Of course, Ke Wen would not personally intervene in a war or anything like that.
Otherwise, wouldn't he have spent the past five years cultivating Wei He in vain?
Judging from the current strength of those two girls, as long as they are no longer restricted and can use their full abilities, Pi City's current level of weapons will not pose a threat to those two little girls at all.
Therefore, in the face of Heimerdinger's constant questioning, Coven just smiled and prevaricated, without giving any specific solution to the war, only ensuring that there would not be too many casualties.
Heimerdinger couldn't keep asking, so he had to change the topic to Hex Technology.
Next, Kewen explained the structures of several rune combinations to Heimerdinger and Victor, which was an eye-opener for them.
It was getting late outside the eyelids, so Coven said goodbye.
He entrusted the task of designing the large-scale 'Hexfly Gate' to Heimerdinger and Victor, and asked Victor to stay in the upper city to complete the structure and design drawings of the building first.
On the way to send Ke Wen out of the academy, Victor patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, sir! I will complete the work you asked as soon as possible! I will design the sketch first, and then go to the coast of Dicheng to check the geology in person.
Find the location to build the flying gate!"
"No need to work too hard."
Ke Wen turned his head and looked at Victor's body.
Then he smiled and warned: "Your body has left behind the root of the disease when you were in the city. Not only your right leg, but your internal organs can't withstand any more wear and tear, so take your time."
"It's okay sir!"
Victor's eyes were full of realization: "As long as I can completely change Zu An's dream! I'm not afraid of death!"
"Not that much."
Kewen smiled and waved his hand: "Since you work for me, of course I will also be responsible for your health. There is no condition now. When I go back, I will study various herbal medicines in depth, and then prepare some therapeutic medicine for you. As for you
legs..."
Kewen thought for a while and said: "There are two ways to solve it."
"My legs?!" Victor was extremely excited!
He squeezed the crutch in his hand tightly and asked with a trembling tone: "Sir?! Is my leg still healed?!"
"certainly."
Ke Wen responded with a relaxed expression: "One way is to use Hex technology to make you an auxiliary Hex prosthesis. This is the fastest way to achieve results."
"And the alternative is normal treatment."
He raised his hand to stop Victor's interruption, and continued: "I know what you are going to say. The hospital in Piltover can't cure it, but it doesn't mean that I can't cure it either."
"That's right! You are a magician!" Victor suddenly realized.
But Ke Wen chuckled and shook his head: "This has nothing to do with magic, it's just normal medical skills. Blood vessels and hamstrings are atrophied, and muscles are necrotic, right?"
"Yes! That's right!" Victor nodded excitedly.
"It can be cured." Ke Wen gave hope: "With an operation and alchemy medicine, it is not difficult to treat your right leg, but it will take a long time to heal."
He made a prediction and told the result: "It takes about three months of muscle regeneration, plus three months of exercise, and then you can get a complete right leg."
"This!! I..."
Victor was so excited that he couldn't speak, and in the end he could only keep thanking him.
Ke Wen waved his hand and said it was nothing.
After walking out of the college gate, he stopped and warned again: "Remember, I don't pursue speed, so don't rush the design work. Work slowly and carefully. You must first pay attention to taking good care of your body."
"Yes! I remember sir!"
Victor bowed to Coven, but his balance was a little unstable because of his right leg.
Ke Wen raised his hand to stop him and helped Victor up.
Then he patted the other party on the shoulder: "If you encounter any problems, remember to go to Heimerdinger for help. Don't go into trouble alone. Okay, you can go back. I will come back to you in a few days when the war is over."
"No problem sir?"
Victor looked worried: "War..."
Before Victor could finish speaking, Ke Wen smiled and pointed to the other person's crutches.
Victor reflexively grasped the crutch that almost flew away, and then suddenly scratched his head in shame: "I almost forgot, sir, you are not an ordinary person."
Ke Wen smiled, waved his hand and turned around to leave.
He did not return directly to the dark alley, but went in the direction of the hospital.
When he was in the laboratory, Victor reminded him.
After the "Hex Flying Gate" is built in the future, Shangcheng will steal technology or even research and imitate it.
Coven wants to avoid this and prevent the Black Alley and Piltover from fighting around the 'Hexfly Gate' all day long in the future.
That is not conducive to development.
No matter how convenient the Hex Flying Gate is, no one likes to be involved in an explosion or battle at any time.
If this problem cannot be solved, the plan to rely on the "Hexfly Gate" to earn start-up funds may be in vain.
So Corwin had to pay attention to Jace Tallis again.
In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at Piltover's Central Hospital, and after some inquiring, he got the location of Jess Tallis's ward.
Taking the elevator to the fourth floor, Kewen found the room number of the ward.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A feeble voice came from the room.
Ke Wen turned the handle, pushed open the door, and walked directly in.
"you are……"
Jess Tallis was half leaning on the hospital bed, his legs were fixed in the air by metal hangers, and his left arm and chest were covered with bandages.
Coven did not answer immediately.
He walked to the hospital bed, looked down at the other person, and asked knowingly: "Jace Tallis?"
"It's me, sir, are you...?"
"Kevin Quinn."
"Hello Mr. Quinn, what do you want from me?"
“Let’s talk about technical plagiarism.”
“Technical plagiarism?!”
Jess Tallis couldn't help being stunned. He asked incomprehensibly: "Sorry sir, I didn't understand what you meant. What do you mean by technical plagiarism?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I mean er... the magic crystal."
Coven almost said the word "Hex". If he had said it, it would be impossible to tell who had plagiarized whom.
After changing his words in time, Coven took out a perfect version of the crystal from his pocket and handed it to Jess Tallis for a look.
As expected, Jess Tallis was suddenly stunned on the spot!
"This is! This is...?"
He stared at the round, perfect crystal for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Ke Wen in shock.
He raised his voice like a scream, not even caring about the severe pain in his chest. "This is my Hex Crystal?!"
Trying hard to stand up but failing, Jess Tallis could only lie on the bed and ask Coven anxiously: "What's going on?! Why do you have this?! My skills
Should...should..."
Having said this, Jess Tallis suddenly became speechless.
The unbearable blow made him a little dizzy.
Jess Tallis asked desperately: "Plagiarism...it turns out that this technology has appeared a long time ago, right...?"
"Yes."
Ke Wen nodded lightly: "I noticed the energy at the time of the explosion, but in the next few days I got stuck on some trivial matters, so I only took the time to come see you today."
"So...what do you want to say?"
Jess Tallis covered his face with his good right hand.
He murmured in a low voice, dull and helpless: "As you can see, I was ruined by half-finished products, but..."
Jess Tallis put down his hand and stared at Coven with extremely stubborn eyes to emphasize: "Sir! I swear! I definitely did not plagiarize your technology! I didn't know that this technology had already appeared! I just saw it because I had seen it before.
Magic! That’s why I developed this semi-finished technology from scratch! I really didn’t draw on any relevant knowledge!!”
"calm."
Ke Wen comforted him softly and nodded slowly: "Yes, I believe you."
"Really?!" Jess Tallis looked expectantly.
"Um."
Ke Wen responded, pulled over the chair and sat down.
He then explained: "There are only two places in the world that have the means to make and use them."
Kewen gestured to the crystal in his hand.
Without waiting for Jess Talis to ask questions, he continued: "One place is the Philos family, the real rulers of Piltover, and the other place is mine."
"Fellows family?"
Jess Tallis was at a loss.
He ignored the word 'real ruler' and focused all his attention on the crystal.
He said blankly: "But... I have never heard that that family has Hex technology."
"Hex?"
Ke Wen smiled and changed the topic slightly: "I have always called them magic crystals, but the name Hex is a good one. From now on, it will be mine, okay?"
Jess Tallis opened his mouth, but finally sighed. He said nothing, which was tantamount to acquiescing.
Ke Wen smiled and then raised the fingertips of his right hand.
A half-meter-square illusion emerged from the air, and Kewen played a video of the Furima Empire.
In the video, Jess Tallis saw a scene of humans digging in the desert.
He saw humans digging out huge and ferocious scorpion life forms from beneath the deep gravel.
I also saw humans breaking open the carapace and flesh of the scorpions and taking out the Hex Crystals from their bodies.
This made Jess Tallis' eyes widen.
Before he could take a closer look, Ke Wen flicked his fingertips to make the illusion disappear.
"This! That...this..."
Jess Tallis couldn't organize the words well and didn't know where to start asking for a while.
Coven knows what the other person is thinking.
So he smiled: "I am a magician. That was magic just now, and what you saw is the origin of the Feros family getting the magic crystal. Oh, by the way."
He also reminded: "The Philos family calls the crystal taken from the body of the scorpion the 'primordial crystal'."
"So this Hex Crystal was born from the body of that scorpion?"
Jess Tallis searched for the truth, but immediately returned to depression: "Forget it..."
He shook his head and sighed: "No matter what the essence is, it has nothing to do with me..."
"I think it's best for you to continue listening."
Ke Wen rolled the crystal back and forth between his fingers as if he were playing with a glass ball.
At the same time, he continued to explain: "The Hex Crystal cannot be compared with the original crystal, because the original crystal contains more than just magic, more than one kind of magic. It also contains the inheritance of knowledge, and the Hex Crystal..."
Coven held the crystal between two fingers.
After showing it in front of Jess Tallis, he said: "There can only be one kind of magic in the Hex Crystal."
"The original crystal obtained by the Philos family has been consumed."
"Further searches were stopped by the resurrected 'Crystal Pioneer' of the Shell Tribe, that kind of giant scorpion."
"So the Fellowes started working on counterfeit products."
Pointing in the direction of the lower city, Coven said: "The Philos family has set up several hidden factories in the lower city, where they secretly manufacture artificial crystals that do not contain magic and can only be used as energy sources through chemical synthesis.
"
"As for where the factories are located? It just depends on which factory emits the most pollutants."
"anyway."
Ke Wen once again showed the crystal in his hand: "So, the crystals of the Philos family are different from the crystals you want to make. The final result of your idea is mine, which can be stored in it and used to use magic.
of crystal.”
"Do you understand?" Ke Wen stopped explaining and asked.
Jess Tallis nodded: "I understand, sir, thank you for your explanation."
"Um."
Kewen put the crystal into his pocket, then smiled and said: "Then let's talk about what happened between us."
"Do you want to be held accountable?" Jess Tallis said depressedly: "Although I did not plagiarize anything, my research ideas have already been completed. If I let the parliament judge, I will still be punished for plagiarism."
He looked at Ke Wen and gave a wry smile: "Okay sir, if you think there is anything on my body that can compensate me, then go ahead and ask the parliament for arbitration."
"No." Ke Wen smiled and shook his head: "I don't intend to pursue it, and I really appreciate your idea, so I have another way of compensation. Do you want to hear it?"
Jess Tallis was slightly stunned, but also became interested: "Please tell me."
"Let's rest quietly first."
Ke Wen pointed in the direction of the college: "After you are discharged from the hospital, go to the college to find Assistant Professor Victor. He will tell you what to do."
"If you agree and assist Victor as a teaching assistant, I can give you access to further research on this technology."
"Promise what?!"
Jess Tallis immediately asked.
Hex technology has been his passion since childhood, and of course Jess Tallis is not willing to give up just yet.
Now that he had the hope of continuing his research, of course he had to seize the opportunity immediately.
Kewen did not elaborate on this.
It was already past dinner time, and there were still so many things to do at home, so Kewen didn't plan to stay in the city to waste time.
So he just asked Jace Tallis to find Victor to find out on his own after he was discharged from the hospital.
After saying a few more polite words to comfort the patient, Kewen stood up and left.
At this point, he had finally mastered the still immature Jess Tallis.
He easily deceived Jace Tallis into his own camp...
