough for all the Zaun people to respect Jayce.
Therefore, Victor may not want to bother him anymore.
But, we are brothers!
Jayce thought with some distress.
"Jayce, my concept of time is indeed different from yours, but I understand." Heimerdinger looked at Jayce with a gentle tone, but Jayce interrupted him halfway through his words.
This was the first time Jayce interrupted Heimerdinger.
"Professor, you don't understand anything at all! I know you are doing this for the good of Piltover, and I also know you are thinking about the future of mankind, but now, the times are changing, and Piltover is already at the forefront of the times. We are the only leaders of this era. There are things that we must do, and you have been stopping us from doing those things." Jayce put his hands together and placed them in front of his chin. He looked at Heimerdinger seriously and continued:
"You always say that Hextech is dangerous and refuse us to open it, but when the box is opened, it is not dangerous, but infinite possibilities. Professor, science is a dangerous but infinitely possible academic discipline. Isn't this what you taught me? But why do you always shrink back and refuse to develop magic?"
Heimerdinger didn't expect Jayce to talk to him like this. He continued earnestly, "Jayce, I saw a city destroyed by magic. I saw humans fighting for magic. There were countless bloodshed."
"Wouldn't we fight without magic? Wouldn't we fight each other without magic?" Jayce looked at Heimerdinger speechlessly. He was even a little angry. "Have you ever gone down to the Underworld to see what kind of life the people in the Underworld live? Have you seen the changes that Hextech has brought to them? You only think about the dangers of Hextech, but ignore the convenience and benefits brought by Hextech. What do you want to do?"
"Stop the development of Hextech? Stop the revival of Goddess Janna? Stop the relationship between the two cities from getting better? Stop." Jayce didn't say the last sentence, which was to stop Viktor from surviving.
But his words had already deeply hurt Heimerdinger.
Big Head stood on the table and looked around. The councillors were all looking at him, with a serious and solemn face.
At this moment, they stood on Jayce's side, and no councillor sided with Heimerdinger, even though he was one of the founders of Piltover.
This was of course related to interests, but also to the future of Piltover.
Heimerdinger had been preventing Hextech from accelerating its development, and as a councillor said before, because of Heimerdinger, Zaun's understanding of Hextech was almost catching up with Piltover.
They admitted that Zaun did have talents, but compared talents?
Where in the world could compare with Piltover? !
Impossible!
Therefore, Bighead's behavior seriously affected the interests of the councillors and seriously threatened the future of Piltover.
Stared at by these somewhat indifferent eyes, Heimerdinger unconsciously took a step back, staggered, and almost fell off the table. He looked sad, and then looked at Jayce with pleading eyes.
Heimerdinger at this moment was very pitiful.
Jayce couldn't bear to see Heimerdinger like this, but thinking of Viktor's current situation and Heimerdinger's unconsciousness and inaction, Jayce took a deep breath.
Sitting in this position, Heimerdinger is the most incompetent councillor.
So
"I propose to expel Heimerdinger from the parliament seat."
Jayce closed his eyes and said loudly.
Heimerdinger was stunned, then looked at the other councillors.
Then, one hand after another was raised.
On this day, Heimerdinger, a councillor who had accompanied Piltover for hundreds of years, was voted out of the parliament seat without revealing it to the outside world or making it public.
