The Glory of Noxus

On the gorgeous stage, the bright and colorful lights intertwined with the beat of the music.

The ribbons that fell like waterfalls fluttered on the dome, painted with colorful patterns, bringing the audience into a fantasy world of music.

Seraphine stopped dancing, ended this round of performance, and stood in the center of the stage.

Her delicate face, like white jade, was covered with fine sweat, sticking the scattered pink hair at her temples together.

But she always maintained an elegant and confident posture, opening her slender arms, as if embracing all the audience present.

"The last song, I wrote it recently, I hope everyone likes it!"

Seraphine's voice spread throughout the arena through the Hextech crystal device in her hand.

Speaking of the new song, she seemed a little nervous. After taking a deep breath, she slowly adjusted her breathing rhythm.

"Don't worry, just like before, infect the audience with your singing." A kind voice came from the Hextech crystal device.

This is the Hextech crystal embedded in the middle of the device speaking.

It is conscious, born from the blood of the Shell People.

In the lonely nights of the past, Seraphine often listened to the sound of the Hex Crystal alone.

It would sing hymns about the distant desert and the struggles of ancient ancestors, and sing the history of thousands of years in harmony.

Those ancient and beautiful melodies and mysterious lyrics made Seraphine intoxicated, awakening her infinite imagination of music deep in her heart.

It was also its warmth and encouragement that allowed Seraphine to withstand the pressure from all aspects at that time.

"Well, I will definitely succeed!"

Seraphine closed her eyes, and her index finger with a white glove moved slightly, turning off the suppression function of the Hex Crystal device and entering the sound diffusion function.

In an instant!

Seraphine could hear the complex voices of the audience around her, which surged into her consciousness like a wave.

She could hear the audience's expectations, excitement, tension, desire and other voices.

These sounds blended together to form a wonderful musical concerto.

As the audience shouted and the lights flashed, Seraphine became the master of all sounds. She could control them, guide them, and make them work for her.

"Every city has its own song. Zaun and Piltover are a charming duet."

The last song of the concert was written by Seraphine after she traveled all over Piltover and Zaun, based on the voices of countless people.

It is not only about mutual understanding and confession of the heart, but also about unity and solidarity.

Maybe this song is not perfect.

It may never be perfect.

But it is filled with many emotions and experiences of Seraphine, making her voice meaningful.

"Let's start!"

"A melody that goes straight to the heart!"

Seraphine raised her arms and sang her new song. Her voice was as pure and moving as the sound of nature, and every note jumped in the air.

Her body also swayed slowly to the rhythm of the music, as if she was having a deep conversation with the music.

The audience was attracted by her singing, and they closed their eyes one after another, feeling Seraphine's emotions and power.

The clear singing flowed through everyone's heart like a spring, washing away their inner fatigue and anxiety.

[Amplify the beat]!

[Gather the voices]!

As the music sublimated, Seraphine recalled what she had seen and heard in Piltover and Zaun.

The bustling port, the sweaty boatmen, the sharp and piercing elevator sounds, and the lingering haze.

It was the fear and disgust of the alchemist baron's all-powerful power, and the hatred of the hypocritical and arrogant Piltchmen in the upper city.

There were too many discordant sounds in the air, about to be vented.

Suddenly!

The beat of the music suddenly accelerated, entering the climax of the music.

Seraphine's voice also began to become more and more passionate, suppressing complaints and hatred, and encouraging people living in the present.

When the last note fell, the Noxcaria Arena immediately fell into silence.

All the audience looked at Seraphine at the center of the stage, at this music darling surrounded by magical light.

Then, thunderous applause and cheers rang out, and it didn't stop for a long time.

Seraphine opened her eyes and looked around at the excited audience in the arena, knowing that she had successfully touched their hearts.

And this concert will become one of the most beautiful memories in their hearts.

"This song seems to be a little special!?"

Huo Jixing looked at Seraphine, who was blooming on the stage, with his eyes flickering.

He heard a change at the end of the song, which was obviously different from the previous performance.

Based on his own listening experience, he vaguely understood what Seraphine wanted to convey -

unity!

Huo Jixing came back to his senses, thinking of Seraphine's birth, and somewhat understood the meaning of this new song.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of a hero!

The concert came to an end, and Seraphine walked along the edge of the stage.

She bowed to the audience, waved goodbye, and left the stage.

As Seraphine left, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and the audience left in an orderly manner.

However, looking at their expressions, they seemed to be still in the concert performance.

From time to time, there were a few discussions, praising Seraphine's singing skills.

Some people have already started to prepare to attend Seraphine's next concert.

In the top-floor box.

The gorgeous decorations and soft lights create a comfortable atmosphere.

Jar sat in the corner of the box, observing the conversation between Huo Jixing and Catalina, and his heart was full of entanglement.

After the concert, there was another banquet hosted by the Midalda family in the arena.

And he was not sure whether Huo Jixing and Catalina were interested in attending.

After thinking about it, he took into account the interests of the Midalda family, and asked with a thick face.

"Lord Huo Jixing, there will be another banquet held in the arena later. Do you want to go there?"

Huo Jixing was originally ready to take Catalina away. Hearing Jarl's words, he raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Jarl.

In just a moment, he noticed the embarrassed look hidden in Jarl's eyes, and then understood the purpose of his invitation.

Huo Jixing did not rush to answer, but glanced at Catalina beside him and made a simple eye contact.

He himself must be fine, after all, his relationship with Jarl has always been harmonious.

But Catalina's situation is different.

As an imperial general, her words and deeds now represent the Du Kecao family, and she has to consider things more comprehensively.

Catalina didn't care at all, and nodded gently to Huo Jixing, indicating that it was okay.

"Then go and take a look." Huo Jixing made the decision directly.

When Jarl heard Huo Jixing's answer, the entanglement in his heart disappeared, and a touch of joy climbed into his heart.

Then, he immediately took action to arrange for Huo Jixing and Catalina to go to the banquet.

Along the way, Jarl's smile on his face never stopped, and he looked in a very good mood.

He understood what kind of impact Huo Jixing's appearance would have on the Midalda family.

In Huo Jixing's eyes, the concert held by the Midalda family was indeed very successful, far beyond imagination.

Although the Empire has almost perfectly dealt with the impact of the Black Rose incident.

But it still caused some aftermath, causing some Noxian citizens to be uneasy.

The Noxcaria Arena hosted this unique concert to eliminate the subsequent impact of the Black Rose.

At the same time, this is also the Empire's statement.

They began to lay out future strategic guidelines and prepare to cooperate with Piltover and Zaun in all aspects.

This is just the first step. With the help of the geographical location and technological level of the two cities, the Empire will eventually usher in a new era.

Of course, the Midalda family is still the Empire's first choice in Piltover.

Their outstanding business acumen and trade channels across the continent are what the Empire needs.

But under many actions, Jagu and Jarl saw many uncertainties.

They hosted this concert not only to show the strength of the Midalda family, but also to show their own connections.

Even so, in the eyes of the upper class of the Noxus Empire, the Midalda family is just a merchant family after all.

No matter how much wealth they have, they can't change their identity.

In the Noxus Empire, the status of nobles and warlords is the most noble.

And the merchant family is just a white glove for them to manipulate interests. No matter how hard they try, they can't get rid of such a label.

Jagu also saw this, so he arranged Jarl to come and try to maintain his relationship with Huo Jixing.

Today, Huo Jixing is no longer an ordinary person who serves as a high-ranking officer in the Reiser Garrison Corps.

His power and status are comparable to the three people in the Trifari Council.

If the Midalda family can continue to borrow the power in this concert, they will get unimaginable rewards.

In the banquet hall of the arena.

The glass chandeliers hang on the dome like stars, and the magic lights dotted around illuminate the wide banquet hall.

The soft red carpet covers the floor, like a red ocean.

The guests are dressed in gorgeous dresses, scattered in groups of three or five in the banquet hall, standing or sitting, talking or laughing.

There are also many waiters walking frequently, serving drinks to the guests.

Suddenly!

There were bursts of noise.

In front of the banquet hall, the arrival of Huo Jixing and Katarina quickly attracted the attention of many guests.

Among them are many famous imperial nobles and warlords.

They were usually high and mighty, but at this moment they could not hide their curiosity and awe of Huo Jixing and Catalina.

Even with their status, it was difficult to see Huo Jixing and Catalina.

But now they were seen at the banquet.

The most important thing was that these two did not often appear in such public places.

Every time they appeared, they would become a topic of discussion.

The atmosphere of the banquet became more lively because of the arrival of these two special guests.

The guests began to whisper, guessing the purpose of their attendance and whether there would be any special announcements or displays.

Huo Jixing and Catalina seemed to be aware of the eyes around them, but they still maintained an elegant posture, walked through the crowd calmly and walked towards the center of the banquet.

The guests' eyes moved and fell on Jarl, who was like a waiter.

This seemingly honest young man was actually the first heir of the Midalda family.

The fact that he was able to invite such important tasks as Huo Jixing and Catalina undoubtedly confirmed the rumors.

The Midalda family did have an extraordinary relationship with Huo Jixing.

In the corner of the banquet hall, Huo Jixing was chatting with Delevingne. Catalina sat quietly aside and occasionally spoke.

"This is Seraphine!"

Jal walked over, followed by Seraphine in a pink dress.

Huo Jixing followed the sound and saw Serafani, who was innocent and lovely without any makeup.

But he had already experienced it, so he just glanced at it casually and then turned his eyes and landed on Catalina.

"This is Master Huo Jixing, Master Draven, and General Catalina." Jal turned to look at Seraphine and introduced softly.

Seraphine seemed to be very familiar with such a scene, bowing slightly to Huo Jixing and the others in an elegant manner.

Then she stopped where she was and did not come over rashly.

Seraphine had already heard about the identities of the three people in front of her, especially Draven.

The killing show of the Honored Executioner is very popular in Noxus, and every public execution is the favorite show of Noxians.

Before her concert, I went to see a live performance.

Although the scene is somewhat bloody, it is undeniable that Delevingne did seamlessly integrate the two elements of excitement and killing, showing a heart-stopping artistic beauty.

Jal understood that Seraphine's status was quite special, so he did not force her, but simply introduced her.

Then he took Seraphine out of here to greet other guests.

The imperial nobles and warlord leaders who were not very fond of Jarl earlier have now changed their attitude and invited him into the circle.

Time passes gradually.

Tonight's banquet is undoubtedly important to the Myrdalda family and Jarl.

It not only shows the connection between the Myrdalda family and Huo Jixing, but also adds a strong touch to Jal's personal image.

As the dinner ended, the guests slowly left.

The arrival of Huo Jixing and Catalina left a deep impression on them.

Jal stood at the door of the banquet hall, watching Huo Jixing and Catalina leave, feeling secretly grateful.

It seems that the Myrdalda family is extremely powerful in Piltover, but a merchant family like them must always pay attention to the situation on the mainland.

Especially with such a terrifying behemoth as the Noxus Empire nearby.

As for Huo Jixing and Catalina, appearing at the banquet could be said to be helping the Myrdalda family.

From now on, the family's trade channels will be unimpeded in the Noxus Empire.

The dim moonlight fell down the street, reflecting two long black shadows.

"Don't you want to see the gift?" Catalina snuggled into Huo Jixing's arms and said with a smile.

"No need, Jal and the others know what I need."

Huo Jixing looked down at Catalina in his arms and spoke casually.

Before leaving the banquet, Jal specially gave him a generous gift.

Without opening it, he knew with his mental perception that it contained three good-quality magic rune items.

Under the starry sky at night, they walked slowly forward, enjoying each other's company and the tranquility of the night.

"Do you want to go to my place?" Catalina stood at the crossroads, her eyebrows filled with charm.
