Chapter 169 Zindaro’s Miniature Rune Land
Boom!
With the sound of the waves resounding in the sky.
The towering and majestic sea gate gate slowly opened, and a surging force pushed seawater into the lock chamber.
The waiting ships took action and slowly entered the lock chamber.
During this process, the ships need to maintain precise distances and speeds. Under the command of the sea lock room and the control of the crew, they dare not enter the lock room without any slack.
“The Gate of the Sun!”
Huo Jixing had already arrived on the deck, looking at the almost modern building in front of him with a dazed expression.
In the memory of the past life, these sea gates, which are like ocean walls, are called [Gates of the Sun].
The name honors Shurima's heritage.
At the same time, the existence of the Sun Gate quickly made Piltover a trade center between Valoran and Shurima, bringing unimaginable wealth to the rulers of the city.
It also made Piltover quickly become the cultural center of Valoran, where art, craftsmanship, trade and innovation went hand in hand.
Huo Jixing suppressed his inner emotions, his eyes moved, and he looked at the surrounding buildings.
On both sides of the sea gate, you can see towers with gold and silver textures stretching towards the sky, and arched bridges spanning the tops of the cliffs on both sides of the rift valley.
Amidst the sound of waves, the blue and white ship entered the lock chamber.
In the lock chamber, ships lined up in a long queue, waiting to pass.
Viewed from the sky, the huge sea lock seems to have turned into a city square, and the ships are like vehicles and pedestrians waiting to pass in the square.
Although this process is a bit long, the crew members are very patient.
Because they know this is part of the voyage and the only way to reach the destination.
When the sea lock gate slowly opened again, the ships sailed out of the lock chamber one by one and headed towards their destination.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dull bell rang, and the blue and white ship began to sail to the port of Piltover according to the established plan.
Huo Jixing stood on the deck, unable to conceal his surprise.
The new architecture of Piltover appears in the field of vision, a dignified and elegant blend of smooth marble, bronze grids and shiny glass.
It really made him feel like he was dreaming back to his previous life.
Under the new buildings, there are old buildings scattered next to each other, built with structures of rough stones and old wood.
Even so, it is much more exquisite than the solemn and towering buildings of the Noxus Empire.
It's like going from a medieval town to a modern city. The differences are very serious.
Not only Huo Jixing, there were also many people on the ships in Ningshuang Port who came to Piltover for the first time.
The modern buildings in front of them brought them great shock and amazement.
Their expressions were full of awe, surprise, curiosity and excitement, as if they had witnessed a scene that was completely different from what they knew.
While Huo Jixing was sighing, he saw that Kalida had already packed her bags and got off the boat with the baby boy.
After staying for a while, he chose to mix with the crew of Ningshuang Port and enter the port.
Before disembarking, Huo Jixing was reminded that the ship would leave the next afternoon without waiting for anyone.
Tell him to come back on time and not to miss the time.
The busy port area has a constant flow of people.
In the port's cargo yards, docks and many docked ship ramps, you can see busy hard workers.
They skillfully operate various loading and unloading equipment, loading or unloading goods one by one.
Their movements are quick and accurate, and every operation appears very professional.
Although most of the hard workers wear shabby clothes and are covered with sweat and dust, the life here is obviously more modern than that in Blood Cliff Port.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A sharp warning bell rang in my ears.
Huo Jixing followed the crew and stopped at a crossroads.
While looking around, he saw a railway paved with steel appearing in front of him, running through the canyon.
After waiting for a while, the ground slowly began to tremble, as if a huge steel thing was approaching from a distance.
"Cable car?"
Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed and he looked at the old cable car that appeared in his field of vision.
Although he already had a high opinion of Piltover's technological level, the appearance of the cable car once again broke his inner limit.
"Cantex Tower Cable Car." The crew member beside him saw Huo Jixing's surprise and said with a smile.
“Piltover’s port terminal can be said to be the busiest in Valoran, with ships coming in and out from all over the world every day.”
"In order to handle the cargo of the ship, the Cantex Tower cable car was born." After several people waited for the cable car to pass, they continued to move towards Piltover.
However, when entering Piltover, they encountered a routine inspection by Piltover guards.
The Piltover Guard are responsible for law enforcement in Piltover.
Although the crew followed the ship to Piltover, disputes often arose.
Huo Jixing looked curiously at the costumes of the Pi City guards.
The guards are equipped with uniforms and equipment, as well as standard hex technology.
I once saw the Chamber of Commerce guards at the Knoxkalia Arena. Their equipment was obviously much more advanced.
With the proof of the Ningshuang Port ship and the guarantee of the crew, Huo Jixing could easily enter the urban area.
But before going in, he looked at the corner of the street. A blond man wearing a blue uniform and gold-rimmed glasses was smiling at him and waving.
"Are you aware of your status as a transcendent?" Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows lightly.
Just now he instinctively realized that someone was spying on him, and then he followed his gaze and saw the other person.
"It's Detective Piltover." The crew member beside him said.
“As long as we don’t cause trouble and don’t break Piltover’s laws, there’s nothing they can do to us.”
The duties of Piltover detectives are different from those of Piltover guards; Most of them are catching criminals.
Apart from Zaun, the port terminal is the best way for all criminals to escape Piltover.
Huo Jixing set foot in the urban area of Piltover for the first time after leaving the port terminal.
It must be said that Piltover is worthy of being called the trading center of the Valoran continent.
This city is extremely bustling and lively, with a constant flow of people. It is like a huge magnetic field, attracting people from all directions.
The street is flat and wide, with shops lined up on both sides.
There are all kinds of shops, restaurants, cafes, etc., which is dizzying.
People on the street wear fashionable clothes and have more or less technological products in their hands, which makes people feel the development of technology and the progress of society.
"Is technology creating a prosperous economy? Or is the economy promoting the development of science and technology?"
A question suddenly flashed in Huo Jixing's mind.
Then he shook his head slightly and threw this irrelevant question behind him.
Huo Jixing and the crew members talked and laughed and separated.
But before we separated, a crew member kindly reminded us not to mess with the guys with badges.
They were born from Piltover's merchant family and are the order makers of the city.
After thanking Huo Jixing, he walked on the streets of Piltover.
Mrs. Piltover, who was walking back and forth, seemed to prefer clothes with strong colors. The fabrics she wore for daily wear were exquisitely cut, and the paint colors were extremely bright.
Then Huo Jixing saw many couples walking on the street.
Both the husband and the wife are fully equipped and decorated with various small and exquisite mechanical prosthetics.
A woman has an implanted jaw plate on her face and a gem-shaped monocle. Her arm holds a man wearing metal gloves, the planes of the grid reflecting bright light.
Across the street, a hunchbacked man wearing a coveralls had a respirator on his back. The liquid pool was filled with bubbling green liquid, and atomized steam curled up.
Huo Jixing followed the crowd and finally came to an extremely wide square.
I saw a metal grid ball that looked like a handicraft, standing in the center of the square, surrounded by people.
Among this group of people are young people who aspire to be inventors, as well as accomplished art craftsmen. They are discussing the metal grid ball in front of them, which is a work of art.
Listening to the words of the crowd, Huo Jixing knew the name of the metal grid ball -
Zindaro's Miniature Rune Land.
"This area is the Noxus Empire, and the surrounding area is Piltover. Further to the southeast is Bilgewater."
Huo Jixing surrounded the metal grid ball and saw many marked names, representing the territory of different forces.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the continent of Shurima and the Kingdom of Demacia.
"Is this Piltover? The entire continent of Valoran is completely displayed on the Sphere of Zindaro."
Huo Jixing sighed inwardly: No matter where you are, Land and maps are also very important resources.
After leaving the square, Huo Jixing walked along the bustling street.
At an intersection, he ducked out of the way of the sound-transmitting tube courier who was running to deliver a message, and smelled the aroma of food.
