Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Lux and Ino spent three days repairing in Kalamanda.

(Lux objected vehemently to Kalya's ridicule and forbade him from revealing that he was seasick.)

In addition to recuperating on the spot and completely resolving the seasickness, Kalya also took advantage of this time to formulate the next action plan in detail with Lux.

After repairs, they will next leave Kalamanda for Piltover.

After arriving in Piltover, they would liquidate some of the supplies, then take the principal with them into the lower city of Piltover, and finally reach Zaun.

And Zu'an is the final destination of their trip.

"Why Zaun?" When he heard that he was going to Zaun, Ino asked with some doubts, "I heard from the sailors on the ship that Zaun was a place that was rotten... Stay in Karaman Da Ye is okay, there are many farmlands in the northern suburbs of Kalamanda, even if it is to learn magic, we can stay here and build a farm of our own!"

"To be honest, if possible, I would also like to stay in Kalamanda." Kalya sighed, "However, for Lux, if she wants to stage a Return of the King within six years, she must stay in Kalamanda. It’s totally too late to start farming in Manda.”

"I understand that you can't stay in Kalamanda, but why Zaun?" Speaking of this, Lux was also curious, "I remember you said that Piltover and Zaun are very special places. The birth and rise were mainly due to the trade between Valoran and Shurima..."

"It is precisely for this reason that Zaun and Piltover are the easiest places to pry in the entire Rune Land." Kalya affirmed, "Many people don't know that Zaun was once called Vazuan, a city in Shurima. It’s an important port city—I have a lot of good things left there!”

"Oh? Good stuff?" Hearing what Kalya said, Lux suddenly became energetic, "What is it?"

"It's just some insignificant seeds." Kalya said in a calm tone, "The main reason is that too much time has passed and I'm not sure what else is left there. The main reason why I won't tell you is In case the greater your expectations, the greater your disappointment."

"What's so disappointing about this?" Lux frowned, "I've already discovered it, Kalya - you seem to be hiding something from me!"

"It's not that I'm hiding it, I'm actually not sure myself." Kalya said helplessly, "I've been sleeping for too long, although I woke up a few times during this period and worked hard to understand a little bit about Runeterra. The situation - but time is ruthless, I can't confirm that Zu'an is what I think it is, so if you insist on asking me to explain everything clearly, I can only say 'take it one step at a time'."

"So, going to Zaun is your first step?" Hearing what Kalya said, Lux finally nodded, "Then, if Zaun is what you think, what should each of our steps look like? of?"

"The first thing is observation." Kalya considered the words, "Understand the current Zaun, and also inquire about some of my old friends."

"It's understandable - but, Kalya, can we still have your good friends in Zaun now?" Lux nodded, and then said with some surprise, "Is it also that...dark descendant?"

"It's not the dark descendants." Kalya denied Lux's guess, and then warned in a serious tone, "Moreover, don't say the dark descendants' names so easily, and don't get close to the dark descendants. Although they once fought alongside me, Fight, but I can't guarantee whether they are still rational now - in fact, I don't want to stay in Kalamanda, and a large part of the reason is that I don't want you to have anything to do with the dark descendants at this time."

"That's it..." Lux nodded, indicating that she understood, "What about after understanding Zuan?"

"If the situation in Zaun is really similar to what I think, then the next thing to do will be very simple!" Kalya said in a calm tone, "Build a political power from scratch, and use You will gain real power through your own hard work rather than your bloodline, and prepare for your return to Demacia and the transformation of Demacia..."

"Wait, what are you talking about???" Lux was stunned and immediately interrupted Kalya, "You said you want to establish a political power in such a relaxed tone? Are you trying to overthrow Zaun? "

"Am I like the kind of bad guy who engages in sedition?" Kalya denied Lux's accusation in a contrived and very sad tone. "If you don't count the gangs, Zaun doesn't even have a political power. It's completely a state. A barbaric land in the civilized world—if there is no political power, how can we subvert it?”

"...Really or not?" Lux became even more confused, "How can a commercial city not have political power?"

"Of course it is true." Kalya said firmly, "And you will build a city-state from scratch on that ruins, and through competition and cooperation with Piltover, you will understand the meaning of diplomacy. Significance……"

"And diplomacy?" Lux was already a little dumbfounded. "Wait, Kalya, this is different from what I imagined! This shouldn't be what I want to do, right? I just want to find a solution to Demacia. With the current situation, why should we establish a city-state in Zaun?!"

"Many of Demacia's problems are brought out of the bones." Karya said earnestly, "If you want to make a change, what you need is an earth-shaking, and Zaun will be a platform for you to experience."

"It sounds like you regard Zaun as my training ground?" Lux blinked, "If I fail, then wouldn't Zaun..."

"So you have to do your best and never fail." Kalya chuckled, "As long as you succeed, you can not only lead the Zaun people out of the quagmire, but also prepare for the future changes in Demacia. Isn't that right? Kill two birds with one stone?"

"...Karya, you really think highly of me!" Lux couldn't help but rub her eyebrows after hearing this, "But you know I hate politics the most!"

"What I'm talking about is not politics." Kalya sighed, "This is fighting for ideals."

"Don't use words to quibble here." Lux also became serious, "To be honest, have you been thinking about this since you met me?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Kalya was stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly, "The truth is... yes."

"You finally admitted it, villain!" Lux gritted her teeth, "I knew you had no good intentions from the beginning!"

"Then are you willing?" Kalya did not deny Lux's accusation this time, "Go to Zaun, abandon your identity as a noble lady, start everything from scratch, and transform that shabby place into something you The way you want it to be.”

"Go! Why don't you go!" Lux raised her face proudly after hearing this, "After all, I am your best student!"

"Obviously this is the worst class I have ever taught——"

"Now there's Ino!"

"Ino, Lux said you are not as good as her."

"Miss Lux is right!"

"You should say it's wrong at this time!"

"Miss Lux was right all along!"

"Lux, look at Ino! What have you brought her to?"

"..."

"..."

In the end, Kalja's Zaun strategy was unanimously approved by the three-person team.

On the fourth day after arriving in Kalamanda, Lux and Ino bought two tickets and boarded the passenger ship to Piltover.

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Karya’s Sleeping Days:

Kalya has been sleeping for a long time, so most of his understanding of the power of runes comes from his observations and rough speculations based on these observations. Taking into account the butterfly effect, Kalya's world can already be regarded as a parallel universe.

Therefore, although Kalja has prepared a complete Zaun strategy early, reality is likely to give him an interesting surprise - it needs to be noted that Kalja does not know about the Battle of Two Cities.
