The friction between Winter's Claw and Avarosa has been going on for a long time, but originally the war mothers of both families were wise people, and they knew that a collision of their size would only hurt both sides, so they always kept in touch with each other.
Furthermore, Ashe and Sejuani were close friends since childhood. Although this relationship has long since faded away, it still exists.
But this year's situation is completely different from the past. Winter's Claw seems to be fighting for its life. It would be funny to say that it is really only for a few so-called gifted mages, but their external statement seems to be
Want to compete for resources.
Chai Anping and Lux found a small tribe after sunset and planned to stay overnight.
The small tribe was stationed in a sheltered canyon. Although resources were scarce, they did not need to worry about the impact of the cold.
This also allowed them to luckily escape the disastrous defeat of the Nanxia tribe.
Chai Anping exchanged two bags of meat for the welcome of this tribe. Under the reception of an old man, they learned that this tribe is called "Qianjie", which means "brave" in the ancient Freljord language.
There are only 20 or 30 men in this small tribe of 100 who can go out hunting, so all expenses are very difficult. If it were not for the superior terrain, it would be difficult for this small tribe to survive.
This kind of small tribe has always been enthusiastic about outsiders. The Freljord people don't pay attention to any hatred between the country and the family, and most of these small tribes have nothing to do with the world. If you can bring some goods they need, you can often gain their friendship.
.
What surprised Chai Anping even more was that he found a geothermal hot spring deep in the tribe after sweeping away his thoughts.
This is a precious resource in the snowfield!
But this was the lifeblood of the clan, and he had no shame in asking them to ask for Lux's bath. However, this also reminded him. After returning to the house arranged for them by the Ganjie tribe, he dug up the ground and cut another piece.
Use large ice cubes to melt into hot water for Lux to take a bath.
Lux, who had not been able to wash her body properly for a few days, did not hesitate and soon lay down in the pool and narrowed her eyes in comfort.
Chai Anping, on the other hand, did not want to be greedy for a while and let the girl relax for a while.
After setting up a security guard at his residence, he went alone to the War Mother's residence here. Interestingly, maybe because of the influence of the Three Sisters Cult, all the ice tribes chose to respect women as the main ones, even if they were just puppets and facades.
There will definitely be no shortage.
Of course, there are many tough women in this place...
Not necessarily weaker than men.
Qianjie's war mother was called Yevna. She was already a middle-aged woman with a big body and a round waist, which immediately changed Chai Anping's perception of the image of a war mother.
...There must be a handful of people with big breasts and perky butts like Ai Xi!
There is also an old man holding a bone staff in the War Mother's room, who is the only "Witch" in the tribe.
There were no tables and chairs in the simple room. The two of them sat on the floor, which was covered with various animal skins. On the wall were some pendants made of animal teeth and various primitive weapons.
In the center of the house, several dark stones burn quietly and release light and heat.
"Are you still used to guests from far away living here?" Yevna asked cheerfully.
"Thank you, Mother War, for taking me in."
Chai Anping smiled and cupped his hands, and after the two greeted him, he sat down next to the fire: "The people in your department are warm and kind, and we are very satisfied."
"That's good!"
Yevna laughed twice: "It's a pity that this year's winter is too cold and the food reserves are insufficient, so I can't hold a party for you."
The old Wu Zhu on the other side took the conversation, his voice was rich and mellow, making people feel close to him.
"Is the guest from the south?"
"Exactly."
Chai Anping replied: "I took my fiancée to visit the ice fields."
"..."
The old man gave him a thoughtful look: "Now is not a good time."
"What do you call this old gentleman?"
"Old witch dry."
Chai Anping raised his hand and said, "I know that the snowfield is now dangerous, so I dare to come here because I have confidence. Besides, I may also gain more experience."
"hehe."
Wu Gan smiled and did not continue the topic. He asked: "Since you are from the south, you must know something about the war that is about to happen or is happening in the south?"
Mentioning this, Yevna's eyes hardened a lot.
"There is nothing I can't say!"
Chai Anping said calmly: "The war has ended long ago."
"What?!"
The two of them were slightly shaken.
"Guests, don't try to deceive me." Wu Gan laughed and shook his head: "With a team of hundreds of thousands of people heading south, how can the war end so quickly?"
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. How can the old gentleman know how the battle is going? Does the wizard of Freljord still have the ability to predict the future?" Chai Anping shook his head, and his words were not very polite, but even though he was pretending at this time The identity also has its own confidence: "I also watched that battle from a distance. Even the frost dragon appeared and died on the battlefield. It is no longer a war that can be measured by ordinary people."
"Frost dragon?"
Chai Anping explained what happened in Hanfeng City with slight modifications, and both of them were stunned.
"There is such a strong person in Demacia..."
Wu Gan murmured to himself, looking rather sad.
"But this is a good thing, otherwise you Freljord tribesmen would have suffered and died countless times..."
"I am shortsighted. Thank you for bringing us the news."
After Wu Gan digested the news brought by Chai Anping, he laughed at himself: "Said to be Wu Zhu, the old man has only learned some superficial skills. He can only tinker with some medicinal herbs and pray for blessings. In essence, he is more like a village doctor, but If a real wizard really has the ability that our guest said, then maybe he will."
"Saving people and praying for blessings is a great merit." War Mother Yevna concluded as she closed the coffin.
Chai Anping already knew the details of witchcraft. If he were a real expert, he would not be reduced to such a small place to do witchcraft.
He nodded accordingly, and everyone carried the high sedan chair. If you don't lift it, it will be in vain.
He told the two of them this information in order to gain enough trust, and even if it didn't work out, he thought he could exchange it for some information.
After being in the Freljord for so many days, this was the first time he and Lux had met a living person, so naturally they didn't want to miss it.
"Is there something wrong with the guest coming here?" Yevna continued.
"Actually, I took my fiancée into the snowfield this time, not only because I was curious about the different customs and customs, but also because I had to go to the hinterland of Freljord for some personal matters. Who would have thought that the two war divisions would be like this this year."
Chai Anping smiled bitterly and said: "Although we have some means of self-protection, we are still worried about running into both sides of the war. In fact, I came here to visit you just to ask some questions, so as not to lose my sight and how to die. They don’t even know.”
"If the matter is not important, I advise you to wait until next spring to come back."
Yevna said cautiously: "The war will probably be over by then."
"If I could look back, I would have left with my fiancée long ago." Chai Anping said with some pain and sadness.
If Lux were here, I would definitely have to praise him for his superb acting skills.
