Noxus Glory

Chapter 27 Noxus Calendar

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Huo Jixing stood up and nodded to Amoline.

Then, with mixed feelings, he walked toward the wooden steps close to the wall.

Tap tap! Tap tap!

The sturdy wooden steps are made of solid wood, with handrails on both sides, and are coated with some unknown pigment, making them smooth and not rough to the touch.

Huo Jixing walked up the wooden steps, one step at a time, to the second floor.

The decor on the second floor was much the same as the living room. Apart from the bedrooms on the front and left, there was a closed room on his right with a dim yellow light on.

"Gregory!" Hojixing chewed on the name.

This was an old friend introduced by the Legion advisor Wilson, but in his past life memories, he seemed to have no influence.

However, the fact that it was highlighted by the Legion Advisor must mean it has something special about it.

As Huo Jixing pondered, he walked to the front of the study. Before he could knock, a gentle voice sounded in his ear.

"Come in!"

Squeak!

Huo Jixing pushed open the door, and what came into view was a simple and quiet study.

The study is not large in size. There is a carpet in the middle and a wooden bookshelf on each side wall, which is piled full of books. The smell of paper and ink fills the room.

The south-facing window was open, and the glow of the setting sun and the light from the study intertwined, creating a somewhat fantastical and hazy atmosphere.

With a slight shift of his gaze, Huo Jixing spotted an elegant figure behind a dark wooden desk.

Gregory raised his angular, handsome face, his brown hair disheveled over his forehead, and his deep eyes scrutinized Huo Jixing, who was standing at the door of the study.

"Gregory, a sorcerer who enjoys studying the supernatural and ancient history."

Pointing to the chair in front of the desk, Gregory first introduced himself, then took the letter from Hojixing's hand, placed it on his right, and began to speak.

"Wilson mentioned you to me, Hojira, a Noxian rookie with exceptional talent who awakened in the wild!"

"You flatter me, Your Excellency Wilson!" Huo Jixing bowed modestly, thinking to himself.

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

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

In a bloody, barbaric, and war-torn environment, most Noxians are warlike, passionate, and arrogant.

"I know why you've come. Let me tell you in advance that fire-related supernatural knowledge is indeed one of the supernatural directions I'm researching, but it's still in the research stage, and I may need your assistance later."

"Yes, you can!" Huo Jixing replied solemnly.

All he sought was to gain knowledge of the extraordinary aspects of Valoran in order to conceal the existence of his own data panel.

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

Upon receiving Hojixing's reply, Gregory nodded in satisfaction, a glint of light appearing in his deep eyes before disappearing.

He glanced at the darkening sky outside the window and stood up to invite, "You must be tired from the journey. It's almost dinner time, let's go downstairs first."

As Gregory walked out of the study, he said softly, "Yesterday, some villagers hunted a snow hare in the surrounding snow forest, and there's still some rabbit meat left. You can try Amoreen's exceptional cooking."

Bright candlelight illuminated the restaurant on the first floor.

Amoryn seemed to have known they would come down, and was putting on a white apron and setting the food on the table.

At the very center is a plate of steaming, sliced, delicious rabbit meat, surrounded by vegetables and bread, and a colorful salad soup.

Perhaps to take care of the newcomer Hojixing, the Gregory couple frequently started conversations and told interesting stories.

Huo Jixing finished his dinner amidst friendly and cheerful conversation.

Then I returned to the fireplace, listened to the sounds of washing in the dining room, and waited quietly.

After a short while, like drinking a cup of tea.

Gregory helped Amoline out of the restaurant. The two first glanced apologetically at Hoji Star, and then Gregory helped Amoline up to the bedroom on the second floor.

Inside the scorching fireplace, the rising flames flickered and made a soft sound.

"I'm sorry, Amoline has been a bit sleepy lately, so I need to take extra care of her."

Gregory came down from the second floor, carrying a heavy, dark red wooden box. He walked quietly to Hojixing, looking apologetic.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you!" Huo Jixing hurriedly stood up, waved his hand and said, his eyes falling on the deep red wooden box, which shone brightly.

"Come on, let's go see your room first!" Gregory walked ahead, guiding Hoji Star.

To the right of the fireplace, in the southeast area of ​​the cabin.

Gregory, dressed in a grey robe, stood in front of the door, pointed to the clean and tidy room, and said, "This is where you've been staying lately."

The room was neither too big nor too small, with a south-facing window through which a hazy starlight fell to the ground.

The four walls are smooth and show signs of recent cleaning. In addition, some boxes are placed in the corner, which suggests that this room was probably a storage room before.

But after careful renovation, it became Huo Jixing's residence during this period.

"It's a very nice place, much better than where I stayed at the camp," Huo Jixing said jokingly, looking around at the room's decor.

"Ha ha!"

Gregory laughed in agreement; as Wilson's old friend, he was well aware of life in the Noxian camp.

Then, seeing Huo Jixing's increasingly intense gaze, he understood the implication and immediately placed the deep red wooden box in his hand on the wooden table covered with velvet.

"Before teaching extraordinary knowledge, you need to understand the continent of Valoran we inhabit."

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

Meeting Hojixing's gaze, Gregory remained calm as he began to speak while opening the deep red wooden box.

The wooden box was opened, revealing a red silk cloth covering its surface.

In the center, there is an old book with a black cover, neatly arranged in a square. From the slightly curled corners, it can be seen that this book has been read countless times.

Chronicles of Runeterra!

Huo Jixing's heart stirred as he saw the book's title on the black cover.

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

It features gold patterns meticulously engraved along the edge of the cover, encircling the central crimson double-edged axe, representing the Noxian Empire.

He noticed a line of small print below the book's title, "Chronicles of Runeterra," written in red with a gold border—

Noxus Calendar!

Huo Jixing's eyes brightened, and he asked softly, "Noxus Calendar, does it represent the Noxian Empire?"

In his spiritual perception, the book in his hand, apart from being luxurious and ancient, was quite ordinary and did not exhibit any extraordinary power.

Only a rich historical atmosphere can truly touch one's heart.

He gently opened the cover, and a delicate, yellowed page came into view, covered with tadpole-like characters.
