Chapter 374 [0371] Walking in the Night in Splendid Clothes

The punishment of stone crown is a punishment with humiliating meaning.

However, if you really reach the top and return, the meaning will be completely different.

Walking barefoot and climbing Mount Targon means that you have accepted the most severe test, washed away everything in the past, and since then you have become a god walking in the world.

Of course, such an important identity is not easily acknowledged.

Within the Illuminati, the Silent Man's collection clearly records the means of identifying such "peakers" - and as the most powerful esoteric force in the Illuminati, the Silent Man has always been known for his inhumane, Known to only serve the gods, they can be said to be impartial and impartial when it comes to matters involving the gods.

Therefore, don't try to launder your rights or seize power in this way, unless you can control the Silent Man.

At this time, Lux and Ino were able to return to Demacia with a more glorious identity.

But Kalya advises her not to do this.

"Think about it, now if you directly return to the capital of Demacia as a climber, what will happen next?" When Lux and Ino descended from the mountain and returned to the small town of Nerimajie, Kalya reminded, "Speaking of which, we have severely exposed the Illuminati."

"But the Silent People should still be very reliable, right?" When it came to this topic, Lux was a little unsure, "They are rarely mentioned, but everyone seems to think that they are the most pious people."

"Absolutely." Kalya agreed with Lux's statement, "However, the Silent People may not have other thoughts, but the bishops of the Illuminati are not fuel-efficient lamps. They were suppressed by the royal family and the nobles to become what they are now. If there is an opportunity, they will never miss it.”

"So you are saying that I will become a target for their use?" Lux is no longer the ignorant little girl who just left Demacia who only knows how to implement Kalya's plan. There are some things that she will be very happy if Kalya just starts. Quickly understand, "So, if I show up in Demacia, wouldn't it mean that both the Noble Council and the Illuminati would actively recruit me?"

"Yes, for those who want to gain power, this is a good opportunity to have both sides." Kalya paused and continued, "However, this is meaningless to you. What you need is something practical and practical. , enough power to initiate a reform, but all the Illuminati needs is a banner and a reason.”

"Understood." Having had the experience of being regarded as a model of nobility and being held up high, Lux knew this method of flattery all too well. "So, if I show up with great fanfare now, I will plunge headlong into the world." In the political whirlpool, he became the focus of everyone.”

"It's good to understand this." Seeing that Lux was so awake, Kalya's tone finally sounded a bit relieved, "So, before you show up publicly, you still need to cultivate some power of your own."

"But, where should we start?" When it came to this topic, Lux also had a headache. "I'm afraid my father and mother have different ideas from me. If the family's power cannot be borrowed, I really can't think of it for a while. Where to start."

"The first step you have to do is to tell the Demacians that Lux is a reliable person." Kalya has obviously thought about this for a long time. "Moreover, this reliability has nothing to do with her noble status. The identity of the climber is irrelevant.”

"It sounds easy to say." Lux couldn't help but rub her forehead after hearing this, "But in practice, I still have no clue - compared with Zaun, Demacia is too big. The entire Demacia, Only news about the capital of Demacia can be spread, but I can’t start from here.”

"Start from the Shadow Realm." Kalya didn't give in. "Rescuing your uncle is one thing, and more importantly, fighting the devil is the best way to gain reputation."

"Fighting... the devil?" Lux blinked, obviously confused, "What's going on?"

"Remember Tam?" Kalya reminded, "The one you saw in Bilgewater, the big-tongued demon."

"That greedy demon?"

"Yes, it left a letter at that time. It seems that the demons are reviving, and Tam plans to be a broker among the demons and hold a party or something like that."

"But what does the awakening of demons have to do with Demacia?" Lux asked puzzledly, "Demacia has never had a problem with demons."

"No, no, no, it's a big deal." Kalya snorted, "Did Tariq tell you about the mysterious death of the envoy before?"

"I told you." Lux nodded, "You also asked me to ask a few questions."

"The question is not in vain." Kalya chuckled, "Believe me, the murderer of that incident was a demon."

Hearing what Kalya said, Lux finally showed a nervous expression.

"Demon of Pain, Embrace of Pain, Evelin." Kalya pointed out the identity of the other party directly, "Moreover, when we go to the Shadow Realm to save your uncle, we may also meet another demon, the Demon of Nightmares, Nightmare, Nocturne.”

"Demons from the Shadow Realm?" The Luxians were dumbfounded, "Also in Demacia?"

"You got it right, but unfortunately there is no reward." Kalya smacked her lips, as if her evil taste had come back, and she enjoyed Lux's surprise very much. "You don't think the situation in Demacia is stable now, do you? Believe me, although that is only an appearance, when the ancestors of Demacia arrived here, they found that there was no one here. It was not because no one had ever come here before, but because the people who had been here were all dead."

Kalya's words made Lux and Ino look horrified - they were not afraid of demons, but they still felt a chill in their hearts when Kalya described "they are all dead".

This unknown feeling... is really not good.

However, after a while, the two finally realized that it was Kalya, the bastard, who was scaring people - especially when Kalya started laughing, Lux almost wanted to throw her sword into the river beside her.

Considering that the poor old man has now lost his immortality, the generous Miss Lux decided to let him go for the time being.

Humph, I won't argue with empty-nest old people!

……………………

In Narimaj, Lux and Inno successfully retrieved the "statue" they had stored there.

The innkeeper obviously didn't know that the statue that was previously stored in his warehouse was actually a Darkin; what he couldn't have imagined was that the Darkin even had a cross blade representing the royal power of Shurima in his arms...

Finally, Lux and Inno, who had retrieved the "deposited items", sold a set of rune steel armor (at the price of rune steel, which was a big loss), and bought two camels again and replenished enough supplies.

After everything was ready, the two left Narimaj and headed north, along the mountains of Mount Targon, and set off for Kalamanda.

Unlike the previous devilish training, this journey northward was very easy for Lux and Ino. They no longer needed to travel day and night, nor did they need to challenge their physical limits. In addition, the climate near the Targon Mountains was much more humid and mild than the central area of ​​the Great Desert. During this period of time, although they moved forward very quickly, they were quite leisurely along the way.

Although Kalya had lost his immortality, he still played the role of a tour guide very competently, and introduced the local specialties of Western Shurima to Lux and Ino without hesitation.

It can be heard that Kalya spent a very long and important period of time here. Unlike other information obtained from paper, Kalya has his own understanding of the animals, plants, terrain, climate, etc. here.

More importantly, after Lux and Ino had known most of his experiences, Kalya gradually had his own presence in his stories.

Although he still did not relax the magic training of Lux and Ino, the two girls could feel that Kalya seemed to be much more friendly.

How to say it...

Kalya was very reliable before, and did not give people too much sense of distance, but I always felt that the whole person seemed to be covered with a veil. When I wanted to take a closer look, I could only see vaguely.

But now Kalya seems to be just a knowledgeable, kind, strict and unforgiving old man, which makes Lux and Ino feel a little subtle warmth that is close to family affection while being "flattered".

Perhaps, this kind of Kalya is the most real Kalya?

Unfortunately, because a certain regent prince was too narrow-minded, Lux and Ino who had this idea could only wink at each other quietly, exchange secret signals, and look at each other on the road, and did not dare to really speak out their guesses at all - climbing the Giant God Peak was already very tiring, and no one wanted to add more training content to themselves.

From Narimaj to Kalamanda, the journey was quite smooth.

Through this journey, Lux and Ino finally gradually relaxed from the previous state of severe mental tension, and at the same time gradually adapted to the power of the heaven in their bodies.

Kaliya tried very hard to pass on his experience of controlling the power of the heavens to Lux and Ino, but what embarrassed him was that Lux and Ino both showed an expression of "that's it" after listening to him.

Obviously, Kaliya spent a lot of effort to barely reach the level of control, which Lux and Ino had almost reached when they fought Leona.

Although he seemed calm on the surface and his tone seemed to be more relieved, only Kaliya himself knew how it really felt to have his talent crushed by students...

Maybe he was really relieved?

Maybe he was still a little unwilling?

Maybe he had already gotten used to it?

……………………

After many years, when they came to Kalamanda again, Lux and Ino were surprised to find that this port city seemed to have not changed at all.

The docks, streets, urban areas, markets, everything looked familiar.

This unchanging feeling made Lux and Ino a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it, they realized that they had gotten used to changes since leaving Demacia.

With this subtle thought in mind, Lux and Ino sold their camels and bought two boat tickets to the Demacia capital - although Lux and Ino would not stage a king's comeback at this time, and the destination of this trip was also Fosbyro, but because Demacia did not have much external communication, the destination of the trip from Kalamanda to Demacia could only be the Demacia capital.

"That is to say, after returning to the capital of Demacia, we still need to hide our identity!" Regarding this, Lux was naturally very depressed. "It was already bad that I couldn't go home, but now I even have to go home. Without entering!”

Although Lux knew that this was an inevitable choice and that she could not show up in Demacia rashly, she was still angry at the thought of not being able to go home even though she had returned to the capital of Demacia.

In this regard, Ino could only hold Lux's hand and slowly comfort her.

What's worse is that because she is at sea and there are strong winds and waves, Lux's mood becomes even more irritable.

Even though she had been bathed in the radiance of heaven, Lux still felt uncomfortable when she was on the sea.

It seems that the change in strength is not enough to change Lux's discomfort with riding on a boat. Even though she is no longer physically nauseous, her mental state is still somewhat affected.

Fortunately, this journey is not too long, and both Lux and Ino have strong self-regulation abilities. Seven days later, in the early morning, when the ship arrived at the port of Demacia's capital, the two of them finally set foot on the When he landed on solid ground, Lux let out a long breath and relaxed.

In order to avoid being noticed by people they knew, Lux and Ino took turns carrying the statue and quietly bypassed the guards at the pier.

The two of them did not enter Demacia's capital, but walked directly around the city. They reached the north of Demacia's capital in one breath, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the sun was rising and the temperature was gradually getting hotter and humid, Lux and Ino simply sat down at a roadside stall - although the two young girls were carrying a large sealed bag (with Sefiqa in a sealed state inside). It seems a bit strange, but this is the main traffic thoroughfare in the north of the city, with people coming and going, transporting and selling things, so the boss and passers-by don't pay too much attention.

"From here on, you shouldn't meet any acquaintances." Ino went to buy bread, while Lux held her sword in hand and discussed with Kalya the next step of action. "However, if we go to Forsbarrow, I only know that I should take the northwest direction, but I’m not sure about the specific road... You said you can enter the Shadow Realm by going to Forsbarrow, so you should know the way?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know him." Kalya denied decisively, "I just know that Fosbello has a lot to do with the Shadow Realm, but specifically, I have never been there."

"This is troublesome." Lux couldn't help grinning after hearing this, "In Demacia, ordinary people can't buy maps. Do we have to ask around slowly along the way?"

Just as Lux was thinking about how to get a map, Ino came back with a cracked wooden tray, two pieces of bread, and two really clean and hygienic cold drinks.

Not only that, she also brought Lux unexpected good news.

"When I went shopping just now, I heard that the small caravan next to me was going to Forsbarrow." Ino handed Lux's portion of bread and cold drinks over and said with a smile, "Maybe we can get a ride!"

Kalya's Little Classroom Demacia's Foreign Trade:

Although there has never been an order to close the country, Demacia rarely communicates with the outside world - on the one hand, it is because Demacia itself is rich in products and there is no need for exchanges; on the other hand, it is also because Demacia and other countries Attitudes towards magic vary.

PS. There is another chapter in the evening, maybe midnight.
