The Glory of Noxus

Immortal Fortress, Metal Palace Group.

Huo Jixing looked up at the familiar triumphal staircase in front of him, his expression relaxed.

This time he was no longer a prisoner, but a soldier of the Trifari Legion.

With his eyes lowered, he looked at his black steel armor and the dark red cloak on the outside.

He was dressed the same as the soldiers of the Trifari Legion guarding the palace on both sides of the steps.

His current identity was appointed by Darius himself.

Huo Jixing climbed the stairs and came to the side hall of the palace under the gaze of the soldiers of the Trifari Legion.

There were already Leisser garrison soldiers waiting at the door to lead him in.

The dim candlelight fell on the old noble coat.

Huo Jixing saw Swain sitting behind a simple marble table, which was piled with letters and parchment scrolls.

"Meet the commander!"

Swain lowered his head to deal with the letter in front of him, sealed it with wax, and handed it to the Leisser garrison soldier waiting beside him.

"How's your rest recently?"

Thick gray hair draped over his shoulders, a glow in his dark eyes, a faint smile on Swain's face.

"Not bad, I've almost recovered." Huo Jixing said softly, his eyes falling on the dark gray ground under his feet.

Even with the presence of others, the pressure Swain brought to him was too great.

In front of him, Huo Jixing suddenly felt like he was on the edge of an abyss.

Especially under the gaze of the dark eyes, he seemed to be naked, with no secrets to hide.

And he didn't think Swain just came to chat with him, there must be something.

"Don't be nervous."

Swain's eyes flickered, as if he saw through Huo Jixing's thoughts, and he said slowly.

"This is Darius's secret order."

He took out the parchment scroll tied with red rope from his arms and gently placed it on the marble table in front of him.

Huo Jixing picked up the parchment scroll, opened it and read it, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The content was very simple: Order Huo Jixing to temporarily transfer the Resor Garrison Corps and obey Swain's orders.

"Follow your will, my Lord Commander!" Huo Jixing saluted immediately.

This means that he has officially passed the Cuifa Council and Swain's observation, and will be exposed to core knowledge and intelligence.

Swain leaned back, his dark eyes fell on Huo Jixing, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"There is a secret mission that needs you to execute."

After saying that, Swain's eyes fell on the dark corner on the left hand side and spoke softly.

"Tyrone, this is your partner in this secret mission. Let's get to know each other."

Huo Jixing was surprised to hear this, and followed Swain's gaze and looked at the dark corner.

At close range, his spiritual perception could not detect any breath of the other party, as if there was no one.

Wait, Tyrone?

Blade Shadow·Tyrone?

Buzz!

Darkness flickered, and Tyrone, wearing a silver cloak and with cold eyes, walked out and looked at Huo Jixing, saying in a stiff tone.

"Tyrone!"

Huo Jixing took a step forward, stretched out his right hand, and said with a relaxed look: "Huo Jixing, you can call me Xing!"

Tyrone looked at his right hand in front of him without leaving a trace, hesitated for a while, and stretched out his hand to shake it lightly.

Seeing this, Huo Jixing whispered: "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

After Tyrone finished speaking, he immediately returned to the dark corner, and his breath disappeared instantly.

It was Tyrone. Huo Jixing sighed inwardly.

In his previous life memory, Tyrone lived in the darkness of the underground tunnel of the capital of Noxus when he was a child, and only the blade in his hand could bring him a sense of security and reliability.

He had no impression of family, warmth, or kindness.

And in the damp and dark underground tunnel life, Tyrone's current personality was cultivated.

Emotional indifference, cold heart and cold face.

But it also created his mastery of the blade.

Eventually, he became the sword in the hands of General Du Kokao and survived as a special envoy of the Noxian Supreme Command.

At the same time, Talon's life changed with the disappearance of General Du Kokao.

In order to track down the whereabouts of General Du Kokao, he began to serve the Empire's Command, also the Noxian commander Swain.

"Three days, prepare well." Swain retracted his gaze and began to deal with many matters in his hands.

"Okay!" Huo Jixing saluted and replied, then left.

Late at night, the dim candlelight flickered.

In the side hall of the palace, only Swain was still working at his desk.

As if he had finished dealing with the matters in his hands, Swain moved his body and saw his left hand tucked into his clothes.

"Hmm, the terrifying talent of the Protoss."

Thoughts surged, and he recalled all the intelligence information after Huo Jixing arrived in the Noxian Empire.

As a wanderer, he went to the northern border, then to the second battle of Freljord, and finally to the Ring of Fire performance at the Noxcarian Arena.

There are complete clues to prove Huo Jixing's innocent identity.

"Darius is really lucky." Swain sighed.

Then he remembered the comments of many generals of the Empire on Advisor Trifali.

Only a pair of ruthless and picky eyes can select soldiers worthy of joining Trifali's army.

But Advisor Trifali can pick a sheep from a group of wolves two kilometers away.

"Such ability is indeed impeccable."

Swain walked to the side hall, his eyes fell on Huo Jixing's residence, and a touch of envy and admiration appeared in his eyes.

Throughout the history of the Valoran continent, the terrifying talents of the Protoss are also very rare.

He turned to look at the capital city, and a fine red glow appeared in his dark eyes.

"The more I see, the more there is."

"Can the two selected sharp blades cut off the raging undercurrent within the empire?"

Time is like quicksand, fleeting.

In the training room, Huo Jixing stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself.

His handsome face remains the same, his lean and strong body is hidden in a linen robe, covered with purple inner armor, and a red fire blade hangs from his waist.

Looks like a Chamber of Commerce guard.

"It's okay." Huo Jixing was slightly satisfied.

During the three days of preparation, in addition to continuing to exercise every day, he also visited old friends.

Wilson, who is an advisor to the Trifari Legion, has followed Darius out of the capital.

But DeWitt and Korda stayed in the Noxian capital, and the two became idle capital guards.

Huo Jixing was about to carry out a secret mission and it was not convenient to meet him, so he just looked at him from a distance.

"Black Rose."

Huo Jixing's eyes moved slightly and he whispered to himself.

During the recent period, the black rose seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and there was no movement at all.

He had come into contact with himself earlier in the arena prison.

Now that he has shown the terrifying talent of the protoss, he is actually indifferent, which is quite strange.

Huo Jixing thought carefully, maybe because he felt there was no chance.

He himself was too close to Darius and Swain.

Otherwise, based on the protoss-like talent and extraordinary strength he showed after performing in the Ring of Fire in the Knox Scalia Arena.

Of course, I will get an invitation from Black Rose.

"Maybe it's a secret plot?"

Although Huo Jixing's current strength can easily face most troubles.

But black roses cannot be explained by trouble.

However, Huojixing is not under the care of Darius and Swain when he first came to Valoran.

He perfectly used the protoss-like talent to hide the existence of the data panel.

Then, through silent development that steals time, it brings a little surprise to Black Rose.

Huo Ji opened the door and was leaving when he saw the waiting sword boy Heini.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed Heini's little head, and said softly: "Look at home, I'll be away for a while and I'll be back soon."

Outside the Noxian capital.

Many fortresses and towns guard the central capital like satellites.

Near the edge, in a fortress crowded with people and caravans, a dark gray giant building stood in the center, with crimson imperial flags flying high on the left and right sides of the building.

The wide road built with flat rocks passes through the ethereal and rippled air vortex, and you can vaguely see the hazy scenery on the other side.

Huo Jixing, who had been disguised, looked at the huge door in front of him, his eyes filled with strange light.

【Noxtra】!

Portal to the Noxian Empire

Portals of black stone dug from the mountains surrounding the Noxian Empire's capital city, the Immortal Fortress, have risen on every road leading to the city.

In front of Noxtra, he saw Talon wearing a silver cloak and leaning against the wall.

It is different from the identity of the chamber of commerce guard that Huo Jixing pretended to be.

Talon invoked Noxtra as an envoy to the Noxian High Command.

Except for Swain, no one knew of Talon's whereabouts.

The two of them, one in the open and one in the dark, perform secret missions.

Huo Jixing nodded imperceptibly to Tai Lung, then followed the crowd and entered Noxtola first.
