Chapter 135 Ultimatum
"You actually know this."

Roy was surprised, because her great-grandfather had passed away for more than ten years.At that time, the Philos family was not as famous as it is now, and Zell was just a little boy.

"I also know that he is a very cunning person, so did he set these rules?" Zell asked.

Roy nodded: "What? Do you still want to find a dead man to reason with?"

"No." He shook his head in denial, and then fell into deep thought.

Roy shook the cup and continued, "I'm sorry, I haven't talked about why I came to work in the store after talking so much. In fact, it's just because I like keeping pets."

"When I was very young, my father was recommended by the family as the spokesperson because of his outstanding business acumen. Because he was busy with various business activities, my father often had no time to accompany me, so he bought me a pet as a companion because he was afraid that I would be lonely. .”

"I am very happy to have a puppy, and I am taking care of it very carefully. I name it, weave clothes for it, tell it stories in books, and cuddle it to sleep. The puppy is always enthusiastic In response to me, I think that's when I fell in love with pets."

"As for why I didn't bring my pet home, it was because one day when I came back from training, I found that the puppy wasn't waiting for me at the door as usual. I cried and looked for it all night, but was told in the end that it was to make me focus. Training, it's already been disposed of."

"I passed out from grief, but was pulled up for training the next day. Since then, I have never wanted to bring a pet home."

"So you don't want me to send you a poro?"

Roy finally turned her face to look at Zell, she nodded: "We're done talking, let's talk about resignation."

She still softened her heart, and told him so much.

In fact, as long as he is unfeeling, put down the envelope and find a reason to leave, and disappear before his eyes from now on, it's over.

Then as long as he acquiesces, it's really over.

My heart was beating painfully, and it became more and more difficult at this time.

But at this moment, Zell looked down at the cup, as if he didn't hear what she said, and murmured: "If the contribution to the family is large enough, can it be exchanged for freedom?"

"I don't know..." There was no such precedent in Roy's impression.

"What if I say I have a solution to your genetic disease?"

"..."

Under Roy's surprised gaze, he took out an exquisite small box from his close pocket.

Roy's eyes followed closely, and as he opened the lid, Roy saw a blue prosthetic eye in full bloom inside, with exquisite workmanship, not even inferior to the one on her own.

It dawned on her.

It turned out that it was for this purpose that he wanted to use the prosthetic eye that day.

"This is a gift I prepared for you, wear it," Zell said.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept it..." Roy had already decided to cut ties with Zell. From then on, he was a person in two worlds. Leaving such things would only increase his weakness.

Zell said seriously, word by word: "If you are determined to resign, please wear it and leave. In the days to come, let me be your eyes."

When I think that I can only use this prosthetic eye to watch from afar, and I can no longer step into the other party's world, my heart hurts so much that I can't breathe.

Tears burst.

Roy covered her face, weeping uncontrollably.

After crying, under Zell's repeated request, Roy still took the prosthetic eye.Zell babbled and said annoying things.

"Do you want me to help you? Your eyes are swollen. Will you not be able to put it on?"

"It's not your fault."

Roy snorted and turned around, not wanting him to see the ugly face when changing the prosthetic eye.

She didn't know how hard Zell was praying in her heart when she turned her back.

for sure!
Something must happen!
Otherwise his efforts will be in vain!

After replacing the prosthetic eye, Roy turned around and looked at a mirror first.

"How?" he asked.

"It fits well." Because it was modeled after her original prosthetic eye, there was no obvious discomfort when wearing it.

"Give me Kangkang."

"Here."

She raised her head and opened her eyes wide at Zell, her eyelashes trembling, and her expression looked a little naive.

Zell wanted to laugh at her, but now was not the time.

"Is there no other feeling?" He asked again.

Roy tried to blink a few more times to get used to it, and even felt that there was nothing there, as if it had grown there in the first place.

She was surprised and wanted to look in the mirror to see what was going on, but Zell reached out and pressed her good eye. Roy wanted to bite someone, but suddenly noticed that the vision in front of her was not completely black.

She could see a blurry figure in front of her, and as time went by, it slowly became clearer...

"Oh my god!" She covered her face, tears pouring out again.

This time, it was tears of joy.

"What's going on? Crybaby," Zell exulted, knowing his efforts had paid off.

"I can see again..." Roy stood up excitedly, leaned her upper body over the table and hugged Zell.

Crying and laughing.

……

After calming down, Roy looked at Zell with the crystal eye.

One look, another look.

Although the color tone is not the same as normal, I can indeed see it, and I can see farther and more clearly.

You can even see a pimple that is about to pop up hidden in his hairline.

It must be due to excessive anxiety recently that acne will develop in that place.

She felt a little distressed.

Turning the eyeballs will not cause a sense of obstruction.

Except that the eyes on both sides look different, the eyes no longer look dull.

Roy is very happy, but then feels lonely again.

No matter how bright her eyes are, it can't change the fact that she wants to return to the family.

The idea of ​​elopement is too selfish, Zell has a store and a family, how can she have the heart to let him give up all this for her.

Knowing that Roy had many questions, Zell began to explain the reasons to her.

"Roy, when I found out that your genetic disease was related to the original crystal, I immediately tested the original crystal. I found that only people with magical talents can use it, and it happens that only people from your Philos family can get it Crystal disease, it means that you all have magical talents, and you can directly exert the power of crystals without relying on Hex technology."

"Are you sure it's a talent, not a curse?" Roy smiled wryly.

Zell held her hand, not letting her break his rhythm.

"It just so happens that I know such a person, she can hear the voice in the crystal. I deduce from this that the original crystal is conscious, and it is the consciousness in the crystal that makes you suffer from this strange disease. If you can contact the voice in the crystal will, maybe it can help you lift the curse."

"This is the first solution."

"There is another solution, that is, you have magical talent but have never developed it, and you don't even know it exists."

"I wonder if this is the cause of the crystallization disease. You must know that the original crystal can make people stay young forever, which shows that its impact on the human body is positive. The reason for the crystallization is more likely to be When something goes wrong with a person, it is like scaling a kettle after a long period of time, and the long-term accumulation of magic power has produced crystals in the body. If you try to develop your talents, you may be able to inhibit the formation of crystals."

"Based on the first judgment, I ordered a prosthetic eye for you with the original crystal. If it stimulates your magical talent, it proves that my deduction is correct. It's just that your eyes are removed. The second It's too late to test."

"It turns out that you have done so much for me during this time..."

In fact, Roy knew about the two examples Zell gave.

The person who can hear the voice of the crystal is actually Seraphine. The Philos family investigated her a long time ago and listed her as a research object to observe her use of the original crystal.

As for the other person whose youth is eternal because of the original crystal, Roy has seen it almost every day these days.But every time she thought of that face, she felt her body tremble.

That person is the chief spy of the Philos family, the incarnation of the god enshrined by the Evolutionary Order, the Cinderella Lady that everyone fears, and the existence that stands at the pinnacle of Piltover.

"After you go back, go to the person who made the rules and explain things clearly."

Roy was awakened by Zell's words, and she wondered if the other party knew what she was thinking.

"How do you know so much about the primordial crystal?"

"I'll talk about this next time, if there is a next time."

Roy replied with a complicated expression: "For the sake of the store manager, I will talk to her, but don't expect too much. If I come tomorrow morning, it will be a success. If I don't come tomorrow, please forget... ..."

Zell made a steal, slapped the table in front of her and shouted loudly: "Then I will come to her personally!"

"You! You're courting death!" Roy was taken aback by him, and punched him directly in the chest.

Then she calmed down again, and said to him gently: "Promise me, don't do stupid things, okay?"

Zell pulled his face directly, like an angry child.

Seeing him like this, Roy pursed her lips and thought about it, before finally kissing the corner of her mouth.

……

The strong smell of tea permeated the top floor of the attic. Roy saw the woman drinking tea in a wheelchair, with a wool blanket covering her legs, holding a teacup and looking at the night sky outside the balcony.

"great grandmother……"

Roy knew she heard, but knocked on the door anyway.

"It's really strange that you would come to me on your own initiative. Tell me what's going on."

In fact, Roy's ability to resign with Zell in person today was an opportunity she begged for from the other party.

Otherwise, according to the normal process, she is already undergoing recovery training now, and Zell will only receive a letter of resignation.

Other than that, there was no audio at all.

Now Zell gave her another chance, and she had to take advantage of it.

"I... can see."

Camille turned around, and Roy tried hard to overcome her fear, raised her head and looked straight ahead, so that the other party could see her eyes.

Then she was surprised to find that she could see the energy of the crystal in the opponent's chest.

The primordial crystals seem to be calling out to each other, wanting to reconnect as one.

Camille also felt her gaze, and a thoughtful look appeared on that young face.

Taking this rare opportunity, she revealed Zell's two solutions to the crystal disease.

"Dear great-grandmother, I know that you have been burdened by your relatives and sacrificed too much for the family, and you have kept your family relationship secret since then. But now you really need to rethink the definition of family? Is it a tool to maintain your rule or a responsibility for each other? responsibility!"

After saying such outrageous words, Roy clearly saw the hairs on the back of Camille's neck standing up under the action of charging.

She closed her eyes tightly, looking like she was going to die generously.

It's just that after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Camille do anything to her, and she didn't even get up from the wheelchair that Stewan used to sit in when he was alive.

She just picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said lightly: "Piltover is a sophisticated machine that is constantly improving. However, a piece of unruly gear will threaten everything, and a part that refuses to perform its duties can destroy the whole thing." machine."

"And we're here to tinker and make sure everything fits together and runs smoothly."

She looked over, with a terrible sense of oppression: "You, you have already said the oath of a spy."

Roy's mood fell into the abyss, she gritted her teeth and said: "The family is the first, I will serve faithfully, I will not be false, and I will not hide my secrets. For this oath, I will hold nothing back, with my spirit, body, and heart."

"Since you have become a secret agent, then do your job well."

"Yes." Roy's heart was ashamed, she knew that she would never have another chance.

Sorry, Zell.

"Starting tomorrow, you will continue to lurk in the Poro Cafe and inquire about the secrets of Zell Gillamann."

Eh?
Roy wondered if she had heard wrong.

Great-grandmother actually wanted her to continue lurking in the coffee shop, wouldn't that be...

There is no difference from the original? !

OMG!

Camille took a sip of the hot tea, waved her hand, and signaled her to leave.

"Yes! Great-grandmother!" Roy suppressed her excitement, and her answer became much stronger.

After bowing deeply, she quickly exited the attic.

Camille, who stayed in the room, continued to look out the window, her eyes lingering over every glowing spiers in the city, as well as the shimmering light from the buildings of Zaun below.

She knew it.

The management plan left by Stevan is outdated, and she couldn't find a way to improve it at that time, but now there is such an opportunity, how could she not consider it.

It is no longer the same as that special period at the beginning. With the development of the times, people's concept of dedication is getting weaker and weaker.

If we continue to rely on resource monopoly and high-pressure policies to control family members... one day she will die, and without the strong suppression of the chief secret agent, the family members who have been oppressed for a long time will definitely mess with her and the Philos family that Stevan is struggling to manage Turned upside down.

However, if it is replaced by a combination of grace and power, a new treatment plan, and the development of magical talents in exchange for the loyalty and dedication of the members, the situation may be much better.

Tsk tsk, it's not easy...

If it wasn't for Zell's reminder, she wouldn't even know that Ferros has such potential.

Anyway, the final interpretation is in her hands.

Camille's hand gently stroked the leather armrest of the wheelchair.

"My dear brother, maybe the rules you left behind should be changed."
