The Glory of Noxus

One month later.

Blood Cliff, Mauuli Castle.

Jalal walked along the winding passage and came to the silver-white training room.

As soon as he stepped into the giant steel door, he frowned and realized that the temperature in the air was much higher than outside, and even had the illusion of being scorching.

"It seems to be stronger than before?" Jalal thought to himself.

The last few times he came here, he would always notice that Huo Jixing's aura was getting stronger again.

Boom! Boom!

Jalal knocked on the steel door.

After waiting for a while.

The giant steel door opened from the inside, and a wave of red hot air hit his face, making his clothes flutter.

Jalal looked at the shirtless Huo Jixing in front of him.

The body is high and the red hard muscles are like lava, bringing a shocking feeling.

Following Huo Jixing's steps, a terrible sense of oppression filled his heart, and the air around him was slightly distorted.

Jalal was shocked inside.

Such a body is too terrifying, completely beyond the physical boundaries between ordinary people and extraordinary beings.

He had already made a guess.

Perhaps Huo Jixing has stepped into the realm of heroes, otherwise he would not have won the appreciation of Lord Swain and Lord Riven.

"What's the matter?"

Huo Jixing looked at the absent-minded Jalal and asked.

In recent times, the changes made to him by [Star Spirit Suzaku Stance] have gradually slowed down.

If you still want to make progress, you can only rely on the hard work of the water mill.

"The Commander-in-Chief wants to see you." Jalal replied softly, using honorifics.

"Huh?" Huo Jixing's face turned doubtful when he heard this.

"Has the Commander arrived at the Blood Cliff?"

Since defeating Vladimir's half-finished body, Huo Jixing has cooperated with Jalal to clean the inside of Blood Cliff several times. Basically, there will be no influence of the Scarlet Secret Society.

"no."

Jalal shook his head slightly and walked out of the training room without explaining.

"Come with me."

Huo Jixing put on a coat and followed Jalal's footsteps to a secret darkroom in the castle.

The darkroom in front of us shows that it was not established for a long time.

The walls are made of solid rock, a bit rough, but filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

The door of the darkroom is a huge iron door with a bloody gem inlaid on the door. When the dim light passes through the gem, it will refract a strange light.

Huo Jixing looked at Jalal in confusion and saw him pointing to the darkroom, gesturing for him to go in.

Huo Jixing then pushed open the iron door and entered the darkroom.

The space inside the darkroom is tall and wide. Mysterious symbols are engraved on the walls, and the air is filled with a strange and mysterious atmosphere, which seems to hide endless secrets.

While he waited.

The mysterious symbols on the wall lit up, and the red aura gradually rose.

Buzz! Buzz!

In an instant.

The surging runic energy appeared in the secret room, like a brush in the hand of a painter, outlining the blood-red pattern one by one.

Click!

It's like eyes opening.

In Huo Jixing's field of vision, a huge red eye with a black cross in the middle appeared out of thin air.

【Imperial Vision】!

The name of Swain's skill from his previous life suddenly appeared in Huo Jixing's heart.

The sound that followed confirmed him in his heart.

"Long time no see, Star!"

"I've met the Commander-in-Chief."

Huo Jixing heard the sound and bowed to his eyes, marveling secretly in his heart.

What a practical and terrifying ability!

The current location of Blood Cliff is in the center of the east, and the capital of Noxus is in the hinterland of the empire.

With [Imperial Vision], Swain crossed the endless spatial distance and descended on the blood cliff.

"The mission was completed well, and your reward is on the way."

Swain's voice echoed in the dark room through the huge red eyes.

"And your new mission."

Huo Jixing raised his brows, and the red golden light filled his eyes, but it was impossible to see through the red eyes at all.

Then he chuckled, a rare joke.

"Haha, I hope I won't encounter a powerful opponent like Vladimir again."

"No, it has been arranged this time."

Swain's voice continued to sound, but I don't know if it was due to the transmission through his eyes, but no emotion could be heard.

Huo Jixing remained respectful and spoke softly: "Follow your will."

After saying that, he stepped out of the secret room.

After a while.

The huge eyes floating above the darkroom did not disappear because of Huo Jixing's departure.

It seemed to blink slightly, reflecting Swain far away in the capital.

Sitting in the audience hall, Swain lowered his eyes and dealt with the affairs in front of him, with a hint of worry in his dark eyes.

Based on the recent various intelligence from the Reese Guard Corps and the Assassin Guild.

Black Rose seems to be taking action again, and the specific reason is very mysterious.

He had to secretly arrange for Talon and Riven to conduct a secret investigation.

In addition, through intelligence analysis, Swain saw darkness spreading and the situation grim not only in the Noxus Empire.

In other parts of the Valoran continent, there are also many dark fogs.

the next day.

Huo Jixing had just gotten up and was enjoying breakfast.

Jalal pushed the door open and came in, handing him a black brocade box with the empire's logo, saying it was a reward from the empire's high command.

He originally wanted to persuade Jalal to stay for dinner, but this guy was a little busy recently, so he said goodbye in a hurry and left.

Huo Jixing swallowed the white bread in his mouth, his eyes fell on the black brocade box, and he opened it casually.

The brocade box was opened, and the blazing heat suddenly emerged, baking the room.

"This is."

Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and saw a burning gem lying quietly in the black brocade box.

This gem was about the size of a baby's fist, and the whole showed a deep red luster, as if there was a flame burning inside.

Upon closer inspection, the surface of the gem was not very smooth, but engraved with a deep golden rune, which intertwined with the red of the gem, flashing a mysterious brilliance.

"Burning gem?"

Huo Jixing felt the rich power of the rune, reached out to the burning gem, and immediately felt the blazing temperature invade.

This heat seemed to emanate from the inside of the gem, as if people were placed next to a red-hot stove and were baptized by high temperature.

Even though there was still some distance from the gem.

But Huo Jixing could still feel the blazing baking feeling.

Not only that, the burning gem also showed a deep red color, as if it was a reflection of the flame inside the gem.

The bright light spread in the room, rendering the walls and the table with a layer of mysterious red.

Huo Jixing picked up the [Burning Gem], felt the rune energy inside the gem, and instantly understood the changes in his body.

"My physical attributes have increased again, about 2 points."

The toughness of the skin and the durability of the muscles have been strengthened, and the fire of Nanli seems to have been injected with inexplicable power, and it is much more active.

"Absolutely exquisite!"

"It is much more effective than the [Red Crystal] and [Blue Crystal]."

Huo Jixing was very surprised. After playing with the [Burning Gem], he strung it together and hung it around his neck.

Then he remembered the new task and found a letter with sealing wax in the interlayer of the black brocade box.

"Demacia?"

Huo Jixing wiped off the sealing wax, opened the letter, and after reading it, he could not hide his inner surprise.

He had never expected that his secret mission was within the territory of the Kingdom of Demacia.

Perhaps he was a little confused. Huo Jixing read the letter carefully, and after confirming that it had the signatures of the Supreme Command of the Empire and Swain, he gradually settled down.

"Is it the vortex within the empire?"

Huo Jixing thought of the two secret missions he had carried out and Swain's worries.

It seemed to be a new secret mission, but he felt that he was arranged to temporarily leave the Noxus Empire.

Huo Jixing couldn't help but think of the Pale Lady of the Black Rose, Vladimir and the Scarlet Secret Society.

With his current strength, facing these beings with legendary or even demigod powers, he was indeed like an ant.

Perhaps leaving the Noxus Empire temporarily.

For him and Swain, it was a good choice.

Having the terrifying talent of the Protoss but not the power to ensure his own safety would indeed attract secret prying.

Fate is endless, and it is as perishable as ordinary people.

Huo Jixing sighed helplessly and chose to follow Swain's will.
