The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 345 Are you the one who wants to pick up my sister?

Immortal Fortress, in the audience hall.

Huo Jixing saw Swain again and handed the token back with a respectful expression.

His eyes fell on the token, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Entering the imperial treasure house this time was a good opportunity for him, allowing him to see countless rare magic rune items.

Swain took the token, glanced at the three runic items in Huo Jixing's hand, and nodded lightly.

"Good taste."

[Mikael's Blessing] was a trophy he obtained after attacking an ancient temple in the Ionian War.

Rumor has it that it is a magical rune item carried by an ancient being named Mikael, which has incredible abilities.

[Silent Promise] is a high-level rune item that has been collected by the empire before, and it has a certain effect even on legendary powerhouses.

When Huo Jixing left the Immortal Fortress and came to the door, he looked around and found no trace of Catalina.

[Fragments of Violence], he put them in the treasure house specifically to see if Huo Jixing would choose.

In the "Yunyou Illustrated Book", the source of this war points to——

However, Swain was still thinking silently, and his expression did not change due to the appearance of the wings.

At the same time, she was also the eldest daughter of the legendary general Du Cecao.

This surprised him very much, and he also knew the terrifying growth rate of protoss geniuses.

The soft murmurs mixed with the steps disappeared into the audience hall.

Huo Jixing did not stay and chose to return to his residence alone.

Such as Rune Wars.

As a result, the barrier between the physical and spiritual realms became fragmented, and the souls of the dead were imprisoned in eternal torment by the entangled black mist.

"Although it is only a small piece, not as good as the fragment owned by Darius, it can still be regarded as a world rune."

Combined with the calendar promulgated by the Noxus Empire, Huo Jixing vaguely understood the reason for the Rune War.

"Interesting, I actually left [Fragment of Violence] unselected!" Swain was thoughtful.

But within the Empire, there are the Pale Lady and the Black Rose, Vladimir and the Scarlet Order, and other secret societies hidden in the shadows.

"I am very satisfied with your recent mission performance. I hope you can make good use of these magic rune items and contribute to the empire." Swain said with a smile.

Huo Jixing flipped to the page where the world's runes were previously written, and found the record about the rune war at the top.

He immediately nodded in agreement, exchanged a few words, bowed and left.

As he walked, he played with the [Wandering Illustrated Book] in his hand.

In addition to recording some special magical rune items, the illustrated book also records local customs and ancient deeds.

"Not bad, thank you Lord Swain for your generosity."

But in the Stillwater Prison incident, Huo Jixing, who had just entered the legend, actually destroyed Vladimir's clone.

He also knew very well in his heart that Swain wanted to grow up as soon as possible and share the pressure faced by Trifali Council.

"Can the destiny track recorded in the records of the Star Spirit and the Bearer be broken?"

The corner of Huo Jixing's mouth raised, he was very satisfied with what he had gained from the empire's treasure house.

Therefore, Swain needs a sharp scalpel to pick and dig them out.

His deep eyes were filled with ripples, as if he was thinking about something.

As for the [Wandering Illustrated Book], he was a little surprised. He didn't expect Huo Jixing to choose this rather special item.

In the situation where General Du Quecaou disappears for no reason, she needs to support the Du Quecaou family.

He thought that she must be busy with her own affairs.

After all, they have long been attached to the huge roots of the empire, intricately intertwined.

On Blessed Light Island, the arcane secret vault beneath Hylia accidentally exploded.

Faintly, the surrounding air twisted, and dark demon wings emerged.

It wasn't until Huo Jixing completely disappeared from his perception that he slowly put away the demon wings behind his back, and his eyes became deep and calm.

After the secret mission of the Demacia Empire ended, he was already very optimistic about Huo Jixing's growth.

There are some differences between the ancient writing and the current writing, but in general it can be understood.

Everyone is eyeing the supreme power of the empire!
These forces are somewhat powerless with the military power of the empire.

Swain stayed there for a moment, staring at Huo Jixing's leaving figure.

Huo Jixing felt a chill in his heart, feeling that Swain's words contained deep meaning, as if he knew something.

Katarina is not only a high-ranking officer of the Leiser Guard Corps, but also has the name of the Ominous Blade.

The appearance of demon wings instantly transformed Swain's temperament into a majestic and mysterious one, transforming him from an empire leader into a demon monarch.

Outside the empire, Darius, the Hand of Noxus, suppressed threats from all sides, and Huojixing's help was not needed in this regard.

Since then, the blessing has turned into shadow.

Soul Eating Night also comes from Shadow Island.

But that was only the beginning. The fall of Hylia's Arcane Vault caused many magic artifacts to fall into the hands of people with evil intentions.

This is where the Rune War begins.

Moreover, according to the records in the "Wandering Illustrated Book", there were many forces and extraordinary beings secretly searching for world runes at that time in order to rule the continent of Valoran.

As a result, the world runes scattered all over the world were also affected by the war. There were very few intact ones and most of them were broken.

Three-story building, in the study room.

Huo Jixing casually closed the [Yunyou Illustrated Book] in his hand and sighed softly.

"Power moves people's hearts."

Just like the Noxus Empire, which is now in glory again, there are countless forces secretly trying to overthrow the rule of Swain and the Trifari Council.

While thinking, Huo Jixing heard the sound of 'woo woo', turned his head and looked at the corner, and saw the snow-white Poro eating something secretly.

"Haha, this little guy"

He chuckled and immediately stood up and went over to hold down the snow-white Poro.

"do not move!"

The snow-white Poro was frightened and stretched out his paws in panic to hug the food, refusing to let go.

Huo Jixing looked helpless. He would not snatch the food it had bitten.

He took out [Mikael's Blessing] from his arms and tied it around the snow-white Poro's neck with a soft and slender string.

"Whew!"

The snow-white Poro was a little silly. He didn't know what was going on. He shook his plush head gently and made a crisp bell sound.

"Remember, little guy, when I'm in danger, use it directly on me."

Huo Jixing picked up the snow-white Poro, put it in front of his eyes, looked into his golden eyes, and warned.

Although this little guy looks stupid, after raising him for so long, he can still recognize dangerous situations.

This can be regarded as the trump card he left behind.

[Spiritual Wind] already has the rune attribute to resist abnormal conditions, plus he usually carries it with him.

Therefore, [Mikael's Blessing] may have unexpected effects when placed on Snow White Poro.

After all, who would have thought of equipping a pet with a high-level magical runic item?

The snow-white Poro blinked his eyes, looked at the bell on his chest, and nodded innocently.

When Huo Jixing let go of it, the bell rang as soon as it hit the ground.

Snow White Poro seemed to have found a new toy and started playing with it happily.

It stretched out its paws and fiddled with the golden bell on its chest, while listening to the sound of the bells in its ears.

Then in the room, it circled Huo Jixing and ran happily, making a "squeaking" sound from its mouth, intertwined with the crisp sound of bells.

Dusk.

Inside and outside the capital of Noxus, things gradually became lively and the smell of fireworks filled the air.

After a busy day, Noxians enjoy this rare moment of leisure and get together with their families.

Huo Jixing ended his meditation and brought the snow-white Poro to the restaurant.

Haynie had already prepared dinner.

"Let's eat together."

He looked at Hainie and motioned for him to sit down.

Soft lighting fills the restaurant.

Huo Jixing enjoyed the delicious food and special liquor in front of him.

Heini admired Huo Jixing's skills very much and would ask for advice on some skills while eating.

Huo Jixing also shared his experience and insights patiently and patiently answered Heini's doubts.

With his current skill level and the blessings from many constellations of talent, he is enough to be praised as a 'human arsenal'.

dong dong!

Just halfway through dinner, while the two were communicating, there was a knock on the door.

Hainie stood up quickly and went to open the door. "Lord Draven!"

Hainie's respectful voice came.

Huo Jixing swallowed the food in his mouth and followed the sound, and Delevingne's figure came into view.

This glorious executioner still looks wild and unruly.

The wolfskin cloak is on the shoulders, and the broom-like hairstyle stands on top of the head.

Even though it was winter, he was still bare-chested and had tattoos on his arms.

"Have you eaten yet?" Huo Jixing stood up with a smile and asked.

Delevingne looked at Huo Jixing, who had extraordinary temperament, with a complicated and envious expression.

He has always been very optimistic about Huo Jixing and wanted to draw him into the Knox Scalia Arena.

Unfortunately, Huo Jixing was not here and refused his invitation many times.

But now, Draven understands in his heart.

With Huo Jixing's current position of power, he really doesn't need to perform in the arena to prove his worth.

His fame has spread throughout the high society of the Noxian Empire.

Draven looked at the dining table, shrugged his shoulders, and showed a relaxed smile.

"There happened to be a performance today, so I ate early."

He found a seat and sat down, picked up the bacon and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Are you free tomorrow night?"

After eating a few pieces, he stopped, wiped off the grease stains on his fingers, and told the purpose of coming here.

"There was a party to celebrate the Trifali Army's complete victory over the rebellion in the southwest, and their triumphant return."

Draven's words were filled with pride and joy.

Although he devoted himself to the gladiatorial arena and promoted the name of glorious executioner.

But his heart was still focused on the Empire's military operations, especially those commanded by his brother Darius.

Huo Jixing nodded slightly, understanding that this was a gathering of the empire's upper-level warlords.

"Has General Darius returned?"

He had previously known that General Darius led the Trefari Legion to eliminate rebellions in the southwestern region of the empire.

"I will return to the capital tomorrow." Draven replied.

"Where is the location? Knox Scalia Arena?"

"Yes."

"Well, no problem, I will attend on time tomorrow."

As an old subordinate of Darius, Huo Jixing had also been taken care of by Draven, so he would definitely attend this banquet.

The next day, night.

Knox Scalia Arena.

Under Draven's management, this majestic arena has become the most famous arena in the Noxus Empire.

It attracts gladiatorial competition fans from all over the country every day, creating a bustling market for the Liquidators.

In the evening, it is usually the busiest time of the day at the Knoxkalia Arena.
But tonight, a sign was put up to close the business.

This caused many gladiator fans to wander around the nearby streets.

Huo Jixing withdrew his eyes and, under the guidance of the waiter, went to the banquet hall located inside the arena.

He was now wearing purple armor, with a long sword hanging on his waist, and he looked heroic.

The snow-white Poro on his shoulders looked curious, observing the surrounding environment.

"Lord Huo Jixing, please come in."

The waiter opened the door and bowed.

Huo Jixing raised his eyes and saw a luxurious banquet before his eyes.

Above the dome, the glazed lamps shine with a charming glow, like stars in the night sky, scattering mottled light and shadow.

The soft red carpet is like a sea of ​​blooming roses, spreading quietly on the ground.

The banquet hall was full of people, each one wearing a gorgeous dress, with exquisite brooches pinned to their bodies.

There were smiles on their faces, they were chatting happily, or they were toasting to celebrate.

However, these people are also divided into different circles, each occupying an area.

As soon as Huo Jixing entered, he noticed many people looking at him.

His handsome face and purple armor are the reasons why he attracts attention.

This set of purple armor is the standard armor for high-ranking officers of the Reese Guard Corps.

He found this set of armor at the bottom of the closet. Since he usually performed tasks, it was almost forgotten in the corner.

A high-ranking military officer is very ordinary in this banquet.

But the high-level legions of the Leather Guard Corps were unusual. They were led by Swain behind them.

Huo Jixing paid no attention to these appraising glances, ignored everyone's comments, and walked to the corner of the banquet.

Even so, there are many people who want to come and strike up a conversation.

But before they could reach him, there was an invisible force stopping them from coming.

Huo Jixing picked up a glass cup filled with red wine from the long table, took a sip and tasted it.

The banquet has not officially started yet.

Everyone talked softly in different circles, and their classes were clearly defined, with no one overstepping their bounds.

While waiting, the leisurely Huo Jixing saw two familiar figures approaching.

One is a middle-aged man wearing a red and gray robe, with a gentle and friendly temperament, and piercing eyes that seem to be able to see into people's hearts.

One is a tall and strong man wearing heavy silver armor, his square and determined face is covered with wind and frost, and his iron-blooded temperament tells that he is a battle-hardened leader of the battle group.

"Lord Huo Jixing."

Wilson looked at the handsome young man in front of him and spoke softly, with an inexplicable change in his expression.

"Long time no see!"

Huo Jixing stood up, opened his arms, and gave Wilson a gentle hug.

"Yeah, Wilson, we haven't seen each other for a while."

Legion advisor Wilson, Darius's right-hand man, had helped Huo Jixing a lot.

Behind Wilson is Captain Ben Faron.

When fighting against the Winter's Claw tribe on the border of the North, he fought for the Noxus Empire with Hojistar.

"I heard that you won another great victory in the southwest of the empire. Congratulations." Huo Jixing said with a smile.

"Compared to the reputation you have gained, our victory is not worth mentioning." Wilson slowly shook his head.

As the legion advisor to General Darius, he had access to a lot of the empire's secret intelligence, and he knew in his heart that Huo Jixing's position of power was no longer what it used to be.

"I still miss my time fighting in the Freljord."

Huo Jixing changed the topic, raised the wine glass in his hand, and started drinking with Wilson and Captain Ben Farong.

They stood together and talked about the days of fighting in the past, with smiles on their faces.

"Ok?"

Huo Jixing suddenly stopped chatting, his eyes fell to the side, and when he saw Catalina in a red dress, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"how?"

Wilson spoke in confusion, followed his gaze, and saw the person walking over, looking extremely shocked.

"Is it Lady Katarina?"

Then, he saw Huo Jixing walking towards him quickly.

Catalina appeared in the banquet hall at this moment, like the most dazzling star.

The red evening dress burned like a flame, setting off her smooth white shoulders like the first snow in winter.

As she took steps, her extremely sexy figure swayed like a fiery red rose, exuding unique charm.

Even though Catalina is so eye-catching, few people in the bustling banquet hall dare to cast a glance.

The name of the Ominous Blade is widely known within the Noxus Empire.

"Why did you come here?" Huo Jixing asked curiously.

In his impression, Catalina has a relatively cold personality and would not like to attend such a banquet.

"Draven personally invited me." Katarina replied softly.

"Say you're here too."

When Huo Jixing heard this, his expression paused, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

Before he could speak, a crisp voice interrupted.

"You just want to pick up my sister?"
