Chapter 25 Good and Bad News Leaving the Camp
“Who is it?”
In the quiet bedroom, Huo Jixing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes with confusion on his face.
There is a clear prohibition in the Noxus camp. No movement is allowed at night. Violators will be severely punished.
Who would come to him so late at night, regardless of the camp ban?
Looking at the dark night outside the window, Huo Jixing looked slightly hesitant whether to open the door.
Then he seemed to remember something, his eyes brightened, and he quickly got up and went downstairs.
Squeak!
The door opened, and Huo Jixing saw a middle-aged man wearing a red and gray robe in the hazy night.
Wilson!
Huo Jixing suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned sideways, and motioned for Wilson to come in.
In the living room, the oil lamp is lit.
Under the dim light, Huo Jixing and Wilson sat opposite each other.
A slightly dull atmosphere filled the air between the two of them. Huo Jixing looked at Wilson's gentle face. His bright eyes lost some of their brilliance and could not conceal their fatigue.
It seems that I have been quite busy recently.
And with Wilson's special status as an advisor to the Corps, he seemed to be able to ignore the camp's ban to a certain extent.
So what is the purpose of his coming here, knowledge about runes and magic? Huo Jixing secretly guessed in his heart.
"Don't think too much, I have military orders." Wilson seemed to understand Huo Jixing's inner thoughts and spoke out.
"The camp ban, as long as General Darius is here, no one can violate it."
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows lightly, aware of Wilson's change in tone.
The previous words were okay, but when he talked about General Darius, his tone became high-spirited, and the fatigue in his bright eyes disappeared, filled with enthusiasm and awe.
The charm of Darius?
Huo Jixing suppressed his curiosity and looked at Wilson, waiting for the next words.
"Good news or bad news, which one should I listen to first?"
Wilson noticed the silence in the atmosphere, reached out and knocked on the table, and said jokingly.
"Um" Huo Jixing, who was waiting intently, raised his face, and a touch of surprise appeared. He seemed to have never thought that Wilson, who was gentle and serious in his impression, would have such a nasty hobby.
"Okay, no kidding." After Wilson pondered for a while, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there is no way for you to learn extraordinary fire magic in the camp for the time being."
< br>"Most of the extraordinary people who have free time in the camp now are studying black magic or runes, so."
Huo Jixing nodded lightly to express his understanding, and there was no reply for so long. , he already had some premonitions in his heart.
“Good news?”
"The good news is." Wilson straightened his posture, stared at Huo Jixing in front of him, and spoke.
“I have an old friend from the capital city who came to settle in a village near the Iron Thorn Mountains due to some unexpected reasons. He has extraordinary knowledge about flames.”
“Some time ago , I wrote a letter, and I just got a reply. The letter said that he can help the empire and teach you about transcendence and flames."
"Choose one of the two?" Huo Jixing crossed his arms. , becomes active unconsciously.
"Yes!" Wilson replied solemnly: "You can choose to stay in the camp, but the camp can only temporarily teach you extraordinary knowledge. Your fire ability is powerless."
"What I may learn from my old friend is related to your fire ability."
Huo Jixing lowered his head, a trace of hesitation flashed in his dark pupils, and chose to stay in the camp. He could use Wild Awakening An excuse to perfectly cover up the existence of Nanli Fire.
But recently, he found that the Noxus Empire seemed not to care at all how he obtained his extraordinary abilities.
What the empire needs is how to use extraordinary abilities to serve the empire more efficiently.
"Flame, Nanli Fire, Suzaku" Huo Jixing murmured in his heart, finally raised his head and met Wilson's eyes.
"How far is the distance?"
Hearing this, Wilson laughed, knowing Huo Jixing's choice in his heart.
“Not far away, within the Iron Thorn Mountain Range. With your ability, you can arrive in about two days.”
“This is my letter of recommendation. You can arrive by then. Give it to my old friend." Wilson took out a wax-coated letter and an old map from his arms and placed them in front of Huo Jixing.
“As for the map, the detailed location has been marked on it, don’t get lost.”
Before going out, Wilson thought of something, stopped, looked back, looked at Huo Jixing in the room, and spoke.
“My old friend’s name.”
“Gregory!”
The starlight is lonely, soaking into the dark night clouds, falling into the bedroom like cold drizzle.
In front of the bed, Huo Jixing sat cross-legged and gently wiped the slender knife in his hand. With each wipe, his slightly impetuous heart gradually calmed down.
There is news of extraordinary knowledge that was out of reach until yesterday.
This rekindled hope for him who had already given up. After all, it was related to the existence of the data panel. He wanted to use this to hide it and avoid being remembered. The memory of the previous life was told to Huo Jixing.
There are many gods in the continent of Valoran, as well as many powerful creatures that are comparable to the gods. In the Noxus Empire alone, there is more than one such being.
The sky is getting brighter and dawn is approaching.
Huo Jixing looked at the glow-filled sky in the distance, put away his long knife, and stood up to wash up.
Wow!
The sound of water sounded. Huo Jixing stuffed his face into the basin and let the cold water invade. After a while, he stood up and wiped his face while looking at himself in the glass mirror.
The face is fair and handsome, the eyes are bright, the body is tall and straight, and the muscle lines of the arms and abdomen are obvious.
Paired with his fierce temperament, he looks more and more like a soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles.
"The hair is a bit long!"
Huo Jixing murmured softly as he fiddled with the black hair in front of his forehead, almost covering his eyes, and then fiddled with the scissors to cut off the fine long hair.
"Well, the broken hair looks more pleasing to the eye." He looked at himself in the glass mirror with a satisfied expression.
Have breakfast.
Huo Jixing went to see Eric and DeWitt again and roughly explained the reason for leaving.
Then, with their envious eyes, they left the rest area.
He carefully calculated the time he went out this time. The original rest time for the mission, plus the study time Wilson helped apply for, amounted to exactly twenty days.
With enough time, he can learn the extraordinary knowledge about Valoran.
Walking along the familiar bluestone mountain road, Huo Jixing saw a majestic steel gate standing in the distance, and a crowd of people in front of the gate that looked like a giant red dragon.
Whoo! Whoops!
After exiting the giant steel door, Huo Jixing stood on the snowy hill, with the biting cold wind blowing across his face.
He looked back at the noisy and enthusiastic camp, thinking to himself.
This is the second time he has left the Noxian camp. He hopes that good luck will favor him and that his trip will be safe and smooth.
Stepping on the snowy road, Huo Jixing started this journey to extraordinary knowledge along the Iron Thorn Mountains based on the map presented by Wilson.
Crack! Phew!
On the snow-covered mountain road, a figure covered with snowflakes was walking slowly in the miserable white snow. Every step he took would create a snow pit several feet deep.
This is the second day after Huo Jixing left the camp.
He thought he would see the customs and scenery of Noxus along the way, but what he saw along the way made him disappointed.
Most of them are mountains of ice and snow, and the roads are also rugged.
The most important thing is that after leaving the camp, there were almost no people around.
Spitting out a mouthful of frost, Huo Jixing wiped away the ice stains on his face and looked at the unchanged ice and snow scenery, his helplessness growing stronger.
Continuous snow-capped peaks and vast forests of ice and snow.
It is indeed a magnificent scenery on earth, but what he wants is someone who can ask for directions.
"Alas!" Huo Jixing took out the map from his arms and followed the marked road with his fingers. Comparing it with the route in memory, there should be nothing wrong, right?
Looking at the distant peaks, he shook his head, suppressed his inner emotions, and began to move forward again.
With his skills in surviving in the wild, he doesn't worry about starving to death. There's nothing wrong with sleeping in the wild. What he worries about is wasting time.
If I had known better, I would have told Wilson to send someone familiar with the route to take him there.
Leave the place of right and wrong beneath your feet?
Huo Jixing has long since given up such thoughts.
The conditions provided by the Noxus Empire are so good. They provide identity, rights, food and drink, and people to teach skills and provide opportunities to learn extraordinary knowledge.
So, why leave alone and take a chance on an uncertain future?
The warmth of the midday sun dissipates.
Huo Jixing crossed the steep mountain road in front of him, looked blank, and then hurriedly took out the map and unfolded it.
"Mountains, woods, villages."
Comparing the different elements dotted on the map, Huo Jixing murmured in a low voice, and finally his finger landed on the house representing the village.
"This is it, that's right!"
Putting away the map, Huo Jixing stood on the mountainside, overlooking the snow-covered village not far away. He could see the majesty and wonder of the Iron Thorn Mountains.
Ice, snow, clouds and mist surround the peaks, connecting heaven and earth.
Between the peaks and the snow forest, a village filled with people is outlined in the picture of heaven and earth.
Seeing this beautiful scenery, Huo Jixing opened his mouth. He wanted to recite poems and write lyrics, but he was speechless for a moment.
Finally, with his head lowered and his face red, he hurried down the mountain road.
Please recommend, collect, and read!
