Chapter 186: The Deal with Lux and New Talent!

The snow-capped mountains and glaciers flickered.

Garen suppressed his inner thoughts and looked at Lux, who was standing in front of him. With a slightly gloomy expression, he asked.

"I need to leave the castle and go to the Fearless Vanguard Corps stationed nearby. Do you want to go with me?"

"No."

Lux saw Garen's inner restlessness and shook her head gently.

The Illuminator sent a message.

Garen's recent actions were not ideal, and he encountered many twists and turns during the pursuit of Silas.

No one could imagine that a group of lawless rioters followed the traitor Silas in Biangou Town, which would make the Fearless Vanguard Corps extremely embarrassed.

Garen raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and signaled Diadore and others to leave the Crown Guard Castle together.

This opportunity cannot be missed, Garen must seize it.

The situation he encountered before was indeed a bit dangerous.

Silas the Liberator proved to all Demacians that he was cunning and difficult to deal with.

Under the leadership of Silas, the lawless rioters moved in secret.

They always raid isolated patrols and watchtowers outside the town, and as soon as the troops gather to fight, they immediately retreat to the forest and swamp.

"Silas, you will not be able to escape this time."

In front of the castle mountain road, Garen looked at Lux who was waving behind him and suppressed the complex emotions rising in his heart.

Mysterious Silver City.

Dawn Avenue leading to the Temple of the Lightbringer.

Lux rode on Starfire, wearing the hood of a blue cloak, tucking her long golden hair into it, and her sea-blue eyes carefully observed the surroundings.

Cry! Cry! Cry!

The high-pitched roar echoed above the temple.

In the distant sky, a Demacia dragon bird team composed of silver-gray dragon birds flapped their wings.

The silver-gray wings stretched out, creating layers of air ripples, and the slender body was crisscrossing the clouds.

"Demacia Dragon Bird Knight, is there something urgent?"

Lux looked up at the sky and saw the Demacia Dragon Bird Knight about to fall, with a solemn expression.

The northern border of the Kingdom of Demacia is too vast, and surrounded by mountains, the terrain is complex.

Demacia's vanguard sentinels cannot effectively guard all mountain intersections.

Faced with such a situation, the Demacia Dragon Bird Knights will fly among the mountains in the north of the kingdom in small teams to conduct reconnaissance patrols.

But in an instant, the Demacia Dragon Bird Squad landed in the Temple of the Messenger of Light.

Lux pulled the reins tightly, drove the spark, and quickly rushed to the temple.

The dome of the Temple of the Messenger of Light on the top of the mountain.

A weathered silver-white building stood quietly like a delicate bird's nest, and the looming pressure filled the air, making the nearby airspace clean and without any birds.

In the biting cold wind, Lux walked along the silver-white steps.

Spark has been arranged in the temple's stable.

The hood of the blue cloak was lifted, and the long golden hair swayed in the wind. Lux tightly grasped the golden cane, crossed the steps, and entered the building.

This is the [Dragon Bird's Nest], where the Demacia dragon birds live.

Lux's arrival quickly attracted the attention of the temple.

"Miss Crown Guard!"

The Demacia Dragon Bird Knight walked quickly, and the silver armor that looked like the wings of the dragon bird reflected the golden brilliance. The dark blue cloak behind him fluttered gently in the cold wind.

"Did something happen at the border of the North?" Lux spoke bluntly.

"The vanguard sentinels found traces of a camp in the mountains, and they suspected that they were ruthless looters from Freljord." The Demacia Dragon Bird Knight replied.

"They may want to loot nearby villages and towns."

"Are there any other discoveries?" Lux's eyes flickered, thinking of the news from the Illuminator, mentioning that Silas appeared in the North.

After thinking for a while, the Demacia Dragonbird Knight shook his head gently and said in a serious tone: "Not yet."

"Yes!" Lux nodded.

"His Majesty Garen is in the Fearless Vanguard Corps outside the Mithril City. You can go and seek his help."

"Okay!"

The Demacia Dragonbird Knight saluted, clenched his fists, crossed his arms in front of his chest, returned to the Dragonbird's Nest, and rode the Demacia Dragonbird to the outside of the city.

After Lux got the news he wanted, he left the Dragonbird's Nest and went deep into the Temple of the Lightbringer.

In the quiet and peaceful temple hall, a candlelit room opened from the inside.

Lux walked in and looked around.

The walls and the floor were covered with silver-white stone, shining and bright, as if reflecting the glow of the moonlight.

It was extremely simple inside, without any extra furniture and decorations.

There was only a simple silver-white bed and a silver-white desk.

The soft bed was covered with white sheets and pillows, giving people a feeling of comfort and tranquility. Some books and stationery were neatly placed on the desk, showing the owner's accomplishment and taste.

"Your Highness."

Sister Danica, who heard the footsteps, stopped what she was doing and stood up to salute.

"Have you got any information I want?"

Lacus sat opposite Sister Danica, her flawless face calm and gentle.

"I'm sorry, Miss Crown Guard, the Illuminator cannot confirm the identity of the demon-tainted person named Huo Jixing." Sister Danica lowered her eyes, her green eyes full of apology.

"But according to your description, Her Highness Kashina asked you to be careful."

"What the devil said may be true, and his power is very likely related to the Star Spirit."

"Star Spirit?"

Lux whispered softly, and couldn't help but recall the scene of fighting with the nightmare demon at that time.

The red-gold flames, as if nothing could be burned, burned and burned the black mist and demonic power.

"Silas's trace appeared in the Northland. Is there any response from Kashina?"

"The situation in the capital is very complicated now, and the Illuminator can't spare any manpower to come." Sister Danica shook her head slightly.

Compared with the Northland and Silver City, the Demacia capital is more important.

And with the guard of the Crown Guard family, even if Silas and his men have the help of allies in Freljord, they will never be able to break through the defense of Silver City.

"But the Demon Seekers seem to have sent people here." Sister Danica mentioned the only good news.

"Okay." Lux heard the words, and her dim eyes lit up.

In the ancient history of the Kingdom of Demacia, the Demon Seekers were an ancient legion that can be traced back to the founding of the kingdom.

After the death of Jarvan III, the Demon Seekers have been given extremely high power.

The current leader of the Demon Seeker Corps is Lord Eldred.

He is the husband of my aunt Tiana Crownguard.

The midday sun was bright and warm, and it fell all over the streets.

Lux left the Lightbringer Temple and walked along the Avenue of Dawn with Starfire.

Along the way, she saw the Demacians put aside their busy lives, enjoying the warmth and brightness of the sun, and taking a rare rest.

Perhaps she noticed something.

Lux led Starfire and walked away from the Avenue of Dawn and into the narrow path.

After walking a hundred meters, she stopped when she saw that there was no one around.

Starfire leaned down and leaned towards Lux intimately, her nose twitching, and her anthropomorphic eyes showed tension.

It smelled a familiar breath and almost snatched the snow-white Poro from its master.

"Ms. Crownguard, it's nice to see you again."

Huo Jixing walked out of the shadow of the path with a smile on his face, saluted Lux, and the snow-white Poro in his arms popped out his head, his eyes curved.

"It's you!"

Lux clenched the golden cane, and a brilliant white light lit up on the top.

In the tomb of Fosian, she would never forget the cold murderous intention this guy had for her.

"Don't be nervous." Huo Jixing took a step back, and his left hand left the hilt, indicating that he was not here to cause trouble.

"I wonder if my reminder is still useful to you and Galen?"

Lux thought about her recent investigation and nodded: "We have successfully investigated some things, and Silas appeared near the North."

Lux did not hesitate and directly stated her investigation results.

Since Huo Jixing could remind her, he must know more things.

"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being Miss Crown Guard."

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised that Lux already knew the news that Silas appeared in the North.

"Want to cooperate?"

Lux was a little tempted, but was more defensive against Huo Jixing's strength.

"I can provide you with some information, but I need rune items to trade." Huo Jixing saw Lux's interest and got straight to the point.

"Rune items." Lux was surprised and puzzled.

As a lady of the Crown Guard, Lux had the support of the Illuminator and had handled many rune items, so she had a keen sense of rune items.

On Huo Jixing, Lux sensed the existence of several rune items.

"I can only provide ordinary rune items." Lux replied. There are many rune items in the Crown Guard family.

"Okay." Huo Jixing nodded, his expression unchanged, keeping his heart calm.

"Trade a piece of information first?"

"What news?" Lux asked back. He came to her on purpose, so there must be something important.

"About Silas."

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered. Lux's performance was unexpected. This noble lady of the Crown Guard was extremely defensive against him.

"I don't have any rune items for the time being." Lux put away the golden cane, indicating that she did not carry other rune items when she went out.

"I need you to go to the Crown Guard Castle with me."

"No, I trust Miss Crown Guard, you can give it to me next time." Huo Jixing said with a smile, refusing to go to the Crown Guard Castle with Lux.

He was afraid of meeting Garen again and causing unnecessary trouble.

"Silas has secretly transferred a lot of forces to the Northland, and there will be actions in the near future." Huo Jixing said, and stepped back, ready to leave the narrow path.

Seeing this, Lux hesitated a little and spoke.

"Be careful, the recent black magic incident has been a hot topic, and the Demacia Xiongdu has sent a magic search investigator here."

Huo Jixing bowed and thanked her, then disappeared from sight.

"Is Silas taking action?"

Lux frowned, and when she thought of the recent events, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

She immediately rode on Starfire and hurried to the Fearless Vanguard Legion camp outside the city.

In the shadow of the street, Huo Jixing's eyes were filled with red-gold light, and when he saw Lux's cloud going out of the city, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.

The increasingly chaotic Kingdom of Demacia is what the Noxus Empire's highest command wants to see.

Of course, getting rid of Lux and Garen is the most direct way.

However, their strength is very strong, and Huo Jixing cannot guarantee that he will succeed.

If he fails, he cannot bear the consequences.

The Kingdom of Demacia seems to prohibit magic, but in the traces of hundreds of years of history, there are traces of the angel of justice Kayle and the fallen angel Morgana.

So before Noxus has recovered its former glory, Huo Jixing feels that it is most important to ensure his own safety.

After all, the deadly threat of Scarlet Reaper Vladimir is still vivid in his mind.

Squeak! Squeak!

Huo Jixing noticed the movement of the snow-white Poro in his arms and gently patted the Poro's head.

This little guy has been a little restless since he saw Lux. It seems that there will be some restrictions on his meals recently.

It must be made clear who is its real master.

In the southeast corner of Misilver City, in front of a quiet hotel.

Huo Jixing just came back and heard some noises coming from the street next door. He looked over curiously.

He saw a huge, dark-skinned, sturdy man who was led by soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia to search the townhouses on the street.

The sturdy man was wearing a fur coat, holding a heavy wooden cane, and wearing a magic-forbidden stone plate with geometric patterns engraved on it on his chest.

"It's the mark of the demon hunter." Dawn appeared beside Huo Jixing at the right time and spoke in a serious voice.

"It seems that the black magic incident caused by Silas has attracted the attention of these hyenas."

Hyena?

Huo Jixing agreed with Dawn's metaphor for the demon hunter.

According to the intelligence information of the Reiser Garrison Corps, the Demacia Kingdom's demon hunter corps will impose almost cruel punishment on all the demon-infected people they find.

Most of them are imprisoned in the darkest dungeons and tortured until they die.

A small number of young children will be exiled to the wild and left to fend for themselves.

"Will they find us?" Huo Jixing asked.

"No, we have already paid the protection fee." Dawn laughed softly, looked at the movements of the demon hunters, and returned to the hotel.

"My lord, this is what you want recently."

Dawn pushed open the room and pointed to a sealed box placed on the wooden table. The surface has been treated to isolate the erosion of magic.

"Thank you for your hard work recently. If you need any expenses, just remember my name." Huo Jixing stroked the sealed box and turned to thank Dawn.

Ever since he was seconded to the Reiser Garrison, he rarely paid attention to money.

Swain and Darius were very nice to him and took good care of him.

After Dawn left, Huo Jixing closed the door.

At the same time, he extended his materialized spirit and scanned the surrounding environment.

Huo Jixing did not open the sealed box until it was safe.

Creak!

The box opened, and there were many very broken rune items inside, with only a few magical lights on.

The only relatively complete rune item was a black bead.

"Demon power?" Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, and he keenly sensed the familiar power.

It was somewhat similar to the nightmare power in the Tomb of Fosian, but the demonic attributes it possessed were completely different.

In the Kingdom of Demacia, magic is synonymous with taboo.

This led to many rune items being regarded as weapons of evil gods and demons in the eyes of the Demacians.

As long as you are willing to collect information, there will always be some relevant information.

Huo Jixing has only been in Misilver City for two days, and he has already bought a lot of information at a high price.

The items in front of him were the result of him asking Dawn to arrange people to go around the surrounding towns.

"Are there too many traces of demons?" Huo Jixing looked carefully at the many broken rune items in the box with a surprised look.

Compared with Freljord and Noxus Empire.

The deeds of demons that Huo Jixing heard and saw in the Kingdom of Demacia were a bit too much.

Huo Jixing put away his thoughts and sank into the data panel.

The talent was still motionless, only Suzaku, alone flashing red gold light.

The number of essences has been filled with demonic power, and it has reached 480 points.

It must be said that the residual power left by the Eternal Nightmare Morten has provided him with great help.

Huo Jixing sometimes couldn't help himself and wanted to use essence to add to the four basic attributes, but he finally held back and waited for the new talent to be unlocked.

[Do you want to decompose the rune item? ]

The familiar cold prompt sounded in his ears, and Huo Jixing looked at the surging dark green data stream, and his consciousness moved.

[Decomposition]

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The air trembled.

The dark green data stream covered all the rune items in the box and melted instantly.

[Congratulations to the host, the decomposition was successful, and the essence*70 was obtained! ]

"Not bad." Huo Jixing looked at the empty box, and he was quite satisfied.

He just scanned the rune items inside, most of which had been through a long time and looked very broken.

Now it's very good to have 70 points of essence.

Wait!

Talent?

Huo Jixing's consciousness moved, and just when he wanted to exit the data panel, his eyes subconsciously fell on the talent.

In an instant, he noticed the change in the talent.

Behind the talent, the familiar + sign appeared again.

"500 essence points?" Huo Jixing took a deep breath.

Such a large amount of essence can improve a lot of physical attributes, but compared to the new talent, the result is obvious.

[Open. Talent! ]
