Chapter 270 Lenata's Ambition Return to Piltover
After getting an accurate answer.
Lenata looked at the casual Huo Jixing in front of her, took a deep breath, and tried to keep herself calm.
In Zaun, Gorask Industries is undoubtedly a powerful oligarchy.
She is also confident in resolving disputes caused by other forces.
But facing a behemoth like the Noxus Empire that dominates the continent of Valoran, she had to act cautiously.
Sure enough, there is still a connection between Urgot and the Noxus Empire. Lenata sighed inwardly.
Otherwise, high-ranking officers from the Noxus Empire would have come looking for them as soon as they launched an attack on Shengou Prison.
The most important thing is that the person in front of her is very powerful, making her feel mortal danger.
"Is the Noxus Empire going to intervene in the dispute between Zaun and Piltover?" Lenata asked in a solemn voice.
She must confirm this because it is related to the future development and strategic direction of Gorask Industry.
“Don’t be nervous.”
Huo Jixing noticed Lenata’s solemn expression and said with a smile.
Before he left the Noxian Empire, Swain and the Trifali Council had no intention of getting involved in Piltover and Zaun.
After all, the twin cities’ convenient transportation and prosperous trade brought massive wealth to the Noxus Empire and solved the transportation problem.
"The purpose of my coming here is very simple. First, let Gorask Industry suspend its offensive against Shengou Prison."
Huo Jixing paused for a moment and looked at the suspended decanter in front of Lenata.
This is a perfect work of art that is both a weapon and a tool, giving him the slightest tingling sensation.
“Second, cooperate with you.”
“Cooperate?”
Lenata looked confused.
After she saw Huo Jixing appear, she already understood that the many matters concerning Shen Gou Prison could be stopped.
Even if she insists on continuing the attack, others in the Alchemy Baron Alliance will not follow her lead.
The so-called Alchemy Baron Alliance is based on interest relationships.
Every Alchemy Baron only works together for the benefit of Zaun. They have their own purposes and considerations.
In the face of the terrifying power of the Noxus Empire, the Alchemy Barons were like tamed beasts, and they would very consciously lie down.
For example, the scene where I faced Urgot.
Because it is impossible to confirm whether the Noxus Empire will still pay attention to Urgot in the turbulent Noxus Empire.
They could only imprison Urgot, who had caused a riot and harmed the interests of many alchemist barons, into Shengou Prison and tortured him, but they did not dare to deprive him of his life.
Lenata knew this relationship very well, so she looked at Huo Jixing, waiting for the answer from the other party.
"Eye of Zu'an."
Huo Jixing spoke softly and spit out a name.
“We can investigate the Eye of Zaun and the forces behind it together.”
After hearing this, Lenata frowned slightly, feeling full of surprise.
Did the Eye of Zaun attract the attention of the Noxus Empire?
Then she thought about the battle that took place in the lift shaft and became thoughtful.
"Yes, on behalf of Gorask Industries, I agree to cooperate with you."
Lenata stretched out her right hand, and no trace of metal could be seen on her slender fingers.
Seeing this, Huo Jixing chuckled and held it, feeling a touch of coldness coming over him.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Jixing and Lenata exchanged intelligence information about the Eye of Zaun and the forces behind it.
The dialogue between the two is like a tacit dance, able to accurately convey each other's thoughts without too much preparation and explanation.
"Hex technology surpasses Zaun's existing alchemy technology!"
Lenata looked at Huo Jixing who was leaving in the air, and her heart was filled with excitement.
From Huo Jixing's mouth, she got a lot of useful information about the Eye of Zuan and the forces behind it.
“I hope everything is true!”
Lenata turned her head and looked carefully at the suspended decanter before standing up.
Gold and brass are cast together to form elegant lines, and the magenta glow ripples.
This weapon has been a weapon she has devoted her whole life to. If the existing alchemy technology can be broken, then its power can be increased.
Lenata knew very well that Huo Jixing had hidden a lot of secret information.
She is not like this. Gorask Industry has investigated the intelligence and some key information has been hidden.
Because she knew that the intervention of the Noxus Empire would bring greater changes to the situation.
But she did not show too much panic, but calmly analyzed the possible impact.
Da da! Ta-ta!
Leena walked to the white jade window sill and overlooked the alchemy workshop below.
There are alchemy sentries patrolling back and forth on the towering towers. Their eyes are as sharp as eagles, always alert to any possible threats.
On the streets, heavily armored alchemist infantry patrolled in formation. Their armor broke through the haze of Zaun, and each step was steady and powerful.
In such a tense and depressing atmosphere, the alchemy workshop of Gorask Industry is still operating normally.
Thick smoke billows from the huge chimney, and the alchemy machinery makes a low roar, which seems to tell the firmness and unyieldingness of Gorask industry.
“I want more than just Zaun!”
The edge of the lower urban area.
The dark sewers near the port of Piltover.
Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
The sound of heavy footsteps hit the wet ground and echoed in the narrow passage.
As the footsteps approached, the dusk light poured into the sewer from the mottled cracks, illuminating this dark space.
Under the crimson light, the figures of Huo Jixing and his party gradually appeared.
They filed out of the sewer.
Huo Jixing walked at the forefront.
Singed followed closely behind, his sunken eyes flickering as if he was not used to the light in Piltover.
Urgot arched his alchemy body as much as possible, but even so, it left traces of destruction in the sewer.
Donnier and some trusted fanatic followers pushed the metal prison cart in which Warwick was imprisoned and walked carefully.
Each had a different expression on their face, but without exception, they looked very wary of Piltover.
When everyone came out, the air in the sewer was no longer dull and became a little fresh.
Huo Jixing stood at the edge of the sewer, looking at the busy and noisy port in front of him, and saw many huge ships docked in the port area.
The cooperation between him and Lenata went very smoothly, and they led Singed, Urgot and others out of Shengui Prison.
This carefully planned transaction was originally intended to bring Lenata into the game.
The Eye of Zuan, the Source Project warriors, and the forces that have been hidden behind the scenes so far.
It indicates that the water between Piltover and Zaun is too muddy and the bottom of the sea cannot be seen at all.
Only by making the sea water more chaotic can we have a chance to see the clear sea bottom.
"Don't move here, wait for me for a while."
Huo Jixing turned to look at everyone and ordered.
Then he entered the port of Piltover and stepped into the area controlled by the Myrdalda family.
The prosperity here is in sharp contrast to the Shengou Prison they just left. They are two completely different worlds.
Walking along the broad street, there is an endless stream of hard workers and pedestrians coming and going.
Huo Jixing showed his badge, entered the core building, and used the Myrdalda family's sound transmission tube system.
These sound-transmitting tubes run through this bustling city like human veins and are Piltover's unique method of communication.
Under the arrangement of the person in charge, Huo Jixing quickly walked to a sound transmission tube and whispered his secret message. Soon, he contacted Jarl through the sound transmission tube.
"Jia'er, it's me, Huo Jixing."
"Lord Huo Jixing."
Hearing Jia'er's respect from the other side Huo Jixing continued to speak.
"I need your help with something, come here as soon as possible."
After some tea time.
A bright light appeared on the crimson-colored sky, like a shooting star, streaking across the sky.
Jar rode his luxurious ring bike, ignoring the surrounding Piltover guards, and arrived at the agreed place.
After seeing Huo Jixing, he stopped the car steadily, and then jumped off the exquisite round wheel suspended in the air.
"Lord Huo Jixing."
A smile appeared on Jial's honest face, and he saluted respectfully.
Huo Jixing glanced at the beautifully designed bicycle, and without too much greetings or politeness, he simply told what happened in Zu An.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements immediately."
Jal looked solemn and immediately turned around to find the port manager of the Myrdalda family to make arrangements.
Boom!
The huge steel cable car runs on the railway, passing through the crowded crowds, and arrives at the port warehouse.
Urgot was too big, and together with the imprisoned Warwick, the two of them almost occupied the space of a cable car.
Under Huo Jixing's instructions, Jial personally arranged the transportation of the steel cable car to ensure that everything went smoothly.
The cable car stops in front of the port warehouse.
Urgot, Dornier and others entered a warehouse that had already been emptied.
This is a temporary place to stay.
And all these actions are carried out secretly, minimizing the attention of others as much as possible.
Until everything is arranged.
Huo Jixing, Singed and Jarl quickly put on their cloaks and quickly left the port of Piltover.
In the dusk night, their figures were vaguely visible under the dim street lights, walking quickly through the shadows of the city.
Perhaps it was a waste of time, Singed held a special metal box with a somewhat anxious look on his face.
His pace was more hurried than usual, as if the items in the box were important to him.
Jar looked at Singed walking quickly in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart.
He didn't understand why Singed was so nervous, nor did he know what secrets were hidden in the metal box.
But he understands his identity and just needs to play the role of executor.
Jar was quite shocked to see Urgot and Warwick before.
The legendary reputation of the two is not only spread in Zaun, but also many terrible rumors are spread in Piltover.
Dreadnought Urgot, his reign of terror and mighty power are awe-inspiring.
Warwick, the Raging Beast of Zaun, is known for his wildness and madness, and secretly hunts down guilty people.
And the alchemist Singed.
His profound knowledge of alchemy has long attracted the attention of many merchant families in Piltover, who all wanted to take him under their wing, but they have been unable to succeed.
Piltover, Goldsmiths Quarter.
The three Huo Jixings, wearing cloaks, walked quickly and arrived at the Hex Technology Laboratory of the Myrdalda family.
Originally there were patrols and alerts from Piltover guards around, but after seeing that their destination was the Myrdalda family laboratory, they left voluntarily.
Looking at the laboratory in front of me with solid walls built of snow-white rocks and a roof made of refined steel.
Singid hugged the metal box tightly, his eyes filled with excitement.
Jar consciously stepped forward and knocked on the door of the laboratory, then turned sideways and motioned for Huo Jixing and Singid to go in together.
"Lord Huo Jixing."
Parks, the head of the laboratory, saw Huo Jixing taking off his hood and spoke respectfully.
When he saw the tall, thin, bald man, he looked a little confused at first, and then uttered a cry of surprise.
"Professor Singed?"
Hearing the sound, Singed looked at Parks in dark red and gold uniforms in front of him, and frowned slightly.
"I was a student at the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress and took your course."
Parks walked over quickly, looking extremely respectful.
Singed was still a little confused, but he didn't say much.
"I need a laboratory."
"Okay, follow me." Parks immediately turned around and walked ahead to lead the way.
I saw two people going to the laboratory.
Jiar approached Huo Jixing and said softly: "My father wants to meet you."
"No problem."
Huo Jixing nodded. He also had something to talk to Jia Gu about.
But currently we have to resolve the issues at the Hextech Laboratory.
"Go ahead, and from now on, the Hex Technology Laboratory will enter a state of martial law."
"No one is allowed to leave during the experiment, and food will be provided by a dedicated person."
After hearing Huo Jixing's order, Jial's honest face showed a surprised expression.
He quickly thought of the metal box held tightly in Singed's hands, and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.
It seems that what is hidden in the metal box is not trivial.
Jal knew that time was tight and did not dare to delay at all.
He immediately ordered the transmission through the sound transmission tube, asking his men to take action immediately.
At the same time, he also mobilized the guards of Myrdalda Castle.
Under Jarl's command, the Hextech laboratory beneath his feet entered a state of martial law.
It is guarded both inside and outside by the power of the Myrdalda family.
Myrdalda Castle, drawing room.
Huo Jixing was dressed in casual clothes. As soon as he entered the hall, he smelled the smell of food in the air.
This familiar and tempting smell made him feel relaxed immediately.
At the head seat of the dining table, he saw Jiagu wearing a golden and red robe.
Unexpectedly, he also saw Camille with a solemn expression.
The decision-maker of the Philos family was looking at him deeply.
Huo Jixing sat down skillfully and began to taste the delicious food on the table.
After finishing eating, Huo Jixing picked up a soft towel and wiped his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Jixing narrated what happened in Zuan.
Including the situation of fighting against the Source Project fighters.
Taking the relationship between Piltover and Zaun.
The horrific battle that took place in the Dance Corridor must have attracted the attention of many chamber of commerce families.
Even when he and Lenata were talking about cooperation, he had already started investigating and got a lot of information.
“Project Source warrior?”
After listening to Huo Jixing’s narration, Camille’s eyes narrowed and she instantly understood the key point.
