Chapter 143 Entering the Blood Cliff Dark Whisper


Chapter 143 Entering the Dark Secret of Blood Cliff

The orange glow faded and night gradually fell.

On the spacious and open commercial road, the lights lit up, reflecting the tall and solid blood-colored city walls.

Huo Jixing followed the Chamber of Commerce team and slowly came under the city wall.

The winding moat surrounds the blood cliff, and the huge wooden bridge is full of traffic and constant flow.

When we reached the wooden bridge, we saw armored soldiers patrolling the city gate.

With the credentials in hand, Huo Jixing and Petar easily crossed the wooden bridge and continued to move forward with the Chamber of Commerce team.

But before entering the city gate, Huo Jixing's eyes flickered.

The city gate inspection seems to be lax, but in fact it is very strict.

There are many eyes silently watching the city gate in the dark shadows, and there are many powerful people.

In the tall and majestic Blood Cliff City, bright lights shine brightly, seeming to light up the sky above the city.

Even when night falls, there are still bustling people walking through the streets.

They are smiling and friendly.

There are many bright lights in the shops on both sides of the street, and the vendors shout to passers-by wantonly, showing the vivid atmosphere of life to the fullest.

Huo Jixing sat on the carriage and walked along the street. He turned the corner and entered a noisy and bustling street, and came to the back door of a courtyard.

Petar got out of the car and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, someone smelling of alcohol opened the wooden door, chatted softly, and welcomed them in.

This is a tavern located in a bustling area, where business and dragon gates often come and go.

The front yard and back yard of the pub are connected together. The front yard belongs to the business area and the back yard is the living area.

Led by the servants in front of them, Huo Jixing and Petar came to a quiet and comfortable courtyard.

To have such an exquisite and elegant courtyard in a bustling street area shows that the owner behind it spent a lot of effort.

Prosperity and tranquility, two completely different city scenes.

But in front of and behind the tavern, they coexist harmoniously.

Crunch!

Pushing open the wooden door of the courtyard, a middle-aged man with a resolute and steady look stood in the middle. His calm eyes seemed to be able to see through the heart. His long golden hair and black dress added a bit of nobility and mystery.

"Jalal Underwood!"

When the middle-aged man saw Huo Jixing, his expression changed, and he stretched out his fair and slender right hand.

“Know me?” Huo Jixing looked a little confused, but he still stepped forward and shook his hand gently.

"The Underwood family is a staunch supporter of the Lord Commander." Jalal's eyes moved, he looked at Huo Jixing steadily, and spoke softly.

"My lord's name has been spread throughout the Leiser Guard Corps in recent times."

Huo Jixing's lips raised slightly when he heard this, and then under Jalal's guidance, he entered the courtyard room.

"I need intelligence information from Xueya."

The bright yellow candlelight lit up, and Huo Jixing got straight to the point.

"Wait a moment!" Jalal, who had just sat down, stood up, walked to the bookshelf in the corner, took out a parchment and placed it on the table.

“This is the intelligence information compiled by the secret office, about the Blood Cliff and the Mouli family.”

Huo Jixing took the parchment and did not open it in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Jalal, who had always maintained aristocratic etiquette.

"What do you think of Blood Cliff?"

Jalal leaned back in his chair, pondered for a while, and then spoke in a solemn voice: "Compared to other places in the empire, This place can be said to be a paradise."

"In recent decades, there has been no unrest, and even during the Brown Darkwill regime, a certain degree of order has been maintained."

Jalal felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about the scene when he first came to Blood Cliff.

"We Noxians are naturally eager for war, but here, it is too quiet and peaceful."

"And the Mouli family rarely shows up, but they can perfectly control Blood Cliff."

Huo Jixing nodded silently, looking beyond the window to a bloody castle hidden in the darkness in the distance.

Perhaps it is environmental reasons, or it may be other unknown reasons.

Blood Cliff is worthy of its name.

What you see along the way, whether it is the towering and majestic city walls, the bustling and crowded streets, or the buildings in the city, are mostly blood red. Contains the castle where Maury IV, the orderly of Bloodcliff, lives.

“Why is Noxtora in Blood Cliff closed to the outside world?” Huo Jixing unwrapped the red string of the parchment roll and was about to open it.

"The specific reason has not been found yet."

Jalal shook his head slightly, an inexplicable color appeared in his dark gray eyes: "But there is news that it seems to be Mouli The order of the fourth generation."

Huo Jixing frowned and lowered his eyes.

Reading the contents on the parchment carefully, some of the more important information has been marked in advance.

The Mauli family has been in charge of Blood Cliff for hundreds of years, and the current orderly is Mauli IV.

At the same time, Xueyaya has its own foreign trade port and conducts foreign trade all year round.

Sell defective products (goods with rough precision) to the Avarosa tribe in Frost City and the price will be doubled.

We will also conduct major trading activities with the Chamber of Commerce in Piltover, specifically purchasing some glass products and some special wines.

"Mouli IV, is he over a hundred years old?" Huo Jixing asked in surprise when he saw the marked age.

"Yes, this is also the reason why I took over the Blood Cliff Leather Guard Secret House." Jalal looked solemn.

"The issue of orderly officers and title succession will always cause some trouble."

Huo Jixing closed the parchment and waved it gently: "Can I make a copy?"

"Okay!" Jalal agreed immediately.

"There is also some information about the chamber of commerce in the city. You can make a copy. They have been cooperating with Mouli for a long time."

"Okay." Huo Jixing smiled. He nodded, then smelled the faint smell of alcohol in the air.

"Bring me a few bottles of strong liquor by the way. I have some good liquor."

"Haha, okay, then I will prepare some good liquor for you." Jalal smiled He got up and patted his chest to express that it was okay.

In the dark room, the bloody candlelight flickered.

“You should have killed her!”

The old man in brocade clothes placed a colander on the delicate edge of the tea cup and carefully placed two cubes of sugar.

He watched happily as the tea was poured down, the sugar cubes gradually melted and collapsed, his wrinkled face widened, and he couldn't help but let out a cheerful chuckle.

The last remaining residue of the sugar had nowhere to escape, and finally fell into the dark tea soup, causing some ripples.

"She may ruin our plan."

"I will hunt her down as soon as possible." In front of the old man in Jinyi, a tall figure stood, silver-rimmed glasses reflecting the crimson light.

"You understand, I don't want her." The old man in Jinyi waved his hand angrily.

“What I need is a child.”

The old man in golden clothes stared coldly at the tall man in front of him.

"There is news that the empire's high command is paying attention to the anomalies in Blood Cliff. Perhaps the agents of the Reiser Guard Corps have arrived at Blood Cliff."

"If you fail again."

" I can only blow out the sparks before the house burns down!”

Hearing this, the tall man’s mood fluctuated a little, and he stepped forward: “We agreed not to hurt her!”

"Haha, who violated the rules?" The old man in Jinyi chuckled softly, his eyes becoming colder.

"I have executed my child, now it's your choice"

"Your sister is still your hard work!"

The old man in Jinyi saw the tall man's expression struggling and lightly Sighing: "Now, everything we do is dark under the lamp."

"But once a spy from the Leiser Guard Corps notices the clues, I don't care, but what about you?"

"You and your hard work cannot live without Noxus!"

The old man in Jinyi drank the tea soup in front of him in one gulp and left the room slowly. Before leaving, he left a message.

“Don’t forget what we were pursuing in the first place!”
