The Glory of Noxus

Dawn cuts through the darkness.

The golden glow spread over the outer city of Bilgewater, covering this busy port city with a layer of armor.

In the backyard of the tavern, Huo Jixing put down the letter in his hand, and a different emotion flashed in his eyes.

Since the dethronement of the bandit king Gangplank, Bilgewater is in the stage of power transfer.

Several of the most prominent captains are discussing the future of the city.

Among them, Miss Fortune and the Siren are the most powerful and are likely to become the next rulers.

"Miss Fortune Sarah!"

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on the letters in front of him, thinking.

In the intelligence information of the Raiser Guard Secret Station, there are countless figures behind Gangplank's dethronement.

And Miss Fortune Sarah can be said to have contributed the most, and at the same time, she has played everyone around.

Of course, Sarah's ability is also outstanding, otherwise she would not have such great power now.

Beside him, Yosip had already written his report based on what Huo Jixing had said.

He was going to send it back to the Noxus Empire later.

You should know that this information was related to the reward promised by His Majesty Swain himself.

The reward was so generous that it was enough for him to make further progress in the Resser Garrison.

When Yosip saw Huo Jixing standing up, he quickly put away his letter, put it into the cylinder, and walked over quickly.

The tavern was located on a higher ground with a very wide view.

Huo Jixing stood in front of the window, looking at the long buildings below, and could see the busy Bilgewater people in the outer city.

They were either selling things or handling goods shipped from all directions, and some people gathered together to discuss upcoming work or look for new opportunities.

The hunting ships and sailors who braved the wind and waves brought endless prosperity and opportunities to Bilgewater Bay.

But it was the ordinary people who really supported this port city.

Their efforts and dedication added endless vitality to this port city.

Huo Jixing has been to many cities, and only Bilgewater can create such a strange scene.

Pirates, sea hunters, dock gangs, smugglers, etc. are intertwined with the lives of ordinary people.

[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Pupils]!

Huo Jixing's eyes suddenly burst into red-gold flames, reflecting a small area of ​​Bilgewater.

In the field of vision, many colorful clouds rose up, like gorgeous fireworks, breaking through the sky.

The most eye-catching was a dark green cloud, which covered the surrounding clouds like a bright moon.

"It's the direction of the Nagakabouros Temple."

Huo Jixing's eyes were fixed on the dark green cloud, and his thoughts surged.

Something must have happened in Bilgewater and the Blue Flame Islands.

And it was hidden from the Reiser Guard Secret House.

Otherwise, the Nagakabouros Temple would not suddenly descend on the miracle, nor would there be such a strong extraordinary fluctuation.

Huo Jixing recalled the Holy Lance Ranger Lucian he had seen in the reef sea area, and became more and more certain of his guess.

"Is there a place to buy extraordinary items in Bilgewater?"

Huo Jixing turned his head and looked at Yosip who was quietly waiting beside him.

He was going to buy some extraordinary items to improve his strength.

At the same time, he also asked Reiser to guard the secret place to secretly investigate the situation in Bilgewater.

If only Gangplank returned, he might be able to fish in troubled waters and continue to use the identity of a thief to steal extraordinary items.

"Yes."

Yosip nodded slightly and spoke in a deep voice.

"Bilgewater is a pirate city. Many people fled here to avoid trial and persecution."

"They carry a lot of extraordinary items with them. When they are short of silver snake coins, they will sell them to the black market."

"If Lord Huo Jixing needs it, I can take you to the black market."

"But."

Yosip's tone paused for a while and continued to speak.

"Most of these extraordinary items have problems, which may affect their use."

"It doesn't matter."

Huo Jixing shook his head.

He didn't care whether the extraordinary items were used, as long as they could be decomposed into essence.

After confirming the itinerary for the evening, he asked Yosip to do his own thing.

Temple of Nagakaporos.

Located in the central area of ​​Bilgewater Bay, it is the core of the Baru people's residence.

This is not only where they live, but also the most sacred and solemn holy place in their hearts.

The walls of the temple have been baptized by the years, leaving mottled traces.

There are ancient murals engraved on them, telling the history and legends of the Baru people.

The top of the temple is covered with lush green plants.

These plants extend downward, clinging to the walls like green waterfalls, adding a touch of natural vitality to the temple.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the ground, forming mottled light and shadow, making the temple more solemn and mysterious.

Entering the temple, stone pillars stand one after another, and the murals around them depict a huge sea monster head with tentacles coiled around it.

The hall of the temple at this moment is solemn and solemn.

A woman wearing a very complex and colorful robe sits quietly on the ground.

She closes her eyes and thinks, as if communicating with the soul of the temple.

Suddenly, she seems to sense something, and her golden eyes slowly open.

"Someone is spying on the temple!"

A dull voice like thunder sounded, waking up the other priests in the temple.

The priests woke up from their meditation one after another, looking at the woman in colorful robes at the front with shocked expressions on their faces.

"Is it about to start? But the time has not come yet."

An old priestess spoke, her wrinkled face revealing wisdom and composure.

"No it's not them."

The woman in colorful robes shook her head, her golden pupils shining with determination.

She stood up slowly, showing an extremely majestic figure, like an unshakable mountain.

As she spoke, she looked in the direction of the outer city and spoke softly.

"It should be from an alien supernatural being."

"Are they the reinforcements sent by the Sentinel of Light?"

The old priestess thought of the bright sentinels that appeared at the slaughter dock, with a hint of doubt in her voice.

"Maybe"

The woman in heavy colored robes walked to the door of the temple, her golden pupils glowing with dark green light.

"There's no Gangplank this time, so... can you deal with those guys?"

A charming woman with scarlet hair appeared in her mind.

Late at night.

Bandit Row in Bilgewater.

There is one of the few high-end taverns in Bilgewater called——

Hydra!

Looking from a distance, the tavern is richly decorated and somewhat graceful.

Unlike other ghetto bars where there is sawdust and dust everywhere.

The people who hang out here are well behaved.

There were very few traces of alcohol spilled on the shiny floor, not to mention the front teeth that had fallen off during the fight.

Especially tonight, the shouts of the regular patrons can be heard all the way to the diving cliff several miles away.

The distinguished guests roared vulgar ditties and laughed and cursed excitedly.

In the center of the crowd is the only focus of this carnival.

Under the dim light, the charming woman in the center twisted her waist and raised a glass to toast the port master and his men.

The scarlet hair kept dancing, brushing over the hearts of all the men in the room like a thin willow.

Only this graceful figure remained in their eyes, and endless reveries stirred up under the fumigation of alcohol.

The air was filled with hot breath, and not a single wine glass was dry for a moment.

The red-haired woman is like a succubus in the deep sea. Her rosy face and soft figure make the men crazy, and they all look forward to her smiling at them for even half a second.

"Bounty Hunter Miss Fortune!"

Huo Jixing looked at the charming woman dancing in the center of the crowd with a strange expression.

Sarah, known for her beauty but ruthless destiny, is the famous captain of Bilgewater.

She has cultivated a reputation among the port town's tough crime syndicates that cannot be taken lightly.

But I didn't expect to have such a charming posture in the tavern.

"Yes, she is the owner of the Siren and will soon become the owner of this harbor city."

Yosip gently licked his dry lips, his eyes never leaving Sarah's blushing face.

"Don't be deceived by her face. Sarah is the biggest gainer after deposing Gangplank."

Huo Jixing raised the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and looked at Sarah's dancing waist.

The joy in the tavern filled the night sky.

So no one noticed that the door was quietly pushed open and a man in ordinary clothes walked in.

He had no recallable features and was as inconspicuous as the rest of the public.

And this is exactly the result of his years of deliberate practice.

He walked to the bar alone, ordered a glass of wine, and drank it himself.

Sarah, who was dancing, had eyes twinkling, grabbed a glass of amber light beer on her side, and greeted the drunken audience around her generously.

"My good friends, I'm afraid I can only stay here with you."

Even her voice seemed to shine with light.

The men around him roared in protest.

"Okay, okay, didn't we have fun?"

Sarah laughed softly and said with a coquettish tone.

"But I still have some things I haven't done tonight."

"Besides, it's time for you to change the guard a long time ago."

Sarah jumped onto the bar lightly, stooped, and looked at the believers at her feet with great interest, like a queen returning in triumph.

"May the Snake Mother forgive us all our sins!"

Sarah's face bloomed with the most breathtaking smile tonight, and her fingers hooked the cup and brought it to her lips.

He raised his neck and took a big sip, and saw that the golden light beer disappeared completely like an ebbing tide.
