he came from the void

They had to leave Stonefist's body below in order to pass the news to the main keep, and Hara left an ax to freeze the body to prevent the erosion of the void.But when they climbed to the Bridge of Sorrow, there was still a monster chasing up from behind, which was a alien species born from the body of Stone Fist.

The remaining two were forced to fight the monster on the bridge. They fought bravely and cooperated to kill the monster, but Hara lacked an ax and was insufficient in combat power. erosion symptoms.

In order to prevent her body from becoming a breeding ground for monsters, she asked the recruits to cut off her hands, and then crawled all the way back to the main castle with her in a coma after losing too much blood, and reported the situation.

Afterwards, the entire Frostguard Fortress was put on emergency alert. Sentinels on the walls and in the city were dispatched to guard the main castle bridge. They monitored the abyss to prevent monsters from entering the main castle and causing panic.

"So, I feel right. It turns out that the strangeness we felt when we first entered the Frostguard Fortress was the throbbing of the watchers." Kai'Sa frowned. The news was really bad.

They have just discovered the weakness of the monitor, and they have not prepared anything yet, the monitor is about to break the seal.She began to fall into endless worries, do they still have that time to prepare?

"Has your matriarch found a solution?" Kahn asked.

"If the monitor wants to wake up... we need to wait until all the icicles are broken through. Before that, we can only strengthen the seal, but strengthening the seal requires the use of True Ice. The patriarch has sent people out to find someone who can make True Ice But..." Hara hesitated to speak, and sighed deeply.

"But what?" Kahn pressed.

"... To be honest, even the patriarch is helpless. I think there is little hope of finding Zhenbing."

After a brief chat with Hara, Kahn and Kai'Sa went upstairs with heavy hearts.The two sat by the fire, looked at each other, and were silent.

"I'm afraid this world is really running out of time." Kai'Sa looked at the dancing flames, and said suddenly: "And people don't know what destroyed their homes."

Kahn also knew that it was useless to say anything at this moment, and only actions could reverse the situation.

"Go talk to Lissandra tomorrow, if she can't come up with any ideas, we will do what we think."

Chapter 695 Poro Shepherd

Under severe anxiety, Kaisha lost sleep and tossed and turned in bed all night.

They waited like this until the evening of the next day, when they went to the audience hall.Sure enough, Lissandra was listening to the priests' reports in the hall.The two waited for a while, and entered the hall to talk to Lissandra after the meeting was over.

Lissandra sat upright on the throne, with a heavy hood covering her eyes, from which only her cold lips could be seen.

"Witch, I heard that the seal of the Hall of the Nine is loose? Is it true?" Kahn asked before coming to the steps.

"Yes."

"What's going on now?"

"The damaged part of the seal cannot be repaired, but it will take some time for the monitor to break through all nine icicles. I can't tell how long this time will be, but it has become restless in the dream, and may wake up at any time." Come."

The monitors are connected to each other, and if one of them wakes up, the others will wake up one after another.

"Then what can you do?" Kaisha asked.

"I've already said the method. If you want to strengthen the seal, you can only use Zhenbing. Either ask the ice crystal phoenix for help, or find ice and snow gems."

"Change the way of thinking, don't just think about sealing the Void Monitor, why can't we kill it?" Kahn said: "The weak point of the monitor is behind the pupil, as long as we can find a giant weapon that can go deep into that place , will kill him.”

"Are the Mortis stones big enough? But did they kill the Watcher again?" Lissandra said, the Watcher whose one eye was pierced by several Mortis stones is still alive.

"Why do stone thorns made of granite kill the monitor? It's like the thorn wall you erected on the abyss. Do you think a pile of stones can block the monitor?" Kahn retorted.

"We don't have such a weapon. The urgent thing to delay is to find a way to hold the watcher down before we have time to forge this weapon for us."

"Okay. You procrastinate as long as you can, and we will find a way." It's useless to say more, and Kahn left the audience hall. He knew that staying here would not be of any help to the matter.

"Where are we going now?" A confused Kai'Sa couldn't help asking after leaving the audience hall.

"Go and find the Ice Crystal Phoenix."

"Then do you know where she is?"

Kahn shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard that she appeared in front of the new leader of the Avarosa tribe—Warmother Ashe. Maybe she knows where Anivia is."

……

The two passed through the wormhole and came to the south from the north of the Freljord. The climate here is obviously much warmer, the ice and snow are no longer so cold, and it looks bright under the sunlight.

This is a land where grass can grow, and the ice and snow here will melt.It wasn't a sunny pasture, but it was as close to a pasture as the tribes of the Freljord knew.

Kahn turned over and climbed onto a rock. The snow on the ground had not completely melted, and the blue grass and the white snow were connected continuously, forming a boundary line that was not very obvious.He saw the herd of Ernuk scattered on the grass, using their noses to pierce the snow, digging out the grass roots that had quietly grown all winter from the frozen soil below, chewing slowly, the pregnant cows looked like very fertile.

"We've arrived. This is Avarosa's territory." Seeing the herd, Kahn told Kai'Sa with certainty.

Binding the herd to the Avarosa tribe might sound stereotypical, but it's not without reason.

The looters in the north disdain farming and grazing. They think farming, fishing and animal husbandry will only wear down people's will and turn people into weak prey.

They hunt powerful beasts and plunder the fruits of labor of the weak, believing that the strong deserve the best and the weak only deserve to survive under their kindness.

The cold north does not have the conditions for farming, fishery and animal husbandry, and the southerners only develop agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery according to local conditions. This land is already barren. If everyone plunders it, who will produce it?

But there is one thing that is not wrong, because the work is based on production, lack of fighting and struggle, and there are often many people who are not good at fighting in the tribes in the south.Once there is a battle between the tribes, they are all weak and lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The appearance of Ashe changed their destiny. This powerful and benevolent war mother did not despise their weakness, and protected many Fuhu tribes scattered all over the country, and thus became famous.

Abandoning the traditional way of enslaving those people, she chose to accept those desperate as full members of her new tribe.

She united the weak, and then used her influence to form alliances with many powerful and rich southern tribes, making the alliance she led a force to be reckoned with.

But now, the entire south is unified by Ashe, and only the southerners can graze, so it is normal for Kahn to bind the herd with Avarosa.

"There's someone there." Kai'Sa looked around, pointing to a gray-haired old man sitting on a rock in the distance. weirdo.

"Go and ask for directions." Kahn took a closer look. There was only one living person around, so he put away his skin armor, wrapped it in a fur coat, and walked towards the old man.

Hearing their footsteps, Lao Zhu turned his head and looked at them curiously, and Kahn was also observing him.

Although the old man had gray hair, he was tall and his arms were strong and powerful, thicker than his thighs.In the wilderness, but only holding a twisted cane in his hand, he is not afraid of encountering wolves or predators, which seems a bit bold for a skilled person.

And he was accompanied by a large group of poro, all of which were furry little guys with white fluff, they stayed on the snow and blended with the snow, and they couldn't be seen from a distance.

Kahn was so excited by this scene that he forgot his prepared lines.Just imagine, a macho looking after a group of cute creatures with kindness and kindness, the contrast is really too great.

"This is a Poro, haven't you seen it?" the old man said with a smile.

"I've seen it, but I haven't seen such a large group." Kahn replied awkwardly, feeling something pressing on his feet.

Looking down, a poro sticking out its tongue, rubbed against his feet like a dog, and lay on its back on his feet, showing the love on its belly, wagging its tail non-stop.

Kaisha knelt down and touched it, the snow-white fluff felt so good.She couldn't help laughing when she saw the little poro riding on top of the big poro like a stacked arhat.

"These little guys are so cute."

"Which tribe do you belong to?" the old man asked first.

Chapter 696 Meeting Annie Again

"Which tribe do you belong to?" the old man asked first.

Karn wasn't from any tribe, not even a Freljord.Regarding this question, he could only vaguely say: "Old man, we are from the north and want to seek refuge with Warmother Ashe, where can I find her?"

The old shepherd looked at them, but didn't answer. He lowered his head and turned his gaze to the poro, reaching out and stroking their hair gently.

Seeing this, Kahn had no choice but to leave.He didn't confess to the old man, and it was normal for the old man not to tell him the answer.

But he wanted to leave, but the group of Poro kept chasing and fighting around him, even grabbed his trousers, lay on his feet, and refused to let him leave.

The old shepherd laughed kindly: "They are hungry, and they are looking for what you want to eat."

"What do they eat?" Kahn took up the conversation. He had no experience in raising Poro, and he had never seen anyone raise one.It's strange that this creature's goofy appearance is so suitable for pets, but it hasn't become popular.

"Love." The old shepherd said with a smile.

"Love?" Kahn thought thoughtfully, thinking that the old man was playing some charades.

But after thinking about it for a while, he probably understood what the old shepherd meant.

The so-called "love" should refer to the taste, and he guessed that Poro like to eat food infused with the love of the maker.If he guessed correctly, this is a test. If he passed, the old shepherd should not make things difficult for them.

So Kahn turned his attention to Kai'Sa. There would be some emergency food in the package she was carrying, and there might be some snacks she treasured if nothing else happened.

Kaisha's first reaction was to hug her package tightly, but seeing these cute little guys with eyes full of expectations, she felt that it was worth making a little sacrifice.

"There aren't many things in it, so I have to find a time to increase the inventory." Kaisha took the opportunity to ask Kahn, confidently, and will return it to me after taking mine.

"It's easy to talk about." Kahn just wanted to pass this level first, those are small things.

She opened the package and asked Kahn to rummage through it. Apart from the frozen jerky and the candy that Kaisha would eat when she was in a bad mood, there was only a pack of biscuits that looked okay.These are some shelf-stable foods, and she should finish eating the ones that are not shelf-stable.

"Is this biscuit handmade?" Kahn asked, noticing that Kaisha was looking at him suspiciously, and realized that he had asked a stupid question.

There are no food processing factories in this world. Foods like biscuits can only be baked by people, and what he wants is handmade food.

Karn crushed the biscuits into small pieces and sprinkled them on the snow, and the poro crowd immediately ate them, licking the biscuit crumbs into their mouths with their tongues.

The two of them were all focused on the Poro, and suddenly they heard the old man say: "Keep going south, and you will see a large ice lake, where Warmother Ashe is camping."

"Lack Stark?"

"Yes."

Kahn nodded. The largest ice lake in the Freljord is Lax Stark, and the largest Avarosa ice sculpture stands there, which is a place of pilgrimage for Avarosa followers.

Trundle, the king of trolls, also mentioned this lake. He bragged to other trolls, saying that he drank too much water and pissed out of this lake, which also meant desecrating the sanctuary.

After leaving the ranch, Kahn and Kaisha continued to walk south.

The cry of ice eagles came from the sky, and Kahn remembered that the Avarosa people had a tradition of training eagles, so he couldn't help but look up a few more times.

They passed through several villages on the way. Unlike the migrating nomadic tribes or the raiders who set up camp with the army, the Freljord people in the south would choose to settle in suitable places and build houses to resist wild animals. Located by the river.

Obviously, their direction is not wrong. These rivers should all diverge from the glacial lake. As long as they follow the river, they can reach Lax Stark.

However, it wasn't all a peaceful scene for them along the way.They passed a devastated village, houses burned to the ground, charred bodies buried in the snow, eaten away by scavengers.

Fires can only be man-made.Obviously, the looters did not let go of the weak after the plunder, and they did everything they could to silence them all.

Those marauders despise Ashe's behavior in the company of the weak, and they will continue to provoke the iceborn warmother.

Kahn originally didn't intend to visit any villages and went straight to the topic, but when he passed a certain village, he suddenly felt a familiar aura appearing nearby.This breath is not void, but...

"I feel the Eternal Flame, our acquaintances are nearby." Karn said to Kai'Sa.

"Is it Annie? They're here? Jax might as well, after all he's running around the world."

"Go and see." With curiosity, the two approached the village.

Due to limited conditions, there were no walls or fences around the village, so Kahn and the others easily entered the village.Following the familiar scent, they came to a small stone house and hid in the cedar forest to observe secretly.

There was a rhythmic sound of tinkling, tinkling, tinkling iron from the inward direction of the house, and the owner of the house seemed to be a blacksmith.At the same time, there was little smoke in the chimney, and there was a flicker of fire in the dim window. This was the hostess cooking.

With this information, Kahn has a general understanding of the situation in the house, an ordinary family, possibly with children.

After a while, the wooden door of the hut suddenly opened, and several children ran out from inside.

They frolicked and played in the open space, chasing each other, playing the game of war, slamming Fang Qiu with the present in their hands, as if they were the kings who had conquered by themselves, and the toys in their hands were brave and good soldiers, defending the kingdom and fighting against evil .

Kaisha saw Annie wearing a red padded jacket and holding a doll in her hand at a glance.She didn't join the boys' games, and sat quietly on the steps of the door, observing the surrounding movement from time to time.On the other hand, Nunu played very excitedly with the other two little boys, yelling quite secondary passwords, without showing what was in his mind at all.

After the children played for a while, they heard the mistress of the house shouting: "Come back for dinner."

The sound of hammering irons stopped immediately, and several little boys rushed into the house anxiously, but Annie was the last to go in. Before closing the door, she poked her head around and forgot about it, as if she was looking for something, and her eyes swept over them for a while. Here it comes.

"Annie seems to sense us." Kasha asked, "Kan, what are we doing? Why are we hiding behind the tree?"

"Didn't you realize that Willump isn't here?" Kahn continued to stare at the window.

The window was opened, and Annie stood by the window with a bowl in her arms, looking out while eating.

he came from the void

Chapter 697 The Uninvited Guest

"Annie, what are you looking at?" A woman's voice came from inside the room.

"I seem to see someone I know." Annie replied.

"Let's have dinner first, and then go find it after we're done," the woman said again.

"Okay." Annie shrank her head back and went to eat quietly.

Seeing this, Kahn explained to Kaisha why they hid in the woods and observed secretly.

He didn't want to get in touch with the locals because he looked like a suspicious person. From the old shepherd's attitude towards them, the first reaction of the people here was to wonder if they were hostile tribes Come spies.

And it's hard for him to explain clearly. Frost Guard's reputation is not very good in the eyes of both southerners and northerners.

"Willump isn't here... where did it go?" Kaisha replied belatedly.
