Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

The day after leaving the port of Dornhold, the Blue Crystal officially entered the Sea of ​​Conquest.

As the color of the ocean became darker and darker, the wind and waves on the sea became stronger and stronger, and the entire ship of the Blue Crystal began to become more and more bumpy.

Lux was not used to the floating feeling under her feet. Even though her strong body meant that she did not have to worry about serious seasickness, her throat was still itchy when a big wave hit.

Even with enough sleep, her head was always groggy.

Under this situation, Kalya could only temporarily cancel her tutoring and could not make specific plans with her.

Ino simply seemed to have no feeling for the wind and waves, so Karya simply began to tutor Ino wholeheartedly, giving this ice bloodline who had good talent but seriously lagged behind in learning progress some extra lessons.

Speaking of which, even according to Kalya's standards, Ino is considered to have good talent, no less talented than Lux. Although the talent for ice magic is not as rare as light magic, after Kalya's inspection, he found that Ino There is at least one-eighth of the ice blood in the body, which means that one of Ino's great ancestors is of Freljord's ice blood.

Kalya doesn’t know much about the ice bloodline, but what is certain is that Ino’s bloodline has greatly enhanced her talent in ice magic. It is precisely because of the ice bloodline that she can awaken early. Magic, and it will not cause the magic to get out of control.

You know, without Kalya's help, Lux would still have to wear gloves and be unable to control her magic power until she was eighteen years old.

However, because Ino's foundation is so poor, and the environment here is not suitable for cramming quietly, Kalya cannot start from the basic theory like he taught Lux.

Taking into account the need to improve the team's combat effectiveness, Karya simply changed his teaching ideas and focused directly on practice.

Although Ino's magical power is not as amazing as Lux's, it is still quite good and is completely enough to support daily training.

In this way, Lux and Ino, who originally lived in two cabins, simply moved together. The "by-product" of Ino's daily study, ice cubes, could effectively alleviate Lax's seasickness.

Kalya believed that after going through the assault training, by the time the Blue Crystal arrived at Kalamanda, Ino should have a considerable degree of combat effectiveness - how could he be a main force in Noxus if he was thrown into it? The kind who is the leader of a group of mage squads.

……………………

The fifth day after leaving Dornhold.

The Blue Crystal has arrived at the center of the Sea of ​​Conquest - even in the cabin, when the wind and waves come, it feels almost like a pirate ship in an amusement park.

The entire Blue Crystal has lowered its sails as much as possible, and even took the initiative to lower a mast. In this state, the armed merchant ship is simply a tumbler in a violent storm, relying entirely on the ballast cargo in the bottom warehouse to maintain the most basic conditions. The balance will not overturn on the spot.

Lux lay helplessly on the sailor's bed, looking at the gray sky outside the porthole with her eyes, while Ino diligently studied the spell model under the guidance of Kalya.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and after a moment of noise, the door of the cabin was knocked.

"anyone here?"

"Who?" Lux asked through the door while chewing ice cubes, "What's the matter?"

"I am the boatswain of the Blue Crystal." The visitor introduced himself unhurriedly, "We are about to arrive in dangerous waters. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I would like to remind passengers that please do not leave yourself today. There will be a dedicated person to take care of everything in your cabin, and a sailor will deliver meals and replace the wash buckets later."

"Well, I understand." Lux agreed, "I won't run around and cause you trouble."

"Thank you very much." The boatswain seemed satisfied with Lux's reply, "The blue crystal armed merchant ship will protect your safety, don't worry!"

After saying that, the boatswain left Lux's door and knocked on the next cabin door.

"Dangerous sea area, what is that?" Ino, who heard the conversation, couldn't help but asked curiously, "It seems serious?"

"Ask Lux to come over, and I will briefly introduce the current situation to you."

Ino nodded, stood up, came to Lux's side with his sword in hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and took Lux's hand.

"There are dangerous waters ahead. If there is any accident in the next day, you two must be prepared." Kalya's tone rarely became serious, "In terms of voyage, we should be close to Dornho by now. The midline from Erde to Kalamanda, this is the center of the ocean, with high winds and strong waves, and there are also pirates, so you two should be more careful."

"Pirate?" x2

Lux was quite surprised to hear that there might be pirates, while Ino was full of panic - they had never seen pirates, they had just heard of the name.

"As the war in Ionia has intensified in recent years, almost all the Noxian navy has been sent to the First Land." Kalya explained in a low voice, "Without the navy's suppression, Bilgewater The pirates are becoming more and more lawless... To be honest, I am not surprised at all to meet pirates here."

"But how did you know this news?" Lux asked curiously, "How come you haven't heard of it?"

"Although the aristocratic banquet has complicated etiquette and makes people unhappy, it is indeed a good way to collect information." Kalya said matter-of-factly, "Of course, few people are as idle as me. I listen to everything and remember everything. - Anyway, just do as I say, keep a low profile tomorrow, and just get through this dangerous sea area!"

"Okay!" x2

Naturally, Ino nodded hurriedly, and Lux ​​also agreed sickly.

As a result, in the evening of that day, Lux saw a huge pirate ship through the porthole.

The pirate ship seemed to have a set of semaphores (unfortunately, Lux couldn't understand it at all), and also launched a round of artillery fire (none of which hit) - and almost at the same time, the Sapphire Crystal also fired back (also completely empty) ).

However, judging from the scale of the bombardment (mainly the number and height of the water splash), it seems that the Blue Crystal is actually better?

As if sensing that the Blue Crystal was not easy to mess with, the pirate ship finally stopped following it after following it for a while, causing Ino, who had always been nervous, to let out a long sigh of relief.

The day after the pirate encounter, the Blue Crystal ended martial law.

In the evening of the same day, the strong wind that had been blowing for several days finally stopped.

Lux, who was almost getting moldy after staying in the cabin, finally came to the deck again.

When she stood on the side of the ship, watching the sunset on the sea and listening to the sound of the cable being tightened repeatedly after the sail was propped up, Lux suddenly felt that the salty sea breeze could be so lovely.

"It's so beautiful, isn't it?" Just as Lux was taking a deep breath at the sea, the boatswain's voice came from behind, "When the storm subsides and the enemies are far away, even the most unruly villain can He will sincerely praise the Serpent Mother for her blessing; even the stingiest captain will willingly give his share of the tithe."

"What a wonderful comparison." Lux subconsciously maintained her noble demeanor, and then realized that she was no longer in Demacia. "Well, I mean, I saw the pirate ship yesterday and I was shocked."

"Don't worry, the Blue Crystal armed merchant ship is safe and trustworthy." Mr. Boatswain showed a bright smile, "If possible, I also hope that the lady can support our shipping business - manned delivery, we are all professionals of."

Having said this, the boatswain took out a cardboard card from a wallet and handed it to Lux.

Looking at the golden [Midarda Shipping Trading Company] on the paper card, Lux realized at this time that the other party's initiative to talk to him was to promote business.

Also, it is said that the first-class cabin on this kind of armed merchant ship is quite expensive. Considering that I booked two cabins with Ino but only stayed in one, the other party must regard me as a big customer.

So, after taking the name note, Lux nodded politely, put it in her pocket, and said that if she had the opportunity, she would definitely recommend and choose the Blue Crystal.

After getting a satisfactory answer, the boatswain said goodbye politely, and then returned to his job again.

Looking at the other party's back, Lux couldn't help but sigh, the business atmosphere here is really strong.

In Demacia, many things in business are linked to status. Only nobles can buy many things, and commoners do not have extra money to buy consumer goods.

Therefore, promotions often occur at noble banquets, and more often through word of mouth among nobles.

And here, the boatswain personally came to sell things door-to-door. Judging from his words, he looked carefully prepared... This is really completely different from Demacia!

As the sun set and the bright moon rose, the Blue Crystal continued southward and finally entered the Shark Sea.

Although Lux didn't see the legendary shark nor heard the shark's song, at least it was a peaceful journey from then on.

Three days later, the Sapphire Crystal armed merchant ship successfully arrived in Kalamanda.

Lux and Ino dragged two huge boxes down the gangway and set foot on the land of Shurima for the first time.

Kalya’s Little Lesson·Tithe:

There is a rule in Bilgewater that every time you go to sea, you must throw a Kraken coin into the sea to let the snake mother protect them from disaster. This is called tithe. If you don't pay tithe, you will Pulled into the water by the Titan of the Deep.
