Chapter 851 [0848] Stacked Eggs
If you evaluate Ashe from a tribal perspective, there is no doubt that she is a great war mother.
Ashe rebuilt the Avarosa tribe and led the tribe to grow and develop. From a small tribe that could only gain a foothold in Frostport on the edge of the West Freljord subcontinent, it grew and grew step by step until it became the leader of Rakstak. Plains, capture the city of Lakstaq.
But from Ashe's perspective, all this is far from enough.
Perhaps at first, she only wanted to revive Avarosa, but as more and more people chose to follow her footsteps, the burden on Ashe's shoulders became heavier and heavier.
This sense of responsibility is the driving force for Ai Xi to get to where she is today, and it is also the burden for her to continue moving forward.
If Ashe was an ordinary war mother, she would be satisfied with the current state of the Avarosa tribe and run her business with peace of mind, but obviously, she would not be interested in anything because the tribe has now established a foothold in Rakstak. Relax, especially after she was involved in the conflict with the void and saw the terrifying beings under the Howling Abyss.
She sees further and sees more.
It is precisely because of her longer-term vision that Ashe has more ideals than ordinary war mothers.
The experience of rebuilding the Avarosa tribe from scratch gave Ashe the confidence and confidence. Unlike those guys who just shouted slogans, Ashe was serious about uniting all the Freljord tribes. .
Also under the guise of inheriting the will of the three sisters, the gap between what Ashe did and what Sejuani did back then is simply the same as the relationship between Black of Nasramei and Azir of Shurima City. The gap on "Restore Shurima" is just as wide.
Political ideals can be clearly seen - from the beginning, Lux was very sure that Ashe was the same person as herself in many aspects.
Or to be more specific, she's a "version of herself that lacks Kalya's teaching skills."
It was precisely because she knew this that after Lux figured out Ashe's trump card through a large amount of intelligence analysis, she was full of confidence in the upcoming formal meeting.
Lux believes that she will get everything she wants from Ashe.
……………………
The next day, Lux looked in high spirits without sleeping.
Instead, after taking a short break, the intelligence team finished their work and went back to catch up on their sleep. The short sleep that was dragged into the dreamland could last for a while, but it couldn't last for a long time.
Also in high spirits was Nunu. His heart was big enough, even if it was related to his future caravan. But he still slept very well last night, with no sign of insomnia at all. He came to see him early in the morning. Lux, looking forward to her introduction to meet Ashe.
Of course Lux would not refuse.
After all, she and Ai Xi had planned to have preliminary communication today, so bringing Nunu was the right thing to do.
When Lux saw Ashe, Her Excellency War Mother seemed to be in good spirits and in high spirits - obviously, she was also an energetic person, even though she had been very busy recently due to too much work. Extreme, but as long as you take a short rest, you can recover soon.
The meeting place between the two parties was at Ashe's War Mother's tent, and there were not many people accompanying him, so the little guy Nunu seemed quite noticeable. After a brief exchange of greetings, Ashe naturally asked about his identity - —It seems like I have seen this little guy before?
"His name is Nunu, he is from the Nuotai tribe. This is his partner Willump. I brought him here mainly because Nunu found me and hoped to meet you through me - I am understanding that he wants to meet you. "After that, I felt that this might be important." Lux said very frankly, "So, before everything starts, maybe we can listen to the story of the Notai people?"
It's true that Ash is busy.
But no matter how busy she was, she still spent a lot of time preparing for the meeting with Lux.
The relationship with Demacia was one of Ashe's three eggs. No matter how busy she was, she would not give up this little face. So, she looked at Nunu with a smile and expressed her love gently. expect.
Even though he was facing a lot of big shots from Demacia and Avarosa, Nunu was not afraid of the stage at all. He started from seeing the ice phoenix spread its wings and told in detail what he saw during his journey to the Howling Abyss. What he heard, and the stories Anivia told him.
Of course, Nunu gave a detailed explanation of the part where Anivia invited Ashe to the trial, and even the reward Anivia gave him was not missed.
As Nunu told the story, Ashe, who was still smiling at first, soon stopped laughing.
The story Nunu told is really terrible. If all this is true, then I am afraid that many of Ashe's previous plans will have to be completely scrapped and restarted - especially the part about the Frostguard tribe.
Ashe previously believed that the Frostguard tribe was the guardian of the Freljord, and that it was the sacrifices of generations of frost witches that protected the Freljord.
But if those monsters beneath the Howling Abyss were caused by Lissandra...
This is simply too scary to think about!
Because this matter is so important, Nunu's Notai identity cannot be used as evidence, but Anivia has obviously thought of this a long time ago. After Nunu finished telling the story, he directly revealed Anivia's identity. Via's feathers - when this translucent feather was placed in front of Ashe, she had to start thinking based on the version told by Nunu.
Could it be that all of this is true?
At this moment, Ashe's mind was completely confused. The graceful dance on the three eggs could not be maintained as one egg was about to become a rotten egg. For her, the only good news now was that there was still time.
The Avarosa tribe had not yet established formal contact with the Frostguard tribe.
Anivia invited her to take the trial, which might be an opportunity. In the trial, she could not only contact this incarnation of cold wisdom, but also take the opportunity to replan the next path of the Avarosa tribe.
Taking the feather from Nunu's hand, Ashe's brain was working rapidly. When she carefully put away the feather and raised her head again, a confident and calm smile appeared on her face again.
"Since Nunu brought the news of Anivia, I will naturally fulfill Anivia's promise." Ashe looked at Nunu with a smile, "Nunu, stay and watch the meeting. I promise that after the meeting, you will have your own caravan!"
Nunu's eyes widened.
Although he is the most critical messenger of this matter and this information, he is undoubtedly the purer one compared to the complicated Ashe - for him, a story is a story, and telling a story in exchange for a caravan is a very normal reward.
Before, Nunu had thought about how Anivia would provide him with a caravan, but now it seems that the reward is paid by Ashe.
Of course, this is very normal. After all, compared to a caravan, a trial hosted by Anivia is undoubtedly more precious. Maybe for many small tribes, a caravan is enough to empty their family funds, but for the Avarosa tribe, Ashe can afford a caravan.
After excitedly high-fiving Willump, Nunu soon had a new happy trouble. As mentioned before, it is not enough for Nunu and Willump to travel in a caravan. Although Nunu has not yet come up with the idea of "establishing his own tribe", he will indeed start inviting his partners next.
Fortunately, since Lux was about to hold a meeting, there were quite a few ice travelers coming to the city of Laxtak to eat and drink, so Nunu had a wide range of partners to choose from.
In this way, Nunu, who had completed his mission and received his reward, left the War Mother's tent, and Ashe looked at Lux.
"I'm very sorry, because of some things in Freljord, I was delayed for a while." Although Ashe had mixed emotions in her heart, she looked calm on the surface, "Thank you very much for the help of Her Majesty Luxana. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have realized such an important thing."
However, just when Ashe thought that this matter could be temporarily turned over, Lux's response stunned her.
"This is not just a matter of Freljord." Lux waved her hand with a smile, "The threat of the Void has always existed, and Freljord is not the only place targeted by the Void."
"Ah?"
Ashe, who had been calm, finally couldn't help but widen her eyes after hearing this.
"In fact, the minions of the Void have existed and are still existing in other parts of Runeterra." Lux waved her hand to signal the accompanying clerk to take out a map. "In Ixtal, in Icathia, and in the Sea of Mermen, there is the erosion of the Void. It is not just the Freljord that needs to unite."
At this moment, Ashe's brain finally crashed. She looked at the place marked by Lux on the map, and then looked at Lux, whose expression turned serious. For a moment, she was a little speechless.
Really?
The twisted swarms under the abyss really exist not only in the Freljord?
"In fact, the void is another world, a world completely different from Runeland."
Lux was very clear about Ashe's doubts at this time. After analyzing the situation Ashe faced and the response she made in detail, she had already made a judgment on Ashe's choice - whether from Ashe's political ideals or from her willingness to join forces with the Frostguard tribe because of the threat of the void, it is not difficult to see that she is a person who truly considers the overall situation.
And for such a Freljord leader who can consider the overall situation, as long as she starts from the threat of the void, Lux can completely manipulate Ashe's choice to a certain extent.
After all... the threat of the void is real.
Seeing Ashe's eyes becoming more and more complicated, Lux turned to look at Kalya.
Dear teacher Kalya, it's time for you to appear!
Noticing Lux's eyes, Kalya nodded gently, stood up on her own initiative, and came to Ashe - just waved her hand gently, and several vivid void worms appeared in front of Ashe.
There is no doubt that when it comes to hatred and research on the void, no one in the entire Runeland can match Karya. Karya, who knows the truth that knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles, has almost reached the point of being able to describe the void worms with magic.
So, Ashe stared blankly at this masked spellcaster, who used sand and gravel that appeared from nowhere to show her the appearance of one terrifying worm after another that she had seen and had not seen before, and also described their habits, weaknesses, origins, and evolutionary directions in detail.
Because Karya showed so many things, and some of them were completely consistent with what Ashe had seen in the Howling Abyss, she could not question it at all.
If it was made up, then Ashe really couldn't figure out how Kalya made up the appearance of the bugs under the Howling Abyss, and also made a lot of "extended editing", and described it without thinking, allowing himself to discover Not a single loophole.
During Kalya's narration, even if Ashe raised some questions with a critical attitude, Kalja would not hesitate in answering.
In a daze, Ai Xi even felt that he was not facing a person, but an old man from the Notai tribe who came from ancient times and recorded all the information about those strange insects. In Ai Xi's knowledge, there were only those Only the Nuotai people who usually only use their eyes and ears to record everything and turn all information into songs and pass them on can have such detailed knowledge.
Ash didn't want to believe everything Kalya said.
But at this moment, the situation before her was such that she had no way not to believe it.
Ai Xi could stubbornly close his eyes and express that everything Kalya said was nonsense and a far-fetched fantasy.
But as someone who has personally experienced battles with void creatures and has been preparing to completely solve this problem in the future, Ashe cannot deceive herself.
Especially when Nunu had just sent information about the Trial of Anivia not long ago.
Ai Xi has never been a traditional person, and she has no fondness for Frostguard priests. She prefers to believe what she sees and hears rather than traditions and customs.
As for what she saw and heard, what Lux, Nunu and Kalya showed was enough to win her trust.
When Kalya finished her story and Huang Sha quietly disappeared, Ai Xi did not speak immediately, but fell into a long silence.
She needs to make a decision, and currently, it seems that this decision may be quite difficult for both Ashe herself and the Avarosa tribe.
Dancing on three eggs is not easy.
But what's even more difficult is that two of these three eggs seem to be broken.
The followers behind Ashe seemed to have their own ideas, but before they spoke, Tryndamere, who was standing next to Ashe, glanced over with a sharp gaze like a long knife.
So, everyone honestly shut their mouths.
Tryndamere gently placed his right hand on Ashe's back.
After a long time, Ai Xi seemed to have finally made a decision.
"Perhaps after the alliance, I will go to the Great Glacier." She raised her head, and when she looked at Lux, a smile appeared on her face again, "I hope the respected Anivia won't mind if I take a Guests from afar.”
Kalya’s little classroom·Zhan’s mother follows:
In Freljord, the traditional decision-makers of a tribe should be the War Mother and the War Mother Blood Covenant - but because Ashe has too few blood covenants, and they are not responsible for intellectual responsibility, she promoted many of her followers to participate in the tribe. decision making,
In many cases, Ash would be happy to listen to their suggestions.
It's just that on many key issues, the personal followers can't get in the way - like now.
