The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 175 Lightbringer Temple

In a dark room.

The old candlestick lit up with a bright yellow flame.

Huo Jixing opened the parchment in his hand, laid it flat on the table, and read it carefully.

There is a lot of intelligence information about the town of Forsbarrow, and the parchments are almost filled with lines of text.

This information has not been sorted out in advance, and Huo Jixing needs to identify the useful information by himself.

The main reason is that Fosbello Town is located on the northern border of the Demasi Kingdom and is too small.

Patapa, a secret agent of the Leiser Garrison, relies on the tavern to collect all intelligence information around the town of Forsbarrow.

If Huo Jixing goes to Miyin City first, there may be detailed intelligence information.
  Because the Reese Guard Secretariat in Mithril City is the intelligence center of the northern part of the Kingdom of Demacia.

But the distance is too far.

Hojixing crossed the border of Freljord and entered the Kingdom of Demacia.

The nearest town is Forsbarrow.

If you go to Mithril City, you will need at least four or five more days.

Combining the above factors, the Noxus Empire High Command chose the town of Forsbarrow as the starting point of the mission.

"Mithril City." Huo Jixing's eyes flickered.

This is a city located in the rocky highlands northwest of Demacia. It is also the most prosperous city in the northern part of the Kingdom of Demacia.

It also has another name——

The city of dragons and birds!

The legendary silver-winged Demacian dragonbirds often appear in the sky above Mithril City, chasing each other and playing with each other.

Huo Jixing was deeply impressed by Misilver City because it was the giant city where the Crownguard family was located.

In their past life memories, Galen Crownguard and Laxana Crownguard spent their wonderful childhood in Mithral City and the nearby forest mountains.

"Rumors of Dark Magic."

Huo Jixing tapped his fingers on the table, his thoughts coming to mind.

The parchment briefly describes the rumors of black magic. The start time is unknown, but there are several witnesses.

In their mouths, they said they saw bursts of black mist filling the air, and then the people disappeared.

The soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia who arrived afterwards could not find any traces.

In the end, it was the Temple of Lightbringer in the town of Forsbarrow that set the tone for the incident and reported it to Mithril City and the capital of Demacia.

"Just don't get in my way."

Huo Jixing put away the parchment and looked out the window.

In the dim night, only the lonely moonlight shines on the empty streets.

The town of Forsbarrow seems to be on the edge of endless darkness, and some terrifying existence is quietly growing, shrouding this silent town.

I can't stay here any longer. I'll meet those guys tomorrow, agree on a time for cooperation, and prepare to leave.

Huo Jixing's pupils tightened and he thought to himself.

The night passed and the golden light came.

With the arrival of light, the town of Forsbarrow gradually turns from deep ink to pale gold, and strands of sunshine are like sharp swords, piercing the shackles of darkness.

Huo Jixing woke up from meditation on time, with a breakfast of bread and butter on the table in front of him.

After eating, he greeted Patapa and walked towards the street under the morning light.

It was a little too early, and the town didn't seem to have fully woken up.

Huo Jixing saw that there was no smoke coming from the blacksmith shops on both sides of the street, and there was no aroma from the bakery. Only a few dark-faced businessmen were opening the doors.

Demacians all adhere to the principles of hard work, self-discipline, and diligence. It is rare for a border town to start a day's work so late.

Huo Jixing came to the market square yesterday to confirm his suspicions. He saw very few townspeople along the way.

Perhaps because of its location on the edge of Northland, the atmosphere in Forsbarrow is more laid-back.

Huo Jixing continued walking forward and came to a towering gray-white building——

Lightbringer Temple.

According to Patapa's intelligence information, the Lightbringer Temple is the landmark building in the town of Forsbarrow.

Many devout believers come to pray every day.

In every town in the Kingdom of Demacia, the Lightbringer Temple is a standard feature, representing that the light of Demacia will protect everyone.

From a distance, the exterior of the temple is carved from pure white marble, symbolizing purity and holiness.

Under the bright golden sunlight, the smooth marble material sparkles, seeming to absorb the power of sunlight into the building, creating a halo-like effect.

Every detail on the walls of the temple is carved lifelike, describing the justice, glory and responsibility of the Kingdom of Demacia to every Demacian who passes by. On the top of the temple, even during the day, the white brazier is still burning, emitting warm light.

But in the next instant.

Huo Jixing looked in a daze, as if he saw a thick darkness eroding the light in the temple.

In an instant, a creepy feeling spread throughout his body.

Buzz!

The fire of Nanli was lit, and Huo Jixing woke up in time.

Then he looked at the Lightbringer Temple with a horrified expression.

"What the hell is going on here?"

What he just saw was definitely a blur of vision.

But there really is darkness hidden in the town of Forsbarrow, hidden beneath the light.

"Shh, be quiet."

He noticed that the snow-white Poro in his arms was a little restless, reached out to touch it, and then hid in the shadows of the street.

While he was secretly observing, the door of the Lightbringer Temple opened.

"I will not give up. I will definitely find the murderer."

A woman wearing a furry ermine robe, wearing the bronze wings emblem of a Demacia magistrate, and with long brown hair came out and was saying something angrily.

"Giselle, don't get excited, the Lightbringer Church has already sent someone here."

Behind the brown-haired woman, a woman wearing the white robe of the Light Messenger walked out of the white door and comforted her in every possible way.

"Just wait a little longer, we will definitely rescue Luca."

"Luca, my child has been missing for a day. I can't wait any longer. I must find him." Judge Giselle seemed a little excited, and his voice was hoarse and low.

Then, she saluted the woman in white robe in front of her and left in a hurry.

"Hey, is it true that a black magician appears in Forsbarrow?"

Looking at Giselle's leaving back, the woman in white robe lowered her eyes, clenched the white scepter in her hand, and a look of sadness filled her face.

"But the power of black magic is far beyond what we can resist."

"Um!?"

As if she noticed something, the woman in white robe raised her old face and looked towards the shadows of the street.

"Did the recent fatigue make me too sensitive?"

She looked at the deserted street corner with a puzzled expression. After standing still for a long time, she returned to the Lightbringer Temple and began to prepare for a new day's work.

As time passed, there were gradually more people on the street.

The Lightbringer Temple also welcomed many devout believers, bringing freshness to this white building.

Quiet pub, in front of the bar.

After Huo Jixing left the Lightbringer Temple, he chose to return to the tavern.

But his thoughts lingered on the Temple of Lightbringer, and the darkness that gripped the building.

Maybe it was too early and no customers had arrived in the tavern yet.

Patapa wiped the wine glass, and when he saw Huo Jixing's solemn expression, he asked, "Have you gained anything by going out for a walk?"

"It seems someone is missing again!"

After Huo Jixing thought for a while, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

The burning sensation of the spicy alcohol on his throat relaxed his nervousness: "Judge Giselle's child."

Hearing this, Patapa stopped his movements and looked solemn.

The town of Forsbarrow has one and only one Demacia magistrate - Judge Giselle.

The disappearance of her child represents another escalation of the black magic incident.

"The Crownguard family will send someone here."

Patapa put down the rag and arranged the wine glasses neatly. His expression was extremely solemn: "After seeing those guys, please leave as soon as possible."

"Crownguard family?" Huo Jixing looked surprised.

"The town of Fosbarrow is a town named after Fosian Crownguard." Patapa said.

"Compared with the Crownguard family's fiefdom, it's not much different."

"The escalation of the black magic incident will definitely cause the Crownguard family to send people over."

Huo Jixing nodded slightly, thinking of the rich darkness he had seen before, his heart tightened: "Let's meet in the afternoon."
