The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 195 Lux’s warning and Galen’s departure

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 echoed 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 his head to look, and 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 aggrieved mood.

dong dong!dong dong!

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' combat 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."

"Most of the mess left by Brown Darkwill has been solved through the cooperation of Swain and Darius."

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

After Huo Jixing closed his eyes and thought for a while, he opened his eyes and shook his head gently.

Now is not the time to go back, the threat posed by Vladimir is far from gone.

And the black rose, and the pale lady.

Deep in the Northland Mountains of Demacia.

Silas walked staggeringly on the rugged mountain road, with significantly fewer criminals following behind him.

Most of the people following now are also extremely tired and covered in blood.

The Mother of Scars, Freyna, has led the ruthless marauders and left the team.

This is a last resort.

Demacia's pursuers were always behind them, not giving them a moment to rest.

Coupled with the pursuit of the demon-seeking army.

The risk of escaping together is very high, so it is better to separate and live in peace with each other.

Hoho! Hoho!

The roar of the Demacian dragonfowl sounded again.

Silas stopped and looked back at the Demacian dragon bird knights flying in the form of arrows between the clouds, with an ugly look on his face.

"Shelter in place!"

Silas roared loudly, signaling his outlaws to avoid the falling arrows.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The black arrows fall with erratic trajectories, but they pose a fatal threat to the criminals.

Disturbed by the rain of arrows, they had to find a place to take shelter.

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

After several rounds of arrow rain passed, the Demacia Dragon Bird Knights team did not leave. They just hung in the sky, overlooking the lawless criminals who resumed action on the ground.

They don't close the distance.

In the past few days, Silas shook the chain in his hand deeply and almost pulled a Demacia dragon bird knight down from the sky, teaching them a lesson.

"damn it!"

Silas endured the pain caused by his arms, looked up at the Demacia Dragon Bird Knight, and then turned to look at the pursuers gradually emerging behind him, swallowing the anger in his mouth.

After all, he underestimated the harm he had done to the Kingdom of Demacia.

The departure of Frena, Mother of Scars, did take away a small number of pursuers.

However, the ace legions such as the Demacian Dragon Bird Knights and the Fearless Vanguard Legion were still behind Silas, pursuing him step by step.

Five days later, Mithril City.

Since the end of the prison war outside the city, this bustling highland city has once again entered a state of martial law, and soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Between the clouds in the sky, Demacian Dragon Knights patrol day and night.

There are rumors spreading in Mithril City.

The notorious Silas and his band of outlaws seek to break into the Mithral City prison.

However, due to the advance precautions of the Crown Guard family, they suffered heavy losses.

"Quick, go and see." 　　　 "What's going on?"

"The Fearless Vanguard Legion is escorting felons and parading them through the streets."

"There is news that they are criminals."

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

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

On Liming Avenue, the crowds of people moved forward.

There are soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia on both sides to guard.

Their expressions were serious, and their vigilant eyes looked around at all suspicious movements.

In the middle are the Dauntless Vanguard Legionnaires.

They escorted a group of prison vans, which contained severely beaten criminals.

The destination is the Lightbringer Temple.

Under the witness of light, they will judge and execute these lawbreakers.

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

Huo Jixing mingled in the crowd, his eyes wandering.

In the prison car, he saw several slightly familiar faces.

"It's Ewell."

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

This guy's magical talent is to control fog and obscure his vision.

Silas' situation would be even worse if he lost this guy.

There are also several criminals who have met each other once and are now in the prison car, waiting for the upcoming trial.

In front of the Lightbringer Temple, the noise stopped.

Huo Jixing looked and saw the pale temple square appearing in his field of vision.

The flat gray ground looked like glass and spotless.

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

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

A pair of wings is engraved on the front of the shield, symbolizing 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 fearless Vanguard Legionnaires began their mission.

They opened the prison van, escorted one of the criminals out, and knelt down along the sculpture.

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

Sister Danica Olmedo walks out of the Temple of Lightbringer.

The Demacians looked around with solemn and serious expressions.

She is about to represent the temple and the power of justice to pronounce the crimes of these lawless people.

"Outlaws, I convict you and recruit the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion to enforce Demacia's justice." Sister Danica's voice was clear.

Accompanied by a solemn pronouncement of sentence.

The soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion waved the giant swords in their hands vigorously, and the sharp blades cut through the air, cutting off the heads of the lawless criminals.

The corpse fell on the square, and two pillars of blood spurted out from the neck, staining the ground red.

Rumble!

The crowd then let out a roar of applause.

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

Under the witness of light, these lawless people received their due punishment, and Demacia's justice was once again demonstrated.

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

She did not want to take on this trial task, but Lux personally found her and asked her to appease the emotions of the Demacians in Mithril City.

It seemed that the war was won, but Silas and the outlaws openly attacked the Mithril City prison, bringing invisible effects to the Kingdom of Demacia.

Magical words that were once taboo have now appeared in the public eye.

After 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 some noise.

Huo Jixing was surprised in his heart, and then thought of something. He walked towards the shadow corner of the street and saw a slim figure wearing a blue hood.

"Miss Crown Guard." Huo Jixing spoke softly.

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

"Noxian?"

Huo Jixing looked calm, but his heart was filled with ripples.

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

"I'm just an information dealer, how could I be a Noxian?" Huo Jixing shook his head slightly.

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

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

Finally, combined with Silas's actions, Huo Jixing's identity was doubted.

At least not on the side of the Kingdom of Demacia.

"Information dealer?"

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

"Waiting for me here, do you want to trade information?"

Huo Jixing saw that something was obviously wrong in Lux's eyes and quickly changed the subject.

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

"Silas has been defeated, what information do you have?" Lux asked, loosening the golden cane in her hand slightly.

"Jarvan III."

Buzz!

Before Huo Jixing finished speaking, the power of pure white refraction filled the air in front of his eyes, almost lighting up the Dawn Avenue.

Lux looked horrified, and pointed the golden cane in her hand 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.

Lux looked slightly relaxed after hearing this, but after thinking for a while, she warned: "Leave the Kingdom of Demacia, you are not allowed to participate in things here."

She wanted to know the cause of Jarvan III's death.

But her heart told her not to trust the people in front of her. After all, the death of Jarvan III was related to the stability of the Kingdom of Demacia.

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

"Then we'll see you next time."

Seeing Lux's unsteady thoughts, Huo Jixing smiled and turned around to leave.

He did know the cause of Jiawen III's death, but he still needed to verify the specific information.

Lux watched Huo Jixing leave Dawn Avenue, suppressed her inner emotions, and prepared to return to the Crownguard Castle.

Crownguard Castle.

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

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

Be disciplined and strong, diligent and firm.

This is the family motto of the Crownguard family and the cornerstone of Galen's life, allowing him to always be as steady as a rock and fully focused.

But now Galen's thoughts were confused.

"The devil-stained one."

He couldn't help but feel bitterness deep in his heart when he thought of Laxana as a demon-stained person.

During this period of time, the two also deliberately avoided meeting each other.

"Your Majesty Galen, it's time for us to leave." Diadoru walked over and looked at Galen with a troubled expression.

The hunt for Silas has come to an end.

Although he failed to capture Silas, he escaped into the Freljord.

But this time the damage was severe enough that Silas and the criminals would not be able to recover for several years.

"Ok."

Galen looked around the familiar Crownguard Castle, as if he wanted to remember this place where he lived as a child.

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

Immediately afterwards, he took Diadoru away 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, looked at her brother's leaving figure, and sighed.

"Galen!"
