The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 186 The deal with Lux and new talents!

Snow-capped mountains and glistening glaciers.

Galen suppressed his inner thoughts and looked steadily at the graceful Lux in front of him. After a slight expression on his face, he asked.

"I need to leave the castle and go to the Dauntless Vanguard Legion stationed nearby. Can we come together?"

"Need not."

Lux saw Galen's inner restlessness and shook her head slightly.

News comes from the Illuminator.

Galen's recent operations have not been ideal, and he has encountered many twists and turns during his pursuit of Silas.

No one could have imagined that a group of outlaws following Silas, the traitor in Biangou Town, would make the Fearless Vanguard Legion extremely embarrassed.

Galen raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and motioned for Diadoru and others to leave the Crown Guard Castle together.

This opportunity cannot be missed, Galen must seize it.

The situation he encountered before was indeed dangerous.

Silas the Liberator proved to all Demacians that he was cunning and difficult to deal with.

Led by Silas, the outlaws follow a mysterious path.

They would always raid isolated patrols and watchtowers on the outskirts of towns, then retreat into the forests and swamps whenever troops mustered for battle.

"Silas, you will not be able to escape this time."

In front of Castle Hill Road, Galen looked at Lux who was waving to greet him behind him, and suppressed the complicated emotions rising in his heart.

Mithril City.

The Avenue of Dawn leading to the Temple of Lightbringer.

Lux was riding Starfire, wearing the hood of a blue cloak, putting her long golden hair in, and carefully observing the surroundings with her sea-blue eyes.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

A high-pitched roar echoed over the temple.

In the distant sky, a team of Demacian dragonbirds composed of silver-gray dragonbirds fluttered their wings.

The silver-gray wings stretched out, creating ripples in the air, and the slender body criss-crossed the clouds.

"Demacia Dragon Bird Knight, is this something urgent?"

Lux looked up at the sky and looked solemn when she saw the Demacian Dragon Bird Knight who was about to fall.

The northern border of the Kingdom of Demacia is too vast and surrounded by mountains, making the terrain complex.

Demacia's vanguard sentries cannot effectively guard all mountain crossings.

Faced with such a situation, the Demacian dragonbird knights will fly in small teams among the mountains in the northern part of the kingdom to conduct reconnaissance patrols.

But in an instant, the Demacia Dragon Bird Squad arrived at the Lightbringer Temple.

Lux tightened the reins and drove Starfire quickly towards the temple.

On the top of the mountain, the dome of the Lightbringer Temple.

A weather-beaten silver-white building stood quietly like an exquisitely woven bird's nest. A faint coercion filled the air, making the nearby airspace clean and free of any birds.

Under the biting cold wind, Lux walked along the silver steps.

Starfire has been placed in the stables of the temple.

The hood of the blue cloak was lifted, and her long golden hair was rippling in the wind. Lux clutched the golden cane, crossed the steps, and entered the building.

This is the [Dragon Bird's Nest], where Demacia's dragon birds live.

Lux's arrival quickly attracted the attention of the palace.

"Miss Crownguard!"

The Demacia dragon bird knight walked quickly, the silver armor that looked like dragon bird wings reflected the golden light, and the dark blue cloak behind him fluttered gently in the cold wind.

"Did something happen on the northern border?" Lux said bluntly.

"The vanguard sentry found traces of the camp in the mountains and suspected that they were ruthless raiders from the Freljord." Demacian Dragon Bird Knight replied.

"They may want to loot nearby villages and towns."

"Are there any other discoveries?" Lux's eyes flickered, thinking of the news from the Illuminator, mentioning Silas's appearance in the North.

After thinking for a while, the Demacia Dragon Bird Knight shook his head slightly and said in a solemn voice: "Not yet."

"Yeah!" Lux nodded.

"His Majesty Galen is working with the Fearless Vanguard Legion outside Mithril City. You can seek his assistance."

"Ok!"

The Demacian Dragon Bird Knight saluted, clenched his hands into fists, crossed his arms in front of his chest, returned to the Dragon Bird's Nest, and rode the Demacian Dragon Bird towards the outside of the city.

After Lux got the news she wanted, she left the Dragon Bird's Nest and went to the depths of the Lightbringer Temple.

In the quiet and peaceful temple hall, a candlelit room opened from the inside.

Lux walked in and looked around.

The walls and floors are covered with silver-white stone, which shines brightly and seems to reflect the brilliance of the moonlight.

It's extremely simple inside, with no extra furniture or decorations.

There is only a simple silver-white bed and a silver-white desk.

The soft bed with crisp white sheets and pillows gives a feeling of comfort and tranquility. Some books and stationery are neatly placed on the desk, showing the owner's quality and taste.

"Your Majesty, Miss."

Sister Danica, who heard the footsteps, stopped what she was doing and stood up to salute.

"Do you have any idea of ​​the news I want?"

Lux sat opposite Sister Danica, her flawless face calm and soft.

"Sorry, Miss Crownguard, the Illuminator cannot confirm the identity of the demon-stained person named Huo Jixing." Sister Danica lowered her eyes, her green eyes full of apology.

"But based on your description, Your Majesty Kashina asks you to handle it with caution."

"What the devil said may be true. His power is very likely related to the stars."

"Star spirit?"

Lux whispered softly, unable to help but recall the scene of her fight with the nightmare demon.

The red-gold flames burned away the black mist and demonic power as if nothing was burning.

"The traces of Silas appeared in the Northland. Is there any response from Kashina?"

"The situation in Xiongdu is very complicated now, and the Illuminator can't spare any manpower." Sister Danica shook her head slightly.

Compared to Northland and Mithril City, the Hero of Demacia is more important.

And with the Crownguard family guarding them, even if Silas and the others had the help of Freljord allies, they would never be able to break through the defense of Mithril City.

"But it seems that the Demon Seeker Legion has sent people over." Sister Danica mentioned the only good news.

"Okay." Lux's gloomy eyes lit up when she heard this.

In the ancient history of the Kingdom of Demacia, the Demonseekers are an ancient regiment that dates back to the founding of the Kingdom.

After the death of Jarvan III, the Demon Seeker Legion has been given extremely high power.

The current leader of the Demon Seekers is Lord Eldred.

He is the husband of his aunt Tiana Crownguard.

The midday sun, bright and warm, filled the streets.

Lux left the Lightbringer Temple and walked on the Avenue of Dawn holding Starfire.

Along the way, she saw Demacians put aside their busy lives and enjoy the warmth and brightness of the sun, taking a rare break.

Maybe he sensed something.

Lux led Starfire, leaving the Dawn Road and entering a narrow path.

After walking a hundred meters, she stopped when she saw no one around.

Starfire lowered her head and leaned close to Lux, her nose twitching and her anthropomorphic eyes filled with nervousness.

It smelled a familiar scent and almost snatched away its master's snow-white poro.

"Miss Crownguard, it's nice to meet you again."

Huo Jixing walked out of the shadows of the trail with a smile on his face and saluted Lux. The snow-white Poro in his arms popped out his head and his eyes curled up.

"It's you!"

Lux held the golden cane tightly, and a brilliant white light lit up at the top.

In Fosian's Tomb, she would not forget this guy's cold murderous intention towards her.

"Don't be nervous." Huo Jixing took a step back and left the handle of the knife with his left hand, indicating that he was not looking for trouble.

"I wonder if my reminder will be of benefit to you and Galen?"

Lux thought about her recent investigation and nodded: "We have successfully investigated some things, and Silas has appeared near the Northland."

Lacus did not hesitate and directly stated the results of her investigation.

Since Huo Jixing can remind her, he must know more things.

"Tsk tsk, you are indeed Miss Crown Guard."

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised that Lux already knew about Silas's appearance in the North.

"Want to cooperate?"

Lux was a little moved, but she was wary of Huo Jixing's strength.

"I can provide you with some information, but I need rune items to trade." Huo Jixing saw Lux's move and got straight to the point.

"Rune items." Lux was surprised and confused. As a Crown Guard lady, Lux is backed by the Illuminator. She has handled many rune items and has a keen sense of rune items.

On Huo Jixing, Lux sensed the existence of several runic items.

"I can only provide ordinary rune items." Lux replied. There are many rune items in the Crownguard family.

"Okay." Huo Jixing nodded, keeping his expression calm and calm.

"Trade a piece of news first?"

"What's the news?" Lux asked back, coming here specifically to find her, there must be something important.

"About Silas."

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered. Lux's behavior was unexpected. This distinguished Crown Guard lady was extremely wary of him.

"I don't have any rune items for now." Lux put away the golden cane, indicating that she didn't bring any other rune items when she went out.

"I need you to come with me to the Crownguard Castle."

"No, I trust Miss Crownguard, you can give it to me next time." Huo Jixing said with a smile, refusing to go to Crownguard Castle with Lux.

He was afraid that meeting Galen again would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Silas has secretly mobilized a lot of power to come to the North, and there will be action in the near future." After Huo Jixing finished speaking, he stepped back and prepared to leave the narrow path.

Seeing this, Lux hesitated slightly before speaking.

"Be careful. The black magic incident has caused a lot of commotion recently. Demacia's capital has sent a demon-hunting investigator."

Huo Jixing bowed down, expressed his gratitude, and then disappeared from sight.

"Is Silas taking action?"

Lux frowned, thinking about the recent events, a bad feeling arose in her heart.

She immediately mounted Starfire and hurried to the Dauntless Vanguard Legion camp outside the city.

In the shadow of the street, Huo Jixing's eyes glowed with red-gold light. When he saw Lux's cloud heading outside the city, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.

The increasingly chaotic Kingdom of Demacia is what the High Command of the Noxus Empire wants to see.

Of course, killing Lux and Galen is the most direct way.

However, they are very powerful, and Huo Jixing cannot guarantee that he will succeed.

If he failed, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

The Kingdom of Demacia seems to have banned magic, but traces of the history of hundreds of years include the traces of the righteous angel Kyle and the fallen angel Morgana.

Therefore, before Noxus could return to its former glory, Huo Jixing felt that ensuring his own safety was the most important thing.

After all, the deadly threat of Scarlet Reaper Vladimir is still vivid in his mind.

Squeak!Squeak!

Huo Jixing noticed the movement of the snow-white Poro in his arms and gently patted the Poro's head.

This little guy became a little restless after seeing Lux. It seems that he has to be restricted in terms of food recently.

You have to let it know who its real owner is.

Southeast corner of Mithril City, in front of the quiet hotel.

As soon as Huo Jixing came back, he heard some movement from the street next door and looked curiously.

I saw a huge, dark-skinned man, led by soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia, searching the row houses on the street.

The sturdy man wore a fur coat, held a heavy wooden cane, and wore a magic-forbidden stone plate on his heart, with geometric patterns engraved on it.

"It's the symbol of the Demon Searcher." Dao En appeared next to Huo Jixing at the right time and spoke in a solemn voice.

"It seems that the black magic incident caused by Silas has attracted the attention of these hyenas."

hyena?

Huo Jixing heard Dao En's metaphor about the demon searchers and agreed in his heart.

According to the intelligence information of the Reese Guard Corps, the Demon Seeker Corps of the Kingdom of Demacia will carry out almost cruel punishments for all those found infected with demons.

Most of them were imprisoned in the darkest dungeons and tortured until they died.

A small number of very young children will be exiled to the wild and left to fend for themselves.

"We won't be found, right?" Huo Jixing asked.

"No, we have already paid the protection fee." Dawn chuckled softly, looked at the movement of the demon seekers, and returned to the hotel.

"Sir, this is what you want recently."

Dawn pushed open the room and pointed to a sealed box placed on the wooden table. The surface had been treated to prevent the erosion of magic.

"It's been a big thank you to you recently. If you want to pay for it, just remember my name." Huo Jixing touched the sealed box and turned to thank Dawn.

Ever since he was seconded to the Lesser Garrison, he had paid little attention to money matters.

Swain and Darius were very nice to him and took good care of him.

After Dawn left, Huo Jixing closed the door.

At the same time, he extended his materialized spirit and scanned the surrounding environment.

Huo Jixing didn't open the sealed box until it was safe.

Crunch!

The box was opened, and there were many very broken rune items inside, with only a little magical light shining.

The only relatively complete rune item is the black bead.

"Devil's power?" Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, and he was keenly aware of the familiar power.

It is somewhat similar to the power of nightmare in Fosian's Tomb, but its demonic properties are completely different.

In the Kingdom of Demacia, magic is synonymous with taboo.

This resulted in many runic items being considered weapons of evil gods and demons in the eyes of Demacians.

As long as you are interested in collecting information, there will always be some relevant information.

Huo Jixing had already bought a lot of information at a high price within two days of arriving in Miyin City.

The items in front of him were the result of him asking Dawn to arrange for people to visit the surrounding towns.

"Are there too many traces of the devil's existence?" Huo Jixing looked at the many broken rune items in the box carefully, looking surprised.

Compared to the Freljord and the Noxian Empire.

The demonic deeds Huo Jixing heard and saw in the Kingdom of Demacia were a bit excessive.

Huo Jixing put away his thoughts and his consciousness sank into the data panel.

There is still no movement in the talent, only Suzaku, shining alone with the red golden light.

The amount of essence has been filled with demonic power, reaching 480 points.

It must be said that the residual power left by the Eternal Nightmare Nocturne provided him with great help.

Huo Jixing sometimes couldn't help but want to use essence to add to the four basic attributes, but in the end he endured it and waited to unlock new talents.

[Decompose rune items? 】

A familiar cold reminder sounded in his ears. Huo Jixing looked at the surging dark green data flow and his consciousness suddenly moved.

【break down】

Buzz!Buzz!Buzz!

The air trembled.

The dark green data flow covered all the runic items in the box and melted instantly.

[Congratulations to the host, the decomposition was successful and the essence*70 was obtained! 】

"It's not bad." Huo Jixing looked at the empty box, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.

He had just scanned the rune items inside. Most of them were old and looked very dilapidated.

Now I can have 70 essence points, which is already very good.

and many more!

talent?

Huo Jixing's consciousness flashed, and he was about to exit the data panel, but his eyes subconsciously fell on the talent.

Instantly, he noticed the change in his talent.

Behind the talent, the familiar + sign appears again.

"500 points of essence?" Huo Jixing took a deep breath.

So much essence can improve a lot of physical attributes, but compared to new talents, the results are obvious.
