The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 24 Camille

It was late at night, and the stars were shining.

The brightly lit Midalda Castle stood under the white moonlight.

The dark gray rocks built into high walls, like an ancient guardian that had experienced the frost and weather, guarding the castle.

The dome was built with refined steel, shining with a cold metallic luster, adding a touch of modernity to this ancient castle.

In the banquet hall of the main castle, the atmosphere was solemn and strong.

The soft red carpet covered the clean floor, and walking on it was almost silent, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort.

The bright magic lights jumped on the walls, illuminating the surrounding environment like daylight.

In the center of the banquet hall, a long dining table was filled with food and wine.

Under the lights, the exquisite tableware flashed a different light, and many delicacies exuded an alluring aroma, making people salivate.

Jagu Midalda, wearing a dark red and gold uniform, sat at the main seat of the dining table, the wine in his hand swaying gently, exuding a faint aroma of wine.

On his left hand side, Camille Firoz was wearing a dark dress, and her gem-like eyes reflected Jagu's old face.

"Camille, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still elegant and graceful."

Jagu's deep eyes fell on Camille's face, which had hardly changed, and a ripple appeared.

"If you are willing to accept the changes that Hextech has brought to your body, you can do the same." Camille responded.

In the City of Progress, every powerful oligarch family has already studied Hextech in all aspects of life, including the human body.

For my family, I am willing to dedicate.

Under the family motto of the Firoz family, Camille traded her soul and got everything she has now.

Jagu laughed softly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and concealed his thoughts.

He had already obtained detailed data information about the pain brought by the evolution of Hextech from the inventors funded by his family.

At least at his age now, his attitude towards the evolution of Hextech is still quite supportive.

And Jagu is not in a hurry.

Since the advent of the Hextech era, there have been new technological changes almost every day.

He can wait.

"Being too rigid will breed weaknesses." Camille glanced at Jagu, her eyes flickering.

She had already known a little about the problems that the Midalda family was facing through the Firoth spy.

Just as the two were talking quietly.

Huo Jixing pushed open the door, stepped in, and his eyes fell on Jagu's left hand side.

Blue Steel Shadow Camille!

Retro-style white hairstyle, slightly hard and bright face, gem-like eyes, and sharp momentum, evoked his memories of his previous life.

The Camille he saw now was basically the same as the picture in his previous life.

But the sharp momentum was more realistic than the computer screen.

In addition, Camille's body, which was enhanced and transformed with Hextech, was almost invisible.

Hearing the footsteps, Camille turned his head, and the figure of Huo Jixing appeared in his blue eyes.

"This guy"

Camille's heart trembled, and her usually calm face rippled when she saw Huo Jixing.

In her gem-like eyes, there was a glow, like a lighthouse in the deep sea, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Huo Jixing, who seemed ordinary, gave her an extreme sense of danger.

This was the first time she had such a feeling after carrying out countless dangerous missions and meeting many difficult opponents.

Under her modified Hex eyes, Huo Jixing was like a huge furnace that was burning all the time.

And the flames in this furnace were not ordinary flames, but a more terrifying existence.

Now this terrifying flame shrank in Huo Jixing's small body, and it was very quiet.

"Hello, Ms. Camille."

Huo Jixing walked over with a smile, stretched out his right hand, and spoke softly.

"I am Huo Jixing."

Camille stood up, held Huo Jixing's right hand, and a smile appeared on her hard face.

"Nice to meet you. I have heard of your reputation in the Noxus Empire."

Simple words, but they tell the origin of Huo Jixing's identity and the deeds he left in the Noxus Empire.

This not only tells of Philos's strength, but also shows her importance of meeting today.

During the day, after receiving the reply from the Midalda family, Camille directly decided to meet tonight.

This is also the origin of the current banquet.

After the two shook hands gently, they sat down on the left and right sides of Jagu.

Huo Jixing picked up the wine and drank it casually.

Under the circumstances that Jagu and Camille could not detect, the spiritual power spread silently.

Being in Piltover and the Midalda family, he had already seen the changes brought about by Hextech technology.

But Camille brought a little sense of danger to Huo Jixing, who had set foot on the legend.

Huo Jixing's eyes moved, and the red gold filled his pupils, and he noticed the difference of Camille.

He looked at Camille's face, which was almost the same as that of an ordinary person, and couldn't help but sigh at the development of Hextech.

But it was Hextech after all, and there were still some subtle differences from ordinary people.

The most special thing was Camille's gem-like eyes. Looking closely, they were clearly two carefully carved Hextech gems.

In addition.

He also noticed that there was a great magical power permeating Camille's body.

This is not like the magical power of a normal transcendent, but more like absorbing runic items, and the source is Camille's heart.

"The core of Hex Technology." Huo Jixing thought secretly in his heart.

Camille seems to have completely transformed herself into a sophisticated Hextech instrument, gaining strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

Huo Jixing compared the many heroes he had encountered and reasonably doubted that Camille's strength had already reached the peak of heroes.

I just don’t know whether the power burst out from the Hex Stone is stronger or weaker than the heroes with extraordinary skills.

"Perhaps she doesn't need skills. She can perfectly control her body and movements with Hex technology."

Huo Jixing thought of the Camille battle information recorded by the Midarda family.

"The Evolution Day is coming soon. Will Lord Huo Jixing attend?" Camille looked over and asked.

"If the problem is solved successfully, I will be happy to go." Huo Jixing looked at Jia Gu, who was in charge, and replied softly.

Then he recalled the Hextech equipment he had seen and spoke curiously.

"I heard Jarl say that with the development of Hex technology, different Hex technology cores have different energy intensities."

"How do you differentiate?"

Camille heard the words, pondered for a while, then organized her words and said.

"In the early days of Hextech, there was no such distinction."

"Because the magical energy in the Hex Crystal is uncontrolled and cannot be effectively controlled."

"Until Councilor Tallis completes the stabilization of the Hex Crystal and creates the Hex Gem."

Camille looked at Jagu deeply.

The Myrdalda family has its current powerful position not only due to its own trade and wealth, but also due to the influence of Jess Tallis.

"Lord Huo Jixing, you can ask the head of the Jiagu family. The Myrdalda family has rich experience in this regard."

Huo Jixing looked at Jia Gu, who had remained silent, and happened to meet the other person's deep raised eyes.

"Congressman Talis has indeed made an indelible impact on the research of Hex Technology." Jagu spoke slowly.

"Hextech can harness the magical energy contained within the Hex Crystal, and its power is only limited by the imagination of the user."

"Based on this aspect, Senator Talis invented the Hex Gem and made a true Hex technology item."

"This is an epoch-making item that is different from the previous Hex-standard equipment."

"It gives Hextech unique capabilities."

"And every Hextech item produced probably took several years to create."

Jia Gu looked at Huo Jixing with a smile and said in invitation.

"If Mr. Huo Jixing is interested, I can ask Jal to take you to the family laboratory."

No matter which house in Piltover you are in, Hextech Labs are a highly confidential place and are forbidden to outsiders.

Because it contains many research results of each family.

When Camille heard Jagu's invitation, her eyes flashed and she sighed secretly.

It is indeed Jagu who leads the Myrdalda family to the top of Piltover.

"With pleasure."

Huo Jixing nodded slightly, agreed, and then asked seemingly casually.

"I heard that Senator Tallis once had a very good friend named"

"Victor!"

"Do you have any influence?"

After hearing Victor's name, Jagu and Camille fell into silence and looked at each other silently.

"Sir, does this matter involve Victor?" Jagu quickly gathered his mood and asked in a solemn voice.

"No, I'm just curious."

Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders and expressed his thoughts.

Jagu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Under the deliberate control of public opinion, Victor's name had long been submerged among many famous inventors.

In fact, many families in Piltover are very aware of Victor's contribution to the development of Hex Technology.

But Victor no longer belongs to Piltover, but is a native of the Undercity.

Just as Jia Gu continued to speak.

Suddenly, there was a deafening explosion, breaking the pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant.

At the same time, there was a shaking sensation, and the food on the dining table spilled out of the disc and fell on the white tablecloth.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up immediately, came to the window sill of the restaurant, and looked into the distance.

Under the black night sky.

Fiery flames soared into the sky, blooming like flowers in the night sky.

The mushroom cloud-like aftermath is reflected in the sky, attracting the attention of countless people, like a doomsday scene.

The panic in the city gradually emerged, and the piercing sirens came one after another, breaking the tranquility of the night.

On the wide streets, Piltover guards gathered urgently, and fire engines roared past, rushing to the disaster place.

"It's the Zodiac basement."

Camille stood beside Huo Jixing and spoke in a deep voice.

Zodiac basement.

The safest bank in Piltover.

Huo Jixing's expression immediately changed, and a hazy mist appeared at his feet, lifting his body and disappearing into the main castle.

Behind him, Camille looked surprised. After a little hesitation, she jumped down from the window.

Buzz! Buzz!

Two slender steel wire ropes were embedded between different buildings, rippling Camille's body and disappearing into the darkness.

Go forward in time.

After getting Devaki's confession, Caitlin discussed with Vi and immediately organized the Piltover guards to go to the Zodiac Vault.

With the power of the Sheriff of Piltover and the Gila Mann family, Caitlin broke into the Zodiac vault and met the person in charge of the vault.

Originally, as the person in charge of the Zodiac vault, Caitlin would not see her so easily.

After all, it is the safest bank in Piltover, and the items stored in it involve many chambers of commerce and families in Piltover.

But with the Hextech precision rifle and the secret order signed by Councilor Tallis, the person in charge had to make concessions.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be in contact with Senator Tallis."

In the gilded room in the Zodiac basement, Wei moved her hands, and the giant Hextech gloves glowed blue.

Jess Tallis, Councilor of Piltover, the great inventor who ushered in the Hextech Era.

Even Vi has heard Jace's name mentioned countless times in the past.

"Don't think too much, Jace and I are just friends."

Caitlin was carefully wiping her Hextech Precision Rifle, and when she heard Vi's teasing words, she glared at her partner fiercely.

She recalled her meeting and conversation with Jace, and looked around at the Piltover guards with solemn expressions.

After all, this operation involves the Zodiac vault, and the Hex gems and Hex stabilizing devices stored in the vault by the Myrdalda family.

Only as a member of Parliament for Piltover can the ensuing turmoil be suppressed.

And because of the secretive nature of this operation, Caitlin did not mobilize many manpower, only the police force of her own police station.

Seemingly sensing Caitlin's seriousness, Wei walked over and bumped Caitlin's shoulder.

"Don't worry, trust yourself."

Caitlin suppressed her inner thoughts, tightened her grip on the Hextech precision rifle in her hand, and nodded slightly to Vi.

Compared to Vi's fiery temper, Caitlin smelled a hint of conspiracy after receiving the news.

She immediately mobilized intelligence information from the police station, as well as information about the battle that occurred at the port last night.

"There is an undercurrent sweeping Piltover and Zaun."

Caitlin began to patrol along the inside of the Zodiac basement.

After working hours, only hired guards were on duty in the Zodiac basement, and other staff had gone home from get off work.

"Are you sure there is no secret passage in the basement?" Caitlin looked at the person in charge behind her who was wearing a brocade uniform.

"Absolutely not. Our Zodiac basement is quite safe." The person in charge shook his head in denial.

"And I don't think anyone could quietly steal something from a basement."

The person in charge pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, thinking of the many gunshots he had faced before, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Chief Caitlin, if you get nothing from this operation, even with the secret order signed by Councilor Tallis, I will complain to the council about you."

Caitlin didn't answer. Since she had already made a decision, she wouldn't be afraid of the other party's complaints.

"Wei, go see me again."

Jingle bell bell! Jingle bell bell!

Before Caitlin could finish her words, a piercing alarm sounded, echoing in the basement.
