Chapter 378 [0375] King and Rook Castling

Kalya's plan is very interesting.

Through Vayne, who has the demon seed, to find the demons hidden in Fosbyro, and then find a way to enter the shadow world, this plan is undoubtedly feasible to a certain extent - release Vayne, fish for demons, and find shadows, the possibility of success is very high.

But the more troublesome part of this plan is that Lux and Ino must hide Vayne and Frey as bait.

They need a reason to follow Vayne and Frey to Fosbyro.

So, after thinking about it, Kalya simply let Ino play to the advantages of his ice bloodline.

As long as Ino can disguise herself as a war mother who is dissatisfied with the Frost Guard tribe, then Frey can be recruited openly, and there will be no problem following her all the way to Fosbyro!

As for the method of recruitment...

Although the method of using Vayne as a hostage seems a bit bad, for Frey, the threat of "you don't want Vayne's safety to be in trouble", it should still be very effective.

Kalja was really wicked to come up with such a plan in a short time. Lux even had to play the role of a subordinate to disguise herself better. But it is undeniable that this plan seems to have no problem. No one could have imagined that Inno, who used Vayne as a hostage to force Frey to work for him, actually targeted Vayne.

The only possible problem with the whole plan is how Inno can play the role of "the war mother who refuses to obey the Frostguard tribe".

Kalja, Lux and Inno don't know the war mother.

At most, they have heard a little about the description of the war mother and read a little about the war mother. In the long history of civilization in Runeland, Freljord has always been in a relatively remote corner.

It is not an easy task to make Inno look like a war mother who left Freljord and came to Demacia with some intentions.

Fortunately, Ino has been the secretary general for three years and is used to being in a high position. If he can maintain a high profile, it should be no problem to deceive Frey in a short time. Therefore, after Kalya and her simply exchanged some lines, a magical realism drama of king-rook castling was finally officially staged.

(Freljord, Demacia, Noxus and other languages ​​of Valoran are almost the same language. Ino was born in the North, so his accent is different from that of the Freljord people, but it is also roughly the same.)

Lux, holding Charikar, plays a recruited guard.

Ino, holding the Broken Blade, plays a war mother who comes to Demacia for some purpose, and uses Vayne as a threat to recruit Frey.

The two cooperated to deceive Frey and Vayne, and followed them to find the entrance to the demon and the Shadow Realm.

Moreover, even if they failed to find the entrance to the Shadow Realm through them, there would be no loss, right?

With Kalya playing the role of matchmaker, Lux and Ino's king-rook castling went quite smoothly.

Although it might not be sincere, at least for the sake of their lives, Frey was willing to obey Ino's orders honestly.

In this way, Lux and Ino successfully joined the caravan.

Amid the sound of the driver's whip waving through the air and the shouting of the driven animals, this large-scale team set out again and officially set off to the north.

……………………

In the caravan, Ino maintained his aloof personality and played the role of the owner.

Lux flexibly and maneuverably played his social advantages and quickly became familiar with the caravan owner. During the chat, he got a lot of information about Fosbyro from him.

The more Lux knew about Fosbyro, the brighter his eyes became.

Fosbyro is located in the northwest of Demacia. It is an important town in the northwest of Demacia and the poorest place in the whole of Demacia.

Why is Fosbyro poor?

This is mainly due to its special geographical environment - here, the Northland Mountains bend southward and form a branch parallel to the coast of the Sea of ​​Conquest.

This branch is very important to the entire Demacia. It not only blocks the cold air flow from the Frost Harbor, but also serves as an important outpost for Demacia to guard against the Freljord barbarians.

But for Fosbyro itself, this is not a good thing, because Fosbyro is not on the hillside, but on a "gap" of this branch, and is a pass-like city.

Facing the cold wind from the Frost Harbor, there are always barbarians coming to plunder in winter, the lack of water resources makes transportation difficult, and a large number of people need to serve the military, so production cannot be expanded.

A combination of many bad factors has led to the development of this key city in the northwest of the kingdom, which is quite bad.

Especially the lack of water resources, so that many cities in the interior of the Kingdom of Demacia can hardly help much even if they want to help - Demacia's products are quite rich, but if they can't be transported to Fosbyro, no matter how rich they are, it will not make much sense!

As a northern city, although Mithril City also bears considerable military responsibilities and has a terribly cold winter climate, if supplies are transported from the grain-producing areas of Demacia to Mithril City, more than three-quarters of the journey can be solved by inland shipping, and the transportation cost consumed is very small.

But to Fosbyro... a quarter of the journey is considered a lot by boat!

And even if it is a quarter, the waterway is segmented. It is better to walk directly than toss back and forth.

Supplies from other places cannot be transported into Forsbarrow, and it is not easy to transport Forsbarrow's specialties. In this case, even the nobles who were awarded the title of Forsbarrow became poorer generation after generation. In the end, among the nobles, There is no trace of this person in the circle, and there is no trace of this person.

The main form of local governance in Demacia is the fiefdom system.

Although the king and the noble masters often do not deal with each other, it is an internal problem of the ruler after all - if the noble master is really gone, Demacia really has no means to control the grassroots!

The nobles of Fosbairo were so poor that they left the circle of nobles. This also caused the Kingdom of Demacia to lose its substantial right to rule over Fosbairo. According to the caravan owner, Fosbairo There are garrisons and police officers within the city limits of Barrow City, and there are simply no nobles in charge of the nearby areas - everyone can only recommend a few highly respected people to handle conflicts on a daily basis.

"So, I am under a lot of pressure from traveling back and forth!" When this northwest man said this, his tone seemed to be a little emotional, "Many people depend on us for a living! And this year's business is not good either. , I heard that many people suffer from the strange disease of lethargy... The holy water of the Illuminati is so expensive, but it is the only one that has the effect. It is really unlucky. "

"A strange disease of sleepiness?" Lux put on a scared look, "It's not contagious, right?"

"It's not contagious, it's not contagious." The boss waved his hand after hearing this, "I heard that this strange disease was caused by the barbarian witches in the Freljord. Those barbarians in the north are really careless. !”

"As long as it's not contagious." Lux seemed to let out a sigh of relief, "I'm going to deliver something to someone right now. It would be troublesome if I contracted a strange disease!"

She looked relieved at last, but Lux remembered this strange disease - lethargy, which could be treated with holy water. Why did this strange disease look a bit like an elemental infection?

Kalja’s Little Class·Fosbairo’s Water Transport:

It is not that there are no rivers near Forsbarrow.

In fact, due to the melted water from the snowy mountains of the Northern Mountains, the entire northern part of Demacia is very rich in water resources.

But the problem is that the terrain near Fosbello is too poor, the water flow is scattered, and waterfalls and shoals are everywhere. There is a lot of water here, but it cannot be called a water resource at all.

PS. I'm in poor condition today, a bit short, I'm very sorry!
