Chapter 7: Old Locke
The first otherworldly city that Chen Xi saw was not tall or grandiose, but it was full of a strong military atmosphere.
The sandstone towers are adorned with red flags and black axe symbols, marking the belonging.
"Chen Xi, what should you do now?"
After entering the city, he relaxed his vigilance and loosely carried the two iron bottles glowing with gold leaf in his hand, even if someone saw them, they only glanced at them, these things were not valuable, and they were not worth planning at the risk of being discovered by Noxian soldiers.
"I don't know yet, what about you?"
Just knowing what the world he was in was like, Chen Xi didn't plan at all for a while, he asked them rhetorically.
"We're going to sell our stuff, buy some more food, and go home!"
Seth said as he carried the tattered on his back.
"Then I'll follow you first! You know, I'm ...... The Valorans were just brought here by a magical force, and I wanted to find out the news. ”
Chen Xi's identity as an earthling is obviously not popular here, and he easily borrowed the identity of a Valoran.
"Aren't you a Noxian, you can ask for help from the Noxian soldiers, you should ......"
Ryan opened his eyes and said uncertainly, logically speaking, the Noxians would be more noble here, but Noxus, who has always believed in the supremacy of strength, valued strength more.
"Probably...... I'll follow you first!"
After thinking about it for a while, he thought that instead of going to find a Noxian soldier who didn't understand, it would be convenient for him to follow the familiar Ryan and the others.
"Well, then let's go find Old Locke first!"
"Old Locke?"
"There are merchants in our inferior cities, and only he can contact the merchants of the upper cities and sell these things!"
Without looking back, Ryan walked into the depths of the city.
The cool breeze was slight, and across the bustling blocks of the city, Chen Xi and his party walked under the lower bridge, and could only feel the antiquity of the city from the cracks in the bridge piers.
Faintly, Chen Xi heard the sound of the waves.
"Ryan, are you here by the sea?"
Chen Xi asked Lien through the flashing sunlight, there was a strange smell under the bridge, but for Du Xin, a person who had been bathed in foul-smelling plasters and feces, this smell was really nothing.
"The sea, there is it here, on the other side of the sea is Valoran, but the sea is very deep, and the sea is very wide, and there is no end in sight, and there are giant beasts like sandworms, but they are not very friendly. ”
Seth looked up and thought for a moment, answering the question that Ryan didn't know much about, and the conversation ended.
For the next few people did not speak for a long time, and after ten minutes they walked out of the embarrassing sewer system and saw the sunshine that Chen Xi had hated for several days, and by this time they had reached the old neighborhood.
There was a river in front of them, the river was wide and turbulent, Chen Xi knew why they had to get out of the sewer system and move forward, and further on, it was a wide and turbulent river.
Although this is an old neighborhood, the new town is still bustling, full of vendors, and small sheds made of dust-resistant tarpaulin, and this little bit of sand on top of it seems to be inseparable from the sandstorm of the previous days.
Passing through the alternative bustling vendor area, across half a hundred meters, is a stone suspension bridge, the steel cable straightened and pulled into the block, and was tied up by two steel pillars sticking out of the ground.
Looking along the drawbridge to the opposite bank, there is an old harbor, and the lower bank of the river gives ships a good docking area, and purple-skinned people are busy transporting goods onto ships.
Farther away, bungalows were piled up, wooden planks were stacked, and smoke from cooking smoke came out of the various houses and floated into the sky, and a standard refugee area appeared before Du Xin's eyes.
"Let's go! We're going there, it's a good city. ”
Suddenly, Chen Xi found that the disdainful gaze around him, the color of his skin separated the scavengers from ordinary people, and of course, there was a trace of surprise from it, and the target of these surprises was Chen Xi.
Seth had long since endured these stares, and the Noxus takeover at least made them no worse than being bullied in the city, although it did not improve their low self-esteem.
Perhaps it was numbness, but the expressions of the three Seth did not change in the slightest, they crossed the swaying suspension bridge, the sound of the waves of the river took over the noise of the city, and when they crossed the bridge, their ears seemed to have crossed into another world, and the insults, shouts, and quarrels replaced the noise of the street market, and this was the slum of Bergunne!
All this, compared to the prosperity on the other side of the bridge, here is like a place abandoned by civilization, dirty, crowded, damp, only the sun has not abandoned these purple-skinned people, but the sunlight has also changed the smell of the air through that layer, turning into a dark yellow.
In any case, Chen Xi managed to make his way into the slums, where more people saw him as an aristocrat looking for cheap labor, even though the nobleman's feet were wrapped in the same rags as theirs.
"Where's Locke?"
Trembling by the eyes around him, Chen Xi hurriedly asked Seth.
"Not far ahead, he's here to receive most of the valuable things that the scavengers have brought, and then contact the Noxian merchants on those ships to sell them, so his house is right next to the harbor. ”
Seth was about to straighten up a little, pointing in one direction and asking, this is the time to witness the results of their lives!
Soon, through the ruins of the ship, the four of them had reached the end of the harbor, where there was a small room that was clearly different from the others, and a large amount of waste was piled up outside, even the iron bottle that Rien regarded as a treasure was just casually placed in the doorway.
Carrying the heavy package, the four of them slowly approached the small house, and Seth shouted at the top of his throat.
"Locke, I'm back with something!"
I thought that a sturdy old Noxian man would come out of it, but I didn't expect that after the room was opened, it was a purple scavenger on crutches, Chen Xi was a little surprised.
"When Locke was young, he saved a Noxian nobleman in the desert, who was a big merchant, and he asked Locke to collect valuable things here on his behalf. ”
Seeing Chen Xi's doubts, Boya took advantage of Seth and Locke to communicate, tilted his head and said to Chen Xi, not shying away from the fact that the person concerned was still present.
"Put it here!"
Old Locke walked slowly down the stairs and said to the three of Ryan, pointing to the blank space on the ground.
"This, and this, I can give one silver coin, and the rest, a total of three silver coins. ”
Locke casually rummaged through the rags on the ground with his cane, took out a long-necked sticker bottle that Ryan had brought back and a gray stick from his backpack, and said to several people.
