Chapter 509 A Wild and Extremely Cold Place
Gangplank's execution was held as scheduled, without any twists and turns like in the original world line.
Carrying the hatred of her parents being killed, Sarah pulled the trigger with her own hands, and used the pistol they had built for Gangplank but was attempted to snatch away by him, and finally broke in anger, to know the life of her enemy with her own hands.
Ten years later, the great revenge was avenged, but Sarah only felt endless emptiness and restlessness, and could not even enjoy the fun of holding a banquet and carnival.
The whole night, she sat by the window sill of her room, holding a glass of wine in her hand, looking at the crescent moon in the sky in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Lin did not attend the banquet held by Sarah to persuade him to stay, and returned to Piltover.
The next day, he rushed to Freljord without stopping, the last destination of his trip.
There was only the last week left before the League of Legends meeting at the War College, and he didn't want to stop.
If it weren't for the fact that ordinary people still had to rest, he would have wanted to go to the north overnight.
The location where Li Lin teleported was the Rakstak area, an icy lake in the middle of Freljord. It was also the new capital where the Avarosa tribe lived all year round.
In the center of the harsh climate of the North, there is the largest freshwater glacial lake in the entire Freljord.
However, compared to the Ornkar Rock Land, where Avarosa once gathered in the north, the climate in Laxtaq is much more normal.
Many herdsmen graze their cattle on the ice field grasslands south of the ice lake. Many others abandon the tradition of raiding and begin to cultivate fields and plant crops that can adapt to the severe cold.
The Avarosa tribe, under the leadership of Warmother Ashe, unites many tribes in the southern valleys and upholds the concept of peace, which happens to conflict with the philosophy of Warmother Sejuani of Winter's Claw, another large tribe.
Although the two were good sisters who talked about everything when they were young, now they are enemies who must fight to the death.
At least that's the case for Sejuani.
It's already November, and the climate in the Freljord has already begun to be harsh.
The annual harvest season has passed, and the fertile fields are covered with ice and snow.
The Freljord's favorite docile Enuk cattle and curly horned goats have long since disappeared from the ice sheet.
They have long been moved back to the tribe and kept in captivity in fences.
If there were no attacks from Winter's Claws or other tribal bandits, Avarosa and the local sheltered people would easily survive the cold winter.
Li Lin stood on the top of the mountain on the west side, looking at the towns and settlements in the distance that were as small as black dots. The only thing visible was a huge statue of Avarosa with an iceberg on its back and a hand holding a glowing ice.
The Avarosans built a several-meter-high city wall of ice and stone in Lakstaq, which was taller than any other tribe. It was mainly to prevent the southward attack of Winter's Claw.
The anti-gravity device lifted Li Lin and the armor, and then the pulse thrusters sprayed flames, allowing him to reach outside the city wall of Rakstark in a short time.
"stop!"
A warrior on the city wall noticed the sudden appearance of a stranger below and immediately tightened his bowstring.
But before Li Lin could introduce himself, another older man next to him quickly stopped him.
"Stop, this is not an enemy." Then, he turned his eyes to Li Lin, "Are you the guest Li Lin that Zhan Mother mentioned?"
"Genuine goods." Li Lin responded in Freljordian language.
In this wild land, strength is valued. In order not to be hostile to some people in the tribe, he deliberately changed into animal skin-style clothes, revealing his strong arms and chest.
The two people on the city wall were stunned, completely unaware of what was happening.
"You, you are not afraid of the cold...are you a shaman or an iceborn?" The man who just drew his bow and was alert said in shock.
"That's Mrs. Piltover!"
The other strong man was obviously more educated than the stupid young man next to him, and he had also heard of Piltover's name.
"Hurry and report to War Mother that Li Lin is here!"
After sending away the young people around him, the strong man on the city wall apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't have the authority to open the city gate for you."
Li Lin gave him a kind smile, "This is your duty to protect the tribe, I understand."
The strong man was obviously relieved and began to chat with Li Lin, but he mainly asked about things outside the ice field.
Li Lin could tell that he seemed to be yearning for the outside world.
More than ten minutes later, as the muffled sound of horns sounded in the city, the heavy double city gates were slowly pushed open.
A group of Avarosan people in various attires poured out from the city gate. Most of them wrapped themselves tightly in leather armor made of animal skins, with the exception of a few scantily clad men and women.
They are ice descendants who are not afraid of severe cold. They are the magical bloodline inherited from ancient times. They have been connected with the magic of this wild land since they were born.
Some of them are extremely talented and can master the magical ice created by the demigod Anivia, which is fatal to normal people.
But Li Lin knew very well that these ice descendants were all the result of the void touching the world.
The Frost Witch Lissandra made a deal with the Void Watcher to exchange Runeterra for powerful power, and this is the origin of the Ice Bloodline.
Li Lin quickly withdrew his gaze and focused on the leading man and woman.
Among them was a woman with flowing white hair, wearing a navy blue hooded dress with gold stitching and a white cloth belt around her waist. Almost half of her skin was exposed to the ice and snow.
Especially the Zhenbing longbow behind her, which was completely made of Zhenbing and emitted azure blue light, was even more eye-catching.
She is Ashe, the war mother of the Avarosa tribe.
Standing next to her, wearing a pointed helmet, with gray-white hair hanging casually behind her, with her upper body naked, and only wearing a half shoulder pad on her left arm, and a silver-gray arm guard on her left arm, is her only blood ally, Teda of the Mountain Clan. Mir.
"Welcome, Li Lin of Piltover!" Ashe said with a smile on her face.
Ai Xi still welcomed a foreigner who promised to provide them with supplies and provide free crop seeds that could withstand the severe cold.
The price you pay is just to join what he calls the "League of Legends".
Tryndamere said nothing.
Although he is the only blood alliance of the War Mother, that is, the married couple, he has the power to govern the tribe.
But Freljord is a matriarchal society, and men's status is inferior to that of women who can give birth.
When War Mother is in the tribe, she still has full authority to handle all matters.
"May the Three Ice Sisters protect you, War Mother Ai Xi."
Li Lin did not bow to salute. The Freljord did not know such etiquette, and doing so would only embarrass both parties.
"the same as you."
As soon as Ai Xi turned his head, the people from various tribes behind him moved out of the way in a tacit understanding.
Since following War Mother Avarosa to the southern valley a few years ago, almost everyone has been able to fill their stomachs during the cold winter, proving that their original choice was right.
Now Ashe has a high reputation throughout the Freljord. It can be said that she responds to every call, and many desperate tribes will choose to take refuge in her.
"Please come in quickly and let's go to the hall to talk in detail."
