The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 240 The secret buried in the Eye of Zuan

Youhil seemed to notice Huo Jixing's gaze and smiled softly.

"As you can see, I am indeed a hextech cyborg."

She reached out and touched her steel left arm, her eyes filled with trust and affection.

"The Hextech device is part of my body and gives me strength and speed far beyond that of a normal human being."

Huo Jixing nodded when he heard this.

In a city like Piltover, which is highly technologically advanced, technology for transforming people is not uncommon, but this was the first time he had seen transformations like Usil's.

Huo Jixing asked curiously: "Can you tell me why you chose to become a reformer?"

Among all the people in charge of the Reese Guard Secret Office that he had come into contact with before, Yousiel was the only reformed person he had ever met.

Yousil was silent for a moment, seeming to be recalling some past experiences.

Of course, Januk's extortion of employer fees also brought trouble to the police many times.

"I need to investigate a person, the inventor from Piltover, Kalida."

Ariel adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and gave his judgment and answer based on his own experience.

Some time ago, she received news from the Trifali Council, instructing her to fully assist Huo Jixing in carrying out secret missions in Piltover.

Huo Jixing fell into deep thought after hearing this. He understood that everyone has their own choices and pursuits.

Her eyes were extremely sharp, as if she was searching for something, and she finally stopped in front of a wall that was melted and destroyed.

"Eye of Zu'an?" Huo Jixing looked confused.

Caitlin stretched out her hand to touch the melted edge. The temperature of the stone wall melted, and her face changed slightly.

"This device not only enhances my physical capabilities, but also allows me to deal with some special dangerous situations."

"I chose to become a Hextech modified person so that I can better protect myself and those around me."

"Hilko!"

In the fringe area of ​​​​the lower urban area, the dirty streets look extremely deserted.

"Be careful. Although she is an ordinary inventor, there may be other forces behind her."

"But now, Jannuk can't be found. He seems to have completely disappeared."

Caitlin looked slightly solemn and walked slowly along the many chaotic traces in the museum.

This old museum, which was popular until last night, now looks dilapidated.

"Yes," Ariel replied.

Huo Jixing got straight to the point and directly revealed Kalida's location and related information.

"Jannuck, that second-rate dealer who smuggles and sells ancient collections?" Caitlin raised her eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her cold eyes.

They surrounded a dilapidated old museum and prohibited anyone from approaching.

In fact, he also had some doubts in his heart. As the Piltover police detective in charge of this area, he had dealt with Jannuck several times and received some favors.

She looked at the melted wall, where the remaining traces of runes and magic were clearly visible.

"There are also traces left on the scene. This is not like an ordinary museum director."

Yousil nodded slowly to express his understanding.

At the crossroads, Piltover guards were on guard duty.

"The lower urban area is a mixed place where it meets Zaun."

She spoke slowly: "Everyone has their own story and choice."

"The Eye of Zuan, which was once completely destroyed, seems to be resurrecting in recent times and is frequently doing things secretly."

An immigrated Freljordian who likes to sell and collect antiques, he will also charge his employer a fee to find some strange items.

"Sheriff, it has been confirmed that this is Januk's museum." Ariel walked over and replied in a deep voice.

Ariel heard this and decisively forgot about the favor fee given by Januk.

After pondering for a while, she said in a solemn tone: "I received a very secret message here."

"Judging from the traces left in the museum, he should have escaped with his collection."

As the Sheriff of Piltover, Caitlin has dealt with many difficult magical incidents, which have also put her in danger many times.

Hex Technology's transformation of humans may allow an ordinary person to have power comparable to that of an extraordinary person, but it also comes with unknown risks and challenges.

"Yes, its former owner's name was" Yousil's eyes flickered and he spoke in a low voice.

"The power of runes and magic!"

"Lord Huo Jixing, are you here for something important?" Youhil stared into Huo Jixing's eyes and asked respectfully.

"So, what exactly would make a museum director abandon his museum and run away?" Caitlin asked in a serious voice.

"I will arrange the specific reasons, um. I will also keep an eye on this matter personally."

Inside the museum, the collections that once filled the room have long since disappeared, leaving only some garbage and broken large artworks that cannot be taken away.

"No, Ariel. I will take charge of this myself."

Suddenly, a deep and firm voice came, attracting the attention of Caitlin and Ariel.

"Vi?"

Caitlin turned around and saw her familiar partner walking over with a solemn expression.

Wei's personality is very impatient, and she has a hot temper, so she rarely appears like this.

Ariel turned around and saw Vi, the well-known Piltover law enforcer in Piltover.

Under the bright morning light, Wei walked over with firm steps.

Her short pink hair was fluttering, and her jewel-like blue eyes revealed depth and calmness.

There are goggles on the top of the head, shining with the luster of technology.

The Hextech armor she wore shone in the light, looking hard and cold.

White bandages were wrapped around his hands, and the seemingly casual bandaging revealed a different style.

Vi can be seen holding back a yawn as she walks past the Piltover guards, holding a fragment with purple traces in her hand. Ariel was in awe of Vi and consciously took a step back to give up his position.

"Glimmer potion."

Wei Xinbu walked over and threw the fragment in his hand directly to Caitlin.

"I could smell this familiar smell from a long distance away."

"It seems that they used a lot of it in last night's battle. Although it has been processed, there are still some traces left."

Caitlin caught the fragment with purple traces, her eyes darkened slightly.

"Museum? It's a smuggling trade place, right?"

Vi's eyes fell on Ariel, then moved away to communicate with Caitlin.

"I think the museum director here has already been in contact with Zaun and is involved in the smuggling trade of shimmering potions."

"I will follow the clues and pursue them."

"Yes, I will arrange for someone to assist you." Caitlin nodded and agreed.

"Just him."

Vi moved her shoulders, stretched out her left hand, and pointed at Ariel.

"He is responsible for the security of this area and must be very familiar with it."

Ariel frowned. He had a headache when he heard about the shimmer potion and didn't want to get involved in this matter.

But under the gaze of Caitlin and Vi, he still nodded and said it was okay.

Myrdalda family castle.

Huo Jixing was walking slowly on the flat path, preparing to return to his room.

"tasty."

In his hand was a flagon filled with Piltover's specialty liquor.

Under the stimulation of the scorching alcohol, the Nanli Fire in the body began to stir slightly.

As soon as he took the elevator to the door of the room, Huo Jixing saw Hiro waiting silently.

"Lord Huo Jixing, please come over and have breakfast together." Hiro walked over quickly and spoke respectfully.

"Ok."

Huo Jixing smiled and nodded, agreeing, but secretly pondering in his heart.

Have you finally remembered to see me?

Or did you encounter something difficult when dealing with problems?

The interior of the towering main castle.

Huo Jixing followed Hero's footsteps through corridors and finally came to a magnificent restaurant.

The restaurant is covered with a soft red carpet, which is almost silent when you walk on it.

A roaring fire burns in the fireplace, emitting a warm glow that chases away the autumn chill.

When Huo Jixing walked into the restaurant, he saw Jagu Midarda, whom he had met once before.

He was sitting directly south of the long dining table, with a huge glazed window behind him. The morning sunlight shone on him through the window, casting a golden glow on him.

Jiagu is an old man with white hair, wearing a gold-rimmed red gown, looking solemn and majestic.

He looked at Huo Jixing quietly, his old eyes revealed a sharp and deep light, as if he could see through everything.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Huo Jixing, for taking so long to meet you."

Jagu's voice was calm and powerful, as if there was an irresistible majesty.

"There have been a lot of things going on recently, and the Evolution Day is coming soon. The Myrdalda family needs to make some preparations."

Huo Jixing sat at the north side of the dining table with a relaxed expression, feeling the appropriate temperature in the restaurant, and began to taste breakfast.

He didn't speak, just listened to Jia Gu's words quietly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Hiro, you go down first."

When Jia Gu saw Huo Jixing's posture, Gu Jing Bubo's eyes flashed with ripples, and then he waved his butler to leave.

"Lord Huo Jixing, I think Your Majesty Swain has told you about the Myrdalda family."

Jia Gu supported his chin with both hands, his lowered eyes hidden in the falling morning light.

"Things are in trouble now, and we want to get the empire's help again."

"Now? Again?" Huo Jixing swallowed the food in his mouth and laughed softly.

He looked at Jia Gu, who was still calm. He really hated conversations with hidden words. It was far better to go straight to the point.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Jia Gu looked at Huo Jixing, and a different emotion arose in his heart. It had been many years since the last person who dared to talk to him like this.

He didn't know what Huo Jixing's strength was, but getting Swain's attention would definitely not be as simple as it seemed.

Jagu sighed lightly, thinking about what happened last night and the intelligence information from Ezreal, his eyes darkened slightly.

When Ezreal took over the mission, he still had expectations in his heart.

After all, explorer Ezreal's name, good or bad, does resound throughout the continent of Valoran.

As for gaining full recognition from the Piltover Explorers Guild, in his eyes, it was just a matter of one sentence.

Ezreal did bring him some of the news he wanted.

But the truth of the matter was beyond his expectation.

Elixir of Glimmer, Zaun's forces, and the stolen Hexstone.

These things seem isolated, but Jagu is keenly aware of the connection between them.

He felt that a secret conspiracy was quietly going on, like an invisible spider web, gradually covering the Myrdalda family.

Jia Gu frowned, looked at Huo Jixing who was waiting, and spoke softly.

He did not want to rely on the power of the Noxus Empire, but the current situation should not be underestimated.

Therefore, he must re-examine the current dangerous situation, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and protect the safety of the Myrdalda family.
