The Glory of Noxus.

The golden morning light fell all over the silver tableware, reflecting Huo Jixing's calm face.

Directly opposite him, Jagu's eyes were filled with deep contemplation, and he spoke softly, telling the story of the recent difficulties that the Myrdalda family had encountered.

Two months ago, the Myrdalda family's ocean-going caravan encountered an unexpected robbery in the Sea of ​​Watchers and lost a batch of Hex stabilizing devices.

The Myrdalda family immediately contacted the Parliament of Piltover and mobilized their own forces to start a cleansing operation in the Sea of ​​Watchers, killing and destroying many pirates.

I thought things would end like this.

But a month ago, the Myrdalda family's warehouse in the southern area of ​​Piltover was stolen, and two boxes of Hex gems and crystals were lost.

Then, ten days later.

The rare steel materials transported by the Myrdalda family to the Noxus Empire encountered pirates again in the Sea of ​​Watchers, and the caravan owner and crew lost all news.

This matter quickly attracted the attention of the Myrdalda family, and internal personnel were dispatched to investigate, but little was gained.

There were even many overseas secret agents who died unexpectedly during the investigation and their bodies were not found.

Originally, the Myrdalda family wanted to use their connections with the Piltover Council to conduct a city-wide search.

However, considering the importance and privacy of many goods, Jagu had to reject the plan.

Finally, the Myrdalda family contacted the Noxus Empire through their own channels and asked for help.

Considering that the Myrdalda family had a relationship with the Noxus Empire, Jagu believed that Lord Swain, the current leader of Noxus, would do his best to help.

The same is true.

Swain sent over the Noxians whose strength was unclear.

"Is there any important intelligence information?"

Huo Jixing still kept his expression relaxed and enjoyed the delicious breakfast on the table.

He didn't believe that with the strength of the Myrdalda family, there would be no useful information after such a long investigation.

When Jia Gu heard this, he looked at Huo Jixing and saw that his expression remained unchanged, and a wave of fluctuation appeared in his deep and calm eyes.

"This is what we got after losing several spies." Jagu took out a rolled piece of parchment and placed it on the dining table.

The yellowed parchment is tied with red rope and decorated with golden lines around it.

Huo Jixing looked at the parchment far away, and his heart moved slightly. He glanced at Jia Gu, who looked slightly tired, and shook his head slightly.

hum!

As if a breeze was blowing, invisible spiritual power extended, rolled up the parchment, and moved it in front of Huo Jixing.

This scene may seem ordinary, but it silently tells Jia Gu the extraordinary power that Huo Jixing possesses.

Although there are many merchant families and genius inventors in this prosperous city, only those with parliamentary seats are the masters of the city.

And they all possess terrifying power.

Huo Jixing wiped his fingers with a clean white napkin, then casually untied the red rope and slowly unfolded the page.

Purple eyes!

When the parchment was fully unfolded, a strange pattern appeared before his eyes.

In the very center of the parchment, an open dark purple eye was carved into the front seal.

At first, Huo Jixing thought it was boring graffiti, but as he stared, he discovered the difference in the dark purple eyes.

Those purple lines outlining the eyes seem to have a special meaning. They jump on the paper as if they are mocking something.

"Eye of Zu'an!" Jia Gu said in a solemn voice.

"The implication is that it mocks Piltover's blind or closed eyes."

Huo Jixing looked at Jia Gu and found that the old man was also looking at the parchment in his hand.

He could confirm in his heart that this deep purple eye must be related to the affairs of the Myrdalda family.

At the same time, this was the second time he heard about the Eye of Zaun.

"The Eye of Zaun created by Silko?"

Hearing Huo Jixing's voice, Jia Gu's eyes flashed and he nodded slowly.

"It's just that the Eye of Zaun was completely disbanded when Silko died."

"Even the remaining power is being eaten away by the many alchemy barons in Zaun, and it is slowly heading towards destruction."

Huo Jixing put down the parchment in his hand and took a sip of the strong wine in the flask.

"Are you afraid?"

"Afraid of the Eye of Zuan resurrecting?"

He detected a hint of hidden emotion in Jia Gu's tone just now.

Although Huo Jixing didn't know much about the situation in Piltover and Zaun, he had heard of Silko's name.

Yousil just gave him very detailed intelligence information.

Hilko!

A godfather of the dark forces in the Undercity who was once as famous as Fander, completely ruled Zaun after Fander's death.

When he was young, he and Fander were considered brothers, but they later parted ways.

But while fighting Fander in the water, Hilko's eyes were infiltrated by the venom in the river, causing injuries to his eyes.

It also affected the nerves, skin, flesh and bones of half of Hilko's face.

After surviving, Hilko realized the truth between life and death and became a ruthless person.

He began to follow his beliefs and used the Glimmer Potion to exert dual physical and spiritual domination over the Zaun people.

It is precisely because of Silko's appearance that Zaun has not completely become a vassal of Piltover or a garbage collection place.

Although selling Shimmer sacrificed the interests of the lower class people of Zaun, it also gained the power to compete with Piltover.

Hilko is highly regarded within the Reese garrison.

I think Hilko chose a very, very extreme route, but it also made Zaun, who was terrible, not so terrible.

To this day, although the existence of Zu'an is shrouded in the twilight covered by smog, the bustling and bustling place is not compromised at all. The residents here are all-encompassing and the culture is diverse.

Piltover's wealth also fueled Zaun's growth, making it a dark mirror to the city above.

"How could I be afraid?" Jia Gu remained calm and fiddled with the silver knife and fork in front of him.

"Hilko is just a dead person."

"And what if the Eye of Zuan, a resurgent force, appears again?"

"What I'm worried about is the forces behind it that are asking for the Hex Stones."

As Jia Gu spoke, his tone became more solemn.

"They already have the shimmering potion. If they also have the core technology of Hex Technology, no one will be able to accept such a result."

He paused for a moment, stared at Huo Jixing, and continued to speak.

"The Noxus Empire will not allow the rise of Zaun, which will affect the empire's interests in the east-west sea lanes."

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly and waved the parchment with the Eye of Zuan in his hand.

"I will solve the problem for the Myrdalda family, but I need your help and the Myrdalda family's help."
