The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 148 Rune Alert Mauli IV

A very sad and sad love story.

After listening to Kalida's narration, Huo Jixing's expression gradually became serious.

The same was true for Jalal beside him, with a look of anger on his firm and steady face.

Kalida, an inventor from Piltover.

Earlier, he was employed by the Chamber of Commerce and came to the Mouuli family in Blood Cliff to conduct some experimental research.

During his free time at Maury Castle, he accidentally met the 12th son of Maury IV, and the two fell in love.

In the end, the relationship between the two was exposed, Fengzi got married, and received the blessing of Mauli IV.

What happened next was just as Kalida described.

Maury IV conducted a blood test on the baby and confirmed that the baby was the only qualified product in recent years, or even in recent decades.

They took the baby away, but underestimated the parents' feelings for their children.

"The husband died. The unknown experiment left the castle and lurked in the blood cliff."

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on Kalida's tired face, and he shook his head gently.

He didn't believe that a weak woman could escape from Mouli Castle with a Hex vinyl gun.

Not even the inventors of Piltover.

"There are people behind her helping her, but with the city-wide manhunt not long ago, it seems that the people behind her can't be suppressed anymore." Huo Jixing thought to himself.

"Do you have any specific information about Mouuli IV's secret experiment?" Jalal leaned forward and his calm eyes fell on Kalida.

Kalida seemed to have not had a good rest for a long time, her eyes were bloodshot, and her long gray hair was shiny.

"I don't know the specific information. My brother is in charge of the experiment, and the confidentiality level is very high."

"Well, I heard him talk about it by chance. It seemed to be about blood,"

Huo Jixing's heart moved when he heard this. He thought of the runes provided by Butum and looked gloomy.

"Where are your identities?" Kalida calmed down her inner emotions and stared at the two people in front of her with deep eyes.

Although he helped her avoid danger twice, she never let go of her inner vigilance.

"Rese Guards Corps."

Jalal spoke softly, took out a purple-black token, signaled it, and took it back into his arms.

Kalida looked surprised. She didn't expect that the person helping her would be the famous Leiser Guard Corps. Then she realized something and spoke frankly.

"Is the Noxian High Command investigating the Mauli family?"

"I have a detailed map of Mauuli Castle!"

Crunch!

The door is closed and the candle is extinguished.

Huo Jixing stood outside the door, thinking of the map provided by Kalida, with a smile on his face.

"Don't you want to say something?"

Jalal beside him smiled and spoke, with little ripples in his dark gray eyes.

Huo Jixing pointed to the quiet room, and then the two of them moved away and came to the corner of the courtyard.

"Scarlet Secret Society, have you heard of it?"

Jalal frowned, and then said bitterly: "Dedicate yourself to blood magic itself, and devote yourself to Vladimir's weird secret society?"

"Yes." Huo Jixing's eyes were solemn.

"I suspect that someone in the Mouli family has joined the Scarlet Secret Society and is studying blood magic."

He didn't expect that with his unexpected rescue, he would see something dirty hidden in the peaceful environment of Blood Cliff.

New babies, blood research, plus blood magic.

It's hard not to relate to Huo Jixing.

There are definitely people within the Mouuli family who are very popular, even Mouuli IV himself.

"Protect her." Huo Jixing ordered before leaving.

He had some premonition in his heart that Kalida's child would be the center point of this storm and the key point of his secret mission.

"What experiments are the Mouli family doing secretly?"

Looking at the Huoji star that blended into the night, Jalal looked depressed.

He was the person in charge of the Leather Guard Secret Office, but he encountered the Scarlet Secret Society incident.

There are records in the family that His Majesty the Scarlet Reaper Vladimir is still active in the Noxus Empire, using blood magic to disguise himself as a friendly socialite, so that no one can identify his identity.

"Hopefully. Hopefully it won't be the worst outcome."

Moully Castle.

This is a bloody castle rising from the ground, majestic and majestic.

The location is southwest of Blood Cliff, close to the mountains.

From a distance, the castle has a unique architectural form, with the main castle standing like a sword and a dome, and the other buildings scattered in an orderly manner.

The surrounding city walls are towering and made of light red stones, with red flags flapping in the wind.

The city gate is huge and thick, with iron chains intertwined, and the dim starlight shines with a faint blood-red glow.

In the castle's side hall, magic lights lit up.

"Father, this is Butum's body."

An old man of half a hundred years bowed and saluted, with a stretcher covered with white silk in front of him.Mouuli IV wore a luxurious black robe and a golden belt around his waist, and walked slowly down the throne.

He stood in front of the half-hundred-year-old man, squatted down, lifted up the white silk cloth, and saw the corpse with a broken neck, his eyes instantly darkened.

"Did Butum find the murderer?"

"Still looking, I already have some clues."

The half-hundred-year-old man spoke respectfully, still maintaining aristocratic etiquette.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to see the murderer tomorrow."

Mauli IV stood up, his eyes were deep and lively, not angry but powerful.

"Okay, father, I'll make arrangements then."

Half a hundred old men saluted, and out of the corner of their eyes they saw the healthy Mouli IV. They sighed inwardly and slowly retreated.

"Something is wrong. Has anyone noticed something?" Mouli IV sat high on the throne, his eyes dim.

The experiment originally went smoothly and everything was normal. However, in recent times, problems have arisen one after another, and a qualified experimental product has been missed.

This made him feel increasingly gloomy.

"We can't wait any longer. We must speed up the pace of experiments." Mouli IV leaned back on his chair and hid his figure in the darkness.

"Go ahead and let the Scarlet Apprentice go out for a walk." He looked at the corner of the hall, where he saw his most trusted butler.

"Okay!" The butler bowed and left slowly.

Mouli IV stood up and was about to walk to the study when he suddenly noticed something. He brushed his left hand over his waist and took out a hot red token.

"Huh? Someone triggered the rune alarm?"

In the dark shadow.

Huo Jixing looked at the brightly lit castle. The corridors extending in all directions were winding like a maze and were heavily guarded.

Fortunately, I had memorized the map of the interior of the castle before.

He began to walk along the corridor. The walls on both sides were covered with exquisite murals depicting the former owners of Mauuli Castle, silently witnessing the glorious history here.

"Somewhat similar."

Huo Jixing perfectly avoided the guarding noble guards and passed through the corridor in front of him, looking at several lifelike portraits hanging at the end.

The interior of the castle was the most gorgeous he had ever seen.

Every detail is so exquisite, as if created by the finest craftsmen.Every door, every window, every pillar is made with unparalleled craftsmanship.

"Thousands of years of history are indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

After Huo Jixing sighed, he quickly rushed to his destination——

The main castle study room.

However, when he looked at the dark wall in front of him and the bloody rune marks engraved on it, he felt helpless.

If you want to enter the study, you must pass through the area in front of you.

Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders and shook his head gently.

Now that Xueya is under martial law throughout the city, he doesn't have enough time, otherwise he could study blood witchcraft.

puff!
Huo Jixing's fingers were lit by the fire of Nanli.

In an instant, Nanli's fire covered his whole body, shining like red-gold feathered armor.

"This is not what I am good at, but I am good at violence!"

Clang!

Huo Jixing drew his sword and slashed at the dark wall in front of him.

Buzz!Buzz!
The blood-colored runes flickered, and the dense brilliance lit up, turning into a semicircular blood-colored light shield, covering the study area.

Click!

But the next moment.

The red-gold sword's light was sharp, shattering the blood-colored light barrier.

Huo Jixing ignored the falling bloody light, stepped forward, and forced his way into the study.

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
Just as he entered the study, he suddenly heard a sharp sound blasting over the castle.

Looking from a distance, bright red fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky.

Inside Mauli Castle.

The noble guards who saw the fireworks immediately gathered and rushed to the bottom of the main castle.

Then, under the command of the captain of the guard, the main fort was surrounded and no mistakes were missed.

"Arrange people to go in. The target of the infiltrator is the study." Mouuli IV looked up at his main castle with a gloomy expression.

What is the lurker looking for?
"Yes!"

After hearing the order, the guard captain acted quickly and divided four elite teams into the main castle.

With resolute faces and high morale, they walked quickly along the corridor and rushed to the study.

"Benevende, you are responsible for commanding this time. You must not let the damn infiltrator go." Mouuli IV turned to face the eldest son beside him and gave instructions.

Immediately afterwards, Mouuli IV himself walked towards the low building next to the main castle.

With a wave of his hand, the runes flickered and the door opened.
