Earth time 2014, Christmas Eve, December 24, Eastern Ionian Islands in the Land of Runeterra.

"Mr. Xiao! Mrs. Shaw! We're here! Standing on a high mast, Taliya put her hand on the pergola and looked out over the eastern sea, where a touch of white had emerged, the girl exclaimed excitedly.

At this moment, it was evening, standing behind the guardrail at the bow of the ship, looking at the sea view of Ionia in front of him, even Xiao Yuebai, who had already prepared his mind, couldn't help but be shocked by the gorgeous scenery in front of him.

The sea is as level as a mirror, the blue sky is full of clouds, and the red glow of the setting sun coats the sky and the sea with a layer of vivid red.

Although it is also red, for some reason, no one can associate this red with blood, this red looks more like a delicate flower, dripping with the dew of the sunset.

As the outline of a city appeared in front of Xiao Yuebai's eyes, the excited Taliya grabbed a cable and swung down from the mast, came to Xiao Yuebai's side, pointed to the city and said:

"Mr. Xiao, that's the Ionian Window, the only harbor city in the Land of the First Born, Laiken."

On the way here, Taliya couldn't wait to introduce Xiao Yuebai, which was their first stop after arriving in Ionia.

Laiken is known as the Window of Ionia because it was the only port in Ionia that was open to the public, even before the invasion of Noxus.

Whether it was the Freljords who came across the sea from the north of Valoran, or the Birgewater from the southwest, they had to come to the city if they wanted to enter Ionia.

Over time, it became the second largest capital after Ionia. The second most prosperous city of Presidium.

It was only with the invasion of Noxus that this natural deep-water port was also affected, and according to Taliyah, the city built on the hill was surrounded by pine and cypress before the outbreak of war.

But because of the obstruction of the spirit of nature, Noxus completely wiped out all the plants on that mountain with an alchemy bomb.

Speaking of this, Taliya's face suddenly became a lot more lost, and she sighed faintly and said while standing beside Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha:

"I don't think if we had come here at this time before the war, we wouldn't have seen this bare mountain range in front of us."

"I've heard from my teacher that the scenery here used to be, with its colorful magical plants and all kinds of magical creatures, and that it would welcome everyone who came to explore the land with enthusiasm in the mountains."

"But with the outbreak of that war, all the good things that were once good have now turned into the rocks and broken walls we see now."

As a Shurima person, Tuliyah can weep for the foreign land where she once lived, and Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha can fully feel the girl's love for this land.

And the queen has long been curious about this land in her husband's previous narration and Taliya's narration along the way.

Especially knowing that this land has been destroyed by war, what is in front of her can still make the queen feel shocked.

She couldn't help but begin to follow Taliya's description, imagining what a beautiful and magnificent picture this place would have been.

As the image of the imagination came to mind, Keisha's thoughts began to diverge.

Now Kesha, after talking to Piltover and Camille, has learned to look at the world with both rational and emotional eyes.

So the current queen, with a new pair of eyes, or like her husband next to her, will stand in the perspective of both sides and look at the world in a contrasting way.

And now Keisha is also using this kind of eyes to observe the city in front of her, thinking about the impact of the war on the world, or on the general public.

Before she was summoned to the MCU world by her husband, she had already realized that war was a means of using violence to gain benefits.

And the excuses for this kind of violence may be various, which are more direct to ordinary people, and after civilization reaches a high level, in order to show the difference between oneself and lower beings, it will often use beliefs, ideas, freedom, and so on as an excuse.

This kind of violence may be glorified in any way, but it is undeniable that war will eventually cause harm to everyone, and these targets are not limited to the two sides involved in the war.

To see the extent and far-reaching impact of this injury, it is necessary to look at who has a higher moral threshold than the superior on both sides of the war.

But the ridiculous thing is that when the external factors of both sides are equal, the person who is often on the side with a higher moral floor is the final loser, which can't help but make people sigh.

At this time, the ship had already docked on the dock of Ionia, the gangplank had been set up, and after Taliya jumped on the dock, Xiao Yuebai led the still thoughtful queen to the shore.

Half a month of life at sea made Xiao Yuebai's feet touch the solid ground under his feet, and he had a sense of drift, and Boss Xiao, who had been a crew member, knew that this was a normal thing.

But the Queen, who was thinking about something, had apparently forgotten this, and when she took the first step, she swayed and fell to the side.

However, this is not because Keisha's physical strength is not good, but because the habits of the body have not been changed in time.

After all, after living at sea for more than a month, the body has already remembered the rhythm of the waves, and when you step on the ground under your feet after landing, the solid feeling will make the body involuntarily uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the queen rarely leaves her husband's side, and Boss Xiao also hugged her waist in a timely manner.

The sudden change made Kaisha sober up from her previous contemplation, and she glanced at Xiao Yuebai a little shy and happy.

After decades of tacit understanding between husband and wife, Xiao Yuebai naturally knew what the queen's situation was now, so he didn't say anything more about his beloved wife, but just tightened his waist in the middle of his arms and helped the queen to continue to walk forward.

Taliya was worthy of an Ioniatong, and after leaving the port and entering the city of Laiken, he quickly found a building.

It is a skeleton formed by several branches growing together, and a wall formed by people piling diamonds around the skeleton and then covering the roof with a strange layer of cloth.

Such houses can be found in every corner of the city of Laiken.

Miraculously, the Ionians, who lived in harmony with nature, believed that everything in the world was protected by the spirit of nature.

People are not allowed to cut down trees, harm animals in the wild, and dig wells to steal water, because all these belong to the spirit of nature.

If you pray to the spirit of nature when you need these things, then the spirit of nature will naturally deliver what you need.

In this way, the architecture of the Ionians is that after the spirit of nature receives the prayers of man, the tree grows into the shape of a house on its own, and the people become a house unique to Ionia after a simple repair.

Seeing that Tuliyah was communicating something with the master of the place in a very fluent Ionian language, it was only after a long time that the girl came back and said to the couple:

"Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao! I booked two of the best houses and they will take us there in a moment! ”
