Chapter 504 In Noxus, there are only cowards and slaves
In the treehouse in the jungle on the border of Ishtar, Lyster, who was cooking honey barbecue, heard a knock on the door, and a somewhat frustrated Loi turned into a white-faced owl in a hurry, standing on the window edge and tilting his head to look at the door.
Pushing open the door, Doyne walked in with Babbitt and said in a stammering Shurima.
"Lyist, Empress, yes, your, request, this is Babbitt with you, yes, honorable, Hontar, for protection, us."
"Your Excellency Lyster, I will keep you safe until you meet the Empress, my name is Babbitt, and I am also a mage, if you have the chance, I hope we can have a magical exchange."
Although he couldn't feel the breath of mana in Lyster's body, Babbitt felt a certain heart-warming power, which made him dare not underestimate the man who was roasting meat in front of him.
"You speak Shurima well."
"Thanks for the compliment, Shurima is a language that every Yuntar needs to master, and I certainly won't be an exception."
Removing the golden kebab from the stove, Lyster handed the skewer to the white-faced owl under the puzzled eyes of Doyne and Babbitt.
Amazingly, the white-faced owl on the window edge actually opened its mouth and began to peck at the skewers.
"During the journey, I hope to begin learning the Ishtar language, and I wonder if Your Excellency Babbitt will be able to fulfill my little request?"
"Absolutely, it's my pleasure."
Duo Yin'er looked at the two people in a harmonious atmosphere, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, everything was going in a better direction.
"Your Excellency Lyster, when are we leaving?"
After a few brief compliments, Babbitt asked.
"Tomorrow, it's not early today, by the way, where are you staying tonight?"
"No, worry, we, have other, treehouse, can, live, it's in, not far away."
Doyiner hurriedly responded, trying to show his presence.
Having set the time for departure, Doyne and Babbitt leave the treehouse, the wooden door closes, and the white-faced owl transforms again, returning to Roy's true form.
"Big brother, you really can't take Luo Yi to mess with you? Roy doesn't want to go home and mess with ......"
The poor girl of the Misty Tail tribe began to wipe her tears, which made Lyster a little big, he didn't expect that just for a few days of cooking for Luoyi, Luo Yi pestered him, and he had to go to Ishtar with him, almost relying on himself like his parents.
Lyster, who no longer wanted to experience the pain of loss, couldn't help but regret that he had gone too close to the little one, but if he refused Luo indifferently, he would break his oath to take care of the Vastayas within the rest of his ability.
He hadn't forgotten the promise he had made to the old fellows of the Ancestral Village, and in fact it was a big reason why he accepted the little splash.
"Obedient, go home, maybe I'll visit you on the islands of the east when I leave Ishtar."
"Woo woo woo ......"
Sighing, Lyist decided to treat it cold.
The next morning, Doyne and Babbitt came to the outside of the tree house again, and just in time to see Lyster, who had been sitting outside all night, looking a little depressed, and the two couldn't help but look at each other.
"Your Excellency Lyster? You ......"
"Let's go."
With Aatrox on his back, Lyist glanced back at the closed wooden door, but did not open it again.
But before he had gone a few steps, a small white-faced owl flew out of the house and landed on Lyist's shoulder, looking very wronged and pitiful, but the bird's claws were tightly grasping Lyist's shoulder and refused to let go.
"Your Excellency Lyster, do you want to take this white-faced owl with you?"
"Lord Babbitt, isn't Ishtar allowed to keep owls?"
"Absolutely, Ishtar has always respected nature."
"That's good."
Taking a deep breath and holding the cute bird on his shoulder, Lyist stared at the white-faced owl's big eyes and asked seriously.
"If you choose to go with me, you will be by my side for the rest of your life, and I won't let go no matter what, are you really ready to decide?"
Under the bewildered gaze of Babbitt and Doyiner, the cute bird actually nodded very seriously, as if he really understood what Lyster said.
Lyster, who sighed, turned his burden in front of him, and placed it in the bag with the cute bird, revealing only a pair of big eyes full of pitiful.
"One by one, I really can't do anything about you."
……
All the way south, the group of three passed through the thick tree wall and vines, and left the maze of green barriers in the green maze, and when they reached the other side of the tree wall, their vision suddenly widened.
Looking into the distance, the majestic and majestic Esioken sits on the other side of the sky, and the four floating towers are as precise as clocks, rotating at a constant speed around the central tower, which is the destination of his trip.
Yuenthal is the ruling class of Yisutar, and Yuenalai is the royal family of Yuentar, living in the central tower and guarding Vidalian.
The village elders of Ishtar are directly appointed by Ishukan to serve as the head of the village, ranging from a few hundred to a thousand, and are mainly engaged in gathering, planting, and fishing and animal husbandry, providing sufficient living materials for the central Ishukun, and is a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy.
Most of these scattered villages are built on artificial rocks, in Babbit's words, Ishtar is surrounded by mountains in the very center, and the rainforest and miasma are natural barriers from all external dangers, but the jungle is not 100% safe for many Ishtars, and the jungle leopard and saber-toothed tiger can still take human life, so it is safer to establish the settlement on the higher rocks.
The change of seasons is meaningless in Ishtar, where the seasons are like spring, the climate is rainy and repeated, many times the sunny day turns into cloudy clouds, and heavy rain falls, so the lower Ishtar people like to wear straw hats similar to hats, as for the inhabitants living in Ishtar, the elemental energy of the central tower is enough to break the clouds and thunder and lightning above the sky, and only when the royal family wants to see the rain can it rain in Ishukun, and when necessary, it can also snow and fog.
It took about half a month, all the way leisurely to the Lyster to appreciate a lot of Ishtar customs and folk customs, for the Ishtar people, there are two very important festivals in a year, one is May 15 [Elemental Day], the other is similar to the National Day [Yuen Festival], the element day of the elements has passed, at the end of the year, the Isutar people began to prepare for the Yuen Festival.
The early Ishtars would be initially selected and managed centrally in the temple library.
Teenagers and girls with a talent for elemental magic will be selected by the Elders of Ishtar Village to further study at the Essutar Throne for in-depth study, (Note: Every Elder of Ishtar is an Ishtari mage who has practiced elemental magic, and becoming Ishtari is a necessary condition for becoming Ishtar),
Teenagers and girls who do not have the talent for elemental magic will learn the basics under the arrangement of their families and elders, and become Ariel the farmer, Ariel the fisherman, Ariel the warrior, or Ariel the lumberjack, until they reach adulthood, marry and have children in this rich land with some kind of profession, and live for the rest of their lives.
Teenagers who practice elemental magic in the tower can go to the central tower [Vidaryan] to take the magic exam under the recommendation of the teacher, the exam is divided into two types, one is the basic exam from [Ishtari Apprentice] to [Ishtari Elemental Mage], you only need to have a basic control of elemental magic and the axiom of the beginning of the Yuan to pass,
The other is to advance from the Ishtari elemental mage to the ruling class [Yunthal], which is also the only way for Ishtari to cross the class in the closed jungle country.
If you want to become Yunthal, you must have a deep understanding of the axioms of the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty and elemental magic, and become the grandmaster of a certain elemental magic system.
After passing a similar process of political review, the trialist will transcend himself in the chaotic axiom normal with the help of the weaver [Vidalyan] in the central tower pedestal, and construct the most stable elemental magic of a certain line, and the weaving robe of Yuntar woven by Vidarian will become the symbol and pride of Yuenthal's life.
Yawen Library
Each of them was a brilliant philosopher and speculator, as well as a master of some kind of elemental magic.
As a village elder, Yuntal will also be decentralized, or he can continue to study the path of elemental magic, and become the Archmage of Ishtari who has mastered many elemental paths and is respected by everyone.
The more you know about the country of Ishtar, the more Lyst has a deep understanding of the words "closed and closed", in today's rune magic is popular, Ishtar actually has no understanding of rune magic, every day just behind closed doors, in the way of elemental magic that has almost reached the limit of hard exploration, just like the difference between a master's degree and a doctorate, elemental magic has not made new progress for a long time.
However, on the whole, the resources of Ishtar are enough to supply hundreds of thousands of people in Ishtar, and the happiness index of the people is okay, as long as there is no external pressure, it is difficult to break the balance of Ishtar.
In fact, it is true, the continent of Shurima has been ravaged several times by the Void, the Dark Descent and the Rune War, countless wives have been separated, families have been destroyed, and after the disaster, warlords and bandits are raging, all the Shurima people are living in turmoil and chaos, and they are worried all day long, but it is the closed country that Ishtar can have such a harmonious and happy living environment, I have to say that it is a wise decision to close the country in the dangerous land of rune.
This also made Lyster understand that at all times, he had to learn to adapt to local conditions, and forcibly bringing advanced ideas of the future into this chaotic continent would only make everything worse.
It would be a little foolish to expect a bunch of mortals with scythes and hammers to follow in their hands, and to destroy the stars with their hands to tell some great red truths with their fists.
In this world, only the transcendent can suppress the extraordinary.
Coming to the north gate entrance of Esseokan, Lyster followed Doyin and Babbitt into the city smoothly, and after staying for one night, the next day he entered the tower of Ishooken through the normal way of entering the city.
A giant stone gate controlled by the power of the elements floated in the air, making way for the trio, and the inner city tower was divided into several areas according to different heights, and the more noble Yuntal was, the closer it was to the central tower.
After spending the night in a spa inn that resembles the gardens of an ancient Roman nobility, Lyster changed into an Ishtar elemental apprentice robe.
With Empress Savannah's will, Lyster traveled all the way, following Doyin and Babbitt directly into the palace of Ishokan under the central tower.
After appeasing Roy, the palace guards took away Aatrox and Roy's baggage, and Lyist stepped on the long red carpet and came to the empress.
Doyiner and Babbitt took the lead in kneeling on the ground to pay homage to the empress, but Lyster stood in place like a strong pine, neither humble nor arrogant, and made a Noxus two-handed aristocratic salute to the beautiful woman on the throne with a solemn face, and did not mean to kneel down at all, which made Doyiner and Babbitt's faces change, while glancing at Lyster and signaling to kneel down and salute quickly, while hurriedly looking at the empress, for fear that the empress would be angry and angry that she had not taught Lyster the necessary etiquette.
"Why don't you kneel when you see this king?"
The empress's majestic voice echoed through the palace, and the guards instinctively slowed their breathing.
"Your Majesty, there is no etiquette of kneeling in our country except for slaves, please forgive my offense."
"This is Ishtar."
"In Noxus, there are only warriors who have died in battle, there are no kneeling cowards, and I have come to Ishtar for the purpose of magical communication, and I hope the Empress will understand this."
Lyist raised her head, her deep gaze met the coercion deliberately exerted by the empress, Savannah instinctively used the royal family's man-watching technique to see the details of the man, but the moment it opened, Savannah seemed to have come to a battlefield full of corpses, and the once prosperous Ishokon became a dead place,
Under the bloody sun, the throne of the corpses of thousands of dead souls stood on the ruins, and the man like an emperor sat on it covered in blood, his eyes were indifferent, and he regarded all living beings as dogs.
As if noticing himself in the mountain of corpses in the sea of blood, the gaze of the man on the throne began to shift, and the indescribable majesty and deadly pressure made Savannah tremble, and the woman seemed to have returned to the time when she was a child, and her father, who controlled the entire country, also looked at the death row criminals in the cell with this kind of eyes when he was patrolling the dungeon,
This is the look of the superior, the calmness and arrogance of the transcendent who holds the power of life and death.
And the man on the throne of corpses is countless times more terrifying than the feeling that his father brought to him.
Her heart began to beat violently, her chest tightened, her eyes flickered, and a sudden feeling of suffocation made it impossible for Savannah to continue standing and looking directly at the man on the throne, and the noble empress turned into a little lamb, and could only kneel on the ground and put her head on the ground in obedience, prostrate herself, as if this was the only way to continue her humble life.
Withdrawn from the art of human observation in humiliation and unease, Savannah's vision suddenly disappeared and she returned to the real world.
The suffocation receded, and the Empress's stagnant mind began to work again.
The vision that the man brought to herself just now is still vivid, Savannah only felt that her thighs suddenly became warm, and her dry body began to become moist, the empress pressed her legs, unnaturally avoiding the man's indifferent gaze, took a small sip of the juice from the maid's plate to relieve the tension and pressure, and the beautiful empress who raised the swan's neck softened her tone by three points.
"Since you are an honored guest of Noxus, Lyist, I will allow you not to kneel."
Babbitt and Doyin, who were kneeling on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief, they did not expect that today's empress would be so magnanimous and willing to forgive Lyster's disrespectful sin.
"Then thank you, Your Majesty."
I don't know why, Savannah always feels that the man is looking at the hem of her skirt, as if she has seen her ugliness through the skirt, coupled with the terrible vision she saw just now, which makes Savannah, who is shy and embarrassed, lose her previous calmness and majesty, and she doesn't even dare to look at each other's eyes, how can she continue to talk,
In the feeling of sitting on pins and needles, Savannah finally had the heart to escape.
"Since you are an honored guest, you can rest well today, and then enter the hall tomorrow to talk about it."
After saying that, Savannah left the throne with the waitress on her own, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Lyster smiled.
"Your Majesty, please walk slowly, don't accidentally step on something and slip over."
Staggering, Savannah quickened her pace without looking back, and left the main hall.
