The Glory of Noxus

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Huo Jixing stood up and nodded to Amorin.

Then, with an inexplicable mood, he walked towards the wooden stairs close to the wall.

Tap! Ta-ta!

The sturdy wooden stairs are made of solid wood, with handrails on the left and right sides, painted with some unknown paint, smooth and not piercing.

Huo Jixing walked up the wooden stairs, step by step, to the second floor.

The decoration style of the second floor is similar to that of the living room. Except for the bedrooms in front and on the left, there is a closed door on his right hand side with a dim light.

"Gregory!" Huo Jixing chewed the name.

This is an old friend introduced by the Legion Consultant Wilson, but in his previous life memory, it seems to have no effect.

But being introduced by the Legion Consultant must be unique.

While thinking, Huo Jixing walked to the study, and before knocking on the door, a gentle voice sounded in his ears.

"Come in!"

Squeak!

Huo Jixing pushed open the door, and a quaint and quiet study came into view.

The study room doesn't occupy a large area. There is a carpet in the middle. There is a wooden bookshelf on each wall, which is full of books. The fragrance of paper and ink shrouds the room.

The south window is open, and the evening glow and the lights in the study are intertwined, which is somewhat magical and hazy.

Moving his eyes slightly, Huo Jixing saw an elegant figure behind the dark wooden desk.

Gregory raised his angular handsome face, his brown hair scattered in front of his forehead, and his deep eyes looked at Huo Jixing standing at the door of the study room.

"Gregory, a warlock who likes to study the extraordinary and ancient history."

Pointing to the chair in front of the desk, Gregory first introduced himself, then took the letter from Huo Jixing's hand, put it on the right, and spoke.

"Wilson mentioned you to me, Huo Jixing, a Noxus newcomer who awakened in the wild and has outstanding talents!"

"It is Sir Wilson who praised you!" Huo Jixing bowed modestly, thinking to himself.

I didn't expect Wilson to have such a high opinion of me, which was somewhat unexpected.

"Haha, there are few humble people like you in Noxus." Gregory said with a chuckle.

In the bloody and barbaric environment of war, most Noxians are warlike, proud and complacent.

"I know why you are here. Let me tell you in advance that the extraordinary knowledge of fire is indeed one of the extraordinary directions I am studying, but it is still under research. I may need your assistance in the future."

"Okay!" Huo Jixing replied solemnly.

All he wanted was to understand the extraordinary knowledge of the Valoran continent to cover up the existence of his own data panel.

As for the extraordinary knowledge of fire, it was just one of the incidental purposes of this visit.

After getting Huo Jixing's answer, Gregory nodded with satisfaction, and a light appeared in his deep eyes, and then disappeared.

Looking at the darkening sky outside the window, he stood up and invited: "You are a little tired after all this journey. It's almost dinner time. Let's go downstairs first."

Gregory walked out of the study and whispered: "Yesterday, a villager hunted a snow rabbit from the surrounding snow forest. There happened to be some rabbit meat left. You can try Amorin's extraordinary craftsmanship."

In the restaurant on the first floor, bright candlelight lit up.

Amorin seemed to have known that they would come down. She was wearing a white apron and putting food on the table.

In the center was a plate of steaming, delicious cut rabbit meat, surrounded by vegetables and bread, and a colorful salad soup.

Perhaps to take care of Huo Jixing, who had just arrived, Gregory and his wife frequently brought up topics and told some interesting stories.

Amid the cordial and cheerful conversation, Huo Jixing finished his dinner.

Then he returned to the fireplace, listened to the sound of washing in the restaurant, and waited quietly.

After a cup of tea,

Gregory helped Amorin out of the restaurant. The two looked at Huo Jixing apologetically, and then Gregory helped Amorin walk to the bedroom on the second floor.

In the hot fireplace, the rising flames swayed and made a subtle sound.

"Sorry, Amorin has been a little sleepy recently, and I need to take care of her more, so."

Gregory came down from the second floor, holding a heavy crimson wooden box in his hand, and walked gently to Huo Jixing with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry for bothering you!" Huo Jixing got up hurriedly and waved his hand, his eyes fell on the crimson wooden box, shining brightly.

"Let's go and see your room first!" Gregory walked in front and guided Huo Jixing.

To the right of the fireplace, the southeast area of ​​the wooden house

Gregory, wearing a gray robe, stood in front of the door, pointed to the clean and tidy room, and said, "This is where you have lived recently."

The room is neither big nor small, the window faces south, and there is hazy starlight falling to the ground.

The four flat walls showed traces of recent cleaning, and with some boxes placed in the corners, it was vaguely seen that this house should have been a utility room before.

But after careful tidying up, it became the place where Huo Jixing lived during this period.

"A very nice place, much better than my place in the camp." Huo Jixing looked at the decoration of the room and joked.

"Haha!"

Gregory laughed along. As an old friend of Wilson, he certainly knew the life in the Noxus camp.

Then he saw Huo Jixing's increasingly scorching eyes, and he immediately placed the crimson wooden box in his hand on the wooden table covered with velvet.

"Before teaching extraordinary knowledge, you need to first understand the Valoran continent we live in."

"What kind of strange, magnificent and colorful world is it?"

Facing Huo Jixing's gaze, Gregory was calm and spoke while opening the crimson wooden box.

The wooden box was opened, and the red silk cloth covered the box.

In the center, an ancient book bound with a black cover was placed squarely. From the slightly curled corners of the book, it can be seen that the book has been read countless times.

"Rune Land Chronicles"!

Huo Jixing's heart moved when he saw the name of the book on the black cover.

Then he slowly stretched out his right hand and stroked the heavy book.

There are golden patterns, carefully engraved along the edge of the cover, and surrounding the center, representing the crimson double-edged axe of the Noxus Empire.

He saw a line of small characters below the name of the book "Rune Land Chronicles", written in red letters with gold edges-

[Noxus Calendar]!

Huo Jixing's eyes gradually brightened, and he whispered: "Noxus. Calendar, does it represent the Noxus Empire?"

In his spiritual perception, the book in his hand, apart from being luxurious and simple, was very ordinary, without any extraordinary power reaction.

Only the strong historical atmosphere was refreshing.

He gently opened the cover, and a delicate yellowed page came into view, with tadpole-like words written on it.
