【0903】 Artificial cocoon room
In this graduation practice, Taliyah can almost be regarded as the "commander-in-chief in the rear" - with Yasuo personally leading the team and Sarah staying on Fuguang Island, Taliyah, who guides students in practice while coordinating the overall news, can now be regarded as "high-ranking and powerful".
However, even so, after meeting Kasadin and Kasad, she had no idea.
The disappearance of a whole group of students was too amazing and was no longer a problem she could deal with easily. In this case, all she could do was report the news to Yasuo as soon as possible and let Yasuo handle the matter personally.
After all, if Yasuo really plans to rescue him, the rescue team will go deep into Akasia and even face the void!
This level of thing is not something Taliyah can decide.
After a brief discussion, after replenishing supplies, Kasadin and Kasah set off again without stopping, heading towards Zurita, looking for Yasuo and bringing the news to him.
At this moment, Yasuo knew nothing about the situation of the second group of students. When Cassadin and his daughter left Kenneth, he was teaching the students how to erase the traces left after the action, while moving towards Uzeris with the team.
There is no way, Zelas seems to have noticed the team's previous actions in Zurita. If he continues to work behind enemy lines, he may soon have a major sweep.
Although the general level of sweep had no effect on Yasuo, the protagonist of this event was a student after all, so after getting the news, the team set off quickly and turned around neatly to Uzeris, heading west.
As for why Uzeris was chosen as the goal of the second stop...
The reason is also very simple.
Through Zurita's experience, students have already gained a relatively clear understanding of the destruction of war and the cruelty of the sand thief.
Now, it’s time for them to see the power of superstition!
………………………………………
If Nashrame is the real capital of Zelas now, then Uzeris is the religious center of this huge force. Because when Uzeris was captured, Zelas almost completely relied on the power of the Lieyang Sect, so after taking over this city, except for the sand thieves robbing, the entire city almost completely entered the state of Lieyang Sect control.
As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
Before really participating in the Shurima matter, students still need to know more about the Lieyang Sect. If you want to understand this Sect, is there any better way to go to its core area to see it?
In theory, going to the Giant God Peak will allow students to understand the true face of these religions, but compared to Uzeris, the Giant God Peak is really dangerous, so after thinking about it, Yasuo decided to settle for the second best and take the students to Uzeris to see what this "land of gods on earth" looks like.
Unlike Zurita, who is full of chaos, Uzeris at least seems to have basic order.
From the first feeling, apart from the more religious buildings, this city does not seem to be much different from other Shurima cities - this is the opinion of the students.
But in Yasuo's eyes, things are completely different.
The students had never been to Uzeris before and didn't know what the city was like, so they subconsciously compared it with the barren Zurita and came to a conclusion that "nothing special".
But Yasuo has been to this city before!
Although that was a long time ago, in order to cause trouble for Noxus, Uzeris, who was under the control of the Noxus, was much more pleasing to the eye than the current lifeless city.
In Yasuo's impression, Uzeris is a rigorous commercial city.
Although the colonists of Noxus have been here for a long time and have been corrupted by money and power, they are generally still ruling. In addition, they are open to the outside world. You can see all kinds of people from different regions in Uzeris. As long as they abide by the laws of the Noxus at that time and pay taxes, they can freely operate in Uzeris.
But now, everything has changed.
An indescribable dullness and silence enveloped the commercial city. The number of pedestrians on the streets was sparse, and the talkers were completely invisible. It seemed that all the Uzeris people learned to wear headscarves, to make small steps and to learn ventralism overnight.
In the whole city, it seems that only those temples belonging to the Lieyang Sect are a little angry, and this rare noise comes from the bishops and priests who loudly tell the teachings of Lieyang in the temple.
The students who just came here did not realize the problem, but in Yasuo and Arrelia's eyes, Uzeris's current condition is already very bad!
On the surface, the lives of civilians are very peaceful, and there are no sand robbers and soldiers causing trouble in the town.
But as long as you observe, you will find that the residents here look a bit too "poverty" in terms of clothing, food, residence, and gathering.
This kind of poverty seems a bit like the destruction caused by war, but if you compare the magnificent Temple of Lie Sun and think about it carefully, something is wrong.
The civilians with a stable mind are not built well in their hearts, but become resigned to fate under the brainwashing of religion. When all prosperity is hidden and everyone "has to" settle down in poverty, the rule of the Lieyang Sect will stabilize.
Similar to Giant God Peak, in Uzeris, the only entertainment activity is the various ritual ceremonies of the Lieyang Sect. Under the scarce material conditions, the Uzeris people did not have any extra supplies for entertainment, so participating in the activities of the Lieyang Sect became their only activity that can be called "spiritual food".
Even though the residents of Uzeris were not interested in this at the beginning, they became accustomed to it after a long time without having to choose.
Yasuo, who has experienced the information cocoon, is very familiar with this situation - but compared with the information cocoon created by big data in the information age, religious brainwashing under geographical isolation is obviously much higher. The former can only deceive children who are not well-informed, and once they go deep into society, they can easily see through many lies; but the latter physically separates the Uzeris from seeing the outside world, thereby firmly controlling everything in this city.
