Through Vayne possessing the demon seed, we can search for the demon hidden in Forsbarrow, and then find a way to enter the Shadow Realm. This plan is undoubtedly feasible to a certain extent - release Vayne, fish for the demon, and find the shadow.
, the possibility of success is very high.
But the more troublesome part of this plan is that Lux and Ino must hide it from Vayne and Frey, who are the decoys.
They need a reason to follow Vayne and Frey to Forsbarrow.
Therefore, after much thought, Kalya simply let Ino take advantage of his ice bloodline.
As long as Ino can disguise herself as a war mother who is dissatisfied with the Frostguard tribe, she can freely recruit Nafre and follow her to Forsbarrow without any problem!
As for the method of recruitment...
Although using Vayne as a hostage seems a bit bad, for Frey, the threat of "You don't want Vayne's safety to be in trouble" should still be very effective.
Kalya was wicked enough to come up with such a plan in a matter of seconds. Even in order to better disguise, Lux had to play the role of a subordinate - but it is undeniable that there seems to be no problem with this plan.
No one would have thought that Ino, who used Vayne as a hostage to force Frey to serve, was actually targeting Vayne.
The only possible problem with the whole plan is how Ino can play the role of "the war mother who disobeys the Frost Guard tribe".
Kalya, Lux and Ino don't understand the War Mother.
At most, they have heard a little description about the War Mother and read some books about the War Mother - in the long history of civilization in Runeterra, Freljord has always been in a relatively remote corner.
It is not an easy thing to make Ino look like a war mother who left the Freljord and came to Demacia with her own agenda.
Fortunately, Ino has been the secretary-general for three years and is used to being in a high position. If he can maintain a high profile, he should have no problem deceiving Frey in a short time. Therefore, he briefly confronted her in Kalya.
After a few lines, a magical realism drama of castling the king's chariot was finally officially staged.
(Freljord, Demacian, Noxian and other languages in Valoran are almost the same language. In addition, Ino was born in the north, so his accent is different from that of the Freljords, but
It’s pretty much the same.)
Lux holding the Chalikar plays the role of a recruited guard.
Ino, holding the Broken Blade, acted as a war mother who came to Demacia with an agenda, using Vayne as a threat to recruit Frey.
The two worked together to deceive Frey and Vayne, and followed them to find the entrance to the devil and the Shadow Realm.
Moreover, even if the entrance to the Shadow Realm cannot be found through them, there is no loss, right?
With Kalya in the middle, the castling of the king's car between Lux and Ino was quite smooth.
Although he may not be sincere, at least for the safety of the two of them, Frey is still willing to obey Ino's orders honestly.
In this way, Lux and Ino successfully joined the caravan.
Amidst the sound of the driver's whip waving through the air and the shouts of the driving animals, this large team set off again, officially heading north.
……………………
In the caravan, Ino maintained his aloof persona and acted as the master.
Lux, on the other hand, used her social advantages flexibly and quickly became familiar with the caravan owner. During the chat, she got a lot of information about Forsbarrow from the other party.
The more she got to know Fosbairo, the brighter Lux's eyes became.
Forsbarrow is located in the northwest of Demacia. It is an important town in the northwest of Demacia and is also the poorest place in the entire Demacia.
Why is Forsbyro poor?
This is mainly caused by its special geographical environment - here, the Northern Mountains bend out to the south, forming a branch parallel to the coast of the Sea of Conquest.
This branch is very important to the entire Demacia. It not only blocks the cold air flow in the direction of Frost Harbor, but is also an important outpost for Demacia to defend against the Freljord barbarians.
But for Forsbarrow itself, this is not a good thing, because Forsbarrow is not on a hillside, but on a "gap" of this branch. It is a pass-like city.
Facing the cold wind from the direction of Ningshuang Port, there are always barbarians coming to plunder in winter. The lack of water resources makes transportation difficult. A large number of people need to serve the military, so it is impossible to expand production.
A combination of many bad factors led to the development of this key city in the northwest of the kingdom itself to be quite poor.
Especially the lack of water resources means that even if many cities in the interior of the Kingdom of Demacia want to help, they can hardly do much - Demacia's products are quite rich, but they cannot be transported to Forsbarrow, no matter how rich they are.
It might not make much sense!
It is also a northern city. Although Mithril City also bears a lot of military responsibilities and the winter climate is terrifyingly cold, if materials are transported from the grain-producing areas of Demacia to Mithril City, more than three-quarters of the
All distances can be solved through inland waterway shipping, which consumes very little transportation cost.
But to go to Forsbarrow... if you can punt a quarter of the way, that's a lot!
And even if it's only a quarter, the channel is still one section at a time. If you have to go back and forth, you might as well just walk.
Supplies from other places cannot be transported into Forsbarrow, and it is not easy to transport Forsbarrow's specialties. In this case, even the nobles who were awarded the title of Forsbarrow became poorer generation after generation. In the end, the nobles
He disappeared from the circle and no one could be found.
The main form of local governance in Demacia is the fiefdom system.
Although the king and the noble lords often do not deal with each other, it is an internal problem of the ruler after all - if the noble lord is really gone, Demacia really has no means to control the grassroots!
The nobles of Fosbairo were so poor that they left the circle of nobles. This also caused the Kingdom of Demacia to lose its substantial right to rule over Fosbairo. According to the caravan owner, Fosbairo
There are garrisons and police officers within the city limits of Barrow City, and there are simply no nobles in charge of the nearby areas - everyone can only recommend a few highly respected people to handle conflicts on a daily basis.
"So, I'm under a lot of pressure from traveling back and forth!" When this northwest man said this, his tone seemed to be a little emotional, "Many people depend on us for a living! And this year's business is not good either.
, I heard that many people suffer from the strange disease of lethargy... The holy water of the Illuminati is so expensive, but it is the only one that has an effect. It is really unlucky."
"A strange disease of sleepiness?" Lux put on a scared look, "It's not contagious, right?"
"It's not contagious, it's not contagious." The boss waved his hand after hearing this, "I heard that this strange disease was caused by the barbarian witches in the Freljord. Those barbarians in the north are really careless.
!”
"As long as it's not contagious." Lux seemed to let out a sigh of relief, "I'm going to deliver something to someone right away. It would be troublesome if I contracted a strange disease!"
On her face, she looked relieved at last, but Lux remembered this strange disease in her heart - lethargy, which can be treated with holy water. Why does this strange disease look a bit like an elemental infection?
