Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Jax, who had received the Prince's Golden Feather Seal, left Fosbairo happily, and Lux ​​quickly devoted himself to his busy work - during the period when she went to the capital to attend the banquet, Fosbairo accumulated There are a lot of things that need to be handled by her personally, and now that she has such a large amount of income, it is foreseeable that Lux will be very busy for at least the next month.

But... Lux just enjoys it.

In the past few years, both Lux and others seemed to have become accustomed to Forsbarrow's fast-paced life.

Lux worked overtime from dawn to dusk.

At Xingang Pier, under the light of the big lighthouse, merchant ships one after another quickly docked and departed.

As long as these ships enter the reserved berths and the steps for boarding and disembarking are paved, there will be a swarm of porters waiting here to load and unload the goods as quickly as possible.

In this completely unautomated port, the loading and unloading of goods still requires manual handling. This handling method absorbs a large number of employed people. In Forsbarrow City, the Orions who have lost their competitiveness due to northern trade, A considerable number of them have joined the dock porter sequence.

For most porters, they prefer their current life as a porter to being a free hunter. Although this kind of work seems boring (it is actually boring), the money earned It’s not too much, but at least the harvest is guaranteed during droughts and floods, so there’s not much danger.

When you were a hunter in the past, although you could hunt some special rare animals and make a fortune, you were more likely to be injured or even die during hunting.

The hunting of hunters is different from the recreational hunting of noble men. They need to carry unpalatable, dry and hard flatbread with no special smell, and pursue the beasts in the Dragon's Back Mountains under various climatic conditions. Traces, and after discovering the beast, you need to carefully compare the differences between ourselves and the enemy. If you offend the enemy you shouldn't offend, your family will have nothing but food to eat.

The hunters of Forsbyro are not as happy as flying eagles. The life of holding the yellow on the left and holding the blue on the right is destined to be the embellishment of the noble master. In the Dragon's Back Mountains, the lush and dense woods will obscure the vision of the falcon, and The presence of large, dangerous beasts has also taught the Northern Hounds to shut up.

Therefore, compared with being a hunter, in fact, for these Forsbarrow people, there is nothing wrong with going to the dock to carry goods for others. If you have to say it... maybe after a meal and a glass of wine, They will look at the calluses on their palms and sigh, "Hunting skills are about to be lost," and that's it.

Just as Forsbarrow has been transforming from a remote country into a trade hub in the north, these residents who have lived in Forsbarrow for generations are also actively or passively embracing a new life.

The new life has more and richer food choices, children have a brighter and better future, and jobs have more stable and generous remuneration. Under this situation, even if the people of Forsbarrow are not very adaptable, they But they are trying to adapt. Except for a very few clinging to the old days, no one will miss the past.

After all...it has only been three years since the people of Fosbello had enough to eat.

……………………

Another merchant ship arrived at Xinfu Port, and another group of porters gathered.

While the pedals were being set up on the side of the ship, a young girl with blue braids quickly slipped up to the observation deck, looking down at the port city called Xinfugang curiously.

From her perspective, the size of this port city can only be described as pitifully small.

Whether compared with the Port of Piltover, which has four terminals, or the Port of Zaun, which has now almost fully realized Hex's automated packaging, Xinfu Port is an extremely small, small port.

"One, two, three...ten, this terminal only has ten cargo ship berths?"

"Come down, Blast!" Seeing that the pedals had been set up, Ike could only shout helplessly, "Let's go, it's time to get off the boat - thank God, we are finally going to get our feet on the ground."

While talking, Ike came under the observation deck, stretched out his right hand, and motioned for Blast to come down.

Then, a monkey backpack fell into Ike's hands, and Bao Bao happily ran down from the side. While Ike was hurriedly hanging the backpack on himself, he rushed towards the pedal, like three He jumped onto the pier like a giant leap.

"Bang bang, first place!"

Seeing this scene, Ike could only shake his head helplessly in the end, and then strode after him.

"I have already booked a hotel." After arriving at Baobao, Ike took out a map from his backpack, "However, it seems that Newport has changed a lot compared to when this atlas was published. , I’m afraid we need to find someone to ask..."

"No need to bother!" Bangbao shook his braid, "I just saw the bell tower - there should be the location of the bell tower on your map, right?"

"Ah, yes!" Ike nodded, "Bell Tower... The hotel I booked is not far from the Bell Tower."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Bao Bao's eyes lit up, "It's so slow to spin around here, get out your flying skateboard!"

Ike blinked and shook his head subconsciously.

"Flying skateboards cannot be used in the city..."

"Vazuan can't use aircraft!" Bangbao corrected, "This is Xinfu Port!"

"..."

Looking at Bao Bao who confidently stated that he wanted to ride a flying skateboard in public places, Ike couldn't help but shake his head.

"This is the city built under the leadership of Miss Lux." He held his wife's hand helplessly, "Do you think she would leave such a blank?"

"There is no Hex Technology in Xinfukang..."

"Maybe you should look up." Ike couldn't help laughing. "Without Hex Technology, this doesn't mean you can't fly."

Bangbang subconsciously raised his head, and then he was shocked to find that there were indeed many people hovering in the sky of Xinfugang.

"What do they rely on to fly?" Baobao looked at these people and opened his mouth wide, "What kind of big bird are they riding on?"

"Should it be called a dragon bird?" Ike flipped through a thick travel journal. "That should be the name. The Demacians domesticated this animal as a mount."

"That's cool." Bao Bao murmured, "I want to try it too."

"As for the dragon bird, there is no part about the riding experience in the tour guide. Maybe Forsbarrow doesn't have a riding experience business, right?" Ike was a little unsure, "Maybe we can ask someone later?"

"If not, then you should give it a try." Bao Bao became even more excited when he heard this, "Only things that no one has experienced can be more interesting and bring better sales if they are written down in travel notes!"

"...Dear, I need to remind you again." Ike was quite helpless. "This is our honeymoon trip. The core of this trip is not to write a best-selling travel book. I heard that Ezri Mr. Er's travelogue has been revised twelve times. The length of leave we can take is the limit. After returning to Wazuan, the Alchemy Association will not give us free time to revise it slowly."

"I am doing this to make more money and support the research and development of the PRO version of your flying skateboard!"

"Dear, the research and development process of the flying skateboard did cost some money, but its design passed the review of the Alchemy Association, and there is a special subsidy. It will not cost us any money at all." Ike tried his best to keep his face expressionless. Like, "If you are accumulating funds for your polymer experiment that cannot pass the review, then you can just be more direct-"

Without saying anything, Ike felt a little pain in his waist. He didn't need to lower his head to know that a monkey with its teeth and claws must have pinched the softest part of his waist.

"Okay, thank you dear for your support of my personal hobby." Ike changed his mind decisively, "As for the flight experience, I will find a solution later. Now we have to find someone to ask how the bell tower is gone." …”

The hotel Ike booked was not difficult to find.

In other words, as the only hotel that supports advanced reservation services, the location of this hotel itself is very particular.

It didn't take long for Ike to use his plastic Demacian to ask for the direction of the hotel.

"Those locals are so enthusiastic." Seeing that the hotel was right in front, Ike walked towards the door with Bamboo and said with some surprise, "Or do you think I speak Demacian very authentically?"

"Come on." Bangbao rolled his eyes disdainfully, "Your level of Demacian is not as good as mine. If I hadn't taken care of your poor self-esteem, I would have stumbled over you and couldn't remember how to say the word hotel. When it’s time, just ask others.”

"I'm just a little unskilled." Ike didn't seem embarrassed at all, and even played a single-pressure game once. "That's because I have no experience in traveling far away."

While talking, the two opened the door and entered the hotel, officially starting a unique honeymoon trip in Forsbarrow.

……………………

Three days later, when Ino took the initiative to enter the office and told Lacus that Ike and Bakubo had arrived at Forsbarrow, Lacus could hardly believe her ears.

"They are coming to Forsbarrow?" Putting down the document in her hand, Lux's face was full of surprise, "It's unbelievable... Didn't you say last time that Vazuan has no plans to send a special envoy to Forsbarrow for the time being? What?"

"It's not a special envoy, it's a personal matter." Ino's expression was also very happy, "Didn't I tell you last time that under the auspices of Fandel, Bao Bao and Ike got engaged."

"So... they got married?" Lux blinked, "So soon? I remember that guy Wei, he doesn't even have a boyfriend, right?"

"...Well." Ino thought of some of the rumors he had heard before in Wazuan, and finally did not say much on Wei's topic. "In short, this is the honeymoon trip of Ike and Bangbao. I chose Forsbarrow as my honeymoon destination.”

"They picked a good time." Lux nodded slightly, "It just snowed in Forsbarrow, and the climate is not unbearably cold yet. It is indeed a good time to play... Speaking of which, what do you think about opening a ski resort on the Longji Mountains?"

"Not very good." This time, before Ino could speak, Kalya decisively poured cold water on them, "Ike and Bangbao are special cases. The current Forsbarrow should not be and is not suitable for the development of tourism."

"Okay." After hearing what Kalya said, Lux finally shrugged, and then glanced at the wind-up clock on the wall, "So, let's have a meal together tonight?"

"Yes, that's what they mean." Ino nodded, "Teacher is coming too, Bao Bao needs a little help."

"Jinx is restless again?"

"No, it's not restless." Ino's tone was a little subtle, "But Jinx seems to be a part of Blast. From Ike's description, Jinx's state is very similar to those who have just awakened their magic power. child."

"This is really rare." Kalya was a little surprised when he heard this, "Okay, let's take a closer look at night."

……………………

During dinner, Lux finally met Ike and Blast, whom she hadn't seen for many years.

Compared with before, both of them seem to have matured a lot, especially Ike. Although his dress still has a strong personal style and sense of fashion, considering the large and small bags on his body, he has become more and more cool. The young man drifted away.

"How have you been lately?" After sitting down, Lux took the initiative and said with a smile, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you on your happy wedding yet!"

"It's not going well." Ike shrugged. "Except for the explosion of polymer experiments that always fail the safety review of the Alchemy Association, everything is going well."

"It's not that I can't pass the security review, it's that they don't allow me to borrow the most advanced security laboratory!"

"Private use is not allowed in the highest level security laboratory." Ike muttered subconsciously, then suddenly shuddered, and then a polite but embarrassing smile appeared on his face. "Maybe we can Plan to build a high-standard security laboratory that allows private use?"

"I saw your little move, bang bang." Just when Ike was trying to regain his respect, the sword that Lux had just placed on the table suddenly made a sound, "Wait, you fused with Jinx? "

"Teacher Kalya?" Under Ike's astonished gaze, Bao Bao grabbed the sword in surprise, "Can you speak?"

"I always will." Kalya's voice suddenly became calm, so calm that Lux and Ino next to him subconsciously sat up straight, "Just like for Ike, you have always -"

Kalya subconsciously lengthened her voice, as if she wanted to tell her some explosive little secret to calm her down.

Unfortunately, Bangbao doesn't seem to care about this at all.

"What about Ike?" She smiled and held the sword in circles, "Have you always been plotting against Ike? He is now my legal husband, and such a small thing cannot threaten me-"

Then, just when Lux and Ino thought that Kalya's "Remembering Childhood Method" was about to fail for the first time, Kalya calmly gave the second half of the sentence.

"Just like Ike, you have always wanted to free him from his busy study and work." Kalya's tone was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, "When you were a child, you wanted to blow up the workshop where he was an apprentice. Now, research polymer……"

Bao Bao finally panicked. She put down her sword and clasped her hands together, trying to silence her teacher.

But it was too late.

It is foreseeable that even if the flesh on his waist is pinched white, Ike will probably not agree to help Bangbang conduct research on polymer explosions.

Regarding the extra, a few words:

First of all, I'm very happy that everyone likes the prequel.

Secondly, some people said they wanted me to write a new book about Kalya - this is unlikely, because the prequels actually only add up to a few dozen chapters, and they will not be published even after they are finished, so they will simply be released as a side story.

Finally, regarding the extra charges, extra extras for every thousand monthly passes are free, and extra ones require a normal subscription.

Yes, it is like that.
