The Glory of Noxus

"I said. Let go"

"Tibers!"

Just a few words, the toughness and fury inside suppressed the noisy voices in the tavern.

Marchin's body did not obey the judgment of reason, stopped and looked back.

Annie was standing on the bar, staring at the bounty hunter who was as big as a hill, and anger was burning in her lovely eyes.

Then, chaos broke out!

Marchin saw the dazzling red light and waves of heat bursting out from the girl's body.

"Damn it, it's a transcendent!"

He reacted immediately, raised his arms and screamed in pain, staggered back a few steps, and hit the wine rack behind him.

Several carefully sealed bottles fell beside him.

Marchin immediately leaned over and crawled under the bar, cursing his stupidity and hesitation.

Boom!

The shouts of the crowd and the sound of wood breaking occasionally embellished the roar of the flames, which sounded in the tavern.

Then, an unimaginable voice echoed in the air, shaking his bones.

Marcin crawled forward, still half-blind, in the direction he hoped was the kitchen door.

Beside him, screams and wails grew louder, and there was the sound of burning flames.

The screams stopped with a sickening sound of bones cracking.

For the second time that day, Marcin forgot his honed skills to avoid disaster and leaned over the bar to look out.

In his field of vision, a huge beast loomed above, only its outline could be seen in the light of the fire.

Thick tendons connected its limbs to its torso, and the stitches of the sutures were exposed to the air.

From a distance, it looked like the huge shadow bear rumored to roam the mountains and forests, protecting small animals.

Marcin was suddenly startled to see that the beast itself was burning, and the hungry flames on its fur did not hurt it.

Its claws were raised in the air, holding the bounty hunter's head in it, and his limp body below. At this moment, he was like a broken doll in the monster's big hand.

In front of the shadow bear, the little girl put away her angry expression and stood on the bar, surrounded by a circle of flames.

"You're right, Tibers."

"He doesn't like being pulled hard either!"

Marcin looked around the room in fear. The tavern was full of overturned tables and chairs, all burning and emitting thick black smoke.

The smell of blood and barbecue penetrated his nose, making Marcin's expression change, holding back his cough, and his stomach churning.

But it was still too late. The monster similar to the shadow bear turned around and looked at him with eyes burning with fire.

Marcin sobbed, stared at the glowing abyss in the beast's eyes, swallowed his saliva, and accepted his fate.

"Okay, Annie, put away Tibers."

A calm voice drowned out the crackling flames.

In Marcin's horrified eyes, a handsome young man walked up to Anne, not afraid of the flames around him.

"Who are you? Do you know me?"

Anne raised her eyes, with a trace of angry flames still in her pupils.

Tibers in front of him waved his strong flaming arms, smashed the bar, and roared at Huo Jixing.

"Be quiet!"

Huo Jixing looked at Tibers and noticed that this monster, which looked like a shadow bear, was surrounded by blazing flames, looking both weird and powerful.

It looked like an enlarged brown bear toy, but the power in its body seemed to be restricted and could not be fully exerted.

Tibers seemed to become a little uncomfortable under Huo Jixing's gaze.

Its burning eyes, which should have been full of wildness and rage, now revealed a trace of fear.

"Huh, demon power?"

Huo Ji whispered softly, with a red-gold glow in his eyes. He just glanced at Tibers lightly, and it seemed to be inexplicably frightened and took a step back involuntarily.

Seeing this, Huo Jixing let Tibers go and looked at Annie.

"I am a friend of your parents, my name is Huo Jixing, and I came here specially to visit your father this time."

He was afraid that Annie would not believe it, so he took out the gift that Amorin gave him from his arms.

An exquisite necklace, with a small shadow bear doll hanging below, with arms open, as if hugging something.

"Hmm? This doll seems familiar to me. It was made by my mother!"

Annie poked out her cute face from Tibers' side, first puzzled, then surprised.

She walked quickly to Huo Jixing and looked up at him.

"Right?"

"Yes, this is a gift from your mother." Huo Jixing nodded and handed the necklace to Annie.

"Wow, it's really my mother's craftsmanship!"

Annie held the necklace, looking very happy, and jumped up.

Then, she looked at the huge Tibers behind her, waved her arms, turned it into a doll, and fell into her arms.

"One big and one small, they look almost the same."

Annie played with it for a while, then returned the necklace to Huo Jixing, a little reluctant to part with it.

Huo Jixing took the necklace, and seeing Annie's posture, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He leaned over and hung the necklace around Annie's neck, and gently took her right hand.

Although it was dirty, he didn't care.

Annie looked down at the little doll on her neck, then looked at Tibers in her arms, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she let Huo Jixing lead her out of the tavern.

Before leaving, Huo Jixing looked back at the tavern where the fire was gradually extinguished, and said to Marcin.

"The gold coins will be considered compensation."

After saying that, he took Annie out of the tavern and disappeared.

Not long after Huo Jixing left.

At the corner of the tavern, an old woman in a black robe came out.

She stared at the direction where Huo Jixing and Annie disappeared, and whispered.

"She looks so much like Amorin!"

The old woman's thin face was fierce, and her eyes were covered with wrinkles.

She had just entered Xueling Town and sensed the surging fire magic power, so she rushed over as soon as possible.

Then she saw the scene of Tibers's anger and Huo Jixing's sudden appearance.

The old woman recalled Annie's appearance, which gradually overlapped with a face engraved in her mind.

Her eyes and laughter were almost exactly the same as Amorin.

Therefore, she instantly confirmed that Annie was Amorin's child.

"Huo Jixing is here too. Her Majesty the Pale Lady guessed correctly, but this mission is very difficult!"

The old woman frowned when she thought of Huo Jixing's terrifying strength.

The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were like dry and cracked ground, making her old face extremely gloomy.

In the internal intelligence of the Black Rose, Huo Jixing is a very dangerous person.

His strength has long been legendary, and he has defeated the clone of His Majesty Vladimir.

With her strength, she can't match such a person at all.

"Alas, I have to ask for help from the Pale Lady again."

The old woman looked sad. The previous punishment had not yet been settled. If she asked for support now, it would affect the resources behind the Raven Academy.

She glanced at Marcin who was cleaning the tavern. Just as her body was about to merge into the shadow, she suddenly stopped.

A sense of danger appeared silently behind her, pressing straight into her heart, making her panic.

"Well, are you a subordinate sent by the Pale Lady? The taste is not good."

The blurred and sexy voice sounded in her ears, like a cat's claws gently scratching the heartstrings, light and deadly, unable to extricate herself.

The old woman's expression suddenly changed, her heartbeat was as rapid as a drum, and fine cold sweat appeared on her forehead, but she dared not move, let alone look back.

Just when she was about to give up resistance and let fear devour her, the danger behind her suddenly disappeared, leaving only a mysterious and indifferent word.

"I remember her breath, I will notify you when the action begins."

This sentence instantly pierced the haze in the old woman's heart, making her feel a cool breeze behind her, and the feeling of being locked in disappeared without a trace.

She slowly exhaled, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden, and her body regained strength.

After waiting for a while, the old woman calmed down and asked with courage.

"Who is it?"

However, the only answer she got was silence.

The voice disappeared like a phantom, leaving only her own echo echoing in the shadows.
