Chapter 469 [0464] A Calm Lake Emerges From a High Gorge
The archers who had just started to learn magic theory quickly applied what they learned to practice and applied it to the excavation of the next artificial lake.
This was the first time for everyone to systematically learn magic, and they all had a strong desire to "magic is a talent", so they naturally accepted the idea of "changing the world with magic".
Among the many archers, only Frey was full of doubts.
Frey, who came here as a transfer student and was born in Freljord, didn't understand why so many powerful mages would dig the ground, plant trees and build dams here?
In Frey's opinion, these Demacia mages can already be compared with the Frost Guard Priests of the Frost Witch. Each of them is extremely talented, and casting spells is as easy as eating and drinking water with just a little guidance.
Shouldn't such a powerful spellcaster conquer everything?
Dig a reservoir?
Dig a fart!
With such an elite mage, Lux also knows how to give lectures...
This is clearly the next Lissandra!
Although Frey hated Lissandra for destroying her tribe, according to the Freljord people's concept, this did not prevent her from recognizing Lissandra as an extremely powerful spellcaster and a leader worthy of following.
So, in Frey's opinion, Lux could completely follow Lissandra's path and control everything with powerful magic, instead of leading these talented mages to dig a hole here!
According to our Freljord people, your weak behavior should be buried in the hole after digging a hole!
At first, Frey was just dissatisfied, but she still wanted to see Vayne, so she held back her dissatisfaction, thinking that you can embarrass yourself as much as you want, I will learn my magic and then just leave.
Anyway, I have kept the statue for you for so long in Fosbyro.
But unfortunately, Frey obviously overestimated her patience.
After personally going out of the exit of the Shadow Realm and finding that it seemed difficult for her to enter directly, she accepted Lux's advice and began to study magic theory.
After a brief inquiry about her expertise, Frey was assigned to Group 21.
The members of this group are diverse, including several Vastaya people and people with Vastaya blood or Old God beliefs, who have the ability to change their forms.
After being assigned to this group, even though Frey repeatedly told herself not to meddle in other people's business, she finally couldn't help it when she saw these good shamans being inexplicably turned to strange paths.
Of course, she didn't foolishly persuade Lux or Ino, but used a very tactful way in her opinion to persuade the other members of Group 21, hoping that they could face up to their own strength.
It's interesting to say that even in such a large project, there are some groups whose abilities are not very useful - this is the case with Group 21.
Whether it is Vastaya people, Vastaya hybrids, or descendants of Old God priests, their special magic only works on themselves.
Vastaya spells are one of the few magic blind spots for Karya. Karya can only teach them the most basic theories, but Karya really doesn't understand the deeper rituals about calling all spirits.
As for the descendants of the old god priests, although Ino has captured some of the power of the Lund python, Karya really has no time to study them now. Lux and Ino are at most 997, while Karya is completely 007. He can only rest on the sand in his own little world occasionally, and has no time to take care of the python blood sent by Ino.
In this case, the situation of Group 21 is undoubtedly very embarrassing.
Classes are still held, but they are all basic intensive training, without advanced training; as for work, they are arranged in the logistics support link, usually in the camp to provide logistics support for other logistics teams.
Although the cooking skills of several Vastaya hybrids in Group 21 are good and have been unanimously praised by all the law guards, compared with other groups who are sweating on the construction site, their work is really embarrassing.
In this case, Frey chose to talk with her teammates in addition to studying, and hoped to pass on the skills she had honed on the edge of life and death to them.
As the saying goes, "a sharp blade brings a murderous heart." In Frey's opinion, these people obviously lack understanding of their own power. As long as the Archons know how powerful they are, they will no longer be satisfied with digging holes.
At that time, she can take these "reformed" Archons to have a good talk with Miss Lux - you can't get anything done by working like a furnace owner. You have to stand up and let others know how powerful you are!
Others hoard food and you hoard guns. Others are your granaries. How can you be so miserable to build a reservoir by yourself? Are you sick?
Although Frey's actions did not meet Lux's expectations at all, she did not have any bad intentions. Using powerful power to conquer all disobedience is the "right way" in the cognition of the Freljord people. She hopes to let Lux walk on the right path.
However, the development of the matter soon exceeded Frey's expectations.
At the beginning, when Frey said that she could teach everyone some new tricks, the 21 members of the group, who were almost bored, came over immediately.
Internal learning within the group is not something that is not allowed. As long as it can be guaranteed to be safe, everyone should learn from each other!
However, when Frey began to speak, the Archons present soon found something wrong.
Good man, what the hell are you talking about?
How to master the power after changing shape and win with one blow like a beast?
How to resonate with the power of the old gods and maintain sanity in the violent power?
How to use the wild environment to weaken the enemy and strengthen yourself at the same time?
Are you teaching us to kill and destroy? !
The Archons of Group 21 immediately found the problem - this transfer student is obviously not a good person and has bad intentions!
As mentioned earlier, the prisoners of the Forbidden Magic Prison who followed Lux all the way north to Fosbyro, except for some members who are serving sentences for real crimes, are mostly stranded people who "cannot control their own power, the magic potion is ineffective for them, and they are unwilling to leave Demacia."
These people do have resentment and dissatisfaction with Demacia, but they also have identification and love.
Now that we have finally arrived in the North, Lord Laxana has found a way to turn the infected into a talent, and everyone has a new identity, who would still like to be regarded as a source of danger like in the past?
Learn to kill?
Learn to destroy?
Do we still need to learn these things?
You are clearly luring us into darkness!
Frey, who is not a Demacia, only knows that Demacia rejects magic and the infected, but she cannot really understand the difficulties and pain of these infected.
The Freljord-style strong is respected, which is completely evil in the eyes of the Demacians!
So, Frey, who "kindly gave these spellcasters a little blood", received a collective report in her second lesson.
That's right, report, collective report, and the kind of spontaneous arrest.
After some discussion, the other members of Group 21 called the members of Group 20 and Group 22, a total of 31 people, to act together and directly arrested the defenseless Frey.
At the same time, the leader of Group 21, Vastaya half-blood Azen, went straight to his "fellow countryman" Sona.
……………………
Sona, who knew that a spy had been caught, naturally did not dare to delay. She sent someone to inform Lux and Ino, and hurried to the camp where the incident occurred. Then, she was stunned to find that a majestic giant wolf was suppressed by the members of Groups 20, 21, and 22.
Didn't they say that a spy was caught?
Why is there a wolf here?
Teacher Kalya clearly said that with Iva here, wild beasts would not spy on the camp?
Then, just when Sona was puzzled, Lux, who happened to be back to the camp to prepare for class, also hurried over.
"What's going on?"
Fortunately, the matter was not complicated, and soon someone stood up to explain the cause and effect of the whole matter-facing their "teacher", although the members of the three groups were a little cramped, they had nothing to hide.
Even because they "discovered a spy", when they described the whole process, they were still somewhat trying to take credit.
At this time, Lux also found that Frey from Group 21 was missing, and then she heard that the wolf in front of her was Frey...
Although she had asked Frey what spells she was good at before, to be honest, Lux really didn't care too much about this Freljord shapeshifter.
For them, Frey was just a pitiful "old man who lost his only child" because of Vayne. Letting her join Group 21 was really just to let her learn magic theory and visit the Shadow Realm if possible in the future.
If Frey could appease Vayne's emotions in the Shadow Realm, it would be even better.
However, what she didn't expect was that Frey was trying to teach students to use combat spells?
Learning to fight with magic is not something that needs to be avoided - Lux and Ino are good at fighting with magic, even the seemingly weak Sona, the result of using magic to fight can only be described as bloody.
However, at least for now, the Archers should not learn to fight.
Their magic theories are not solid enough, they have not formed a system, and their understanding of magic is not deep enough.
Unlike Lux and Ino, who are almost one-on-one tutors from Kalya, the Archers who take big and small classes do not learn so fast, and no one wants to teach them personally 24 hours a day.
It is precisely because of this consideration that when arranging the "syllabus", Kalya determined that these Archers must "get used to using magic to transform the world first, and then use magic to protect the fruits of their labor" in the learning process.
In terms of magic, these Archers are absolutely "minors", and it is not time for them to get involved in fighting yet!
Therefore, Lux is very dissatisfied with Frey's meddling.
What makes her even more dissatisfied is what Frey said after she turned back into human form.
In order to clear up the misunderstanding, Frey stated her thoughts very frankly-but her "good intentions" obviously will not be recognized, but will make Lux frown.
Use magic to conquer, use magic to rule?
This is not the right way of magic!
If it is really just for conquest and rule, Lux can be a real, high and mighty noble lord. In Demacia, the identity of a noble is a more useful means of rule than any magic, and the blood of the Crown Guard family is a reasonable and legitimate reason for rule!
But that is not what Lux wants, nor what Demacia needs!
"Magic is indeed a powerful force." After listening to Frey's statement, Lux couldn't help but pursed her lips, "But, Ms. Frey, magic is not only a powerful force!"
"I have never heard that there is some kind of noble magic in Demacia."
Frey is obviously mistaken - the so-called "noble magic" refers to the "spell caste" in the Freljord where using the spells brought by the ice blood is more noble than using the power given by the old gods. Although most of the time the comparison of different spells still falls on the point of "who is more powerful", it is undeniable that the frost magic of the Frostguard priests is more popular than the shape-changing spell of the believers of the old gods.
Frost magic originating from the ice bloodline often represents the will of the witch in Freljord, and this is what Frey understands as "magic is not just a powerful force."
"It's not noble magic, but magic should not be used to rule and exploit." Lux narrowed her eyes, organized her words, and raised her head high, "It should not be used to launch wars, lead Come disaster!"
Frey grinned, feeling that Lux might have some serious illness.
Magic is so useful in battle, why don't you use it?
"In the Rune Wars, the heavy pain caused by magic made Demacia overly cautious about magic." Lux looked away from Frey and looked at the thoughtful people around her. Magicians, "I have told you about this period of history. The origin of Demacia's anti-magic policy originated from this. It originated from the pain that unbridled magic brought to our ancestors - those ancestors who fought against all odds. ”
Wherever they looked, the legal guardians nodded.
They had already heard this history from Lux.
"But in this world, magic can not only be used for destruction, but also for construction, and this is what we are doing now." Lux continued, "When we established the camp, I made it clear to everyone, This winter, we will build an artificial lake and a reservoir, a reservoir large enough to carry the melted water from the snow mountains, and completely change the water conservancy environment of Forsbarrow! "
The guardians continued to nod. This part of the content had already been said when the temporary camp was just established.
"Dig a reservoir?" This was the first time Frey heard the specific goal of this project. Her eyes widened in astonishment, her tone full of disbelief, "This is impossible, digging lakes can only be done by gods. The thing is that only gods like Volibear and Ornn can accomplish the great feat of tearing apart the Five Forks Fjord and digging the Howling Abyss!”
"In Runeterra, there is no law that stipulates that only gods can accomplish amazing feats." Faced with Frey's exclamation, Lux's tone was extremely calm, "Compared to lying on the ground and praying to God as a priest, I pray to the gods and ask for the attention of the gods to realize my wishes. I prefer to achieve everything with my hands... There has never been a savior. "
Kalya’s Little Classroom·Shapechanger:
This is a collective name for a class of spellcasters who can change their own form.
Some shapechangers are because of their blood, some are because they have learned the shape-changing spell, and some are because they have received the favor of the old gods. They can change their form and turn themselves into some kind of beast, half-beast, or the chosen one of the old gods. This provides powerful combat effectiveness.
