With that out of the way, it's time for me to fulfill my promise to help Darius, and we're on our way back.

When I came, I loaded a truckload of furs, and now there is no less, and I am a little strange: if you are just dressed as a merchant, is it necessary to pull so much?

"If you don't sell it here, are you going to take it back?" I pointed to the car.

"I'm reluctant to sell such a good thing to the Demacians, I have other uses, you've already met the people you want to meet, then we should get down to business."

When I left the Eastern Mountains, I would inevitably have to pay Alvin a toll, even for the intrepid pioneers, so the future of Demacia was really worrying, I watched Darius lying on the cargo, humming a little tune, as if not paying attention at all.

"Why are you so comfortable coming to Demacia with me? Aren't you afraid that I will betray you? ”

"Tam said, you won't."

“……”

Tam is still speechless, and Darius is indeed bold, I don't know whether to believe Tamm's words or his own power.

"But if Fiona lets me stay, there's a real chance I'll reveal your identity."

"Is this your love for her? A man's dream should not stop there, if you really love her, you should take it to heart along with the things she loves, she loves honor, you guard her honor, she loves this family, you help her protect Laurent, she loves Demacia, then you protect Demacia. ”

"If she loves Demacia, how can I work for you?"

"It's not a contradiction, I love Demmacia, in a sense."

Does Darius like Demacia? It's the biggest joke I've heard since I came here, and after all these days together, Darius has given me a completely different feeling than I knew about him before.

In the game's story, he is an iron-blooded general who spares no effort in Noxus' war of aggression, and now he looks more like an idle man, although he has a fierce face but is easy to get along with.

"Your words really seem like a joke, why don't you stay in the army and have the leisure to wander around?"

"The army? I'm no longer part of the army, and I was removed from my post when the invasion of Demacia failed ten years ago, but it also gave me a broader perspective. ”

"A broader perspective? So what do you need me to do? ”

"All you have to do is obey my arrangement, and by the way, make good use of the weapon that Fiona gave you, which is made with Demacia's forbidden magic technique, and it won't be tricky to face the mage in the future."

Although he left the army, Darius still didn't stop, but I really didn't expect him to be removed from office, who has this power in Noxus?

When he was halfway there, he got up and asked for the reins and whip from my hand: "You go and lie down in the back, I'll drive, and we won't go back to Doko first." ”

"Where are you going?"

"To meet an old friend, this outfit is just right to hide people's eyes."

Darius changed his usual laziness, and whipped the gray horse pulling the cart with a leather whip, this horse was very strong, but still screaming in pain, and I looked at his back, and in a trance I saw a warrior charging into battle.

I never told him about awakening Galio, and although the defeat had him dismissed, it had minimized the cost of the war.

Originally, we would have walked a few days further northeast to reach Doko, when he drove due north, and the temperature became colder and colder, until it was a snowy field, but fortunately there was a truckload of furs on board, otherwise he would have frozen to death.

"It's strange, I remember that there is a trade road near here, how can I still see it after walking for so long?"

"I'm lost."

"Forget it, anyway, the direction is right, just slow down."

It was in this snowfield when Tam sent me to hunt man-eating bears in the past, but now I still have a lingering fear when I think about it, but now it is just the two of us, and it would be quite a problem to encounter similar beasts.

"You've seen the duel between me and the man-eating bear, can you tell me what happened at the end? Why did the man-eating bear stop at the end? ”

"Stopped? Of course you hurt it badly, otherwise it can still treat you as a brother? Hahaha......"

If Darius said so, the audience probably thought so, but I clearly sensed that the man-eating bear was full of anger at the time, and it was unlikely that he would suddenly fall, and that he would finally fall with fear in his eyes.

If this wasn't my hallucination, then it was an instinctive reaction, but I really couldn't imagine what the bear would be afraid of in his original memory.

"So are there any species that would scare a man-eating bear?"

"Scared man-eating bears?" Darius pondered for a while, and suddenly thought: "The only thing that can make man-eating bears feel fear is probably the legendary Freljord giant sheep, but the giant sheep are very scarce, and they live in the far north, few people have seen it, and it is a mystery whether it exists." ”

"Have you ever wondered what to do if we meet a beast here?"

"No, man-eating bears rarely come to places close to towns like this, and even if they do, wouldn't it be nice if you knocked them down again? You should be stronger now. ”

"No, I'm not talking about man-eating bears, you look at the back."

While we were talking about the giant sheep, I suddenly noticed several animals following behind me, and I couldn't see them from a distance, probably wolf-like creatures, and this suspicion was confirmed by Darius:

"Oh shit, it's the giant wolf of the Northern Plains, these guys are much more difficult than man-eating bears, they always appear in groups, and it's not easy to escape, they will chase their prey to the death, hurry up, and you'll be almost to my friend's territory, and you'll be safe there."

That being said, it was already dusk, and the gray horse had been running all day, and could not run at all in the ice and snow, and in a short time slipped to the ground.

"I can't help it, I hope this gray horse can buy us a little time, run."

We ran away, and we didn't have to look back to know that the grey horses must have been torn apart by the wolves, but one horse alone certainly could not satisfy the wolves' appetites, and in a moment they came after us again.

We ran very slowly, if it was on flat ground, but it was very difficult to get a foot deep and a shallow foot in the snow.

"Don't run away, if you go on like this, you won't wait to be eaten before you get tired to death, bastard, kill them! It's a pity that I don't have my big axe with me. ”

Darius stopped, drew his sword from his waist, and glared at him, and I straightened my spear and waited for the wolves to arrive.

I used to watch programs like "Animal World" a lot, and I knew that the wolf is a very social animal, especially when hunting, it will show strong cooperation and obedience ability, and everything will obey the command of the head wolf.

I made up my mind with Darius that it would be much better to find the head wolf who was giving the order first, and kill the head wolf.

But when the wolves approached us, I was dumbfounded, is this a wolf? It's not much bigger than the African lions, and there are more than two dozen of them!

At this time, I thought of Jerram, and remembered that he was seriously injured in a duel with the giant wolf of the Northern Plains, no wonder such a big man would be so badly injured, it turns out that this wolf is so big!

The wolves quickly surrounded us, and Darius and I defended back-to-back, and that's when I spotted the head wolf standing behind the pack.

It was a very beautiful beast, larger than the other wolves, and a lighter coat than the others, and it sat majestically on the snow dunes.

"There's their head wolf on the snow hill ahead, let's kill it over there."

"Okay, let's hurry up, when they are fully prepared, we will break through, wolf cubs, you are unlucky to meet me!"

Without waiting for the wolves to rush up, we killed them first, and the few in front of me quickly retreated a few steps, while the others followed closely behind.

This situation reminds me of the ten-man team I faced in the gladiatorial arena before, they also surrounded and did not fight, slowly consuming each other's physical strength, these brutes are really smart, maybe the ten-man team also learned from them.

I was at a loss when Darius spoke again: "We can't go on like this, there are only two of us, it's too uncomfortable to be surrounded by more than twenty wolves like this, we should fight on our own, this seems to be unfavorable, but in fact it can spread them apart to a great extent." ”

"Okay, let's do it." I can't wait, firstly, the psychological pressure is too great, and secondly, it is too cold here, and a battle is urgently needed to relieve it!
