Chapter 340 The Destined Poro returns to the Empire
“It has embarked on its own path of evolution.”
Professor Heimerdinger caressed his partner and whispered softly.
“And its path is called.”
“Poro of Destiny!”
When Huo Jixing heard this, his brows immediately frowned.
"Destined Poro?"
"What does this mean?"
Professor Heimerdinger did not play riddles with Huo Jixing, but directly told what he knew information.
In the continent of Valoran, every Poro born will have a different evolutionary path based on his or her own experience.
For example, Professor Heimerdinger's Poro.
I followed him a long time ago, stained by the traces of time, and therefore walked on the path of the ancestor Poro.
One of its abilities is blood affinity, which allows it to sense the presence of other Poros within a certain distance.
The second is the anticipation of danger.
In the Stillwater Prison incident, the ancestor Poro once demonstrated his ability, allowing Professor Heimerdinger to evacuate the Pilt River in time.
After listening to Professor Heimerdinger's explanation, Huo Jixing felt moved in his heart.
"So, what is the ability of the Destined Poro?"
"This. I really don't know."
Professor Heimerdinger shook his head and expressed himself Don't know either.
“In the ancient books I have read, there is only such a name recorded.”
"And I made a guess about the Destined Poro based on the changes in Poro's characteristics."
Professor Heimerdinger looked at the snow-white Poro in Huo Jixing's arms, and saw the pair of With golden eyes, he continued.
"Generally speaking, it is difficult for Poro to embark on its own evolutionary path, because their combat ability is too weak."
"Even if they succeed, they can only wait for Poro Showing one's own abilities, the gap between benefits and risks is too big."
"This leads to few people cultivating a Poro specifically."
"As for your Poro, he has just embarked on the road to his destiny, and his abilities have not yet fully emerged."
Huo Jixing nodded slowly, rubbing the little guy's head, thoughtfully.
"Destiny? It's not over yet."
Then he stood up and picked up Lingfeng, carefully wrapped the blade with the cloth strip in the golden box, and pinned it to his waist.
"According to the deal, I owe you a promise. If you want me to fulfill it, you can directly contact the Reiser Guard Secret Office and they will find me."
Professor Heimerdinger did not give a clear answer as to when he would fulfill his promise.
This made Huo Jixing feel a little helpless.
There was no way he could stay in Piltover with such a commitment.
He has his own things to do.
As for whether to abide by the agreement with Professor Heimerdinger, Huo Jixing said that he still has this credibility.
As a highly respected inventor, Professor Heimerdinger's knowledge and wisdom are admired by Huo Jixing.
So Huo Jixing would not easily break the agreement with him, let alone offend such an important Yodel for nothing.
Professor Heimerdinger heard Huo Jixing’s words and expressed his understanding.
The commitment he needs is indeed not something he needs to complete right now.
After continuing to talk to Huo Jixing for a while, he asked Hex Technology Assistant to say goodbye to Huo Jixing on his behalf.
In front of the glazed floor-to-ceiling windows.
Professor Heimerdinger watched Huo Jixing's retreating back, a trace of exhaustion that was difficult to conceal appeared on his plush face.
He frowned slightly and smelled a hint of uneasiness.
In recent times, he has sensed unusual auras from many incidents in Valoran.
Vladimir’s greed, Janna’s mysterious appearance, and the turmoil caused by the Haunted Nights in Bilgewater,
Many events like a blowout made Professor Heimerdinger realize that something was wrong in the material realm.
His intuition told him that these were not accidental, but more like a sign of a major event.
Although Ike told him that nothing happened in the timeline of the parallel universe and everything was normal.
But Professor Heimerdinger still felt deeply uneasy.
What Ike saw may only be the tip of the iceberg, and the real crisis may be lurking under the deep sea, and may set off a storm at any time.
These abnormal situations were like red warning lights, flashing frequently in Professor Heimerdinger's mind.
They reminded him of the catastrophes Valoran had experienced, and those dark days seemed to be vivid again.
"Are those...reviving?"
Professor Heimerdinger's eyes were dim, and there were many ancient and great beings hidden in the darkness in his memory.
Therefore, the deal with Huo Jixing was just something he planned in advance.
After all, he is a protoss gifted person. If he can carry the protoss in the future, it will be a good move.
Leiser Guard Secret Hall, in the room.
Huo Jixing leaned against the door and window, holding the snow-white Poro in front of his eyes, and carefully observed the changes in this little guy.
The sun sets at noon, covering the little guy’s snow-white body with a layer of golden glow.
Compared with when he left before, the little guy has gained a lot of weight and indeed has some strange changes.
The fluffy snow-white body is almost free of any dust, as white as new snow, and feels extremely smooth to the touch.
Several golden lines appear on the two small dark gray horns, which spirally extend from the root of the horn to the tip, adding a bit of mystery and nobility to the Poro.
There is also a hint of golden light in her lovely eyes, which makes you want to get close to her.
Seemingly embarrassed by this, the little guy stretched out his limbs, curled up tightly in his arms, and turned himself into a small ball.
Huo Jixing looked at this scene and smiled knowingly.
"Is it affected by the power of the stars?"
He thought that when he was meditating and practicing, this little guy liked to stay by his side very much.
"It should be so. I usually don't take care of the little guy much and let it move freely."
Then Professor Heimerdinger's words before he left appeared in Huo Jixing's mind. Admonished.
Poro only needs two things: love and companionship.
Everything else is just nothingness.
“Woo! Zhizhi!”
Perhaps feeling the change in Huo Jixing’s heart, the snow-white Poro made a sound.
Huo Jixing retracted his hands, put them on his shoulders, and then took out the long sword from his waist.
“Spirit Wind!”
The exquisite long sword was placed in front of his eyes, and a light blue halo filled the air.
Ding!
Huo Jixing stretched out his fingers and flicked the sword blade gently, making a sweet and clear sound.
Then, a slight vibration came from the sword body, as if in response to him.
Then, Huo Jixing's fingers walked along the sword body, brushing against the blue runes engraved on the sword body, feeling the power of the magic runes contained in it.
"The power of the wind?"
Buzz! Buzz!
Huo Jixing waved [Spiritual Wind] at will, seemingly slowly, but it left cyan wind traces in the air.
Only a moment.
The blade of the sword is almost invisible, with only strands of cyan wind marks surrounding Huo Jixing's side.
But under perfect control, the wind marks did not damage anything in the room.
“Very good!”
Huo Jixing stopped moving and stared intensely at the [Spiritual Wind] in his hand.
Around the long sword, the dim blue clouds still remained and did not dissipate for a long time.
Pop! Bang bang!
The snow-white Poro flapped its paws happily, very satisfied with the performance just now.
The corner of Huo Jixing's mouth raised. After a simple test, he had deeply sensed that the rune properties attached to [Lingfeng] were truly extraordinary.
Not only can he increase his shooting speed, allowing him to attack faster in battle.
It also provides additional movement speed, making the body extremely flexible.
However, what surprised Huo Jixing the most was the special ability displayed by [Lingfeng] during battle. [Spiritual Wind] can summon the protection of the wind out of thin air.
Although it has not been verified in combat.
But combined with the memory of past lives, it should be able to effectively resist various abnormal conditions.
Huo Jixing touched the blade of the sword, his excitement palpable.
Compared with the attributes of [Statik Electric Blade], [Spiritual Wind] is obviously more suitable for me, and it is especially suitable for Qinglong Star.
And with his current level of master of conquest, his mastery of swords is almost the same.
"There is still a scabbard missing."
Huo Jixing put away his inner emotions, stood up and walked outside the door, ready to find a suitable scabbard.
Zu'an, Digou District.
On the streets, intricate pipes and stained glass are all painted with colorful oil paint.
The haze and smog that filled the streets and alleys surged wantonly, like an ominous atmosphere rising from deep underground.
These polluted gases make the surrounding environment darker and darker. People in the lower city passing by in a hurry are covered in dirt and struggle to survive in this area.
In the shadows of the street, hazy clouds and mist quietly appeared.
Huo Jixing had a long sword hanging at his waist and a snow-white Poro lying on his shoulder. He stepped out of the shadows, and a dark halo isolated the incoming haze.
He looked around and noticed that this area at the bottom of Zaun was a little bit alive.
However, he still felt the malice everywhere in the air.
Huo Jixing was walking and saw many Zaun thugs gathered under Urgot's command.
Many parts of their bodies have been modified by alchemy technology, and with greedy and cruel expressions on their faces, they are staring at Huo Jixing, a city dweller who has entered by mistake.
To avoid unnecessary trouble.
Huo Jixing didn't stay too long, and walked lightly, like wind, across the building, heading to Shengou Prison.
The edge of a huge mine.
Huo Jixing saw the rebuilt alchemy technology laboratory in the distance, surrounded by ferocious metal buildings.
[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]!
Red golden light filled his eyes, and many clouds rose up, filling Huo Jixing's field of vision.
These clouds are very obvious according to the scattered structure of the building, their thickness and strength.
"Urgot is developing well, and there are many guys with good skills under his command."
Huo Jixing whispered, comforting the uneasy Snow White Poro on his shoulders, and entered the Sinking Hook Mine.
This time he did not hide his figure and quickly attracted attention.
"Lord Huo Jixing!"
Halfway through, a reformer hurried over and said with a respectful expression.
"Oh, it's you, Dornier."
Huo Jixing looked at the thin man with cold eyes in front of him and recognized his identity.
The former hunchbacked man, after a comprehensive transformation with alchemy technology, his body is straight and the awkward look before has disappeared.
"Please follow me, Lord Urgot is conducting experiments on alchemy technology."
Donnier walked in front and told the reason why Urgot could not come.
After walking forty or fifty steps, they entered the alchemy technology laboratory.
Bronze-colored pipes are criss-crossing like blood vessels and spread throughout every corner of the laboratory.
At the end of the pipe, clouds of alchemical mist overflowed, covering the rough metal workbench below.
Huo Jixing looked at the workbench, ignoring the diffuse alchemy cloud, and a huge alchemy body came into view.
The giant legs covered with iron armor have a muzzle like a honeycomb, and the hose flowing with alchemical substances is covered with a layer of soft metal.
Huo Jixing was well-informed and realized that Urgot was replacing parts to strengthen his alchemical body.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Urgot frowned and stepped out of the alchemy cloud with his giant legs, one leg, then another, and then another.
“Lord Huo Jixing!”
As soon as Urgot came out and saw Huo Jixing, he immediately suppressed his anger and spoke respectfully.
Huo Jixing waved his hand casually, and the green wind blew past, rolling up the alchemy cloud and disappearing into the dome.
Entering Zu'an this time can be regarded as confirming his inner suspicion.
Wrath of the Storm·Janna still protects the Twin Cities, but she is not so disgusted with herself. Her previous behavior was just a warning to him.
"How does your body feel?"
Huo Jixing walked up to Urgot and observed the improved alchemy body, feeling a little emotional.
Urgot's body was already tall, and after being transformed by alchemy technology, it became as towering and ferocious as a hill.
The snow-white Poro looked at Urgot, nestled tightly on Huo Jixing's shoulder, and looked at everything around him curiously with his golden eyes.
"It's not bad. With the technical support provided by the Myrdalda family, some exquisite gadgets have been added." Urgot's voice was low, and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.
He is very satisfied with his current body, which is much stronger than before.
Huo Jixing stretched out his left hand and knocked on the armored leg, making a dull sound.
“Has anything happened to Zaun during the time I disappeared?”
Urgot nodded slowly: "The alchemist Singed is going to nowhere with the Raging Beast of Zuan, and no one knows his whereabouts for the time being."
Unlike others, Urgot firmly believes in Huo Ji. Star will not be defeated in that battle and will come back sooner or later.
"Doctor Mundo fell into the hands of the Piltover Council and became an experimental subject to study his rapidly healing body."
Urgot paused and said after thinking for a while.
"Dornier's men said she had seen a guy who looked like Viktor deep in Zaun."
There was a hint of doubt and uncertainty in his words.
"I also sent people to search later, but unfortunately, there are no clues."
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows, not expecting to hear news about Victor in Urgot. .
If you think about it, it is true that Victor can build an experimental base under Stillwater Prison.
And by making a terrifying killing machine like [Project Source], we can definitely leave the whirlpool of war safely.
"Pay more attention to the news. Victor is definitely worth the empire's efforts to win over." Huo Jixing said bluntly.
"What about you, can you go back?"
With Urgot's current strength and past identity, it is easy to return to the Noxus Empire.
Hearing Huo Jixing’s inquiry, Urgot fell silent.
“There is no place for me in the Noxian Empire.”
"I feel like this is a better place for me."
Since the death of Countess Voss, Urgot's lifelong pursuits have lost a large part.
Now he just wants to spread his reign of terror throughout Zuan.
As for the Noxus Empire.
He heard that a young man named Draven took over his position and did a very good job.
Hojixing sighed. Urgot was one of the victims of the dark days of the Noxian Empire.
The Machiavellian's words completely overturned his life
Huo Jixing left Zaun and returned to the lower urban area of Piltover.
He walked slowly along the street and unknowingly came to the old shop that Kalida used to run.
This store still maintains its previous appearance. After simple decoration, it has a more refined feel.
Huo Jixing still remembers the appearance of Kalida, a woman who was played by fate and eventually died in the Stillwater Prison incident.
After her death, the shop welcomed a new owner, a young man who was good at making jewelry.
"Huh?"
Huo Jixing's eyes moved, a red-gold light appeared in his pupils, and a dark purple cloud appeared in his field of vision.
"Extraordinary? And this power seems a bit familiar."
He looked at the products in the store. Most of them were handicrafts and there were very few handmade products.
Among the goods on display, he noticed some trinkets from the Noxian Empire.
Huo Jixing looked deeply at the young man and disappeared.
"Black rose?"
