Chapter 32 The Horrifying Talent of Demonic Rumblings
Time goes forward a few minutes.
In the elegant living room, Amorin, who had just finished cleaning the room, sat on an armchair with a bulging belly and a slightly tired look.
As the armchair shook, her upper and lower eyelids began to fight, as if they were about to close together.
Wow! Wow!
In a daze, Amorin heard the crackling sound of flames in the fireplace, and the orange flames danced, burning her face.
She stared at the flickering firelight again, her head lowered, and she gradually fell into a deep sleep.
“Huh?”
In her dream, Amorin seemed to notice something strange in front of her eyes and opened her eyes to look.
I don’t know when, but the fireplace in the living room also entered the dream.
The burning orange-yellow flames danced, seeming to form some kind of shape, outlining a certain outline, but then immediately collapsed and disappeared.
Amorin frowned, the same scene happened again and again.
Same outline, same collapse.
Amorin realized something was wrong, looked at the upper half of the flame, and found two black holes suddenly appeared in the middle of the blazing flames.
The two holes were as dark as the dead night. No matter how hot and intense the surrounding flames were, they remained there.
She moved closer.
No, not a hole, she realized.
This is a pair of eyes!
Then countless chaotic memories poured into her dreamland like a tide, and she remembered.
[Amorin! ]
Amorin, who was in panic, froze completely when she heard her name.
Beside her, the flames in the fireplace jumped upward, but the eyes stared at her motionless.
She looked at him, feeling uncomfortable.
“Is it going to start again?”
Amorin looked at the horrific scenes buried deep in her soul with a frightened look, like a curse, always haunting her.
In the deep darkness, a tall and majestic stone palace slowly appeared.
At the entrance, there was an armored giant fighting. He defeated the desperate mortal warriors with a heavy and brutal war hammer. Beside him were two ferocious monsters - one was a shadow and the other was a flame.
The blazing flame flickered in front of Amorin, and she could not stop it, let alone stop it.
The picture continued to change, and a pale woman appeared, smiling as she looked down at the metal giant lying in pieces at her feet.
The two monsters he had tamed were also defeated and driven back.
A group of robed figures surrounded them, chanting some incantation in a language she didn't understand.
The two monsters were already hysterical, but they watched helplessly as their power was drained away, and finally withered and dissipated, leaving only two droplets, like two drops of rain.
Amorin struggled consciously and wanted to retract her gaze, but the scene in front of her seemed to have invisible magic power, forcing her to look at the angry droplet, which was put into a vial and sealed.
Day after day, year after year.
It is isolated from the world, no one cares about it, and gradually shrinks in loneliness and despair.
Its soul weakens, its light fades, its roar turns to lamentation.
Amorin, who was originally extremely vigilant, suddenly felt compassion. She seemed to want to reach out, touch the anger, and hold it in her arms.
Suddenly!
The shrinking anger suddenly swelled as if it smelled some delicious food.
In the deep and strange darkness, a huge body like a mountain emerged, with countless thick and flaming arms piercing the fireplace and waving to the sky.
It passed Amorin, roared excitedly toward the front, and strode towards the outside of the stone palace.
Clang!
Then Amorin heard the somewhat familiar sound of a blade being unsheathed.
Then there were screams, red-gold fireworks, and a red star hanging in the sky, filling the field of vision.
“Ignorant mortals wait for stars and spirits!”
In an instant.
Amorin saw the blazing anger that should have been raging, as if she had seen something terrible. Like a tide, she fled back to the depths of the palace, hiding and not daring to show herself.
When Amorin regained consciousness.
She found that she had left the nightmare and was lying in Gregory's warm arms.
"Are you okay?" Gregory reached out and caressed his cold face, asking with concern.
"It's okay without me!" Amorin looked pale and shook her head slightly, her tired eyes shining brightly.
She pushed away Gregory's arm and hurriedly looked at the surrounding environment. When she saw the broken fireplace and Huo Jixing standing with a knife, she murmured to herself.
"Star Spirit!"
"What Star Spirit? Have you dreamed of those things again?"
Gregory frowned slightly and looked worriedly Amorine.
He had seen Amorin encounter similar nightmares many times, but he would stop and wake her up every time. It seemed that this time there was something unimaginable happening in the nightmare.
"I said, Huo Jixing's flame power is related to the star spirit!" Amorin said word by word.
Then with the help of Gregory's arm strength, she half stood up and leaned into his arms. She didn't know when her pale face was filled with complex colors.
There was shock, fear, horror, and joy
Then, Amorin looked at Huo Jixing and recounted the encounter in front of Gregory. Nightmare images. But as if she was afraid of something, she hid the scene where the pale woman appeared, and only talked about the liquid droplet's anger being sealed and seducing her.
“Fortunately, Huo Jixing took action at the last critical moment, activating the power of the star spirit, which frightened the guy in the dream, and he probably won’t dare to show up in the near future.”
< br>Facing the complicated looks in Gregory and Amorin's eyes, Huo Jixing looked helpless, and for a moment, he didn't know how to speak.
What a disaster!
He was just helping, but he didn't expect that he would be preyed on by the secret existence and be pulled into sleep.
In the end, the guy ran away, leaving himself alone.
The key is that there are other people in the dream!
“I, the star spirit?” Huo Jixing asked in confusion,
Then he immediately realized that the seven Suzaku stars, don’t they correspond to the stars in the sky?
Then everything will fall into place.
Because of Jingsu, Amorin misunderstood that her power was related to the stars, but he had no way to explain it.
After all, the fire of Nanli does originate from the seven stars of Suzaku!
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Huo Jixing can feel the emotional changes of the Gregory couple. Who would have thought that an accident would involve the stars?
And he also participated in it, allowing Amorin to get a glimpse of the Jingsu Star!
But soon, Gregory regained his composure.
Sometimes, when talent reaches a certain level of terror, it brings not fear but awe.
He first helped Amorin back to the bedroom and lay down to rest.
Then he took the tea from the restaurant, calmed down his emotions, and went to Huo Jixing's room.
“It’s unimaginable that your fire power is actually related to the stars!” Gregory poured tea and sat across from Huo Jixing, his expression full of envy and respect.
Star spirit, a legendary existence.
It is a powerful creature that can rival the gods and has left many anecdotes and legends in Valoran.
Compared to the Star Spirits, his school is nothing more than a grain of rice.
And now, a transcendent person with the power of the stars truly appeared in front of him.
"God bless the empire. In this difficult moment, a person with such talent as you belongs to the empire."
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, hearing the meaning of Grigri's words, and asked aloud.
"Is the situation facing the empire now very bad?"
"Not only is it not bad, it is already falling into a state of catastrophe." Gregory drank the tea in the cup and spoke sadly.
Who would have thought that the once-famous Noxus Empire would now be struggling and scarred by battles?
“On the Eastern Front, the failure of the Ionian War caused the empire to lose a lot of elite forces. It has begun to switch from offense to defense, and is even preparing to evacuate the Ionian Islands.”
"The deterioration of the Demacia battlefield on the Western Front has dragged many battle groups there, unable to leave."
"A single move affects the whole body, and without the deterrence of the empire's power, the Shurima continent's The situation is uncertain, undercurrents are surging, and rebel forces have appeared in many ports."
"Now, only the northern front has not yet truly decided the winner."
"The empire has fallen into the present. The situation is not just an external war!" Gregory's eyes flickered: "There are also many shadows within the empire, independence and division, and many forces frequently take the stage."
Huo Jixing listened carefully to Gregory's words. .
This was an area he had never touched before, and it had already involved a confrontation with the upper echelons of the empire.
If his talent hadn't emerged, perhaps Gregory wouldn't have mentioned it.
The most important thing is that he also heard a piece of news that he was extremely concerned about.
The Ionian War failed!
Having memories of his past life, he is extremely aware of the importance of the Ionian War to the Noxus Empire.
Its failure would bring unimaginable changes to the empire.
"So, the situation in the Noxus Empire has become difficult to recover now. All we have to do is wait for Swain."
Huo Jixing's thoughts were active and he compared it with some information in his memory from his previous life. , quite a strange feeling of being involved in history.
As for what Gregory said later, he understood very well the bitter psychology of a person who has difficulty realizing his ambitions.
“Although the empire is in trouble, we still have not given up and silently made our efforts for the empire.”
Gregory pointed to the villagers who were slowly approaching outside the window, facing the wind and snow.
They were hired by Gregory to take advantage of the wind and snow to deal with the battle-damaged living room on the first floor.
Huo Jixing looked calm and acknowledged Gregory's extraordinary ability in his heart.
Compared with the Noxus Empire in my memory, which was full of desires and lacked resources, the villagers in the village in front of me had enough clothes to cover their bodies and their living place was considered stable.
Although the food is somewhat insufficient, at least they will not starve to death, and the overall living standard is significantly higher than other villages in the empire.
"All for Noxus!" Huo Jixing said.
Gregory looked at the very young Huo Jixing with strange eyes, and said with a chuckle: "For Noxus?"
"You should say, for Darkwill! "
Note: During Darkwill's time, the military salute slogan of Noxian soldiers was "For Darkwill", while the slogan during Swain's leadership was "For Noxus".

The data is a bit miserable. There are no recommendations for the second round, so I can only work hard to update!
