Chapter 171: Kiana
Say, what's the matter that deserves you to come all the way to me. ”
Kiana restrained her smile, but the confidence that emanated from her words and actions was stronger, as if nourished by Samson's obedience.
This self-confidence is built on humility with others.
At less than 30 years old, Samson is the youngest cohort of Yunthal and has a bright future. But even so, in the face of this woman who was only half his age, he did not dare to complain in the slightest.
"It's not convenient to say here." Samson looked at him left and right.
Seeing him like this, Kiana became even more interested, and led him to the middle of a circular staircase.
"Can you say it now?"
Samson nodded: "Your Highness, the people from outside have come in. ”
"Which outside...... Wait, you're talking about 'outsiders', right? Kiana's pupils shrank slightly, and then a flash of excitement flashed.
She didn't know how many years Eshtar hadn't been in an outsider, but at least she hadn't grown up until now
"Samson, what do you think?" She asked.
"Whether this matter is big or small, it all depends on His Highness."
Samson knew that Kiana was not afraid, from the time he passed the trial to become Yunthal.
Kiana was the only daughter of her fertility who had come to congratulate him, and she also gave her opinion on what they had seen together in the trial, and about the big lie that the elders had put together.
She was arrogant and conceited, but she was the only one of the many hypocritical elders who made Samson feel real.
I don't know what makes her look far into the sky, or what makes her confident, but she is absolutely unique among the Ishtars.
"Okay, I'll handle this matter, don't tell the other elders, including my father, queen mother, and those sisters." Qiyana clenched her fists as she spoke, and a smug smile crooked the corners of her mouth: "It's just a little thief, see how I pull her out." ”
After explaining what had happened to Kiana, she left in a hurry.
Loneliness loomed over Samson again, and he wondered if he might as well stop by the mentor who had deceived him for twenty years and maintain his hypocrisy with politeness.
Their original relationship was not so stiff, but the trial in the tower revealed everything, and the days of being teachers and friends were no longer going back.
Once upon a time, Samson was just an ordinary kid living in a small border town, full of curiosity about the world behind the vines.
His father was a gardener who tended the rainforest canopy, and his mother was a hunter. But instead of following any of the paths his parents had planned for him, he embarked on the path of the elements under the teachings of another Yuntal.
He remembered the moment when he presented the first ancient relic he found in the river to his mentor, and she hesitated, thinking that his endless curiosity had impressed her before he was accepted as an apprentice.
He was so fond of telling her about his naïve conjectures, so much looking forward to becoming a n'entar, so eager to explore the unknown with her fellow sages.
But now, he only feels that he must be very stupid at that time.
Yes, every elemental envoy who has passed the trial to become Yuntar will be revealed by the ancient power contained in the pedestal at the final moment of the trial.
Their consciousness will travel around the Runeterras along the threads of the original axioms, and then they will find themselves in a giant lie since childhood.
He once firmly believed that Ishtar was the last pure land in this world, but after learning that Ishtar was not the only place that had resisted the catastrophe, the anger and disappointment of being deceived spontaneously arose.
Samson couldn't help but look back sadly on the first half of his life, stifling his curiosity because of empty lies, and never daring to take a step outside of Ishtar.
And his father, a horticulturist, was so proud of his work but so ignorant of the true meaning of the vine curtain.
Everyone is stupid except Yunthal.
From ancient times to the present day, they have woven such a big lie to isolate Ishtar from the outside world and keep his people in the dark.
Countless generations, from birth to death, have not known what the outside world is really like.
Samson felt ridiculous that he had worked so hard for the past twenty years to study the original axioms in order to become part of the lie.
Now he reluctantly accepts this reality.
The Elders are not wrong, Acacia, Shurima, Fukuko Island, all civilizations have been extinct one after another, and it is the decision of the first sages that allowed Ishtar to survive here and avoid the poison of the outside world
But he was still disgusted, but after disgust, he had to join them in ensuring the safety of Ishtar.
Just after he saw the hypocrisy of the elders, Kiana found him just in time.
She came both to celebrate and to make friends.
Kiana is a very ambitious person, and Samson knows that she is not the only one who is appreciated by her.
But Kiana did help him.
Long before he became Yunthal, Kiana, who had just shown his talents, heard that there was such a talented apprentice in a distant border village in the words of the elders.
So she asked Samson's mentor to send him some gifts, two wind ropes, which can increase the user's control over the elements.
Although he later learned that it was the silk thread drawn from the robe of Yunthal's identity, which he had drawn casually after becoming Yunthal, at the time, it did help him gain more control, comprehension, and wisdom.
This is why Samson prefers Chiana to the hypocritical Elders, because her extraordinary talent and ambition for expansion allow Samson to see a great sage who has the potential to change the status quo of Ishtar.
So after thinking about it, he decided to report the matter to Chiana.
……
Karn and his wife spent a week wandering through the mountains around Ishokon, encountering many waykeepers and mining mage towers, climbing mountain after mountain before finally finding the first dragon.
Standing on a steep mountain, he looked at the foot of the mountain.
A giant dragon, with cyan scales all over its body and fins on its tail, perched in an open-air river valley, its small half of its body soaked in green water.
Karn was stunned when he saw the terrain, a strong sense of déjà vu that hit his brain.
Isn't this the Little Dragon Pit in the Summoner's Canyon? It turns out that the terrain was taken from here.
Moreover, this is still a water dragon!
But after the initial excitement, Karn soon discovered that the dragon had no eggs!
