Lux's Farewell

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 develop and grow. 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 was 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 hopes to meet you through me - I am understanding that he wants to meet you. After thinking about the reasons, I felt that this might be important." Lux was very frank, "So, before everything starts, maybe we can listen to the Notai tribe telling stories?"

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 didn't show any stage fright. 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 this is true?
At this moment, Ai Xi's mind was completely messed up. The elegant dance on the three eggs could not be maintained as one egg was about to turn into a rotten egg. For her, the only good news now was that there was still time. There's enough time.

The Avarosan Tribe has not yet established formal ties with the Frostguard Tribe.

Anivia invited her for a trial. This might be an opportunity. During the trial, she would not only be able to contact this incarnation of cold wisdom, but also take the opportunity to re-plan the next path of the Avarosa tribe.

After taking the feather in 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 has brought the news about Anivia, I will naturally fulfill Anivia's promise." Ashe looked at Nunu with a smile, "Nunu stay and watch the ceremony and alliance, I promise to After joining the alliance, you will have your own caravan!"

Nunu's eyes widened.

Although he is the most critical transmitter of this matter and this information, compared to Ash, who is in a complicated mood, he is undoubtedly the purer one - for him, a story is a story, and telling a story is a caravan. That is also a very normal reward.

Nunu had previously thought about how Anivia would provide him with a caravan, but now it seemed that Ashe was the one to provide the reward.

Of course, this is very normal. After all, a trial hosted by Anivia is undoubtedly more precious than a caravan. Perhaps for many small tribes, a caravan is enough to drain their family wealth, but for Ava As far as the Rosa tribe is concerned, even Ashe can afford a fleet.

After excitedly high-fiving Willump, Nunu soon had a new happy worry. As mentioned before, traveling in a caravan would not rely on Nunu and Willump. One person is enough. Although Nunu has not yet had the idea of ​​"building his own tribe", he will indeed start to invite his friends next.Fortunately, since Lux is about to hold an alliance, there are quite a lot of ice travelers coming to Lux Stark City to eat and drink, and Nunu has a wide range of partners to choose from.

In this way, Nunu, who had completed her mission and received her reward, left the War Mother's tent, while Ashe looked at Lux.

"I'm very sorry that I was delayed a little by some Freljord matters." Although Ashe had complicated emotions in her heart, she looked indifferent on the surface. "Thank you very much for your help, Her Majesty Laxana. If it weren't for you If so, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be aware of such an important thing.”

However, just when Ashe thought that this matter could be temporarily overturned, Lux's response left her stunned.

"This is not just a matter of the Freljord." Lux waved her hand with a smile, "The threat of the void has always existed, and the Freljord is not the only place targeted by the void."

"what?"

Ai Xi, who had remained calm at first, finally couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this.

"Actually, minions of the void have existed or even exist in other places in Runeterra." Lux waved her hand to the accompanying clerk to take out a map, "In Ixtal, in Icathia, in Shark The sea of ​​​​people is eroded by the void, and it is never just the Freljord that needs to be united."

At this moment, Ai Xi's brain finally shut down. She looked at the place marked by Lux on the map, and then looked at Lux whose expression turned serious. She was a little speechless for a moment.

really?
Those twisted insect swarms under the abyss, are they really not limited to the Freljord?
"In fact, the void is another world, a world completely different from Runeterra."

Lux was very clear about the doubts in Ashe's heart at this time. After analyzing in detail the situation Ashe faced and the responses she made, she had already made a judgment on Ashe's choice - whether it was from Ashe's political ideals And 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 takes the overall situation into consideration.

For such a Freljord leader who can take the overall situation into consideration, as long as he starts from the threat of the void, Lux can completely control Ashe's choices to a certain extent.

After all...the threat of the void is real.

Seeing Ash's eyes becoming increasingly complicated, Lux turned to look at Kalya.

Dear Teacher Kalya, it’s time for you to appear!

Sensing Lux's eyes, Kalya nodded slightly, stood up on his own initiative, and came to Ashe - just waved his hand gently, and several vivid void insects appeared in front of Ashe.

There is no doubt that when it comes to hating and studying the void, no one in the entire Runeterra can surpass Kalja. And Kalja, who knows that knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles, is almost able to use magic to describe void insects. It has reached the point where the fake is mistaken for the real thing.

So, Ai Xi looked at the masked spellcaster blankly, and used the gravel that appeared from nowhere to show in front of him the appearance of terrifying bugs that he had seen and never seen before, and detailed them. It tells the story of their habits, weaknesses, origins, and evolutionary direction.

Because there were so many things that Kalya showed, and some of them were completely consistent with what Ashe had seen in the Howling Abyss, she was completely unable to question it.

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 for a complete solution to 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 will not 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.
