Piltover guards set up a dragnet nearby. Evelin was surrounded as soon as she appeared, but before she could take action, she was inexplicably rescued by a man.👤♩ 6➈ ♥👌

Then I explained, "Actually, I know that man you mentioned. His name is Twisted Fate, and we're friends now."

"I'm not referring to him, I'm referring to that woman."

"A woman? You mean Evelynn?"

"I don't know her name, only that she's called a succubus, and she travels around carrying out assassinations. The two have a very similar aura."

"This..."

Camille said the person who rescued Jinx resembled Evelynn, but I don't think so. I know a bit about Evelynn: she lured her prey with her beauty, and her assassination methods were erotic and cruel, which has nothing to do with Black Feather.

Could it be someone who experimented on Twisted Fate? He could create such powerful magic with potions, so it's possible he could create a living weapon like Jinx. Thinking this, I asked Camille:

"Do you know that crazy apothecary in Zaun? He recruits volunteers for experiments. He's the one who helped Twisted Fate use teleportation magic. Could it be related to him?"

"I know, but as you said, he's just a crazy pharmacist who conducts crazy experiments every day, and that has nothing to do with this."

"It seems we'll have to put this matter aside for now. Twisted Fate and Darius are both looking for Evelynn. I'll confirm with them when I have news!"

"You're really amazing, knowing so many celebrities."

"You've investigated us?"

"Of course, otherwise would I let such a powerful person roam freely in Piltover?"

"You flatter me. I've met another celebrity now, the amazing the Gray Lady."

Camille showed no joy at my compliments; she was old enough that she didn't care about such empty titles.

Besides, her brother Stivan so insightful, and she wasn't a shrewd person either. She then turned to our affairs. "I'm curious, since you enjoy traveling, why are you meddling in local matters?"

"Uh... it's hard to explain, it's fate, who can say for sure! But I originally came here to look for someone, but I didn't find them."

Who are you looking for?

"A kid named Ezreal has given up now; Jorba couldn't find him in the database."

"Ezreal?" Camille thought for a moment, realizing she didn't recognize him. "Does he have any relatives?"

His parents were explorers; I don't know his father's name, but his mother's name was Teresa.

"Teresa? A blonde, fair-skinned beauty?"

"Uh, I don't know what she looks like, I only saw it in the explorers' logbook they left behind. How come you know her?"

"I do know a woman named Teresa, but she's about my age and from Demacia, which doesn't match her identity as the mother of a child in Piltover."

I was delighted to hear Camille's words. She actually knew Teresa, and a blonde with fair skin at that—very likely the Charming Women!

Because the explorer's log contained many descriptions of his private life, I was initially puzzled as to why a professional explorer would write such things. However, it wouldn't be surprising if he were Charming Women, and age wouldn't be an issue either.

Could you give me more information about this Demacia?

"I don't know much about her, except that she and her brother visited Piltover decades ago, and I vaguely remember her because of her stunning beauty."

"Oh, I see."

I was a little disappointed; the clue I had finally obtained had gone cold again. But Camille's next words gave me hope again:

"However, I remember her brother settled in Piltover; I wonder if he's still alive."

Where can I find out about him?

"You should ask about the immigrant population in Jorba; I don't know anything about that."

"He's no longer the sheriff, because of what happened before."

"Then let Stivan do you a favor; it's no problem at all."

"Okay, thank you."

After saying this, Camille's skin suddenly glowed, and then the glow slowly disappeared. She said her repair was nearing completion.

I'm not sure if she'll still be able to speak so politely after the repairs are done, but it would be too impolite to just leave now, Camille realized that too.

"Aren't you leaving? If you wait another two minutes, I might not be able to keep talking to you like this."

"It's okay, it's not like I haven't seen you act all fierce before."

Camille's lips suddenly curled up slightly, though it was very brief, I still noticed it, so it seems she does have expressions after all!

Soon, her skin regained its luster, her clothes clung neatly to her body, and her expression and eyes changed abruptly. I knew then that the Gray Lady had returned.

"Maybe it's because I haven't chatted with anyone in so long, but I don't actually dislike you guys."

"It's a great honor; now we can say goodbye with peace of mind."

"Wait, how many places have you traveled to?"

"Many regions, including Demacia, Noxus, Ionia, and the far north of Freljord. While the scope is broad, it's not very detailed."

Have you ever seen or heard of a strange type of eye?

"Eyes?" The image of the Mutated Eye flashed through my mind.

"It's alright, it was just a dream. Maybe I was overthinking it."

I was already planning to leave, but after hearing Camille's words, I couldn't move. The strange eyes in my dream—weren't they the Evil Eyes we dreamt of?

Did she have that dream too?

I quickly recounted the scene from my dream to her: extreme ice, raging flames, destruction, despair, and malicious eyes...

How did you know about my dream?!

"Because I've had the same dream."

Camille was shocked. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "It seems we are destined to meet, and have an unclear relationship with each other."

"It wasn't just the two of us; Darius and the current King of Demacia Jarvan IV, also had the same dream. We don't know what it means, but Darius said it was a sign of a world-changing event."

Camille had never considered anything outside of Piltover, and now, hearing this, she was somewhat taken aback. "I haven't dreamed since I modified my body. This is the only dream I've had in decades, so it's very memorable. I never imagined that several other people would have the same dream as me."

"Welcome to the team, Ms. Camille!" After traveling for so long, I never expected to find a companion in Piltover, and one who is so powerful. I am very happy.

"Join what? Have you already formed an organization?"

"Uh, not yet. You reminded me that maybe we should really start an organization; perhaps more people will join in the future."

"Heh, this cold, life seems to have become a little interesting." Camille recovered from her shock, and her expression became more varied.

"I think we should find some time to meet up; maybe a group of people together will lead to different discussions."

"Then I'll wait here for your news."
