Chapter 168: Follow Up (400 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
A week later, the two were led by Zyra to a rainforest canopy, where they stopped to watch.
"Behind this is the largest settlement of Ishtar, and it should be their main city, right?"
Kai'Sa stretched out in front of the wall of trees, her curves displayed in full force with her tight Void Skin Armor.
"Why do you look relaxed, you don't know how to get in."
The two shoulder pods on the back of her shoulders were also not light, and Karn put his hand on Kaisha's back to prevent her from stretching and causing her center of gravity to shift backwards and fall, and when she was done, she slid down on her palms and charged a little interest.
Kai'Sa didn't mind him doing this, squinting her eyes and saying, "Wouldn't it be nice if you flew me there?" ”
"You can't take a leap rashly, the last movement has already attracted the road guards." Karn shook his head, he didn't know what was behind the rainforest canopy, if he flew over and met some productive residents, it would be exposed.
As for the army, Ishtar did not have an army.
Protected by magic and isolated from the rest of the world, Ishtar didn't need an army. The closest they could get to a professional army was the Guardians of Esseouken.
"Then let's just escape into the void and pass through." Kai'Sa said again.
Karn had transplanted his ability of reclusion to Kaisha's skin armor, who had learned that he could cross obstacles at will after entering the gap between the two worlds.
She felt that she was very fast, and it should be no problem to rush over directly in the reluctance.
"Don't use this ability to pass through walls until you don't know how thick the wall is going to cross, but if you make a mistake, it will be a death-defying result!"
Karn disagreed with the reckless suggestion, and immediately reached out and flicked Kai'Sa, who became angry and threatened to eat him.
But whenever he changes his position and doesn't play Kaisha's forehead, it's not such a development.
He then backhanded Kai'Sa in his subduing and dragging her deep into the woods.
"Wait, the waykeepers will be patrolling endlessly along the route between the towers, and they will also be on guard along the inside and outside of the rainforest canopy. As long as you are willing to wait, you will definitely be able to wait for them. ”
Three days later, one morning, as Karn recounted, the two men, leaning motionless against the trunk of a tree, finally spotted the roadkeeper.
At the same time, they poked their heads out from behind the trunks, one up and one next to each other, their heads with a total of six eyes. If this scene is seen by the road guards, I am afraid that I will have to have a nightmare for a few days.
The roadkeeper wore a dark green hooded cloak, with only an apron wrapped around his body, and his opening was so high that even his abdomen was encircled.
In addition, his legs are covered in open-toed straw sandals, and his hands are wrapped in arm guards. In his right hand, the ring blade was connected to the center of several magical threads, forming a pattern similar to that found in the geometry that Karn had done in high school.
For example, two of the threads are made by stacking one-third of the arc length of the ring into an inverted version, and these threads are intertwined with each other to form a more complex geometric pattern.
Knowing that this was what Ishtar called the axiom axioms, Karn always thought of them as geometry.
Fortunately, there was no need to ask for the area of such and such an area, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
As for why the characteristics of the road guards were so carefully considered, it was originally intended for Kai'Sa to approach one from behind, and then imitate their outfit to blend in.
However, after discovering that there were no women among them, and that the difference between them and the dark skin tones of the roadkeepers was too large, they abandoned the plan.
"Kaisha, you follow them incognito, and then go inside and give me a signal again, make sure that there is no one around, and I will fly over."
Karn said this to Kai'Sa as he watched the group of guards walk away along the rainforest canopy, who nodded and disappeared from his sight.
The guards patrolled until noon, when they were ready to return to Ish-Oken for the handover. During this time, Kai'Sa followed them like a ghost, watching their every move and listening to their every word.
But no matter how well she hid it, it still aroused the alarm of the road guards.
The roadkeeper who walked at the back always felt a cold gaze, he looked back from time to time, but he always found nothing, the stampede behind him was the footprints they left behind, which would soon be covered, and the silence of the dense forest was as usual.
"Do you feel like someone is following us all the time?"
When the first few road guards heard him say this, they all turned around, glanced around, and then came to a conclusion.
"No, maybe you're suspicious." And so they all said.
"Or maybe the little fox you fed outside the border last time sneaked up on you. They all said not to have any contact with things outside, not even wild animals. A slightly older roadkeeper said in a half-joking, half-reprimanding tone.
"But I feel like the sight is still there."
"It's normal, the jungle outside has been alive for thousands of years, and I heard Yuntar say that a ferocious spirit of nature was born in the jungle. Since trees have spirits, it's normal for you to feel this way. ”
Ishtar was not ignorant of the outside world, and they had already been aware of the birth of Zyra.
However, instead of trying to control Zyra, they simply hid in their comfort zone and blindly avoided it, eventually allowing Zyra to occupy the entire southern rainforest outside of Ishtar.
Then they used the story of Zyra to warn the people that even the trees were sinister outside of Ishtar. It is an extension of the catastrophe and the terrible miasma.
Use such a statement to extinguish the curiosity of the people to explore the outside world.
To this day, the vast majority of the Ishtars still think that the entire world outside is occupied by the void, full of monsters and death, and only the Ishtar sheltered by the canopy of the canopy is the only pure land.
It was the first generation of Yuen who turned the axioms of the beginning of the Yuan into weapons and sealed the borders to save Ishtar from the fate of darkness.
Seeing that the young man was still suspicious, he urged again: "Let's go, don't be suspicious, you won't be able to catch up with the hot meal if it's too late." ”
As he spoke, he slowly wrapped his ring blade around his arm, as if cutting some invisible thread.
With each turn, the hanging vine web opened up like a curtain, and the bushes inside fell to the sides, and the roots and stems jumped out of the ground, bringing up small patches of dirt.
Finally, a narrow passage emerges in the wall of trees.
"Keep up." The first person was the first to step into the labyrinthine passageway, followed by the others.
And Kaisha, who was hidden in the void, also followed these words and followed them closely.
The ring blade continued to turn, and with each turn, the dense vines under the rainforest canopy retreated in front of it. Behind them, the vines climbed back onto the path, blocking the path.
Kai'Sa must maintain an unhurried pace so that she doesn't get too close to the wayside guards and is not overwhelmed by tumbling vegetation.
