Volume 5 Chapter 34 - Powerful Frestech Chamber of Commerce (1/2)

The Sandy River flowed east of the Falling Rain Forest, going through the Mirando Duchy where it was named the Mirando River. It passed through the Mirando Duchy’s territory which wasn’t very wide before entering another country, the Norton Duchy.

Since this river only flowed fifty kilometers into the Norton Duchy before entering a broad clear lake, the people of the Norton Duchy didn’t call it the Norton River and kept the name of the Mirando River.

Only after it flowed to the lake that the locals called Clear Mirror Lake, it spread out again. It flowed into a river that was almost two times as wide and completely changed appearances, becoming the biggest river in the Norton Duchy, the Anfield River.

Legends said that three thousand years ago, the most renowned female warrior of the humans Anfield had taken a bath in the Clear Mirror Lake. However, she met an expert of the elves and the two fought a fierce battle on Clear Mirror Lake. Finally, they created a large gap in the Clear Mirror Lake which formed a river.

So the people of the later generations called this Anfield River.

At the place where the Anfield River flowed out of Clear River Lake, there was a small town not far away from the side of the lake called Noxus Town.

Since it was close to Clear Mirror Lake, it wasn’t that far from the border of the Mirando Duchy and the Rudson Kingdom. Since it also wasn’t far from Anfield River and Clear Mirror Lake, as well as having one of the main roads of the Norton Duchy cut through it, Noxus Town was much larger than the other towns of the Norton Duchy. It wasn’t even that much smaller than some of the cities.

Moreover, whether it was from the Mirando Duchy or the Rudson Kingdom, if one wanted to reach the Candra Empire, they had to pass through here. So Noxus Town was always lively year round.

With the travelers passing by, the people of the town had much better lives than other places in the Norton Duchy. When they faced people from other parts of the duchy, or even people who came from the Mirando Duchy or the Rudson Kingdom, they would feel a bit of superiority.

In the past two months, the feeling of superiority the people of Noxus Town felt was completely gone.

The reason was very simple, there were a bunch of people who clearly lived better lives that appeared in front of them.

If these people were nobles or merchants, it would be fine, but these people were all clearly normal people. Their statuses weren’t higher than theirs at all.

Among these people was old man Mawor who owned one of the best taverns at the entrance of Noxus Town.

Seeing the three young men who were completely covered in dust to the point where they couldn’t be recognized anymore, old man Mawor didn’t chase out these fellows who clearly looked like beggars. Rather he revealed a friendly smile as he greeted the three of them.

“Hey, you’re all getting off work?”

The three men looked around the tavern and chose an empty table to sit at. One of the men slapped the table and shouted, “Old man Mawor, bring the same as usual, get us two pounds of liquor first.”

“Alright, it’ll be out soon.”

Old man Mawor replied. He brought two pounds of the tavern’s best wine and two plates of beef out with a smile.

After putting down the wine and food, old man Mawor asked, “How is it? You don’t need to go back to work in the afternoon? You’re already drinking at noon?”

The three men all laughed as the man who spoke first waved his hand, “It’s said that the motorcade of someone important is coming by today, so the manager said that we would be stopping the construction of the roads to let that person pass. When that person passes, we’ll start working again tomorrow.”

“It’s like this……” Old man Mawor nodded, but he still felt a bit curious, “I wonder who that important person is. Just him passing by is enough to let your Amrit Chamber of Commerce stop working, he really has quite a bit of face.”

“I heard that it was someone from the Candra Empire. They went to the Rudson Kingdom and now are heading back to the Candra Empire. I don’t know specifically who it is.”

“From the Candra Empire? It really is an important person, no wonder……”

Old man Mawor muttered before turning back to the counter.

After tidying up a bit, there were several black figures that came from the door as more dirty men came in.

Seeing these men who wore the same clothes as the three men from before walk in, old man Mawor immediately greeted them with a smile.

These workers from the Amrit Chamber of Commerce were generous and didn’t cause trouble while drinking, so it could be said that they were the most welcome guests in all the restaurants of the town.

Even if they were a bit dusty from building the roads, as long as they took out real gold coins, it didn’t stop old man Mawor from greeting them with a sincere smile.

But in his free time, old man Mawor did secretly mutter in his heart.

？

Where did this Amrit Chamber of Commerce come from? How could they treat the workers under them so well?

Old man Mawor had found some time to see the road they were building and found that most of the work of these workers were simple heavy work. Other than some things that he didn’t understand, where they operated a strange machine that he didn’t know what was used for, it didn’t seem that difficult.
