Chapter 98: Mother Zhan is looking for a husband!
(Please subscribe)
The freezing cold sea water hits the eastern coast of Freljord, and countless icicles collide with each other in the sea, making crisp tinkling sounds.
Landing on the east coast of the Freljord continent, Zuo Chi looked around and saw endless ice and snow.
Ten thousand years ago, in order to cool his furnace, Ornn, the god of fire and forging, dug a ditch across half the continent in the center of Freljord. This ditch led directly to the Ice Sea in the north of Freljord.
After the ditch was built, Ornn's sister, the Seal Sister, led the water from the Sea of Frozen into the ditch for Ornn, crossing half the continent to cool down the furnace. At that time, the sea level of the Sea of Frozen in the north of Runeterra dropped by several meters.
The sea water collided with the blazing earth fire, and a large amount of water vapor rose into the sky of Freljord. From then on, an endless heavy snow fell on this continent.
When he met Braum in Bilgewater before, Braum told Zuo Chi that Freljord was about to have the coldest winter in its history.
Now it seems that the climate here is indeed extremely bad.
In such an environment, if humans want to survive successfully, in addition to a strong physique, the existence of a tribe is crucial.
A strong tribe is really the most important thing in Freljord, because with a tribe, the chances of successful hunting will be greatly increased, and the ability to resist foreign enemies will be stronger.
In the Freljord, few people who act alone can survive, except for powerful Iceborn like Braum.
Because even if they were not frozen to death, they would still be robbed and slaughtered by other of their kind.
Zuo Chi stepped on the thick snow, with bursts of "crunching" sounds coming from his feet. At the same time, he was thinking about where he should go.
In today's Freljord, aside from a group of ancient gods, it seems that only three tribes are the most powerful.
The Avarosa tribe of War Mother Ashe, the Winter Claw tribe of War Mother Sejuani, and the Frostguard tribe of War Mother Lissandra!
These three tribes are now the most powerful tribes in the entire Freljord. Their war mothers are all powerful Iceborn, and each of them has the ability to dominate an area.
Today, Zuochi is located in the territory of the Frostguard tribe.
However, Zuo Chi had discovered long ago that the Frost Guard tribe was extremely xenophobic and they would never accept outsiders, especially those from other continents.
Going deeper into the interior from the east coast of the Freljord continent, Zuo Chi kept trying to find any traces of living people.
It has to be said that although the Freljord is extremely vast, it is extremely sparsely populated. It is most appropriate to describe it as a country with vast land and sparse population.
From morning to noon, Zuo Chi walked almost dozens of miles.
Finally, a watchtower with a very peculiar appearance gradually emerged in Zuo Chi's sight. Inside the watchtower, there stood two figures wearing armor and holding bows and arrows.
This was the first human figure Zuo Chi had seen since he arrived on the Freljord continent.
Without hesitation, Zuo Chi rushed straight towards the watchtower.
"Whoosh!"
However, just as Zuo Chi approached the watchtower, an arrow flying at high speed pierced his feet.
"Stranger, leave. This is the territory of the Frost Guard. No one is welcome here!"
Looking at the arrows in front of him, and then at the two figures drawing their bows on the sentry tower ahead, Zuo Chi could not help but shake his head helplessly.
"Excuse me, how do I get to the Avarosa tribe?" Zuo Chi shouted.
"Are you from the Avarosa tribe!?"
It would have been better if they hadn't said it. When Zuo Chi asked this question, the two men pulled the longbows in their hands into a circle, as if as long as Zuo Chi answered yes, they would shoot Zuo Chi to death without hesitation.
Zuo Chi shook his head: "I am from Ionia. The Frost Guards do not welcome strangers, so I will naturally go to another tribe."
Hearing Zuo Chi's words, the two people in the watchtower couldn't help but pause slightly, but then they gathered together and discussed something in a low voice.
However, relying on Zuo Chi's senses, he still heard the conversation between the two.
"Could it be that the news of Warmother Ashe recruiting blood alliances has spread to other continents?"
"War Mother Ashe is arguably the strongest War Mother in the entire Freljord except for our War Mother. I guess there will be a lot of people coming here because of her reputation."
"But given his physique, I don't think he's even qualified to carry shoes for Warmother Ash."
"."
Hearing this, Zuo Chi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Ashe wants to recruit blood alliance?
Blood alliance, this is the name used in Freljord, and it actually means the husband in a marriage.
However, the Freljord continent is a matriarchal society, where men do not marry women, but women marry men.
Now it seems that Ashe is openly looking for a husband?
Doesn't this mean that the Avarosa tribe will be extremely lively by then?
In this way, it should be convenient for Zuo Chi to ask for some information related to the ancient gods of Freljord.
Moreover, Zuo Chi also wanted to inquire about Braum's news. Having just arrived in Freljord, he was unfamiliar with the place and people. Without anyone he knew, everything would be difficult for him.
Thinking of this, Zuo Chi no longer paid attention to the two people on the watchtower. He turned into a stream of light and disappeared in front of the two people.
Although Zuo Chi was not sure of the exact location of the Avarosa tribe, he knew that the territory of the Avarosa tribe was very close to the Hearthland where Ornn was located, both located in the central part of the Freljord continent.
Considering the status of the Avarosa tribe in the Freljord, it should be easy to find it if we go and ask.
Zuo Chi was moving extremely fast. By the time the two people on the sentry tower reacted, they only saw a figure tearing through the snow curtain and rushing away.
Just letting Zuo Chi go and pushing it to the mortal enemy of the Frost Guard, I don't know if they will regret it in the future, and what will Lissandra say when she finds out.
Snow fell all over the sky, and all traces of Zuo Chi's existence were quickly smoothed out. The two people on the watchtower returned to peace again.
As for Zuo Chi, now that he had identified his target, he did not stop at all and rushed all the way to the west.
This time, Zuo Chi fully witnessed the xenophobia of the Frost Guard tribe. They seemed to be willing to forbid anyone from approaching the Frost Guard territory without asking any questions.
Frost Guard
So what are they guarding?
In the following time, Zuo Chi passed by many Frost Guard's watchtowers in succession and finally left the Frost Guard's territory.
Walking in the snow, Zuo Chi tried his best to maintain his sense of direction. If he got lost in the wind and snow, he would be like a headless fly.
Freljord is very different from empires like Shurima, Noxus, and Demacia, because there is not even a decent landmark building here!
Shurima has the Sun Disc, Noxus has the Immortal Bastion, Demacia has the Demacian Capital, but Freljord really only has snow all over the sky, and it can be said that there are no other iconic buildings at all.
That’s not right. There seems to be a landmark building, but that landmark building has no reference value for travelers like Zuo Chi.
Because that building is located in the territory of the Frostguard tribe - the Howling Abyss!
It is almost the most secret place of the Frost Guards, and no strangers are allowed to approach it.
After leaving the last Frost Guard Tower behind, a team struggling to move forward in the snow finally appeared in front of Zuo Chi!
Approaching quickly, Zuo Chi could clearly see the size of the team ahead.
Led by an old man holding a cane, followed by a few men and some women and children.
The only means of transportation at one end of the team was hung with luggage and was carefully surrounded by the entire team.
Sensing Zuo Chi approaching, several men in the team drew their weapons at the same time, staring at Zuo Chi who suddenly appeared.
"Stop, who are you!"
At this time, Zuo Chi was shirtless, with solid muscles on his body. He was not at all like them who were skinny and bony due to hunger. In addition, with the package carried by Zuo Chi behind him, they directly identified Zuo Chi as a robber from the Freljord wilderness!
But they were a little confused as to why Zuo Chi didn't ride a frost wolf.
Zuo Chi looked at the people in this team and found that, except for those few children, everyone in this team seemed to be on the verge of exhaustion.
The old man in the lead was struggling to support his skinny body with a cane in his hand, and his eyes were extremely cloudy.
There was no doubt that these people seemed to have not eaten for a long, long time.
"I come from the continent of Ionia, and I would like to ask you about the location of the Avarosa tribe." Zuo Chi said softly.
"Ok?"
There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the people in front, and at the same time they seemed to understand why Zuo Chi was still in such a strong state.
Everyone in the team looked at the old man in the lead, and the old man slowly said, "Young man, we are also going to the Avarosa tribe. If you don't mind, you can come with us."
"Of course, if you think we are walking too slowly, I can show you the way and you can leave first."
Zuo Chi was also somewhat surprised when he heard the old man's words.
"Are you all also going to participate in the grand event of Warmother Ashe recruiting blood allies?"
"How can we have that qualification?"
The old man sighed deeply, "We are here only to ask the merciful War Mother Ashe to take in my tribe. This winter is too cold. My tribe has not caught any prey for a long time. Many people have starved to death. If this continues, I am afraid that my people will..."
Having said this, the old man did not continue speaking, but Zuo Chi understood everything.
Just as he expected, the old man and the people in the team behind him had not eaten for a long time.
After a brief pause, Zuo Chi said softly, "Old man, I am willing to go with you."
"Haha!" The old man smiled and nodded: "Let's keep going."
Just like that, after several days of trekking, Zuo Chi finally got on the right track.
Because there were many elderly people, women and children in the team, the team did not move very fast.
Through the conversation, Zuo Chi also learned that the old man was the patriarch of this tribe, and his name was Lei Ze.
While on the road, Lei Ze also kindly asked about Zuo Chi's situation.
"Young man, do you also want to become the blood ally of Warmother Ashe?"
When this question was asked, everyone in the team looked at Zuo Chi curiously.
Zuo Chi smiled and shook his head: "I have no intention of becoming Ashe's blood ally. I went to the Avarosa tribe just to get some information."
"I see."
The old man patted Zuo Chi on the shoulder and said, "Warmother Ashe is the greatest person in the entire Freljord. Those who can become his blood ally must be the most powerful warriors."
"As for ordinary people like us, being protected by the War Mother is already a great thing. There is no need to force so much."
