Chapter 816 [0804] The Wind of Destiny in the North
Fate is always unpredictable.
No one could have imagined that Lissandra's attempt on Fosbyro and Demacia would lead to so many unexpected consequences.
The ancient Yodel awakened from the ice, the Yeti felt the call of the tribe in the dream, and the little hero embarked on the road to find Anivia...
If we look at it in the long term, it may also mean a change in Demacia's attitude towards Freljord, Kalya's self-transformation of the small world, and even a change in Noxus's northern strategy, and so on.
As the initiator of everything, at this moment, Lissandra had to curl up in the depths of her Frostguard Fortress and quietly lick the wounds severely injured by the demon.
Even if she had withdrawn her will in time, her soul was still severely damaged. She would never be willing to try it again, as if her whole body was torn apart.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Anivia's rebirth and the suppression of the restless watchers to free up my hands to deal with the growing Avarosa tribe and cut off the warmblood allies behind them, but I didn't expect that this move would result in me no longer being able to directly intervene in the situation in Freljord in a short period of time, which can be said to be stealing a chicken and losing a rice.
Considering that Ashe has gained another wave of reputation in this Howling Abyss crisis, I am afraid she will soon come up with the idea of hosting the Freljord Alliance in Raksstark.
Compared with other war mothers, Ashe's biggest advantage is that the tribe she leads is called Avarosa, which is the orthodox inheritance of the three sisters-this orthodoxy is useless when Avarosa is weak, but when the tribe becomes increasingly powerful with Ashe's management and the transfusion of northern trade, the name of Avarosa will bring Ashe endless benefits.
There is no doubt that Lissandra does not want to see a tribe called Avarosa preside over a large-scale alliance in the former holy city of Rakstak in Freljord. Considering Ashe's consistent attitude, it may shake the authority of the Frostguard tribe in Freljord.
Once the authority of the Frostguard tribe is shaken, the history hidden under the ice may surface one day, and along with that history, the watchers that Lissandra is extremely afraid of and worried about may also revive.
In Freljord, everyone believes that the three sisters are the origin of everything. They nurtured civilization, led the Freljord people out of ignorance, and passed down their power in the form of blood. From then on, the ice blood became the power passed down from generation to generation by the Freljord people.
However, Lissandra herself knows that the source of the power of the ice blood is not herself. If it comes down to it, this power may be traced back to an ancient watcher who is lurking under the abyss and is now immersed in dreams, using illusory dreams to fill his hunger.
This power was a gift from them to the three sisters, but at the last moment, the three sisters chose to fight back in order to prevent Freljord from being completely swallowed up. After paying a huge sacrifice, they sealed it firmly under the Howling Abyss with dreams and True Ice.
That was a history intertwined with fearlessness, sacrifice, courage, wisdom, deception and betrayal. In that history that has long been without any written records, what role Lissandra played was now only clear to her.
Therefore, she could not let the situation in Freljord get out of control, and could not allow an heir of Avarosa to become the co-lord of the Rakstak Plains, let alone allow her to take a close approach to the warm-blooded people to let Freljord take another path.
The Watcher is never satisfied. Without absolute control over Freljord, Lissandra would not be able to drive those Frostguard warriors to the abyss and sacrifice like their predecessors.
Unfortunately, at this time, Lissandra no longer has the ability to take action herself.
All she could do was to arrange everything to suppress Ashe before freezing herself in the mausoleum to heal herself.
So, the question is, who and what can suppress Ashe and prevent her from holding an alliance in Rakstak?
After thinking for a long time, Lissandra finally decided to summon a special guest.
Or... a prisoner.
……………………
In more than 40 years of Silas's life, more than half of the time was spent in prison.
When he was a young man, he was thrown into the forbidden magic prison because of a magic out of control accident.
It was a dark period of time. He had reflected on his past countless times and reflected on the choices of himself and his parents until he realized that as a spellcaster, he naturally stood on the opposite side of Demacia.
He was thrown into the forbidden magic prison because of magic out of control, but the nobles could use all kinds of magical items in their manors without paying any price-in addition to magic, there is another insurmountable division in Demacia.
Realizing this, Silas began to hate this country, a country that advocated justice on the surface, but naturally divided people into different classes based on talent and birth.
In Silas's opinion, since Demacia could not achieve the general justice that he advocated, why should he hypocritically regard magic as evil?
In the final analysis, everything was just the fear of the nobles!
In the dark Forbidden Magic Prison, while enduring the absorption of the Forbidden Magic Stone, Silas was looking for a way to leave until he met the little girl named Ino.
Silas thought that she was a person who shared the same fate with him. She had good talent and was used by the nobles, and then thrown into the Forbidden Magic Prison like garbage. As her "neighbor", Silas wanted to recruit her as soon as possible.
But what Silas never expected was that Ino had a noble friend, who once again broke the justice of Demacia and rescued Ino from prison.
Even the noble refuted his words righteously and shamelessly admitted his identity as a mage.
Ridiculous, how ridiculous!
Later... that was three years later, right?
Seizing the only opportunity, Silas broke the walls of the Xiongdu, liberated countless imprisoned mages, and led them to freedom-until Galio fell from the sky.
When the statue of justice landed on the magnificent square, Silas was almost desperate.
When Galio's heavy punch fell, he used up his last strength, absorbed the magic power of a comrade beside him, called on the power of the wind, and rushed out of the encirclement - for the man's final surprise and disbelief, Sylas' heart was full of apologies, but he had no choice.
Only he could truly save the mages of Demacia, and this was a necessary sacrifice.
All the way, he was displaced and worked hard.
Chased by the blue hyenas, Sylas finally passed through a glacial crack in the Dragonspine Mountains and entered Freljord, and became a member of the Winter Claw. Here, he put on the clothes of the Freljord and began to speak the language of the Freljord people.
Even though the northerners have always hated the Freljord's plundering, Sylas still insisted on cooperating with Sejuani and led the Winter Claw army to raid Mithril City.
The Lost who cooperated with the Winter Claw destroyed the Demacian dam, and the raging water flooded the farmland that had been cultivated with great effort. Silas, who was born in Biangou Town, knew very well what kind of destruction this was, but he also knew that all this was a necessary sacrifice to change Demacia.
The surging water defended the Silver City, and Garen, who was known as the power of Demacia, was vulnerable in front of him. Silas almost realized his revenge on Demacia, and at this critical moment, a beam of light shone on the Silver City.
The Colossus of Justice fell from the sky again, and the unprepared Freljord army was sandwiched on both sides and completely collapsed.
Sejuani met the brilliant light in the air, but was cut off by a sword and fell into the cold lake.
Realizing that the subsequent Northern Legion would intercept him on the way back, Silas followed the direction of Sejuani and dived into the water.
But he did not find Sejuani.
Silas didn't know where Sejuani had gone, he only knew that his revenge had completely failed.
Silas wandered for a long time, and finally chose to set foot on the road to Freljord again - perhaps, his dream of revenge could only be realized by the snow in Freljord.
Silas, who came to Freljord again, had sought the power of the Lost, but after trying to contact the Lost, he found that he seemed to be completely unable to bear the wild power in their bodies.
Rather than saying that the Lost used thunder magic, it is better to say that they borrowed the power of the Fearless Thunder, which even Silas had almost no ability to control.
Compared with the power of the Lost, Silas felt that the magic of the Ice Bloodline was more efficient to control.
So he began to look for the traces of the Frost Guard priests.
It is not a difficult thing to find the Frost Guard priests and steal their power.
The Frostguard priests, who were used to being the only spellcasters in Freljord, had never been on guard, especially when Sylas' hair gradually turned silver and his appearance looked closer and closer to that of the Frostguard priests. Those Frostguard priests who met him for the first time would never have thought that this fellow with a strange accent was actually a Demacian who coveted their magic.
By stealing magic along the way, Sylas's use of frost magic became more and more mature. Under the tempering of the difficult environment, his own magic became more and more powerful. In this white world of ice and snow, he had already entered the extraordinary realm and truly had the qualifications to push the gears of fate!
However, before Sylas began to plan his revenge again, Lissandra's eyes fell on him.
There are many Frostguard priests in Freljord. They either wander in the plains or stay in the tribe at the foot of the mountain. They follow Lissandra's will and fulfill their duties as ice blood.
Although Silas had attacked many Frostguard priests, accidents could happen at any time in Freljord, and even Frostguard priests could die in a ridiculous disaster, so he did not attract any attention at the beginning.
However, when he became a transcendent, everything was different.
As a frost witch, Lissandra noticed this different "ice bloodline" at the first time, so she sent an envoy to take Silas to the Frostguard Fortress.
She wanted to "meet" Silas in person.
However, what no one expected was that after meeting Lissandra, the daring Silas was planning how to steal Lissandra's terrifying magic.
In Silas's opinion, he had stolen the magic of many Frost Guard priests along the way. Although their magic and blood were special, they were not too difficult to control. As their leader, Lissandra's magic was not completely impossible to steal!
Moreover, Silas had inquired in advance that "this generation of Lissandra" had just inherited the position of Frost Witch. At this time, the terrifying magic in her body must have been inherited from the previous generation through some means.
Isn't this a gift from God to himself?
So, when meeting Lissandra alone, Silas took the initiative to approach, and when he pretended to crawl on the ground to salute, he touched the hem of Lissandra's skirt that was like flowing ice.
Taking this opportunity, Silas activated his talent and began to absorb Lissandra's magic frantically!
The next moment, a force wilder than the Loser unreasonably surged into Silas' body. He didn't even have time to have any thoughts of joy, and he was completely frozen from the inside out.
This is not the end.
In a trance, Silas felt that although his body was still frozen, his consciousness gradually woke up.
But before he could feel lucky, the Frost Witch came like a dream. She took everything from Silas in an irresistible and unrebellious manner, and then contemptuously threw him into a prison like a garbage dump. The last scene Silas saw was countless weird ice sculptures of the living dead around him, just like himself.
After that, Silas lost consciousness. He seemed to be awake all the time, but not completely awake. He was always in a half-sleep and half-wake state, as if he was dreaming, but as if there was no dream at all.
He could feel the passage of time and the changes, and he could always see the ice sculptures around him, but none of this was recorded in his memory.
Or perhaps, his memory was swallowed up impatiently when it was created.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Silas woke up with a blank mind, and a young frost guard priest stood in front of him.
"Follow me." The other party's voice was extremely cold, as if it was pure ice that had never melted for thousands of years, "The witch wants to see you."
There are many stories about Silas in about four or five hundred chapters.
