The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 250 Hex Technology Laboratory

"Miss Giraman, Myrdalda Castle welcomes you, but you need to wait for a while."

Steward Hero said a little apologetically, and the gemstone monocle on her left eye reflected Caitlin's face.

"Because you don't have an appointment, I need to ask the head of the family for instructions."

"Okay, please, Butler Hiro." Caitlin spoke softly, a bright smile appearing on her tired face.

After a cup of tea.

Butler Hiro returned with a warm smile on his face, and his demeanor was full of humility.

He waved gently, and the castle guard guarding the door immediately understood and opened the heavy iron door.

Then Steward Hero walked over with a polite gesture and invited Caitlin to follow him to the main castle.

Caitlin Gilaman is not just the Sheriff of Piltover, she has a slightly special identity.

Caitlin made no secret and directly stated the purpose of her trip.

He returned to the living room and whispered in Jagu's ear.

"Just wait here for a while and I can ask you something."

"Lord Huo Jixing happens to have time, and he agreed to meet you, Gila Mann." Jagu nodded slowly and said to Caitlin.

Steward Hero personally led Caitlin into the heavily guarded castle.

In Piltover, the Myrdalda family is extremely powerful and wealthy, and can be said to be the top oligarch.

The red carpet is soft and thick, and the flames in the fireplace are jumping, dispelling the autumn chill.

At the Piltover Council, which opened at dawn, Caitlin was questioned, but she described in detail the battle in the Zodiac vault last night.

Even though Caitlin was held accountable for what happened last night at the morning meeting, she almost lost her position as Sheriff.

In the corridor of the main castle, portraits of ancestors of the Myrdalda family are hung on the walls on both sides, telling the story of the past glory.

Later, at Camille's strong request, the Parliament mobilized most of Piltover's forces and moved into the city.

Caitlin bowed and saluted, followed Butler Hero and slowly exited the living room.

The matter of the Hex Mimic has attracted the attention of Professor Heimerdinger.

"I have no right to promise you directly, Gila Mann." Jagu put down the teacup in his hand, a smile appearing on his old face.

"I would like to request a meeting with the advisor of the Myrdalda family."

This is just superficial news. As for the secret friendship, no one can tell clearly except the person involved.

If Huojixing hadn't happened to arrive last night, the Myrdalda family would have lost the Hex gems and stabilizing devices stored in the Zodiac vault.

Caitlin's purpose this time was simple. She wanted to meet with the advisor of the Myrdalda family and ask for some information about the Eye of Zaun and the Mimic of Hex.

The crimson dusk falls, carefully decorating the tall and gorgeous buildings.

With the relationship between the Myrdalda family and Jace, Jagu would definitely not refuse to see Caitlin.

He thought about his son's evaluation of Huo Jixing's strength and Camille's description of Huo Jixing's strength at the Dawn Council, and made a decision secretly.

Jia Gu restrained his inner thoughts, his deep eyes fell on Butler Shiloh who was waiting beside him, and nodded gently.

"Gila Mann, is there something urgent?" Jagu picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

The small and medium-sized chamber of commerce families did not dare to stop their atrocities and allowed themselves to be looted.

And he has a remarkable friendship with Congressman Jess Tallis.

He announced at that time that the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress would conduct an internal investigation and give an explanation to Congress.

"Butler Hiro, what is the temperament and character of Mr. Huo Jixing in your mouth?"

"This is secretly targeting the Midarda family." Jagu instantly understood the intentions of the forces behind the Eye of Zuan.

The forces behind the Eye of Zaun are once again targeting the Myrdalda family's Hex Gem.

Wait for a while.

Caitlin looked at Jagu who was sitting upright on the main seat, bowed and saluted, and spoke respectfully.

On the way to the castle next door, Caitlin couldn't help her curiosity and asked the old man in front of her.

Caitlin entered the main castle's living room under the guidance of Steward Hero.

In fact, when they learned about Huo Jixing's name, the Myrdalda family had already used their connections in the Noxus Empire to investigate.

At the end of the Piltover Council, he got the news as quickly as possible, and also understood the reasons behind the Zodiac basement last night.

"Thank you for your help!"

The news he received shocked Jia Gu, who was amazed at Huo Jixing's talent and his relationship with Cui Fali's three-person council.

Once the forces behind the Eye of Zaun lose the reputation of House Myrdalda, they will be able to act unscrupulously in Piltover.

Hero immediately understood what Jagu meant, and stepped out of the living room, went to the side hall, and used the sound transmission tube inside the castle.

She is a descendant of the Gila Mann family.

"I have met Lord Jarl."

She couldn't help but recall the battle that took place in the Zodiac basement last night.

The handsome young man who appeared at the end, with his calm demeanor, easily destroyed all the people in the city.

Including the very powerful Hex Mimic who stopped them.

"Master Huo Jixing has a very good temper and a very humble attitude."

Butler Hiro pushed up his gemstone monocle, recalled several meetings between himself and Huo Jixing, and responded softly.

"Don't be too nervous, just relax, Miss Gila Mann."

After hearing this, Caitlin felt certain, entered the gorgeous castle, and took the elevator.

dong dong!dong dong!
A rhythmic knock on the door sounded.

Huo Jixing was sitting casually in the study, carefully browsing the latest information sent to him.

Facing each other, Jal's face was honest and his body was upright.

Hearing the knock on the door, Jal quickly stood up and hurried to the door.

"Gila Mann." Jael opened the door and saw Caitlin standing there, and said with a smile.

"Jal?"

Caitlin was surprised, a little surprised by Jal's presence.

According to her understanding of the heirs of the Myrdalda family, Jarl will now search for ancient holy objects in many secret realms on the continent of Shurima.

"come in."

Jarl turned sideways and motioned for Caitlin to enter the room.

After the people arrived, Steward Hero said hello and returned to the main castle.

Huo Jixing heard the approaching footsteps and looked up, just in time to see Caitlin.

Within the field of vision, Caitlin was wearing a blue uniform representing the police chief. She had narrow shoulders and a slim waist. She was paired with a plaid skirt, but she had a feminine look.

It seemed that he had been up all night, with long dark purple hair hanging around his shoulders, and a slightly cold face showing fatigue, but his eyes were still bright and bright.

"I've met Master Huo Jixing."

Caitlin looked at Huo Jixing in front of her. He looked ordinary and did not have the imposing aura of last night.

"I've heard your name, Caitlin."

Huo Jixing stood up, stretched out his right hand, and spoke with a smile.

Caitlin raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly surprised by Huo Jixing's words.

She looked at the palm in front of her, suppressed her doubts, and shook it gently. "What do you want from me?"

Huo Jixing released his right hand, motioned for Caitlin to sit down, and went straight to the road.

After returning last night, he casually handed the two metal boxes to Jarl, returned to his room, and entered a state of cultivation.

The next day, Jarl sent not only the information from the Zodiac vault last night, but also the news from the Piltover Parliament at dawn.

"I would like to ask Lord Huo Jixing how much he knows about the Eye of Zuan, and the fighting ability of the people in the city last night."

Caitlin understood that the opportunity at the moment was rare, and thinking of the task given to her by the council, she asked with a tone of inquiry.

Huo Jixing's heart moved, thinking of the loss of Pi City guards last night.

"I really don't know much about the Eye of Zaun. Maybe you can ask the Gilaman family, or Camille."

He told the truth and had almost no impact on the resurrected Eye of Zaun.

I just heard that the Leiser Guard Secretariat and the Myrdalda family mentioned it, saying that it was the gang force that Zaun once destroyed.

"As for the fighting power of those people in the city last night, I suggest that the ordinary guards in Pi City should not participate in the battle."

After Huo Jixing finished speaking, he looked deeply at Caitlin in front of him.

In terms of combat ability evaluation, as a female police officer in Piltover, why would she ask others for advice so abruptly.

Are you worried about me? Huo Jixing thought secretly.

It seems that the shock of the battle last night to the Piltover Council made them fearful.

Huo Jixing glanced at the intelligence information placed on the table.

After a whole night of analysis by the Myrdalda family's think tank.

Such a hasty robbery in the Zodiac Base last night meant that the forces behind the Eye of Zaun were somewhat unable to restrain themselves.

In other words, their experiment is almost complete, but some of the Hex Stones are missing.

The specific time of the experiment cannot be determined, but it is related to the upcoming Evolution Day event.

The gears of Piltover and Zaun's destiny are about to start turning.

Huo Jixing looked at Jial and saw him shrugging his shoulders, thoughtfully.

Such a critical moment.

As a powerful man from the Noxus Empire, Hojixing will definitely attract the attention of the Piltover Council.

The Myrdalda family and the Piltover Council no longer expect too much from them.

The huge trade brought by the Noxus Empire is an advantage that all the merchant families in Piltover cannot refuse.

As for Caitlin.

She is the figure that the parliament has brought to the forefront, and there will definitely be more preparations secretly.

Huo Jixing chatted with Caitlin for a few more words, and Jal would interrupt the conversation from time to time.

But the specific content of the chat was mostly Caitlin asking again, and Huo Jixing answering, involving the Eye of Zuan, and testing his thoughts.

"Thank you for your help. It's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest."

Caitlin looked out the window at the darkening sky. After realizing that she couldn't get any useful information, she asked to leave.

"Jael, help me see Caitlin off."

Huo Jixing stood up, smiled at Caitlin, and turned to look at Jial.

Jarl nodded in understanding and left the room with Caitlin.

Bright lights illuminate the study.

Huo Jixing stood in front of the window, watching the departing figures of Jial and Caitlin below.

"The Parliament of Piltover!"

He took out the dim Hex gem from his arms, felt the magical power inside, and chuckled.

Although the Myrdalda family is extremely powerful, they have connections with the Noxus Empire.

But it only has one parliamentary seat and cannot fully control the parliament.

They can only influence other members of Congress through their own strength and interests.

As for the Piltover Parliament, after accepting Jess, there are eight members.

It can be seen that the murky waters within Piltover cannot be stirred up by ordinary forces.

[Decompose rune items? 】

A cold rising sound rang in my ears.

Huo Jixing carefully looked at the Hex gem in his hand, and looked at the data panel floating on his pupils, his eyes twinkling.

This was the system message he accidentally heard when he picked up the Hex Gem.

The Hex Gem was a recognized [Rune Item] in the scan of the data panel.

"The magical energy it contains?"

Huo Jixing looked at the blue light reflected by the Hex gem and nodded slowly.

【break down! 】

Dark green data flow overflowed from his eyes and quickly wrapped around the Hex Gem.

Immediately afterwards, the 'indestructible' Hex gem was eroded and melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Congratulations to the host, the decomposition was successful and the essence*30 was obtained! 】

"It's not bad. After consuming most of the Hex gems, 30 points of essence can still be decomposed." Huo Jixing nodded with satisfaction.

Myrdalda Family Laboratories.

This is a laboratory with solid walls built of snow-white rocks and a roof made of refined steel.

It's not far from the bustling Chamber of Commerce area, but there are patrolling Piltover guards everywhere on the streets, which looks much stricter.

Huo Jixing and Jal arrived at the door of the laboratory with the Midarda family crest.

"The impact of the collapse of the Zodiac basement is still spreading, and the Council has to send more Piltover guards to patrol the streets to maintain order."

Jal pointed to a group of Piltover guards walking in front of him, his expression slightly solemn.

Huo Jixing didn't care about the situation Piltover encountered, and was looking at the Myrdalda family's laboratory in front of him.

In front of the laboratory, eight people wearing uniforms representing the Midarda family's colors and armed with Hextech standard spears were guarding the entrance.

Seeing the arrival of Jial and Huo Jixing, they quickly pushed open the heavy iron door and saluted respectfully.

Huo Jixing and Jial walked along the flat road and entered the laboratory.

The bright magic lamps are like stars in the night sky, dotted on the walls of the laboratory, casting a soft and bright light.

Looking around, there are many people wearing strange devices in the laboratory.

They either looked in a hurry or were fiddling with the utensils in their hands intently.

Huo Jixing saw that their movements were skillful and agile, and their eyes shone with a desire for knowledge and curiosity about the unknown. This enthusiasm seemed to be able to infect the laboratory.

Huo Jixing stopped in front of a large, open room with an ordinary carriage inside.

But then, he noticed the Hex power cabin on the main shaft below, as well as the gold and silver wiring connecting the front and rear axles.

The power cabin was emitting soft light, and Huo Jixing smelled a smell of copper rust.

"This is a self-propelled locomotive." Jal looked over and spoke softly.

"It's the latest design from the family inventor, and it's still improving."
