The Glory of Noxus

Mithril City, Tranquility Hotel.

Huo Jixing returned secretly and was studying the rune items he had just obtained in his room.

"Alas, the rune attributes are a little bad."

Huo Jixing fiddled with the runes in his hands and sighed softly.

I worked hard for several days, but the results I got were unsatisfactory.

In the war in Mithril City Prison, nearly a hundred lawless criminals died.

There are only a few rune items left behind.

Huo Jixing looked helpless.

Although his performance in this war was limited, he provided quite crucial information.

Otherwise, Silas and the others would not go all out.

But think about it, if the rune items in the hands of the criminals are of good quality.

Silas's situation in the Kingdom of Demacia would not be so miserable, like a rat crossing the street, with everyone shouting to beat him.

"break down!"

Huo Jixing did not hesitate and directly called out the data panel to decompose the rune items he had just obtained.

[Congratulations to the host, the decomposition was successful and the essence*40 was obtained! 】

"Sure enough, the quality of the rune items is indeed very low."

Huo Jixing looked at the increased essence, feeling helpless in his heart.

"Well, the number of essences is now 90 points, and there are still 10 points left to light up the next Azure Dragon Star."

Huo Jixing was thoughtful.

Compared with when the Vermillion Bird Star was lit, the amount of essence required by the Azure Dragon Star Constellation increased significantly.

But it's still within the acceptable range.

roar! roar! roar!

While Huo Jixing was thinking, the chirping of Demacia's dragon birds rang through the clouds.

Hearing the sound, Huo Jixing raised his brows slightly, walked to the window, and looked up at the Demacia Dragon Bird Knight above the clouds in the sky.

When he just came back, he was almost spotted by a Demacian dragon bird.

Fortunately, he got down in time and entered Mithril City from the front commercial road.

"Silas, I hope you can leave the Northland safely."

Huo Jixing thought of Silas who left in embarrassment not long ago and was deeply hurt, and a smile appeared.

Those who are angry will be repaid, and they are not villains.

Huo Jixing likes to retaliate directly against the target, rather than leaving it until later.

Although this plan cannot be said to be perfect, it at least caused Silas heavy losses and tasted the pain of failure.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

As if aware of Huo Jixing's return, the snow-white Poro who woke up quickly rushed over, climbed onto his shoulders, and let out a cry.

Huo Jixing turned around to look, and he vaguely saw a hint of anger in the snow-white Poro's dark eyes.

It was like leaving it behind before complaining about Huo Jixing and running out to play alone.

Huo Jixing smiled, stretched out his hand to rub the snow-white Poro's soft head, and then scratched its chin to soothe the little guy's grievance.

Boom! Boom!

At the right time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Huo Jixing said.

Dawn walked in with a plate filled with all kinds of delicious food and placed them on the table one by one.

"Sir, this is the food you asked for."

Huo Jixing was not polite and immediately started eating.

With Silas, he mostly ate little of the food they prepared, just in case.

The snow-white Poro also jumped off his shoulders and lay on the edge of the plate, licking and enjoying the food.

Dawn looked at Huo Jixing, who was eating a lot of food, and felt respect in his heart.

Just using the information collected by Leiser's defense secret, the Crownguard family and Silas the Liberator started a bloody war.

According to the information from the secret agent, the two sides fought fiercely near the Miyin City prison.

The specific circumstances are unknown, but many people saw the appearance of Galio, the Colossus of Justice.

Compared to most Demacians.

The Lesser Garrison Secretariat, or the Western Army of the Noxus Empire, was more aware of the terrifying role Galio played in the war.

The reason is that the Noxus Empire’s western battlefield has not yet expanded its results.

Except for the reason for the forbidden magic stone.

The existence of Galio, the Colossus of Justice, is also a very important factor.

"This secret mission is almost over."

Huo Jixing swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at the almost-empty plate, and wiped his mouth with a white napkin.

"Is there any news from Your Majesty Swain?"

"It takes time." Dawn said respectfully.

"We need to send the news back to the high command that your Excellency has completed the mission."

Huo Jixing nodded slightly, as if thinking of something, and asked.

"Is there any recent news from the Noxus Empire? Please sort it out for me and send it over."

"Okay." Dawn immediately turned and left.

After a while, Dawn returned with a few letters and handed them to Huo Jixing.

There are no more than three pieces of letter paper, sealed with wax.

Huo Jixing rubbed it open with his hands and browsed it carefully.

[General Darius has quelled all rebel forces in the empire and is reorganizing the military, while seeking to change the system of soldiers' battle merits. ]

[The Trifari Council revoked many of the privileges of the nobles and gave them new responsibilities. ]

[Black Rose is completely lurking, but there is news that there seems to be a new research target. ]

[Commander Swain pardoned the Banished Blade, Riven, and transferred her to the Reese Guard Corps. ]

[Dlevin privately called the condemned man to enter the arena, and the information was seized. ]

After browsing all the news in the letter, Huo Jixing saw a lot of news about familiar people.

He put away the letter and his eyes flickered.

"It seems that the internal environment of the empire has gradually stabilized."

"The mess left by Bron Darkwill has been mostly solved after the joint efforts of Swain and Darius."

"The Noxian Empire is gradually getting back on track."

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Huo Jixing opened his eyes and shook his head gently.

It's not time to go back yet. The threat posed by Vladimir is far from gone.

There are also the Black Rose and the Pale Lady.

Deep in the mountains of northern Demacia.

Silas staggered on the rugged mountain road, and the number of criminals following him was obviously much less.

Most of the followers were also extremely tired and covered in blood.

And Scar Mother Frena had led the ruthless looters to leave the team.

This was a last resort.

The Demacia pursuers had been following behind them, not giving them a moment's rest.

In addition, the demon-seekers were chasing them.

It was too risky to flee together, so it was better to separate and accept their fate.

Roar! Roar!

The roar of the Demacia dragon bird sounded again.

Silas stopped and looked back at the Demacia Dragon Bird Knights flying in the clouds, looking grim.

"Avoid on the spot!"

Silas roared loudly, signaling the criminals under his command to avoid the falling arrows.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The black rain of arrows fell, with an erratic trajectory, but it posed a fatal threat to the criminals.

Because of the interference of the rain of arrows, they had to find a place to hide.

This gave the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia who were chasing behind time to advance and gradually close the distance between each other.

After several rounds of arrow rain, the Demacia Dragon Bird Knights did not leave, just hanging in the sky, overlooking the criminals who were resuming their actions on the ground.

They would not close the distance.

A few days ago, Silas shook the chain in his hand deeply and almost pulled a Demacia Dragon Bird Knight down from the sky, giving them a lesson.

"Damn it!"

Sylas endured the pain brought by his arms, looked up at the Demacia Dragon Bird Knight, then turned his head to look at the gradually emerging figures of the pursuers behind him, swallowing his anger.

He underestimated the damage he had done to the Kingdom of Demacia.

Scar Mother Freyna's separation did take away a small number of pursuers.

But the Demacia Dragon Bird Knights and the Fearless Vanguard Corps and other ace legions were still chasing after Silas, pressing step by step.

Five days later, Mithril City.

After the prison war outside the city ended, this prosperous highland city once again entered a state of martial law, and soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia could be seen everywhere on the streets.

Between the clouds in the sky, the Demacia Dragon Bird Knights patrolled day and night.

There was a rumor in Mithril City.

The notorious Silas and his lawless men intended to break through the Mithril City prison.

But under the advance defense of the Crown Guard family, they suffered heavy losses.

"Hurry, go and see."

"What's going on?"

"The Fearless Vanguard Corps is escorting the serious criminals and parading them through the streets."

"There's news that they are criminals."

Huo Jixing was sitting in the hotel, teasing the snow-white Poro in his arms.

Hearing the discussions on the street, his expression changed, and after saying hello to Dawn, he turned and left the hotel.

On Dawn Avenue, the crowded crowd moved forward.

On both sides, soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia were on guard.

They looked serious, and their vigilant eyes looked around at all the suspicious movements around them.

In the middle were soldiers from the Fearless Vanguard Corps.

They escorted a team of prisoner cars, which held the severely injured criminals.

The destination was the Temple of the Messenger of Light.

Under the witness of light, they would judge and execute these criminals.

Such a high-profile action was not only to maintain justice and order, but also to inform all Demacians that they lived in a safe and peaceful world.

Huo Jixing mixed in the crowd, his eyes wandering.

In the prison car, he saw a few familiar faces.

"It's Evel."

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly and recognized the criminal imprisoned in the prison car in the front.

This guy's magic talent is to control the fog and cover the vision.

If he loses this guy, Silas's situation will be even worse.

There are also a few criminals who have met once, and they are now in the prison car, waiting for the upcoming trial.

In front of the Temple of the Messenger of Light, the noise stopped.

Huo Jixing looked over and the pale temple square appeared in his field of vision.

The flat gray-white ground was like glass, spotless.

In the center of the temple square, there stands a majestic sculpture, vividly showing the heroic temperament of the Demacia soldiers.

The sculpture depicts a soldier with a pale shield erected in front of him.

A pair of wings are engraved on the front of the shield, implying the sacred mission of protecting all living beings.

Behind the shield is a soldier wielding a sword, he is majestic and upright, showing fearless courage and firm determination.

The soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard began to carry out their mission.

They opened the prisoner car, escorted the criminals out one by one, and knelt down along the sculpture.

These criminals were once the people of Demacia, but because they deviated from the track of justice and morality, they eventually embarked on the road of crime.

Sister Danica Olmedo walked out of the Temple of the Lightbringer.

She looked around at the Demacians who were watching, with a solemn and serious expression.

She was about to represent the temple and the power of justice to sentence these criminals to their crimes.

"Outlaws, I find you guilty and I will call upon the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard to enforce Demacia's justice." Sister Danica's voice was clear.

Accompanied by a solemn verdict.

The soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard swung their giant swords vigorously, and the sharp blades cut through the air, beheading the outlaws.

The bodies fell on the square, and two streams of blood spurted out of their necks, staining the ground red.

Boom!

The crowd cheered.

At this moment, the Demacians vented their anger and resentment.

Under the witness of light, these outlaws received the punishment they deserved, and the justice of Demacia was once again demonstrated.

Sister Danica saw the outlaws die and slowly returned to the temple.

She didn't want to take on this trial mission, but Lux found her in person and asked her to appease the emotions of the Demacians in Mithril City.

It seems that the war was won, but Silas and the criminals openly attacked the Mithril City Prison, which brought invisible influence to the Kingdom of Demacia.

The magic words that were once taboo have appeared in the public eye.

When the crowd dispersed, Huo Jixing stayed alone for a while, and then walked away.

However, when passing by Dawn Avenue, the snow-white Poro in his arms made a noise.

Huo Jixing was surprised, and then he thought of something, walked to the shadow corner of the street, and saw a slender figure wearing a blue hood.

"Miss Crown Guard." Huo Jixing said softly.

Lux took off her hood, her long golden hair was scattered, and her sea-blue eyes stared at Huo Jixing.

"Noxian?"

Huo Jixing looked calm, but his heart was rippled.

He had long realized that Lux was missing, but he didn't expect her mind to be so delicate.

"I'm just an intelligence dealer, how could I be a Noxian." Huo Jixing shook his head gently.

After Lux heard this, she clenched the golden cane in her right hand hidden in her cloak.

After the war in the Mithril City prison, she carefully recalled the details of the transaction and the information provided by Huo Jixing.

Finally, combined with Silas's actions, she had some doubts about Huo Jixing's identity.

At least he was not from the Demacia Kingdom.

"Intelligence dealer?"

Lux obviously didn't believe it, but without concrete evidence, she couldn't confirm Huo Jixing's true identity.

"Waiting for me here, are you going to trade intelligence?"

Huo Jixing saw that Lux's eyes were obviously wrong, and quickly changed the subject.

He was not afraid of his identity being exposed, but this was Mithril City, and he didn't want to get into trouble.

"Silas has already fled, what other information do you have?" Lux asked, and the golden cane in his hand loosened slightly.

"Jarvan III."

Buzz!

Before Huo Jixing finished speaking, the white refraction power filled his eyes, almost illuminating the Avenue of Dawn.

Lux looked horrified, and the golden cane in his hand was aimed at Huo Jixing.

"Do you know the reason for His Majesty's death?"

"I don't know, but I have some clues." Huo Jixing shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Lux looked a little relaxed, but after thinking for a while, he warned: "Leave the Kingdom of Demacia, things here are not for you to participate."

She really wanted to know the reason for Jarvan III's death.

But her heart told her not to trust the person in front of her, after all, Jarvan III's death was related to the stability of the Kingdom of Demacia.

It's just that the continuous transactions made her understand that Huo Jixing's information was accurate, so she was a little hesitant.

"Then see you next time."

Huo Jixing saw Lux's uncertain thoughts and turned away with a smile.

He did know the reason for Jarvan III's death, but the specific information still needed him to verify.

Lux stared at Huo Jixing leaving Dawn Avenue, suppressed his inner emotions, and prepared to return to the Crown Guard Castle.

Crown Guard Castle.

In the silent hall, Garen, wearing heavy armor, stood silently like a statue.

He looked at the black slate in front of him, on which two sentences were written.

Self-discipline makes you strong, diligence makes you strong.

This is the family motto of the Crown Guard family, and it is also the cornerstone of Garen's life, which makes him always as stable as a rock and fully focused.

But now Garen's thoughts are confused.

"The infected."

When he thought of Laxana, a infected, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

During this period of time, the two of them also deliberately avoided each other and didn't meet.

"Your Majesty Garen, we should go." Diadore came over and looked at Garen with a tangled expression.

The pursuit of Silas has come to an end.

Although Silas was not successfully captured and escaped to Freljord.

But this heavy blow is enough to make Silas and the criminals unable to recover for several years.

"Okay."

Garen looked around the familiar Crown Guard Castle, as if he wanted to remember this place where he lived when he was a child.

Because here are buried the beautiful memories of him and Laxana.

Then, he left with Diadore without looking back.

Not long ago, Grand Marshal Tiana Crownguard sent an order for Garen to return to the capital immediately.

On the watchtower of Crownguard Castle.

Lux hid in the shadows, looking at her brother's departing figure, and sighed.

"Garen!"
