Chapter XXIV, Kamandala
With that, Tyrone's finger was placed in the middle of the map, on the north side of the Great Barrier, where the War College was marked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Since we have to pass through the War College, which is quite heavily guarded, and Miss Caterina and I are both registered official members of the Alliance, there is a good chance that we will be discovered. ”
At this time, Caterina took Tyrone's words, patted Lines on the shoulder and said slowly:
"So, we'll get off halfway, bypass the War College, and cross the Serpentine River from the Howling Swamp to chase down the envoys of Demacia, and try to finish them off before they reach Freljord. ”
Lines nodded as if he didn't understand, for he was a shallow person, the names of places in Katerina's mouth were just nouns, and he didn't know what these places were or what they looked like.
Seeing Lines's appearance, Caterina didn't say much, just smiled, and then found a comfortable corner and lay down.
"While these two days are still relatively free, you'd better rest well, and when you get to the War College, it's hard for you to close your eyes. ”
……
Despite what Caterina said, Lines couldn't sleep, and he was very curious about everything when he was away for the first time.
The terrain of Noxus is extremely dangerous, itself built on the branches of the grand barrier, and the Iron Ridge Mountains to the north enclose a large plain like an iron bucket, and from the tower of Noxus you can look down on a large area, and if anyone attacks from here, they will have to pay a terrible price.
Most of the villages attached to Noxus also choose to settle in this area, and at the same time provide food and labor to Noxus, so there is a lot of farmland and pastures in this area, although it is already winter, the farms and pastures are only a layer of snow, but against the surrounding mountains and the Noxus in the distance, there is an indescribable beauty
"It's picturesque, it's like Medinius. ”
At this moment, Hadias, who had rarely stopped for a while, suddenly spoke.
"I look forward to it every time I see it, because I can imagine what this place would be like if it were a sea of fire. ”
"Medinius, where is that?"
At this time, the curious Raines couldn't help but ask, from his contact with Hadias these days, he had gradually felt that the reason why the sword in his hand could speak was not because of the bad taste of a certain swordsmith, but because there was indeed a soul living in it, and the inexplicable words he said were also very likely to be true.
"What? How long have I been asleep, don't the humans of the world even remember Medinius? ”
Medinius?
Lines was well aware that he had not heard the name of the place from any legend, just as he had never heard the name of Hadias.
"Ah...... But it's normal.,Human nature is to forget.,Maybe you changed your name in some event.,After all, you're an ignorant little guy who can't have heard of something like an ancient place name.,Really,I actually found such a hillbilly this time......"
Hadias began his soliloquy again, and Lines could barely make out the logic of his words, but he couldn't interject and could only continue to look at the scenery outside.
The caravan set out in the morning and marched westward, as if following the footsteps of the sun, and gradually, the dark clouds that had been hanging over their heads gradually dispersed, and the blue sky gradually appeared, and the people around them became more and more rare, and the villages became fewer and fewer, and Raines, I don't know when, also fell asleep.
……
"If you don't learn to be more vigilant, you may not wake up anytime soon. ”
When Lines regained consciousness, he was awakened by the words in his ears and the chill in his neck.
He slowly opened his eyes and found a dagger holding the back of his knife around his neck.
Thinking about the voice just now, Lines had already guessed who had called him.
Syllable!
Something hit him hard in the back of his head, and then the dagger around his neck was withdrawn.
"Really, you don't really grow. ”
Caterina made a didactic gesture, crossed her hands on her hips, and said to Lines, then jumped out of the carriage.
"Come down and get something to eat, we're going to part ways with the caravan tonight. ”
Tyrone lifted the tent of the carriage and said to Lines.
Stepping out of the carriage, the red sunlight from the west shone on Lines's face, Lines, as a person who lived underground in Noxus, had never seen a sunset, and finally opened his eyes a slit.
I saw that under the illumination of the blood-colored sunset, a huge crystal floated in the air, and the red light emitted illuminated the small cracks inside the crystal clearly, and countless mysterious rune arrays were carved on the altars around the crystal, gathering energy one after another, shooting a pillar of light from the crystal to the sky.
Faced with such a spectacular scene, Lines was shocked for a while, and was speechless for a while.
"What the hell is this......"
At this time, Hadias, who had always regarded himself as a magic sword that had lived for a long time and had seen it for a long time, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and he could feel the shocking energy emitted by the huge crystal in the distance.
"Sure enough, no matter how many times I saw it, I thought it was really spectacular, and it was a miracle that could be compared to the magnificent barrier. ”
At this time, Tyrone on the side looked at the huge crystal and said slowly.
"It's spectacular indeed, but it's even more spectacular if this thing is Noxus. ”
Caterina tapped Lines on the head and said.
"The world's largest energy hub, made of several pieces of the largest rune crystals that can be mined on the continent as an energy source, molded with obsidian and a huge amount of precious metals, responsible for maintaining the energy supply of the War College and the super fortress on it, it can be said that it is one of the miracles of the current Valoran continent. ”
Tyrone said as he pointed to the giant crystal, and with that, he also pointed around.
"Kamandara...... Or New Kamandara, originally a small village located in the north of Moros Pass, is famous for the discovery of the largest rune crystal deposit on the continent, but it was relocated here due to war and is currently under the direct jurisdiction of the League of Legends. ”
Hearing this, Lines took a closer look around, the surrounding houses were very different from Noxus, not the kind of mixed stone and earth, but with the traditional method, built with square stone bricks, which looked exceptionally beautiful, and the people on the street were all smiling, and the shouts of the surrounding shops and the smell of food in the restaurants were mixed together, showing a harmonious scene that Lines had never seen, not at all like refugees who were forced to relocate due to the war.
"There's not much time for us to enjoy the scenery, Tyrone, you take this little imp to find a place to stay, and I'll do something. ”
Woke up the stunned Raines, Caterina said without looking back as she walked, and then a dodge flashed into the crowd.
