The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 234 Piltover Myrdalda Family

"Piltover?"

Hearing Swain's words, Huo Jixing's mind moved and he reached out to catch the thrown letter.

The fire paint had already melted, so he took out the parchment and carefully read the written information recorded on it.

"The Myrdalda family?"

Huo Jixing frowned when he saw the special name mentioned on the parchment.

Immediately, the intelligence information of the Myrdalda family appeared in his mind.

With extensive trade cooperation and thinking ahead of the times, Piltover has become the cultural center of Valoran, earning the title "City of Progress".

Although Piltover has a relatively complete parliamentary system and many merchant families that control different trade channels.

But its unique economy and politics gave birth to a small group of rulers (powerful oligarchs) who control everything.

They are completely above Parliament and the law.

Swain's eyes fell on the regions of Piltover and Zaun, staring at the narrow sea route.

During the reign of Brown Darkwill, the Noxus Empire went on wars and conquered almost all areas, but the areas of Piltover and Zaun were safe.

"Is there anyone specifically guarding this place?" Huo Jixing thought to himself.

The Myrdalda family, with its invention patents and huge trade wealth, has become the most powerful family in Piltover and one of the powerful oligarchs.

"Never underestimate Piltover's power." Swain stood up, left the marble table, and walked to the left wall of the audience hall.

Swain paused and said in a deep voice: "Without further delay, let's set off tomorrow."

Since Swain specifically warned her, it meant that Camille was much more difficult to deal with than imagined.

The area painted red represents the vast territory of the Noxus Empire.

"He has something the Trifari Council wants."

Since the Myrdalda family is an extension of the empire's interests, the empire should solve their problems for them.

Returning to his residence, Huo Jixing opened the door.

"The Philos family?" Huo Jixing stood behind Swain, looking up at the huge map in front of him.

"Go to Piltover this time and pay attention to the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress. There is news that Heimerdinger is researching a special weapon."

"Okay, when will we set off?" Huo Jixing nodded slightly and replied.

As the sky darkens, this warmth gradually disappears, replaced by a deep and cold night.

"And she has extraordinary power, with the power of life and death to operate covertly."

The setting sun shines on the triumphal steps in front of the palace, dyeing every stone slab a warm golden color.

There is also the strength possessed by Piltover and Zaun. Their alchemy technology path bursts out with power that is not inferior to that of the craft path.

"After a hundred years of development, the Myrdalda family of Piltover has grown up and provided a lot of wealth to the empire."

This is not only because Piltover and Zaun control the east-west sea lanes of Valoran, and the Noxus Empire needs them to help transport supplies to various battlefields.

"This time they encountered a very difficult problem and had to secretly seek help from the empire."

"Your secret mission is to go to the Myrdalda family and help them solve their problems."

Does it have any connection to the Noxian Empire?

Swain turned his eyes, looked at Huo Jixing below, and continued to speak.

Then he walked quickly, blending into the surrounding darkness and disappearing.

"Finally, the empire needs you to sneak into Zaun and meet a big guy."

Swain leaned back, leaning against the back of the chair, looking at the colorful flags hanging on both sides of the obsidian throne.

"The Myrdalda family is a warlord noble of the empire. In order to control the east-west sea lanes of Valoran, they sent their descendants to Piltover."

The Myrdalda family in Piltover sent a message thousands of miles to seek help from the Noxus Empire?

Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed and he nodded slowly.

"receive."

Huo Jixing took the token, put it in his arms, turned around and left the palace.

Huo Jixing had just left the palace and walked down the solemn triumphal steps with a steady pace.

"Qinggang Shadow Camille is the chief spy of the Feros family. Many soldiers of the Reese Guard Corps were assassinated by her." Swain turned around and said in a solemn voice.

As if he noticed something, his eyes flickered in the night, looking behind him vaguely, ignoring the darkness and seeing everything.

The bright yellow candlelight fell, reflecting a detailed map of Valoran.

"The Philos family is also worth noting."

Maybe it was the doubts rising in Huo Jixing's heart when he saw it.

Swain took out a blood token from his arms, threw it to Huo Jixing, and gave instructions.

"As for the specific information about this secret mission, a dedicated person will give it to you after you arrive in Piltover."

Huo Jixing put away the letter and doubts arose in his heart.

The bright yellow light illuminated the room, and he saw Heini waiting for him, holding the sleeping snow-white Poro in his arms.

When Heini saw Huo Jixing coming back, a reassuring smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand to gently stroke Poro's snow-white hair and walked towards the restaurant.

Inside was a dinner that had already been prepared, as well as a pot of fragrant liquor.

Huo Jixing looked at everything in front of him with soft eyes, and a touch of warmth emerged in his heart.

No matter how unpredictable the outside world is, there is always peace that belongs to him.

After enjoying dinner, Huo Jixing took a swig of strong wine and allowed the burning sensation to permeate his body.

"There is a secret mission, I will leave soon."

Although the time Swain gave was tomorrow, he thought of his previous worries and prepared to leave the Noxus capital silently.

"Ah, then I will prepare some clothes for you."

Heini hurriedly put down the dinner plate in his hand and walked to Huo Jixing's room.

"No, I don't need much." Huo Jixing shook his head gently.

Piltover is the trade center of the Valoran continent, and the empire has already arranged to infiltrate the Ryser garrison secretariat.

Huo Jixing got up and went to his room, took out the Statik electric blade with a black scabbard, and hung it on his waist.

In addition, he also brought a silver flask that had been prepared, filled with strong liquor.

Oh, he also picked up the sleeping snow-white Poro, ignored the angry eyes, and stuffed it into his arms.

"go to bed early."

Huo Jixing came to the living room, rubbed Heini's head, spoke softly, and closed the door.

Da da! Da da!

Light footsteps echoed in the silent night air.

Huo Jixing was walking in the narrow street. In the dim environment, his figure was looming, blending into the surrounding shadows and making it difficult to detect.

"Sure enough, someone kept staring at me."

A red golden light appeared in his eyes. Huo Jixing looked around and saw several blood-colored clouds rising up and surrounding his residence.

From the moment he left the palace, he felt that someone was secretly watching him and paying attention to his whereabouts.

Although I had successfully gotten rid of them before, when I returned to my residence, the feeling of spying came over me again.

This convinced Huo Jixing that no matter whether it was a palace or a residence, there were secret forces specially arranging people to guard him and monitor his every move.

The night gradually darkened, and the moonlight became hazy.

Huo Jixing kept walking and continued walking, preparing to go to the fortress outside the capital. He intended to use Noxtra to leave the capital and go to Chuxido, the nearest port city to Piltover.

This is the convenience of portals.

Noxtra has risen on every road leading to a city in the Noxian Empire.

And the capital's [Noxtora] can lead to every city in the empire.

Chuxidor is located in the southeastern corner of the empire, on a promontory with Piltover and Zaun.

From the port location, you can see the hazy black shadow of the Gate of the Sun in the distance.

"Ok?"

Huo Jixing passed the city gate corridor and walked on the wide and flat straight road with a cold expression.

"The ghost lingers!"

Within his field of vision, he once again saw the familiar blood-colored cloud hidden in the dark corner.

The night was as dark as ink, deep and thick, covering up the bright moonlight in the sky, as if the world had fallen into silence.

"The target is about to appear, please report information at any time."

In the dark corner, a figure wearing a blood-colored robe spoke softly, with a red light flashing in his hand, as if he was communicating with others.

Then he looked at the city gate in the distance with piercing eyes, quietly waiting for the target to appear.

Behind him, there were two similarly dressed figures lurking, with bloody marks engraved on their young faces, and their eyes filled with scarlet color.

The aura of the two people is almost the same as the figure in the blood-colored robe in front, but they are younger and fanatical in comparison.

Scarlet Apprentice!

Members of the Crimson Order, descendants of nobles dedicated to blood magic itself.

He is a loyal follower of Vladimir the Scarlet Reaper and desires power and immortality.

"coming."

The Scarlet Awakener looked at the open city gate, his blood-red eyes flashing as he saw Huo Jixing walking out.

Immediately afterwards, the Scarlet Awakener saw Huo Jixing looking here as if he had noticed something.

"Did they discover us?"

Before he could react, Huo Jixing disappeared from sight without any trace.

"Where did you go?"

The Scarlet Awakener looked solemn, keenly feeling the deadly danger emerging from the surrounding air.

Then he immediately signaled the two scarlet apprentices behind him to be more vigilant and carefully observe the movements around them.

"Ok?"

The Scarlet Awakeners noticed that there was no movement behind them, and the authorities turned around, preparing to scold their subordinates.

These apprentices who have just joined the Scarlet Secret Society always think that their noble status is superior to others.

But they don't know how the status of everyone who joins the Scarlet Secret Society is much lower than them.

The desire for immortality is a desire that everyone who has enjoyed power and wealth cannot give up.

"you."

The Scarlet Awakener forced down the anger in his heart and turned his head. Just as he was about to scold him, he saw a pair of cold eyes looking down at him.

At his feet were two scarlet apprentices.

At this moment, they had fallen silently into a pool of blood, and their life energy had disappeared without a trace.

The Scarlet Awakener's pupils shrank, and the fatal danger struck. He immediately jumped up and fled towards the city gate.

He knew in his heart that only by reaching the city gate could he possibly save his life.

"Blood magic?"

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows and saw the ripples of blood gently fluttering in the night wind, like a pool of still blood surging in the dark night.

"Is Vladimir targeting me again?"

He whispered softly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and looked at the scarlet awakened one in the distance, escaping into the darkness.

But the Scarlet Awakeners who escaped could not escape their destined fate.

The surging blood ripples unknowingly split into countless fragments in an instant.

Before they hit the ground, a flash of red-gold fireworks ignited, melting them into ashes and dissipating.

Immortal Fortress, a towering noble castle.

In a luxurious hall, soft lighting reflects the exquisite patterns on the walls

Vladimir sat at the main seat, with a glass wine glass filled with blood-colored liquid placed in front of him.

The blood-colored liquid inside was as bright as blood under the light.

He gently raised the wine glass and carefully observed the liquid inside, a deep light flashed in his blood-colored eyes.

"It tastes good." Vladimir took a sip of the blood-colored liquid in the wine glass and praised softly.

“The results of Piltover’s experiments are increasingly astounding and fascinating.”

Ta-ta! Ta-ta!

Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded, destroying the peaceful atmosphere in the hall.

I saw a Noxian noble in red robes walking quickly with a pale expression. It was obvious that something important had happened.

"Your Majesty Vladimir!"

The Noxian noble fell to his knees respectfully, with a hint of fanaticism and awe in his voice.

"The target has disappeared and we can't find any trace for the time being."

"Disappeared?"

Vladimir frowned slightly, drank the blood-colored liquid in the cup, and looked sharply at the Noxian nobles kneeling on the ground.

"As expected of a talented person from the Star Spirit, his strength has grown a lot during the time he has been away."

He chuckled softly, put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and walked in front of the Noxian noble. The gorgeous robes shone strangely in the light.

"Our people had been following him secretly, but suddenly they lost track of him, and the person who was following him also completely disappeared."

When the Noxian noble saw Vladimir's feet, he buried his head deep in the carpet, with inexplicable fear in his tone.

"We suspect he may have some mysterious power that allows him to evade our tracking."

"A very reasonable guess!"

Vladimir nodded slowly, stretched out his right hand, pointed at the Noxian noble, and a bloody glow appeared.

"But I don't blame you for not finding him."

"What I blame you for is why you didn't watch your back and lure outsiders over?"

Buzz!Buzz!

A bloody glow emerged and fell slowly.

The Noxian noble's originally pale face looked even more bloodless under the bloody light.

His eyes widened in horror, as if he wanted to shout, but found that he couldn't even make a sound.

He could only watch his body gradually dry up in the bloody light.

But in an instant.

The Noxian noble's skin began to become shriveled and tight, and his body gradually shrank until he finally turned into a mummy.

After finishing everything in front of him, Vladimir looked at the window edge and saw a black crow with its wings folded, watching him quietly with red eyes.

Crow eating frenzy!
