Chapter 285 [0282] Before Entering the Sea of ​​Sand

Traveling southwest from Zaun, after a five-day voyage, the cargo ship arrived at Bergün.

Lux and Ino quietly slipped off the ship before it entered the port, and entered the city of Bergun on an ice floe created by Ino.

Looking at the familiar Noxtra, Lux and Ino breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The past few days on the ship were not easy for the two of them. Although Ino could make fresh water, because they were sneaking away, the two of them could only eat dry food, and the space in the cargo ship's cabin was small, and Lux ​​was still A little bit seasick...

A combination of factors made this journey for the two of them unpleasant at all.

Fortunately, we finally arrived in Bergün successfully, and the days of suffering are finally over!

Guessing what they were thinking, Kalya couldn't help but sneer.

"Cherish your current life." There was a clear sense of schadenfreude in his tone, "When you enter the desert, you will understand what a miserable life is!"

"I know, I know." Lux rolled her eyes impatiently, "You have been talking about the desert since I was a child, and I have been listening to it for more than eight years!"

"Yeah, it's a pity that you were always full of yearning for the desert at that time." Kalya skillfully used his trump card, "At that time, you still thought about rowing in the desert-"

"Shut up!!!"

Kalya's behavior of just settling old scores almost made Lux throw her sword away on the spot - and after seeing Ino's smile, she became even more unhappy.

In this case, Kalya decided enough was enough.

"Okay, no more joking." He cleared his throat and continued, "Next, you need to purchase some supplies before entering the desert. Even if it is just the two of you, if you act rashly, it is very likely that you will be completely destroyed. Getting lost or even killed in the desert – no matter what, preparation for desert travel is essential.”

"Teacher Kalya, why do we have to go through the desert?" Ino asked a rare question, "We can actually take a boat directly to Kalamanda, and then turn to Mount Targon, right?"

"It's possible, but if you do that, Lux will probably not be able to climb Mount Targon."

"What does this have to do with climbing Mount Targon?" Ino was very puzzled. "Isn't it smoother and more time-saving to take the sea route? Even if Lux gets seasick, she can spend more time in Nasramei to recuperate?"

"Because the most critical factor in climbing Mount Targon is not physical strength, but perseverance." Kalya explained, "Without the tempering of will, it is almost impossible to reach the top."

"So we need to be able to cross the desert?"

"That's right." Karya agreed, "Nothing like the vast sea-like Dashai Desert can better train people's will and quality. Although I believe that after everything you have experienced in Zaun, your ideals and beliefs are firm enough, but without experience The tempered will is still difficult to resist the erosion of the Titan. If you want to truly climb the Titan Peak, crossing the desert can barely be regarded as a simulation exercise. "

"There is also a desert in the simulation training. Can't we use that training?" Speaking of practice, Lux suddenly thought of a way, "This should have a better effect, right?"

"No!" Kalya immediately objected, "Absolutely not - simulation training cannot be used as willpower training. In fact, too much simulation training experience will reduce willpower!"

"Why is this happening?" Lux said in disbelief, "Obviously most of my combat experience comes from simulation training..."

"Simulation training can keep you alert in critical moments, and it can also allow you to accumulate combat experience at an extraordinary speed." Kalya sighed, "But essentially, simulation training is still an illusion. Do you believe Only when the simulation training is real will the training effect be achieved.”

"And when climbing Mount Targon, I want to avoid this kind of belief?" Lux had some enlightenment, "Is the test of will of climbing Mount Targon also related to the illusion?"

"It's partly related." Kalya hesitated for a moment, and then confirmed, "The training of climbing Mount Targon is multi-faceted, and will training is your weakest link. I'm not worried that you will believe the old brainwashing of Titan. But I’m worried that you won’t be able to hold on and your will will eventually be forcibly tampered with, so you must go through an ascetic tempering in the process.”

"In other words, I'm going to have to endure hardships next?" Lux was not afraid at all, and her words even contained a bit of excitement about trying, "Come on, I'm not afraid of this!"

"That's great." Kalya said lightly in a subtle tone, as if waiting for a good show, "Okay, now we go to the market in Bergun and prepare to cross the Great Wall. Supplies needed by the desert!”

……………………

The city of Bergün obviously cannot compare with Piltover in terms of prosperity - not to mention Piltover, even Zaun is more lively than it on weekends.

Although more than ten years ago, under Swain's temptation, the city finally chose to give up the glory of Shurima and join Noxus, but because of the reason of non-force annexation, Noxus did not Ergun completely eliminated the original rulers.

Therefore, in the eyes of Lux and Ino, although Bergun has a Noxtra in the city that represents the rule of Noxus, it looks more like an out-and-out Shuri. Macheng City.

Shurima-style streets, Shurima-style buildings, Shurima language in the form of Chinese characters...

However, it can be seen from some details that this city actually has many "Noxian-style" places - for example, the comprehensive market in the west of the city is completely Noxian-style with heavy taxes and free admission.

Here, Karya provided Lux ​​with a long list and asked her to make a large purchase according to the contents of the list.

According to Karya's request, Lux exchanged pure gold for Noxian gold coins at the market management office (with a handling fee of 5%), and then took Ino with her to enjoy the rare fun of shopping.

There was no way. When in Zaun, Lux and Ino were household names. If you want to buy things, even if you want to spend money, the seller will not accept it - after a few times, Lux and Ino simply gave up personalization and honestly used the rationed daily necessities.

Anyway, it's not that it can't be used, at most it's not that easy to use.

Now they finally had room to choose, and after hearing from Karya that they were about to enter the desert to start a tough training, the two girls held hands and quickly entered a shopping state.

The previous shopping went smoothly, and Lux ​​and Ino bought one by one according to the list.

Soon, the two bought the last item on the list, the vehicle.

According to Karya's list, Lux asked the cattle dealer about the price of Skarash.

When the cattle dealer heard that someone wanted to buy Skarash, he was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out a hand.

"One hundred gold coins?"

"One thousand golden double-headed eagles." The cattle dealer looked Lux ​​up and down, and then his eyes showed the joy of seeing a rich man, "My lady, our Skarash are all young and strong guys--"

"One thousand gold double-headed eagles?!" At this moment, Lux finally couldn't help but take a breath of the hot air of Beljuen, "Are you selling Asian dragons?"

"That's not it." Hearing this, the cattle dealer finally grinned, "Asian dragons? That thing is not worth this price!"

Kalya's Little Classroom Beljuen:

This northern Shurima port city is the second city to change its flag and defect to Noxus. The first one is Talishni-and according to gossip, Beljuen's defection seems to be related to the previous Talishni people. It was Talishni who pulled Beljuen into the water.
