The Glory of Noxus

“Very special design.”

Huo Jixing carefully looked at the self-propelled motorcycle in front of him and saw a small piece of Hex gem embedded in the power compartment.

Then he looked at the inventors in the room who were observing the operation of the power cabin.

They discussed with each other and carefully recorded the data line by line with quill pens, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It is the sacrifices and contributions of these unknown inventors that have led to the prosperity and development of the City of Progress and the accumulation of cutting-edge knowledge in Hex technology.

"Go inside and have a look."

Jal walked half a step behind and softly invited.

Although he was a little confused in his heart as to why Huo Jixing wanted to visit the Myrdalda family's Hex Technology Laboratory.

But he still followed his father's order and brought Huo Jixing to this heavily guarded laboratory.

Huo Jixing and Jia Er continued to move forward along the wide corridor.

At this time, a middle-aged man holding a long black cane and wearing a dark red and gold uniform walked towards him.

"I've met Mr. Jarl." The middle-aged man wore gold-rimmed glasses and saluted respectfully.

"This is the person in charge of the laboratory." Jal introduced Huo Jixing.

Immediately afterwards, the two people, led by the person in charge, browsed this laboratory full of technology.

Along the way, Huo Jixing passed by the reception room where collections were displayed, the luxurious and extravagant reception rooms, and the experimental studios in operation.

"What do these people do?"

In a spacious silver-white room, Huo Jixing saw more than thirty young people gathered together, and bursts of discussion could be heard.

"They are here to interview intern inventors from the laboratory." The person in charge pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and spoke in a deep voice.

"Now waiting for the opportunity to demonstrate."

"After reading the name, they will enter the interview room, briefly introduce the content of their demonstration, and then explain the outline of the principle."

"In the end, knowledgeable inventors will judge the content of their demonstrations, and finally a few intern inventors will be selected to stay."

Jal's respectful attitude made him realize that the handsome young man in front of him had a high status, so he behaved very respectfully.

Huo Jixing nodded slightly and looked at the luxurious waiting room.

The ground is paved with parallel staggered floors, and there is a Levit clock in the room, made of ivory and mother-of-pearl, which keeps the time accurate.

In the innermost part of the room is a pair of dark doors, solemn and solemn, with a shutter window at eye level.

It has to be said that the Myrdalda family has invested a lot of resources in Hex technology research and recruited many well-known inventors.

At the same time, the Myrdalda family also openly displayed this research to everyone, attracting more talented young inventors to join the laboratory.

Huo Jixing walked forward slowly.

In the laboratory, he not only saw the forbidden magic stone from the Kingdom of Demacia, but also the special metal transported back from the continent of Shurima.

As well as weapons featuring Ionia’s iconic designs and the Freljord’s ultimate ice weapons.

These rare things are placed in different laboratories and studied by senior inventors.

They will use the experimental results obtained on Hex Technology.

"This is our core laboratory."

The person in charge pointed to the end of the road, where a heavy metal door stood majestically.

The emblem of the Myrdalda family is engraved on the giant door, and there are four copper-colored metal robots on both sides, standing quietly like guardians.

The four copper-colored metal robots in front of them are tall, with smooth and precise body lines.

Inside their bodies, complex metal pipes criss-cross, like the blood vessels of the human body, supporting their life activities.

The Hextech weapon in his hand seemed to fall into silence, but the light of the Hexstone covered the weapon.

When Huo Jixing and others approached, the four copper-colored metal robots immediately came to life as if given life.

Their glowing blue eyes swept across the crowd, and after pausing on Huo Jixing for a while, they made a cold, hard voice.

"Welcome, Lord Jarl and Lord Parks."

Four copper-colored metal robots took steps and pushed open the giant metal door.

"Assembling robots." Jarl spoke at the right time, telling the origin of these copper-colored metal robots.

"They were born in Zaun, but after being transformed by Hex technology, they have the strength to rival the extraordinary."

"If the installed Hex Gem has enough magical energy, it can temporarily intercept heroic-level transcendent beings."

Huo Jixing looked amazed and followed Parks's steps into the core laboratory.

The laboratory is silver-colored, with a circular interior space and countless small luminous glass balls on the dome, which allows the laboratory to be illuminated in daylight at all times.

In the laboratory at this moment, there were two men and three women, wearing dark red robes of master craftsmen.

They were writing something on a huge notepad with a gold-plated quill, and the sound of scratching the paper was clearly audible in the room.

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, and he saw that each of these master craftsmen knew one or more Hex technology enhancements.

Some have modified metal arms; some have modified cheeks; and some have modified half of the body.

Then following their gazes, Huo Jixing looked at the workbench in the center of the laboratory.

A special Hextech experiment is placed above. Metal wires are intertwined in an orderly manner within a cube. At the core is a sphere covered with acid-etched patterns.

"Hex concentric ring amplifier." Parks said with a proud tone.

"This will be the greatest Hex invention of the Midalda family."

Seeing the puzzled eyes of Huo Jixing and Jarl, he spoke again.

"By controlling the properties of Hex crystals, its output effect can be amplified exponentially, surpassing all current means."

"For example, Lord Jarl's Hex energy shield."

"If it could resist the attack of the extraordinary before, then under the Hex concentric ring amplifier, by amplifying the output power of Hex gems, it can resist the attack of hero-level extraordinary in a short time."

"But it is not stable yet."

As soon as Parks finished speaking, a man with snow-white hair took over the words.

He has an artificial eye, which is carefully cut into multiple planes like a gem, embedded in the middle of the ceramic piece, and fixed on his face covered with burn scars.

"We are looking for the best geometric shape and the most suitable rotation axis of the crystal."

"I believe that after the experiment is successful, it will bring rich rewards to the Midalda family."

The white-haired man saw Jarl coming and thought that the Midalda family came to inquire about the progress of the experiment, so he started to defend himself.

After all, they had wasted a lot of Hextech crystals and Hextech gems in previous experiments.

"It's not finished yet."

Huo Jixing shook his head slightly disappointed.

He had heard Parks' introduction before and thought it was a finished product.

However, thinking of the effect of the Hextech Concentric Ring Amplifier, it can indeed add hot fuel to the current Hextech era.

Huo Jixing looked at Jarl and Parks and asked softly.

"Are there ready-made Hextech equipment or Hextech gems in the laboratory?"

His purpose of coming to the laboratory was very clear.

First, to understand the cutting-edge knowledge and products of Hextech and provide intelligence information for the Reiser Garrison Corps.

Second, to get more Hextech equipment and gems and decompose the essence.

"Yes." Parks replied.

He led Huo Jixing and Jarl to the left side of the workbench, opened the metal hatch, and a carved storage table slowly rose.

Three pieces of Hextech equipment full of technological sense came into everyone's view.

They are a metal glove, a strange-shaped pistol, and a small square metal strip.

Next to the Hextech equipment, there is a black wooden box with six Hextech gems shining blue.

"Atlas glove!" Parks pointed to the metal glove and said.

"This is Hextech equipment made by Senator Talis. It is a very rare and powerful Hextech enhancement."

"It can greatly increase the wearer's strength and flexibility, but it has been proven that continuous use can cause bone damage to the wearer."

"We have improved it and it can be used for most trained ordinary people."

Parks saw Jarl's curious eyes and introduced another strange-shaped pistol.

"Hex vinyl gun."

"It was originally produced for Piltover Guards, but later it was sealed due to serious safety hazards."

"But after laboratory research, the safety hazards have been successfully eliminated. It has been confirmed by the parliament and can be mass-produced and provided to Piltover Guards again."

"Finally, it is the Hextech energy shield."

Parks looked at Huo Jixing and vaguely guessed Huo Jixing's identity.

"With highly customized energy intensity adjustment, different shield intensities can be released when facing different enemies."

"The current maximum power can resist the attack of hero-level extraordinary people."

"The consequence is that the magic energy of Hex gems will be consumed in large quantities, and they need to be replaced in time."

Huo Jixing walked over and his eyes fell on the carved storage table.

At the same time, a cold reminder sounded in his ears.

Huo Jixing raised the corner of his mouth and reached out to take out a Hex gem from the black wooden box.

This Hex gem is only half the size of a ping-pong ball, and it ripples with blue light.

Don't look at the Hex gem as small, but it represents the future.

It can allow many chambers of commerce families in Piltover to enjoy the huge benefits of the Sea of ​​Watchers and the Sea of ​​Conquerors.

Now it no longer takes several years to make a Hex gem.

As long as research continues, Hex gems will have immeasurable potential.

"Hex Technology Era."

Huo Jixing thought of the words that Jia Gu and others often mentioned, and nodded secretly.

In the face of runes and magic, the emergence of Hextech technology does give ordinary people hope to resist the extraordinary.

Huo Jixing rubbed the Hextech gem with his fingers, and his spiritual power extended, touching the energy inside the gem. A soft blue light instantly spread and rendered the laboratory.

"Hextech gem out of control?"

"Be careful!"

"Open the safety explosion-proof room."

"Leave the laboratory immediately."

In an instant, a burst of noise sounded in the laboratory.

The master craftsmen seemed to sense the danger coming and immediately got busy.

Parks directly grabbed Jarl's arm and prepared to take him out of the laboratory.

Huo Jixing saw the chaos in the laboratory, raised his eyebrows slightly, and understood the reason behind all this.

Then, he gently withdrew his spiritual power and spoke in a concentrated voice.

"Don't be nervous!"

The voice was neither loud nor soft, but it seemed to have magic, instantly suppressing the noise in the laboratory and making everyone quiet down.

As his words fell, the blue light on the Hextech gems, like invisible ripples, quietly dissipated in the air.

"Can I take these Hextech equipment and Hextech gems?"

Huo Jixing looked at Parks, weighed the Hextech gems in his hand, and asked.

The magical energy possessed by these Hextech gems is much more magnificent than the Hextech gems that were mostly consumed before.

It can be imagined that the amount of essence they decompose will also be much more.

"This."

Parks looked hesitant and looked at Jarl, not knowing how to start.

Jarl was also a little embarrassed. Although he was the heir of the Midalda family, his current power was not enough to control the family's laboratory.

Huo Jixing saw the expressions of Parks and Jarl and thought to himself.

"I only want these Hextech gems, not the Hextech equipment."

"Okay!"

Jarl's honest face showed a firm look and agreed.

Seeing Parks about to speak, he winked and shook his head gently.

"Lord Huo Jixing, you can take these Hex gems."

The battle in the Zodiac Basement redefined Huo Jixing's status in the eyes of the Midalda family.

There are more than six Hex gems brought from the people of the bottom city.

Huo Jixing put the Hex gems in his hand back into the black wooden box, then picked up the black wooden box and left the laboratory.

He was going to return to the room, record what he saw and heard, hand it over to the Reiser Guard Secret Office, and send it to the Noxus Empire.

The booming development of Hex technology is enough to attract the attention of the Noxus Empire.

Perhaps it can be integrated with the Empire's black magic research.

Piltover, Goldsmith District.

Huo Jixing and Jarl walked on the street, looking at the hurried pedestrians nearby.

They had left the Midalda family's laboratory and were returning to the castle.

Huo Jixing looked around casually and saw many Piltover guards holding Hex standard rifles.

Even though the Evolution Day was approaching, the collapse of the Zodiac Basement still had a great impact.

Even the Evolution Day was stained with a layer of haze.

"Hmm?"

Huo Jixing's expression moved, and at the entrance and exit of the Goldsmith District, he saw a team of Piltover guards wearing special uniforms.

Most of these people have Hextech enhancements, and they are used for combat.

"It's the police team."

Jarl looked over and spoke in a concentrated voice.

"They are the elite force of the Piltover guards, usually guarding the parliament area."

"It seems that the parliament has made up its mind to eliminate the influence of the Zodiac Vault before the Evolution Day begins."

Huo Jixing nodded in disbelief, but the appearance of the Hextech mimic emerged in his mind.

He always had a hunch that the forces behind the Eye of Zaun were very ambitious, not just Hextech gems and Hextech stabilizers.

When returning to the castle, Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows and stopped.

He saw the people guarding the secret place of Rether at the gate of the castle, and his expression was slightly anxious.

"What happened?"
