Lux's Farewell

In the eyes of outsiders, the Kumanggu rainforest is a barren land, without fertile land, convenient transportation, favorable climate and other conditions that are unique in the eyes of ordinary people.

Therefore, all businessmen who come to Kumanggra to import food will wonder why the Kumanggra people have such a serious hometown complex. It seems that Kumanggra, surrounded by rainforest, is their soul home and they are absolutely unwilling to leave.

Whenever they asked the Kumanggra grain merchants they knew well in their spare time when the porters were carrying the grain on board the boat, the other party would just laugh at this moment, even if they had a hot face at the wine table yesterday and how they called each other brothers. , polite without losing a sense of alienation.

It seems that there is some ulterior treasure hidden in that hot and humid forest full of deadly mosquitoes and terrible animals and plants.

It is for this reason that many explorers list the "lost treasures" in the Kumang Ancient Rainforest on their dream lists, but those who really do it are often shocked when they enter the Kumang Ancient Rainforest. I found that it doesn't look like there is any treasure here.

Those explorers who think that the Kumanggu Forest, which looks humid, hot, and full of mosquitoes, have hidden caves will only find out after actually entering it. It turns out that this place...is really just humid, hot, and full of mosquitoes.

Even though they were ruthless and formed a small expedition team, after those explorers went five hundred miles into the rainforest, they still found out in despair that there was really only the rainforest here.

Later, the Kumanggra people's secretive and playful smile became a collective joke in the eyes of "knowledgeable people". There is no longer any guy who has nothing to do to explore the depths of Kumanggu. Expedition activities within the entire rainforest Almost all of them are concentrated near the estuary delta of the Mang River, and within a hundred miles of the coastline.

With this skill, wouldn't it be good to go to the black market in the desert and try to pick up leaks?

Even if you are tricked and tricked by cunning black market peddlers, you can at least get a piece of craftwork from last week, instead of suffering from headaches of parasitic diseases or something you have never seen after entering Kumanggu. The strange toxin that has passed has become a new research topic of the Department of Medicine of the Academy of Science and Advancement.

However, ten years ago, with the publication of the book "Deep Green Ocean", the Kumanggu expedition, which was once unattended, quickly became a top-level project in Vazuan.

Mr. Ezreal, the famous explorer, wrote another great book after "Twenty Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand", which describes in detail his adventure experience in the Kumanggu jungle. The country called Ixtar, he was as secretive as the Kumanggus, and he didn't describe it, but it was this cryptic expression that aroused the explorers' desire to explore.

Some people even took the initiative to dig out the past of Mr. Ezreal. Before the two books "Twenty Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand" and "Dark Green Ocean", this explorer with brilliant blond hair, Still just a rookie.

At that time, the travel notes he wrote could only be described as unsightly. The whole article was full of exaggerated praises for himself and long and smelly foot-binding-like descriptions of his mood at that time, and there would be blunt words between the descriptions. Using some metaphors that only he himself knows is simply more self-indulgent than self-indulgent.

However, after a two-year expedition, Ezreal, who returned to Vazuan, stayed behind closed doors, and quickly sorted out the two books "Twenty Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand" and "Dark Green Ocean" , its style of writing quickly becomes old-fashioned and deep, and even has a bit of a yearning poetic temperament. It can always use some common sayings that seem vulgar but intriguing after deep chewing.

As a result, these two books became an instant hit and became the splendid opening chapters of this adventure master's wonderful exploration career of more than ten years.

After learning about this period of the past, many people secretly suspected that in the legendary Ixtar, Ezreal received an apocalypse, and that apocalypse made him change from an ordinary explorer to Became a gifted master explorer.

No one has proof.

But for explorers, proof is not needed to do something.

As a result, the Kumanggu jungle, which had been silent for a long time, soon ushered in a group of uninvited guests. Many explorers either traveled alone or in teams, carrying a large amount of supplies, all the way deep into the depths of the Kumanggu jungle, along the The path of Master Ezreal began to search for the pearl-like fantasy kingdom in the deep green ocean.

After all, what they saw and heard along the way is completely in line with the records of Master Ezreal in the book. Those dangerous animals and plants, as well as the means used to deal with these dangerous animals and plants, perfectly fit the content of the book It is no exaggeration to say that this "Dark Green Ocean" is "Kumangu Jungle Travel Guide"!
However, at the most critical station, things became a little more subtle.

When the explorers arrived at the place marked in the book of Master Ezreal as "the border of the kingdom of Ixtar", what they saw was not a city hidden in the jungle, but A rainforest like no other.

The unwilling adventurers wandered around, but no matter how they wandered, the result was fruitless.

There is no Ixtar kingdom at all, there is only a lush but monotonous jungle, that's all!

After returning to Vazuan, many unwilling adventurers publicly accused Ezreal of talking nonsense in their travel notes, but at this time his third travel book "Islands in the Shadows" was already online. It is still a big seller, and fans who have already formed a scale, faced the accusations of the explorers, and quickly counterattacked from the reader's point of view.

"In the book "Deep Green Ocean", the part about Ixtar is full of raving words."

"That's right, unlike the other parts that have been confirmed, the part of the Ixtar Kingdom is obviously an illusory experience."

"There is not really an Ixtar. Master Ezreal just used his pen to construct a peaceful and peaceful Ixtar."

"For Master Ezreal, only when he is in the deep green ocean can he truly feel the tranquility and calmness!"

"..."

"..."

In the minds of readers, Ixtar should be a place like a paradise, where the truth is not important, what is important is Master Izreal's desire for this way of life, which is an open-minded and The indifferent attitude towards life is dissatisfaction and ridicule for the Vazuan people's pursuit of fame and fortune.

If you really read this book with your heart, instead of using it as an adventure guide, you should be able to understand what Master Ezreal means. You guys who only know how to question are poor people who are actively mocked by this story!

Regarding the authenticity of the Kingdom of Ixtar, the two sides went back and forth to argue for a long time, but since no one found Ixtar, and other stories of Izreal were exemplified, in the end it was Readers had the upper hand in public opinion, and "Ixtar" even became the paradise of Vazuan for a time.

However, only those Kumang ancients who laughed and said nothing knew that the kingdom of Ixtar in the story was indeed real, and that there was indeed a hidden gem in the depths of the rainforest, which survived thousands of years of wind and frost. Nothing has changed, and to this day, it still regards itself as orthodox of the Shurima Empire.

The reason why the explorers can't find it is because a huge barrier separates the inside and the outside, so that the ignorant outsiders can't find the right way.

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

The wards of Ixtar are also the legacy of the Shurima Empire.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this huge barrier covering almost the entire Ixtar can be said to be one of the top applications of the Shurima Empire's introduction to advanced elements, and it is not inferior in terms of its technical content. For a monolithic fortress that bridged the rift in the void.

Through the control of elemental gradients under natural conditions, Ixtal achieved the coverage of the entire enchantment at the lowest cost, and unlike those enchantments that use rune stones or other anchors, Ixtal's elemental gradient structure There is no anchor in the world, and unless the elemental gradient environment of Ixtar is destroyed, the enchantment will never dissipate.

Moreover, due to the complete spatiality of the elemental gradient, people who don't know Ixtar will not realize that the large forest they see is actually just a cloud-like illusion, even if they look at it from the sky.

So, what kind of key do you need to open this mysterious enchantment?

In fact, it's easy to say, as long as a person on the edge of the barrier has basic perception and control over the elemental gradient, he can discover the existence of the barrier. There will be no problems.

And for Kalya who came to Ixtar, he didn't even need to do it himself—as an elemental dragon, Shyvana naturally had a clear understanding of the elemental gradient.

In other words, in the eyes of the elemental dragons, Ixtal's element gradient enchantment is more like a flickering neon, attracting their attention.

After leaving Demacia, after resting in Vazuan, Shivana carried Karya all the way south, and without much effort, he arrived at the northern border of the Kingdom of Ixtar, Parosa .

Here, Shyvana folded her wings, lowered her figure, and entered the element gradient enchantment. After a moment of elemental chaos, what she saw quickly changed drastically.

The lush dark green rainforest has turned into a carefully cultivated farmland here. When Shivana landed, countless farmers were working hard in the fields.

Choosing a place where no one was around, Kalya turned into a quicksand and jumped down in midair.

Shivana also changed back to human form after landing, and couldn't help twisting her neck and waist—although she is often used as a dragon as a means of transportation, Shivana is still not very used to the form of a giant dragon, and she will not because of this form and feel at ease.

"This seems to be a farmland." When twisting her neck, Shivana's eyes also scanned the surrounding crops, "But these plants... It seems that most of them have never been seen before."

"That's right." Kalya nodded, tore off a green leaf and handed it to Shivana, "Try it."

Shivana took the leaf suspiciously, and then sent it to her mouth as Kalya said—then she was surprised to find that there was a trace amount of elemental flow in the leaf itself.

"Planting elemental plants is not easy." Kalya bent down and carefully observed the plants and fruits of the plant in front of him, "However, Ixtar's breeding has not made any progress for so many years, which makes me A bit disappointed."

Shivana didn't answer, because she didn't know what the tall plant in front of her was.

"It's called Huoliang." Kalya pushed aside the thick leaves, and showed Shivana a bunch of spherical fruits with a color like flames. "It's a very good improved elemental crop. Planted in places with abundant fire elements, it is one of the few staple foods that taste spicy.”

Shyvana blinked her eyes, a little puzzled: "But it doesn't look like there is a volcano here either!"

"Planting elemental crops, in addition to special natural conditions, can also be equivalently replaced by artificial conditions. Take a look here."

With that said, Kalya bent down and pushed aside the carpet-like creep at the roots of the plants.

The next moment, a pungent smell rushed towards his face, and after smelling this smell, Shivana's entire dragon couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"That's right, dragon dung, specifically, it should be the feces of the fire elemental dragon." Kalya covered the creep, "It looks like there should be quite a few elemental dragons in Ixtar now!"

Although Shivana has also seen farmers plowing and fertilizing, and although the humus soil used for hazel mushroom cultivation is more disgusting than dragon dung, as an elemental dragon, Shivana is still somewhat dull after seeing this situation.

"This is good news." Kalya couldn't help but smile when she saw her expression of disbelief, "Since Ixtar uses dragon dung to maintain elemental planting, they should welcome a wild elemental dragon very much." coming."

"Wait, wait a minute!" Shyvana came back to her senses, her expression became even more unbelievable, "You mean, I want to move in the form of a dragon?!"

"That's right." Kalya nodded of course, "Otherwise, do you want me to reveal my identity and parachute into Ixoken with you?"

"..."

Shyvana didn't answer, but judging from her expression, she seemed to think so.

"That's impossible." Looking at her, Kalya couldn't help but sighed, "We don't know how many monoliths Ixtar possesses, let alone whether they welcome an old antique. Not happy, we can't stand the continuous pursuit and bombing of Monolith Fortress."

Shyvana couldn't help frowning when she heard this - based on her understanding of her teacher, since Kalya said that, she must be prepared for a conflict between the two sides.

After all, this sentence can be heard in reverse: "If Ixtar can't control the Monolith Fortress, Kalya is very likely to choose to turn his face on the spot."

Carya's Small Classroom Elemental Crops:
The crystallization of the breeding wisdom of the Shurima Empire, like the pan sheep, is the product of the combination of magical creatures and artificial breeding and planting. Elemental crops have a yield beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but as a price, they require a special elemental environment, and they need to be taken care of. Quite troublesome - they don't need weeding, and generally don't have to worry about pests and diseases, but people need to pay attention to their growth at all times, remove mutant plants in time, and strictly prevent their disorderly expansion.
