The Glory of Noxus

Twisted Fate put away the cards in his hand, and immediately took Graves to the tavern.

After a while.

The two came to the tavern and looked at the slightly solemn architectural style.

The battlements on the roof of the tavern seemed to be able to turn the tavern into a fortress at any time.

"Twisted Fate, when did you become so nice that you invited me to drink when you were being hunted down?"

Graves retracted his gaze, sniffed the rich aroma of wine in the air, and joked.

Trist ignored Graves, but walked to the door of the tavern.

A hanging wooden sign caught his attention.

Trist looked down and read the content on the sign softly.

"The tavern is temporarily closed, thank you for your understanding."

Graves also noticed the content of the wooden sign and said with a smile.

"Very polite!"

"But if you are temporarily closed, why are the lights still on? Isn't this fooling people?"

Graves didn't care, pulled down the wooden sign, and forced open the heavy wooden door.

As soon as he entered the tavern, he noticed that the atmosphere inside was not right, and his steps slowly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Drizzt saw Graves stop and looked a little dissatisfied.

Does this guy understand the situation they are in now, and he still has the mind to play these tricks.

"Uh"

Graves seemed to realize something and tried to explain hesitantly.

But Drizzt had lost his patience, pushed Graves' body away, and squeezed through with his thin body.

However, as soon as his right foot stepped into the tavern, his expression became unnatural.

The tavern was indeed open for business, and there were many people sitting inside, drinking and chatting, seemingly lawless.

But Drizzt, who was suspicious by nature, saw a cold and casual temperament from these people.

Based on his experience of traveling in the Valoran continent.

These people are definitely not ordinary guests. They are used to licking blood on the edge of a knife and have killed many people.

Drizzt even smelled a hint of legion soldiers from their behavior.

Graves held his momentum, walked slowly to the bar, and gently put down the wooden sign in his hand.

When he came over, he suppressed his double-barreled shotgun, fearing that it would cause misunderstanding.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to take down your sign." Graves said with a slightly apologetic tone.

Although he has the title of an outlaw, it does not mean that he is a complete thug.

Especially his current situation is not good, and there are Iron Hook Gang minions chasing them outside the tavern.

Graves pulled a chair over, sat in front of the bar, and ordered a glass of wine.

"Give me a bottle of the best wine, remember not to use fake wine, I can taste it."

Trist came over, stretched out his hand to pull down the brim of his hat, trying to make himself look more mysterious.

"Me too."

He took out two golden sirens and placed them in front of the bar.

"Sorry, customer, we have suspended business."

Yosip wiped the glass wine glass in his hand, his voice a little cold.

"Hey, brother, don't be like this, we finally got here."

Graves took out a cigar from his waist, lit it, and said with a smile.

"Yosip, bring two bottles of wine, just as their last bottle."

Huo Jixing was sitting at the bar, looking at the two people beside him, his eyebrows slightly raised.

He was very surprised, he didn't expect to meet these two people in the tavern.

Outlaw madman Graves!

Card master Drizzt!

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on Graves, who had several wounds on his body bleeding, staining his clothes red.

Drizzt was better, but his face under the cowboy hat was a little pale.

The reason why the tavern was still open late at night was because all the soldiers of the Resser Garrison Legion scattered in Bilgewater had come.

This was a specially arranged welcome party.

Yosip heard the words, looked at Graves and Drizzt in front of him, and walked over.

"Demacia wine? Or Freljord wine?"

"Demacia bar." Graves looked around the wine rack and answered.

When the wine came, he bit the cork with his mouth and spit it on the floor.

Then Graves imitated the refugee nobles in Bilgewater, took a sip of wine, sipped it for a long time, and then swallowed it.

"It doesn't taste good."

"Graves, we are not qualified to be picky now." Drizzt also followed suit and took a sip of wine.

As a river nomad, he didn't know much about wine.

But relying on his extraordinary skills, he has tasted many fine wines.

Just as the two were drinking, there was a burst of restless noise outside the tavern.

Drizzt's expression moved, and his deep eyes fell on the handsome young man not far away from him.

Before they came over, the handsome young man was sitting at the bar, and it was obvious that he had a special status.

"It's almost time, you should go out."

Huo Jixing noticed Drizzt's gaze, raised the wine glass in his hand, and took a sip.

"It's time to get to work."

Graves raised his eyebrows, stood up, and held his unique double-barreled shotgun tightly.

Although he had a bad temper, he valued the loyalty of the underworld and knew that he couldn't destroy other people's taverns.

He took out a brand new bullet and put it into the gun chamber, making a crisp click.

This sound carried an invisible rhythm, attracting the attention of everyone in the tavern.

After that, Graves took out a silver snake coin from his pocket and threw it at Yosip.

The silver coin spun and slid across the neat countertop, facing up.

"Use it to buy your front door."

"Cui Zi, we will fight side by side again."

Graves raised his double-barreled shotgun, extinguished the cigar in his hand, and walked to the front door of the tavern.

Drizzt stood up, but did not follow Graves, but came to Huo Jixing.

"We have a secret in exchange, hoping to get your protection."

"Protection?"

Huo Jixing looked up and carefully looked at Drizzt before he stood up, with a bit of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.

Drizzt's body looked thin, with long black hair scattered behind his back.

The beard on his chin was carefully trimmed, and with a dark cowboy hat with gold rims, it was a bit mysterious.

It was very similar to the game character in his previous life.

"Your name seems to be on the bounty list?"

He looked at Drizzt, then at the somewhat nervous Graves, and laughed softly.

"If you use your heads to exchange with those guys outside, you can get a lot of bounties, right?"

"Our secrets are much more valuable than those bounties."

Drizzt ignored the increasingly restless voices outside the door and spoke slowly.

"I think you have heard the legends of the Abyss Altar and the Abyss Crown?"

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, and noticed Yosip's excited expression from the corner of his eyes.

"Are you sure that I will agree to protect you?"

"It was fate that told me."

Drizzt laughed softly when he heard this, and a red card appeared on his fingers and danced between his fingers.

As the card danced, the color on the back kept changing, sometimes blue, sometimes yellow, and sometimes red.

Huo Jixing put down the wine glass, felt the special magic fluctuations on Drizzt, and thought about it.

It is rumored that Drizzt can interpret the omen of fate in shuffling and cutting cards.

"I hope your secret will not disappoint me."

Huo Jixing stood up and walked slowly to the main entrance of the tavern.

The guys outside must have something to make two powerful transcendents so embarrassed.

Creak!

Huo Jixing pushed open the door, and the scene in front of him made him frown.

The streets were full of Iron Hook Gang minions, holding sharp weapons and scattered around the tavern.

They looked like hungry beasts, ready to attack the tavern and destroy the building.

Although they could afford to open a tavern in Bilgewater, the forces behind them were definitely not simple.

But this is the outer city after all, and no matter how powerful it is, it can't compare to the Iron Hook Gang that is about to regain its glory.

"Interesting!"

Huo Jixing stood in front of the door, with a smile on his handsome face.

A touch of red-gold flame appeared on his fingertips, and he waved it gently, falling towards the gathered Iron Hook Gang minions.

Whoosh!

The green wind blew past, carrying the breath of life, injecting power into the falling flames.

Fire borrows wind.

The seemingly insignificant flames suddenly surged and expanded, like a torrent of catharsis, rushing towards the horrified Iron Hook Gang minions.

Their expressions quickly changed from the original fierceness and arrogance to fear and despair.

However, everything was too late.

Silently, the red-gold flames swept through, annihilating all the lives that blocked their way.

Under perfect control, the Nanli Fire burned all the Iron Hook Gang minions.

But it did not cause any damage to the streets and nearby buildings.

Behind Huo Jixing, Trist and Graves looked at the empty streets in front of them with horrified expressions.

They seemed to have met a very extraordinary guy with such terrifying strength.

"Okay, let's talk about the secrets of the Abyss Altar and the Abyss Crown."

Huo Jixing turned and looked at Trist and Graves.

Bilgewater Bay.

On the quiet sea, a wooden boat entered a reef area.

"We're here."

Drizzt put away his cards and looked at Huo Jixing beside him.

"Are you sure it's here?"

Huo Jixing looked and saw a rugged reef towering in front of him, big enough to be called an island.

It looked no different from the reefs in the nearby area.

"Yes, someone hired us and the map location given was also nearby."

Drizzt nodded gently: "I have read it many times, and the card always tells me it's here."

"Graves, row over."

Graves at the stern muttered a few words, but still paddled hard to get closer to the reef.

Huo Jixing stared at the reef getting closer and closer, and his thoughts surged in his heart.

The Abyss Altar and the Abyss Crown may be related to the secrets of the sea monster.

Perhaps it is also related to the Soul-Eating Night.

This is why he came here.

The wooden boat rowed towards the reef and rowed to the smooth rock surface on the leeward side.

The sea surface rose and fell, causing Drizzt and Graves to sway.

"The card tells me that the altar is inside."

In front of the huge reef, Drizzt looked at the card in his hand and spoke softly.
