Chapter 873 Noxus
Chapter 873 Noxus
March, 990 AD.
Noxus, a port town.
"Baobao, I'm back!" Wei walked into the house with a smile on his face and shouted.
Jinx, who was fiddling with her little invention in the cubicle, put down the screwdriver in her hand and hurried out, spreading her hands in a half-hug gesture.
"Oh, welcome home, Vi."
This is a habit they have developed in the past two months.
In a blink of an eye, it has been four months since they left Piltover and entered Noxus. The two sisters seemed to have forgotten the disputes between Piltover and Zaun, and started a new life in this small Noxian town where no one knew their names.
Their living conditions are more like those of a couple rather than a pair of sisters.
Wei is the husband who works hard outside every day to earn money to support the family, support Jinx's research interests, and create new weapons.
Jinx is the wife, who will learn to do some housework and even gradually learn to cook.
This kind of warm and peaceful life is what they have always dreamed of. If it weren't for the mission of revitalizing Zaun in their hearts, and if it weren't for the people they need to meet and take care of, they would have wanted to live like this in Noxus forever.
Yes, they love Noxus.
At least I like it now.
Wei took out a purse from her bosom and shook it in the air. The collision of the gold coins made the most beautiful music. She smiled and said, "We made a lot of money tonight. We will be able to go to a bigger city soon!"
Jinx looked Vi up and down, and found a shallow bruise at the corner of her left eye. She frowned and said, "Are you hurt, Vi?"
"It's just a scratch." Wei said without caring.
She now works two jobs. During the day, she does hard labor and carries heavy bags at the dock. Her income is only enough to maintain her daily life and rent a house. At night, her job is not so legal but profitable - fighting underground boxing.
Almost everyone in Noxus is a martial artist. Every city has an arena where warriors compete, as well as black boxing rings held in secret.
Countless warriors honed their skills there, and many also sacrificed their lives and blood to fight for wealth.
It was difficult to become a formal gladiator, and there was no formal arena in this port town, so Wei found the Black Boxing Ring.
In the past three months, with her strength, she has been invincible in the town, and the whole town knows that there is a rookie player like her.
But it's not like she hasn't encountered trouble before. For example, tonight's opponent made her use all her strength, and her injuries were far more serious than the surface. She still has a dull pain in her abdomen. She just didn't perform well in order not to worry Jinx.
Of course, high risk means high reward.
The bulging wallet told her it was worth it.
After applying some medicine, the two sisters went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. While picking vegetables, Wei said to Jinx, "I asked around, and among the cities closest to us, the port city of Besilico is a good choice.
That was the city where Darius, the current general of the Trifarious Council of Three, was born. Because of this, they did not stand on the wrong side and were basically not affected by the national turmoil. Complete facilities, Noxus's famous arena and trial field... Well, there are many benefits. "
It's not that Vi loves fighting and killing, and she always pays attention to the arena wherever she goes. She just wants to improve her abilities. The scene of her, Jinx, and Ekko being knocked down by Seville almost instantly that night lingers in her mind. If Seville can do it, she can do it too!
Jinx shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "No problem. I think there's a forge that's always on in any city in this country. There won't be a shortage of what I need anywhere."
The two sisters smiled at each other, Jinx winked her left eye mischievously, and Vi was filled with relief.
Great, Baobao is back.
"Woof! Woo~Woof!"
Just then, a fierce dog barking suddenly sounded outside the door, causing the two sisters to turn their heads in surprise.
Wei frowned and stood up to wipe her hands: "You watch the fire, Baobao, I'll go take a look."
Jinx tilted her head slightly and hummed.
When Wei walked out of the house, the scene she saw made her frown even deeper, but she regained her composure in just a moment and greeted, "Are you... Viscount Feucht? Who are you?"
The young man who appeared in front of her was less than 1.7 meters tall, with greasy hair and acne on his left cheek. He looked like a bad boy, but he was an influential figure in this port town because his family had made military achievements for Noxus and had been awarded the title.
Behind him were two guards, each holding a dog... No, it was not a simple dog. As far as Wei knew, it was called a 'dragon dog', a powerful creature from the north of Noxus.
It has dragon-like scales, powerful limbs and sharp claws, and an eagle-like beak. Although its bark is similar to that of a dog, its combat power is ten times that of an ordinary hound. It is used in most of Noxus' military operations.
The Asian dragon dog, which is only found in the north, is seen in the southwest of the empire. It is obviously a symbol of status and wealth.
Wei felt a little uneasy, especially when she found that Viscount Feucht was looking her up and down unscrupulously as if he was appraising goods, the uneasiness became even more intense.
"Wei Ole?" Viscount Feucht said in a high-pitched voice, "You have been quite popular in the black boxing ring recently. You are quite capable."
Wei's heart sank.
Did he win his money? Or did he just want to find evidence of my involvement in the underworld boxing? What did he want?
"Don't worry." At this time, Viscount Feucht smiled and said, "I admire you very much. Become a gladiator of the Feucht family. You will have a bigger stage, more trials, and maybe even... a chance to enter the center of the empire and be appreciated by big shots?"
He made a promise and did not give Wei a chance to refuse. He directly signaled the guard to hand over a contract: "Sign it."
Wei took it, read it briefly, and his heart sank a little more. This was not a contract of sale but it was better than a contract of sale. If he signed it, he would become a tool for Feucht to make money!
She considered her words and raised her head and said, "I'm sorry, Viscount Feucht, thank you for your appreciation, but I don't have such big ambitions. I just hope to earn enough money to support my sister and me. I fight just to make money."
"Oh?" Feucht raised his eyebrows, and a hint of displeasure was visibly evident on his face.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly turned again, looking behind Wei, revealing a bit of greed, and said: "Is this your sister? Ha, she doesn't look like her at all."
Wei was startled and turned around to see Jinx leaning against the door frame, her long white right leg half-raised, her arms folded, her head tilted, like a bad girl, but her figure was hot and eye-catching.
After entering Noxus, Wei has repeatedly reminded Jinx to pay attention to her clothes, because she has long discovered that the little girl in her memory has now become a beautiful girl who can attract men's attention.
Unfortunately, Jinx only listened half of the advice, and she often still wore such cool clothes when she was not going out.
Wei thought something was wrong: "Baobao, didn't I tell you to watch the fire? Go home quickly!"
Instead, Jinx walked over, snatched the contract from Wei's hand, and began to read it.
Viscount Feucht smiled and said, "People without ambition will not come to Noxus. It seems that you are not satisfied with the conditions I offer.
It's okay, we can talk about it, and I can help you get rid of your worries... Just let your sister work as a maid in my manor and take care of my son's daily life. Well, it's settled."
Wei remained silent and clenched his fists slightly.
Things took a turn for the worst.
I was careless. I should have thought that nobles from all over the world are equally annoying. I should have been prepared for such a scenario earlier!
Now how to do?
blah-
The sound of paper being torn suddenly came from the side, and Wei was shocked: "Bang bang...?!"
But Jinx ignored it and tore the contract into pieces bit by bit. She blew on them with her palms, and whoosh - the flying scraps covered her eyes and face.
Viscount Feucht on the other side was also surprised. He looked at Jinx in astonishment and suddenly laughed: "Quite a character... huh?"
A butterfly came from nowhere and landed on his nose, causing him to pause for a moment and reach out to slap it impatiently.
Wei said in horror: "Don't! Explode!"
Boom——
The violent explosion drowned out her voice!
Viscount Feucht didn't have time to say anything before he was thrown out by the explosion of the butterfly, his face covered in blood.
At the same time, his two guards and the dragon dog received the same treatment.
After the smoke and dust settled, except for the scaled dragon dog lying in the distance and uttering two mournful cries and whimpers, the three people were dead beyond deadness!
Jinx tilted her head, made a pistol gesture and aimed at the Asian dragon dog. With a snap from her mouth, the Asian dragon dog took its last breath at the right time.
Wei stared at it blankly, knowing that it was broken.
"Baobao, how could you..."
“Is there a better choice?” Jinx smiled. “Do you really want me to be a babysitter for his son? Wei! You have to be decisive when it’s time to take action. What are you afraid of?!”
Wei paused. She was definitely not the Wei now who would punch anyone she disliked... What am I afraid of?
Vander's face flashed before his eyes, and unexpectedly, Hilco's face as well.
What am I afraid of?
"Wei, I've changed, and you've changed too." Jinx said, "I'm very satisfied with who I am now, but actually... I don't really like you like this.
He is just a good-for-nothing who has benefited from his father's legacy. Just kill him. Even though I haven't been out much these days, I know that Noxus is a place where fists have the final say!"
She looked at Wei and grinned. "Let's join the Noxian army, Wei! I think there will be something we want there!"
Join... the army? Vi looked at Jinx, her eyes gradually becoming determined.
……
May 1, morning.
The capital of Noxus, the Immortal Bastion.
Ji Xing walked on the way to the Noxus Academy of Magic, admiring the scenery of the royal capital.
There are many differences between Noxus and the Twin Cities and Bilgewater. The architecture of Noxus can be described in two words: clean and solid.
It is difficult to see any circular decorations here. Most of the edges and corners are as clear as if they were carved by knives and axes. More importantly, the battlements are densely covered. Even if some of them can be called roadblocks, they can immediately become defensive fortifications once a war breaks out.
The pedestrians on the street were all walking in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry. In fact, this was just a common living habit of the Noxian people.
"New map unlocked."
Ji Xing looked at the fortress in the distance that looked like two parallel mountains and murmured casually.
Time flies, and two months have passed since the Harrowing Night in Bilgewater. In the first month, Ji Xing stayed in Bilgewater and saw off Lucian and his wife, and Olaf one by one.
Everyone is busy with their own things.
Afterwards, he gave Sarah a simple magic enlightenment. Fortunately, Sarah had a good talent for magic. After simple practice, she could at least reach the level of being proficient in using magic props. If the dual guns could be "enchanted", the combat effectiveness would increase by leaps and bounds.
By the way, he also did some real work and established a stable universal capsule sales point in Bilgewater. When he left, the 100,000 universal tool boxes that were shipped in advance had been sold out. Sarah exclaimed repeatedly that she didn't know there were so many rich people hiding in Bilgewater.
With Sarah, who has been basically recognized as the Queen of Bilgewater after the Harrowing, Bilgewater's wealth will flow into the family of Ferros and into Jixing's pocket like a spring.
Of course, Ji Xing valued Starlight more, and the increase in growth rate did not disappoint him.
After that, he returned to Piltover and stayed for a week. He provided several advanced products of the Universal Capsule, reviewed some issues of the Zaun Universal Factory, had a small gathering with Jayce, Viktor, and Caitlyn, and then left Piltover and came to Noxus.
There was no need for him to expand trade routes this time, as Noxus had already become a hot-selling destination for universal capsules, and the merchants here were a hundred times more active than the pirates.
Ji Xing only came to learn magic at the invitation of Leblanc. If there was any other task, it was only Caitlyn's "If you happen to meet Vi and Jinx, see how they are doing."
Well, Ji Xing used a card to tell fortunes when he landed at the Noxus port, and the result was that a short crisis would be exchanged for a good opportunity, and he might meet him in an unexpected way... Ji Xing didn't care about it anymore.
The bustling streets were gradually left behind, and Ji Xing came to a relatively remote area. A magnificent building complex appeared in front of him.
The gate is plain as usual, and there is no sign, and it seems that you can't tell that this is the famous 'Noxus School of Magic'!
In this world where mages generally possess powerful combat capabilities, one can imagine how high the status of mages would be in Noxus, where force is respected.
After releasing the registration book from the universal capsule, Ji Xing walked into the magic academy, and soon a young man walked up to him quickly.
The other party obviously noticed the enrollment book in Ji Xing's hand and said respectfully, "Hello, are you the mage who just joined the academy? I am the mage apprentice Bethes, please give me the enrollment book."
Although mage apprentices have the word "mage" in their title, their status is not the same as that of mages. They only have a little magical talent and can help real mages with odd jobs and get some treasures.
Ji Xing smiled at him and handed him the entry book. Bethess's hand slowly moved across the entry book, injecting a specific magic power, and soon part of the blank space on the page was filled.
After reading it briefly, Bethesz looked awed and said, "So you are Master Roger, who was recommended by the Kisira family. You are from Bilgewater? Welcome to join the School of Magic."
From this simple sentence, Ji Xing extracted two pieces of information given to him by Leblanc.
The Kisira family is Leblanc's people.
You can wear Roger's vest first.
He nodded and said, "It's me. Next, would you please show me the buildings of the academy?"
