Chapter Eighty-Eight: Rhodes Who Lost His Eyes
Rod's cloak was big enough - big enough to take Orianna to a meeting at the Fester Academy, as it would have been enough to blend through the entrance to the lab.
Orianna, who stepped out of her cloak and sat next to Rod, was very nervous.
This is not the party you should be attending!
Orianna is a little girl with little experience and panics when she encounters things, but that doesn't mean she's a brainless Delevingne......
When Rod found his place and sat down, Orianna had already reacted completely - she had been deceived by this unknown figure.
Rhodes managed to take advantage of Oriana's apology and dragged the innocent little girl into troubled waters without hesitation, which Rod was a little embarrassed about - but who made Oriana's father too famous?
The Liwick family is one of the few families that has broken through the knowledge blockade of the Piltover students!
(In a sense, these independent Hex inventors were Piltover's opposition party, and they somewhat restrained the academics from being too unscrupulous.) οΌ
Poor Oriana, although she realizes that she has been tricked into getting on a thief ship, there is no way to get off the ship - can Orianna get up and leave now?
Soon, the meeting of the Feister Institute officially began.
Then, the first guy to step onto the podium directly left Rod stunned.
When the moderator of the conference announced the speech of the founder of the Feist Institute, there stood a guy that Rod could never have dreamed of.
Luxuriant.
That's right, it's that Wei, the former boss of the Iron Fist Gang; In Jinx's opinion, the one with an IQ of no more than 9; The object of Ike's great contempt, Leather City Sheriff Vi.
Seeing Wei on the podium, a sense of absurdity arose in Rod's heart.
You must know that as Piltover's man of the hour, Wei appeared in Rod's field of vision very early, and Rhodes also knows a lot about Wei - for example, today he violently extorted a confession, and tomorrow he caused property damage in the process of arrest......
The list goes on and on.
It would be unfair to call Vi stupid - after all, during interrogations, Vi can occasionally come up with a little trick in a flash of inspiration - but in Rhodes' opinion, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wei is stunned.
This is a man whose fists are faster than his brains.
But now, Wei stood on the podium and was actually the founder of the Feister Academy, and this huge contrast made Rod instantly stunned.
It seems that this matter needs to be reorganized.
And by Rod's side, Orianna saw that Vi's performance was completely different from Rod's.
The founder of this Feister Institute is Vi!
Don't look at Orianna quietly, but she still has a good impression of Wei!
In Oriana's opinion, although Vi is reckless, her essence is kind - since this gentleman is a member of Vi Founding's organization, he should also be a good person, right?
Thanks to Vi's appearance, Oriana's senses for Rhodes have improved a lot.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
While Rod and Oriana were silently thinking, Vi was already giving her impassioned speech on stage.
"Our hometown of Zaun is facing a huge change, and we need to do our best to help Zaun at this critical time!"
"It is foreseeable that Zu'an will usher in a new tomorrow, and we as Zu'an people have an unshirkable responsibility to help our homeland."
"Now that Zaun is short of food, and the embargo of Piltover has made the Zaun people hungry all day long, I hope that our students from the Feist Society will use their wisdom to raise enough food for Zaun - we have a small strength, but we can save one by one."
"In this difficult time, we are with Zuan!"
ββ¦β¦β
The speech wasn't brilliant β even a little lame β but Rod's view of Vi changed completely.
Previously, for some reason, Rhodes did not tell Wei about his plan.
Rod didn't take the initiative to mention Wei because he didn't like Wei very much beforeβon the one hand, because Rod didn't like reckless people; On the other hand, Ike's description of Vi is even more disgusting to Rhodes (banana people are always the most annoying).
And Catherine didn't bring Wei in because she was protecting her partner, after all, in a sense, the conspiracy between the two people is actually subversive.
But when Zu'an underwent great changes, Wei has been helping Zu'an with his own strength.
Rhodes remembered Victor's previous descriptions of the Fest Society.
Free financial support for international students in Zu'an, introduction of internship opportunities, contact with the police in Picheng, and fund-raising for Zu'an......
Wei who took off his gloves seemed a little shy when he stood on the stage, although in the face of the written script, the speech was not wonderful at all, but in Rod's opinion, this was already precious.
"Zaun's past is chaotic, and I was a part of it."
"In Zaun, I used to think that my fist was the truth β but the reality told me that my fist alone could not solve everything."
"So I came to Piltover and came here to be the magistrate of Pietover, and I wanted to know why Picheng was so orderly and rich, while Zaun was so chaotic and so poor."
"Later I found out that Pichengkees are arrogant, but they do have qualities that we need to learn from β we lack their self-discipline and prudence, and that's where we need to learn, where we need to improve."
"You're the geniuses of Zaun, and you've come to learn the latest Hextech; I only have an iron fist, but I hope that when I return to Zaun, I will be able to bring Zaun the order of Piltover. β
"I really hope that one day I can proudly say that Picheng is not heaven, Zuan is not hell, I am a Zuan person, I have a beautiful, safe and happy hometown!"
After Vi's speech, the applause of the Feist Institute students lasted for a long time, and even Orianna began to applaud around Rod.
And Wei was like an excited child, her face was red on the stage, and she bowed repeatedly, and she couldn't see the posture of the eldest sister at all.
Looking at Wei on the podium, Rhodes also slowly smiled.
This is the people of Zu'anβthere are those who are as hard as Ike, those who are humble as Wei who seek advice, and those who are silently guarded like Cana.
Together, these people make up the most beautiful scenery of Zaun.
ββββββββ
There is some foreshadowing ahead of Wei's experience.
Feist itself is a transliteration of the fist, and the fist is the symbol of Vi.
