The punishment of being crowned with stones is a punishment with a sense of shame.
However, if you really reach the top and return, the meaning will be completely different.
Walking barefoot and climbing Mount Targon means that you have accepted the most severe test, washed away everything in the past, and since then you have become a god walking in the world.
Of course, such an important identity will not be easily recognized.
Within the Illuminati, the Silent Man's collection clearly records the means of identifying this "peaker" - and as the most powerful esoteric force in the Illuminati, the Silent Man has always been known for being inhumane.
They are known to serve only gods, and they can be said to be selfless when it comes to matters involving gods.
Therefore, don't try to launder your rights or seize power through this method, unless you can control the Silent Man.
At this time, Lux and Ino were able to return to Demacia in a more honorable manner.
But Kalya didn't advise her to do this.
"Think about it, if you directly return to the capital of Demacia as a climber, what will happen next?" When Lux and Ino descended from the mountain and returned to the small town of Nerimajie,
Kalya reminded, "Speaking of which, we have severely exposed the Illuminati."
"But the Silent People should still be very reliable, right?" When it came to this topic, Lux was a little unsure, "They are rarely mentioned, but everyone seems to think that they are the most pious people."
"Absolutely." Karya agreed with Lux's statement, "However, the Silent People may not have other thoughts, but the bishops of the Illuminati are not fuel-efficient lamps. They were suppressed by the royal family and the nobles to become what they are now.
If there is an opportunity, they will never miss it."
"So you are saying that I will become a target for them to use?" Lux is no longer the ignorant little girl who just left Demacia who only knows how to implement Kalya's plan. There are some things that she will be very happy if Kalya just starts.
Come to understand, "So, if I show up in Demacia, wouldn't it mean that both the Noble Council and the Illuminati would actively recruit me?"
"Yes, for those who want to gain power, this is a good opportunity to have both sides." Kalya paused and continued, "However, this is meaningless to you. What you need is something practical and practical.
, enough power to initiate a reform, but all the Illuminati needs is a banner and a reason."
"Understood." Having had the experience of being regarded as a model of nobility and offering high praises, Lux knew this method of flattery all too well. "So, if I show up with great fanfare now, I will plunge headlong into the world."
In the political whirlpool, he became the focus of everyone."
"It's good to understand this." Seeing that Lux was so awake, Karya's tone finally sounded a bit relieved, "So, before you show up publicly, you still need to cultivate some power of your own."
"But, where should we start?" When it came to this topic, Lux also had a headache, "I'm afraid my father and mother have different ideas from me. If the family's power cannot be borrowed, I really can't think of it for a while.
Where to start."
"The first step you have to do is to tell the Demacians that Lux is a reliable person." Kalya has obviously already thought about this. "Moreover, this reliability has nothing to do with her noble status, nor does it have anything to do with her.
The identity of the climber is irrelevant.”
"It sounds easy to say." Lux couldn't help but rub her forehead after hearing this, "But in practice, I still have no clue - compared with Zaun, Demacia is too big, and the entire Demacia,
Only news about the capital of Demacia can be spread, but I can’t start from here.”
"Start from the Shadow Realm." Kalya didn't give in. "Rescuing your uncle is one thing, but more importantly, fighting the devil is the best way to gain reputation."
"Remember Tam?" Kalya reminded, "The one you saw in Bilgewater, the big-tongued demon."
"That greedy demon?"
"Yes, it left a letter at that time. It seems that the demons are reviving, and Tam plans to be a broker among the demons and hold a party or something like that."
"But what does the awakening of demons have to do with Demacia?" Lux asked puzzledly, "Demacia has never had a problem with demons."
"No, no, no, it's a big deal." Kalya snorted, "Did Tariq tell you about the mysterious death of the envoy before?"
"I told you." Lux nodded, "You also asked me to ask a few questions."
"The question is not in vain." Kalya chuckled, "Believe me, the murderer of that incident is a demon."
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux finally showed a nervous expression.
"Demon of Pain, Embrace of Pain, Evelyn." Kalya pointed out the identity of the other party directly, "Moreover, when we go to the Shadow Realm to save your uncle, we may also meet another demon, the Demon of Nightmares,
Nightmare, Nocturne.”
"A demon from the Shadow Realm?" The Luxians were dumbfounded, "Also in Demacia?"
"Correct answer, but it's a pity that there is no reward." Kalya smacked her lips, as if her bad taste had struck again, and she really enjoyed Lux's surprise. "You don't think that the situation in Demacia is stable now, do you? Believe me, although that is just
It's just an appearance. When the ancestors of Demacia arrived here, they found it empty. It was not because no one had ever been here before, but because everyone who had been here was finished."
Kalya's words made both Lux and Ino look horrified - they were not afraid of demons, but they still felt chilling horror at Kalja's description of "they are all finished".
This unknown feeling... is really not good.
However, after a moment, the two finally realized that this bastard Kalya was trying to scare people - especially when Kalya started laughing, Lux almost wanted to throw her sword into the river next to her.
.
Considering that the poor old man has now lost his immortality, the generous Miss Lux decided to let him go temporarily.
Humph, I am not as experienced as an empty nester!
……………………
In Naerimajie, Lux and Ino successfully retrieved their "statues" that existed here.
The owner of the hotel obviously didn't know that the statue that had been stored in his warehouse was actually a darkspawn; what he didn't even expect was that the darkspawn even held a cross in his arms that represented Shurima's imperial power.
edge……
In the end, Lux and Ino, who had retrieved the "stored items", sold a suit of rune steel armor (sold at the price of rune steel at a huge loss) and then purchased two camels to replenish sufficient supplies.
When ready, the two left Nerimajie and headed north, along the mountains of Mount Targon, towards Kalamanda.
Different from the previous devil training, this journey north was very easy for Lux and Ino. They no longer had to travel day and night, nor did they need to challenge their physical limits. In addition, the climate near the Targon Mountains was far better than
The center of the Dasai Desert brought humidity and mildness. During this period, although they were moving very fast, the journey was quite leisurely.
Although Kalya has lost his immortality, he still plays the role of a tour guide very competently, introducing the specialties of Western Shurima to Lux and Ino by answering all their questions.
It can be heard that Kalya spent a very long and important period of time here. Different from the information obtained from other papers, Kalya has his own understanding of the animals, plants, terrain, climate, etc. here.
More importantly, after Lux and Ino already knew most of his experiences, Kalya's story gradually began to have its own existence.
Although he still did not relax at all about Lux and Ino's magic training, the two little girls could feel that Kalya seemed to be much more friendly.
How to say...
The previous Kalya was also very reliable and did not give people too much sense of distance, but it always felt as if the whole person was covered with a veil. When I wanted to take a closer look, I could only see vaguely.
But now Kalya seems to be really just a knowledgeable, kind, stern and unforgiving old man. This makes Lux and Ino feel a little subtle and almost family affection while being "flattered".
of warmth.
Perhaps, this kind of Karya is the most real Karya?
It's a pity that because a certain regent prince is too cautious, Lux and Ino, who have this idea, can only blink at each other quietly, look at the passwords and roads, and don't dare to really say their guesses - Climb
Mount Targon is already very tiring, and no one wants to add more training content to themselves.
The journey from Nerimaje to Kalamanda was quite smooth.
Through this journey, Lux and Ino finally relaxed from the previous state of severe mental stress, and at the same time gradually adapted to the power of heaven in their bodies.
Kalya very seriously and diligently handed over his experience in controlling the power of heaven to Lux and Ino, but what made him quite embarrassed was that after listening to it, Lux and Ino both said "That's it"
expression.
Obviously, it took a lot of effort for Kalya to barely reach the level of control that Lux and Ino had already reached when they fought Leona.
Although he appears calm on the surface and seems to be pleased with his tone, only Kalya himself knows how it really feels to have such a talent being crushed by a student...
Maybe it's really gratifying?
Maybe you are still a little unwilling?
Maybe you are already used to it?
……………………
Coming to Kalamanda again after many years, Lux and Ino were surprised to find that this port city seemed to have not changed at all.
The docks, streets, urban areas, markets, everything looks familiar.
This unchanging feeling made both Lux and Ino slightly uncomfortable. After thinking about it, they realized that they had become accustomed to change since leaving Demacia.
With this subtle thought in mind, Lux and Ino sold their camels and bought two tickets to the capital of Demacia - although Lux and Ino would not stage a Return of the King at this time.
, the end point of this trip is also Forsbarrow, but because Demacia does not have many external exchanges, starting from Kalamanda to Demacia, the end point can only be Demacia Capital.
"That is to say, after returning to the capital of Demacia, we still need to hide our identity!" Regarding this, Lux was naturally very depressed, "It was already bad that I couldn't go home, but now I even have to visit the house.
Without entering!"
Although Lux knew that this was an inevitable choice and that she could not show up in Demacia rashly, she was still angry at the thought of not being able to go home even though she had returned to the capital of Demacia.
In this regard, Ino could only hold Lux's hand and slowly comfort her.
What's worse is that because she is at sea and there are strong winds and waves, Lux's mood becomes even more irritable.
Even though she had been bathed in the radiance of heaven, Lux still felt uncomfortable when she was on the sea.
It seems that the change in strength is not enough to change Lux's discomfort with riding on a boat. Even though she is no longer physically nauseous, her mental state is still somewhat affected.
Fortunately, this journey is not too long, and both Lux and Ino have strong self-regulation abilities. Seven days later, in the early morning, when the ship arrived at the port of Demacia's capital, the two of them finally set foot on the
When she landed on solid ground, Lux let out a long breath and relaxed her whole body.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to avoid being seen by people they know, Lux and Ino took turns carrying the statue and quietly bypassed the guards at the pier.
The two of them did not enter Demacia's capital, but walked directly around the city. They reached the north of Demacia's capital in one breath, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the sun was rising and the temperature was gradually getting hotter and humid, Lux and Ino simply sat down at a roadside stall - although the two young girls were carrying a large sealed bag (with Sefiqa in a sealed state inside).
It seems a bit strange, but this is the main traffic thoroughfare in the north of the city, with people coming and going, shipping and selling, so the boss and passers-by don't pay too much attention.
"From here on, you probably won't meet any acquaintances." Ino went to buy bread, while Lux held her sword in hand and discussed with Kalya the next step of action. "However, if we go to Forsbarrow,
I only know that I should take the northwest direction, but I’m not sure about the specific road... You said you can enter the Shadow Realm by going to Forsbarrow, so you should know the way?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know him." Kalya denied decisively, "I just know that Fosbello has a lot to do with the Shadow Realm, but specifically, I have never been there."
"This is troublesome." Lux couldn't help grinning after hearing this, "In Demacia, ordinary people can't buy maps. Do we have to ask around slowly along the way?"
Just when Lux was thinking about how to get a map, Ino came back with a cracked wooden tray, two pieces of bread, and two really clean and hygienic cold drinks.
Not only that, she also brought unexpected good news to Lux.
"When I just went shopping, I heard that the small caravan next to me was going to Forsbarrow." Ino handed Lux's portion of bread and cold drinks over and said with a smile,
