The Glory of Noxus

Highland hills near the Blood Cliff.

Huo Jixing and Petar hid in the darkness, looking at the signal fireworks that frequently bloomed above the port, watching the show quietly.

As time passed.

At the passage connecting the Blood Cliff to the port, blood-colored armored soldiers poured in like a tide, and under the command of the captain of the guard, they deployed control at key traffic locations.

Even many ships parked in the port were affected.

Amid the bright lights, bells and trumpets rang, and the Chamber of Commerce leaders and ship guards appeared on the deck, looking at the blood-colored armored soldiers vigilantly.

Unfortunately, in such a busy situation.

They didn't know that the target of the pursuit had left the port.

"Let's go."

Huo Jixing looked deeply at the blood-colored armored soldiers, retracted his gaze, stepped back a few steps, and escaped into the darkness.

Petar followed silently.

Although he was a little curious about why Huo Jixing suddenly helped the person being hunted.

But he didn't ask too much, and he knew the limit.

In the silent courtyard.

The dim candlelight lit up, driving away the darkness that was coming.

Huo Jixing closed his eyes and thought, carefully linking what had just happened: "Mr. Piltover wants to leave Blood Cliff."

There is a fugitive from Piltover in the city of Lishu Noxus, and it seems that the whole city is under surveillance, hoping to catch the target safely.

Memories emerged, and Huo Jixing remembered the scene when he entered the city gate earlier, and his expression moved.

So, the trade route between Longmen and Blood Cliff is watched by someone, and [Noxtora] is also closed because of the fugitive from Piltover.

"Blood Cliff Port is the only way and opportunity to leave." Huo Jixing concluded.

Because in the Noxus Empire, the coastal ports of each city are managed by the Empire's Supreme Command.

Whether it is closed or not, local cities have no right to interfere.

Only the Empire's Supreme Command has the final say.

"Then why not just disclose the identity of the fugitive?" Huo Jixing tapped his fingers, and his thoughts fluctuated in his mind.

"Is this fugitive connected to the Mo Wuli family?"

Sighing lightly, Huo Jixing rubbed his brows. There were too few clues to infer more information.

Then he quickly restrained his emotions. There were still important things to do tomorrow.

In the deep alley near the city of Blood Cliff Port.

The burning torches surrounded the area like a long dragon, and the smell of rust filled the air.

The captain of the guards tightly grasped the long sword at his waist, and looked at the cold and broken bodies of the soldiers in blood-colored armor and the guards of the Chamber of Commerce on the ground with a gloomy look.

"Someone intervened in this matter."

He squatted down and his fingers brushed across the fatal wounds on his body.

Before these people died, they seemed to be wiped out easily without any resistance.

"The skill level is very high. I suspect that it was done by a strong man who has the skill of the Conqueror Blade or even the Grandmaster."

The captain of the guards stood up and walked to the middle-aged man in gorgeous brocade clothes beside him.

"I don't care about the process, I only care about the result." Butum Mouli frowned slightly in disdain, his pale face full of coldness.

"The person ran away, go and tell my father yourself."

The captain of the guards was embarrassed and his legs trembled when he heard this.

He looked at Butum, whose eyes were sunken and dark circles were dense, gritted his teeth and bowed to accept the order.

"Also, lift the blockade of the port quickly."

When Butum turned to leave, he saw many ships parked at the port and frowned: "Don't delay the family business."

"Yes!" The captain of the guards responded and commanded the blood-red armored soldiers under his command.

Ta-ta! Ta-ta!

The golden-red carriage moved along the port street.

Butum leaned against the warm carriage, lifted the silk curtain on the window, and watched the movement in the port and the blood-red armored soldiers who were leaving.

"It's just a descendant, why is father so nervous."

As if thinking of his father's cold face, Butum trembled and suppressed his inner emotions: "It's none of my business, just do your own thing."

In his world, as long as the Mouli family is still there, he is half the owner of the Blood Cliff.

"These days, there are still people who buy rune items at high prices." Butum shook his head gently, as if he remembered something interesting.

The day before yesterday, he learned that someone in the city was buying rune items at high prices.

He just happened to have a rune item that he accidentally got from the family's warehouse, and he didn't have enough money, so he could go and cheat.

Raiser guards the secret place.

In the quiet and comfortable courtyard.

"Come here so early?" Jalal raised his eyebrows, looked at Huo Jixing, and laughed softly.

"Don't worry, there will be news in the morning, and I will come on time at the trading time."

He felt a little strange in his heart.

With Huo Jixing's status and power, he should not lack rune items, why is he still buying them at high prices?

"I'm bored, so I came to take a look." Huo Jixing answered casually.

He looked at the pile of letters in front of Jalal, suppressed his inner restlessness, and walked to the front yard: "I'm going to drink some strong liquor."

A few days ago, Huo Jixing asked Jalal to collect rune items in the Blood Cliff.

Yesterday, someone sent a message that a rune item could be sold.

If the harvest this time is good, he may be able to light up the Suzaku Star Map.

As for the necklace hanging around Huo Jixing's neck.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, he naturally does not want to decompose fine rune items such as healing gems.

Arriving at the front yard of the tavern, Huo Jixing ordered a few side dishes and a pot of flames, and drank by himself.

After drinking, the star of Liuxu flickered, and some inspiration for skills came to my mind.

In such a leisurely time, time passed slowly.

"The guests have arrived!"

Huo Jixing was half drunk and half awake, and heard Jalal's voice, and quickly awakened the fire of Nanli in his body to evaporate the alcohol.

Then he ate all the snacks in front of him.

Following Jalal's pace, he entered the box on the second floor of the tavern.

"Huh?" Huo Jixing saw the blood-colored armored soldiers at the door of the box and looked at Jalal in confusion.

Jalal frowned slightly and said in advance that it was a secret transaction.

"Just now, the target of the transaction is Butum Mouli of the Mouli family."

"He is the ninth son of Mouli IV, with a noble status. Maybe he is afraid that there will be accidents in this transaction."

Huo Jixing nodded lightly, and the two walked to the box and entered the box after searching.

He was still a little confused why he was allowed to hang a long knife in.

After entering, I found that there were six soldiers in blood-colored armor inside, as well as a middle-aged man with a pale face and sunken eyes, who seemed to have been hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

"Please sit down!" Butum pointed to the seat in front of him, speaking lazily.

"Have you brought the gold coins I want?"

Huo Jixing looked out of the corner of his eye. Since entering the box, the six soldiers in blood-colored armor have been surrounding them vaguely, not giving them a chance to shoot.

"Brought it!"

Huo Jixing suppressed his displeasure, sat upright on a wooden chair, took out a bag of gold coins from his arms, untied the string, and spread it on the table in front of him.

"Where is what I want?"

Butum seemed not to hear, stretched out his hand to take out a gold coin, blew it lightly, and looked satisfied.

"Where is what I want?" Huo Jixing spoke again, his eyes slightly cold.

"Haha, here." Butum frowned and glared at Huo Jixing.

Then he clapped his hands, and the blood-colored armored soldier standing behind him stepped forward and put down a sealed wooden box.

"You also know that rune items are somewhat corrosive, so be careful."

Huo Jixing took the wooden box and opened it casually, and saw a blood-colored gem lying on the white silk cloth, with a hazy glow, like clear blood, with a unique charm.

"This power" Huo Jixing's pupils shrank, and he sensed a familiar breath.

Before his thoughts surged, a cold voice sounded in his ears.

"Okay, you two, since you have seen my things, you can leave." Butum leaned back and pointed at the two people.

Huo Jixing looked up when he heard the words, and glanced at Jalal beside him, with a surprised look.

As if asking, what is going on?

"What? Are you two going to steal the rune items of the Mouli family?" Butum leaned forward and stared at Huo Jixing and Jalal with interest.

"Come here, take these two thieves back for questioning."

After saying that, he was about to get up and leave. The blood-colored armored soldier beside him stepped forward, took back the wooden box, and resealed it.

"Get up!"

Inside the box, two blood-colored armored soldiers gathered around, with their sharp blades half unsheathed, and spoke in a stern voice.

Huo Jixing and Jalal looked at each other, looking a little helpless.

Jalal shrugged his shoulders, indicating that it was not his doing.

"Ah!" Huo Jixing sighed helplessly.

He has been very cautious recently because of the words of the pale lady.

But now Butum's actions made him unable to suppress his inner violence.

Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, several other blood-colored armored soldiers drew their sharp blades from their waists and moved their feet.

"I am Butum Mouli. If you two want to resist, you may not be able to get out of the blood cliff." Butum turned around and said sarcastically.

"I advise you two not to resist stubbornly!"

"If you take them back now, you will just stay in jail for a while."

"Ah!" Butum seemed a little tired, yawned, chuckled, and a chill appeared on his pale face.

"So, you two don't have to lose your lives for these gold coins!"

After saying this, Butum weighed the gold coins in his hand, walked past the soldiers in blood-colored armor, and walked to the door of the box.

In his mind since he was a child, he didn't know what the laws of the Noxus Empire were, what fair trade was, and he didn't want to know.

He only knew that the Mouli family was the sky of Blood Cliff and the uncrowned king.

No one could disobey the orders of the Mouli family.

Even the extraordinary people were the same.

Before he came, he had already secretly investigated the backgrounds of the two people. They were just outsiders who were trying to make a living.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The blade entered the flesh, and a sticky liquid sprayed and fell on the face.

Butum wiped his face, looking extremely angry, and turned around immediately.

"Damn you, uh uh!"

The blood-red picture behind him blocked Butum's next words. You can see that the pale face has a hint of red, and the sunken eyes are full of fear.

"How dare you.!"
