The Glory of Noxus

In the next few days.

Gregory had to take care of Amorin who was disturbed by nightmares, so he couldn't spare much time to teach Huo Jixing, so he persuaded him to go out more.

The village was surrounded by dense mountains and forests. Going deeper, there were many powerful wild beasts.

Huo Jixing was very happy. While practicing his skills, he could go into the mountains and forests, hunt some wild beasts and bring them back to improve the food for Amorin.

This quiet and leisurely time almost made Huo Jixing forget the cruel war in the north, and he felt a little like returning to the countryside in his previous life.

Unfortunately, under the gears of fate.

After going around in circles, everything will eventually get back on track.

This day, the leisure time in the afternoon.

The dancing snowflakes rarely stopped.

The warm sunshine soaked through the clouds, and with the cold wind, it fell all over the houses in the village.

Huo Jixing, who had just returned from the snow-capped mountains, pushed the door back to the wooden house, took off his fur cloak, and came to the backyard in a light outfit.

Before I started exercising, I saw Amorin basking in the sun and rocking in an armchair not far away.

Yeah! Yeah!

The armchair rocked, making a slight sour sound.

Perhaps she hadn't fallen asleep yet. Amorin turned her head when she heard the footsteps and saw Huo Jixing, and a smile suddenly appeared on her cold face.

"It's still early. You came back so soon. Did you hunt something good?"

Compared with a few days ago, the attitude of the Gregory couple towards him has changed significantly.

From the initial friendliness, to the later familiarity, to the current equal status and awe.

It all started with his exposure of the terrifying talent involving the power of the star spirit.

"Nothing, I came back after a walk." Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent attitude.

He is a scout, not a professional hunter.

It is impossible to hunt wild beasts every time he goes out.

"Where is Mr. Gregory? Is he still doing research in the study?" Huo Jixing walked to Amorin, holding the back of the chair and rocking it gently.

No matter how others' attitudes changed, Huo Jixing still faced Gregory and his wife with a humble attitude.

Treat others with sincerity, and others will treat me with sincerity!

"He is in the study on the second floor." Amorin wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, looking much better than before the nightmare, and spoke softly.

"Now should be his meditation time!"

"In order to take care of me a few days ago, he put aside a lot of homework that he had to do."

Huo Jixing nodded gently, standing tall and straight in front of Amorin to prevent a little cold wind from invading.

His sight passed over the low gray stone wall.

He saw the villagers leaving on the snow, forming teams in twos and threes, each holding some food or daily necessities in their arms.

Those were the wages Amorin gave them.

The living room and fireplace that were damaged in the battle have been repaired by the villagers, and the hard work during this period can store some winter supplies for the cold families.

Amorin also saw the villagers leaving and said, "After dusk, some dry firewood will be transported here, and the fireplace will be lit again."

Although runes are engraved in the courtyard and the room to ensure a certain temperature.

But in the cold winter, it is still more comfortable to roast by the fire.

Huo Jixing stood in place, looking at the villagers with pale faces and thin bodies, and a strange color appeared in his heart.

The fragmented memories of his predecessor and the picture in front of him slowly merged and emerged in his mind.

More than two months ago, his life was worse than that of the villagers in front of him.

He had no fixed place to live and wandered around the empire.

And because of some accidents, his predecessor was forcibly recruited to become a glorious Noxian soldier and came to the northern border.

Although his physical fitness was OK and his skills were passable, he was no match for the clan warriors of the Winter Claw and almost died in Freljord.

Then he took the data panel and took over the magpie's nest.

After that, he fought and fought desperately.

Finally, he opened [Talent·Star Spirit·Suzaku] and became a transcendent.

When he returned to the camp, he received the attention and favor of the Noxus Legion consultant and was introduced to the village.

He followed Gregory to learn transcendent knowledge and lived a completely different life from his previous life.

The way of skills, the secret of transcendence.

Huo Jixing is no longer the ignorant state when he first crossed over. Now he has set foot on the path of transcendence and even has a terrifying talent involving the Star Spirit.

Calculate carefully.

He has been in the village for about half a month, and most of the study time has passed. There are only six days left before he returns to the Noxus camp.

To be honest, such a quiet time is really attractive and very suitable for lying down.

If it was in his previous life, he liked it very much.

"Unfortunately, this is not the life I want now!" Huo Jixing suddenly missed the days of licking blood on the edge of the knife in Freljord.

The excitement of risking life and the passion of extraordinary confrontation.

And the curiosity filled in his heart prompted him to explore the mysteries of Valoran.

When he came to his senses again, the villagers had disappeared at the end of the muddy road.

Huo Jixing shook his head gently, suppressed his inner thoughts, and looked down at Amorin who was basking in the sun on the armchair.

Suddenly, his expression paused, and some fragmented images flashed through his mind.

Pregnancy. The identity of the apprentice of the fire wizard, the inexplicable familiarity lingering in his heart, is losing the veil of concealment, and the truth can be seen faintly.

"Oh, I've been too sleepy recently, and I forgot to tell you something." Amorin seemed to be sewing something, with a ball of thread in her hand, wrapped around her sweater.

"When you go hunting in the forest, don't go too deep. There are rumors about shadow bears in the village. They like to protect weak animals, but they hate others entering their territory."

"Shadow bears, are they extraordinary creatures?"

Huo Jixing answered casually, but the next moment, a look of surprise and astonishment appeared on his face.

Before he could react, he saw Amorin take out a half-made stuffed bear from the armchair, put it against his cold face, and gently shook it.

The fluffy body mixed with brown and white, with sewn threads hanging on the arms and thighs, and the face without two eyes, swayed left and right with Amorin's swing, as if laughing at something.

The moment he saw the doll.

No matter how much Huo Jixing didn't believe it in his heart, he had to admit the fact.

"Your mother, Shadow Bear!?!"

Then, under the effect of [Photographic Memory], the hazy veil in Huo Jixing's mind was completely shattered.

Many memory scenes emerged one after another.

In the last few years of Bron Darkwill's reign, many people with magical powers left the capital and went to relatively peaceful remote provinces to settle down.

Ironthorn Mountains, the northern border of the Noxus Empire.

Gregory, a traveler who left the capital, a mysterious warlock, met Amorin, who was hiding her identity, in the dense forests of the mountains.

At that time, Amorin had just escaped from the academy and was weak in order to avoid being hunted along the way.

Under the gears of fate, the two met and traveled together.

In the village of the Ironthorn Mountains, he built his own residence with his own hands and educated the villagers.

There are also rumors circulating on the land that a huge shadow bear once roamed and protected the weak animals.

And the demon, Tyberk, who accompanied Amorin to leave the sealed land and wanted to regain his freedom.

Finally,

Annie, the daughter of darkness!

"Xingxing? What's wrong with you?"

Amorin, who was holding up the teddy bear, looked at Huo Jixing, who was standing in front of him in a daze, with a puzzled look.

Just now they were still talking and laughing, but when they saw the teddy bear, their expressions changed.

Do they hate teddy bears, or do they not believe the rumors about the shadow bear?

Hearing Amorin's cry, Huo Jixing came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, looked at the brown teddy bear and Amorin with a bulging belly, and felt strange emotions in his heart.

"Am I witnessing the birth of Anne?"

The Gregory couple had calculated the due date, and there was still about a month before Amorin could give birth smoothly, and the delivery had already been arranged.

"It's okay, I just didn't expect you to sew teddy bears!" Huo Jixing shook his head and joked.

"This is a gift I prepared for my child in advance, I hope she will like it." Amorin stroked her soft belly, and a touch of gentleness and kindness appeared on her cold face.

"Gregory and I will protect her forever, just like the rumored Shadow Bear, and will not let her get hurt."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Huo Jixing couldn't help but recall Amorin's nightmare and the flame shadow in the dream.

Whether it was the relevant memories of the previous life or the things he saw and heard when he entered the dream by mistake, they were all telling him.

The nightmare that haunted Amorin was not aimless, but premeditated.

Maybe Amorin herself knew it, but it was her secret.

Huo Jixing would not explore it curiously, just like Amorin and Gregory never asked him about the Nanli Fire in depth.

He and Amorin basked in the sun in the courtyard for a while, and then pushed the armchair and sent her back to the house.

At dinner, the fireplace in the living room was already ablaze.

Amorin and Gregory talked about dolls and children. Huo Jixing listened with his ears erect while eating dinner, which was very interesting.

It was different from talking about the situation in the Noxus Empire.

He is now experiencing the birth process of Anne, the daughter of darkness. As parents, Gregory and Amorin are telling all kinds of jokes without hesitation.

Maybe in the future, Anne will call him brother, or uncle?

In a trance, Huo Jixing felt a sense of time and space dislocation. The illusory stories of his previous life and the real scenes of the present are intertwined and integrated.

And he is the one who experienced it firsthand!
