Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

From Lithos, take the Green Teeth Peak, make a circuit and then go to Mithril City. This circuit will cover thousands of miles.

However, Ino and Kalya are not in a hurry - Lux needs to conduct short-term training for the reserve soldiers, and also needs to bring a large number of demon-infected people with them. Even after the knighting ceremony is completed and everything is ready, they will immediately After leaving the village and heading north, we could only walk in a meandering way.

Calculating this way, even if Ino takes a detour, she will probably reach Fosbello first.

After planning the route of action, the next step is to look for traces of the dragon.

At this point, Kalya taught Ino a set of "Dragon Searching Techniques".

"Elemental dragons like to live in places where elemental energy is abundant and active. Considering that there were traces of dragon fire burning in Lao Shou Men's dragon disaster this time, you must increase your sensitivity and pay attention to the fire element. level of activity.”

"Even if the elemental dragons do not intend to settle down or change the surrounding environment, their existence will inevitably leave ripples in the elemental vision. This is our best way to find the elemental dragons. .”

Ino quickly understood what Kalya meant, and quickly adapted to the new perspective of opening her elemental vision and observing the world through elemental perception - her experience in the Shadow Realm taught her not to rely so much on her eyes, but It relies more on one's own magic perception.

Now, instead of using rough magic power perception, it is natural to open elemental vision and use elemental perception, which is not difficult for Ino.

In this way, inquiring about the dragon disaster all the way, Ino came to the Green Teeth Peak on the border of the kingdom. When he arrived here, Ino had collected a lot of true and false information about the dragon disaster.

Through Kalya's analysis and sorting, it can be confirmed that a serious dragon disaster did occur in Laojiamen, but there are different opinions on the cause of the dragon disaster. Some people say that the battle between two giant dragons affected the Some people say that a dragon deliberately attacked Lao Bianmen, and another dragon came to stop it.

But regarding the whereabouts of the two giant dragons, everyone unanimously said that "they went to the west" - and to the west of Laojiamen is the towering Green Teeth Peak.

Different from the common belief that "the evil dragon went to the Green Teeth Peak to seek death", Ino and Kalya knew very well that even if the Green Teeth Peak and the Gate of Sorrow were the locations with the largest number of troops stationed on the Demacia border, if they did not prepare a special In terms of strategy, no matter how many Demacia elites there are, they actually don't pose much of a threat to the dragon.

The garrison was aimed at the Noxians. Whether it was at the Green Teeth Peak or the Gate of Mourn, the Demacian fortresses guarded the only way for the Noxians to march.

Passes and mountain roads are the focus of garrisoning.

The dragon can fly. As long as you think about it, the dragon can completely bypass the garrison fortress with a large number of soldiers and fly from the sky. Therefore, even before people climb the Green Teeth Peak, Ino has already opened the elemental vision. , even when he was on the road, he was still observing his surroundings through elemental perception.

As a result, the dragon was not found, but the demon-stained ones found quite a few.

Along the way, Ino saw a large number of people with obvious traces of elements on their bodies, and his family left Demacia.

Among these people, some have active elemental traces on their bodies, while others are relatively silent - the former are those who have just awakened or have just been exiled; the latter are unlucky ones who have drunk the demon-suppressing potion, and all of them look... Sickly.

After her identity as a demon-stained person was exposed, Ino was first used by the lord to help her hide her identity. After the incident, she was sent to the Forbidden Prison and then taken away by Lux, so she was actually very interested in Demacia. The "usual encounters" of demon-possessed people are not very clear.

Now seeing these exiled demon-stained people, as well as those who drank the demon-suppressing potion, Ino's brows inevitably wrinkled.

"This is simply a waste of human life." Feeling the magic power suppressed by the demon-suppressing potion on the demon-stricken people within the elemental field of vision, Ino couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Suppressing the magic power seems to solve the problem, but it is suppressed along with the magic power. , and the control of magic power. Even if the magic power is suppressed, it will increase with age, but the control power of magic power cannot be exercised. Once the suppression is lost...this is simply killing people!"

"So it is not advisable to completely ban magic. Magic is dangerous, but magic is not uncontrollable. The extreme conservatism of rejecting any magic is also a kind of evil." Kalya sighed, "What's more, Demacia's ban on magic cannot be done To treat everyone equally – that’s why we’re re-opening in Forsbarrow!”

……………………

Midsummer in Valoran has come to an end, but the vegetation on Green Teeth Peak is still lush.

As the remnant of the central area of ​​Valoran that connects the Silver Silver Mountains to the south and the Dragonspine Mountains to the north, Green Teeth Peak seems to perfectly combine the advantages of the Silver Silver Mountains and the Dragonspine Mountains - both the lush beauty of the Silver Silver Mountains and the The majesty of the Longji Mountains.

On the north and south sides of this east-west mountain range, two large rivers originating from the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain rush past, converge at Zhandel further west, and finally merge into the ocean not far south of Xiongdu.

Since the water flow of these two rivers is not urgent, the water surface is wide enough, and the hydrological conditions are relatively stable regardless of drought or flood, they, together with the Tobitsia River in the south, form three horizontal lines of Demacia's water transportation.

Merchant ships go east and west, either carrying harvested grain from the Demacia Plains or loaded with various products from Nokmokki. Driven by the monsoon, they travel back and forth on these three rivers, providing Demacia, a conservative kingdom, has been injected with some unique commercial vitality.

Although in the mouth of the bard, there is no gatekeeper in the mouth of the old gatekeeper, in fact, the place name "Old Gatekeeper" itself comes from the name of the local area by the Demacians - from the perspective of Demacia , this small city located to the east of Green Teeth Peak, is the gate entrance to the entire Demacia.

Once they pass the old gate and cross the Green Teeth Peak, the army from the east can smoothly enter the endless Demacia Plains. In this plain where the water network is not dense but connected by large rivers, Demacia is boundless. Danger can be defended.

Therefore, Green Teeth Peak, located between the two rivers, can not only guard the two rivers from a high position, but also prevent enemies from entering the Great Plains of Demacia. It has become the largest military fortress in eastern Demacia.

Even a country like Demacia, which adheres to the principle of elite soldiers, has more than 10,000 permanent troops around the Green Teeth Peak - you know, Demacia has no auxiliary troops. A super-elite like the Dreadnought Vanguard, the combat effectiveness in frontal combat is comparable to ten Noxian-style companies including logistics officers, engineers and auxiliaries, a ten-thousand-person battle regiment!

Considering the terrain of Green Tooth Peak, if we just defend, it will not be easy for even twenty battle groups to take over Green Tooth Peak!

These elite soldiers are usually stationed in various military fortresses up and down the entire Green Teeth Peak according to their respective establishments. Some of these military fortresses are forward and some are hidden. They are connected together to form a defense against invading enemies from the east. Line of defense.

Several of these fortresses guarded the passage into Demacia through the foothills of Greentooth Peak - tax collectors, soldiers, and demon seekers would check passers-by, merchants paid taxes based on the bulk items they transported, and demon-possessed people were banned. enter.

Shyvana stood on the hillside, looking at the waiting Demacians from a distance.

Her eyesight was very good. Even if the guards of the fortress did not see her, she could clearly see the interrogation that pedestrians had to undergo when crossing the border. Although most people passed smoothly after paying money, some people still touched those The stick in the blue-robed man's hand then weakened and he was forbidden to pass.

Shyvana didn't know that the men in blue robes were demon hunters, nor did she know that the sticks in their hands were "magic detectors" made from the forbidden magic stone. However, with the dragon's sensitivity to elements, Shyvana was very Clearly, that stick can absorb magic power.

It's too bad. It seems that even if I put on a robe and a hood, I won't be able to pass smoothly.

Shyvana, who was sitting on the hillside, couldn't help but shake, her eyes falling on the lavender skin of her arms.

Although she knew now was not the time to think about this question, looking at her body, the question "Am I a human or a dragon?" naturally appeared in Shyvana's heart.

According to his adoptive father, he discovered himself in a volcano east of Kalduga. At that time, he was just an egg. He originally wanted to sell himself, but he did not expect that he would break out of the egg without warning. Out - Although the adoptive father claimed to be a bastard, he was not enough to sell a little girl to the Noxians. Therefore, the relationship between Shyvana and her adoptive father changed from a hunter and a trophy to an adoptive father and an adopted daughter.

If everything ended here, then this should be a very warm story. The thief was infected by the baby's smile and gave up his wealth to become a dad with a baby. But unfortunately, Sivana's mother didn't think so.

This giant dragon named Ivar regarded Shyvana's adoptive father as a despicable thief, and Shyvana as a symbol of his own shame. When Ivar's other dragon eggs hatched and turned into young dragons, they could fly freely. , she finally left the dragon's nest in the crater angrily, and found Shyvana through the blood connection.

In the dragon's wrath, Shyvana's adoptive father was seriously injured and died, but this was not over yet. Iva not only wanted to kill the thief, but she also wanted to kill Shyvana - as far as she was concerned, Shiva Nahao lived her life as if someone was mocking her for having her most cherished object stolen by a humble thief.

For Ivar, his dignity is obviously more precious than his daughter's life.

In this way, Shyvana began a hasty escape journey.

Most of the time, creatures like giant dragons still have animalistic nature surging in their bodies. Shyvana tried to communicate with Ivar several times, but to no avail - for giant dragons, the strongest takes all is the law of nature. , Iva didn’t think he had the need to communicate with Shyvana.

After all... look at Shyvana, she completely abandoned her power as a dragon and became a weak human!

As a result, while running for her life, Shyvana had doubts about her identity for the first time: Am I a human or a dragon?

If I am a human, why am I much stronger than a human, why can I turn into a flying dragon, why do I long for fresh flesh and blood, and why does my soul long for killing?

If I am a dragon, why do I think like a human being? Why am I unwilling to accept the law of the jungle? Why do I prefer to integrate into human society and collectives?

Shyvana was always surrounded by confusion, leaving her to run for her life in confusion.

Along the way, the question "who am I" has been lingering in her mind, making her restless.

Shyvana is not willing to completely obey the animal nature in her blood, but she cannot strip away her identity as a dragon. Every time she thinks about this problem, she will only feel a headache.

In this way, Shyvana traveled all the way, avoiding her mother's attack, from the Valzhu Mountains to the Shining Silver Mountains, and then to the Green Teeth Peak.

Shyvana was no match for her mother, so after hearing that there were "very powerful humans" at Green Teeth Peak, she chose to stay nearby, hoping to scare her mother away.

After all, for a giant dragon that advocates the law of the jungle, "people with the ability to slay dragons" should be something Ivar doesn't want to come into contact with.

Unfortunately, Shyvana apparently misunderstood the huge difference between epic and reality.

Although the Demacian dragon slaying accounts for most of Demacian folklore, in fact, even when Demacia was just established and Oren was driving away beasts and dark creatures, the Demacian people encountered There are also very few dragons.

There is not much territorial conflict between humans and dragons. The environment that dragons like is often unacceptable to humans - unless there is an evil dragon entrenched on the main traffic road, Demacians rarely fight against dragons. .

Therefore, to Ivar, the Demacians are just annoying little flies, not enough to cause him to be afraid.

I am Iva, the scourge of the Flame Dragon!

How could I stop my pursuit of shame just because of the mere obstruction of Demacian mortals?

Therefore, after locking Shyvana's position again, Ivar came with great momentum. The two dragons had a big battle at the old gate. The dragon fire falling from the sky ignited a large number of buildings in the small town, forming a tragic battle. Dragon plague.

At the end of the battle, Shyvana, who could no longer hold on, voluntarily left the battlefield and plunged into the deep mountains and forests of Green Teeth Peak in human form.

After Iva realized that Shyvana had escaped, he spent some time getting rid of the interference of mortals, and then chased Shyvana - but when she also arrived at Green Teeth Peak, Shyvana had already hidden. Into the mountains.

Although the blood connection told Iva that Shyvana was nearby, in the dark and among the mountains, she could not find any trace of Shyvana for a while. In the end, she could only leave in anger and find a place to lick her wounds. - Even though Shyvana was beaten badly by her, Shyvana also left many marks on her.

Shyvana, who had temporarily relieved the crisis, knew that she could not stay here for long. After recovering a little bit of her physical condition, she got out of the mountains and planned to continue heading west and completely enter Demacia. Then, at the Green Teeth Peak At the foot of the mountain, she discovered a Demacian checkpoint.

Shyvana was not sure whether these Demacians would let her in, so after hesitating for a moment, she simply found an uninhabited place, transformed into a dragon, flapped her wings and soared into the sky.

She wants to bypass this defense line from the sky!

The clouds and mist in the Green Teeth Mountains obscured the huge body of Shyvana's dragon. The Demacian soldiers who were checking the passers-by did not realize that a dragon had quietly crossed their defense line and entered Demacia. West Asia.

However, although Shyvana's movements could not be hidden from the soldiers at the pass, they could not hide it from Ino who was climbing the mountain. In the elemental field of vision, Shyvana's flight path was as clear as an airplane's cable, even if it was blocked by clouds and fog.

Seeing an active track of fire elements in mid-air crossing the mountains and extending to the west, Ino immediately took action.

"There really is a dragon!" She summoned ice floes and began to drift rapidly in the mountains while paying attention to the direction of the elemental track in the sky. "Teacher Kalya, your dragon-seeking technique is really accurate!"
