The Glory of Noxus

"Confirm?"

Lux walked on the flat street holding Xinghuo, her sea-blue eyes looking at Huo Jixing beside her.

"The black mist will appear on time at night." Huo Jixing's eyes were fixed and his expression was magnanimous.

"And the town of Forsbarrow has become an isolated town. You can only enter but not leave."

Lux, who arrived at dusk yesterday, must have experienced small town nights and nightmares.

Lux frowned upon hearing this, thinking of last night's experience, looking back at the Flamebringer Temple, her heart sank.

Arrive in front of the iron city gate of the town.

Lux turned around and gave orders to the soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia who were following them.

"You don't need to come. Huo Jixing and I will be responsible for the investigation outside the city."

In the conversation just now, Lux and Huo Jixing had already known each other's names and had some exchanges of magic abilities.

"Miss Crownguard, how can this be done?" The Demacian Kingdom soldier in charge of the sentry tower immediately stepped forward and looked at Huo Jixing with wary eyes.

"You need to guard the town of Forsbarrow to prevent the black magician from coming back again." Lux spoke in a solemn voice, unable to refuse.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia had to obey the order and stay in front of the city gate.

In the wild mountain forests, the air is filled with the fragrance of pine trees and wild flowers.

This is a gift from the mountains of the north, a gift from the Freljord's icy weather.

The warm sunshine at noon passes through the canopy of the coniferous forest and casts mottled light spots at an angle.

However, the permeating smell of earth reminded Lux ​​of the scene in yesterday's nightmare, and she couldn't help but feel cold in her heart, agreeing with Huo Jixing's words.

Lux rode Starfire and rode slowly. She seemed to think of something and glanced at Huo Jixing beside her.

This guy's speed seemed very slow, but he always followed her, and he looked so relaxed, which made her feel wary.

Although she recruited Huo Jixing in the name of the Crown Guard family, she could not completely trust him.

Lux continued to travel along the trade road, and the winding mountain road extended to the north.

While running, Lux held the reins with one hand and raised her other hand high, touching the sunlight above her head. The feeling of her fingertips stirred the magic in her body.

This is Lux’s ability——

The power of refraction!

Lux allowed the magic power to flow out, and the light deep inside her body and mind was like a elixir, gradually spreading throughout her body.

For a few moments, magic filled her senses, lighting up her world, and the colors in the forest became unusually bright and vibrant.

She saw small balls of light floating in the air, and heard the breathing of trees and the sigh of the earth.

The world in front of us is so incredible, and all living things are full of vitality in the runoff of energy, whether it is nameless grass or thick iron birch trees.

People say that the roots of the Iron Birch tree go deep into the ground and can even reach the heart of the world.

Lux rode and ran in the colorful forest.

Huo Jixing followed silently.

After traveling about a kilometer, Lux and Huo Jixing saw the cold corpse of the demon-stained person on the side of the road.

Before leaving last night, Huo Jixing did not dispose of the body because he was afraid of the nightmare in the black fog, but all the things had been taken away.

Lux quickly dismounted and walked forward to search carefully. After finding nothing, her sea-blue eyes fell vaguely on Huo Jixing.

"The aura of the demon-stained person is very similar to the aura in the room. It should be the same person." Lux spoke in a solemn voice.

"Then what do we choose now?" Huo Jixing remained calm, but in his heart he was amazed at Lux's ability.

The abilities displayed by this Crown Guard lady far exceed the descriptions in her past life memories.

"Continue forward, or return to Forsbarrow?"

Lux rode Starfire without saying a word and set off again.

After a while, an intersection appeared in front of the rugged road.

Lux tightened her grip on the reins, bringing Starfire to a stop.

If I remember correctly, the road on the left leads to a lumberjack town in my memory.

The road on the right descends to the west, leading to a residential area built around a rich silver mine.

Lux's father had some shares in the mine, and her favorite cloak pin was made from the silver mined deep in the mine.

There is a small path between the two main roads, which is almost covered with weeds and is only wide enough to pass alone or on foot.

"How should we go?" Lux's eyes fell on Huo Jixing.

Although she had made a choice in her heart, she needed to verify her guess.

Huo Jixing shook his head slightly when he heard this and looked around at the dark forest.

He was recruited by the Crownguard family, but that didn't mean he would follow Lux's will.

The identities represented by the two are naturally on opposite sides.

Moreover, this area was far away from the town of Forsbarrow, and it was a place he had never been to last night.

But deep in Huo Jixing's heart, curiosity arose.

In the memory of the past life, the radiant girl Lux mastered the power of refraction.

Can the power of light naturally restrain the remaining demonic power in this forest?

Or is the devil's power weakened to the greatest extent during the day?

"Let's go this way." Lux followed her heart and chose the confirmed path.

And the path she chose was not just any path.

Lux herself couldn't explain why she had an aversion to these roads, especially the middle road where she said she was going to pay homage to her great-grandfather's grave.

Lux thought of the buttered bread she ate, the smell of grave earth.

Is it my great-grandfather’s grave?

Lux suppressed her inner doubts. This time she came to Forsbarrow Town, and she didn't need to go there.

Because what she said about going to pay homage to her great-grandfather's grave was just a set of words.

Lux closed her eyes and stretched her hand sideways, letting the magic ripple on her fingertips and flicker on the top of the golden cane.

She took a deep breath, the cool air filling her heart and mind, and the refraction of the forest began to speak to her.

The light of the forest speaks of the opposition of light and dark, of flashing colors and dancing light.

Lux felt the distant starlight coming like mist. These starlights spread in other worlds and illuminated other lives.

Where Demacia's light fades into darkness, she shrinks; where light nourishes life, she comforts.

Lux turned left and right in the saddle, with a keen sense far beyond that of most other mortals.

She is searching for the power that hangs over the land like a curse.

Far above the forest, the blazing sun almost reached its highest point at noon.

Lux frowned, because the forest's refraction was trembling.

She instantly realized that the shadow appeared in a place where it did not belong, and the deep darkness was hidden in the place where there should be only light.

Her breathing stopped suddenly, as if someone had strangled her neck.

A wave of sleepiness swept over her body, and her eyelids couldn't stop fighting, becoming increasingly unable to open, as if she was being forcibly dragged into a sober sleep.
