Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 108 Seraphine's Trouble

Speaking of the Seraphine family, since Marcos helped them settle the household registration problem five years ago, the Irodan couple took Seraphine out of the bottom city, and they are currently living in the first street next to Picheng. A video store was opened on Shuguang Road of 'Star Avenue', mainly selling gramophones and various popular records, and also undertakes the repair business of various types of phonographs.

Wealth and wealth are not counted, but life can be called a "well-off family".

Thanks to Marcos for his help at the beginning, although the Irodan family rarely walks with Marcos, Xiasha will ask Irodan to give Marcos some small gifts every festival, and the relationship cannot be said to be too estranged.

It's just that Marcos hasn't seen this family in the past year, so Irodan's appearance here today made Marcos very surprised.

"I..." Irodan glanced at the few people who were following Marcus, and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just been a long time, I just have time to come and visit today."

visit?

Marcus looked at the door of the sheriff's office, and there was a piece of ground that was obviously much cleaner than other places, which meant that Ilodan had sat there for a long time, and would stand up and walk around from time to time.

After thinking about it, Marcus's heart moved, and he realized that Irodan might have some concerns when he saw other people present.

He took out the key to the sheriff's office and handed it to Wei: "The things are in the second drawer on the left of the desk, go in and get them yourself."

Wei also saw that the two had something to say, so she took the key without saying a word, and led Jinx and the others into the sheriff's room.

After Marcus and Ilodan were the only ones left on the scene, the father, whose face had already seen signs of age, said, "Can I hold you up for a while, and find a convenient place... to talk for a while?"

Seeing Ilodan's preoccupation, Marcus took a step forward: "Follow me."

Soon, he took Ilodan into the office he used when he was the deputy sheriff. The current user here is Catherine, but Catherine stayed at the Hex Technology Research Institute and asked Zavi to discuss the transformation of her Big Gun didn't come back with him, so this place became the most suitable place for two people to talk.

"Please sit down."

Marcus took off his coat with ease and hung it on a rack at the entrance, then went to pour Irodan a cup of cold tea at an unknown time.

"Thank you." Ilodan stood up halfway, holding the teacup with both hands and placing it on the coffee table in front of him.

After both of them were seated, he said hesitantly, "I'm here... mainly for Nini."

"Salephanie?" When Marcus heard this, he basically guessed in his heart the main purpose of Ilodan's coming to find him this time.

Sure enough, Ilodan went on to say: "Actually, Nini...is different from the moment she was born, she..."

It seemed that he was not sure about Marcos' attitude, and he was a little uneasy.

"What's wrong with her?" Marcus asked with concern, pretending not to know.

After several hesitation, Ilodan gritted his teeth and said, "She knows magic and can hear voices that others cannot hear!"

Like ordinary people in Shuangcheng, the word "magic" is taboo in Irodan's heart, and he dare not even mention it.

But this time it was his daughter who possessed the magical ability, and let him know that the so-called 'magic' that had been talked about before was actually not as dangerous as Piltover advertised.

"Oh, and then?" Marcus calmly waited for the next sentence, as if he wasn't surprised at all.

"I mean, Nini knows magic." Ilodan thought that Marcus hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated it again and deliberately put the emphasis on the word magic.

"I know, you just said it." Marcus asked again: "And then?"

Marcus's calm performance made Ilodan feel even more depressed: "Aren't you surprised, repelled, and disgusted?"

"Why should I..." Marcus suddenly came to his senses, and asked Irodan, "Did you not join in the fun at the completion ceremony of the Hexfly Gate in Piltover two days ago?"

"What ceremony?" Now it was Ilodan's turn to be confused: "Our family took Nini away from Picheng last year to find a solution to her magical ability. I just came back yesterday, so what you said... Ceremony, I don't know.

Your promotion to sheriff was told to me when I came in to find you just now, and I didn't even have time to congratulate you. "

Irodan originally thought about asking Xia Sha to prepare a gift after going back today, and then visit Marcos again to formally express his promotion to the position of sheriff.

"That's no wonder."

Marcus nodded amusedly: "Let me introduce you again, now in front of you is Chief Sheriff Marcus of the Piltover Law Enforcement Bureau, and I am also one of the founders of HexTech.

By the way, hextech is a new discovery that combines magic and technology, so do you think I'm against magic? "

"A combination of technology... and the power of magic?!" Ilodan was dumbfounded: "Could you be talking about the building that started construction five years ago?"

"That's the Hexgate." Marcus was curious: "It's been such a long time, and you haven't learned about that building?"

"I usually want to visit the store, but Xia Sha has visited it a few times and heard her mention it." Irodan recalled: "Oh, yes, she told me that she saw you on the construction site before. I thought you were sent by the Law Enforcement Bureau to guard the construction site, so I didn't bother you."

"Your news is too late." Marcus said with a light smile: "If there is such news again in the future, remember to ask more. I feel very frustrated by your appearance. There are still people in Piltover who don't know about me. Fame, let me down."

A simple joke dispelled the last worry in Ilodan's heart.

He calmed down his emotions and said: "The thing is like this, Nini has been able to hear a lot of weird voices since she was a child, and sometimes she can even guess what other people are thinking through those voices..."

It took Ilodan about 10 minutes to explain the situation clearly.

Marcus concluded that as she grew older, Seraphine's magical abilities became stronger and stronger, to the point that it troubled her normal life.

After leaving Piltover a year ago, the Irodan family was trying to find a way to cover up that voice.

I just searched hard for a year, and finally returned without success.

After returning to Piltover, Xia Sha suggested that Marcos works in the Law Enforcement Bureau, and he usually contacts many people, and Piltover is a city of progress, so maybe he knows some scientists and can help them.

Irodan came here this time because he wanted Marcus to tie them up and introduce some scientists who were not so repulsed by magic power.

"You've found the right person."

Marcus laughed: "If anyone in Piltover can help Nini, it must be Hex Technology!"

Marcus had predicted that this day would come five years ago. After all, in the background of Seraphine, the device that finally helped suppress her magical hearing came from Hex Technology.
