The Glory of Noxus

Fosbyro Town.

The warm summer wind blows.

The dark sky in the north suddenly lights up, just like a new rising sun, bringing light.

Garen stood in the market square with a giant sword in his hand. The demon warriors all around him had been eliminated.

Just as Garen was guarding, a warm breeze blew past him, like the dawn in the middle of the night, driving away all the black fog.

After a while, a small sound rang out in the market square.

The unconscious townspeople began to wake up slowly, looking confused and at a loss.

"What's going on?"

Saibato stared at everything that happened in front of him, his eyes surprised.

"It's Lux."

Garen looked at the wilderness of the town and saw the light gradually disappearing and the red flames that dimmed in an instant.

"And... the infected!"

Hearing Garen's slightly low voice, Saibato and others looked at each other and kept silent in tacit understanding.

In the Kingdom of Demacia, no matter when and where, the word "demon infected" is a taboo word.

Dada! Dada! Dada!

After waiting for a short time, Garen saw Lux riding the Starfire back, with her long golden hair rippling in the air.

The two met at the entrance of the square, looked at each other, and fell into silence.

Beside them were the awakened townspeople, who were in low spirits and had obvious guilt.

Although they did not remember what happened after Garen's execution, they knew that they had pushed a person to death.

"It's time to go back." Garen lowered his eyes and looked at the ground.

He clearly noticed the changes in Lux, but now he did not want to face these things, nor did he want to let himself keep this idea for too long.

The current Kingdom of Demacia is in a difficult period.

The many tribes in the northern Freljord and the Noxus Empire in the east are still using the power of the black magicians inside to shake every inch of the kingdom's territory.

"Let's go together." Lux spoke softly when she saw the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion leading their war horses.

The black magic incident caused by the Tomb of Fossian is far from as simple as it seems.

Lux got some information and needed to return to Mithril City to deal with everything.

As for the aftermath of Fossbyro Town, Sister Pernilla of the Temple of the Lightbringer will be responsible for it.

Judge Giselle said that Lux had no right to judge and would hand it over to Mithril City.

Mithril City.

This is a majestic city standing in the northwest region of the Kingdom of Demacia.

From a distance, Mithril City is like a shining crown among the mountains, standing on the top of the rocky highlands.

The city is dominated by gray and white, and the buildings are undulating and of different heights.

The stone of each building is taken from the nearby highlands, with its own unique style and design, showing the special charm of Mithril City.

The tallest and most magnificent building is the castle of the Crown Guard family, like a sword representing justice and glory, soaring into the sky and guarding this land.

In the center of the city, there is a winding river.

It surrounds the city, and the clear river reflects the shadows of many buildings in Mithril City, and then pours down from the hillside, the water falls like a ribbon, creating a magnificent waterfall.

In the southeast corner of the city, there is a quiet hotel.

Huo Jixing leaned against the window sill, closed his eyes and listened to the roaring waterfall, looking contented.

After leaving Fosbyro Town, he went east and came directly to Mithril City.

It must be said that Mithril City is worthy of being the center of the North.

The prosperous scene here is comparable to the capital of Noxus.

Cry! Cry! Cry!

Suddenly, bursts of sharp and bright eagle cries sounded.

Huo Jixing opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

It happened to see a Demacia dragon bird flapping its wings and soaring between the clouds, leaving white ripples.

These Demacia dragon birds are like pure metal sculptures, shining brightly.

Silver-gray armor wings decorate their slender bodies, and light gray scales cover their inverted triangle wings, with dim patterns flashing sharp cold light.

As their wings flapped, the Demacia dragon birds disappeared into the mountains.

Rumor has it that the nests of Demacia dragon birds are built on remote frozen peaks, and they like to soar among the clouds.

As for whether it is true or not, only the Crown Guard family knows.

"Tsk tsk, it is worthy of being the city of dragon birds!"

Huo Jixing sighed in his heart as he looked at the Demacia dragon birds escaping into the clouds.

The huge bodies of Demacia dragon birds alone are not something that ordinary war groups can deal with.

If they are equipped with fully armed dragon bird knights, perhaps the extraordinary people who have stepped into the realm of heroes will also have an unusual headache.

Creak!

Huo Jixing pushed open the window, lowered his eyes, and looked at the flat street paved with gray and white rocks.

As far as the eye can see, the people of Demacia are like surging tides, walking in the streets and alleys in a busy and orderly manner.

They are either hurrying on their way, or stopping to talk, or quietly admiring the beauty of the city.

Everyone's face is filled with satisfied and happy smiles, as if this city is the paradise in their hearts.

However, the current Mithril City is under martial law.

Although it will not affect the prosperity of the city, there are soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia patrolling day and night at intersections and key locations to prevent people from making trouble.

"Martial law?"

Huo Jixing saw the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia patrolling outside, and he had something in mind.

When he left the Tomb of Fosian, he had mentioned to Lux that this black magic incident might be a trap.

And now this situation has occurred.

Lux and Garen must have returned to Mithril City secretly and were observing the situation in secret.

Knock! Knock!

There was a quick knock on the door.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, turned to open the door, and saw Dawn Bent standing at the door.

"There is urgent news."

Dawn spoke in a deep voice, his expression slightly solemn, holding an opened letter in his hand.

Huo Jixing took the letter, took out the letter casually, and scanned the contents recorded on it.

[Garen Crown Guard was accidentally trapped in Fosbyro Town while performing a mission, and the Crown Guard family was preparing to send the Demacia Warband over. ]

"Are they going to take action so soon?" Huo Jixing whispered in his heart.

In just two or three days, Lux and Garen had already begun to lay out their plans, spreading smoke bombs to disrupt everyone's sight.

Huo Jixing put away his thoughts, looked at Dawn, and asked: "What did Silas say? Can we contact him?"

When Huo Jixing came to Miyin City, he went there secretly according to the information provided by the infected demon a few days ago.

But he found that the place was empty and there was no trace left.

For this reason, they had to contact Silas again.

And Dawn Bent was the person in charge of the Raiser Guard Secret Station arranged by the Noxus Empire in Miyin City.

"I can't contact him for the time being." Dawn shook his head lightly, hesitated for a while, and spoke in a concentrated voice.

"Now there are still two days before the agreed time. If we can't contact him, should we take action?"

Huo Jixing looked to the north and saw the mountains, his eyes flashing: "Silas can't be trusted."

"In Fosbyro Town, he violated our agreement and intended to drag Noxus into the quagmire."

"We must be careful."

Dawn heard this and looked at Huo Jixing deeply.

Who would have thought that there would be demonic power remaining in the Tomb of Fosian, but Huo Jixing escaped unscathed from this black magic incident.

He couldn't help but think of the news from the Supreme Command of the Empire before, and he respected Huo Jixing in his heart.

"Arrange people to wait at the exit of the mountain in the north of the Kingdom of Demacia." Huo Jixing thought for a while and ordered.

"No matter where they start from, they must pass through the exit of the mountain to enter the range of Mithril City."

In the intelligence information of the Secret Guard of Reiser, Silas realized that his strength was insufficient.

Then he took his confidants and crossed the northern mountains to the frozen tundra of Freljord to seek new allies.

Now Silas has returned to the Kingdom of Demacia, which means that he has found his allies.

Then their route back will definitely not bypass the northern mountains.

Huo Jixing recalled the complex situation in the mountains and was a little curious in his heart. How did Silas and his men avoid the vanguard sentinels all over the mountains?

Or was there someone in Mithril City who helped them disrupt the situation in the north of the Kingdom of Demacia?

"Okay." Dawn replied and made hasty arrangements.

Looking at Dawn's departing back, Huo Jixing closed the door, took out the intelligence information that Dawn had sent before, and browsed it again.

Most of the information collected by the Secret Guard of Reiser was about the Secret Silver City and the Crown Guard Family.

A small part of it was about the Demacia capital.

And among all the information, what caught his attention the most was that Jarvan IV had been unable to inherit the throne!

This was different from the coup launched by Swain.

Jarvan IV was the only heir to the throne of Demacia, and he had the support of the Crown Guard Family behind him.

Even so, he still could not ascend the throne and could only handle the affairs of the kingdom as a prince.

In addition, there was a rumor whose authenticity could not be confirmed.

The death of Jarvan III may have something to do with the Liberator Silas.

"Very interesting." Huo Jixing tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and his thoughts came to mind.

The magic quagmire of the Kingdom of Demacia is much deeper than imagined.

The supreme throne, the aristocratic forces that are fighting internally, and Silas who intends to destroy the kingdom.

"And... the prison where the mages are imprisoned."

Huo Jixing looked out the window, looking at the rolling mountains, thinking about his secret mission.

After Silas fled the Demacia capital and came to the Silver City, he contacted Dawn through secret channels.

He wanted to seek the power of the Noxus Empire to break through the prison in the Silver City.

On the one hand, it was to win over more exiled mages, and on the other hand, it was to make the Freljord and the Demacia Kingdom go to war again.

"Hey, you're setting me up, right?"

Huo Jixing put down the parchment scroll in his hand, and his mind became active.

He is not a generous person, and believes in revenge.

Since Silas has triggered the remaining nightmare power in Fosbyro Town, putting him in a desperate situation, then don't blame him for completely muddying the water.

Bringing his allies, intending to break through the prison in the Silver City?

I will bring you some surprises. Huo Jixing thought secretly.

The top of Misilver City, the Crownguard family castle.

After resting, Lux's flawless face was radiant, and her long golden hair fell on her shoulders.

She walked along the corridor of the family castle, looking at the familiar environment in the old house, and her memories surged.

Laxana Crownguard, is her name, but she prefers others to call her Lux.

When she was very young, she still remembered that she and her brother Garen grew up in this old house. They were born into the noble Crownguard family, and their duties to defend the Kingdom of Demacia were inherited from generation to generation.

Their grandfather had saved the king’s life at the Battle of Storm’s Fang, and their aunt, Tiyana Crownguard, had been appointed commander of the Dauntless Vanguard before Lux was born.

Lux remembered that when she was six or seven, her brother Garen had already taken on the family’s duties and joined the Demacia legion.

After he left home, Lux, under the arrangement of her mother, hoped to manage the family’s various properties.

Even at that young age, she had begun to hate this task.

Lux wanted to explore the world, to explore what was beyond the walls and borders of Demacia.

She admired Garen, but faced with Garen’s stubbornness to persuade her to give up her ambition, Lux was full of complaints.

Until a change of fate, Lux accidentally awakened the torrent of magic deep in her body.

The power of refraction!

But she could only tremble in fear and nightmares.

Magic, the terrifying existence in Demacia’s mythology, is as much a part of her as the bloodline of the Crownguard.

Fortunately, the identity of the Crownguard allowed her to avoid many things.

Lux began to conduct secret experiments, playing with the sun in the courtyard, bending the light into a solid shape, and even creating a shining human figure in the palm of her hand.

Until the end, Lux was determined to keep this secret and hide her ability as much as possible.

Clang! Clang!

Lux ​​came to the end of the corridor and heard the sound coming from the castle training ground.

Garen was training with Diadoru and others.

It was called training, but in fact Garen was sparring with them, one against four, and had the upper hand.

Lux stayed at the edge of the training place and looked at Garen in the field, her sea blue eyes flashing.

She saw a flame of revenge from Garen.

Garen joined the Fearless Vanguard Corps very early with his own efforts, and was the most talented person in the Fearless Vanguard Corps.

The title of having the power of Demacia.

But the past he wanted to protect died in an accident.

The enemy is unknown, but it can be confirmed that it is related to the Demon Infector.

Lux sighed inwardly. After leaving the Silver City and going to the Demacia capital, she truly saw the diversity of the world and its history.

Rather than the knowledge instilled by many tutors in the Silver City.

Lux now knows that the Demacia way of life is not the only way. She sees her love for her motherland with her clear eyes.

At the same time, she also sees her hope for the future.

At least magic will no longer be a taboo in the Kingdom of Demacia!

"What's the matter?"

Garen, who had finished his training, shouldered the giant sword and walked towards Lux, with fine sweat all over his resolute face.

"I received news that the Liberator Silas has returned from Freljord, and I don't know where he is going yet." Lux's eyes flickered and she spoke softly.

"The black magic incident in Fosbyro may be related to him."

Garen's eyes condensed, his expression cold: "Are you sure it's Silas?"

When he mentioned this name, he was like tasting poison, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

Since Jarvan III died unexpectedly, he has been hunting for Silas, but this guy is very cunning and has disappeared from everyone's sight many times.

And the reason why Garen returned to Mithril City was because he heard some rumors about Silas.

"It can be confirmed." Lux nodded lightly, but the figure of Huo Jixing emerged in his heart.

It was because of his reminder that the first thing Lux did when he returned to Mithril City was to conduct an in-depth investigation of the black magic incident in Fosbyro Town.

From this, he noticed the existence of the infected and Silas behind him.

"What does he want to do by appearing near Mithril City?"

Garen looked at the rolling mountains, thinking of the many things that had happened recently, and sensed that a storm was coming.
