The Glory of Noxus

"Is this a signal released in advance by the Noxian Empire?"

Jace's cold words hit the parliament hall like a steel hammer, attracting the attention of other members.

"I am just using the power given to me by the Noxian Empire." Huo Jixing chuckled.

Jace could not deny this, picked up the letter on the table and continued to read.

"In the port of Piltover, you did not wait for the Piltover guards to come and dealt with some thugs who were ravaging the port."

"Although this action helped the port, it blatantly violated the laws of Piltover."

"And not long ago in the Zodiac Vault, you ignored the presence of the Piltover law enforcement officer and took away the property belonging to the Zodiac Vault."

Jace raised the letter in his hand and looked at the members present.

"I have some intelligence information about Zaun here, and Mr. Huo Jixing also made a lot of noise in the dance corridor."

Jace stood up, with gold and red patterns on his white dress, symbolizing the noble status of a member of parliament.

The silence filled the parliament hall, almost freezing the air.

The parliamentarians looked at Huo Jixing, waiting for his answer.

But Huo Jixing was indifferent, standing there, looking around the parliamentarians calmly.

Suddenly.

The silent atmosphere turned into an invisible pressure, which made people breathless.

The parliamentarians began to feel a little uneasy, their eyes wandered around the conference table, and they would look at their companions from time to time.

Finally, Huo Jixing looked at Mel.

This member of the Midalda family is an important figure in the Piltover Parliament.

Mel no longer remained silent, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

"Jace, he is a consultant sent by the Noxus Empire to assist the Midalda family in solving some problems that the Piltover Parliament cannot handle."

"This is a secret order signed by the head of the family and me, and it has been approved by the parliament."

Mel picked up a piece of letter paper with the Midalda family emblem on the table and looked at Jess faintly.

Jace's sudden attack was beyond everyone's imagination.

He usually seemed steady and restrained, but now he seemed like a different person, with fierce words and firm attitude.

But she believed that this farce would end soon.

The current power and status of the Midalda family is inseparable from the Noxian Empire.

Mel thought of the meaning of the head of the family and his mother who had always been concerned about Huo Jixing.

Their family interests are closely linked to the interests of the Noxian Empire, which is why Mel could face Jace's attack so calmly.

She already knew that today's parliament was just a formality.

The merchant families and inventors of Piltover need a huge amount of wealth to support the current Hextech research.

They would never offend the Noxian Empire, nor would they let anyone destroy the current trade relations.

Jace looked at Mel's hands and saw a touch of confidence and determination in them, as if saying.

This is a fact. No matter how hard you try, you can't change the status of the Noxian Empire in the hearts of many parliamentarians.

Jayce tightly grasped the letter in his hand, his fingertips pierced through the paper, silently telling his inner struggle and contradiction.

The questions he asked seemed tricky, but in fact they were to protect Piltover's status.

At the same time, he was also exploring the true attitude of the Noxian Empire.

He had too many feelings for Piltover, and even if he understood the terrifying power of the Noxian Empire, he had to maintain a certain degree of independence.

Jayce's eyes flickered, thinking of the peace agreement he had reached with Hilco.

Zaun gained independence and left Piltover's jurisdiction.

The situation at that time was just like it is now.

"Trampling Piltover?"

Jayce looked down at the golden ring on his finger.

It is a symbol of the identity of Piltover councillors.

Compared with most of the councillors present, Jayce thought more and saw further.

Piltover was like a child holding a golden egg, without absolute power to protect this wealth.

Even after possessing Hextech.

It only gave Piltover the power to face some weak countries and forces.

But compared with the Noxian Empire.

Jace looked at everyone present, and when no one spoke, he let the letters slip from his hands and fall on the table.

The facts were before him, and he was powerless.

"For Piltover and Zaun, the Noxian Empire has no intention of conquering them."

Huo Jixing spoke at the right time, his voice firm and powerful, floating over the parliament hall.

"What the empire is pursuing now is stable development and trade prosperity. We are willing to maintain good trade relations with the members present."

Until Swain safely handles the internal problems of the empire, the Trifaree Parliament will never launch another war.

Bron Darkwill's damage to the empire and the Black Rose's plot deeply affect the empire's future strategy.

"But now, someone is secretly provoking conflicts in Piltover and affecting the interests of the empire."

Huo Jixing looked at Jayce deeply, as if he saw through his thoughts.

"Most importantly, they should never have attacked the Rathel Garrison and slaughtered the soldiers of the Rathel Garrison without reason."

"I don't think anyone here would allow such a restless force to exist, right?"

Professor Heimerdinger saw Jace sitting down in a somewhat dejected manner, and spoke in a steady voice.

"Piltover will maintain stable order in the city and thoroughly investigate the restless forces in the dark."

His eyes fell on Camille.

The Philos family has the most powerful intelligence system in Piltover, and their spies are spread across various industries.

"It was Silko's Eye of Zaun that resurrected and disrupted the order of Piltover and Zaun."

"And there are hidden forces behind it."

Camille leaned on the table and chair, a look of pity flashing in her eyes.

She originally wanted to test Huo Jixing's determination through Jace, but things did not develop as she expected.

"My suggestion is to thoroughly investigate Piltover and suspect that the secret tentacles are reaching out to the Chamber of Commerce family."

As soon as Camille finished speaking, Mel slowly raised her right hand and spoke softly.

"The Myrdalda family has no problem and can cooperate with the parliament's actions."

The congressmen seemed to have known about Camille for a long time.

Although Silko's Eye of Zaun brought countless disasters to Piltover and Zaun.

But the Piltover of today is no longer the Piltover of the past.

The councilors looked at Professor Heimerdinger and said one after another that there was no problem and they were willing to cooperate and maintain the stability of the city.

Among the many council members, Jess fell silent.

He sat in his seat with his eyes closed, as if trying to calm down his inner emotions.

Jace took a deep breath, and the huge red and black picture in Mel's room suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Is this the Noxus Empire?"

He saw that the council members around him were in a slightly anxious mood, and he agreed to Camille's proposal without any hesitation.

Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang!

Huo Jixing applauded gently, expressing satisfaction with the legislators who were aware of current affairs.

In his mind, reaching an agreement is the best solution.

Violence is his second choice and last resort.

Moreover, among the congressmen present, there were three heroes, and Caitlin, the police chief, was also present.

"I have a small object here that I need Professor Heimerdinger to take a look at."

Huo Jixing took out a metal square box from his waist.

Its surface is engraved with exquisite patterns and its packaging is gorgeous. It is very important to show what is inside.

Huo Jixing did not step forward, but extended his mental strength, gently lifted the metal square box, crossed the conference table, and placed it in front of Professor Heimerdinger.

In Piltover, the colleges can be divided into the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress and other colleges.

Rumor has it that the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress was born around the same time as Piltover.

And since the establishment of the college, many great inventors with outstanding reputations have emerged.

Many of them are heroes.

For example, the future guardian Jace, the mechanical pioneer Victor, and the alchemist Singed, etc.

As the dean, Professor Heimerdinger has become the idol of countless scholars with his profound knowledge.

"What's this?"

Professor Heimerdinger asked, caution and curiosity in his voice.

Huo Jixing laughed softly and said instead of answering directly.

"Professor, you will know after you open it and take a look."

Hearing this, Professor Heimerdinger stretched out his plush hands, carefully opened the metal square box in front of him, and saw the orange metal parts placed inside.

Jess also stood up and walked over, looking closely at the metal parts in the square box.

"It looks like a wrist part, somewhat humanoid, a bit like a Hex mimic."

Professor Heimerdinger's eyes tightened, and he saw a lot of familiar technologies in the metal parts.

As a yordle with a long life, Professor Heimerdinger has a deep and extensive knowledge of technology.

He is not limited to one subject, but has in-depth research on various technologies.

Professor Heimerdinger stared at the metal parts, lost in thought.

"This is not just a simple part, it also contains some technologies that we have not yet mastered or only speculated on."

Hex technology, alchemy technology and biotechnology, these are the areas that Piltover and Zaun are good at.

The metal part in front of me seems to integrate the characteristics of these technologies and shows new possibilities.

"Is this a technological product produced by the forces behind the Eye of Zaun?"

Jace withdrew his observation gaze, suppressed the fear in his heart, and looked up at Huo Jixing.

"Perhaps Professor Heimerdinger will give us the answer." Huo Jixing said with a smile.

Many of the metal parts of Project Source warriors were researched by Singed and were technology from the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress.

And this means that there may be betrayers within Heimerdinger's academy.

"I'll give you an explanation."

Professor Heimerdinger closed the metal square box and said solemnly to Huo Jixing.

In this meeting, Professor Heimerdinger's presence was not very strong.

But no one dares to comment on his status.

Therefore, Professor Heimerdinger's words surprised the MPs present.

Deep in their hearts, an uneasy feeling emerged.

Evolution Days before, the unimaginable could happen to Piltover.

"Yes, I hope Professor Heimerdinger can study the parts inside as soon as possible. This is related to the power behind the Eye of Zaun." Huo Jixing nodded.

After the meeting.

The MPs stood up and left the parliament hall in twos and threes.

There were different expressions on their faces, some were satisfied, some were worried.

Huo Jixing and Camille walked side by side and left the parliament hall.

On the other side, Jace and Professor Heimerdinger left together, and Caitlin followed them.

As everyone left, the parliament hall gradually became empty.

However, the impact of this meeting was far from over.

Still Water Prison

is located on an island south of the Pilt River.

Under the dim night, the area was shrouded in mist, as if a mysterious veil was cast over the buildings in the center of the island.

Huo Jixing stood on the shore, looking at the cold buildings from a distance.

This prison is the most strictly detained place in Piltover, where many serious criminals and dangerous elements are detained.

"Still Water Prison is directly under the jurisdiction of the parliament." Camille walked out of the dark shadows.

"There is almost no communication with the outside world. Only when prisoners are detained will there be news."

She looked at Huo Jixing in front of her and said in a serious voice: "Are you sure you want to go in now?"
