The Glory of Noxus

In the innermost part of the slum, in a dark, damp, and smelly alley.

"Is this here?"

Huo Jixing pointed to the building in front of him that could not be called a house, with a puzzled look.

The surrounding earth and stone walls had mostly collapsed, and some open-air areas were covered with torn linen, and the old wooden door was crookedly blocking the door.

Dewitt frowned and looked at the environment in front of him, looking a little embarrassed.

Finally, he looked at his route and said bitterly: "According to the direction and location mentioned by Moore, it should be here."

Huo Jixing clenched the hilt of the knife at his waist, his eyes cold.

The Second Battle of Freljord had ended for quite some time, and the Empire's pension had been issued long ago.

He remembered that he had already reported the names of Moore, Eric and others, and specifically told Wilson that they would be issued as soon as possible.

So what does the current situation mean?

Cough! Cough! Cough!

At this moment, a violent cough sounded, as if he was about to cough up blood, attracting everyone's attention.

Huo Jixing suppressed his inner emotions and stepped over. His cold eyes saw the scene in the dilapidated room through the cracks in the wall.

In the corner of the dim room, an old woman who was as thin as a bone was coughing with her head down, holding a child who was almost like a skeleton.

If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, Huo Jixing would have suspected that the child had starved to death.

Beside the old woman was something like a pile of black and gray earth, on which was placed a dirty stone bowl with many gaps on the edge of the bowl.

In the dim light, Huo Jixing's vision was limited, and he could only vaguely see the sticky food in the bowl.

The color was gray and black, and the soil and leaves could be vaguely seen mixed.

Then, he saw the old woman dig out some gray and black food with her fingers, put it into the child's mouth, and let the hungry child suck and swallow it.

After waiting for the child to finish eating, the old woman continued to repeat the above actions until the child was full.

"Huh!"

Huo Jixing took a deep breath, his red eyes flashed, and he listened attentively.

He heard the panting of the person following him suddenly speed up, and his mood became a little unstable.

Huo Jixing held the handle of the knife tightly with his left hand, and his veins were bulging. The person following him kept his breathing rhythm until they came to the alley room and saw what happened in the room.

"Are you afraid that we will see it? Or are you worried about something?" Huo Jixing thought secretly.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Dewitt in front of him and said, "You go in with the gift and don't mention Moore's matter first."

After Dewitt went in, he heard a voice coming from inside.

Huo Jixing turned around quickly, his footsteps were like the wind, and he instantly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and stepped into the dark place of the alley.

Korda on the side looked at Huo Jixing who was leaving with a surprised look.

Then he immediately reacted, drew out the sharp blade at his waist, and stood at the door of the broken room.

Click!

Huo Jixing stretched out his arm, and his right hand was like a knife, easily cutting through the earth and stone wall in front of him.

Then he reached behind the wall, grabbed the throat of the person who was following him, and dragged him out of the dark shadows.

Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man struggling on the ground with a cold expression.

The other party was not tall, with a dark and fierce face, a black mole at the corner of his eye, and looked a little shrewd and mercenary.

After seeing Huo Jixing's appearance, he struggled more fiercely, but under the huge grip, he began to be out of breath and his face flushed.

"I ask, you answer, do you understand?"

Huo Jixing released his right hand and squatted in front of the middle-aged man. When he saw him nod, he immediately asked.

"Why are you following us?"

"Huhu! Huhu!"

The middle-aged man first panted rapidly, and then his eyes swept and fell on the long knife on Huo Jixing's waist. Thinking of the scene of chiseling through the wall with his bare hands just now, his expression changed.

"This is the territory of the Gray Wolf Gang!"

"I saw that you were outsiders, and I was afraid that something might happen, so I followed you to see."

Huo Jixing laughed silently, he was indeed a shrewd and cunning person.

A few words directly stated his identity and the backers behind him, and also put his position straight, saying that he was worried that something might happen to them, so he followed them.

"Gray Wolf Gang?" Huo Jixing said casually, looking a little surprised.

"Yes, I am Luo Er from the Gray Wolf Gang"

"Sorry, I haven't heard of it, and I don't want to know."

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, Huo Jixing interrupted him and looked at him coldly.

"Now, get out of my sight immediately!"

Seeing Huo Jixing let go of his right hand, Luo Er covered his neck with both hands, got up awkwardly, and hurried away regardless of the dirty water on his body.

Korda still held the sharp blade in his hand, walked over, wanted to say something but stopped, and remained silent.

Huo Jixing shook his head gently and patted Korda on the shoulder, indicating that he had his own considerations.

Of course, he saw the malicious look in Luo Er's eyes when he left, but he also expected that the other party would bring some surprise gifts.

Just after finishing here, when he turned around, he saw Dewitt had walked out of the dilapidated room, looking depressed, with some gray and black stains on his clothes.

Huo Jixing paused, gently brushed the thick robe with his left hand, and did not dare to take out the blood-stained suicide note.

He was afraid that this was the last hope of the mother and son.

"Find a place where you can inquire about the news." Huo Jixing said to Dewitt, and then thought of something and told him to speak.

"Don't be in the territory of the Gray Wolf Gang."

Dewitt's eyes were gloomy, and he nodded silently.

Although he had been away from home for three years, he had vaguely heard the name of the Gray Wolf Gang when he was in the slums before.

"Korda, you stay." Huo Jixing ordered, somewhat worried about the mother and son in the room.

"Pay attention to the situation. If there is an accident, report your identity directly."

In the current Noxian capital, the identity of a Noxian scout is still useful.

After all, it is an elite war group brought by Darius from the northern border, and many people are still very afraid of this powerful military force.

The outer layer of the slums, near the high wall of the Immortal Fortress.

Under the biting winter wind, a gray brick and green tile tavern is located at the corner of the wall, and the red flag flutters in the wind.

Creak!

Huo Jixing pushed open the thick wooden door, and the hot breath rushed to his face, dispelling the winter cold.

The air was filled with the smell of wine and meat, as well as a lot of noise and cold eyes.

However, after seeing the sharp blades on Huo Jixing and Dewitt's waists, his unscrupulous eyes were restrained, but he still looked at them, curious about the identity of the outsiders.

Under the leadership of Dewitt, Huo Jixing walked to the black wooden bar and sat down.

"Two gentlemen, would you like something?"

The bartender raised a wrinkled face with sharp edges, brown hair scattered in front of his forehead, and a pair of deep eyes looked at the outsiders in front of him.

The identities of the two were too easy to distinguish.

First of all, the temperament of keeping strangers away did not look like people from the slums.

And the neat clothes he wore and the sharp blade hanging on his waist were likely Noxus soldiers stationed nearby.

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on the tavern, and the business was pretty good.

Several tables were already full of people, with meat and drinks on them, and a scantily clad waitress shuttled between the tables.

Those sitting around were basically people who looked brave and aggressive.

They were drinking and making noises, tapping the table, or glancing at the bar, as if they were waiting for something.

"Let's have some drinks and meat." Huo Jixing put a silver coin on the black wooden bar.

Silver and copper coins are commonly used in the Noxus Empire, and gold coins are rarely used. The exchange rate is one to ten, which is about what he thought.

This time when he left the camp, he brought a lot of silver coins.

"Okay, wait a minute!" The bartender put away the silver coins and said respectfully, then walked behind the bar and shouted loudly to the kitchen.

Huo Jixing and Dewitt were not in a hurry, just sitting in front of the bar and chatting casually.

Perhaps because of what he had seen and heard in the dark alley just now, even Dewitt, who had seen his family, was not in a good mood to chat.

Soon, the drinks and food were served and placed in front of him.

"Hmm?" Huo Jixing took a sip of the wine, frowned slightly, and put down the wine glass casually.

The drinks were really not very good, crudely made, and not as good as the strong liquor that Krei used to treat us.

The meat was surprisingly good, some boiled meatballs and roasted meat chunks, and the taste was okay.

"Have you heard of the Grey Wolf Gang?"
