Seeing Lux's face full of determination, as if he was sure that he must have a secret plan that he told her, Kalya simply shrugged his shoulders after failing to pretend to be stupid, and left his place.
"Ah, I do have some plans, but they are not mature enough, so...what do you think?"
? ? ?
Lux, who thought she had finally caught Kalya's pigtails, was stunned. She never expected that Kalya would choose to show off in the face of irrefutable facts!
If I knew your plan, would I need to ask?
However, seeing that Kalya has already put on such an attitude of being indifferent, based on Lux's understanding, even if he had to break the casserole and ask the truth, he would probably tell the truth.
If you want to know what Karya is planning, I'm afraid the only way is to speculate on your own and then ask Karya for confirmation. If you really guessed Karya's intention, then with the pride of the teacher, I probably won't lie.
After getting along with each other for so many years, Lux finally discovered that Kalya is actually a person who is very good at deception, but not good at lying.
Being good at deception and not being good at lying may seem to be different things, but Lux knows very well that what Kalya likes to do most is to provide true information and then induce the other party to draw wrong conclusions on their own!
The proud Kalya is never willing to say things that are inconsistent with the facts, but the smart Kalya can always make the other party move at his own pace. The effect is much better than lying!
Narrowing her eyes, Lux seemed to transform into a golden fox. She did not continue to pester the silent Kalya, but turned to look at Yin Nuo.
"Tell me about your experience in Shurima." Lux finally found a breakthrough, "Be careful and don't miss any details!"
After Kalya came back, Yinnuo briefly told Lux about the experience of the trip to Shurima.
But that was just a rough description, just briefly talking about where they went and what they did.
And now, at the request of Lux, Yinnuo began to tell the experience of the trip to Shurima very carefully in front of Kalya - Yinnuo was talking, Lux was listening and observing carefully. Looking at Kalya, trying to see something from the other person.
But it's a pity that Kalya seems to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease. No matter what Yinno said or what Lux asked, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
But even so, Lux quickly pinpointed what she thought was the key point.
"The guy you're talking about looks like a ray and explodes after absorbing the eternal flames. What is that?"
"It should be some kind of void creature. It seems to have adapted to the void creature in Runeterra." Yin Nuo gave his own answer. "I asked Teacher Kalya and he said that he had never seen such a thing before. It can be easily The main way to clean it up is the eternal flame."
"It's really interesting." The corner of Lux's mouth turned up slightly, "If we talk about the special attack on the void, it seems that the eternal flame is much stronger than the monolith, right?"
"I've never compared this." Yin Nuo shook her head helplessly, "But to be honest, it's hard for me to imagine that there is anything that can restrain void creatures more than the incandescent flames. Have you ever seen Kai'Sa? She is already with the void. She is in a state of biological symbiosis, but the teacher can still separate her from the void..."
It seems that Kalya has been studying the monolith on his own because of the imminence of the void. This trip to Shurima also clearly confirmed this. The encounter with the void creatures proved the depth of the void's penetration into Runeterra.
However, since Kalya has already given away the prince's feathers and established a relationship with Ikasia, why not just use the eternal flame in one step?
Is it because the principle of Eternal Flame is still unclear and its use is unsafe, or is it because Eternal Flame's restraint effect on the void is not as good as it seems?
Lux recalled the few words that Kalya told herself about the battle of Icathia.
The Icathians made mistakes in this regard at the beginning. They thought they could control the void with the eternal flame, but it turned out that after the cracks in the void tore the earth apart, they could not control the void.
A weak little flame means nothing.
Kalya has always been a person who is good at summing up experience and lessons. He chose the more reliable monolith as a weapon against the void, which seems to be a more feasible possibility.
But...this shouldn't be the whole reason.
Soon, Lux focused on Kalya's subsequent journey, then compared it with the map, and began to outline Kalya's route of action.
This is a perfect circle.
There was still a little information missing, and Lux still felt that she had overlooked something.
It wasn't until Yin Nuo talked about the part where Kalya gave her theoretical lessons that she suddenly realized it.
"Teacher Kalya." Lux, who had already understood the teacher's intention, confidently came to Kalya, who was still pretending to be Alzheimer's, "May I ask, what did Ixtal inherit from Shurima?"
"A lot." After hearing this question, Kalya showed a smile that was both gratifying and helpless. "But you guessed it right, the main legacy of the monolith is indeed in Ixtal."
"So, Ixtal is your next target?"
This time, Kalya did not answer directly, but shook his head helplessly.
"So, you need to study the monolith carefully. I don't know how far the Ixtar people have studied the monolith after so many years - don't embarrass me!"
……………………
Lux finally found the key to the problem that Kalya did not explain clearly.
In fact, in Kalya's eyes, the void is indeed a threat, but the threat of the void is not enough to require Lux to take time out from busy government affairs to study the introduction to advanced elements - in Kalya's plan, The fight against the void should not rely on individual heroism, but on a comprehensive system with clear division of labor.
The construction of the monolith did not rely on one or two people, but the complete magic system of the Shurima Empire and the full power use of the sun disk under the idea of great revenge.
And Kalya asked Lux and Inno to spend time studying the monolith now, largely because Ixtal has some problems now.
After Kalya was reborn, he never went to Ixtar.
But Xiao Huangmao has been there.
Although in Xiao Huangmao's travel notes, he chose to keep the Seven Princesses of Ixtal a secret and did not touch upon the inside story about Ixtal, but Kalya, who had read Xiao Huangmao's travel notes in full, only had a brief chat with Yin Zeruil. After chatting, I discovered a lot of interesting things.
In Ixtal, there are many things that Yinzeril can only see on the surface, but after his description, Kalya can see through their essence - just like Yinzeril doesn't know that the elemental furnace that currently maintains Ixtal is running. What, but after asking some detailed questions about the nature of the material and the appearance of the building, Kalya knew it well.
Without Kalya, Ixtar might have embarked on a path of studying the original axioms, treating elemental magic as orthodox magic, and bringing it into life.
However, with the influence of Kalya and the glory of the Shurima Empire, Ixtal cannot let go of the Shurima plot now.
Therefore, although the Ixtal whom Yinzeriel met studied elements, in the Tower of Elements of Ixoken, Ixtal also built an energy source similar to the sun disk.
So, here comes the question, what did the Ixtal people do as a source of energy?
Kalya initially thought it was a world rune.
However, after meeting with Kassadin, getting more information about Ixoken's Tower of Elements from the other party's clearer description, and learning about the changes of the Underworld Blade within the Tower of Elements, , Kalya was shocked to discover that Ixoken's Tower of Elements was probably extracting the power of the monolith.
To be honest, after reaching this conclusion, Kalya couldn't believe his own judgment.
Although theoretically speaking, as an artificial creation of pure elements, monolith can indeed be used as an energy source, but using monolith, an easy-to-control pure element, as an energy source is simply like burning diamonds.
This is pure waste.
It's a pity that no matter how unwilling Carl is to accept it emotionally, at least from what Kassadin and Yinzeriel see, the Ixtal people are relying on Ixoken's Tower of Elements to develop their own elemental magic system.
Of course, if the matter only ends here, then Karya's guess is still just a guess and cannot be counted.
The most critical piece of evidence comes from Yin Wa.
Kalya and Yin Wa have signed a dragon contract.
If you want Yin Wa to advance to the ancient dragon level, a very important step is the baptism of pure elements.
During the Shurima Empire, the baptism ceremony of pure elements was always held in Ixtal.
After returning to Forsbarrow, Kalya specifically asked Yinva to go to Ixtal.
Since Yin Wa usually did not stay in Forsbarrow when Sivana was at home, no one noticed Yin Wa's quiet disappearance.
As a result, when Yinwa flew around Isuoken's Tower of Elements and returned to Forsbarrow, Kalya gave it a detailed inspection.
The results of the examination showed that she was indeed exposed to elemental infectious radiation unique to the monolith.
This kind of radiation will only appear when the monolith disintegrates and its pure element structure is destroyed.
In fact, when the Shurima Empire was able to create monoliths, a large part of its manufacturing theory experience came from the Shurima Empire's pure element baptism ceremony for the elemental dragon - although the elemental dragon has the title of element , but it is not an element in itself, but if you want to catalyze it into an ancient dragon, you need to apply powerful elemental infection. The elemental dragon cannot withstand the elemental infection on a normal flesh and blood body.
In order to find a powerful but not violent elemental infection that the elemental dragon could accept, the Shurimans finally chose to first create high-purity pure elements, and then use the infective radiation of the pure elements. , come to baptize the elemental dragon.
Infectious radiation appeared around Ixoken's Tower of Elements. Either the Ixtar people were using a monolith to baptize an elemental dragon with elements, or they were breaking down the monolith to obtain its energy.
Combining this with the previous experiences of Kassadin and Yinzeriel in Ixtar, Kalya reluctantly came to a conclusion that he least wanted to see.
Ixtar, who inherited most of the monolithic elements from the Shurima Empire, regarded this power as the new "Sun Disk".
As a result, Kalya had to prepare for "protective rescue".
……………………
Protective resuscitation is important.
But after all, studying the monolith's occupation is just Lux's "spare time."
During office hours, Lux still has to worry about Forsbarrow's integration strategy - even after the previous experience, with the population explosion of the three cities of Forsbarrow, Xinfucheng and Xinfugang, has been increasing, and the difficulty of management has been increasing exponentially.
Thanks to her receiving the baptism of celestial energy and having reliable helpers around her, as well as Fosbarrow's multi-level clerk structure, the smooth operation of the integrated strategy was maintained.
During this period, the capital of Demacia held a very grand emperor-proclaiming ceremony, and Jarvan IV crowned himself true to form.
At this point, the Kingdom of Demacia has become a thing of the past, and now is the era of the Demacia Empire.
After the kingdom was promoted to an empire, the first thing he did was to reward meritorious deeds. Jarvan IV changed his previous aggressive attitude towards the nobles and did not adopt a governor-general system. Instead, he maintained the power of religious interpretation and military organization. He acquired the noble fiefdom of Demacia and upgraded it.
At the same time, Demacia's nobles also received title promotions one after another. Although Jarvan IV did not seek the title of king, Peter Crownguard, who had just retired not long ago, and Barrett, who holds the purse strings for the kingdom, Bouvier, were all promoted to dukes.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
People have benefited, but if you take a closer look at the promotion list, you will find that in the entire Northern Territory, among the three northern towns of Owendale, Mithril City and Forsbarrow, only the lord of Forsbarrow remained motionless. .
Moreover, what is even more interesting is that, except for Peter Crownguard, Lord of Mithral City, and Gunther Rimmer, Lord of Owendale, many Northern Lords have not been promoted.
In other words, in the entire Northern Territory, the only people who have been promoted are Peter Crownguard and Gunser Rimmer, as well as some insignificant barons whose fiefdoms are better than nothing.
The meaning of targeting is obvious.
In response, the northern nobles who originally had a subtle psychological burden on "recruiting civilians from the south" quickly let go - since Forsbarrow can attract the civilians under his rule, he should also be able to Attracting civilians from the south!
As for the southern nobles who have higher titles and arrogantly dominate themselves?
We in the North have always played our own games. If you don’t go to the dance in Xiongdu, how can you come to the North to disgust me?
It was also when the contradiction between the north and the south of Demacia was gradually becoming apparent and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger little by little that a shocking news reached the capital.
Demacia's Shuriman caravan encountered an ambush on the Ningwu Road. All the goods were lost and the escorting soldiers were wiped out. Only Taric and several elite Dauntless Vanguards managed to break through. With the support of the rangers, they narrowly escaped death. Still alive.
