Chapter 357 [0354] The Curtain Is Drawn

Build an ice dock, get an ice boat, and quietly carry people and goods away. This is the best way to leave the city under the current martial law in Uzeris.

However, even if this can avoid Noxian patrols as much as possible, the specific process and steps need to be carefully planned. If they are discovered, the small sampan of the Noxian Navy may not be able to do anything to Lux and Ino, but the various health foods they bought at a high price may capsize in one day and directly feed the offspring of Nagakaporos, which is not worth it.

So, in the next few days, Lux and Ino would sneak out at night and bypass the curfew checkpoint to go to the seaside of the north city.

Although they almost met the patrol team several times, the final result was still smooth. After five days of careful observation, Lux and Ino finally had a relatively clear understanding of the northern area of ​​Uzeris.

First of all, the city of Uzeris is not a regular square, but a trapezoid with a narrow north and a wide south.

The upper bottom of this trapezoid, the northern edge of Uzeris, is a zigzag coastline that is not straight.

Since most of the coastline is covered with cliffs and rocks, Uzeris did not build a wall in this direction - there is no need at all. Apart from the two docks, there is no suitable landing area at all.

But this natural barrier is not a fatal problem for Lux and Ino. After field investigation, Ino believes that he can find a place where no one pays attention, build an "ice slide" as a dock, and slide the ice boat carrying people and goods directly into the sea like a sled, and even save a lot of effort.

……………………

Using the hotel conditions as bad, Lux and Ino checked out during the day, and then led the camel all the way to the north of the city, seemingly intending to change a hotel near the dock.

However, after arriving in the north of the city, they did not really change a hotel, but slipped into an unmanned villa and settled down here temporarily.

The owner of this villa might be a spellcaster. Although no one was at home, there were quite sophisticated magic locks on the walls, and ordinary thieves could not get in at all.

However, for Lux and Ino, this level of magic lock was not really a high-level thing. In five minutes, Lux easily solved it without any pressure, even without Kalya's reminder.

Although the original intention was not to steal, it was also considered a burglary, so that after opening the magic lock and sneaking into the villa, Lux was surprised to find that his back was covered with a layer of sweat.

In this villa, Lux and Ino stayed until dark, then quietly left, avoiding the patrolling soldiers and going around to a remote and uninhabited cliff in the north.

Recently, after receiving the troops from Nashram, although the war in Noxus was still in full swing, Noxus cities such as Kilgoff, Groft and Trivelle across the river from Uzeris continued to transport a large amount of city defense supplies and reserve soldiers to Uzeris.

Therefore, the docks in the north of the city were still brightly lit and bustling even at night.

Fortunately, the bustle was concentrated in the two docks in the east and west. The cliff where Lux and Ino quietly came was only patrolled by a few soldiers occasionally, so it was safe.

After finding a water entry point that had been explored before, Lux led the camel back, and Ino came to the edge of the cliff, took a deep breath, and pressed his hands on the cliff.

With Ino's hands as the center, large pieces of frost began to crystallize and spread, and then turned into an ice bridge that slanted towards the sea below.

Under Ino's precise magic control, the ice bridge extended forward and widened continuously. A few minutes later, when Ino's face turned pale and his lips gradually began to lose blood color, the end of the ice bridge finally reached the sea.

Ino breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his red hands, moved his swollen arms, then stepped forward and pressed the ice bridge.

The delicate magic flowed into the ice bridge again, and the shape of the ice bridge began to change slightly.

The inclined bridge surface changed from being smooth and mirror-like to being slightly concave inward, and the shape curve of the entire bridge body became more and more smooth - even on the center line of the bridge surface, Ino made a groove, intending to use it to clamp the ice boat he would make later.

At the same time, Lux was comforting the camel that was a little anxious because of the cold, and was carefully on guard to prevent the patrol soldiers from appearing. It was not until Ino completed the bridge and turned around to make the ice boat that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the ice boat was also completed. The ice boat made by Ino was not large in area, but the hull was deep, and there was a longitudinal protruding groove on the bottom of the boat, which perfectly matched the bottom of the ice bridge.

At the starting point of the ice bridge, after Ino assembled the boat and the bridge perfectly, Lux led the camel to the ice boat. As Ino waved his hand and removed the fence in front of the boat, the ice boat finally began to slide down along the ice bridge under the action of gravity.

This was a very crazy attempt. When the ice boat rushed to the sea along the track of the ice bridge, its speed was already quite amazing - the moment it entered the water, half of the hull plunged into the sea, and the frightened camel almost flipped out of the boat.

Fortunately, Ino reacted very quickly. When entering the sea, he did not hesitate to temporarily freeze the people and camels in the boat in place, thus avoiding the fate of the boat capsizing.

When the boat floated safely and Ino finally unfrozen it, the camels were no longer panicking - they were completely terrified, just huddled in the corner of the boat and shivered, and didn't even dare to look at the Ronab in Lux's hand.

But anyway, this entry into the water was quite successful.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the camel's body, Ino made two ice paddles and handed one to Lux. The two of them finally began to row the boat hard along the coast.

……………………

Neither Lux nor Ino knew how to row a boat. They relied on Kalya's intensive teaching before, so they rowed slowly and inefficiently.

But Lux was seasick - although the waves near the coast were small, she was at most a little uncomfortable, but her rowing efficiency was still greatly reduced.

Finally, after struggling for half a night, the two of them managed to bypass the northwest corner of Uzeris, find a mudflat area, and lead the camels ashore.

At this time, the long night was about to end and the sky was about to dawn. After working hard for half a night, Ino was not only physically exhausted, but also consumed a huge amount of magic power. Considering that it was not easy for camels to move forward on such mudflats, she would need to create an ice road to leave. Ino and Lux ​​could only rest here for a while.

Until the sun was high in the sky, Ino almost recovered a little, created a frost path on the mudflat, and the two led the camels to leave the mudflat.

Then, just as they were heading south, intending to get away from Uzeris and officially start this last journey, a cloud of dust rose in front of them.

Someone came, and there were quite a few of them.

Lux and Ino looked at each other and roughly guessed the identity of this group of people without communication: if nothing unexpected happened, this team should be the Nashra beauties!

The two had encountered the vanguard of the Nashira American army before, and they moved quickly afterwards and left the Nashira American army behind. Considering that the two had been delayed in Uzeris for so long, the Nashira American people should have arrived.

However... judging from the smoke and dust, there should not be many people in this team, and this is the west of Uzeris, a tidal flat area where the formation cannot be deployed. The Nashira American people coming here can only be regarded as a feint at most, right?

Lux and Ino's guess was completely correct.

In fact, the team that came to the west of the city was indeed a feint attack force - to be more precise, it was a large mercenary group hired by Saga to feint and attract the attention of the defenders.

Sivir's mercenary group was in this team.

When Lux and Ino passed by this team on guard, they once again passed by Sivir and Cassiopeia.

However, unlike the previous time in the oasis, this time, the two sides finally went in completely different directions.

Sivir, who accepted Cassiopeia, tried to make a comeback as a mercenary.

Lux and Ino set off to start the last stage of training before climbing.

The two figures who crossed each other and gradually moved away seemed like two curtains that were pulled open to both sides, opening a new era of Shurima.

Karya's small classroom·The mudflats in the west of Uzeris:

This extremely low-lying mudflat area is the place where many underground water veins enter the sea, thus forming a mudflat settlement area, which is the natural release line in the west of Uzeris, and it is impossible to deploy a large-scale team.

PS. There is a small piece of numbness on the outside of the thigh above the right knee. After examination, it was lateral femoral cutaneous neuritis.

Many people have this problem due to improper exercise, but my main cause is that I sit for too long every day, and my weight base is getting bigger and bigger...

Although this is not a big problem, my symptoms are not serious and have almost no impact on my life, but I still have to face a cruel reality: I really need to lose weight.

Wuuuu, there is only one chapter today, wuuuu.
