Due to the energy from the explosion of the frozen mausoleum, all the fires in the station were blown out, and it was pitch black both inside and outside the station.

Zuo Chi lay on his back on the snow and let the snowflakes fall from the sky on his face.

He could clearly perceive that Ash and Sejuani beside him were watching him.

"I'm just curious about where he's coming from." In the face of Ash's questioning, Sejuani retorted without flinching.

Zuo Chi slowly sat up and moved his somewhat weak body.

"I'm staying in the accommodation that the Avarosa tribe has prepared for guests, but I don't."

"So you're here to recruit Ash's Blood Alliance?"

Before Zuo Chi could finish speaking, Sejuani couldn't wait to ask, and at the same time, her voice already had an inexplicable taste.

The Avarosa tribe is already very strong, and if Ash is allowed to get such a powerful warrior, then Winterclaw may not be able to compete with the Avarosa tribe in this life.

As soon as she thought of this, Sejuani's gaze began to glance at the back of Zuo Chi's head, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

She was thinking about whether to knock Zuo Chi unconscious and take him away with a sack.

Compared to Sejuani's straightforwardness and impatience, Ash is more calm:

"Sejuani, he's not done yet."

Ash looked at Zuo Chi, her eyes were also a little inexplicable.

There are too many ways to recruit the Blood Alliance by the War Mother of the Avarosa Clan, and it can even be said that even the strongest person who wins the tournament may not necessarily meet Ash's requirements.

But Ash had to admit that the left pool in front of him seemed to be a good fit.

"Thank you for saving us. What's your name? Why did you come to the Avarosa tribe? Ash asked softly.

"Left pool."

Zuo Chi looked up at the sky: "I just came to Freljord, and there is nowhere to go." I heard that the Avarosa tribe was holding a convention, so I came here to inquire about the news. ”

"So, aren't you here to attend the Blood Alliance Conference?"

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Sejuani's eyes suddenly brightened a little, and she even forgot the sharp pain from the wounds on her body.

Unlike Sejuani, Ash's eyes dimmed a little, and his eyes began to look at the back of Zuo Chi's head.

Zuo Chi nodded helplessly: "I don't know much about the situation here, how can I participate in the ceremony of recruiting a husband as soon as I come up." ”

"How about you come with me to Winterclaw?"

Sejuani also sat up, she sat cross-legged on Zuo Chi's side very boldly, and raised her hand to pat Zuo Chi's shoulder.

"Winterclaw has been on the snowy fields for many years, and has more information than the Alvarosa tribe. And"

Sejuani patted her chest: "If you want to stay in Freljord, I can make you my blood alliance, and I will only have you as a blood alliance, which is different from her!" ”

“.”

Zuo Chi had to admit that Zuo Chi was still a little excited at the beginning, after all, as Sejuani said, the Claws of Winter have been burning and looting all over the country all year round, and even robbed Noxus and Demacia for a time, and the information they have is indeed the most complete.

But the more you get to the back, the more Zuo Chi feels that something is wrong, and how suddenly there is a feeling that she wants to be married as a little daughter-in-law.

Freljord has been a matriarchal society since ancient times, and if he really wants to marry someone, he really wants to marry someone else.

And compared to Ash's slenderness, Sejuani has that muscular beauty, not like Aloy, but also strong.

If anyone marries Sejuani, I'm afraid they will really have to be a little daughter-in-law in peace.

"Sejuani, what nonsense are you talking about!"

But before Zuochi could speak, Ash's indignant voice rang out in the howling snowstorm.

"How?" Sejuani looked at Ash without giving in: "People just want to inquire about the news, and coming to Winter's Claw is naturally the best choice." Besides, come and be my blood alliance, I really will only marry him with one blood alliance, unlike your Avarosa clan. ”

"Shut up!"

Ash glared at Sejuani with a disgruntled face, and then explained to Zuochi:

"Don't listen to her nonsense, although there are many subordinate tribes of the Avarosa tribe, it is precisely because of this that I will only marry one blood alliance! If you want to know the specific reason, I will explain it to you when I go back. ”

"Go back? Where to go! Sejuani mended the knife at the right time: "He's going back to Winterclaw with me!" ”

"Are you going to rob someone!?"

"Just rob someone, what can you do!?"

For some reason, Zuo Chi now always has the feeling of being fought over by two kings as a red face and trouble.

"Two, two!"

Zuo Chi grabbed Ash and Sejuani's arms, and said helplessly: "I'm really just here to inquire about the news, and I don't have the idea of marrying a wife yet." ”

Zuo Chi's words fell, and there was an instant silence between the three of them.

Ash and Sejuani, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, neither of them gave in and glared at each other.

"Humph!"

"Left pool."

Sejuani said again, "How about coming back with me to Winterclaw?" In order to repay you for saving your life, I will help you inquire about the news you want to know. I once took a Frost Prophet captive from a tribe who is said to know everything. ”

Ash said quickly, "Zuochi, the current Avarosa tribe has warriors from all over Freljord, and they must have seen and heard more than the Claws of Winter, so how about returning to the Avarosa tribe with me?" ”

Now that Freljord has entered the coldest winter, the difficulty of hunting has increased infinitely, and if there is a strong warrior like Zuochi to help him at this time, it will undoubtedly bring great help to the tribe.

So regardless of whether Zuochi wanted to become a blood alliance or not, Ash and Sejuani wanted Zuochi to go back to their own clan with them.

The words of the two fell, and they looked at Zuo Chi in the middle at the same time, and Zuo Chi could even feel that their hands holding his arm tightened a little.

Time passed, and the howling wind and snow fell, dyeing Zuoike's hair as white as Ash and Sejuani.

It was also at this time that Zuo Chi said softly: "My luggage and a few friends are all in the Avarosa tribe, so let's go back to the Avarosa tribe first." ”

"Whew~"

Zuo Chi's words fell, and Ash let out a long sigh of relief, and even raised his hand to pat his chest.

Sejuani behaved differently than Ash, standing up and whistling at the steelmane in the distance.

A hill of steelmane rushed in, and Sejuani beckoned to Zuo Chi:

"Let's go, I'll ride Steelmane and you back to get something, and then we'll go back to Winterclaw, and if you need to, you can pick up your friends."

Ash: "."

"Sejuani!"

If it weren't for the fact that she was very weak now, Ash wouldn't mind fighting Sejuani again.

"Pedal Pedal ~~"

At this moment, the ears of Zuo Chi and the three suddenly sounded dense footsteps, mixed with the low roar of the frost wolf.

"War Mother!"

Far away, shouts began to be heard in the night sky.

Ash and Sejuani's brows moved at the same time, and then they turned their heads to the north.

Under the gaze of the three people, two groups of people and horses holding torches broke through the night and appeared in front of the three people.

One of the groups consisted of the Frostwolf Knights, who had previously stolen the supplies of the Avarosa tribe, and some berserkers armed with double-plate axes, and Zuo Chi had also met an acquaintance among them.

Berserker - Olaf!

This mighty warrior who boasted of a glorious death now belonged to the Winterclaw clan and was a warrior under Sejuani.

The other wave were warriors of the Avarosa tribe, both men and women, armed with weapons and equally strong.

At this time, Zuo Chi also knew that these two groups of people met on the snowfield not far from here, and there was a fierce conflict.

It wasn't until they heard the movement here and felt the danger of their own war mother that they stopped fighting and ran towards this side with all their might.

Compared to Sejuani's safety, the looted materials are obviously not significant.

However, when they saw that Ash and Sejuani were all right, their eyes turned to each other again.

Don't worry about the safety of your mother-in-arms, then the remaining threat is the other party!

The two groups stood on the side of Sejuani and Ash, staring at each other, while Zuochi was right in the middle of the two forces.

If there are no surprises, the Avarosa tribe is about to start a great war again in order to protect their supplies, and the Claws of Winter in order to successfully snatch them.

But at this moment, Ash raised his hand slightly.

After all that had happened, Ash knew that if the fight continued, the two sides might lose more than just a little material.

"Sejuani, take your men and leave, and from now on, don't set foot in the territory of the Avarosa tribe again!"

Ash said and beckoned to Zuochi: "Zuochi, let's go." ”

Sejuani: "??? ”

"Stop!" Sejuani suddenly shouted.

Her eyes swept over the warriors in front of her, and finally settled on Ash and Zuochi.

"Zuo Chi, won't you come with me to the Claws of Winter?"

Hearing Sejuani's words, not only Ash, but almost everyone present had their eyes fixed on Zuo Chi.

They were all extremely curious about who this man standing between the two war mothers was.

Facing Sejuani's question, Zuo Chi suddenly smiled at her: "Sejuani, now, what do you want to achieve the most?" ”

It's about Zuo Chi helping Sejuani realize her dreams, so you have to ask.

"Huh?" Sejuani was visibly stunned.

But she still said very firmly: "Let my people have no worries about food and clothing, and never have to worry about food again!" We must survive this winter! I hope you can help me, and I will help you get what you want unconditionally. ”

As Sejuani's words fell, a look of emotion flashed in the eyes of the warriors of Winterclaw.

Under Sejuani's gaze, Zuo Chi smiled and stretched out his hand:

"I'll visit Winterclaw soon, and I hope you don't kick me out then."

Sejuani looked at Zuo Chi's outstretched hand, her eyes fluttering a little, and then she reached out and held it tightly with him.

In this way, the conflict between the Claws of Winter's claws and the Avarosa tribe was forced to stop due to a sudden attack by the Frost Guards, and then the conflict finally subsided with the appearance of Zuochi.

Zuochi also decided to stay in the Avarosa tribe for the time being, and then go to Winterclaw.

When the matter was settled, Sejuani prepared to lead the warriors of Winterclaw away.

However, just as Winterclaw was about to leave, Sejuani suddenly stopped steelmane, and then she pulled Ash to a very remote place on the side.

Faced with Sejuani's sudden move, Ash looked at her suspiciously: "Sejuani, what do you have to say?" ”

Sejuani looked Ash's body up and down with a strange gaze.

Eventually, after looking Ash up and down, Sejuani nodded confidently.

"With your small body, no man will like it!"

Ash: "??? ”

"You're here to tell me this?" Ash's tone had become a little unkind.

Sejuani shook her head at first, and then said, "Ash, I'm sure you can see that Zuo Chi doesn't want to be your blood alliance, you shouldn't force him, right?" ”

Ash paused slightly, and his eyes became more strange.

She said stubbornly: "If he doesn't want to, I naturally won't force it, the Avarosa tribe is not the same as your Winter Claw!" ”

"It's a deal!"

Sejuani nodded: "Since you don't want it, then don't touch it, keep it for me." ”

At this moment, even Ash, who was known throughout Freeljord for his kindness, couldn't help but want to throw a big roll of the eyes at Sejuani.

Ash turned to leave, waving his hand at Sejuani.

"Just rest assured, I won't force Zuo Chi to do something he doesn't want to do."

Sejuani nodded reassuringly after receiving Ash's affirmative answer, and then rode into the night with a group of warriors of Winter's Claws.

In the dark night sky, only Sejuani's voice came with the cold wind:

"Zuochi, I'm waiting for you in the Claws of Winter."

By the time the Winterclaws were gone, only the people of the Zochi and the Avarosa tribe were left in the snow.

Ash was arranging for his men to stay in the station, and after dawn he was properly settling the wounded, repairing the houses and tents, while Zuochi stood still and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but when the sky gradually brightened, Ash tightened the cloak on his shoulders and walked towards Zuochi.

"Zuo Chi, I've kept you waiting, let's go back to the tribe."

Zuo Chi smiled lightly and tilted his head: "Just the two of us?" ”

Ash nodded, "The warriors who came to support were members of the northern subordinate tribes of the Avarosa tribe, so they didn't travel with us. The remaining members of the Avarosa clan need to stay here to help. ”

Hearing Ash's explanation, Zuochi also nodded.

However, looking at Ash's somewhat pale face from the previous battle and the sleepless night, Zuochi still stretched out his hand to her.

"Can you still hurry? Or I'll take you away. ”

Ash raised his head, his ice-crystal, sea-blue eyes sparkling as he looked at Zuo Chi.

In the end, she bowed her head slightly and put her hand into Zuo Chi's hand.

"I'm small, very light."
