The Glory of Noxus

After the soul-eating night is over.

Silent Bilgewater is undergoing a rebirth.

The dawn light shines down, bringing new hope and life to this port city.

The streets of the dilapidated city were in shambles, but the surviving people could already be seen busy.

Some of them were sweating profusely on the dock, repairing ships that had been corroded by the black fog.

Some are looking for reusable materials in the ruins of buildings to prepare for rebuilding their homes.

What's more, some people have found their own ships that are still capable of sailing in the port's thousands of sails, and are preparing to go to sea.

Although the Night of Soul Erosion has just passed, they are not afraid for the wealth in the ocean.

At noon, a large number of ships were already out to sea.

The sea covered in black mist is full of loot. If you take a step slower, you won't even be able to catch bird droppings.

The never-ending bustle of Bilgewater began. The carcasses of huge sea beasts were hoisted at the slaughterhouse. The butchers and workers gathered around the slaughterhouse. The prosperity of the former pirate city was faintly visible.

In the upper town of Bilgewater and the wealthy castle, many captains heard some news.

Nagakapolos Temple and Illaoi don’t know what reason they use.

He actually asked Miss Fortune Sarah and Gangplank to cooperate.

Together with several other powerful captains, they formed the pirate council.

The specific name has not yet been decided, but the cooperation of the captains has completely relieved Bilgewater at the bottom.

Having experienced the Night of Soul Erosion, they did not want to experience another power struggle among the captains.

Lower town, pub.

"Set up a pirate council, similar to the Trifari Council?"

Huo Jixing tapped his finger on the table and listened to Yosip's report.

Although the identity of their Reese garrison has been exposed.

But based on the strength of Hojistar, they are very safe in Bilgewater.

Huo Jixing's thoughts came to mind, recalling the bloody feud between Miss Fortune Sarah and Gangplank in his past life.

"Illaoi, or there is something about the Temple of Nagakaporos."

He seemed to remember something, turned to look at Yosip, and asked softly.

"Has Planck's compensation been sent?"

Since he couldn't take revenge on Gangplank in Bilgewater, Huo Jixing could only open his mouth and let Gangplank vomit more.

"It was delivered last night and we are counting it," Yosip replied.

As the person in charge of the Lesser Defense Secret Office, this was the first time he saw Gangplank apologize to someone.

Planck, who has the reputation of being an ocean disaster, is no ordinary person.

As early as during the Ionian War, he ransacked the Snake Blade Temple, which angered the murderous Shadow Stream sect.

And it is said that Swain vowed to see Gangplank cut into pieces with his own eyes.

Because Gangplank stole the pride of the Noxian Navy [Leviathan], which was Swain's battleship.

Even after doing so many criminal things, Gangplank still survived and did not give anyone face.

Even if assassins, bounty hunters and even armed fleets were sent, they could not bring him to justice.

"Take me to see it."

Huo Jixing stood up and motioned for Yosip to take him over.

There are things he specifically proposed in this compensation.

Tavern cellar.

The dim yellow lights flickered, reflecting the densely packed wooden barrels filled with rum.

The rich aroma of wine and the tidal atmosphere in the cellar are intertwined, which is quite intoxicating.

Behind the barrel is a specially cleared area.

This open space is particularly empty, and there is a bloody contrast with the dense wooden barrels around it.

At the same time, there are various gold jewelry and some ancient utensils placed in the open space.

These gold jewelry include exquisite necklaces, bracelets, rings and crowns inlaid with precious stones.

It looks like the style is different, obviously coming from different places.

The soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps were holding account books and were carefully counting the mountains of property in front of them.

Wearing neat armor and with serious expressions on their faces, they registered every property.

When they saw Huo Jixing and Yosip arriving, they immediately stopped what they were doing and saluted neatly.

Then they stepped aside and continued to remain vigilant, but their eyes showed respect for the two comers.

Huo Jixing looked at the glittering belongings in front of him, and his eyes fell on a sealed black wooden box.

This wooden box looks ordinary, but it is on top of the gold jewelry and no one touches it.

Huo Jixing approached the wooden box and could feel the subtle magic energy fluctuations coming from the wooden box.

He stretched out his right hand, rubbed the lines on the wooden box, and opened it gently.

Click!

Four different styles of magic rune items are placed on the black silk cloth.

Each of them exudes a faint glow and is colorful.

These are exactly what Huo Jixing specifically proposed to Planck as compensation.

Huo Jixing picked up one of the magic rune items and carefully observed the internal lines and structure.

It looks like something used for sacrifice, with several gems inlaid on the surface, shining with dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up another magic rune item, a somewhat worn magic wand.

It looks unremarkable, but Huo Jixing knows its value through his own spiritual perception.

Huo Jixing waved his magic wand casually and felt a powerful force pouring out from the tip of the wand, which made him even more satisfied with the quality of this item.

He looked at the other two magic rune items, and after checking them one by one, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although the quality of these four magic rune items was different, they seemed to be well preserved and not damaged at all.

With the magic energy retained in them, a lot of essence could be decomposed.

Huo Jixing moved his eyes and fell on the gold jewelry, and whispered to Yosip.

"Exchange for some golden sirens, go to the black market outside, and buy some magic rune items."

During this period after the end of the Soul-Eating Night, Bilgewater has undergone considerable changes.

The originally prosperous Upper Town is now shrouded in a dead silence.

Many rich people were killed, their mansions were looted, and precious property was scattered all over the ground.

Some famous captains also died heroically in the battle with the undead creatures, leaving behind many precious spoils.

This led to the appearance of many extraordinary items in the market of Bilgewater.

Although most of them were damaged due to the resistance to the undead creatures, it did not prevent some rune magic power from remaining in them.

These things are a good opportunity for those who know how to use them.

"Okay."

Yosipuk nodded and agreed, ready to start doing it later.

He was a little confused about Huo Jixing's acquisition of magic rune items.

After all, with Huo Jixing's strength, he shouldn't need those low-quality magic rune items.

But Yosip is not a curious person.

He will perfectly complete what Huo Jixing ordered.

As a smart man, Yosip vaguely guessed that Huo Jixing might leave Bilgewater in the near future.

Huo Jixing picked up the black wooden box and walked out of the cellar first.

Yosip hurriedly left the cellar and rushed to some black markets.

Along the way, he saw many sailors and crew members organizing people to clean up the ruins, repair damaged buildings, and strengthen the city's defenses.

The rulers of Bilgewater need to restore order in the city as soon as possible.

And in the investigation of the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Legion, they found that Miss Fortune and others were secretly preparing a sacrifice for Nagakabouros.

However, these things were suppressed by Huo Jixing, and they were told not to pay attention to them anymore.

Yosip retracted his observation, wrapped his clothes tightly, and walked along the familiar road into the shadow alley.

In the dark night,

the clouds were thick, covering the starlight.

The tavern fell into silence, and occasionally there was a faint breathing sound.

[Congratulations to the host, the decomposition was successful, and the essence * 280 was obtained! ]

Hearing the cold reminder sound in his ear.

Huo Jixing opened his eyes, and the red-gold light flashed in his pupils.

"So many essences?"

He whispered softly, a little surprised in his heart.

Recently, Yosip has acquired a lot of magic rune items under his instructions.

Adding Planck's compensation, after decomposition, he got 280 essences.

"The acquisition is almost complete, even if there are still some, they have been secretly bought by those captains who have reacted."

Huo Jixing thought of the actions of the Pirate Council and shook his head slowly.

Faced with the pressure brought by Miss Fortune Sarah and Gangplank, many captains saw the opportunity and started to purchase magic rune items on the market.

Under the premise of maintaining order in Bilgewater, some people also had conflicts.

Huo Jixing's consciousness moved, and the dark green light surged on his pupils, and the data panel emerged.

[Name: Huo Jixing]

[Essence: 360]

[Strength: 31.54]

[Constitution: 31.54]

[Agility: 31.54]

[Spirit: 31.54]

[Skills: Conquer the Master, Introspection, Photographic Memory]

[Talent: Star Spirit·Nanli Suzaku, Star Spirit·Donghua Azure Dragon]

"The number of essences is still a little short, and the next constellation can be opened."

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, thinking.

The reason why he did not blatantly purchase magic rune items to light up the third constellation was because he was still in Bilgewater.

This is the area controlled by Nagakabouros, and he doesn't want to challenge the power of a god.

"The four basic attributes have also exceeded 30 points, but there is no fundamental change as imagined." Huo Jixing thought to himself.

"It seems that the road to legend is not as simple as imagined."

He couldn't help but think of the remaining power of the Eternal Nightmare Morteng he encountered in the Kingdom of Demacia, and the demon clone of the demon clown Sarco.

Compared with Thresh and Hecarim in Shadow Island, there is a gap in strength, but the state of immortality is extremely difficult.

Or it can be said that Thresh and Hecarim are not in the home court of Shadow Island, and their strength is weakened.

"So what kind of scenery is the god above the legend?" Huo Jixing's thoughts surged and he pondered.

Now he has seen the Eye of the Storm Janna, the Spider God Despicable Throat, and Nagakabouros with the power of gods.

Morgana, the fallen angel of the hidden Kingdom of Demacia, can also be counted.

But Huo Jixing had never seen Morgana's appearance in person, he just encountered her casual attack.

The strength of the Pale Lady of the Noxus Empire is unknown, but the fact that she was able to win over the Scarlet Reaper Vladimir shows that her strength is definitely not inferior to him.

Huo Jixing thought about the confrontation between the two gods' wills in the Nagakabouros Temple, and a haze emerged in his heart.

At that time, he was almost powerless to fight back under the pressure of the gods.

"There is still a long way to go."

Huo Jixing regained consciousness and exhaled lightly.

He then suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, entered the state of [Introspection], and practiced quietly.

"It's time to leave."
