The Glory of Noxus

Noxkaria Arena.

The scorching sun penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the dark gray walls.

Huo Jixing looked down at the majestic arena calmly, with densely packed seats, scattered all over the field of vision.

"Five days later, there will be a performance of the Ring of Fire."

Draven's eyes were shining, and he looked at the empty arena in front of him, with expectation in the corners of his eyes.

There are about 60 rows of seats in the audience seats in the Noxkaria Arena, which are staggered like steps, and the top layer of the audience seats is against the wall of the arena.

According to the design of the war stonemason, the total rising slope of the audience seats is close to 62 degrees, and the viewing conditions are very good.

"According to your suggestions and requirements, in order to maximize the benefits of the arena, the audience seats are divided into five areas in total."

Draven stretched out his right hand and drew a circle in the air, as if he saw the warm atmosphere of the next gladiatorial performance.

"The front area of ​​the audience has been transformed into an honorary seat."

"They are about five meters higher than the arena, so you can watch the performances in the arena from a close distance. Safety measures have been put in place."

"They are reserved for powerful people in the capital of Noxus."

"The middle area is for imperial officers, noble knights and other citizens of higher status."

"The last two areas are seats for the lower class."

"There is also a height difference of more than six meters between the lower audience seats and the knight seats. During the performance, there will be Noxian soldiers on duty to deal with riots."

Huo Jixing saw the unevenness of the audience seats and nodded slightly.

Although he seemed to be leisurely and doing nothing, he was inevitably a little worried about the crime of killing the nobles, and there was no specific news for a long time.

So, in order to fill up Draven's favorability.

In recent times, Huo Jixing has spared no effort to help Draven build a more professional Noxcaria Arena.

Just when he was talking to Draven.

There was a noise outside the Noxcaria Arena. A long team arrived at the arena from far away.

"Who are they?" Huo Jixing pointed at the prisoners outside and asked curiously.

The temperament of these new prisoners was obviously different from that of the liquidators in the arena.

They looked of high status and pampered.

Draven's eyes fell on Huo Jixing, with a smile on his lips, and he said softly: "They are nobles, so what do you think?"

Huo Jixing was silent for a few seconds, thinking about something. It seemed that the angry Darius had already taken action.

"These guys are self-righteous and think they can hide the pension."

Draven's eyes turned cold, and he looked at the miserable people outside the arena with a sinister look, staggering steps, and resentful expressions.

"But they underestimated the leaders of the Assassin's Guild."

After Swain's coup, the purge in the capital of Noxus, which had been suspended, was restarted again under Darius's tough attitude.

Many nobles and war group leaders became prisoners.

After Draven personally showed up, these prisoners entered the Noxcaria Arena and became liquidators.

Or, they became victims of the gladiatorial performance!

"About your problem, I guess there will be a result soon." Draven looked at Huo Jixing to comfort him, his eyes firm.

"But don't worry, we are here."

"The Noxus military will be your firm backing!"

The starry sky in the middle of winter was particularly bright, and the stars were shining on the Noxus capital, like a piece of black velvet covered with diamonds.

In the silent prison.

Huo Jixing sat on the ground with his knees crossed, his back straight, and the red-gold light flickered.

As if he had noticed something.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a touch of red-gold light infected his pupils.

"Who is it?" Huo Jixing shouted angrily.

In the dark cell, there was a slender figure covered in black robes, standing quietly like a sculpture, staring at Huo Jixing.

"Extraordinary power of fire, good skills." A whisper sounded.

"Spiritual perception. Very outstanding!"

Huo Jixing's eyes were solemn. He didn't know what means the person in front of him used to avoid the Noxian soldiers in the Noxcaria Arena and enter the heavily guarded prison.

"Are you ready to take the path of extraordinary skills?"

Clang!

Huo Jixing stood up, drew out the slender long knife at his waist, and covered his body with red-gold flames.

"Who are you?"

"Don't be hostile to us!"

The man in black robe looked at the burning flames in front of him, took a step back, and the black magic energy covered his body like a blooming flower.

"The more brilliant a person is, the easier it is to burn out the energy of life!"

"Are you interested in joining us?"

"We can guarantee that you will escape unscathed in tomorrow's trial."

Click!

In the dim cell, the red blade light was like lightning, slashing towards the man in black robe.

"Unfortunately, I came here with sincerity!"

Puff!

The black magic energy was like a bubble, which was destroyed as soon as it was slashed, and then turned into layers of mist, obscuring perception and covering the cell.

"Disappeared?"

Huo Jixing said in surprise, his red-gold eyes flashing.

Under the state of [Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Pupils], it was the first time he saw the target, and he disappeared so easily.

No matter how he watched, he could not see any clouds rising.

After hesitating for a while, Huo Jixing walked over with a long knife in his hand and looked cautious.

"What is this.?"

He lowered his eyes and saw a rose-like black mark remaining where the man in black robe disappeared.

With the biting cold wind blowing through the window, the black mark is slowly dissipating.

"Black rose?"

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered as he thought of the dark and corrupt power mentioned in the "Cui Fali Announcement"——

It looks like a lovely flower, but its roots are twisting and spreading in the dark.

"Rose is everywhere, rose is everywhere!"

Huo Jixing recalled Amorin's warning and whispered softly.

The existence time of the Black Rose has long been unknown.

But long before Brown Darkwill came to power, the Black Rose had been running the Noxian Empire from behind.

Even the greatest kings and heroes of Noxy's time were not spared.

Even dating back to the Rune Wars.

"And the trial tomorrow?"

Huo Jixing frowned. The man in black robe just mentioned his own information in his words.

"Show your strength?"

He put away his long knife and looked out the window at the stars in the sky.

This is information that Draven has never known.

"It's just that I am a little person, why do I attract your attention?"

Huo Jixing took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, and thought carefully.

Darius Creed Levine Wilson?

Or do you intend to intervene in this noble battle?

The memories of his previous life told him that the purpose of the existence of the Trifari Council was to lead the Noxus Empire to rise again and significantly weaken the influence of the nobles.

The one with the deepest and most intricate roots is the black rose.

noble!

"So, the purpose of finding me is to bury the thorns next to Darius?"

Huo Jixing suddenly laughed softly, looked out the window at the dark gray city wall under the stars, and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.

"But I can't stand you!"

The next morning, it was just getting dark.

In the silent prison, some chaotic footsteps echoed through the passage.

Wow!

The sound of iron chains sounded, the black iron door opened, and Draven walked in with a gloomy face.

"Um?"

When he saw Huo Jixing, who had been waiting for a long time, he looked confused.

"Let's go!"

Huo Jixing looked at the Noxian soldiers behind Draven, shook his head slightly, stretched out his hands, and put on the shackles.

Then under the leadership of Draven.

He walked out of the Knox Scalia Arena and walked towards the palace complex in the center of the Immortal Fortress.
