Chapter 251 Chapter 250·The Temple of Belvis

Kassadin, who was originally worried, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his hometown was still as peaceful and complete as when he left.

Walking down the hillside, he looked back at Yuan Chen and others. After confirming that Yuan Chen had not been here before, Kassadin also said: "Do you need me to explain?"

"That couldn't be better."

Yuan Chen nodded.Although I learned more about Belvis before setting off, considering the changes in the world line, it is better to stop and take a look at what Kassadin knows about Belvis.

Seeing this, Olan on the side also nodded excitedly:

"I didn't expect that there could be such a large city on the continent of Shurima... What is that? There seems to be a port?"

"Yes."

Hearing Oran's voice, Kassadin nodded and said:

"The continent of Shurima is divided into the northern route and the southern route. The northern route is more popular because you can purchase supplies from Valoran along the way. The southern route is relatively scarce in supplies, but its advantage is that it will not be subject to any censorship. The only The problem we have to face is the pirate archipelago Bilgewater that occupies the other end of the route."

"It is precisely because of this that those who can take the southern route are all big ship owners and big merchants. Behind them, there are often noble backgrounds from powerful kingdoms. We can often see large quantities of standard weapons on those ships... "

As he said that, Kassadin glanced at Oran, paused and said, "It even includes Demacia's refined armor..."

After hearing Kassadin's words, Oran nodded calmly.

Although Demacia is small in area, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is surrounded by mountains on two sides and the sea on one side, and the side surrounding the sea is daunting cliffs, making it impossible to land on the beach.The mountains on both sides separated into several mountains to seal the gates of Demacia.

Even if you have thousands of troops, if you want to cross the single-plank bridge, you can only walk one by one.This kind of terrain means that Demacia does not need to prepare a large number of soldiers at all times to prepare for war like the plain kingdom. It only needs to send a team of elite soldiers to station in the pass or canyon to resist the advancement of the entire legion.

This is also an important reason why Demacia is willing to cultivate elites.

Scholars in Piltover once calculated that the training materials and equipment losses consumed by training an ordinary Demacia soldier in one year are at least the annual resources of five Noxian soldiers.And these are ordinary soldiers. Elite units like the Fearless Vanguard, where one is worth ten, often number more than twenty or thirty.

A good horse comes with a good saddle, and the mountains on both sides are rich in an ore called "Demacia Hard Steel."Even if it is just a rough forging, it can still have extremely objective hardness and toughness.In comparison, although Noxus has a vast territory and rich resources, soldiers often need to maintain their weapons by themselves.

Thinking about it, Olan also had a proud look on his face.

"Haha! I guess they tried their best to steal it! But no wonder they are so greedy. After all, in the last border conflict, the weapons produced in Demacia easily cut off countless Noxian soldiers! "

"Yes, Demacia's weapons have always been a bestseller." Seeing that Oran didn't care much, Kassadin also shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "If a Demacia steel sword is delivered, The price of Shurima can often be increased by at least three times. If it is mixed with the powder of the legendary Forbidden Demon Stone, it is conservatively estimated to be more than ten times the price."

"After all, no one would play with their own lives."

During the conversation, Oran also seemed to ask intentionally or unintentionally: "Speaking of which, is there a place that sells information in Belvis? I want to see if there are any other interesting places outside."

"Just find a bar at the port." Kassadin said nonchalantly: "When the sailors on the shore are drinking, they can't wait to brag about what they saw, heard, and encountered on the sea."

Hearing this, Oran nodded and then said nothing.

After following Kassadin all the way to the city of Belvis, and walking in this trading city composed of a large number of tents and rock houses, Yuan Chen also asked:
"Do you live in this city?"

"Well, I just moved in last year."

Perhaps because he was sure that Belvis or his wife and daughter were not harmed, Kassadin also relaxed a lot and became extremely talkative:

"Mainly Keisha, she wants to play with her friends in the city...Although the cost of living in the city is slightly higher, there are also many opportunities, and she can also receive teachings from the Sun Temple,"

After speaking, Kassadin paused and said with a smile: "Compared to the dangerous job of being a guide, being a priest is much safer and more dignified."

Although the Shurima Empire has been destroyed for a long time, the Sun Priesthood, which represents Shurima religion, has not died.On the contrary, because the Shurima Empire was no longer the only force that could unite the entire Shurima, the temples scattered in the major cities on the Shurima continent became the pillars that maintained the stability of the country in the early days after the great collapse of Shurima. anchor point.

These priests from the Sun Temple preached the nobility of the golden blood and the invincibility of the ascended ones. They once awakened the hope and judgment in people's hearts and revived Shurima, which was on the verge of collapse.

But alas, this excitement did not last long.Because what followed was the collective fall of the dark descendants...Compared to the hearts of the people, the ascended ones did not believe that the mortal priests who had lost the leadership of the golden bloodline were qualified to order them.

It was also during this period that a large number of Sun Temples were destroyed by the Darkin.In today's Shurima continent, there are only a handful of remaining sun temples, and among them there are many fakes rebuilt by careerists and charlatans... If Yuan Chen remembers correctly, the city of Belvis should be a small number. Some avoided the Darkin War and thus completely preserved the city-states inherited from the Sun Temple.

"Do you want to visit?"

As an old guide, Kassadin's ability to observe words and emotions was extremely high, and he immediately came up with Yuan Chen's idea.

In this regard, Yuan Chen glanced at Kassadin, then shook his head and said: "Now that we have arrived in Belvis, the Temple of the Sun is there, and you can go there at any time, don't be in a hurry. Compared to this, you It’s better to go home first and see if your family is safe.”

Hearing this, Kassadin also had a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and then said: "Then are you willing to go with me? I would like to introduce my wife, daughter and family to you."
