The Glory of Noxus

Deep in Zaun.

Singed's alchemy laboratory.

Huo Jixing pushed open the heavy iron door with traces of repair, and walked along the flat metal corridor into the core laboratory.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, a low howl came into Huo Jixing's ears.

Following the source of the sound, he saw Zaun's angry beast Warwick being imprisoned in a glass cage made of ribbed steel.

The wild posture of the past was gone, and the sturdy limbs were connected to a transparent alchemy pipeline, and green blood flowed slowly.

The sophisticated and complex liquid storage tank on the back had been removed, and the body wrapped in dark green hair seemed to have drained all its strength and looked extremely weak.

Huo Jixing also noticed that Warwick's forelimbs that he had cut off before had regenerated more than half, and the sharp claws of the blades had also emerged.

Even though it was so miserable, the wildness and ferocity in Warwick's eyes did not diminish at all, on the contrary, it became more intense.

Smelling Huo Jixing's breath, Warwick immediately turned his head, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and he roared in a low voice, trying to break free from the restraints of the alchemical pipe.

But obviously, he was a little powerless now, and could only vent his impotent rage.

Huo Jixing ignored Warwick, crossed the cage, walked to the alchemical workbench, and saw Singed busy.

"Is it over?"

Hearing the footsteps, Singed looked back and saw Huo Jixing, with a slightly surprised look.

He was wearing an old white robe, holding a glass vessel in his hand, and was concentrating on preparing the potion.

On the alchemical workbench in front of him, glass test tubes were hung at different heights, and the liquids inside were colorful and bubbles would rise from time to time.

At the same time, these colorful liquids exuded different smells, some pungent, some fragrant, mixed together, a little unpleasant.

"It's not the end, but the beginning."

Huo Jixing recalled the battle that had just ended and shook his head gently.

Then he looked at the scene in the laboratory, and couldn't help but admire Singed in his heart.

As soon as the transaction was completed, he returned to his own laboratory and devoted himself to alchemy research.

Huo Jixing could only praise Singed in one sentence.

Don't be afraid of others being more talented than you, just be afraid that people who are more talented than you work harder than you.

Singed, the alchemist who enjoys a high reputation in Zaun and Piltover, still maintains his endless love for alchemy.

Snap! Snap!

Two pieces of metal parts of different colors fell on the alchemy workbench, attracting Singed's attention.

"An unexpected harvest, help me see what the craftsmanship and materials are." Huo Jixing asked.

Singed saw the solemnity on Huo Jixing's face and put down the glassware in his hand.

Then his eyes fell on the two pieces of metal parts on the alchemy workbench.

Singed frowned slightly, as if he was surprised by the two pieces of metal parts.

One is orange-yellow and the other is purple, which looks like a precision part of the wrist.

From the smooth marks left on the edge, it can be confirmed that it was cut directly with a sharp weapon.

And he also saw traces of self-destruction inside the part.

"Self-destruction program?"

Thinking of Huo Jixing's terrifying strength, Singed nodded slowly.

Then, he reached out and gently picked up the purple metal part and observed it carefully.

Originally, Singed had a cold expression.

But after observing, his pupils shrank instantly, and his movements became extremely cautious.

Although no emotional changes could be seen from the necrotic facial nerves.

But Huo Jixing could still sense Singed's inner shock.

"Where did you get this?"

Singed carefully observed the part in his hand, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

He turned the direction of the purple metal part and observed the details from different angles.

Its surface is very soft and smooth, and after fine grinding and processing, it has a touch like human skin.

"This craftsmanship and this material."

Without waiting for Huo Jixing's answer, Singed continued to mutter to himself, with a strong interest in his eyes.

"I saw traces of Hextech and alchemy. No, that's not right. Is this blood instead of lubricant?"

In the broken wrist parts, he saw liquid similar to mercury, glass blood vessels and thin metal veins.

Singed looked fanatical, and couldn't wait to use the alchemy workbench to further test and analyze the two metal parts.

Huo Jixing looked at Singed quietly, with some expectations in his heart.

As an alchemist, Singed has a very in-depth study and understanding of metals and alchemy.

Perhaps he will analyze some information from these two metal parts.

As time passed.

Singed, who was busy at the alchemy workbench, gradually entered an excited state.

He used his alchemy tools to conduct a comprehensive analysis and research on the two metal parts.

The more in-depth the research, the more excited Singed became.

Whether it was the internal structure or the subtle power fluctuations observed by special instruments, he felt refreshed.

"Incredible!"

"Incredible!"

Singed raised his head and looked at Huo Jixing, saying "incredible" twice, with uncontrollable excitement and surprise in his tone.

"The craftsmanship and materials of these two metal parts are definitely not something that can be made with Zaun's existing technology."

"They seem to be a fusion of Hextech and alchemy technology, and I also saw the ingredients of the Glimmer Potion."

"And they seem to have some unknown technology and secrets."

Singed's eyes flickered, realizing that there was definitely a secret behind the two metal parts in front of him.

And this secret could have a huge impact on his alchemy research.

Not only alchemy, but also Hextech, which no one dared to question.

"After the research just now, I also gained something here."

"I decomposed the cells and genes belonging to humans from the liquid remaining in these metal parts."

Singed picked up a glass vessel and shook it gently.

I saw a silver substance sinking into the almost transparent liquid.

It mixed with the liquid to form a dense bead that attached to the bottom.

"Human cells and genes?"

Huo Jixing thought of the two Project Warriors who had just self-destructed, and his heart moved.

Project Judgment and Project Purification corresponded to Wei and Vayne.

"Wait, Vayne?"

Huo Jixing frowned and quickly recalled the Piltover caravan he had encountered in the Kingdom of Demacia before.

"It's not such a coincidence, is it?"

"Windrip Town, demons, injured Vayne, and the Piltover caravan that left in a hurry after the battle."

"Is the power behind the Eye of Zaun secretly collecting the flesh and blood cells of all heroes on the Valoran continent?"

Huo Jixing was suddenly startled by the idea that popped up in his mind and felt inexplicably shocked.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his restless thoughts.

Then he thought carefully and felt that it seemed to be really possible.

Singed noticed Huo Jixing's mood changes and thought he had discovered something, so he waited a little eagerly.

However, Huo Jixing did not directly say his guess.

Because such a terrifying guess requires more evidence to verify and support, he decided to keep it secret for the time being.

"Can you help me analyze their composition?"

Huo Jixing spoke in a serious voice, leading the topic back to the analysis of metal parts.

He hoped to get closer to the truth by understanding the composition of the metal parts of the Project Warriors.

Singed suppressed the disappointment deep in his heart, nodded, and understood what Huo Jixing meant.

"Of course, but I need some time, and I'm going to move out of this alchemy lab."

"It's not safe here anymore."

When Huo Jixing heard what Singed said, he immediately understood what he meant.

He looked around and saw many alchemy experiment items placed in the corner, which looked like they were going to move.

Indeed, whether it was his arrival or Warwick's raid, this alchemy lab was no longer secret.

This used to be an unknown secret base, but now it may have become the target of some people.

Especially the Eye of Zaun and the forces behind it lurking in the dark.

After losing two Project Origin fighters, they will definitely be more careful, and any excessive actions will not be surprising.

"Don't worry, I will never leave. I want to meet the people behind such interesting scientific research."

Singed looked at the two metal parts on the alchemy workbench, and his eyes glowed with a different brilliance.

"I will also do my best to analyze them and find out their secrets."

Huo Jixing looked satisfied. With Singed's help, he was one step closer to uncovering the secrets of these two metal parts.

"Can we go to Piltover?"

"I have a connection with the Midalda family and can use their Hextech lab."

Singed looked at Huo Jixing deeply and nodded in agreement.

He had already realized that chaos was coming and wanted to find a more secret lab.

But now there is such an interesting thing,

he will not give up no matter what and will study the things behind it at all costs.

Even if he sacrifices his reason and life.

"It is better to obey than to be respectful. I have heard of the name of the Midalda family's Hextech lab for a long time, but I have never been in it."

Singed continued to immerse himself in his research, and new ideas and hypotheses would emerge in his mind from time to time.

He tried to verify these ideas in new ways and unlock the secrets behind the metal parts.

However, due to the alchemical instruments in the laboratory, he did not get much useful experimental data.

Even so, he still invested a lot of time and used various instruments and reagents to conduct detailed chemical composition analysis of metal parts.

Gradually, Singed discovered some interesting phenomena and laws.

This made him more curious about the source and use of metal parts.

Two days later.

During this time, Huo Jixing did not leave the alchemy laboratory.

He helped Singed dismantle some useful alchemy equipment and protect the safety of the alchemy laboratory.

To prevent someone from destroying the laboratory again and threatening Singed's life.

While moving, Singed also took time to study the Origin Project parts.

However, this busy life ended after Huo Jixing met the hunchbacked man Donier.

"Urgot is in danger and seeks my help?"
