Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Lux obviously already has some ideas about the development direction of the fur trade.

The next thing she has to do is to carefully study whether the possibilities she has thought of are unrealistic conjectures or practical realities.

And Lux ​​can think of these things not because of her extraordinary talents - in fact, she can think of separating the leather-making industry from hunting, or using magic to process the final step of fur, to a large extent. Because of her experience in Zaun.

For Lux, she learned a lot during her three years in Zaun, including the part where Kal Yal gave instructions and the subtle influence of Moisturizing Things.

It was precisely because she witnessed the large-scale production and division of labor between Zaun and Piltover that after coming to Forsbarrow, Lux almost subconsciously thought of using more advanced and efficient production methods to improve Forsbane. Luo's current production methods.

As early as when she was a model of Demacian nobles, Kalya told her that "more efficient and more stable production is the direction of development of civilization", but it was not until she lived in Zaun for three years and in Shuri After Ma walked all the way, Lux truly understood the meaning of Kalya's words.

In addition, understanding the fur industry from multiple perspectives independently and without Kalja's guidance also gave Lux a new understanding of the "universal connection of things." Sometimes it just makes sense and you know it's right. You will understand it if you put it forward for analysis, but if you want to use it fluently, it requires more practice.

Theories without the support of reality are destined to be empty and can only be mastered and understood by a few people. The integration of knowledge and action is the best way to transform the world. Kalya can teach "knowledge", and Lux ​​and Ino have personally experienced it. "OK", so in Forsbarrow, she could easily come up with an improvement direction that at least seemed to have no problems to deal with the accumulation of furs that the Freljord trade could bring.

And this is exactly what Kalya wants to see.

It is foreseeable that in addition to supervising the excavation of artificial lakes and basic teaching, Lux's free time will be filled up with the courses left by Kalya - from this point of view, Kalya is trying to climb Mount Targon. And the energy training she was asked to carry out was somewhat like "using people as animals".

It's just that Lux enjoys it. She believes that her current efforts will become an opportunity to change Forsbarrow. This is enough.

……………………

While Lacus was busy, Kalya also took the supplies under the leadership of Ino, left Forsbarrow, and started heading north along the mountain pass.

Speaking of which, this trip to Freljord is also very interesting.

The ice mages of Group 11 are all waiting for Ino's command with trust.

Although the construction of the artificial lake has not yet been completed, the big pit has gradually taken shape. This is what everyone is seeing - for this kind of Laxana-style plan (actually a Karya-style plan) , the ice elemental mages in Group 11 are quite confident.

Then, just when they were expecting to hear an incomparable plan from Ino's mouth, the answer given by Ino was "Learn Freljord first."

plan?

Planning also requires basics. How can you, rookies like you, who don’t even know how to speak Freljord, collect information about a hammer?

Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, unlike the relaxed and happy previous literacy class, Kalya directly chose to increase the intensity and asked everyone to take the guide invited by Grandma Ling to go with them and learn as they go.

What, you said it’s too difficult to learn while walking, and you have no intention of studying while rushing on a snowy day?

Are you kidding me? Didn't Kalya specifically select so many ice elemental mages just so they can "move around freely in the cold winter of Freljord"?

Moreover, in order to make these ice elemental mages more motivated, Kalya also kindly set up a "control person" for them.

Ino also needed to learn Freljord from scratch, and her learning progress will become an important indicator to inspire others - within three days of the journey, Ino was able to speak with the guide in Freljord Daily conversation, this fully proves that Freljordian can be learned quickly!

Of course, Ino's quick Freljordian learning was somewhat cheating, because Kalya was also learning Freljord at the same time, and Ino's learning results were almost the total results of her and Kalya.

However, objectively speaking, Freljordian is indeed relatively simple, primitive simplicity.

Even though it is one of the oldest languages ​​in Runeterra, Freljord still does not have a relatively complete and clear grammatical structure. According to the guide, Freljord does not have long sentences.

There are adjectives used to describe, but using more than two adjectives in a sentence can easily cause ambiguity, so most of the time, Freldrow people like to use shorter sentences when communicating.

Therefore, in terms of quick learning, Freljord does have its own "unique" side. Mastering a large number of basic vocabulary, and then combining it in a way that causes no ambiguity as much as possible, you can understand Freljord. .

So, seven days later, when the guide led the team to Port Peril, all members of the team almost had the ability to communicate in Freljord.

And this also means that the real intelligence gathering can begin.

……………………

Boreal Harbor, Tavern.

Recently, the Breath of Anivia has become stronger and stronger, and the snow has become heavier day by day. The sea surface near Port of Peril is wrapped in a thick layer of ice.

In this kind of weather, unless you bring enough supplies and go far away from the port and deep into the ocean, even an ice troll wielding a big stick and possessing brute force will not be able to open a hole for ice fishing in this layer of ice. .

But Avarosa and the Winter's Claw are at war. For the Walrus Tusk tribe in Peril Port, if they rashly go ice fishing far away from the port at this time, they are likely to encounter trouble.

The combination of the two has directly led to the extremely prosperous business of the tavern in Boreal Port this year. In addition to having children at home, the diver hunters who cannot go ice fishing can only come to the tavern to pass the time by bragging.

The owner of the tavern has been collecting money and hemp recently - oh, no, there is no widely recognized "money" in Freljord. It should be said that he is collecting goods and hemp.

Although these diver hunters all look dark and fat, in fact, their property is the largest among the Freljord people. If there is no war, the diver hunters of Walrus Tusk will take advantage of it. In winter, when the oils of cold-water fish are most abundant, they can smear their bodies with walrus oil in far-ocean areas far from the coast, then open ice-caught holes in the less-thick ice sheets and dive into the water.

Using specially processed swim bladders, these diving hunters can stay underwater for more than a quarter of an hour. Such a long activity time is enough for them to use the barbed harpoons in their hands to catch enough fish that have changed due to low temperatures. Got to be a slow fish.

Even the toughest hunters in the Walrus Tusk can band together to catch the winter's roving baitfish.

Although the fish oil of this ferocious fish is extremely precious, its ferocity is also quite alarming. The danger level is often on the same level as sea insects. Even Bilgewater's professional fishing boats that can hunt various common sea monsters need to be equipped with Only professional harpooners can attempt to catch it.

However, in the cold waters of winter, these diver hunters can take advantage of the time when the cruising baitfish are at their lightest and most unresponsive after reproduction, and directly complete the underwater siege. Considering that the small tribe of Walrus Tusk does not Without the Ice Bloodline, this would undoubtedly be an astonishing achievement.

The net worth of the Walrus Tusk Diving Hunters with such fishing ability is naturally very amazing. The fish they catch on ice are all rare species rarely seen in the market. In addition, the Port of Peril is close to Demacia, so occasionally there will be daring ones. Businessmen travel back and forth. Even if these skilled divers are slaughtered by businessmen, they can exchange for many good things.

Therefore, even though a cup of strong ale in Demacia costs as much as ten pounds of herring for a few coppers in this tavern called "Tears of the Walrus," a total of more than twenty barrels were still sold this winter.

The deep-sea hunters who had nothing to do gathered here and drank with stories, but just like the owner of the tavern cunningly mixed the wine with water, the stories of these old fishermen often contained obvious boasting.

"When I led the team to catch baitfish..."

"Come on, you only participated in one capture, and you were the one responsible for cleaning up the dead fish!"

"How can it be a dead fish? The bait fish cannot die before it leaves the water!"

"So what?"

"How's it going? They used to deal with the bait fish together, but when it's time to clean up, I'll do it alone!"

"Isn't that just a dead fish?"

"I'll say it again, the bait fish won't die before it leaves the water!"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"You bastard, come and challenge me!"

"Who is afraid of you?"

"..."

"..."

It turns out that drinking and fighting are often closely related - for these extremely bored diving hunters, using fists instead of talking is also a good way to relax and vent.

Then, just when the two guys were about to punch each other, the door of the tavern was opened, and the Breath of Anivia mixed with snowflakes roared in, making the two guys' heads sober up a little, and their hands The movement is also a little slower.

Seeing that the fight seemed to be unstoppable, some theatergoers vented their dissatisfaction on the person who suddenly opened the door.

"Newcomer, hurry up and close the door, I'm still waiting to see——"

Halfway through his words, the guy's voice stopped abruptly - because he clearly saw that among the group of people filing in, the young woman in the middle had long silver-white hair, and she was only wearing one piece of clothing that looked very thin. robe.

There's an ironclad rule in the Freljord: the less you wear in the winter, the harder it is to mess with.

The ones who are more difficult to offend than those wearing less clothes are the young people with silver-white hair, because this often means ice blood.

Although forty or fifty outsiders are not easy to mess with, compared to these seemingly young ice travelers, it is the ice bloodline that is more frightening.

Therefore, after seeing Ino in a robe and long silver hair entering the tavern, the entire tavern fell silent.

The Walrus Tusk of Port Briar is just a small tribe. They have very few warriors and often rely on the Avarosa tribe. Therefore, for a young woman who may be of ice blood, these drunken diver hunters seem All sobered up.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

However, Ino was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he motioned to the ice mages in Group 11 to find a place to sit down, and he came to the dirty bar.

"Sake, one cup for each person, I don't want it." Ino knocked on the dirty bar expressionlessly, and then threw an equally dirty package on the bar, "Do you want to take this?"

The owner of the tavern glanced at the package and immediately showed excitement. He nodded hurriedly and stood up to pour the wine.

"Collect it, collect it." His hands and feet were particularly nimble today, not at all like the lazy profiteer he usually was. "There are too many of these, I can exchange them for several barrels!"

"I don't want a barrel of wine." Ino shook his head, "I heard that the fish meat in Boreal is very good, I want pickled fish meat!"

The price finally made the tavern owner hesitate, but he soon began to nod.

"Okay, okay, no problem, these drinks are my treat."

Then, just as Ino sat down with satisfaction and waited for the wine to be served, the drinkers who had calmed down finally started to yell.

"I've been drinking wine at your house for twenty winters since I got into the water, and you haven't even invited me to drink!"

"That's right, even if your daughter gets married, it's just a 10% discount!"

"You old stingy!"

"..."

"..."

Facing the noisy drinkers, the tavern owner steadily poured and brought out the first batch of sake, while yelling loudly that overwhelmed everyone.

"What are you yelling about? If you can find me a hundred ice troll canine teeth, I can also give you a free payment. If you can't, just shut up!"

This voice not only sounded high-pitched, but also had an immediate effect - all the drinkers closed their mouths and began to look at these deep ice travelers with doubtful eyes.

One hundred ice troll canines, which means that they killed at least twenty-five ice trolls. This does not sound like much, but considering the exaggerated recovery ability and amazing physical strength of the ice trolls, this record is Even for a small tribe, it is very useful.

Even if the Walrus Tusk mobilizes all its strength to find trouble with the ice trolls, it will not be easy to get the canines of these ice trolls.

And now, this leader of the Ice Travelers, who looks like he has ice blood, has one hundred ice troll canine teeth in his hand...

Thinking of this, the drinkers of Walrus Tusk looked at these deep ice travelers with more subtle eyes.

In addition to walrus oil, some tribes also apply seal grease.
