"Meow!"

"Well, Lingxing—wait, did you gain a little weight in Miyin City?"

In the Secret Silver City of Demacia, due to the new decree issued by Tiana, the hunt for all mages was temporarily suspended, so the Spirit Star and the mages also entered the Silver City from the small village together.

"This is ......"

Aretha looked curiously at the beautiful woman in a silk robe with blue ponytails fluttering in the wind behind Red.

"She's Sona, and she's about to become Demacia's ambassador to Freljord...... She will go back to Freljord with us. ”

Sona bowed slightly, she plucked the strings slightly, and as the beautiful music played, Aretha's eyes flashed with surprise.

"I can hear your voice directly in my head..... It's amazing, how do you do it. ”

Aretha happily struck up a cheerful conversation as she pulled her away, as if since the battle in the Hall of Valor, she had unleashed her magical talents, and had been able to communicate directly with others through the sound of the piano.

Red flew to the gate of Miyin City with the spirit star in his arms, only to see a majestic stone statue standing here.

Superman did not participate in the battle against Silas in Demacia, this choice was correct, if Superman's power was taken away by Silas, he used the power of the Colossus of Justice to quickly fly into the sky and escape, and Red may not be able to stop him.

"Superman, I'll ask you one last time - are you sure you won't go back with us?"

Hearing Red's voice, Superman, who was possessed by the Colossus of Justice, slowly opened his eyes.

"You should have discovered Red, a distorted being like Silas in this world is just the tip of the iceberg...... There are many more potential threats, and the Darkest Night to come—I can't go back with you until they have the power to protect themselves. ”

Red sighed lightly, and had to say that he had never been able to understand Superman's selfless thoughts.

But maybe that's why they're called superheroes.

"That last question...... The child has not yet been named, and as a father, it is your right and responsibility. ”

Laura...... Laura Kent, please help me tell her...... This is my first gift to this child. ”

——

"Just send us here, Generalissimo Tiana."

It's a small town at the foot of the mountains where Irwindale, Demacia and Freljord meet.

Previously, Galen and Gavin IV were ordered by Silas and Gavin III to lead the army of Demacia to snipe at Rader and them, but they were both seriously injured to varying degrees.

Of course, by now they should have received the news of the death of Govin III, and they were all on their way back to Demacia, and Red and they had a time difference and did not meet.

But to Red's surprise, Tiana did not choose to stay in Xiongdu to meet Jiawen IV and them, but personally sent Red and the others all the way to the border.

It can be seen how much she values Red and them, and she knows very well that even if Red will not stay here for long, his every move will affect the fate of the entire Valoran Continent.

"In that case, then I wish you all the best of luck - Lord Ash, just like the agreement we signed last night, Demacia will open the door to Freljord...... I will discuss the details of the trade and alliance with Her Excellency Sejuani. ”

Tiana looked at Sejuani, who was sitting next to her on a steel-maned boar, who said with a playful smile on her face.

"I really didn't expect that when I went to bed three days ago, I was still thinking about which route to use to bypass Avarosa and invade the fields of Demacia with the Claws of Winter to plunder—"

Although Sejuani made no secret of her aggressiveness, Tiana's face remained unchanged even after hearing her words, which should have been expected.

"But now, in just a few days, I'm going to be Freljord's ambassador to Demacia, Ash, I'll make sure again, you're not kidding."

Ash, who was standing next to Red, looked at Sejuani with a complicated gaze, and then nodded slightly.

"I believe you, Sejuani, and whatever disagreements and conflicts we have had before, I know very well your feelings for Freljord...... You will definitely not harm Freljord's interests, and you will definitely be able to show Demacia what Freljord can do for them. ”

While it sounds strange to have a martial artist like Sejuani as an ambassador, it's actually Ash and Tiana—and of course Red, who, after careful study, think it's the best solution that can be obtained in the current particular circumstances.

First of all, Sejuani is a factor of instability in Freljord, and this has nothing to do with her own will, as long as she remains in the Avarosa tribe, the members of the Claws of Winter may revolve around her at any time to start another war.

But if Sejuani had been sent to Demacia, the Winterclaw tribe would have been much more honest without a leader.

Secondly, although Tiana now holds the military power of Demacia as the generalissimo, there are more people who support Gavin IV in terms of elite combat power, even Tiana's own nephew Galen is extremely close to Gavin IV.

With the Demon Seeker Corps disbanded, for Tiana, she needs allies with combat effectiveness.

Despite her name as an ambassador, Sejuani can actually act as Tiana's "mercenary", and if she can achieve merit on the battlefield, she can also make the Demacians have a better opinion of Freljord.

Of course, the most important question is whether Sejuani will agree to the appointment, which for her is no different from exiling Freljord......

But Sejuani accepted the task very neatly and gladly.

"I'm still very clear about this - I don't want to be kept under house arrest like a pig in Alvarossa, at least I won't let Steelmane forget the smell of blood here."

Sejuani then rolled over from her steel mane and walked over to Ash and hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear.

"But be careful, my sister...... If you can't lead Freljord, I could come back and steal everything from you at any time. ”

"I'll remember, Sejuani—I'll show you a new era for Freljord."

After letting go of Ash, Sejuani turned to Red, who smiled wryly and spread her arms, and—

"Huh?"

The soft touch of her lips was only for a moment, and before Red could react, Sejuani parted again and licked her lips with her tongue.

"You haven't forgotten what I said before, have you...... The next time you're not in such a hurry, I'm looking forward to meeting you next time. ”

——

On the ice fields of Freljord, Aretha's car, which she has transformed with a green light fixture, is racing.

It seemed that Aretha had become more and more proficient in mastering the power of ions, and Sana was curiously stroking the green light structure, which seemed to be a novelty to her.

Red and Ash sat side by side in the back row, but the atmosphere between them was a little awkward.

Finally, in the end, it was Red who couldn't help but break the silence.

"Uh...... Ash, about the three missions you agreed with me before......"

"I know, you've done both—though I didn't think you'd be able to do any of them in the first place. It's almost like in a dream, my long-cherished wish for years, countless nights praying to the stars, and the sudden appearance of you has made my dream come true in just a few days. ”

Ash stroked the white hair around her ear, and she looked at Red with a complicated gaze.

"How scared I was that it was all just a phantom...... If I wake up and find myself alone in Avarosa's tent, and be on the lookout for the raids of Winter's Claws and the shortage of food for the winter, and if you're not there...... I won't be able to accept it, Red. ”

Hiss.

Red's scalp tingled slightly.

Although it was a bit foggy at first, after talking to Ash and Aretha during this time, Red had already realized the oolong he had made at the beginning.

Ash's first three agreements did not refer to cooperation, but to the conditions for recruiting a son-in-law!

Of course, this matter can't be completely blamed on Red, the main thing is that someone uses the information gap in the middle to mislead-

As if sensing Red's unkind gaze, Aretha hummed a little song and talked to Saona without silver.

"You see, the view of Freljord is still quite beautiful, especially now when the weather is nice...... The clouds on the horizon are like a big bird......"

Ash caught the scene, and her smile became a little bitter, and she reached out to untie the pocket around her waist.

"Anyway, you've done enough for us Freljord, and you're asking for something so simple...... All you need me to do is put on this ring and help you find the embodiment of hope. ”

In the center of Ash's white red palm, the blue ring of hope shone faintly.

In fact, Red had previously considered whether to have Superman wear the Blue Lantern Ring again in order to find the Showman, but Superman refused.

"The lantern ring will automatically choose its owner, and since the blue lantern ring chooses that girl, there must be a guide of fate...... She is the most likely to find the location of the Yao Muro Phoenix. ”

Looking at the light ring in Ash's hand, Red also agreed with Superman in his heart - this girl and the blue light ring fit very well.

"The last task, no longer needed...... For us in Freljord, as long as we are united and have Demacia's aid, we don't have to fear the Frost Guard. I am willing to wear this ring for you...... But Red, I have one more request. ”

Feeling Ash's burning eyes, Red sighed lightly, needless to say that he already knew Ash's thoughts.

Red reached out and picked up the ring that represented the blue light of hope.

"I'm sorry, Ash, but I can't stay in this world for too long—I have more important things to do."

Ash smiled and flipped his hand over and reached out to Red.

"I know...... But for me, this small happiness is enough to satisfy me. ”

Red hesitated, but finally slipped the ring lightly over Ash's onion-like fingers.

On the ring finger of the right hand.

Airplanes.

The dazzling blue light spread, and although it was in the ice and snow, it still made them feel so warm.

"I see...... This is the power of hope...... I could feel—"

Red looked expectantly at Ash, whose body lit up with a dazzling blue light, and it seemed that she was indeed able to sense the presence of the Shining Room.

"It's coming...... Wrong! Be careful!!! ”

However, at this moment, Ash's face changed, and she suddenly took off the Ice Longbow behind her and aimed it in the direction of the sky.

Shout!

The magic crystal arrow flew out of the string and flew towards the sky at high speed.

However, in the middle of the process, several huge ice spikes pierced through the clouds and accurately hit the magic crystal arrows in mid-air, instantly detonating the ice magic power.

What's going on?!

Red frowned slightly, and at this moment, the embodied car driven by Aretha suddenly braked sharply.

"Be careful!"

Red reacted quickly, and immediately hugged Ash and Sana, who almost flew out due to inertia, one by one, and then jumped out of the car, as for Aretha and Lingxing, they were already very skilled in the use of the light ring, and it was easy to offset the inertia of the forward rush.

When Ash and Sana were put down, Red knew immediately why Aretha had braked suddenly.

I saw that on the ice field, which was originally unhindered, I don't know when there was suddenly a blue ice wall more than ten meters high and hundreds of meters wide.

"That's it, boys."

An ethereal voice came from overhead, and Red looked up and narrowed his eyes.

I saw that in the clouds in the sky, a pair of wings that covered the sky and the sun could be faintly seen.

"It's her...... Red, that's her! ”

Ash seemed to subconsciously clasp with Red's ten fingers, and from the slight tremor coming from her clenched palm, Red could feel Ash's wavering.

Red's brow furrowed, he already knew who the heavenly visitor was.

"I should call you the Ice Phoenix Anivia...... Or is it the embodiment of hope, Yaomuhuang? ”

Red had already expected that Yao Room Phoenix had found a new possessed object in this universe, but what he didn't expect was that the target of Yao Room Phoenix's possession was not only not a human, but also an ancient god of Freljord.

I saw a whirlwind with frost suddenly roll up, soaring upwards to disperse the clouds, and at the same time, a huge bird-like creature fell from the sky and gracefully landed on the ice wall in front of it.

"Names are just symbols, and we're now one and the same."

Her entire body was made of crystal clear ice crystals, and she shone with a bright blue light, and as she folded her wings and looked at them, Red could feel the majesty of her body.

and the gentleness with which a mother treats her child.

"I have been watching your travels from the sky, and I look forward to the moment when you will be led by the Ring of Light to meet me...... But now the situation has changed, so let's stop it, kids, please go back the way you came and get out of here. ”

Red could feel that there seemed to be a trace of sadness and helplessness in the eyes of the ice crystal phoenix that shimmered blue.

"Now Freljord is no longer a place for mortals to set foot in."
