The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 206 Ominous Blade Katarina

Under the prosperity of every city, there must be shadows.

The capital of Demacia is no exception.

After leaving the broad and flat road, Huo Jixing entered a slightly narrow road, as if he was walking back and forth, gradually moving away from the central area of ​​Xiongdu.

However, more and more Demacians were encountered along the way.

They were dressed plainly, wearing dark gray linen clothes with a single color and simple style.

The houses on the streets on both sides are closely connected, and the architectural style is similar to that of the grand square. Mottled colors and traces of time can be seen faintly on the walls.

Huo Jixing looked at it carefully.

These houses are often overcrowded and contain many members of the general population.

There was a commotion ahead.

Huo Jixing heard the news and went over and saw young children chasing and playing on the street.

Their clothes are shabby and their faces are dirty, but they still maintain innocent smiles.

Seeing Huo Jixing, the children gathered around him one after another, following his steps with curious eyes.

Huo Jixing searched in his pocket for some fine pieces of meat and distributed them to the children.

This is a snack for Snow White Poro.

But recently, the little guy fell into a drowsy state again and slept most of the time.

Crossing the street, Huo Jixing continued to move forward according to the marks left behind.

Finally, we stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated three-story hut.

Red golden light filled his eyes. Huo Jixing looked up and saw many clouds emerging.

"Hey, is there a transcendent, or three of them?"

Within his field of vision, among the many rising clouds, he saw three colorful clouds that were obviously different from ordinary people.

Just when Huo Jixing was about to knock on the door, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corner of the alley.

He immediately hid in the darkness, surrounded by dim mist, covering up all his breath.

"Lightbringer Temple?"

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered as he recognized the identity of the group of people who appeared in front of him.

The white robes they wore were exactly the same as the Lightbringer healers they had seen before.

These people from the Lightbringer Temple walked along the streets, knocked on the doors, gave some food and clothes, and talked softly with the Demacians.

They continued the above actions until they closed the door.

"Is this preaching?"

Huo Jixing looked at the scene playing out in front of him. It was the same as some missionary scenes he had seen in his previous life.

Also, the Lightbringer Temple has a very high status in the Kingdom of Demacia.

It is better to give food and clothing and persuade people to believe in religion than to force them.

After the people from the Lightbringer Temple left, Huo Jixing walked out and knocked on the door of the three-story hut.

Three long and four short, after several times of priorities.

The old door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man wearing a hood looked at Huo Jixing.

"Have Dawn told you?"

Huo Jixing threw out the token in his hand and looked at the old house.

The middle-aged man took the token, looked at it carefully, and then his expression changed: "I have met Mr. Huo Jixing."

Then the middle-aged man led the way into the inner house and twisted the mechanism on the cracked wall.

Kaka! Kaka!

The sound of machinery sounded, the walls moved to both sides, and a deep tunnel appeared in front of them.

Huo Jixing followed the middle-aged man into the tunnel.

After walking a few dozen meters, the two came to a wide and clean cave.

"How to abandon the previous location?"

Huo Jixing looked around the cave. It looked like it had been built for a long time, but he probably had just moved in. There were still signs of cleaning around it.

"It's a long story. You can ask Lord Francis."

The middle-aged man pointed to the room in the center of the cave, bowed and left slowly.

Huo Jixing withdrew his gaze, walked over, and gently knocked on the wooden door.

"Come in!"

A steady voice came from inside the door.

Huo Jixing pushed the door open and saw an energetic old man wearing a black coat, sitting behind his desk, handling matters in his hands.

When the old man heard the footsteps, he looked up and saw Huo Jixing's face, his expression hesitant.

Then he thought of something, stood up in a hurry, and walked over steadily.

"Francis Aguilar, you can call me Francis." The old man stretched out his left hand with a slightly respectful tone.

It is different from Dawn who was promoted due to her military exploits.

Francis was born into the nobility of the Noxus Empire and had his own intelligence system.

Within the empire, many nobles had a bad attitude towards Huo Jixing.

But with Huo Jixing's current status and strength, the nobles already knew that they could not stop his rise.

Whether it is the close relationship between Huo Jixing and His Majesty Swain, as well as General Darius.

It was his almost heroic strength that destined him to reach the top of the empire.

"Huo Jixing, just call me Xing."

A trace of surprise flashed in Huo Jixing's eyes, and he hid it well, reaching out to hold it lightly.

"Excuse me this time."

Before leaving the Noxian Empire, he was briefly seconded to the Lesser Garrison.

Swain has no tasks for him yet.

Coming to the capital of Demacia this time was Huo Jixing's personal act.

It's just that he regrets it now. The seemingly peaceful environment of the Kingdom of Demacia has attracted the attention of many demons.

He intended to leave the Kingdom of Demacia directly after this trip to the capital.

"Master Huo Jixing came just in time."

Francis smiled, with a humble attitude, turned around and took out a piece of letterhead from the table.

"The Commander-in-Chief has a task for you."

Hearing this, Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, took the letter, and opened it casually.

The content of the letter is very simple, to help a person leave Xiongdu.

"who is it?"

Huo Jixing lit a flame at his fingertips, burned the letter, and looked at Francis with doubts in his heart.

This mission is a bit strange. Assisting people to leave?

After he entered the capital of Demacia, although he felt that the atmosphere was somewhat solemn, it was not yet under martial law throughout the city.

"My lord, please follow me." Francis led the way.

After leaving the room, he took Huo Jixing to the corner of the cave, where there was a room that was almost integrated with the wall.

dong dong!dong dong!

After knocking on the door, Francis stepped back and waited silently.

Huo Jixing looked confused when he saw this.

Although Francis's current attitude is very humble, he is the person in charge of the Reiser Garrison in the capital of Demacia.

How could someone here ask him to be so respectful?

"who is it?"

After a while, a cold voice came from behind the door.

"It's me, miss." Francie bowed slightly and spoke softly.

"The person assigned by the Commander-in-Chief has arrived and needs you to meet him."

After a moment of silence, the cold sound continued.

"come in."

Francis turned around, nodded to Huo Jixing, and opened the door.

As soon as he entered the room, Huo Jixing smelled a strong smell of blood, which was mixed with an unpleasant smell, which seemed to be the smell of herbs.

Keep up with Frances.

Under the bright yellow light, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. Ominous Blade Katarina!

On the elegant bed, Catalina was putting away her silver armor, her face extremely pale.

There was a blood-stained bandage on his side, and he looked like he was seriously injured.

"Huo Jixing?"

Catalina looked over, her black eyes narrowed, and a wild aura suddenly emerged.

Because of the bloody scar across his left eye, it hinted at a fierce look.

"Lady Katarina."

Huo Jixing saluted and looked at this young lady from the Du Cacao family out of the corner of his eye.

Silver gray shoulder pads and arm pads, paired with a black leather jacket, show off your extremely sexy and slim figure.

Colorful gray tattoos can be seen on her waist as thin as white paper.

What caught Huo Jixing's attention the most was the long crimson hair that spread over his shoulders and the covered buttocks.

After meeting Catalina, he also understood why Francis's attitude was so respectful.

The Du Cecao family is one of the most prominent families in the Noxus Empire.

The prominence mentioned here is not just status, but also refers to the strength possessed.

Except for General Du Kecao who has disappeared.

The Du Cacao family also has two heroes, Katarina, the Ominous Blade, and Cassiopeia, the Embrace of the Serpent.

Even if the relationship between the two is very difficult.

Blade Shadow Talon also has a very different relationship with the Du Kecao family.

You know, militarism is prevalent in the Noxus Empire.

A woman's first responsibility is to raise strong children and carry on the family line for her husband who joins the army.

But some women do not regard nurturing as their nature.

Catalina is one of the most eye-catching representatives.

She quickly stood out in the Noxus Empire with her terrifying talent for killing, her own hard work, and the guidance of General Du Couture.

Even Catalina's fiery personality is a double-edged sword that can hurt others and herself.

But never question her loyalty to the Empire.

Katarina is the symbol of Noxian patriotism!

"I've heard your name." Katrina spoke softly, looking at Huo Jixing with wild eyes.

"You once partnered with Tai Lung and completed the mission together."

"Yes."

Huo Jixing nodded, recalling the experience with Tai Long, and a smile appeared on his lips.

I have to say that Katarina's cold temperament is somewhat similar to Tyrone.

"Then I'll be in trouble this time."

Catalina stood up, her steps a little frivolous, but her expression was calm, showing no emotion, and she walked slowly towards the back room.

Huo Jixing had a wink and left the room with Francis.

Return to the middle of the cave.

"Don't mind, sir, that's just the character of the lady." Francis smiled bitterly and apologized slightly to Huo Jixing.

"You and the Du Kecao family?" Huo Jixing looked confused.

"I served under General du Cucault as a bodyguard," Francis replied.

"Oh, so that's it." Huo Jixing expressed understanding.

He has some understanding of Catalina's character, which stems from the teachings of his strict father, General Du Cacao, and Catalina's past failures.

"How could she be injured?" Huo Jixing asked curiously.

In Demacia's capital, with Katarina's strength, as long as she didn't attack Dawn Castle and Lightbringer Temple, she shouldn't have suffered such serious injuries.

"Sorry, Mr. Huo Jixing, I really don't know about this." Francis hesitated for a while and looked in the direction of Catalina.

"It seems to be the young lady's own secret mission. It may be related to the unexpected death of Jiawen III."

"Jarvan III?"

Huo Jixing was shocked in his heart, and after considering Catalina's injury, he had some suspicions in his heart.

"On the surface, the capital seems very peaceful now, but in fact it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside."

"There are secret sentries in various places, and there are also demon-seeking corps conducting routine inspections."

Francis introduced the situation of Demacia's capital to Huo Jixing in detail, but he was also worried in his heart.

"I suggest you wait until the lady's injury gets better before you consider leaving."

He glanced at Huo Jixing, saw that the adult was in a listening state, and continued to speak.

"This location was prepared a long time ago. Except for our own people, no one else can find it."

"Okay, let's wait until Katarina recovers from her injuries."

Huo Jixing nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.

He had just met Catalina. Although she looked normal on the surface, he still saw that Catalina was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Her vitality and blood were seriously injured, and her strength had dropped to a low point.

"By the way, when you leave the original location, do you still retain the intelligence information?"

"Yes." Francis replied respectfully.

"Well, please prepare one, I need it." Huo Jixing said.

"Okay." Francis bowed.

"Lord Huo Jixing, the room is ready. You can take a rest. We will send intelligence information later."

As soon as Francis finished speaking, the middle-aged man who disappeared before came over and took Huo Jixing to his resting place.

The preparation room was between Francis and Caterina.

"Sir, this is your room." The middle-aged man opened the door and pointed to the clean and tidy house.

"If you need, you can use the sound tube to call my name."

The middle-aged man introduced the bronze pipes in the room to Huo Jixing.

In order to transmit messages in the underground cave, there are intricate sound transmission tubes in each different room, making rapid communication a reality.

"This is technology from Piltover."

"Your name?" Huo Jixing suppressed his inner curiosity and kept his expression calm.

"Asset, you can call me at any time." Asset said respectfully.

"Yeah." Huo Jixing nodded.

Seeing Asette leaving, he began to look at the room in front of him.

But it is relatively clean and tidy, with all the furniture available, and the table in the middle is filled with food.

In the slum area, although the environment here is not as good as the residence in Mithril City, it is much better than the slum area in the Immortal Fortress.

At least the air is good and not filled with unbearable stench.

After carefully looking at the room, Huo Jixing came to the door and inspected the so-called sound transmission tube.

Similar to the copper-colored sound transmission tube in the past life memory, it can solve communication problems in closed areas.

Then he received the intelligence information from the Reese Guard Secretariat, which was sent by Aset.

Huo Jixing saw some key information in it, which completely changed his view of the Kingdom of Demacia.

The founding policy of the Kingdom of Demacia has changed.

From once prohibiting magic, now I want to open the door to magic.

As well as the emergence of rune weapons, we can see the harbingers of policy changes.

According to the intelligence information, the magic armor Galen wore and the silver giant sword he held were both rune weapons.

In addition, the Dulang family can be seen vaguely contributing to the change in the founding policy.

"Forbidden Demon Stone Carving Skills!"

Huo Jixing saw the specially marked intelligence information.

This is the path the Kingdom of Demacia seeks to confront the supernatural and magical.

　Please refresh, the update is quite hasty and there are some changes at the end.
