Chapter 732: Road 1 Heading North (?˙O˙)?
'...'
'Brothers, let's go, we will go south for a few days, and we will reach Frost Harbor, and we will be safe by then! '
'Ha ha! Not only is it safe, we also made a fortune this time! ! '
'Hush! Keep your voice down, you're crazy, don't be heard! '
'ah? Sorry, boss, I forgot again...'
‘Stop talking, hurry up and go, may the great Anivia bless us, bless the great Freljord...’
'yes……'
'yes! '
In the ice field of the Freljord, a group of traders are driving a small amount of livestock, returning south through the knee-deep snow, and judging from their appearance, they don't know why, and they don't seem too depressed ?
If you count the time...
Now that it happened on the frozen tundra of the Freljord, it was like destroying the world, and even completely disrupted the frost energy of the entire Freljord for a while. Several days have passed since the brief battle that caused the entire earth to tremble like an earthquake and caused many thousand-year-old snow-capped mountains to collapse. Pinshu.com
However, the demigod-level battle that took place on this harsh, cold, and extremely northern land has a far-reaching impact on the land of the Freljord...
Although apart from the two parties and a certain big bird who was beaten up, gained a new life and was grateful to Dade, and a group of traders who escaped from death, no one knows what happened at that time. things.
Whether it's the Avarosa Tribal Alliance led by Queen Ashe, or the Winter's Claw Covenant tribe led by Sejuani, the Wrath of the North, or the northernmost Frostguard Fortress and their leader, the frost and darkness The witch, the only surviving Lissandra of the three ancient sisters, all of them don't know what happened on the land of Freljord.
All they know now is that the entire continent was violently turbulent for a short period of time, and the frost energy of this extremely cold land also converged towards the south for a short period of time. It seems that there is a powerful existence that forcibly plundered The cold power on this land?
Then,
Soon everything gradually returned to calm,
That's all!
After all, on the vast frozen tundra of the Freljord, most of the land here is an uninhabited no-man's land. The harsh environment and small population have caused most of the Freljord People only gather in large numbers in a small number of places with suitable environments, such as the warm port west of Lax Stark in the holy land and the peninsula with prosperous trade? In other bad environments, there are only scattered tribes and plateau herdsmen of different sizes.
so,
No matter who it is, there is no way to completely monitor the entire northern border, whether it is Queen Ashe, Sejuani, Wrath of the North, or Lissandra, the Frost Witch, none of them can do it! Therefore, for more news, I am afraid that they will have to wait patiently for a longer period of time before they may learn from those who are lucky enough to witness everything?
That's right, those who were lucky enough to witness everything were those traders who were frightened many times, almost got hit by fish in the pond, and escaped from death many times.
Although, in that seemingly devastating battle, most of the goods of the group of traders were affected by the terrible battle between the demigod and the little girl and most of them were destroyed. A few livestock that got away with it and a few wrecked sledges with little cargo left...
However, in the end, they were grateful to Anivia and Avarosa for their blessings and gifts with joy and smiles on their faces, and they gave a wandering mage with a bald head and a powerful little girl two snowy cows as gifts. After riding, they happily accompanied each other and set foot on their respective homeward journeys.
And the reason why they were so grateful was not because they saw a big battle, or saw the rebirth of the patron saint Anivia, or because they saw the ice crystal phoenix that was reborn and became more beautiful Satisfied afterward, but because...
They picked up countless shards of pure ice on the battlefield, this is the key!
And Zhenbing...
It is a treasure countless times more valuable than gold, and it is a specialty of the frozen tundra continent of the Freljord!
In the entire world of Runeterra, whether it is in Demacia or Noxus, or even the nascent land of Ionia on the other side of the sea, as long as a small piece of pure ice, you can easily exchange for huge wealth!
Under normal circumstances, in the northern land of the Freljord, True Ice is mainly produced in the northernmost Frostguard Fortress and the extremely cold mountainous areas where the terrifying cannibal frost troll tribes are scattered, and the output is very small. A rare treasure!
This magical ice cube contains powerful ancient frost element power, it is harder than the best steel, and it will never melt (of course, this is relative...), even if placed in the hottest It is still chilling in the furnace! Therefore, even if it is only a part of the weapon made of pure ice, or embedded into the blade a little bit, it will be a powerful magic weapon that is enviable!
Perhaps it is because of this that they are so precious?
In the past, the residents of the northern border, whether they were the Avarosa, the Winter's Claw tribe, or the Frostguards in the north, generally regarded Zhenbing as a treasure, cherished it very much, and still cherished it. Think of them as a divine gift to the Freljord from the 'Three Sisters'...
But now, those traders agree that:
That was actually not a gift from the ancient "Three Sisters", but an ancient guardian of the Freljord, a gift from the powerful demigod Anivia to mortals like them!
Obviously, those extremely precious shards of pure ice must be the shards that were knocked off from the body of the ice crystal phoenix Anivia in that battle! And those remaining on the battlefield are enough for each of their merchants who survived the catastrophe to exchange enough inexhaustible wealth for them to enjoy in a lifetime in a country other than the Freljord! Let them no longer need to do business on this dangerous frozen tundra, braving the attacks of snow worms, frost troll tribes, bearmen or other dangerous ice creatures.
Therefore, although these traders lost almost all their goods and most of their livestock this time, compared to the loss, they got a huge return that others could not imagine!
And this is the real reason for their smiles and gratitude! In this Runeterra, not many people would have trouble with those shiny gold coins, even the simple, honest, warm and generous Northern Freljord people are no exception!
Especially those merchants, their pursuit of profit and gold coins is more urgent than the average Avarosa, otherwise, they would not take the risk of doing business on the harsh environment of the Freljord continent .
...
When the merchants were having difficulty returning, in the extremely cold mountainous area in the north, some people were still braving the wind and snow...
Two huge black-gray snowfield yaks marched hard on the ice field facing the huge wind and snow with one foot deep and the other shallow. Behind them, two long legs were left behind. Hoofprints... However, under the howling wind and the heavy snow that covered the sky and the sun, they hadn't been able to go far, and the footprints they left were quickly covered by the wind and snow and disappeared in the vast expanse. On the snow field.
The one on the left has a blue and white gorgeous mink fur-lined dress on its saddle, a mink fur snow cap of the same style on its head, and a plush toy bear in its arms, showing its A little girl with a ruddy face who kept exhaling hot air; and on the back of the other buffalo, in addition to a lot of salutations, sat a whole body wrapped in thick felt, only showing a Zhang is an old man with a blue-purple skin and a bald head, whose beard and eyelashes are covered with ice beads from the cold.
That's right!
The old man among them is the wandering mage Ryze who has a mission and needs to continue northward to the Freljord, and the other person is obviously a sloppy face who wants to follow him to join in the fun and has unknown intentions. Girl Annie!
In fact, it cannot be said that the intention is unclear...
Anne just wants to have a good look at the strange scenery in this world of Runeterra, stroll casually in this icy and snowy land, and then... by the way, find a chance to get those powerful monsters from the hands of a certain old thief. runes, and want to study and explore their rules and some kind of strange connection with this world of Runeterra?
Therefore, Annie, who also has a legitimate reason on her body, will not be polite to some bad old man at all. She just wants to join in the fun and see what he can do to her? Anyway, she doesn't need the other party to take care of things like eating, drinking, and even her own safety. She can follow as long as she wants, and go wherever she wants!
Whoosh~ whoosh~
The frosty and biting wind is still howling...
"..."
The wandering mage Ryze raised his head from the hood wrapped in felt with difficulty, squinting his eyes, letting the whistling of the violent blizzard constantly blow past his ears, and letting the large icy snowflakes drill into his chest hood, into his neck.
He needs to observe the environment and direction...
Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything...
Because, as far as the eye can see, there are tall snow-capped mountains and glaciers in the vast snowfield all around. If you look around, you can't see anything else ten steps away. Everything in front of you is nothing but white snow. Yes, it is still snow!
The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and the cold wind is getting stronger...
If he and a certain "extraordinary perseverance" little girl next to him were both powerful archmages, they would have already become two ice sculptures on the ice field.
Ruiz also saw that at this moment, not to mention the road ahead, he couldn't even tell whether it was up, down, left, or right, and whether the surroundings were mountains or cliffs, flat ground or downhill... He could only let the two snowy cows walk in front of them. The frozen tundra of the Freljord is walking hard on its own in this northern mountainous area covered with vast snow. Even if they have lost their way or taken the wrong path, Ryze can no longer judge.
Because the wind and snow is really too big...
At least, for him, a mage who is not a native of the Freljord, here in the northern border, especially when the mountains and mountains are getting closer and closer to the traditional sphere of influence of the Frost Guards. Well, the horror of this blizzard is something that an outsider like him cannot, and dare not imagine in advance.
"..."
Turning his head, he looked at a little princess from the gray order beside him, looked at the freak daughter born by the mystic Gregory Hastur and his wife, the shadow witch Amoline, and saw the other party's ruddy His face was still full of enthusiasm, he was not affected by the severe cold and snowstorm at all, and he even had time to stretch out his hands, splash the snow from the thick fur of the buffalo, and then build a snowman on the saddle? Afterwards, Ryze knew that some of his schemes had failed.
Prior to this, Ryze had tried to force the little girl to leave by herself through the blizzard and the severe cold environment of the Northland, so that the other party would not come and follow her idea, but it was in vain... So, seeing that there is really no way to use this kind of After forcing the other party with the indiscriminate moves, but tossing himself hard, he had no choice but to compromise, planning to find a place to rest and wait until the blizzard stopped before setting off.
"I can't..."
"The wind and snow are really too big, and our buffaloes are almost unable to hold on, Anne... Let's find a place to take shelter from the wind and snow first..."
Sighing, he looked at the buffalo under his crotch who was slowly burying his head in the snow against the cold wind and heavy snow, looked at the big mouthfuls of hot air that the other party spewed out from the big mouth of the cow's nose, and saw that even After this alpine snow-covered cattle that are good at surviving in extremely cold environments had an extremely difficult time moving forward, Ruiz just thought about it for a while, and finally decided to temporarily repair it to avoid the strong wind in the north. Snow.
Obviously, in the silent battle of wits and courage with the little girl next to him, he failed...
"oh!?"
∑(￣□￣;)
"But I think it's cool like this... Well, Ryze is strange... Grandpa, since you want to rest, let's rest, anyway, you have the final say!"
(lll￢ω￢)
Originally, Annie wanted to keep going until it was dark! Because she is really not afraid of the cold at all. After all, she can freely control the frosty flames that are even more ruthless than this weather. Therefore, in this kind of ice and snow, she is actually like being in flames.
Of course, such a bad old man must have never thought of such a thing, otherwise, the other party might not have had such outrageous thoughts just now, and wanted to force her away with the help of those wind and snow.
"Well……"
"Don't go, let's decide to stay here in this mountain depression, find some dry firewood to start a fire, and then get an arcane shield, let's rest for a night."
Feeling the bad weather in the Northland, knowing that he would definitely not be able to travel at night, and the weather would not turn sunny easily, Ryze lowered his head again, pondered and observed, and quickly made a decision.
In the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to find a cave. Besides, it is difficult to even walk in this desolate, icy and snowy place, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. Where can he go to find caves or tribes where he can rest?
Therefore, he felt that he could only use magic to spend the night in this mountain depression, in this place where he could avoid the wind... When the weather clears up tomorrow, they will continue to head north, striving to reach his goal as soon as possible land!
Because he remembered that it didn't seem too safe in this mountainous area?
"Going camping?"
??('???`)? ??
"Then let me do it today. I'm going to make a big polar bear igloo like I've seen on TV. It must be super warm and comfortable!"
(*?′╰╯`?)?
There is so much snow here, the ice is still so thick, and the weather is as cold as those arctic things on TV, so Annie thinks that she is like the one in the cartoon, shaving out chunks of ice, Wouldn't it be super fun to build a snow house?
Thinking about it seriously, it seems that she really rarely sees this kind of weather where the mountains are covered by heavy snow!
The place where Queen Anne grew up, the voodoo land has a tropical swampy climate, where there are many mosquitoes and insects, the rain is flowing, it is hot all year round, and it never snows much! And if she hadn't traveled to different worlds by herself, I'm afraid she hasn't even seen what snow looks like until now!
"..."
"What is TV?"
Of course Ryze knows about bears and igloos!
Because here in the northern mountains of the Freljord, there are many bear tribes! He had heard from those merchants that in order to fight against the frost trolls on the northern mountains, those bear tribes, they are now allied with Sejuani of Winter's Claw? Moreover, there is an incomparably powerful demigod bear named Volibear Thunder Roaring in the bear tribe?
So, he can understand polar bears and or igloos, but... he can't figure out what a 'television' is.
"A TV is just a TV. It is the same as the magic props or spells that transmit magic images, except that it uses electricity and is a technological item!"
╮(ˊ?????ˋ)╭
While explaining, Annie jumped off the cow and prepared to cast a spell.
Soon, she used her powerful magic power and extreme manipulation to forcibly pull out pieces of huge ice cubes that had been cut into squares from under the far away land, and then, with a wave of her hand, in the With the guidance and help of her mage's hand, they quickly flew over against the cold wind, and began to build up automatically on the flat mountain ground in front of them.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Huge and tough big ice bricks soon began to be piled up round after round in the high mountain valley of the Freljord... Their impact sounds, even in the howling cold wind around them. Extraordinarily harsh.
"So this is ah……"
When the other party's vague explanation was piled up, Ruiz nodded, stopped asking more questions, and began to wait patiently for the little girl to cast a spell, while also admiring the precise magic operation ability of the other party's magic.
He could see that the other party was not only stronger than him, but even in such a subtle way of casting spells, he was no worse than him, an old-fashioned archmage, which made him feel a little guilty...
"..."
"Cough! It's really too wasteful..."
Originally, Ryze wanted to say that he only needed to start a random fire, and then spread out a shield to prevent the wind, but who would have thought that this little girl would squander her magic power so recklessly... Although it is not impossible for him to do it himself So far, after all, such spells as cutting ice and mage's hand test the precise control of magic power and spells, and it must not be difficult for him, Ryze, the arcane master!
But……
He wasn't crazy, how could he waste so much of his precious mana just to build a snow house, stay for one night and then leave? Moreover, this igloo seems to be a bit big, with a hall and two bedrooms. Is it really necessary?
According to what Ryze said, at most, he could build an ice wall around him to avoid the wind. He has been running around in Runeterra for these years, and he has long been used to living in the wind and sleeping in the open.
"Don't worry! It will be fine soon!"
???(?)????
After finishing speaking, little Anne no longer cared about the ugly face of a certain old man next to her and the rambling words of the ramblings, and just continued to work happily in the whistling and piercing snowstorm, and continued to use magic Go build those fun big blocks with her.
It's been a long time since she played with building blocks. This time, she must build a big house!
"..."
well!
Ryze could tell that the other party was not building some snow house for a temporary stay overnight, but a small castle?
Because, after the little girl built a rough, two-bedroom, one-living room and successfully sealed and strengthened the big snow house, she didn't stop, but continued to build up, continued to build a second-story room, and even... …and made the castle spire, quickly sanded and decorated it, and even put a statue of a giant bear on top?
To be honest, he really just wanted to rest for a night before leaving. Why is this little girl addicted to this game now? I don't know, how will this little guy go about the next task?
Sure enough, Ryze himself is more used to being alone...
This is the only time, when the matter here in the Freljord is over, he will definitely get rid of this little girl and go to another place without bringing any entourage, let alone let a certain little girl Guys follow themselves!
I just hope that this eating mission will go smoothly and there will be no troubles...
'...'
'...'
However, what Ruiz didn't know was that when he watched a certain focused little girl busy and complained endlessly, on the other side of this col, in the snowdrift of a high mountain in the distance, there was lying on the ground. There are two strong figures, about two to three times the size of human beings, with blue skin, red hair, and blue eyes glowing with faint light, watching secretly. them?
However, because the distance was too far and the wind and snow were too heavy, he didn't notice the plateau creatures that were watching them.
Whoosh~whoosh~!
When little Annie is working hard to build her ice and snow castle, when a certain bearded and bald archmage waits patiently for the other party's mischief, and when some malicious snow mountain creatures in the distance are watching and harboring malicious intentions, the blizzard The whistling sound became louder...
"This Freljord weather..."
The whistling fierce wind, in addition to being mixed with the ice and snow from the sky and hitting it obliquely, made Ryze's skin feel stinging, and they even blew the top layer of floating snow on the ground directly like Dust flew up, making him unable to see the situation three or five steps away very clearly.
Sure enough, he, Ryze, doesn't like this icy and snowy continent...
But it's a pity that he, who has a mission on his shoulders, has no choice but to come for the sake of this world and the safety and survival of Runeterra!
"OK!"
?★, :*:?\\(￣▽￣)/?:*?°★*
"You're done! Grandpa Ryze, hurry up and come in, welcome to Lady Queen Anne's ice and snow castle!"
(*′▽｀)◇ゞ Come in!
In the icy and snowy land with howling wind and heavy snow, a castle made of huge ice crystals appeared in this mountain depression, and appeared in the eyes of the wandering mage Ryze who was a little surprised.
Moreover, he also saw that after the little girl pushed open the thick castle gate that was also condensed from solid ice, and gestured towards him to come in, the inside of that amazing ice and snow castle turned on automatically. A wall lamp composed of fiery red dancing flames was set up. Their light directly penetrated the thick ice crystal wall and reflected into the wind and snow outside. The orange wall and fiery red windows In addition, the icy blue spire, and even some places are refracted with colorful lights, making it look beautiful, like the residence of the fairies in fairy tale fairyland....
Moreover, what surprised him even more was that although this small ice and snow castle looked smooth and translucent on the outside, when he looked in from the outside, he couldn't see anything inside except for the rays of light coming out. Condition?
Ruiz remembered that when the little girl cut those ice cubes, they were all square and square. In this case, it shouldn't be impossible to see the inside!
"Hello!"
~(￣0￣)/
"What are you waiting for? If you don't come in, I'm going to close the door?"
|?ω?=)o
A little girl's small head in a blue and white sable fur hat was half protruding from the castle's icy gate, urging some bad old man who was still outside.
"By the way, I want to tell you something!"
?????
"Lead the buffaloes to the room on the left and let them stay there. You sleep in the empty room on the right. The big room upstairs is mine. Don't rush in, or my little bear will beat you. !"
(o゜▽゜)o☆
(…)
????? super fierce!
"..."
Ryze finally understood...
It turned out that those two small rooms were reserved for him...and his treatment as an arcane master was like two cows in the eyes of the little girl?
This is really...
cough! !
...
‘Gulu! '
'Snoring! quick! Go back and tell the troll king, we have something to eat tonight, it's a human mage! '
At this time, when the gate of the ice crystal castle in the distance was slowly closed, and when the two humans, one big and one small, and the two snowy cows entered the dreamlike castle, the mountains in the distance were originally in the snow. The lying monster stood up slowly, with an inexplicable grunt of excitement in its throat, and then quickly ran in the other direction at high speed, and soon disappeared in this snowstorm flying all over the sky.
