The Glory of Noxus

The 1st wave

In the noisy and enthusiastic atmosphere.

The little warrior finally squeezed to the back of the main venue and found a wooden pillar that was easy to climb up and out of sight.

So the little warrior quickly climbed up and was just high enough to see the celebration venue.

Perhaps the timing was just right.

At the other end of the main venue, a speaker and a group of Demacia officials stood on the podium, with a huge building covered by the ceremony curtain behind them.

In the front was the judge of Wind Ripple Town, with a calm face and a gentle smile, and the bronze double-winged emblem on his chest shining.

Although the crowd was loud, the humorous speeches of the speaker and the judge spread throughout the venue.

They told the story of the demon slayer, how the demon slayer saved countless farms and villages.

And solved many monsters and robbers.

Finally, the judge of Wind Ripple Town said that this honorable warrior chose to remain anonymous, but they should still commend his deeds.

A few weeks ago, someone saw the appearance of the demon slayer in a disaster.

After the speech, the judge, with a formal smile, untied the red ceremony curtain with the speaker, revealing a lifelike stone statue.

It was carefully carved by the sculptor of the Duran family invited by Fenglian Town.

The little warrior saw the appearance of the demon slayer for the first time, and his purple eyes were filled with excitement.

The stone statue was a typical Demacia warrior.

He was two meters tall, wearing heavy silver plate armor, and his muscles were prominent.

At his feet lay the bodies of a wolf and a wyvern, which were obviously killed by him.

This image began to take root in the little warrior's mind.

Until she heard the innocent voice of a child a few meters away.

"Dad, look, it's the demon slayer, just like the statue." A little girl shouted happily.

The little warrior looked in the direction the little girl pointed, and then immediately looked back.

She thought the demon slayer was standing behind her, but she didn't see anyone.

"No, child." The little girl's father shook his head.

"That's not a demon slayer. It's less than half the height."

After hearing this, the little girl and her father quickly lost interest.

They went to the other side of the market square to participate in other celebrations.

In the figure in front of the little girl, a handsome guy also turned back and saw the little warrior.

"Yordle?"

Looking at the little warrior on the pillar, Huo Jixing's mind suddenly emerged with such thoughts.

This is not for no reason.

But the little warrior in front of him fits the description of the Yodel.

Yordle is one of the main intelligent races on the Valoran continent.

They have blue skin, a little fluffy, and an average height of only about 0.8 meters. They mainly live in Bandle City.

If the Valoran continent is the material realm, then Bandle City exists in the spiritual realm.

Together, they build a unique rune magic time.

Yordle is a peaceful and gentle race that prefers to pursue fun and a little bit of mischief.

Moral guidelines usually point to kindness and mercy.

The little warrior in front of Huo Jixing is a Yodel.

Even though he had never seen a Yodel until now, he still recognized the identity of the little warrior.

And he was a hero who left a deep impression in his past life memory.

On the top of the wooden pillar, the little warrior's gray and white ponytails were curled behind her head. Her eyes were like amethysts, and her plush blue face was extremely cute.

What attracted Huo Jixing's attention the most was the huge holy hammer she carried on her back.

The hammer was twice as long as her, and it contrasted with the golden bronze armor, adding a heroic and resolute temperament.

"I'm not a hero, just a Poppy with a hammer!"

In Huo Jixing's past life memory, there are many interesting stories about Poppy.

For example, Poppy in cannon form, Poppy in ninja form, Poppy in wizard form, Poppy in witch form, Poppy in mushroom form, and Poppy in bomb form.

The most famous one is Poppy who stays up late.

In the center of the market square, the crowd in front of the statue of the demon slayer gradually dispersed, and the judge and speaker had already left.

Huo Jixing noticed Poppy walking towards the statue and looked at it carefully.

The carefully carved demon slayer had long hair with two knots on both sides, like her ponytail.

His hands were uneven from hundreds of battles, and he held a giant war hammer in his hand, which looked very much like the holy hammer given to her by Oren.

Poppy thought to herself, I wonder if there is anyone in the kingdom who is more peerless than this hero.

But deeper in her heart, Poppy asked another question.

After she handed over the holy hammer, where should she go?

Will she find a new goal?

The Yodel without a goal is very pitiful.

Poppy thought about it with great fear, and her heart trembled. She stopped thinking about it and returned to the task at hand.

"I must find this demon slayer."

Behind Poppy, Huo Jixing walked over, looked at the statue of the demon slayer standing in front of him, and then looked at Poppy who was looking up.

Suddenly, he moved in his heart and connected the past and the present.

"Demon slayer?" Huo Jixing laughed softly.

What saved countless farms and villages, what solved the problem of wyverns, what killed the sick wolves.

These were just the deeds that the Holy Hammer Yi Poppy did when he was looking for a hero.

"Poppy?" Huo Jixing walked up to the Yodel and greeted him with a smile.

"Huh?" Poppy turned around and looked at the human in front of him with his purple eyes doubtfully.

"Do I know you?"

She sensed that the other party was a demon-stained person, and a very powerful one.

"I know you." Huo Jixing squatted down and extended his right hand in good faith.

"Huo Jixing, you can call me Xing."

Poppy clenched the Holy Hammer of Oren in his hand, his eyes flashed, and finally he stretched out his plush palm.

"Poppy."

"Well, it's almost noon. Come on, I'll treat you to a meal."

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on the golden hammer, then he stood up and walked towards the hotel.

"ah!"

Bobby looked shocked when he heard this, and panic appeared on his blue face.

She originally planned to leave the celebration after seeing the Demon Slayer sculpture and continue looking for traces of the peerless hero.

But as a yordle, Poppy doesn't know how to reject others.

Otherwise, there would not be such stories about the demon slayers passed down in the nearby towns.

Inside the caravanserai, the atmosphere was silent.

Perhaps the celebration in the small town was too popular and there were not many people in the hotel.

The head of the caravan and the guards have already gone to the market square to get busy.

Only the proprietress Eina stayed behind the table, her pretty face resting on her white arms, and her eyes dully observing the corner of the hotel.

Hearing the footsteps, Eina stood up to greet them, wearing a red dress, showing off her graceful figure.

"Follow yesterday's meal, plus a portion of white bread, vegetable soup and special bacon."

After Huo Jixing finished speaking, he ignored Aina's charming look and walked to the dining table in the hotel.

Because right now, he has more important things to do.

After a cup of tea.

When Poppy saw the food on the table, his purple eyes turned: "Is there so much food?"

"Well, I have a big appetite."

Huo Jixing said with a smile, took out the snow-white Poro in his arms and placed it next to the dinner plate.

I don’t know what’s going on with this little guy recently, and he’s seriously drowsy.

"Wow, it's Poro."

The moment Poppy saw the snow-white Poro, his purple eyes showed excitement.

Sure enough, Snow White Poro is very lethal to women. Huo Jixing thought secretly.

Poppy quickly put down the food in his hand and hugged the snow-white Poro, his expression full of joy.

After playing around for a while, Poppy took the Snow White Poro to enjoy the meal together, completely forgetting his previous reluctance.

Finished lunch.

The crowds in front of the hotel have not stopped yet. On the contrary, there is a trend of increasing numbers.

People from the villages and camps around the town also came to participate in the celebrations, and crowds of people began to rush to the market square of the town.

Poppy was now oblivious to what was going on outside the window, sitting upright on the wooden chair, holding the snow-white Poro in his arms, and concentrating on teasing him.

Huo Jixing's eyes were looking straight at the golden hammer on Bobby's back.

His purpose of treating guests to dinner is very simple——

It all lies in this legendary golden hammer!

Huo Jixing's past life memories contained many descriptions of this holy hammer.

Rumor has it that this holy hammer was created for the "peerless hero of Demacia". Only this person has the ability to protect the unity and unity of Demacia.

And Poppy, the Perseverance of the Holy Hammer, adheres to the last wish of his former master Oren.

He swore an oath that he would find this hero and hand over the holy hammer to him.

Of course Huo Jixing would not think that he was Demacia's ultimate hero.

But there was an overwhelming sense of hunger coming from the data panel.

Silently telling the grade of this golden holy hammer, it is comparable to Darius's black cutter.

Even the inner rune magic is even more powerful!

"Do you want this hammer?" Bobby seemed to see Huo Jixing's hidden purpose.

"Only Demacia's peerless heroes can pick it up."

"No, I just want to observe." Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, clarifying his wishes.

"I personally prefer collecting strange equipment and runic items."

"Oh, that's okay."

Poppy nodded, took off the golden hammer from his back, and made a crisp sound with the shield hanging on his waist.

"Um?"

Huo Jixing took the golden hammer and raised his brows lightly.

He felt the terrifying weight of the golden holy hammer, which was almost as heavy as a heavy ballista.

Then he reached out and brushed the handle and head of the hammer, but there was no reaction at all, and no magic power fluctuation at all.

It looks like an ordinary hammer.

However, the hunger for the data panel is still there, but it is much weaker than before.

Perhaps sensing the inexplicable danger, Oren's Hammer glowed with golden light. When Huo Jixing wasn't paying attention, he broke away his arm and fell to the ground.

Poppy had a sharp eye and quick hands. He held the snow-white Poro in one hand and held the hammer handle in the other.

As your wrist turns, rotate the Hammer of Oron in a circle and land on your back.

"Hey, it seems to hate you?" Bobby looked a little confused.

She had found many people to hold the Hammer of Oron, but this was the first time she saw the hammer hate someone so much.

Huo Jixing laughed awkwardly and lowered his eyes to hide his emotions.

"I'm just slippery."

"Yeah?"

Poppy glanced at Huo Jixing, and for the sake of Snow White Poro, gave up and continued to ask.

"There is a circus performance over there in the market square. If you are bored, you can go and have a look." Aina finished clearing the table, looked at Huo Jixing and Bobby, and said with a smile.

"This is the circus that your Honor specially found for the Demon Slayer Ceremony."

"Demon Slayer? Have you heard her story too?"

Huo Jixing looked at Aina with a vague look.

"Of course, demon slayers fight off robbers and robbers, and protect surrounding villages and towns from monsters and outlaws."

Eina fiddled with her hair with her fingers, her eyes were gentle, she bent down to pick up the dinner plate and walked to the kitchen.

Watching Aina's back disappear into the kitchen, Huo Jixing turned to look at Bobby.

"Go?"

"I haven't seen the circus in a long time. Why don't you go and see it?" Poppy hugged the snow-white poro and rested his chin on one hand.

In order to fulfill Oren's last wish, she somewhat forgot when she had seen a circus performance.

How long ago was the last time?

Bobby no longer remembers.

Just when Huo Jixing and Bobby were preparing to set off.

Bobby stopped and looked at the corner of the hotel, where he saw a squatting numb man.

His eyes fell on the kitchen of the hotel, as if searching for Aegina's figure.

Poppy walked over and handed over some food he had brought.

Upon hearing the movement, the thin man moved his numb eyes to meet Poppy's purple eyes, and nodded imperceptibly to express his gratitude.

Then he continued to look blankly at the hotel kitchen.

Not far out of the hotel, Poppy hesitated a little and then spoke softly.

"His heart is already full of evil, but there is only a little good left."

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed and he realized something.

He thought that Eina never seemed to expel the insensitive man who looked like a beggar, and allowed the man to stay in the hotel.

At the same time, he couldn't help but admire the Yodels' sensitive senses.

This is something that [Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Pupils] cannot detect.

Unless the numb man's heart completely changes to evil, the cloud will change to dark gray.

Then he thought about himself.

With Poppy's sensitive senses, once he senses his malice, he might decisively swing Oron's Hammer.

Fortunately, I didn't have any other thoughts about Bobby.

This is also due to the yordle people's naturally friendly constitution and kindness.

In the bustling market square, to the left of the Demon Slayer statue.

A colorful circus tent rises, streamers fluttering in the breeze.

The arrival of the circus seems to bring more joy and surprises to the Demon Slayer celebration.

The simple ticket office in front of the cloak was already crowded with townspeople.

Most of them were children excitedly pulling adults and walking over happily.

Huo Jixing also took Bobby's left hand and squeezed in together.

From a distance, they look like adults and children, blending into the joyful atmosphere.

As he pushed forward, an invisible force filled the air, shaking away the townspeople along the way.

Huo Jixing and Bobby arrived at the ticket office smoothly. After purchasing the tickets, they entered the circus tent.

The tent was very lively and various exciting performances had already begun.

It includes a blazing fire ring performance, horse skills display, and a duel between a warrior and a wolf.

Huo Jixing was even seen performing as a fearless pioneer legionnaire fighting against the enemy.

Just as the atmosphere of the performance was getting heated, someone in the front row stood up.

Huo Jixing recognized him as the Demacia judge from Fenglian Town.

Wearing a brocade robe and a formal smile, this middle-aged man greeted the surrounding townspeople and prepared to leave the circus.

Everyone immediately stood up to see him off, and the circus also paused its performance to salute the judge.

It wasn't until the middle-aged judge left that the noise in the tent started again.

The laughter of adults and children filled the tent inside and outside.

There are rumors that the judge of Fenglian Town is a descendant of a noble family, which has enhanced the status and reputation of the town.

It also made the Demon Slayer celebration even more meaningful, and all the officials and townspeople who participated were honored.

"A descendant of a noble family?" Huo Jixing looked in the direction where the judge was leaving.

Compared to Judge Giselle whom I met in Forsbarrow.

The middle-aged man who just left seemed more like a Demacia judge. In this Demon Slayer celebration, his power was undoubtedly displayed.
