Chapter 132: Locklund Reiser's Secret Guard Station
Buzz! Buzz!
The rippling air vortex rang with a trembling sound.
It passed through the dark gray towering building and gently spread to the sky, leaving a white trace, and then the surging rune magic energy gradually stabilized.
When Huo Jixing came back to his senses again, he had already stepped into the mountains.
In front of him was a fertile plain with a temperature no longer cold, but with a little fishy smell.
Looking from afar, at the farthest point of vision, there was a seaside city standing, like a bright pearl, inlaid between the blue sea and the sky.
Rocklund!
A coastal city in the south of the Noxus Empire.
Between it and the capital of Noxus, there is the endless Valzhu Mountains, which is also the foothold of this secret mission.
Huo Jixing followed the crowd and walked out of [Noxtora].
When he stepped along the wide road, he saw many carriages waiting on the roadside.
The drivers were ordinary people wearing gray linen. They skillfully solicited customers and reported where they were going.
Then Huo Jixing found a carriage to Rocklund, paid the fare and got on the carriage.
He was lucky. Not long after he got on the carriage, the driver recruited the last two guests and then drove the carriage to Rocklund.
Creak! Creak!
The road was flat and smooth, but the carriage was very old.
The wooden body was polished over the years and was not very strong and a little bumpy.
The cloth awning on the top swayed gently in the breeze, and the plain scenery on both sides could be seen.
In front of the carriage were two Noxian warm-blooded horses, which were a bit old.
The sound of the carriage moving was very rhythmic, the sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground, and the sound of the wheels rolling.
Huo Jixing sat on the bed covered with cotton and linen, and there were many smells in his nose.
He looked at the Noxians in the carriage. Most of them were well dressed and looked very good.
However, the clothing styles were different, as if they were from different regions of the Noxus Empire.
Huo Jixing immediately figured it out. After all, those who can use Noxtora must have certain forces behind them.
The carriage swayed until noon and arrived at Rocklund.
There were no accidents along the way, and it was very peaceful.
Huo Jixing got off the carriage and looked at the seaside city of Rocklund in front of him.
It can't be compared with the capital of Noxus, but it feels relaxed and freer than the cities on the border of the North.
There was also a fishy sea breeze blowing across the face.
Entering Rocklund, shops and taverns 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 toured this seaside city.
After wandering around, he came to 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 with glazed doors and windows, and copper bells made melodious sounds in the wind.
"Tsk, life here seems good." 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 while, a young man dressed as a businessman came over with a smile on his face and stretched out his right hand under the guidance of his entourage.
"Max, the person in charge of the secret office."
"Xing, I am here to carry out a secret mission under the order of the commander." Huo Jixing stretched out his hand and shook it. Under the leadership of Max, he entered the backyard.
In the passage between the front and back yards, various flowers, plants and trees were planted.
In front of the backyard door, there are also many potted plants and decorations, making the whole yard more exquisite and lively.
The Zeman Chamber of Commerce is not only a well-run chamber of commerce.
It is also the secret office guarded by Reiser.
Max closed the door, sat down in the main seat, clapped his hands gently, and a layer of hazy rune light appeared on the surrounding walls, isolating the inside and the outside.
"If you need anything, you can ask at any time, and we will try our best to meet it."
"Not for the time being, I'm just borrowing for a few days." Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes flickering.
Max in front of him had a heroic face, thick and neat eyebrows, and bright eyes, as if flashing with wisdom and enthusiasm, which was uniquely charming.
But for some reason, he always had some strange feelings in his heart.
"Haha, then I will do my best to be a good host and treat you well." Max laughed softly, and then he seemed to think of something and patted his forehead.
"Look, I forgot to ask, have you eaten 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 specialty seafood."
The Zeman Chamber of Commerce is located in the prosperous urban area of Rocklund, near the sea.
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 sailboats are parked on the blue sea.
The hull of each sailboat is made of high-quality wood, and the surface has become smooth and bright after being washed by the sea water.
The side of the ship is 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, with relatively large style differences.
Some are barbaric, some ships are painted bright brown from bow to stern, and some are gray, pale or black.
But compared to the silent crimson fleet in the distance, they are like quiet rabbits.
On the outside of 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.
