The Glory of Noxus

On the second day, dawn broke through the sky.

The night still remained in the clouds, and the crimson light sprinkled on every building in the capital of Noxus.

Huo Jixing opened and closed his eyes, and a touch of red-gold light flashed, disappearing into his dark pupils.

Huh!

Between breaths, a breath of green air was like an arrow breaking through the air, and it lasted for a long time.

Then Huo Jixing got up and left the room and went to the restaurant.

A hearty breakfast was ready, and the aroma lingered.

Huo Jixing ate it directly, and after eating, he was about to leave the restaurant.

"My lord, wait."

Heini quickly put down the sundries in his hand, walked over quickly, and carefully helped Huo Jixing to dress.

His movements were skillful and gentle, as if he was very afraid of wrinkling Huo Jixing's clothes.

Although Heini knew in his heart that Huo Jixing had already met Lord Swain, he still made every detail perfect.

This is a respect for Huo Jixing, and also a pride and importance for this audience with Lord Swain.

Huo Jixing looked down at Heini's movements and nodded secretly in his heart.

He admired Heini's carefulness and loyalty, and saw the change in Heini's mental outlook.

This is not unique to Heini.

Since Huo Jixing returned to the Noxus Empire, what he saw and heard along the way made him see the Noxians' different appearance from before.

They are more united and braver, and work together for the prosperity and strength of the Noxus Empire.

Huo Jixing thought to himself that Swain and Darius are gradually changing the Noxus Empire.

The Noxus Empire, which once had its own troops and was bloody and barbaric, still presents a completely different state.

The center of the Immortal Fortress.

The long metal palace group.

Huo Jixing walked along the stone steps and walked up the triumphal steps.

On both sides are the soldiers of the Trifari Legion guarding the palace. Every twelve steps on the steps, there will be soldiers standing.

Huo Jixing looked at the red imperial flag flying in the sky, and at the soldiers of the Trifalli Legion who were wearing armor and holding sharp weapons and standing straight, and he could smell something unusual.

After a while.

Huo Jixing climbed to the top of the triumphal stairs and saw the familiar metal palace, which was dark and aggressive.

Just when he wanted to enter the palace.

The Leiser garrison soldier who had been waiting for a long time came over, bowed and said: "Lord Huo Jixing, please follow me this way."

He pointed to the side hall of the palace and walked slowly over.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the metal palace, and saw the flock of crows wandering on the top, thinking about something.

After entering the side hall.

There was no one in the wide hall for the time being, only the Leiser garrison soldier beside him was waiting for orders.

"Did something happen?" Huo Jixing found a seat and sat down, and asked casually.

Hearing this, the young Leiser garrison soldier looked a little hesitant, thinking of Huo Jixing's identity, and spoke softly.

"The regional governor of the Delverburg sent his son to meet with the Trifaree Council."

"The commander is handling it in the main hall."

Huo Jixing narrowed his eyes, and the information about the Delverburg quickly emerged in his mind.

Delverburg, the northern fortress.

It is the northern gate of the Noxus Empire.

The war he had experienced on the northern border before.

One is to resist the invasion of the Winter Claw tribe, and the other is to protect the safety of the Delverburg and the Ironthorn Mountains.

Because the Delverburg and the Ironthorn Mountains have very important iron ore resources, all the best plate armor in the Noxus Empire comes from the underground of the Ironthorn Mountains.

Wait

Huo Jixing had a flash of inspiration, as if he remembered something, and asked in a serious voice: "Is it the Valrokan family?"

"Yes!"

The young soldier of the Reiser Garrison looked at Huo Jixing in surprise and nodded slightly.

"The spies from the Raiser Garrison and the Assassin's Guild have sent word that the Delverburg intends to break away from the Empire and become independent."

"Independence?" Huo Jixing almost laughed out loud.

It's just a northern fortress.

Even though their gold feeds the Empire's wars and crusades, the steel they produce protects and arms the Empire's wars.

But does the Valrokan family really think that they can protect the resources of the Ironthorn Mountains with their power?

They can have the power and status they have now, based on the prosperity of the Noxus Empire.

"According to the ancient covenant, the ancestors of the Valrokan family gave up their sovereignty and surrendered to the throne of the Noxus Empire." The young soldier of the Raiser Garrison said angrily.

"But now, the last person who sat on the throne of the covenant they swore to is dead."

"So they think that the covenant has been invalidated."

"The Delverburg and the Valrokan family have no obligation to continue to pay any taxes, and the Ironthorn Mountains will no longer belong to the Noxus Empire."

"No!"

Huo Jixing shook his head gently, very sure.

"They will continue to abide by the covenant."

"Trust the Trifaree Council, Lord Swain, and General Darius."

Huo Jixing recalled that in his past life, the Delverhold had indeed repeated its behavior.

The result was a failure, the governor of the Delverhold region was replaced, and the Valrokan family was also purged.

The waiting time was very long.

Huo Jixing chatted with the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison.

It must be said that everyone who can enter the Reiser Garrison has a unique talent.

The soldiers of the Reiser Garrison in front of him were very familiar with many news in the Noxus Empire and told them in detail.

Dada! Dada! Dada!

Three footsteps of varying weights sounded.

Huo Jixing looked over and saw Swain and Darius on the corridor connecting the side hall to the main hall.

Swain walked in front with a black cane, Darius was half a step behind, and the two talked quietly.

As if he had noticed Huo Jixing's gaze, Swain looked over, and a fine red glow appeared in his dark eyes, and a look of surprise appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Seeing Swain's steps stop, Darius looked over, and the anger on his hard face disappeared, and a smile hung on his face.

"Hello General Darius, hello Lord Swain."

Huo Jixing immediately stood up and gave the two a standard Noxian military salute.

The young soldier of the Reiser Garrison also saluted, and then slowly left the side hall, leaving three people behind.

Swain sat in the main seat, and Darius sat on the right, leaning lazily against the back of the chair.

"It seems that you have gained a lot this time."

Swain looked at Huo Jixing, his thick gray hair draped over his shoulders, and his dark eyes glowed.

"Not bad." Huo Jixing smiled.

He looked into Swain's eyes, and now he could face the terrifying pressure he once brought.

At the same time, under his spiritual perception, he faintly sensed the terrifying power hidden in Swain's body.

"Demon power!"

Huo Jixing thought secretly, and he saw the familiar energy fluctuations, and the power similar to that of the eternal nightmare Mordekaiser and the demon clown Sarco.

He then began to talk about the secret mission he had carried out this time and the deeds of the Kingdom of Demacia.

Although the secret station of the Reiser garrison had already reported it, Swain and Darius still listened with great interest.

In Huo Jixing's words, he also mentioned Dawn, Francis and others, and expressed his recognition of their abilities.

"Fallen Angel Morgana!"

Swain's quiet eyes rippled when he heard Huo Jixing mention the dark flame power he encountered in the Dawn Castle and his guess about the person who took action.

"Sure enough, they inherited the power of the stars as the ancient myths said."

The Noxian Empire has long been investigating many secrets of the Kingdom of Demacia.

Including the Winged Protector and the Winged Sisters' Ode.

The Demacians only remember the glory and truth that one of the sisters upholds, but the Noxian Empire knows another great existence that inherits the power of the dark flame.

But now, Noxus also has a transcendent with the power of the stars.

Swain looked at Huo Jixing, his dark eyes flickered, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Have you set foot in the legend?"

Darius was a little late to realize it. Hearing Swain's question, he quickly straightened his body and stared at Huo Jixing, with a look of horror in his eyes.

Huo Jixing nodded gently under the gaze of the two.

"I'm lucky to step into the legend."

Boom!

Huo Jixing's words were like thunder in silence, causing Darius to stand up and Swain to hold the black cane tightly.

A moment later.

Darius laughed loudly, his rough face full of joy and excitement.

The existence of a legendary extraordinary person is unimaginable for the Noxus Empire.

Especially a legendary extraordinary person hiding in the dark.

He can already imagine the miserable scene of the enemy.

Although Swain appeared calm, the red palm hidden under the hem of his clothes was glowing with bloody red light.

Through Katarina's description, he had some guesses about Huo Jixing's strength, and he had also tried it just now.

But it was still a little unbelievable to confirm that he was a legendary extraordinary person.

Is this the terrifying growth of the star spirit talent?

He stared at Huo Jixing, and a trace of envy rose in his heart for no reason.

Then, Swain seemed to think of something, stood up and walked to Huo Jixing, with a bloody glow in his dark eyes.

"I heard from Katarina that your previous weapon was broken?"

"Yes."

Huo Jixing nodded, there was nothing to hide.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked at Swain, with an inexplicable sense of expectation in his heart.

"The Empire happens to have a secret treasure, you might like it."

Swain motioned Huo Jixing to wait for a while, and walked out of the side hall on his own.

"You kid, not bad!"

Darius came over and patted Huo Jixing's shoulder heavily, with a look of emotion in his pupils.

Who could have imagined that an ordinary border soldier would become a legendary extraordinary in a short time.

He also recalled the noble disputes caused by Huo Jixing's angry behavior before, which led to the Trifalli Parliament to reform the imperial system ahead of schedule.

Since then, he realized that Huo Jixing would surely stand out in the future.

But I really didn't expect such a scene to come so soon.

Darius smacked his lips and couldn't help but think of his advisor Wilson.

Everyone said that Advisor Trifari could pick a sheep from a group of wolves.

But what Wilson picked was not a sheep.

But a dragon!

"If Kled hears that you have set foot in the legendary realm, he may come back from the south to challenge you." Darius said.

Kled is the embodiment of the will of Noxus. He has a fearless and violent fighting style and likes to challenge everywhere.

"Then I will not show mercy to General Kled." Huo Jixing said casually.

Compared with most Noxian generals who pay attention to etiquette and rules.

Darius and Kled paid no attention to these falsehoods and had a very close relationship with the soldiers under their command.

As a result, the two men gained a reputation within the Noxian Chapter that is unmatched by ordinary people.

"Haha, I'm looking forward to you beating up Kled and the cowardly lizard." Darius laughed.

"Oh, by the way, you just came back and there's an issue. Are you interested in handling it?"

Darius took out a roll of ancient parchment from his arms, which was written in intricate and angular Ernoxian script.

In the place where the signature is signed, there are printed the seal of the Dredge Fort and the blood-red coat of arms of Noxus.

"What happened at Fort Diver?" Huo Jixing took the parchment and browsed the contents.

"With the power of the empire, it should be easy to solve it, right?"

Darius shrugged his shoulders, a cold murderous intent appearing in his wild eyes.

"They need a profound lesson so that they can suppress the situation within the empire that has finally calmed down."

Huo Jixing wanted to agree, because he really had nothing to do during this period of time.

"No, I have already arranged this matter."

Swain came back holding a sealed stone box and walked over.

Golden runes were engraved on the surface of the stone box, intertwined with each other, spread all over the body, and flickered with dim brilliance.

Huo Jixing turned his head and looked over, and instantly sensed an obscure runic magic power from the golden runes, which seemed to be suppressing the contents of the stone box.

"Wanting to move the tithe of Fort Diver is far from something that the two young descendants of the Varrokan family can decide."

Swain's tone was very calm: "This is Black Rose's conspiracy."

He stared at Huo Jixing in front of him and spoke in a deep voice.

"The thorns of the black rose have long been embedded in every part of the empire's body. If you want to pull them out, you have to endure the severe pain and cut off the completely rotten flesh and blood."

"The Trefari Council needs more Noxians to stand up and fight against the Black Rose."

Swain paused for a moment before continuing.

"I will take care of the Vallokan family. You can take a good rest recently and adapt to the power of the legend."

After he obtained the power of the devil, it took him a long time to adapt before he launched a coup to overthrow the rule of Brown Darkwill.

Huo Jixing stood upright and saluted respectfully.

"This is the reward given to you by the empire." Swain walked up to Huo Jixing, stretched out his hand and handed over the stone box in his hand.

"Open it and take a look."

Huo Jixing took the stone box and could clearly feel the obscure energy of the golden runes.

As he turned it on, bursts of machine sounds sounded, and the air was filled with a cold breath.

Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and saw a slender and sharp blue blade placed on black silk inside the stone box.

The blade is about three feet and three inches.

The sharp blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, and a biting chill comes over it, soaking into the soul.

Faintly, he saw that there seemed to be lightning wrapped around the blade, and there was a sound of thunder.

"This blade."

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed and he reached out to hold the handle of the knife.

At the moment of contact, a strong electric shock hit him, as if countless electric currents were passing through his body.

The majestic energy possessed by the electric current surprised him slightly.

Then he realized that this might be a test for the wielder of the blade.

Only those who pass the test can truly master its power.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows, held the handle of the knife tightly, and let the electric current flow through his body, stimulating it.

His heartbeat gradually synchronized with the rhythm of electricity, and the power of lightning surged through his body.

Huo Jixing stretched his spirit, carefully felt his own changes, and felt the huge potential contained in this blue blade.

But after a moment, the raging current completely quieted down.

The blazing Nanli Fire and the green Donghua Yimu Qi quietly appeared in his body, suppressing the random current.

"Statik Electric Blade!"

Huo Jixing recognized the name of this blade. He flicked the cicada-like blade with his fingers, and lightning surged and pierced the air.

Then he gently waved the Statik electric blade, and the lightning as thin as a hair, like a lightning elf, danced in the side hall.

Crackling!

The lightning disappeared and the air returned to calm.

Huo Jixing put away the Statik electric blade and looked very satisfied.

"Thank you Lord Swain!"

The Statik Electric Blade is definitely a legendary rune weapon comparable to the Black Cleaver.

And it also has lightning power, which is a perfect fit for his requirements.

Soaring in the clouds and riding on the mist, calling for wind and rain.

Now there is the blessing of lightning power.

The corners of Huo Jixing's mouth raised, and a smile spread across his face.

In front of the palace.

Swain looked at Huo Jixing's leaving figure, with a hint of expectation in his dark eyes.

One of the two sharp blades he chose has grown into a legend.

"Perhaps we should develop more Trifari advisors and distribute them to war groups in various regions of the empire."

Swain retracted his gaze, turned around, and looked at Darius in front of him.

"Do you think there will be another protoss genius like Huo Jixing in the empire?" Darius spoke directly, breaking Swain's expectations.

Although he had thought about it just now, thinking about Huo Jixing's terrifying growth potential, he felt that there would be no second person in the empire.

"What to do with the two little guys from the Varrokan family?" Darius asked aloud.

"Wait for the bait to bite." Swain walked towards the side hall, leaning on his black cane.

"The thorns of the black rose penetrate too deeply into the flesh."

"We need to figure it out slowly."
