Chapter 95 Cui Fali Training Ground
The winter night was a bit quiet.
The stars in the dim sky are like blinking eyes, with a cold light, observing the suffering of hunger and cold in the world.
Huo Jixing stood on the windowsill, looking at the capital of Noxus in the distance.
Within the dark gray high wall, the brightly lit immortal fortress is like a crown jewel, dazzling and dazzling.
Compared with the high-rise buildings in previous lives, it is no less generous.
But outside the high wall, the stretching slums look like black ribbons, wrapped around bright pearls, becoming embellishments.
Hazy, under the starry sky, he seemed to see Eric, Moore, Sheruba and others.
They were looking at me from a distance, waving their arms and smiling.
“Noxus!”
Huo Jixing thought of what he saw when he entered the slums during the day.
Dirty ground full of sewage, collapsed and dilapidated houses, almost skeleton-like children and old people, and greedy and exploitative gangs.
Perhaps it is the memory of the previous life, perhaps it is the influence of life in the Noxus camp on the border of Northland, or perhaps it is the impression brought by Eric and others.
In short, he is full of expectations for the Noxus Empire.
But what happened in the slums completely shattered the beautiful filter he had for the Noxus Empire deep in his heart.
What is now presented is the extremely real Noxus!
He couldn’t see the prosperous environment, the dazzling streets, or the people living happily!
“Immortal Fortress, citizen!”
Huo Jixing thought of DeWitt’s vow to leave the slums with his family and enter the Immortal Fortress, and he vaguely understood.
As the [Trefari Proclamation] said, the roots of the Noxian Empire are completely rotten.
At the same time, it also allowed him to see the darkness of the Noxus Empire!
He believes that the social atmosphere in Noxus is inclusive, and that all the talents and talents of every citizen will be respected and given the opportunity to be cultivated.
"What about ordinary people? Poor people, slaves?"
Huo Jixing suppressed his restless emotions.
He never felt that his moral level was higher than that of the general public.
Even though he came to the continent of Valoran, was baptized by war, and possessed extraordinary power, he did not do evil or kill wantonly.
However, now, the real scenes seen in the slums and the pension incident of Moore's widow have completely shattered his concept of past life.
Compared to the Gray Wolf Gang and some people in the Immortal Fortress.
He can definitely be regarded as a moral role model!
"Awe, you should be in awe of power!" Huo Jixing looked at the shining Noxian capital surrounded by lights and whispered softly.
Time passes.
The atmosphere in the hill camp began to become more and more noisy as the martial law was lifted.
Many Noxian soldiers come in and out of the camp every day, bringing wonderful things to see in the capital, as well as the magnificent scene of the Immortal Fortress.
Huo Jixing waited in the camp for two days, but Wilson seemed a little busy and never returned to the camp, and no news came.
Fortunately, Korda woke up successfully, and the injuries on his arms and head were adjusted and gradually healed.
Moore's widow also adapted to the new environment with DeWitt's help.
As for their occasional inquiries about Moore, DeWitt covered it up very well - he stayed at the border of the North and would come back when his service was over.
This is an excuse with an expiration date.
I hope I can hide it as much as possible until everything is dealt with.
But while waiting.
Huo Jixing will also continue to practice his skills instead of focusing all his attention on the pension issue.
The southeast corner of the camp, Cuifali Training Ground.
Huo Jixing looked at the dark gray stern building in front of him, with the red double-edged ax empire flag fluttering in the cold wind.
The thick wall outside is about three feet high, and the eaves and walls are densely covered with stacks. You can see many Noxian soldiers wearing armor patrolling.
Huo Jixing took the sword boy Heini up the stairs and entered the center of the training ground. The internal architectural structure is similar to that of the ancient Roman Colosseum, with a circular depression in the middle that divides different training venues and fighting areas.
The surrounding walls are covered with seats, like terraces, arranged in an orderly manner from top to bottom.
As soon as he walked in, Huo Jixing saw many children in the training ground. They were holding wooden weapons and competing with each other.
Seemingly seeing Huo Jixing’s doubts, sword boy Heini spoke.
“From my generation onwards, any child who belongs to the Noxian forces will be a member of the Noxian Empire.”
"They have been trained since childhood, with perseverance, discipline, and determination!"
"If they perform very well in training, they will be recruited by the Noxian Chapter and become a Noxian soldier."< br>
Sword boy Heini looked at the children who were training, as if he saw himself in the past.
"There is a proverb in my hometown."
He was raised by herdsmen. He took care of the herds and beasts of burden every day, raising them until they were fat and strong. Harvest time.
During that time, he learned to butcher cleanly and neatly, and also learned how to never leave the body with a knife.
The training as a child will benefit him a lot in the future, and therefore Noxus will recruit sword boys to serve the country.
“Kill your enemies into your own family members!”
Hearing this, Huo Jixing looked stunned.
Then he thought that the Noxus Empire was established by its own force, and he suddenly became enlightened.
Enemies of the Noxian Empire never hate Noxus.
Because it only takes one ritual to turn the Empire's enemies into new territories.
Yesterday's enemies will become Noxian soldiers today with honor and mission, standing on the front line of the Noxian Empire.
"Captain Ten, here we are!" Sword Boy Heini pointed to the dark gray room in front of him.
This is a training ground specifically for officers. The ground is paved with blue-gray boulders, and the surrounding walls are covered with weapons of different styles.
"Do you need someone to train with you?" Heini, the sword boy, asked.
When Huo Jixing came over, he saw that in the training ground outside, there were many people training in pairs, and there were spectators sitting next to them.
"No need!"
He waved his hand gently and took out the long knife that Heini had carefully polished and oiled. The biting cold light shone in his field of vision.
Pfft! Poof! Poof!
Suddenly, the empty room was filled with sounds that cut through the air.
Wishes of cold sword light, like stars, flickered in the air, leaving behind afterimages.
Huo Jixing just waved the long knife, venting the restless emotions deep in his heart.
The joy brought by Freljord's victory in the second war, as well as the positive feedback of his own extraordinary power, disappeared in yesterday's encounter.
He even doubted himself.
He and his scout warriors risked their lives in Freljord. What was the purpose of everything they did?
For Noxus?
Or for those in the dark?
Clang!
The slender long knife cut through the air, and with the blessing of Pei Ran's power, it cut out a white knife light and hit the sharp blade on the wall, making a crisp sound.
"Damn it!"
Huo Jixing looked at the marks on the wall with his eyes downcast.
