LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 52 I am an upright Demacian
The ship that Rowan was on set out from the port of Demacia. In the early morning, it suddenly made a big circle. Then, someone said that they had reached the Conqueror's Sea.

The old crew members on the ship also explained to Rowan how long it would take to reach Shurima. They calmly said, "It will probably take several weeks to reach Uzeris. Along the way, we need to make arrangements and check the situation at sea."

Rowan nodded, followed by Lux, who had taken off her hood and stood beside Rowan in a daze.

The moment Lux boarded the ship, everyone on the ship went crazy. Only after getting the protection of Lux, that is, the response from the Fearless Vanguard soldiers, did they feel relieved.

What a joke! If Laxana Crownguard sneaked out and boarded their ship, then their only choice would be to return quickly and hand Laxana Crownguard over to Tiana Crownguard!
Lady Tiana's doting on Laxana was seen by everyone. Other noble ladies were already at the age of marriage at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and there was no freedom at all. The most typical example was Fiona Laurent. She was strong and beautiful, and had shown amazing swordsmanship talent since she was a child. But even so, didn't Sebastian arrange a marriage for her early on and wanted to marry her off? Although recently, it was rumored that Sebastian was going to regret the marriage.
However, Laxana from the Mianwei family was not arranged to have a marriage. Not only that, but the main point was that she did not have to learn the complicated etiquette of a noble lady!
And the most important thing is Marshal Tiana’s attitude!

Before Laxana came to Xiongdu, if Tiana went to Throne Mountain, she would only return to the manor once every few days. When she went out on a mission or inspected the border, she would not return to Xiongdu for half a month. But what happened after Laxana came to Xiongdu?
Marshal Tiana really runs home every day
It can be seen that although Laxana was not her daughter, she is better than hers!
The Marshal truly raised this blonde lady as his own daughter!
"If you are bored, I suggest you two go fishing, or take advantage of the moonlight to see the sea view. Of course, you may get bored soon, it is really boring on the sea." The soldier who often stays at sea said to Luo Wen with a smile.

Rowan thanked him, then went to the bow with Lux, and the two guards of the Fearless Vanguard followed behind Lux.

Tiana's orders were for them to stay with Lux at all times and protect her closely, so Rowan and Lux ​​had no time to be alone.

The Sea of ​​Conquest, this sea area will emit a strange glow at night. It is not the light of Mount Targon and the moonlight reflected on the sea surface, but the faint glow coming from the bottom of the sea. Rowan and Lux ​​are leaning on the railing, looking at the sea.

"Do you know? I heard that there is a group of mysterious mermaids living under this sea. They have fish tails and scales, and they will exchange supplies with humans on the shore of Mount Targon. They are a group of creatures that look weird but love peace." Lux was giving Rowan a science lesson like a small encyclopedia. She pointed her little hand to a corner where there was a bright blue light. Lux said loudly, "That should be moonstone. I saw it in the travel books and magazines of Mount Targon. I heard that it is a sinful thing. The residents of Mount Targon don't like it very much, but the mermaids like it very much. They will exchange huge pearls with humans for moonstone. I don't know what they use it for."

As Luo Wen looked at the glowing area, an image of a hero naturally emerged in his mind.

Holding a staff and having a human body and a fish tail, she is the Tidecaller Mermaid - Nami.

However, Rowan doesn't know much about her story, so he can't be sure whether Nami survives in this sea.

And it is not known whether she is active in this timeline.

"Why did you come along?" After watching for a while, Rowan interrupted Lux ​​and asked the question he wanted to ask when he saw her.

Lux replied easily, "Going out for adventure is what I have always wanted to do. You want to go to Shurima, and I want to go to Shurima too. I applied to my aunt and she agreed. It's that simple."

"Is that all?" Rowan looked at Lux.

Lux nodded. "That's it. I say, is there anything more joyful than exploring the outside world with good friends?" She asked Rowan in return, also looking at Rowan.

Then, Rowan smiled and nodded.

"Yes, adventuring with good friends is the best."

"Yes, it's the best!"

Sitting together, tasting the fresh but not-so-delicious fish, Rowan and Lux ​​chatted in the night.

This was the first time he stayed with Lux so late. He remembered that she used to rush home in the evening. Tiana had set a curfew for her and she would be punished if she didn't go home on time.

Therefore, while eating, the two of them looked up at the beautiful moon, and at the small hills and islands that appeared from time to time.

"."

"I say, Senior Puna, does the Marshal want us to come and see a pair of little ones in love?" Lux's guards, Lilith and Puna, sat aside. Although Tiana's order to them was not to leave Lux and to protect her closely, Lilith and Puna were both people who knew how to judge the occasion.

It would obviously be better to leave this occasion to the two of them. They only need to sit a little further away and watch from afar. Do you really think that the two of them will be so stupid as to come forward and have dinner with Lux Rowan?
Not that stupid!
"Watch your words, junior." Puna rolled her eyes at Lilisi and said in a deep voice, "Who are you calling a little guy? If you think you can beat him and defeat Black Lion, then you can indeed call him a little guy, but can you beat him?"

".Not really." Lilisi shrugged and said indifferently.

"Then show respect. Respect for the strong is respect for yourself." Puna said earnestly.

"Have you always been so rigid? Ever since I joined the Sixth Shield Formation, you have always been telling me some great truths. No wonder that senior chose to promote to the front Shield Formation. Seriously, isn't she really avoiding you?"

"." Puna's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Lilisi with a gleam in her eyes, her lips buzzing.

But before she could say anything, Lilishi let out an "ah" and said apologetically, "I was wrong, senior, I shouldn't have said so much. I apologize now, can you forgive me?"

"Look, after this trip, we don't know how long it will take to return to Demacia. We have the best relationship, right?" Lily said with a smile.

"."

"How long will they continue to talk?"

"I say, do good friends need to talk for so long?"

"Hey, Senior, do you talk to your good friends for so long? Oh, I mean your male good friends."

"Senior, why don't you say anything? Don't you have any good friends of the opposite sex?"

"Anyway, I wouldn't chat with my good friends of the opposite sex for so long, especially so late at night, and in such a romantic scene. Good friends, in my understanding, wouldn't be like this."

"Right, senior, you think the same as I do, right?"

"."Puna, feeling worried, looked up at the sky.

Why does she have such a younger generation? !
Lily talks a lot!

------

The ship appeared on the sea in the middle of the two continents. Eleven days after setting out, Rowan finally arrived in Uzeris.

Along the way, even Lux, who had the most noble status, only took a bath on the boat three times. Fresh water resources are not precious in Demacia and can be found everywhere, because the wealth of Demacia is no joke. But in Shurima, on the sea, fresh water has become a precious commodity. To put it an exaggeration, in Shurima, clear and clean drinking water is more precious than wine!

Rowan and his group came to Shurima pretending to be merchants, and fresh water was one of the products that Rowan's "merchant group" would sell in Shurima. But what was regrettable was that Lux had already used up a lot of the goods before they even arrived.

Although the eldest daughter of the Mianwei family would not take advantage of others, she gave one of her gems to the deputy captain as a payment for the use of the water, which scared the deputy captain.

This gem can be sold for at least dozens of gold coins. If it’s water, haha, the deputy captain wouldn’t dare to accept it.

But Lux forced the gold coins to him, and at Rowan's suggestion, the deputy captain planned to put the gem in the shop as a commodity, as the treasure of the Glow Shop!
That’s right, the name of the caravan has been chosen. Originally, it was going to be called the Dawn Caravan, but the word Dawn is too big and would cause disgust among certain beings. Therefore, it was finally changed to the Glowing Caravan.

In the afternoon, Rowan and his companions packed up their belongings at the port. Fifty soldiers, two elite Fearless Vanguards, him and Lux ​​were the total number of the "merchant group" on this trip. Everyone was dressed very ordinary, even Lux changed into civilian clothes, although she was still very eye-catching and radiant.

The goods were unloaded from the Demacia warships, and the surrounding residents saw the Demacia emblem on the ship. Therefore, after knowing that these people were from Demacia, they would not rob the goods because they did not dare.

Demacia and Noxus are both well-known powerful countries in Shurima. The latter invaded most of the land of Shurima, and even the Shurimans in several ports were assimilated by Noxus and became half-Noxians.

They are extremely domineering, fighting wherever they go and showing no mercy to their enemies.

In this comparison, the former Demacia seems to be very soft, but in fact it is not the case. Demacia loves justice and peace and never fights invasion wars, but this does not mean that Demacia is soft-tempered. On the contrary, Demacia is also extremely domineering, and its domineering is on another level.

To describe it in one sentence - whoever offends our country will be punished no matter how far away they are!

In other words, if you don't offend me, I won't take the initiative to hit you. If you are willing to communicate with me, I am also willing to smile at you. Demacia welcomes every friend, but if you offend me, then prepare to perish!
This is no joke. It is not uncommon for Demacia to send out a large army and lay siege to the city just because its scouts were humiliated. The Demacians, who are willing to sacrifice their lives for glory, are really a group of freaks in the eyes of outsiders.

You can insult me, but you cannot insult my compatriots, my family, and my country!

Just think about it, how can a big country be weak?

A weak country cannot become a great power.

"Hello, we are merchants from Demacia, the Glorious Merchants Group. May I ask if you sell this item in your shop?"

In the small town of Uzeris, Rowan and deputy captain Carl first found an empty shop and started inquiring.

"You want to buy? Of course! I'm happy to sell it to you!" The Shurimans in Uzeris were dressed differently from what Rowan had imagined. Originally, Rowan had imagined that the Shurimans would wear sun-protective clothes and turbans, like people from the Middle East?
But in fact, the Shurima people in Uzeris wear cool clothes, because Uzeris is close to the sea and is not affected by wind and sand like the interior of Shurima. There are even some green places here, with small shrubs and weeds growing.

The town doesn't look so deserted. It seems that there are probably a few hundred people living there?

As a port town, this number of people is really small, but there are many port cities in Shurima, and the largest port cities are under the control of the Noxians. At present, merchant ships from the two cities, Zaun and Piltover, and even from Bilgewater, will be blocked by Noxians when passing through the Sea of ​​​​Watchers.

Kalamanda was originally a small village, but later amazing gems and gold were discovered there. As a result, Kalamanda has now become a trading town, surrounded by large commercial towns. It is not surprising that a small place like Uzeris has a small flow of people.

"I won't hide it from you. I have wanted to sell this shop for a long time. So how much can you give us? Merchants in Shurima do business with integrity. As long as you can take out five wooden barrels of water, I mean as big as wine barrels, this shop will be yours!" the owner said excitedly.

Rowan and Karl looked at each other and asked, "Can we take a look at the environment first?"

"Of course!"

Rowan and Carl walked in. The store was really big.

The three floors are old-style Shurima buildings, exuding a heavy retro feel.

Well, it can accommodate more than a dozen people. For the rest, it can be used as a shop for the merchant group, and a group of soldiers can live here. The rest can live in the surrounding areas.

There is no government control in the chaotic Uzeris. The land here was first occupied by a group of people, and then a spontaneous guard team was formed. Of course, it is a guard team composed of dozens of young people and old men. However, although they are called a guard team, they are actually a group of people who collect protection fees under this name.

Guards. Gangsters!
Then Rowan gave Carl a look and he walked out as well.

After a while, three people came. Two of them were carrying two huge wooden barrels filled with fresh water. The other lucky guy carried a bucket by himself and followed behind Carl.

"Is this enough?"

"That's enough! That's enough!"

"This shop is yours, it's already yours!" the shop owner shouted excitedly.

As he spoke, he ran outside. After a while, he found a few people to help him carry water.

They looked nervous and looked around, and the few people brought by the shop owner were also carrying weapons, machetes, short knives, and daggers made of stone.

Really backward.
"."

"Send someone to follow him." Rowan took a few glances and suddenly said to Carl.

"What? Follow him?" Carl was stunned and shouted, "Lord Rowan, we can't do this. These five barrels of water are not worth much. We are not really here to make money in Shurima. Merchants are just our identities. Besides, morality does not allow me to do such a thing!"

"What are you thinking about? I asked you to send someone to protect him. This place is too messy!" Rowan rolled his eyes at Carl.

When coming down from the port, Luo Wen noticed that this place was really chaotic. There were people robbing on the streets. The faces of the residents were full of numbness and helplessness, and the guards turned a blind eye to it.

Yeah, where else can they go?
In Uzeris, at least there are houses to block the wind and sand, and there are cheap food and dirty water sources available. Going east, there are Noxians. Going west, deep into Shurima?

No. It is impossible for a person to reach the city deep in Shurima. Not to mention the man-eating bandits, just the wild beasts, the temperature difference between day and night, and the lack of water are enough to kill them along the way.

Uzeris has become a "police and robbers family". It can even be said that the robbers are also members of the escort team. They know this, but they choose to accept it.

Rowan could have ignored all these things and just handed over the money and received the goods, but who can blame him for being an upright Demacian?

"This is our first business deal. In order to make more Shurimans willing to do business with outsiders like us, a little help will not be a loss." Rowan said with a smile.

Carl understood, grinned, raised his hand to salute and said: "Yes, Lord Rowan, this is in line with the style of us Demacians."

"Xino!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Follow them and protect them."

"Sir, did we really encounter robbery?" Xino, the soldier who was carrying a wooden barrel earlier asked.

"Break them up. If you encounter a robber, don't use your fists. Do you want to reason with them?"

"Yes!"
