The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

VII Mountain Climbing

Marukolo walked up to Ashe, and the girl was standing on the edge of the cliff looking at the village they left.

Every time he sees Ashe, Marukolo can’t help sighing that this girl has become more and more beautiful. The tall and tall figure makes Marukolo unable to take his eyes off her. If it weren’t for her being Glenna’s daughter and future war mother, I believe that not only the Avarosa tribe, but even boys from other tribes would pursue her crazily.

But her identity predestined that her blood alliance must not be Fudo, even if it is the ice blood, it must be the best to be worthy of her.

And Marukolo and Ashe are also impossible. Once they become Frost Priests, it is tantamount to parting ways with love. They only have responsibilities in their lives and no personal relationships.

“Lothar refuses to take medicine.” Marukolo told Ashe truthfully, “He also refuses to stay in the village.”

“That idiot.” Ashe gritted his teeth, “We’re going to fight the Ice Son tribe! He’s still dragging his body like that!”

“You care about him?” Marukolo asked.

“Don’t get me wrong, I just…” Ashe thought for a while, “I just treat him as a younger brother who needs to be taken care of.”

“Really, is he my brother…” Marukolo asked again.

“Really.” Ashley straightened her long hair, which was blown by the high mountain wind, “You know, I don’t have brothers or sisters, so I treat Lothar as a brother.”

Was she telling the truth?

Marukolo knew it wasn’t.

The Frost Priest can see through lies.

Marukolo smiled slightly: “I will take care of Lothar. He is very stubborn, but my magic can make him relax.”

“Can you cast magic on all the furnaces who are walking with us?” Ashe looked worriedly at the climbing convoy behind him, “If they can go faster and don’t slow down, we can get there earlier The tribe of the Ice Son can also go back to the village earlier to pick up Aunt Heernuo and the others.”

“I will do my best.” Marukolo promised.

“Thank you.” Ashe looked towards the sky, as winter was getting closer, “What I’m most worried about right now is the war with the Ice Children tribe.”

“Glenna will lead us to victory.” Yiru appeared out of nowhere, he said optimistically.

Ashe doesn’t know where his self-confidence comes from. For Iru, his wife Glenna is an omnipotent god. But Glenna suffered many setbacks and failures on the way to pursue the throne of Avarosa. Although she persevered no matter what difficulties she encountered, the price was the shocking number of casualties in the Avarosa tribe every year.

Yiru smiled and walked with Ashe: “Glenna is the most brave and fearless war mother, and you will be like her in the future.”

“But I don’t want to be a war mother like my mother. I don’t want so many people to die because of me.” Ashe didn’t say this.

…

Lothar was the same as yesterday, reluctantly following at the end of the ice bloodline team.

Marukolo wanted to give him acceleration magic, but Lothar refused.

“I don’t want to accept help from my rival anymore.” Lothar said to Marukolo seriously, “Otherwise I will show mercy when I fight with you in the future.”

Marukolo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I won’t fight with you.”

“Even with Ashe as the bet”

Marukolo was stuck in his throat, and he found that his brain circuit seemed to have never been on the same line as Lothar.

“Look, you still want to compete with me for Ashe!” Losa gave Marukolo a hostile look, “I don’t want your help even if I’m tired and broken!”

Lothar continued to climb the mountain with a heavy bag on his back, leaving Marukolo standing there alone.

…

The Ice Son tribe is located on the mountainside. It is not easy for the Avarosa tribe to climb the mountainside in such cold weather.

At least for Furuto, it was very difficult.

Lothar’s feet became very painful. He knew that he had blisters, but he insisted on walking. He was afraid that once he sat down, he would never be able to get up again.

Marukolo helped the furnace households to keep up with Frostblood as much as possibleThe pace of the bloodlines, but the effect is not great, and the furnace households are also responsible for transporting a large amount of supplies, which seriously slows down the speed of the bloodlines of the ice.

Section 5

Aixi looked anxiously at the team of the furnace households. She knew that what the furnace households lacked now was not only physical strength, but also morale.

According to the tradition of the Avarosa tribe, Glenna, who is a war mother, can only lead the ice bloodline on the battlefield, while Furuto will be led by her younger sister Heerno.

Fortunately, Haier Nuo is sincerely good to the furnace households, and never discriminates against them because they are warm-blooded people. On the contrary, he tries his best to fight for their rights.

Unfortunately, Haier Nuo is not here now.

“Aunt Haiernuo is their spiritual support. Now that Aunt Haiernuo has fallen, who else can they count on?” Ashe stopped and looked back more than once. With the power of extreme cold, walking in the ice and snow for several days is undoubtedly a kind of torture.

Ashe saw Lothar. He was at the end of the Iceblood line and at the front of the Furodo line.

He alone carried the cargo that almost two people could carry, let alone he was underage.

Ai Xi couldn’t stand it anymore, she ran forward, looking for her mother.

Grena was checking the map in her hand while walking.

“Mom!” Ashe ran to Glenna, “Let’s rest for a while.”

“No, keep going.” Glenna didn’t even raise her head.

“But the furnace owners are already very tired. You made them walk for three days and three nights in a row. They are not of ice blood!” Ashe said anxiously.

“If they’re cold, they should bring more furs, or eat some snowmelt peppers.”

Aixi was dumbfounded for a while, and then said sadly: “There will be furnace households die again.”

“I know their limits.” Glenna never looked at Ashe, “Let them go for another day.”

Ashe looked at her mother’s broad back in disappointment.

“You may be a brave warmother.” Ashe thought to herself, and ran to the rear of the team alone, “but you are not a good warmother.”

Lothar trudged through the snow step by step. He felt that he was about to go blind, and everything he saw was blindingly pale.

“Well, what is that? The golden thing?” Lothar narrowed his eyes and looked forward.

It was Ashe, her long pale golden hair was billowing in the wind and snow, disrupting the unchanging snow scene.

Ashe rushed to Lothar’s side. She saw that Lothar’s lips were chapped and white, and his face couldn’t tell whether it was purple or green.

“Give me the bag.” Ashe ordered.

“what?”

“Give me the bag!” Ashe forcefully took off the big bag from Lothar, and carried it on her back.

“What’s wrong with you?” Lothar wanted to snatch the bag back, but Ashe blocked her.

“Go to rest.” Ashe grabbed Lothar’s collar and said viciously, “Lie down in a car and get some sleep. If they refuse, just say I said it.”

“etc……”

“If you don’t go to sleep, I won’t talk to you for the rest of my life!” Aixi ran away after speaking. She ran into the team of furnace households and helped them push the cart together.

Lothar stood there blankly, thinking about what Ashe said just now.

“If Ashe doesn’t talk to me anymore, I’ll be in a big loss.” Lothar smiled, and walked slowly back to the furnace team with a limp.

Neither of them saw that in the distance, Marukolo was quietly watching their figures. ————————————————————————————————————

The natural environment of the Freljord is very harsh, and it is especially difficult for humans to survive here, but the Frostblood is an exception. Most tribe or clan leadership consists of shamans, priests, spirit walkers, etc. of ice blood and magical abilities. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people who are neither of ice blood nor magic to survive in groups. Most of the time, they can only rely on the protection of the ice blood to survive, which also makes the status of Furuto in the Freljord always very low.
