Chapter 340: Destiny Poro Returns to the Empire

"It has embarked on its own evolutionary path."

Professor Heimerdinger stroked his companion and whispered softly.

"And its path is called."

"Destiny Poro!"

Huo Jixing frowned immediately after hearing this.

"Destiny Poro?"

"What does this mean?"

Professor Heimerdinger did not play riddles with Huo Jixing, but directly told him the information he knew.

On the Valoran continent, every Poro born will have a different evolutionary path according to its own experience.

For example, Professor Heimerdinger's Poro.

It had been following him for a long time, and was stained with the traces of time, so it embarked on the path of the ancestor Poro.

Its ability, first, is blood affinity, and can sense the existence of other Poros within a certain distance.

Second, it is the foreknowledge of danger.

In the Quiet Water Prison incident, the ancestor Poro had demonstrated his ability, allowing Professor Heimerdinger to evacuate the Pirt River in time.

After listening to Professor Heimerdinger's explanation, Huo Jixing felt moved.

"So, what is the ability of the Destiny Poro?"

"This... I really don't know."

Professor Heimerdinger shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"In the ancient books I have read, only such a name was recorded."

"And I made a guess about the Destiny Poro based on the changes in the characteristics of the Poro."

Professor Heimerdinger looked at the snow-white Poro in Huo Jixing's arms, and saw the pair of eyes with golden light, and continued.

"Generally speaking, it is difficult for Poro to embark on their own evolutionary path. Their combat capabilities are too weak."

"Even if they succeed in embarking on it, they can only wait for the Poro to show its abilities. The difference between benefits and risks is too large."

"This leads to few people specifically training a Poro."

"As for your Poro, it has just embarked on its own destiny path, and its abilities have not yet been fully revealed."

Huo Jixing nodded slowly, rubbing the little guy's head, thinking.

"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 on his waist.

"According to the deal, I owe you a promise. If you want me to fulfill it, you can contact the Rasser Guard Secret House directly 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.

It was impossible for him to stay in Piltover for such a promise.

He had his own things to do.

As for whether he would abide by the agreement with Professor Heimerdinger, Huo Jixing said that he still had some credibility.

As a highly respected inventor, Professor Heimerdinger's knowledge and wisdom were admired by Huo Jixing.

So Huo Jixing would not easily violate the agreement with him, let alone offend such an important Yodel for nothing.

Professor Heimerdinger expressed his understanding after hearing what Huo Jixing said.

The promise he needed was indeed not to be fulfilled right now.

After continuing to talk with Huo Jixing for a while, he asked Hextech to send Huo Jixing off on his behalf.

In front of the glass floor-to-ceiling window.

Professor Heimerdinger watched Huo Jixing's back gradually go away, and a trace of fatigue that was difficult to conceal appeared on his plush face.

He frowned slightly and smelled a hint of uneasiness.

Recently, he has sensed an unusual atmosphere from many incidents on the Valoran continent.

Vladimir's greed, Janna's mysterious appearance, and the turmoil caused by the Bilgewater Soul Night,

many events like a blowout made Professor Heimerdinger realize that something was wrong in the material world.

His intuition told him that these were not accidental, but more like a harbinger of a major event.

Although Ekko told him that nothing happened in the timeline of the parallel universe, everything was normal.

But Professor Heimerdinger still felt deeply uneasy.

What Ekko saw might be just the tip of the iceberg, and the real crisis might be lurking under the deep sea, which could set off a storm at any time.

These abnormal situations, like red warning lights, flashed frequently in Professor Heimerdinger's mind.

They reminded him of the catastrophe that Valoran had experienced, and those dark days seemed to be vivid again.

"Are those...resurrecting?"

Professor Heimerdinger's eyes were dim, and there were many ancient and great beings hidden in the dark in his memory.

Therefore, the deal with Huo Jixing was just his advance layout.

After all, he was a star spirit gifted person. If he could carry a star spirit in the future, it would be a good move.

In the room of the guarding secret place of Reiser.

Huo Jixing leaned against the door and window, holding the snow-white Poro in front of his eyes, and carefully observed the changes of this little guy.

The midday sun fell, covering the little guy's snow-white body with a layer of golden clouds.

Compared with when he left before, the little guy was a lot fatter, and there were indeed some strange changes.

The fluffy snow-white body was almost free of any dust, as white as new snow, and felt extremely smooth.

The two dark grey horns had several golden lines, which spiraled from the base to the tip, adding a bit of mystery and dignity to the Poro.

There was also a bit of golden glow in the cute eyes, which made people want to get close to it.

As if feeling very embarrassed, 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 star spirit?"

He thought of the little guy who liked to stay by his side when he was meditating and practicing.

"It should be. I didn't take care of the little guy much in normal times and let it move freely."

Then Huo Jixing's mind emerged with Professor Heimerdinger's instructions before he left.

Poro only needs two things: love and companionship.

Other things are just nothingness.

"Woo! Squeak!"

Perhaps sensing Huo Jixing's inner changes, the snow-white Poro made a sound.

Huo Jixing retracted his hands, put them on his shoulders, and took out the long sword from his waist.

"Spiritual Wind!"

The exquisite long sword was placed in front of his eyes, and a light blue halo permeated and permeated the air.

Ding!

Huo Jixing stretched out his fingers and gently flicked the blade, making a pleasant and crisp sound.

Then, a slight vibration came from the sword body, as if responding to him.

Then, Huo Jixing's fingers moved along the sword, brushing over the blue runes engraved on the sword, and felt the magic rune power contained in it.

"The power of the wind?"

Buzz! Buzz!

Huo Jixing waved [Spiritual Wind] casually, seemingly slowly, but leaving a series of green wind marks in the air.

But in a moment.

The blade was almost invisible, with only a few strands of green wind marks surrounding Huo Jixing's side.

But under perfect control, the wind marks did not destroy anything in the room.

"Very good!"

Huo Jixing stopped his action and stared at the [Spiritual Wind] in his hand with burning eyes.

Around the long sword, the dim green mist still remained and did not dissipate for a long time.

Snap! Snap!

The snow-white Poro happily puffed his claws, very satisfied with the performance just now.

Huo Jixing raised the corner of his mouth. After a simple test, he had deeply felt that the rune attributes attached to [Spiritual Wind] were indeed extraordinary.

Not only can it increase his attack speed, allowing him to launch attacks faster in battle.

It can also provide additional movement speed, making the body extremely flexible.

However, what surprised Huo Jixing the most was the special ability of [Spirit Wind] in battle.

[Spirit Wind] can summon the protection of wind out of thin air.

Although it has not been verified in battle.

But combined with the memory of the previous life, it should be able to effectively resist various abnormal states.

Huo Jixing stroked the blade, and his excitement was beyond words.

Compared with the attributes of [Statik Electric Blade], [Spirit Wind] is obviously more suitable for him, and it is particularly suitable for the Azure Dragon Constellation.

And with his current level of conquering the master, the mastery of the sword is almost the same.

"It's still missing a scabbard."

Huo Jixing put away his inner emotions, got up and walked out the door, ready to find a suitable scabbard.

Zaun, the ditch area.

On the street, the intricate pipes and colored glass are all painted with colorful oil paint.

The haze and fog in the streets and alleys surged wantonly, like an ominous air coming out from deep underground.

These foul gases made the surrounding environment darker and darker. The people in the lower city who hurriedly passed by were covered in dirt and had a hard time surviving in this area.

In the shadows of the streets, hazy clouds quietly appeared.

Huo Jixing, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a snow-white Poro on his shoulder, walked out of the shadows, and a layer of dark halo isolated the surging haze.

He looked around and noticed that this area at the bottom of Zaun had a little life.

However, he still felt the omnipresent malice in the air.

Huo Jixing walked and saw many Zaun thugs gathered under Urgot.

Many parts of their bodies had been transformed by alchemical technology, and their faces were greedy and cruel, staring at Huo Jixing, a person from the upper city who "accidentally" entered.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Huo Jixing did not stay for too long, and his footsteps were light, like the wind passing over the building, heading to the Shengou Prison.

The edge of the huge mine pit.

Huo Jixing could see the newly rebuilt alchemy technology laboratory from a distance, surrounded by ferocious metal buildings.

[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Pupils]!

The red-gold light filled his eyes, and many clouds rose up, filling Huo Jixing's field of vision.

These clouds were very obvious according to the staggered buildings, thickness, strength and weakness.

"Urgot has developed well, and there are many guys with good skills under his command."

Huo Jixing whispered, soothing the uneasy snow-white Poro on his shoulder, and entered the sinking hook mine.

This time he did not hide his figure, and soon attracted attention.

"Lord Huo Jixing!"

Halfway through, a modified person hurried over and said respectfully.

"Oh, it's you, Donier."

Huo Jixing looked at the thin man with cold eyes in front of him and recognized his identity.

The former hunchback man, after being fully transformed by alchemy technology, has a straight body, and no longer looks hunched and embarrassed before.

"Please follow me. Lord Urgot is conducting alchemical technology experiments."

Dornier walked in front and explained the reason why Urgot could not come.

After walking forty or fifty steps, they entered the alchemical technology laboratory.

The bronze pipes crisscrossed like blood vessels, covering every corner of the laboratory.

At the end of the pipe, a cloud of alchemical mist overflowed, covering the rough metal workbench below.

Huo Jixing looked at the workbench, ignoring the diffused alchemical mist, and a huge alchemical 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 footsteps, Urgot frowned and walked 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 blue 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.

Storm Fury Janna still protects the Twin Cities, but she is not so disgusted with herself. Her previous behavior was just a warning to him.

"How do you feel physically?"

Huo Jixing walked up to Urgot, observed the improved alchemy body, and felt a little emotional.

Urgot's body was already tall, and after being transformed by alchemy technology, it became as tall 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 Zuan during the time I disappeared?"

Urgot nodded slowly: "Alchemist Singed is taking the Raging Beast of Zaun to who knows where, and no one knows his whereabouts for the time being."

Unlike others, Urgot was extremely convinced that Huo Jixing would not be defeated in that battle and would come back sooner or later.

"Doctor Mundo fell into the hands of the Piltover Council and became an experiment to study his rapid healing body."

Urgot paused, thought for a while and then said.

"Dorniel'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 were no clues."

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows, not expecting to hear news about Victor in Urgot.

Thinking about it, it is true that Victor can build an experimental base under Stillwater Prison.

And if you create a terrifying killing machine like [Project Source], you 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 would be easy to return to the Noxus Empire.

Urgot fell silent after hearing Huo Jixing's inquiry.

"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 has lost a large part of his lifelong pursuit.

Now he just wants to spread his reign of terror throughout Zu'an.

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

Hojistar 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 shop 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 ushered in a new owner, a young man who was good at making jewelry.

"Um?"

Huo Jixing's eyes moved, a red golden 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 glanced at the products in the store. Most of them were handicrafts and there were very few handmade products.

Among the merchandise on display, he noticed some trinkets from the Noxian Empire.

Huo Jixing looked deeply at the young man and disappeared.

"Black rose?"
