At noon, the four of them approached the Frostguard Fortress, but Poro was still forcibly taken away by someone who came unexpectedly, which made Lester feel a little regretful.
Soon a group of armored soldiers holding black spears approached, and Lester silently observed the warriors of the Frostguard clan loyal to Lissandra.
The leader of the warrior is a typical Freljordian, with a pair of bright ice-blue eyes in the sunken eye sockets. The beard and broad body look very oppressive, but his height is still the same as Lester's 1.9 meters.
The size is slightly smaller.
Arriving in front of the three men, several soldiers took the initiative to bow and salute them.
Church and Catherine did not make a sound, only Grace responded proactively with a smile.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The soldier named 'Locke' smiled friendly at the three of them, then turned to look at Lester, who looked calm, and asked with some confusion.
"It seems that you are going to take this person back. Who is this?"
"He is the reason for our trip, and he is also the person named by Lady Lissandra herself."
"So that's it... Then I won't disturb you all, Master Grace. If you have some free time, do you want to get together? I just got some good stuff from the south, including your favorite wine..."
"Sorry Locke, I may be busy recently. This trip is really too long. I think I should take a good rest at home. I'm afraid I don't have any extra energy to do other things."
"That's it... Then if you want to walk around after you rest, you can come to me at any time. I'll wait for you..."
After bidding farewell to Locke who was reluctant to leave, the four of them continued walking towards the Frostguard Fortress.
Church, who intentionally or unintentionally avoided Lester, kept moving forward with a sullen face without saying a word, while Grace secretly observed Lester who was observing the environment like Grandma Liu.
Catherine, who usually rarely spoke, couldn't stand the weird atmosphere, so she took the initiative to speak for the first time.
"Grace, do you want to go to the pub in Enx Town for a drink after this time?"
Enx Town is located more than ten kilometers west of the Frost Guard Fortress. It is controlled by the Frost Guard Clan and covers a large area. It is equivalent to a small private territory. Everyone knows that the real master of Enx Town is located in Frost Guard.
Queen Lissandra in the Fortress.
As the only popular place within a radius of several hundred miles, Enx Town is a unique place for material circulation in the Far North, and prices are naturally very high.
Thanks to the large caravan protected by the Frostguard Clan, Enx Town can obtain many materials and equipment that can only be enjoyed in the south, including but not limited to expensive Demacian cream cakes, Noxus' private wine,
The gemstone jewelry of the Shurima continent and the Vastaya jewelry of Ionia. As for the origin of the Noxian standard long swords and long knives that are blatantly sold in the weapon shop, as well as the fine armor and stomach of Demacia.
Yes, no one knows, and no one dares to ask.
With the country as its backing, and under the protection of mercenaries and adventurers, large caravans from Demacia and Noxus would carry goods from the south all the way north, spending a year conducting simple exchanges with the Freljord villages along the way.
The land is exchanged for things, and finally they arrive in Enx Town to trade materials with the Frostguard Clan. The caravan will get some rare magic items or treasures buried deep in the ground, while the Frostguard Clan can obtain rare things in the North.
daily necessities or consumables.
A caravan that has obtained a pass from the Frostguard Clan will not be attacked by clan warriors, but will be protected by Frostguard warriors along the way. Except for some desperate bandits and bandits who have gone crazy, no one will be unique to Freljord.
Launch attacks through channels for obtaining external supplies. After all, it is difficult to actively cross the entire continent to the south to obtain trade supplies due to the conditions of the Freljord. The food consumed on the road alone is a big problem.
"Well, maybe I should have a drink after all."
Not seeing any strange color on Lester's face, Grace looked a little disappointed.
Walking all the way up the black stone steps, the four of them passed the guard's inspection and successfully entered the fortress.
The fortress is empty and deserted, and there are tower fortresses built on the mountains and ice walls further away.
Lester only saw groups of soldiers and mages one after another. He did not see any irrelevant people. There were no commercial streets or footholds that are common in ordinary fortresses. Obviously, there were no ordinary civilians gathering in the Frostguard Fortress.
The ground is simply a military building used for garrisoning and defense.
Not prepared to do anything unnecessary, Lester followed the three people with clear goals and continued to advance along the icy avenue towards the deepest part of the 'grave'. Accompanied by wind and snow all the way, the four of them passed through the long black stone chain corridor, and finally
We arrived outside a palace carved out of blue icebergs.
After the announcement was completed, the four-meter-high ice door did not open. The four people entered the main hall through the opened side door.
A faint blue square ice lantern of unknown material is hung above the majestic and empty ice palace. The elite guards of the Frostguard clan and more ice-born warlocks stand on both sides of the hall without looking away, directly above the highest position of the Ice Throne.
Sitting upright was a majestic woman wearing an ice mask and an ice-blue palace robe. The aura emanating from her body was enough to freeze the souls of ordinary people. Her entire body was like a sword of perfect ice.
Lester, who could not kneel down, just stood there, looking directly at Lissandra on the throne. He knew that Lissandra was also looking at him, with a very indifferent attitude.
He was surprised that Lissandra did not cure him of the crime of disrespect.
In the silence, Church and the other three took the initiative and knelt under the throne. The old man's deep voice echoed in the Eternal Ice Palace.
"Master Witch, fortunately, we have successfully found and brought back the target."
"Well, you have worked hard, get up."
"yes."
Not daring to say anything, Church and the other three retreated to the sides. Grace looked at Lester nervously, wondering what the witch would do. Church and Catherine also held their breath.
It would be interesting to kill him directly if he opens his mouth, but after looking for him for so long and finally bringing him back, he shouldn't just use the knife directly.
"Church, keep the items I gave you."
"Yes, Your Lady Queen."
Without hesitation, Church took out the Box of Perfect Ice and placed it on the ground. Lissandra's bodyguard quickly put it away.
The Ice Queen said calmly.
"You guys go down and rest for now. We will discuss your rewards tomorrow. Guards, take this man down."
As two elite warriors wearing armor and helmets came to him, Lester, who had no ability to resist, was once again tied into a big rice dumpling with ropes and escorted out of the Ice Palace by the warriors.
After Church and the others left, Lissandra summoned her secret bodyguard and said calmly.
"Keep an eye on the three of them. If you find any traces of being corroded by the void, you can kill them directly."
