"Bangbao, I'm back!" Wei walked into the house with a smile on her face and shouted.
Jinx, who was playing with her little invention in the cubicle, put down the screwdriver in her hand when she heard this and walked out quickly, spreading her hands in a half-hug.
"Oh, welcome home, Vi."
This is a habit they have developed in the past two months.
In the blink of an eye, it has been four months since they left Piltover and entered Noxus. The two sisters seemed to have forgotten the dispute between Piltover and Zaun, and started a new life in this Noxian town where no one knew their names.
life.
And their living situation is more appropriately described as a couple than a pair of sisters.
Wei is the husband who is busy working outside every day, making money to support the family, supporting Jinx's research interests, and manufacturing new weapons.
Jinx is a wife who will learn to do some housework and even gradually learn to cook.
This kind of warm and tranquil life is what they dream of. If they didn't still have the mission of revitalizing Zaun in their hearts, and there are still people they want to see and others they want to take care of, they would wish they could continue to live like this in Noxus.
Yes, they love Noxus.
At least I like it so far.
Wei took out her money bag from her arms and shook it in the air. The gold coins collided and intertwined with 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 Wei up and down and found a shallow bruise at the corner of her left eye. She frowned and said, "Are you injured? Wei."
"It's just a scratch." Wei said unconcernedly.
She now works two jobs. During the day, she works hard at the dock and carries large bags. Her income is just enough to sustain her daily life and rent a house. Her night job is less legal but profitable - playing black boxing.
Almost everyone in Noxus is a martial artist, and every city has a gladiatorial arena for warriors to compete, as well as a black boxing ring held in secret.
Countless warriors have honed their skills in it, and many have sacrificed their lives and blood to fight for wealth.
It was very troublesome to become an official gladiator, and there was no official arena in this port town, so Wei found the black boxing ring.
In the past three months, with her strength, she has basically beaten all the invincible players 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 asked her to use all her strength, and the injuries she suffered were far beyond the surface. She still has a dull pain in her abdomen, just to prevent Jinx from worrying.
Just no performance.
Of course, high risk means high return.
The bulging purse told her it was worth it.
After simply applying some medicine, the two sisters went to the kitchen to work on dinner together. 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 is the city where Darius, the general of the current Trifali Triumvirate, was born. Because of this, they did not miss the line and were basically not affected by the turmoil in the country. It has complete facilities and is a famous gladiatorial arena in Noxus.
, the trial ground...well, there are many, many benefits."
It's not that Wei loves fighting and killing, and pays attention to the gladiatorial arena wherever she goes. She just wants to exercise her abilities. That night, the image of herself, Jinx, and Ekko being knocked down by Sewell almost instantly was in her mind.
Lingering, if Sewell can do it, so can she!
Jinx shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "No problem, I think you can find a forge that doesn't go out in any city in this country, and there will be no shortage of things I need anywhere."
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, Jinx winked her left eye mischievously, and Wei was filled with joy.
Great, Baobao is back.
"Woof! Wooow!"
At this moment, a fierce dog bark suddenly sounded outside the door, making the two sisters turn their heads in surprise.
Wei frowned and stood up to wipe her hands: "You watch the ignition and explosion, I'll go take a look."
Jinx half-tilted her head and said hum.
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? May I ask who you are?"
The young man who appeared in front of her was less than 1.7 meters tall, with a smooth face and a lot of pimples on the left side of his face. He looked like a delinquent, but he was a well-known figure in this port town, just because of his
The family has made military exploits for Noxus and has been awarded titles.
Behind him were two guards, holding a dog on their hands... No, that was not a simple dog. As far as Wei knew, it was called a 'dragon dog', a powerful creature in the north of Noxus.
.
It has dragon-like armor, powerful limbs and claws, and an eagle-like beak. Although its bark is similar to that of a dog, its combat effectiveness is ten times that of an ordinary hound. It is also used in most Noxian military operations.
to it.
In the southwest of the empire, the Yalong dog, which is only found in the north, is obviously a symbol of status and wealth.
Wei felt a little uneasy in her heart, especially when she found that Viscount Feucht was looking at her up and down unscrupulously as if appraising a piece of merchandise. Her uneasiness became even more intense.
"Wei Ole?" Viscount Feucht said in a high-pitched voice: "You have attracted a lot of attention in the black boxing ring recently. You are very good at fighting."
Wei's heart sank.
Winning his money? Or just using me as a source of black boxing? What does he want?
"Don't worry." At this time, Viscount Feucht showed a slight smile and said, "I admire you very much. Become a gladiator of the Feucht family. You will have a bigger stage and more trials.
, maybe even... have the opportunity to enter the center of the empire and be appreciated by the big shots?"
He drew the cake and did not give Wei a chance to refuse. He directly motioned to the guard and handed over a contract: "Sign it."
Wei took it, read it briefly, and her heart sank a little. This was not a contract of betrayal, but it was better than a contract of betrayal. If she signed it, she would become a tool to make money for Feucht!
She considered her words for a moment, raised her head and said, "I'm sorry, Viscount Feucht, thank you for your appreciation, but I don't have that big ambition. I just hope to earn enough money to support my sister and I, and boxing is just for the sake of it."
make money."
"Oh?" Feucht raised his eyebrows, and his face was visibly displeased.
At this time, his eyes suddenly turned again, looking behind Wei, and said with a bit of greed: "Is this your sister? Ha, it doesn't look like her at all."
Wei was startled, then turned her head, and saw Jinx leaning sideways on the door frame, her slender white right leg half-crossed, arms folded, head tilted, like a delinquent girl, but with a hot and conspicuous figure.
After entering Noxus, Vi reminded Jinx many times to pay attention to her clothes, because she had long discovered that the little girl in her memory had now become a beautiful girl who could attract the attention of men.
It's a pity that Jinx only listened to half of it, and she often wore cool clothes when she didn't go out.
Wei secretly said something was wrong: "Bangbao, didn't I ask you to watch the fire? Go home quickly!"
Instead, Jinx walked over, took the contract from Vi's hand, and started reading it.
Viscount Feucht smiled and said: "No one without ambition will come to Noxus. It seems that you are not satisfied with the conditions I gave.
It doesn't matter, we can talk about it, and I can help you avoid your worries... Just let your sister go to my manor to be a maid and take care of my son's daily life, well, that's it."
Wei was silent and clenched her fists slightly.
Things took a turn for the worst.
I was careless, I should have thought that nobles everywhere are equally annoying, and should have prepared for such a scene earlier!
What to do now?
Bah--
The sound of paper being torn suddenly came from the side, and Wei looked shocked: "Explode...?!"
But Jinx ignored it, and just tore the contract into pieces bit by bit, put it in the palm of her hand and blew on it, and voila - the paper scraps flying in the sky covered her eyes and face.
Viscount Feucht on the opposite side also looked shocked. He looked at Jinx in surprise and suddenly laughed: "Have character... huh?"
A butterfly came out of nowhere and landed on the bridge of his nose. He stopped talking and reached out to hit it impatiently.
Wei Wei said horrified: "Don't! Bang Bang!!"
Boom——
The violent explosion drowned out her voice!
Before Viscount Feucht could say anything else, he was thrown away with the explosion of the butterfly, and his whole face was covered in blood and flesh.
At the same time, his two guards and the dragon dog also received the same treatment.
After the smoke and dust passed, except for the Yalong dog wearing Lin armor, which could lie in the distance and let out two mournful screams and whimpering, the three people were already dead!
Jinx tilted her head, made a pistol gesture and aimed at the dragon dog. With a snap in her mouth, the dragon dog took its last breath in time.
Wei looked at it blankly, knowing it was broken.
"Bangbao, how could you..."
"Is there a better choice?" Jinx smiled: "Do you really want me to be a nanny for his son? Wei! You have to be decisive when it's time to take action. What are you afraid of?!"
Wei Yi Zhi, now she is indeed not the Wei who used to punch anyone who was unhappy... What am I afraid of?
Fandel's face flashed before his eyes, and unexpectedly, there was also Silko's face.
What am I afraid of?
"Vi, I have changed, and so have you." Jinx said: "I am very satisfied with who I am now, but actually... I don't really like you like this.
He's just a loser who has suffered from the shadow of his father's generation. If you kill him, kill him. Even if you don't go out much these days, I know that Noxus is a place where fists have the final say!"
She looked at Vi and grinned: "Let's join the Noxian army, Vi! I think there will be something we want there!"
Join...the army? Vi looked at Jinx, her eyes gradually becoming determined.
…
January 17, morning.
The royal capital of Noxus, the Immortal Fortress.
Ji Xing was walking on the way to Noxus Academy of Magic, admiring the scenery of the royal capital.
There are many differences from the Twin Cities and Bilgewater. The architecture of Noxus can be described in two words - crisp and solid.
It's hard to see any circular decorations here. Most of the edges and corners are as sharp as knives and axes. More importantly, the battlements are densely covered. Even if some of them can be called roadblocks, they must be turned into fortifications once a war breaks out.
Pedestrians on the street were also walking in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry. In fact, this was just a common living habit of Noxians.
"New map unlocked."
Ji Xing looked at the fortress in the distance that looked like two parallel peaks and murmured casually.
Time flies, and two months have passed since the Soul-eating Night in Bilgewater. In the first month, Ji Xing stayed in Bilgewater and saw off Lucian and his wife, Olaf.
Everyone is busy with their own things.
Afterwards, he conducted a simple magic enlightenment on Sarah. Fortunately, Sarah has good magic talent. After simple practice, she can at least reach the level of skillful use of magic items. If the double guns can be 'enchanted', the combat effectiveness will be improved by leaps and bounds.
By the way, he also did some serious work and established a stable universal capsule sales point in Bilgewater. When he left, the 100,000 universal tool boxes shipped in advance had been sold out, and Sarah exclaimed repeatedly.
I didn't even know there were so many wealthy people hiding in Bilgewater.
Under the care of Sarah, who has been basically recognized as the Queen of Bilgewater after the Night of Souls, the wealth of Bilgewater will flow into Ferroth's house and into Ji Xing's purse like spring water.
Of course, what Ji Xing values more is starlight, and the increase in growth rate did not disappoint him.
After that, he returned to Piltover for a week, provided several advanced products of the universal capsule, reviewed some problems at the Zaun Universal Factory, and had a small gathering with Jace, Victor, and Caitlin, and then left Piltover again and came to
Noxus.
There is no need for him to expand trade routes this time. Noxus has already become a hot-selling place for universal capsules, and the merchants here are a hundred times more active than the pirates.
Ji Xing only came to learn magic at LeBlanc's invitation. If there were other tasks, it was just Caitlin's "If you happen to meet Vi and Jinx, see how they are doing."
Well, when Ji Xing landed at the Noxus port, he used the cards to predict fortune. The result was that a short crisis was exchanged for a good opportunity, and he might meet him in an unexpected way... Ji Xing
Xing didn't care anymore.
The lively streets were gradually left behind. Ji Xing came to a relatively remote area and saw a magnificent building complex in front of him.
The gate is plain as usual, and there is no signboard. It seems that this is the famous 'Noxus Academy of Magic'!
In this world where mages generally have strong combat capabilities, one can imagine how high the status of mages would be in Noxus, where force is respected.
After releasing the entry book from the universal capsule, Ji Xing walked into the magic academy, and soon a young man walked quickly in front of him.
The other party obviously noticed the entry book in Ji Xing's hand, and said with a respectful expression: "Hello, are you a mage who has just joined the academy? I am the mage apprentice Betes, please give me the entry book."
Although mage apprentices are called mage, their status is not the same as that of mage. They only have a little magic talent and can help real mage do odd jobs and make some treasures.
Ji Xing smiled at him and handed the entry book to him. Bates' hand slowly moved across the entry book, injecting specific magic power, and soon part of the blank page was filled in.
Bates read it briefly and then looked in awe: "It turns out to be Mage Roger recommended by the Kythira family. Are you from Bilgewater? Welcome to join the Magic Academy."
From a simple sentence, Ji Xing extracted two pieces of information that LeBlanc gave to him.
The Kythira family is from LeBlanc.
You can wear Roger's vest first.
He nodded and said: "It's me. Next thing is hard work. Can you show me the buildings of the college?"
