The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 178 Laxana Crown Guard

"A maze?"

Huo Jixing stood still, his red-gold eyes looking around the black mist in the forest, speechless for a long time.

This was the fourth time he had seen the corpse of the infected demon.

No matter what method he used, he could not get out of the area covered by the black mist.

"Go back?"

Huo Jixing clenched the red fire blade, sighed, turned around and walked back the way he came.

As the night gradually fell, the black mist became thicker and thicker, intending to imprison all intruders.

In front of Fosbyro Town.

Huo Jixing looked at the silent town in the north.

In his field of vision, the heavy iron gate did not bring any sense of security, like an open black giant mouth, swallowing all the residents of the town.

Only the flames on the top of the Light Messenger Temple were still burning, bringing the only remaining light.

Squeak! Squeak!

The snow-white Poro popped his head out of his arms, and fear appeared in his dark eyes.

Just now in the black mist, this cute little guy also fell into a deep sleep.

Now returning to the town, it is a little uneasy, with nowhere to put its claws, and its body trembles.

It was late at night and the city gates were closed.

Huo Jixing chose a deserted place, took the snow-white Poro, easily crossed the city wall and entered the town.

There was no one on the street for a long time, and all residents were not allowed to go out at night at the request of Judge Giselle.

But looking at the dim black mist, Huo Jixing realized that the town seemed to be completely trapped in a dark magic, and an atmosphere of incomparable depression and fear permeated.

"Who is it?"

Huo Jixing just entered the tavern and saw Patapa standing behind the bar with a crossbow in his hand. His old face was full of fatigue, and his neat gray beard was also a little messy.

"My lord?"

Under the dim light of the candlestick.

Patapa looked at Huo Jixing who walked out of the shadow and put down the bow and crossbow.

"I can't get out."

Huo Jixing saw Patapa's searching look and spoke in a serious tone.

Then he simply recounted what he had encountered, but did not mention the demons, and regarded it as something done by the demon-tainted.

Patapa heard this and his expression was silent.

Compared with the attitude of the Noxian Empire towards the pursuit of extraordinary people.

The Kingdom of Demacia is completely the opposite, especially the demon-tainted people who are civilians. After years of accumulated pursuit, many people's psychology has been somewhat distorted.

Patapa had heard before that a top-level dangerous demon-tainted person successfully escaped from prison, which made the Kingdom of Demacia and the Demon Seeker Corps lose face.

"Your Excellency can wait and leave. The people of the Crown Guard family may be coming soon." Patapa said in a low voice.

"After you leave, Judge Giselle and Sister Penile have appeased all the residents of the town."

Judge Giselle is the person in charge of the town of Fosbyro and has extraordinary power.

Sister Penile is the person in charge of the Temple of the Light Messenger.

At the same time, she is also a light messenger and healer who is famous around the town, upholding the glory and responsibility of the Kingdom of Demacia.

"Keep resting." Huo Jixing looked at Patapa, who was yawning and bending his body.

"I'm responsible for the night watch."

"Thank you for your help, sir." Patapa thanked him.

He really couldn't bear it. He was too old and his physical function was seriously declining.

If he was younger, he would still hold on.

The candlelight was lit, and Huo Jixing sat behind the bar, his mind extended, always paying attention to his surroundings.

The nightmare he just encountered made him a little scared, so he simply didn't sleep.

With the abundant energy of the Star of Constellation, Huo Jixing could stay up all night without any impact.

Of course, he didn't sit quietly like this. He took out the letter from the infected demon from his arms and read it again.

"Why did you awaken the remaining power of the demon recently?"

Huo Jixing was confused and thought of his secret mission.

Did he want to disperse the power of the northern part of the Kingdom of Demacia?

But the time was too coincidental. He encountered the demon incident just after he came here.

Huo Jixing's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of Silas's intention.

This guy wanted to make the power of the Noxian Empire fall into the magic quagmire of the Kingdom of Demacia, but he didn't want to be accused of colluding with Noxus.

The hatred between the Kingdom of Demacia and the Empire of Noxus lasted for hundreds of years.

Most of the demon-tainted people born as civilians naturally hated the bloody and barbaric Noxian Empire.

As the leader, Silas would definitely not allow his reputation to be damaged for the internal unity of the demon-tainted people.

Therefore, he sent his confidants to the town of Fosbyro.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, laughed softly, and had to admire Silas.

No wonder he could play with many forces of the Kingdom of Demacia and even seek power in the frozen tundra of Freljord.

Huo Jixing's purpose of appearing here was obvious.

With his identity as the Reiser Garrison Corps, after investigation, it would be the Noxian Empire that would bear the blame that could not be shaken off.

"Death of the Demon-Infected?"

Huo Jixing thought of the Demon-Infected who died on the roadside again, and his heart gradually grew colder.

Squeak! Squeak!

The snow-white Poro cried out in hunger, curled up his furry body, and lay in the warm arms.

Maybe the nightmare last night was too terrible.

The little guy also did not sleep all night, and his dark eyes looked at Huo Jixing pitifully.

"Is it dawn?"

Huo Jixing heard the voice and looked out the window of the tavern.

The sky began to turn pale, and the diffuse black fog had nowhere to hide under its light.

At some point, the black fog began to slowly recede.

It was so quiet, so fast, like a huge tide slowly receding, revealing everything it had submerged.

Huo Jixing stood up, looked at Patapa's residence, and walked to the back kitchen of the tavern.

There was butter bread that had been prepared in the kitchen. He put it in the oven and baked it again, then took it out.

There were vegetables and large pieces of bacon on the table.

He made another vegetable soup, cut the meat slices, evenly arranged them, and brought them out.

He happened to see Patapa who had gotten up.

Huo Jixing smiled and greeted him, but Patapa's condition made him feel nervous.

The old man in front of him was in a very bad state, with an extremely tired look, cloudy eyes and sunken eyes, and dark eye bags.

"Thank you, sir." Patapa looked at the breakfast in front of him and thanked him.

After enjoying breakfast.

Patapa opened the door of the tavern and hung up the sign for business.

Huo Jixing did not leave, but stayed quietly in the tavern.

Yesterday, a soldier from the Kingdom of Demacia saw him leaving, so it was not easy for him to go out now.

Although he was confident that he would not be seen, he would not show his whereabouts unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, Silas really wanted him to reveal his identity in Fosbyro.

Dawn fell.

This small town in the north seemed to have regained new vitality.

Those houses and streets shrouded in darkness revealed their original appearance in the morning light.

The residents of the town walked out of their homes, as if they did not notice the horror of the night, and continued their normal lives.

Just when Huo Jixing thought that the day was over.

There was a sudden noisy sound in the distance, and many residents of the town showed happy expressions.

There was also a faint voice.

"Miss Crown Guard!"
