Chapter 308 The Return of the Ocean Disaster
Dark night.
The outer city of Bilgewater.
Between the staggered cliffs, the sea surface is sparkling.
The strange-shaped islands are connected together, and the buildings sitting on them stretch to the cliffs.
Huo Jixing walked through the narrow alleys, crossed the cold underground river, and walked among the jagged buildings.
Based on Huo Jixing's familiarity with the Leiser Guard Secret House, he was looking for buildings such as taverns and inns, and paid attention to whether there were any hidden marks nearby.
These places always gather people from all over, and there may be some intelligence information hidden in their speech and behavior that is not easy to detect.
Hard work pays off.
Huo Jixing saw the mark left by Leise's guard secret on the wall of a temple ruins.
Looking around, he noticed a nearby tavern that was still brightly lit.
The dim lights swayed in the autumn wind, adding a touch of warmth to the dark night.
In front of the pub.
Several gang members were standing idle, chatting with each other.
They were armed with weapons, and their faces were full of unruly and fierceness.
The cold autumn mood and the moisture of the sea water intertwined, filling the air with an indescribable chill.
The gang members moved their hands and feet from time to time, trying to dispel the coldness on their bodies.
Occasionally, ordinary people wrapped in linen clothes passing by saw these gangs armed with weapons, and their appraising eyes.
They immediately chose to speed up their pace to avoid interacting with the gang members.
Seeing this, Huo Jixing only tightened his thin clothes and walked towards the tavern.
However, before he could reach the front of the tavern, two gang members strode over.
The sharp machete is carried on the shoulder, and the tattooed face has a smiley expression.
"Hey, friend, come here"
They stopped in front of Huo Jixing, wanting to push Huo Jixing a few times and say some provocative words.
But after seeing a pair of red-gold eyes, their powerful bodies trembled unconsciously, and the pervasive smiles instantly solidified on their faces.
Bang!
The two scimitars fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The two gangs looked shocked and started fighting.
Then, as if they had reacted, they immediately turned around and left in a panic.
The arrogance just now has long disappeared.
The nearby gang leaders originally planned to come over to help, but after seeing this scene, they all stopped.
They looked at each other, exchanging frightened looks.
In the midst of the abuse, they did not dare to stay any longer and fled together.
Huo Jixing ignored these episodes and pushed open the door of the tavern.
Suddenly.
The loud noises and the strong smell of wine hit us.
The bright yellow candlelight and firelight lit up, illuminating the tavern like daylight.
The fireplace on the south wall is filled with firewood, and the roaring flames bring a touch of warmth to the tavern.
Seeing someone entering the tavern, many gang members and sea-hunting sailors came over.
It must be a bit difficult to walk out in Bilgewater late at night.
However, when they looked at Huo Jixing in front of them, they only felt that he was an ordinary guy.
The moment Huo Jixing stepped into the tavern, he was keenly aware of the looks from around him.
He looked around the tavern.
These unscrupulous Bilgewater people were drinking and having fun, talking and laughing loudly, or provoking each other.
Hey, this is what Bilgewater tastes like.
Huo Jixing stopped, raised his head slightly, and his eyes fell on a fat drunk man walking over, with a butcher's meat hook hanging from his waist.
He recognized this guy’s identity as Zhan Tu from the slaughterhouse.
Being able to enter the tavern in the outer city to spend money shows that his butchering skills are very good and he can earn enough silver snake coins.
"Huh?"
Huo Jixing looked calmly at the strong arm stretched out in front of him and the cold light shining in Zhan Tu's small eyes.
He didn't panic at all, just stood there quietly.
Until Zhan Tu’s arm was about to touch Huo Jixing.
He suddenly stretched out his left hand, struck first and caught Zhan Tu's wrist accurately.
Click!
Huo Jixing exerted slight force, and the sound of broken bones sounded in the tavern.
It was accompanied by the sound of slaughter and wailing.
His face was twisted in pain, and his eyes were filled with fear.
At this moment, he looked completely different from his previous drunken state.
The surrounding Bilgewater people stopped what they were doing and looked at this as if they were watching a show.
Huo Jixing moved his left hand lightly and threw Zhan Tu's fat body back to where he came from.
boom!
Gravity hit, the dark gray wooden table collapsed, and the drinks on it fell to the ground.
The slaughterers who were sitting around the wooden table immediately stood up and supported their leader.
They looked at Huo Jixing with some trepidation, not expecting that a slightly thin body could have such terrifying power.
“Let’s go!”
Fatty Zhantu resisted the severe pain in his arm, supported his companion in front of him, and prepared to leave the tavern.
“Hey!”
Huo Jixing called to the departing slaughterers and pointed to the broken tables and chairs.
“Your compensation has not been paid yet.”
After throwing down a few silver snake coins, the slaughterers hurriedly left the tavern.
Huo Jixing did not stop them and watched their leaving figures coldly.
What I just did was enough to shock the Bilgewater people in the tavern.
Huo Jixing walked to the bar, looked at the bartender in front of him who had dreadlocks similar to his previous life, and knocked on the table.
“Have a drink.”
“What kind do you want?” The bartender pointed to the wine rack behind him.
"Here we have ale from the Freljord, which is refreshing and sweet; we have spirits from the Noxus Empire, which are spicy and strong; and we have the secret wine of the nobles of the Kingdom of Demacia, which is mellow and sweet."
Huo Jixing's eyes swept across the huge wine rack, and finally stopped on the wine bottle with the logo of the Demacia nobles.
He pointed casually: "Just the bottle of Demacia Bar."
"Okay." The bartender replied.
He turned around and took off the wine bottle, skillfully poured out a glass of golden wine and brought it to Huo Jixing.
Huo Jixing raised his glass and took a sip of the wine in his hand, feeling the burning sensation of the alcohol in his mouth.
Immediately, he looked at the bartender in front of him meaningfully.
"Tsk, tsk, Demacia wine, something seems wrong with the taste here?"
"Sir, don't worry, it is definitely a drink from the Kingdom of Demacia." The bartender patted his chest. Assured.
“This is the supplies we looted from a Demacian merchant ship.”
Huo Jixing noticed the vague movement of some people nearby, raised his brows slightly, avoided the topic, and continued to taste the wine.
Amidst the noise in the tavern, he paid attention to the conversations around him and also noticed a notice board hanging on the north wall.
Huo Jixing looked over and saw that this notice board was made of wood and looked old.
The surface of the notice board is quite rough, but the python carvings on both sides are extremely exquisite.
At the top position, several interlaced tentacles are carved out.
It is silently telling that this notice board is approved by the Nagakapoulos Temple.
In the middle part, small wooden boards are hung, with different names engraved on them, followed by bounty numbers
Looking down, there are yellowed papers one after another. Post it on the bulletin board.
The faces of people offering bounties are drawn on the paper. They are all kinds of strange, and some are more like embodied monsters.
“This is the bounty list.”
Seeing Huo Jixing looking at the bounty notice board, the bartender wiped the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile.
"If you are interested, you can go and take a look. There are many rumored powerful people with bounties on it." "Their crimes are different, but they are all terrifying figures."
< br>
“For example, the notorious Ghost of Blood Harbor appeared recently. His bounty is a thousand silver snake coins.”
Huo Jixing heard this and stood calmly nodded.
His eyes scanned the bounty list, looking for information that might be relevant to him.
What surprised him was that he, who had made a scene at the slaughterhouse, was nowhere to be found on the bounty list
On the contrary, near the bounty list, many sea hunters mentioned blood. Hong Kong ghost.
They chatted about the ghost's deeds in Blood Harbor.
Some people say that in the rocky waters near the seaside, they saw the ghost of Blood Harbor brutally executing people they once knew.
Huo Jixing's eyes moved slightly amid these discussions, and then his eyes fell on a piece of yellowed paper that had just been posted.
On this piece of paper is drawn the strange figure of the Blood Harbor Ghost.
Although it looks a little hazy, it depicts his true face very vividly.
Then he saw a familiar name at the top of the bounty list.
Ocean Disaster·Planck!
The deposed bandit king still reigns supreme.
Although his authority is now gone, it is believed that this has only made him more terrifying.
After all, his fame once spread far and wide, and he was even once the ruler of the port city of Bilgewater.
At the back, there is also the name of a familiar hero.
Bounty Hunter Ms. Fortune!
Huo Jixing silently withdrew his gaze and huddled in the corner of the tavern, tasting the wine in his glass.
Time passes slowly.
The sky outside the tavern is getting brighter, and the pirate city of Bilgewater is waking up.
The hustle and bustle in the tavern turned into silence, and the guests had already left, leaving only scattered tables and chairs and a mess on the floor.
The bartender walked out of the bar, picked up a broom and rag, and started cleaning.
He looked at Huo Jixing in the corner and noticed that this special guest had been sitting there since last night, as if waiting for something.
The bartender thought for a while, walked over and said to Huo Jixing.
"Sir, we are closed."
Huo Jixing raised his eyes and looked up, his eyes filled with red-gold fireworks, as if he could see into people's hearts.
"Huo Jixing, Noxus Empire Reiser Garrison Corps, high-ranking officer!"
The bartender's originally smiling face suddenly changed after hearing Huo Jixing's words.
He frowned subconsciously, his eyes became sharp and alert, and he began to carefully look at the young man in front of him.
As the person in charge of the Reiser Guard Secret in Bilgewater, Yosip has certainly heard of Huo Jixing's name.
He is well aware of Huo Jixing's status and influence in the Noxus Empire's Reese garrison.
At the same time, I also heard about Huo Jixing's deeds in Piltover.
However, suspicion arose in Yosip's heart. In a place like Bilgewater Bay, it was very common to assume someone else's identity for personal gain.
Even the red-gold flames in Huo Jixing's eyes have revealed his identity.
Buzz!
A red-gold flame suddenly appeared in front of Yosip.
It fell silently on the table, instantly burning the wooden table and erasing it from thin air.
"This flame?"
Josip's heart moved.
A transcendent person who can control such a powerful flame, plus recognize the secret mark of the Reese garrison.
He immediately said respectfully to Huo Jixing.
“Josip has met Lord Huo Jixing!”
The quiet backyard of the tavern.
An oil lamp lit up, illuminating the room with dim light.
Josip stood in front of the square table with his hands tied, looking extremely respectful.
The affairs of the tavern have been handed over to the soldiers of the Reiser Guard Corps under his command.
And he chose to stay here and wait for Huo Jixing's mission.
He understood Huo Jixing's identity and did not dare to slack off at all. He only hoped to do his best.
Huo Jixing held the letter in his hand. After browsing the recent events in Valoran, he immediately began to look for news about Piltover and Zaun.
His fingers slid lightly on the letterhead, and lines of text appeared in front of his eyes.
After the battle at Stillwater Prison, the Piltover Council took full control of the city's defenses.
Evolution Day will still be held as normal, with future guardian Jace as the speaker.
But after the evolution day is over.
Many fighting conflicts broke out between the forces of Piltover and Zaun near Stillwater Prison and the Pilt River.
According to the information reported by Yousil.
Many forces are fishing for the high-tech means called the Source Project, as well as the Hex technology that Victor has not yet taken away.
Of these forces, the Piltover Council is the most powerful and has captured a lot of experimental data and incomplete experimental products.
There are rumors that the Piltover Council hopes to usher in a new era of Hextech once again.
The Myrdalda family also joined the carnival and obtained many of the latest Hex technologies.
Huo Jixing raised his brows, thinking that his battle with Vladimir had stimulated many forces in Piltover and Zaun.
At the end of the message, he saw a few lines of small print that had just been recorded.
Jagu, the head of the Myrdalda family, and Jarl, the heir, went to the Noxus Empire to meet Swain.
The intelligence didn't mention anything, but after the incident, the Myrdalda family and the Imperial Navy launched in-depth cooperation.
At the same time, many Hextech inventors belonging to the family were sent to study in the empire.
When Yosip saw Huo Jixing put down the letter in his hand, he pondered for a while and then asked.
"Lord Huo Jixing, His Majesty Swain has already issued orders to the Reese garrison secret offices in various places to search for news about you."
"As soon as there is news about you, we will immediately Just report it.”
Huo Jixing nodded slightly, indicating that Yosip could report directly.
He sighed, everything he owned was destroyed in the battle with Vladimir.
Even the tokens that prove your identity are not immune.
"Just say that I fought with Vladimir's blood clone and was seriously injured and escaped from Piltover."
Hearing this, Yosip's heart trembled, and his eyes couldn't help but fall in front of him. Huojixing.
Scarlet Reaper Vladimir!
Of course he understands Vladimir's influence and terrifying power within the empire.
“You”
Josip opened his mouth subconsciously, as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped.
He thought that Huo Jixing's safe appearance here represented the end of Vladimir's blood clone.
Yosip licked his dry lips, with unconcealable enthusiasm in his eyes.
Noxians believe in the strong and in power.
Not to mention the strong man who killed Vladimir’s blood clone.
Another point is that the Leather Guard Corps and the Black Rose have fought countless times in secret, and the hatred between the two sides is completely engraved in the depths of their souls.
Huo Jixing raised his eyes, his eyes fell on Yosip, thinking about the slaughter dock, he spoke.
"Josip, has anything special happened in Bilgewater recently?"
"Special?"
Josip frowned, recalling what happened in Bilgewater matter.
"This. It seems that it does not exist. Yesterday, a miracle appeared in the Nagakapoulos Temple. Do we want to investigate?"
Huo Jixing shook his head, Nagakapoulos The Silk Temple must not be messed with.
"Wait."
Josip seemed to have thought of something and said solemnly.
"There are rumors that the deposed bandit king, Gangplank, is returning."
"Glanck?"
Huo Jixing tapped his finger. On the table, looking at the letters scattered on the table, he ordered softly.
"Go and get Bilgewater's intelligence information in recent years."
