Two days later, the opening ceremony of the "Bandle City Academy of Science and Progress Branch" will be held. This day is destined to become the most colorful day in the history of the two cities of Piltover and Zaun. Although at this time the twins
The residents of the city didn't realize it at all.
It's just a school opening. Although it is a school built by the Yodels, so what?
At this moment, the only people who really care about this matter are the residents of the lower urban areas of Piltover and the residents of Zaun. In other words, they are the people at the bottom of the two cities and the oppressed ones.
The people with the highest status are also the people with the largest base.
Regardless of whether they have registered or not, whether there are children at home who have been admitted, the people who came specially to watch the "opening ceremony" today made the law enforcement officers of Pi City extremely nervous, because there were a large number of Zaun people there.
Gathering here, they must always be on guard against accidents.
In fact, the lower urban area of Piltover has always been a very lively place, because although it is also within the jurisdiction of Piltover, it is not managed so strictly. Of course,
It is definitely much stronger than the chaos in Zaun.
But this can also be said to be the most inclusive area in Piltover. Demacians, Noxians, Shurimans, and people living here temporarily also come from all over "Runeland"
, of course, they must at least have legal identities, unlike Zaun, where all kinds of "criminals", "thieves", and "pirates" are rampant.
The "new" yordles are the most special among them, because they are the only ones who have broken Piltover's "shallow rules", truly planned a "territory" of their own here, and truly settled down.
.
The "territory" here naturally refers to the "Bander Community" and the "Bander City Academy of Science and Progress Branch".
The reason why I say this is because it is basically impossible for businessmen from other places to purchase ownership of large tracts of land in Piltover. The best among them can only own a rented shop.
Even most people can only set up stalls in markets in lower-class urban areas and cannot even get their own shops.
Piltover is Mrs. Piltover's Piltover, and this is not just a saying.
Although it is known as the "City of Progress", this former seaport city of Shurima is not progressive at all. As a city with independent sovereignty, its "immigration policy" is obviously somewhat exclusive. Foreigners can only "residence".
"Right", maybe not even "right of residence".
Although there is no explicit regulation, it can be seen from the resistance encountered by the Yodel people when they prepare to settle.
For the "business families" who have carved up most of Piltover's interests, any external force is the object of their resistance. There are already enough "players" in Piltover, and they will not allow outsiders to come in.
The attackers intervened, but it was obvious that the Yodles had thicker wrists, so they had to make a compromise.
For people from other countries who make a living here, this is naturally a very enviable and shocking thing, but it is obvious that their country will not give them this kind of support, and even if it does, it may not be useful.
.
When Noxus invaded the Shurima continent, Piltover, which was able to collect "tolls" and was extremely painful to the Noxians, was actually not that easy to handle.
Otherwise, those belligerent Noxians would have started to remove this nail. How could Piltover be able to secure its position in such an important strategic location without any strength?
"Victor! I'm here!"
Jess Tallis walked through the crowd and finally found Victor leaning helplessly against the wall in the corner of the school entrance.
There were really too many people here today, and the whole block was crowded with people watching the excitement, including Zaun people, Mrs. Piltover, and residents from all over the lower urban area. After all, "Bandle City Science and Technology
The "Progress Academy Branch" does not only admit students with registered residence in Zaun and Piltover. These non-residents who "reside" in Piltover and Zaun can also send their children to school.
"There are too many people, I can't get in at all."
After seeing Jace Tallis, the helpless Victor breathed a sigh of relief and showed a helpless smile. Even if he didn't have a limp in his thin body, it would be difficult for him to move forward among the chaotic crowd.
.
"I'll take you in."
Jess Tallis is different from Victor. Although the two are similar in age, Jess Tallis is much stronger than Victor. Although Mr. Tallis has no intention of letting his son take over from him, just in case.
In case, in order to prevent his son from starving to death in the future, he has been cultivating his son's ability to "forge hammers".
As a scientist, there is a reason why Jess Tallis will be able to dance "Mercury's Hammer" very well in the future. This is the foundation he has laid since childhood.
"Thanks."
Seeing Jace easily pushing through the crowd to open a path, a trace of imperceptible envy flashed in Victor's eyes. If he could, of course he would want to be as strong as Jace, but that was obviously impossible.
Jess took Victor and rushed all the way into the "Bander City Academy of Science and Progress Branch". Well, because Victor was "lagging behind", he definitely didn't rush very fast.
And this also caused Jess to expend more effort to push passers-by away. He had no choice but to expect the passers-by around him to move out of the way with quality. Obviously, he was thinking too much.
"Thank you, Jace."
Seeing the tired and panting Jace, Victor embarrassedly thanked him again, but Jace just waved his hand.
"You're welcome, we are friends, aren't we?"
Jace smiled and patted Victor on the shoulder. He liked this classmate from Zaun very much. He was one of the few peers who could connect with him on the radio. Unlike those naive children, Victor could understand his thoughts.
.
The two of them hit it off and were always able to reach an agreement. Although they had not known each other for a long time, they had already established a friendship during the few days they followed Professor Heimerdinger.
"Yes, we are friends."
When it comes to the word "friend", Victor obviously has more feelings, because he lacks this kind of feeling more than Jace. If I have to say it, Jace is probably his first friend, even if their life circumstances are different
Not the same.
"Let's go, the professor is still waiting for us. I heard that Master Reed will also come today. I have been curious about him for a long time!"
Jess was very excited because Master Reed would attend the opening ceremony.
