Chapter 875 [0872] Gathering

Under the help of the Frostguard priests, the raiders of East Freljord are gradually forming a union. They have accepted the Noxians as "cannon fodder" and are planning to cross the Old Snow Canyon to bring a little surprise to Raxtak.

In Raxtak, Lux and Ashe, who had just returned, obviously knew nothing about this.

Compared with the hardships of the journey to the Great Glacier, the process of returning from the Great Glacier was very smooth. It took them less than a day to cross the Sea of ​​Ice with the Breath of Anivia. After that, they only needed to cross the Ancient Frost Pass to enter the Raxtak Plain.

During this process, no Lost took the initiative to cause trouble. It seemed that Anivia persuaded Volibear to extinguish the rolling thunder.

Without a doubt, this was a very successful trial journey.

Unfortunately, Ashe, who returned to the tribe, did not have time to celebrate, and Lux, who met Karya again, did not have time to share her experience along the way. Many tribes came to the door one after another.

During the time they were away, some people had already disobeyed the previous covenant, and these people all came to ask for help.

According to Ashe's covenant, in the divided area, the territory of other tribes cannot be arbitrarily occupied. Even if there are problems among the tribes in the Laxtak Plain, they should be resolved through discussion, and avoid resorting to force as much as possible.

This idea is good, but unfortunately, in the few months when Ashe and Lux ​​were away, many tribes broke out in conflict over territorial issues, pasture issues, and hunting ground issues.

Some tribes remained restrained.

But some tribes, although participating in the oath, still chose to resort to force in their own way.

As a result, those tribes that remained restrained suffered a great loss without exception.

Can the Freljord people tolerate this?

So, they chose to fight back without hesitation. For a while, the Laxtak Plain once again presented a vibrant situation, where everything competed and many tribes became one.

In this series of small conflicts, the tribes that suffered losses saw that they were about to lose the battle. At this time, they thought of Lux and the previous covenant, so they sent envoys to the city of Laxtak, hoping that Ashe would take action to calm the situation and punish those who provoked the war.

Ashe was quite experienced in this regard.

She did not rush to take action directly, but sent a large number of envoys to study the relationship between the tribes and strive to find out who really broke the covenant and then punish them.

This was a very correct approach and also maintained Ashe's reputation, but the price was that the preparations for the crusade against Lissandra that had been agreed with Anivia were delayed again and again.

Seeing that Ashe could not gather an army to march east in a short time, Lux simply said goodbye temporarily and ended this visit. Before leaving, she and Ashe agreed that they would act together when crusading Lissandra.

……………………

When the elite troops of Demacia and Malphites slowly started, Lux, who bid farewell to the city of Laxtak, walked westward and let out a long breath.

"It seems that you have gained a lot from this trial." Seeing Lux like this, Kalya was somewhat curious, "How does it feel to meet Anivia?"

"...It's amazing, especially the stories he told." Riding on Enyuk's back, Lux finally had time to slowly tell Kalya about his experience, "He is worthy of being the god of wisdom in the mouths of the Freljord people. He really knows a lot of things that ordinary people can't understand."

"For example?"

"For example, the ancient history, even before the emergence of civilization."

As he said, Lux simply shared the ancient history told by Anivia with Kalya.

Kalya, who was listening on the side, rarely showed a very serious expression, and from time to time he took the initiative to ask a few questions - some questions were what Anivia had said, but Lux didn't fully explain, and some were parts that Anivia didn't mention.

Lux answered all of Kalya's questions, trying to recall Anivia's words as much as possible. As for the parts that Anivia did not mention, she directly responded with "I don't know".

The more Lux talked, the fewer Kalya asked. He seemed to be visibly thinking, but Lux had no idea what he was thinking about.

She really couldn't understand why Kalya was so serious when he heard these historical stories.

Is there any very critical information hidden in these histories?

When Lux finished telling Anivia's story and Kalya seemed to understand something and his brows gradually relaxed, Lux asked her own questions out of curiosity.

"Is there any key point in Anivia's story that I haven't discovered?"

"Probably not," Kalya realized Lux's doubts and shook his head with a smile, "It's just my personal interest - in the Shurima Empire era, the study of the origin of civilization has never involved the field of the sun disk, which is a more popular field. As long as Anivia is not talking nonsense, what she said can solve many questions."

Lux nodded, not quite understanding. Although her knowledge of magic theory can be considered rich, she has never been a scholar from beginning to end, and most of her knowledge of magic theory comes from cramming education.

As a field "not too related to magic research", Karya only mentioned the topic of prehistoric civilization research to her, but did not involve too much,

"So, are these questions... important?"

"It's important for those who have spent their lives exploring the path that humans took when they came here." Karya shrugged, "But for most people - including you and me, it's actually not that important. Compared with these stories, what really needs our attention is Anivia's explanation of Lissandra."

"It really opened my eyes." Speaking of Lissandra, Lux's tone became a little subtle, "The frost witch is very ambitious, and the power It is also quite amazing, and she is the most troublesome type you mentioned, always hiding herself in the dark. "

"It shouldn't be so troublesome this time." Hearing Lux say this, Kalya smiled, "When you and Ashe pass the trial and get Anivia's approval, it will be Lissandra who will feel troubled - no one is willing to easily go against the will of the witch, but for you, how many people are willing to dislike the old gods and their ancient believers. "

Lux nodded. In her opinion, the current situation in Rakstak should be a double-edged sword. Whether it is Ashe or Lissandra, they should not act easily and accumulate strength at the same time.

But she could never have thought that on her way back, a large number of tribes in East Freljord united together.

After giving full play to her subjective initiative, Lissandra even took the opportunity to pull in the Noxians, letting them participate in Rakstak's strategy as the main force of the siege.

Even among those tribes that held Ashe back and prevented her from freeing up her hands immediately, many were simply influenced by the Frostguard priests, hoping to take advantage of this period of leaderlessness to create enough chaos in Rakstak.

Unfortunately, due to the quick return of Ashe and Lux, those who were making trouble in private were obviously scared, which is one of the reasons why Ashe seemed to be able to calm down the incident smoothly.

They acted in a hurry and wanted to dive in a hurry. If Ashe could not find the clues, what would greet her later would be the joint offensive from the East Freljord raiders and the New Noxus Empire.

Whether she could withstand it at that time, she could only pray for good luck.

……………………

Ashe, who had finished the trial, had a lot of official business to deal with, both true and false.

And Lux, who returned to the North from Freljord, also had a lot of work to do.

Although Ino and Sona worked diligently during her absence from the North, and Lux ​​also prepared a lot of contingency plans, there are always some things that cannot be easily solved by the contingency plans - especially when these problems involve the future direction of Demacia.

The North still maintains a rapid development speed. When Lux came back, the city scale of the three towns of Fucheng had expanded again, and many residential areas that had just been delivered were already full of people.

The siphon effect brought by the prosperous trade and magic industrial production is very amazing.

With Lux coming to power and gaining a firm foothold in Demacia, this siphon effect even extends to further places along the network of northern trade.

The Demacia of the Light Shield family has no appeal to wild mages from all over Runeterra.

But Demacia under Her Majesty Luxanna is completely different - today, as the concept of using magic production is gradually gaining popularity, and as the northern trade directly or indirectly affects more areas, Fosbyro has appeared on the future list of mages from all over Runeterra as a "possible future settlement".

If "Fosbyro under Count Laxana" has amazing appeal to the landless civilians and poor families in the northern border of Demacia, then until today, with the development of the magic industry and the stabilization of trade in the north, the appeal of "Fosbyro under Her Majesty Laxana" is shifting towards "high-end talents".

Those who are eager to prove themselves and to use their talents and wisdom will carefully observe this city and think about whether it will be one of their future choices.

During the time when Lux left Demacia, the migration of magic industry in the south, the enlightenment of magic industrialization, and the development of primary education were all relatively smooth.

Although working according to the plan instructions is rather dull, and sometimes there are some unexpected troubles, but generally everything is relatively successful.

But in contrast, those contents that did not appear in the plan forced the city of Fosbyro to deal with them cautiously. Among these problems, the most troublesome one is the registration and permanent residence of outsiders, especially the acceptance of foreign spellcasters.

Lux, who had not really realized the amazing appeal of the three northern towns, had not thought about her talent strategy from the perspective of the entire Runeland.

Until more and more mages gathered here, there was even a tendency to become a social instability factor.

Thanks to the fact that the mages did not degenerate, under their suppression, although Fosbyro and Xinfu City welcomed many mages, the local public security did not deteriorate seriously. So far, most of the problems that have occurred are caused by cultural and custom conflicts.

But this policy of suppression cannot last for a long time.

While training her own reserve archers, Lux also had to face a problem directly: should Demacia accept foreign mages or even let them join the archers?

Regarding this issue, Lux, Sona and Ino, the three giants, held a series of small meetings, but it was really difficult to come up with a very reliable plan for a while.

In principle, Fosbyro and even the whole of Demacia would not reject foreign immigrants, especially when these immigrants were all spellcasters.

But how to accept, to what extent to accept, and how to ensure that there would be no problems after acceptance, these are the real issues that made the three people entangled.

The destructive power of spellcasters is far beyond that of ordinary people.

For the local archers in Demacia, most of them have experienced the most basic magic control teaching, so there will be no problem.

But those foreign mages, even if they have no bad intentions, may have a bad influence on Fosbyro - the simplest point is that if someone is contaminated with the breath of the devil and enters Fosbyro, if it is not handled properly, the whole of Fosbyro will become a hunting ground for demons.

Think about the previous Mordekaiser, that was before he entered the real world!

Therefore, foreign spellcasters who want to settle in Demacia for a long time must be registered!

But how far should they register?

In the current era of mysticism, most foreign mages are probably not willing to reveal their assets. In this case, if you expect them to register honestly, they may not come.

And when they thought that talented spellcasters would refuse to come to Fosbyro for this reason, the three giants of the North felt a little bit wronged.

No, a standardized immigration application system is now imminent!

In desperation, the three finally decided to ask the magical Kalya. It is not shameful to ask the teacher for help in this field that they have never faced before.

Then, when Kalya saw the three giants of the North who came together and learned about their doubts, a booklet that had been prepared long ago was thrown out by Kalya.

"Fosbyro needs adult education."

Kalya's small classroom·mages hidden everywhere:

Today, mages have become a symbol of secrecy and danger in Runeterra. With the large-scale loss of mage inheritance, many mages are like the wild mages in old Demacia, dangerous and unable to control their talents.
