Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Forming an organization dedicated to collecting intelligence is something that Kalya has long wanted to do - not only because of this Freljord war, but also because Lux currently lacks her own information channel.

When she was in Shurima, Lux could still eat Kalya's coffin book and rely on some wonderful information Kalya provided to do things, but in the north, close to Freljord, what did she want to get? For intelligence, you have to rely entirely on yourself.

From the official side of Demacia, Lux can get first-hand information from the Crownguard family and even the Lightshield royal family.

As for the news from the people, even the news from Freljord, Lux is now completely blind. Although she can get a glimpse of the news from the rumors in various chambers of commerce or taverns, it is obviously not enough to satisfy Lux. Intelligence needs.

Just like this time's Freljord War - because of this war that has nothing to do with Demacia, the entire northern region is in turmoil, and the artificial lake excavation project has almost come to a halt. If Grandma Ling hadn't obtained According to the news, Avarosa has a trade request, I am afraid that Lux is still nervously wary of "the Freljordians who may go south"!

In the past, the Demacia Northern Army wanted to collect information about the Freljord and could only rely on sending Dragon Bird Knights for high-altitude reconnaissance.

But for Lux, her wrists are undoubtedly much more flexible.

Not only can you rely on Iva to carry out more convenient and larger-scale high-altitude reconnaissance, but you can also use the frost mage to directly conduct reconnaissance as an ice traveler!

Although these frost mages don't know how to detect at all... But it doesn't matter. The first time and the second time are familiar. Frost mages naturally have a special identity in Freljord. If you want to inquire about some less important information, the problem is still not big.

Through these "less important messages", Kalya can conduct special intelligence classes for them, allowing them to learn to analyze and identify these messages, thus giving Lux a pair of eyes and ears on the ice sheet.

After that, using these "special skilled workers" as the basic framework, and then from special to general, Fosbairo will have an organization of its own that can obtain and analyze intelligence from various channels!

After all, as the stall gets bigger and the Master's lectures become more and more detailed, it is impossible for Kalya to have someone follow her through the streets like she did when she took Shyvana to do the Forsbarrow socioeconomic survey. Collecting information bit by bit is too inefficient.

And all of this starts with the Freljord after the war - after the battle between Avarosa and Winter's Claw, the situation in Freljord will inevitably be in chaos, and the muddy waters will be the worst. It’s a good time to fish, and this is the best time to teach the rookies in Group 11!

Lux, Ino and Sona gathered together again and held a brief meeting.

In the next period of time, Ino will take Kalya and the 11th group of frost mages on the "Iva", fly over the Dragonspine Mountains, and go to Freljord to find out the news.

During this period, due to Kalya's absence, the advanced spellcasting courses needed to be suspended.

Because the construction at the temporary camp was temporarily suspended for a period of time in preparation for the war some time ago, it happened to be possible to resume the construction period and make up for the previous progress while Kalya was away and the advanced classes were suspended.

The excavation work only needs to be maintained step by step. "Technically difficult topics" such as planting trees on the lakeside have been almost completed. At present, except for the reinforcement plan for the lakeside dam after the completion of the main project, other matters have not yet been finalized. There are not many engineering issues left.

"Lux, for at least the next month, you will truly be an independent lord." Before leaving, Kalya said with a smile, "Last time you led the team from Demacia to Fuzhou. Sparrow did well along the way, I hope there won’t be any problems this time!”

"Of course it's no problem!" A confident smile appeared on Lux's lips, "Teacher Kalya, don't look down on others. Back in Zaun, I was also a beloved leader——"

"The situation in Forsbarrow is not as simple as in Zaun. Before I leave, I will leave you with a homework question." Kalya ignored Lux's confident answer and continued on her own, "Frey What kind of impact will the trade in Erzod have on Fosbairo, and what does it mean to our career? I hope that you can give an answer based on logic and rationality based on your understanding of Fosbairo—— It can be written or verbal.”

Lux hasn't been given homework for a long time, and even when she was overwhelmed by homework before, she had never been given homework like "predicting the future".

However, this issue is indeed what Lord Fosbarrow should think about and consider the most.

In the past, as long as Lacus was willing to ask, Kalya would always break down everything he could think of and talk to Lacus. But this time, Kalya had simply comforted her once before and taught her not to make random analogies. Said carefully.

Lux thought that Kalya would explain it in detail at this meeting, but Kalya left this question to herself as homework!

Suddenly there was an extra homework, and Lux ​​was a little sluggish.

"Okay, just think about it slowly - walk more, see more, listen more, I can only advise you so much." Kalya seemed to be happy to see Lax's confused look, " Let's go, Ino, call the members of Team 11, bring five days' worth of rations, and go to Grandma Ling. I think she would be happy to be your guide and introduce you to Freljord!"

……………………

Kalya walked cleanly.

As soon as the members of Group 11 returned to the temporary camp and began to brag about what they had seen along the way, they were gathered together again. Then, with the eyes of other groups mixed with envy and jealousy, they began to receive supplies on a per-person basis.

In the evening of that day, the members of Group 11 left the temporary camp and headed towards Forsbarrow City.

Lux, who stayed in the temporary camp, announced the news of resumption of work and hosted a bonfire party. After returning to her tent, she could not sleep for a long time.

It's not that she can't sleep without Kalya, it's mainly because the homework that Kalya left for her really makes her unable to sleep.

In the past, Kalya has always been responsible for this kind of issues and thinking - as Lux's external brain, Kalya can always help Lux handle problems very appropriately in terms of strategy.

And Lux, who is used to trusting Kalya, usually only needs to deal with the problems in front of her.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, Kalya is like the system and NPC that issues tasks. It will always break down a huge problem or a far-off goal into problems that Lux can handle, and then Leave it to Lux.

As Lux said, in Zaun, she was once a beloved leader and had organized many projects and activities. But in fact, for every activity, Kalya first explained its meaning and role, and then After clarifying the specific process, leave it to Lux to implement it.

Although in this process, Lux is also learning to analyze the situation and formulate plans bit by bit, but compared to the wily Kalya, she still has a big gap.

This time Kalya left, although the homework left for her was to "think about how the Freljord trade will affect Forsbarrow and what it means to Lux's career", Lux has a I have a hunch that if my answer satisfies Kalya enough, the subsequent trade with Forsbarrow may have to be completely left to me.

Lux, who realized this, was both nervous and excited.

Although Kalya is a very kind person except for a few bad tastes, when it comes to education, he rarely praises others - sometimes even Lax acts coquettishly in the hope of getting a little praise, but all he gets is It can be a great and heartfelt compliment.

Lux respects and even worships Kalya, so she is very eager to get Kalya's heartfelt praise.

And now, Kalya's test is such an opportunity, and Lux ​​has already felt Kalya's hope for her.

From the time they met, Kalya never seemed to worry about his magical talent. Even when climbing Mount Targon, he still calmly arranged everything for himself, but now, for the first time, he will control The power was put into my own hands...

How can this make Lux not nervous or excited?

So, the next morning, Sona saw an excited, tired, and even somewhat nervous Lux.

"You don't seem to have had a good rest?" Sona stroked the strings hesitantly, "Lux, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, unprecedentedly fine." Lux clenched her fists, "Let's go, Sona, let's go have breakfast together. I have many things I want to talk to you about...I have never been like this because of a job. Nervous and excited.”

Sona blinked and immediately understood what Lux meant. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. In the end, she could only nod her head and had breakfast with Lux.

During this period, Lux has been talking about her thoughts and plans. Although she has not carried out strategic planning from scratch and judged the impact of one thing, following Kalya for so long, at least in terms of seeking truth from facts, Lux has already carried it very clearly.

Therefore, according to Lux's idea, she should start from the Chamber of Commerce and see what impact the Freljord's products can have on Forsbarrow in addition to monetary income.

Sona strongly agrees with Lux's entry point.

After all, according to what Mrs. Bouvier taught, if you want to understand any industry, you should go to that industry to understand it. Since you want to think about the impact of northern trade, it is normal for the first step to fall on the Chamber of Commerce.

Then, following her previous habit in Zaun, Lux began to prepare the specific issues that needed to be investigated when going to the Chamber of Commerce to investigate.

While preparing the question, she discovered some uncertain factors: according to Lux's idea, she needed to make a rough estimate of the content of the northern trade, but the current situation is that she only knows the part of Forsbarrow. Specialties, I don’t know what the Freljordians can sell.

"Fels and ores, these are the only things I'm sure the people of Freljord will have." Lux frowned, "It's a bit troublesome - furs and ores are also Forsbarrow's main products, and the ores are fine. , different types of ores have different uses, and there doesn’t seem to be much internal competition, but as for furs, it seems that whether they are furs produced in Freljord or Fursbarrow, they are used to keep out the cold.”

So, here comes the question, will the Freljord furs brought by the northern trade be too small to have any impact on the current Demacia fur trade, or will they be too large and too cheap? And what about the local furs that squeeze Forsbarrow?

If you want to figure out this problem, you must first figure out the current fur trade situation in Demacia.

In Demacia now, is the fur trade in short supply or oversupply? Is this situation stable over a long period of time, or does it fluctuate violently?

Blinking her eyes, Lux was a little surprised to find that she seemed to be able to solve the problem easily?

After crossing out "Asking about the fur trade", Lux quickly wrote "Understand the specific situation of the fur market" below, and then after thinking about it, she added "Understand the fur market and other fur markets."

After these two questions, Lux broke down the problem in detail. For example, after "understanding the specific situation of the fur market", she marked the price, scale, transportation, channels, output, use, Processing and a long list of keywords.

Vaguely, Lux suddenly felt that her behavior was a bit familiar - wasn't this what she had been doing when she was investigating in Piltover?

However, at the time, Kalja only said that it was to investigate Piltover, and did not say why doing so would allow for a more detailed understanding of Piltover.

Moreover, compared to the previous investigation, this time Lux seemed to want to know more and more details.

Thinking about this, Lux was a little surprised. Why didn't Karya need to investigate so much if she wanted to know about Piltover?

Is it because you have experienced so many investigations like this that you already have some kind of division in your mind?

Shaking her head, Lux wrote down the question and then stopped thinking about it for the time being.

Putting away the investigation details, Lux spent the morning routinely supervising work on the construction site, and then ran directly to Forsbarrow City without even eating lunch to start today's investigation.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Sambol, who was doing the accounting at Fosbarrow Chamber of Commerce, was shocked to see Count Laxana coming to visit.

Then, just when he was wondering why the other party suddenly came here, Lux took out his investigation notes.

"I have some questions to ask you about Fosbarrow's trade issues." Lux sat upright, looking very serious, "It's mainly about the fur trade."

Hearing this, Sambol nodded subconsciously.

Ask, you are the lord, you have the final say - since Sambor has chosen to trust Lux, he is still willing to cooperate on this matter.

Then, as Lux asked the questions she had prepared one by one, Sambol quickly lost the ease he had at the beginning.

Big drops of sweat broke out from his forehead, rolled down his face, and silently soaked his lapel fur coat.

The questions asked by Count Laxana are all related to the fur trade.

But what Sambol never expected was that he couldn't answer many of these questions!

Regarding the scale of the fur trade, transportation links, price fluctuations, etc., Sambol could not say that he could answer them easily, or at least he could answer them easily.

But when the question came to "fur processed products", "fur distribution channels" and "fur trade competition", Sambol became a little confused.

It's pitiful that he is just the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Fosbarrow. Even though the fur trade in Forsbarrow does go through his hands, in the final analysis, he only purchases furs through the Hunters Guild in Fosbarrow, and then Sell ​​them at exhibitions in Xiongdu according to different fineness and quality. In the final analysis, they are not out of the scope of business, and the hard-earned money earned from running errands is all.

And these questions from Lux... gave Sambor the feeling that they were the same questions asked by the controller of the fur trade in order to better control this trade!

Questions that he had never thought of before came one after another, and ideas that flashed into Sambor's mind came one after another - although Lux was not actually proficient in trade, she had "furthered training" in Zaun. Three years later, she returned to the northern border of Demacia. In terms of thinking, she was naturally much higher than Sambor!

Trading is about buying low and selling high.

Sambol knew this, and he also knew that the furs in the north were cheap and the furs in Xiongdu were expensive. He had channels on both sides, so he was a dealer of Forsbarrow furs.

But Lux's question was as if she wanted to find out in detail how much money Forsbarrow's fur trade could make, and how much money the entire Demacia fur trade could make - how could this not make Samborhan like this? Rain?

While trembling, Sambor couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

Why does Count Laxana care so much about the fur trade?

Could it be that what is she going to do about the fur trade?

But what could she do about the fur trade?

She probably doesn’t have a source of furs, right?

Just when Sambor was full of doubts, Lux's question asked about the purchase of furs, and upon hearing this, an idea suddenly flashed in Sambor's mind.

To whom was the fur trade most important in Forsbarrow?

Hunter Guild!

So, Count Laxana wants to cut off Forsbarrow's fur trade and take a hit from the hunter guild that relies on the fur trade?

Don’t forget, it was the Hunter Guild that was unwilling to cooperate before!

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Original Forsbarrow Trade:

Demacia's business and politics are closely linked, and Forsbarrow, who had no lord before, has always been excluded from this political business. In addition, its own products are not many, because the trade is quite primitive, even if It is a chamber of commerce, and at most it buys special products in the north and sells them in the capital to make a profit.

PS.39k/200k, Taobo, Taobo, what kind of snake skin are you playing with? Who do you look down on? It made me really angry.
