Chapter 342: Changes in the Capital, Unexpected Visit

Outside the capital of Noxus.

There are many fortresses and towns on the vast plains, like soldiers standing tall, guarding the central capital.

In the fortress near the capital.

A huge and majestic building stands in the core position, which is particularly eye-catching.

The outer wall of this building is carved with complex patterns, and the dark gray walls on both sides have red imperial flags flying high.

Buzz! Buzz!

Accompanied by the trembling sound of the air.

The surging magic energy is injected into the vortex center of the dark gray building.

Then the vortex began to rotate, and the mottled magic light lit up.

Gradually, ripples appeared in the center of the vortex, as if the water surface was blown by the breeze.

[Noxtora]!

This portal of the Noxus Empire is being activated, connecting to another [Noxtora].

In the energy ripples, a hazy image becomes clearer and clearer, which is a heavily guarded barrier.

There were many figures nearby wearing solid armor and holding sharp weapons, escorting minerals.

Wait until the magic energy stops.

The transport team from Rocklund set foot in this fortress, and the smell of glass filled the air.

Huo Jixing followed the team and slowly entered the fortress.

When registering, he took out the Reiser Garrison Corps token given by Yusir and showed it to the guards.

His own token was lost in the Quiet Water Prison incident.

After leaving the fortress, Huo Jixing walked along the flat and wide road all the way to the capital of Noxus.

The capital of Noxus, the civilian area.

Huo Jixing did not use the power of the stars to hurry on, but chose to walk slowly.

It was because of this choice that he saw the changes in the Noxus Empire during this period.

The scene before his eyes was completely different from the dark and dilapidated period during the reign of Brown Darkwell.

Today's civilian area has become prosperous and noisy, full of vitality and vigor.

Although the streets are still narrow, many shops have opened and many children can be seen chasing and playing.

Huo Jixing looked around casually and noticed that people's faces were full of smiles, no longer full of worries and fears like in the past.

They are full of hope for a better life tomorrow.

In addition, Huo Jixing also saw many people in strange costumes.

These people wore unique clothes with bright colors and their faces were also a bit special, obviously not the native style of Noxus.

Listening to their language, they should be vassal forces from the Noxus Empire.

The policies promulgated by Swain and the Trifaree Council brought the out-of-control empire back on track and began to gradually regain its former glory.

The dark rule of Bron Darkwell has been swept into the garbage dump.

After entering the capital.

Huo Jixing saw many new buildings rising from the ground and towering into the sky.

The once narrow streets have been widened a lot, and carriages and pedestrians are constantly coming and going, and laughter is heard one after another.

Huo Jixing was deeply pleased by the scenes that were unfolding.

Because this represented that the empire was heading for prosperity and prosperity.

As night fell.

Huo Jixing returned to his residence in the capital.

He looked up at the three-story building in front of him, and the memories buried in his mind emerged.

Creak!

Pushing the door open.

Huo Jixing walked in and ran into the sword boy Heini, whose expression changed.

After not seeing him for half a year, the little guy had grown a lot, his eyes were bright, and his body was strong.

"Lord Huo Jixing!"

Heini hurried over when he heard the door open, thinking that someone had mistakenly entered, but when he saw Huo Jixing, his face was full of joy.

"When did you come back?"

Huo Jixing walked up and rubbed Heini's head.

"When else? He must have just come back."

Compared to before, the little guy had grown to his shoulders, and he would be as tall as him in a while.

Heini touched his nose, looking embarrassed: "You haven't eaten yet, I'll go get some food and water."

"Let's have some strong liquor, and prepare some for this little thing."

Huo Jixing took out the sleepy snow-white Poro from his arms and threw it on his shoulder.

"Okay." Heini agreed.

The long dining table was filled with a dazzling array of food, and there were a few empty bottles of wine in the corner.

The snow-white Poro was holding a piece of bacon and eating it, and his satisfied expression seemed to tell people that food is the best thing in the world.

"Tell me quickly, what happened after the Soul-Eating Night came to Bilgewater?"

Heini sat beside Huo Ji, with a flash of expectation in his eyes, and couldn't wait to know the next story.

Huo Jixing smiled slightly, picked up a wine jug filled with strong liquor, drank a sip, and picked up a few pieces of delicious meat and put them into his mouth.

After chewing carefully, he slowly opened his mouth to continue telling his experience.

"When the Harrowing Night came and the black fog swept across Bilgewater, the entire port city fell into danger."

"The undead and ghosts appeared in the darkness, wandering the streets and alleys, robbing the lives of the living."

Hojixing described the events of the Harrowing Night in Bilgewater, occasionally mentioning Thresh and Hecarim.

"In the end, we successfully repelled those undead creatures."

Every time Heini came back from Hojixing, he would ask him about his mission experience.

In order to satisfy Heini's curiosity, he would select some to tell.

As for the dangerous fights, he would simply skip them.

Heini listened attentively. As a sword boy, he understood the magnificence of the Valoran continent and the wonderful world outside.

When Huo Jixing stopped talking, he came back to his senses.

"What about Gangplank? Did he die in the Soul-Eating Night?"

Hennie seemed to think of something and asked with wide eyes.

"This guy once plundered the Empire's ships in the Sea of ​​Watchers, and it is said that he stole Lord Swain's Leviathan."

"Uh"

Huo Jixing looked a little helpless, lowered his eyes, and looked at Heni with a vicious expression.

This is the revenge engraved in the bones of Noxians.

"Okay, I'm done, it's your turn to clean up the table." Huo Jixing pointed to the messy table.

This is their division of labor, Huo Jixing is responsible for telling stories, and Heni is responsible for cleaning up the table.

"Oh, okay."

Hennie stood up and cleaned up briskly.

"If the Empire launches a war against Bilgewater in the future, I will be the first to rush over and take off Gangplank's head."

He seemed to be still immersed in the topic just now, while picking up the plate, he said ambitiously.

He didn't care about the difference in strength between himself and Gangplank.

Huo Jixing heard this and shook his head gently. He reached out and grabbed the snow-white Poro holding the piece of meat. He ignored its protest and rubbed its plush body.

Warm bedroom.

Firewood was filled in the fireplace, and the flames were burning.

Huo Jixing finished washing up, holding the snow-white Poro, and came to the bed.

Then he looked at the hazy night outside the window, and did not choose to practice, but completely relaxed his mind and fell asleep.

The next morning.

The autumn wind was getting colder, and winter was coming.

Huo Jixing woke up on time. Just as he got up and got out of bed, he noticed a familiar breath in the small building.
