Camille?

Chapter 33 Elegant, Timeless

After getting the original crystal shards, Jess went back, leaving only a letter from the Philos family or Camille.

The Philos family, one of the most prominent families in Piltover.

The original crystals were discovered by the Philos family, and the earliest batch of Hextech crystals also came from them.

Regardless of wealth or status, the Philos family is one of the best in Piltover.

A well-deserved giant.

And the person in charge of the Philos family is the everlasting youthful strong woman - Camille.

Ever since Camille was betrayed by her younger brother Stevan, she has installed her favorite grand-niece as the new head of the family, and she has actually mastered the family's public affairs and secret operations at the same time.

It can be said that Camille's power is even greater than that of most senior officials in Piltover.

Mu Bai was greatly surprised to receive her letter at this moment.

Also puzzled was Caitlin.

"A letter from the Philos family? Do they have anything to do?" She looked at the exquisite and beautiful letter in Mu Bai's hand and asked.

The latter opened the envelope and took out a card with the seal of the Philos family engraved on it.

There was nothing on the card, only two standard Mandarin sentences and an address.

"To be precise, it should not be called a letter, but an invitation letter." Mu Bai raised the card so that the two girls could see it clearly.

"Invite you to be an agent of the Philos family?" Kaitlyn frowned slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Camille's digging.

Wei also felt the same way, after all, Mu Bai is still a police officer, so boldly prying the corner of the wall is simply a contempt for the security of Picheng.

But the two girls thought about it again, and the guards in Picheng had their own ghosts. Indeed... it is not wrong to be despised.

"Your reputation is really great now." Caitlin leaned forward and read the invitation again carefully. "Even the famous Philos family wants to poach you."

"Maybe." Mu Bai smiled, and patted the beautiful buttocks close to his hand.

"Don't move around... Wei is still there..." The girl whispered coquettishly, blushing up to her ears.

Wei didn't change on the surface, pretending not to know anything, but secretly lamented that her best friend had completely changed.

It's still like this when someone is around, but if the two of them are alone... Sigh.

"What are your plans?" Caitlin blushed and sat back in her seat. "Would you like to take a look?"

"Go. The Philos family sent an invitation at this time, maybe they know some information about the code name C." Mu Bai said.

In fact, there is one more thing he didn't say - even if this invitation has nothing to do with Code C, it is still necessary for him to go.

As long as he is a hero, it is necessary for him to get to know each other so that it will be easier to win him over later.

Camille's unsolicited invitation provided a good opportunity, and there was no reason to refuse it due to emotion and reason.

As for joining the Philos family... it's actually not bad, at least it can get rid of the surveillance of the ghosts in Piltover's guards.

"Well, you have the final say." Caitlin nodded slightly, "I won't accompany you this time, after all, no one invited me."

"Huh? Then you..."

"Don't worry about me, I'm not a child... Don't forget, I'm Sergeant Caitlin, known as the Messenger of Peace."

The girl patted the Hex rifle in her hand, as if to prove that she was capable enough to protect herself.

"Besides, isn't Wei here?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Mubai. I will ensure Caitlin's safety." Wei immediately echoed.

Hearing this, Mu Bai was immediately relieved.The days of being shameless and shameless have passed for a long time, and I almost forgot that this girl also has two brushes, and she doesn't need others to protect her at all.

Perhaps she wants trust more than meticulous care.

"Okay." Mu Bai smiled and rubbed Caitlin's head, this time the latter did not resist.

"Then when do you plan to go?" Caitlin's voice was no longer cold, only soft.

"tomorrow."

..............................

On the other side of Piltover, in the Ferros family mansion.

A velvety silhouette of a gray-haired woman sits at the table.

Her hips exude a mysterious blue light, and the dancing light reflects her slender waist and a pair of inhuman long legs.

A valuable porcelain pot was placed on the table, and a few wisps of steam rose from the pot, filling the surrounding air with the aroma of tea.

"Are you leaving for Zaun again soon?" asked another middle-aged woman across the table.Her tone was full of respect, and she never dared to cast her eyes when she spoke.

Even if she is the head of the Philos family.

Because she knew very well who she could take the seat on—the gray-haired woman sipping tea across the table.

Camille, the elder sister of the former head of the family and the chief spy of the Philos family.

"Yes, my lovely grandniece." Camille let out a breath, then sipped tea with a calm expression.

"I will take care of the family affairs for you." The head of the family bowed, his movements were elegant, but a little stiff.

Not because of nervousness, but because she is a little older.

Not everyone is able to stay young forever.

She was Camille's grandniece, but she looked like Camille's mother or aunt.

"Excuse me, how should I arrange for the agent you newly invited?" she asked again.

Camille thought for a while, then stood up suddenly, there was a sound of metal rubbing on the floor, and the two knives that replaced her legs supported her soft body.

"Test, if he passes the test, bring him here, if he fails, he will be accepted as an ordinary detective."

The door opened and closed, the hot tea in the teapot had not yet cooled down, and the wisps of steam wafting up looked like dancing elves to the middle-aged woman.

How elegant.

Chapter 34 Silver Wheel

Early the next morning, Mu Bai came to the residence of the Philos family according to the address on the invitation letter.

It has to be said that the heritage of the Philos family is indeed very profound - the manor has been renovated like a castle and palace, and every brick and tile reveals the breath of money.

If Caitlin is compared to the little rich woman in the town, then Camille is truly the richest man in the city, not in the same order of magnitude at all.

Mubai looked at the suit that Caitlin had tailored for him, and smelled a hint of poverty.

Black half-top hat, dark brown coat, high-top leather boots... If you add a pair of monocles, it looks like a high-quality European gentleman in the eighteenth century.

But even so, in front of the Philos family's mansion, it still feels like it's not on the stage.

"Money is something outside of the body... Unrighteousness and richness are like floating clouds to me..."

Mu Bai comforted himself a few words, and walked into the manor with his head held high.

After showing the invitation letter, the maids and housekeepers in the manor all behaved very politely, even a little servile.

After all, he was personally invited by the head of the family, and the fool knew what to do.

Not long after, Mu Bai met the current Patriarch of the Philos family under the guidance of the maid.

"Hello, Mr. Mubai." Without the arrogance and arrogance as imagined, the middle-aged woman in front of her spoke and behaved very elegantly and politely.

"I am very glad that you can attend the appointment." She stood up and bowed, and then gestured for him to sit down. "I am the Patriarch of the Feiros family, Sally Feiros."

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Sally." Mu Bai returned a salute and sat down slowly.

Several maids immediately got busy, some were in charge of serving snacks, some were in charge of pouring tea, their movements were quick and not flustered, on the contrary, they had a sense of calmness and elegance.

Yes, elegant.Everyone in the Philos family upholds this philosophy, no matter what they do, they must be graceful enough—even to meet sacrifice or death.

Sally waited quietly until the maids had finished what they were supposed to do, then she turned to Mubai and opened her lips:

"I think you have already made up your mind. Would you like to join us, join the Philos family, and become an honorable detective?"

"If it's possible..." Mu Bai stroked the brim of his hat lightly, making his words sound more serious, "I want to know if you can give me what I want."

"Status, silver wheel, intelligence, which one do you want?" Sally asked.

status?Mubai thought to himself, this thing is useless, anyway, I can't stay here for long.

As for the silver wheel?Forget it, Kaitlyn isn't short on pennies either.

Golden Wheel is almost...

"Information." Mu Bai looked straight into the other person's eyes, "About Code C and the information I may need in the future. If you are willing to provide these, I am very happy to work for you."

If the Philos family can really provide this, it would not be bad to give them a part-time job.

There must be a ghost in Picheng's guards, but if you want to find and make friends with the heroes scattered in Picheng and Zaun, you must have a suitable force as a support point.

"Code C..." Sally murmured the familiar name, remembering what Camille had told her, and the hesitation flashed in her eyes.

"No problem, I can meet your conditions."

"Thank you so much." Mu Bai stood up, put his right hand on his left chest and bowed slightly.

So far, the cooperation discussion is over.

It seemed very brief and without hesitation, but in fact both parties made their choices after careful consideration.

Sally turned her head to look at the back of the hall, and waved her arms lightly.Soon, a sturdy bearded man dressed as a housekeeper stepped forward.

"Dear Mr. Mubai, in order to better understand you and help you adapt to your new identity as soon as possible, I would like to use some simple tests to collect your physical data. What do you think?"

Sally turned her head back again, and looked at Mu Bai with beseeching eyes, her tone was very polite:

"The test is not dangerous, and it won't take too much of your time."

"No problem, this is what it should be." Mu Bai agreed without hesitation.

This is of the same nature as the company's recruitment. The salary depends on the applicant's ability, and the resume must have an interview.

The reputation spread outside is equivalent to a resume, and the current test is the most important interview stage.

Resumes can be faked, and reputations can also be faked.

"Thank you for understanding." Sally nodded slightly, and then gave an order to the extraordinary butler: "Take Mr. Mubai for the test, don't neglect."

"Yes."

…………

Ten minutes later, Mu Bai followed the housekeeper to the Feiros family training ground.

Like all the buildings I have seen before, the training ground is spacious and magnificent, consisting of a vast horse field and several different training rooms.

The butler glanced at the hilt of the sword at Mu Bai's waist, and asked, "Mr. Mu Bai's usual weapon is a sword, right?"

"Ah."

"Then, the test is conducted in four aspects: sword skills, agility, strength and responsiveness, is that okay?"

"no problem."

"Okay." The butler bowed slightly, and at the same time stretched out his right arm, pointing to a training room on the right with his white glove. "Please move to the training room for the test, and then continue walking inside after it's over."

"Well, thank you."

Mu Bai returned a hat-off ceremony, and then strode into the training room.

Thanks to the rows of exquisite and expensive chandeliers on the ceiling, the light inside is still bright.On both sides of the aisle are pieces of frosted glass made of lenses of various colors, and the blurred panes shine brightly, which is somewhat eerie by the arc lights outside.

The combination of science and technology and simple fantasy... Mu Bai thinks that this training room should be a special training room for swordsmanship or assassination. The structure is as simple as possible, but it also reveals the flavor of steampunk.

At the end of the corridor is a dojo-like space, with an iron door as a partition, and training rules are posted on the wall next to it.

After seeing the small characters on it, Mu Bai unconsciously frowned.

Although the system has given him the ability to master the common language of Runeterra, it is still somewhat difficult to read long texts, especially articles with technical terms...

"Mechanical stakes, slashing points, timing, statistics, up to [-]... There is also a powder bomb harassment..."
