The Glory of Noxus

"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.

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.

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

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

Does it have any connection to the Noxian Empire?

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

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

"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."

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

"The Philos family is also worth noting."

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

"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.

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

Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed and he nodded slowly.

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

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

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

"He has something the Trifari Council wants."

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

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

"receive."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Returning to his residence, Huo Jixing opened the door.

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.
