The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 179 The Glory of the Crown Guard

The town of Forsbarrow.

In front of the heavy iron door.

The slim figure in a blue cloak tightened the reins in his hands and stopped the white horse from running.

"We'll be at the temple soon, Starfire."

The slim figure looked at the Temple of the Lightbringer with the flames burning on the top, and reached out to stroke the horse's mane.

"I promise, they will definitely prepare rice and a warm stable for you."

She jumped off the saddle, untied one of the straps on the saddle, took off the exquisite and exquisite hanging cane, held the gold-lacquered ebony handle, and gently held it in her left hand.

Then, she walked towards the closed city gate.

Halfway through the journey, she took off her blue cloak, and her long golden hair spread around her shoulders. A beautiful face with bright eyes, white teeth, and picturesque eyebrows appeared, and her sea-blue eyes shone with determination.

"Stop, traveler."

On the top sentry tower of the iron city gate, two soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia appeared, each holding a strong bow made of ash and yew, and the sharp arrows glowed with cold light.

Judge Giselle issued the order before dusk yesterday.

Until the black magic incident is resolved, anyone entering the town of Forsbarrow needs to be questioned.

"The city gate has been closed. Come back tomorrow morning."

"I am Laxana Crownguard." Lax held the golden staff and looked up at the city gate tower.

"As you said, it's getting late."

"But I came all the way to pay homage to my great-grandfather. If you can be a little accommodating, I would be grateful."

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia on the city gate sentry tower looked intently in the dim twilight, and then their expressions were astonished, and their eyes were full of surprise.

He recognized Lux.

Although it had been a long time since she last came to Forsbarrow, Galen once said that as long as people took one look at Lux, they would never forget her.

"Miss Crownguard, please forgive me." The Demacia Kingdom soldier exclaimed, and immediately turned around and ordered the other soldiers to open the door.

Whoa!
  With the sound of heavy iron chains twisting, the iron gate slowly rose and retracted into the city wall.

Lux waited until the gate was raised to a high enough height, and then drove Starfire into the city.

She saw the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia gathered in front of her, wearing leather armor and blue cloaks with silver brooches in the shape of unified double-winged swords.

They are proud Demacian soldiers.

However, they seemed listless for some reason, with tired eyes.

"Welcome to Forsbarrow." The soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia spoke out from the city gate tower.

"It's an honor, Miss Crownguard."

"District Judge Giselle will be very relieved to hear of your arrival. May I assign a detachment of soldiers to escort you to her house?"

"Thank you, but no need." Lux slightly let go of Starfire's reins: "I already have an appointment with Sister Pernilai of the Lightbringer Temple."

She was about to move on when she realized that this kingdom soldier seemed to be about to say something.

So she gently reined in Starfire's reins.

"Miss Crownguard," the Kingdom soldier said solemnly.

"Are you here to investigate the rumors of black magic and end our nightmare?"

Lux pondered for a while, looking around at the many soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia who were waiting for answers, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Of course, this is the honor of the Crown Guard."

After saying that, Lux crossed the city gate and entered the small town.

The news of her arrival attracted the attention of the town residents through the voices of the kingdom's soldiers.

Along the way, there were many residents who had not yet rested. They looked at the crownguard lady riding a horse. Cheers kept ringing, and a crowd gradually formed, surrounding Lux's horse.

The town of Fosbello, which was supposed to be quiet, now has a lively atmosphere.

This is the high respect Demacians have for the Crownguard family.

At a street intersection, behind a crowd of people.

Huo Jixing hid in the dark shadows and saw Lux's appearance from a distance.

The town's residents were too noisy, and he couldn't squeeze through the crowds.

Even so, Huo Jixing, with his extraordinary sight, still saw Lux's flawless face, but after just one glance, he could not forget it.

Compared to Riven's heroic beauty.

Lux is young, energetic and flawless in beauty.

There may be some differences in their appearance. But the visual sense brought by their completely different temperaments makes up for the gap between the two.

Huo Jixing felt relieved when he saw Lux entering the Lightbringer Temple.

I thought I would have to wait for a few more days, but I didn't expect someone from the Crown Guard family to arrive now.

And it’s Laxana Crownguard.

With the arrival of Lux, whether it is the black mist that appears in Forsbarrow Town at night or the remaining demonic power, it will probably be solved well.

The brilliance of Demacia will not allow any dirt to contaminate the light within.

Lightbringer Temple.

The warm warmth dispels the coldness of the forest.

Starfire, who was tired from running around, had settled down in the stable to enjoy the clean rice.

Lux saw Sister Pernilai in the main hall of the temple.

This woman with light yellow hair, wearing the white robe of the Lightbringer, told Lux ​​about the rumors of black magic encountered in Forsbarrow Town.

And the black mist that filled the surrounding mountains and forests.

Lux sat behind the table and listened, thoughts filling her sea-blue eyes.

After she entered the town, she immediately felt that there was a dark magic power surging in the dark, and it seemed that something was watching her from the shadows.

Most of the townspeople who welcomed her on the street walked heavily and were exhausted.

Perhaps the situation is worse than Lux imagined, and a looming curtain of terror envelopes Forsbarrow.

Da da!Da da!Da da!

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the conversation between Lux and Sister Penile.

It's Judge Gisele.

The woman in a mink robe looked tired and her eyes were bloodshot.

"I've met Miss Crown Guard!" Judge Giselle saluted and said in a hoarse voice.

"Judge Giselle." Lux stood up and looked at Judge Giselle with a smile: "What's the reason for coming here in such a hurry?"

"My child, Luca, disappeared two days ago." Judge Giselle was slightly emotional.

"Someone saw him, and a black magician with ulterior motives abducted him, narrowly escaping death."

"I expect Miss Crown Guard to help me find my child."

Lux looked solemn and placed the golden cane in front of her: "This is the glory of the Crown Guard. I will definitely deal with this black magic rumor."

Judge Giselle calmed down under Lux's comfort.

Then she waved back, and a soldier from the Kingdom of Demacia came up, holding a thick book with a double-winged sword logo on the cover.

"This is what happened recently in the town of Fosbello. Miss Crown Guard can try to start from this aspect." Judge Giselle spoke in a serious voice.

"There are some things worth noting, and I've marked them."

"Thank you for your help." Lux took the book, her eyes fell on the cover, and her heart sank.

The night is getting darker and the stars are falling.

Under the arrangement of Sister Penile, Lux stayed in a room on the third floor of the temple.

The bright yellow candlelight flickers, reflecting the warm room.

Lux sat at the desk, spread out the thick book, and was carefully reading the many information recorded in it.

Most of them are trivial things in the small town and have nothing to do with the rumors of black magic.

But some things still caught her attention and she circled them carefully.

"Huh? Wanderer?"

At the end of the book, Lux noticed the newly written information. The note was provided by the Kingdom soldiers guarding the city gate.

"Dornhold, Ocean Storm?"

"I remember that in recent months, the West Coast seemed very calm, and the occasional swell was not a ship-breaking ocean storm."

Just as Lux was thinking.

The burning flame on top of the Lightbringer Temple began to sway, flickering on and off.

The dull black mist, like a tide, descended on the town again.

It engulfs the light, is everywhere, and pervasive.

Beyond the doors and windows, across the dome, intruding into every corner, as if there are invisible hands strangling people's throats, fear and despair invade into the nightmare.
