Chapter 350 [0347] Secret Technique Jumps Back and Forth

Chapter 350 [0347] Secret Technique: Jumping Back and Forth

In Vikora, Nasus exposed a guy who forged the identity of the Eagle King's descendant and set off again, heading north to the town of Limestone.

In Bu Mang, Lux and Ino also set off again with Karya and Skarash - they were unable to buy a camel in the end, so they could only let Skarash, who had lost a lot of weight, work harder for a while.

Fortunately, after two days of rest in Bu Mang, Skarash, who had eaten and drunk enough, was in a much better mental state. In addition, Lux and Ino now took turns to rest during the day and rode alone. When they set off again, Skarash seemed to have finally regained his vitality.

In this way, two people, a Skarash, Karya, and Sefiqa finally set off, leaving Bu Mang and heading north to Nashram.

……………………

The journey from Bu Mang to Nashram can only be described as unremarkable.

The reason is very simple: this is a relatively prosperous trade route.

Although there are few people crossing the Great Sai Desert from Bu Mang to the east, there are many caravans heading south from Bu Mang, crossing the Great Sai Desert vertically and heading to the Shurima River Basin.

And many caravans heading south from Bu Mang have Nashramme as their first stop.

Therefore, although the road from Nashramme to Bu Mang does not have the desert highway that the Shurima Empire used to have, at least the oases along the way are managed by people.

Even though Lux and Ino took a straight line and skipped many supply points along the way, they still had enough food along the way.

Compared with the previous journey, this section is a more normal desert journey, which is a journey that mortals can take.

After only five days of walking, Lux and Ino arrived at Nashramme very smoothly. What's interesting is that when they arrived here, the whole city seemed to be immersed in a wonderful atmosphere of joy.

The streets were full of smiling people, and every household was decorated with lights. Many roads in commercial areas were even paved with a layer of coarse fabric, sprinkled with red, yellow, and green pigment powder, and many children would roll on it excitedly when passing by.

Considering that the Uzeris Giant God followers and Noxians in the west had fought, and she had heard in Bumang that Nashram was happy to see this happen, Lux's first reaction was that the Nashram people were gloating.

But... no matter how much you gloat, you won't do it to this extent, right?

Full of doubts, Lux asked Karya her questions.

Hearing Lux's doubts, Karya couldn't help laughing.

"Not really, not really." He smiled and explained, "Although the Nashramians may indeed have some regional conflicts with the Uzeris, the reason why Nashram is so lively now is because they are celebrating traditional festivals."

"Traditional festivals?" After hearing what Karya said, Lux finally became interested, "What festival?"

"Ramoth Day!" Karya seemed to remember some pleasant memories, and his tone became unusually cheerful, "Ramoth is an old god of Shurima, and was also the target of eliminating false beliefs. However, like Janna, the Nashramians did not choose to forget or abandon Rammoth, but integrated everything about him into their lives and into their traditional culture. , and the annual Ramos Day is their important folk festival. "

"Ramos... I've heard of this name." Lux blinked, "Which Shurima travelogue is it?"

"The Northern Shurima Customs Research, the Armored Dragon Turtle Chapter, you must remember it." Karya said in a pleasant tone, "It is a book with illustrations, and the author also specially drew the image of Ramos standing - I remember that because it was the only line drawing in that book, after you learned to paint, you also added a lot of weird content on it, such as Ramos playing the piano, Ramos dancing..."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Seeing Karya started to turn over his own black history again , Lux quickly spoke up to stop him, "I already remember it, the armadillo wearing a dragon turtle shell!"

"It seems that you really remembered it." Karya did not continue to expose Lux's dark history, but changed the subject and went back to Ramos, "You were still young at that time, I just briefly told you about the customs of Nashram Ramos Day, I'm afraid you have forgotten most of it now?"

"I have remembered a lot - for example, rolling on the ground, I thought it was the children being naughty at first."

"Rolling on the ground and imitating Ramos are the highlights of Ramos Day." Karya affirmed, "But tomorrow is Ramos Day, and adults will naturally not roll on the ground casually today Get lost, only playful children will take this opportunity to roll around. "

"So, Ramos is similar to Janna?" Lux nodded and said, "Should we go meet Him?"

"Ramoth is not easy to find." Kalya thought about it, and finally smacked his lips helplessly, "Janna's true form is just a wind elf, so after losing her faith, being free and easy is all she desires, but Ramos is different. He is a true old god. Even if no one believes in him, he is a great existence born in the yellow sand. So even if Ramos's existence has been integrated into folk customs, Ramos still has not lost his demigod power. "

"So He is still protecting this city?"

"That's right." Kalya paused, "You may have forgotten that there is a Shurima travel diary that records some rumors about the time when Uzeris joined Noxus."

"...Most of the time, I listen to your lectures carefully, okay!"

"Of course I don't mean to criticize you." Kalya continued, "But I clearly remember that the travel notes said that Noxus wanted to persuade Uzeris and Nasramei to surrender together."

"But Nasramei refused?"

"Yes, Nashrame refused. It is said that Ramos showed up once at that time and caused a lot of trouble to the Noxians, so that Nashrame can maintain the status of being able to have both sides today."

"Both sides?" Lux was a little confused, "Between who and who?"

"Between the restoration of Shurima's name and the actual benefits of Noxus." Kalya chuckled, "You may not pay much attention to this part, but Ino knows more."

"That's right." Ino nodded after hearing this, "When I was in Besilico, in order to understand Noxus's policies and strategies towards Shurima, I looked up a lot of information and collected a lot of information. , quite a few of them are related to Nashi Lamei, the female port governor of Nashim Lame, Your Excellency Saga, is really a... quite thoughtful person. "

It seemed that it was the female port supervisor of Naslamei who made Enoch speechless. When evaluating her, Enoch was stuck for a long time before she said "very thoughtful", which surprised Lacus.

"Tell me more specifically, what does it mean to have an idea?"

"When the Noxians tried to win over the northern cities of Shurima, they used similar methods to Uzeris and Nashrame." Ino explained, "The attitudes were to allow autonomy, provide shelter, and unify in name. , open trade, etc., the conditions are actually very loose. In the face of practical interests, Uzeris quickly wavered, and his connection with Noxus became deeper and deeper, and eventually became a part of Noxus. "

"It's understandable. This is similar to Tellishni and Bergun." Lux nodded, "What about Nasramei? Didn't you accept Noxus's kindness? You still accepted the kindness, but you still have to Maintaining Shurima's orthodoxy?"

"It's even more exaggerated than that." Speaking of this, Ino couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows. "This female port governor has fully accepted all the benefits provided by the Noxians, so that the economy of Naschramei and Noxians He was highly bound, and when urged by the Noxians, in order to show his sincerity, he took the initiative to marry the Noxian envoy who was stationed in Nasramei at the time. "

"Political marriage?"

"Naturally." Ino nodded, "However, this move obviously caused a backlash from the Nashrabeans. In addition, the Uzeris had just surrendered, and many Shuriman were unwilling to join Noxus. They all ran to Nashilame, so there was a lot of excitement in Nashilame."

"Then the female governor started jumping sideways repeatedly?"

"Absolutely." Ino nodded again, "Originally, the Noxians hoped to use marriage to influence her, but it turned out that the Noxian envoy was so obsessed with her that he helped her cover up everything and reported it to The message from Noxus is that 'in order to maintain the stability of the situation, we have to emphasize to the people that we must maintain the traditions of Shurima'."

"Did this fool the Noxians?"

"Of course not, I won't bring out anything practical, and the Noxian war masons are not vegetarians." Ino shook his head, with a subtle expression on his face, "In order to show sincerity, this harbor lady The governor began to 'de-Shurima', but the way she de-Shurima was to expel the Titan followers."

Hearing this, Lux finally understood why Ino's expression was so subtle - this female port governor was a real liar, the kind who deceived the Noxians into being the wrongdoers.

Relying on the Noxians' lack of understanding of Shurima culture, she chose a "perfect" plan to show her loyalty to Noxus: Look, I brought those Titan believers who have their own unique customs They have all been expelled. My loyalty to Noxus is evident from time to time. However, the public sentiment has been turbulent recently. For the sake of stability, I can't just change my banner!

In addition, the Noxian envoy was put to sleep and helped to cover up the situation. The Noxians naturally believed that Nasramei's surrender was just a matter of last minute, so they maintained their control of Nasram. Shlamei's trade concessions, while happily waiting for this prosperous city on the northern shore of Shurima, second only to Piltover, to fall into the arms of Noxus.

After all, this is Shurima, not the continent of Valoran. If the Noxians want to come across the sea and conquer by force, their own logistical losses will be staggering. If possible, they also hope that the Nashrabeans will know better. .

"Then, she gave the Noxians a very loud slap in the face." Ino shrugged and continued, "When the Noxians realized that something was wrong, the Sun of Nashrame The disk has been repaired, and the female governor personally presided over the commemorative ceremony for becoming the Empress of the Martial Arts."

Hearing this, Lux finally couldn't help laughing.

There is no doubt that Saga, the female port governor of Nasramei, used her actions to give Noxus a hard slap in the face. Noxus thought that through coaxing, it was like persuading Uzeris to surrender. Normally, Nashrame was persuaded to surrender, but the result was that Nashrame took advantage of Noxus, and finally announced in a high-profile manner that he was just playing for fun.

No, it was worse than that. It should be said that he announced in a high-profile manner that his heart would always belong to Shurima.

"Can Noxus tolerate this?" Lux asked after laughing enough, "The Noxians will definitely send troops!"

"I didn't find out much about the news about sending troops to attack Nasramei." Ino shook his head, "But what is certain is that the Noxians did once gather troops in Uzeris, but it seems that Nasramei Schramei has no choice - maybe this is the credit of Ramos? "

"Most likely."

"Later, although Noxus wanted to completely ban trade with Naschram, the Ionian War began." Ino smiled again, "The Noxian army needs a lot of Shuriman specialties. To maintain the consumption of the war, I can only hold my nose and maintain the friendship with Nasramei."

"Why is this?" Lux didn't understand. "Noxus should have already occupied Uzeris, Tellishni and Bergun at that time, right? How could they still rely on Nasramei?"

"Because Uzeris, Tellishni and Bergun are all traitors!" Ino spread his hands, showing a helpless look, "After the news of the Ionian War spread, the Shurima people They are all resisting doing business with traitors. The Noxians want to buy gems used by spellcasters, large pack animals, and good glue and paint... Anyway, everything related to military supplies. , it can only be done through Nashramei.”

Hearing what Ino said, Lux finally understood.

Regardless of how much ambiguity Naslamy had with Noxus before, and how close the connection actually was, when the sun disk was erected and the Harbor Superintendent personally presided over the Setaka Memorial Ceremony, the city still became The representative who "most adheres to Shurima tradition", at least in the eyes of uninformed foreign businessmen.

Due to this emotional bias, Nasramei has a huge market advantage in the business competition with Uzeris and Bergun, especially when Noxus is deeply involved in the Ionian War. In a quagmire, a huge amount of military supplies are needed.

The Shurima were unwilling to sell military supplies to Uzeris and Belgun, unwilling to allow the Noxians and traitors to take advantage of them.

Therefore, if Noxus wants to collect enough supplies to support their war, they can only rely on Nasramei, a city that slaps them in the face.

On the surface, Noxus and Naschram are incompatible, but in fact, during the Ionian War, most of the munitions purchased by Noxus in Shurima were through the Naschram market. Purchased.

As a result, after a war, the defeated Noxus was full of internal contradictions, and even now there is a faint tendency to split; Nasramei, which had just built a wonder, filled its own financial deficit, and even the market was quite prosperous; Peart Wolf, on the other hand, was lenient in collecting tolls, which resulted in Sun Gate related personnel making too much money and having too much say, which almost delayed the development of Hex Technology.

Ionia and Nasramae are thousands of miles apart, but the war in Ionia led to the prosperity of Nasramae.

When Lux clarified the subtle relationship, she finally had a new understanding of the "universal connection" that Kalya once said.

"By the way, there is also the Noxian envoy who married the port governor." Ino suddenly remembered something, and finally couldn't help laughing and said, "I heard when I was in Besilico He seems to have sworn to join Shurima, and he seemed to have publicly said during the oath that his idol is the consort of the Ascendant Martial Queen, the Prince Regent of Shurima? "

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Nashramei’s special policy:

Among the many city-states that hold high the Shurima flag, Nasramei is undoubtedly the one that has developed very well. Although the core of this city has almost nothing to do with the former Shurima Empire, at least in terms of cosplay , Nashrami did a great job.

There were sun disks, there were Setaka commemorative ceremonies, the belief in the earth giants was excluded, and even slavery was abolished (of course, this was a nominal abolition, there were no slaves in Nashrame, because slaves were unobtainable (Nashrami people, but Nashrami does not refuse the use of foreign slaves by the Nashrami people)), if Shurima holds a [Shurima Empire Imitation Competition] now, Nashrami will definitely get a good ranking.
