Page 116 Are You Fighting a Cold War? 】
After three days of traveling north from the War College, we arrived at the first pass to the north, the Howling Swamp.
Located at the source of the Serpentine River, Howling Swamp was originally a low-lying wetland backed by the Iron Ridge Mountains, and it rains, cold, and damp all year round, and there are some swamp creatures living in it, but it is not very eye-catching.
But later, due to the influence of many rune wars, the uncontrolled magic elements polluted the entire swamp, thus giving birth to many variants of swamp creatures, coupled with the influence of magic elements on the weather, making the swamp foggy all year round, and some people who originally lived nearby often disappeared for no reason after entering the swamp, which attracted the attention of some powerful adventurers, so they gathered a large number of people into the swamp to explore, but in the end no one came out of it.
Since then, the swamp has become more and more strange, and even some undead creatures have begun to appear, and there will be strange howls from time to time at night, and over time, the name Howling Swamp has been spread, and it has been designated as an extremely dangerous area by the Valoran Adventurers' Guild.
But these are not the reasons why the Howling Swamp is most famous, it is most famous because of its geographical location, since the rise of Noxus from the eastern part of the continent two hundred years ago, completely shattered the complete domination of the Demacian Empire over the northern continent, the Howling Swamp, this originally inconspicuous small place, instantly became the battleground of the two powerful forces, which determined who could influence the northern Freljord more actively, and the control of the marginal territories.
For more than 200 years, the two sides have been fighting each other, and countless blood has flowed in this swamp, seeping into the deep black water, nourishing countless swamp monsters hiding in the shadows and watching those greedy humans ready to jump out and bite anyone's head at any time.
Although in recent years, due to the rise of the League of Legends, there have been very few wars on the surface on the mainland, but the real struggle is impossible to rely on those show performances in the Summoner's Canyon to decide, so the battle in the dark is getting more and more intense, and the small-scale struggle has reached a white-hot scale, and there are many times more killing opportunities hidden in this swamp than usual.
"So there must be a lot of ghost stories here." Chen Senran popularized the common sense of the mainland to the sleepy little girl curled up in his arms, and at the same time lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the destination that was about to arrive in the distance.
There was a thick fog that reached up to the sky, obscuring the whole swamp inside, and even the color of the earth outside the fog was different, the outside was slightly dry and yellow, and the inside was thick black, black like the color of solidified blood. The fog was not fixed, it seemed to be blowing in some dark place, and they slowly changed their strange shapes in the sky, like terrible grimaces.
The little girl, who was originally sleepy, glanced at it casually, and was immediately startled by the wide and strange scene in the distance, and unconsciously drilled into Chen Senran's arms.
Chen Senran looked at the little Lori who looked like a frightened kitten, and couldn't help but feel narrow-minded again, and couldn't help but want to tease her, so he said the above sentence.
"Don't, don't, people don't listen, you are not allowed to talk about the big bad guys, you are not allowed to speak." The little girl drilled even harder, shaking her head desperately.
"Once upon a time, ah......" Chen Senran forced a smile and began to make up stories, after getting along for so long, he had already figured out the nature of this girl, sometimes she was fierce to death, but she was afraid of ghosts or something. Although there was no in the books he dabbled in, there was nothing like the Howling Swamp Ghost Story Selection, but his ears were callousing when he heard the ghost stories, and he could pick up two of them and make up a decent one.
The carriage continued to move forward, without a trace of stopping into the thick fog, when passing through the boundary between the fog and the normal world, a cold breath climbed up Chen Senran's back, making him can't help but shiver, at the same time he also felt a tremor in his arms, he knew that little Annie also felt it, but he didn't say anything, just touched the little girl's little head to soothe her and continued to tell the story.
"That's how the story began." Chen Senran didn't want to really frighten the little girl, after all, little Annie was already a little scared, he just wanted to ease the atmosphere and let the little Lori stop trembling.
"Don't talk about whether it's good or not, Xiao Sensen......" Xiao Lori begged for mercy and began to pull Chen Senran's sleeve, "It's a big deal...... I'll let you kiss it...... No...... Kiss the two, okay......" The little girl raised her head when she said this, her big pink eyes looked at Chen Senran with watery eyes, and she wanted to say goodbye, and she blushed and lowered her head when she wanted to refuse.
There is nothing to be afraid of that kind of shy little appearance, but there is some spring love, which suddenly washes away the gloomy atmosphere just now. So Chen Senran decided to carry out the intimidation plan to the end.
"Once upon a time there was a man in a carriage with his little daughter ready to cross the howling swamp to the north to do business." Chen Senran deliberately lowered his voice, but it was really a bit eerie, "He walked through the fog all day and didn't see the proven route markings marked on the swamp guide he bought before leaving, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious, but because it was dark, there were very few roads in the swamp that could allow the carriage to pass, so it was almost impossible to move an inch, so he could only stop the carriage to camp in the temporary camp, rest for one night, and go on the road again tomorrow." ”
Seeing that the kissing plan was unsuccessful, the little girl snorted and turned her little face to the side, but because of the beginning of Chen Senran's story, she shrank into his arms a little unconsciously.
He took his sleepy-eyed little daughter from the carriage and put her in the tent, ready to eat some dry food to satisfy her hunger, when she cried for hot soup, and this man was very fond of her daughter, and after thinking about it for a while, he told her that she would go and pick up something to burn and come back, and that no one should tell her to do so until he returned. Then he tightened his tent and walked out. Chen Senran paused again, and glanced at Xiao Lori, who had completely buried her body in her arms, and was afraid to death, but she pricked up her little ears to listen, and couldn't help but touch her nose.
Therefore, women are creatures, no matter how big or small, have a talent for curiosity to kill cats.
"This man carried an oil lamp and searched hard in the dark fog for possible dry wood, but after searching for a long time he could not find it, and just as he was about to go back and say sorry to his daughter, his oil lamp suddenly went out." Chen Senran didn't talk about it here, and looked at the little girl who secretly showed one eye and peeked out with interest.
The little girl saw Chen Senran's narrow appearance, and bit Chen Senran hard with a snort, signaling him to speak quickly.
At this time, a cold aura crept up his spine, and just as he wanted to turn around to take a look, a cold and dry voice like a crow whispered, Are you fighting a cold war?" Chen Senran became more and more enjoyable the more he spoke, raised his eyebrows and continued to weave, "The little daughter who stayed in the camp waited for a long time and didn't see her father come back and fell asleep again, but she woke up from freezing after sleeping for a while, only to see that the originally tight tent was opened, she thought that her father was back, and happily walked out of the tent, just wanted to call her father, but she didn't expect that there was nothing outside, at this moment, a cold breath climbed up her back...... "Just when Chen Senran was about to preach the ending that he had set up to scare little Lori."
The carriage stopped suddenly.
"Lao Du, what's wrong?" Chen Senran frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
"Something is wrong." Lao Du's answer was still very concise, without any fear or joy.
Chen Senran could only take little Anne and get out of the car to take a look, and when the curtain was lifted, the fog poured directly into the carriage, and Chen Senran almost couldn't open his eyes.
The magnitude of the fog exceeded Chen Senran's estimate.
It was a little cold in the fog, Chen Senran tightened the little girl in his arms and began to look around.
I couldn't see anything, as if I was blind.
"The fog wasn't so thick before, and now I can't walk at all." Lao Du whispered.
Chen Senran nodded and just wanted to say something, when a cold aura crept up his spine, and before he could turn around.
Then he heard a cold, dry and hoarse voice like a crow whispering:
"Are you in the Cold War?"
The little girl in her arms finally began to cry.
