Traveling southwest from Zaun, after a five-day voyage, the cargo ship arrived at Bergün.
Lux and Ino quietly slipped off the ship before it entered the port, and rode an ice floe created by Ino into the city of Bergun.
Looking at the familiar Noxtra, Lux and Ino breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
These days on the ship were not easy for the two of them. Although Ino could make fresh water, because they were sneaking away, the two of them could only eat dry food, and the space in the cargo ship's cabin was small, and Lux was still
A little bit seasick...
A combination of factors made this journey for the two of them not pleasant at all.
Fortunately, we have finally arrived in Bergün successfully, and the days of suffering are finally over!
Guessing what they were thinking, Kalya couldn't help but sneer.
"Cherish your current life." There was a clear sense of schadenfreude in his tone, "When you enter the desert, you will understand what a miserable life is!"
"I know, I know." Lux rolled her eyes impatiently, "You have been talking about the desert since I was a child, and I have been listening to it for more than eight years!"
"Yeah, it's a pity that you were always longing for the desert at that time." Kalya skillfully used his trump card, "At that time, you still thought about rowing in the desert-"
"Shut up!!!"
Kalya's behavior of just settling old scores almost made Lux throw her sword away on the spot - and after seeing Ino's smile, she became even more unhappy.
In this case, Karya decisively stopped when enough was enough.
"Okay, no more joking." He cleared his throat and continued, "Next, you need to purchase some supplies before entering the desert. Even if it is the two of you, if you act rashly, it is very likely that you will be completely destroyed.
Getting lost or even killed in the desert - no matter what, preparation for desert travel is essential."
"Teacher Kalya, why do we have to go through the desert?" Ino asked a rare question, "We can actually take a boat directly to Kalamanda, and then turn to Mount Targon, right?"
"It's possible, but if you do that, Lux will probably not even think about climbing Mount Targon."
"What does this have to do with climbing Mount Targon?" Ino was puzzled. "Wouldn't it be smoother and more time-saving to take the sea route? Even if Lux gets seasick, she can spend more time recuperating in Nasramei?"
"Because the most critical factor in climbing Mount Targon is not physical strength, but perseverance." Kalya explained, "Without the tempering of will, it is almost impossible to reach the top."
"So we need to be able to cross the desert?"
"That's right." Karya agreed, "Nothing like the vast sea of Dashai Desert can better train people's will and quality. Although I believe that after everything you have experienced in Zaun, your ideals and beliefs are firm enough, but without experience
The tempered will is still difficult to resist the erosion of Titan. If you want to truly climb Mount Titan, crossing the desert can barely be regarded as a simulation exercise."
"There is also a desert in the simulation training. Can't we use that training?" Speaking of practice, Lux suddenly thought of a way, "This should have a better effect, right?"
"No!" Kalya immediately objected, "Absolutely not - simulation training cannot be used for will training. In fact, too much simulation training experience will reduce willpower!"
"Why is this happening?" Lux said in disbelief, "Obviously most of my combat experience comes from simulation training..."
"Simulation training can keep you alert in critical moments, and it can also allow you to accumulate combat experience at an extraordinary speed." Karya sighed, "But essentially, simulation training is still an illusion. Do you believe
Only when the simulation training is real can the training effect be achieved.”
"And when climbing Mount Targon, I want to avoid this kind of belief?" Lux had some enlightenment, "The test of will of climbing Mount Targon is also related to the illusion?"
"Partly related." Kalya hesitated for a moment, and then confirmed, "The training of climbing Mount Targon is multi-faceted, and will training is your weakest link. I'm not worried that you will believe the old brainwashing of Titan.
But I’m worried that you won’t be able to hold on and your will will eventually be forcibly tampered with, so you must go through an ascetic-like tempering in the process.”
"In other words, I'm going to have to endure hardships next?" Lux was not afraid at all, and her words even brought a bit of excitement about trying, "Come on, I'm not afraid of this!"
"That's great." Kalya said lightly in a subtle tone, as if waiting for a good show, "Okay, now we go to the market in Bergun and prepare to cross the Great Wall.
The supplies the desert needs!"
……………………
The city of Bergün obviously cannot be compared with Piltover in terms of prosperity - not to mention Piltover, even Zaun is more lively than it on weekends.
Although more than ten years ago, under Swain's temptation, the city finally chose to give up the glory of Shurima and join Noxus, but because of the non-forced annexation, Noxus did not
Ergun completely wiped out the original rulers.
Therefore, in the eyes of Lux and Ino, although Belgun has a Noxtorah that represents the rule of Noxus erected in the city, it looks more like an out-and-out Shuri.
However, it can also be seen from some details that there are actually many "Noxian" places in this city - such as the comprehensive market in the west of the city, which is completely Noxian-style with heavy taxes and free admission.
style management.
Here, Kalya provided Lux with a long list and asked her to make a big purchase according to the contents on the list.
According to Kalya's request, Lux exchanged pure gold for Noxus gold coins at the market management office (a handling fee of 5%), and then took Ino with her to enjoy a rare shopping experience.
There was no way around it. When they were in Zaun, Lux and Ino were both well-known figures. If they wanted to buy something, the seller wouldn't accept it even if they wanted to spend money. After a few times, Lux and Ino simply gave up on personalization.
I honestly used the rationed daily necessities.
Anyway, it’s not that it can’t be used, at most it’s not that easy to use.
Now that they finally had a choice, and after hearing from Kalya that they were about to enter the desert to start a tough training session, the two girls held hands and quickly entered a fighting state.
The previous shopping went smoothly, Lux and Ino bought items one by one according to the list.
Soon, the two people bought the last item on the list, a vehicle.
Following Kalya's list, Lux asked the cattle dealer about the price of Sklash.
When the cattle dealer heard that someone wanted to buy Scarash, he was stunned for a moment, and then extended a hand.
"One hundred gold coins?"
"A thousand golden two-headed eagle." The cattle dealer looked Lux up and down, and then his eyes showed the joy of looking at the rich man, "This lady, our Scarash, they are all young and strong young men -
—”
"Two-headed eagle with a thousand gold?!" At this moment, Lux finally couldn't help but take a breath of the hot air of Bergun, "Are you selling Yalong?"
"That's not true." After hearing this, the cattle dealer finally grinned, "Yalong? That thing is not worth the price!"
