Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Nerimajie is a city that cannot be bypassed no matter what when it comes to the history of Shurima.

This city located at the eastern foot of Mount Targon is the source of the entire Shurima Empire. The small tribe headed by Setaka rose, developed, and expanded from here, and eventually became an empire that occupied almost the entire Shurima continent. huge empire.

Although due to the conflict between divine power and imperial power, the administrative center of the Shurima Empire was eventually moved away from Nerima Jie and moved to the newly built Shurima City in the Shurima River Basin, but in any case, Nerima Jie is this The birthplace of a great empire is the root of the entire empire.

Today, Naerimajie is about to welcome two special new guests, as well as an old guy who is revisiting his old place.

They had just gone through a devil's training and were now seeing people again. When they saw the smoke rising from Nerimajie in the distance, Lux and Ino felt like they were in another world - it didn't look like they had just crossed the desert at this time. The traveler is more like an unlucky guy who has been through hell.

"Is it true?" Ino asked tremblingly, "That smoke... is it true?"

"Really, really!" Lux rubbed her eyes, "It's not a mirage, it's not a distant view, it's real smoke and real people!"

After receiving a positive answer, Ino let go of the camel's reins and rolled down the ridge of the dune.

Behind her, Lux could no longer suppress the smile on her face and rolled down the dune.

Behind them, the two camels seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then they finally stepped forward slowly and walked in a circle along the ridge of the sand dune, catching up with their masters who were rolling in the yellow sand.

……………………

The sand that had been heated by the sun clung to the robe, making it hot from the ironing.

The flying gravel fell in the middle of the hair, making the scalp feel slightly itchy.

But at this time, Lux and Ino didn't care at all.

After confirming that it was Naerimajie in front of them, confirming that they had finally walked out of the Dashai Desert, and confirming that they had finally passed the devil's training that was terrifying to say the least, they felt nothing but joy in their hearts.

The straight-line distance from Uzeris to Nerimajie is almost five thousand miles!

Even if Lux and Ino had to trek for more than 18 hours a day in the wind and sand, they had to travel the 5,000-mile distance for more than three months.

After one stage of training after another, Lux and Ino pushed their bodies to the limit, and as the magic power-deficient training began, their mental loads were fully loaded.

At the beginning, they would complain that the "big tonic" purchased under Kalya's guidance was too strong, but as the magic power shortage training began, they no longer even had the energy to complain.

Like two infinitely stretched rubber bands, Lux and Ino approached their limits step by step and expanded their limits step by step at Kalya's request.

On a clear afternoon after the sandstorm dissipated a month ago, Lux and Ino saw the Lamo Titan Peak from a distance. The two little girls looked at the mountain peak that seemed to support the sky in disbelief. In addition to astonishment, they felt in their hearts I couldn't help but feel bursts of ecstasy.

After confirming that it was not a mirage, Lux and Ino took the camels and ran wildly. But after three days of advancing at full speed, they finally understood what "running to death on the mountain" meant.

Mount Targon is so tall and huge that you can see its majestic figure even from a thousand miles away.

"The starry sky is far bigger than Mount Targon. Don't be impatient when climbing." When Lux and Ino finally couldn't run anymore and finally resumed their normal pace, Kalya's reminder came. Chi, "Don't be too excited because you think you are about to reach the top. Climbing is only considered a success when you actually stand at the top."

It was precisely because of this lesson that Lux and Ino were completely relieved when they actually arrived outside the city of Nerimajie and touched the city wall with their own hands, which seemed to be engraved with ancient times.

I...have really arrived at Naerimajie!

After looking at each other, smiles appeared on the faces of the two people at the same time. It was as if all their strength had been drained from them, and their entire bodies were leaning against the blazing city wall.

"Would you like some ice?" Ino leaned against the wall and slid down to sit on the floor little by little. "Cheer up, we have to go into the city!"

"No, no need." Lux licked the corners of her dry mouth, "Go to the city, go to the city, I don't want to wait any longer!"

"Then, give me a hand!" Ino stretched out his arm, "My lower back is numb..."

Lux grabbed Ino's arm and pulled hard. As a result, Ino got up, but Lux lost her balance and fell directly with her - the two of them rolled in the yellow sand again.

……………………

After a lot of trouble, Lux and Ino finally found the east gate of Nerimajie along the city wall.

Unlike those port cities in Northern Shurima that are close to the sea, the walls of Nerimajie are not very tall, and the entrance to the city gate is both land and water.

To the west of the city of Nerimajie, the melted water from the snow-capped mountains turned into trickles and converged into several rivers connected to the underground water system. Some of them passed through the city, and some circled the city, and finally converged into one big river. The east gate of Naerima Jie roared and rushed away - her name is Shurima River, the mother river that has nurtured countless people in Shurima.

This river not only nourishes the Shurima River Basin, the richest in Shurima, but also undertakes the most important inland water transportation task on this continent. As the source of the Shurima River, Narimajer is the mother of the river. Breastfeeding the first child.

Although the Shurima River is very fast and it is almost impossible to sail against the current, at the entrance to the city of Narimajie, countless shirtless trackers still shouted slogans and pulled the boats one after another. Go to the entrance of the city gate sluice.

On the other side, ships loaded with cargo one after another were moving down the river, passing through the narrow entrance area, and heading east along the wide river.

There are many shuttle-like small rafts passing between the cargo ships entering and exiting. The raft supporter only uses a long pole to allow the raft to swim flexibly between the gaps in the cargo ships - entering and exiting the city gate. It takes a lot of time to check and pay taxes. While the cargo ships are queuing up, these small rafts sell them some dry food and drinks.

Among them, the largest number of people buy and sell mutton legs. The large half-legs are connected to a sheep's hoof. They seem to have been specially marinated. They are hooked out of the big wooden barrel at the head of the raft by the people rowing the raft, and then they pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

Judging from the way the buyer took it and ate it without caring about the juice dripping, it must have tasted quite good - this situation of selling food on a traffic thoroughfare is quite a bit like roast chicken at the intersection.

There were actually no people in the Lumen where Lux and Ino were, and they didn't even have to queue. They could come and go freely.

But after the two little girls, who had not seen anyone else for a long time, saw this scene of busy traffic, their eyes were involuntarily attracted to it, and they were a little crazy for a moment.

"Stop looking, your saliva is about to flow out!" They stared at it stupidly for almost a quarter of an hour before Kalya reminded him, "Let's go, let's go into the city, into the city - that's the rock on Mount Targon." The leg of lamb tastes very good, but you can’t eat it now.”

"Why?" Lux, who was almost drooling when she heard that she couldn't eat it, raised her eyebrows immediately, "Why don't you let us eat it?"

"Because you still have to stick to the high-energy diet." Kalya's words made her instantly discouraged. "You have persevered all the way. Now you can't give up just because of a temporary craving!"

Lux and Ino grinned at the same time when they heard this.

"But I have good news for you guys." Kalya continued with a smile, "Although you can't eat the Pan Sheep, in Naerimajie, there is a high-energy food that tastes better than the Pan Sheep!"

"Is there any delicious high-energy food?"

"Of course!" Kalya didn't show off, "Huiyang, one of the ancestors of Panyang, is the most delicious. The wild Huiyang living in Mount Targon is a magical creature."

"Glory Sheep?" Hearing what Kalya said, Lux and Ino couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Starry Sheep? What is that?"

"A group of magical animals that live on the cliffs of Mount Targon and bathe in the starlight." Kalya introduced, "Their meat is delicious, their fur has strong magic resistance, and their bones are excellent materials. The Pan Sheep are them. descendants."

"The descendant of Huiyang is Panyang?"

"Yes, it is obtained through domestication and crossbreeding." Kalya seemed to know them very well. "Hui sheep can be domesticated, but it is very troublesome to raise, and the meat yield is still very low - so after domesticating it, let it interact with the local If you mate with an ordinary goat, you will get a wild goat."

When Lux and Ino heard this, their expressions were a little subtle.

"However, Pan sheep will degenerate from the third generation and become ordinary goats. Therefore, when breeding Pan sheep, you need to breed Hui sheep at the same time, or breed two generations at once." Kalya said with a slightly nostalgic tone, "I don't know. Have the people of Nerimajie solved this problem now? It took us a long time to catch the Hui Sheep, tame them and breed them. I remember it was Aatrox. I think he was gored by the Hui Sheep at that time. Somersault, you have to chop down the sheep with a sword... Hahaha, let's go, let's go to the city, I'll teach you some Huiyang specialties, stewed whole sheep is my specialty!"

Facing the dark history that Kalya inadvertently revealed about the senior named Aatrox, Lux and Ino's expressions were a little subtle - they looked at each other, and then realized that they had just seemed to There are also some gaffes.

Although Greedy Yang's behavior was not as embarrassing as being kicked by Huiyang, what he said afterwards was somewhat embarrassing!

Thinking of this, Lux and Ino decisively grabbed the camel's reins and quickly entered the city gate.

Forget it, let’s try Huiyang!

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Shurima Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Transformation:

The father of the Pan Sheep is the domesticated Hui Sheep. The Hui Sheep can absorb the celestial energy escaping from Mount Targon and store it in its body.

The female parent of Pan Sheep is a carefully cultivated local high-yielding meat goat. It is a livestock with an excellent feed-to-meat ratio.

The hybrid offspring inherits some of the advantages of both parties. Although it is not a magical animal, it can grow meat like crazy by absorbing the energy of the escaping heaven. It is the most important source of meat for the residents near Mount Targon.

Pan Sheep, a specialty meat sheep of Nerimajie, is just one of the results of the transformation of agriculture and animal husbandry during the Shurima Empire. At that time, in order to enrich material conditions, the Shurima Empire, under the leadership of Kalya, adopted the method of domestication and hybridization. , and strive to cultivate various dairy livestock, meat livestock, egg poultry, as well as large beasts of burden and economic animals.

The ascended ones personally go out to capture those powerful magical animals, tame them and train them for the second generation, and then after comprehensively considering the training costs, they choose whether to crossbreed or continue to tame them...

The Pan Sheep were domesticated and hybridized, while the silkworms used in the Nashra American silk were cultivated by A Zhi from a highly poisonous moth generation after generation.

In this way, the Shurima Empire spent hundreds of years cultivating a large number of high-quality livestock breeds, which greatly enriched its diet and living conditions at a relatively small cost.

To this day, there are still legends circulating in many places in Shurima that "the ascended ones gave certain special economic animals/cash crops". This is one of the main reasons why the Shurima people still miss that great empire even after thousands of years. .
