The Glory of Noxus

Night falls.

A touch of coolness gradually appeared in the air of Bergün, dispelling the scorching heat of the day.

The dim starlight falls from the sky and blends into the dots of candlelight, reflecting the hazy outline of the city.

In the streets and alleys, soldiers from the Noxus Empire patrolled day and night to maintain order.

Their presence brought a sense of security to the city and demonstrated the authority and order of the empire.

Lesser Guard Secret House, backyard.

In the dark room, Huo Jixing suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of red-gold light ignited his pupils.

"Someone is spying."

He turned his pupils, and many clouds filled the red-gold field of vision.

There are two colorful clouds representing extraordinary beings surrounding the room.

If it were an ordinary Leiser Guard Corps investigator, he might not be able to detect the secret spying.

Unfortunately, Huo Jixing is not an ordinary person.

But a strong man who has stepped into the realm of legend.

Buzz! Buzz!

The spiritual power spread like ripples in the air, silently touching the hidden positions of the two extraordinary beings.

"It's a bit surprising that he turned out to be a transcendent from the Reese Guard Corps!"

Huo Jixing recalled Diliciati's performance during the day. After thinking about it carefully, a chill flashed in his eyes.

"Spy on me?"

"Or is it to monitor every investigator who comes to Berghun?"

He thought in his mind, slowly stood up, and gently held the spirit wind placed on the bedside.

"Two extraordinary beings can indeed deal with ordinary investigators."

"But I'm not!"

Huo Jixing glanced at the snow-white Poro sleeping on the bed, picked it up and stuffed it into his arms.

Within his field of vision, the clouds belonging to Dilishati were quietly disappearing.

Without waiting any longer, Huo Jixing's spiritual power directly disrupted the perception of the two extraordinary beings, causing them to fall into a psychedelic state.

Immediately, clouds and mist rose under his feet, carrying him out of the room and catching up with Dilishati.

Lower town in the middle of the night.

It's dark and cold, with few people around.

The dim candlelight swayed in the cold wind, casting mottled light and shadow.

The figures I occasionally see are also drunken aborigines. They are oppressed by life and can only indulge in the world of alcohol.

Dilishati was very familiar with the terrain of the lower city and walked quickly in the dark shadows.

His eyes were shining with sharp light, and he was always paying attention to his surroundings in case something unexpected happened.

After a cup of tea.

Dilichat walked through the narrow alleys, stopped in front of a hidden dilapidated house, and knocked on the door gently.

Three long and four short knocks on the door disappeared into the darkness with the wind.

Immediately afterwards, the door opened from the inside.

Dilichat still looked back uneasily before stepping in.

When all Dilichat's figures disappeared into the room, bursts of black mist emerged, obscuring all traces.

"Rune magic circle?"

Huo Jixing was surrounded by clouds and mist, suspended in the sky, and noticed subtle runic energy fluctuations in the room.

"But it's too low-level."

He came to the sky above the dilapidated room, and his spiritual power ignored the rune circle and penetrated into the interior of the house.

"A familiar scent, a member of the Black Rose!"

There was a hint of coldness in Huo Jixing's calm eyes, and the corners of his slightly upturned mouth were like sharp daggers.

"You are so anxious to see me, has something happened?"

In the dim room, members of the Black Rose wore pure black robes with rose badges on their chests.

Dilichat frowned, not comfortable with the lightless room.

"Investigators from the capital have looked at Catalina's traces again."

"And he also pulled out all the intelligence information on Bergune in the past two months."

"Are you worried that he will see what we did?" the Black Rose member said with a smile.

"Don't worry, all traces have been erased."

After hearing this, Dilichat secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As the person in charge of the Leiser Guard Secret Office and a high-ranking officer of the Leiser Guard Corps, he is well aware of the difficulty and ruthlessness of the Black Rose.

"But we still need to monitor. There is news from the capital that important people will come to Shurima. Let us cooperate." said the Black Rose member.

"Okay, I've arranged for people to monitor you." Dilichat nodded.

After a moment of silence, the Black Rose member slowly spoke up.

"Have you got the weapons?"

"Not yet. After the last rebel incident, service officer Doric specially registered the consumption of weapons." Dilichat said helplessly.

"It will take some time to get it all together."

Some time ago, a small rebel force from the tribe raided a small outpost near Bergun.

However, they unexpectedly encountered patrolling Noxian Imperial cavalry, causing the entire army to be destroyed.

While the Noxian Imperial Cavalry was cleaning the battlefield, they discovered some of the Empire's standard weapons, which aroused the anger and attention of Orderly Officer Doric.

"Everything must be done within three days, otherwise the people from the tribe will lower the price."

"You don't want to lose gold coins either, right?"

"I will solve it." Dilichat gritted his teeth and agreed.

Secretly smuggling imperial weapons, according to the latest laws of the empire, is a head-turning matter regardless of identity.

Even if there is a generous reward, he should not do it based on his status.

But he has a fatal handle in the hands of Black Rose and has to obey Black Rose's orders.

"Actually, you can get rid of the orderly officer Doric, just like you did before, and replace him with an obedient one." Dilichat thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"It's a good idea, but you can choose not to say it." Black Rose looked at Dilishati in front of her playfully.

If she remembered correctly, Dilishati and Dorick had been friends for many years, and their family relationship had lasted for hundreds of years.

Such friendship is no match for one's own life.

"Not for the time being. Catalina's disappearance has attracted the attention of many people. We need to be careful." Black Rose suppressed the thoughts in her heart and refused.

"Okay." Dilichat was slightly disappointed.

"Well, contact me when the weapons are ready. Don't contact me at other times. I have important things here."

The Black Rose member snapped his fingers, closed the rune circle, and then blended into the shadows and disappeared.

Dilichat was in the room and was in no hurry to leave.

He thought of Charles arriving in the daytime, and felt uneasy in his heart.

But he didn't choose to tell the Black Rose members just now.

Dilichat also has her own plans.

Perhaps the existence of Charles will be a good trading chip.

He stayed for a while and then left cautiously.

"What a crazy guy!"

Above the sky, Huo Jixing, who was eavesdropping on the whole process, looked surprised and let out a sigh of relief.

"Not only colluded with the Black Rose, but also secretly smuggled Imperial weapons."

He thought of Dilishati's performance during the day, and then contacted the intelligence information from the Reiser Guard Secretariat.

"Well, this is a strategy to prevent the empire from deploying on the Shurima continent."

Swain is preparing to absorb the wealth of the Shurima continent for a long time through trade cooperation and cultural invasion.

But in the eyes of noble warlords like Dilishati, the indigenous people of Shurima are natural slaves and should dedicate everything.

What kind of trade cooperation and granting a certain status should not appear in the Shurima continent.

The most important thing is, how could Dilichat, as a vested interest in pioneering the war, be willing to let go of his interests.

"But he shouldn't have done that either."

Huo Jixing rubbed the snow-white Poro with his head sticking out of his arms, his thoughts surging.

"Perhaps Dilichat has something that fell into the hands of Black Rose, so that he can explain everything he is doing now."

He looked at Dilishati who was walking away, then at the black rose lurking in the lower city, and finally shook his head.

He couldn't pay attention to these nonsense things for the time being, and his first priority was to investigate Catalina's whereabouts.

If you do it now, you may expose yourself.

"Death is staring, I hope you can enjoy the last good life."

The darkness passed, and the crimson glow of dawn fell upon Bergune.

Huo Jixing got up early and strolled to the backyard to exercise.

By chance, Dilichat came over yawning and greeted each other.

"Morning, Charles!"

"Good morning, Lord Dilishati."

"How did you sleep last night?"

Dilichat stretched and said very naturally, showing no trace of the vigilance from last night.

"Not bad, I am more adaptable to the environment." Huo Jixing responded, his smile filled with humility and sincerity.

The two were chatting softly and exercising at the same time, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.

While eating breakfast, Huo Jixing said inadvertently.

"Lord Dilishati, I have made an appointment with the imperial warship. We will board the ship and leave before noon."

"Oh, where are you going?"

Dilichat put down the warm white bread in his hand and said with slight concern.

"Go to Nasramei first, and then go to Uzeris." Huo Jixing spoke bluntly without much hesitation.

Acting? So will he.

And with the addition of spiritual power, he is born to be a movie star.

"Yeah, it's similar to the direction of our investigation." Dilichat agreed.

"Wait a minute, I have something for you."

Without waiting for Huo Jixing to answer, he quickly stood up and left the restaurant.

After a while.

Dilishati returned, holding a turban made of tulle with glittering gold threads embroidered inside.

"Take this, you can use it on the road."

He put the gauze scarf into Huo Jixing's hand and pointed at the flickering golden threads.

"These golden threads are the hard currency in Shurima. If you need them, you can just pull them out and use them."

Seeing Huo Jixing's hesitation, Diliciati was happy in his heart, but he immediately concealed his emotion and pretended to laugh boldly.

"Haha, don't care too much about your identity, learn to enjoy life in Shurima."

"Then I'll accept it."

Huo Jixing hesitated for a moment, nodded reluctantly, and stuffed the gold scarf into his arms.

At noon.

Under Dilishati's special send-off, Huo Jixing boarded the imperial ship and sailed away from the port of Bergun.

"Finally left!"

Looking at the black ship in the distance, Dilichat's tense mood suddenly relaxed.

After the secret meeting last night, he received reports from two surveillance personnel, confirming that Huo Jixing spent the entire night in the room and never left.

This means that Huo Jixing has not found any useful information, which is good news for him at this moment.

The waves rose and fell, and the Noxian ships made a low, dissociated roar as they sailed on the Sea of ​​Conqueror.

Huo Jixing stood in front of the window of the room, looking at the increasingly smaller Beljuen, with a smile on his face.

"Leaving Beljuen?"

He shook his head slightly, retracted his gaze, and began to close his eyes to rest.
