Between questions and answers, Kalya and Lux talked a lot - about labor, about rewards, about sense of accomplishment, about self-satisfaction, etc.
Lux gained a lot, but when she began to think carefully and digest it slowly, the fatigue of carrying water for a day finally came over her.
His eyelids became heavy, his thinking became sluggish, and soon, an almost unnoticeable snoring sounded, and then dissipated in the breeze.
The breeze blew the two sleeping little girls, and the blue bird that was jumping on the table suddenly opened its wings - it pulled out a forbidden magic stone slab from Lux's luggage, and then used its own flexibility to
The bird's beak was carefully carved on it, and a simple magic circuit was quickly completed at an astonishing speed.
The blue bird used its small body and an astonishing gesture to grab the magic-forbidden stone slab and came to Lux's side.
After hovering around the sleeping Lux for several times, it finally placed the slate on the bedside and rested it on Lux's sword.
The next moment, as the blue bird spread its wings and disappeared into the wind, a wind elf revealed himself.
She summoned a gust of breeze, causing Lux to wrap herself up in a quilt subconsciously, and Enoshu to frown. Then the breeze blew out of the window, blowing towards the streets and alleys of Zaun, blowing countless wind chimes.
, blowing straight to the Gate of the Sun, causing microwaves to appear on the sea surface.
After finishing all this, Janna gently leaned down and put her handprint on the magic-forbidden stone slab.
Then, at the simulation training ground that Lux was most familiar with, on the sand dune where Kalya was located, a slim figure appeared next to Kalya.
"Kalya." Janna leaned her staff on the sand dune and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of her, "Is she your choice that has been silent for thousands of years? A new Setaka?"
"This is my choice." Without any hesitation, Kalya seemed to have known that Janna would come. He quickly gave his answer, "Her name is Lux, not Setaka."
"But they are very similar." Janna let out a low laugh, and the gravel also danced in her laughter. "They are all standing in front of you and listening to you, a dog-headed strategist."
"The dog-headed strategist is Nasus, not me." Kalya spread her hands and retorted seriously, "Besides, she is not standing in front of me yet."
"Actually, I have always been confused, Kalya." Janna did not hesitate with Lux, but changed the subject and talked about Kalya, "Why have you been rejecting eternity? If you are willing to go further...
"
"As the wind of change, you should know it very well." Kalya replied in a low voice, "Eternity and human nature are inherently in conflict. Eternity always means that you have enough time, but time is the most ruthless."
"Is this how you felt after becoming an Ascended One?" Janna shook her head, noncommittal to Kalya's words, "Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Now, what kind of changes are you going to set off in Zaun?
Where is the wind?"
"It's just starting from scratch." Kalya chuckled, "I once thought that the fire of civilization would never be extinguished as long as it was ignited, but I always greedily hoped that it would burn more vigorously and more intensely."
"Even if you become firewood?" Janna sighed softly, "When I saw you before, you were not like this. At that time, you were extremely confident and seemed to think that you would never fail. It seemed that everything was fine.
It's within your control."
"I have been preparing." Kalya avoided the topic of his past self and murmured in a low and firm voice, "As long as Blue Bird is willing to bring my voice to more people..."
"Well, you are still so confident." Janna smiled, "It's just that your confidence seems to be different from before."
"It is often difficult for people who are at a high level to see the true nature of things. They think they can control everything and are eager for quick success and instant benefits. In the end, everything just falls apart and history comes back." Kalya grabbed a handful of gravel and let the finely crushed yellow
The sand slowly flowed down from his fingers, "If possible, I wish I was not so confident in the past... I always thought that everything was planned, and that if the next step was successful, everything would be solved, but it was very difficult.
I rarely sit quietly on the sand dunes, and rarely listen to the misty breeze like before."
"It's really unimaginable that one day I will be here to listen to Kalya confessing to his past self." Janna said a not-so-funny wisecrack, "Although he is not candid as always, and clearly regrets it to death, but he only uses vague words.
The language of self-pity..."
"Okay, it's almost done." Kalya threw away the sand, "There's no time to be sad about the spring and autumn. The curtain of Zaun has just opened. We need to focus on business - talk to me carefully.
,How far along are the Noxians’ actions?”
"I'm afraid they are consciously looking for information related to the world's runes." Janna did not continue teasing, "I don't know how they discovered the traces of Calican's laboratory, but what is certain is that the Noxians did
We spent a lot of money and even hired regular members of the Explorers Association to look for traces of the laboratory."
"So, they only know a general direction?"
"Absolutely, but according to your current digging speed, I'm afraid it won't be long before they find the problem."
"By the time they find out, we will have already taken control of the laboratory." Kalya regained his confidence again, "I know that guy Kalikan, and his laboratory must have super-standard defense measures..."
"Really?" Behind Kalya, Janna raised her eyebrows, "Unfortunately, I feel that Kalikan will always give you a surprise... maybe?"
"In that case." Kalya smiled slightly, "I'll wait and see."
"..."
"..."
The two old friends chatted casually for a long time in Kalya's world, on that small sand dune, until the magic power of the forbidden magic stone tablet was exhausted.
The wind elf on the dune left Kalya's little world and turned back into the jumping blue bird on the table.
Kalya looked at the desolation in front of him and sighed softly.
In front of him, the flying gravel had unconsciously gathered into a majestic city.
And with this sigh, the city turned into dust and smoke.
At the same time, the magic-forbidden slate beside Lux's bed, together with the city made of sand, turned to ashes quietly, and then was swept away by the cool night wind, gathering in the morning haze of Zaun.
