Lux's Farewell

758 [0747] A wonderful reunion

Karya doesn't think Qiyana recognizes her.

Although Karya wears a mask, in Ixtar, masks, masks and veils are very common popular elements, and even walking on the street, you can still see more colorful Vedalian fabrics, this element The materialized textiles even have a hint of cyberpunk in the artistic style, so this level of camouflage by Kalya is simply not unusual.

Carefully recalling the series of actions she took after she came to Ixtar, Karya didn't think that anything would lead to her identity being exposed, so after thinking about it, maybe Qiyana's main target should be Shivana.

Or, what she fancy is her experience of "sneaking outside the rainforest".

So, this salon might be a good opportunity... maybe?
........................

Three days later, according to the time and address on the invitation letter, Carya successfully entered the venue of this salon.

Although it is said to be a salon, in fact this event is closer to a large buffet - there is no sitting down and talking, only the rich food on the long table.

And between the long table and the personal dining table, many uniformly dressed people wearing Yun Tal fabric robes run around like butterflies, and often after sitting down at a certain position, they only need to whisper a few words. In a word, the other party will follow him and leave, and then go to the back room.

These people left the room with mixed expressions of joy and sadness. Some were beaming with joy, some were depressed, and a few seemed to be in a good mood and even had time to chat at the next table.

Then, when Kalya was observing the movements of other people and tasting the various foods on the long table, a tall man in a uniform sat opposite him.

"Mr. Yaka, good day." The other party's words were very polite, but his attitude was quite aggressive, "I hope you like today's dinner, but I'm afraid I have to interrupt your meal, because Her Royal Highness Ten Princess waiting for you... her time is precious."

While speaking, the other party straightened his arms and made a gesture of please.

Kalya didn't care. After nodding slightly, she stood up calmly and walked directly to the room without leading the way.

In the room, Qiyana was drinking water—or tea.

After Karya entered the room, the subduing party quickly closed the door behind him. They didn't come in, but stayed outside, as if they were using their actions to prove the confidentiality of this conversation.

"Yaka...Mr." Putting down the teacup, Qiyana glanced down, then raised her head and looked at Karya, "I'm glad you can come to this salon."

"This doesn't look like a salon." Kalya's acting skills are quite online, and she looks like a foreigner who has been coerced to this point and dares not speak out. "It's just a salon for Her Royal Highness, and I have no room for rejection." That's all."

"Relax, Mr. Yaka." Qiyana shook her head lightly, "The elemental dragon is just an excuse. If you care about that dragon very much, then I can apologize for it."

Karya narrowed her eyes.

"To me, Mr. Yaka is much more important than that beast." Qiyana seemed to be praising Karya, but the arrogance in her words was like the thorns of a porcupine, which made people feel uncomfortable. "After all, in this ancient country, few people are willing to leave the shelter of the Tower of Elements and go outside to have a look."

"..."

Carya didn't speak.

"Mr. Yaka, don't be too nervous." Qiyana obviously misunderstood the reason for his silence, and continued to say to herself, "Although the decision of the Element Council cannot be violated, in fact, when it is implemented, some small accommodations It’s also harmless, otherwise it’s not me who invited you to talk, but the element inspector.”

"Sorry, Your Royal Highness, I don't know what you mean." Kalya could only shake his head, "I have always been law-abiding, and there is no reason for the elemental inspection to find me."

"You'd better be like this." The other party snorted, "Then, let's assume that you really obey the law."

"..."

"Mr. Yaka, who is law-abiding, please explain where the Shurima-style grammar and rhetoric that are so natural in your words come from-there is no one in Yun Tal's archives that you have studied the history of Shurima Record."

Karya kept her mouth shut, as if intending to use silence as a countermeasure.

"I have always looked highly at those who are willing to leave Ixtar to have a look outside, and bring back things that are outside and not in Ixtar." Seeing that Kalya stopped talking, Chia Na's tone became more and more cheerful, as if she was sure that she could handle the other party, "I know, Mr. Yaka should still love this country."

"As a person from Ixtar." Carya replied bluntly, "Naturally, I should love Ixtar."

"But now, Ixtar is sick." Qiyana ignored Kalyana's blunt tone and restrained her arrogant attitude a little bit, "The Elemental Council has changed from conservative to stubborn. They can't see the changes of the times. To stick to the jungle, even Icacia has a tendency to rise again, and even those ignorant outsiders have extraordinary power."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"You've been to the Barren Hills, haven't you?"

Karya nodded slightly.

"Then you should know that Nashilame has been taken over by a group of barbarians from the north." Qiyana narrowed her eyes, "They are a group of barbarians who were once considered only to do vulgar things in remote places, And now, they have reached out to Shurima."

"But their footsteps can't enter the jungle, and they can't even affect Kumanggra." Karya shook his head lightly, "His Royal Highness, I don't know what great ideals and plans you have, but I believe that Everything is based on your pride as Her Royal Highness, you are a descendant of Nezuk and the master of Ixtar, and I am just a country bumpkin from Parosa, destined to have nothing to do with these great things. "

"No, it is closely related to everyone." Seeing that Kalya seemed to make it clear that she didn't want to give up on it, Qiyana didn't mean to give up, "If you can leave the jungle, tame the elemental dragon and drive it back here, then It means that you have proved yourself, and although it seems to be deviant in the eyes of those old antiques, at least in my opinion, this kind of deviant can represent the future of Ixtar, and even the future of Shurima."

Karya's eyes widened, as if stunned by Qiyana's words.

"The changes in this world are far beyond your imagination, even if you have stepped out." Qiyana continued, "If Ixtar continues to stand still, then our future can only be completely destroyed in this deep green ocean. drown."

"That's not something I should think about." Swallowing hard, Kalya still put on a look of not being tempted, but after hesitating for a moment, he seemed worried about causing the other party's displeasure, so his tone remained the same. Loosened a lot, "However, if Her Royal Highness the Tenth Princess needs any help... I will do my best."

"That's enough." Qiyana seemed quite satisfied with this level of statement, "Someone will contact you later, if you still want to leave the rainforest, they will also provide you with help, help each other, for Ixtar."

As she spoke, she handed a letter to Karya, and then waved her hand to signal that he could leave.

The next moment, the closed door was opened, and the gazes of the people in robes all fell on Karya.

So, Carya took the letter, stood up tremblingly, and left the room, and these people also started to rush to the next unlucky person.

After returning to his position, Kalya began to eat and drink as if taking revenge, but while eating and drinking, he was also paying attention to the surrounding situation from the corner of his eye, looking at those who entered the room, left out of the room.

While looking around, he found a very familiar figure.

If Kayal is not mistaken, the person who is tall, dressed in a slightly different style from Ixtar, and who is about to enter that room to talk to Qiyana in detail... is in the tower that Demacia has not seen for a long time gram.

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

Karya was not mistaken, Tariq did appear in the capital of Ixtar, Ixaucan.

However, unlike Kalya, who was really invited, Tariq's "invited" was in quotation marks.

Yes, Tariq was sort of brought here under escort.

As for why the protoss, who used to be the guardian of the giant gods, were escorted to Ixoken... This is a long story.

The matter began when Tarik left Demacia.

At that time, with the emergence of Kumanggra and Karduga, Demacia's grain sales in Shurima suddenly fell into a cold spell. Taric, who had a lot of experience, volunteered to learn about the situation of these two important food producing areas in Shurima, so as to provide help for Jarvan IV's next plan.

Departing from Xiongdu, Tariq first arrived at Nashiramme by boat, and then transferred to the boat and continued eastward. It took less than a month to successfully arrive at Kalduga and began to conduct field investigations .

In the windless zone of Calduga, Tariq saw a completely different food production method from Demacia. There was no intensive farming by a large number of farmers, but instead there were many special magic devices that he could not understand.

Taric had never seen these things that could move on their own. At most, they were occasionally mentioned in some explorer's novels as organs that guarded the ancient tombs of Shurima.

If I have to say it... It seems that the large machinery used to load and unload cargo in Vazuan Port is somewhat similar to them.

However, in Kalduga, these things are widely used in agricultural production - plus Kalduga is located on the seaside of Kalduga Bay, where the ocean current is stable, there is almost no monsoon, the climate is warm and humid, and the rain and heat are at the same time The suitable climate and the widely used agricultural magic machinery allow the people of Karduga to maintain the reclamation and maintenance of a large area of ​​land with a small amount of manpower.

In order to find out the scale of agriculture in Karduga, Tariq stayed in Karduga for a full three months. During this period, he was surprised to find that the main way for the Karduga people to reclaim land was actually to open up wasteland.

After harvesting a piece of farmland, they will quickly abandon it, even though this piece of land is swallowed up by the Kumanggu Forest in the south and west, and they will go to reclaim a jungle elsewhere for planting.

With the help of magic, their land reclamation looks easy and freehand. They don't need to set fire or cut down trees. They only need a ceremony that Tariq can't understand, and a rainforest can be cleared.

What is even more surprising is that in Karduga, in recent years, many wealthy Wazuan businessmen have tried to invest in the reclamation here, but no matter how much effort they have spent, the reclaimed rainforest is very barren; After Kalduga's land reclamation ceremony, the land where the jungle faded was extremely fertile, and holding a handful of soil in his hands seemed to be able to squeeze out oil.

Tariq himself can also use simple spell-like abilities, but he has not studied magic systematically, so he has no idea what that mysterious land reclamation ceremony means.

Tariq, who didn't understand this aspect, could only change the direction of his investigation resentfully in the end, and began to study how much land could be cultivated around Kalduga, and the situation of grain production per mu in the case of industrialization of magic.

However, before his investigation had any results, an accident changed his target of action—he discovered the key to the operation of those huge magical machines!
If you want those big guys to move, you need a kind of black stone, as long as you put that kind of stone in a specific groove, it will work, automatically turn the soil, and automatically harvest!
Under such circumstances, Tariq naturally became interested in that black stone.

As a result, Taric began to consciously pay attention to the black stone when he continued to operate in Kalduga.

During this process, he found that this kind of stone did not seem to be a local specialty of Kalduga, but was sent to Kalduga by some means—but after researching it for a long time in Kalduga port, Tariq did not find any stones. There is news about the entry of this stone into Hong Kong.

Could this kind of stone be dug out from the depths of the rainforest?

Full of doubts, Tariq changed the direction of the investigation, and the results were indeed quite amazing.

By chance, he witnessed a transaction about that kind of black stone.

A caravan from the depths of the rainforest exchanged this black stone for a large amount of gold from the Kaldugans!
Tariq chose to follow the caravan—and then, once in the rainforest, he was attacked by living plants.

Even for Tariq, those barbed vines and huge treants were very difficult opponents. When he managed to get rid of these living plants and planned to stop following them, the caravan had already surrounded him.

　I watched half of the game while having dinner, and ended up seeing the 10 minutes of Tao Bo's shooting of Dalong, watching them send themselves away from the eight thousand economic advantage, it just made me sick.

　　What evil did I do...
