Chapter 211 The undercurrent under the capital
At dawn, the capital of Demacia gradually woke up.
In the underground cave room, a dense breath of life seemed to be rippling in the air.
Huo Jixing slowly opened his eyes, a green light reflected in his pupils.
He could clearly feel the energy of Donghua Yimu in his body. After a night of meditation, it became more pure and solid.
Huo Jixing lowered his head and stretched out his hands as if making fists.
It seems like it can easily crush the air and penetrate space.
"Huh, the feeling of power!"
Huo Jixing breathed out lightly. This time of deep meditation allowed him to understand more deeply the mystery and power of Donghua Yimu's Qi.
At the same time, he also has a more thorough understanding of the boundaries of legend.
If it was a guess before, it is now certain that after the four basic attribute points reach 20 points, you can enter the legendary realm.
This made him more determined about the future, full of expectations and longing.
Huo Jixing stood up, went to the sound transmission tube in the room, and called Aset over.
After listening to Sona's concert last night, he casually asked Francis for news about the war at the Gate of Sorrow.
After waiting for a while, there was a crisp knock on the door.
Huo Jixing opened the door and saw Asset holding breakfast. There was a sealed letter on the plate.
"Good morning, Lord Huo Jixing." Asset bowed and saluted.
"Good morning."
Huo Jixing said with a smile, turned his body sideways, and let Asset enter the room.
Just entered the room.
Asette's pupils tightened, and he immediately felt that something was wrong with the surrounding environment.
The air seems to be filled with the fresh smell of grass and trees, and a faint hint of green remains can be seen.
He only stayed for a while, and felt instantly refreshed and tired.
“This is the intelligence information compiled by Lord Francis.”
“About the War at the Gate of Sorrow.”
Assett put down the plate in his hand, took out the letter, put it aside alone, and then left the room.
Huo Jixing opened the letter while eating breakfast.
War at Mourngate.
It is a war between the Noxus Empire and the Kingdom of Demacia under the border.
Under the strategic deployment of the Trefari Council, the Noxus Empire fully withdraws its border war forces.
But the Kingdom of Demacia wanted to change its defense and take this opportunity to counterattack the Noxus Empire.
A battle broke out directly between the two sides in the border city of Gate of Sorrow.
The Western War Group of the Noxus Empire mobilized many war groups to devote themselves to this war.
The Kingdom of Demacia, on the other hand, is led by the Demacian Prince Jarvan IV, who leads the Border Legion with the intention of breaking through the defensive position of the Western Battle Group.
The end result was that Prince Jiawen was deeply surrounded.
As for the Gate of Sorrow, they had to seek help from Xiongdu.
Jarvan III loved his son so much that he prepared to send the Dauntless Vanguard Legion to the Gate of Mourn.
But just as Tiana Crownguard has just been promoted to Grand Marshal, the Dauntless Vanguard Legion has not yet decided on a new sword captain.
Jiawen III thought over and over again and decided to let his close friend——
Lord Barrett of the Bouvier family.
Lead the Dauntless Vanguard Legion to the Gate of Mourn to rescue Prince Jarvan.
It’s just that the Kingdom of Demacia underestimated the determination of the Noxus Empire’s Western Battle Group.
Although the Trifari Council decided to shrink its strength, the Western Battle Group could not disobey the order.
But the Western War Group of the Noxus Empire finally decided to defeat the border forces of the Kingdom of Demacia in one battle to prevent the subsequent situation from eroding.
With the combined efforts of the Noxian Empire’s Western War Group.
Barrett was killed directly in action, and the Dauntless Vanguard Army suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, Prince Jarvan broke through the encirclement and returned to the capital of Demacia safely.
“Tsk, that’s interesting.”
Huo Jixing swallowed the food in his mouth, his eyes twinkling.
During the War at the Mourngate, Barret of the Bouvier family was killed, and Prince Jarvan of the Lightshield family was deeply surrounded.
At the end of the intelligence, Francis highlighted.
The Bouvier family and the Crownguard family are the most important supporters of the Light Shield family.
To be honest, Huo Jixing has seen the strength of the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion.
It is much stronger than Cui Fali's army.
Under the protection of such a powerful force, it is somewhat unbelievable that his regiment commander Barrett was killed directly on the front line.
"And Sona, I didn't expect that she would become the heir of the Bouvier family."
After Barrett was killed in battle, Kashina, the first heir of the Bouvier family, gave up inheriting the Bouvier family for unknown reasons. family.
As an adopted daughter, Sona became the heir with the support of Barrett's wife Lestara.
"The situation in the capital of Demacia has completely turned into a quagmire after the assassination of Jarvan III."
Huo Jixing tapped his finger on the table and looked away from the letter.
Many forces secretly stirred up the tide in the capital, intending to break the balance of the Kingdom of Demacia.
“And Catalina.”
He thought of Catalina who was seriously injured, and felt a little confused in his heart.
What kind of injury would cause a hero to be trapped in treatment for a long time and unable to leave Xiongdu.
Because it has been several months since Jarvan III was assassinated.
"No rush, no rush."
Huo Jixing whispered softly, looking to his right side, and the red-gold light rose in his eyes.
The clouds representing Catalina are not gray, indicating that there is no threat to life.
Then he continued to enter a state of cultivation.
Time gradually passed, five days later.
Huo Jixing sat in the room, with red-gold and turquoise light flowing around him.
On the ground under the bed, the snow-white Poro sat upright in a classy manner, with a little light falling down and blending into the plush body.
"Zhizhi! Zhizhi!"
Snow-white Poro suddenly opened his eyes and shouted urgently at Huo Jixing.
“Huh?”
Huo Jixing seemed to be aware of it. He opened his eyes slightly and stretched his spirit. He noticed that the atmosphere in the cave was a bit solemn and there was a loud noise.
“Something happened?”
Huo Jixing picked up the snow-white poro, stuffed it into his arms, and walked out the door.
In the center of the cave, under the bright yellow candlelight.
Francis looked at the ground with a gloomy expression, surrounded by the personnel of the Reiser Guard Secret Office.
There is also a specialized medical doctor who is half-kneeling on the ground, rescuing a person covered in blood, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
“Asset?”
Huo Jixing walked over and recognized the dying man lying on the ground.
I haven’t seen him for a few days, but he ended up in such a miserable state.
The inner armor was damaged, and there was a hole about five feet wide in the chest, with almost visible organs.
In addition, there were many scars on the arms and legs, and the body was stained red with blood.
"Lord Huo Jixing."
Francis spoke respectfully, his deep old face full of anger.
"What's going on?" Huo Jixing asked.
"Asset fetched medicine for Catalina, but on his way back, he was attacked by a mysterious man." Francis replied.
"Fortunately, there were some of our people around who were on alert, and took advantage of the fact that the other party was not familiar with the surroundings, and rescued Aset back."
Huo Jixing had something on his mind, a traitor? Or is there a problem with the drug channel?
Francis seemed to see what Huo Jixing was thinking and said coldly.
“There is a problem with the drug channels.”
“Someone in the capital is eyeing the injured Lady Katrina.”
Huo Jixing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and after looking at each other with Francis, his eyes became solemn. Someone is secretly investigating the assassination of Jarvan III.
And he is not an official member of the Kingdom of Demacia.
"I'm sorry, Sir Francis."
The medical doctor who was half-kneeling on the ground stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shook his head slightly with a pale expression.
Suddenly, the noise disappeared, and a dull atmosphere filled the cave.
Everyone looked at Asset on the ground with sad eyes.
"Uh, let me do it."
Huo Jixing looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Asset's body.
Although he was almost out of breath, the dark gray clouds in his eyes meant that there was still a chance of rescue.
"Lord Huo Jixing?"
Francis suddenly turned his head and looked at Huo Jixing, his eyes a little surprised.
According to intelligence information, Huo Jixing is good at the power of fire and does not have any rune magic power for healing.
Huo Jixing pushed Francis away, walked to Assette, and squatted down.
“Tsk, how miserable!”
Aset's situation reminded him of his earlier miserable situation in the Freljord.
Without any hesitation, Huo Jixing put his hand on Aset's chest, a green light glowed, and the energy of Donghua Yimu flowed along the scar.
“This”
Francis’s pupils were constricted and his expression was horrified.
Not only him, but also the surrounding healers and the staff of the Lesser Guard Secretariat all had the same expression.
within their field of vision.
The horrific scars all over Aset's body healed quickly after being baptized by the green light.
Especially the location of the chest where the organs are almost visible.
Visible to the naked eye, pale flesh and blood is regenerated, and red blood flows, awakening dormant organs.
Huo Jixing observed Asset's situation carefully and nodded gently: "It's not bad."
After lighting up the Kangsu Star and the Disu Star, you will gain the innate ability to control the wind and rain.
The combination of hundreds of herbs and the essence of mountain forest vegetation is enough to heal Aset's injuries.
"Cough! Cough!"
A slight cough sounded.
Asset slowly opened his eyes, and a touch of blood appeared on his pale face.
He looked around and saw Huo Jixing squatting down, as well as Francis and many friends surrounding him.
I was a little surprised at first, and then I reacted.
"The drug dealer we cooperate with has a problem. When we come back."
Asset's tone was urgent, but he stopped mid-sentence.
Immediately looked at his body, and looked confused when he saw the blood-stained clothes and inner armor.
After a cup of tea.
After Francis solved the puzzle, Assett walked up to Huo Jixing and saluted solemnly without any time to deal with it.
"Thank you, Mr. Huo Jixing."
"You're welcome." Huo Jixing waved his hand, completely indifferent.
"Please take care of me during this time."
"It's different. It's my job to take care of you." Asset's face turned red, he opened his mouth and explained.
“Go and clean it up.”
Huo Jixing patted Asset’s shoulder lightly and walked towards Francis’ room.
Just now, Francis drove everyone away and came over specifically to say that he had something to ask for.
Pushing the door open, Huo Jixing saw Francis pacing in the room.
"Lord Huo Jixing."
Seeing Huo Jixing's arrival, Francis bowed and saluted with a full gesture.
"Is there something important?"
When Huo Jixing was curing Aset before, he saw this guy looking at him very hotly.
He knew that his exposed abilities were indeed shocking to the world.
But now, he is no longer the same person who just came to Valoran.
His identity and strength are enough for him to ignore most people.
“It’s about Lady Catalina.” Francis spoke directly without any delay.
"You have also heard that our drug channels have been completely exposed and cannot be used."
"But Lady Katrina's injury has not healed yet, so."
"You want me to treat Catalina." Huo Jixing nodded slightly to express his understanding. After pondering for a while, he spoke.
"I have no problem, what does Catalina say?"
"I just contacted her, and Ms. Catalina said it is okay." Francis replied.
"Okay, now?" Huo Jixing asked.
Now that he has shown his terrifying healing ability, he has already considered Catalina's injury.
Huo Jixing was also a little curious as to what kind of injury caused the delay for such a long time.
Arrive outside Katarina's room again.
Francis pushed the door open and walked in, followed closely by Huo Jixing.
The familiar smell of blood, and the unpleasant smell of herbs.
But this time, Huo Jixing found that the smell of herbs in the room was stronger, as if it had been used multiple times.
"Can't you suppress the injury?"
Thanks to the Kangsu Star, he is very sensitive to the breath of hundreds of medicines.
After Francis led Huo Jixing in, he saluted Catalina on the bed and turned to leave.
Huo Jixing and Catalina were left alone.
The bright yellow light swayed, and Huo Jixing looked intently at Catalina, who was sitting on the bed.
Compared to before, Catalina looked paler, almost bloodless.
Even her breath was much weaker.
“What are you looking at?”
When Catalina saw Huo Jixing staring at her, her black eyes narrowed, and a fierce look gradually appeared.
“The injury is much worse.”
Huo Jixing didn't care about Catalina's attitude and walked forward.
From previous contact with Catalina, I understood her cold personality.
“Can you see where the injury is?”
Huo Jixing just finished speaking.
Suddenly.
An atmosphere of silence gradually emerged between the two, as Catalina and Huo Jixing just looked at each other.
Until Catalina frowned, a look of pain appeared in her pupils, and her body tilted unnaturally.
“Huh?”
Katrina turned around and saw a strange arm on her shoulder.
She almost subconsciously pulled out the dagger from her waist.
"Can you see where the injury is?" Huo Jixing continued to ask repeatedly.
Katrina met Huo Jixing's calm eyes. After hesitating for a while, she pointed to the bottom of her collarbone.
Then she took off her silver shoulder pads with a little delay and took off the black clothes on her shoulders.
Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and his pupils trembled slightly.
It’s not because of the delicate collarbone that appears in front of you, nor is it the touch of white that comes into view.
Instead, it was a hideous scar near the snow-white chest.
"Devil power?"
