The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 125 The raven whispers of the thorny rose
"We...failed!"

The head of the Chamber of Commerce looked at the yellow sandy ground with a pale expression and saw corpses and scattered uniforms all over the ground.

The resentment and hatred in his eyes were like substance, falling towards the man wearing fireworks.

Although they are just some failed human experiments, the Hex weapons they hold are the latest products of the Chamber of Commerce inventors.

The failure of this gladiatorial battle meant that they basically lost the trade cooperation they were negotiating with the Noxian nobles.

And this, for the chamber of commerce that seeks to develop and open up business routes, is like cutting off people's wealth and killing their parents.

Of course they resented Huo Jixing for destroying all this.

On the other side, Gulansi, who was sitting upright, withdrew his horrified gaze, feeling huge waves in his heart.

The flame power that Huo Jixing burst out in an instant made him feel uncontrollable fear.

How can it be?

How long has it been since the battle at Baron Calvin's mansion?

Not only is his power more powerful, it even makes him feel like a hero.

"No, his body is in flames"

Gulansi's thoughts became confused, and he looked straight at the flames lingering around his body.

"We can take action again!" The head of the Chamber of Commerce said again, hiding the resentment and hatred in his eyes just right.

Gulansi suppressed his inner shock and relaxed his emotions.

Hearing this, he turned to look at the head of the Chamber of Commerce, ignored his suggestion, and spoke coldly.

"It seems like your sincerity is somewhat lacking."

"As for trade cooperation and opening up trade routes, let's talk about it later. I have something urgent and I have to leave first!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for the chamber of commerce leader's reply.

In a gorgeous and elegant box.

The head of the Chamber of Commerce was left alone. His expression kept changing, with a mixture of humiliation, anger, murderous intent, and many other emotions.

Finally, he took a few steps forward and looked at the deserted yellow sand arena where only the ring of flames was still burning.

"Why is this a world where extraordinary people are so superior?"

"Why can ordinary people only live at the bottom? We will change everything sooner or later!"

"Hextech?"

Back in the room, Huo Jixing crossed his knees and mentally rehearsed the gladiatorial performance that had just ended.

Except for the last one, the other two are not worth mentioning.

"Is this another way to fight against extraordinary power besides skills?"

He recalled the memory information from his past life.

Piltover's strength does not come from military power, but from extensive trade cooperation and thinking ahead of its time.

It has always been a city of art trade.

It was after the birth of Hex Technology that Piltover had a certain say in the surrounding sea and land areas.

And more and more inventors are coming to Piltover, eager to pursue cutting-edge Hextech knowledge.

"With special training, ordinary people can indeed fight against extraordinary powers." Huo Jixing thought of some weapons produced by Hex Technology.

"Even touching the boundaries of heroism."

"But it only goes so far. Legends and demigods are far beyond what a technological weapon can achieve, let alone the terrifying gods recorded in mythology."

"That's not what we should be worried about."

Draven, who was leaning against the wall in front of him, spoke casually.

"Let's wait for news from the Trifari Council."

Then he remembered something and cheered up: "Tomorrow is the last day of the Ring of Fire performance. Is there anything you need help with?"

Huo Jixing thought for a while and said softly: "Can you provide some rune items?"

"Uh, if this is the case."

Draven was a little embarrassed. After struggling for a while, he said in a solemn voice.

"Rune items are not ordinary things. Even with my power, it is difficult to get some high-quality products."

Huo Jixing realized that Delevingne had misunderstood what he meant, and said quickly.

"No need for high-quality products, just ordinary rune items. My fire ability can extract some rune power for my own use."

"This is easy to handle. Wait for my news."

Draven laughed softly and walked away.

Looking at Delevingne's leaving figure, Huo Jixing stretched his body and couldn't help but sigh.

Life is much better now than it was during the Second Battle of Freljord. If you have a need, just ask and someone will come forward to solve it. "Sure enough, this is what it feels like to be covered by an organization."

The stars are shining brightly, and the night is getting darker.

In front of a dark and silent cell in the underground prison of the Knox Scalia Arena.

Black rose imprint blooms.

Then, a dim light flickered, and a slender figure wearing a black robe stood quietly.

"Are you here again?"

The young man with white hair raised his face and looked at the figure in front of him scornfully, showing no respect.

"I need you to take action tomorrow, and the conditions can be negotiated." A soft voice sounded.

"Has a liquidator achieved consecutive victories and hindered your plan?"

The young man with white hair thought for a moment, then spoke softly, with an undisguised mocking tone.

"I still have the same choice."

"We can take you out of prison and even arrange for you to return to the Ionian Islands!"

In the quiet prison, the young face with white hair slowly straightened up.

She walked to the iron door, her eyes as cold as a sword.

"I know how to move on!"

Before returning to Noxus, she could have stayed in the Ionia Islands with her own strength.

But she still chose to come back.

"The small talk time is over, someone is watching you!"

"Ok?"

Hearing the cold voice beside his ears, the slender figure in black robe suddenly paused and his eyes moved.

At the narrow window, she saw a black carrion raven with blood-red eyes preening its feathers.

But the scarlet eyes were looking straight at him.

"Swein!" The slender figure said one word at a time, her heart getting colder.

puff!
the next moment.

The black rose mark exploded, and the slender figure disappeared.

"Haha, a thorny rose stained with sin!" The young face with white hair sat back and closed his eyes in concentration.

On a cold winter night, above the circular arcade of the Knox Scalia Arena.

A slender figure appeared out of thin air, a black energy wrapped around the body, and then quickly rose into the sky.

She stood high in the sky with the biting cold wind blowing.

Overlooking the brightly lit, bustling and bustling capital of Noxus.

In the dark places, in the underground passages, in the aristocratic areas, at the bottom of the slums, etc.

She saw countless scavenging ravens, standing like sculptures, observing their surroundings.

"Swain, what are you going to do?"

Then she thought of something and her eyes were cold: "Have you made a choice?"

The capital of Noxus, the noble area.

"Gulansi, have you reached an agreement yet?" The pale figure at the head of the long table spoke softly.

"Confirmed to fight." Gulans replied respectfully: "But they have some big mouths this time."

"Just give them some mortal flesh and blood."

The pale figure's eyes moved and fell on the shadow in the corner.

"I have also contacted them, but people from the research institute said that there may be some uncertainty about the 'products' that will be provided."

"Very good, let's make arrangements immediately." The pale figure stood up and prepared to leave.

"Are you sure you want to arrange the last thing to appear?" A slightly urgent voice came from the shadows in the corner.

Hearing this, everyone on both sides of the long table fell into silence in the dark secret room.

"I'm afraid of causing unrest."

"Haha, that's not something we should be concerned about, it's something Swain needs to consider." The pale figure chuckled softly.

"He has made his choice and there is nothing else we can do."

"The new Noxus Empire must be controlled by us!"
