MTL - The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities-Chapter 44 heart transplant

After saying goodbye to the two congressmen, Colin walked towards his workshop with heavy steps.

The southern part of Piltover is adjacent to the coastline and very close to Zaun. It is full of large and small workshops, and the Academy is also located here.

This area is prosperous with factories in Zaun, where artisans from Zaun and around the world process semi-finished products produced in Zaun into commodities. Once the most prosperous workshop street in Piltover is located here.

But now, it's a lot quieter here.

The relationship between Zaun and Piltover was broken. The craftsmen could not get the raw materials, and many products could not be manufactured. They had to rely on the tight inventory to survive.

Colin knew in his heart that most of the craftsmen here are from Zaun, and most of them are people who have left the dark homeland and come to the golden capital to live a good life.

Those people are hesitant and tangled the most right now, all thinking about whether to go back to their homeland.

But none of this concerned him, he was born in Piltover. I talked so much with Jace today, not only because he loves this city, but also because he hopes that he can leave something for his daughter, so that she can live a better life here.

He actually hated Zaun, not because of the mess there, but because he almost lost his most beloved daughter there.

Orianna, because of her kind heart, inhaled an unknown chemical gas during a disaster assisting Zaun, causing necrosis of her lungs.

Fortunately, he made a pair of mechanical lungs, and by chance, he completed the replacement of the lungs, which allowed Orianna to live until now.

But this also has drawbacks. Normal people rely on intact lungs to breathe, while his daughter can only rely on mechanical lungs to wind up to inhale and exhale.

In order for his daughter not to run to Zaun like last time, he specially locked the special clockwork at home.

It's time to wind up Orianna again later.

Colin walked quickly towards his workshop. Whenever he thought about his own imminent death, he would feel deeply worried about Orianna's future life.

"Welcome back!"

As soon as he entered his workshop, a female voice with little emotion came from inside the house.

"Orianna, do you have a guest today?"

He looked into the house with a somewhat surprised expression.

A noble man in pure white robe was sitting at the wooden table that welcomed the guests. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the tall and straight figure of the other party's elegant back.

This is a great nobleman.

Colin quickly made a judgment after seeing more nobles in Piltover.

Behind the nobleman, stood a female guard in a leather coat. If it weren't for the two daggers behind him, he wouldn't have recognized her as a guard. The figure, appearance, and long wine red hair are really too eye-catching.

Colin was a little strange, why did the other party come to the workshop street. The other party has healthy limbs, and it doesn't look like someone who will come to buy a prosthesis.

Although he has a lot of useful inventions, the things that nobles will buy from him are only the prosthetic limbs he is best at. They are better than real ones.

"Father, the college sent a batch of purchase orders this afternoon, and all the needs were put in the bag at the door. Please come over in person. I'll entertain this guest."

Colin was a little strange. He was keenly aware that Orianna wanted him to leave quickly. This was the first time.

He couldn't help looking towards Orianna, and what he saw made his eyes shrink.

Hex Crystals!

How could he not recognize such a dangerous and charming thing. He also met the first man to use it for the Piltover Volkswagen this afternoon.

It's just that this crystal is a bit strange. It's not the common polyhedron gemstone structure, it's more like a glass ball.

"Okay, which professor in the academy wants it?"

Colin glanced at it and stopped paying attention, putting his hand on the cart with the paper bag on it.

Orianna's deal could not be negotiated.

He really wanted hex crystals, but even if the workshop street was as prosperous as before, they couldn't afford a hex crystal if they didn't eat or drink for 5 years.

"Professor Heimerdinger, the academy needs a batch of weapon test dolls." Orianna replied softly.

"Hey, does Professor Heimerdinger support the war?" Colin muttered to himself and pulled the cart out again.

After Colin left, Orianna's eyes turned back to the front, her delicate face was apologetic:

"Sorry, Mr. Ryan. I think we can continue talking. I need this hex crystal very much. If you are willing to let me pay in installments, I can take our workshop as collateral."

Ryan sat in front of Orianna with a warm smile on his lips:

"As far as I know, Miss Orianna spreads the news of buying hex gemstones everywhere, and very few people know about hex gemstones."

Hex gemstones are different from hex crystals. The crystals are the original crystals that were naturally born by the shell people, while the gems are a stable source of energy artificially created by Jace and Victor.

His gaze swept across Orianna's chest inadvertently, and he could perceive that it was not flesh and blood, but a pile of mechanical tissue.

It's really interesting, apart from Camille, Piltover actually walked ahead of Victor.

Thinking of the way Victor took the machine ascension, Ryan couldn't help but be very interested in the girl in front of him.

He occasionally learned that a craftsman in Piltover was looking for hex gemstones, and he happened to be there out of curiosity, and he didn't expect it to be unexpected.

"Mr. Ryan...I have a reason I have to need it..."

Orianna's expression darkened and she told the truth:

"My father's heart is not good, and he will live for at most 2 months. I haven't had time to repay his love for me. I heard that Senator Camille had undergone a heart surgery with augmentation technology."

"I don't seem to have any reason to reject you, but what can you bring me?" Ryan asked in time.

He did not intend to reject the other party. If the other party really had the ability to perform augmentation technology surgery, he would be happy to recruit a scientist with outstanding potential for the empire.

"money..."

Orianna pursed her lips, knowing that she couldn't get the money, which made her a little discouraged.

The most desperate thing is not that there is no hope from the beginning.

Instead, she hoped that she had been placed in front of her, but she had no ability to touch it.

Her eyes saw Katerina standing behind Ryan, and an idea suddenly popped up in her heart, with a gleam of hope in her eyes:

"As long as I can save my father, I am willing to be a slave and a servant."

Hearing Orianna's speech like a drowning man, Ryan couldn't help laughing, neither rejecting nor agreeing:

"Can I ask how you plan to transplant the heart? I can see that Mr. Li Weck can't withstand the energy shock released by the hex gemstone when the heart is replaced. I have always believed in equivalent exchange. If you have the ability to deal with Mr. Li Weck's trouble, then For me it's more than a gem."

"Mr. Ryan, you have a high opinion of me." Orianna said bitterly, "I have no solution, I thought about making a mechanical carrier for hex crystals, so that its energy is not violent, so as to make hex gems ~www.novelbuddy.com~ But it takes a lot of time for them to interact with each other, I can't wait, it will take at least 1 or 2 years."

With pain in her eyes, she pointed to the device buried in a pile of prosthetic limbs not far away.

Ryan turned his head, frowned slightly, with surprise in his eyes.

He could see at a glance that the metal-wrapped mechanical ball could already be called the prototype of a Hex weapon. If you put a Hex Gem in it, you can instantly create a Hex weapon.

However, Orianna seems to want to use it to convert the crystal into a stable gem, and for this function, the mechanical ball can only be regarded as a rough semi-finished product.

But even so, Orianna is definitely a genius no less than Victor and Jace in his eyes.

"The genius design, it's just fate playing a joke on you." Ryan shook his head with a sigh, "I'm a little curious, if I gave you the gem, how would you complete the heart transplant operation, even if it was a softer sea Even ordinary people may not be able to bear the gems.”

Camille is a miracle created by integrating the core technology of the entire Picheng.

He doesn't think that the other party can get the Philos family's technology, but he also doesn't think that the other party has no backing hands. Judging from Orianna's recent frantic desire to get the Hex Stone, she must have been well prepared.

"Mr. Ryan... I know you are a mage with outstanding strength and vision... I would like to hear your opinion"

"Tell me what you think."

Ryan had interest in his eyes, expecting the other party to bring him some surprises.

Orianna suddenly raised her head, her unwavering eyes a little more determined:

"If it's just an ordinary heart, can my father survive after the heart transplant operation..."
