The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 224: Secret of the Assassination: The Colossus of Justice

Dawn falls, and the dark night gradually leaves.

The sky begins to turn pale.

The silent Misilver City regains its vitality and vigor, and the streets begin to see the bustling Demacians.

They either hurry to work, or look forward to the new dawn.

The unique hard work, self-discipline and diligence of the Demacians are fully demonstrated at this moment.

Huo Jixing got up early, leaned against the window sill, and looked at the Demacians on the street with a sparse expression.

Hearing the movement outside the door, he suppressed his inner emotions and walked out of the room, just in time to see Dawn holding a plate in his hand.

"Good morning!"

Huo Jixing walked over, picked up the fragrant white bread, and ate it.

Before he finished eating, Katarina also walked out of the room, holding a snow-white Poro in her arms, with long crimson hair and snow-white hair intertwined, which was very charming.

Huo Jixing looked at the two people in front of him, thinking of what he saw last night, his expression was firm, and he spoke in a serious voice.

"Dawn, make arrangements. Katarina and I need to leave Misilver City in advance."

"When?"

Dawn looked over when he heard the voice, and his deep face was first puzzled, and then turned into determination.

"An hour later." Huo Jixing swallowed the venison in his hand and looked at Katarina.

"Wait and prepare. We will continue to move north, cross the border mountains, and enter the Freljord area."

Katarina drank a sip of vegetable soup and nodded gently, but there was a trace of worry in her eyes.

"How is your injury?"

"It's not serious. You can leave Misilver City." Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders and spoke with a smile.

Now he is wearing a black gown, covering the wound on his abdomen, and there is no abnormality.

"Is there anything unexpected?"

Katarina thought that the conversation with Huo Jixing yesterday was normal, and she had no intention of leaving Misilver City in advance.

Huo Jixing nodded. With Katarina's keen perception, it was definitely impossible to hide the past.

Then he whispered what he had seen and heard last night.

"Lux secretly returned to Mithril City. I suspect our whereabouts may have been exposed."

"Luxana Crownguard!"

Hearing Lux's name, Katarina's eyes flickered and she was thinking.

Then she immediately agreed to Huo Jixing's proposal and prepared to leave Mithril City and take a detour to Freljord.

In a quiet hotel.

Under Dawn's arrangement, everything was going in an orderly manner. The supplies that Huo Jixing and Katarina needed along the way were almost ready.

"After we leave, pay attention to the movements of Mithril City."

Huo Jixing looked at Mithril City, which was full of prosperity and bustle, and instructed Dawn beside him.

"If there is any abnormal movement, abandon the hotel immediately, move to a new safe point, and enter a hidden state."

"Until it is completely safe, contact the nearby Raiser Guard Secret Station."

"Okay." Dawn replied respectfully, looking at Katarina who was fiddling with the snow-white Poro in her arms without leaving a trace.

"One day, I hope to meet Lord Huo Jixing in the Noxus Empire."

"There will be a chance." Huo Jixing looked at Dawn's old face and spoke softly.

Raiser Guard Corps.

It is the ace corps directly under Swain, and it is also one of the power institutions under the Trifari Council.

Each Raiser Guard Secret Station distributed in the Valoran continent has contributed everything to help the Noxus Empire return to its former glory.

Autumn season.

The cold wind blows across the hills and fields, bringing a bit of bleakness and loneliness, and golden fallen leaves cover both sides of the road.

Huo Jixing and Katarina dressed up and followed the Demacia caravan that had been arranged long ago, leaving Misilver City safely.

The caravan's carriage slowly moved forward on the path with fallen leaves. The sound of horse hooves was light and rhythmic, intertwined with the gentle hum of the autumn wind, as if telling the sadness of parting.

Huo Jixing looked back at Misilver City standing on the White Rock Highlands behind him, with a lot of thoughts.

This time he left, he didn't know when he would return to Misilver City.

After all, this is the territory of Demacia, a city guarded by the Crown Guard family.

He has many deep memories here.

"Demacia!"

Huo Jixing put away his scattered thoughts and sat side by side with Katarina in the carriage.

The caravan went farther and farther, leaving only the falling autumn leaves and the backs in the distance.

Time passed slowly and hurriedly.

Around noon, the caravan ahead prepared to choose an open place to rest.

Dada! Dada! Dada!

On the wide straight road, the sound of horse hooves sounded like a sudden rain, and dust flew.

The caravan leader looked back and saw a team of fully armed knights wearing armor, riding silver-armored war horses approaching quickly.

Before he could react, the knight team in front of him immediately separated three knights and drove their war horses to approach the caravan.

"According to the order of Miss Crown Guard, we are conducting a routine inspection of the caravan."

The knight in the front dismounted, took out a piece of letter paper with the Crown Guard badge from his arms, and placed it in front of the caravan leader.

"Okay."

The caravan leader who had just walked over saw the Crown Guard badge and immediately said that there was no problem.

Then he signaled his guards and servants to open the goods on the carriage.

Three fully armed knights walked over, and their eyes behind the visors were full of vigilance.

They not only searched the goods, but also examined the appearance and temperament of each person in the caravan one by one.

While they were conducting a detailed search.

The Demacia Knights team behind them did not wait for them and continued to gallop along the business road before disappearing from sight.

Faintly, they seemed to be looking for something or traces of someone.

Kingdom of Demacia, Northern Mountains.

In the fall of autumn, the endless forest seems to be covered with a layer of orange, and the bleak autumn wind blows gently, bringing up the fallen leaves.

Huo Jixing stood on the hill and looked at the magnificent scene in front of him.

At the end of the forest, jagged mountains stretch endlessly, interspersed with sheer cliffs and bottomless chasms.

"Let's go!"

Huo Jixing let out a breath and looked at Catalina beside him.

After leaving the caravan halfway, they immediately headed north and entered this familiar mountain range.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The snow-white Poro lying on Katarina's shoulder also made a sound at the right time.

Because he was riding in a caravan carriage, Huo Jixing wanted to hide the little guy and wrap it in cotton cloth so that it wouldn't make any sound.

The little guy who was now liberated started to let himself go, shaking his head.

Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders, and after looking at each other casually with Catalina, he looked away and walked toward the mountains.

At the same time, Huo Jixing evoked Nanli's fire, filling his eyes.

He will not forget that there are many vanguard sentries of the Kingdom of Demacia lurking in this boundless northern mountain range.

Just because a mountain range is quiet now doesn't mean it's safe.

"What is the secret about Lux you are talking about?"

On the way, Huo Jixing saw that the atmosphere was a little quiet. He looked at Catalina beside him and asked.

After hearing this, Catalina gathered her crimson hair from her forehead, and an invisible smile appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"It has something to do with Silas, the traitor in the eyes of Demacians." Katarina's eyes flickered and she answered softly.

"Silas?" Huo Jixing paused and continued to listen.

"According to information from the Leiser Guard Secret Office, this notorious demon-stained person was once imprisoned in the prison of Xiongdu."

"Miss Crown Guard has had close contact with Silas for some unknown reason."

"But this lovely Miss Crown Guard underestimated the influence of the Crown Guard family in the capital, and the connection between them was quickly discovered."

"Silas, who was still on trial, was involuntarily sentenced to hanging and sent to the execution ground on the same day."

Catalina seemed to think of the interesting scene at that time, and the smile on her face was undisguised.

"But an accident happened. Silas actually opened the magic stone shackles on the execution ground, causing chaos in the capital."

"The Fearless Vanguard Legion, the Demon Seeker Legion, and even the palace guards began to round up Salas in the capital."

"It was also at that time that I saw the weakest moment of Dawn Castle's defense." Catalina's eyes grew colder, recalling the chaos in the capital at that time.

"But when I successfully sneaked in, I saw that Jarvan III had died mysteriously."

"I can't confirm who was responsible for the assassination of Jarvan III, but it must be related to the magical power of Demacia."

"In the end, when I was leaving, I was suddenly attacked by dark forces and was seriously injured."

Catalina talked about the final attack, a fierce look appeared in her eyes.

She really wanted to assassinate Jarvan III in order to highlight the prestige of the Du Couture family.

But she is not the one who steals the fruits of assassination.

"After subsequent follow-up investigations, I found that Silas's successful escape was closely related to Lux."

"Although there is no clear information that it is because of Lux that caused the chaos in the capital of Demacia."

"But my intuition is pretty much the same. Lux is definitely the source of chaos."

After Catalina finished speaking, she looked into Huo Jixing's eyes and pursed her lips.

"How about it? Isn't it an interesting secret?"

When Huo Jixing heard this, his eyes were dark and he was surprised deep in his heart.

In his past life memories, there were rumors about the secret connection between Lux and Silas.

Now hearing Katarina's words, the two are connected to each other, and the truth about the chaos in Demacia's capital can be seen.

"Don't Prince Jiawen know?"

"Or will it be covered up by someone with serious intentions?"

Huo Jixing thought to himself as he thought of the impact that the assassination of Jarvan III had on the Kingdom of Demacia.

"The Lightshield family and the Crownguard family have a close relationship. They have been bound together since the birth of the Kingdom of Demacia."

"Galen and Lux ​​have grown up together with Prince Jarvan since they were young."

"How will Prince Jarvan face it if he knows the truth? How will Galen face it?"

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Just when Huo Jixing was thinking, he suddenly heard a cry from above the clouds.

Hearing the sound, Huo Jixing's eyes tightened as he saw the wandering Demacia Dragon Bird Knight.

And Lux!

"Sure enough, she understood my thoughts."

Huo Jixing looked at Lux, who was wearing a blue cloak and had long golden hair flying behind her back, and raised his eyebrows.

Perhaps he noticed Huo Jixing's eyes.

Lux, who was riding the Demacian dragonfowl and hovering on the clouds, immediately followed her inner intuition and looked down below.

Under the power of pure white refraction, the endless forest could not block her gaze.

The figures of Huo Jixing and Catalina reflected in the sea-blue pupils.

Lux's actions also attracted the attention of the nearby Demacia Dragon Bird Knights.

They immediately gathered around, and the Demacia Dragon Bird under their mounts spread their silver wings, and hurricanes came and blew the treetops.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Facing the might of the Demacia Dragon Bird.

The snow-white Poro lying on Katarina's shoulder immediately curled up his head and trembled.

Then it jumped up and fell into Huo Jixing's arms, not daring to show its head.

Katarina looked up at the Demacia Dragon Bird Knights team in the sky, pulled out the serrated dagger at her waist, and the cold breath filled the surroundings, cutting the autumn wind blowing over.

"Be careful!"

Katina spoke in a deep voice, her eyes showing a solemn look.

In the blue sky, the Demacia Dragon Bird Knights led by Lux quickly closed the distance.

"Four Dragon Bird Knights, and Lux!" Katarina's eyes gradually darkened.

Although she had talked about Lux before, she did not look down on Lux's strength.

On the contrary, the Reiser Guard Secret Office paid special attention to this Crown Guard lady.

Suspected of possessing the power to manipulate light!

Such extraordinary abilities will be a great threat to the Noxus Empire when they grow up.

Katarina took a deep breath. With their current state, they may not be able to escape unscathed from the siege of Lux and the Demacia Dragon Bird.

Above the sky, the Demacia Dragon Bird was suspended in the air.

Lux saw the familiar figure below, and a trace of hesitation flashed across her face, and finally a resolute divine light appeared in her sea-blue eyes.

She took out her golden cane, holding the golden ebony handle, and a touch of white light filled the air.

Ever since Lux saw the traces of flames left by Huo Jixing in the Demacia Hero City, she has been thinking about it.

Until she heard the news from the Dawn Castle, the Fearless Vanguard Corps, and the news that the Lightbringer Temple had suffered heavy damage.

She decided to lead a Demacia dragon bird squad and secretly return to Mithril City according to her own guess.

In a familiar place, she could sense a familiar smell based on the power of refraction.

Lux immediately started the pursuit along the northern border of the kingdom.

Finally, in this forest near the Freljord area, she intercepted Huo Jixing and Katarina.

Lux ordered the Demacia dragon bird knights beside her to harass and prevent the target from leaving by taking advantage of the high altitude.

She raised the golden cane in her hand, and the white light shot up into the sky, dispersing the clouds.

Below the mountains, in the dim forest.

Huo Jixing saw Lux's action and his expression changed immediately.

He had a deep memory of such an action, having seen it in the prison outside Mithril City.

Galio, the Colossus of Justice!

Lux ​​was calling for Galio to come.

"So careful?" Huo Jixing frowned.

He didn't believe that Lux would not know that he and Katarina were seriously injured.

Even so, she still has to call Galio.
