Teyvat's Otherworldly Adventurer

Chapter 219 The witch is coming
Runeterra is a huge place, with countless tyrannical forces with history and foundation.

However, most of them only like to guard their own one-third of an acre of land. Even if there is a struggle, they mostly stay inside and play with themselves.There is only one exception - Noxus!
Noxus, which believes in expansionism, is frantically provoking wars around the world, including Demacia, Freljord, Shurima, Ionia... From east to west, from south to north, this This crazy appeal for war successfully made their name heard by everyone.Barbarians, war lunatics, murderous butchers...there is almost no favorable remarks in the world, either denounced or reviled.

But this did not affect Noxus' foreign policy in the slightest.

Unfortunately, the twin city-states of Piltover and Zaun are right next to the south of Noxus, so in a sense, Feros has no choice.

If you don’t join, you will be destroyed sooner or later.

Hexi didn't want to have a big blood-stained ax stuck in front of him one day, and listen to a man shouting a emancipation proclamation such as "Feros makes you kneel, Noxus makes you stand up."

Especially as Hex technology becomes more and more advanced and its war potential is undoubtedly revealed, Noxus is a madman but not a fool and not blind. It would be "too young and too naive" to expect them to turn a blind eye.

But on the premise that the goal remains unchanged, there are still many details worth planning.For example, Emperor Darkwill, who now sits on the throne of Noxus, is not worthy of their service, because it is a giant ship destined to be silent.

Camille was also very serious when she heard Hexi's question, because this was an important decision that really related to the future of the Philos family.

"There's some understanding, but not much."

She said while recalling, "We only know that Noxus' war in Ionia seems to have suffered a major setback recently, and even the commander has disappeared. But they don't care about this at home, and even the head of the Myrdalda family sees it. I feel very happy when I wake up..."

'Is the Battle of Placidum over?So Swain and Trifali, have they already started brewing...'

Camille said a lot, but Hexi's attention was completely attracted by Swain's next movements.

Based on his previous understanding of Noxus, before Swain's revolution, this huge empire seemed to have a supreme emperor and many noble warlords, but secretly they could not escape the influence of a mysterious organization.

Black rose, pale lady.

This is a spider web that has crawled in the shadow of Noxus for thousands of years.

Swain once thought he had eradicated them, but the end result was that his entire army was annihilated in Placidia and he was seriously injured.

If there were no other changes, it would be the best choice to join them, but things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that Swain, who almost lost everything in Ionia, could stage a return of the king?

Swain will lead his followers out of hell, crush the figure on the throne, and declare his rule over Noxus!
What is the difference between joining the Black Rose at this time and joining the Kuomintang in [-]?
So, after thinking about it, Haixi suggested: "Congressman Mel is a good man and a worthy investment target. But the Myrdalda family... we should not have too in-depth cooperation with them for the time being."

"What's the reason?"

Camille asked.

Even though Myrdalda is just a family, as one of the great warlords of Noxus, they have the power in their hands to easily crush Piltover.

If someone fails to anger them, Feros may not end well.

"There is a big difference between vassaling Noxus directly or becoming a vassal of Noxus."

Heich did not say that Noxus was about to undergo drastic changes, but explained from another perspective, "The development of Hex technology will give us more confidence, until Noxus cannot ignore it. So. The longer it takes, the better it is for us.”

"It makes sense." Camille was convinced.

……

……

In the next period of time, Haixi spent almost inseparable time with Victor in the laboratory, designing a glorious evolution ceremony for him.

"You are still young. There is no need for the Hex heart for the time being. To reduce the load for the first time, it is not needed. The Hex computing core and armored prosthetic limbs are the key."

After several days of discussion, they initially determined the target scope for the first renovation.

Under Haixi's suggestion, Glorious Evolution is no longer a one-shot process at the risk of taking risks, but instead is carried out step by step and iteratively.

The first small goal is to solve Victor's walking problem and install a Hex core with very powerful auxiliary functions for him.

Because the goal was clear and clear, the experimental process was very smooth.Victor's sick leg was replaced with a Hex prosthetic leg according to his own wishes.

But he didn’t like Camille’s aggressively stretched blade legs. In addition to the most basic mobility capabilities, his prosthetics also left many interface slots for mounting various tool units or connecting external devices in the future. The armor leaves a lot of leeway.

After completing this stage of transformation, he couldn't wait to apply to go to Zaun.

"You want to help Fander?"

"not only that,"

Victor's eyes shone with hope, "Didn't you say it? The brilliance of evolution is equal, and Zaun is also an indispensable part of Piltover. I agree with this concept very much, and I will help you in my own way to realize it." This vision. Moreover, in this process, my technology will continue to improve. When the next glorious evolution comes, don’t let me outshine you!”

"Haha~"

Haixi smiled and patted his shoulder, "You guy! Just go ahead and do it. I will tell you the contact information of Agent Feros. If anything happens, you must tell me in time."

"Do not worry."

Holding hands, they both saw the burning fire in each other's eyes.

……

……

With Fander and Viktor, Hexi no longer paid attention to Zaun's problems.

In addition to his daily research, he devoted part of his energy to Senator Mel.

It's not that I have any thoughts about this beautiful big black horse, but mainly that I want to learn more about Noxus through her.

Although she is an exiled member, she is still the biological daughter of the head of the Myrdalda family. The education and knowledge she has received since childhood are extraordinary.Chatting with her can quickly supplement Heshe's vague knowledge of Noxus.

In addition, occasionally you can get some secret information about Noxus in advance.

Of course, in terms of communication skills, Hexi is actually not as good as Mel.But the skills are not enough, so I have to use different techniques to make up for it.Every time after the exchange between the two, Mel was also confused as to why he could not refuse the topics Hexi raised when facing him, and couldn't help but want to talk more.The days passed day by day like this.

In order to strengthen Piltover's self-protection, Heishi recently not only assembled various weapons for Camille, but also shifted part of his research focus to the Hex Flying Gate.

The power contained in the Hex Crystal is so wonderful that it can even move time and space, which he has known for a long time.

The power of time has no clue yet, but in terms of space, Pi City already has ready-made works for him to study.

[Weaponization of "Hex Flying Gate"], this is the topic that Hexi is currently investing the most in.

Theoretically, constructing a complete space jump channel is much more difficult than simply tearing apart space.But this is Pi City after all, and there is a void outside Rune Continent that is coveting it. If you don't control your strength well, it will be bad if you tear out a crack in the void.

So you have to debug slowly.

At this moment, good news came that the Bilgewater merchant ship Alice was traveling on arrived.

However, the location they arrived at was not the port of Piltover, but Zaan.

Thus, Haixi stepped into this almost demonized lower city for the first time.

"Well, the air does smell bad."

Even though he was wearing a filter mask commonly used by the police force, Haixi frowned and quickly replaced it with a new version of the Hex air purifier.

It’s not that I really can’t bear it, but since I have the conditions, there’s no need to wrong myself, right?

This time, Wei and three other little carrot heads came down with them. Although life in Pi City was good, they still couldn't forget Zu An's relatives.It just so happened that thanks to the efforts of Victor and Fandel, part of Zaun's order had been recaptured by them. As long as they didn't run around, safety was guaranteed, so they considered it a holiday.

Yes, vacation.Because except for Wei who was unwilling to go to school and chose to participate in Feros's secret agent training, Bakuo and Ike had already started going to school in Feros Manor.

Now that these little geniuses have been acquired, there is no reason to give them away anymore. They must be firmly bound to Feros.

But just after getting off the elevator, the three of them disappeared in an instant.

Hai hoped that their backs would gradually disappear at the end of the chaotic street, and shook his head slightly: "We still need to continue training!"

But this can be regarded as a situation that he had expected. After all, time is still short and the future is long.

After sending a message to Fander, Hexi walked to Zaun's port alone.

This is still Hilko's territory, or in other words, controlling Zaun's port is Hilko's greatest confidence.He amassed a large amount of wealth through the export of Glimmer Potion.Especially when the world environment is turbulent and wars are frequent.

What is distortion?As long as you can gain strength!
There are too many people in this world who cannot survive and need a chance to change their destiny, and Shimmer can provide just that.Not to mention it's quite addictive.

Therefore, when Haixi walked all the way to the vicinity of the pier, he found that even if it could not be called a busy place, it was still not far away.There was an endless stream of ships coming and going, and judging from their clothing, they looked like they were from all over the world.

"No wonder Silko would have the idea of ​​Hex flying in. His business really needs that thing!"

Haixi couldn't help but be speechless. From a certain perspective, Hilko can be regarded as a big arms dealer, right?

However, Pi City itself also sells various technological products to the outside world, including a large proportion of weapons. The eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother. It is indeed a twin city-state!
He hid his figure and took out the contact orb: "Ms. Alice, where have you been?"

"There's a queue outside the dock. This port doesn't look big, but its throughput is quite large."

Alice's voice was filled with curiosity.

"Forehead……"

Haixi didn't know what to say, so he simply ignored the topic, "This dock belongs to a gang. You should have a way to avoid their eyes and ears and join me, right?"

After all, she is a great witch who travels across the sea of ​​​​stars. Her methods will not be restricted by the mere Eye of God. She should be able to do such a thing easily.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

"Avoid them? Why?"

Alice's voice sounded full of excitement to try, "I remember you said you had already established a foothold in the upper city, right? Then why don't I start from this lower city?"

"There's no need for this. To be honest, even the two cities combined are not enough for you!"

Haixi has already made a lot of plans in Zaun, and Alice is an unpredictable master. He can't trust this great witch to freely display her talents in Zaun.

"Kekeke, I'm teasing you little Haixi~"

Alice let out a mischievous laugh, "You're right, the Twin Cities are too small, and there's simply not enough room for me to do my best! But the Noxus Empire, which accepts all comers and takes the most capable ones, is a bit interesting. Didn’t you say that Zu An also has business dealings with them, so it’s okay for me to set up a line from here?”

'There is definitely no problem, there is no problem!But letting Aerith join Noxus? '

Just thinking about it makes Haixi shudder. What kind of mess will this lawless witch and a group of war madmen make Runeterra into?
Haixi couldn't help but mourn for the indigenous people here.

'But what does any of this have to do with me?On the contrary, given Alice's ability, if she really joins the Trifali Council, her status will definitely not be low.This is very good for Piltover, which also wants to occupy a place in it. '

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Haixi responded: "Of course, no problem. I even have channels that can contact the Myrdalda family, the great warlord in Noxus. If you want, you can also use it. use."

"Then you go back first~"

Alice's voice was cheerful, "I will find you after I have established a foothold in Zaun."

"Well, have a good time, Sister Alice."

Hexi weakly sent out his blessing. He had to quickly remind Victor and Fandel that it was best to make a truce with Silko during this period, and be particularly careful not to provoke a woman in red.

Otherwise, with Alice's bad taste, although she would not kill easily, she would have ten thousand ways to make life worse than death for those who provoke her.

"The Great Witch is here. Are Zaun, Piltover, Noxus, and even the entire Runeterra and Void ready to be baptized?"
