From the description of the tunnel foreman, Jeno roughly reconstructed the experience of the attack. Flash Dance

One day, the miner Schubert and the rest of the group, as usual, took advantage of the foreman's absence to sit down and fish and be lazy.

The miners were Picheng, Zuan, and Shurima who were born near Acacia, and they came from different regions, but their unanimous "enemy" was the vitriolic foreman.

Because the foreman was a gold surveyor and Mrs. Piltward, they all secretly scolded the foreman as a gold wipe.

After more than a month of mining, I didn't meet the locals, including the foreman, and everyone thought that the mine was ownerless, until that day, a woman suddenly ran into the mine.

The woman was very short, but she wore many magnificent gold ornaments adorned with precious stones, and the cutting of the stones was perfect in her life.

It is no exaggeration to say that taking a random gem from her is enough for Schubert to enjoy luxury in Phi City for a lifetime.

In addition, the dwarf woman carried a hula-hoop-like iron object that appeared to be some kind of weapon. It's just that these miners think that this weapon may not be as powerful as the pneumatic pickaxe in their hands.

The foreman was not there, and Schubert went up to talk to him, who knew that this woman was not good.

She shouted, using a magic that Schubert couldn't understand, causing the mine to collapse in an instant, burying all the miners.

Except for Schubert, who walked in front of her, no one was spared.

She left her name, calling herself Empress Kiana, and said it was just a warning. If Piltover dares to invade their territory again, he will do so at his own peril.

After listening to the foreman's retelling, Jeno reached out and touched the rock wall, and found that the rock had indeed been magically altered in structure.

"Has anyone seen her after that?" Jeno asked.

"No, she hasn't appeared again after the cruel words." The foreman shook his head.

Jeno then remembered that this should correspond to the fact that after Chiana returned home, she was imprisoned by the king for disobeying the Gentiles and attacking the foreigners. However, there are many court elemental envoys who defend her, and they should have been released by this time.

"Have you seen any other locals?" Jeno asked again.

"Yes." This time, the foreman nodded exactly: "Ten miles to the south, another team of miners clashed with the locals. There were deaths on both sides, but our side suffered heavy losses, and even the Hex's logging truck was snatched by the other side because of the cutting down of some trees! ”

"When?"

"Probably...... Two days ago! ”

"Okay, I'll go over there." Jeno patted the foreman on the shoulder and left the mine.

The lumberjacks were taken to their village by the Ishtars, but Jeno managed to locate the crystal by using Hex, and managed to find the village hidden in the forest. Flash Dance

But he seems to be late.

Standing on the deck, you can see the magically destroyed logging carts in the village square. It was blocked by ice, slammed by rocks, torn by vines, and finally shattered and collapsed.

Later, an enraged team of miners discovered the village and bulldozed it with a desire for revenge.

The Ishtars were powerless to resist and were half dead and half ran.

These are all things that have already happened, and now there are only dead people in the village.

"Didn't you say that Ishtar was an even older civilization than Shurima? It is the birthplace of the magic of Baju and Fuguang Island, and it is said to be the origin of all things. But...... With such a powerful civilization, how could it not even be defeated by the miners in Picheng? ”

Sarah looked at the abandoned village in disbelief, feeling insulted by her intelligence.

If the Ishtars were so weak, then she thought she could send pirates to ransack the country. Jeno will definitely not lie to her, saying that it is an ancient civilization, and there must be a lot of valuable antiques, right?

"The long period of closed peace has caused the Ishtars to lose their fighting spirit, and the people here are conformist and do not care much about magical prowess. Moreover, despite the fact that Tikoras is just a village, it is administratively divided into counties, and it is garrisoned by Yuenalai. ”

Jeno knew what was going on here, Kiana wasn't here now, but she had been here before.

"What is Yuen Alai?"

"Royals."

"That's it?" Sarah tugged at her hair, looking like she had seen a ghost. What kind of country is Ishtar? The county guarded by members of the royal family can't beat a team of miners in Phi City?

"Where are we going to find this Kiana?" Sindra finally interjected.

"Don't look for it, just wait here, she'll be back." Jeno said noncommittally.

"Are you so sure?"

"When I'm done with what's going on here, you'll know why."

Jeno began to tell a few people about what had happened in the village the day before, and everyone came over to listen patiently. Only Ryze returned to the room, he was not interested in human disputes.

……

A day earlier, when Kiana had heard that the Warden of Tikoras had died in a clash with the miners, she hurried from Ishokon with only one servant to become the new Warden here.

However, the position of county warden has been preempted by her sister Mara.

Not only the royal family, but the primogeniture is the golden rule that Ishtar fully embraces. Now that the elder Mara has become the county guard, Ticolas has nothing to do with Kiana. Even if she has the ability to beat her sister in all directions, she can't ban it.

The arrogant and ambitious Kiana thought of something else.

She left the village, but instead of using magic to cover up the secret passage, she deliberately exposed it so that the angry miners discovered the village hidden in the forest, and the village was attacked.

The next day, Mara escaped and returned to Ishokon to cry, but Kiana only comforted her sister with false affection, and Mara voluntarily gave her the position of lord of the county, which was in her arms.

"Hahahaha......" After Jeno finished speaking, Sarah suddenly laughed wildly.

"What are you laughing at?" Sindra glared at her in annoyance.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't help but laugh when I hear something funny." Sarah gasped and explained, "In exchange for half of the villagers in order to get a bulldozed village? Someone actually did this kind of loss-making business? ”

Shaking his head speechlessly, Jeno ignored her, looked at the sky, lifted the Abyss into the air, and then asked Jana to gather the surrounding clouds to cover the Abyss's tracks.

"Counting the time, the itchy Qiyana will return to the village today to be her county guard. We crouched here, took a look at her, and let her go, and then we could go to Ishokon. ”
