Chapter 456 [0451] Investor Shivana

Ino, who failed to meet his family, traveled very fast.

Without having to take care of his family, Ino could continue riding Iva directly westward, and it only took one day to fly from Silver City to Fosbyro.

It is interesting to say that the blood connection between Iva and Shyvana was originally the connection for her to try to find and kill Shyvana, but now it has become the "kite line" in Kalya's hands.

When Ino met her family in Silver City, Shyvana in human form could stay in Silver City with her as a partner, but Iva in dragon form could not.

So, according to Kalya, Iva could move freely in the nearby mountains and wait for conscription.

Upon hearing this, Iva agreed on the surface, but turned around and ran away, heading north to Freljord - he also thought very clearly that he had been transformed into an ice elemental dragon, so as long as he flew north, he could always get rid of that dangerous guy.

Unfortunately, after Shyvana found that she was far away from her, she notified Kalya as soon as possible.

Then, Kalya decisively activated the contract and forcibly recruited Iva.

The recruited Iva tried his best to fly north, but he could only flap his wings in the air - he was led by Shyvana and arrested, and then beaten by Kalya.

While imprisoning Evelyn, Kalya was quite knowledgeable about "how to make Iva feel pain without hurting her".

After this time, Iva seemed to have accepted her fate and became completely honest.

Ino, who watched the whole process, felt a little subtle - I don't know if it was her illusion, as if Iva's escape this time was tacitly approved by Kalya.

It seems that Teacher Kalya is waiting to beat Iva!

However, Ino, who learned about Iva's past from Shyvana, can understand Kalya's thoughts very well.

Shyvana, who can communicate and reason, is a special case.

Like most elemental dragons, Iva is essentially a cunning beast.

For the beast, it is useless to talk and negotiate, only a heavy punch can make her understand who is the boss.

According to Kalya, before becoming an ancient dragon, the elemental dragons all have wisdom, but not much.

So the essence of dragon taming is still taming beasts.

……………………

When Ino arrived at Fosbyro, Lux was still leading the soldiers to Lagario along the glacier track.

This means that Ino does not have the official identity of Fosbyro at this time, and the specific work cannot be carried out for the time being.

However, although the administrative work cannot be started yet, the investigation of Fosbyro can be carried out first-taking this opportunity, it is also a good opportunity for Teacher Kalya to lead Shyvana and let her better integrate into human society!

So, just like when Lux and Ino first arrived in Piltover, while Lux was not here yet, Ino and Shyvana acted separately and started the first socio-economic survey of Fosbyro.

There is nothing much to say about Ino's investigation. She has conducted specific investigations in Piltover and has been the secretary-general in Zaun for three years. She is already familiar with this kind of social survey. Although her appearance is not as friendly as Lux, it is not difficult for her to chat with people and collect information if necessary.

But Shyvana is more troublesome.

Even with Karya's personal guidance, her appearance and identity directly make it difficult for her to communicate directly with others.

Although the people of Fosbyro are also warm and hospitable, no matter how warm they are, they are generally unwilling to accept a guest who hides his head and shows his tail.

Let alone conducting a socioeconomic survey, even if Shyvana musters up the courage to chat with people with Karya's encouragement, she often receives wary eyes and silent silence.

This situation makes Shyvana quite frustrated. She is willing to come here because she believes Ino's statement that "she can integrate into Fosbyro", but from the current situation, it is not easy to be accepted by the people here.

However, Karya has her own way to deal with this.

"People are wary of a different person not because she is different from themselves, but because they don't know why she is different from themselves." After Shyvana hit a wall for a day, Karya gave her own explanation and solution, "The people of Fosbyro have never seen someone like you. They don't know whether you are a good person or a bad person, so they will always be wary of you."

Hearing Karya's words, Shyvana could only nod silently.

"So, you need to give yourself an identity that they can accept." Karya continued, "The current Fosbyro may not be able to directly accept a dragon, but in addition to a dragon, you have another identity."

"I have another identity?" Shyvana was a little confused, "Daughter of Iva?"

"No, no, no, I mean, you are still Lady of Piltover!" Karya laughed, "Didn't you grow up in Piltover since you were a child?"

"Lady of Piltover?" Shyvana blinked in surprise, "So, I have to get along with them as a Lady of Piltover?"

"That's right." Kalya confirmed this statement. "Although the comprehensive socio-economic survey has not yet begun, Ino and Lux ​​have been here for a few rounds before. Compared with other Demacia cities, the people of Fosbyro are more interested in business. For them, even if an investor from Piltover looks a little strange, they should be more willing to accept it."

Kalya's method surprised Shyvana.

She never thought that the Piltover people could also be used as another identity to cover up their identity as elemental dragons.

However, thinking carefully, Kalya's method might really be very effective. Although the specific data is not clear, Shyvana can be sure that the distance from Fosbyro to Piltover is more than ten thousand miles.

People here may have heard of Piltover, but they probably have no idea what the Piltover people look like.

Just like when Shyvana was a child, her friends thought her horns were some kind of Hextech device. What's wrong with the Piltover people having horns?

However, after thinking about this, Shyvana soon realized some other problems.

I don't have any money at all, so why would I be an investor?

And Karya had obviously considered this a long time ago.

"Investors may not carry a lot of cash, and the commodity economy in Fosbyro is not developed. Even if you want to buy something at this time, Fosbyro may not have anything to sell to you!"

……………………

Under Karya's guidance, Shyvana used her cloak as raw material to cut a simple coat and a Piltover-style OL short skirt for herself.

Although she didn't have high heels, Shyvana herself was tall, and wearing this slim coat and short skirt, she really looked like a Piltover tycoon.

However, although her appearance didn't seem to have any problems, even with Karya's simultaneous interpretation, Shyvana would still be timid as soon as she opened her mouth.

There was no way. Although she had a kind personality, she was completely outgoing - compared to actively communicating with people, Shyvana actually preferred and was used to staying quietly in the crowd.

Fortunately, Karya also had his own way of dealing with this.

"Look in the mirror, look at your current appearance, Shyvana." Before leaving, he gave Shyvana a card-style special training, "That's it, remember your current appearance, just have no expression."

"But, shouldn't merchants be familiar with others?" Shyvana obviously didn't understand what Karya meant, "If I have no expression, I don't look like a merchant who came to Fosbyro, do I?"

"You are an investor! Not a small trader selling small things!" Karya corrected, "Have you forgotten the character background I prepared for you?"

"Leaving Piltover, competing with his brother for the right of inheritance, and wanting to prove himself." Shyvana has a good memory, "I came to Fosbyro because I thought it was a fortress from Demacia to Freljord, and it has good business potential."

"Yes, that's it, you are a Young people with money at home who need to prove themselves!" Kalya exhorted, "Your age is your biggest advantage. People are always more tolerant of young people."

"But even if my identity is very real, the locals are still unwilling to talk to me?"

"You are different from Ino." Kalya explained, "Ino is originally from the North, so she can go directly to the locals to chat, and she can talk to people for an hour over breakfast-and what you should do is to go to the Chamber of Commerce of Fosbyro and get to know more people through the local Chamber of Commerce."

"Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, the people of Fosbyro have their own Chamber of Commerce, and sell their local specialties to Xiongdu. You should visit them-as long as you trust the Chamber of Commerce, it is equivalent to trusting all the people of Fosbyro."

Blinking her eyes, at this moment, Shyvana seemed to finally understand something.

……………………

The administrative area of ​​Fosbyro is very large. According to the geographical and administrative divisions of Demacia, the entire "Fosbyro area", so the socioeconomic survey of Fosbyro must be a task that takes a lot of time and energy.

However, even though the investigation has not been completed, thanks to Lux and Ino's previous trip north with the caravan, Kalya has some basic understanding of this border city.

At least in the conversation between Lux and the previous caravan owner, Kalya knew that among the specialties of Fosbyro, there is a plant called "Lingjiang", which is very popular in Demacia.

According to the caravan owner, they grow in the cold frozen soil in the wild and need professional ginger pickers to dig in the spring.

After drying for more than a month, the roots of Lingjiang will be sent to the Demacia capital by the caravan and sold as spices at a very high price - but unfortunately, its yield is very low. Often, the ginger pickers in Fosbyro work hard for a spring, and only a few hundred kilograms are dried.

And this time, Shyvana has to play the role of a "merchant who is very interested in Lingjiang and wants to try to buy it in large quantities and sell it to Piltover".

After giving herself a few psychological preparations, Shyvana, expressionless, finally came to the Chamber of Commerce in Fosbyro.

Like most of Fosbiero's buildings, even the Chamber of Commerce's trading house looks quite rough at first glance.

Winter is coming soon, and the money the Chamber of Commerce paid for the goods in Xiongdu has been settled. At this time, the Chamber of Commerce is quite deserted, with only a few guys coming in and out, and it seems that they are cleaning up the warehouse.

Seeing Shivana coming, the guys who are carrying sundries are a little stunned - who is this?

Looking at Shyvana's horns with some surprise, a clerk put down the sundries in his hands and took the initiative to say: "We don't accept retail business here."

"Not retail business." Shyvana shook her head expressionlessly, "I heard that this is the origin of Lingjiang? I want to buy Lingjiang in bulk."

"Then you may have come at the wrong time." The clerk couldn't help shaking his head when he heard it, "Lingjiang has always been in high demand. It will not be unsalable if it is sent to Xiongdu. Today's Lingjiang has been sold out - the payment has been settled. If you want Lingjiang, come back next year!"

"Then do you accept reservations here?" Shyvana continued according to Kalya's instructions, "I hope to directly reserve a batch of Lingjiang."

Hearing that Shyvana wanted to reserve Lingjiang, the clerk's expression finally became subtle.

"I can't say for sure about this kind of thing." He shook his head slightly, "Please wait a moment, I'm going to ask our boss to come."

As he said, he motioned Shyvana to follow him, took her out of the lobby, took her to the side living room, and asked her to wait here.

A moment later, Shyvana met the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce—none other than the boss of the caravan.

"Miss." After seeing Shyvana, the caravan boss smiled and spoke first, "I heard that you want Lingjiang?"

"Yes, a large amount of Lingjiang, I can pay a part of the deposit in advance." Although Shyvana didn't have much money at all, she nodded and said, "I saw Lingjiang in the spice shop in the Demacia Xiongdu. I heard from the boss there that Lingjiang is produced here."

"Yes, Lingjiang is indeed a specialty of Fosbyro." The Chamber of Commerce boss heard the smile on his face, "But, from your accent, it seems that you are not a Demacia, right?"

"Is it that obvious?" Shyvana pretended to be puzzled, "I thought I didn't have an accent?"

"Hehe, because only foreigners call Xiongdu the Demacia Xiongdu." The Chamber of Commerce boss explained with a smile, "And, judging from your dress, you are also different from the locals."

"Hextech!" Shyvana Pointing to his head proudly, "Have you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it!" The Chamber of Commerce boss's eyes lit up, and he took out a pocket watch from his waist, "You are from Piltover!"

"Oh? You know this too?" Shyvana's eyes fell on the pocket watch, "A clockwork pocket watch?"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, a clockwork pocket watch!" The Chamber of Commerce boss clicked the cover of the pocket watch, "It turned out to be a friend from Piltover!"

Kalya's small class·Trade between Demacia and Piltover:

Due to geographical reasons, there is not much commercial trade between Demacia and Piltover-although Demacia has strongholds such as White Cliff City and Needle Creek County in the Valoran Strait, for Demacia, these places are "remote areas" like the North, and self-sufficient Demacia does not have much demand for trade.

In small-scale trade, the Demacians' favorite are the clockwork toys of Piltover and the various gems acquired by Piltover people from Shurima.

Lux once received a clockwork alarm clock as a birthday gift.
