Chapter 127: The Legend of the Frost Guard
Legend has it that deep in the Iron Ridge Mountains in the far north, there is a city covered in ice and snow that is home to a powerful people known as the Frost Guards. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Inherited from antiquity, the Frost Guardians live to fight against the most evil Frost Watchers in the Ice Plains and their leader, the Ice Witch.
The Frost Guardians lie dormant in the most snow-covered depths of the Ironridge Mountains all year round, living a secluded life in their Frost Guard City.
There was once such a note about the Frost City, which is still stored in the archives of the Intelligence Service of the Federation of Demacia:
The Frost Guard, east of Freljord
I underestimated the journey it would be to be here. Blizzards and icy scenery slowed down our trip, and Hualuo could barely fly and scout in this cold weather. As we were about to run out of food, we finally reached the gates of the Frost Guarded City. The people here welcomed us like Ash's allies and gave us food and shelter.
It didn't feel like Camp Alvarossa or Sejuani's legions. The city looks a mix of old and new. The black stone buildings have clearly been baptized over the centuries, and they are stacked on the glacial walls. How exactly is this built?
Lisandro, leader of the Frost Guard, is a rhetorical and elegant lady with a queenly demeanor. She reminded me that Demacia was a little nobler than the barbarians of Freljord. This may be the reason why Hua Luo doesn't like her.
City of Frost Guard, a little later
We enjoyed the privileges of Demacia's ambassadors, but something wasn't right. Lisandro told me a little bit about their union with Ash. I mentioned the troll threat to her, but she believed it was an exaggeration. Lisandro is confident that the Frost Guardian will be able to destroy the trolls and protect the east. But if that's the case, why hasn't she fought back yet? When I mentioned the Ice Witch to her, she denied what I had heard.
The Frost Guard insisted on protecting us at all times, and we weren't allowed to inspect parts of the city. What is there that they don't want us to know?
If there's a secret here, I'll find it. Warlot and I will investigate here in the evening. The guards would never know that we had left our dwellings.
City of Frost Guards, Night
Something is not right here.
Hua Luo and I slowly investigated in the city. It's a strange place at night. Many of the buildings have a sign on them, which is an open and staring eye. Almost everywhere, as if observing the city and its people. I don't like the feeling of being stared at.
We see a group of frost guards in the depths of the city. They knelt on top of a giant stone eye and said strange things, but full of reverence. The Frost Guardians must be hiding something more important than the alliance with Alvarossa. What are they planning?
I feel like we're being targeted. We're not safe, and Warlot and I have to leave now.
Quoted from - Federated States of Demacia: Quinn's Diary
This note is a note from Quinn, the former best scout leader of the Demacian Federation, when he explored the northern ice fields, and it seems to reveal some unusual changes in the Frost Guardian Clan, however, this was not taken seriously by the higher echelons of the Demacian Federation at the time, and there are several similar notes in the War College, but it is not as detailed as Quinn's note.
Since the War College is a neutral force, without special reasons, intelligence personnel cannot enter some well-known forces openly, and it is too dangerous to infiltrate the Frost City, so there is no more detailed information about the Frost City in the War College.
This is also one of the changes that Chen Yin and others did not consider on the way to the north.
It has been six days since Chen Yin, Annie, Jack, and Vanessa entered the Iron Ridge Mountains in the north, and the further north they went, the temperature became colder, the tall towering trees were covered with snow, and the fallen leaves under their feet were covered with ice slag, making a "crunching" sound when they stepped on them. Every breath that everyone exhaled as they marched instantly turned into a large patch of misty white gas. The temperature here is at least minus 30 degrees.
Chen Yin and Anne were not affected by this cold environment, after all, Chen Yin was extraordinary, and Anne was a body of flames, and Jack could barely withstand it, but Vanessa was a little miserable, clasping her arms and trembling and following everyone reluctantly.
Vanessa's situation in front of him made Chen Yin very worried, and he asked Annie next to him, "Annie, can your fire attribute energy be transmitted to Vanessa to keep her warm?" ”
Annie shook her head and said, "Brother Mo Yan, if I could do it, I would have done it a long time ago, all the fire attribute energy I released was attack, and Sister Vanessa would be injured if she got it." ”
At this time, Jack thought for a while and said, "Brother Mo Yan, this is still due to the fact that we were in too much hurry and did not prepare completely, and the road that originally went south was temporarily changed to northbound, but you didn't carry the clothes that could protect against the winter. ”
Seeing that several people were all looking at him, Jack didn't continue to sell Guanzi, and said directly, "In the mountain range, there will be many monsters with thick fur, we can find a cave to hold off for a few days before leaving, Anne accompany Vanessa, Brother Mo Yan and I will go to capture a few monsters, let's simply make a few warm clothes and then move on." ”
Jack's proposal was met with approval and approval, and it wasn't long before the men found a cave.
Jack sniffed the smell in the cave, touched the dirt on the ground, and said, "Look at the dryness of the land and the smell of cleanliness, according to my experience, this cave should not have been inhabited by demonic beasts, so let's settle here." ”
After all, Jack was the deputy commander of the noose hunter team, and he still has some judgment in this way. Without hesitation, everyone searched for many branches and hay in the surrounding area, shook off the ice and snow, and carried them all into the cave. It was a little surprising that there were a lot of dried grass and sun-dried leaves stored in the cave, but now they are covered with a thick layer of dust, and it seems that people once stayed here.
After seeing this, everyone was not suspicious, after all, the footprints of hunters and explorers are all over the corner of the Valoran continent, and it is not surprising that people have been here before.
Later, the bonfire was lit, Chen Yin and Jack put all their bags in the cave, and the two of them simply ate something and prepared to set off to hunt the monster.
At the time of parting, Chen Yin told Anne to take good care of Vanessa, waiting for him and Jack to return safely, Anne patted her little chest and assured Chen Yin that she would do well.
In this way, Chen Yin and Jack went deep into the mountains, following the footprints of the monsters and the traces of feces, tracking the tracks of some large monsters.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yin and Jack have been gone for two days, and the food stored in the cave is enough, but the waiting time will be boring, so Anne pesters Vanessa to tell her stories every day, and she also asks some cute questions from time to time, which makes Vanessa laugh, so the two of them are not too lonely.
On the third day, after Vanessa and Anne ate the barbecued rabbit meat, Anne was about to ask Vanessa to tell her another story. But at this time, the two of them heard footsteps coming from outside the cave at the same time.
"Brother Mo Yan!! They're back!! Anne jumped up excitedly and ran towards the hole.
"Anne, wait a minute!" Vanessa tried to stop but couldn't stop it, but saw that Anne had already run out, Vanessa was old and cautious after all, she carefully picked up her short knife, and followed Anne to the entrance of the cave.
Vanessa hadn't even reached the entrance of the cave when she heard Annie screaming "Who are you?? Also, what is this monster?? (To be continued.) )
