The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 224 The secret of the assassination of the Colossus of Justice

Dawn is coming, and the dark night is gradually leaving.

The distant sky began to glow a faint fish belly white.

The silent Mithril City has regained its vitality and vitality, and bustling Demacians began to appear on the streets.

They are either hurrying to their place of work, or they are looking forward to a new dawn.

The Demacian people's unique principles of hard work, self-discipline, and diligence were clearly demonstrated at this moment.

Huo Jixing got up early, leaned against the window sill, and looked at the Demacians on the street with a lonely expression.

Hearing the movement outside the door, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and walked out of the room, just in time to see Dawn holding a dinner plate in his hand.

"morning!"

Huo Jixing strolled over, picked up the fragrant white bread, and ate it.

Before he finished eating, Catalina also walked out of the room, holding the snow-white Poro in her arms. Her long crimson hair was intertwined with the snow-white hair, creating a unique style.

Huo Jixing looked at the two people in front of him, thinking about what he unexpectedly saw last night, his expression became determined, and he spoke in a solemn voice.

"Dawn, please make arrangements. Catalina and I need to leave Mithril City early."

"What time?"

Dao En came over upon hearing the sound, and his deep face showed doubt at first, and then turned into determination.

"An hour later." Huo Jixing swallowed the venison in his hand and looked at Catalina.

"After getting ready, we will continue to go north, cross the border mountains, and enter the Freljord area."

Catalina took a sip of vegetable soup and nodded slightly, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Your injuries?"

"It's nothing serious. You can leave Misilver City." Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

Now, he was wearing a black gown, covering the wound on his abdomen, and there was nothing unusual about him.

"Is there something unexpected?"

Catalina thought that her conversation with Huo Jixing yesterday was normal, and she had no intention of leaving Mithril City in advance.

Huo Jixing nodded. With Catalina's keen perception, she definitely couldn't hide the past.

Then he whispered what he saw last night.

"Lux returned to Mithril City secretly. I suspect our whereabouts may have been exposed."

"Laxana Crownguard!"

When she heard Lux's name, Katarina's eyes flickered and she was thoughtful.

Then she immediately agreed to Huo Jixing's proposal and prepared to leave Mithril City and take a detour to Freljord.

In a quiet hotel.

Under Dawn's arrangements, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the materials Huo Jixing and Catalina needed along the way were almost ready.

"After we leave, pay attention to the movements in Mithril City."

Huo Jixing looked at Misilver City, which was full of bustling and noisy atmosphere, and gave instructions to Daun beside him.

"Once there is any abnormal movement, immediately abandon the hotel, move to a new safe point, and enter a lurking state."

"Until it is completely safe, contact the nearby Leiser Guard Secret Base."

"Okay." Dawn replied respectfully, looking at Catalina who was playing with the snow-white poro in her arms without trace.

"One day, I hope to meet Master Huo Jixing in the Noxus Empire."

"There will be a chance." Huo Jixing looked at Dawn's old face and spoke softly.

Reiser garrison.

It is the ace legion directly under Swain and one of the rights organizations under the Trifali Council.

Every Ryser garrison secretariat spread across the continent of Valoran has dedicated everything it has to returning the Noxus Empire to its former glory.

Falling autumn season.

The cold wind blew through the hills and fields, bringing with it a sense of desolation and loneliness, and golden fallen leaves covered both sides of the road.

Huo Jixing and Katarina dressed up carefully, followed the Demacia caravan that had been arranged, and left Mithril City safely.

The caravan's carriage moved forward slowly on the path with fallen leaves. The sound of horse hooves was light and rhythmic, intertwined with the soft hum of the autumn wind, seeming to express the sadness of parting.

Huo Jixing looked back at the Misilver City standing on the White Rock Highlands behind him, with a myriad of thoughts.

After leaving this time, I don’t know when I will return to Mithril City.

After all, this is Demacia, a city guarded by the Crownguard family.

He has many profound memories here.

"Demacia!"

Huo Jixing put away his divergent thoughts and sat side by side in the carriage with Catalina.

The caravan drifted away, leaving only the falling autumn leaves and the distant silhouette.

Time is long and flies by.

Around noon, the advancing caravan was ready to choose an open place to rest.

Da da! Da da! Da da!

On the wide straight road, the sound of horse hooves sounded like a sudden rain, and dust flew up.

The leader of the caravan looked behind him and saw a squad of armored knights approaching quickly on silver-armored horses.

Before he could react, the knight team in front of him immediately separated into three knights and drove their horses closer to the caravan.

"On the order of Miss Crown Guard, a routine inspection of the caravan was carried out."

The knight at the front dismounted, took out a piece of paper with the crown guard's insignia from his arms, and placed it in front of the caravan leader.

"Ok."

The caravan leader who just came over saw the Crown Guard badge and immediately said it was no problem.

Then he motioned to his guards and slaves to open the goods on the carriage.

Three heavily armed knights walked over, their eyes full of vigilance behind their visors.

They not only rummaged through the goods, but also examined the appearance and temperament of each person in the caravan one by one.

While they were conducting a detailed search.

The Demacia Knights team behind them did not wait for them and continued to gallop along the business road before disappearing from sight.

Faintly, they seemed to be looking for something or traces of someone.

Kingdom of Demacia, Northern Mountains.

In the fall of autumn, the endless forest seems to be covered with a layer of orange, and the bleak autumn wind blows gently, bringing up the fallen leaves.

Huo Jixing stood on the hill and looked at the magnificent scene in front of him.

At the end of the forest, jagged mountains stretch endlessly, interspersed with sheer cliffs and bottomless chasms.

"lets go!"

Huo Jixing let out a breath and looked at Catalina beside him.

After leaving the caravan halfway, they immediately headed north and entered this familiar mountain range.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The snow-white Poro lying on Katarina's shoulder also made a sound at the right time.

Because he was riding in a caravan carriage, Huo Jixing wanted to hide the little guy and wrap it in cotton cloth so that it wouldn't make any sound.

The little guy who was now liberated started to let himself go, shaking his head.

Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders, and after looking at each other casually with Catalina, he looked away and walked towards the mountains.

At the same time, Huo Jixing evoked the fire of Nanli, filling his eyes. He will not forget that there are many vanguard sentries of the Kingdom of Demacia lurking in this boundless northern mountain range.

Just because a mountain range is quiet now doesn't mean it's safe.

"What is the secret about Lux you are talking about?"

On the way, Huo Jixing saw that the atmosphere was a little quiet. He looked at Catalina beside him and asked.

After hearing this, Catalina gathered her crimson hair from her forehead, and an invisible smile appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"It has something to do with Silas, the traitor in the eyes of Demacians." Katarina's eyes flashed and she answered softly.

"Silas?" Huo Jixing paused and continued to listen.

"According to information from the Leiser Guard Secret Office, this notorious demon-stained person was once imprisoned in the prison of Xiongdu."

"Miss Crown Guard has had close contact with Silas for some unknown reason."

"But this lovely Miss Crown Guard underestimated the influence of the Crown Guard family in the capital, and the connection between them was quickly discovered."

"Silas, who was still on trial, was involuntarily sentenced to hanging and sent to the execution ground on the same day."

Catalina seemed to think of the interesting scene at that time, and the smile on her face was undisguised.

"But an accident happened. Silas actually opened the magic stone shackles on the execution ground, causing chaos in the capital."

"The Fearless Vanguard Legion, the Demon Seeker Legion, and even the palace guards began to round up Salas in the capital."

"It was also at that time that I saw the weakest moment of Dawn Castle's defense." Catalina's eyes grew colder, recalling the chaos in the capital at that time.

"But when I successfully sneaked in, I saw that Jarvan III had died mysteriously."

"I can't confirm who was responsible for the assassination of Jarvan III, but it must be related to the magical power of Demacia."

"In the end, when I was leaving, I was suddenly attacked by dark forces and was seriously injured."

Catalina talked about the final attack, a fierce look appeared in her eyes.

She really wanted to assassinate Jarvan III in order to highlight the prestige of the Du Couture family.

But she is not the one who steals the fruits of assassination.

"After subsequent follow-up investigations, I found that Silas's successful escape was closely related to Lux."

"Although there is no clear information that it is because of Lux that caused the chaos in the capital of Demacia."

"But my intuition is pretty much the same. Lux is definitely the source of chaos."

After Catalina finished speaking, she looked into Huo Jixing's eyes and pursed her lips.

"How about it? Isn't it an interesting secret?"

When Huo Jixing heard this, his eyes were dark and he was surprised deep in his heart.

In his past life memories, there were rumors about the secret connection between Lux and Silas.

Now hearing Katarina's words, the two are connected to each other, and we can see the truth about the chaos in Demacia's capital.

"Don't Prince Jiawen know?"

"Or will it be covered up by someone with serious intentions?"

Huo Jixing thought to himself as he thought about the impact that the assassination of Jarvan III had on the Kingdom of Demacia.

"The Lightshield family and the Crownguard family have a close relationship. They have been bound together since the birth of the Kingdom of Demacia."

"Galen and Lux ​​have grown up together with Prince Jarvan since they were young."

"How will Prince Jarvan face it if he knows the truth? How will Galen face it?"

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Just when Huo Jixing was thinking, he suddenly heard a cry from above the clouds.

Hearing the sound, Huo Jixing's eyes tightened as he saw the wandering Demacia Dragon Bird Knight.

And Lux!

"Sure enough, she understood my thoughts."

Huo Jixing looked at Lux, who was wearing a blue cloak and had long golden hair flying behind her back, and raised his eyebrows.

Perhaps he noticed Huo Jixing's eyes.

Lux, who was riding the Demacian dragonfowl and hovering on the clouds, immediately followed her inner intuition and looked down below.

Under the power of pure white refraction, the endless forest could not block her gaze.

The figures of Huo Jixing and Catalina reflected in the sea-blue pupils.

Lux's movements also attracted the attention of the nearby Demacia Dragon Bird Knight.

They immediately gathered around, and the Demacian dragonfowl beneath them spread their silver wings, and hurricanes came in, blowing the tree crowns.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Facing the power of Demacia's dragonfowl.

The snow-white Poro lying on Katarina's shoulder immediately curled up his head and shivered.

Then it jumped up and fell into Huo Jixing's arms, not daring to show its head.

Katarina looked up at the Demacia Dragon Bird Knight team in the sky, and pulled out the serrated dagger from her waist. The cold breath filled the surroundings, cutting through the autumn wind blowing over.

"careful!"

Catalina spoke in a deep voice, her eyes filled with solemnity.

In the blue sky, the Demacia Dragon Knights, led by Lux, quickly closed the distance.

"Four dragon bird knights, and Lux!" Katarina's eyes gradually darkened.

Although she had talked about Lux before, she didn't look down on Lux's strength.

On the contrary, the Reiser Guard Secretariat focused on the crown guard lady.

Suspected to have the power to control light!

When such extraordinary abilities grow, they pose a great threat to the Noxus Empire.

Katarina took a deep breath. In their current state, facing the siege of Lux and the Demacian dragonfowl, they might not be able to escape unscathed.

Above the sky, a Demacian dragon bird hung in the air.

When Lux saw the familiar figure below, a trace of hesitation flashed across her face, and finally a determined look appeared in her sea-blue eyes.

She took out her golden cane and held the gold-lacquered ebony handle. A wisp of pure white light filled the air.

Ever since Lux saw the traces of flames left by Huo Jixing in the capital of Demacia, she has been thinking about it.

Until I heard the news from Dawn Castle, as well as the news that the Fearless Vanguard Legion and the Lightbringer Temple had been severely damaged.

She decided to lead a team of Demacia dragon birds based on her guess and return to Mithril City secretly.

In a familiar place, through the power of refraction, you can see the familiar taste.

Lux immediately launched a pursuit along the northern border of the kingdom.

Finally, Huo Jixing and Katarina were intercepted in this forest near the Freljord area.

Lux ordered the Demacian Dragon Bird Knights on the side to use their high altitude advantage to harass and prevent the target from leaving.

And she raised the golden cane in her hand high, and the white light rose into the sky, driving away the clouds.

Below the mountains, in the dark forest.

Huo Jixing's expression changed immediately when he saw Lux's movements.

He had a deep memory of this kind of action, having seen it in the prison outside Mithril City.

Colossus of Justice Galio!

Lux is calling Galio to arrive.

"Are you so careful?" Huo Jixing frowned.

He didn't believe that Lux wouldn't know that he and Katarina were seriously injured.

Even so, she still wanted to call Galio.

　Send first and change later.
