The Glory of Noxus.

The capital of Noxus.

Huo Jixing was walking on the flat official road with Anne and Gregory.

Compared to when he was in Snow Ridge Town, Gregory's health was much better. He could already walk on his own, and his pale face was full of blood.

The loss of energy and energy was also compensated to a certain extent under Huo Jixing's treatment.

When entering the inner city.

Huo Jixing's eyes fell on the notice board on the right side of the city gate. A wanted portrait was hanging in a prominent position.

It was a man in steel armor holding a huge blunt-tipped spear and riding a magical beast.

"Are you still wanted?"

Huo Jixing had doubts in his heart, but he kept walking and led Annie and Gregory into the inner city smoothly.

The bustling scene of the capital came into Anne and Gregory's vision.

The widened street is lined with shops and pedestrians, and the bustling scene is fully displayed.

The two of them looked at the surrounding environment with curious eyes, observing the largest city in the Noxus Empire.

Anne was attracted by the costumes of the people in the capital. She was dazzled by the exquisite dresses and gorgeous accessories.

Gregory was more interested in the buildings on both sides of the street. The memories of the past came back, but they became unrecognizable.

He also noticed the differences between the people in the capital and the people living on the northern frontier.

People here are full of hope for their future life, and their behavior and speech reveal confidence and calmness.

After wandering all the way, Huo Jixing led Annie and Gregory to his three-story building.

This small building is not very big, but it has a reasonable layout, exquisite decoration, and a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Squeak!

Huo Jixing opened the door and let the two of them walk in.

"You stay here first, and I will apply for the capital certificate for you later."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Henie, who was resting upstairs, came down.

He first looked at Huo Jixing, with a surprised smile on his face, and then looked at Anne and Gregory.

"Lord Huo Jixing, why did you come back so soon this time?" Heini looked a little surprised.

"The mission went relatively smoothly."

Huo Jixing nodded to Heini and gave instructions.

"Go and clear out a few empty houses for guests. They will stay here recently."

"Ok."

Hainie didn't ask any more questions and nodded.

There are many empty rooms in the small building. After a little tidying up, you can live in them directly.

Dusk.

Huo Jixing asked Heini to prepare a sumptuous dinner to celebrate life in the capital with Anne and Gregory.

Time passes slowly.

The next morning.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and softly filled the room.

Huo Jixing seemed to realize something and ended his long meditation practice.

As soon as he reached the stairs, he heard laughter coming from downstairs.

I saw Annie, who had gotten up early, hugging Tibbers and having a great time playing with the snow-white Poro.

"Uncle Huo Jixing!"

When Annie saw Huo Jixing coming downstairs, she greeted him obediently.

Her little face was filled with a happy smile, and her eyes were shining brightly.

The tortured snow-white Poro ran over and looked at Huo Jixing pitifully.

Huo Jixing didn't care. It was the little guy who wanted to sleep with Annie last night.

Seemingly understanding what Huo Jixing meant, the little guy screamed aggrievedly, as if admitting his mistake.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Huo Jixing looked up at Annie and pinched her face.

"Well, it's very safe!"

Annie nodded excitedly.

"Snow White Poro is so interesting. We played a lot of games together last night. He also taught me how to communicate with him!"

Huo Jixing looked a little surprised after hearing this. This little guy actually taught Annie how to communicate with it.

It seems that we are getting along very happily during this time.

Huo Jixing left the hall, strolled to the door, and opened it.

I happened to see the soldiers of the Reese Guard Corps walking over wearing purple armor.

Looking at Huo Jixing who opened the door, the soldiers of Leise Guard Corps looked surprised, but they still maintained their courtesy and showed the token in their hands.

"Commander Swain summoned you and Anne in the audience hall."

Huo Jixing nodded slowly, indicating that he already knew.

After conveying the order, the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps turned and left.

Huo Jixing was not surprised by Swain's summons.

On the way back to the capital, he had already reported what happened in Xueling Town.

Including an unexpected encounter with the Devil's Embrace Evelyn and members of the Black Rose.

Huo Jixing turned back, and Annie came over holding the snow-white Poro.

"Uncle Huo Jixing, can we go to the capital after breakfast?"

"No, we have something to do later." Huo Jixing squatted down.

"Go see Commander Swain!"

"Commander Swain?"

Gregory just walked downstairs and looked surprised when he heard this.

"um, yes."

Huo Jixing and Gregory explained that they would take Anne to the audience hall later.

He hurriedly finished the breakfast prepared by Heini.

At Gregory's urging, Huo Jixing carried Annie to the Immortal Fortress.

On the stairs of triumph.

Annie stretched out her right hand and hugged Huo Jixing's neck tightly, while her left hand held Tibbers.

Her eyes curiously observed the steps and the soldiers of the Trifali Legion guarding them on both sides.

When she arrived in front of the audience hall, she seemed to feel an inexplicable aura, and she hugged Huo Jixing's right hand with some strength.

Anne was too young to understand what Swain represented.

In other words, she is also ignorant of the Trifari Council and the Empire.

It was her father, Gregory's excitement and embarrassment that made her nervous.

"fine."

Huo Jixing reached out to touch Annie's nervous little face and said comfortingly.

Entering the audience hall, bright yellow candles lit up on both sides, lighting up the spacious hall.

Swain has been waiting for a long time.

Hearing the footsteps, he raised his face and stared at Huo Jixing and Annie.

Most of his attention fell on Anne and Tibbs in her arms.

Because of the existence of Huojixing, the fire demon Tybok in Tibos had to fall into a deep sleep.

This way he can avoid Huo Jixing's prying eyes.

But now, while he was sleeping, he sensed a familiar demonic aura and woke up instantly.

"Devil Raum?"

Taibok opened his button eyes and looked in the direction he sensed, a strange change appeared on his face.

"Wait. No, you are not Raum, but your breath"

Swain didn't care about Tyback's inspection and walked down the steps with a smile.

He walked up to Huo Jixing, stared at Taibok, and spoke softly.

"As expected, it's you, Fire Demon Tybok."

"Once the pet of Iron-Armored Wraith Mordekaiser."

Annie hugged Huo Jixing tightly and looked into Swain's eyes, feeling very scared and nervous.

When Huo Jixing heard what Swain said, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Iron-armored Wraith Mordekaiser?

His eyes fell on Tibbers, and he didn't expect that the fire demon hidden inside would be Mordekaiser's pet.

"What are you going to do?"

Tybok looked at the old arm stretched out by Swain, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Annie, come on, don't let him take me!"
