The Glory of Noxus

"Something happened?"

Huo Jixing looked at the middle-aged man in front of the gate of Midarda Castle from a distance, with ripples in his deep eyes.

He had met the middle-aged man in the Leiser Guard Secret Hall on the Avenue of Stars, and he was Yousiel's assistant.

It's just that according to the secret regulations of Leiser's garrison, he should never appear in Myrdalda Castle.

Jial stopped when he saw Huo Jixing and quickly noticed the situation in front of the castle gate.

"Do you need me to come out and drive him away?"

He seemed to be aware of Huo Jixing's embarrassment, a different emotion flashed across his honest face, and he took the initiative to speak out.

"Need not."

Huo Jixing turned around, looked at Jial deeply, shook his head slowly, and rejected his kindness.

Although Huo Jixing didn't understand why the middle-aged man found Midarda Castle.

But there must be something very important that can make a middle-aged man violate the secret regulations of the Leiser Guard Corps.

Immediately, Huo Jixing vaguely thought of something, his expression changed, and he walked over quickly.

In front of Myrdalda Castle.

Butler Hero was informed by the castle guards and was receiving the middle-aged man who looked anxious in front of him.

In a simple exchange, Butler Shiro knew that the middle-aged man was here to see Huo Jixing.

However, when he told the news that Huo Jixing was out, the middle-aged man immediately expressed his willingness to wait in front of the castle gate until Huo Jixing returned.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man stood quietly in front of the castle door, falling into silence and saying no more.

With his many years of experience and keen observation, Butler Hiro had a vague insight into the middle-aged man's identity and allowed him to stay in front of the castle gate.

"Lord Huo Jixing!"

When Butler Shiro saw the returning figures of Huo Jixing and Jia Er from a distance, he immediately said respectfully.

The middle-aged man turned around when he heard the sound, his eyes brightened, and he quickly walked towards Huo Jixing.

"I've met Master Huo Jixing."

The middle-aged man has a resolute face, and there is an unhidden urgency in his tired look.

Perhaps he was in a hurry, as the clothes he wore still had traces of battle, and there were still untreated blood stains on the corners of his clothes.

Just as the middle-aged man was about to speak, his eyes fell on Jial beside him, hesitating slightly.

"Jael, please go back first, I have some things to deal with."

Huo Jixing patted Jar's shoulder and immediately led the middle-aged man out of Myrdalda Castle.

"They are from the Noxus Empire!"

Butler Hiro walked behind Jal, looked at the direction where Huo Jixing and the middle-aged man disappeared, and spoke softly.

"The remaining traces of the battle, the blood-stained clothes that haven't been dealt with yet."

"I think they were attacked in Piltover. Should we arrange for someone to investigate?"

Jarre withdrew his gaze, let out a breath, and wanted to nod in agreement.

But he thought of Huo Jixing's expression just now. After pondering for a while, he slowly shook his head.

Although the Myrdalda family is far away from the core of the empire, they still have good relations within the Noxus Empire.

They knew that the Empire had unknown hidden forces throughout Valoran.

According to Steward Hero's guess, the middle-aged man just now should be a latent force installed by the Noxus Empire in Piltover.

And this involves the Trifali Council and His Majesty Swain, which is far beyond the Myrdalda family's ability to intervene.

"Go back and report it to father."

Jal left a word and returned to the castle.

Recent events have made him, the heir of the Myrdalda family, physically and mentally exhausted.

It would be better to refuse his father's order at the beginning, stay in the Shurima continent, and explore around in search of ancient holy objects.

After leaving the castle.

Huo Jixing led the middle-aged man on the street, heading back to Xingxing Avenue.

"Tell me, what happened?"

The middle-aged man fell behind Huo Jixing. After hearing the question, he spoke immediately.

"Sir Yousil was accidentally attacked when he was investigating what you told him to do. He is now seriously injured and unconscious."

"Sure enough, something happened to Kalida." Huo Jixing thought to himself.

"When did this happen?"

"Just last night, someone quietly followed our people and raided the secret place." The middle-aged man replied.

"The incident happened suddenly and we suffered heavy losses. Master Youshil also suffered heavy losses during the raid."

While the two were talking, they had arrived at the Avenue of the Stars, and saw from afar in front of the tavern, Piltover guards on guard, separating the crowds of onlookers.

Huo Jixing walked over and saw that wherever he looked, the scene was very messy.

The originally quiet and cozy tavern now looks dilapidated, and the facade has been severely damaged.

The heavy wooden door was completely broken and lost its former strength.

Inside the tavern, the walls were cracked, tables and chairs were broken, and the floor was full of broken wine bottles. It was very messy.

The moment he saw the tavern, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly became serious, and anxiety and worry flashed in his eyes.

He immediately prepared to rush into the tavern, but was intercepted by Piltover guards.

The Piltover guards looked at the middle-aged man warily, raising the Hextech standard rifles in their hands and aiming them at the target.

The middle-aged man was a little annoyed at the interception by the Piltover guards, and tried to explain his identity and let himself into the tavern.

However, the Piltover guards were indifferent and insisted on their duties, not allowing anyone to enter this broken tavern at will.

Huo Jixing looked at the Picheng guards who were waiting around him, thinking deeply.

Someone openly attacked the tavern in daylight, attracting Piltover guards. The intention was simple: to reveal the true identity of the tavern.

Huo Jixing laughed softly and walked towards the Pi City guard who intercepted the middle-aged man.

Because he saw someone familiar.

Caitlin, who was walking slowly in the tavern, frowned slightly as if she noticed the gaze falling on her.

She followed the source of her gaze and looked extremely surprised when she saw Huo Jixing.

"Your Excellency Huo Jixing, why are you here? Things here are none of your business."

Caitlin motioned to the Piltover guards to step aside, and her strange eyes fell on Huo Jixing and the middle-aged man who walked in.

"This is the pub I just bought, and I'm going to taste Piltover's fine wines."

Huo Jixing took out the wine bottle he was carrying, took a sip and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect to be attacked. I will investigate this matter personally."

Caitlin immediately understood the meaning of Huo Jixing's words. She looked at the dilapidated tavern behind her. After hesitating for a while, she nodded slowly.

"Okay, I'll take them away right now."

Her regression was not only due to the Myrdalda family behind Huo Jixing, but also to Huo Jixing's terrifying strength.

Just at this time, Wei walked down from the second floor of the tavern.

Her originally excited expression quickly faded away after seeing Huo Jixing, and was replaced by solemnity and seriousness.

Wei heard Caitlin and Huo Jixing talking, and seemed to notice something. She glanced back at the second floor of the tavern without trace.

Huo Jixing noticed Wei's arrival and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Caitlin looked at her partner, noticed her blinking eyes, and stepped forward to whisper a few words.

Then they led the Piltover guards out of the tavern.

On the street of Stellar Avenue.

Caitlin and Wei walked side by side until they were far away from the tavern and could no longer see Huo Jixing.

"I smell the barbaric atmosphere of the Noxus Empire." Wei Ning said.

"The people who survived in the tavern should be spies from the Noxus Empire."

When Caitlin heard this, her eyes trembled and her heart stirred up.

The relationship between the Myrdalda family and the Noxus Empire is no secret among the upper echelons of Piltover.

In addition to the Myrdalda family, there are also many chamber of commerce families that maintain close cooperative relations with the Noxus Empire.

But now, even the hidden strongholds of the Noxian Empire have been attacked, which shows that the situation in Piltover has become dire.

“May the gears turn in the right direction!”

Caitlin looked at the Hex Flying Gate in the distance and whispered in her heart.

Inside the ruined tavern.

Huo Jixing looked at the messy environment and motioned to the middle-aged man to stay.

He walked along the mostly collapsed stairs to the second floor.

The red golden light filled his eyes, and Huo Jixing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the clouds rising in front of him.

Ignoring the corridor that was hit by the aftermath of the battle, he quickly came to Youshil's room.

Huo Jixing slowly pushed open the wooden door, and the rich smell of blood immediately filled his nose.

He frowned slightly, but did not stop and continued walking into the room.

In the dilapidated room, someone was taking care of Yousil. When he saw Huo Jixing's arrival, he immediately stood up and saluted.

Huo Jixing nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, then walked to the bed and looked down at the unconscious Youshir.

The once delicate face was now mostly skinless, with flesh, flesh and steel completely exposed, which was particularly shocking.

Her slim figure was also covered with bloodstains, and occasionally lightning flashes could be seen.

Huo Jixing also noticed that most of the Hextech enhanced body on Yousil's body was destroyed.

The thin golden lines lost their connecting devices and were entangled in the flesh and blood, looking chaotic and painful.

What shocked Huo Jixing the most was that Yousiel completely lost her left arm. Electric light and wires emerged from the broken arm, as if telling the pain and struggle she had experienced.

Huo Jixing took a deep breath and tried to calm down his mood.

He knew that Yousiel needed his help and treatment now.

He waved to signal the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps beside him to leave, and then his spirit extended and landed on Youshil.

"Steel and flesh, and Hextech enhancements."

Huo Jixing stared at Youxier's bloody face, opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of green light.

The energy of Donghua Yimu!

The power originating from the Azure Dragon Star fell on Yousiel's flesh and blood body.

Just a moment.

Whether it is the body covered with bloodstains or the parts with bloody flesh, they are recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a cough sounded.

Youhil struggled to open his blood-colored eyes and wanted to say something loudly, but after seeing Huo Jixing, he was about to struggle to get up.

"Lord Huo Jixing!"

"It's okay, just lie down first."

Huo Jixing looked at Youshil's pale face, with complex emotions welling up in his heart.

Only then did Yousil react. Looking at the familiar room environment, his tense heartstrings completely relaxed.

Although she didn't know why she recovered so quickly, she understood it when she thought of Huo Jixing's strength.

"Carida is missing!"

Thinking of what he had discovered in the lower urban area last night, Yosiel looked slightly helpless and sad.

She clearly remembered the scene when Kalida was still in the shop during the day. Everything was so normal at that time that it was difficult to predict the changes that were about to happen.

When night fell, the shop suddenly became quiet, and Yoshir, who was secretly monitoring it, immediately realized something was wrong.

She immediately broke into the store, but was horrified to find that Kalida and her child had completely disappeared.

Even though she and her subordinates searched the store carefully, they found nothing. It seemed that Kalida had left long ago.

But Youshil understood that Kalida disappeared right under his nose.

Such a silent and colorless disappearance made Youshil feel indescribable fear.

Yousil left the shop with a gloomy expression, preparing to report his mistake to Huo Jixing.

But late at night, the Reiser Guard Secret Office was suddenly attacked.

The soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps in the tavern suffered heavy losses, and they themselves were no match for their opponents and almost died.

Fortunately, at the expense of his own left arm, he barely managed to repel the attackers and successfully protected the remaining soldiers and the secret place.

"The people who attacked us are very powerful, and there are also many people transformed by Hex Technology."

Yousil's narration made the air seem to freeze. What she discovered in the lower urban area last night was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her.

Then her blood-colored eyes widened, and a fierce look filled them.

"But I still noticed their hidden emblem, which is the Eye of Zaun!"

Huo Jixing nodded slowly and used Donghua Yimu's energy to comb Youxier's body again.

After he was done with it, he called the middle-aged man and the surviving soldiers of the Reese Guard Corps, and left the tavern with the seriously injured Yosiel.

In front of Myrdalda Castle.

Huo Jixing was talking to Steward Shiro about something, and was preparing to use the Midalda family's laboratory to restore Youshil's left arm.

When leaving, he noticed Yousil's gaze and smiled softly.

Noxians are accustomed to paying with blood.

What's more, he asked Yousil to investigate secretly, so he would naturally take responsibility.

Lower urban area.

Huo Jixing relied on familiar memories and came to Kalida's old shop again.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of the shop are made of blue-colored glass with hazy dust, which is no different from before.

Huo Jixing strolled to the door of the shop, gently pushed open the iron door, and the hanging bell made a crisp sound.

His eyes moved around the shop. The goods on the wooden shelves on both sides were scattered in an orderly manner, with no trace of movement.

"The purpose is clear,"

Huo Jixing paused for a moment at these items and slowly entered the studio at the back.

It's still the same as before, the remains of alchemy technology products, and the technology products just finished on the workbench.

"Disappear silently?"

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed when he thought of Youxier's description.

Then he closed his eyes, and his spiritual power covered the shop.

Time disappeared little by little, and Huo Jixing still stopped in place.

Until a certain moment, he opened his eyes and his eyes fell on the technological products prepared on the workbench.

Huo Jixing walked over and picked up the exquisite technology product. The metal casing was painted with colorful colors and looked slightly sturdy.

Click!

With gentle pressure from your fingers, the metal shell shattered and fell on the workbench, making a sound.

Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and saw a rolled up note inside.

He reached out and took out the note, unwrapped the wire, and read through it.

"I saw my brother. I also heard a word, Yuan Plan!"

The contents of the note seemed to have been left in a hurry and the handwriting was sloppy.

Especially the last three words left heavy traces, almost breaking the paper.

Source plan!
