The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 213 Light and Dark Winged Protector

Dusk fades and night falls.

The color of the sky gradually changed from orange to deep blue and black.

The stars began to twinkle in the sky, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility to the dark night sky.

In a dark and quiet alley.

A group of priests from the Lightbringer Temple wearing white robes were knocking on the doors door to door.

Promote the teachings of the Temple of Light and also give away some food.

Amidst the elegant tunes of praise, the priests bowed and left, closing the old door.

Under the bright moonlight, the priests clasped their hands together, maintained a pious look, and continued to the next house.

In the Temple of Lightbringer, priests and nuns have different responsibilities.

Priests are clergy who are responsible for presiding over temple worship services, preaching, baptisms, marriage ceremonies, funerals, etc.

The nuns are the female clergy who live in the temple.

Often work in education, nursing, and charity.

There are also some highly qualified and devout nuns who will go to local cities in the Kingdom of Demacia to perform missionary work in one place.

"Do you want to continue?"

The dark night wind blew, and a young priest spoke among the advancing team.

"It's already so late, most of the believers must have already rested."

"Listening to the teachings of light is the happiness of believers."

After hearing this, the elderly pastor walking at the front of the team said in a gentle tone: "Miss Kashina wants us to complete the missionary work in this area."

But he also sensed the atmosphere in the team.

He glanced at the priest behind him and then at the dark environment.

After hesitating for a while, he said softly: "Then let's finish preaching in this alley, and we'll come back tomorrow morning."

"Ok."

The silent team responded.

Even though they are the most devout believers in the light, spending almost a day preaching has made them quite exhausted.

The old priest had a smile on his old face and was ready to lead the people to move on.

As if remembering something, he turned around and looked behind him.

This secret operation was specially arranged by Miss Kashina.

In addition to them, there were also disguised Lightbringer temple guards behind them, wearing linen clothes.

But as soon as the elderly pastor turned around, he had to stop.

Within his field of vision, in the dark alley, a red-gold flame was extinguishing.

The guards of the Lightbringer Temple who were responsible for protecting their safety all disappeared.

What appeared in the field of vision was a tall figure wearing a black cloak.

As if aware of someone's gaze, the figure in a black cloak slowly raised his head, and a pair of red-gold eyes made the elderly priest's body tremble involuntarily.

The people behind him noticed the strange state of the elderly priest.

He also chose to look back, his body trembling as well.

"The long night falls upon the world."

"Light is born into the world."

"Looking towards the south."

"Pray for peace."

The elderly priest sang in a low voice a hymn in praise of the Winged Protector, and the priests behind him also sang together, as if they wanted to drive away the darkness in their hearts.

But with the sound of footsteps approaching.

A young pastor couldn't hold on, his eyes were full of fear, and his voice was choked with sobs.

"Don't be afraid, children." The old priest looked calmly and looked directly at the terrifying figure approaching him.

"We will meet again in the bright world."

puff!

What greeted him was the harsh light of fireworks and swords.

"Lightbringer Temple!"

Huo Jixing whispered softly, his eyes cold.

Very unexpected situation.

He originally thought that it would be the Demon Seekers Legion or the Fearless Vanguard Legion that would be tracking Aset.

But he didn’t expect that it was the Lightbringer Temple that he preached about before.

Also, only the Temple of the Lightbringer has such a great reputation in the slum areas, and it is possible to find the hiding place of the Reiser Guard Secret.

Huo Jixing looked at the remaining panicked young priests, and waved the red fire blade in his hand mercilessly.

puff!puff!puff!

The flickering light of the sword seemed like the scythe of death, quietly harvesting the lives of the priests.

Crackling!

Little bits of Nanli fire jumped out from Huo Jixing's fingertips.

Under his careful control, the corpses on the ground were quickly ignited without leaving any traces.

After cleaning up the mess in front of him, he looked around, his pupils filled with red-golden light.

Many clouds spread across the field of vision.

Some of the clouds stayed in place, representing the resting Demacians.

And some clouds are moving slowly, and they are the people from the Lightbringer Temple.

"Tsk tsk, there are quite a few people."

Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders, disappeared into the darkness, and followed the guidance of the clouds towards the people of the Lightbringer Temple scattered throughout the place.

Under the gloomy night.

In the quiet atmosphere, a ruthless killing was taking place.

The sharp sword light cut through the night, like a demon with its fangs spread, silently harvesting the lives of everyone in the Lightbringer Temple.

The half-moon hanging in the sky seems to be unable to bear to see the killing scene below, hidden behind the clouds.

The originally soft moonlight became pale and weak, as if in silent mourning for this tragic scene.

Da da! Da da!

The sound of rapid steps sounded.

I saw a blond man wearing a long white cap, running under the night.

He stumbled and ran, his face flushed as if he wanted to shout for help.

But fear tightened its grip around his throat.

He didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of the pursuer behind him, so he could only run forward desperately.

"Teacher, Challis, and Zundaan and the others"

The young priest clenched his fists, his green eyes filled with anger and grief.

He knew deep down that he had to stay calm.

Even in the face of death, one cannot give up hope.

However, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in the dim night, urging him to run away quickly to avoid becoming the next life to be harvested.

"Hurry, hurry, the nearest rescue place is the Demon Searcher Post."

"No, no, I need to go to Miss Kashina's residence. I must inform her that the situation has changed and that the target I am looking for has reacted."

Huo Jixing followed the young pastor calmly, surrounded by mist, hiding his figure.

His eyes were cold and his expression was calm.

The young priest running under the night was the bait he specially set out.

The purpose is to see if we can catch interesting targets.

Under the guidance of the fugitives, Huo Jixing slowly arrived at a majestic castle.

The castle towers into the clouds, and its light shines like a beacon in the darkness, giving people hope and protection.

The moment the young priest saw the castle, a look of madness appeared on his flushed face. He quickened his pace and ran towards the giant iron-clad door.

puff!

Suddenly.

A green mist surged out and enveloped the young priest, pulling him into the darkness behind him.

Huo Jixing held the young priest's neck with one hand, ignoring the beating of his weak arms, and turned sideways to look at the castle in his field of vision.

The reason why this guy was able to run over was inseparable from the preparations he made along the way, otherwise someone would have noticed the suspicious traces of the young priest.

Huo Jixing glanced at the castle from a distance, then carried the young priest into the dim street on one side.

After a while.

A low roar suddenly appeared in the darkness, full of pain, wailing, and despair.

Then another red-gold firework flickered and went out.

"The Bouvier family?"

Huo Jixing gently shook his left hand, as if to shake away the blood stained during torture.

"Is it connected to the Lightbringer Temple?"

He looked carefully at this majestic castle standing in the aristocratic area with a puzzled expression.

According to the information from the Leiser Guard Secretariat, the current heir of the Bouvier family is the Fairy Sona.

Is she connected to the Lightbringer Temple?

But something is wrong.

Sona is not a native Demacian, but an Ionian.

Her ability to inherit the Bouvier family is the result of Mrs. Lestara's efforts to sacrifice her face and run around. Now it's involved with the Lightbringer Temple?

Or was Lux the one pulling the strings?

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered and his thoughts surged.

He remembered that during the previous concert, Lux and Kashina went backstage because it was related to them.

and many more!

Huo Jixing's heart moved, as if he thought of something, his expression became solemn.

Kahina Bouvier!

He suddenly remembered the intelligence information about Kashina who gave up the inheritance rights of the Bouvier family.

Now connected, it all makes sense.

Kashina Bouvier has long since joined the Order of the Illuminator.

The Illuminator has considerable power within the Lightbringer Temple.

Huo Jixing looked at the sky, saw the bright moon hidden in the clouds, and walked towards the quiet Bouvier Castle.

Now that you have found this place, you must go in and have a look.

"do not let me down!"

Bouville Castle.

In the capital of Demacia, it was an inconspicuous castle a hundred years ago.

But due to the relationship between Barrett Bouvier and Jarvan III, he gradually became prominent.

But with Barrett's death, it gradually declined.

However, with the existence of Sona and Kashina, the Bouvier family still has a place in the capital.

In the main castle, silver-white stone lamps were lit along the corridor.

Swaying in the night wind, it emits a soft glow, adding a touch of warmth and tranquility to the dark night.

In front of the main castle gate, rows of noble private soldiers wearing armor guarded the palace with solemn expressions.

They looked ahead and were alert.

However, in the night sky above their heads, there was a mass of mist, approaching the main castle.

Huo Jixing used the fog to sneak into the main castle quietly.

Under the soft light, he stepped on the soft carpet and headed straight to the third floor with a clear purpose.

As soon as he stepped onto the third floor, Huo Jixing heard subtle sounds of the piano.

The sound of the piano is like a trickle, melodious and graceful, seeming to tell an ancient and mysterious story.

In the sound of the piano, he also felt bursts of magical energy.

"Sona?"

Huo Jixing instantly recognized who the owner of the music was. It was so beautiful.

"It's so late and I'm still practicing."

"Sure enough, what I fear most is that talented people work harder than you."

Huo Jixing looked around and landed on the door of the middle bedroom.

In his field of vision, the clouds in the bedroom were the thickest.

Then he followed the sound of the piano, found the window, and sneaked in quietly.

In the warm bedroom, the color scheme leans toward blue, and a chandelier lights up the dome.

On the northeast wall of the room, an exquisite wooden table is placed, with a shining guqin on it.

A tall woman in a blue dress was sitting in front of the piano. Her slender fingers gently touched the strings, and the sound of the piano flowed out like spring water.

Huo Jixing hid in the balcony and wanted to just listen quietly.

Suddenly, Jue Hua trembled and floated in mid-air.

Sona immediately realized that there were other people in the room, and hurriedly plucked the strings, and layers of beautiful energy surrounded her.

There are dark green, blue, and purple, which represent different energy attributes.

But Sona looked around her room, but there was no sign of anyone else.

"Ok?"

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows lightly, knowing that he had been exposed.

He looked at Jue Hua, very curious about this ancient relic.

But so far, no one can snatch this ancient relic from Sona.

No matter what method is used, Jihua will automatically return to Sona's side.

"I'm so damned!"

Huo Jixing was about to speak when he immediately realized something. Sona was mute.

Without knowing sign language, he was unable to communicate with Sona.

Huo Jixing looked deeply at the vigilant Sona, backed up, blended into the darkness, and walked away slowly.

In Bouvier Castle, except for Sona, he found no trace of Kashina.

Inside the bedroom room.

Sona still kept playing the piano, and colorful magical energy flowed.

It wasn't until Luo Hua stopped trembling that she realized that the target who had broken into the room had left.

"Who is it?"

Sona's blue eyes blinked, full of confusion.

Even if the target left, she never relaxed her vigilance. Holding Juo Hua in her arms, she retreated to the door and waited for the night to disappear.

Inside the cave.

Huo Jixing came back with a relaxed pace and saw Asset silently guarding the door of his room.

"How's your body?"

Huo Jixing walked over and said hello.

"It has been completely recovered." Asset looked at him with admiration and looked respectful.

"Lady Katarina asked you to come over and meet her when you come back."

Huo Jixing nodded slightly, patted Asette's shoulder, and walked towards Catalina's room.

But over the course of the night, Catalina's condition improved little.

Obviously, each hero will have different trump cards and face different dangers.

Then he and Catalina talked softly, telling everything about the night.

"Lightbringer Temple!"

Catalina's eyes were solemn, and the bloody scar across her left eye added a touch of fierceness to her.

"Have you ever heard of the Winged Protector?"

When Huo Jixing heard this, he shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't know.

"There is a long-lost epic poem in the library of the Kingdom of Demacia." Katarina whispered softly.

"It's about the power behind Demacia."

"Under the star-lit dome!"

"One light, one dark."

"Kyle and Morgana."

"Sisters with entangled fates were born hand in hand."

Catalina's voice rose and fell as she softly sang the epic passages.

"Justice Angel Kyle, Fallen Angel Morgana!"

Huo Jixing reacted immediately and spoke out the names of the great beings included in the epic.

"The Winged Protector refers to the Angel of Justice Kyle?" he asked in confusion.

"Do not."

Katarina lowered her eyes, a trace of hatred reflected in her pupils.

"It's the fallen angel Morgana!"

"She is protecting Demacia from behind!"

Catalina thought of the [Ode to the Winged Sisters] recorded in the epic.

This poem, buried in the dust of history, records the dispute between the light and the dark flame in the Kingdom of Demacia.

And in the final chapter.

The Angel of Justice, Kyle, couldn't stand the repeated repetitions of mortals, and completely abandoned the country he once protected——

Kingdom of Demacia.

But legends of her punishing wrongdoers with her flaming sword persist, and the hope that she will eventually return persists.

Another great being, the fallen angel Morgana, made a different choice.

She did not give up the country she protected and kept her promise.

Fight against all laws and traditions that you think are unjust.

She casts shields of protection and chains of dark flames from the darkness of Demacia, fighting those who seek to suppress the truth.

Most importantly, Morgana believed.

Even the exiled and abandoned may one day be restored to life.

Huo Jixing couldn't hide his horror when he heard Catalina's detailed account.

Normally, when you hear the word of light, you will definitely think of the righteous angel Kyle, not the fallen angel Morgana.

But he never thought that the winged protector refers to the fallen angel Morgana!
