Chapter 368 The Lost Tomb of the Mysterious Ascended One


Chapter 368 The Lost Tomb of the Mysterious Ascended Person

In the audience hall.

The bright yellow candlelight lit up, reflecting the many flags falling near the throne.

Swain, the recently acclaimed new leader of Noxus, sat alone on the stately marble seat.

Looking from a distance, it looks like a lonely statue, standing at the core of the empire.

The candlelight flickered, and Swain's face was looming in the light and shadow, adding a bit of mystery and majesty.

He was still wearing old clothes, and every wrinkle on his face told of the hardships and glory of the past, and his deep eyes fell on the letter in his hand.

After recuperating in recent years, the huge empire of Noxus has been on the right track of stable development after experiencing war and turmoil.

The smoke of war has gone, replaced by prosperity and peace.

With the vigorous development within the empire, the living standards of the Noxians have improved, which is what Swain is most gratified about.

However, although Swain is at the pinnacle of power, he is not complacent.

On the contrary, it was the calmness of the black rose that made him a little worried.

After careful consideration, Swain used Riel and Belea as chess pieces and frequently tested the Black Rose, but did not get the desired results.

The Black Rose is restricted by the Reese Guard Corps and has not yet found any traces of Riel and Berea.

Let them destroy several important magic experimental bases and rescue the failed demon destroyers inside.

But Swain did not feel the joy of victory, but felt a little worried.

Because this phenomenon is not in line with the style of black roses and pale ladies.

A few rays of blood flashed through Swain's deep eyes, and he shook his head helplessly.

The Trifali Council and the Leiser Guard Corps received too little information, and he was completely unable to deduce more.

I only know that everything Black Rose is doing now is for the rumored iron armor of the underworld.

Ta-ta! Ta-ta!

The sound of light footsteps recalled Swain's thoughts.

He raised his eyes and looked, and the familiar figure of Huo Jixing came into view.

"Your Majesty Swain!" Huo Jixing said respectfully.

Swain nodded and motioned Huo Jixing to walk to the simple marble table.

He is very optimistic about Huo Jixing, especially his performance in recent times, and he is completely able to stand alone.

Coupled with his relationship with the Du Kecao family, he will definitely grow into a pillar of the empire in the future.

When Huo Jixing approached, he took out the letter that was lying alone on the table and handed it to Huo Jixing.

“News just came from the Shurima continent, confirming that Katarina has disappeared.”

“The last place she appeared was Uzeris.”

Huo Jixing frowned when he heard this. He reached out to take the letter and read it carefully.

Caterina serves as the representative of the Du Cacao family to deal with the issues of the imperial expatriates and the indigenous people of Shurima.

At the same time, as a high-ranking officer of the Reiser Guard Corps, he carried out some secret assassination missions.

But while on a mission, Catalina was missing, and the soldiers of the Reiser Guard Corps sent out to search found nothing.

It was like Catalina disappeared directly into the endless desert.

After Huo Jixing read the letter, a surge of anger suddenly surged deep in his calm heart, and a red-gold glow filled his pupils.

"What is the mission?"

Swain noticed subtle energy fluctuations and raised his eyes to look at Huo Jixing's red-gold eyes, feeling a slight tingling sensation.

“Explore the ancient tomb!”

“The Reese Guard Secretariat received a secret message that someone discovered an extremely ancient cemetery in the desert.”

"It is suspected to be the lost tomb of a mysterious ascended person."

"Katerina went to explore the location of the tomb and disappeared."

Hearing Swain's words, Huo Jixing paused inwardly and raised his eyebrows.

"Ascended Ones?" In the continent of Shurima, the meaning of Ascended Ones is very important.

They are great figures respected by the people of Shurima, and are warriors of the gods.

A lost tomb of an Ascended One is enough to influence all nearby forces and even drive them crazy.

"It just so happens that I don't have anything important to do recently, so leave this task to me."

Huo Jixing stuffed the letter in his hand into his arms and said.

He understood Swain’s purpose in calling him here. The empire wanted this lost tomb of the mysterious Ascended One.

"Well, you should leave as soon as possible." Swain nodded slightly, having heard about the relationship between Huo Jixing and Catalina.

"I will let all the forces on the Shurima continent cooperate with you."

After Huo Jixing left the Immortal Fortress, he immediately returned to his residence.

Just met Anne.

With Huo Jixing's careful arrangements, Gregory successfully settled in the capital and had his own house.

After solving his life problems, he began to look for traces of Amoline again, which led to Annie coming to play from time to time.

"Uncle Huo Jixing, are you free in the afternoon?" Annie ran over holding Tibbers in her arms and asked, raising her head.

"Sorry, Annie!"

Huo Jixing squatted down, pinched Annie's face, and pretended to be relaxed.

“I have something to do recently and I have to go out for a while.”

"If you are bored, you can come over and play with Heini."

Annie stretched out her hand and tugged on Huo Jixing's clothes, showing a worried look.

“Is it dangerous?”

“Haha, it’s not dangerous.” Huo Jixing laughed softly.

Then he picked up Annie and walked around the room several times.

Sword boy Heini packed up Huo Jixing's belongings, including the sword blade [Lingfeng] that was still under maintenance.

After Heini finished preparing, Huo Jixing said goodbye to the two little guys directly and left the capital.

The dark underground palace.

The pale lady was closing her eyes to rest. After hearing the hurried footsteps outside the palace, she opened her dark eyes.

A figure wearing a black robe walked in quickly, crawled on the ground, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the pale lady, there is urgent news that I need to report to you."

"What is it?"

The pale lady stretched her waist lazily, showing an extremely tempting curve.

"It's news from the Shurima continent, that a lost tomb of a mysterious ascended person has been discovered." The figure in black robe said.

“The cemetery is very dangerous and we need to arrange for manpower to go there for support.”

The pale lady mused, the Ascended One of the Shurima Empire, also known as the Celestial Warrior.

Under normal circumstances, she might be more interested, so it might as well send a clone to go there.

But it is different now. The matter of the Underworld Iron Armor has reached a critical moment, and she cannot leave the Noxus capital.

"There is also news that Catalina disappeared because of exploring the ancient tomb." The figure in black robe said.

"Katrina? Confirm?"

The pale lady stood up and walked to the figure in black robe with elegant steps.

"Confirm, the above news is from Miss Cassiopeia!"
