【0920】 Karamanda

As a special city of Shurima, although Karamanda is often called together with Uzeris, Nashlame and Berguen, it is not a trade city, but an agricultural, tourism and resource-based city.

As the northwestern end of the Shurima continent, Karamanda is located on the north side of the foothills of the Giant Peak Mountains, facing Demacia and Noxus across the sea.

In terms of popularity, Karamanda is undoubtedly the "first-tier city" of Shurima. When it comes to Karamanda, people's first impression is often the golden bathhouse, the crystal bathhouse, and a special name "Kalaman" that is as famous as "Pictures".

The golden baths and crystal baths here do not only refer to the golden and whiteness of the beach, but also to commemorate the largest gold and crystal mines in Shurima.

In addition, around Karamanda City, there is a precious "fertile oily soil" - one branch of snow water left behind from the Giant God Peak travels westward into the Khali River, and the other branch goes northward, passing Karamanda into the sea, nourishing this land with pleasant location and climate.

With the dual blessing of ocean currents, monsoon and snow water resources, the foothills of the Giant God Peak around Karamanda is distributed in a large amount of fertile soil. Although these soils are close to sand, they are not as barren as sand. Instead, they are full of various nutrients, as if they can drip oil and water by holding a handful. The fertile soil of oil is named for this.

This unique environment has always made Karamanda have a special "rich" - although the beliefs of the Karamandas are very similar to those of the Raquels, they have no custom of asceticism at all, but are willing to use worldly materials to worship the giant gods they worship...

For the Lieyang Sect, the Raquels of Giant God Peak are fists, while Karamanda is an absolute bag of money. From the rise of Zelas, Yasuo can clearly see this completely different but tacit way of division of labor between the two sides.

It seems to be for the sake of making money. Although Karamanda is an absolute religious city, it is not as breathless as Uzeris now. Instead, it is full of an open and lively atmosphere everywhere.

To some extent, Karamanda's momentum is very similar to Piltwof, but it is completely different in his bones - the former is a natural tycoon, and only needs simple farming and mining to harvest a large amount of good things that cannot be produced elsewhere; while the latter is actually very stingy, because each of their Jinhex comes from hard-earned trade, hard-won inventions, and endless commercial competition.

In this case, even in terms of overall output value, Karamanda and Piltwof may be one-digit apart, but in terms of consumption habits and life concepts, Karamandas are far more generous than Madame Piltwof.

In the slang term in the common term, the "Kalaman" used to refer to the Karamanda has the special meaning of "silly people, a lot of money, and rich," while the "Pichengren" who refers to Mrs. Piltwo describes "proud and stingy, cares about everything but must be superior in appearance."

Although regional discrimination is wrong, objectively speaking, different geographical environments in different places have indeed long since developed different cultural customs, and have profoundly affected the mentality, temperament and habits of the local people - and these are the strong feelings given by regional styles.

………………………………………

Unfortunately, Yasuo is in a "golden city" in the hearts of many people, but he is not in a good mood at all.

At this moment, Yasuo is located at the dividing line between the Golden Bathroom and the Crystal Bathroom. In front of him, the twilight sun is spreading in the water, and the waves are shimmering for a long time.

The golden and white beaches are coated with a layer of attractive roses under the setting sun. They are wonderfully harmonious, but when they look closely, they are clearly distinguished and extremely harmonious.

In the eyes of foreign tourists around Yasuo, the beauty of this large beach is worth remembering with all artistic means.

But in Yasuo's eyes, the situation is completely different.

Even if the seagulls chirping happily under the sunset, it seemed to be a mockery of themselves in Yasuo's ears.

As for why this feeling occurs...

The reason is also very simple, Yasuo got lost again.

Looking at the beach in front of him, Yasuo really didn't understand why he went east and finally came outside the north gate?

Moreover, because Yasuo had entered Karamanda from the North Gate before, he deliberately avoided the familiar roads he had followed, but after turning around, he still came to the North Gate!

I'm going to the East Gate!

Yasuo didn't know what was going on.

Seeing that it was approaching dusk, Yasuo could only sigh and then start asking the locals for help - at least, he remembered the name of the hotel he was staying at. He just needed to pretend to be a lost tourist and he could go back smoothly, at least not even find his place of residence.

Shaking his head, Yasuo tried hard to get rid of this delicate frustration, a smile appeared on his face, and then began to inquire about the location of his hotel from a guy dressed in a local.

The other party seemed to be a typical Karamanda. Under Yasuo's compliment of his conscience, he quickly showed his side of Karamanda in a generous manner. You know, Yasuo just praised an extremely clumsy golden amulet on his neck in an exaggerated tone. This guy seemed to be a friend Yasuo who had not seen for many years. He pulled Yasuo and said, "Your aesthetic is really nothing. You are Piltwolf's artist at first glance. I know that you artists all have long hair."

Looking at the other party's extremely enthusiastic appearance, Yasuo licked his lips, but in the end he did not tell him that Picheng people rarely had pure black hair like himself.

In the other party's opinion, Yasuo's hesitation was accusation. He began to quickly explore Yasuo's artistic methods and advocated his "unique insights" about art.

Then, Yasuo followed the excited guy with great embarrassment and went outside a villa, and then listened to the other party's introduction of his collection.

It seems that in order to prevent the cowhide from being blown out, after "testing" Yasuo's hometown, the guy changed his subject and turned directly to the traditional art of Ionia, which seemed to be able to successfully hide his ignorance in front of an artist.

This is not the most embarrassing thing.

The most embarrassing thing is... the "Ionian traditional art" in this guy's mouth is not a traditional art at all. In his collection, Yasuo clearly saw a lot of familiar things.
