The Glory of Noxus

"Hey, where did you pick up a child?"

When Huo Jixing returned to the hotel, a familiar caravan guard saw Bobby beside him and joked.

Yordles basically live in Bandle City, rarely come out, and are relatively mysterious.

Therefore, most ordinary people on the Valoran continent have never seen a Yodel in their lives.

Not to mention knowing the existence of Yodels.

After hearing this, Bobby didn't care and concentrated on teasing the snow-white Poro in her arms.

Maybe she has long been accustomed to the misunderstandings of ordinary people.

"This is my new friend."

Huo Jixing patted the shoulder of the caravan guard and suppressed his subsequent jokes.

Seeing Huo Jixing's seriousness, the caravan guard laughed dryly and quickly walked away.

The circus performance just ended.

Huo Jixing took Bobby back to the hotel, but he felt that something was wrong in his heart.

It seemed that some performance was missing.

But he couldn't remember it.

Huo Jixing shook his head and suppressed his inner thoughts. He found the innkeeper Aina, opened a room next to his own, and arranged for Poppy to live in it.

When the two separated, he wanted to take the snow-white Poro back.

But he didn't expect that this guy would stay in Poppy's arms, unwilling to leave, and squeaked at him.

This made Huo Jixing completely speechless.

After Lux, Poppy also became one of its "masters".

After arranging everything, Huo Jixing returned to his room.

He sat quietly by the bed thinking about everything that happened during the day.

The circus performance, Poppy's arrival, and the power of the Demacia judge.

All this made him feel a little unusual.

However, Huo Jixing knew that he would not stay here for long. The Piltover caravan would set off for the Demacia capital in the morning of the day after tomorrow.

Night fell on the town.

The prosperity and noise of the day disappeared, leaving only tranquility and peace.

The bright moonlight was like flowing water, covering the town with a mysterious silver veil.

Aegina sat in the room, admiring the charming face in the bronze mirror, her eyes flickering.

Then she stood up and walked to the window, gently opened the window, looked at the area where the Piltover caravan was located, and a touch of red light appeared in her eyes.

During the afternoon celebration.

Aegina secretly communicated with the shield captain Levi and inquired about the news of the caravan.

It was a very ordinary caravan, and the goods carried were also specialties of Piltover.

For example, the glass bronze mirror in front of her had very good craftsmanship and was exquisite and clear.

Aegina herself had also tried the Piltover caravan, and there were no demons, nor had she seen rune items.

But she was still a little uneasy in her heart.

After thinking for a while, Aegina closed the window and looked at Huo Jixing's room. The candlelight was extinguished and it was dark.

She had already had in-depth exchanges with the caravan leader and guards, and found no problems.

As for this handsome man, Aegina had never tried to communicate with him.

"Well, he is unique and very rich."

"He has a good figure, maybe after trying him out, he can be considered a new prey."

Aegina looked at herself in the bronze mirror, smiled softly, and her seductive lips glowed red.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Light footsteps sounded on the second floor of the hotel.

Aegina, wearing a red dress and holding an iron oil lamp, walked along the dim corridor.

After a while.

Aegina looked at the room in front of her, stretched out her white jade left hand, and knocked familiarly.

Dongdong! Dongdong!

Although the knocking sound was very small, it was unusually clear in the quiet environment.

Surprisingly, such a movement did not attract any attention in the hotel.

"Are you asleep so early?"

Seeing no response in the room, Aegina looked puzzled and muttered in her heart.

She could confirm that Huo Jixing had returned to the room.

Knock! Knock!

The knock on the door sounded again.

The sound was weak, but it revealed a touch of firmness and urgency.

Just when Aina was getting impatient.

The door opened from the inside, and Huo Jixing appeared in front of her in neat clothes with a gentle face.

"Mrs. Aina, is there anything urgent?"

Hearing this, Aina restrained her impatience on her face, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and moved her steps.

"I remember you were looking for strong liquor in the afternoon. I happened to store a few bottles. Do you want to drink together?"

In the dark corridor, the light of the iron oil lamp reflected on Aina's charming face, which looked particularly attractive.

"Thank you for your kindness, but it's late at night and it's not easy to drink." Huo Jixing shook his head and refused.

When Aina knocked on the door for the first time, he had already woken up from his meditation state.

The reason why he ignored her was that Huo Jixing was just a passer-by in Fenglian Town and didn't want to get involved in anything.

But Aina seemed to have set her eyes on him and did not leave.

"What about me?" Aina came closer.

The red shoulder straps passed through her white skin, which was like jade, and towering mountains could be seen faintly.

"The price is very cheap."

Huo Jixing looked surprised, and his black eyes swept across Aina's body.

It must be said that Aina is indeed a charming beauty, like a ripe peach.

The dim yellow lamp in her hand perfectly reflects her seductive temperament and plump charm.

Unfortunately, he doesn't like buses.

"Don't you like it?" Aina seemed to sense Huo Jixing's inner thoughts and opened her red lips slightly.

"I'll make you like it."

Aina's bright eyes met Huo Jixing's, and a flash of pink filled the dark corridor.

"Charm?"

Huo Jixing's mind suddenly moved. Just as he was thinking about all the actions, he realized something.

Pretending to be affected by the charm, he slowly walked towards Eina.

Crunch!

The sound of the door opening came from the next room, breaking the atmosphere of the corridor.

Poppy walked out just in time, carrying the golden holy hammer on his back.

They met Huo Jixing and Aina in the dark corridor, and the atmosphere was a little silent for a while.

Finally, Eina looked deeply at Poppy, laughed softly, and lifted the red shoulder strap calmly.

Then she took the iron oil lamp and walked away.

The swaying steps stirred up waves and disappeared into the night.

Huo Jixing also woke up at the right time.

When Eina turned to leave, he keenly saw a hint of emotion hidden in the corners of her charming eyes.

Not human-like.

Like the dissatisfaction and murderous intention after the hunting operation was disturbed.

Although Aina hid it well, Huo Jixing still caught this subtle expression.

"Suffering from the influence of magic?"

Huo Jixing stared at the direction where Aina disappeared, murmuring in his heart.

"It seems like the Poro is going back to your room?" Poppy came over with a snow-white Poro in his arms, looking a little troubled.

Snow White Poro was fine in the room, but just now, he suddenly became noisy.

"fine."

Huo Jixing shook his head gently at Bobby, and at the same time roughly picked up the snow-white Poro.

This little guy obviously had too much fun during the day and stayed in Bobby's arms and refused to leave.

Now at night, it seemed to think of its real master again and wanted to struggle back to Huo Jixing.

Poppy watched the interaction between Huo Jixing and Snow White Poro, with a hint of envy in his purple eyes.

After she left Oren, she never met anyone with whom she could talk and play.

"Good night!"

Huo Jixing carried the snow-white poro, said hello to Poppy, and returned to the room.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

As if sensing Huo Jixing's inner anger, Snow White Poro shook his head and let out a pitiful cry.

Huo Jixing didn't care and threw the snow-white Poro directly into the corner of the room.

Then he sat upright on the bed and performed meditation training.

In any case, only by maintaining your best condition can you cope with the challenges and dangers you may encounter next.

Of course, Huo Jixing himself definitely didn't want to encounter any unexpected situations.

Spiritual silence.

Huo Jixing quickly entered the state of [Inside View of Oneself].

During the process of deep meditation, he could clearly feel the flow of breath and energy around him.

You can also feel the changes in these breaths and energy.

It is the star spirit Suzaku and the star spirit Qinglong, who are absorbing the starlight that wanders between the sky and the earth.

"Um?"

While Huo Jixing was meditating, he noticed something abnormal.

Compared with usual, a small part of the power of the stars that should have gathered around the body tonight was straying away.

Huo Jixing opened his eyes and looked around.

I don't know when he got up, but the snow-white Poro was lying next to him, his snow-white fur stained with red gold and cyan light.

"Is this absorbing the power of my own star spirit?"

Huo Jixing was thoughtful and thought about why Snow White Poro was so sleepy during the day.

It turns out that he is digesting his own star spirit power.

"interesting."

Huo Jixing whispered softly and looked at the lying little guy, his pupils filled with red-golden light.

"A snow-white Poro with the power of a star spirit, is he still a Poro?"

Within the field of vision, the clouds of Poro also changed slightly, with red gold and cyan glow.

He suddenly remembered the different Poros in his past life memories.

Smart Poro, Bold Poro, Ancestral Poro, Magnificent Poro, and Destiny Poro to name a few.

Is this their inherent evolutionary ability?

Late at night, the stars dimmed.

In the hotel room, Huo Jixing opened his eyes again, stood up and came to the window.

"It seems like everything is coming together?"

Under the hazy night, he saw the middle-aged judge of Fenglian Town.

This descendant of a noble family, wearing brocade clothes and not covering his face, entered the hotel in a grand manner.

"Are you so horny?"

Huo Jixing noticed that the middle-aged judge was very familiar with the layout of the hotel and knocked directly on the wooden door of the room where Aina was located.

A bright oil lamp was lit, illuminating the red living room.

Eina was looking into the glazed bronze mirror, carefully looking at her beautiful face, which was like a perfect work of art that had been carefully carved.

"A plaything without any sense of proportion."

Eina seemed to smell something and muttered.

When she turned sideways, she saw the middle-aged judge who had opened the door and walked in. His once majestic and solemn face was already full of hungry desire.

Just a moment.

The lights in the red living room swayed, and the white hills undulated.

The wooden bed covered with soft satin made a squeaking sound, shaking constantly as if it was about to fall apart.

As the tide stopped, heavy breathing sounded.

"I saw him, in the hotel." The middle-aged judge was shirtless and lying on the bed.

"Oh, you are talking about him, you can't drive him away." Eina moved her hair, a cold look appeared in her soft eyes.

"I can help you, just like the devil-infected person, let him go to the wild and fend for himself."

The middle-aged judge looked at Aina, lowered his eyelids, and could not see the emotion in his eyes.

"This way, there is no need to find an excuse of being sick to hide his identity."

"Hehe." Aina covered her mouth and chuckled, hugging the middle-aged judge's neck with her white arms.

"Then our relationship will be exposed soon."

"Aren't you afraid of being affected?"

The middle-aged judge raised his eyes and stared at Aina, as if he was intoxicated by the face that looked like a work of art.

"Influence? Who dares to talk about me in Fenglian Town?"

"As long as you stop contacting other people, I can even take you back to the judge's mansion."

"How about the title of Judge's Wife?"

"But he is my husband after all, and we used to love each other so much."

Aina buried her head in the middle-aged judge's neck, and in the invisible corner, the scarlet light of her fingertips lit up.

As the fingertips cut through the skin, the scarlet light was injected into the middle-aged judge's body along the blood vessels.

"Do it again?"

"Huhu, of course."

The panting sounded again.

The middle-aged judge's face flushed, and he crossed the mountains and rivers with all his strength and shook the wooden bed.

On his back, where he couldn't see, scarlet rays of light extended like a spider web, weaving and wrapping the two of them.

"Just a plaything, why do you always want to replace him?"

Eina curled up on the bed, looking at the middle-aged judge's staggering back, the scarlet color in her eyes faded, and her lips were tender and juicy.

"You are just my condiments."

"It's an appetizer before the feast."

The middle-aged judge walked along the corridor of the hotel in a brocade robe.

Pah!

In the corner of the main entrance, he saw the numb man hiding in the shadows with his knees hugged. He couldn't hold back his inner emotions anymore, so he walked over and kicked him.

"Did you hear the noise?"

"You shouldn't stay here, and she doesn't belong to you anymore."

The numb man seemed to be deaf, letting the middle-aged judge scold him, shrugging his head, and didn't say a word.

"Pah!"

The middle-aged judge spit and left triumphantly.

But before leaving, he stood there and looked at Aegina's room for a long time.

Second floor room.

Huo Jixing retracted his extended spirit, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Is that guy Aegina's husband?"

He recalled the face of the numb man and compared it with Aegina. It was completely impossible to tell that they were husband and wife.

But he had heard the conversation between the middle-aged judge and Aegina.

And the insulting gesture of the middle-aged judge before leaving also revealed the identity of the numb man.

Huo Jixing knew in his heart that Fenglian Town, which seemed small, must have many secrets in secret.

He also believed that the troublesome man would be related to these secrets.

But he didn't want to get involved, he just wanted to leave quietly.

However, Huo Jixing used the power of the middle-aged judge and the situation of the Demacia villages and towns he saw along the way.

He truly experienced the impact of the isolationism implemented by the Kingdom of Demacia on all Demacians!

Isolationism is an alternative foreign policy.

It usually consists of two policies: defense and economy.

In terms of military defense, isolationism adopts the principle of non-interference, that is, it does not actively get involved in any external military conflict except for wars of self-defense;

In terms of economy and culture, legislation is used to limit trade and cultural exchanges with foreign countries to the greatest extent.

Isolationism has an impact on Demacia in all aspects.

Externally, it is military defense and economic culture, and internally, it is class solidification.

In terms of military defense.

Although the Kingdom of Demacia has fought many battles, big and small, with the Noxian Empire and Freljord, they are almost all self-defense wars.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Demacia has always been guarding its own piece of land.

In terms of economy and culture.

The location of the Kingdom of Demacia is very good, rich and vast.

It does not need too much foreign trade, and can also achieve "self-sufficiency", with fertile land and sufficient food.

Combining the two, the isolationism of the Kingdom of Demacia is prevalent, which is much more serious than any force on the Valoran continent.

Compared with the vast territory of the Noxian Empire, the Kingdom of Demacia guards its own territory alone.

The two respectively show isolationism and expansionism to the fullest.

The prevalence of isolationism has led to the solidification of classes within the Kingdom of Demacia, which has become quite serious.

The source of everything points to Demacia's national policy -

Banned magic!

Because runes and magic are the most effective ways to break the class in the Valoran continent.

"The tragedy of magic."

Huo Jixing recalled the information about Silas.

[As a mage, and born in a poor family in Demacia, Silas of Biangou Town can almost be said to have ended his life at the beginning. ]

Very simple intelligence information, but between the lines, tells the tragedy of the Kingdom of Demacia.

Under isolationism, the rights of the nobles are only passed on among the bloodline.

The noble forces such as the Light Shield Family, the Crown Guard Family, the Durand Family, the Laurent Family, etc. control all the rights and channels of advancement in the Kingdom of Demacia.

And civilians are always just civilians.

The performance of the middle-aged judge has fully explained everything.

He is just a descendant of the nobility, and his attitude towards the townspeople can be said to be quite casual and he doesn't care at all.

"If I had traveled to the Kingdom of Demacia from the beginning, would I be the same as Silas?"

This thought suddenly popped up in Huo Jixing's mind, and then he smiled and suppressed it.
