Chapter 45: Freljord

【Spiritual World】

Hundreds of years ago, the most recent rune war ended, and it ended the era when magic lords were on the continent of Valoran. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The earth was shattered by the power of magic, and the plane became increasingly unstable, as if it could collapse into order at any moment.

People rebuild new civilizations on broken continents, and the ancient Freljord is shrouded in layers of greenery, and unlike the rest of the world, the hot and humid woodlands block people's tracks, and the beasts and the people who believe in the spirits of the beasts live here.

There is such an ancient legend about this northern woodland.

Back in the ancient times when the magic lords were rampant, the land was divided into two halves, each ruled by a magic lord, the lord of the west who used the magic of frost, and the lord of the east who mastered the fire, and they were rivals with each other.

The Frost Lord's protégés recruit disciples in order to defeat their opponents, but in fact they train their armies to compete with their opponents. The Frost Lord's legions are all covered in frost and become mental puppets of ice magic, relying on the power of the puppet's resonance with himself to attract powerful frost power.

The Flame Lord, on the other hand, adopted another method similar to Ascension, completely spiritualizing his body, attaching himself to the flame element, and emitting a scorched black demonic flame.

Their feud has brought terrible disaster to the land of Grufreljord, with burning embers and ice deactivating the land, and the Magic Lord, with his ability to farm magic without soil, cares nothing more than that he can end the decades of fighting and become the victor of the battle.

Later, in the Rune War, Freljord was nearly destroyed by the magic of both sides, and a sage defeated two feuding magic lords, sacrificing his own life, and his vast life force was quantified as a lush forest, sealing the Frost Lord and his army, as well as the Flame Lord.

This miraculous power enveloped the land of Freljord, and even the great shattering at the end of the Rune Wars did not distort the land.

-- These are just old legends, and whether they are true or not has long since been shattered by the wheels of the times. But as for the next incident with Freljord, probably only Lisandro knew.

Three female adventurers enter the forest, led by a leader named Lisandro, a well-known "explorer" on the mainland. The other two are Serelda from the barbarian tribe and Avarosa, the excellent marksman of the city-state, the three of them have also had life and death adventures before, and this time the purpose of going to the Forest of Freljord is to find the sealed lord, the lost ancient power, in order to establish a greater achievement.

And they did, and the three adventurers came to be known as the "Three Sisters of Legend".

The beast spirits guard this land, and there is also a legend that the beast spirits are the spirit of the ancient sage, but no one knows, and the beast spirits do not know, and the beast spirits do not have the memory of the sage, but they know how dangerous the sealed thing is.

They gave their power to the tribesmen, summoned the beasts of the forest, and tried desperately to keep them from approaching, but Lisandro was a clever man, and she came here to explore, and each explorer was obsessed with fascinating legends from around the world and wanted to discover them for himself. But because of these organized obstacles, she soon realized that the trip would indeed be a great reward.

Her eyes were blinded by the flames of the phoenix.

Probably because of this, she chose the power of frost that could freeze the land of Freljord, and the land sealed with the power of fire was separated from the continent by the burst of magma and drifted to the ocean......

The Frost Lords have been sealed for a long time, lost with his former staff, they call themselves the Watchers, the gods who watch over the land at all times, the ice and snow are their eyes, they are the authority of their rule, they have given the three sisters the Frost bloodline, so that they have the power to control the ice and snow, they have formed an army, and the Watchers have given their army the Polar Ice weapon, so that mortals of ordinary blood can also control the ice and snow with this weapon.

Later, the freedom-hungry Alvarosa first resented the rule of the watchdogs, and joined forces with Serelda to provoke a rebellion in the Wailing Abyss. Lisandro has always supported the Monitor, acting as an undercover agent and secretly assisting the Frost Watcher.

It was a terrible war, and many of the Ice Bloodlines died in the war, but Avarosa, Serelda, and the Ice Bloodlines who followed them eventually won the war and overthrew the Watchers. No matter what she did, Avarosa couldn't kill the Watchers, and in the end, she threw the weeping Watchers into the abyss.

After the rebellion ended, Freljord split into three clans, the Ice Shooters, the Frost Ascetics, and the Winterclaws. The three clans fought out in the Freljord Civil War, known in history as the "War of the Three Sisters". During that war, Lisandro assassinated Avarosa.

After that, Lisandro used magic to change her appearance, disguised as many prophets and elders, and she rewrote the history of Freljord, clearing all knowledge of the watchers, and now the shattered watcher story is retold as an old fairy tale. She stole her identity after murdering the leader of the Frost Ascetic Clan, slowly distorting the traditions of the Frost Ascetic Clan. When her human form grows old, she fakes her own death and murders her successor to steal her identity once again. Let each generation of the Frost Ascetic people become isolated, cruel and twisted.

To this day, all that Lissandra has done has been for their return, the Frost Watcher.

……

"Why...... Want to tell me this? She looked at the red phoenix fire spirit in front of her, and the content of the scene that the phoenix spirit had just narrated seemed to be seen with her own eyes.

She regretted the continuous disasters of Freljord, but she was completely unaware of the Ice Witch's schemes, and she did not know much about this land, if it were not for this coincidence, I am afraid she would not have come to this land of ice and snow, right?

"Someone should remember the past." Huo Feng just said in a sigh-like voice. "You shouldn't have been involved in this catastrophe, but the watcher will come back. Eventually, the sealed thing will break free from its chains. The burning of Lisandro's eyes was just an accident, we didn't want to hurt them, we just wanted to scare them away, we didn't expect that to happen, and we didn't expect that it would produce so much hatred that would make her what she is now...... Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, do you have any regrets? The Spirit of the Fire Phoenix suddenly asked.

Ahri shook her head, and she was stunned alone before she said, "No." ”

She didn't know why she was suddenly stunned, obviously this was a problem that couldn't be intuitive, but she seemed to subconsciously feel that she was missing something.

"Really? It's just your memory, it's weird. The Spirit of the Fire Phoenix continued.

"Are you...... What do you mean...... Why? ”

"Because there's a memory, preserved before you were born."

"You mean...... Past? ”

"No, no one remembers the events of the past life, and I don't know if there is a past life or a future life, but I just think, is it ...... I know there is a way to seal memories-" she said, as if she didn't know where to start, and she wanted to stop talking, "Every person is born without memories for the first time, and the memories during that time form a breakpoint, and it is by this illusion that certain memories are hidden before that breakpoint, and there is no way to go back." ”

"You say...... What the? Ahri's mouth opened wide, and even though it was in the spirit world, she couldn't stop her surprise.

"It's like a waterfall, memory is the water downstream of the waterfall, if you hide the memory in the upstream of the waterfall, it's like erasing it, it's hard to go back, but that kind of obstacle is only psychological, if you realize what memories are there, maybe you can really recall something...... But maybe I'm wrong, I've traveled all over the world through the eyes of a beast spirit walker, and I didn't know anyone who could use the magic of time......"

The phoenix spirit's voice became smaller and lighter, and Ahri was completely immersed in the memory, she knew what the feeling that had been bothering her was what it was, a feeling, a feeling that she had forgotten but could not know. She closed her eyes, and her memory went from being a demon fox to the earlier days in the jungle, to the time when she had no memory at all.

No one can remember what happened at that time.

Fixed-mindedness bound her, like a waterfall crashing into the water, smashing her mind down. Again and again, she tried to go further forward, but her established sense of logic prevented her from doing so.

Her head was starting to ache, which was almost impossible. Crossing a long gap to find something lost, it was like walking through a vast sea, but there was no light from a lighthouse in front of us, and the fading lights behind seemed to call: come back, come back.

Her head hurt even more.

Then she seemed to hear a piece of music, coming from far, far away—one that had been so sentimental and familiar at first hearing, but this time it was different from the one she had played, not from some instrument, but more like it came from the lips and teeth.

- "This piece is called Aria of Perseverance." When played with magic power, it is very effective in healing wounds. How's it going, are you feeling better? ”

It was a long white-robed figure.
