Chapter 289: Let's Face the Stubborn Stone!
Walking through the cave, Jeno stepped into the realm of Zaun.
Now Zuan has changed a little more before he left, and the gray haze has intensified, so thick that it obscures the entire canyon.
In this weather condition, the outline of Oriana's body, who was walking outside Jeno's arm, was already a little blurred, and no one could be seen directly from five meters away.
Although the haze obscured the light coming from the ground, Zaun was not gloomy, and the alchemy street lamps continued to shine day and night without being affected by Zelas. The green glow could hardly penetrate the haze, but thankfully, thanks to these eerie streetlights that dimmed in the fog, Jeno finally knew that he was walking on the road and not in a ditch.
The air was filled with a strong smell of chemicals, and Jeno felt very kind to smell it, but Caitlyn and Xavier couldn't stand the pungent smell and coughed incessantly as soon as they entered Zaun.
Niko, on the other hand, didn't have a strong reaction, and the flowers above her head emitted a faint magical glow in a patch of gray, which was extremely beautiful.
Jeno guesses that it could be Niko secretly photosynthesizing?
What does the glowing leaves represent? It means that Niko does not need sunlight to photosynthesize on its own, and oxygen is produced and sold by itself, if this is the case, the cycle is invincible.
You can even have food money left! If you don't buy cheesecake, it's too easy to feed!
Of course, all of the above are Jeno's conjectures, and you don't have to bear legal responsibility for a few blind guesses, as long as you don't say it.
"I'm sorry everyone, but I didn't think about it and didn't bring a breathing mask." Orianna blamed herself.
As soon as she heard that Jeno might be back, she immediately ran with Taliyah, and as for whether they would get used to the terrible environment where Zuan was badly polluted, she was so excited that she would think so well about it.
"It's okay, let them smell it a few more times and it'll be the same as me." Jeno smiled and said good things for Oriana, he was born in Zu'an, full of environmental resistance, and he was used to the haze.
Only outsiders find it difficult to accept this taste, and after staying for a long time, they will naturally get used to it.
"Sister Oriana, you should come here with an electric blanket." Niko shivered with her arms around her arms and jumped with her tail wrapped around herself, because it was too cold to step on the ground barefoot.
There are many icy puddles on the road, which have been left by the water that poured into Zu'an and then condensed into ice due to the sudden drop in temperature, for several days.
If you go to the sewer, you can see that the green sewage in the entire pipe is frozen.
This has had a great impact on people's lives, and Oriana has to boil the ice first if she wants to drink water these days.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sister, hug you, we'll have a blanket when we go back." Oriana put her coat on Nicola and carried her off the ground.
These are just some small episodes that happened on the road, although the pollution in Zu'an was also very serious before, but the vigorous appearance of the people added infinite vitality to this place; But now, this post-nuclear wasteland-like environment, with the same sense of déjà vu as an underground shelter in the Radiant World, no one will like it.
Despite the poor road conditions and visibility, Taliyah managed to bring Jeno and the others to her abode.
She didn't have much of a way to find her way, and without a reference, Caitlyn couldn't guarantee that she would remember every place she walked; She didn't need to memorize these things, the rock could remember.
As long as she's on the ground, the rocks beneath her feet can show her way, so Taliyah never worries about getting lost.
The group stopped in front of a small stone fort with a domed roof.
The stone is about four meters high, and it appears as a bowl upside down on the ground, but there is no gap between it and the ground, and the stone castle shows that it is covered with rock lines, extending to the ground, sharing the same texture and material with the earth, as if it were made of nature.
It was Taliyah's handiwork, and only the buildings she created with magic would look like they had grown out of the ground, like mushrooms to trees.
"Taliyah, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the shape of your stone castle, do you have any interest in civil engineering?" Jeno couldn't help but complain.
He said that the stone fort was so ugly that the Eskimos' igloos were a hundred times more beautiful, but he couldn't say it explicitly.
"This ......," Taliyah choked and explained in a low voice, "I haven't been able to control my talent with precision, this power is too huge, and I can only make it less manic than an earthquake, so the accuracy has not been improved." And what do you mean by that last sentence? I didn't understand ......"
She was born into a tribe of wandering weavers, and her long-term inhabitation naturally gave her little concept of such a fixed abode.
Taliyah's innate talent was too strong, and the slightest carelessness in this surging elemental power would hurt the people she loved, and Mother Earth's love was too heavy.
Fortunately, she had met a suitable teacher in Ionia - his blade could manipulate the wind, and he knew the nature of the elements and the true meaning of balance.
Taliyah trained with him for a while, and gradually began to learn to control her powers, which was exactly what she had been looking for.
But before she has learned all her skills, her hometown is calling her. In desperation, she had no choice but to return to Shurima halfway.
If she continues to learn, Jeno feels that she may gradually become happier, and she will use the words "Face the Rock!" "This kind of move.
"If you're done with Zelas, do you want to come to the school in Picheng to study civil engineering for two years? I'm still very energetic in Picheng, and if you can talk to the principal, you can be admitted to further study, free tuition, and a scholarship! ”
"Really? Thank you so much. Taliyah gladly complied, and she often fantasized that it would be nice if she could build houses as skillfully as weavers, and that she would be able to dance and make houses as beautiful as ribbons rise from the ground.
Jeno seems to see a new star in the construction industry rising.
"By the way, I almost forgot about business." Taliyah awoke from her daydream, walked half around the stone castle, and shouted through the door.
"Your Excellency, I brought the person you are looking for."
"I see." The owner of the dull voice had long known of Sivir's approach, but he heard Taliyah and Jeno talking, so he sat down and waited patiently, without disturbing their conversation.
Heavy footsteps were heard, and a large silhouette appeared in the gray haze in front of Jeno's eyes, he was wrapped in rag-like robes from head to toe.
He limped closer, standing in front of several people and looking down, under the shadow of the scarf was a black jackal's head, and his wise eyes wandered over several people, not angry and arrogant.
