The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 34: News from the Capital: Swain's Coup

The sky was dark, and the stars were lonely.

The snow-white village was shrouded in a deep night, and scattered ice flowers fell again, decorating the houses and muddy roads.

On the second floor of the wooden house, in the study.

The bright yellow light came on, shaking the figure behind the desk.

Gregory sat upright on the wooden chair, carefully flipping through the heavy book in his hand, looking for information related to the Star Spirit.

Unfortunately, the Star Spirit itself is a legendary existence.

There are very few records that can be left in the long river of history, most of which are words of praise.

In the middle of the night search, what he could find was basically a few vague guesses, and there was too little useful information.

"The Flame Star Spirit, it seems that it has not appeared yet?"

Gregory rubbed his slightly sour eyes and pondered.

Since discovering Huo Jixing's terrifying talent, he has occasionally tried Huo Jixing, but the shortcomings of awakening in the wild are reflected.

Although he has power beyond ordinary extraordinary people, he knows very little about his own power.

"Huh, I missed a God-given opportunity!"

Gregory looked at the dim starlight outside the window, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Before, because of some hesitation, he did not invite Huo Jixing to join his own secret school.

Now, the opportunity has been missed.

Whether it is Huo Jixing or Gregory, they both know it well.

In order to avoid embarrassment, the two never mentioned related topics, and usually focused on learning extraordinary knowledge.

In addition to the above reasons.

There is another more important factor that affects Gregory's psychological decision.

After all, he is a supernatural person with terrifying talents like the Star Spirit. Any force on the Valoran continent will not let him go and want to use him.

But. Huo Jixing was recommended by Wilson!

As a legion consultant, Wilson belongs to the Imperial Military Department. Before coming here to study, he must have reported Huo Jixing's information.

He and the secret school behind him do not want to offend the Imperial Military Department at this chaotic moment.

Especially the current Noxian Hand Darius, as an imperial general, he has a very tough attitude towards nobles and extraordinary people.

Whether Huo Jixing can be pried away is still unknown, but offending Darius will definitely make things difficult.

"Hmm?"

Gregory, who had just closed the book, raised his eyebrows slightly, spread his arms, and took out a sealed black wooden box from the desk drawer.

The box is thick, about 30 centimeters long and wide, with silver lines wrapped around the surface, and a circular rune engraved in the middle.

Gregory lowered his eyes and saw the circular rune gradually light up, and the silver-gray light, like a tide, permeated the study.

Puff!

But in an instant, the silver-gray light disappeared.

The silver lines surrounding the box are gathering their brilliant colors and spreading to both sides.

Accompanied by Gregory's solemn expression, lines of text from the void emerged in the center of the wooden box, densely packed, reflecting the vision.

This is an urgent magic message.

The incident represented an emergency, enough to affect the survival of the school of mysticism behind him.

"Noxus capital, Swain coup!?!"

Just after reading half of the message, Gregory stood up, looking horrified.

It was not until a moment later that his emotions slowly calmed down, and fine cold sweat covered his forehead.

"Who would have thought that the deprived Lord Swain would brazenly launch a coup?" Gregory whispered softly and continued to browse and read the message.

For a long time, he leaned back in his chair, his expression changing inexplicably.

Such a coup that changed the situation in the empire was indeed worthy of using a precious emergency magic message.

Across the vast territory of the empire, from the capital to the northern border, it came in a flash.

Then Gregory seemed to think of something, and a bright glow quietly appeared on his calm face.

After the defeat in the Battle of Presidium, Swain was immediately dismissed and expelled from the army, his status plummeted, and no one cared about him.

It was the careful planning during this period that allowed Swain to overthrow Darkwill's supreme rule overnight.

"However, the coup in the capital alone is not enough to change the situation in the empire. He needs more support."

Gregory stood up and walked to the window of the study, looking at the long snow-capped mountains in the distance. It seemed that he saw a towering camp with fluttering flags standing on the mountainside.

The multi-front war of the empire has led to a very tight military force in various places, and there is not much military force to return to the capital.

Only the imperial army led by Darius on the northern border has spare power.

"What will you choose for Darkwill or for the empire?"

"General Darius!"

The next morning.

Huo Jixing, who had just finished deep meditation, woke up and looked at the crimson dawn light outside the window, stretching his waist.

The effect of [Introspection of Oneself] is very good.

According to Huo Jixing's own test and the indirect attack on Gregory and his wife.

Each [Introspection of Oneself] is equivalent to a deep meditation.

And after the end, he could clearly feel that his intimacy with Nanli Zhihuo had increased a little.

This was like the friendship level in the game.

His relationship with Nanli Zhihuo was in a temporary honeymoon period, and it was improving rapidly.

He opened the door and came to the restaurant.

After adapting last night, Huo Jixing still felt a little strange when facing Gregory and his wife, but he could face it calmly.

It was not that he could not accept it, but yesterday's situation did feel a bit like a trick of fate.

Daughter of Darkness Anne's parents turned out to be his teachers during this period, and they got along very well.

Breakfast is ready.

On the clean table, there were plates of white bread, a large bowl of vegetable soup, and a large plate of roasted browned meat.

Gregory looked at Huo Jixing who was swallowing food, and said the decision he had made after careful consideration last night.

"Xing, a big thing happened in the capital last night that changed the situation of the empire."

Huo Jixing paused and stopped eating.

He heard the solemnity in Gregory's tone, picked up the napkin to wipe the corner of his mouth, and his thoughts surged.

There are not many things that can be called big things in the Noxus Empire now.

Darius? Kled? Katarina, or Swain.

"Wait, could it be." Huo Jixing's heart skipped a beat, remembering the failure of the war in Ionia on the eastern front of the empire mentioned by Gregory before.

"Lord Swain launched a coup, captured the capital overnight, and deprived Commander Darkwill of his rights."

"How is it possible! Lord Swain"

Listening to Gregory's narration, Huo Jixing showed a look of astonishment just right, the silver knife and fork were twisted by his fingers, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Although Huo Jixing had expected Swain's coup earlier, he was still surprised when he really heard it.

It's not just a simple performance, but also full of true feelings.

Such a half-true and half-false performance is the most moving.

Across the table, Gregory saw Huo Jixing's expression change and nodded with satisfaction, which was no less than himself who had just heard the news last night.

Perhaps because he felt that the performance should not be too much, Huo Jixing began to put away his emotions.

The expression on his face gradually changed from surprise to calmness, but the horror in his eyes still remained.

And Gregory saw this and secretly admired it.

As expected of a terrifying gifted person of the Star Spirit, he seems to be naturally calm and composed.

"The news has not spread yet." Gregory spoke in a concentrated voice, and gently uttered his thoughts and suggestions from last night.

"You can choose to stay here and continue to study. I will apply for you to stay temporarily through the relationship of the Mystic School to avoid the war."

After speaking, Gregory put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at Huo Jixing.

Amorin, who was eating and remained silent, also cast a concerned look.

How many people have returned from the battles in ancient times.

Facing the turbulent battlefield, no one can guarantee that they can survive to the end.

The two were waiting for Huo Jixing's answer.
