The Glory of Noxus

Buzz! Buzz!

The rippling air swirled and trembled.

Through the towering dark gray building, it was gently transmitted to the sky, leaving white traces, and then the surging rune magic energy gradually became stable.

When Huo Jixing came to his senses again, he had already set foot on the mountain.

In front of us is a fertile plain with thousands of miles of fertile land. The air is no longer cold and has a slight fishy smell.

Looking from a distance, at the farthest end of the field of vision, there is a seaside city standing like a bright pearl embedded in the blue sea and sky.

Rocklund!

A coastal city in the southern part of the Noxian Empire.

Between it and the capital of Noxus, the endless Valzhu Mountains were the starting point of this secret mission.

Huo Jixing followed the crowd and walked out of [Knoxtra].

As he set foot along the wide road, he saw many carriages waiting on the roadside.

The coachmen were ordinary people dressed in gray linen. They skillfully solicited customers and announced where they were going.

Then Huo Jixing found a carriage going to Rocklund and paid to get on the carriage.

With good luck, not long after he got on the carriage, the coachman recruited the last two guests, and then drove the carriage to Rocklund.

Crunch!Crunch!

The road is smooth and smooth, but the carriage is very old.

The wooden body has been polished over the years and is not very strong and has some bumps.

The cloth tent on the top is swaying gently in the breeze, and you can see the plain scenery on both sides.

In front of the carriage are two Noxian warmblood horses, which are quite old.

The sound of the carriage moving is very rhythmic, the sound of the horses' hooves colliding with the ground and the rolling sound of the wheels.

Huo Jixing sat on the bed covered with cotton and linen, with a lot of smell filling his nose.

He looked at the Noxians in the carriage. Most of them were well-dressed and looked good.

However, the clothing styles are different, as if they come from different regions within the Noxus Empire.

Huo Jixing immediately wanted to understand that after all, those who could use Noxtora themselves or had certain forces behind them.

Staggering, the carriage arrived at Rocklund at noon.

There were no accidents along the way, it was very peaceful.

Huo Jixing got out of the carriage and looked at the seaside city of Rocklund in front of him.

It can't be compared to the capital of Noxus, but compared to the cities on the northern border, it feels relaxed and free.

There was also the fishy sea breeze coming towards me, blowing across my face.

Entering Rocklund, shops and pubs can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, allowing people to taste different fresh seafood and delicacies from all over the world.

Huo Jixing looked curious and started touring this seaside city.

After wandering around for a while, he arrived at his destination based on the intelligence information in his memory——

Zeman Chamber of Commerce!

Huo Jixing looked at the building in front of him. The front and back yards were transparent. The main house was a three-story building decorated with glazed doors and windows, and copper bells made melodious sounds in the wind.

"Tsk, life seems good here." He sighed softly.

Then he entered the front yard of the Zeman Chamber of Commerce and showed the token given by Swain.

After waiting for a moment, a young man dressed as a businessman came over with a smile on his face and extended his right hand under the guidance of his entourage.

"Max, the person in charge of the secret place."

"Xing, under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, we are carrying out a secret mission." Huo Jixing reached out and shook his hand, then entered the backyard under the leadership of Max.

A variety of flowers, plants and trees are planted along the passage between the front yard and the backyard.

In front of the backyard, there are also many potted plants and decorations placed, making the entire yard more refined and lively.

The Zeman Chamber of Commerce is more than just a well-run chamber of commerce.

It is also the secret place of Leiser's defense.

Max closed the door, sat down at the main seat, and clapped his hands gently. A layer of hazy runic brilliance appeared on the surrounding walls, isolating the inside and outside.

"If you need anything, you can always ask, and we'll try our best to accommodate you here."

"No need for the time being, I'm just staying for a few days." Huo Jixing raised his brows slightly, his eyes twinkling.

The Max in front of him had a heroic face, thick and neat eyebrows, and bright eyes, which seemed to be shining with wisdom and enthusiasm, making him uniquely charming.

But I don't know why, he always has some strange feelings in his heart.

"Haha, then I will do my best to entertain you as a landlord." Max chuckled softly, then seemed to think of something and patted his forehead.

"Look, I forgot to ask, have you had lunch?"

"not yet."

Seeing Huo Jixing shaking his head, he immediately stood up and ordered his entourage in the front yard.

"Let's go upstairs and wait. I'll have someone prepare some local seafood specialties."

The Zeman Chamber of Commerce is located in the bustling urban area of ​​Löklund, close to the seaside.

From the restaurant on the third floor, you can see the sparkling sea and the extremely busy port not far away.

As far as the eye can see, large sailing ships are parked on the blue sea.

The hull of each sailboat is made of high-quality wood. After being washed by sea water, the surface has become smooth and bright.

The ship's sides are inlaid with exquisite reliefs and patterns, showing that they belong to different chambers of commerce.

Moreover, the shape and color of each sailboat are also different, and there are relatively large differences in style.

Some are barbaric in style, some are painted bright brown from stem to stern, and some are gray, pale or black.

But compared to the silent crimson fleet in the distance, they are like quiet rabbits.

Outside the port, there were eight Noxian warships that looked like giant sea snakes. In addition to the imperial flags fluttering in the wind, there were also khaki-colored spear flags hanging on the ships.

"It's the garrison battle group on the Shurima continent." Max followed Huo Jixing's gaze and introduced.

"The battle on the Lokronde Plains has fallen into a state of anxiety."

"As a last resort, we have to request assistance from the Shurima battle group in the northwest."

Huo Jixing's eyes moved, avoiding the topic, and landed on the different giant ships of the chamber of commerce: "Are these?"

"Many of them are chambers of commerce affiliated with the imperial nobility, but there are also those from other places." Max put down the knife and fork in his hand and whispered.

"For example, the ship flying the blue flag is from the Frostport Chamber of Commerce in Freljord. It trades grain and carrots once a month."

"And the ship with a brown hull is Piltover's Chamber of Commerce, which trades some spices and glass items all year round."

Max looked deeply outside the field, raised his arm, and pointed to the port.

"Every year, many chambers of commerce from all over the continent come here to purchase or trade items, which makes Rocklund prosperous."

Huo Jixing's heart rippled, and he lowered his head to taste the delicious seafood in front of him.

He suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he had left the supernatural world and was in the medieval era.

Freljord, Piltover, Shurima, Noxus Empire.

Many chambers of commerce from different forces on the continent of Valoran gathered at the seaside port of Rocklund to conduct trading activities.

"I came here earlier, and I was a little uncomfortable." Max seemed to understand Huo Jixing's inner thoughts.

“But after getting used to it, I think it’s pretty good.”

"At least the port has brought prosperity to Rocklund, and it has also brought huge trade taxes to the empire."

Max took out a bag of coins from his arms and placed it on the dining table: "In your free time, you can go out for a walk."

"Life here is exactly the same as in the Noxus capital. There are big differences."

"Thank you!" Huo Jixing was not polite, picked up the money bag and put it in his arms.

Immediately afterwards, after talking to Max for a while, he turned around and left the Reiser Guard Secret House.

"Sir, do we need to arrange for someone to follow?"

At the door of the front yard, watching Huo Jixing's leaving figure, the entourage who had always remained silent suddenly spoke.

Max ignored it and closed his eyes gently.

He began to recall many details of his chat with Huo Jixing.

After a while, Max opened his eyes and said quietly: "No, he will come back."

On the other side, in a dark corner of the street not far from the Zeman Chamber of Commerce.

Huo Jixing's eyes were filled with red-golden light. He looked at the front yard of the Chamber of Commerce where people were coming and going. After seeing that the marked cloud remained in place, he turned and left.
