Chapter 240 The Secret Buried in the Eye of Zuan
Youhil seemed to notice Huo Jixing’s gaze and smiled softly.
"As you can see, I am indeed a Hextech modified person."
She reached out and touched her steel left arm, her eyes filled with trust and affection.
“The Hextech device is part of my body, and it gives me strength and speed far beyond ordinary people.”
Huo Jixing nodded when he heard this.
In a city like Piltover, which is highly technologically advanced, the technology of transforming people is not uncommon, but this was the first time he had seen transformations like Usiel's.
Huo Jixing asked curiously: "Can you tell me why you chose to become a reformer?"
Among all the people in charge of the Leiser Guard Secret Office that I have contacted before , Yosiel is the only reformed person he has ever seen.
Yousil was silent for a moment, seeming to be recalling some past experiences.
She slowly said: "Everyone has their own story and choice."
"I chose to become a Hextech modified person so that I can better protect myself and the people around me."< br>
“This device not only enhances my physical ability, but also allows me to deal with some special dangerous situations.”
Huo Jixing fell into deep thought after hearing this. He understood that everyone has his own choice and pursuit.
Hextech's transformation of humans may allow an ordinary person to have power comparable to that of an extraordinary person, but it also comes with unknown risks and challenges.
"Lord Huo Jixing, are you here for something important?" Yousil stared into Huo Jixing's eyes and asked respectfully.
Some time ago, she received news from the Trifali Council, asking her to fully assist Huo Jixing in carrying out secret missions in Piltover.
"I need to investigate a person, the inventor of Piltover, Kalida."
Huo Jixing got straight to the point, directly telling Kalida's location and related information.
“Be careful, although she is an ordinary inventor, there may be other forces behind her.”
Yoshir nodded slowly to express his understanding.
"The lower urban area, the place where fish and dragons meet at the intersection of Zaan."
After pondering for a while, she said in a solemn tone: "I received a very secret message here."< br>
“The Eye of Zuan, which was once completely destroyed, seems to have resurrected in recent times, and is frequently doing things secretly.”
“Eye of Zuan?” Huo Jixing looked confused.
"Yes, its former owner's name was" Yousil's eyes flickered and he spoke in a low voice.
"Silko!"
In the edge area of the lower urban area, the dirty streets looked extremely deserted.
At the crossroads, there are Piltover guards on duty.
They surrounded a dilapidated old museum and prohibited anyone from approaching.
This old museum, which was popular until last night, now looks dilapidated.
Inside the museum, the collections that once filled the room have long since disappeared, leaving only some garbage and broken large artworks that cannot be taken away.
Caitlin looked slightly solemn and walked slowly along the many chaotic traces in the museum.
Her eyes were extremely sharp, as if she was searching for something, and she finally stopped in front of a melted and destroyed wall.
“The power of runes and magic!”
As the Sheriff of Piltover, Caitlin has dealt with many difficult magical incidents, which have also put her in danger many times.
She looked at the melted wall, and the remaining traces of runes and magic were clearly visible.
Caitlin stretched out her hand to touch the melted edge. The temperature of the stone wall melted, and her face changed slightly.
"Sheriff, it has been confirmed that this is Januk's museum." Ariel walked over and replied in a deep voice.
“But now, Jannuk is nowhere to be found, and seems to have completely disappeared.”
"Jannuck, that second-rate dealer who smuggles and sells ancient collections?" Caitlin raised her eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her cold eyes.
“Yes,” Ariel replied.
In fact, he also had some doubts in his heart. As the Piltover police detective in charge of this area, he had dealt with Jannuck several times and received some favors.
A Freljordian who immigrated here likes to sell and collect antiques. He will also charge his employer a fee to find some strange items.
Of course, Jannuk’s extortion of employer fees has also brought trouble to the police station many times.
"Judging from the traces left in the museum, he should have escaped with his collection."
Ariel adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and gave judgments and answers based on his own experience.
"So, what exactly would make a museum director abandon his museum and run away directly?" Caitlin asked in a solemn voice.
"There are still traces left on the scene. This is not like an ordinary museum director."
Hearing this, Ariel decisively forgot about the benefit fee given by Januk.
"I will arrange the specific reasons, um. I will also keep an eye on this matter personally."
"No need, Ariel. I will be personally responsible for this matter."
< br>Suddenly, a deep and firm voice came, attracting the attention of Caitlin and Ariel.
“Wei?”
Caitlin turned around and saw her familiar partner walking over with a solemn expression.
Wei's personality is very impatient, and she has a hot temper, so she rarely appears like this.
Ariel turned around and saw Vi, the well-known Piltover law enforcer.
Under the bright morning light, Wei walked over with firm steps.
The short pink hair is fluttering, and the jewel-like blue eyes reveal depth and calmness.
There are goggles on the top of the head, shining with the luster of technology.
The Hextech armor she wore shone in the light, looking hard and cold.
The hands are wrapped with white bandages. The seemingly casual bandaging reveals a different style.
Vi can be seen holding back a yawn as she walks past the Piltover guards, holding a fragment with purple traces in her hand. Ariel was in awe of Vi and consciously took a step back to give up his position.
"Glimmer Potion."
Wei Xinbu walked over and threw the fragment in his hand directly to Caitlin.
“I smelled this familiar smell from a long distance away.”
“It seems that they used a lot in the battle last night. Although they have been processed, there are still some traces left. Some traces.”
Caitlin caught the fragments with purple traces, her eyes darkened slightly.
"Museum? Is it a place for smuggling trade?"
Vi's eyes fell on Ariel, then moved away to communicate with Caitlin.
"I think the museum director here has already been in contact with Zaun and is involved in the smuggling trade of shimmering potions."
"I will follow the clues to pursue it."
< br>"Yes, I will arrange for someone to assist you." Caitlin nodded and agreed.
“Just him.”
Vi moved her shoulders, stretched out her left hand, and pointed at Ariel.
"He is responsible for the security of this area and must be very familiar with it."
Ariel frowned. When he heard the shimmer potion, he had a headache and did not want to get involved. thing.
But under the gaze of Caitlin and Wei, he still nodded, indicating that it was okay.
Myrdalda Family Castle.
Huo Jixing was walking slowly on the flat path, preparing to return to his room.
“It tastes good.”
He held a flagon in his hand, which was filled with Piltover’s specialty liquor.
Under the stimulation of the scorching alcohol, the Nanli Fire in the body began to stir slightly.
As soon as he took the elevator to the door of the room, Huo Jixing saw Hiro waiting silently.
"Lord Huo Jixing, please come over and have breakfast together." Hiro walked over quickly and spoke respectfully.
“Okay.”
Huo Jixing smiled and nodded, agreeing, but secretly pondering in his heart.
Have you finally remembered to see me?
Have you encountered any trouble when dealing with problems?
The interior of the towering main castle.
Huo Jixing followed Hero's footsteps and walked through corridors, finally arriving at a magnificent restaurant.
The restaurant is covered with a soft red carpet, which is almost silent when you walk on it.
A roaring fire burns in the fireplace, emitting a warm glow and dispelling the autumn chill.
When Huo Jixing walked into the restaurant, he saw Jagu Midarda, whom he had met once before.
He was sitting directly south of the long dining table, with a huge glazed window behind him. The morning sunlight shone on him through the window, casting a golden glow on him.
Jiagu is an old man with white hair, wearing a gold-rimmed red gown, looking solemn and majestic.
He looked at Huo Jixing quietly, his old eyes revealed a sharp and deep light, as if he could see through everything.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Huo Jixing, it took so long to meet you."
Jia Gu's voice was calm and powerful, as if there was an irresistible majesty.
"There have been a lot of things recently, and the Evolution Day is coming soon. The Myrdalda family needs to make some preparations."
Huo Jixing sat in the north of the dining table with a relaxed expression, feeling the suitable temperature in the restaurant. Start enjoying breakfast.
He didn't speak, just listened to Jia Gu quietly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Hiro, you go down first."
Jiagu saw Huo Jixing's posture, and there were little ripples in Gujing Bubo's eyes, and then waved his butler to leave.
"Lord Huo Jixing, I think Your Majesty Swain has told you about the Myrdalda family."
Jiagu supported his chin with both hands, his lowered eyes hidden in the falling morning light.
"Things are in trouble now. We want to get the empire's help again."
"Now? Again?" Huo Jixing swallowed the food in his mouth and chuckled.
He looked at Jia Gu, who was still calm. He hated conversations with hidden words. It was far better to go straight to the point.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Jia Gu looked at Huo Jixing, and a different emotion arose in his heart. It had been many years since the last person who dared to talk to him like this. .
He didn't know what Huo Jixing's strength was, but getting Swain's attention would definitely not be as simple as it seems.
Jia Gu sighed lightly, thinking about what happened last night and the intelligence information from Ezreal, his eyes darkened slightly.
When Ezreal took over the task, he still had expectations in his heart.
After all, explorer Ezreal's name, good or bad, does resound throughout the continent of Valoran.
As for gaining full recognition from the Piltover Explorers Guild, in his eyes, it was just a matter of one sentence.
Ezreal did bring him some of the news he wanted.
But the truth of the matter was beyond his expectation.
Glimmer Elixir, Zaun's forces, and the stolen Hexstone.
These things seem isolated, but Jagu is keenly aware of the connection between them.
He felt that a secret conspiracy was quietly going on, like an invisible spider web, gradually covering the Myrdalda family.
Jia Gu frowned, looked at Huo Jixing who was waiting, and spoke softly.
He did not want to rely on the power of the Noxus Empire, but the current situation cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, he must re-examine the current dangerous situation, find out the mastermind behind it, and protect the safety of the Myrdalda family.
