Chapter 229: The Empire’s Secret Statik Electric Blade
On the second day, dawn broke through the sky.
The night still lingers in the clouds, and the crimson light shines on every building in the Noxian capital.
Huo Jixing opened and closed his eyes, and a red-gold light flashed, disappearing into the dark pupils.
Phew!
Between the breaths, a breath of green air seemed like an arrow piercing the air, lingering for a long time.
Then Huo Jixing got up and left the room and came to the restaurant.
A hearty breakfast is ready and the aroma is lingering.
Huo Jixing ate directly. After eating, he was about to leave the restaurant.
"Sir, wait."
Heini quickly put down the groceries in his hands, walked over quickly, and carefully helped Huo Jixing dress.
His movements were skillful and gentle, as if he was very afraid of wrinkling Huo Jixing's clothes.
Although Heini knew in his heart that Huo Jixing had already met Lord Swain, he still made every detail perfect.
This is respect for Huo Jixing, and also pride and importance in meeting Lord Swain this time.
Huo Jixing looked down at Heini's movements and nodded secretly in his heart.
He admired Heini's carefulness and loyalty and saw the change in Heini's mental outlook.
This is not unique to Heini.
Since Huojixing returned to the Noxus Empire, what he saw and heard along the way made him see a different face of the Noxians than before.
They are more united and braver, working together for the prosperity and strength of the Noxus Empire.
Huo Jixing secretly thought that Swain and Darius were gradually changing the Noxus Empire.
The Noxus Empire, which was once a self-reliant, bloody and barbaric empire, is still in a completely different state.
The center of the Immortal Fortress.
A long group of metal palaces.
Huo Jixing walked along the stone steps and walked up the triumphal steps.
On both sides are the soldiers of the Trifali Legion guarding the palace. There will be soldiers standing on every twelve steps on the steps.
Huo Jixing looked at the red imperial flag fluttering in the sky, at the soldiers of the Trifali Legion who were wearing armor and holding sharp swords and standing upright, and he faintly smelled something unusual.
After a while.
Huo Jixing climbed to the top of the triumphal staircase and saw the familiar metal palace, dark and menacing.
Just when he wanted to enter the palace.
The Leiser garrison soldiers who had been waiting for a long time came over, bowed and saluted: "Lord Huo Jixing, please follow me this way."
He pointed to the side hall of the palace and walked slowly over.
Huo Jixing raised his brows lightly and looked at the metal palace. He saw the group of eating crows wandering on the top and felt thoughtful.
After entering the side hall.
There was no one in the wide hall for the time being, only the soldiers of the Reiser Guard Corps beside him were waiting for orders.
"Did something happen?" Huo Jixing found a seat to sit down and asked casually.
Hearing this, the young Leiser Guards Corps soldier looked slightly hesitant. Thinking of Huo Jixing's identity, he spoke softly.
“The regional governor of Fort Diver sent his son to meet with the Trifali Council.”
“The Lord Commander and others are dealing with it in the main hall.”
Huo Jixing’s eyes Narrowing his eyes, information about Fort Diver came to his mind quickly.
Drueburg, Northland Fortress.
It is the northern gate of the Noxian Empire.
The war he experienced before on the northern border.
The first is to resist the invasion of the Winter's Claw tribe, and the second is to protect the safety of Dredge Keep and the Ironthorn Mountains.
Because the Dredge Fort and the Ironthorn Mountains have very important iron ore resources, all the best plate armor of the Noxus Empire comes from the underground of the Ironthorn Mountains.
Wait
Huo Jixing had a flash of inspiration, as if he was recalling something, and asked in a solemn voice: "Is it the Varrokan family?"
"Yes!"
The young Leiser Guards Corps The soldier looked at Huo Jixing in surprise and nodded slightly.
“The spies from the Leiser Guard Secretariat and the Assassin’s Guild received news that Fort Diver intends to break away from the empire and become independent.”
“Independence?” Huo Jixing almost laughed out loud. .
It's just a northern fortress.
Even if their gold supports the empire's conquests, the steel they produce protects and arms the empire's wars.
But the Varrokan family really thinks that with their power, they can protect the resources of the Iron Thorn Mountains?
Their current power and status is based on the strength of the Noxus Empire.
"According to the ancient covenant, the ancestors of the Varrokan family gave up their sovereignty and surrendered to the throne of the Noxus Empire." The young Raisei Guards Corps soldier said angrily.
"But now, the last person who sat on the throne to whom they swore an oath of alliance has died."
"So they believe that the alliance is void."
"Durverburg and Vaal The Rokan family has no obligation to continue paying any taxes, and the Iron Thorn Mountains will no longer belong to the Noxus Empire."
"No!"
Huo Jixing shook his head slightly. Extremely certain.
"They will continue to abide by the covenant."
"Believe in the Trifali Council, believe in Lord Swain, and believe in General Darius."
Huo Jixing recalled it, in the memory of his previous life , Fort Diver did have repeated behaviors.
The result was a failure, the governor of the Diverburg region was replaced, and the Varrocan family also experienced a purge.
The waiting time is very long.
Huo Jixing chatted with the soldiers of Leiser Guard Corps.
It has to be said that each one of them has a unique talent to be able to join the Leiser Guard Corps.
The soldiers of the Reiser Guards in front of me are very familiar with many news in the Noxus Empire and they spoke clearly.
Da da! Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
Three steps of varying severity sounded.
Huo Jixing heard the news and went over, and saw Swain and Darius in the corridor connecting the side hall to the main hall.
Swain walked in the front, leaning on a black cane. Darius was half a step behind, and the two talked softly.
As if aware of Huo Jixing's gaze, Swain looked over, a fine red glow appeared in his dark eyes, and a look of surprise showed in the corners of his eyes.
Seeing Swain stop walking, Darius followed his gaze and looked over. The anger on his hard face disappeared, and a smile hung on his face.
“I’ve met General Darius, I’ve met Lord Swain.”
Huo Jixing immediately stood up and gave the two a standard Noxian military salute.
The young Leiser Guards Corps soldiers also saluted, and then slowly left the side hall, leaving the three of them behind.
Swain took the main seat, and Darius sat on the right, leaning lazily on the back of the chair.
"It seems that you have gained a lot from your trip this time."
Swain looked at Huo Jixing, his thick gray hair spread over his shoulders, and his dark eyes lit up. .
"It's not bad." Huo Jixing laughed.
He looked into Swain's eyes, and he could now face the terrifying pressure that once brought him calmly.
At the same time, under his spiritual perception, he was vaguely aware of the terrifying power hidden in Swain's body.
"The power of demons!"
Huo Jixing thought to himself, seeing familiar energy fluctuations, similar powers to the eternal nightmare Nocturne and the demon clown Shaco.
Then he began to talk about the secret mission he carried out this time, as well as the deeds experienced by the Kingdom of Demacia.
Although the report had already been reported by Reiser Guard Secretariat, Swain and Darius still listened very well.
Huo Jixing also mentioned Dawn, Francis and others in his words, expressing recognition of their abilities.
“Fallen Angel Morgana!”
Swain heard Huo Jixing mention the dark flame power he encountered in Dawn Castle, and his speculation about the person who did it, Youjing His eyes rippled.
"Sure enough, they inherited the power of the stars just like the ancient myths and rumors."
The Noxus Empire has long launched an investigation into the many secrets of the Kingdom of Demacia.
Includes the Winged Protector and the Winged Sisters Ode.
Demacians only remember the glory and truth inherited by one of the sisters, but the Noxus Empire knows of another great being who inherited the power of the Dark Flame.
But now, Noxus also has a transcendent with protoss power.
Swain looked at Huo Jixing, his dark eyes flickering, and finally couldn't help but speak.
“Have you set foot in the legend?”
Darius was a bit belated. Hearing Swain’s question, he quickly straightened his body and stared at Huo Jixing. There was a look of horror in his eyes.
Huo Jixing nodded gently under the gazes of the two people.
“I was lucky enough to step into the legend.”
boom!
Huo Jixing's words were like thunder in a silent place, causing Darius to stand up and Swain to hold the black cane tightly.
A moment later. Darius laughed loudly, with a hearty and excited smile on his rough face.
The existence of legendary transcendent beings is of unimaginable benefit to the Noxus Empire.
This is especially true for a legendary transcendent lurking in the dark.
He could already imagine the miserable scene of the enemy.
Although Swain appeared calm, the red palms hidden under his clothes glowed with a bright red light.
He had some guesses about Huo Jixing's strength through Catalina's description, and he also tested it just now.
But it is still a bit unbelievable to be really confirmed to be a legendary transcendent.
Is this the terrifying growth potential of protoss-type talents?
He stared at Huo Jixing, a hint of envy rising deep in his heart for no reason.
Immediately afterwards, Swain seemed to have thought of something, stood up and walked to Huo Jixing, his dark eyes glowing red.
“I heard Katarina say that your previous weapon was broken?”
“Yes.”
Huo Jixing nodded, there was nothing to hide.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he looked at Swain with an inexplicable sense of expectation in his heart.
"The empire happens to have a secret treasure that you might like."
Swain motioned to Huo Jixing to wait for a while and walked out of the side hall on his own.
“You’re good, boy!”
Darius came over and patted Huo Jixing's shoulder heavily, with emotion in his pupils.
Who could have imagined that an ordinary border soldier would become a legendary transcendent in a short period of time.
He also recalled the aristocratic disputes caused by Huo Jixing's angry behavior, which led the Trifali Council to reform the imperial system in advance.
Since then, he realized that Huo Jixing would become outstanding and outstanding in time.
But I really didn’t expect that such a scene would come so soon.
Darius smacked his lips and couldn't help but think of his adviser Wilson.
It is said that Counselor Trifali can select a sheep from a pack of wolves.
But what Wilson picked out was not a sheep.
But a giant dragon!
"If Kled hears that you have set foot in the Legendary Realm, he might come back from the South and challenge you." Darius said.
Kled is the embodiment of the will of Noxus, adhering to a fearless and violent fighting style, and he likes to challenge all around.
"Then I will not show mercy to General Klie." Huo Jixing said pretending to be relaxed.
Compared to most Noxian generals who pay attention to etiquette and rules.
Darius and Kled don't care about these false things, and have a very close relationship with the soldiers under their command.
As a result, the two men gained a reputation in the Noxian Chapter that is difficult for ordinary people to match.
"Haha, I'm looking forward to you beating up Kled and the cowardly lizard." Darius laughed.
"Oh, by the way, you just came back and there is a matter. Are you interested in dealing with it?"
Darius took out a roll of ancient parchment from his arms and wrote on it Written in intricate, angular Ernoxian script.
In the place where the signature is signed, there are printed the seal of Fort Diver and the blood-red coat of arms of Noxus.
"What happened at Fort Diver?" Huo Jixing took the parchment and browsed the contents.
"With the power of the empire, it should be easy to solve, right?"
Darius shrugged his shoulders, a cold murderous intent appearing in his wild eyes.
"They need a profound lesson so that they can suppress the situation within the empire that has finally calmed down."
Huo Jixing originally wanted to agree, but he really had nothing to do during this time. matter.
“No, I have already arranged this matter.”
Swain came back holding a sealed stone box and walked over.
The surface of the stone box is engraved with golden runes, intertwined with each other, all over the body, shining with dim brilliance.
Huo Jixing turned his head and looked over, and instantly sensed an obscure rune magic power from the golden runes, which seemed to be suppressing the things in the stone box.
“Moving the tithe of Fort Diver is far from something that can be decided by the two young descendants of the Varrokan family.”
Swain’s tone was very calm. : "This is the conspiracy of Black Rose."
He stared at Huo Jixing in front of him and spoke in a deep voice.
“The thorns of the black rose have long been embedded in various parts of the empire’s body. If you want to pull them out, you have to endure the severe pain and cut off the completely rotten flesh and blood.”
“Trifari Council More Noxians need to stand up and fight against the Black Rose."
Swain paused for a moment before continuing.
"I will handle the Varrokan family. You can take a good rest recently and adapt to the power of legend."
After he obtained the power of the devil, it took him a long time to adapt before he launched a coup to overthrow the rule of Brown Darkwill.
Huo Jixing stood upright and saluted respectfully.
“This is the reward given to you by the empire.” Swain walked up to Huo Jixing and stretched out his hand to hand out the stone box in his hand.
“Open it and take a look.”
Huo Jixing took the stone box and could clearly feel the obscure energy of the golden runes.
As he turned it on, bursts of machine sounds sounded, and the air was filled with a cold breath.
Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and saw a slender and sharp blue blade placed on black silk inside the stone box.
The blade is about three feet and three inches.
The sharp blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, and a biting chill comes over it, soaking into the soul.
Faintly, he saw lightning wrapped around the blade and the sound of thunder.
"This blade."
Huo Jixing's eyes flashed and he reached out to hold the handle of the knife.
At the moment of contact, a strong electric shock hit him, as if countless electric currents were passing through his body.
The majestic energy possessed by the electric current made him slightly surprised.
Immediately he realized that this might be a test of the blade for the holder.
Only those who pass the test can truly master its power.
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows, held the handle of the knife tightly, and let the electric current flow through his body, stimulating it.
His heartbeat gradually synchronized with the rhythm of electricity, and the power of lightning surged through his body.
Huo Jixing stretched his spirit, carefully felt his own changes, and felt the huge potential contained in this azure blade.
But after a moment, the raging current completely quieted down.
The blazing Nanli Fire and the green Donghua Yimu Qi quietly appeared in his body, suppressing the random current.
"Statik Electric Blade!"
Huo Jixing recognized the name of this blade, and flicked the cicada-like blade with his fingers, lightning surged and pierced the air.
Then he gently waved the Statik electric blade, and the lightning as thin as a hair, like a lightning elf, danced in the side hall.
Crackling!
The lightning disappeared and the air returned to calm.
Huo Jixing put away the Statik electric blade and looked very satisfied.
"Thank you, Lord Swain!"
The Statik Electric Blade is definitely a legendary rune weapon comparable to the Black Cleaver.
And it also has lightning power, which is a perfect fit for his requirements.
Soaring in the clouds and riding on the mist, calling for wind and rain.
Now there is the blessing of lightning power.
The corners of Huo Jixing's mouth raised, and a smile spread across his face.
In front of the palace.
Swain looked at Huo Jixing’s departing back, a look of expectation appearing in his dark eyes.
One of the two sharp blades he chose has grown into a legend.
“Perhaps we should develop more Trifari advisors and distribute them to battle groups in various regions of the empire.”
Swain withdrew his gaze, turned around, and looked at Darius in front of him. .
“Do you think there can be another protoss genius like Huo Jixing in the empire?” Darius spoke directly, breaking Swain’s expectations.
Although he had thought about it just now, thinking about Huo Jixing's terrifying growth potential, he felt that there would be no second person in the empire.
"What to do with the two little guys from the Varrocan family?" Darius asked aloud.
“Wait for the bait to bite.” Swain walked towards the side hall, leaning on his black cane.
“The thorn of the black rose penetrates too deep into the flesh and blood.”
“We need to figure it out slowly.”
