Chapter 723: I Have a Dream
Frelchod does not have nine years of compulsory education.
Even the elders of the tribe are mostly more experienced—they lack sufficient knowledge and rely on their own subjective feelings for their logical ability and judgment.
In this case, in order to be able to impress these elders, in order to be able to convince Lisandro, Ash carefully prepared a speech - I have a dream.
"I have a dream that when the snow melts, the Freljords of the Lakstak Plains will not fight for the ownership of a piece of land, and war is not the main theme of spring."
"I have a dream that, when the monsoon is warm, the ports of the Freljord subcontinent will be full of ships from all over Valoran, and that the ports of Frost and Glaser will become trading capitals like Piltover."
"I have a dream that when the harvest season comes, the crops that have been planted so hard will not be destroyed by the war, and people will put down their swords, pick up tools, and collect the harvest of their hard work."
"I have a dream that when the cold wind blows down the snow in Avinia, it will not only be the furnace country that will be able to enjoy the Snow Festival, but all the people who have worked hard for a year, and everyone will be able to have a good time at this time, and the strong people will show their bravery, and the old people and children will clap their hands and sing to the song of Freljord."
"I have a dream ......"
"I have a dream ......"
With her own unique, ethereal, and relatable voice, Ash strives to depict her dreams, trying to use words and sounds to outline the Freljord of her dreams.
There are no endless wars, no terrible and bloody killings, no children dying of cold and starvation, no old people who voluntarily leave their tribes to save food.
All the Freljords are always united, the travelers on the icefield are always rescued by the well-wishers, the strong are used to challenge rather than abuse the weak, and the weak are trained rather than surrendered.
Ash seems to have returned to her childhood - when her mother died in a rebellion, the little Ash who lost her mother wanted to change the world with her own power for the first time, and now it has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye, but Ash's wish has never changed.
In front of the elders of the neutral tribes, Ash was like a child, telling everyone the best of Freljord he could think of.
And unlike the child, Ash really looked for this path.
Eliminate wars, expand production, start trade, and get right and left.
Not only did Ash describe her dream, but more importantly, she showed everyone a path to accomplish it, and it sounded practical!
Later, Ash even sang the song of Avarossa, and in the ethereal singing, a considerable part of the elders ...... The heart is moved.
Then, just when most of them were about to side with Ash, Lisandro finally spoke coldly.
"Can you really guarantee that everything will work out your way?"
Lisandro's voice was like eternal ice, spurring shivers from the elders, who were immersed in Ash's sketch of the future.
"Your wish sounds great, but can you guarantee that things will work out the way you want them to?" Lisandro stepped forward and emphatically reaffirmed, "Ash...... Inheritor of Alvarossa, I've heard of you since in the Frostguard Fortress, and I admire you for defeating Winterclaw and reckless Sejuani—but the world is not what you see! ”
Ash was stunned for a moment.
"Under the Wailing Abyss, it is the darkness that countless warriors of the Ice Bloodline have tried their best to seal, and the three sisters even died heroically in that battle, and we are called the Frost Guard Nobles, because we have maintained the purest Ice Bloodline from beginning to end, and we have suppressed the darkness that is about to move."
"You can pray for peace, you can have hope, but can you tell me how you will deal with this darkness that could break through the seal at any moment?"
"The Frost Guardian can suppress this darkness." Ash raised his head and stared at Lisandro without flinching, "Then why can't the united Freljord fight this darkness!" ”
"How can Freljord, who is united, fight against this darkness?" Lisandro asked rhetorically, "Without the baptism of war and the threat of death, if Freljord had the same food and clothing as the Demacians to the south, it would not be long before he would be as weak as the Demacians!" ”
"In Freljord, the strongest Icewolves are always the ones who were abandoned as children and survived in the end, and they have experienced pain and suffering that the Icewolves in the pack have never experienced, so they will have the power that those Icewolves will never have!"
"And if an ice wolf has been raised since he was a child and never worries about food, it will become a dog in three generations!"
"Nowhere else is Freljord, they can enjoy peace, they can enjoy tranquility, but whenever the runes are in turmoil, their country will be destroyed and replaced by those who are more powerful."
"But in Freljord, it won't work – if we're too weak, the darkness in the Howling Abyss will crawl out and tear everyone apart!"
"Abandon your ridiculous, childlike fantasies, Ash."
"We're Freljord, and this is Freeljord - if you want the world to be warm, take your people through the Iron Spike Mountains to Noxus or Demacia, Freljord can't tolerate a self-righteous guy like you!"
Lisandro's retort seemed to be a storm, obviously not fast, but it gave people a sense of oppression that was difficult to talk back.
Unlike the logical and reasonable Ash, Lisandro's example is more emotional and closer to the specific situation of Freljord, she first puts herself in the shoes of the victim, and says that Freljord's cruelty is necessary, because cruelty can stay strong, and if Freljord is really at peace, after a few generations, the darkness in the Wailing Abyss will get out of control.
The most important thing is that Lisandra forced Ash to ask if she could guarantee that if she did what she said, the result would be as she wanted - if Ash answered yes, then Lisandra could have said that she would agree to merge and unify first, and then as long as there was something wrong with the Howling Abyss, it could directly prove that Ash's guarantee was invalid, and she could naturally leave the alliance in a grand manner, and by the way, put herself on the high ground.
And the series of interrogations that followed were even more realistic and cruel - the Freljords had always been proud of their individual strength, and Lissandra pointed out that if Freljord was truly peaceful and unified as Ash said, the Freljords would lose their pride and then everything.
