He Comes From the Void

If the Howling Abyss is compared to a huge spider web, then the Frostguard Fortress is the spider sitting in the center of the web, and the portals on the bridge leading to various regions are the key nodes of the web.

Karn is at the end of the bridge, where there are statues of guardians standing in the palace, and there are many portals leading to various areas of the Howling Abyss. Lissandra and her men use these portals Quickly shuttle between the main castle and the abyss.

The stone bridge in the abyss also verified Kahn's statement. The bridge they were on was not the only bridge across the chasm. They walked on the bridge and saw several other bridges at the same time, which were assumed to be in different places. height and level. It's just that they were all wrapped up tightly like a shroud by distance, fog, and darkness, and they couldn't see the appearance of the bridge clearly.

Kahn remembered the abandoned bridge with only the skeleton of the piers that he saw below. He guessed that there were only a few visible bridges, and there were at least dozens of bridges between the two walls of the big gap, except for the one at the top. All but one were abandoned and disused.

But so many bridges are enough to show that the Howling Abyss is so big that many bridges need to be erected to ensure basic transportation.

In addition to bridges, at key points along the Howling Abyss, the Frostguard also built huge spiked partitions on the cliffs, which have stood for thousands of years.

These buildings are like huge forked spines growing from the ice wall, lying in the dense fog, just too huge to match the huge size of the Watchers. Although it took a huge amount of labor, their existence is still meaningful.

If one day, when the Watchers wake up again, these crude fortifications may buy some precious time for the people above, allowing them to prepare as much as they can for the final battle.

The ethereal wailing flowing in the wind became more intense, and the ice crystal shards hit them, making the armor turn white.

They followed Lissandra to the gate of the main castle, and the warriors guarding the gate immediately opened the heavy gate a crack.

Regarding the visit of the two visitors, these frost guards did not show any curiosity or disdain, and there was no communication during the whole process. Kahn can be sure they are not blind, but not even a simple eye contact, standing in the cold wind, guarding the towering city walls.

The Frostguard's faith in Lissandra is harsh and stern, vowing blind obedience, freezing, and bleeding. No one dared to question or question the guests brought back by Lissandra himself, which shows how firm their beliefs are.

Until they all entered the main castle, the gate was closed, and the howling cold wind was shut out with the roaring echo. It's not as cold here as it was outside. Kahn and Kai'Sa lifted their helmets one after another, breathing in the bitter air.

The surrounding stone pillars are inlaid with spars emitting cold light, continuously illuminating the four walls of the palace. In the end, the two of them followed Lissandra all the way through various inner halls and corridors, and came to a secret private room in the upper part of the main castle.

As soon as the door was opened, a threatening cold air hit the face, like the smell of a freezer. Kahn followed Lissandra into the stone room, and saw many windows on the circular ceiling at first sight, and the runes engraved on them could control the energy of many celestial bodies.

In front of him was a staircase extending downwards, the room was very dark, the light of the frosty moon and the cold star cast into the stone room, and thousands of black icicles shaped like coffins protruded from the snowy ground. They are like huge black teeth, growing out of the deep valleys, as if to swallow the sky.

Lissandra went down the stairs, and walked slowly among the unique ice formations, meandering through the cracks between the ice crystals, she seemed to see more clearly in the dark even though she was totally blind.

"Come down." The Frost Witch said calmly, "I've always thought this place is beautiful, and I always like to come here to have a look before I fall asleep."

The night sky can be seen here, but compared to other cold places, Kahn feels that this place is as quiet as a mausoleum, lifeless.

They followed down the stairs and came to the ice formation. As soon as Fang approached, what he saw in the icicles surprised him.

In every black icicle, a half-dreaming, half-dead person is frozen, chattering among the ice crystal boulders.

The characters sealed in the ice stone are also strange, including ancient troll kings, human knights with mottled armor, thieves holding gem daggers, and almost all kinds of characters.

They come from all over the world and from different eras, but one thing in common is that these people are all frozen in time and space, trapped between dreams and death.

The moment of waking up from the dream is the moment of death.

"Why are these people sealed here? Did they do anything?"

Kahn didn't know whether the situation in front of him was due to Lissandra's bad taste or what. These people from different time and space could not have gathered to fight against Lissandra. They were definitely frozen one by one and stored together in this stone room.

It made him think that Lissandra might have some weird and terrible proclivities.

"These are my treasures. They all wanted to be the hero who killed the Frost Witch. I froze them in time and space, returning to the moment when they killed the so-called Frost Witch." Lissandra's blue A self-admired smile was drawn on the lips: "Don't you think it's beautiful? Such people of all kinds are united under the same goal of action, and they are all heroes."

"It's hard to disagree." Kahn only felt panicked. It turned out that his intuition was so accurate, this place is really a tomb.

What he was thinking now was that Lissandra's rhetoric might just be an excuse. She brought them here, obviously to warn them that all those who tried to kill her would end up like this. Even if she really thought the scene here was beautiful, it definitely had a warning purpose.

"What are you doing this for? Just because it looks good?" Kai'Sa tried to understand Lissandra's logic.

"Of course more than that, the existence of these ice stones is meaningful." Lissandra brushed the surface of the ice shell with her thin fingers, nodded and said: "The nightmares they have during the torment will lull other restless people to sleep, and the dream is The world's last line of defense, the more the better."

Lissandra spoke cryptically, but Karn understood her meaning anyway.

These heroes are different from ordinary people. It is better to be a carrier of dreams than to die in vain. After all, Lissandra alone will run out of inspiration sooner or later. When the watchers get tired of the dreams she created, the consequences will be disastrous. And the stronger the willpower of these heroes, the more realistic the dreams they create, which can provide some inspiration for Lissandra walking in the dream to relieve her urgent needs.

"What about those trolls from before? Also put them here?"
