If you spread out the map of Valoran, Besilico is inconspicuous among the many city-states in the whole of northern Valoran.

But in the eyes of merchants, especially those who traded at sea, whether from Piltover to Ionia, from Noxus to Bilgewater, and from Noxus to Piltover, Besilico was a very important place in the lucrative gold trade routes.

The reason is simple, Besilico, a seemingly unremarkable city, is actually the trading capital of Noxus.

Although Noxian magic is very powerful, and the portal Noxtola is located in all Noxian city-states, large and small, teleportation is not a cheap thing, and every teleportation, even if it is just a page of paper, its consumption is considerable, so large items can only be obediently traded.

Besilico, with its geographical location, abundant products and a deep-water port, has become a Noxian-style trading capital.

"Noxus trade" was a phrase Rhodes had heard a lot since his time in Zaun - except that Rhodes wasn't a merchant, so he might have been a little curious for a moment, but it was just curious.

Now, when Rhodes arrives in Besilico on a humble pirate ship, he finally understands what "Noxian trade" is.

The unruly pirates, who had become as well-behaved as sheep under the threat of a bold move, disembarked and went to the port docks to register in a unified manner, and then received a one-time magical certificate as a proof of identity, which was required for both food and shelter in Besiliko.

Even more exaggerated...... This credential is not free.

Each voucher requires ten gold double-headed eagles - about twelve gold hexes, or one hundred and thirty silver snake coins.

If you don't have money...... It is better to say that those who have no money can obediently get off the ship, and those who do trade can come down.

If there is not even a person's money...... So what are you doing in Besiliko?

It's not a mixed Bilgewater, it's a strong all-you-can-eat Noxus!

On this trip to Noxus, Rod did not bring Jinx with him - this is not because Rod wants to live a two-person world, but because this time Rod has no home power, and many actions need to be concealed, and Jinx ...... A lot of the time it will be a hassle.

Anyway, without Zoe's help, Rod didn't believe that Jinx could still come over.

The babysitter's task was given to Mokai by Rhodes, and Giggs was also called by Rhodes to Fuguang Island, and the three of them should get along very happily...... Right?

Shaking his head, Rhodes stopped thinking about the mess, and he came back to his senses and gave a proper smile to the clerk who had handled his papers.

Facing Rod, the female clerk who had a good figure and looked okay blushed - obviously, although Rhodes was not very handsome, but in this city full of merchants and pirates, his temperament as a master could also be said to be outstanding.

And then...... Rod felt a little pain in his ears.

Embarrassed to take his papers, Rhodes turned and left, leaving behind a young girl who had no choice but to continue facing the stinky pirates.

"The one just now is really handsome, looking at the dress, it should be a mage, right?" Seeing the next pirate smile flatteringly, the Noxian girl covered her nose in disgust, "It's just ...... His big bird is so fierce. ”

On the other hand, Rod, who left the port center, could only explain to Jana without stopping.

"I swear I don't really have anything else in mind - look at her freckles, I'm smiling just because I finally met someone who didn't have bad breath, think of the days we've had on a pirate ship, oh my God, it's hard to put into words." Turning an alley, Rod rubbed his red earlobes, "Black hair - yes, I think black hair is familiar, but that's all, I really just want to get my proof quickly." ”

As he spoke, Rod raised the proof of the magic mark in his hand, and the name on it was ...... Mediven Lothar.

……………………

Elise is a nobleman in Noxus, so she has already arrived in the city first, and Rhodes checks in at the location confirmed by Elise with the certificate she has just completed.

A very nice hotel, clean and convenient, made Rhodes have a strong sense of X-day and X-home, and looking at Cana who has changed back into human form, this sense of immediacy is even stronger.

Unfortunately, Rhodes didn't come for his honeymoon.

After cleaning up himself and Jana again, Rhodes took out a special map from his spatial package.

The map from Sarah, Queen of Doom in Bilgewater, shows known routes, hydrographies, and port specialties throughout the Conquest Sea...... Even partial arming - this is the good thing that Planck left behind.

Rod needed to revise the diagram a bit.

The first is to turn a parchment map into a magic map – you can think of it as making an editable electronic version.

Then there is the modification of the parameters, with the help of Jana, a lot of the travel time can be short, and a lot of monsoons do not need to be taken into account, and the data needs to be reprocessed.

Finally, there's the ability to make navigation – an absolute boon for road idiots.

Soon, a brand new map appeared in front of Rhodes in the form of an arcane projection - this is the reason why Rhodes did not stay in Ulduar for too long, and if Rhodes had stayed in Ulduar with Ronin at that time, I am afraid that he would now be able to make a model of northern Valoran.

And even this magic map is amazing enough.

Elise, who had come to the rendezvous, saw Rod's magic map, and her face ...... It's full of astonishment.

Can you still play like this?!

The strong sci-fi style of the map was understood and brained by Elise into the "Piltover style", combined with Rhodes's background, how to look at it is logical.

"You're here?" Looking at Elise, who was shocked by himself again, Rhodes smiled, "Little spider, tell me about the information you know - there are quite a few conservatives in Noxus in Besilico, where are they in general, and who are their backers?" ”

Still immersed in shock, Elise subconsciously shook out everything she knew, while Rhodes continued to change the map according to Elise's description.

"Conservative stronghold in Downtown? It's unbelievable. ”

"There seem to be quite a few self-exiles here? Good news. ”

"The conservatives have something to do with the lord of the place, Quiletta Vahn, because the lord's son died in Freljord? Well, the love and hate of the upper class—"

"What, Quaretta is Darius's first love - the lord here is a woman?!"

Rod was finally dumbfounded.
