The New Year is approaching, and the cold wind is blowing in the north.
But perhaps because Avnia had woken up, the overwhelming coldness did not get stronger.
A strange-looking "carriage" slowly drove out of Cold Wind City. The heavy carriage made two conspicuous ruts in the snow. The carriage's tires were very wide, allowing it to pass smoothly on the snow.
A row of people stood on the tall city wall watching Chai Anping and Lux go north.
"Leader Galen, why don't you persuade Laxana to stay and return south with you?"
Walsh leaned on his scepter and chuckled.
Galen's face was calm and he just shook his head slightly. Despite Lux's weak appearance, it was actually difficult to change what he believed.
"Gracie can protect her."
With their blessings, Chai Anping drove on the boundless snowfield. There was not even a decent passage in sight, because there were no merchants north of Demacia, so it was inaccessible.
Fortunately, the large vehicle that Ike and his team modified was designed with multi-terrain in mind, so it was not difficult to drive into the snow. Even if it got stuck in the snow, he could pull the vehicle out with one hand.
Lux in the co-pilot was studying the map of the snowfield, but of course she was just bored.
This trip may include a dangerous trip to the Freljord Icefield. She successfully persuaded Chai Anping to let her go together, but she also had to correct her mentality. From the moment they left Coldwind City, they were not traveling but having an adventure.
.
The destination of their trip was Avarosa's station, but since Avarosa and Winter's Claw were at war, their route had to be carefully considered.
It would be embarrassing to rush headlong into the middle of someone else's battlefield.
Chai Anping had many purposes in going to the snowfield this time. Those legendary ancient gods were also his targets. After the omens of theft were much more controllable, he had never triggered his abilities on some insignificant people. Now he is really interested in them.
The ones who are useful must be those demigods.
In addition, since Lux has followed, he is also determined to train Lux's abilities.
She has a unique magical talent. It would be a waste to live under his wings all the time. It is not expected that she can directly bear the will of Ionia like Syndra and grow up to protect her.
He was satisfied with Demacia.
According to the original trajectory of the world, Lux would also become a star after Demacia fell into war.
"Gracie, do you think we have a chance to see Avonia this time?" Lux said with longing.
"Huh? It depends on whether they are willing to show up!"
He replied casually: "Are you curious?"
"This is a kind god! If you can see it, you will definitely look forward to it, right?" Lacus said with cross eyes: "Aren't those religious groups in China praising gods all day long..."
"Aren't the religious orders in Demacia basically all followers of the Protoss?" Chai Anping asked curiously.
"Aren't the stars the gods?!"
"Clam……"
Chai Anping nodded noncommittally upon hearing this: "In terms of the essence of power, there is indeed no difference."
Demacia is a mortal country where people generally believe in the gods of Targon, and there are many folk customs and festivals related to it.
The distribution of the entire continent of Valoran is quite interesting. Demacia and Freljord in the west of the continent have firm beliefs, while Noxus in the east has much less reverence for the gods because their country has annexed so many people.
Too much culture, is it a hodgepodge? The authorities don’t care much about these illusory beliefs.
The only thing they fear is power.
Ionia is also different from the two. The small land independent of Valoran respects "the harmonious coexistence of man and nature" more. The influence of gods is also very small.
As for the southern continent, was it already the base camp of Mount Targon? Not to mention it after Shurima disappeared into the wind and sand.
The religious atmosphere there is not much better than that of Freljord? But there are also many problems hidden on that continent? For example, the darkspawn who can kill the protoss...
Chai Anping knew many secrets, but they were also full of one-sidedness, which he felt deeply after meeting Feng Nu and Fiddlesticks.
Maybe he can find the answer in this ancient land.
"Anivia..."
He grinned: "Maybe there will be a chance to see her."
"Eh--"
Lux responded with a perfunctory sound, the ending sound was long and unexpectedly a bit Japanese poi.
Chai Anping also said a long "Hey".
Isn't the magic carriage driving fast on the snow? After driving for a few hours, he suddenly felt that even his own physique was being dazzled before his eyes.
"Are sunglasses a must-have item in the snow?" he thought to himself.
"Lux? Are you staring out the window all the time? Aren't your eyes sore?"
"Huh? No way!"
The future light mage said that the ultraviolet rays reflected by the snow are not sprinkled with water?
Upon hearing this, Chai Anping silently activated his alchemical magic power, creating a thin curtain of light in his field of vision.
Although such a small amount of light will definitely not hurt your eyes, the discomfort will not be discounted.
"What kind of magic is this?" Lux asked curiously, reaching out to poke it.
"This is a perspective mirror. With just a glance, you can penetrate the fabric and see directly inside." Chai Anping turned his head and raised an eyebrow at her.
"How come you have such a wretched ability?"
Lux obviously didn't believe it, but she still pinched him.
Chai Anping had no choice but to tell him some problems that might be caused by sunlight reflecting from the snow. This is an invisible hazard that ordinary people must be careful about. If they are not careful, it may burn the retina and cause "snow blindness".
"Then do everyone in the Freljord have to cover their eyes?!"
"Uh uh... maybe the structure of people's eyes is different?"
He also wanted to think that there might be something wrong with the girl's eyes, but after looking at Lux's beautiful eyes, he comforted himself that it was not a problem at all.
Magic power can transform a mortal's body. This change is usually difficult to detect and will only happen subtly, and even after the transformation, there may not be any strange functions.
But all in all, it makes the mage more suitable for the magic he uses.
For example, Lux's eyes are not afraid of all kinds of light, and even she didn't notice the change.
It would be a great pity for some unlucky people who were transformed by magic into inhuman appearances.
"ah……"
Chai Anping stopped the car and stretched out. No matter what state you are in, you will feel tired after driving for a long time!
Therefore, you should not drive too frequently, otherwise your body will...
Huh?
Chai Anping put away his strange and divergent thoughts and said:
"Let's go to the front of the snow slope to have a rest and have something to eat."
