The Glory of Noxus

In a noisy tavern.

On the four or five simple date-red wooden tables, people exchanged glasses of wine and exchanged cups.

The rosy-cheeked Freljordians were looking at the two caravan guards who were arguing with interest.

When Huo Jixing heard the news about Olaf, he looked surprised and felt a little surprised in his heart.

But when I heard that Olaf brutally hacked to death the conscious incarnation of Volibear, I felt it was somewhat reasonable.

Winter's Claw tribe, Berserker Olaf.

On the frozen frozen plains of the Freljord, the berserker is far more than what he means.

It represents the invincible power of destruction.

Rumor has it that a berserker with a battle ax in his hand can make any enemy feel fearful and frightened.

Under the trajectory of fate, the berserker Olaf pursues his own destiny and challenges Sejuani and the Winter's Claw tribe.

Instead, he becomes the brutal enforcer of Winter's Claw, hoping to find his end in the coming war between the gods.

Huo Jixing came to an empty table in the corner and sat down with a glass of wine and a piece of bacon.

Here, he could listen carefully to the conversations of the Freljordians while maintaining a certain sense of distance.

Huo Jixing hid in the darkness, picked up the bacon on the dinner plate, put it in his mouth, and chewed it. The taste was very ordinary.

But he's not here to enjoy the food, but to get news.

Huo Jixing swallowed slowly and listened to the many noises and curses in the tavern.

These clan warriors and caravan guards who travel north and south are indeed very sensitive to many news.

He heard a lot of secret gossip about many tribes in the Freljord, including the Avarosa tribe and the Winter's Claw tribe.

The War Mother of the Avarosa Tribe, Ice Archer Ashe, led the Blood Alliance through the chaotic war and has already established an alliance in Rakstark.

Followed by many clans and blood pacts, Ashe hopes to regain the ancient territories belonging to the tribes and reunite the Freljord.

Some clan warriors said that the Winter's Claw tribe was able to persevere in the war, and their supplies may come from the Avarosa tribe.

It has been confirmed that Ashe and Sejuani were once sisters, but they had conflicts due to different ideas.

Now, due to the resurgence of Volibear and the emergence of old habits, the relationship between them has begun to ease.

"So, the Winter's Claw tribe and Sejuani have taken a breather?"

Huo Jixing lowered his eyes, thinking of the war with the Winter's Claw tribe at the northern border of the Noxus Empire.

"And with the help of the Avarosa tribe, we suppressed the resurgent Volibel and the wild tribe that followed him."

Huo Jixing secretly noted that after all, a Winter's Claw tribe with sufficient supplies was not what the Noxus Empire wanted to see.

The northern border of the empire has just stabilized and cannot fall into the quagmire of war again.

Huo Jixing's thoughts surged while listening to the noise in the tavern.

He couldn't help but recall the defeat of the Noxus Empire in the Ionian Islands, as well as the magical chaos within the Kingdom of Demacia that he had seen during this secret mission.

And now the chaos in Freljord caused by the resurrection of the immortal Thunder Volibear.

"In recent years, the situation in Valoran has been changing rapidly, and there seems to be a hidden force that is adding fuel to the flames."

Huo Jixing suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and terrifying thoughts with conspiracy theories emerged in his heart.

Then, he shook his head slightly to disperse the thoughts in his mind, picked up the strong wine on the table, and drank it in one gulp.

"Ok?"

After drinking low-quality spirits, Huo Jixing raised his brows slightly and felt a burning sensation emerging in his body. The fire of Nanli was faintly stimulated and appeared on the surface of his skin.

"The power of drink?"

Huo Jixing came to his senses immediately, and then he thought that this was the power of the Liusu Star, one of the Suzaku Constellations.

The eight-star curved head hangs down like a willow, and the three-star number near it is wine.

"Nanli's fire is extremely active, and the dark flame power in the body is faintly suppressed."

Huo Jixing closed his eyes and felt his body carefully. At the abdominal wound, he saw the power of the dark flame that was unwilling to give up despite the complete suppression of Nanli's fire.

After a while.

Huo Jixing opened his eyes, a flash of red-gold light disappeared, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

“What an unexpected bonus!”

After he continued to stay in the tavern for a while, he got up immediately after hearing no useful news.

Huo Jixing pushed open the thick wooden door and was greeted by the biting cold wind.

Looking at the ice and snow buildings around him, he walked out of the tavern and returned to the clothing store.

In order not to attract attention, the clothing store was open as normal, but the business was much worse and there were no people around.

I heard that the caravan that entered Ningshuang Port yesterday brought a lot of scarce goods, causing panic buying.

"My lord!" Thierry, wearing a felt hat, came over and saluted.

"Heard anything useful?"

The tavern is located near the clothing store. When night falls, Thierry will often go to the tavern to sit.

"It's not bad, pay more attention to the news about the Winter's Claw tribe." Huo Jixing's eyes fell to the east, thinking of Sejuani's power.

When Thierry heard this, his expression became slightly solemn, indicating that he understood.

As the person in charge of the Lesser Guard Secret Office, he was still relatively concerned about the previous wars on the northern border of the empire.

When many fronts in the empire failed or fell into the quagmire of war, only General Darius's Northland Front would deliver some exciting news.

The names of the Winter's Claw tribe and War Mother Sejuani spread throughout the empire.

"Wait a while and arrange for someone to buy some drinks. High and low alcohol. Prepare more. I need it urgently." Huo Jixing ordered.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements immediately."

Thierry nodded quickly, turned around and went to the backyard to arrange for the personnel of the Reiser Guard Secretariat to purchase it.

In the silent room, the smell of strong alcohol filled the air.

Huo Jixing was sitting on a wooden chair, with drinks of different degrees in front of him, including rice wine, spirits, and very pure alcohol.

Huo Jixing was tasting them one by one, and at the same time felt the changes in the Nanli Fire in his body.

Finally, his eyes fell on the strong drink on his right, which had the most significant effect.

Then Huo Jixing looked at the alcohol and thought to himself.

The star of Liusu in the Suzaku constellation has a certain degree of recognition of drinks, which is very strange.

Huo Jixing left, opened the door, saw Thierry waiting, and ordered him to buy the liquor he chose.

in the following time.

Huo Jixing stayed at Ningshuang Port, healing his wounds with the help of liquor, while also waiting for the opportunity to leave.

Occasionally, he and Catalina would leave the clothing store and wander around the city.

The injuries Xin Zhao had left on Katarina gradually healed, and all her strength was restored.

However, during this period of time, Huo Jixing heard the names of the Avarosa tribe and War Mother Ai Xi more and more frequently.

It seems that someone's will is sweeping across the Freljord, attracting countless clans to defect to it.
