Huo Lun walked out of the gap in the underworld and returned to the Land of Runeterra, night had fallen, and the scenery on the side was no longer a mountain wall. In its place are stellar lights, tall walls and stone buildings.

This unique sense of architectural oppression and defense, the teleportation point chosen by Maudekaiser, Horren should have understood with his toes that this was Noxus and not Ionia.

It wasn't clear if he had risen from the dead or had successfully resisted death, but at this moment he might be facing the greatest challenge of Runeterra, being coerced by the Dark King Mordkaiser, and returning to Noxus for more than a bottle of potion that had disappeared completely.

What he wants is Hollen to help him fight with LeBlanc and Svein. Huo Lun didn't want to think too much, the silence around the side was extremely quiet, thinking that it was a local slum, and those who had the slightest ability would run to the lively place to join the duel and seek a glimmer of possibility for their future. But finding a place for yourself right now is all that matters.

Huo Lun walked forward in confusion, the faint smell of blood in the air made Huo Lun frown involuntarily, and a slight weak gasp gradually came from his ears. Horren approached cautiously and found a man lying on the ground, dying.

Saving people, Horren immediately cast a wave of shock around him, and the agile magic sea quickly healed his injuries, and after a while, he slowly got up.

"How are you feeling?" Huo Lun asked carefully, and he couldn't see each other's faces clearly in the night, and he didn't know whether the person was good or bad.

"It's a miracle! You saved me, you're a mage! God, if you let the army know, you will be a treasure for all of Noxus, and you can heal countless wounded on the battlefield with your magic alone. ”

"Can you tell me what's going on, this ......"

"Mofu, I'm really sorry for saying a lot of abrupt words, I lost a duel with someone, and I didn't have much money to heal my injuries when I came back here, so I almost collapsed here and died, what's your name."

"Hollen, don't you have any family?"

"No, there are a lot of orphans here, but there are very few people like me who have grown to 25 years old, why are you here, with your ability, you can make it to the top in Noxus, why are you in the Coroline slum."

"I... I've come looking for a few friends, but they may have already left, and if you don't mind if you can take me back to your place, I'll ........"

Hearing this, Mofu immediately smiled with relief, "Who hasn't made a mess of things, needless to say, not to mention that you saved my life, you will definitely be a rich person in the future, as long as you don't dislike me and live with me for as long as you want." ”

Huo Lun nodded slowly, and almost ran out of his mouth, Don't worry, I am rich, don't forget it. He returned to his home with Mofu.

Mow's home was very simple, a simple little stone house, a few wrapped cloths and some clothing, and a few candles.

Under the candlelight, Huo Lun saw Mofu clearly, his face was resolute and handsome, his eyes were very bright, his hair was pitch black, but he was a little greasy for health reasons, the whole person was very thin, and the muscles of his whole body were faintly buried under his clothes.

"Do you usually do anything?"

"Occasionally I get some work, move things, sometimes I go to the arena when I'm in good shape, and if I'm lucky, I can make a lot of money."

"You... Do you want to be born as a commoner like Darius, but rise to prominence with your achievements, and even become a member of the Trifali Council and dominate the country? ”

"Of course!"

"Then why didn't you join the army? Noxus has been on a long campaign, and the other day they attacked Presidium in Ionia. ”

"My skeleton and body are not natural warriors, I have always been malnourished since I was a child, and I can only look at the timing to find weaker opponents in the arena, and I can't pass the review of joining the army."

Mofu's tone was sad and poignant, which reminded Horen that his situation in reality was similar, except that Noxus did not have the superior welfare system of Hollen's society, and it was still a large empire that was constantly expanding its territory, with grand goals and expeditions.

He is more than the same people for some ideals, pursuits and desires, which will be the shackles and pain of his life.

"Then work hard and pursue your goals, otherwise you will be like this for the rest of your life, and no one knows where you will die that day, you don't want to think about this, right, Mofu."

"I've been working hard, don't look at me thin, my strength and physical strength are definitely much better than you, a mage, as long as you don't use magic."

"Of course, what are your plans for tomorrow?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, but I think we can get some sleep first."

Horen didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, and only after Mofu fell into a deep sleep, his chest rose and fell smoothly, and his voice was natural, did Hollen go from fake sleep to deep sleep.

The next morning, when Horen woke up in a daze, Mofu had just returned from outside, holding a few strangely shaped pasta that he didn't know what to say. Away from the magic of Ionia and the fruit of the tree, the long-standing thirst for carbohydrates irritated Horen's stomach.

Huo Lun's use of the Shock Tide has been like a fish in water in recent days, without the Magic Tree Fruit, the magic tide gargling is only Huo Lun can think of it, but fortunately, the effect is the same except for being a little salty.

When Huo Lun finished rinsing his mouth and the tide washed his face, he took a big bite of unknown pasta.

"You look like you're fifteen or sixteen years old, aren't you worried about coming here?"

"I'm an adult, I'm almost 20 years old, I don't have a family."

Mofu stopped talking when he heard this, and ate silently with Horren.

"You can make a good future in Noxus, you know..."

"Hmm."

"You can't get used to my hard life, you should go to the city, your talent will be appreciated, and even go as you told me last night."

Mofu's tone was sincere, his eyes were gentle and revealed a little sadness, Huo Lun looked at Mofu and said seriously, "I'm not interested in the big drama that the three people in the council are doing, they are harmonious on the surface, and Xiao Jiujiu who is planning behind his back is more terrible than anyone else, and he is very tired." ”

Holren eased his pasta hand, and continued, "And I'm waiting for my friend Mofu to carry me in the future, maybe I can make my little mage appreciated by the Pale Lady." ”

When Mofu heard this, he laughed, "Yes, I won't forget you then, but seriously you can go to the city, and I can show you the way." ”

Huo Lun's heart was cold when he heard this, recognizing the reality is the key, and it is no surprise that Mofu regards himself as a cash cow or a nobleman.

After he had eaten his fill, Horen would go to the city with Mofu, and he already had some ideas in his mind. Hollen did not want to sway the power of any regional city-state, but it was a utopian idealism, and Noxus embraced all kinds of people, cultures, and ideas only for the strength and good of the country.

Every civilian has a chance to achieve something in Noxus. Svein executed Emperor Dakovel in public, and Darius entered the Trifali Council to tell the people of the whole country that even if you were born poorly, you can still achieve glory and wealth with your own efforts, and even become a member of the country.

Therefore, this empire, Horren recognized its rise and greatness from the bottom of his heart. But Mordecaesar and his army of thousands of undead will definitely control the power of the entire Runeterras, and with the unknown nature of the void, Horn must not allow Mordkaiser to be resurrected because of himself.

When you come to the city, all kinds of people wander on the road, under the oppressive buildings, the crowd is not as free and noisy as the forest market, and there are some shops along the road selling clothes, handmade products, and more food.

Noxus is not only scarce in magic, but also very poor in land, and food and water are the foundation of life, so naturally it is more concerned.

Mov led Hollen to a small shop, and when he walked inside, he saw some tables, chairs, and simple furnishings, which looked like a restaurant. A man sat by the door, his hat covering half of his face, and he reached out and pointed inward, and Mofu's eyes radiated brilliance and led Hollen in.

The curtain was pulled open to a passage, which ended in a staircase that winded upwards as if it led to the lodging room at the back. Mofu came to the staircase and tapped the wall three times, and in a moment a passage appeared on the wall that led to the underground.

"Don't worry, this is the way to the underground arena."

"This is clearly not an official arena."

"It can give you things that you don't have in public arenas outside."

"Big money?"

Mofu nodded, and walked down, Horren preoccupied after him.

"I always thought that this kind of place would only come alive at night."

"Too much excitement often clashes with other excitement, that's the danger, daytime competition, this is also the difference in the underground arena."

Holren and Mofu soon came to the underground, and when the two gatekeepers saw Mofu, they opened the door without saying a word, "Are you going to be beaten again?" I also brought a tender skin boy. ”

Mofu ignored them, and walked in quickly with Horen, although it was daylight, but the underground arena was closed to the outside world, and the light source here was naturally all kinds of candles, and the whole room was filled with all kinds of people, their clothes and costumes were different, and some of them were obvious to the rich and noble.

"There are a lot of entrances and exits to this arena, right?"

"How do you know?"

"Otherwise, so many people came in through that small passage like ducks, and there was some unwanted bustle, there should be another way to evacuate, especially those rich and noble."

"Horen I know it's bad for me to do this, but I'm not trying to take you to that dangerous arena, where even the one who heals the victors can make a lot of money, and you need it."

Mofu's eyes were sincere, so that Horren didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only nod to him, and then Mofu took Horen to a person's side, only to see that he was wearing the delicate steel armor of Noxus, his face was resolute, and he had experienced vicissitudes.

"Mofu!? What are you going to make here? I really didn't expect you to be alive and recover quickly? ”

"Don't make fun of me, Josephine, it's all up to this friend, he knows magic, he's very healing, maybe you can arrange a good errand for him, he thinks it's worth the attention of the whole arena."

"Magic!?" Josephine's gaze looked at Hollen with some surprise, "Will you heal?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Josephine."

"That's good, the winner of one cure is 1,000 Nok Coins, and if it can be completely cured and you are given 10,000 Nok Coins, why don't you do it."

"Okay." Although Horen didn't know what the exchange rate of Noxus was, judging from Mow's eyes shining and his mouth almost couldn't close, Hove knew that it was a lot of money, so he readily agreed and became a magic doctor to make some money and learn more about the local area.

"Follow me to the ring of life and death."

Holren glanced at Mofu, and saw that his expression was slightly tangled, so he quickly followed.

"Take me too, I'll be a spectator."

"Okay, after all, you brought the man, if he doesn't have magic power, don't go."
