"It's all about the past." In the silence of Lux and Ino, Kalya said in a calm tone, "Who hasn't had a period of burning passion when they were young -
—”
"But you never told me that the regent is actually the prince regent." Lux covered her forehead helplessly, "No wonder the regent Jin Yu is so effective..."
Only then did she realize that she and Ino had unknowingly been completely wrapped up in the cocoon of information provided by Kalya - the fact that the regent was the regent was actually in the history of Shurima
It's not much of a secret.
Setaka is the "top leader of Shurima orthodoxy", and people related to her have always been the focus of archaeological research.
Therefore, although the Shurima people may not know that the Prince Regent is the God of Death in Shurima and the president of Shurima University, they know very well that the ascended Martial Queen and the Prince Regent are the blood source of the Shurima royal family, the source of strength and power.
The representative of wisdom.
And because of Kalya's "Shurima Tunnel", Lux and Ino would never take the initiative to look up information about Shurima. If they have anything, just ask Kalya - so, after Kalya's deliberate avoidance,
Next, they were completely unaware that their teacher was actually the husband who ascended to the rank of Martial Queen, the only prince of Shurima!
Just as Lux lamented, can the regent Jin Yu not be used easily?
"The Shurima Empire is over. In fact, there is not much difference between the regent and the regent prince." Kalya pretended that these were all details, "In comparison, among the many identities,
, I still prefer the identity of the president of Shurima University - Okay, okay, don’t worry about these things, pack your things quickly, we have to continue setting off."
"But, what to do with that girl?" Lux pointed to Sivir, who had recovered and was rescuing his mercenaries, "She is your blood descendant..."
"If we talk about blood, do you still remember the Cordora who was eventually sentenced to hanging in Mithril City?" After Lux and Ino nodded at the same time, Kalya finally chuckled, "The biological relationship between him and you is far away.
Much closer than me and her... When you think of blood, you may think of father, mother, and brother, but in fact, for immortals, that is a completely different concept."
"..."
Both Lux and Ino were silent. Although Kalya's tone seemed to be understatement, the loneliness in it was beyond words.
"For ordinary people, blood is the most important link." Kalya paused and then reluctantly continued to explain, "But for me, the blood link is not even as stable and reliable as the one passed down by teachers and students... This is a
It’s quite a complicated topic, especially about the changes in social relations brought about by immortals. Only after you climb Mount Targon will you have a similar understanding to me - Okay, that’s the end of this topic, it’s time to set off.
.”
Although Lux and Ino still had many questions, it was obvious that Kalya was no longer willing to continue talking to them.
According to usual experience, in this case, if you insist on breaking the casserole and ask Kalya to the end, and ask Kalya anxiously, you will only get the sentence "Now is not the time" in the end, and then the after-class exercises for the day will be doubled.
In desperation, Lux and Ino could only look at each other, shook their heads in unison, and then began to pack their bags.
……………………
At three o'clock in the day and the temperature in the desert began to rise rapidly, the three groups in the oasis finally parted ways in silence.
Although he lost his camel, the resourceful Kassadin took out his homemade carrot snacks and successfully seduced the camel that Elise was riding.
After digging a simple aqueduct, taking it to drink some salt water from the oasis lagoon, and taking this opportunity to give the camel a comprehensive massage, he finally succeeded in taming the camel.
With the camel as a beast of burden, he could finally take off the heavy mecha, put it away, and put it on the camel's back together with his luggage.
After doing all this, he finally called Xiao Huangmao. After confirming the direction, the two said goodbye to Lux and Ino, turned northwest, and started heading in the direction of Nasramei.
It was also when they set off that Lux and Ino also set off simultaneously.
Because Lux and Ino had to take turns carrying Chalikar and walking on foot, the load on Skalas was significantly reduced.
Coupled with the fact that he had just eaten and drank enough in the oasis, the condition of this Scarash was obviously much better, and even his walking steps were much lighter, so that the man riding on Scarash's back still needed to
Pull the reins from time to time to limit the speed.
It is foreseeable that the journey from here to Bu Mang, Lux and Ino will be quite difficult.
As for Sivir... after she suffered a devastating blow, it took her a long time to come to her senses and begin to gather her team.
Although the mercenaries who were thrown out by the rock puppet were in bad condition and extremely embarrassed, most of them were not in danger of life. Sivir dug them out of the sand and temporarily stationed them on the spot.
During this period, Sivir also thought about whether to talk to the person who took away the gift of her bloodline, but the stubborn girl finally chose to grit her teeth and regroup her team.
Although losing Chalikar made her feel extremely painful, it was not enough to make her take the initiative to beg for mercy - I am the top mercenary in Nasramei, and even without Chalikar, she is still a big boss.
!
Sivir had thought about it. In this oasis, after he and the mercenaries had almost recovered their physical strength, he would lead the team back at dusk.
One failure cannot explain anything. Along the way, Sivir has been struggling all the time, what kind of hardships has he not endured, what kind of failures has he not experienced?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Compared with when both parents died when I was a child, I could only survive by picking up rotten vegetables in the market; compared with before when I was betrayed and almost died of thirst in the desert.
in; compared to overthrowing the leader's rule in a situation where the enemy is outnumbered and almost dying under the blade of chaos... what is this kind of painless failure?
Sivir is not a delicate flower in the greenhouse!
……………………
From that unknown oasis to Bumang, due to the need to slow down and walk, the originally scheduled three-day trip was extended to five days.
When Lux and Ino finally saw the wall outside Bumang Town, both of them were about to cry with joy.
Different from riding on the back of Scarash and advancing slowly and leisurely, the difficulty of trekking in the yellow sand of the desert is significantly higher.
For the two of them, the journey on the back of Scarash was difficult, but following Scarash... it could only be described as painful.
Although they all wear high-waisted boots with straps at the top to prevent gravel from falling into the boots, their feet will be sore and painful after a day of walking.
Even though because of Ino, the two of them are not short of water and can even soak their feet in hot water every night to relieve fatigue, the four slippery little feet of the two of them that were once in vain have now gone out.
Thick cocoon.
As extraordinary beings, Lacus and Ino are obviously better than ordinary people in terms of energy and physique. However, because Kalya still insists on attending classes at night, Lacus and Ino can only rest in shifts during the day.
Completely negating the advantages of extraordinary beings!
Therefore, when they arrived at Bu Mang, their state could no longer be simply described as "embarrassed" - unlike the previous understatement, at this moment, Lux and Ino's states were finally truly close.
A desert traveler who travels through the desert all year round.
"Finally I found a place with people." Lux, who paid the city entrance fee and entered Bumang, let out a long breath, "I'll go find a craftsman right away and build me a sand sledge - finally no need
Carrying a heavy chalikar!"
"You have a beautiful idea." Kalya couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "But I want to remind you that even if you build a sand sledge, you don't have to carry Chalikar, from here to the foot of Mount Targon.
, you and Ino still need to take turns walking."
"Why?" Lux said in disbelief, "From here on, you can't ride Scarash anymore?"
"To be honest, I suggest you sell this Scarash." Kalya's next words made Lax even more stunned. "In the following trip, according to my plan, you will have four hours of rest every day.
, that is, four hours at noon. The rest of the time, I have classes in the evening and travel during the day - Scarlash is not easy to arrange, so replacing two camels will save a lot of time."
"This!" Lux and Ino widened their eyes at the same time, "How is this possible?"
"Unlike the Rakkor people, you must climb Mount Targon as quickly as possible." Kalya said in a serious tone, "The faster, the better, the faster, the safer, so it is best to travel day and night."
"So this trip to the desert is not only sharpening our will, but also allowing us to adapt to a state similar to climbing?" Lux blinked and said suddenly, "From staying out at night to traveling day and night, from riding on a bicycle.
Scarash carried the camel on his back and walked by himself..."
"Children can be taught."
"Does that mean that when we get to places like Kalamanda, we won't even need camels?" Lux narrowed her eyes and looked at the hilt of her sword, "At that time, we will only have to rely on camels.
One leg forward?!"
"That's not entirely true." Lux's recent sharpening has given Karya a bit of a headache (although technically speaking, Karya does not have a head now), "Even at the foot of Mount Targon, you can leave a camel.
, so that it can shelter from the wind and sand when resting, and also help carry Sefiqa on his back."
After hearing Kalya's weak explanation, both Lux and Ino couldn't help but roll their eyes at the same time - indeed, he had planned it, from the beginning it was relatively easy to the end, which was extremely difficult.
The increase in difficulty really highlights a step-by-step approach!
But after rolling their eyes, the two little girls still led Scarash to the livestock market at the corner of Bumang.
However, what they never expected was that there were no camels for sale at the Bumang livestock market.
"Don't say there is no more Bu Mang." Facing the incredulous Lacus and Ino, the owner of a large livestock store showed a helpless expression on his face, "If you want to buy camels now, you can only go to Naslamei, or
Zurita!”
"What happened?" Lux handed a small bag of change to the boss, "Why can't I buy camels suddenly?"
"Because there's a war in the west." The owner of the livestock farm shook his head and did not take the bag of money. "There's a war in Uzeris. I heard that the Noxians are recruiting troops there, and I don't know what to do.
The problem was brought to the hands of the Rakkor... Rakkor, you know that, right?"
"Yeah." Lux nodded, "those fanatical believers."
"Yes, how can the fanatical Rakkor people fight for the secular kingdom?" The boss spread his hands and showed a helpless look, "I heard that Noxus has been denounced as the [Enemy of the Burning Sun]
]."
"So you can't buy camels?" Lux still didn't understand, "What does this have to do with buying and selling camels?"
"The situation is tense." The boss spread his hands. "No one knows whether this conflict will intensify or slowly subside, so the sale of strategic materials such as camels is restricted."
"But it's at least a thousand miles away from Uzeris, isn't it?" Lux's eyes widened in astonishment, "And there are big cities such as Zurita and Nasramei in the middle... Why is it like this?"
"Are you from the east?" The owner of the livestock farm did not answer Lux's question directly, but asked instead, "Are you from the east of the Dasai Desert?"
"That's right." Although Lacus didn't know why the other party asked this question, she still nodded, "I'm from Bergün."
"Aha, no wonder." The boss heard this and nodded with satisfaction, "Although everyone is from Northern Shurima, the east and west are still different. Very few of you believe in giant gods, right?"
"Hardly."
"But it's different in the west." The boss chuckled, "That's me. If you were in another livestock business, they would probably have to preach to you now..."
"Do people here believe in the Titan God?" Lux asked curiously, "I just heard that the Rakkor people are fanatical believers."
"The Lakor people are more fanatical, but apart from the Nashrame people, people elsewhere are more or less trusting." The boss pouted towards another livestock farm opposite, "Did you see that sign at their door?
It means they are believers in the blazing sun."
"..."
"The Noxians have stabbed the scorpion's nest this time - except for the iron-headed boy of Nasramei and Zurita, the governors of various places turned a blind eye to the Rakkor and allowed
They paid for their services." The boss hugged his shoulders and showed a cheerful smile on his face, "Uzeris is in chaos. At this time, the sale of strategic materials will be stopped. When the incident is over, how much tax will be lost, devout believers will
To make up for it in full, without any debt, do you think our Lord Governor is willing to stop the transaction directly?"
