Chapter 988: Meeting Sejuani
After staying on Olaf's side for a day, Ye Feng told Olaf about his mission to unite Winter's Claws on this trip.
Knowing of his mission, Olaf also heartily agreed to take him to see Sejuani.
Early the next morning, Ye Feng followed Olaf to the base camp of Winterclaw. Riding an ice boar that can travel quickly through wind and snow, the two soon reached their destination.
A camp set up in a sloppy tent, where living conditions were even more rudimentary than when he was in the Luna Cult. When he first came to Winterclaw, he didn't think of it as Winterclaw's base camp, thinking that it was just one of Winterpaw's small camps, just like where Olaf lived.
Passing by the site where the Winter Claw Warriors usually train in the wind and snow, Ye Feng even saw a lot of children from it.
It was an open-air animal pen built of simple wood, and Ye Feng also saw a lot of mount varieties that he had never seen before.
Walking through the animal pen, Ye Feng followed Olaf to the barn where livestock were usually slaughtered. But what made him strange was that there was not a single domestic animal in it, except for the smell of wild beasts.
"Olaf, is this a barn? Why is there nothing? ”
Facing Ye Feng's doubts, Olaf explained: "The environment here is very harsh, even those animals that live in the ice field are difficult to survive in this extreme north, and even if they survive like those mounts in the animal pen, the survival rate of the cubs born is extremely low, so the livestock slaughtered in the barn are usually brought back by the warriors who go out to hunt in the morning and bring them back at night."
"Will there be a shortage of food?" Ye Feng suddenly realized, but he had new questions.
"Of course, this place is not like your waters in Bilgewater, there are abundant aquatic seafood to eat, and this place is not even as good as my hometown of Locke on the northwest coast of Freljord, where you can at least catch some fish on the seashore, hunt fierce beasts, and be ready to starve at any time, Ye Feng!"
Olaf shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, as if he had become accustomed to life here, sparsely speaking of the harsh living conditions here.
Under the question and answer between the two of them, they quickly found Sejuani. Sejuani was riding her own Ice Boar and perched on a snow-colored hill jutting out of the ground, looking down at the Winterclaw children playing a game of warriors.
Pointing to Sejuani on the hill, Olaf continued to lead the way: "That person is Sejuani, go, let's go see her!"
After Olaf said this, Ye Feng also focused on Sejuani, who was dressed in frost armor, and secretly looked at this heroic-looking leader of the Claws of Winter.
As the two approached, Sejuani soon discovered their presence out of keen insight.
The whip in her hand tapped the ice boar, and Sejuani turned to the two of them.
Seeing that Olaf was accompanied by a Ye Feng who did not look like a Freljord man in appearance and clothing, Sejuani's sapphire pupils looked directly at Ye Feng: "Olaf, it seems that you brought someone who does not belong here into our clan."
Olaf replied, "Sejuani, this man is a friend of mine, his name is Ye Feng, and he is the younger brother of the Pirate King of Bilgewater."
Unlike Ash and Lisandro, Sejuani didn't have many prejudices and concerns about Ye Feng, and she said bluntly: "Since he is your friend, as long as he doesn't do anything that damages Winter's Claw, Winter's Claw will always welcome him."
After a pause, Sejuani added, "It's just that I remember that Bilgewater wasn't occupied by demons?" Is he taking refuge with you as a refugee? ”
Hearing this, Olaf did not reply, but motioned to Ye Feng to answer this question.
"Dear Winterclaw Leader Sejuani, I am now visiting the nobles as an Ionian Emissary, hoping that Winterclaw will join Ionia's alliance and fight against the demons of Shadow Isle!" Ye Feng also understood and told Sejuani his intentions.
As soon as Sejuani heard that he had come to convince her and her tribe to join the Ionian League, she remembered that she had come to persuade her to join Ash of Avarossa.
This feeling made her instantly hostile to Ye Feng, and she snorted coldly, "You Ionia are far away in the northeast sea of Valoran, and you still want us in Freljord to join you?" Don't you think it's a bit too much to whip up? ”
If it weren't for the fact that Ye Feng was Olaf's friend, Sejuani would probably have fought Ye Feng at this moment.
Sejuani's questioning words made Ye Feng stunned for a moment, and after a while he realized that Sejuani had most likely misunderstood that he wanted to persuade her to submit to Ionia.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng immediately explained: "Sejuani, you misunderstood what I meant, I came this time to establish friendly relations with the nobles, not to let you submit to Ionia, now the entire continent is shrouded in the shadow of the Shadow Island Demon, Demacia, Noxus, Piltover, Zaan, Bilgewater, Shurima have fallen one after another, most of their surviving refugees have been transferred to Ionia, forming a coalition to resist the demons, if you can get the help of Winter's Claw again, You will definitely be more sure to drive the demons out of this continent! ”
"Thank you for your recognition of Winterclaw, but we still have a lot of work to do in Freljord, and I'm afraid we can't help you."
Ye Feng's explanation gradually soothed Sejuani's anger due to her misunderstanding, but she seemed to be as interested as Lisandro in joining the cause of expelling demons.
Ye Feng had already guessed that Sejuani would probably be like Ash and Lisandro before he came, and would not easily agree to his alliance request. Sejuani's refusal didn't make him retreat, and he continued: "Sejuani, you don't have to be in a hurry to deny the alliance, I hope you will think about it again during this time."
Olaf on the side also suggested in a rough voice at the right time: "Sejuani, give him a chance, I think fighting against demons is very much in line with Winterclaw's credo of fighting in danger."
At Olaf's suggestion, Sejuani revisited Ye Feng, who looked emaciated.
After a moment, she asked Ye Feng, "You are the younger brother of the Pirate King, so you should have a lot of experience in combat, right?"
Although he didn't know the intention of Sejuani's words, Ye Feng still replied: "It's a little."
"Very well, Winterclaw is a tribe that worships power and glory, I don't like to beat around the bush, if you want to prove the strength of the alliance you represent, you have to compete with my warriors!"
"That's no problem, will you and your clan join our alliance if I win?"
For fighting, Ye Feng is still very confident. Although his strength has fallen now, as long as he does not encounter a genius-level existence like Fiona, he still has the confidence to win. Especially when he single-handedly took on the four Winter Claw warriors on his own, he was even more convinced of this.
Sejuani admires wild power, but she's not the kind of person who will decide the fate of her people at will. There are many things to consider in forming an alliance, although she is willing to give Ye Feng a chance to prove that she is standing, it does not mean that Ye Feng will finally gain her trust.
"This is just to prove that you and your alliance are really powerful, and it is also one of the factors that need to be considered in forming an alliance, so you are still willing to fight my warriors?"
Sejuani's answer made Ye Feng feel a little disappointed, but he knew that the alliance was in a hurry. As long as Sejuani is willing to give him opportunities, he can use these opportunities to prove that he and the allies behind him are worthy of Sejuani's trust!
Thinking of this, Ye Feng also told Sejuani what he thought in his heart.
"I do!"
