Chapter 486 The layout of the old god Volibear LeBlanc
The power given by the raven demon allows Swain to see into any secret.
This is also the reason why Swain can control the overall situation of the empire.
His foresight and precise decision-making also stem from this.
Huo Jixing's body had just completed the digitalization process when he received an urgent summons from Swain.
Therefore, there was a trace of aura left around him.
These auras cannot be ignored in Swain's eyes.
The danger they brought caused the demonic power in his body to automatically sense crisis.
"Your Majesty Swain!"
Huo Jixing seemed unaware and stepped to the simple marble table.
He took the lead in greeting Swain, and then his eyes fell on Darius and the Faceless Men.
"General Darius, and Your Majesty the Faceless One."
The three people in front of me together form the highest authority of the Noxus Empire——
< br>Trifari Parliament!
Everyone is a powerful figure.
Although their strength is not as strong as Huo Jixing's, they are still worthy of his respect.
"What happened to the empire? You are so anxious to come to me." Huo Jixing asked bluntly.
In his past experience, such an urgent summons definitely meant that something important had happened.
"Well, there is a problem on the northern border of the empire." Swain motioned Huo Jixing to sit down and said in a solemn voice.
Northland Border?
After Huo Jixing heard the familiar place name, his eyes narrowed and became sharp instantly.
For him, the Northern Border is not only a battlefield he has experienced personally, but also an unforgettable memory.
The name of the Winter's Claw tribe was like a sharp blade, cutting through his heart, causing waves of pain.
Winter has arrived!
Are Sejuani, Fury of the North, and her tribal alliance preparing to start a border war again?
Huo Jixing still remembers the northern border war he participated in when he first came to Valoran.
Bloody, cruel, violent!
Every charge is a brush with death, and every victory is won with blood and life.
Soldiers of the Noxus Empire and warriors of the Winter's Claw tribe engaged in a desperate fight on the icy plains of the Freljord.
It was as if they were drawn into a huge millstone of flesh and blood, unable to extricate themselves, and could only struggle under the ruthless crushing.
"Who did it?" Huo Jixing restrained his inner emotions and asked.
A cold and cruel look flashed across Swain's eagle eyes. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice.
“It’s unclear who did it for the time being.”
“All the investigators we sent there have disappeared, and the news that came back is also fragmented.”
Swain He continued to speak, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously, making a dull sound.
"But what is certain is that large-scale killings occurred on the border of the North, and the villages and towns belonging to the empire have also lost news one after another."
Hearing this, Darius sat up straight and spoke with The armored and gloved hands rubbed the table, like ferocious wolves choosing people to devour.
“The war group guarding the Northland also lost news about such a secret large-scale operation.”
“Hmph, I suspect that someone is secretly colluding with the forces of Freljord! "
The faceless man on the far left felt everyone's eyes falling on him as if they were real, and said helplessly.
"The secret whistle of the Assassin's Guild did send back some news, but it was blocked and it was also incomplete."
"It can be seen that the people who carried out the secret operation were very well prepared and almost blocked any news."< br>
The faceless man hid his body in a robe of heavy fabric, and could not show any emotion, like a black statue.
“Some secret whistles said they heard the sound of thunder resounding in the sky, flooding towns and villages.”
“There were also secret whistles saying they saw terrifying monsters all over the mountains and plains, sweeping across the ice and snow plains.”
< br>
"But there is no follow-up news. I guess they may have all died at the border of Northland."
Hearing the news about the Faceless Men, Huo Jixing and Darius subconsciously looked at each other, His eyes were filled with haze.
They all knew what this news meant.
The deafening sound of thunder?
Terrible monsters all over the mountains and plains?
Isn't this the scene when the will of the immortal Thunder Volibear is revived?
Katerina also spoke at the right moment.
“The empire’s intelligence system has also completely lost the news about the northern border, and is now sending personnel there one after another.”
“As for the specific news, it may take some time to come back. "
Huo Jixing looked at Catalina who looked tired. It seemed that she had not rested last night and had been busy until now.
After making simple eye contact with Katarina, his eyes fell on Swain.
"The situation on the border of Northland is probably caused by the noise caused by the eternal thunder. General Darius and I have seen similar scenes." He recalled his past experience.
“But those guys are completely out of control and will not be so tightly organized at all.”
“There are still people working secretly!”
Huo Jixing pondered for a while, He said with inquiring eyes.
"Did Black Rose take action?"
Since LeBlanc disappeared, Black Rose suffered heavy losses under the empire's crackdown.
They had to escape into the darkness and temporarily disappear from everyone's sight.
Now, after such a long time, such a big thing suddenly happened on the border of Northland.
Huo Jixing has reason to suspect that LeBlanc and Black Rose are secretly planning and planning.
The most important thing is that if the Black Rose really comes back, they will definitely bring a bigger conspiracy and a more violent storm.
Swein nodded, his eyes deep and firm, obviously seeing that things at the border of the North were not simple.
The icy land of Freljord hides many dangers and challenges.
Let the wind and snow raging to bury it!
But myths and legends about old gods, mysterious snowmen and restless animal spirit walker shamans are still passed down
And Thunder Roar Volibear is the best among them, an ancient old god.
If the matter on the northern border involves Volibear, then the empire will inevitably send strong men there.
Among the many heroes of the Empire, those who are familiar with the situation in the North include Darius, Kled and Huo Jixing.
However, if one can resist the legendary old god Volibear, then only
Huojixing!
Swain's eyes were solemn, and the thoughts in his mind were like turbulent waves, rising and falling.
He understood that LeBlanc had never really given up her desire for the iron armor of the underworld.
How can you give up on everything that has been planned for a thousand years?
The Iron Armor of the Underworld is the key to LeBlanc's ambition, and it is also the key to her plot to gain the power of death.
Is this to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack the east and the west? Swain secretly guessed.
LeBlanc is preparing to use the riot caused by the old god Volibear to disperse the power within the capital.
His eyes turned to Huo Jixing, and he became more and more certain.
LeBlanc’s first target is Huo Jixing, and only he can fight against the old god Volibear.
Swain took a deep breath, and the red demon hand filled with restless power.
The location of the Underworld Iron Armor also seals the space passage connecting the Shadow Island.
Once the passage is opened, it will bring unpredictable disasters to the empire.
Therefore, he must take action to stop LeBlanc's conspiracy plan. The empire's next actions will be extremely critical, and it is destined to be a battle of strength and resourcefulness.
Every decision made by the Trifari Council may affect the fate of the empire.
Huo Jixing also thought of this, and then he noticed Swain's hesitation and was about to speak.
"Let me go."
Darius stood up, his dark wolf eyes flashing with violence and murder.
“With the power of the world rune fragments, I can at least escape unscathed.”
“And I don’t believe that LeBlanc can completely awaken the will of the old god Volibear.”
He recalled the scene when Volibear's will revived.
Under the thunder and storm, people pollute their souls regardless of friend or foe, change their form, and turn them into terrifying monsters.
If LeBlanc wants to awaken the full will of the old god Volibear, she will inevitably be contaminated.
This is a dangerous gamble. Darius does not believe that a person who cares about his life like LeBlanc will let himself fall into a place of no return.
Huo Jixing stared at Darius, shook his head slowly, and said in a calm tone: "General Darius, it's better for me to go."
"Don't be afraid of anything unexpected. Just afraid of ten thousand, if LeBlanc does awaken all the will of the old god Volibear, then you"
"You can't leave!"
Huo Jixing's expression was extremely determined.
Although Darius relies on the power of [Volume Fragment], he can rival the legend.
But he will never be Volibear's opponent, especially Volibear who has revived all his will.
"It's just a trick. I will quell the unrest in the Northland before the year."
Huo Jixing looked at Swain and Darius with burning eyes, waiting for a reply.
After breaking through to legend, he is very much looking forward to competing with the old god Volibear to test his current strength.
After thinking for a while, Swain gently shook his head at Darius, taking into account the changes in Huojixing.
"Darius, you stay and be responsible for guarding the capital."
Darius frowned. He looked at Swain and Huo Jixing and sat back down. .
Now that the candidate has been confirmed, the next thing is very simple.
They must immediately mobilize personnel and go to the border of Northland to find the truth of the matter.
As the meeting ended, everyone present began to disperse and get busy.
Huo Jixing deliberately stayed until the end because he knew Swain would have questions to ask him.
“Are you sure?” Swain stood behind Huo Jixing, his deep eagle eyes glowing red.
"I really can't answer you before we fight." Huo Jixing said with a smile.
His tone was extremely relaxed, as if he didn't care about his next opponent, the old god Volibear.
Swain stared at the calm Huo Jixing in front of him, a smile on his cold face.
"Then, I will wait for your good news in the capital, and look forward to your triumphant return."
Huo Jixing bowed and saluted, and walked out of the audience hall.
With [Noxtra] here, it would be very easy for him to travel between the northern land and the imperial capital.
Even if there is a problem with [Noxtra], it will be easy to return to the capital with his speed.
When Huo Jixing came down the stairs of triumph, he saw Catalina waiting for him.
He immediately walked over, hugged Catalina gently, and reached out to touch her soft face.
“Don’t be so tired, there is always more to do.”
"Do you want me to go with you?"
Katrina did not answer Huo Jixing, but expressed her inner thoughts.
Just now in the audience hall, she wanted to persuade Huo Jixing.
The wild killings of the old god Volibear have long been spread throughout the Valoran continent through many myths and stories.
But she didn’t speak in the end.
This is her man's choice, and she must respect his choice.
"No, you wait for me in the capital, and things will be over soon."
Huo Jixing looked down at Catalina and kissed her white forehead.
"Let's go, go back first."
After saying that, he took Catalina's hand and walked on the streets of the capital, heading home.
The fact that Huo Jixing was about to leave the capital and go to the northern border could not be hidden from anyone who was interested.
While he was waiting for Swain's notification, an unexpected visit broke his peaceful life.
At dusk.
Crimson rays of rays of light shine in the study, and some dust jumps in the light, forming tiny spots of light.
Huo Jixing is sitting behind the wooden table, processing the news about the Northland border that the Leiser Guard Corps has searched for.
Suddenly, Gregory came to visit him with Anne.
“Why do you have time to come here?”
Huo Jixing walked down the stairs and looked up at Gregory and Anne who walked in.
Gregory entered the room, looked around and said, "We happened to be passing by and wanted to come see you."
Huo Jixing led them to sit on the sofa in the living room. , noticed that Anne looked a little unhappy, and asked:
"I remember that Annie is going to study at the academy, right?"
"What's wrong, Annie, is there something wrong?"
Anne did not answer, but hugged Tibbers, When he came to Huo Jixing's side, he gently tugged on the hem of his clothes with his small hands, his big watery eyes full of grievances.
"Huh? Are you wronged in the college? Or are your classmates ostracizing you?"
Huo Jixing stroked Annie's head and said with a smile.
"No, it's my father who doesn't want me to go to the North with him." Annie buried her head in Huo Jixing's arms, her voice choked with sobs.
“Going to the Northland?”
Huo Jixing paused and looked at Gregory, who had remained silent since he came in.
Seeing this, Gregory had to tell his purpose.
“I heard the news that you are about to go to the border of Northland, I.!”
"I want to find traces of Amorin again."
Gregory's eyes shone with an indescribable light, as if he was nostalgic for the good times in the past.
“I want to go too!” Annie said stubbornly, hugging Tibbers tightly in her arms.
Huo Jixing looked helpless and immediately understood the purpose and contradiction of Gregory and Anne.
Gregory could never let go of Amorin, whom he missed so much.
He worked tirelessly to find news about Amorin through the channels behind the secret society.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could never get any valuable information.
This time I heard that Huo Jixing was going to the Northland, so I came to visit and wanted to go together.
The border of Northland is where Amorin disappeared.
And his departure caused Annie to need someone to take care of her, so she wanted to leave Huo Jixing here and let Heini take care of her.
As a result, Anne immediately became unhappy when she heard her father's plan, and wanted to go with her father to find traces of her mother.
