The Glory of Noxus

Immortal fortress, metal palace complex.

Huo Jixing looked up at the familiar triumphal staircase in front of him with a relaxed expression.

This time he came not as a prisoner, but as a soldier of the Trifari Legion.

With his eyes lowered, he looked at his black steel armor and dark red cloak.

They were dressed like the soldiers of the Trifali Legion who guarded the palace on both sides of the steps.

His current identity was appointed by Darius himself.

Huo Jixing climbed up the steps and came to the side hall of the palace under the gaze of Cui Fali's soldiers.

There were already Leiser soldiers waiting at the door to lead him in.

The dim candlelight fell on the old noble coat.

Huo Jixing saw Swain sitting behind a simple marble table, which was piled with letters and parchments.

"I've met the Commander-in-Chief!"

Swain lowered his head and finished processing the letter in front of him, sealed it with wax paint, and handed it to the Leiser garrison waiting beside him.

"How have you been resting recently?"

Thick gray hair was spread over his shoulders, his dark eyes were filled with light, and a faint smile appeared on Swain's face.

"It's not bad, I've almost recovered." Huo Jixing said softly, his eyes falling on the dark gray ground at his feet.

Even though others were present, Swain put too much pressure on him.

In front of him, Huo Jixing suddenly felt like he was facing an abyss.

Especially under the gaze of the dark eyes, he seemed naked, with no secrets to hide.

And he didn't think that Swain was just coming to chat with him, there must be something going on.

"take it easy."

Swain's eyes flickered, seeming to understand Huo Jixing's thoughts, and he spoke calmly.

"This is Darius's secret order."

He took out the sheepskin roll tied with red string from his arms and placed it gently on the marble table in front of him.

Huo Jixing picked up the parchment, opened it and read it, his eyes flashed with surprise.

The content is very simple: order Huo Jixing to temporarily transfer the Leiser garrison to obey Swain's dispatch.

"Follow your will, my lord!" Huo Jixing saluted immediately.

This means that he has officially passed the observation of Cui Legislative Assembly and Swain, and will be exposed to core knowledge and intelligence.

Swain leaned back, his dark eyes falling on Huo Jixing, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth that was hard to distinguish.

"There is a secret mission that you need to carry out."

After saying that, Swain looked at the dark corner on the left hand side and spoke softly.

"Tailon, this is your partner for this secret mission. Let's get to know each other."

Huo Jixing was surprised when he heard this, and followed Swain's gaze to the dark corner.

At close range, his mental perception could not detect any breath of the other party, as if there was no one there.

Wait Tyrone?

Blade Shadow Talon?

Buzz!

The darkness flickered, and Tai Long, wearing a silver cloak and cold eyes, came out, looked at Huo Jixing, and said in a stiff tone.

"Tyrone!"

Huo Jixing took a step forward, stretched out his right hand, and said with a relaxed expression: "Huo Jixing, you can call me Xing!"

Tai Long looked at the right hand in front of him without any trace, and after hesitating for a moment, he reached out and held it lightly.

Seeing this, Huo Jixing said softly: "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

After Tai Lung finished speaking, he immediately returned to the dark corner, and his breath disappeared immediately.

It was indeed Tyrone. Huo Jixing sighed inwardly.

In the memory of his past life, Talon lived in the darkness of the underground tunnels of the Noxus capital as a child. Only the blade in his hand could bring him a sense of peace of mind and reliability.

He had no impression of family, warmth, or kindness.

In the damp and dark underground tunnel life, Tai Lung's current character was developed.

Emotionally indifferent, cold-hearted and cold-faced.

But it also created his mastery of blades.

Eventually becoming the weapon of General Du Couture, he survived as an envoy to the Noxian High Command.

At the same time, Tyrone's life changed with the disappearance of General Du Cacao.

In order to track down the whereabouts of General Du Couture, he began to serve the Imperial Command and Lord Swain of Noxus.

"Three days to prepare well." Swain withdrew his gaze and began to deal with the many matters at hand.

"Okay!" Huo Jixing saluted and replied, then left.

Late at night, dim candlelight flickered.

In the side hall of the palace, Swain was the only one still working at his desk.

As if he had finished handling the matters at hand, Swain moved his body and saw his left hand shrunk in the hem of his clothes.

"The terrifying talent of the protoss."

As his thoughts surged, he recalled all the intelligence information that Huo Jixing had received since arriving in the Noxus Empire.

Travel as a Wanderer to the North Border, to the Second Battle of the Freljord, and finally to the Ring of Fire show at Knox's Scalia Arena.

There are completely traceable traces, and we can see Huo Jixing's innocent identity.

"Darius is really lucky." Swain sighed.

Then he remembered the comments made by many generals in the empire about Advisor Trifari.

Only a ruthless and critical eye can select soldiers worthy of joining Trifari's army.

But Consultant Cui Fali can pick out a sheep from a group of wolves two kilometers away.

"Such an ability is truly impeccable."

Swain walked to the side hall, his eyes fell on Huo Jixing's residence, and there was a touch of envy and admiration in his eyes.

Throughout the history of Valoran, the terrifying talents of protoss are also very rare.

He turned to look at the capital city, and a fine red glow appeared in his dark eyes.

"The more I see, the more there is."

"Can the two selected sharp blades cut off the raging undercurrent within the empire?"

Time is like quicksand, fleeting.

In the training room, Huo Jixing stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself.

His handsome face remains the same, his lean and strong body is hidden in a linen robe, covered with purple inner armor, and a red fire blade hangs from his waist.

Looks like a Chamber of Commerce guard.

"It's okay." Huo Jixing was slightly satisfied.

During the three days of preparation, in addition to continuing to exercise every day, he also visited old friends.

Wilson, who is an advisor to the Trifari Legion, has followed Darius out of the capital.

But DeWitt and Korda stayed in the Noxian capital, and the two became idle capital guards.

Huo Jixing was about to carry out a secret mission and it was not convenient to meet him, so he just looked at him from a distance.

"Black Rose."

Huo Jixing's eyes moved slightly and he whispered to himself.

During the recent period, the black rose seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and there was no movement at all.

He had come into contact with himself earlier in the arena prison.

Now that he has shown the terrifying talent of the protoss, he is actually indifferent, which is quite strange.

Huo Jixing thought carefully, maybe because he felt there was no chance.

He himself was too close to Darius and Swain.

Otherwise, based on the protoss-like talent and extraordinary strength he showed after performing in the Ring of Fire in the Knox Scalia Arena.

Of course, I will get an invitation from Black Rose.

"Maybe it's a secret plot?"

Although Huo Jixing's current strength can easily face most troubles.

But black roses cannot be explained by trouble.

However, Huojixing is not under the care of Darius and Swain when he first came to Valoran.

He perfectly used the protoss-like talent to hide the existence of the data panel.

Then, through silent development that steals time, it brings a little surprise to Black Rose.

Huo Ji opened the door and was leaving when he saw the waiting sword boy Heini.

He reached out and rubbed Heini's little head, and said softly: "Look at home, I'll be away for a while and I'll be back soon."

Outside the Noxian capital.

Many fortresses and towns guard the central capital like satellites.

Near the edge, in a fortress crowded with people and caravans, a dark gray giant building stood in the center, with crimson imperial flags flying high on the left and right sides of the building.

The wide road built with flat rocks passes through the ethereal and rippled air vortex, and you can vaguely see the hazy scenery on the other side.

Huo Jixing, who had been disguised, looked at the huge door in front of him, his eyes filled with strange light.

【Noxtra】!

Portal to the Noxian Empire

Portals of black stone dug from the mountains surrounding the Noxian Empire's capital city, the Immortal Fortress, have risen on every road leading to the city.

In front of Noxtra, he saw Talon wearing a silver cloak and leaning against the wall.

It is different from the identity of the chamber of commerce guard that Huo Jixing pretended to be.

Talon invoked Noxtra as an envoy to the Noxian High Command.

Except for Swain, no one knew of Talon's whereabouts.

The two of them, one in the open and one in the dark, perform secret missions.

Huo Jixing nodded imperceptibly to Tai Lung, then followed the crowd and entered Noxtola first.
