The Glory of Noxus

In the audience hall.

The bright yellow candlelight lit up, reflecting the many flags falling near the throne.

Swain, the recently acclaimed new leader of Noxus, sat alone on a stately marble chair.

From a distance, it looks like a lonely statue, standing at the core of the empire.

The candlelight flickered, and Swain's face was looming in the light and shadow, adding a bit of mystery and majesty.

He was still wearing old clothes, and every wrinkle on his face told of the hardships and glory of the past, and his deep eyes fell on the letter in his hand.

After recuperating in recent years, the huge empire of Noxus has been on the right track of stable development after experiencing war and turmoil.

The smoke of war has gone, replaced by prosperity and peace.

With the vigorous development within the empire and the improvement of the living standards of the Noxians, this is what Swain is most gratified about.

However, although Swain is at the pinnacle of power, he is not complacent.

On the contrary, it was Black Rose's calmness that made him a little worried.

After careful consideration, Swain used Riel and Belea as pawns and frequently tested the Black Rose, but did not get the desired results.

The Black Rose is restricted by the Leather Guard Corps and has not yet found any traces of Riel and Belea.

Let them destroy several important magic experimental bases and rescue the failed demon destroyers inside.

But Swain did not feel the joy of victory, but felt a little worried.

Because this phenomenon is not in line with the style of black roses and pale ladies.

Swain's deep eyes flashed with a few rays of blood, and he shook his head helplessly.

The Trifali Council and the Reese Garrison received too little information, and he was completely unable to deduce anything more.

I only know that everything Black Rose is doing now is for the rumored iron armor of the underworld.

Ta-ta! Ta-ta!

The sound of light footsteps brought Swain's thoughts back.

He raised his eyes and looked, and Huo Jixing's familiar figure came into view.

"Your Majesty Swain!" Huo Jixing said respectfully.

Swain nodded and motioned Huo Jixing to walk to the simple marble table.

He is very optimistic about Huo Jixing, especially his performance in recent times, and he is completely able to stand alone.

Coupled with his relationship with the Du Kecao family, he will definitely grow into a pillar of the empire in the future.

When Huo Jixing approached, he took out the letter that was lying alone on the table and handed it to Huo Jixing.

"The news just came from the Shurima continent confirming that Katarina has disappeared."

"The last place it appeared was Uzeris."

Huo Jixing frowned when he heard this. He reached out to take the letter and read it carefully.

Catalina serves as the representative of the Du Cacao family to deal with the issues of the imperial expatriates and the indigenous people of Shurima.

At the same time, as a high-ranking officer of the Reiser Guard Corps, he carried out some secret assassination missions.

But while on a mission, Katarina disappeared, and the soldiers of the Reiser Guard Corps sent out to search found nothing.

It was like Catalina disappeared directly into the endless desert.

After Huo Jixing read the letter, a surge of anger suddenly surged deep in his calm heart, and a red-gold glow filled his pupils.

"What's the mission?"

Swain noticed subtle energy fluctuations and raised his eyes to look into Huo Jixing's red-gold eyes, feeling a slight tingling sensation.

"Explore the ancient tomb!"

"Leser Guard Secret received a secret message that someone discovered an extremely ancient cemetery in the desert."

"Suspected to be the lost tomb of a mysterious Ascended One."

"Katerina went to explore the location of the ancient tomb and disappeared."

Hearing Swain's words, Huo Jixing paused inwardly and raised his eyebrows.

"Ascendant?"

In the continent of Shurima, the meaning of the Ascended is very important.

They are great figures respected by the people of Shurima, and are warriors of the gods.

A lost tomb of an ascended person is enough to influence all nearby forces and even drive them crazy.

"It just so happens that I don't have anything important to do recently, so leave this task to me."

Huo Jixing put the letter in his hand into his arms and said.

He understood Swain's purpose in calling him here. The empire wanted this lost tomb of the mysterious Ascended One.

"Well, you should leave as soon as possible." Swain nodded slightly, having heard about the relationship between Huo Jixing and Catalina.

"I will let all the forces on the Shurima continent cooperate with you."

After Huo Jixing left the Immortal Fortress, he immediately returned to his residence.

Just happened to see Annie.

Under Huo Jixing's careful arrangements, Gregory successfully settled in the capital and had his own house.

After solving his life problems, he began to look for traces of Amoline again, which led to Annie coming to play from time to time.

"Uncle Huo Jixing, are you free this afternoon?" Annie ran over holding Tibbers in her arms and asked, looking up.

"Sorry, Annie!"

Huo Jixing knelt down, pinched Annie's face, and pretended to be relaxed.

"I have something to do recently and I have to go out for a while."

"If you are bored, you can come over and play with Heini."

Annie stretched out her hand and tugged on Huo Jixing's clothes, showing a worried look.

"Is it dangerous?"

"Haha, it's not dangerous." Huo Jixing chuckled.

Then he picked up Annie and walked around the room several times.

The sword boy Heini packed up Huo Jixing's belongings, including the sword blade [Spiritual Wind] that was still under maintenance.

After Heini finished preparing, Huo Jixing and the two little guys said goodbye and left the capital.

The dark underground palace.

The pale lady was resting with her eyes closed. After hearing the hurried footsteps outside the palace, she opened her dark eyes.

A figure in a black robe walked in quickly, crawled on the ground, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent message to report to you."

"What is it?"

The pale lady stretched her waist lazily, showing her extremely seductive curves.

"It's the news from the Shurima continent. A lost ancient tomb of a mysterious ascender was found." The black-robed figure said.

"The cemetery is very dangerous, and we need to arrange people to go there for support."

The pale lady was thoughtful. The ascenders of the Shurima Empire are also called God Warriors.

If it were normal times, she might be more interested, and it would not be a bad idea to send a clone to go there.

But now it's different. The matter of the Underworld Iron Armor has reached a critical moment, and she can't leave the capital of Noxus.

"There is another piece of news. Katarina disappeared while exploring the ancient tomb." The black-robed figure said.

"Katrina? Confirm?"

The pale lady stood up and walked to the black-robed figure with elegant steps.

"Confirmed, the above news is all from Miss Cassiopeia!"
