Chapter 372: Information Brought by Jarl, the Trace of Cassiopeia

Berguin, trade zone.

In this bustling and noisy area, there are many chambers of commerce that came to Berguin to develop the market.

Among them, the most famous is the Midalda Chamber of Commerce from Piltover.

With their unique handicrafts and sophisticated technological products, they quickly opened up sales following the iron hoof of the Noxus Empire.

In just half a year, they have become a shining pearl in the Berguin trade zone.

Rumor has it that their caravans have penetrated into the southern part of the Shurima continent, traded with local tribes, and brought back a large amount of gold and precious gems.

The location of the Midalda Chamber of Commerce.

Even when night falls, the lights are still bright, reflecting a luxurious manor.

Near the manor, the guards of the Midalda Chamber of Commerce are like loyal soldiers, patrolling and on duty.

They are dressed in blue uniforms, and each of them carries a metallic Hex standard spear on their shoulders.

Next to the guards are the slaves who work for the chamber of commerce and sign a permanent contract to sell themselves.

Although they were of low status, they showed extraordinary momentum under the command of the guards.

They were seen wearing chain mail, holding sharp blades and shields, and guarding the guards.

In the shadow of the corner of the street, Huo Jixing, who had returned, hid in the middle and looked at the manor in front of him, with a red-gold glow in his eyes.

This was the information he got unexpectedly from the intelligence of the Raiser Guard Secret Station.

In Beljuen, there is a manor belonging to the Midalda family.

Huo Jixing looked into the manor from afar, and a familiar cloud was swaying in his vision.

"Why did this guy run to Beljuen?"

He laughed softly. If it was someone else from the Midalda family, he might need to use some tricks.

But if he said it, things would become very simple.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, Feng Xu flew in the wind, and Huo Jixing disappeared directly on the spot.

He crossed the corridor full of reliefs, ignored the slaves wearing turbans, and entered the depths of the manor.

Compared to the noise outside, the depths of the manor are very quiet.

Only the occasional chirping of insects and the footsteps of guards patrolling in the distance can be heard.

This is Jarl's order. Don't disturb him if there is nothing important. Even if there is an important banquet, postpone it if possible.

Faced with such a situation, everyone in the Midalda Chamber of Commerce has no way to deal with it.

Who made Jarl the first heir of the Midalda family?

As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, how could they offend the future head of the family.

Deep in the manor, in a gorgeous room.

The glass light falls on an ancient relief, covering this tomb item that has experienced vicissitudes with a hazy veil.

The material of the relief is very ordinary loess, and the mottled traces and blurred patterns left on the surface tell an unknown history.

Jarl wears gold-rimmed glasses and gently strokes his beard, with a simple face that is a little puzzled.

"Things from the Shurima Empire? But the style is a little different."

He looked at the relief, looking for clues from every detail, his eyes full of desire for the unknown and awe of history.

"Or is it something from the lost country of Ecathia?"

"But the craftsmanship of those exiled craftsmen is not so bad. It is rumored that their requirements for size are very abnormal."

"And the style of the relief in front of me is too rough, and the traces of carving are also quite obvious."

Jar stretched out his hand to brush the relief, his expression changed, and finally turned into a touch of embarrassment.

"Is it a fake?"

"Damn it, are the fake skills of those tomb robbers so advanced?"

"No, if you dare to lie to me, I will let the guards of the Chamber of Commerce raid their shops at the trading point tomorrow."

Jar thought angrily, took off the glasses on the tip of his nose, and gently rubbed his eyes that were sore due to long-term use.

He just turned around and prepared to wash up, but saw a strange figure appear, as if he had been in the room for a long time.

"Who is it?"

Jar's expression was solemn, his left hand on his waist. Once in danger, he would immediately activate the customized Hextech energy shield.

After being improved, the Hextech energy shield can resist hero-level attacks.

"It's me!"

Huo Jixing spoke, reaching out to wipe off the traces of disguise and revealing his true face.

"Lord Huo Jixing?"

Jar was surprised and spoke, with a look of disbelief.

He had never expected to meet this legendary strongman who was already famous in the Noxus Empire in Beljuin.

A few months ago, Mel sent back a message, detailing Huo Jixing's status in the upper class of the Noxus Empire.

Time froze at this moment.

Only the sound of Jar's breathing and the swaying sound of the glass lamp echoed in the air.

The familiarity of the past became a little strange after seeing Huo Jixing's terrifying strength and power.

Huo Jixing's eyes moved slightly, pointed at the relief, and asked with a little curiosity.

"What is this?"

He saw Jarl's hidden emotions, found out his preferences, and cut into the topic.

Jarl took a deep breath and suppressed the ripples in his heart.

"This is a relief from an ancient tomb, from near Vikola."

"I saw it by chance and bought it from the tomb robbers."

"But now it seems that I was deceived by those guys."

Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders.

He still remembered that as the heir of the Midalda family, Jarl preferred to find ancient relics rather than manage the family.

"How did you get here?"

Jal touched his head and smiled sheepishly, showing his teeth as white as pearls.

"As long as my father is in charge over there in Piltover, I escaped here because I had nothing to do."

Since the Myrdalda family has completely consolidated its position in the Twin Cities.

Jal could no longer suppress his adventurous thoughts and secretly followed the fleet of the family chamber of commerce to Bergune.

Huo Jixing looked suddenly as he recalled Jia Er's father, Jia Gu, the head of the Midarda family.

A far-sighted and resolute businessman.

His decisions and actions changed the fate of the Myrdalda family

The trip to the capital of Noxus allowed Jagu to see the powerful military power of the Noxus Empire and the unlimited business opportunities brought by becoming attached to the empire.

After his return to Piltover, he stood firm on the Empire's side, convincing the Piltover Council to provide maritime trade services to the Noxian Empire.

The Myrdalda family took this opportunity to follow the iron heel of the Noxus Empire, open up trade routes to the continent of Shurima, and win countless wealth.

Even in Bergun, House Myrdalda owned a vast estate adjacent to areas controlled by the Noxian Empire.

While the two were talking, the snow-white Poro in Huo Jixing's arms stuck out his head, looked at Jial who had taken care of it, and immediately screamed at Huo Jixing.

"Zhizhi! Wuwu!"

It recognized Jal's identity, its golden eyes shone with light, and complained that the recent food was not good.

After a while.

In Jal's room, the table is full of sumptuous dishes, which are mouth-watering.

The snow-white poro lay on the table and began to sip. The fragrant aroma filled the air.

"I want to use the intelligence system of the Lower Myrdalda family to check the information about Lower Bergun in the past two months."

Huo Jixing glared at the snow-white Poro and said to Jial in a solemn voice.

This is the purpose of his trip.

Because he already had doubts about the intelligence information of the Raith Guard Corps in Shurima.

"Of course." Jal replied respectfully.

He walked to the simple sound transmission tube installed in the room and gave instructions.

The waiting time was a bit excruciating.

Huo Jixing and Jia Er sat at the table, enjoying the food on the table and chatting casually.

Jal was full of interest and described the scorching weather and the vast desert scenery of Shurima to Huojixing.

"Affected by the economic impact of the Noxus Empire and many chambers of commerce, the nomadic residents in the Shurima Desert are living a very difficult life." Jarl put down the tableware in his hand and spoke softly.

"In order to survive, they had to sneak into those long-lost tombs and find those burial objects."

"However, the tomb is also full of unknown dangers and terrors, and death is a common occurrence."

"There are also some people who become mercenaries of the Chamber of Commerce and travel through the Shurima desert in order to survive the Gougouying camp."

Jarl's words describe the situation of the indigenous people of Shurima today, and are also the origin of the slaves and mercenaries scattered throughout the city.

Boom! Boom!

A crisp knock on the door sounded.

Jal immediately took off his napkin, stood up and opened the door.

When he came back, he held a thick stack of letter paper in his arms.

"I have already said that this information is for me to see. No one knows about your arrival."

Huo Jixing nodded, took the letters, rubbed the papers with his fingers, and quickly read them.

Although the information provided by the Myrdalda Chamber of Commerce is somewhat less sophisticated than the information provided by the Reese Defense Secretariat.

But he didn't care. He still patiently checked for possible clues and carefully considered the meaning behind each line.

It's just a pity that after corroborating the information with the intelligence information from Leiser Guard Secretariat, no valuable discoveries were made.

Jal sat aside and quietly observed Huo Jixing.

When he noticed Huo Jixing stopping his movements, closing his eyes and meditating, he realized that the intelligence information provided by his family might not be helpful to the other party.

Although the Myrdalda Chamber of Commerce has extensive resources and contacts in the commercial field, it is weak compared to the Reese Defense Secretariat.

"Lord Huo Jixing, if this information does not provide the clues you need, maybe we can try other ways?"

Jal hesitated for a moment and then suggested, trying to break the silence.

Huo Jixing opened his eyes, looked at Jial deeply, and shook his head slowly.

"No need, Jarl, thank you family for the information."

Hearing this, Jia Er's slightly dark face showed a look of helplessness.

This opportunity was so rare that Huo Jixing suddenly came to ask for help.

However, the lack of family intelligence information made him sigh secretly.

Then he seemed to think of something, organized his words, and said softly.

"I once met Lady Catalina at the trading point under the Chamber of Commerce. She and a charming and beautiful woman were looking for something."

Mel once mentioned that he mentioned to his father Jagu that the relationship between Huo Jixing and Catalina was somewhat unusual.

Jal was paying attention to Catalina's movements at that time and planned to find time to send gifts to her door.

But soon after, Caterina left Berguen, causing his plan to fail.

"Katrina? I once traveled with a strange woman."

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows.

He clearly remembered that he had never mentioned Katarina's name to Jarl.

The news of Katarina's disappearance is highly confidential within the Noxus Empire.

With Jarl's identity, it is absolutely impossible to know that Katarina has disappeared.

Therefore, the words he said were completely unconscious.

"Jar, can you briefly describe the woman's appearance?"

Huo Jixing exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice.

Jar was not a stupid person, and he obviously noticed Huo Jixing's emotional changes.

"She was wearing a green long dress, with a beautiful and charming face, and most importantly, her appearance was very similar to Katarina."

Cassiopeia!

Huo Jixing's heart condensed, and the name of Cassiopeia automatically emerged in his mind.

She was with Katarina, and appeared in Beljuin, looking for something.

This did not exist in the intelligence information provided by the Guardian of Reiser.

Huo Jixing tapped the table with his fingers and frowned.

"Can you tell me what the items sold in the trading point are?"

"It is a burial object of an ancient tomb, similar to the relief type." Jar answered.

Huo Jixing's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes flickered gently, connecting all the fragmented information he got.

"Interesting, the ancient tomb is the lost tomb of the mysterious ascender?"

He recalled the northern map of Shurima, and many cities passed by.

Most of these ports and cities were influenced by the Du Kecao family.

Even if General Du Kecao disappeared for a long time, it did not affect the status of the Du Kecao family at all.

In particular, Uzeris was basically regarded as the fiefdom of the Du Kecao family in Shurima.

As the second daughter of General Du Kecao, Cassiopeia has a certain status and influence in the family.

Although her activities are mainly in cities such as Uzeris and Nashram.

Under normal circumstances, she rarely comes to Beljuin.

But this does not mean that Cassiopeia cannot influence Beljuin.

What's more, she also has the identity of the Black Rose.

"Could it be that Katarina and Cassiopeia have found out that the lost tomb of the mysterious ascender is near Beljuin?"

Huo Jixing put away his thoughts and looked at Jarl in front of him with a surprised look.

He didn't expect that the breakthrough point would appear on this guy.

"Thank you, Jarl!"

"Haha, Lord Huo Jixing, you are so polite."

Jarl smiled innocently, and the joy in the corner of his eyes could not be hidden.

It was very good for the current Midalda family to get Huo Jixing's favor unexpectedly.

They needed the care of the high-level officials of the Noxus Empire to avoid the prying of some noble warlords.

Huo Jixing paused and continued: "I have another thing to trouble you."

He could no longer follow the previous route to the northern port city of Shurima.

Even if he went, it can be guessed from Dilishati's collusion with the Black Rose that the information given by the Raiser Guard along the way is almost the same.

He needs to change the route.

The trade caravan belonging to the Midalda family would be a good choice.

This would not only avoid the influence of Cassiopeia, but also temporarily stay away from the sight of the Black Rose.

He would not forget that Cassiopeia has become a member of the Black Rose.

"You said that the forces of the Midalda family will fully cooperate with you." Jarl patted his chest and promised.

The night fell like thick ink on the lower city of Beljuin, and the originally slightly dark environment became even quieter.

Occasionally, there would be a faint candlelight flickering on the street corner, bringing some warmth to the tired people.

Huo Jixing took off with the wind and hung in the air, his red-gold eyes scanning every inch of land below.

He couldn't move Dilishati for the time being, lest the death of this noble warlord cause too much noise.

But the members of the Black Rose were another matter.

These guys hiding in the dark, their whereabouts were too secretive, and they suddenly disappeared, who could know.

And killing the members of the Black Rose can be said to kill two birds with one stone, which can stir up the dark tide of the Shurima continent.

Huo Jixing found the hiding place of the members of the Black Rose based on the dark gray clouds in his field of vision.

He walked in without scruples, and his spiritual power permeated, suppressing everyone.

As Huo Jixing attacked, the members of the Black Rose disappeared one after another.

Their death was so silent, as if they were swallowed by the black.

A moment later.

Huo Jixing walked out with a relaxed look.

He didn't give any chances. With the Pale Lady's methods, it was impossible to ask for useful information.

Death was their final outcome.
