Seeing Lux's face full of determination, as if he was sure that he must have a secret plan that he told her, Kalya simply shrugged his shoulders after failing to pretend to be stupid, and left the place where he was.
"Ah, there are indeed some plans, but they are not mature enough, so...what do you think?"
Lux, who thought she had finally caught Kalya's pigtails, was stunned. She never expected that Kalya would choose to show off in the face of irrefutable facts!
If I knew your plan, would I need to ask?
However, seeing that Kalya has already shown such an indifferent attitude, based on Lux's understanding, even if he had to break the casserole and ask the truth, he would probably tell him one, two, three, four, five.
If you want to know what Karya is planning, I'm afraid the only way is to speculate on your own and then ask Karya for confirmation. If you really guessed Karya's intention, then with the pride of the teacher, I probably won't lie.
After getting along with each other for so many years, Lux finally discovered that Kalya is actually a person who is very good at deception, but not very good at lying.
Being good at deception and not being good at lying may seem to be different things, but Lux knows very well that what Kalya likes to do most is to provide true information and then induce the other party to draw wrong conclusions on their own!
The proud Kalya is never willing to say things that are inconsistent with the facts, but the smart Kalya can always make the other party move at his own pace. The effect is much better than lying!
Narrowing her eyes, Lux seemed to transform into a golden-furred fox. She did not continue to pester the silent Kalya, but turned to look at Ino.
"Tell me about your experience in Shurima." Lux finally found a breakthrough, "Be careful and don't miss any details!"
After Kalya returned, Ino briefly told Lux about the experience of the trip to Shurima.
But that was just a rough description, just briefly talking about where I went and what I did.
And now, at the request of Lux, Ino began to tell the experience of the trip to Shurima very carefully in front of Kalya - Ino was talking, Lux was listening and observing carefully.
Looking at Kalya, trying to see something from the other person.
But it's a pity that Kalya seems to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease. No matter what Ino said or what Lux asked, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
But even so, Lux quickly pinpointed what she thought was the key point.
"The guy you're talking about looks like a ray and explodes after absorbing the eternal flames. What is that?"
"It should be some kind of void creature. It seems to have adapted to the void creature in Rune Land." Ino gave his answer, "I asked Teacher Kalya, and he said that he had never seen this thing before. It can easily
To clean it up, the main thing is to rely on the eternal flame."
"It's really interesting." The corner of Lux's mouth turned up slightly, "If we talk about the special attack on the void, it seems that the eternal flame is much stronger than the monolith, right?"
"I haven't compared this." Ino shook his head helplessly, "But to be honest, it's hard for me to imagine that there is anything more restrained than the incandescent flames against void creatures. Have you ever seen Kai'Sa? She is already with the void.
She is in a state of biological symbiosis, but the teacher can still separate her from the void..."
It seems that Kalya has been studying the monolith by himself because of the imminence of the void. This trip to Shurima also clearly confirmed this. The encounter with the void creatures proved the depth of the void's penetration into Runeterra.
However, since Kalya has already given the prince's feathers and established a relationship with Icacia, why not just use the eternal flame in one step?
Is it because the principle of Eternal Flame is still unclear and it is unsafe to use, or is it because Eternal Flame's restraint effect on the void is not as good as it seems?
Lux recalled what Kalya had told her about the battle of Icathia.
The Icathians made mistakes in this regard at the beginning. They thought they could control the void with the eternal flame, but it turned out that the weak little flame was meaningless after the cracks in the void tore the earth apart.
Kalya has always been a person who is good at summarizing experience and lessons. He chose the more reliable monolith as a weapon against the void, which seems to be a more feasible possibility.
But...this shouldn't be the whole reason.
Soon, Lux focused on Kalya's subsequent journey, then compared it with the map, and began to outline Kalya's route of action.
This is a perfect circle.
There was still a little information missing, and Lux still felt that she had overlooked something.
It wasn't until Ino talked about the part where Kalya gave her theoretical lessons that she suddenly realized it.
"Teacher Kalya." Lux, who had already understood the teacher's intention, confidently came to Kalya, who was still pretending to be Alzheimer's, "May I ask, what did Ixtar inherit from Shurima?"
"A lot." After hearing this question, Kalya showed a smile that was both gratifying and helpless. "But you guessed it right, the main legacy of the monolith is indeed in Ixtar."
"So, Ixtal is your next target?"
This time, Kalya did not answer directly, but shook his head helplessly.
"So, you need to study the monolith carefully. I don't know how far the Ixtar people have studied the monolith after so many years - don't embarrass me!"
……………………
Lux finally found the key to the problem that Kalya didn't explain clearly.
In fact, in Kalya's eyes, the void is indeed a threat, but the threat of the void is not enough to require Lux to take time out from busy government affairs to study the introduction to advanced elements - in Kalya's plan,
The fight against the void should not rely on individual heroism, but on a comprehensive system with a clear division of labor.

Full power use of the disc.
And Kalya asked Lux and Ino to spend time studying the monolith now, largely because Ixtal has some problems now.
After Kalya was reborn, he never went to Ixtal.
But Xiao Huangmao has been there.
Although in Xiao Huangmao's travel notes, he chose to keep the Seven Princesses of Ixtar a secret and did not touch upon the inside story about Ixtal, but Kalya, who had read Xiao Huangmao's travel notes in full, just talked to Ezreal
After just a brief chat, I discovered a lot of interesting things.
In Ixtal, there are many things that Ezreal can only see on the surface, but after his description, Kalya can see through their essence - it's like Ezreal doesn't know that he is maintaining the operation of Ixtar.
What is the elemental furnace, but Kalya has a good idea of it after asking some detailed questions about the properties of the materials and the appearance of the building.
If there were no Kalya, then Ixtar might have embarked on a path of studying the original axioms, treating elemental magic as orthodox magic, and bringing it into life.
However, with the influence of Kalya and the glory of the Shurima Empire, Ixtal cannot let go of the Shurima plot now.
Therefore, although the Ixtal whom Ezreal met studied elements, in the Tower of Elements of Ixoken, Ixtal also built an energy source similar to the sun's disk.
So, here comes the question, what did the Ixtar people do as a source of energy?
Kalya initially thought it was a world rune.
However, after meeting with Kassadin and getting more information about Ixoken's Tower of Elements from the other party's clearer description, as well as learning about the changes of the Underworld Blade within the Tower of Elements,
, Kalya was shocked to discover that Ixoken's Tower of Elements was probably extracting the power of the monolith.
To be honest, after reaching this conclusion, Kalya couldn't believe his own judgment.
Although theoretically speaking, as an artificial creation of pure elements, monolith can indeed be used as an energy source, but using monolith, an easy-to-control pure element, as an energy source is just like burning diamonds. It is pure.
waste.
Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling Kalya is to accept it emotionally, at least from what Kassadin and Ezreal see, the Ixtal people are relying on Ixoken's Tower of Elements to develop their own elemental magic system.
Of course, if the matter only ends here, then Karya's guess is still just a guess, and there is no way to tell.
The most critical piece of evidence comes from Iva.
Kalya and Iva have signed a dragon contract.
If you want Iva to advance to the ancient dragon level, then a very important step is the baptism of pure elements.
During the Shurima Empire, the baptism ceremony of pure elements was always held in Ixtal.
After returning to Forsbarrow, Kalya specifically asked Iva to go to Ixtar for a tour.
Since Ivar usually did not stay in Forsbarrow when Shyvana was at home, no one noticed Ivar's quiet disappearance.
As a result, when Iva flew around Isuoken's Tower of Elements and returned to Forsbarrow, Kalya gave it a detailed inspection.
The results of the examination showed that she was indeed exposed to the elemental infectious radiation unique to the monolith.
This kind of radiation will only appear when the monolith disintegrates and its pure element structure is destroyed.
In fact, when the Shurima Empire was able to create monoliths, a large part of its manufacturing theory experience came from the Shurima Empire's pure element baptism ceremony for the elemental dragons - although the elemental dragons have the title of element
, but it is not an element in itself, but if you want to catalyze it into an ancient dragon, you need to apply a powerful elemental infection. The elemental dragon cannot withstand the elemental infection on a normal flesh and blood body.
In order to find a powerful but not violent elemental infection that the elemental dragon could accept, the Shurimans finally chose to first create high-purity pure elements, and then use the infective radiation of the pure elements.
, come and baptize the elemental dragon.
Infectious radiation appeared around Ixoken's Tower of Elements. Either the Ixtal people were using the monolith to baptize an elemental dragon with elements, or they were breaking down the monolith to obtain its energy.
Combining this with the previous experiences of Kassadin and Ezreal in Ixtar, Kalya reluctantly came to a conclusion that he least wanted to see.
Ixtar, who inherited most of the monolithic elements from the Shurima Empire, regarded this power as a new "solar disk".
As a result, Kalya had to prepare for "protective rescue".
……………………
Protective rescue is very important.
But studying the monolith is ultimately just Lux's "spare time."
During office hours, Lux still has to worry about Forsbarrow's integration strategy - even after the previous experience, with the population explosion of the three cities of Forsbarrow, Xinfucheng and Xinfugang,
The management difficulty has also been increasing exponentially.
Thanks to her receiving the baptism of celestial energy and having reliable helpers around her, Forsbarrow's multi-level clerk structure was able to maintain the smooth operation of the integrated strategy.
During this period, the capital of Demacia held a very grand emperor-proclaiming ceremony, and Jarvan IV crowned himself just like others.
At this point, the Kingdom of Demacia has become a thing of the past, and now is the era of the Demacia Empire.
After the kingdom was promoted to an empire, the first thing he did was to reward meritorious deeds. Jarvan IV changed his previous aggressive attitude towards the nobles and did not adopt a governor-general system. Instead, he maintained the power of religious interpretation and military organization.
He acquired the noble fiefdom of Demacia and upgraded it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the same time, the nobles of Demacia have also received promotions to their titles. Although Jarvan IV did not seek the title of king, the nobles who just retired not long ago
Peter Crownguard and Barrett Bouvier, who held the purse strings for the kingdom, were promoted to dukes.
It seems that everyone benefits from this big wave of promotions, but if you take a closer look at the promotion list, you will find that in the entire Northern Territory, among the three northern towns of Owendale, Mithril City and Forsbarrow, there are only
The lord of Fosbarrow remained motionless.
Moreover, what is even more interesting is that, except for Peter Crownguard, Lord of Mithril City, and Gunther Rimmer, Lord of Erwendale, many Northern Lords have not been promoted.
In other words, in the entire Northern Territory, the only people who have been promoted are Peter Crownguard and Gunsel Rimmer, as well as some barons who are insignificant and whose fiefdoms are better than nothing.
The meaning of targeting is obvious.
In response, the northern nobles who originally had a subtle psychological burden on "recruiting civilians from the south" quickly let go - since Forsbarrow can attract the civilians under his rule, he should also be able to
Attracting civilians from the south!
As for the southern aristocracy, which has a higher title and arrogantly overwhelms itself?
We in the Northern Territory have always played our own games. If you don't go to the dance in Xiongdu, how can you come to the Northern Territory to disgust me?
It was also when the contradiction between the north and the south of Demacia was gradually becoming apparent, and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger little by little, that shocking news reached the capital.
Demacia's Shurima caravan encountered an ambush on the Ningwu Road. All the goods were lost, and only ten of the escorting soldiers were left. Only Taric and several elite Dauntless Vanguards managed to break through. With the support of the rangers, they narrowly escaped death.
