Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 183 Orianna's hand-drawn data map

After treating the wound on his arm, Marcus and Grayson walked out of the hospital together. Grayson's daughter had been dozing off because of a cold. Marcus bent down and picked her up, letting her put her little head on his On the shoulder, it is convenient for her to rest and refresh herself.

The little girl was not afraid of strangers at all, lying in Marcos' arms, she found a comfortable position by herself, wrapped her arms around Marcos' neck, and fell asleep slowly.

Grayson was a little surprised: "This is the first time Lei Lei trusts a stranger so much, she is usually very..."

"Introverted?" Marcus added with a smile: "Maybe it's because her mother often mentioned me to her, so she trusts me so much?"

A gleam of relief flashed in Grayson's eyes: "Actually, I want to say 'withdrawn', but there is nothing wrong with understanding it as introversion."

"Hahaha." Marcos said with a smile: "Her mother is a great woman, but also a strict woman. She will definitely be a good mother and can gradually improve her character."

Grayson couldn't help smiling: "I haven't seen you for a while, but your flattering skills have improved a lot."

"If you want to work better, you have to try to integrate into the environment." Marcos said helplessly: "It's all done through practice."

There was a glimmer of sadness in Grayson's eyes: "You were not like this before. If I hadn't retired and forced the responsibility on you, you wouldn't have had to make such a compromise."

"Ms. Grayson, you misunderstood." Marcus looked at the peaceful scene on the street, and the residents of Piltover lived and worked in peace, and said softly: "I have never complained about this job, on the contrary, I enjoy my life now .”

Grayson looked at Marcus unexpectedly for a while, and then showed a relieved smile: "That's good."

As she spoke, she took her daughter from Marcus's arms: "You still have official duties, so I won't talk to you any more. Come to eat at home when you have time, don't look at me like this. I have been studying recipes at home every day since I retired. , even that old fellow Nigtim praised the taste of my cooking."

Nigtim can eat himself like that, and he can definitely be regarded as a veteran of Piltover. Although he praised Grayson's craftsmanship, it is true that there are human feelings, so it shouldn't be too exaggerated.

Marcus smiled and waved his hands: "When I am free, I must go to taste the cooking skills of the chief."

Saying goodbye to Grayson, Marcus went straight to the Hex Research Institute. He asked before coming out of the hospital just now. Thalia woke up before entering the hospital. She just went in and did a simple check. The doctor told her to go back and pay attention. Rest, it will be relieved in two days.

Marcus has not yet arranged a place for her, and Talia has no place to live for the time being, Wei and the others will most likely send her to the research institute to wait for him.

As expected, when she arrived at the institute, Talia was surrounded by the scientists in the center, and the two ladies, Zevi and Rosa, started directly and gave Talia a full-body examination.

Talia had never seen such a scene before, and flinched and dodged uncomfortably.

Marcus also saw Seraphine giggling in the crowd, probably because she had read Talia's heart and was gloating.

When this little girl came to Hextech for help before, she was treated like this by Zevi and the others. Now that Talia has experienced it once, she has a kind of sympathy and expects Zevi and the others to go too far.

"Height...weight...armspan...bust..." Rosa measured the data and reported it to Zevi for records. The two cooperated tacitly, and one body data after another was recorded.

In the words of these scientists, every person with magical talent must have something different from ordinary people, so every piece of data is precious and cannot be let go.

When the measurements were taken, the older scientists didn't respond. They had seen this kind of scene a lot, and Talia was wearing thin clothes, so there was no intention of offending.

But is it appropriate for a half-child like Clegg to have seen such a thing?
The girl he liked was being manipulated in front of him, and some private data was revealed, and he was blushing from the sidelines, as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Wei looked at him, feeling strange: "We dressed like this when we were playing in the water in Dicheng when we were young. Why haven't you been shy?"

Clegg lowered his head, and said embarrassingly, "That's different, I haven't treated you as a girl since I was a child..."

"???" Wei was furious: "You want to say I'm a man, right?!"

Clegg hesitated instantly: "No, no, this is your own check-in."

With a cold face, Wei said: "I have some ideas about the boxing techniques that Marcus taught me before, and you will be my training partner tonight!"

Hearing this, Clegg's face turned ashen: "Can I refuse?"

Wei stared: "What do you think?"

Click, click, she snapped her fingers off like firecrackers.

"Okay..." Craig shrank his neck and could only accept his fate.

Wei usually practices boxing like a lunatic. When she was a child, the target drone in the entertainment room was broken by her countless times. Sometimes she would ask him to practice against Mellow, and every time they beat them all. give up.

This time I had angered her, and I reckoned that it would be bad luck to practice boxing at night.

Craig felt a bitterness in his heart.

Marcus stepped forward, coughed behind the crowd, and after attracting attention, he said with a straight face: "What are you doing here? What's there to see?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was him. They were not afraid at all, but laughed loudly: "Marcus, what's the matter with your arms? They are wrapped like mummies unearthed in the Shurima Desert!"

Wei's eyes narrowed: "Are you injured?"

She saw spots of blood oozing from the bandage wrapped around Marcus's arm. Although it was not serious, it was definitely a major event worthy of attention if someone in Piltover dared to attack Marcos!
Everyone stopped laughing and became serious.

"Who dares to attack the sheriff of the Law Enforcement Bureau in broad daylight?" Jess said, "Marcos, have you seen who is on the other side? Let's go to the council to sue them!"

Isaac was thoughtful: "Apart from those chaotic elements in the bottom city, there are only a few congressmen who have the courage to attack Marcos, right? Going to the parliament to sue may not work."

Zevi turned his head and glanced at Marcus, pointing to the glove hanging from his waist: "You are carrying a weapon, why is your arm hurt like this?"

Everyone who spoke to me was concerned about Marcos' injury, or suggested that the person who injured him be sent to prison.

Marcus felt warm in his heart, and went forward to pick up Thalia's coat and put it on her: "From now on, we will do this kind of thing in the room over there. After all, Thalia is a girl, and she is watched by a group of big men. It would be a little embarrassing.”

"Over there?" Zevi rolled his eyes angrily: "We have a total of five rooms, which were originally intended to be used for some experiments that require a closed space. As a result, you were going to make alchemy potions a while ago, and you directly put those rooms It’s been occupied, now besides the pharmacy room, how can there be any vacancy? It’s all filled with the mess you made!”

"Then vacate the pharmacy room." Marcus said: "Anyway, the alchemy potion has been successfully prepared, and those things are not needed for the time being. Find someone to vacate that room and use it for other purposes first."

"Instead of doing this, why don't we ask the decoration team to add a few more rooms." Victor raised his hand and suggested: "There are still a lot of vacant places in our research institute. It is not a problem at all to come out with a few more rooms."

"Yes." Jess echoed: "Exactly, aren't you renovating the dormitory recently? There is a ready-made decoration team, call them over, add some money, and it won't take long for every few rooms."

Marcus thought about it, and felt that the proposal was acceptable, so he nodded: "I will tell Hank the requirements, and when the dormitory is built, let the decoration team come to add a few rooms."

At this time, Talia's preliminary inspection was over, and Marcus said to Zevi: "Has the Atlas gloves improved with the cooperation of Orianna these days?"

"Have."

Putting away the notebook that recorded the data, Zevi pushed the monocle hanging on his face: "I remade a pair of gloves based on the data given by Orianna, you can try it."

"Yeah." Marcus called Wei and Craig, and Talia put on her coat and followed behind him with a blushing face, like a quail.

In a short period of time, she couldn't cooperate with others to carry out research, and had to wait until the other people's affairs at hand were almost dealt with.

Following Zevi to the area she was in charge of, Marcus saw Orianna lying alone in front of a table, drawing drawings.

I took a closer look and found that the drawing turned out to be a full-body portrait of myself, and arrows were used to extend it around the portrait, and the data was written on it.

Sensing someone approaching, Orianna thought it was Zevi who came back, and said without raising her head: "My drawing is almost finished, and the full-body Atlas armor plan you envisioned will be implemented by then. We'd better keep this plan from Marcos, and give him a surprise after it's done!"

Marcus tilted his head, and said suddenly: "Then I can pay you a lot more salary!"

Orianna was too focused on drawing the drawings. The noise at the door just now didn't bother her, and she didn't know that Marcus was back. At this moment, she suddenly heard Marcus talking, which made her heart skip a beat, and she quickly put her hands on the On the drawings, I want to cover up.

"You, you, you...you don't make any movement no matter how you walk!"

Pretty face was flushed, and Oliana was very annoyed when she saw Zevi giggling: "And sister Zevi, don't remind me!"

Zevi pretended to be helpless, shrugged and said: "You didn't give me a chance to remind you, you said everything when you heard the footsteps, and I didn't react."

"Hmph!" Orianna wrinkled her little nose, and she looked naive. Seeing Marcus staring at the blueprint she was blocking, she panicked even more, and threw herself on it, blocking her sight, and shouted, "Don't look at it!"

Marcus laughed suddenly: "I've read it all, and I have to say that your visual inspection is very accurate, and many data have almost no error with my own, but..."

He changed the subject and said: "In some places, you not only marked the data wrongly, but also drew it wrongly."

This kind of questioning of her professionalism immediately caused Orianna's dissatisfaction. She raised her body and looked at the drawing: "What's wrong?"

Marcus took the opportunity to push her away, then pointed to a certain part on the drawing and said, "I made a mistake here, mine...is bigger than what you drew!"

Orianna looked at where Marcos was pointing, her face turned red to the base of her ears, and even her neck was pink, and she stammered, "I... I... I haven't seen it, it's just estimated data! "

"Although it's inconvenient for you to observe it with your own eyes, you only need to multiply this data by 2, and it's basically accurate." Marcos corrected it seriously.

Zewei mentally calculated the data and was dumbfounded: "This...so big!?"

"That's right." Marcus patted his thigh: "Do I look like that kind of weak nobleman, do I have a pair of thin bamboo legs?"
