The Glory of Noxus

"Devil power?"

Huo Jixing slowly bent over and stared at the hideous wound.

Under the charming white collarbone, a strange scar about three feet long appeared on the snow-white skin.

Normal scars will be rolled with blood and blood, and there will be blood scab condensation on the edges.

But the strange scar in front of him was red in the center, but there was black energy lingering around the edge.

"No, that's not right!"

"This doesn't seem to be the power of the devil?"

Huo Jixing frowned. The black energy in front of him was very similar to the demonic power he had encountered before.

However, under his careful observation, he still found subtle differences.

"This is pure dark energy."

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered and he thought to himself.

Katarina's injury has been delayed for too long, and the dark energy on the scar is corroding the flesh and blood, and is eroding along the collarbone.

If it weren't for Katarina's suppression with her own power and the healing from the previous potion.

The current erosion of the scars will be even more terrifying.

Huo Jixing didn't say much. He slowly stretched out his fingers, and the green light filled the fingertips.

Catalina looked at Huo Jixing with a slightly struggling expression.

When Francis came over just now, he described Huo Jixing's healing ability to her.

It has the terrifying effect of raising dead human flesh and white bones.

And the reason why Catalina agreed to let Huo Jixing come over and give it a try.

Because the scars she suffered cannot be solved by ordinary healing abilities.

After assassinating Jarvan III, she could only rely on the secret family potion to suppress him, but it could not stop the erosion of dark energy.

"uh-huh!"

Catalina groaned, her expression getting paler.

Huo Jixing seemed not to have heard it and still moved his fingers close to the scar.

The black energy that was almost integrated with the scar seemed to feel threatened, and suddenly rose up to meet the green light at the fingertips.

Chichi! Chichi!

A subtle sound of burning was heard.

The black energy and the green light blended and disappeared, causing Catalina's body to tremble.

"Bear it!"

Huo Jixing didn't even raise his head, his eyes fixed on the black energy.

Compared to the endless Donghua Yimu Qi in his body.

These black energies are like roots without roots, gradually disappearing under the impact.

"interesting."

He looked at the black energy that had continued to collapse, thinking.

Human emotions and desires are the source of demonic power.

So how did the pure dark energy in front of me appear?

"uh-huh!"

When the dark energy was completely eliminated, Catalina couldn't bear it anymore and made a muffled sound.

She lowered her eyes and looked at Huo Jixing, who was staring closely at her collarbone and chest. A hint of crimson appeared on his cold face.

But seeing Huo Jixing's serious and clear eyes, she suppressed her inner emotions.

But the blush on her cheeks never faded.

"The last step!"

Huo Jixing spoke softly, stretched out his fingers towards the scarlet wound, and brushed it gently.

Just a moment.

Under Donghua Yimu's energy, the ferocious scars gradually healed without leaving any traces.

Huo Jixing stood up, looked at Catalina, and felt a little confused when he saw the crimson color on her cheeks.

Then he lowered his eyes, looked at the white greasy face, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Is it okay?"

When Catalina saw Huo Jixing getting up, she didn't even look at her wounds and asked in a firm tone.

"No problem, but you are running low on blood. Let Francis make some broth." Huo Jixing made some suggestions.

Hearing this, Catalina lowered her head and looked relieved when she saw the collarbone without any trace.

Then, she quickly put on her clothes and silver shoulder pads.

"Thank you for your help this time."

Catalina's tone was no longer as cold as before. She looked at Huo Jixing and said, "When I am completely recovered, I will leave with you."

She understood that Huo Jixing's secret mission was to help her leave the capital of Demacia.

"Is there anything else you haven't finished yet?"

Huo Jixing understood the meaning in Catalina's words. She was not ready to leave Xiongdu now.

"Someone is already eyeing the Leiser Guard Secret Base."

"To be precise, it should be 伱."

"I understand." Catalina moved her arms gently, her eyes cold.

"It won't take much time, I just need to confirm some things."

On the night when Jarvan III was assassinated, she was indeed prepared to assassinate him, but in Castle Dawn, more than one person wanted Jarvan III to die unexpectedly.

"Wait a few more days."

Catalina pulled out the dagger from her waist, and a biting cold light suddenly appeared, soaking in the air.

[Sawtooth Dagger]!

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows and recognized the name of the dagger in Catalina's hand.

This is recorded in the intelligence of the Reese Guard Corps.

The dagger in front of her was a rune weapon specially crafted for Catalina by General Du Cacao using his own resources.

"Then I won't disturb your rest."

Huo Jixing spoke softly, turned and left the room.

In the quiet room, Catalina stared at Huo Jixing's leaving figure, brushing her collarbone with her fingers, her eyes twinkling.

Huo Jixing's extraordinary power before was a star-like talent, mastering the power of fire.

But the healing ability displayed now is no less impressive and terrifying.

"General Darius is in very good hands."

As a high-ranking officer of the Reiser Garrison Corps, Catalina knew that Huo Jixing was only temporarily seconded to the Reiser Garrison Corps.

He still belonged to the Trifari Corps.

In the cave.

Huo Jixing just came out of the room and saw Francis who had been waiting outside.

"What's going on?" Francis hurried over.

"Don't worry, it's been handled." Huo Jixing didn't keep him in suspense and spoke directly.

"That's good, that's good."

Francis's frown loosened, and a smile appeared on his deep old face.

He lagged behind Huo Jixing by half a body, and spoke as he walked.

"We are going to give up this location and go to a new safe house."

"But before leaving, we need to deal with the people outside, which may trouble you."

Huo Jixing stopped and turned to look at Francis, looking surprised.

"Have they found this place?"

"Not yet." Francis shook his head slightly.

"But our secret sentry found that someone was searching nearby with a purpose."

"It means that they have almost locked onto this area, but they just can't find the specific location."

"I'll go take a look." Huo Jixing smiled and looked up at the cave, with red-gold light in his eyes.

"I've made some breakthroughs recently, so I can just test my strength."

"Hmm? Your Excellency knows their location?" Francis looked puzzled.

During this period of time, he witnessed Huo Jixing staying in the cave all the time, not leaving the house.

"I don't know." Huo Jixing shook his head.

"But I just need to know who is looking for someone in secret!"

Francis' heart turned cold when he heard this, and he instantly understood what Huo Jixing meant.

He is not an ordinary person, even so, he still feels a bone-chilling chill invading his soul.

"Okay, you arrange it, I'll go out later."

Huo Jixing patted Francis on the shoulder, and just as he was about to go back to the room, he seemed to think of something again, and turned around and said.

"When Lady Katarina leaves, tell her to wait for me."

"Don't go out by yourself and come back injured."

He didn't want Katarina to act secretly while he was out dealing with the troublesome guy, and come back injured, which would delay time.

"Oh, okay!"

Francis didn't react at this moment, and he didn't come to his senses until Huo Jixing returned to the room.

Is the relationship between Miss Katarina and Lord Huo Jixing so good?

"Squeak! Squeak!"

As soon as he entered the room, the snow-white Poro hiding under the bed ran over quickly.

It was like an arrow shot from a string, quickly crawling along the legs to the shoulders.

It licked Huo Jixing's cheek, very intimately.

However, Huo Jixing knew the character of this little guy very well, and he didn't spoil it. He lifted the plush body and stuffed it into his arms.

Then he took the Red Fire Blade from the wall and hung it around his waist.

The Temple of the Lightbringer is located in the center of the Demacia capital.

It is adjacent to the Castle of Dawn.

This is a majestic building made of silver-white marble.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the temple, covering the building complex with a layer of golden brilliance, as if bathing in the sacred light.

The dome of the temple emits a faint golden glow under the sunset glow, which flows like molten gold, shrouding the temple in a warm and mysterious halo.

This golden glow not only symbolizes purity and holiness, but is also a unique symbol of the Temple of the Lightbringer.

In front of the temple stands a solemn statue of a soldier.

He holds a shield and looks forward with a firm look, as if guarding this land at all times.

The front of this shield is engraved with folded wings, with smooth lines and exquisite details.

It is rumored that these wings are the symbol of the winged protector god, representing the sacred mission of guarding and defending the Kingdom of Demacia.

Inside the temple, in a quiet room with candlelight.

Kashina sits behind an ancient desk, with her mentor, Ms. Midir, in front of her.

She is a nun of the Temple of the Lightbringer and a healer of the Illuminator Cult.

"Teacher, can you confirm that the man has not left Xiongdu yet?" Kashina said respectfully.

Ms. Midil, the old woman with silver hair, looked at her disciple, and a touch of white light appeared in her deep eyes.

"He has not left yet."

"Calculate the time carefully. If there is no way to completely cure him, maybe the man is already terminally ill."

Hearing this, Kashina's eyes flickered, thinking of the news she had intercepted recently.

"I have arranged for people to search in the direction of the medicine. I think it won't take long to get results."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Ms. Midil sighed inwardly.

"If it is really someone from the Noxus Empire, then the tense border situation will inevitably cause disputes again."

"Teacher, isn't this what we want?" Kashina looked persistent and spoke in a concentrated voice.

"Only war can make the old nobles truly understand."

"Rune and magic are the most correct path for the current Valoran continent."

"But not now." Ms. Midir shook her head gently.

"Although the Noxus Empire has completely shrunk its defenses, the war power they have is far beyond what the current Demacia Kingdom can contend with."

"Most importantly, the attitude of the Duran family is very ambiguous."

"The Duran family!" Kashina's eyes condensed and looked at her teacher.

"Aren't they seeking the power of runes and magic to study the carving techniques of forbidden magic stones?"

"Haha, these old foxes, who knows what they really think."

Ms. Midier sighed softly, as if remembering something unpleasant.

"The carving skills of the Forbidden Demon Stone!"

"Even the temple cannot know the true core skills."

Kashina pondered for a while and mentioned again what she had mentioned earlier.

"Would you consider taking Miss Crown Guard as your disciple?"

"With the power of the Crown Guard family, the Durang family will not be an obstacle to us."

"Laxana Crownguard!"

Upon hearing Lux's name, Ms. Midir fell into silence and finally spoke.

"I can't be Miss Crown Guard's teacher."

"Why."

Kashina wanted to ask why, but seeing the seriousness on the teacher's face, she swallowed her next words.

"Follow the drug channel and trace it as soon as possible." Ms. Midier said quietly.

"Prince Jarvan is once again in charge of the Silver Council, and the supreme power of the Kingdom of Demacia returns to the Lightshield family."

"Perhaps your news will be a nice gift."

"Okay, teacher." Kashina stood up, saluted, and left slowly.

At dusk, Kashina walked out of the Lightbringer Temple and looked back at the soldier statue behind her.

She saw every detail of the carvings, which demonstrated the profound heritage of Demacian culture and the power of faith, and she could feel the warmth and power brought by faith.

"Light will guide the Kingdom of Demacia to the path of justice."

Outside the capital of Demacia, there are winding rivers surrounding it.

Garen, wearing white stone armor, stepped onto the dock and walked towards the waiting ship at the berth.

On the banks of the broad and gentle Iron Fork River, all members of the First Shield Formation of the Fearless Vanguard Legion marched in formation, forming a solemn scenery.

Galen walked at the front, followed by old friends such as Diadoru and Sebato.

Their steps were uniform and uniform, and they were fully armed with shining steel battle armor, with their sheathed swords slung at their waists and shields slung behind their backs.

Each man carried heavy leather backpacks, sleeping bags, water bladders, rations and military equipment.

Until we walked through the last section of the pier, we came to a ship named Fengyu Tianming.

This is a falcon ship that can be easily maneuvered in shallow rivers and open seas.

The slender shape of the boat is like a white blade in the waves. Thirty oarsmen's benches are placed across the pale hull, like ribs, with oars neatly stacked under the benches.

The bow of the ship looks like a white bird of prey——

The traditional shape of all falcon ships, the hunting raptor spreads its wings and soars forward.

Galen stood on the bow of the ship, holding the judgment in his hand tightly, looking at the capital behind him.

He should have left long ago, but his close friend Prince Jarvan is attending the Silver Council and is regaining control of the kingdom.

As the sword captain of the Fearless Vanguard Legion, he immediately went to see Prince Jiawen.

"Captain Sword, it's time for us to set off!" Diadoru walked by, his sharp eyes looking across the night sky towards Xiongdu.

They shouldn't have left Xiongdu at this time.

But it was Grand Marshal Tyana Crownguard who issued the order, and everyone must follow it.

"Vanguard!" Galen took a deep breath, turned around and shouted.

"Paddle out!"

Every soldier of the Dauntless Vanguard Legion leaned forward uniformly, with the paddle completely submerged in the water.

"Pull!" Galen's voice was loud.

The Wind and Rain Tianming shot out like a spear, splitting the waves of the Iron Fork River.
