The Glory of Noxus

Middar Castle.

Jagu stood on the white jade balcony, looking at the dawn glow gradually rising in the distance.

The crimson glow seemed to be a carefully blended color, soaking the thick clouds and sprinkling the endless buildings.

Everything in the distance gradually calmed down under the illumination of the dawn glow.

The wind stopped whistling, the drizzle disappeared quietly, and the roaring waves also poured into the Sea of ​​Watchers.

The buildings that once towered into the clouds are now only broken walls and ruins, telling the prosperity and glory of the past.

Storm Fury·Janna!

Jagu thought of the wind elf he had just seen, and his heart could not calm down for a long time, and ripples appeared in his deep eyes.

In many mythological stories.

Janna is the oldest existence guarding Piltover and Zaun.

But the time is too long.

So long that several generations have passed away, so long that everything is recorded in dilapidated books.

Some people believe, some question, and some keep a normal mind to treat it.

However, now, people who have experienced the disaster of death will once again believe in this ancient and mysterious wind spirit.

Jia Gu retracted his gaze, put on a red gown with gold edges, and sat down on the soft sofa.

He was waiting for news, waiting for the final result of the battle of Jingshui Prison.

In the silent study.

Time passed slowly, and every second that passed seemed to be stretched, making people feel the heaviness of time.

Jia Gu was like an old and wealthy businessman, no longer as shrewd as before, immersed in his own thoughts,

From the dawn of dawn until the sun slanted at noon, the study was always quiet and silent.

Until the subtle footsteps sounded, breaking the silent atmosphere.

Jia Gu sat up straight, put his hands in front of him, and looked over the desk and cast his eyes at the door of the study.

Butler Xi Luo appeared at the door with slightly hurried steps.

He looked solemn, completely different from his usual amiable and amiable appearance.

The gemstone monocle on his left eye reflects the anxiety in his pupil, as if something shocking has happened.

"Master, there is an emergency that needs your attention."

Butler Hero walked in front of Jagu, bowed and spoke, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Jagu nodded, motioning Butler Hero to continue.

Butler Hero thought of the news he had received, took a deep breath, and began to narrate the news and intelligence he had received.

The atmosphere in the study also became solemn.

[The mutiny in Jingshui Prison, the laboratory hidden at the bottom of the prison. ]

[Entering the laboratory, unexpectedly encountered the attack of the Eye of Zaun. ]

In addition, there were interceptions by Dr. Mundo and Jinx. ]

[See the secret experimental base. ]

[Including the twilight area, the alchemical biological area, the Hextech area, etc. ]

[The existence of the Project Warriors, and the terrifying strength they have shown. ]

[Victor's glorious evolution. ]

[Unauthorized human experiments that violate the bottom line of morality, including experiments on the fusion of human anatomical structure and technological components. ]

[The final experiment, a Hextech mecha made with Vladimir's blood and blood magic. ]

[The actions of Huo Jixing and Vladimir caused the Pilt River to backflow]

[Leading to the marginalization of Piltover and turning it into a ruin. ]

After speaking, Butler Hiro paused, looked at Jagu, and said cautiously.

"After the battle, Lord Huo Jixing seemed to have disappeared, and no trace of him has been found so far."

When Jagu heard this, a blush appeared on his old face, and his sharp and deep eyes met Hiro's eyes.

"Are you sure?"

Butler Hiro nodded solemnly.

"It has been confirmed!"

"Members of the Parliament mobilized all nearby Piltover guards and searched the ruins, but no trace of Lord Huo Jixing has been found."

He looked up at Jagu, whose expression kept changing, and continued to speak.

"But they didn't find the body of Lord Huo Jixing either."

Jia Gu frowned, crossed his hands, and his finger bones turned pale.

Huo Jixing's unexpected disappearance would put the Midalda family in a dilemma.

If the Noxus Empire issued a reprimand for this, it might shake the power of the Midalda family.

"Immediately arrange it, and let all the people in the Chamber of Commerce and the family go there to assist the parliament in the search."

Before Butler Hiro could answer, heavy footsteps came into the study.

Bang!

The wooden door engraved with exquisite patterns was pushed open fiercely, hitting the wall and making a deafening echo.

Yusir.

The head of the Raiser Guard Secret Office, who was wearing metal armor, appeared at the door with a gloomy look, and his eyes fell on Jia Gu.

Her slender legs stepped on the soft carpet, giving off a metallic luster.

Seeing Yusir, the atmosphere in the study instantly became tense.

Jia Gu looked at Yusir, sighed lightly, and a hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

The appearance of Yusir means that the Reser Garrison has received the news from Huo Jixing.

Although the Reser Garrison had suffered a heavy blow before.

But the power of the Noxus Empire in Piltover should not be underestimated.

"Yusir, why are you here?" Jagu said softly.

Facing the head of the Reser Garrison, he naturally lowered his posture.

Yusir did not answer immediately, but walked in front of Jagu, and the metal prosthetic eye was as sharp as a knife, staring straight into Jagu's eyes.

After a moment, she spoke, with a decisive tone in her voice.

"Master Huo Jixing is missing."

"I already know about it. I just gave the order to mobilize all the forces in the Chamber of Commerce and the family to find Master Huo Jixing." Jia Gu replied in a deep voice.

Butler Xi Luo observed the expression and immediately bowed and said, "Master Yuxier, I am just about to organize the forces."

Yuxier's metal prosthetic eye looked between Jia Gu and Butler Xi Luo, and finally nodded slowly.

She didn't have much to do now. The Raiser Guard Secret House was severely damaged and there was a shortage of manpower.

"With Master Huo Jixing's strength, he won't fall so easily." Jia Gu comforted Yuxier.

Yuxier was thoughtful and looked at Jia Gu deeply.

Then she suppressed her inner emotions and quickly left the study.

Butler Xi Luo looked at Yuxier's disappearing back, stood quietly in place, waiting for orders.

Jia Gu's eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, he gave an order.

"Notify Jarl and ask him to take people to find Lord Huo Jixing."

"As for you, lead people to the Pilt River in person to salvage the Hextech experiments of the forces behind the Eye of Zaun."

"It would be best to have stored experimental data, which is the most important thing at the moment."

Jago knew that this battle had brought irreparable losses to Piltover.

But at the same time, he also saw the hope of change brought by the experimental base.

The experimental subjects created by Hextech are comparable to legendary extraordinary people.

And the existence of the Project Warriors proves that the path of Hextech can continue to move forward.

"Glorious evolution?"

Jago couldn't help but think of the concept that Victor had once proposed, which had a great impact on Piltover at that time.

The iron heart never stops beating and is not controlled by emotions.

Then why do people still entrust their lives to the fragile flesh and blood heart muscle?

"We should make a choice."

Zaun, Gorsk Castle

In a silent laboratory.

Renata stood in front of the workbench, operating the Gorsk Industrial Decanter in front of her.

Corrosion marks can be seen on Renata's arms and abdomen, with blood-colored energy remaining.

A touch of magenta light scanned her injuries.

She quickly took corresponding measures and used alchemical compounds to heal her injuries.

"Legendary power?"

Renata thought of the destruction scene she saw on the edge of Piltover before, and her eyes were full of fanaticism.

She was ready to provoke a rebellion at the last opportunity.

Every Gorrask product sold to Piltover and Zaun has a secret layer.

Her parents' alchemical technology secret medicine is sealed inside, and it can be released at any time as long as she gives an order-the side effects take effect immediately, controlling all those who have Gorrask products.

But the fierce battle she saw in the end made her give up her inner thoughts.

"The power of Hextech. I have a new idea."

Renata walked out of the laboratory, looked up at the azure sky, and the environment of Piltover was reflected in her eyes.

Although there was no wind and rain for a long time, it has returned to its former clarity and brightness.

But there are still some traces of the disaster.

With the arrival of Evolution Day.

Piltover has regained a prosperous and noisy atmosphere.

Piltover, the Gate of the Sun.

Far to the east, there is a vast sea.

The Sea of ​​the Watchers!

This sea is slightly different from the Sea of ​​the Conquerors. It is not a simple trade channel.

It is a chaotic place where wealth and pirates are intertwined, and it is much bloodier.

There are countless pirates, smugglers, smugglers, etc., which makes the sea full of a strong smell of blood.

Every year, countless ships rush from all directions to the depths of the sea, a sea archipelago far away from the mainland.

On the dark sea surface.

There is a black ship cutting through the waves and moving forward quickly.

Its hull is extremely hideous, as if it is a ferocious sea beast, ready to swallow the prey in its mouth at any time.

A huge crossbow is placed at the front of the bow, and the sharp arrow flashes with cold light.

The hulls were covered with empty gun muzzles, like the eyes of a giant beast, staring at the calm ocean with indifference and cruelty.

These gun muzzles could fire deadly shells, turning any enemy who dared to approach into ashes.

The most eye-catching thing was the blood-red sail raised on the ship.

It fluttered in the wind, like blood-red wings, cutting through the blue sea surface.

"Hey, Sok, your slave hasn't woken up yet?"

On the deck, a fat pirate with a scimitar hanging on his waist spoke, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

Not far from him, a half-grown child was cleaning the stains and blood on the ship.

"It seems that your silver snake coins are going to go down the drain, auctioning off a useless slave."

Hearing this, Sok raised his handsome face after drying and shook his head gently.

"He is mine, this is the rule set by the captain."

"Even if he doesn't wake up now, I will take him back to Bilgewater."

The fat pirate walked in front of Sok, looking down at the newly joined crew member with gloomy eyes.

"Hey, in this case, your loss may be more than one Silver Snake Coin."

"If you give it to me now, I can give you half a Silver Snake Coin."
