Chapter 487: Evelyn's Following, the Tragic Scene at the Northern Border

In the living room, bright yellow candles were lit.

Gregory looked at Anne's firm and stubborn eyes with mixed feelings in his heart.

This journey to the Northland is destined to be full of unknowns and dangers. No one can predict what will be encountered ahead.

But he also understood that Anne missed her mother equally deeply and was absolutely unwilling to stay in the capital to wait for news.

"this!"

Huo Jixing noticed the glances from Gregory and Anne at the same time, and felt helpless.

What's going on? How did the conflict between your father and daughter end up with me?

Finally, after Huo Jixing thought for a moment, he shrugged his shoulders and said softly to Gregory.

"Then take Annie with you."

"Thank you Uncle Huo Jixing!"

Hearing Huo Jixing's words, Annie immediately smiled happily, and a hint of cunning flashed in her lovely watery eyes.

She knew that Uncle Huo Jixing would always stand by her side.

Huo Jixing couldn't help but scratch Annie's nose. Although he noticed the cunning look in her eyes, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Anne has already proven her strength in the battle with the Black Rose in the underground castle.

With her terrifying pyromagnetic talent, combined with Tibbers' demonic power, she is enough to face any power under the gods.

Huo Jixing was not too worried about Annie, but he was a little worried about Gregory.

During his growth, Gregory played a role as a guide.

But with Gregory's current strength, it is really dangerous to enter the northern border laid out by LeBlanc.

But with Anne by his side, Gregory didn't need to worry too much about his safety.

After talking about the important things, Huo Jixing left Gregory and Anne to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, Huo Jixing directly stated that when the departure time is confirmed, he will notify them to go to the border of Northland together.

Upon hearing this, Gregory and Anne had expressions of joy and nervousness on their faces.

Happily, they can go to the northern border and look for traces of Amorin.

The nervous thing is that they are not sure whether they can gain anything this time and find some useful clues.

At the same time, they are also afraid that the final answer they get will completely shatter their thoughts.

When night fell and the moment of parting followed, Annie hugged Tibbers and looked at Huo Jixing with some reluctance.

But considering that she had to go to the college to take leave tomorrow, she had to leave with Gregory.

Late at night in winter, the wind is as cold as a knife.

The bright moonlight penetrated the clouds and fell on the ancient buildings, reflecting mottled shadows.

Huo Jixing had just returned to the bedroom after handling the affairs of the Leiser Guard Corps, preparing to meditate and practice.

Suddenly!

The snow-white Poro emerged from the corner, jumped up, and landed on his shoulders, with little ripples filling his golden eyes.

"Squeak! Yay!"

Snow White Poro changed his usual laziness, danced on his hands and feet and said something, looking very anxious.

Its eyes were full of worry and anxiety, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Huh? Is there danger coming?"

Huo Jixing looked at the snow-white Poro, his expression confused at first, and then gradually became serious.

As the Snow White Poro grows and continues to absorb the power of the stars, its destiny ability has been greatly enhanced.

However, the destiny ability is quite special and is completely outside the control of Snow White Poro. It will only be triggered automatically when encountering dangerous things.

Like Destiny's Child.

At a given moment, images of the future will appear in Snow White Poro's mind.

These pictures are like mysterious pictures, revealing the future direction and what may happen.

Huo Jixing looked at the extremely anxious snow-white Poro, stretched out his warm hand, gently stroked its snow-white hair, and listened carefully to its words.

"Are you saying that this trip to the North will be in danger?"

Snow White Poro immediately understood what Huo Jixing meant, nodded, and continued to chirp.

In its description, the mental picture of destiny emerges.

Covered in ice and snow, biting winds, rumbling thunder, giant bears like mountains, and flames melting snowy mountains.

"Thunder, giant bear, and fire!"

Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed and he could confirm that the scene of destiny that the snow-white Poro saw this time was the border of the North.

The thunder and the giant bear represent the immortal Thunder Volibear!

As for fire, it can rival Volibear in the Freljord.

Only the Flame of the Mountain Hidden, Orn!

"If you put it this way, the matters involved in the Northern Border are not just as simple as Volibear's resurrection." Huo Jixing thought to himself.

Then, he lowered his eyes, looked at the snow-white Poro on his shoulder, and said with a chuckle.

"Okay, don't worry."

"Even if there is danger, I will solve it smoothly."

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Snow White Poro heard the firm tone in Huo Jixing's words, mumbled a few words, and returned to his lazy state again.

Huo Jixing put a smile on his lips and gently rubbed the little guy's head, giving him the warmest comfort.

Suddenly, his eyes turned and fell on the window sill to the south of the bedroom.

Under the bright moonlight, a black crow quietly appeared and stayed by the window, preening its feathers.

It's Swain's Raven-eating Crow!

Huo Jixing walked over, stared into the red eyes of the crow-eating crow, and asked in a solemn voice.

"Has the time been confirmed?"

"Yes, we will set off tomorrow morning and go directly to Drunje." The eating crow said.

Drunje is the closest city to the border of Northland and a transportation hub connecting many towns in Northland.

"The empire's intelligence personnel and the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps have already set off first."

"The imperial battle group guarding near the Northland is also setting off, converging towards Drunje."

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow morning." Huo Jixing nodded and agreed.

He doesn't have many things to prepare, he just needs to bring Spirit Wind and Snow White Poro

However, Huo Jixing had to talk to Gregory and the others in advance and let them prepare their things.

"Be careful, the old gods are not easy to mess with."

Before leaving, the eating crow turned his head to look at Huo Jixing and said in a deep voice.

"Well, I cherish my life and will not put myself in danger." Huo Jixing laughed softly.

Watching the eating crow leave, he came to the window sill and looked at the capital city in the dark night.

In this trip to the North, I shoulder the glory and expectations of the empire and must not fail.

Otherwise, LeBlanc and Black Rose lurking in the dark will definitely rise up.

Huo Jixing suppressed his inner thoughts, returned to the bedroom, took off the spiritual wind hanging on the wall, and left the room.

He was not prepared to say goodbye to Catalina. He had already said before that if he went there, he would inevitably feel sad about parting.

Just when he was about to leave.

Evelin's voice suddenly came from the shadow corner.

Huo Jixing paused, not expecting Evelin to appear at this time.

"What? You're leaving now, don't you say goodbye to me?"

Before she could finish her words, Evelin walked out of the shadows, and the misty darkness gradually turned into a familiar figure, with the demonic whip rope on her back swaying gently.

"Or do you want to eat everything and deny it?"

Evelin frowned, and her charming voice contained a hint of teasing and dissatisfaction.

Huo Jixing stopped, reached out to comfort the snow-white Poro on his shoulders, and stared at Evelin's enchanting figure.

The two people's eyes met, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.

"Why are you here?" Huo Jixing said helplessly.

"Shouldn't I come?"

Evelin walked slowly in front of Huo Jixing with light steps. The distance between the two was so close that she could almost feel each other's breathing.

"You are my man!"

She raised her charming face and stuck out her tongue to lick her purple lips, showing her provocation and temptation.

Seeing Huo Jixing's silence, Evelin couldn't help but laugh and stroked the cheek that she missed so much with her left hand.

"The old gods are not easy to mess with. They lost their godhood and fell into the eternal abyss, turning into twisted and demented afterimages."

"I am extremely worried about you. When I got the news that you were heading to the North, I came over to see you immediately!"

Evelin seemed to be asking for credit, her slim body wrapped around Huo Jixing like a spiritual snake.

"Would you like to take me there with you? I'm familiar with those old gods."

Huo Jixing sighed softly and stretched out his hand to separate Evelin's purple lips.

"If you want to go, who can stop you?"

Evelin seemed not to hear the meaning of Huo Jixing's words, and lightly licked the palm in front of her mouth a few times.

"Then take me with you. Don't worry, I won't appear in front of everyone."

Immediately afterwards, Evelin continued speaking for fear of Huo Jixing's rejection.

"And if LeBlanc makes some moves, I will help you identify the person in Black Rose."

The centipede is dead but not stiff!

How could the Black Rose, a secret society that had influenced the power changes of the Noxus Empire for nearly a thousand years, be destroyed so easily.

Huo Jixing's guess has been verified. There is indeed a black rose behind the changes at the northern border.

He had a premonition that this time things would be as dangerous as the scene of destiny seen by Snow White Poro.

"Let's go!"

Huo Jixing gently opened the bedroom door and left the residence without disturbing Heini.

Evelin seemed like an elf in the night, surrounding Huo Jixing, looking admiringly at the man who had brought her painful and wonderful memories.

Noxus Empire, Dalmor Plains.

The former Drunne tribe has long been integrated into the empire after thousands of years of baptism.

Their culture, traditions, and bloodlines have become intertwined with the empire and become part of its civilization.

In the center of the plain, a city named Drunne rises.

It was a strategic city of the empire and played an important role in the Dalmo Plain in northern Xinjiang for hundreds of years.

On the southern hill of Drunne, a towering black Noxtra is built against the mountain.

Suddenly, the magic vortex in the center rippled, and the capital of Noxus could be faintly seen behind it.

After the ripples stopped, Huo Jixing and his party slowly walked out of Noxtola.

In the distance, the tall and thick city wall stands between heaven and earth, and the imperial flag fluttering in the wind shines majestically in the morning light.

On the plain below the city wall, the imperial battle groups gathered were stationed.

The noise came from Noxian Empire soldiers training.

Wearing iron armor and holding sharp blades, they shot through the sky with an iron-blooded aura, as if declaring their strength and determination to the world.

Huo Jixing looked at the Noxian soldiers in the camp quietly, with a calm expression.

Behind him, Anne stuck out her cute head and looked at Drunne and the camp in the distance, curiosity flashing in her eyes.

As soon as Huo Jixing's figure appeared, soldiers from the Leiser Guard Corps immediately recognized him near Noxtora and came quickly.

"Lord Chief!"

The soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps straightened their backs and saluted, with respect and loyalty on their faces.

Huo Jixing nodded, pointed at Gregory and Anne behind him, and gave instructions.

"Arrange accommodation for them."

"Okay." The Leiser Guards Corps soldier responded.

Gregory and Anne, who were dressed as mages, said nothing. Before leaving, they glanced at Huo Jixing and silently followed the soldiers of the Reese Guard Corps.

They understand that Drunje has entered a state of war and they need to abide by the rules of the camp.

After Gregory and Anne left, Huo Jixing turned his eyes to another soldier of the Reiser Guard Corps and motioned for him to take him to the camp.

After a cup of tea.

In front of the camp gate, Huo Jixing raised his eyes to look at Drunje who was very close at hand, his eyes flashing lightly.

"Many extraordinary beings!"

Within his field of vision, many gorgeous colorful clouds rose like smoke, and each cloud represented a transcendent person.

Some clouds are as hot as fire, some are as cold as ice, and some are as strange as black mist.

These clouds each exhibit the power characteristics of extraordinary beings.

Huo Jixing did not show much interest in these extraordinary beings and walked into the camp casually.

In the center of the camp, the solemn and majestic meeting hall stood in front of you like a castle.

Its architectural style is simple and magnificent, which is in line with the aesthetics of the Noxians.

There were soldiers guarding the door of the meeting hall, and only a few people were qualified to enter.

As soon as Huo Jixing entered, he saw a soldier from the Reese Guard Corps in purple armor handling matters in an orderly manner.

Everyone has a clear division of labor, moves skillfully and quickly, and does not waste any time.

The arrival of Huo Jixing quickly attracted the attention of many soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps.

They raised their heads one after another, with respect and awe in their eyes, and then bowed their heads in salute.

Huo Jixing glanced at the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps present, walked to the main seat and sat down.

The black hardwood table is piled with letters, each one carrying important information.

Huo Jixing wasted no time and immediately opened the letter on the desktop.

It was filled with dense text, all of which contained urgent information about the Northland border.

With his brows furrowed and his eyes sharp, he read the contents of the letter carefully without missing any detail.

But the situation on the northern border was far more serious than he imagined.

During this period of time, many intelligence officers and soldiers of the Reiser Guard Corps went deep into the Northland to investigate the specific situation.

With their efforts, the miserable scene on the northern border slowly appeared before Huo Jixing's eyes.

Many intelligence officers and soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps crossed the Dalmo Plain and entered the snow-covered Iron Thorn Mountains day and night.

The once bustling villages and towns have now been reduced to ruins, with ruins and ruins scattered everywhere without a trace of life.

Even the livestock disappeared.

It was as if a pair of invisible giant hands were erasing all life from this northern land.

As many intelligence officers and soldiers from the Reiser Guard Corps got closer, the situation became even weirder.

They found some irrational bear-man monsters in the mountains and hills.

They are violent and dangerous, and will attack any life they see, as if they have power behind them.

An intelligence officer followed the bear-man monster, but in the end he lost track of it.

Huo Jixing closed the letter in his hand, his eyes dark as ice.

He looked at the Leiser Guard Corps soldiers who had been waiting beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Is there any news from Diver Fort?"

"Lord Leader, we haven't received any news from Fort Diver yet." The soldiers of Leiser's garrison replied respectfully.

"But we have sent a reconnaissance team to the Dredge Fort to try to get in touch with the war group guarding there."
