Legends of Runeterra

"Eh? Li En, why did you come out? Is it because of the snoring that you can't sleep? All you need to do is make two balls of wool and stuff them into your ears, and I guarantee you will sleep till dawn!"

Li En had just come out of the tent, and Dole, who had previously agreed to add some secret-made large intestine to Olaf's meal, suddenly walked out from the darkness.

"It's okay, the snoring doesn't bother me. I came out mainly to enjoy the night view of Freljord. This is my first time in this land."

"You have a warm and comfortable tent but you have to go out into the freezing snow instead. I really don't understand the thoughts of you warm-blooded people..."

Dor grumbled and complained.

"Okay, remember not to walk too far. Although the snow isn't heavy now and the starlight is nice tonight, you might get lost if you're not careful. It only takes a few moments for this land to freeze over for you warm-blooded people."

"Okay, I'll pay attention, Doll. Thanks for the reminder."

"Well, go ahead. If anything happens, call for help immediately."

Before leaving, Dor added again that although Li En was what they called a 'warm-blooded man', which was the name given to all outsiders by the Freljord people.

But Li En's drinking capacity, which was acknowledged by Olaf himself, as well as his straightforwardness, his willingness to listen carefully to anyone's bragging and his ability to show just the right amount of support, quickly won the initial recognition of all the Winter Claw warriors.

"No problem, I remember it."

Nodding to Dor, Li En put on his cloak and walked towards the rock wall where a few snowflakes were still falling.

Walking out of the rock wall, the snoring in the tent quietly disappeared.

Looking up, my sight passed through the cold snowflakes, and the night sky was clearer and more peaceful than ever before.

The white ground covered with thick snow reflects the starlight in the clear night sky.

Looking around, everything was shrouded in a faint and cold light and was clearly visible.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

With every step, the thick snow made a crisp sound, which spread far away in the silent night.

After admiring the snow scene for a while, Li En walked straight in one direction.

"Hmm? This is... the direction of the bristle..."

Dor, hiding in the dark, looked at the direction Li En left, hesitated for a moment, and did not show up to stop him.

Although it is hard to believe, the warriors of this tribe discovered that Li En was not afraid of the giant beast Steel Mane at all, and Steel Mane was surprisingly not hostile towards Li En.

You know, in the tribe, Bristle doesn't give face to anyone except Sejuani.

Steel Mane must have played an important role in the awe that her tribe members and people in the surrounding areas have for Sejuani.

Li En was able to treat this giant beast with a normal mind, which was one of the reasons why everyone was able to initially recognize it.

...

A relatively flat snowfield suddenly gave rise to a small hill with two bare and twisted tree trunks.

Li En walked step by step to the side of the hill on specially made snowshoes.

There were no secret sentries of the Winter Claw here, so Li En took out a bag of fresh fruits from the magic pocket in his arms.

"Chi~!"

Two streams of hot steam suddenly spurted out from the hill, along with the flying snowflakes like sand, and a pig's nose suddenly appeared.

"Good evening, Steel Bristle, would you like some midnight snack?"

“Lulu~!”

Steel Mane purred a few times and opened his mouth impatiently.

Li En did not feed the fruits one by one, but simply turned the bag upside down and poured all the fruits into Steel Mane's mouth.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

“Lulu~!”

"Haha~! You're welcome."

Lee En scratched Steelmane's chin and stared into the giant beast's icy blue eyes.

next moment.

"Whoo~~!"

In the snowy space, a giant beast, whose shoulder height was only higher than that of the cedar forest outside, lay quietly on the ground.

In those same ice-blue eyes, there was no sense of ignorance like that of Steel Mane, but instead there was a sense of tranquility and wisdom that came from having seen everything in the world.

"Hello, respected strange demigod, my name is Li En."

"Haha~! Hello Mr. Li En, you can just call me Bo Er.

Compared to my brothers and sisters, I am just a beast spirit that is about to dissipate, and I don't deserve your name."

"Well...then I'll call you Mr. Burr."

"of course can."

"Mr. Burr, I wonder why you want me here?"

“It’s nothing serious. I just suddenly discovered that such a powerful person came to Freljord, so I wanted to meet you.

My wisdom is limited to this place, so I have to invite you here."

"Well, Mr. Burr, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, but as a primitive beast spirit, why would you..."

"Hahaha~! It doesn't matter. This is not a secret. Although I am also an original beast spirit, I am not like our most powerful brothers and sisters who have obtained the recognition of the 'Origin'.

Beings like us rely more on the faith and offerings of human beings in order to get rid of the interference of "animality" and maintain our own "sanity".

Now that I have lost my faith, this is the only way I can avoid being controlled by the ‘beast’.”

"I see...."

Li En nodded, digesting the information revealed by Burr.

"When my body was about to transform into a beast, I was loaded onto a Noxian ship. Later, when I was about to use up my little strength to get out, it was Sejuani who rescued me.

So from then on, I fought alongside her under the name of Steelmane.

While repaying her kindness, as the legend of her achievements spreads across this land, I, who fought alongside her, can also gain a small but continuous amount of faith power."

"Um... these things... is it convenient for me to know?"

"Of course, please forgive me for being rude, but your soul is clearer and more transparent than the night sky tonight.

Mr. Li En, you are definitely not a bad person. "

"Okay...thank you."

"By the way, Li En, although it may be a bit presumptuous, Sejuani has the purest ice blood flowing in her body, which is the power from the three ancient frost sisters.

Although she appears cold and stern on the surface, she is actually very soft and warm inside. If you are willing..."

"Ah...Mr. Burr, this is really a bit sudden. Whether it's me or her, I think it's better to understand this matter better."

"Okay Lee En."

“Hulu~Hulu~!”

Burr snored tiredly a few times.

"I'm sorry, Li En. My strength is limited. I can only talk to you here for now."

"Okay, take a rest first. It's been a pleasure chatting with you."

"Yes, me too."

"Hoo~!"

Ice and snow blocked his vision, and the next moment, Li En returned to the real world.

“Lululu~Lululu~!”

Steel Mane nudged Li En lightly with his nose.

"Okay, another bag then."

“Lululu~Lululu~!”

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Looking at Steel Mane chewing the fruit happily, Li En sighed quietly in his heart, but soon Li En figured it out.

The environment in Freljord is too harsh, and only the strong can survive in this land.

Li En's own strength combined with Sejuani's bloodline will inevitably give birth to a super strong bloodline. No wonder Olaf and the beast spirit Bor, who know his strength, are so eager to bring the two together.
