The Glory of Noxus
Chapter 240: The Eye of Zaun: Hidden Secrets
Yusir seemed to notice Huo Jixing's gaze and smiled softly.
"As you can see, I am indeed a Hextech cyborg."
She reached out and stroked her steel left arm, with trust and love in her eyes.
"Hextech is part of my body, and it gives me strength and speed far beyond that of ordinary people."
Huo Jixing nodded when he heard it.
In a city like Piltover with highly developed technology, the technology of cyborgs is not uncommon, but it is the first time he has seen a transformation like Yusir.
Huo Jixing asked curiously: "Can you tell me why you chose to become a cyborg?"
Among all the heads of the Raiser Guard Secret Office he had met before, Yusir was the only cyborg he had seen.
Yusir was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling some past experiences.
She slowly said, "Everyone has their own story and choice."
"I chose to become a Hextech cyborg so that I can better protect myself and the people around me."
"This device not only enhances my physical ability, but also allows me to deal with some special dangerous situations."
After hearing this, Huo Jixing fell into deep thought. He understood that everyone has their own choices and pursuits.
Hextech cyborgs may allow an ordinary person to have power comparable to that of a superhuman, but it also comes with unknown risks and challenges.
"Lord Huo Jixing, is there anything important that you are here for?" Yusir stared into Huo Jixing's eyes and asked respectfully.
Some time ago, she received news from the Trifari Council, asking her to fully assist Huo Jixing in carrying out secret missions in Piltover.
"I need to investigate someone, the inventor of Piltover, Kalida."
Huo Jixing got straight to the point and directly stated Kalida's location and related information.
"Be careful, although she is an ordinary inventor, there may be other forces behind her."
Yusir nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.
"The lower city, a place where all kinds of people meet Zaun."
After she pondered for a while, she said in a serious tone: "I have received a very secret message."
"The Eye of Zaun, which was once completely destroyed, seems to have revived in recent times and has been doing things in secret."
"The Eye of Zaun?" Huo Jixing looked puzzled.
"Yes, its former owner was called" Yusir's eyes flickered, and he spoke in a low voice.
"Silco!"
The dirty streets on the edge of the lower city seemed unusually deserted.
At the intersection, a group of Piltover guards were on guard.
They surrounded a dilapidated old museum and prohibited anyone from approaching.
This old museum, which was popular before last night, now looks dilapidated.
Inside the museum, the collections that once filled the room have long disappeared, leaving only some garbage and broken large artworks that cannot be taken away.
Caitlyn looked a little solemn, and walked slowly along the many traces of chaos in the museum.
Her eyes were extremely sharp, as if she was looking for something, and finally stopped in front of a melted and damaged wall.
"The power of runes and magic!"
As the sheriff of Piltover, Caitlin has dealt with many difficult magic incidents, which have also put her in danger many times.
She looked at the melted wall, and the remaining runes and traces of magic were clearly visible.
Caitlin reached out to touch the edge of the melted area. The temperature of the stone wall melted, and her face changed slightly.
"Sheriff, it has been confirmed that this is Januk's museum." Ariel came over and answered in a deep voice.
"But now, Januk can't be found. It seems to have disappeared completely."
"Januk, the second-hand dealer who smuggled and sold ancient collections?" Caitlin raised her eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her cold eyes.
"Yes." Ariel replied.
In fact, he was also a little confused in his heart. As the Piltover detective in charge of this area, he had dealt with Januk several times and received some benefits.
A Freljord immigrant who likes to sell and collect antiques, and also charges employers to find some peculiar items.
Of course, Januk's exploitation of employers' fees has been reported to the police station many times.
"From the traces left in the museum, he should have run away with his collection."
Ariel adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and gave his judgment and answer based on his own experience.
"So, what exactly happened that would make a museum director abandon his museum and run away directly?" Caitlin asked in a serious tone.
"And the traces left at the scene, this doesn't look like an ordinary museum director."
Hearing this, Ariel decisively forgot the bribes given by Januk.
"I will arrange the specific reasons, and I will also keep an eye on this matter personally."
"No need, Ariel. I will be responsible for this matter personally."
Suddenly, a low and firm voice came, attracting the attention of Caitlin and Ariel.
"Wei?"
Caitlin turned around and saw her familiar partner walking towards her with a solemn expression.
Wei's personality is very impatient, and coupled with her hot temper, she rarely appears in such a posture.
Ariel turned around and saw Vi, the famous Piltover law enforcer.
In the morning light, Vi walked towards him with firm steps.
Her short pink hair was fluttering, and her jewel-like blue eyes revealed depth and calmness.
There are goggles on the top of the head, shining with the luster of technology.
The Hextech armor she wore shone in the light, looking both hard and cold.
White bandages were wrapped around his hands, and the seemingly casual bandaging revealed a different style.
Vi can be seen holding back a yawn as she walks past the Piltover guards, holding a fragment with purple traces in her hand.
Ariel was in awe of Vi and consciously took a step back to give up his position.
"Glimmer potion."
Wei Xinbu walked over and threw the fragment in his hand directly to Caitlin.
"I could smell this familiar smell from a long distance away."
"It seems that they used a lot of it in last night's battle. Although it has been processed, there are still some traces left."
Caitlin caught the fragment with purple traces, her eyes darkened slightly.
"Museum? It's a smuggling trade place, right?"
Vi's eyes fell on Ariel, then moved away to communicate with Caitlin.
"I think the director of the museum here has already been in contact with Zaun and is involved in the smuggling trade of shimmering potions."
"I will follow the clues and pursue them."
"Yes, I will arrange for someone to assist you." Caitlin nodded and agreed.
"Just him."
Vi moved her shoulders, stretched out her left hand, and pointed at Ariel.
"He is responsible for the security of this area and must be very familiar with it."
Ariel frowned. He had a headache when he heard about the shimmer potion and didn't want to get involved in this matter.
But under the gaze of Caitlin and Vi, he still nodded and said it was okay.
Myrdalda family castle.
Huo Jixing was walking slowly on the flat path, preparing to return to his room.
“It tastes good.”
In his hand was a flagon filled with Piltover's specialty liquor.
Under the stimulation of the scorching alcohol, the Nanli Fire in the body began to stir slightly.
As soon as he took the elevator to the door of the room, Huo Jixing saw Hiro waiting silently.
"Lord Huo Jixing, please come over and have breakfast together." Hiro walked over quickly and spoke respectfully.
"OK."
Huo Jixing smiled and nodded, agreeing, but secretly groaned in his heart.
Have you finally remembered to see me?
Or did you encounter something difficult when dealing with problems?
The interior of the towering main castle.
Huo Jixing followed Hero's footsteps and walked through corridors, finally arriving at a magnificent restaurant.
The restaurant is covered with a soft red carpet, which is almost silent when you walk on it.
A roaring fire burns in the fireplace, emitting a warm glow that chases away the autumn chill.
When Huo Jixing walked into the restaurant, he saw Jagu Midarda, whom he had met once before.
He was sitting directly south of the long dining table, with a huge glazed window behind him. The morning sunlight shone on him through the window, casting a golden glow on him.
Jiagu is an old man with white hair, wearing a gold-rimmed red gown, looking solemn and majestic.
He looked at Huo Jixing quietly, his old eyes revealed a sharp and deep light, as if he could see everything.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Huo Jixing, for taking so long to meet you."
Jagu's voice was calm and powerful, as if there was an irresistible majesty.
"There have been a lot of things going on recently, and the Evolution Day is coming soon. The Myrdalda family needs to make some preparations."
Huo Jixing sat at the north side of the dining table with a relaxed expression, feeling the appropriate temperature in the restaurant, and began to taste breakfast.
He didn't speak, just listened to Jia Gu's words quietly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Hiro, you go down first."
When Jia Gu saw Huo Jixing's posture, there were little ripples in Gu Jing Bubo's eyes, and then he waved his butler to leave.
"Lord Huo Jixing, I think Your Majesty Swain has told you about the Myrdalda family."
Jia Gu supported his chin with both hands, his lowered eyes hidden in the falling morning light.
"Things are in trouble now, and we want to get the empire's help again."
"Now? Again?" Huo Jixing swallowed the food in his mouth and laughed softly.
He looked at Jia Gu, who was still calm. He hated conversations with hidden words. It was far better to go straight to the point.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Jia Gu looked at Huo Jixing, and a different emotion arose in his heart. It had been many years since the last person who dared to talk to him like this.
He didn't know what Huo Jixing's strength was, but getting Swain's attention would definitely not be as simple as it seemed.
Jagu sighed lightly, thinking about what happened last night and the intelligence information from Ezreal, his eyes darkened slightly.
When Ezreal took over the task, he still had expectations in his heart.
After all, explorer Ezreal's name, good or bad, does resound throughout the continent of Valoran.
As for gaining full recognition from the Piltover Explorers Guild, in his eyes, it was just a matter of words.
Ezreal did bring him some of the news he wanted.
But the truth of the matter was beyond his expectation.
Elixir of Glimmer, Zaun's forces, and the stolen Hexstone.
These things seem isolated, but Jagu is keenly aware of the connection between them.
He felt that a conspiracy was quietly going on, like an invisible spider web, gradually covering the Midalda family.
Jagu frowned, looked at Huo Jixing who was waiting, and spoke softly.
He didn't want to rely on the power of the Noxus Empire, but the current situation should not be underestimated.
Therefore, he must re-examine the current dangerous situation, find out the black hand behind the scenes, and protect the safety of the Midalda family.
