The Glory of Noxus

"Aria of Perseverance!"

After Sona's performance, a woman in a gorgeous dress came on stage and announced the name of the piece to be played.

Huo Jixing sat in a corner, listening to the whispers around him, and instantly understood the identity of the woman in a gorgeous dress in front of him.

Lestara Bouvier.

The widow of the Bouvier family, Sona's adoptive mother.

"The next piece to be performed is the Hymn of Courage." Lestara spoke softly.

"To comfort the brave soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia who died at the Gate of Sorrow, and the many fearless officers."

Hearing Lestara's words, the atmosphere in the concert hall turned solemn.

Everyone thought of the failure of the Kingdom of Demacia in the war at the Gate of Sorrow, and their faces were sad.

In the battle with the Noxian Empire, the Fearless Vanguard Corps led by Lord Barrett was hit by the magical power of Noxus at the Gate of Sorrow.

Not only did Lord Barrett die on the front line.

The Fearless Vanguard Corps and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia on the front line also suffered heavy losses.

The strings were plucked.

The music sounded again in the Golden Concert Hall.

Sona lowered her eyes and immersed herself in the world she created. Her slender and graceful fingers danced on the strings like flowing clouds and water.

This time the melody was full of power and solemnity, and the rhythm of the strings was fast and passionate.

Huo Jixing nodded gently and immersed himself in the music.

His closed eyes were full of admiration, and he had to admire Sona's superb piano skills.

This heroic hymn tells of the indomitable and fearless spirit.

It vaguely reminds people of the stories of the heroes of Demacia, and their hearts are surging.

Huo Jixing opened his eyes and looked at Sona under the red velvet curtain. She seemed like a lady in a painting, with a long neck, a white face, and eyes like stars.

This concert was worth it.

He also understood why Sona's concert was so highly praised.

Not only was the performance level top-notch, but it also brought extraordinary magical effects.

Unfortunately, he is a Noxian.

He is the winner of the Sorrow Gate War, and has only normal musical feelings for the Heroic Hymn.

After the song ended.

Sona sat behind Xihua, and the light in her blue eyes gradually disappeared.

Lestara walked up and communicated with Sona in sign language.

Sona is a great pianist, but she is a mute.

Therefore, the Bouvier family invented a set of sign language specifically for Sona, so that she can communicate smoothly with her new family and friends.

After getting the answer, Lestara turned around, faced the audience, and spoke softly.

"Everyone, today's concert ends here. Thank you for your listening and support."

As her words fell, the lights in the concert hall gradually dimmed. Sona, under the spotlight, picked up Xihua, bowed and left.

The audience began to stand up and leave, and applause and praise echoed in the concert hall.

They all expressed their admiration and nostalgia for the concert, and felt honored to be able to attend such a wonderful musical feast.

Huo Jixing also ended his contemplation, stood up and prepared to leave.

When he left, he deliberately looked in the direction of Lux and saw Lux and Kashina walking backstage.

Thinking of the relationship between Kashina and Sona, Huo Jixing understood.

Then he followed the crowd and slowly left the Golden Concert Hall.

On the way out, Sona's performance still echoed in Huo Jixing's mind.

In addition, he still remembered the abnormal movement of Donghua Yimu Qi in his body.

This is why he left so quickly.

He needed to return to the Raiser Guard Secret House, enter the data panel, and explore the changes in Qinglong's Residence.

Golden Concert Hall, backstage attic.

Sona held Hua in her arms, stood behind the white jade handrail, and looked at the audience leaving under the night.

In the concert performance, she felt different magical energies from her music and knew that there were many extraordinary people in the audience.

But she was surprised to find that.

Among all the extraordinary people, none of them was an ordinary citizen.

Most of them are nobles, or descendants of nobles.

There are also a small number of people who are more or less related to nobles.

Sona lowered her eyes and looked at the Hua in her arms. The instrument that accompanied her was shining.

Through the faint magic fluctuations.

She sensed that there were many people with rune items under the Golden Concert Hall.

"Are they demon hunters?" Sona whispered softly.

After the assassination of King Jarvan III, the Demon Hunter Corps came to power.

There are many innocent citizens in Xiongdu who were persecuted for accidentally contacting magic and were accused of colluding with magic.

Even the Buwell family was monitored by the Demon Hunter Corps.

They suspected that Sona, the heir of the Buwell family, had been exposed to magic or mastered magic.

But Sona could not clear herself of the crime.

Because this is the fact.

The instrument Hua in her arms has been confirmed to be a legendary miraculous ancient relic under the curious evidence of her mother Lestara.

The origin can be traced back to thousands of years before the establishment of Demacia, and it is extremely rare in history today.

Sona also possesses runes and magical powers because of her beauty.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

A crisp knock on the door brought Sona back to her thoughts.

Turning around, she saw her mother Lestara and Kashina walking in together, followed by a girl with long golden hair.

Sona's eyes lit up.

It was Miss Crownguard, Laxana.

Then she walked over with Hua in her arms and knelt down to salute.

"Ms. Sona, I have heard of your name for a long time."

Lacus took Sona's arm and laughed softly, full of affinity.

Kasina beside her also nodded gently to Sona, with love in her eyes.

Although her relationship with Sona has been drifting apart due to many things recently.

But they have lived together in the Buwell family for many years.

If it weren't for joining the Illuminator and being unable to get married and have children, Kasina would still have the right to inherit the Buwell family.

Sona stood up and communicated with her mother Lestara in sign language, asking her to help convey the message to Lacus.

Under the sign language communication.

Lestara nodded frequently, and then talked softly with Lacus.

"The Buwell family wants to donate books and build the Buwell Library to provide citizens of Xiongdu with the opportunity to read books?"

"This is a good thing, is there a problem?" Lacus asked doubtfully.

"The interference of the Demon Seekers here is the order of Lord Eldred." Lestara looked worried.

"Uncle Eldred?" Lux frowned.

She had met her uncle several times and he had given her gifts. She had a good impression of him.

Lux looked to the side and saw Kashina nodded slightly, thinking for a while.

The Bouvier family is a prominent noble in the Demacia capital. The previous owner was Lord Barrett.

He is a close friend of Jarvan III.

He is also a high-ranking officer of the Fearless Vanguard.

If Lord Barrett was still there, the Demon Seekers would definitely not take the initiative to provoke the Bouvier family.

But now with the death of Lord Barrett, Kashina is determined to become an Illuminati Knight, and Sona, as an adopted daughter, has become the next heir of the Bouvier family.

All these changes have made many people in the capital covet the interests of the Bouvier family.

"I can try to communicate with Uncle Eldred, but there is no guarantee." Lux finally made a promise.

"Thank you, Miss Crown Guard."

Lestara knelt and saluted, followed by Sona.

Seeing this, Lux stepped forward quickly and held up Lestara's arms, indicating that it was not necessary.

After all, Lestara was her elder and the wife of Lord Barrett.

Later, Lux talked with Lestara and Sona for a while and left the Golden Concert Hall.

Crown Guard Castle in the center of Xiongdu.

Kashina watched Lux's back, disappeared in the castle, and returned to the carriage.

This is a very ordinary carriage, and the wooden structure gives people a simple feeling.

There are not too many gorgeous decorations on the body, which looks quite low-key.

However, if you look closely, you can see two obvious emblems on both sides of the carriage.

They are the emblems of the Crown Guard Family and the Temple of the Messenger of Light.

The power represented by the two can make it unimpeded in Xiongdu, and no one dares to intercept it.

As soon as Kashina sat down, the nun in a white robe beside her handed her a letter with a white mark.

"Hmm? There is news of frequent drug transactions?"

Kasina frowned and carefully read the information on the letter.

"My guess is right. The murderer who assassinated Jarvan III is still in Xiongdu and has not left yet."

"And he is seriously injured!"

Kasina's thoughts surged, and a white light shone on her fingertips, like a flame, burning the letter.

"Continue to arrange people to watch, and if there is any sign of another transaction, track it immediately."

"Okay." The nun nodded and replied.

"Should we notify the Demon Hunter Corps? Recently, the Demon Hunters have also been secretly looking for relevant clues in Xiongdu."

Kasina's eyes flickered and she shook her head to refuse.

"Not for the time being, let our knights pay attention."

The nun said she understood and tapped the car body lightly.

Then, the carriage started and drove towards the direction of Bouville Castle.

Although Kasina chose to become an illuminator and gave up inheriting the Bouville family.

But she still has her own room in the castle.

After a cup of tea.

The carriage entered Bouville Castle.

Kashina got off the carriage and returned to the room.

Under the bright candlelight, she sat on the soft bed, closed her eyes, and tried to enter a meditative state.

But after a moment, Kashina gave up and opened her amber eyes.

"Father!"

She thought of her father Barrett Bouvier again, and the smile he left before he left.

"Noxus Empire!"

Kashina gritted her teeth and said, her eyes full of hatred, and she would never forget the scene of her father's burial.

"I hope there is no trace of your existence in the assassination of His Majesty the King."

In the slum area of ​​Xiongdu, in a quiet cave.

Huo Jixing had just returned and saw Francis waiting.

"Is there anything?"

"Nothing, just want to ask the adults, how is this concert?" Francis asked softly, with curiosity on his deep face.

"Haven't you been there?" Huo Jixing looked curious.

As the head of the Reiser Guard Secret Office in Demacia Xiongdu, Francis has been rooted in Xiongdu for a long time.

"Indeed, there is none." Francis looked distressed.

"Ms. Sona's concert is so popular that there are very few invitations to her."

"And this concert is Miss Sona's first concert after returning to the capital of Demacia."

"Okay."

Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders after hearing this, it seems that he is loved by many people.

"I can only say that Miss Sona's concert hall is definitely worth listening to."

"So, the commander's evaluation is correct." Francis looked determined, as if he was determined to win the next Sona concert.

"Has the commander ever heard it?" Huo Jixing said.

The commander Francis mentioned was only one person, Jericho Swain.

"Yes, the commander once commented on Sona's musical performance." Francis replied.

"He said Sona is the secret treasure of Ionia, saying that her melody makes the soul move, and her silence makes the body split."

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but admire Swain's literary talent.

Why didn't he make such a brilliant evaluation or poem at that time.

After a brief exchange with Francis.

Huo Jixing returned to his room and saw that the snow-white Poro had not woken up yet, sitting on the edge of the bed.

His consciousness immediately sank into the data panel.

"There is no change in my talent. Hmm. Only the star of the horn is hanging in the Azure Dragon Star Map."

Huo Jixing was puzzled.

Then he entered the state of [Introspection] and found that the energy of Donghua Yimu was indeed more active than usual.

And he noticed that his spirit was also more solid.

"Is it affected by the resolute aria and heroic hymn played by Sona?"

Huo Jixing thought about it, and recalled that the harp in Sona's hand seemed to be an ancient relic.

"Since my own state is so good, I will light up the stars tonight."

He wanted to leave the Demacia capital and light up the stars of the Azure Dragon Star Map.

After all, the city under his feet was built on the foundation of the forbidden magic stone, and he was afraid of being affected.

But after listening to Sona's concert, Huo Jixing decided that it would be better to do it today than to wait for a day.

His consciousness sank into the Azure Dragon Star Map and stepped into the familiar starry sky world again.

The mysterious and ancient Azure Dragon Seven Stars hang in the universe.

The brilliant stars, like dragon scales, are lined up one after another, exuding a boundless breath.

Only the horns of the Azure Dragon, which are like deer, are emitting a turquoise glow.

Huo Jixing moved his eyes and looked at the dim stars behind the horns.

"The star of Kangsu!"

Kangsu is the second of the seven Azure Dragons, located at the neck of the Azure Dragon, and is the essence of the Azure Dragon.

The dragon neck is guarded by the dragon horns, and the change drives the whole body.

"Light up Kangsu!"

Huo Jixing's consciousness settled, and the essence on the data panel turned into surging blue starlight, pouring into the star of Kangsu.

Suddenly.

The star of Kangsu glowed with a rich turquoise glow, like the sun, illuminating the boundless starry sky.

The next moment!

The seven Azure Dragons echoed each other from afar, and the dreamlike glow seemed to control the changes between heaven and earth.

Kangsu is the master of strong winds and hundreds of medicines.

"Wind? Baiyao?" Huo Jixing's eyes lit up.

Riding on clouds and mist, calling the wind and rain, these were the abilities of Qinglong.

But Baiyao's ability was a little incomprehensible to him.

"Wait, Donghua Yimu Qi, does this mean to replace Baiyao and heal the body?"

Huo Jixing understood and felt that his body floating in the starry sky was being transformed by Donghua Yimu Qi.

"There are still 490 points of essence."

He looked at the data panel, and the remaining essence could continue to light up a constellation.

"Di Constellation Star!"
