The void infection discovered in the body of the catfish cast a pall over Lux's journey to the Freldrow.
Even though Kalya's anatomy can confirm that catfish are normal cold-water carnivorous fish that have only been eroded by void energy and are not simply evolved from void creatures like earth-escape beasts, this discovery is still
Very clearly illustrates the seriousness of the Freljord's void problem.
After all... carnivorous fish have a large amount of void creations in their bodies, which may very well mean that there is something ulterior and terrifying hidden in the water of Lake Kelafos or even at the bottom of the lake.
However, in this case, the Freljordians have never regarded the void as an independent and terrifying threat, and even have a tradition not to enter the lake, which makes people even more worried.
But no matter how worried she was in her heart, or how tight her strings were, Lux still had to keep smiling on the surface without showing it at all.
It is not easy to maintain such an attitude of having things on one's mind but no worries on the outside. Fortunately, performing multi-tasking is not too difficult for Lux, and no one can see the worries in her heart.
In this way, the group of people moved along the shore of Lake Kelafos. Under the leadership of the Avarosa messenger, Lux finally arrived at Lux on the afternoon of the 21st day after entering the Luxtak Plain.
Tucker City.
Rakstark City, the first city of Freldrow, the place where the three sisters swore an oath.
As a commemoration, on a not-so-steep hillside outside the city of Lakstaq, three ancient statues are still gazing at this ancient city as if they were oaths of alliance.
The statue is not very exquisite, but the eyes of the three sisters are still bright even now, as if they are full of expectation and waiting for hope.
At the foot of the statue, several people wearing Yukar woolen robes were carrying many unique tools and were carrying out cleaning work.
Although they wore robes that were not very flexible, they were very flexible in climbing up and down. Using various tools in their hands, they quickly wiped away the stains and moss on the statues. Every time they cleared a clean area,
They would dip a bit of a slightly viscous transparent liquid from the bucket on their waist and carefully apply it on the surface of the statue.
This liquid solidifies quickly when blown by the wind, turning into a layer of transparent crystals that look a bit like ice.
Due to the relatively long distance, Lux could not sense any elemental fluctuations, but she subconsciously felt that there was an elemental phase change process.
Then, just as she was thinking about the possibilities of this kind of singing paint, Avarosa's messenger came to her.
"Your Majesty Laxana, up ahead is Lax Stark." He spoke Demacian very fluently, but the next moment he switched back to Freljord, "Ashe is waiting for you."
"Got it." Lux fully understood what the other party meant and responded in Demacian, "It's an honor."
……………………
Nearly twenty years have passed since the last time Lux and Ashe met.
Time seems to have stopped on Lux. She still looks like an eighteen-year-old girl. However, due to the change in status, her clothes have gradually become more mature, and her overall temperament has become a bit more friendly.
Calm.
Compared with Lux, Ashe has changed a lot - she has completely lost all her youthfulness and has completely become a mature war mother. Her movements are clean and neat, and although she is always smiling, she
As if she had gained a bit of self-reliance, the icy cold wind of Freljord had roughened her skin, but under the slightly rough skin, except for key parts, she had no trace of excess.
The fat makes the whole person look strong and healthy.
It's hard to imagine that the last time the two met, Ai Xi was the one who looked greener.
When two pairs of slightly rough hands were held together and dark blue and light blue eyes looked at each other, two smiles with deep meanings bloomed on the two faces.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Although one is the Emperor of Demacia and the other is War Mother Avarosa, after the two parties met, they greeted each other in different languages like old friends - Lux's Demacian accent was smooth, Ashe's Fu
Laeljo German is also fluent and clear. No translation is needed, and both parties can understand each other's meaning smoothly.
"Welcome to watch the ceremony." As the host, Ai Xi took the initiative to pull Lux forward, "taking this opportunity, you can also meet more of each tribe. The northern trade also needs new partners."
"I wish I could." Lux nodded lightly, "I have long heard that the Luxtak Plain is extremely rich. It would be great if the local tribes could join the northern trade."
"Many war mothers have told me about this." Ashe showed a natural expression, "Everyone wants to join it. Although Rakstad is still broad, there are still many things missing. This
One of the most important things for this alliance is to solve this problem."
"Trade is the source of economic flow. Demacia can't look forward to this kind of thing." Lux nodded lightly and followed Ashe's footsteps.
Before the Skala Pass, the tribes of Severjord also expressed similar intentions."
"That's just right." Ashe's footsteps were obviously a little delayed, but she quickly continued to move forward with a smile, "This alliance can gather the tribes of Lakstak. If Her Majesty Laksanna can... gather them."
Silverjord is also fine."
Lux was a little surprised by Ashe's nice words.
Although this is only the stage of tentative greetings, and there is still a long way to go before establishing a new covenant, it is not difficult to see from Ashe's reaction that she seems to be willing to use the Nyuskara Pass as Lux currently wishes.
To this end, let’s discuss in detail the idea of dividing the Freljord’s sphere of influence from east to west.
This somewhat surprised Lux.
Although Ashe is not the kind of aggressive Freljord war mother, and although she voluntarily gave up the West Freljord subcontinent, she is so easy to talk to even in the trial stage...
I always feel like there's something going on here!
But even if Ai Xi has something else to do, at this welcome stage, the communication between the two parties can only be superficial.
In the evening of that day, a large-scale bonfire party was held in the city of Rakstak. Ashe, who had just held an alliance in Newskala and met most of the representatives of the West Freljord tribe, met again this time.
Representatives of many tribes in Rakstaq.
……………………
Although the productivity level is not as good as that of Demacia, and the Avarosa tribe's finances are far less generous than Demacia's, compared with the guild of Newskala, Ashe's upcoming guild in Larkstack is both large and small.
The level of grandeur far exceeds the former.
This shows that Ashe attaches great importance to this alliance.
Moreover, when Ashe personally introduced to Lux the war mothers and representatives of the tribes participating in the alliance, she was a little surprised to find that the Frostguard priest, representing the Frostguard tribe, also appeared among the representatives of the alliance.
middle.
How interesting!
Lux knows very well that Ashe has had nothing to deal with the Frost Guard since she rebuilt the Avarosa tribe. Now in this important alliance, the priests of the Frost Guard tribe are attending as representatives.
...Could it be that she plans to use this opportunity to reconcile with Shuangwei?
Well, it's not impossible.
Due to the previous assassination, Lux also gathered a lot of information about the Frostguard tribe. Although due to the long distance and poor information, and the fact that the Frostguard tribe itself is a bit mysterious, Lux did not get the exact information.
Not too much.
But one thing that can be confirmed is that the Frostguard tribe has great appeal in the entire Freljord. When the Avarosa tribe did not allow Frostguard priests to settle in, Ashe suffered a lot.
pressure.
If Ashe now thinks that she has established a firm foothold in Rakstak and wants to further expand her power, hoping to establish a good relationship with the Frostguard tribe and reduce resistance, this is obviously very feasible.
But considering the previous assassination, Ashe seems so enthusiastic. Is it because she wants to resolve the conflict and hopes to bridge the somewhat stiff relationship between Demacia and the Frostguard?
After the bonfire party, Lux did not take a rest immediately, but quickly summoned the intelligence team stationed in Luxtak - a lot of information could be transmitted in time, but there was also a lot of information that always required face-to-face communication to clarify.
Moreover, the main purpose of Lux's trip was not just to watch the ceremony, she also wanted to find out where the void in Freljord came from.
Don't forget, there is a small Malphite network traveling with her!
……………………
Lux left early, and Ashe had something to do and didn't party until the end.
But at the bonfire party, most of the representatives of other tribes and war mothers stayed, and seemed to be partying until dawn.
Nowadays, the Avarosa tribe has relaxed its prohibition on alcohol. At a party of this size, alcohol is provided in unlimited quantities. With this opportunity to drink happily, representatives of each tribe and even the War Mother Naturally
Impossible to let go.
They have nothing to do tomorrow, so they can take the opportunity to welcome Lux and get drunk tonight. This is not to be missed!
However, among the war mothers and tribal representatives who were drinking happily, there were two figures, one large and one small, who looked particularly cramped.
"Willump, are we really okay with this?"
"Uh-huh-"
"Although I am indeed a member of the Nuotai tribe, I am not a representative!" Nunu held a glass of Enuk milk and glanced at the man next to him who was wearing a large cloak and a mask, disguised as a silent figure.
Willump of the Prophet, "I always feel uncomfortable staying here..."
"Ugh!"
"Okay, okay, we did not lie, because they also welcome other ice travelers." Although Willump just hummed vaguely, Nunu clearly understood what he meant, "And
If we don’t take advantage of this opportunity, it will indeed be difficult for us to see Ai Xi..."
"Uh-huh!"
"But even now, it's hard for us to see Ashe!" Nunu took a sip of Enuk milk in the cup. "I saw the priest of the Frostguard tribe. Will she really believe what we say?"
"Uh-huh!"
"That's right, we have to trust her. She is the wise person Anivia said, and she is a hero who will definitely be praised in songs. We should believe her!"
Listening to what Nunu said, Willump's limbs and arms were ready to move, and he wanted to clap, but because of his identity disguise, his two arms, which were held behind his back to pretend to be a totem pole, could only be placed awkwardly in place, and he could only use the front.
His two hands gently patted his belly.
"But how can we talk to her? She's so busy." Nunu took another sip of milk. "So many people are looking at her and want to say a few words to her. She's afraid
I won’t stop for an ordinary ice traveler.”
After hearing this question, Willump also fell silent. He lowered his head and scratched his head gently. Obviously there was nothing he could do - the alliance was about to be held soon, and Ashe was at his busiest time.
Sometimes I want to talk to her and make her believe that she has brought Anivia. How easy is it?
"The ice traveler is not enough to stop Ashe." Nunu blinked, "But if there is someone with enough weight, can she take some time out?"
Willump also blinked, then nodded slightly, and then handed Nunu a small flag representing the Notai tribe.
"I'm not pretending to be a representative of the Notai tribe! Mom will be angry if she finds out!" Nunu snorted, "We can go find the person named Her Majesty Laxana!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Huh?"
"Didn't you hear? This bonfire party is held for her. Although I have never heard of her story before, she must be a very, very important person to Ai Xi!"
Willump nodded.
"So, if we can convince Her Majesty Laxana, we may have a chance to convince Ashe to help rescue Anivia!" Nunu drank all the milk in the cup, "Well, that's it.
It's settled, Willump, have you seen where Laxana Majesty has gone?"
Willump thought for a while, then pointed in a direction with great conviction.
"Yeah, I got it!" Seeing this, Nunu decisively walked in the opposite direction, "Since you said it was from the east, then she must have left from the west..."
Willump's eyes widened in grievance, and he resisted the movement of his arms behind his back. His hands in front of him moved excitedly, making gestures like seals - obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Nunu's prejudice against him.
How could I, Willump, the great Yeti Guardian, a remnant of the ancient Freljord race, be a road fool?
However, facing the aggrieved Willump, Nunu just shrugged and gently patted the flute on his waist, seemingly saying nothing.
Willump wilted - not long ago, Nunu's flute was stolen by a cunning stone beetle. Willump pointed to the direction where the stone beetle escaped, but a quarter of an hour later, Nunu came from
I found my flute in another direction.
That's right, Willump, the great Yeti guardian, a remnant of the ancient Freljord race, and Nunu's best travel companion, is actually a road fool.
