Chapter 846 [0833] Reunion

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 The seriousness of the void problem in the Freljord is made very clear.

After all... the abundance of void creations in the bodies of carnivorous fishes probably means that there is something ulterior and terrifying hidden in the water of Lake Kelafos and 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 is in her heart and how tight her strings are, Lux still needs to keep smiling on the surface and not show it at all.

It is not easy to maintain this kind of attitude of having things on one's mind but no worries on the outside. Fortunately, performing two tasks at once is not too difficult for Lux, and no one can see the worry 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 full of expectation, waiting for hope.

At the foot of the statue, several people wearing Yukar woolen robes were carrying many unique tools and performing 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 take a little 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 song paint, Avarosa's messenger came to her.

"Your Majesty Laxana, ahead is Lax Stark." He spoke Demacian very fluently, but switched back to Freljord the next moment, "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 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. Although she is always smiling, As if she had gained a bit of self-confidence, 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 like old friends in different languages ​​- Lux's Demacian accent was smooth, Ashe's Fu Laeljor German is also fluent and clear. No translation is needed, and both parties can understand each other's meaning smoothly.

"Welcome to the ceremony." Ai Xi, as the host, took the initiative to pull Lux forward. "Take this opportunity to meet each tribe more. The northern trade also needs new partners."

"It's a blessing." Lux nodded lightly, "I've heard for a long time that the Luxtak Plain is extremely rich. It would be great if the local tribe could join the northern trade."

"Many war mothers have told me about this." Ashe showed a natural expression. "Everyone wants to join in. 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 thoughts.”

"That's perfect." Ashe's steps were obviously a little slow, but she smiled and continued to move forward, "This alliance can gather the tribes of Laxtak. If Her Majesty Laxana is okay... it's also okay to gather the tribes of the West Freljord."

Ashe's good talk surprised Lux ​​a little.

Although this was just a tentative greeting, and there was still a long way to go before a new covenant was made, it was not difficult to see from Ashe's reaction that she seemed willing to discuss in detail Lux's current idea of ​​dividing the Freljord's sphere of influence from the east to the west with the Neuskara Pass as the limit.

This surprised Lux ​​a little.

Although Ashe was not the kind of aggressive Freljord war mother, and although she took the initiative to give up the West Freljord subcontinent, she was so easy to talk to even in the trial stage...

I always feel that there is something going on!

But even if Ashe had something else to do, the communication between the two sides could only be superficial at this welcoming stage.

That evening, a large-scale bonfire party was held in the city of Rakstak. Ashe, who had just held a meeting in Neuskara and met with most of the representatives of the West Freljord tribes, met many tribal representatives in Rakstak again.

……………………

Although the productivity level is not as good as Demacia, and the finances of the Avarosa tribe are far less abundant than Demacia, compared with the meeting in Neuskara, the meeting that Ashe is about to hold in Rakstak is far larger and more grand than the former.

This shows that Ashe attaches great importance to this meeting.

Moreover, when Ashe personally introduced the war mothers and representatives of the tribes participating in the meeting to Lux, she was surprised to find that the Frostguard priests representing the Frostguard tribe also appeared among the representatives of the meeting.

How interesting!

Lux is very clear that Ashe has never been on good terms with the Frostguard since she rebuilt the Avarosa tribe. Now, the priests of the Frostguard tribe are present as representatives in this important meeting... Could it be that she intends to use this opportunity to reconcile with the Frostguard?

Well, it's not impossible.

Because of the assassination attempt before, Lux also made up a lot of information about the Frostguard tribe. Although due to the long distance, the news was not smooth, and the Frostguard tribe itself was a bit mysterious, Lux did not get much accurate information.

But one thing that can be confirmed is that the Frostguard tribe has great appeal in the entire Freljord. Ashe was under great pressure because the Avarosa tribe did not allow the Frostguard priests to settle in.

If Ashe now thinks that she has established a firm foothold in Rakstak and wants to further expand her power, she hopes to build a good relationship with the Frostguard tribe and reduce resistance. This is obviously very feasible.

But considering the previous assassination, Ashe looked so enthusiastic. Could it be that she wanted to resolve the conflict and bridge the somewhat stiff relationship between Demacia and Frostguard?

After the bonfire party, Lux did not rest immediately, but quickly summoned the intelligence team stationed in Rakstak - a lot of intelligence can be transmitted in time, but there is also a lot of intelligence that always needs face-to-face communication to figure out.

Moreover, the main purpose of Lux's trip is not just to watch the ceremony, she also wants to find out where the void of Freljord comes from.

Don't forget, there is also a small Malphite network with her!

……………………

Lux left early, and Ashe was also busy and did not revel to the end.

But at the bonfire party, most of the representatives and war mothers of other tribes stayed, as if they were going to revel until dawn.

Today, the Avarosa tribe has lifted the ban on alcohol, and at a party of this size, alcohol is not limited. In this case, representatives of various tribes and even war mothers will naturally not let go of the opportunity to drink to their heart's content.

They have nothing to do tomorrow, so they can take the opportunity of welcoming Lux tonight to get drunk. This cannot be missed!

However, among the war mothers and tribal representatives who were drinking happily, there were two figures, one big and one small, who looked particularly cramped.

"Willump, is this really okay for us?"

"Uh uh wuuuu——"

"Although I am indeed a Notai, I am not a representative!" Nunu took a cup of Enuk milk and glanced at Willump, who was wearing a large cloak and a mask beside him, disguised as a silent prophet, "I always feel uncomfortable staying here..."

"Uh ah!"

"Okay, okay, we did not lie, because they also welcome other ice travelers." Although Willump only hummed vaguely, Nunu clearly understood what he meant, "And if we don't take this opportunity, it will be difficult for us to see Ashe... …”

“Hmm!”

“But even now, it’s hard for us to see Ashe!” Nunu took a sip of the Enuk milk in the cup, “I saw the priestess of the Frostguard tribe. Will she really believe us?”

“Hmm!”

“Yes, we should have trust in her. She is the wise person that Anivia said. She is a hero who will definitely be praised by the song. We should believe in her!”

Hearing what Nunu said, Willump’s limbs and arms were eager to move and wanted to clap, but because of his disguise, the two arms behind his back pretending to be a totem pole could only be left awkwardly in place, and he could only use the two hands in front to gently pat his belly.

"But how can we talk to her? She is 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 is afraid I won’t stop for an ordinary ice traveler.”

Willump also fell silent after hearing this question. He lowered his head and scratched his head gently. Obviously there was nothing he could do - the alliance was about to be held, and Ashe was at his busiest time. When he wanted to talk to her and make her believe that he had brought Anivia, how easy was 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!"

"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 moment, then pointed in a direction with great conviction.

"Yeah, I got it!" Nunu saw this and walked decisively in the opposite direction. "Since you said it was from the east, 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 made gestures excitedly, 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, as if everything was in silence.

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.

Nunu makes a brilliant appearance!

I like this little guy so much.
