The Glory of Noxus.

Chapter 445 Desert Rose Samira Kiran's Gift

Beljum.

This port city ruled by the Noxian Empire became increasingly prosperous.

The negative impact of nearby raiders and rebels was eliminated, and caravans organized by Azir and Xerath rushed into the port.

The location of the pier has been replanned.

The newly constructed berths are strong and spacious, and can easily accommodate vessels of various sizes.

These ships are like giant beasts on the sea, quietly docked at the dock, waiting for the start of the next voyage.

At this moment, many Shurimans were busy at the dock, some carrying heavy cargo, some skillfully operating steel equipment, stacking boxes of cargo neatly in the cargo hold of the ship.

Among these goods are rare resources from the inland of Shurima, such as precious minerals, spices, and handicrafts.

Although the Noxian Empire gave up most of its inland resources.

However, the utilization of resources through many northern ports brought rich economic benefits to the empire.

This is because the intermediate labor costs and transportation costs are saved, which further increases the profits.

Sea of ​​Conquerors.

On the azure sea, three warships belonging to the Noxian Empire were cutting through the waves like sharp swords and heading quickly towards the port.

Woohoo!

A shrill, sharp whistle suddenly sounded, breaking the bustling scene of the port.

The giant ships near the sea moved to both sides, revealing a wide opening to allow the black warship to enter the port.

Bang!

The steel gangway fell from the battleship and hit the dock, raising a cloud of dust.

At the side of the ship, a dashing woman in armor stood, gazing at Beljuin from afar, memories welling up between her brows.

The woman has long brown wavy hair that falls over her shoulders like a waterfall. Her skin is slightly dark and has a healthy glow.

The sturdy armor cannot hide her tall and sexy figure.

Her legs are straight and long, with smooth lines, showing signs of regular exercise.

Her bare arms are covered with various tattoos, each of which represents her most memorable feat.

The double black guns on her waist, shining with the luster of steel, are her main weapons.

The most eye-catching thing is the golden sword on her back. The blade is broad and sharp, with a red ribbon hanging on the handle, symbolizing the bloody culture of the Noxian Empire.

Unfortunately, the sassy woman's right eye seemed to be damaged, and she was wearing an exquisite black eye mask, which ruined her overall temperament.

Led by the heroic woman, the Noxian soldiers quickly disembarked, wearing sturdy armor and holding sharp weapons, and rushed into the Beljur military camp fully armed.

"It's just a mission, but the changes in Beljuen are quite surprising!"

The dashing woman still kept her own clothes, and there was a woman in a wheelchair following behind her.

They were walking along the streets of Bergen, experiencing the changes in Bergen firsthand.

In her eyes, the status of the once lower-class Shurimans has been significantly improved.

They no longer have the overt hostility and hatred towards the Noxians that they once did.

When she looked at the dock at the port, she was surprised to find that there were quite a few Shuriman caravans, which was rarely seen before.

The dashing woman still remembers the scene when she first entered Beljum.

In Beljur at that time, the Noxians were high above and ruled everything.

For her who came to escape, Noxus opened a door and provided a safe haven.

After most refugees have settled into a peaceful and ordinary life, the brave young woman is determined to regain her courage.

Because her parents were injured, she started performing on the streets.

Street performance is no longer a livelihood job, but a stage for her to put aside her fears.

Her stunts were amazing, she went beyond herself, and she kept working hard even when no one stopped to watch.

But even that wasn't enough to support her family.

By chance, she came across a Noxian warband recruiting soldiers.

The excitement and source of income offered by the military were very attractive to her, and she enlisted.

"A lady cannot survive in Noxus."

The dashing woman thought of herself at that time, chuckled softly, raised her eyes to look at the familiar shop in front of her, and walked over.

This weapons shop looked a bit dirty and grimy, with an old plaque hanging crookedly above the door.

Rani Mier Army Store!

She had heard about this humble Noxian shop from Captain Indari.

Captain Indali heard about this place from the intelligence of an old acquaintance of agents behind enemy lines.

Because the apprentices in this shop also work part-time as tattoo artists, she is quite interested in this place.

Indali followed her.

Squeak!

The door opened, and the dashing woman entered the store. She smelled the scent of molten iron and saw tools that were rarely seen in the Noxian army.

The flames were blazing, and a girl with a sharp, lively voice was welding brass from Zaun. She had two lip studs pierced in her lips.

Her partner is a strong woman as big as an ox, who is cleaning a new Hextech carbine.

As for the other apprentices in the store, they were basically covered with tattoos and were busy helping out.

"Samira, how much money are you going to spend today?" Indari asked as she slightly adjusted the hand wheel rim of the wooden wheelchair.

Her voice revealed the strength of decades of military career, but unfortunately her legs were destroyed in a rebellion war.

For this reason, Indari had to withdraw from the front line and even disbanded the special operations regiment she had formed.

“No matter how much you squander, you’ll never be satisfied.”

Samira looked intently at the display case on the wall, where she saw two attractive pistols.

The top pistol was as black as charcoal, and the other was a streamlined silver revolver.

Both guns appear to feature untested Piltover innovations.

“Do they feel as good as they look?” Samira turned and looked at the strong woman welding.

"Hey, Samira, that's the best quality product in our store!" The welding master looked into Samira's eyes and shouted with a smile.

"The imported materials that Mil and I used were imported from my hometown, and they were very expensive."

Upon hearing this, Samira threw a bag of coins onto the counter. Several gold coins fell out, shining with an alluring glow.

Behind her, Indari crossed her arms over her chest, her brows slightly furrowed.

"This is the full reward for your mission!"

Samira turned around and smiled.

"You taught me that women should choose the equipment that best suits their hands. Besides, the firearms I used last time were not very powerful."

Indali shook her head, feeling somewhat helpless about Samira's reckless character.

"How did you complete this mission?"

"It's very easy for me." Samira smiled confidently.

“Although I am not used to the Ionian weather, executing those who betrayed the empire is not a challenge at all.”

After saying that, Samira reached out and took out two pistols from the display case and started playing with them.

"Nice device, I plan to use it for a while."

"Wow!" Indali pretended to be surprised and exclaimed.

"The famous Desert Rose is actually going to replace her service gun."

"Is your return to Shurima a new mission issued by His Majesty Swain?"

With Indari's support, the Noxian high command accepted Samira, a Shuriman.

He also acknowledged that her ability in high-risk missions was unmatched and granted her the status of Shurima General.

"It's not a new mission. They are preparing for me to take over Katarina's position."

Samira shrugged her shoulders and stated her reason for returning to Beljung.

"You know, I don't like dealing with those warlords and nobles, but this is an appointment personally issued by His Majesty Swain, so I have no choice but to return here."

"Berguin is a transit point. I will leave for Uzeris in the afternoon." "What does His Majesty Swain mean?"

Indali stroked the back of the chair with her fingers and narrowed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

"What about Katrina?"

"She will return to the capital, and it seems she has a new mission."

Indali looked at Samira in front of her, her eyes flickering, and she pondered.

"Has Catalina returned to the capital city because she is worried about the Du Kecao family?"

"But it's unlikely. With Huo Jixing's presence and his close relationship with Katarina, he won't touch Katarina."

Indali is an imperial noble and a warlord noble with real power, who can command her own war group.

If it weren't for his injured legs, he would be active in the upper echelons of the empire now, instead of staying in Bergun.

"Okay, Captain, I won't continue shopping with you."

Samira put away her guns, saluted Indali, and left the weapons shop.

Indali shrugged her shoulders and said quietly to herself, "One day, she will have to learn to take care of herself."

In the corner of the weapon shop, the tattoo artist had already taken off his black magic disguise and walked out from the shadows, revealing a woman's body. Her face was pale and flawless in the light.

"Captain Indari, you must meet all her demands. The Empire needs Samira."

"Also, find out why Swain was transferred away from Katarina!"

"Ok."

Indali bowed her head and said respectfully.

The Black Rose's power in Shurima suffered a severe blow, and she was the only one still able to carry out intelligence gathering missions.

This is due to her identity and the protection brought by Samira's identity.

By the time Indali left the weapon shop, the tattoo artist who was there just now had disappeared.

Then there were screams coming from the backyard, and the burly tattoo master was so tired that he fell to the ground unconscious.

Uzeris, the general's residence.

In the silent bedroom, the turquoise barrier was like a veil, completely isolating the bedroom from the outside world.

Three colors of light flickered within the barrier: red-gold, turquoise, and platinum, intertwining together as if in an eternal cycle.

The air was filled with hazy light, and there was a figure sitting cross-legged in the middle, with a bare upper body, clear muscle lines, and three-color marks engraved on the surface of the skin.

As time goes by, the three-color light gradually dims.

Huo Jixing slowly opened his calm eyes and exhaled lightly, shaking the air and causing ripples.

He stood up, carefully feeling the power flowing through his body, looking up at the stars in the night sky, and whispered softly.

"The growth of attributes is getting slower and slower. Is it about to reach the legendary limit?"

Huo Jixing summoned the data panel, stared at the four basic attributes, and thought to himself.

[Name: Huo Jixing]

【Quality: 320】

【Strength: 48.25】

[Physique: 48.25]

[Agility: 48.25]

【Spirit: 48.25】

[Skills: Conquer the master, look inside yourself, and have photographic memory]

[Talent: Star Spirit·Nanli Suzaku, Star Spirit·Donghua Azure Dragon, Star Spirit·Xiji White Tiger]

"It's almost reaching 50 points, so 50 points is the legendary limit?"

Huo Jixing was very curious, but he was not in a hurry.

At the current rate of attribute growth, the four basic attributes will reach 50 points in about a month.

Or you can open the Xuanwu star map to satisfy your curiosity and know the real answer.

He imagined the moment when he would stand on a completely new level.

"After the legend, is it time to step into the realm of God?"

Huo Jixing looked up at the sky, and Morgana, whom he met in the Kingdom of Demacia, emerged from the depths of his memory.

As well as the Bearded Lady Nagakabouros and the Spider Lord Vicious Maw encountered in Bilgewater.

He opened his arms, and many stars descended from the sky and merged into his body.

Each ray of starlight is transformed into different star spirit energies in the body, slowly improving its attributes.

The night wind blows and the stars twinkle.

Huo Jixing's figure appeared taller and more mysterious in the starlight.

Squeak!

The bedroom door opened, and the starlight disappeared.

Catalina walked in, looked at Huo Jixing standing in front of the window, and curiously moved closer and asked softly.

"What are you doing?"

"Look at the night view."

Huo Jixing turned around calmly and looked at Catalina, who had become more charming like a young woman, with admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Night view? What's there to see?"

Catalina hugged Huo Jixing from behind, stuck her head out, looked at the empty courtyard, and frowned in confusion.

“You can see the existence in the darkness.”

Huo Jixing's voice was gentle, telling a secret that only he could perceive.

Then he stretched out his hands, clasped Catalina's arms, pressed their bodies closely together, and felt the resonance of each other's heartbeats.

After a while, the window closed automatically.

The atmosphere in the bedroom became more intimate, and the replaced bed board swayed.

Catalina was wearing a black gauze dress, and the charm she revealed in her every move was very attractive.

Although the two have been through many ups and downs together.

But the joy of love, when emotions are surging, always seems particularly precious and not satisfying enough.

After the clouds and rain stopped, everything returned to calm.

Huo Jixing looked down at the face with rising red clouds and the endless mountains. His throat moved slightly and he gently held Katarina in his arms.

Catalina seemed a little shy. She curled up her body, her eyes flickering, as if she was a shy star in the night sky, hiding behind her eyelashes.

Huo Jixing did not continue to make trouble, but just hugged Katarina tightly.

With his physical fitness.

Even though Catalina was a powerful extraordinary hero, she couldn't bear it. After several storms, she looked a little weak and immersed in his arms.

After Catalina fell asleep, Huo Jixing gently reached out his arm and took out a strange bottle from under the pillow.

From the appearance, the bottle seems to be made of colored glass, which is transparent with a faint colorful luster, just like dewdrops in the morning light or stars under the night sky.

But when Huo Jixing's fingertips ran across the bottle, he could feel that the bottle was very soft.

As it swayed, invisible ripples appeared inside, as if there was some invisible power being stored.

"The power of time?"

Huo Jixing played with the bottle in his hand, looked at the ripples, and thought secretly.

This is when the apprentice Casilli left and handed it to himself, saying it was a gift from his mentor.

【Time in a bottle】!
"Kiran's gift is the only thing that can transcend thousands of years. It is the power of time."

Huo Jixing put away the bottle, thinking about the future battle mentioned by Casilli.

Once some doors are opened, you can never go back to the past and can only face it.

For example, the Gate of the Void!
