Chapter 250 Hex Technology Laboratory
“Miss Gila Mann, Myrdalda Castle welcomes you, but you need to wait for a while.”
Butler Hero is slightly apologetic. He said, the gemstone monocle worn on his left eye reflected Caitlin's face.
“Because you didn’t make an appointment, I need to ask the head of the family for instructions.”
“Okay, if I’m sorry to trouble you, Butler Hiro.” Caitlin spoke softly, with a bright smile on her tired face. smile.
After a cup of tea.
Butler Shiloh returned with a warm smile on his face, and his demeanor was full of humility.
He waved gently, and the castle guard guarding the door immediately understood and opened the heavy iron door.
Then Steward Hero stepped over with a polite gesture and invited Caitlin to follow him to the main castle.
Caitlin Gilaman is not just the Sheriff of Piltover, she has a slightly special identity.
She is a descendant of the Gila Mann family.
And he has an extraordinary friendship with Senator Jess Tallis.
With the relationship between the Myrdalda family and Jace, Jagu will definitely not refuse to see Caitlin.
Even though Caitlin was held accountable for what happened last night at the morning meeting, she almost lost her position as Sheriff.
Butler Hero personally led Caitlin into the heavily guarded main castle.
In the corridor of the main castle, portraits of ancestors of the Myrdalda family are hung on the walls on both sides, telling the story of the past glory.
Under the guidance of Steward Hero, Caitlin entered the main castle's living room.
The red carpet is soft and thick, and the flames in the fireplace are jumping, dispelling the autumn chill.
“I have met Mr. Jarl.”
Caitlin looked at Jagu who was sitting upright on the main seat, bowed and saluted, and spoke respectfully.
"Gila Mann, is there something urgent?" Jagu picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
At the end of the Piltover Council, he got the news as quickly as possible and understood the reasons behind the Zodiac basement last night.
The forces behind the Eye of Zaun are once again targeting the Myrdalda family's Hexstone.
If Huojixing hadn't arrived last night, the Myrdalda family would have lost the Hex gems and stabilizing devices stored in the Zodiac vault.
"This is secretly targeting the Midarda family." Jagu instantly understood the intentions of the forces behind the Eye of Zuan.
In Piltover, the Myrdalda family is extremely powerful and wealthy, and can be said to be the top oligarch.
Once the forces behind the Eye of Zaun lose the reputation of House Myrdalda, they will be able to act unscrupulously in Piltover.
The small and medium-sized chamber of commerce families did not dare to stop their atrocities and allowed themselves to be plundered.
“I would like to request a meeting with the advisor of the Myrdalda family.”
Caitlin made no secret and directly stated the purpose of her trip.
At the Piltover Council, which opened at dawn, Caitlin was questioned, but she described in detail the battle in the Zodiac vault last night.
The matter of the Hex Mimic has attracted the attention of Professor Heimerdinger.
He announced at that time that the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress would conduct an internal investigation and give an explanation to the parliament.
Later, at Camille's strong request, the Parliament mobilized most of Piltover's forces and stationed themselves inside the city.
Caitlin's purpose this time is very simple. She wants to meet with the adviser of the Myrdalda family and ask for some information about the Eye of Zaun and the Mimic of Hex.
"I have no right to promise you directly, Gila Mann." Jagu put down the teacup in his hand, a smile appearing on his old face.
"Wait here for a while, I can ask for you."
He thought of his son's evaluation of Huo Jixing's strength, and Camille's comments about Huo Jixing at the Dawn Council. Pole Star's strength description, making a decision secretly.
In fact, when they learned about Huo Jixing's name, the Myrdalda family had already used their connections in the Noxus Empire to investigate.
The news he received shocked Jia Gu and marveled at Huo Jixing's talent and his relationship with Cui Fali's three-person council.
This is just superficial news. As for the secret friendship, no one can tell clearly except the person involved.
Jiagu restrained his inner thoughts, his deep eyes fell on Butler Shiloh who was waiting beside him, and nodded gently.
Hiro immediately understood what Jagu meant, and stepped out of the living room, went to the side hall, and used the sound transmission tube inside the castle.
Wait a while.
He returned to the living room and whispered in Jiagu's ear.
"Lord Huo Jixing happens to have time, and he agreed to meet you, Gila Mann." Jagu nodded slowly and said to Caitlin.
“Thank you very much for your help!”
Caitlin bowed and saluted, followed Butler Hero and slowly exited the living room.
The crimson dusk glow falls, carefully decorating the tall and gorgeous buildings.
On the way to the castle next door, Caitlin couldn't help her curiosity and asked the old man in front of her.
"Steward Hiro, what is the temperament of Mr. Huo Jixing in your words?"
She couldn't help but recall the battle that took place in the Zodiac basement last night.
The handsome young man who appeared at the end, with his calm demeanor, easily destroyed all the people in the city.
Including the very powerful Hex Mimic to stop them.
"Master Huo Jixing has a very good temper and a very humble attitude."
Butler Hiro pushed up his gemstone monocle, recalled several meetings between himself and Huo Jixing, and responded softly.
"Don't be too nervous, just relax, Miss Gila Mann."
Hearing this, Caitlin felt determined, entered the gorgeous castle, and took the elevator.
Boom! Boom!
A rhythmic knock on the door sounded.
Huo Jixing was sitting casually in the study, carefully browsing the latest information sent over.
Facing each other, Jal has a simple and honest face and a straight body.
Hearing the knock on the door, Jal quickly stood up and hurried to the door.
"Gila Mann." Jael opened the door and saw Caitlin standing there, and said with a smile.
"Jal?"
Caitlin was surprised, a little surprised by Jal's presence.
According to her understanding of the heirs of the Myrdalda family, Jarl will now search for ancient holy objects in many secret realms on the Shurima continent.
“Come in.”
Jar turned his body sideways and motioned for Caitlin to enter the room.
After the people arrived, Butler Shiloh said hello and returned to the main castle.
Huo Jixing heard the approaching footsteps and looked up, just in time to see Caitlin.
In the field of vision, Caitlin was wearing a blue uniform representing the police chief. Her shoulders were narrow and her waist was as thin as a bunch. With a plaid skirt, she still had a feminine look.
It seems that he has not slept all night, his long dark purple hair is draped over his shoulders, and his face is slightly cold and tired, but his eyes are still bright.
“I have met Lord Huo Jixing.”
Caitlin looked at Huo Jixing in front of her. He looked ordinary and did not have the imposing aura of last night.
"I've heard your name, Caitlin."
Huo Jixing stood up, stretched out his right hand, and spoke with a smile.
Caitlin raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly surprised by Huo Jixing's words.
She looked at the palm in front of her, suppressed her doubts, and shook it gently. "What do you want from me?"
Huo Jixing released his right hand, motioned for Caitlin to sit down, and went straight to the road.
After coming back last night, he handed the two metal boxes to Jial, returned to his room, and entered a state of cultivation.
Waiting until the next day, Jarl not only sent the information from the Zodiac basement last night, but also the news from the Piltover Parliament at dawn.
"I would like to ask Lord Huo Jixing how much he knows about the Eye of Zaun, and the fighting ability of the people in the city last night."
Caitlin understood that the opportunity at the moment was rare, and thought He asked with a tone of inquiry regarding the task given to him by the council.
Huo Jixing's heart moved, thinking of the loss of Pi City guards last night.
“I really don’t know much about the Eye of Zaun. Maybe you can ask the Gilaman family, or Camille.”
He told the truth, and asked the resurrected The Eye of Zuan has almost no impact.
I just heard that the Reese Guard Secretariat and the Myrdalda family mentioned that it was the gang force that Zaun once destroyed.
“As for the fighting power of those people in the city last night, I suggest that ordinary Pi City guards should not participate in the battle.”
After Huo Jixing finished speaking, he looked deeply at Caitlin in front of him.
In terms of combat ability evaluation, as a female police officer in Piltover, how could she ask others for advice so abruptly.
Are you worried about me? Huo Jixing thought secretly.
It seems that the shock of the battle last night to the Piltover Council made them fearful.
Huo Jixing glanced at the intelligence information placed on the table.
After a whole night of analysis by the Myrdalda family's think tank.
The reckless robbery in the Zodiac basement last night meant that the forces behind the Eye of Zaun were a little unable to restrain themselves.
In other words, their experiment is about to be completed, but some Hex gems are missing.
The specific time of the experiment cannot be determined, but it is related to the upcoming Evolution Day event.
The gears of Piltover and Zaun's destiny are about to start turning.
Huo Jixing looked at Jial and saw him shrugging his shoulders, thoughtfully.
Such a critical moment.
As a powerful man from the Noxus Empire, Hojistar will definitely attract the attention of the Piltover Council.
The Myrdalda family and the Piltover Council no longer expect too much.
The huge trade brought by the Noxus Empire is an interest that all merchant families in Piltover cannot refuse.
As for Caitlin.
She is the figure that the parliament brought to the forefront, and there will definitely be more preparations secretly.
Huo Jixing chatted with Caitlin for a few more words, and Jal would interrupt the topic from time to time.
But the specific content of the chat was mostly Caitlin asking again, and Huo Jixing answering, involving the Eye of Zuan, and testing his thoughts.
“Thank you for your help. It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb your rest.”
Caitlin looked out the window at the darkening sky. After realizing that she couldn't get any useful information, she asked to leave.
"Jar, help me see Caitlin off."
Huo Jixing stood up, smiled at Caitlin, and turned to look at Jal.
Jar nodded to express his understanding and left the room with Caitlin.
Bright lights illuminate the study room.
Huo Jixing stood in front of the window, watching the departing figures of Jial and Caitlin below.
"The Parliament of Piltover!"
He took out the dim Hex Gem from his arms, felt the magical power inside, and chuckled.
Although the Myrdalda family is extremely powerful, they have connections with the Noxus Empire.
But it only has one member seat and cannot fully control the parliament.
They can only influence other members of Congress through their own strength and interests.
The Piltover Parliament, after accepting Jess, has eight members.
It can be seen that the muddy waters within Piltover cannot be stirred up by ordinary forces.
【Decompose rune items? 】
A cold rising sound sounded in my ears.
Huo Jixing carefully looked at the Hex gem in his hand, and looked at the data panel floating on his pupils, his eyes twinkling.
This is the system message he accidentally heard when he picked up the Hex Gem.
The Hex Gem is a recognized [Rune Item] in the scan of the data panel.
"Is it the magical energy contained in it?"
Huo Jixing looked at the blue light reflected by the Hex gem and nodded slowly.
【break down! 】
Dark green data flow overflowed from his eyes and quickly wrapped around the Hex gem.
Immediately afterwards, the 'indestructible' Hex gem was eroded and melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[Congratulations to the host, the decomposition was successful and you got the essence*30! 】
"It's okay. After consuming most of the Hex gems, 30 points of essence can still be decomposed." Huo Jixing nodded with satisfaction.
Myrdalda Family Laboratories.
This is a laboratory with solid walls built of snow-white rocks and a roof made of refined steel.
It is not far from the bustling Chamber of Commerce area, but there are patrolling Piltover guards everywhere on the streets, which looks much stricter.
Huo Jixing and Jal came to the laboratory door with the Medalda family crest.
“The impact of the collapse of the Zodiac basement is still spreading, and the Council has to send more Piltover guards to patrol the streets to maintain order.”
Jal pointed to a group of Piltover guards walking in front of him, his expression slightly solemn.
Huo Jixing didn't care about the situation Piltover encountered, and was looking at the Myrdalda family's laboratory in front of him.
In front of the laboratory, eight people wearing uniforms representing the Midarda family's colors and armed with Hextech standard spears were guarding the entrance.
Seeing the arrival of Jial and Huo Jixing, they quickly pushed open the heavy iron door and saluted respectfully.
Huo Jixing and Jal walked along the flat road and entered the laboratory.
The bright magic lamps are like stars in the night sky, dotted on the walls of the laboratory, casting a soft and bright light.
Looking around, there are many people wearing strange devices in the laboratory.
They either looked in a hurry, or they were fiddling with the utensils in their hands intently.
Huo Jixing saw that their movements were skillful and agile, and his eyes shone with a desire for knowledge and curiosity about the unknown. This enthusiasm seemed to be able to infect the laboratory.
Huo Jixing stopped in front of a large open room with an ordinary carriage inside.
But then, he noticed the Hex power cabin on the main shaft below, as well as the gold and silver wiring connecting the front and rear axles.
The power cabin was emitting soft light, and Huo Jixing smelled a smell of copper rust.
“This is a self-propelled locomotive.” Jal followed his gaze and spoke softly.
"This is the latest design of the family inventor, and it is still improving."
