Chapter 871 [0868] What Is Lissandra Thinking?
When Eggnivia talked about Lissandra, the egg was obviously a little bit wrong - the words seemed to be regretful and helpless.
"Lissandra had a fight with Volibear and was blinded, but the ice also froze Volibear. Since then, the fact that gods can bleed and get injured has gradually become known to mortals." Anivia calmly recounted this past, "The Freljord people no longer worship the old gods, but Lissandra is the one who can't let go the most."
"When she came to me to study, she had wanted to learn about the matters related to the new life many times and inquire about everything when the Freljord was just born. At that time, she said it was because of curiosity, but I know that she has always been eager."
"Lissandra doesn't want the Freljord to worship the new life, but if there is a chance, she hopes to become a new life - I think it is for this reason that she has cooperated with those alien lives under the abyss."
At this point, Eggnivia paused her narration, as if to give Ashe and Lux some time to digest.
Ashe was still a little confused, but after Lux squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, she quickly realized the key to the problem.
"You mean, the birth of the Ice Bloodline, like the Ursine, Yeti, and Vastaya, is a mutation caused by the influence of the power that does not belong to Runeterra on the present world?"
"That's right." Eggnivia trembled slightly a few times, and seemed very satisfied with Lux's sharpness. "In the era when the first life was active, Runeterra was still in chaos, with different planes overlapping and various powers filling up. Life could freely choose and change its form. When Lissandra was born, only elemental life in Runeterra could change its form freely, but the power of the elements alone was not enough to shape a new tribe like the followers of the first life."
"So, Lissandra used the power of the void and the ice element to transform her followers?"
"The power under the abyss twisted the flesh and blood, making it able to accommodate the coldest True Ice." Eggnivia shuddered again, "This power has been passed down along the bloodline since then, which is the current Ice Bloodline."
Lux nodded thoughtfully, and Ashe on the side was stunned and shocked to the point of being speechless.
Ashe knew that the Ice Bloodline was the power of the three sisters.
But she didn't know that this power of the three sisters was actually obtained in this way, and she didn't know that behind the power of the three sisters was actually Lissandra's ambition to become the first life!
"Obviously, Lissandra underestimated the power from the abyss. She thought she could control everything, but when those beings called the Watchers came, she realized the seriousness of the problem." Eggnivia continued her story, "Lissandra, who was blinded by ambition, realized at this time that the power she introduced was not the same as the spirit world and the spiritual plane."
This kind of story of letting the wolf into the house is not the first time Lux has heard it - Karya once told her about the past of Icathia. At that time, the Icathians who tried to use the power of the void also thought that as long as they held the Eternal Flame, they could command the void.
What is the actual situation?
The reality is that the void itself has its own will. It is never satisfied, never dormant, and it desires to devour all material existence. Anyone who thinks he can control the void will eventually become a slave of the void.
And Lissandra is no exception.
"Later, Ornn dug up the Howling Abyss, and most of the first generation of ice blood participated in that battle - don't ask me about the specific process of the battle, I only remember that I was reborn very early, and in the end Avarosa and Serilda did not walk out of the abyss."
Lux and Ashe were silent.
"Not only did they not come out, most of the first generation of ice bloodlines also stayed there forever, and even almost all the snowmen died in the war. It was a truly tragic war, even more thrilling than the battle with Lund."
"Lissandra said that threats can make the Freljord people more united." Cracks appeared on the surface of Eggnivia, and a polar storm began to blow around the ice egg. "But in my opinion, she is on a wrong path that she can't control. She doesn't even realize that the frequency of my nirvana is gradually increasing, and she doesn't pay attention to the fact that the evil roaming on the great glacier is becoming more and more active!"
At this point, Eggnivia's voice gradually became high-pitched.
"She is sinking, sinking in the illusion that she thinks she controls everything. She is no longer the young man who can always come up with wild ideas. Now Lissandra also needs a nirvana, a complete innovation!"
As he spoke, the wind and snow blew violently, and Lux and Ashe saw a blizzard in front of them, and they couldn't see anything in the white.
"But, Lissandra won't be able to achieve Nirvana, right?" Ashe asked subconsciously in the snowstorm, "Will she also become an egg?"
At this moment, the snowstorm dissipated, and an ice phoenix with its head held high appeared in front of Lux and Ashe again.
"It's her problem that she can't achieve Nirvana." Anivia regained her elegance again, "And what you have to do is to send her to Nirvana."
……………………
Sending Lissandra to Nirvana is not an easy task.
But both Lux and Ashe are quite active in this matter.
Whether it is for the threat of the void or for the order of Freljord, Lissandra needs to be sent to Nirvana - as for whether she can be reborn, that is her own problem.
The previous story is just a prelude. Finding someone to challenge Lissandra is the core of Anivia's trial.
On the other hand, just when Lux and Ashe began to discuss with Anivia how to help Lissandra Nirvana, Lissandra finally walked out of her priest hall.
Because of the dream attack of Nocturne, Lissandra, who rashly jumped through the power of dreams, was seriously injured before. So after arranging to send assassins including Sylas to cause trouble for Lux and put eye drops on Ashe, she wrapped herself in heavy ice and slowly recovered herself.
For Lissandra, the cold frozen mausoleum is like a warm and comfortable placenta. Every time she leaves, she feels like a new life.
Lissandra, who learned from Anivia, could not achieve Nirvana, but for her, wrapping herself in ice, resting and then breaking out of the ice was a small Nirvana.
However, unlike before, Lissandra was not in a good condition after resting this time.
It seemed that her mental weakness was caused by Mordekaiser's attack. After this hibernation, the will of the watcher opened the gap in her dream.
Although Lissandra was very experienced in dealing with the will of the watcher, and she quickly repaired the gap in her dream after discovering the problem, the watcher did not cause her too much trouble in the end, but after resting, she clearly felt that she did not have the feeling of being reborn as before.
This made Lissandra feel quite unhappy.
However, what made her feel even more unhappy was that soon after, the Frostguard priests sent the news that "Avarosa refused the Frostguard tribe to participate in the alliance" and "the Rakstak alliance was successful".
This situation was completely beyond Lissandra's expectations.
In her opinion, Ashe, who had discovered the threat of the void, should be willing to abandon all the unpleasantness of the past and cooperate with her with all her strength. Since she had already seen the threat of the void, she was destined not to sit idly by!
As a self-proclaimed chess player, Lissandra hated the behavior of chess pieces acting on their own - no chess player could do that on her chessboard!
Lissandra, who was in a bad mood, asked the Frostguard priests to collect more information and prepare to set up a large net to completely surround the Avarosa tribe. For such disobedient chess pieces, she needed to teach them a lesson.
It was at this time that Lissandra received a piece of news that made her even more unhappy.
Long before the Rakstak League, Lux hosted a large-scale league in Newskara, and that league was quite successful.
Because Newskara was too far away from the Frostguard Fortress, and Lissandra had not deployed too many people here in the past, she finally knew the news until she woke up from hibernation.
When the content of Lux's oath with the tribal leaders was placed on her desk, a strong sense of uneasiness filled Lissandra's heart.
Although she lived in Frostguard Fortress for many years, in fact, with the help of the power of dreams, Lissandra has never been completely ignorant of places outside Freljord.
Even if Lissandra could not see through Lux's economic infiltration method at a glance, she could clearly realize that something was wrong.
This warm-blooded man was determined to reach out to Freljord!
This is intolerable!
In addition, Lux was invited to attend Ashe's alliance. The fact that a warm-blooded man and an ice-blooded traitor were hooking up with each other was already conclusive. In this case, Lissandra decided to strike hard!
The most direct and direct way is undoubtedly to start a war.
But obviously, that is not the best choice - the Frostguard tribe has played the role of arbitrator since ancient times. They never take the initiative to provoke a war, but take the initiative to calm down the war when it is fierce. This attitude is the main reason why the Frostguard priests can penetrate most tribes.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, Lissandra will not take the initiative to provoke a war, because even if the war is won, the Frostguard tribe will inevitably face rejection from other tribes in the future.
Everyone can use a neutral organization, but a neutral organization with its own attitude is not a neutral organization.
Therefore, Lissandra must find a pair of gloves for herself to teach the Avarosa tribe a lesson.
But because of the previous misjudgment and the eagerness to recuperate, Lissandra did not stop the Rakstak Alliance. In this case, it is not easy to find a force that opposes Ashe!
In the vast Freljord, the western subcontinent has been deeply influenced by Demacia, and the fertile land of the central Rakstak Plain has just held an alliance. If Lissandra really wants to pull out a team, then this team can only come from the mountains of the eastern Freljord.
The Freljord evil people living here are fierce, and many tribes make a living by simply looting. It is not a big problem for Lissandra to instigate them to cause trouble for the Avarosa tribe through hints and guidance.
The real problem is that after instigating, you have to win the fight.
As for these raiding tribes in East Freljord, it is okay to let them fight on a small scale, but once the number of people increases, these short-sighted people will become a pure mob - with a hundred people fighting, they will not be inferior to any team of the Avarosa tribe, but when the scale is expanded ten or a hundred times, these unorganized and undisciplined wastes will only end up as food.
Moreover, the Rakstak Plain is rich in products. With the arrival of the short and fertile summer, the Avarosa tribe will inevitably stockpile a lot of supplies. In contrast, even if the raiding tribes are organized into a large-scale coalition, logistics will become a big problem that drags them down - unless they can quickly break through the defense of Avarosa and enter the Rakstak Plain to plunder, otherwise they will be scattered in front of the pass city because of the long-term attack.
So, the question is, can these raiding tribes in East Freljord really attack the city?
Do they have any siege capabilities?
The answer is no - if Ashe hadn't been learning from the warmbloods in the south to build cities and sentry towers, the siege capabilities of the marauding tribes would be enough, but as cities (actually, they should be considered docks) were built one after another, the East Freljord tribes, whose siege capabilities had not been iterated, would probably be beaten to a pulp.
The camp can drive Yukal to break through and knock it open.
But facing the city wall, the marauding tribes' tricks don't work!
So, if you want to cause some trouble for the Avarosans... these marauding tribes may need some support.
Should the Frostguard priests and spellcasters be sent to provide support?
Shaking her head, when this idea just came into being, Lissandra denied it. The Frostguard priests must not move lightly, let alone at this time.
So, where should the support come from?
After walking a few steps in the priest hall, Lissandra's thoughts had sunk into dreams again. She wandered in the dreams of many people, looked around in countless bizarre things, and finally found a wonderful inspiration in a glimpse.
In the dream of a traveler who was lost on the Freljord Icefield, Lissandra found something very interesting - the divided Noxian Empire just passed in the south, and it seems to have repaired its relationship with Demacia recently and is actively seeking unification.
And the Delverhold, which borders Freljord and was renamed the Ironthorn Kingdom, seems to be the next target of the Noxians.
Since Ashe of Avarosa can become an ally of Laxana of Demacia.
It doesn't seem surprising that the Delverhold participated in the plunder war, right?
Kalya's small class·Noxus Unification War:
After repairing its relationship with Demacia, Noxus is preparing for war and actively seeking to restore its imperial status. Now, the loose Turkgul Federation has changed its flag under the threat of military force and restored its status as a Noxian autonomous region, while the Ironthorn Kingdom, which is a wing of the alliance, has become completely nervous.
