Relying on his special talents, Sylas finally gained a foothold in the Freljord.
In the south, Lux led the soldiers who were still carrying out the vigorous "Pull the Colossus" operation. As the soldiers became more and more skilled in cooperation, Galio gradually changed from being nervous to relaxing.
Just when Forsbarrow was about to welcome their new lord, Ino took Kalya, connected the two dragons, and finally arrived at Forsbarrow.
The journey went smoothly, the only "small problem" was that Ino was unable to pick up his parents and brothers.
They didn't want to come to Forsbarrow with Ino.
……………………
In fact, after meeting Eno, the first reaction of Eno's parents was "Eno escaped from prison."
They did not ask about Ino's experience in detail, but after cooking her a table of her favorite dishes, they politely expressed the hope that Ino would surrender.
"The current Sheriff of Mithril City is a respectable and decent person." Her father advised in a dry tone, "He has never liked demon hunters... Even if he doesn't admit his identity, we can
It is best to go and say hello to him through the village elders."
Ino, who couldn't laugh or cry, could only explain that he was no longer a prisoner. He was now working for Miss Laxana - oh, it should be called Count Laxana now - and he had a legitimate status. This trip was not to escape, but to hope.
Pick up the family and go to Forsbarrow.
In order to enhance her persuasiveness, Ino even briefly told her legendary experience during this period.
Unfortunately, for this pair of honest farmers who have lived in the countryside of Mithril City all their lives, even if Ino consciously removed a lot of content that is difficult to describe, the experience along the way was really too bizarre.
According to Ino's father, these experiences of Ino are completely stories that "even the bards in the tavern can't tell." Even if it doesn't sound like there is any problem, they can still only believe it with suspicion.
There is no way, it is always difficult for people to believe things beyond their knowledge. It is not an easy thing to convince someone, even a close relative, with just words.
Fortunately, at this time, Ino's brother came back from vacation and brought back some news about Xiongdu.
After meeting Ino, he was overjoyed - although his sister seemed to be a great person, he didn't have any jealousy, but praised her achievements with words full of envy.
At this time, Ino finally knew what his brother had been through over the years.
After Ino left, his brother got his wish and saved a pair of armor, bought an old horse, and successfully joined the army of Mithril City.
Compared with other aristocratic children who have been trained since childhood and a few people with outstanding talents, his talent is not outstanding. Although his strength is not small, he can only be regarded as a mid-range figure among the recruits at the same time.
But fortunately, he was quite lucky. The next year, he encountered a Freljord barbarian siege. Unlike the previous barbarian sieges, it seemed that this barbarian attack was due to a disaster.
The city has a somewhat weak and powerless feel to it.
In the process of defending the border, he made some meritorious deeds, and finally became the captain of a reconnaissance team from an ordinary soldier, and became a real knight.
In the process, he heard some news about "the close relationship between Ino and Miss Laxana", as well as some legends about the torture of Stonecrown, but Mithril City is really too far away from the capital of Demacia.
In addition, the reason for the stone crown punishment was quite special, so he could not get accurate news in the end, so he could only comfort his parents with some half-truths and half-false news.
Until now.
The news of Earl Laxana's knighthood has come. Although Ino did not reveal his identity as a summit climber in the end and chose to join the Silent People. There is no official record of the whole person, but combined with the previous true and false news
It seems that her brother has almost understood her special status now.
After his explanation, the second elder finally understood that his girl was completely considered a big shot and was now working for the new Earl.
Seeing that her parents finally recognized her current identity, Ino finally spoke out about the purpose of her trip: she hoped that her parents and brother could go to Forsbarrow with her to start a new life.
But beyond Ino's expectation, her parents, after a moment of silence, chose to refuse at the same time about going to Fosbello to enjoy the blessings together.
They have become accustomed to life in Mithril City. From childhood to adulthood, from their prime to their twilight years, all their sweat has been poured into this land, and all their interpersonal relationships have been maintained nearby.
Young people can pack up their bags and set out again, but for people of their age, the inability to leave their homeland is the remaining part of life.
Ino wanted to persuade her again, but her brother shook his head gently and signaled her not to persuade her anymore.
"I will take good care of my parents." He looked at his sister with a smile, "It's you, I heard that the weather in Forsbarrow is very cold, and it is close to the front line of the barbarians in the north... I'm afraid it's not as good there.
Mithril City is stable, and I have seen the barbarians of Freljord, and they are quite ferocious."
Ino blinked.
"Although this is not good... but if possible, I actually hope that you can come back to Mithril City." Looking at Ino's somewhat disapproving attitude, her brother finally lowered his voice and said, "This is us after all.
Where you grew up, if possible, I think you would also prefer to come back to Mithril City, right?"
Ino blinked and did not give an answer immediately.
"Count Laxana has newly acquired territory, so he needs more experienced people, right?" My brother continued in a low voice, "Maybe we can work it out and see if we can transfer you back and replace him with someone who is more experienced in managing the place.
People go to Forsbarrow."
"?"
"I mean, maybe you can try to come back." Facing Ino's increasingly subtle gaze, my brother's expression gradually became awkward, "This way we can live together..."
Ino didn't answer.
She saw clearly that her brother actually had no clear idea of Lux's identity, nor did he understand what it meant to be a powerful Earl.
If his guess is correct, what he is saying now is someone who let him know intentionally or unintentionally - Fosbarrow is bitterly cold, and Count Laxana needs skilled manpower.
Therefore, after getting this information, his brother will naturally hope that he can return to Mithril City. In his opinion, following a new earl to Forsbarrow is not as good as going home and becoming a sheriff or tax collector.
Happiness comes.
For a moment, Ino really wanted to grab his brother and ask him who told him this and who wanted to go to Forsbarrow on his behalf.
But Ino didn't do that after all, and just sighed softly.
If possible, she really wanted to tell her parents and brother about all her experiences, all her thoughts, what she expected, and the beautiful new city she wanted to build in Forsbarrow.
world.
But unfortunately, there are some things that cannot be said yet - at least not openly.
For a Demacian, if they have not actually been to Shurima and seen the legacy left by the Shurima Empire and the blessings brought by the magical civilization, it may be difficult for them to understand the decision of Lux and Ino.
.
Sometimes, even people who are closely related by blood cannot easily understand each other.
From the perspective of their parents, the world is only as big as Mithral City. They were born and raised here and have never left it throughout their lives, let alone set their sights on the outside world.
They don't care about Fosbairo, who is "far away" to them. For them, all they can do is to tell their daughters to be down-to-earth and be a down-to-earth person.
In my brother's view, although the world is not as big as Mithril City, there are still places outside Mithril City that have little to do with him.
Although he had heard about Count Laxana and understood that a follower like his sister might have a bright future, this did not prevent him from sincerely believing that it would be better to live a stable life in Mithril City.
Forsbarrow...that's not a nice place!
If you go there to suffer hardships, you might as well give up your position to those who want to join you, and go back to Mithril City to live your own life in peace!
Ino had a thousand words to say, but when the words came to her lips, they could only turn into a gentle sigh.
At this moment, she suddenly understood what a rich legacy Kalya had left for Shurima, and for the first time she realized the meaning of dreams.
Unknowingly, a thick barrier has been built between me and my family. They are obviously blood relatives, but they seem to live in two worlds.
"What are you sighing for?" Just when Ino was helpless, Kalya suddenly said, "Although you can't talk to them about magic...but you can at least talk to them about your early days in Forsbarrow.
The results of the investigation!”
"ah?!"
"Tell them that you are going to build roads in Forsbarrow, build water conservancy in Forsbarrow, and cultivate terraces on the slopes of Forsbarrow!" Kalya said as if he was familiar with the road, "They may not agree with the industrialization of magic.
It is a matter of large-scale magic production, but they will definitely understand the principles of building roads and water conservancy, and they will definitely agree with the choice of opening up new fields!"
Ino was a little stunned.
"You can't keep silent and unwilling to publicize your ideals just because they can't fully understand them!" Karya urged, "No one is born knowing this. A huge plan has many aspects, but the people involved don't.
The plan needs to be fully understood – they just need to understand what they need to understand!”
Ino was a little stunned.
At this moment, Ino realized that his thoughts had gone astray just now because of his brother's persuasion.
Yes, maybe my parents and brother can't understand the industrialization of magic and the powerful power that magic can give in mass production. But if you make the matter more specific, it means that you want to work with Lux in Forsbarrow.
If they build roads, build water conservancy projects, and open terraced fields, then they will definitely understand what their work means!
Thinking of this, Ino's embarrassment and disappointment disappeared. She no longer stared at her brother, but smiled and thought about Forsbarrow's future.
Yes, Fosbello is very barren now and is located at the forefront of the northern border.
But Ino believes that if there are a large number of demon-possessed people, as well as Lux and Kalya, everything will be different there!
For the civilians living in Demacia, magic is a dangerous existence.
But similarly, for them, building roads, water conservancy, and opening up farmland are normal things - being willing to organize these things is the greatest good deed of noble gentlemen in the eyes of common people!
So, Ino began to vividly talk about what he had seen last time at Forsbarrow, saying that there was no established road there and the caravan could only move along the path of the glacier; that there was obviously plenty of melted snow and water there.
But there are no mature water conservancy resources like Miyin City; the land there is so vast and sparsely populated that people even grow vegetables in the city...
As Ino changed the topic, both her parents and her brother visibly relaxed. Although they still wanted Ino to come back, after hearing what Ino said, they no longer objected to Ino's going.
Fosbairo.
"Road construction and water conservancy construction are big things!" Ino's father took out his pipe, filled it with coarse broken tobacco leaves, lit it, and took a deep breath. "If Lady Laxana trusts you, you must
You just have to work hard. Twenty years ago, when Mi Silver City organized the dredging of shipping waterways, I was the leader of the sub-groups..."
His father entered the "me then" mode, and Ino's brother also gave up his intention of letting his sister return to Mithril City.
According to him, it is about development. If those speculative bastards go to Forsbarrow, I am afraid they will mess up everything.
"Since it's time for Forsbarrow to employ people, let them stay here in Mithril City and become rice bugs!"
This family conversation finally ended with Inuo's mother urging Inuo's brother to get married as a repertoire.
Seemingly understanding her daughter's decision, Ino's mother did not dictate her future and ideals. Instead, she decisively turned her gun and aimed at her son, who rarely came home once, and tried to arrange a blind date program for him.
Ino's brother fled, and Ino's mother refused to let him go. At this moment, Ino's father smoked his pipe and secretly gave Ino a small bag.
"Take it, think of it as your pocket money." He whispered while looking at his wife and son in the yard, "Road and water repairs are big projects, and they are very hard. You are young,
It’s not easy to calm down the situation, so you should be more generous when you should be generous, and you must work hard at ordinary times, and you must not let down the trust of His Excellency the Earl.”
Feeling the weight of this small bag, Ino was silent.
"This is your father's coffin book!" The old man continued with a smile, "Also, don't forget to meet the right person, bring it back and have a look, and I will help you check it..."
