The Glory of Noxus.

At the entrance of Rock Village.

The guarding tribal hunters looked at Huo Jixing, who had come from afar, with vigilant eyes, their spears ready to move.

"Stop, who are you?"

"I am a wanderer, and I came here according to the guidance of a caravan."

Huo Jixing slowly loosened his left hand that was holding the hilt of the sword, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

"What are you doing here?" The tribal hunter's tone was a little more relaxed, but he still continued to ask.

The rock village is very close to the forgotten land of Ecathia, and can be entered by crossing the mountains behind it.

According to the records of the village elders, faced with the temptation of the forbidden land, many ordinary people and extraordinary people could not resist and became fallen.

"I heard from the caravan that monsters escaped from the forbidden land and came here to seek refuge." Huo Jixing said the excuse he had already thought of.

"Escape?"

The tribal hunter frowned and looked at Huo Jixing. He saw that his clothes and the scarf he wore were very consistent with the attire of the Shurimans.

But his face and temperament are obviously different from those of the Shurimans.

Of course, the rock village located in an oasis will not refuse the arrival of such people, which will more or less bring business to the village.

"Remember, don't cause any trouble after entering the village." The tribal hunter warned.

"Otherwise we will just throw you out of the oasis and leave you to fend for yourself."

"I understand." Huo Jixing nodded.

Under the watchful eyes of the tribal hunters, he crossed the thick sand wall and entered the village.

The situation in the village was similar to what Huo Jixing saw outside, and the atmosphere was very good.

As night falls, the lights in the village gradually light up, and the people living here lead a simple and peaceful life.

If the forgotten land of Icathia is ignored, it may gradually develop and become a new city.

Huo Jixing walked slowly on the compacted loess road. Perhaps because they saw that he had just entered the rock village, several teenagers looked at him again and again.

"Sir, do you need a guide?"

A dark-complexioned, somewhat honest young man ran up to Huo Jixing and asked respectfully.

Huo Jixing looked over in the direction of the sound and saw a few people looking at him nervously from behind the honest young man.

"No, I can do it myself."

"Okay, sir, I won't disturb you then." The honest young man bowed and left, running towards his companions.

Huo Jixing didn't care about the incident in front of him. The red-gold light flickered in his pupils, guiding him towards the center of the village.

"Hey, why are you back? Aren't you going to pester him for a tip?"

Just as the honest boy returned, a burly young man came over and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

In his impression, the honest boy understands people's hearts and often receives tips from customers.

"There's something wrong with that guy." The honest young man rubbed his face and put away his smile.

"He smells of blood."

"Smell of blood?" The burly young man touched his chin, as if thinking about something.

"I heard from the caravan members that a caravan from the Marrow Seal Market disappeared for no apparent reason."

"It's very likely that we encountered that group of crazy, bloodthirsty looters."

"Do you suspect he is a spy sent by the bloodthirsty robbers?" The honest young man looked surprised.

Compared to people from other tribes, the people of the Rock Village are not very afraid of the bloodthirsty raiders.

Because they have enough power and capital to deal with the bloodthirsty looters.

Moreover, the market in the village is also a very suitable place to sell stolen goods, and occasionally there will be spies from bloodthirsty robbers coming in.

"It's hard to confirm." The burly young man shook his head, looked at Huo Jixing's back, turned and left.

"You guys just keep an eye on it first. I'll go talk to Elder Feisal."

The remaining teenagers looked at each other and quickly disappeared into the street.

They were very familiar with the village; it was where they had grown up and there were many corners where they could observe people.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know that Huo Jixing was a legendary extraordinary person.

While they were chatting, Huo Jixing had already heard what they were talking about.

"A spy for the bloodthirsty marauders?"

He shrugged his shoulders, ignored the clumsy stares of the boys, and followed the predetermined route to the center of the village, in front of a busy tavern.

The tavern in the rock village was different from what Huo Jixing had imagined. It was decorated with green plants all around and looked peaceful and quiet.

It is somewhat similar to the bar in my previous life.

But when he pushed open the heavy wooden door wrapped in linen, the noise broke his impression.

The pub was brightly lit, and the aroma of food filled the large space, as well as the smell of strong liquor.

Several wooden tables and chairs and bronze chandeliers exude an ancient atmosphere.

Huo Jixing glanced at the crowd and chose a relatively quiet corner to sit down.

He looked around and noticed that many people were looking at him curiously, including the honest boy from before.

At this time, a youthful tribal girl came over with a tray in her hand with several bottles of wine and a few cups on it.

"Sir, what can I order?" The tribal girl smiled, and her eyes were indeed looking at Huo Jixing's clothes and temperament.

"Two bottles of high-concentration liquor and four servings of your village's specialty foods." Huo Jixing placed the order directly and took out the gold thread from his arms and placed it on the tray.

"Guest, if there is so much, can you finish it?" The tribal girl looked at the golden thread, her eyebrows lit up.

"Do not worry."

Huo Jixing chuckled softly, vaguely aware of a wary gaze cast towards him.

He immediately released his spiritual power and extended it over. It was the honest young man he had just met, with a hidden admiration for him.

Of course not to Huo Jixing.

It was towards the tribal girl in front of him.

"Okay, let's make arrangements here."

The tribal girl bowed slightly and skipped away, with an unconcealable joy in the corners of her eyes.

This order from Huo Jixing was the biggest tip she had ever received.

After deducting the liquor and food, at least half of the gold thread would be left.

After a while, the tribal girl brought all the things to Huo Jixing, greeted him and left.

Huo Jixing picked up the wine glass, savoring the aroma of the liquor while listening to the guests' lively conversation.

He noticed the details in the tavern. Most of the guests were men, and they were dressed very simply, obviously from the village.

But there was also a small group of people wearing gorgeous clothes with familiar clothing styles.

"Is it a caravan from Piltover?"

Huo Jixing looked towards the northwest corner, where a group of Piltover caravan guards were drinking.

Then he noticed that there was a middle-aged man in a robe packing something in front of the bar.

This is an extraordinary person.

Judging from his frail body and obscure energy fluctuations, he should be a mage-type extraordinary being.

During occasional conversations, Huo Jixing heard some of the middle-aged man's information, which came from the wizard of Ixtal.

I came to the Rock Village two months ago to discuss matters with the village elders. I usually come to the tavern to sit for a while and pack some food.

Just then, Huo Jixing heard the guests at the next table talking about some strange events that had happened in the village recently.

It seemed that people were disappearing frequently, and the village hunters and some caravan guards went out to look for them, but to no avail.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly and listened carefully to their conversation.
