Chapter 302 [0299] Differences and Lies

The negotiations between Kaf and the elders of Oil Silk Oasis were not smooth at all.

If Kalya had heard their conversation, he would have used this incident as a case to remind Lux, telling her that "the basis of cooperation is common interests, not similar positions."

In fact, whether it was Kaf, who led the team to leave and go to Keneser because of Beljuin's surrender to Noxus, or the elders who insisted on living in Oil Silk Oasis for many years, they all had similar positions on the issue of Shurima.

They all grew up listening to the stories of Shurima since childhood, and they all hoped from the bottom of their hearts that Shurima could regain its former glory.

But the difference is that the two people's ways of action are completely different.

After leading the team away from Beljuin, Kaf did not live well in Keneser.

The soldiers under his command were well-trained, disciplined and obedient, which made him seriously feared by Governor Keneser. After arriving in Keneser, he did not get more support, and the number of his soldiers did not increase. In order to control Kaf, the Governor of Keneser blocked his supply.

Kaf and his soldiers were able to eat enough.

But for the soldiers, just being able to eat enough was not enough anyway. In this case, let alone recruiting troops to counterattack Bergen, even the maintenance of the weapons and equipment of these 500 people became a big problem.

In this case, Kaf could only choose to "rely on the enemy for food". Anyway, he was more familiar with the situation around Bergen, and the people who left with him were all good cavalrymen. If there was a lack of supplies, he could occasionally do the business of sand bandits and rob Noxus's caravans!

As a result, Kaf and his camel cavalry, with Keneser as their backs, soon became a team that annoyed Bergen's service officers.

Since Kaf was originally from the city defense army of Beljuin, he was very familiar with the terrain from Beljuin to Keneser. Even if the Beljuin war group of Noxus was dispatched, they could only eat dust behind Kaf's camel team.

Over time, Beljuin's land trade gradually declined. Under Kaf's influence, the city almost completely cut off its land trade with other cities in Shurima, and became more and more dependent on Noxus and maritime trade!

This situation was obviously not what Kaf expected. He wanted to use plundering to make the Beljuin people realize that it was a mistake to surrender to Noxus, but with limited strategic level, he did not realize how huge Noxus was.

Beljuin, who surrendered to Noxus, even if they lost all their land trade routes, relied only on the maritime trade between Noxus and Beljuin, and their business also ushered in an astonishing prosperity.

If there were no competition from Uzeris, a commercial city that also defected to Noxus, Beljuin would probably be even more prosperous!

In this way, Kaf wandered in the desert with his camel team for more than ten years. He grew from a young man to a middle-aged man, but ultimately failed to realize his vision and failed to let Beljuin hang the flag of Shurima again.

Of the thousand-man army that followed him out of Beljuin, only five hundred people are left now. Others either retired due to injuries or became bodyguards or mercenaries. Some waves of people simply became bandits and became sand bandits without bottom lines.

The departure of old friends one by one hit Kaf hard. As a middle-aged man, he spent a lot of time thinking and reflecting. He finally realized that the battlefield might not be the only place to solve the problem, and war might not be the only solution to the problem. If he wanted to take back Beljuin, he should probably develop a base of his own.

The governor of Keneser cannot be relied on!

Realizing this, Kaf began to consciously look for oases near Beljuen. In his opinion, although these oases are relatively small, as long as they are united, they are also a force that cannot be ignored and even qualified to support an army!

And Yousi Oasis is the first target he chose.

On the one hand, he chose this place as the target because few people know about it, and the distance between Beljuen and Keneser is just right, making it a good transit station; on the other hand, it is because by chance, he met Kuchu, a man who left Yousi Oasis and made a living in Keneser.

After learning about the situation of Yousi Oasis from Kuchu, Kaf finally chose this place as his target after some comparison.

But unfortunately, the elders of the desert survivors of Yousi Oasis obviously do not agree with Kaf's views.

The ancestors have lived in Yousi Oasis for generations, and the production of the whole village is highly dependent on the underground canals and water wells left over from the Shurima Empire. The elders naturally yearn for and miss Shurima.

But no matter how much he misses them, it is better not to let him lead the desert survivors to leave the oasis and fight with Kaf!

Why was the Shurima Empire so prosperous in the past?

Because there were Ascendants!

Although there are always deviations in the oral history, at least the story of "Mother Weaver digging the underground channel" has been passed down with details.

In the eyes of the elders of the desert survivors, the real revival of Shurima must be done by the emperor and the Ascendants!

What can we civilians... do?

Although Bonu of this generation is very powerful, after the boy Sefikana inherited his father's power, he directly caused the earth to tremble, but it only made the ground tremble slightly.

In the final analysis, it is just a small application of the Sephi Stone. It is far from the legendary Weaver Mother digging underground rocks and forming six underground rivers across the continent!

Yes, life in the Yousi Oasis is indeed a bit boring, and the food and clothing have not changed for thousands of years, but at least everyone is still living safely!

After all, this oasis is relatively remote. Outsiders who occasionally pass by here don't understand and will not use these oil silk seeds. If there are sand bandits, Bonu can provide early warning and everyone can evacuate to the safe village in the lake. Even if they live in It's not as colorful as outside, but at least there's no problem in living peacefully.

So, why should we leave this oasis and join the war with the unfamiliar Kraft?

Even though Kraft visited the thatched cottage three times, the attitude of the elders of the oasis survivors remained the same.

Don't think about it, it's impossible - the Oil Silk Oasis will not become a base for your army, and the oasis survivors will not join your army.

After sensing the child's sincerity, the elder even persuaded Kraft in turn, hoping that he would not waste his life doing things that should not be done by mortals.

Under this situation, Kafu could only sigh silently, then pulled off his cloak, revealing his arms to the elder's stunned eyes.

At his elbow, several carefully groomed feathers were pressed tightly against the skin of his upper arm.

"I am a descendant of the Eagle King." Kafu pursed his lips and showed his feathers to the elder. "It is my mission to revive Shurima."

The stunned elders of the oasis remnants came over and almost put their eyes on Kraft's arm, as if they wanted to find evidence of his fraud.

However, these feathers do indeed grow on Kraft's body. There is a layer of fine hairs at the base of the feathers, and the surrounding skin is obviously closer to the state of chicken skin.

Could it be that...this Mr. Kraft is really a descendant of the Eagle King? !

At this moment, the elders of the oasis survivors finally hesitated.

……………………

The Eagle King is Azir. This guy likes to wear a gorgeous eagle feather cloak, and later he took the initiative to break the rules left by Setaka and ascended as the emperor, so he was called the Eagle King.

As the leading male protagonist of Shurima pornographic books, Azir had an astonishing number of scandals in his life. According to official historical records, Azir can be described as not tabooing meat and vegetables.

In unofficial history, his descendants can be described as "countless".

Therefore, in Shurima, the title Descendants of the Eagle King is quite easy for people to accept.

Coupled with the fact that the feathers on Kraft's arms looked more and more like eagle feathers, the elders of the oasis survivors who had always been firm before looked at Kraft finally looked a little suspicious.

So, is Kafu really a descendant of the Eagle King and a descendant of Azir?

Of course not.

Perhaps in the eyes of some ordinary people, the feathers on Kraft's arms are really related to the descendants of the Eagle King, but anyone who really knows some Shurima history will know that this thing has nothing to do with Azir. relation.

Kafu himself knew very well that he and Azir did not have even the slightest blood connection. The reason why he had so many feathers was entirely because he had Vastayan blood.

Only the mixed descendants of vastayas and humans can have such long feathers!

The descendants of the Eagle King were all made up by Kraft to fool the old guy in front of him - after several negotiations, he finally figured out that the elders of the oasis survivors were really pure old antiques. People need to have a big enough name.

It is for this reason that Kraft, who is not good at lying, chose to fabricate his own identity.

Didn't you say that this only has something to do with the emperor and the ascended ones?

I am the descendant of the emperor - so come join me and establish the power of following the dragon!

However, although the elder is not very knowledgeable and does not know that there is such a thing as a Vastaya hybrid, he is not stupid after all.

Although the few feathers are amazing, they are not the regent golden feathers displayed by the Wazuans after all. If you want to convince him with this, it is not enough.

How can I find a way to try Kraft?

Narrowing his eyes slightly, the elder quickly thought of a way.

"Go and call Bonu." He whispered to a desert survivor next to him, "Tell him to bring that stone!"

Kalya’s Little Class·The Silk of Oil Silk Oasis:

Shurima has a long history of sericulture and silk reeling, and to this day, Nashrame, Exokon, and Zivonia are still the origins of the highest-end silk in Runeterra.

However, in the oil silk oasis, the insects they feed are not silkworms, but a kind of oil silk beetle that lives here. This beetle also creates a fiber shell for itself when it pupates. This layer The shell, rich in oils and fibers, is ready to be used to make silk after a preliminary cleaning with salt water.

Of course, this kind of silk is neither delicate nor dense, and has nothing to do with high-end. However, it subtly meets the needs of the oasis survivors. It has very good breathability and is their main source of clothing.
