The Glory of Noxus

In a quiet bedroom.

Huo Jixing's spiritual consciousness has just left the Xuanwu Star Chart and returned to the real world.

He immediately felt strange changes in his body, as if there was endless power surging in his body.

All four spirits in the sky have been activated.

Huo Jixing's body is undergoing the baptism of the power of the Four Spirits from the inside out.

Every bone, every piece of flesh, and every inch of skin is slowly changing.

Although in terms of appearance and body shape, Huo Jixing seems to have not changed at all.

But he could deeply feel that the essence of his life had been fundamentally changed.

call!

Huo Jixing let out a sigh of relief. He was just waiting for the right opportunity to step into a new realm.

He was looking forward to that moment, looking forward to being able to stand on the top of the Valoran continent.

Huo Jixing stood up and looked out the window. The dawn light fell like a golden veil, and the noise on the street gradually came.

Smelling the smell of breakfast, he opened the door and came to the kitchen.

Anne sat at the dining table, reaching out to rub her groggy eyes, looking like she was still half asleep.

On her left and right sides were snow-white Poro and Tibbers.

Seeing Huo Jixing's figure, Annie originally wanted to run over happily to greet him.

But for some reason, she suddenly frowned, her expression looked slightly hesitant, and her steps stopped, as if she was hesitating whether she should get closer.

Huo Jixing noticed Annie's movements and felt a sense of doubt in his heart.

Normally, Anne always likes to stick to herself and seems particularly close and dependent.

But now, Annie showed unprecedented hesitation and hesitation, which made Huo Jixing feel a little strange.

At this moment, Heini walked out of the kitchen with the cooked food and placed it on the dining table.

He also noticed Huo Jixing, and just as he was about to greet him respectfully, he showed a hesitant expression similar to Annie's.

To be honest, Heini's expression was more respectful, and his eyes were full of awe, as if he was facing a superior being.

"What's wrong with you?"

Huo Jixing sat in the main seat and looked at Annie and Henie in front of him, slightly confused.

"Lord Huo Jixing, you seem to have changed a lot?" Heini said with a restrained expression.

Compared to the meeting before going to bed last night.

The Lord Huo Jixing in front of him had a power that could not be described in words.

Annie blinked her bright eyes, looked at Huo Jixing, and echoed.

"Yes, Uncle Huo Jixing, you are indeed a little different from yesterday."

At the first glance, Annie noticed the change in Huo Jixing's temperament, but she had a childish temperament and couldn't find any specific adjectives.

Hearing the words of the two people, Huo Jixing's heart moved, and he immediately thought of the innate abilities given by the Star of the Dipper.

Is it the influence of the Emperor's Star?

Huo Jixing noticed the respectful expressions of Annie and Henie and thought to himself.

As the first star of the Xuanwu Seven Constellations, the Dipper Star exerts influence invisibly.

At this moment, Huo Jixing was like a being standing tall in the sky, with majestic appearance.

Anne and the others were affected by this and could not help but feel awe.

"Maybe it's your misunderstanding."

Huo Jixing slowly put away the pressure he unconsciously exuded and pretended to be relaxed.

Anne and Henie felt their power gradually disappearing, and eventually they were no longer affected and returned to their previous attitudes.

In the warm breakfast atmosphere, Huo Jixing enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast while chatting with Annie.

Because he was in a bottleneck period, Huo Jixing did not go to practice after breakfast, but played with Annie.

Taking advantage of the morning light, Huo Jixing took Annie and Henie for a walk around the nearby streets.

The prosperity of the capital remains the same.

Seemingly unaffected by the secret struggle between the Reese Guard Corps and the Black Rose.

But Huo Jixing felt the calm before the storm, as if a storm was coming at any time.

Boom! Boom!

In the evening, Huo Jixing returned to his residence with Annie and Heini. Before he could sit down, he heard a rapid knock on the door.

Heini, who had just unloaded the package, quickly turned around and opened the door. He looked at the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps wearing purple armor in front of him, his face condensed.

"I'm here to see Mr. Huo Jixing!" the soldier from Leiser's garrison said respectfully.

Before Heini could speak, Huo Jixing had already appeared behind him, nodding slightly to the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps.

"What's the matter?"

The Leiser Guard Corps soldier immediately took out a letter with fire paint from his arms.

The fire paint on the letterhead has not yet completely solidified, and it has a burning aura, as if it contains an important secret.

He handed the letter to Huo Jixing, his actions revealing solemnity and respect.

"This is His Majesty Swain's secret order."

After Huo Jixing received the letter, he did not rush to read it, but looked at the surrounding buildings with the corner of his eye.

The flocks of ravenous crows that once stayed in the shadows of the streets and in the corners of the eaves have long since fled and disappeared.

"It seems that the pressure from Black Rose is indeed quite large." Huo Jixing's thoughts were spinning.

"Swain has begun to shrink the range of the Crow Crows, trying his best to suppress the tentacles of the black rose!"

After closing the door, Huo Jixing wiped off the paint with his fingers, opened the letter, and read it carefully.

After a while.

He closed the letter and whispered softly.

"Should we start?"

Huojixing looked at the dome in the distance, and the crimson dusk glow filled the sky. Gradually, fine starlight appeared and dotted the clouds.

According to the trajectory of the stars, he could vaguely see the fate of the Noxian Empire.

The capital of Noxus.

The command center of the war group under the Trifaree Council.

Darius walked slowly along the black corridor, wearing heavy black armor and a crimson cloak behind him.

At the end of the corridor, Darius stopped in front of a solid steel door.

He stared at the huge steel door and saw a red light in the darkness, swaying like a spirit.

"General!"

A deep voice came from behind the huge steel door.

"Open the door!"

Darius stared at the red light that was close at hand, and his solemn voice sounded like a black wolf growling.

Boom! Boom!

As his order fell, the huge steel door opened from the inside out, making a heavy and palpitating roar.

Behind the swaying red light, there is a place imprisoned by a black magic rune array.

On the neat and smooth black marble floor, dark runes are engraved, extending all the way inside.

Like black chains, this mysterious place is firmly bound deep underground.

"Are you ready?"

Darius retracted his gaze and looked at the rune weaver beside him, full of majesty.

This is a secret experimental base affiliated with the Trifaree Council, used for the research of black magic and runes.

"It's ready, but are you sure you want to use it?"

The rune weaver wearing a black long coat looked at Darius, with a slightly hesitant look.

He was a little worried that Darius' identity was too important to the empire.

The previous rash use had already made them suffer from Swain's accountability.

"Everything has begun, we have no choice!" Darius shook his head and walked towards the depths of the experimental base.

The rune weaver stopped talking and followed silently.

Although Darius and the characteristics of the World Rune are very compatible, the damage caused by the World Rune to the human body is irreversible.

Darius had used the power of the World Rune before, causing his body to almost collapse. It took nearly two months of recuperation before he could barely recover.

As Darius went deeper, the air around him became more and more oppressive, and the diffuse red light occupied his vision.

Even later, the almost solid red light boiled like erupting magma, making the blood in the body gradually uncontrollable.

But Darius had already adapted, and took firm steps to the core of the rune array.

I saw countless black runes all over the empty room, like a mysterious and magnificent galaxy in the universe.

From a distance, a deep red broken rune was suspended above the dark rune array, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.

It was the source of the red light!

[Tyranny Fragment]!

One of the runes born after the former world rune [Tyranny] was broken.

The Rune War thousands of years ago left countless traces and legends on the Valoran continent.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the World Rune.

After the war, except for a small number of preserved World Runes.

Most of the World Runes were destroyed in the endless war, turned into many fragments, and lost in various places on the Valoran continent.

This [Tyranny Fragment] is collected in the hands of the Noxus Empire.

And the Rune Weaver.

is the extraordinary person born because of this.

Their predecessor is an ancient tribe from the Shurima continent -

the Wandering Weaver Tribe!

The Wandering Weavers believe in the legendary Mother Weaver and are born to touch runes.

It is the magical power given to them by the Mother Weaver.

Through their weaving, ordinary people can borrow the power of the World Rune.

Although it is only the power of fragments, it is enough for people to gain unimaginable abilities.

In the Noxus Empire, the status of the Rune Weavers is very high and they are a hidden power.

The rune weaver behind Darius stepped towards the [Tyranny Fragment], and three rune weavers in robes also walked out from the rune array.

They surrounded the [Tyranny Fragment], hooked the red light with their fingers, and gently wove.

Those slender fingers were like the toes of a dancer, lightly jumping on the red light, weaving complex rune patterns.

Each touch would cause a slight vibration, as if awakening the dormant power.

Under their control, the restless [Tyranny Fragment] fell into a quiet state and slowly sank into the crimson armor below.

Darius stared calmly at the fusion of the [Tyranny Fragment] and the crimson armor, and expectations and hopes rose in his heart.

After the end of the Northern War, the empire once again optimized the use conditions of the [Tyranny Fragment] to try not to affect the user.

But the power of the world rune is far beyond the ordinary magic rune items.

As long as it is used, it will inevitably be eroded by the [Tyranny Rune].

Even the strongest will council was gradually eroded and eventually became a slave to the tyranny.

Later, a wise and profound rune weaver proposed a bold plan.

He imagined that if he could find a similar rune power, he might be able to balance the power of the [Tyranny Rune].

This would minimize the side effects of the [Tyranny Rune].

Darius took a deep breath and walked to the side of the rune array, where a black giant axe was placed on the weapon table.

The overall length of the black giant ax is about 1.6 meters. It is bladed on both sides. The ax body is black and looks very heavy.

【Black Cutter】!

This is a high-level rune weapon that can only be mastered by previous Noxians.

It is also the key chosen by the Runeweaver.

Balance the erosion of [Fragments of Violence]!

"With our bones and blood, we will give birth to a new world!"

Darius stretched out his hand to hold the ax handle, his eyes filled with coldness, and there was no longer any hesitation.

Buzz!

There was a trembling sound in the air, like the whisper of an ancient beast.

The rune weavers looked pale, worked hard, and successfully embedded the [Fragment of Violence] into the crimson armor.

As the [violent fragments] were embedded, the crimson armor glowed with bursts of brilliant light, smearing the armor like paint.

Darius immediately grasped the black cutter with his right hand and stepped into the center of the rune circle.

"Wear armor for me!"

At Darius's command, the runeweavers came over and carefully put on Darius' armor embedded with [Fragments of Violence].

Their movements were gentle and skillful, as if they were performing a sacred ritual.

They put the armor embedded with [Fragments of Violence] piece by piece on Darius's body.

When the red light soaked into his body, Darius frowned slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the black cutter in his hand lit up with dim runes.

After a brief confrontation and fusion with the red glow, they finally reached a harmonious state.

This time Darius did not growl like before, but stretched out his hand to touch the crimson armor with an excited expression.

"Night is falling in the old world, and the black rose will be purged!"

Dark underground castle.

The pale lady closed her eyes and meditated. The light purple power surrounded her body and shone with hazy brilliance.

Ta-ta! Ta-ta!

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps hitting the ground like raindrops caught the pale lady's attention and she raised her eyes.

The Black Rose members wearing black robes and hoods knelt on the ground and spoke in a hurry.

"Intelligence agents have discovered traces of the iron girl Riel and the mad rose Berea near the capital."

"Are we going to take action? Bring them back?"

Since the last time they made trouble in the capital, Riel and Belea left Black Rose's sight and disappeared due to the interference of unknown forces.

But from time to time, there will be news that they destroyed the Black Rose stronghold.

"Are you sure?"

The pale lady did not leave her seat, quietly looking at the figure in black robe below.

"I'm not sure. Compared to before, their strength has grown again, and our manpower is a bit insufficient." The figure in black robe hesitated, and finally said truthfully.

"Well, I'll let someone else"

The pale lady was just about to arrange for people to capture Rui Er and Belea, but her heart suddenly sank.

Something is wrong!

Why were there traces of Riel and Belea at this time?

They are the experimental subjects of Black Rose. They were able to escape from Black Rose's sight before only with the help of Swain's power.

"What a coincidence!"
