The Glory of Noxus.

On the gorgeous stage, bright and colorful lights interweave to the beat of the music.

The ribbons hanging down like waterfalls flutter on the dome, painted with colorful patterns, bringing the audience into a magical world of music.

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

The delicate white jade-like face was covered with fine beads of sweat, which stuck the messy pink hair at the temples together.

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

"This is the last song. It's a new song I wrote recently. I hope you like it!"

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

Talking about 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, impress the audience with your singing." A kind voice came from the Hextech crystal device.

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

It is conscious and was born from the blood of the Shell People.

In the lonely nights of the past, Seraphine often listened to the sound of the hextech crystal alone.

It will sing hymns about distant deserts and the struggles of ancient ancestors, singing in harmony thousands of years of history.

Those ancient and beautiful melodies and mysterious lyrics intoxicated Seraphine and awakened 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 sides at that time.

"Well, I will succeed!"

Seraphine closed her eyes and moved her white-gloved index finger slightly, turning off the suppression function of the Hextech crystal device and entering the sound diffusion function.

All of a sudden!

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

She can hear the audience's anticipation, excitement, nervousness and desire.

These sounds blend together to form a wonderful musical symphony.

As the audience roared and the lights flashed, Seraphine became the master of all sounds, controlling them, directing them, and using them to her advantage.

"Each city has its own song, too, and 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 just about mutual understanding and spiritual communication, but also about unity and solidarity.

Maybe this song isn’t perfect.

It may never be perfect.

But it pours into Seraphine’s many emotions and experiences, making her voice meaningful.

"let's start!"

“A melody that touches 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 leaped in the air.

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

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

The clear singing voice flows in everyone's heart like a spring, washing away their inner fatigue and anxiety.

[Amplify the beat]!

【Gather your voices】!

As the music rises, Seraphine recalls what she saw and heard in Piltover and Zaun.

The bustling and noisy port, the sweaty boatmen, the sharp and piercing noises of elevators, and the lingering smog.

It is the fear and disgust towards the omnipotence of the Chem-Baron, and the hatred towards the pretentious arrogance of the Skinks in Upper Town.

There are too many discordant sounds in the air, ready to burst out.

Suddenly!

The beat of the music suddenly speeds up, 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 musical darling surrounded by magical light.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause and cheers broke out and did not stop for a long time.

Seraphine opened her eyes, looked around at the excited audience in the arena, and realized 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 the charming Seraphine on the stage, his eyes sparkling.

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

Based on his own perception of what he heard, he vaguely understood what Seraphine wanted to convey—

It's unity!

Huo Jixing came back to his senses and thought about Seraphine's birth. He began to understand the meaning of this new song.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of a hero!

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

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

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

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

From time to time, there would be some discussions praising Seraphine's singing skills.

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

Inside the top floor box.

Gorgeous decorations and soft lighting create a cozy atmosphere.

Jarl sat in the corner of the box, observing the conversation between Huo Jixing and Katarina, his heart full of confusion.

After the concert, there was a banquet hosted by the Medarda family, held in the arena.

And he was not sure whether Huo Jixing and Katarina were interested in participating.

After thinking about it, he took into account the interests of the Midalda family, shamelessly stepped forward and asked.

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

Huo Jixing was originally ready to take Katarina away, but when he heard Jarl's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Jarl.

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

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

As for him, there would definitely be no problem, after all, he and Jarl have always had a good relationship.

But Catalina's situation is different.

As an imperial general, her every word and action now represents the Du Kecao family, and she has to consider things more comprehensively.

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

"Then let's go and take a look." Huo Jixing made the decision immediately.

When Jiaer heard Huo Jixing's answer, the confusion in his heart disappeared and a hint of joy crept into his heart.

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

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

He understood what kind of impact the appearance of Huo Jixing 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 handled the impact of the Black Rose incident.

But it still caused some aftermath and caused unrest among some Noxian citizens.

The Knoxcaria 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 plan future strategic plans and prepare to launch all-round cooperation with Piltover and Zaun.

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 target in Piltover.

Their excellent business acumen and trade channels across the continent were what the empire needed.

But amidst all the actions, Jagu and Jarl saw many uncertainties.

By hosting this concert, they are not only demonstrating the strength of the Midalda family, but also showing off their own connections.

Even so, in the eyes of the upper class of the Noxian Empire, the Midalda family is ultimately just a merchant family.

No matter how much wealth they have, they cannot change their identity.

In the Noxian Empire, nobles and warlords have the highest status.

The merchant families are just their white gloves for manipulating interests, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot get rid of such a label.

Jia Gu also saw this, so he arranged for Jiaer to come over and try hard to maintain his relationship with Huo Jixing.

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

His position of power is comparable to that of the three people on the Trifaree Council.

If the Midalda family can continue to take advantage of the momentum in this concert, they will get unimaginable rewards.

In the banquet hall of the Colosseum.

Glass chandeliers hung above the dome like stars, and magical lights dotted around illuminated the spacious banquet hall.

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

The guests were dressed in gorgeous gowns and scattered in groups of three or five in the banquet hall, some standing, some sitting, some talking, and some laughing.

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

Suddenly!

There were bursts of noise.

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

Among them were many famous imperial nobles and warlord leaders.

They usually act high and mighty, but at this moment they cannot hide their curiosity and awe towards Huo Jixing and Katarina.

Even with their identities, it is difficult to see Huo Jixing and Katarina.

But now I see it at the banquet.

Most importantly, these two do not often appear in public like this.

Every time they appear, people will talk about it.

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

The guests began to whisper, speculating on the purpose of their presence and whether there would be any special announcements or demonstrations.

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

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

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

The fact that he was able to invite such important people as Huo Jixing and Katarina to the task undoubtedly confirmed the rumors.

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

In the corner of the banquet hall, Huo Jixing was chatting with Draven, and Katarina sat quietly beside them, occasionally speaking.

"This is Seraphine!"

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

Huo Jixing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Seraphine, who was pure and lovely without any makeup.

But he had experience, so he just glanced casually and then turned his gaze back to Catalina.

"This is Lord Huo Jixing, Lord Draven, and General Katarina." Jarl turned to look at Seraphine and introduced them softly.

Seraphine seemed to be very familiar with such scenes, and she bowed slightly to Huo Jixing and the others gracefully.

Then she stopped where she was and didn't rush over.

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

The Glorious Executioner's killing performances are very popular in Noxus, and every public execution is the Noxian people's favorite show.

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

Although the scene is a bit bloody, it is undeniable that Draven has blended the two elements of excitement and killing seamlessly, showing a heart-pounding artistic beauty.

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

Then he took Seraphine away to greet other guests.

The imperial nobles and warlord leaders, who had not been very fond of Jarl before, now changed their attitude and invited him into the circle.

Time passes gradually.

Tonight's banquet is undoubtedly important for the Midalda family and Jarl.

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

As the dinner ended, the guests slowly left.

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

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

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

Especially with a terrifying behemoth like the Noxian Empire nearby.

Huo Jixing and Katarina appeared at the banquet, which could be said to be helping the Midalda family.

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

The dim moonlight fell on the street, casting two long black shadows.

"Don't you want to see the gifts?" Catalina said with a smile, snuggling in Huo Jixing's arms.

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

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

Before leaving the banquet, Jarl brought him a generous gift.

Without opening it, he knew through his spiritual perception that it contained three magic rune items of good quality.

Under the stars at night, they walked slowly forward, enjoying each other's company and the quietness of the night.

"Want to come to my place?" Catalina stood at the crossroads with a charming look in her eyes.
