Chapter 481 The souls of beasts condense in the strong wind
Noxus capital, late at night.
The quiet darkness is like a falling curtain in a theater, covering the brightly lit capital.
The biting cold wind blew through the night sky, soaked through the glass windows, and silently rolled into the room, shaking the lit candles.
Huo Jixing closed the letter in his hand and took a breath, looking slightly helpless.
During the recent period, the many affairs of the Leiser Guard Corps made him recall his working life in his previous life.
At that time, he was running around for a living every day, suffering from pressure and exhaustion.
However, what is different from his previous life is that his current mentality has undergone a completely different change.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person who had to work hard to survive and was burdened with a heavy burden of life.
Now, he is the leader of the Reiser Garrison of the Noxus Empire. He holds a high position of power and cannot be compared to the same.
Although it is still a bit busy, the feeling is completely different.
"Will the dragon-slaying warrior eventually become a dragon?"
Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and scanned the empire map spread out on the table, focusing on the locations of many key cities. Stay.
The locations of these cities have been marked with special fire paint.
It is a place of focus for the Trifari Council and the Reiser Garrison, and carries important strategic significance for the empire.
After the order of Trifali Council was issued.
Darius, Kled and other imperial heroes passed through [Noxtora] and went to key cities everywhere to carry out operations secretly.
Their goal is to eliminate the Black Rose members lurking in the city.
This is a secret and dangerous purge operation.
Compared with Darius who once led the Trefari Army to suppress the rebellious nobles and forces within the empire, it is completely comparable.
It can even be said that the intensity of this action was even more intense.
Because of the members who can enter the Black Rose through introduction, their background and strength cannot be underestimated.
This makes Darius and his team’s pursuit and siege full of uncertainty and danger.
Even the orders of the Trifari Council will inevitably cause killings in various cities.
But for Darius and the others, this opportunity is once in a lifetime, and they are willing to pay any price for the future of the empire.
Through the news from Leise Guard Secret Office, Huo Jixing has seen situations in many cities mobilizing battle groups to suppress rebel forces.
Darius, Kled and others used violent attacks to forcefully kill the members of the Black Rose and the forces behind them.
See the leopard through the tube!
This purge operation made Huo Jixing understand that the Black Rose has a profound impact on the empire, which is beyond most people's imagination.
"For thousands of years, the black rose has definitely hidden more than what the capital city has revealed." Huo Jixing thought to himself.
"They must have many secret strongholds in the vast territory of the empire and on the vast coastline."
"For example, the magic laboratories that appeared frequently before."
"This cleaning operation But they are rarely seen in the city. Even if they find a specific location, most of them are empty. "
Huo Jixing suppressed his thoughts, stood up and walked to the window, opened the wooden window, and overlooked the capital. .
The stretching buildings are looming in the night, and thousands of lights are entangled in the night like a long dragon.
Behind these lights is a microcosm of Noxian life, representing their expectations for the future.
In recent times, with the actions of the Trifali Council, the haze caused by the black rose is gradually dissipating.
The Empire is returning to its former glory and exorcising the darkness of the past hundred years.
Behind this, Swain's respect and reputation in the hearts of Noxians has almost reached an unprecedented peak.
Far superior to any previous Noxian leader!
"As expected of Swain!" Huo Jixing couldn't help but admire softly.
Then he took a deep breath of cold air, but could not feel the slightest chill.
His life constitution is undergoing subtle changes after breaking through the boundaries of legend.
“It’s time to go back!”
After staying for a while, Huo Jixing closed the window, arranged the things on the table, and slowly left the room.
In the three-story building, the lights were on, as if waiting for the returning person.
As soon as Huo Jixing came back, he saw Annie and Gregory waiting in the living room.
“Why do you have time to come here?”
Huo Jixing looked at Gregory sitting on the wooden chair with a smile and said softly.
Hearing this, Gregory looked hesitant and seemed a little embarrassed, but in the end he couldn't help but ask.
"I got the news that the Empire is completely purging the Black Rose Secret Society?"
Huo Jixing frowned slightly and looked at Gregory and Anne beside him. After pondering for a while, he nodded slowly.
"Yes, this purge operation has been going on for a while, and it is almost over."
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he suddenly understood that Gregory and Anne had suddenly arrived. reason.
"I would like to ask you to pay attention to the news about Amorin. Her disappearance may be related to the Black Rose Secret Society." Gregory said in a slightly urgent tone.
Although Anne didn't speak, the way she hugged Tibbers revealed her inner tension.
"I have already told you to go down and pay attention to the news about Amorin." Huo Jixing walked over and sat next to Gregory.
During his stay in the northern part of the empire, Amorin left a good impression on him and took good care of Huo Jixing at that time.
Let him enjoy the warm care that is rare in his life in the North.
When leaving the village, Amorin prepared a gift for Huo Jixing in advance.
Even in the days after the incident, Huo Jixing would occasionally think of Amorin's care.
“But there is no news about Amorin yet.” Huo Jixing shook his head slightly.
Long before the operation to clean up the Black Rose, he ordered the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps under his command to pay more attention to the news of Amorin.
But unfortunately, no news of Amorin came during this period.
Many core members of Black Rose also know very little about LeBlanc’s demonic experimental plan.
Seeing the disappointed expressions of Gregory and Anne, Huo Jixing smiled and comforted them.
“Don’t worry too much. Since there is no news about Amorin yet, it means that her situation is safe for the time being.”
Gregory and Annie accepted Huo Jixing’s comfort and reluctantly Put away the disappointment on his face.
They knew that although Huo Jixing's words were comforting, they were also speculations based on facts.
Amorin has been missing for seven or eight years, and there has been no news.
Even though Gregory has not given up yet, there is a hint of pessimism in his heart.
He often sat alone in front of the window in the dead of night, staring at the stars, thinking about what might happen to Amorin.
If he didn't have to take care of Anne, maybe he would have returned to the Northland to look for traces of Amorin.
At this moment, Heini prepared dinner and brought out the delicious food.
The aroma filled the room, and Huo Jixing persuaded Gregory and Anne to stay and have dinner together at the right time.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is a bit silent, except for the occasional sound of tableware.
Huo Jixing tried to stir up the topic, talking about the black rose and the magic laboratory.
Gregory and Anne showed some concern and listened to Huo Jixing's narration.
Although they tried hard to hide themselves, it could still be seen that their interest was indeed not high.
Annie was also quieter than usual. The snow-white poro ran over and stroked it at one time or another.
Compared to Gregory who doesn't speak, Anne's performance is already good and she occasionally responds to Huo Jixing and Heini.
Gregory, on the other hand, was completely immersed in his own thoughts. From time to time, he would look at the night sky outside the door, as if he was thinking about something. After enjoying the dinner prepared by Heini, Gregory stood up, politely said goodbye to Huo Jixing, and left with Anne.
Huo Jixing stood up to say goodbye to them without much effort, watching their backs disappear into the night.
Amorine's disappearance has been haunting Gregory and Anne, leaving them in grief.
Huo Jixing had nothing to do about it. Amorin's importance to Gregory and Anne was irreplaceable.
What he can do now is pay attention to the news about Amorin, hoping to help them.
After returning to the bedroom.
Huo Jixing saw the snow-white Poro who was full of food and wine on the soft bed and was taking a nap lazily.
During this period of time, he has been busy dealing with the black rose and has no time to take care of the little guy, so he can only leave it to Heini to take care of.
Now Huo Jixing looked at the snow-white Poro and felt that it seemed to have some changes.
Huo Jixing approached the window and picked up the snow-white Poro. While playing with it, he saw a clump of pale golden hair on its neck.
"Is it the manifestation of the power of destiny?"
He remembered Professor Heimerdinger's guess about the Snow White Poro's ability, which was confirmed in the continent of Shurima.
But the power of destiny is too special, and he has not yet developed a specific ability.
"Zhizhi!"
Snow-white Poro murmured, swung his body, left Huo Jixing's hands, and lay on the bed again.
Huo Jixing smiled helplessly, sat upright on the bed, called up the data panel, and his consciousness sank into it.
[Name: Huo Jixing]
[Quality: 580]
【strength:? ? 】
[Physique:? ? 】
【Agility:? ? 】

[Skills: Conquer the master, look inside oneself, and have photographic memory]
[Talents: Star Spirit·Nanli Suzaku, Star Spirit·Donghua Qinglong, Star Spirit·Western White Tiger, Star Spirit·Xuanwu]
“The body changes are not over yet.”
Huo Jiexing first turned his attention to his four basic attributes, which still showed question marks.
After the battle in the underground castle, his body was undergoing unknown changes, which seemed to be transcending the essence of life.
But he had a hunch that such changes would end in the near future.
"The essence is enough to light up two Xuanwu stars." Huo Jixing whispered.
He had already greeted Swain and obtained many high-quality magic rune items from the empire's treasury.
Just because I am busy during this period, I have not lighted up the Xuanwu constellation for the time being.
Huo Jixing's consciousness sank and he entered the familiar Xuanwu constellation.
In the boundless starry sky, the phantom belonging to Xuanwu is reflected among the stars, watching everything quietly.
As the only lit star, the Dipper star shines brightly, hanging on Xuanwu's forehead, lighting up the starry sky.
Huo Jixing's eyes moved and looked at the other six Xuanwu stars behind.
Although they are slightly dimmer compared to the Dipper stars, each star exudes its own unique brilliance.
“Light up the Niu constellation!”
Huo Jixing stared at the second star of the Xuanwu constellation, and his consciousness settled.
All of a sudden!
The azure essence surged out from his eyes, turned into dancing starlight, and fell onto the surface of the Ox star.
The dark ripples are rising, it is the water of Rengui in the north that is rippling, filling the starry sky.
It was also at this time that many golden words lit up in the depths of Huo Jixing's soul, conveying the innate ability of the Ox Star.
Ox star!
The second of the seven souvenirs of Xuanwu in the north.
Master clouds, mist, frost and snow, and the souls of beasts.
Huo Jixing's eyes flickered. At this moment, he suddenly thought of some memories from his previous life, about the star Ox.
The Ox star represented Altair in the previous life, and the most famous one related to it is the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
Their story has been passed down for thousands of years and moved countless people, but in the end they could not escape the tragic ending.
The reason why he remembered it was because of the impact that the incident involving Gregory and Amorin had on him.
Huo Jixing put away his thoughts, looked at the remaining number of essences, and continued to light up the next star.
"Light up the female dormitory!"
The starry sky filled with Rengui water once again lit up with bright starlight. The two were intertwined together, like exquisite gauze, covering the field of vision.
The Ox star has not yet stabilized, and the female star suddenly blooms with gusts of dark wind, sweeping across the boundless starry sky.
Huo Jixing looked at the changes in front of him, listened to the screaming sound in his ears, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
In the starry sky that should be quiet, strange winds stir up the water of Rengui and splash it on many stars.
Suddenly, the Xuanwu phantom, which had been silent for a long time, raised its turtle head and looked at the gusts of wind.
The mottled marks on the thick turtle shell are like ancient runes lighting up, exuding mysterious ancient power.
Only a moment.
Whether it is the dark wind sweeping across the starry sky or the water of Rengui like drizzle, they are all integrated into the turtle shell.
At this moment, Xuanwu Phantom showed unparalleled majesty and power.
Nvsu Star!
The third of the seven souvenirs of Xuanwu in the north.
The main cloud condenses the strong wind, and the carapace protects the fog.
Huo Jixing looked at the golden words emerging in his heart, and somewhat understood what was going on in the Xuanwu Constellation.
The souls of hundreds of beasts condense in the strong wind!
The innate abilities given by the two stars lit up this time are all related to the underworld.
"Sure enough, the Xuanwu Constellation's ability is biased toward the underworld and the soul."
Huo Jixing stared at the Xuanwu Constellation that was becoming more solid, with anticipation rising in his eyes.
Then, he left Xuanwu Constellation.
He originally wanted to return his consciousness directly to the real world, but unexpectedly saw subtle changes in the data panel.
"Huh?"
Huo Jixing paused and looked at the data panel, seeing that the four basic attributes that were supposed to be question marks were slowly condensing into numbers.
“Is it affected by the two Xuanwu constellations that have just been opened?”
He wanted to wait for the changes to the data panel to be completed, but the numbers were slow to show up.
"How many more days will it last? Is the post-legendary realm so difficult to digitize?"
After Huo Jixing's consciousness touched the four basic attributes, hazy news came.
"Then just wait a little longer!"
Expectations arose in his heart, hoping that the realm after the legend would not disappoint him.
