Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Ino, who failed to pick up his family, was on his way very quickly.

When there was no need to take care of his family, Ino could continue riding Iva directly to the west, flying from Mithril City to Forsbarrow in just one day.

It is also interesting to say that the blood connection between Iva and Shyvana was originally the connection for her to try to find and kill Shyvana, but now it has become the "kite string" in Kalya's hands.

When Ino met her family in Mithril City, Shyvana in human form could stay with her in Mithril City as a partner, but Iva in dragon form could not.

Therefore, according to Kalja, Ivar can move freely in the nearby mountains and wait for recruitment.

When Ivar heard this, he promised well on the surface, but turned around and ran away, running all the way north to Freljord - it also thought clearly that it had been transformed into an ice element. There is a giant dragon, so as long as you fly north, you can always get rid of that dangerous guy.

Unfortunately, Shyvana notified Kalya immediately after discovering that she was far away from her.

Then, Kalya decisively activated the contract and forcibly recruited Iva.

Iva, who was recruited, flew north with all his strength, but in the end he could only flap his wings in mid-air. In the end, he could only be led by Shyvana and arrested, and then Kalya took care of him.

While imprisoning Evelin, Kalya studied quite a bit on "how to make her feel pain without hurting Iva."

After this time, Ivar seemed to have accepted his fate and became completely honest.

Ino, who watched the whole process, felt a little strange - I don't know if it was her illusion, it seemed that Iva's escape this time was the acquiescence of Kalya.

It seems that Teacher Kalya is just waiting to punish Ivar!

However, Ino, who had learned about Ivar's past from Shyvana, was very understanding of Kalya's thoughts.

Shyvana, who can communicate and reason, is a special case.

Like most elemental dragons, Ivar is a cunning beast at heart.

For the beast, there is no point in talking or discussing. Only a heavy blow can make her understand who is the boss.

According to Kalya, before becoming an ancient dragon, the elemental dragons had wisdom, but not much.

Therefore, the essence of training a dragon is to tame an animal.

When Ino arrived at Fosbello, Lux was still leading the soldiers to Lagario along the glacier track.

This means that Eno does not have Forsbarrow's official status at this time, and specific work cannot be carried out yet.

However, although the administrative work cannot be started yet, the investigation of Forsbarrow can be carried out first. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is also time for Teacher Kalya to take Shyvana with her so that she can better integrate into the human race. Come into the society!

So, just like when Lux and Ino first arrived in Piltover, before Lux arrived, Ino and Shyvana split up and started the first period of Forsbarrow's socioeconomic survey.

There is nothing to say about Ino's investigation. She has already conducted specific investigations in Piltover, and she also served as Secretary-General in Zaun for three years. She is already familiar with this kind of social investigation - although she Her appearance is not as friendly as Lux's, but if necessary, it is not difficult for her to chat with people and collect information.

Shyvana is in more trouble.

Even with Kalya's personal guidance, her appearance and identity directly make it difficult for her to communicate directly with others.

Although the people of Fosbello are considered hospitable, no matter how hospitable they are, they are generally unwilling to accept a guest who hides his or her secrets.

Let alone conduct a socioeconomic survey, even if Shyvana mustered up the courage to chat with people with Kalya's encouragement, she would often get wary looks and wordless silence.

This situation makes Shyvana quite frustrated. She believed Ino's statement that "she can integrate into Forsbarrow" and was willing to come here. But judging from the current situation, she wants to be accepted by the people here. But it's not easy.

However, Kalya has his own method for this.

"A unique person. People are wary of her not because she is different from them, but because they don't know why she is different from them." After Sivana hit a wall for a day, Kalya gave his own Explanation and solution, "The people of Fosbello have never seen you like this. They don't know whether you are a good person or a bad person, so they will always be wary of you."

Hearing what Kalya said, Shyvana could only nod silently.

"So, you need to give yourself an identity that they can accept." Kalya continued, "I'm afraid Fosbairo can't directly accept a dragon now, but in addition to being a dragon, you also have other identities. .”

"Do I have other identities?" Shyvana was a little confused, "The daughter of Ivar?"

"No, no, no, I mean, you are still Mrs. Piltover!" Kalya chuckled, "Didn't you grow up in Piltover since you were a child?"

"Mrs. Piltover?" Shyvana blinked in surprise, "So, I have to get along with them as Mrs. Piltover?"

"That's right." Kalya confirmed this statement, "Although the comprehensive socio-economic survey has not yet begun, Ino and Lux ​​have been here several times before - compared to other Demacia cities, The people of Forsbarrow are more interested in business, and for them, even if an investor from Piltover seems a bit strange, they should be more willing to accept it.”

Kalya's method surprised Shvana.

It had never occurred to her that Mrs. Piltover could also be used as another identity to hide her identity as an elemental dragon.

However, if you think about it carefully, Kalya's method might actually be very effective. Although she doesn't know the specific data, Shyvana is certain that the distance from Forsbarrow to Piltover is more than 10,000 miles. .

People here may have heard of Piltover, but they may not know what Mrs. Piltover looks like at all.

Just like when Shyvana was a child and her friends thought her horns were some kind of Hex device, what happened to Lady Piltover's horns?

However, after thinking about this, Shyvana soon realized some other problems.

You don’t have any money at all. How can you be an investor if you don’t have money?

As for this, Kalya has obviously already considered this.

"Investors may not carry a large amount of cash, and Forsbarrow's commodity economy is underdeveloped. Even if you want to buy something at this time, Forsbarrow may not have anything to sell you!"

……………………

Under Kalya's guidance, Shyvana used her own cloak as raw material and cut herself a simple coat and a Piltover-style OL skirt.

Although she doesn't have high heels, Shyvana has a tall figure. Wearing this slim coat and short skirt, she really looks like she belongs to a Piltover chaebol.

However, although the appearance condition seems to be fine, even with Kalya interpreting at the same time, Shyvana will still show timidity whenever she opens her mouth.

No way, although she has a very kind personality, she has nothing to do with extroversion - compared to taking the initiative to communicate with others, Shyvana actually prefers and is accustomed to staying silently among people.

Fortunately, Kalya also has his own method for this.

"Look in the mirror and see how you look now, Shyvana." Before going out, he gave Shyvana some special training, "That's it, remember how you look now, faceless. Just look good.”

"But shouldn't merchants be familiar with themselves?" Shyvana obviously didn't quite understand what Kalya meant, "If I have an expressionless face, then I don't look like a businessman from Forsbarrow, right? "

"You are an investor! Not a small businessman selling gadgets!" Kalya corrected, "Have you forgotten the character background I prepared for you?"

"A young man who left Piltover, competed with his elder brother for inheritance, and wanted to prove himself." Shyvana had a good memory. "I came to Forsbarrow thinking that this was the gateway to Forreland from Demacia. Zhuo De’s fortress has great commercial potential.”

"Yes, that's it. You are a young man with a rich family and an urgent need to prove yourself!" Karya warned, "Your age is your biggest advantage. Everyone is always more tolerant of young people."

"But even if my identity is real, the locals still don't want to talk to me?"

"You are different from Ino." Kalya explained, "Ino is originally from the North, so she can go directly to the locals to chat, and she can talk to people for an hour even after having breakfast - but you should do Yes, I went to the Chamber of Commerce in Forsbarrow and got to know more people through the local chamber of commerce.”

"Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's right, the Fosbarrow people have their own chamber of commerce, which sells their local specialties to Xiongdu. You should visit them - as long as you win the trust of the chamber of commerce, it is equivalent to gaining the trust of all the people of Fosbarrow. .”

Blinking her eyes, at this moment, Shyvana finally seemed to understand something.

……………………

The administrative area of ​​Forsbarrow is very large. According to the geographical and administrative divisions of Demacia, the entire "Forsbarrow area" is included. Therefore, the socioeconomic survey of Forsbarrow must be a task that takes quite a lot of time and energy.

However, even if the investigation has not yet been completed, thanks to Lux and Ino's previous trip north with the caravan, Kalya still has some basic understanding of this border city.

At least from Lux's chat with the previous caravan owner, Kalya knew that one of Forsbarrow's specialties was a plant called "Ling Ginger", which was very popular in Demacia.

According to the caravan owner, they grow in the cold wild permafrost and require professional ginger pickers to dig in spring.

After the roots of Ling Jiang are dried for more than a month, they will be sent to the capital of Demacia by caravans and sold as spices. The price is quite high - but unfortunately, its yield is very low and often The entire Forsbarrow ginger pickers have been busy all spring, and only a few hundred kilograms of ginger have been dried.

This time, Shyvana will play the role of a "businessman who is very interested in Lingjiang and wants to see if he can buy it in large quantities and sell it to Piltover."

After doing some mental construction for herself, an expressionless Shyvana finally arrived at Forsbarrow's Chamber of Commerce.

Like most buildings in Forsbarrow, even the Chamber of Commerce's business building looks rather rough at first glance.

Winter is coming soon, and the payment for goods returned from the Chamber of Commerce's previous trip to Xiongdu has been settled. At this time, the store is quite deserted, with only a few clerks going in and out. It seems that they are packing up the warehouse.

Seeing Shyvana arriving, the guys carrying the groceries were a little stunned - who is this?

Looking at Shyvana's horns a little strangely, a clerk put down the groceries in his hand and said proactively: "We don't accept retail business here."

"It's not a retail business." Shyvana shook her head expressionlessly, "I heard that this is the origin of Lingjiang? I want to buy Lingjiang in bulk."

"Then I'm afraid you came at the wrong time." Hearing this, the clerk couldn't help but shook his head, "Lingjiang is always in demand, and it won't be unsold when it's delivered to Xiongdu. Today's Lingjiang has been sold out - the payment has been paid. , if you want Lingjiang, come back next year!”

"Then do you accept reservations here?" Sivana followed Kalya's instructions and continued, "I hope to directly order a batch of lingjiang."

Hearing that Shyvana was going to book Ling Jiang, the guy's expression finally became subtle.

"I can't say for sure about this kind of thing." He shook his head slightly, "Please wait a moment, I'm going to ask our boss to come."

With that said, he motioned for Shyvana to follow him, took her out of the lobby and took her to the side reception room, asking her to wait here.

A moment later, Shyvana met the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce - none other than the owner of the original caravan.

"This lady." After seeing Shyvana, the caravan boss smiled and spoke first, "I heard that you want Lingjiang?"

"That's right, I can pay part of the deposit in advance for large quantities of Lingjiang." Although Shyvana didn't have much money at all, she still nodded, "I saw Lingjiang at the spice shop in Xiongdu, Demacia, and I heard the boss there say, Lingjiang comes from here.”

"Yes, lingjing is indeed a specialty of Forsbarrow." The boss of the Chamber of Commerce heard this, and the smile on his face became a little brighter. "But, judging from your accent, it doesn't seem like you are from Demacia, right?"

"Is it that obvious?" Shyvana pretended to be confused, "I thought I didn't have an accent?"

"Haha, because only foreigners would call the capital the capital of Demacia." The boss of the Chamber of Commerce explained with a smile, "Also, judging from your dress, it looks different from the locals."

"Hextech!" Shyvana pointed to her head proudly, "Have you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it!" The boss of the chamber of commerce's eyes lit up, and he took out a pocket watch with his hand from his waist, "You are Mrs. Piltover!"

"Oh? You know this too?" Shyvana's eyes fell on the pocket watch, "A clockwork pocket watch?"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, a clockwork pocket watch!" The boss of the Chamber of Commerce closed the cover of the pocket watch with a click, "It turns out to be a friend from Piltover!"
