Chapter 391: The Palace Castle of the Queen of Ice
One thing to say.
It's actually called that.
Lin Luo took a look at the properties of the biscuits and saw that they were really good.
[Item: The most delicious biscuits in the world]
[Type: Consumables]
[Grade: Special ungraded items]
[Conditions of use: No restrictions on any creature]
[Description: When you use this item, 30% of your maximum health and mana will be restored immediately, and 20% of your maximum health, mana, stamina, and energy will be restored within the remaining hour, and

[Tip: If any Runeterra creature eats cookies, its mood value will immediately increase to: Pleasure. You can use it at special moments, such as when discovering special tasks.]
[Tip: This cookie can be used in battle, even if it is controlled. 】
[Evaluation: World Rune is also the best pastry master in the world!]
So far, Lin Luo has 17 biscuits, because it has been eight and a half days since he obtained the runes, so that's exactly the number.
Lin Luo had forgotten this thing at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he just needed it.
Ge'an quickly took the biscuit, and the rich and sweet smell made him intoxicated, and his saliva flowed down.
[Tip: Shaman Ge'an used your rune biscuits, and his mood changed to: joy!]
This happy state is really useless for people like Ge An, but if you face many NPCs that are difficult to contact, the happy attribute is very useful, and it can save a lot of trouble in communication.
"How do you feel now?"
Lin Luo couldn't help but laugh as he watched Ge An wolfing down the cookies.
The latter quickly gave a thumbs up and said:
“I’ve never had such delicious food!”
Lin Luo:
"I mean, how is your energy now?"
Ge'an quickly stood up and began to move his legs and feet. Then his eyes widened as if he had discovered something terrible, and he shouted excitedly:
"My energy is returning! I feel so energetic now that I can definitely kill a cow!"
Lin Luo laughed dumbly:
"Then just keep going."
The group continued towards the top of the Holy Peak. With the slow recovery of Biscuit and the speed of Ge'an's own energy recovery, it was able to support him to climb to the top of the mountain.
As we get closer and closer to the top of the mountain.
Lin Luo finally saw a tall castle made entirely of Jibing.
"Is that made of Zhenbing?"
Ge'an felt the chill coming from far away, and subconsciously asked Silas.
The latter shook his head:
"How is it possible? Zhenbing is an extremely rare treasure. Even the Ice Queen only has a holy bow made of Zhenbing. How could she be so luxurious as to build a castle with Zhenbing?"
He added:
"Not to mention Avarosa, with all the perfect ice available in the entire Freljord, it is impossible to build a castle."
Lin Luo looked at the castle from a distance.
The ice and snow are blue, and there is the emblem of the Avarosa tribe on the top of the castle.
The castle was built on the edge of a cliff on the top of the mountain, giving people a sense of crisis that it could collapse at any time, but it also had an unusual excitement.
An icy blue chill lingered around the Ice Castle.
There are many tents scattered outside the castle, and among them live Avarosa's guards, who must all be top-notch masters.
At this time, the gate of Jibing Castle was tightly closed and the windows were completely closed.
Lin Luo said:
"Isn't the Ice Queen in the castle?"
Silas shook his head:
"Of course she is, and she already knows about our arrival."
Everyone was walking while talking, and the speed was quite fast.
About forty-five minutes later, Lin Luo finally reached the top of the Holy Peak. He saw the tents around Jibing Castle beginning to shake, but Silas suddenly released a magical aura, and a faint ice storm hovered over Jibing Castle.
stand up.
This seemed to be a signal, and the restless tents gradually became quiet as if they had heard the king's instructions.
"I can only send you here. My status is not suitable for entering Jibing Castle."
Silas stopped about half a kilometer away and stopped Gian at the same time.
The implication is that Lin Luo is allowed to move forward on his own, and the rest is entirely up to him.
Lin Luo nodded. Although he understood that it was almost impossible to fight now that he had come here, he was still vigilant in holding the black bow and using his skills. This place was too dangerous. If he died if he was not careful, it would be a big loss.
.
The splendid and majestic castle stood high in front, emitting light like a solid ice, Lin Luo squinted his eyes as he walked.
When he walked within 100 meters of Jibing Castle, he suddenly felt like he was touching something invisibly, like an indestructible transparent barrier. Lin Luo raised his hands and touched it, and indeed he felt an extremely cold invisible barrier.
, and when he touched it with both hands, there were still swaying waves slowly spreading out.
[Hint: You have come to the Forbidden Land of Avarosa: the Ice Queen’s Palace Castle.]
[Tip: You must meet the corresponding conditions to pass the polar ice shield.]
Lin Luo thought for a moment and decisively took out the 'Ancient Iceborn Arrow' from his backpack. This time he witnessed an effect that he had never seen before.
I saw the simple and historical Iceborn Arrow floating on its own, surrounded by a shining light of extreme ice.
Then Lin Luo felt the character raise his hand uncontrollably and hold the arrow tightly.
So this light spread to Lin Luo's arm through the arrow, and then slowly spread throughout the body, completely covering Lin Luo.
[Hint: You have activated the ‘Ancient Iceborn Power’! 】
Lin Luo immediately realized that he had obtained some kind of buff. He was ready to activate the Till Death Medal at any time, then took a deep breath and stepped forward!
at the same time.
Silas, not far away, was also staring at Lin Luo.
This kind of place seemed surprisingly quiet, but the most terrifying crisis lurked. Of course, he wanted to avoid Lin Luo from rushing in and getting hurt, so he thought about it and was ready to rescue him at any time.
But the next scene made both Silas and Gian take a long breath.
Lin Luo stepped into the invisible barrier unharmed. It was the power of the ancient ice descendant outside his body that protected him.
"Great, luckily I have this baby!"
Lin Luo was secretly happy in his heart. He quickened his pace and walked towards the castle gate. When he got close, he raised his hand to knock on the door. Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened on its own as if it had eyes. Then a warm and comfortable air flow hit his face!
[Tip: Jibing Castle has opened its door to you, you can enter now.]
[Tip: The Extreme Ice Castle is in an absolutely safe state, and you cannot initiate a fight.]
Lin Luo looked up curiously, and he saw that the first floor of the castle was extremely simple. There were only a few bookshelves as far as the eye could see, and three tamed Freljord falcons were wandering around in the living room.
"Is anyone here?"
Lin Luo knocked on the door gently, signaling that he was about to enter the castle.
A well-dressed Avarosa maid walked out of the inner room. She looked expressionless and exuded an inhumane aura. Lin Luo saw at a glance that she was a level 45 gold NPC with incomparable attributes.
The warriors of the top ten tribes are low.
"You are the adventurer Lin Avarosa from the heroic city-state. Welcome to your arrival."
The Avarosan maid performed tribal etiquette, and her words were as straightforward as she looked:
"Please follow me. The Queen and War Mother Sejuani are waiting for you in the meeting hall."
This sentence immediately shocked Lin Luo.
Sejuani War Mother?
Isn't this the female leader of another Iceborn tribe, the Winter's Claw?
"What happened to the Freljord?"
Lin Luo felt bad in his heart and asked subconsciously.
Unfortunately, the former did not answer, but turned around and walked back. Lin Luo had to suppress her doubts and follow her quietly.
Jibing Castle is so quiet that you can hear the drop of a needle, giving people the feeling of a ghost castle that has been uninhabited for a long time, but there is a warmer atmosphere in the air.
Walking up the straight stairs, Lin Luo saw many murals hanging on the walls of the castle. These murals were by no means the magnificently framed works of art at the exhibition. Instead, they were full of rough and ancient atmosphere, but clearly expressed
What you want to express.
Lin Luo quietly went upstairs, paying attention to the details in the mural.
He saw an ancient iceberg in the first mural. Countless ancient people of Freljord were busy at the foot of the mountain. A woman wearing an ice blue cloak, holding a perfect ice bow, and with far-sighted eyes stood on the iceberg.
The endless ice and snow storm swirled around her like a spirit, and the wind and snow seemed to be integrated with her, not separated from each other.
"This should be the Freljord of ancient times, and this woman on top of the snow-capped mountains must be Avarosa of ancient times."
According to Gian's previous description, Avarosa was the daughter of Snowfield a long time ago. She has the power to completely control the blood of ice. The wind and snow in the world are like her breath. She is the darling of the sky and the daughter of Freljord.
Saint.
If you want to compare, then she is probably equivalent to Oren, the founding god general of Demacia.
Even in a sense, her power is stronger, because Oren is only a human after all, and she completely masters the blood of ice and is a saint who can rival gods with a mortal body. People still remember her to this day.
she.
Eighty percent of the reason why the Ice Queen is loved by the Freljord is the rumor that she is the reincarnation of Avarosa.
People in the world would rather believe what they have than what they don’t have.
So you can imagine Avarosa's transcendent status in this ice sheet.
"The second mural should be done later."
Lin Luo looked at the second mural. The content of the painting was that at the end of an ancient and wild world, thick black smoke floated out of the abyss and rose into the sky.
Lin Luo could tell at a glance that it was the Howling Abyss, the place where the cracks in the other world were suppressed.
On the edge of the deep and terrifying abyss cliff, three figures stood quietly. They were the first leaders of the three ice descendants in ancient times.
They are the first leader of the Avarosa tribe, the saint Avarosa himself.
Then there is the first leader of the Winter's Claw tribe, War Mother Yanols
Finally, there is the frost witch Lissandra, the first leader of the Frostguard tribe.
These three people were the leaders who formed the three major Iceborn tribes at the beginning of the Freljord. Now the Saint Avarosa and War Mother Yanols have passed away in the years, and the Frost Witch Lissandra herself has become the Perfect One.
Ice lasts forever.
Before the ancient times, they were still three sisters. At that time, the cracks in the Howling Abyss had begun to threaten Runeterra. Judging from the appearance of this mural, they should be thinking of how to eliminate this threat to Freljord and even the entire Runeterra.
Solve the hidden dangers on the ground.
Lin Luo was fascinated by it without realizing it, and he looked at the third mural.
In this mural, everything in the world is like molten fire.
Lin Luo saw a mountain-like god standing in the molten fire. It had goat's horns on its head and was covered in iron armor made of magma and molten fire. It held a hammer of molten fire and built a bridge of perfect ice across the entire crack.
.
"This should be the origin of that bridge."
Lin Luo knew before that there was a bridge suppressing the Howling Abyss. The Bridge of Perfect Ice blocked the cracks like a door bolt, making it impossible for demons from other worlds to pass.
Now it seems that that bridge was built by the ancient god of molten fire, Aoun.
Not far away, the three Ice Sisters were watching from a distance. It can be inferred that the three sisters jointly requested the God of Molten Fire, and the God was moved to build this bridge.
"But now the ice has melted, cracks have begun to appear on the bridge, and demons have descended from another world... It seems that what G'an said is right, a terrible crisis has come to Freljord."
Lin Luo wanted to look up at the fourth painting, but a cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Your Excellency, Adventurer, has arrived."
Lin Luo suddenly woke up and suddenly realized that he had arrived at the door of a quiet meeting hall. Through the half-open door, he could see many people sitting inside.
It seems that not only the Ice Queen and Sejuani, but also people with some status from these two tribes are here.
And it is obvious that they are discussing how to face the coming crisis.
…
…………
"Chief Luoangsi, I think there is a big problem with your position! We can't sit still and wait for death. Based on previous experience, the ice demon will only become stronger year by year! You don't know this truth, right? Do we hide in Laxta every year?
Ke? We can escape this year and next year, but what about ten years from now? What about fifty years from now? If this continues, we will be finished sooner or later, right?"
A big man with a big beard and an antlered helmet on his head, with an excited face, slapped the table and kept roaring.
Lin Luo gently pushed the door open, and the sound of footsteps made everyone look at him suddenly.
At one time, more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at Lin Luo, with different expressions, but all of them were intimidating. But Lin Luo was not afraid of this, even if a true god stood in front of him, he would not be intimidated.
He met everyone's eyes without changing his expression, and then a roar stunned him.
It turned out that these people just glanced at him briefly, and then immediately turned away to talk to themselves.
The one who roared was a lean but thin middle-aged man, wearing a tribal totem that resembled a raven. He shouted at the bearded man with antlers and a helmet just now:
"Dernsi! You are absolutely crazy! Why should we leave Larkstadt? You said that the ice demon is getting stronger and stronger. We must choose to resist rather than go out and die!"
He stared with bloodshot eyes and said:
"If you think about it carefully, we just need to wait until the Ice and Snow Festival is over, right? There is only more than half a month left. We don't come here like this every year. Why do you want to go out and die?"
Although Lin Luo came midway, he instantly understood the topic of discussion based on the content of the conversation.
Obviously, the ice demon army is now gradually approaching, and the tribes of Rakstak are holding a meeting here.
They were discussing whether to attack or defend.
The bearded man named Deners also has a hot temper:
"Fuck you! If this continues, it will be over sooner or later. The defensive pressure on Rakstark is increasing dramatically every year. Don't you have any idea of the damage to the top ten tribes and Avarosa last year? Who can guarantee that we can do it this year?
Hold on, you are just a coward, just like you, you are so small and vulnerable!!"
The little clan leader was so furious that he started shouting at the scene:
"Say it again! Do you dare to challenge me!!!"
The former stood up holding a huge mace:
"I've wanted to beat you up for a long time!"
The atmosphere instantly ignited, almost exploding. It was obviously such a cold place, and the entire conference hall seemed to be burning with fire.
Lin Luo looked at the two people with a strange expression.
I didn't expect that there would be a good show right after arriving. It looks like these two are going to have sex?
He passed by without leaving a trace with a discerning eye.
These two people are both level 50 epic NPCs, and their headdresses are very obvious. They are the chiefs of the Julu Tribe and the Blue Crow Tribe respectively.
It is worth mentioning that these two tribes are both top ten tribes, and they are also top five ruthless tribes, otherwise they would not dare to speak so loudly.
Lin Luo looked around and probably understood the situation here.
He saw Lie Shanhe, the leader of the Red Blade Tribe, sitting quietly on the edge seat, apparently having no chance to speak due to his status.
The ten clan leaders here with different shapes and faces are all men, which correspond to the top ten tribes.
These ten tribes are all patrilineal tribes and are also affiliated tribes of Avarosa.
On the higher center seat, there are two tall thrones.
One of them wears the Frost Crown of Avarosa, an ice-blue royal dress, long ice-white hair hanging down past his waist, a face carved with ice, and a pair of stunning but soul-chilling snow-white eyes that exude
Beauty, nobility, vision, and self-discipline.
She quietly watched the discussion among the top ten tribes, as if it was none of her business, but everyone knew that the Ice Queen had her own ideas.
To her right stood a tall man who exuded the aura of blood. He always held a simple and fierce sword in his hand, guarding him quietly like a guard, like a fierce god.
On another throne next to the Ice Queen, a woman with a rough and wild figure was sitting in front of her.
Her expression is fierce and brutal, and she is completely undisguised. She is covered in a battle armor made of ice, which means that she can wake up at any time to fight even in her sleep. The horn helmet on her head is like a Viking's.
It showed savagery and cruelty, but her eyes also had an unusual coldness and tranquility.
This means that she is not a purely brutal and brutal warrior, she also has a calm and intelligent brain.
There was also a savage and primitive figure standing on her right, but his whole body was completely covered by animal skins, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Various complex auras were mixed and mixed on him, giving people the impression that he was completely unlike a human being, but he also said
I don’t know what kind of existence he is.
"This should be the war mother of Avarosa and Winter's Claw. The two beside them are their cronies."
Lin Luo roughly looked around.
Including myself now, there are fifteen people in the entire conference hall.
There are ten clan leaders from the top ten tribes, and then there are the war mothers and confidants of the two ice tribes, plus myself, there are exactly fifteen.
Moreover, these guys from the top ten tribes didn’t care about their arrival at all, as if they were all talking to themselves.
Especially the two people from the Giant Deer Tribe and the Blue Jay Tribe, who have already rolled up their sleeves and are ready to fight directly. This is indeed in line with the Freljord tradition.
Lin Luo actually wanted to take a closer look at the Ice Queen's demeanor and face. After all, as an Ice Jinchuriki, he had a similar emotional attachment to this legendary hero, but reason told him that if he didn't want to cause trouble, it was best not to
If you keep staring, if there is a misunderstanding, you will most likely be hung up in an instant.
"Everyone, please calm down."
Lin Luo finally heard the voice of the Ice Queen. Her first impression was that it was soft but with little emotion. Generally speaking, it was polite and decent, but without any personal emotions. It meant that it had a very high status, was extremely powerful, and
A manifestation of absolute sanity.
Lin Luo glanced there inadvertently, and the latter seemed to be aware of this detail. Those quiet and stunning eyes glanced at him, and then the momentum and pressure rushed towards him like a mountain!
Lin Luo quickly turned his head away as if there was a thunder in his heart!
[Tip: Ice Queen Ashe noticed your gaze, but she did not have any psychological fluctuations. 】
Lin Luo was stunned when he heard this prompt, and then he felt a little dumbfounded. He always felt that something was weird.
But he probably understood a little bit.
This Ice Queen has a lot in common with herself, but for now she seems to be an enhanced version of herself.
First of all, there is no doubt that she and Lin Luo both belong to the archery system, and most archers, even shooters, must have a common trait, which is to stay calm, otherwise, when playing group games or even PK, their minds will get heated up.
Everything will be gone in a second, so calmness is the first quality of the core output.
Lin Luo felt it very clearly.
This Ice Queen has an extremely calm quality.
This kind of calmness definitely does not refer to the coolness in appearance or demeanor, but refers to the calmness in temperament and mental state. Even if the entire Ice-free Peak suddenly collapsed, she would not be confused and fall into panic.
The Ice Queen, who had a calm temperament, said in a calm tone:
"Everyone, let's pause the debate for a moment. Freljord has welcomed a young legendary adventurer, and I have to introduce him to you."
She paused, then suddenly looked at Lin Luo, showing a decent smile:
"Or do you do it yourself?"
Lin Luo's whole body tensed up, but his strong heart would not let him have stage fright. He had already experienced bigger scenes than this.
"sure!"
Lin Luo took a deep breath, then smiled and introduced himself:
"Everyone, I am Lin, an adventurer from the heroic city-state. I have experienced the rise of the new king of Demacia, and I have also witnessed the glory of the City of Progress. I am very interested in the mysterious and ancient Freljord. I cherish
I came here with an adventurous heart, and I am very happy to meet you all!”
His rhetoric is timeless anywhere, because he has actually experienced it, and it's obvious that everyone here understands it to a greater or lesser extent.
A skinny old man suddenly asked:
"I heard that you helped the new king of Demacia ascend the throne? How did you do it? This is a country protected by gods."
Obviously, he is very interested in Lin Luo.
This is because Lin Luo's 100 achievement points have an immediate effect.
Lin Luolang said:
"Of course I have obtained the permission of the gods. This is a fact that already exists."
Another tribe leader, who was fat but had sharp eyes, spoke, his voice like a thunderstorm:
"Why did you come to Freljord? This is not a treasure land. You can neither make a fortune nor live a good life here. What is your purpose of coming here?"
This question was even simpler, and Lin Luo showed a smile:
"Simple, because I am an adventurer!"
His answer made the other party stunned, and then he fell into deep thought. Yes, Lin Luo is not only an adventurer, but also a legendary adventurer. The meaning of an adventurer is to travel around the world, which has nothing to do with money and wealth.
, to be precise, it is a spirit of adventure.
Lin Luo's answer seemed to satisfy everyone.
The clan leaders of the top ten tribes looked at each other and then nodded.
Lin Luo probably understood that he had gained their preliminary approval.
[Tip: You have shown your origins to the Avarosa Conference, and their favorability towards you has increased to: Normal. You can now participate in the discussion of the conference.]
When the game prompt came down, Lin Luo saw the Ice Queen raising her hand slightly, and then the maid took him to an ice seat not far away.
"Okay, now everyone has officially arrived."
The Ice Queen showed a noble and beautiful smile, she gently raised her hand and said:
"Next, we can start to formally discuss the 'Battle of Larkstadt'!"
Lin Luo was shocked when he heard these words.
According to the meaning of the words, could it be said that the other party had expected that he would come?
But then I thought about it, there are shamans everywhere in Rune Land, they can predict the future, and it seems that the purpose of my coming here cannot be hidden from them, let alone the Ice Queen.
At the same time, Lin Luo heard a solemn game prompt.
[Tip: You triggered the Freljord-Avarosa Tribe major event mission: The Battle of Rakstark!]
[Task description: As you go all the way north, you gradually understand what kind of disaster the Freljord is facing. What is more terrifying than the ice and snow are the demons from another world. The Freljord people have already survived in the severe cold of winter.
It is difficult, and now we are facing a powerful enemy that kills everyone. You have arrived at the ice-free holy peak of Laxtak. Your legendary experience is recognized by everyone. You are qualified to participate in this grand meeting, and you must express your opinion.]
[Task reward: If your opinion is approved by different tribes, then the tribe's favorability towards you will be improved to: friendly, and you can unlock the tribe's pass qualifications. 】
"No wonder the castle door is closed. There is such a big meeting. No wonder Silas said he was not suitable to come in here... Maybe he already knew about this."
Lin Luo thought in his mind.
Sylas fled to the Freljord a long time ago. He must have experienced a lot and knew about the annual Rakstark Conference.
Maybe he had participated in this kind of meeting a long time ago, but now he didn't want to intervene anymore, or he chose to give himself the opportunity to intervene.
"No matter what, I still say the same thing! Lark Stark can no longer be a coward, we must take the initiative!"
The bearded leader of the Julu tribe had red eyes, looking like a militant.
It was obvious that he was advocating for the radical faction. He hoped that all the tribes in Lakstaq would join forces to attack and kill the ice demons on their own initiative.
"I said it! We won't back down if we can, but the difference in numbers is too big. You have to know that the number of Rakstrucks is limited, and those ice demons are as endless as unkillable cockroaches. Even if we start with one
So what if there are ten enemies? How about fifty times more than us? What about a hundred times more?"
The skinny leader of the Blue Jay tribe gritted his teeth and said:
"I firmly oppose it! We have to retain our limited strength. With the protection of the natural barrier of Lakstak, we can survive for half a month, so that we can get through this ice and snow festival safely!"
The sound of the confrontation between the two became louder and louder, eventually causing the rest of the tribe to make noises.
Lin Luo discovered a very coincidental thing, that is, the tribes supported by both sides were evenly divided, with half of each group holding their own opinions.
"Your Majesty the Queen! You are the only one who can speak at this time!"
The bearded leader of the Julu Tribe looked at the Ice Throne. He knelt down on one knee and begged the Ice Queen to speak.
The Ice Queen, known as the reincarnation of Avarosa, is the leader in everyone's hearts, not only because she is orthodox, but also because she also has the power that can be called great power.
Lin Luo didn't dare to check her information rashly.
But looking at her demeanor and momentum, we can tell that her true strength can easily overwhelm everyone present.
"I think what you said makes sense."
At this moment, a female voice full of masculinity sounded. Male refers to the brutal and rough tone, and the female voice refers to her voice.
Sejuani, the Winter's Claw Warmother on the other throne, looked at him with a satisfied look:
"Facing a formidable enemy, we should not retreat blindly. Otherwise, if you have no way to retreat, you will still be killed. So it is better to attack boldly. What you said makes sense."
Lin Luo looked at the fierce figure, thinking that she was indeed a woman riding a pig, she was so crazy in everything she said and did.
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Luo didn't expect that the other party would catch her eyes. She looked over with raised eyebrows:
"Is there anything you want to express? It doesn't hurt to just say it!"
Sejuani's opening made everyone look over.
Lin Luo felt that pressure suddenly came on him, but he did not panic at all, but thought about it carefully and said:
"I also agree with your view."
Sejuani looked surprised when she heard this, then nodded with satisfaction and laughed.
