Lux's Farewell

At Kalya's request, Lacus, Ino and Sona began to think about "unexpected" things.

This kind of hypothetical reasoning will be meaningless to a large extent, but in Karya's view, this kind of reasoning and thinking is its meaning-in fact, even if Karya's education can be regarded as eager for quick success, But in the face of the ever-changing situation in Fossbarrow, these three little girls will still clearly feel their immaturity, and this is the best way Kalya can think of as a supplement.

If he can follow, Kalya believes that Ino's journey will not have any problems, but it is a pity that Kalya still has many tasks on Fossbarrow's side that he can't get away from.

Whether it is the construction of the artificial river after winter, the courses of the Fossbarrow Magic Improvement Class, or the off-site guidance of some professional groups, all of these require Karya to stay in Fossbarrow. In this case, It is impossible for him to leave anyway, and follow Ino across the ocean to travel around half of Runeterra.

For Kalya, who has always planned to move later, letting Ino set off on his own this time may be the most risky move he has made since meeting Lacus. In order to reduce the risk as much as possible, he ended the hypothetical reasoning. Afterwards, apart from some necessary work, Karya has been providing one-on-one tutoring to Ino.

Regardless of whether Ino could write it down or not, Kalya gave her a lot of knowledge in one go.

At the same time, Fossbarrow was also preparing for Ino's departure.

Ino, who represents Fossbarrow, obviously shouldn't travel alone, so Lacus will prepare a mission for her. This mission needs to be responsible for guards, documents, records, guides, intelligence and other tasks to help Ino complete this task. one trip.

For this reason, Shyvana also flew a special trip to the Freljord, and brought back a few intelligence personnel who already had a lot of experience in several places such as Frost Harbor and Frozen Tide Harbor.

In order to adapt to a more complex environment, several different types of mages and some shape-changers with vastaya blood were also stuffed into this mission. They will help the team collect information in different environments.

In addition, Lux also found Fiona and asked her if she would be willing to serve as the guard of this "special mission".

Fiona, who is eager to see more kinds of swordsmanship, readily accepts this. She will select five highly skilled people from Fossbarrow's private army as the guards of the mission, and set off with Ino to join to this great trip.

Half a month passed quickly, and a team of 30 envoys assembled in Fossbarrow City.

In the mission, Ino is the envoy and leader, who is responsible for overseeing travel and diplomatic affairs, and under her, there are members with their own division of labor-three people in charge of document records, six in charge of team guards, various There are 11 elemental mages, three Vasta shape changers, four experienced intelligence personnel, and a space caster and a time spell caster as joint guides.

In order to support Ino's mission this time, Lacus can be said to have mobilized all the elites of Fossbarrow. Except for some people who cannot be spared (such as Fuquelin's team), she selected the best from all directions. , and finally together with Ino, 30 people got together.

After a period of running-in, the team finally set off in the early autumn when it was a bit chilly. After a short farewell, they left Forsbarrow.

Not many people knew they were leaving, but when they set off, Lacus and Sona stood on the top of the city in person, and they didn't return to their posts until their figures disappeared.

"Ino's going to have a nice trip, right?"

"Of course, there are wind elemental mages in the team, and they will definitely go with the wind."

"Don't be so smart at this time, my dear teacher Kalya."

"This is not to be smart, but to explain the objective facts - well, the time of vulnerability is over, now, go back to your post, you can't rest now, Lux!"

........................

The mission team led by Ino seems to have left without any disturbance. Except for a few core figures, most people don't know what the trip of this team means.

For the current Fossbarrow, most people are more concerned about the winter preparations this autumn.

Due to the tundra zone in the north, Fossbarrow has almost no large-scale agriculture-permafrost planting is not an easy task. Around Fossbarrow, there are many areas that seem to be good fields. , it may be able to be planted this year, and it will become a thermal melt lake next spring after the ice disappears and the snow melts.

For the planting industry, this is undoubtedly an extremely serious problem. If you want to carry out large-scale planting, you will have to start land reclamation almost every year. The workload is so heavy that it is simply unacceptable.

In addition, the winter in Forsbarrow is long and cold. Even the winter wheat that can be grown in Mihril City cannot survive the winter smoothly in Forsbarrow, and it will directly freeze to death. If you are engaged in planting here, you can only grow one season a year .

The superposition of geographical and climatic factors has led to the fact that almost no one in Fossbarrow is willing to engage in planting even in the part of Demacia, a large agricultural country. When autumn comes, it counts as much as you can harvest.

It's not that the Fossbarrow people are unwilling to farm, it's because the conditions don't allow it!
Since it is impossible to cultivate, Fossbarrow people can only hoard supplies in other ways if they want to survive the winter. After all, Fossbarrow's winter climate is cold, and it is almost impossible to carry out traditional hunting and gathering work.

In terms of overwintering food, pickles naturally have their own unique advantages.

Fossbarrow does not lack salt, there are many types of spices, and the meat production is still sufficient, so when it comes to cured meat, Fossbarrow people are very good at it, and many parts that are difficult to eat directly, after two After a second processing, it will become a delicious delicacy on the Forsbarrow people's winter table.

And this year, with the arrival of His Excellency Earl Laxana, some people who claim to be "diving hunters" came to Forsbarrow from the Freljord in the north.

Although Eno and Grandma Walrus have reached a cooperation, this year these members of Walrus' Tusk still cannot directly enter the city of Fossbarrow. port, and named it bluntly Newport.

And the first group of members of the Walrus' Tusk tribe who migrated here have since added the title of "Xingang people".

The Fossbarrows are wary of the Freljords, but fortunately, although the members of Walrus' Tusk are also Freljords, they are very few Freljord producers. Although there are cultural differences, but get along at least fairly harmonious.

I don't know where the news that "the sea fish caught by Xingang people is very healthy" came from, but many Forsbarrow people are willing to try these sea fish that they have never tried before.

Through the original trade method of bartering, sea fish caught in Xingang gradually appeared on the tables of the Fossbarrow people. The plump sea fish is rich in fat, which is the supreme delicacy for the Fossbarrow people. After trying it, many Forsbarrow people fell in love with these gifts of the deep sea.

In the same way, Xingang people are also very interested in many things produced by Forsbarrow, cheap drinks, never-before-seen tobacco, various spices, useful daily necessities...these are all Xingang people I like things very much.

After the barter exchange between the two parties reached a certain scale, the Archon opened up a special place in Xingang as a market for transactions.

After several months of adaptation, Xingang people finally accepted Demacia's currency gradually, and believed that these metal pieces could buy the daily necessities, food and drinks they needed, and this also represented that they had really begun to integrate into the Demacia currency. In the order of Fossbarrow.

With the addition of these Xingang people, in the winter purchases of the Forsbarrow people this year, an option of pickled fish has quickly been added to the list of pickles.

Compared with cured meat, pickled fish has higher fat content, which is more helpful for overwintering and resisting the cold, and I heard that Xingang people can also fish in winter, and perhaps in winter, Fossbarrow can still eat it Maybe even fresh fish.

Of course, whether it is pickled fish or fresh fish, these are supplementary non-staple foods. For Fossbarrow people, the most important thing is the staple food if they want to fill their stomachs during the winter.

As mentioned earlier, Fossbarrow cannot be planted on a large scale, so Fossbarrow's main food depends on trade-in fact, after the summer trade of Fossbarrow every year, there will be a caravan organization The autumn trade is mainly to buy a large amount of grain from a little to the south.

The price of grain in Demacia has always been cheap, especially in the autumn when new grain is harvested. Fossbarrow people have never been very picky about food, and they don't care about new grain and old grain. They can be called scavengers in the north, so they It is often possible to buy enough grain for the winter at a relatively low price.

But this winter, because of Lord Laxana, the scale of autumn trade is far greater than before, and besides the wheat that Fossbarrow people usually eat, oats also flow out from the collective cafeteria, and gradually become popular among the people. up.

It is also interesting to say that although the Fossbarrow people are relatively poor, cheap oats seldom appear on their tables before the arrival of Lux. Developed, and lack of contact with several major oat producing areas; on the other hand, it is because of the lack of ways to eat oats.

In addition to adding water to cook porridge, the Fossbarrow people have hardly found a second way to eat oats, which makes oats have always been "marginal" in Forsbarrow.

However, because the Avarosans needed a lot of oats in the Freljord trade, a large amount of oats flowed into Fossbarrow. Most of these oats were packaged to go north, and a small part was sent to collective canteens , became an important member of the three meals a day of the Archon and the private army of Forsbarrow.

The life of the last oatmeal and the next oatmeal caused a lot of complaints, so Lux also held a special meeting to improve the quality of the collective canteen—after that, the proportion of oatmeal in the collective canteen decreased, and began to Appearing together with dairy products, it forms the classic combination of oatmeal and milk.

Forsbarrow's dairy production is not high, but Pozaka in the south is the most important livestock production area in Demacia. In the past, the Fossbarrow people didn't have much money to buy expensive and difficult to transport dairy products. If you don’t have enough fresh milk, you can buy some cheese and cheese at most, as a usual adjustment.

But with the arrival of Earl Laxana, the situation began to change. Lord Pozaka, who had not cared about Fossbarrow before, took the initiative to establish a relatively fixed trade relationship with Fossbarrow, and according to Earl Laxana At your request, a fresh milk channel for transporting fresh milk has been opened.

Compared with other dairy products, the price of fresh milk is relatively cheap in pastoral areas.

After the fresh milk channel was established, there were special people among the Archons who were responsible for heating and freezing the fresh milk, and then packed the panna cotta and shipped it to Fossbarrow within three days.

Although the milk that has gone through the process of heating, quick freezing, and reheating has lost the taste of fresh milk, it still tastes great when combined with oats—it was at this time that the training for the clerks officially started. Together with the clerk, the combination with milk has entered thousands of households in Forsbarrow.

After the Archon made a promise that "the passage of fresh milk will not be broken in winter", many Fossbarrow people also added cheap oats to their list of winter supplies.

Then, when they look back at their wintering supplies, they will be surprised to find that compared to last year, the above items have been enriched by more than 01:30 points.

For most of the Fossbarrow people, eating enough in winter and surviving the winter smoothly is the greatest gratification throughout the year, and if there is a choice in diet in the most difficult winter, it is a proper and happy life up.

In this way, when the people of Fossbarrow prepared the supplies they needed for wintering this year, they felt for the first time Earl Laxana and the changes that the Archon brought to Fossbarrow.

This kind of change is not big, but it is only in a better direction, and it is also in the direction of benefiting everyone. Compared with the past, people in Forsbarrow this winter have more choices on the table, and more oil and protein. Richness, the income of herb pickers and miners has increased, and the price of fur in the market has also decreased...

From the Fossbarrow point of view, this is happiness.

Finally, when the breath of Anivia finally came from the north, the clerk knocked on the doors of each house in Fossbarrow, and Lacus was about to stand on the podium again and give her own message. First year-end summary.
