The Glory of Noxus.

Chapter 338 Changes in Piltover Heimerdinger’s Invitation

Piltover, trading area.

Jarl rode the Hex Ring, looking helplessly at the snow-white Poro in his arms, and gently stretched out his hand to comfort him.

He had just finished his afternoon research and was going to take it with him to the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress.

But unexpectedly, this little guy seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly he became anxious and wanted to run out of the castle.

As a last resort, Jarl drove his Hex Ring and quickly headed to the port area under the guidance of the snow-white Poro.

Before entering the port, Snow White Poro called out with a 'wow' and pulled his clothes to make him stop.

Jarl stopped the Hex Ring and looked at the snow-white Poro's paws, and was stunned for a moment.

In the crowd below, he saw a familiar figure who had disappeared for a long time.

He immediately lowered the Hex Ring and jumped off with the snow-white Poro in his arms.

Jia Gu spoke with a smile, ripples in his deep eyes.

More importantly, His Majesty Swain also pays great attention to him.

Jal bowed and saluted, his honest face full of respect.

Huo Jixing gently touched the snow-white Poro in his arms.

When he was in the trade area, he felt some inexplicable and strange changes in this little guy.

Huo Jixing recalled that due to the expulsion of Storm Fury Janna, he did not have time to take the little guy away and left it with the Midarda family.

Cycling on the Hex Ring was too exciting, but during the conversation, many people came to watch.

Main castle, restaurant.

Entering Piltover this time, he was surprised not to notice the feeling of repulsion brought by Stormfury Janna.

"There is no obvious rejection, does it mean that I can come and go freely?" Huo Jixing thought secretly in his heart.

"So the previous expulsion was just a small punishment?"

Huo Jixing held the snow-white Poro in his arms and looked at this long-lost building, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.

Jarl knew very well that Huo Jixing's future was limitless and he would definitely become a high-ranking figure in the Noxus Empire.

In front of Myrdalda Castle.

Jal chuckled, looked at the concerned eyes around him, and asked.

"That's my job."

Coupled with the terrifying strength shown by Huo Jixing in the Jingshui Prison incident.

This old man with white hair and a red gown with gold trim was slowly getting up and paying respects to Huo Jixing.

Just don't know what happened in the time he was gone.

Huo Jixing pulled the snow-white Poro and rubbed his plush body, which had gained a lot of weight.

Although he could only watch from a distance due to the intimidation of the Medalda family emblem, it had already attracted the attention of the Piltover guards.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time. Tsk tsk, this little guy's food is good."

Gorgeous glazed lamps hang from the dome, and soft and bright lights fall to the ground.

"Welcome back!"

The fire burned in the fireplace, dispersing the remaining autumn chill in the room.

Huo Jixing is not only a good friend of Glory Executioner Draven, but he is also an officer that General Darius values ​​very much.

"I heard that the Myrdalda family was looking for me after the incident. There was so much trouble."

"Long time no see, Jael."

"Want to meet my father?"

"Let's go."

Huo Jixing nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Huo Jixing looked at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table and gained insight into the castle owner's thoughts.

Huo Jixing walked along the red carpet and saw Jagu Midarda at the head seat of the long dining table.

The snow-white poro climbed along the trousers and onto Huo Jixing's shoulders, waving its little paws to express dissatisfaction in a humane way.

After nearly two months, he returned here again.

"Lord Huo Jixing!"

He felt Huo Jixing's eyes lingering on him for a moment.

I also understand why His Majesty Swain pays attention to this young transcendent.

Since the last time he entered the Noxus Empire to visit His Majesty Swain, Jagu deliberately learned more about Huo Jixing from many friends.

Huo Jixing shook his head helplessly and followed Jagu towards the gate of Midarda Castle.

Then he seemed to remember something and turned back to look at the sky. The bleak autumn wind blew the clouds, bringing a refreshing feeling.

Under Jal's gaze, he sat directly opposite the long dining table and enjoyed the rare food.

Compared to the cookie-cutter seafood food in Bilgewater, Piltover has a much wider variety of food.

Huo Jixing chatted with Jia Gu while eating delicious food.

During the brief conversation, he learned about some changes that had occurred in Piltover during this time.

The Piltover Council and many Chamber of Commerce families obtained a lot of sophisticated Hex technology in Stillwater Prison.

And this part of the power is undoubtedly a huge strategic resource.

It could even change the balance of power between Piltover and Zaun.

Now every force in Piltover is working hard to digest this part of technological knowledge.

As a result, Jace improved Hextech's flying door technology and strengthened Piltover's trade economy.

He also redesigned Piltover's existing Hex weapons to improve the city's overall defense capabilities.

Camille also used the strength of the Philos family to gain some knowledge of the Hex Mimic and transformed her own body.

This special transformation not only enhanced her physical strength, but also made her more flexible and versatile in battle, making her the family's ultimate ace.

In addition, Jagu also revealed some secret research of the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress.

Led by Professor Heimerdinger, a number of Hextech projects are being implemented.

Relying on the intelligence channels of the Midarda family, Jagu got the names of several research topics, tentative research on the Source Project.

In the relaxed and happy atmosphere, Huo Jixing swallowed the food in his mouth and talked and laughed softly.

Although Jia Gu's words were still gentle and kind, he still noticed some changes in his attitude.

The Myrdalda family began to lean toward the Noxian Empire.

Although it was not obvious, Huo Jixing was still keenly aware of it compared to the previous meetings.

Huo Jixing was a little confused.

As a powerful business magnate in Piltover, Jagu's influence is by no means limited to the commercial field. There are also many armed forces under his family.

However, Jiagu's change in attitude made him somewhat suspicious of the other party's true intentions.

However, Huo Jixing suppressed all doubts in his heart and did not ask rashly.

At the end of dinner.

Jiagu put down the knife and fork in his hand, took off the napkin, and patted his hands gently toward the door.

Squeak!

The door with thick wooden pattern opens.

Butler Hiro slowly walked up to Huo Jixing carrying a silver plate covered with red gauze.

He bowed slightly, with a respectful and gentle smile on his face.

Huo Jixing's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to lift the red gauze, only to see several magic runes placed on it.

Colorful brilliance filled the room, reflecting his young and handsome face.

"You are aware of the recent situation in the laboratory, and the demand for Hex gems has increased." Jal said slightly apologetically.

"I can only provide you with these magical rune items in front of you."

Although the refining technology innovation of Hex Technology makes it possible to make Hex gems now, it does not require the production of a few gems a year as in the past.

However, many Chamber of Commerce families' laboratories are in need of Hex gems to verify the Hex technology knowledge leaked from Stillwater Prison.

As a result, Hex gem production cannot keep up with demand.

Huo Jixing looked surprised, paused for a moment, and said softly to Jial. .

"These magic rune items are enough, thank you very much." Hearing this, Jal's old face showed a happy smile.

"Lord Huo Jixing, you are very polite. It is my honor to be able to help you."

"I will also continue to collect some magic rune items for you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the trust between them seemed to be further deepened at this moment.

"Do you want to stay in the castle?" Jarl asked.

"Your room has been reserved until now, and you can come and stay at any time."

"No, I have something else to do."

Huo Jixing shook his head and refused, and then left Midarda Castle under the farewell of Jal and Jia Gu.

The night was dark.

The streets of Piltover still show off their bustle.

On the neat and tidy road, rows of street lamps light up with gentle light, like stars falling into the world, dispelling the darkness.

Unlike the bloody and violent nights in Bilgewater, the nights in Piltover appear calm and orderly.

From time to time, Piltover guards in uniforms patrol the streets, passing by the nocturnal Piltover people.

Holding the snow-white Poro in his arms, Huo Jixing followed the route in his memory and arrived at the Leiser Guard Secret Office on the Avenue of the Stars.

After the Stillwater Prison incident, the Reiser Guard Secretariat was almost semi-public.

But secretly, there are soldiers from the Leiser Guard Corps hiding in secret, collecting information secretly.

Huo Jixing entered this quiet building with silent footsteps.

In the study on the second floor, bright yellow light shines on the corridor through the gap in the door.

Yoshir was sitting at his desk, immersed in a pile of documents and reports.

She frowned, focused and serious.

As the head of the Leather Guard Secretariat based in Piltover, Yosiel has performed well and fulfilled his responsibilities.

Even though her job was heavy and complicated, she never complained.

Especially when assisting Huo Jixing, she received many military awards.

This is an affirmation of her work and the motivation for her hard work.

However, after Huo Jixing disappeared, the situation changed.

Because no trace of Huo Jixing could be found, the Trifali Council held Youshil accountable.

This made her very helpless.

What makes Youshil even more confused is that in the intelligence exchange a few days ago, the Trifali Council suddenly canceled her punishment and kept her rewards.

This unexpected change made Youshil very confused and didn't know what happened.

After handling the affairs at the table, Yousiel moved his arms, and a blue light flashed in his metal prosthetic eyes, carefully considering the changes in the Trifali Council.

"Ok?"

When Yoshir heard the sound of subtle footsteps outside the door, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately looked up at the door and spoke sternly.

"who is it?"

"it's me."

Huo Jixing held the snow-white Poro in his arms, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Lord Huo Jixing!"

Yousil looked shocked at first, then realized what he was doing and quickly stood up to salute.

"Don't worry about so many false gifts."

Huo Jixing came to the desk, sat down casually, and looked at Youshil.

Her appearance has not changed much, she is tall, sexy and elegant.

However, compared to before, Yousiel's body, hair and skin are more delicate, just like a real person, and there is no trace of a modified person at all.

"It's Hex Mimic technology." Youshil said.

She did not sit down. As a person who had personally experienced Jingshui Prison, she understood Huo Jixing's powerful strength.

"The Myrdalda family fished out many Hex experiments in the Piart River."

"It contains some Hex Mimic technology."

Yousiel pulled up his sleeves, revealing his pure white skin, which looked almost like a real person.

"Later, they cooperated with the Philos family of Camille and achieved a lot of results."

"As a result, my body has been fully transformed by the Myrdalda family's Hex Technology Laboratory."

Huo Jixing grinned and said, "It looks very good, much better than before."

His attitude was very gentle, completely different from when he was at Myrdalda Castle.

"Our ability to transform humans changes based on Hex Technology."

Yousiel's white arms swayed slightly, the skin melted away, and the silver metal structure appeared in Huo Jixing's field of vision.

At the same time, her metal prosthetic eyes lit up with blue light and swept across the room.

Huo Jixing clapped his hands and nodded, becoming more and more curious about Piltover's changes.

"Take down the latest intelligence information since I left, and bring it all over."

After a cup of tea.

Huo Jixing put down the letter in his hand, shrugged his shoulders, and laughed softly.

He suddenly understood why Jagu showed such enthusiasm in Midarda Castle.

In the nearly two months since his disappearance, many interesting things had happened in Piltover.

And it all started because of the commotion he and Vladimir made in Stillwater Prison.

Although the Empire shrunk under Swain's policies, the battle in Stillwater Prison reached the Trifali Council.

Hex Technology, which was once despised, actually possesses such terrifying combat power.

The power of the Noxian Empire moves south again, approaching Piltover and Zaun.

The news spread to Piltover and Zaun, causing a huge shock.

For many forces, the threat of the Noxian Empire means they must make a choice.

Should you continue to stand your ground, or compromise for the sake of survival?
This issue has caused many chambers of commerce families and alchemy barons to get into trouble.

In such a turbulent situation, many inventors directly took their Hextech knowledge and took refuge in the Noxus Empire.

Jagu of the Myrdalda family even found a connection and went to the Immortal Fortress in person to pay a visit to His Majesty Swain.

The content of the conversation is unknown, but after Jagu returned to Piltover, House Myrdalda became even more powerful.

Zu An's situation is similar.

Urgot completely occupied the trench area and recruited a large number of Zaun gang members and alchemy technology researchers.

Become the most powerful force outside of Lenata and the Alchemy Baron Alliance.

In short, during the Stillwater Prison incident, the Hextech knowledge Victor left behind brought new opportunities to the Twin Cities.

But it also attracted the attention of external forces.

In the eyes of the Noxus Empire, Piltover and Zaun can only serve as maritime trade transit points to gain wealth for the empire.

Absolutely no independent power.

The next morning.

The crimson glow filled the sky, soaked through the soft curtains, and fell into the room.

Huo Jixing just ended his meditation and opened his eyes, only to see the snow-white Poro lying beside the bed, sleeping deeply, with golden light disappearing around him.

Hearing the noise, the little guy immediately opened his eyes, jumped on his shoulders, and rubbed his face affectionately with his soft hair.

Huo Jixing smiled and rubbed its head, responding to its intimacy and dependence.

Then he got up and left the room, heading to the dining room.

As soon as Huo Jixing entered, he saw Yousiel waiting for him, holding an invitation letter in his hand.

"Whose is it?" Huo Jixing took it casually.

"Professor Heimerdinger."
