Lux's Farewell

Morgana obviously didn't know that Lux had no idea about the past of the Frostguard tribe and the history of the Frost Witch.

Morgana, who came here for verification, hoped to learn something about the real past of the Frost Witch from Lux, and then compare it with Kyle's story - because according to her judgment, Kyle did not He lied to himself, but the truth of the matter may not be what Kyle said.

In Kyle's story, the giants are merciful and merciful, and their attitude towards mortals can be called philanthropy. Even if the three sisters recklessly provoked them, the giants only punished these three people with non-fatal punishments to make them Know your mistakes.

For Kyle, this is a natural situation. They are the guides of civilization and will guide the direction of advancement for mortals as parents.

But in Morgana's view, Kyle's description can be said to be quite unreal.

According to her understanding, the giant gods have never shown any kindness or forgiveness to mortals. She has been walking in the mortal world for so many years, and countless people have prayed for help from the gods, but they have never received any response; in contrast, , those who are willing to show their compassionate side, even if some do it because of "the will of the gods", in the final analysis, it is just out of their own hearts.

There is nothing great about the gods, at least not in Demacia.

Especially after learning the whole story of the Battle of Badaopo and completely shattering the protoss filter, Morgana even had a vague view that could be called "treasonous".

Perhaps it is not God who guides man, but man who creates God?
The so-called giants may be just like the vastayas, beings with more primitive power.

It was precisely because of this vague suspicion that after learning the story of the Frost Witch from Kyle, she went directly to Lux and hoped to compare and confirm it from her side.

However, Morgana's idea, although a good one, failed at the first step.

Lux listened to her description quietly, and then said awkwardly, "This is also the first time I have heard of it. I have never known the past of the Frostguard tribe before."

Morgana, who was looking forward to understanding this history from a mortal perspective, was a little dumbfounded.

How could this be?
She clearly remembered that Fosbello had people who specialized in intelligence. Their intelligence capabilities were very strong!
Now that the Frost Witch's people have arrived in Forsbarrow, haven't they even figured out the origin of the Frost Witch?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Lux immediately made amends after hesitating for a moment.

Although the matter was a bit sudden and the information on our side was insufficient, the news brought by Your Excellency Morgana was still very important. I was very grateful to Yunyun, and Morgana confirmed that Lux really did not understand the Frostguard tribe. After passing by, I can only say helplessly, "If you find anything, you are welcome to share it."

Then, when Assan left with Morgana, Lux, who looked embarrassed one moment, clenched her fists and let out an excited cry the next.

Very good!
Now she doesn't know anything about the Frost Guard tribe or the Frost Witch, so she behaves quite passively when facing the Frost Guard envoys.

But now, with the information provided by Morgana, even if this information is distorted, it is still a good introduction and opportunity!
The Frostguard's reverence for the witch was visible to the naked eye.

Such a pious and serious person must not allow others to blaspheme the witch he longs for, right?

Perhaps, I can try to stimulate him in a relatively tactful way and then see his reaction?
By the way, I can also try to see if this Frost Witch is so magical. She can be in the mountains of East Freljord, but know everything about what is happening in Demacia thousands of miles away!

........................

Under Lux's arrangement, although the Frost Guard envoy's "identity has not yet been verified," he still received treatment as an "official diplomat."

She was invited to various diplomatic banquets and events.

As a Frost Guard priest, this messenger is not enthusiastic about these activities at all - although she claims to be a messenger, she only has respect for the frost witch in her heart. She is not interested in the stupid activities of these warm-blooded people. , it can be said that it is not attractive at all.

Therefore, even though participating in diplomatic activities was more in line with her status as an envoy, after arriving in Forsbarrow, she only lived alone in the diplomatic apartment, eating simple vegetarian meals three meals a day, and would not leave the room unless necessary.

This situation was somewhat beyond Lux's expectations. The other party's autistic attitude was really inconvenient for communication and intelligence gathering. In order to allow her to come out, Lux thought about it and finally found an excuse.

The excuse came from Noxus - Noxus and East Freljord are bordering each other, so Lux simply said, "The Noxus envoy knows the news about East Freljord better, and I hope the Frostguard envoy Talk to him and see if anything can be gained."

This is a quite clear hint, suggesting that she is not completely sure of the identity of the Frostguard envoy, so she hopes that she can talk to the Noxians and confirm the reliability of her identity through Noxus.

This kind of identity verification through a third party is not uncommon. Runeterra is very large. When the two forces are not bordering each other, if you want to establish a basis of trust, using a third party is a good choice.

To this end, Lux specially invited the Noxian diplomatic ambassador to Demacia to Forsbarrow. This diplomat who was deeply trusted by Darius was once a member of the Noxian Northern Legion. As a civilian in the military, he and Darius are colleagues.

However, when Lux prepared everything and waited for the Frostguard Messenger to meet with the Noxians, the Frostguard Herald refused this "meaningless meeting."

"My coming is only for the will of Your Excellency the Frost Witch." Faced with Lux's urging, the Frost Guard envoy did not make any excuses, "I am not a diplomatic envoy as you warm-blooded people know, and don't use this kind of Stupid way to restrain me."

Typical undiplomatic rhetoric.

Seeing that the Frost Guard envoy still looked cold, after thinking about it, Lux finally decided that she might as well not act according to diplomatic etiquette - so she directly expressed that she could not trust the other party and hoped that the other party and Noxa Meet and verify.

"With just one person and one mouth, I cannot confirm that this is the will of the three sisters."

This time, the Frost Guard messenger finally did not refuse.

........................

Since Noxus is now working hard to "restore the glory of the empire" and annex those divided parts piece by piece, Demacia's attitude is now crucial to them.

If Demacia insists on interfering, then with the current situation in Noxus, the road to reunification will be far away.Therefore, the Noxian ambassador who was in the capital and had just been urgently transferred to Forsbarrow, although he was tired from traveling all the way, he acted very quickly - even though as a Noxian ambassador, this mission was for He worked hard in Demacia, but he still worked hard without complaint, just hoping to gain Demacia's favor as much as possible.

After hearing that Lady Laxana needed him to verify the identity of an East Freljord envoy, the ambassador was obliged to prepare a very complete set of verification methods, striving to show the Noxian style at the same time. , successfully completed this verification.

The Noxian ambassador has not had direct contact with the Frostguard tribe, because even in East Freljord, the Frostguard tribe is a very mysterious existence.

But unlike Lux, who knows almost nothing about the Frostguard tribe except for its name, Noxus still knows a lot about the legends of the Frostguard tribe, and among the tribes Noxus has dealt with, Shao has a Frost Guard priest, so even if he has never really dealt with the Frost Guard tribe, he is still confident in distinguishing the authenticity of a Frost Guard envoy.

Of course, in addition to testing, he also prepared some content that contained misleading and provocative content. If possible, he would see if it could create a stumbling block for the Demacians' northern trade.

Demacia has already made a lot of money from the northern trade. If it wants to influence the Freljord barbarians in the north of Noxus through the Freljord, it will be troublesome!
When you can't be tough, you start from the most practical point of view and try to gain benefits for Noxus as much as possible. This can be said to be a very typical Noxian diplomatic style.

Under Lux's arrangement, the meeting place between the Noxian ambassador and the Frostguard envoy was set at the Forsbarrow Theater.

After all, this is an "unofficial" diplomatic event. Watching an opera to complete the meeting is a common means of communication in Valoran.

The Noxian ambassador was fully prepared and memorized more than five plans. He controlled the arrival time very accurately and entered the box a quarter of an hour early.

A quarter of an hour can give both parties a simple, preliminary communication opportunity. After a quarter of an hour, the opera begins, and both parties can use the excuse of appreciating art to enter a natural "intermission" for sorting out and thinking.

In order to be fully prepared, the Noxian ambassador also learned about the play he was going to perform in - it was a play called "The Long Twilight Song", which seemed to be related to the local beliefs of Demacia.

Very good, there are the Frostguard Messenger and the Noxian Ambassador in the box, the play is related to Demacia, it is a perfect communication occasion, you can advance or retreat.

It fully complies with Valoran's established diplomatic requirements.

However, what the Noxian ambassador never expected was that even though he was well prepared, the Frost Guard ambassador arrived at the box on time.

After meeting, this woman with an eye patch and a cold face nodded gently towards him, and then she sat in the front seat of the box so quietly, like a piece of solid ice, and her eyes fell not far away. on the stage.

The Noxian ambassador felt the embarrassment Lux had experienced before - was this guy really a diplomatic envoy?
When he was in the Northern Army of Noxus, he had not seen the envoys of the Freljord tribe before. In his impression, the envoys of the Freljord tribe were usually served by their oldest people. , in the harsh environment of Freljord, the old people who can survive are all experienced and wise people, and they often represent the heritage of a tribe.

Although the etiquette on both sides is different, according to the Noxian ambassador's experience, it is not difficult to deal with those people.

But the "Frost Guard Messenger" in front of him was different.

Although she was here, her whole person was not much different from an ice sculpture. She came in and just said hello, and then looked at the stage, as if she really came to watch an opera.

In desperation, the Noxian ambassador could only take the initiative to speak, hoping to find a way to communicate with the other party through dialogue.

He has good ideas.

But it is a pity that the Frostguard envoy has no desire to communicate. He is extremely cold and cold from beginning to end. He pretends that he has not heard all the hints of the Noxian ambassador and will only use the simplest words to answer his direct questions.

The Noxian ambassador said, "I heard that there was a lot of snow in East Freljord last year, and many tribes claimed that even the Howling Abyss was covered in snow." The Frostguard emissary would say nothing.

The words fell to the ground, and the other party had no intention of talking. In this case, Noxus could only ask directly: "Did it snow so heavily in East Freljord last year that I could not even cry?" Is the abyss covered with snow?”

This time, the Frost Guard messenger finally nodded.

"Yes, there is a lot of snow, but the Howling Abyss cannot be filled."

It can be said that this is the first time in his life that the Noxian ambassador has seen such an autistic messenger.

Even though he had prepared a wealth of response plans in advance, when he actually faced the "Frost Guard Messenger", the Noxian ambassador still had a very difficult time communicating, trying to turn some suggestive language into something that would not fall into place. Directly asking people the truth... This can be considered a novel diplomatic experience.

However, just as the Noxian ambassador was using this method to seek his answers bit by bit, outlining the overall image of the solid ice in front of him, and asking questions, the Frost Guard envoy suddenly stood up.

The Noxian ambassador, who had no idea what was going on, felt that the temperature in the box dropped sharply, and even before he took a breath, floating snowflakes appeared in front of him.

The Frost Guard envoy activated her ice bloodline, and from her feet, a streak of frost spread at an alarming speed, heading straight for the stage.

"This is shameful blasphemy!" The Frost Guard messenger lost his previous calmness and shouted loudly, "Despicable warm-blooded people, you are blaspheming the great Frost Witch!"

The screams and magic caused a burst of chaos, and stunned the Noxian ambassador in the box who had no idea what was going on.

Then, before he could figure out what was going on, the frost of the Frost Guardian had spread to the stage. Above the stage, a blizzard seemed to be taking shape, about to turn into the power of destructive frost, sweeping away the people on the stage. everything.

Why is the Frostguard so angry?
the reason is simple.

This play, called "The Long Twilight Song," tells the story of Kyle's version of the past of the three sisters. (End of chapter)
