The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Goal

The countless lives of the Avarosa tribe were exchanged for a True Ice Longbow.

Ashe and Lothar didn’t know if this was a good deal, but it was the truth.

Ashe helped Lothar walk in the snow.

“Be careful, there may be prey nearby.” Lothar whispered in Ashe’s ear.

Ashe’s ears were itchy from the blowing, but she didn’t dislike Lothar’s behavior: “How do you know?”

Lothar looked at Ashe strangely: “Can’t you feel it? Didn’t you catch a few squirrels yesterday?”

Ashe blushed: “I’m not as good at hunting as you are… those snow rats I met yesterday were just lucky…”

Lothar smiled. It made him happy that Ashe had a place to rely on him.

Lothar looked around carefully, and said in a low voice: “Listen up, look at the tallest pine tree in front left.”.

Ashe heard the words and looked around, the pine tree was covered with thick snow, and its pine needles could hardly be seen.

“Counting from top to bottom on the left, there is a bird in the middle of the third thick branch.”

Ashe slowly drew out the Zhenbing Longbow, carefully preventing it from touching Lothar.

She pinched the bowstring with her fingers, and a wanton cold arrow condensed on her fingertips. She slowed down her breathing, and aimed at [resources’ group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5,,8″5.;6 The position Lothar said, draw the longbow.

Whoosh!

The ice arrow pierced the air with the momentum of thunder, and half of the snow on the pine tree was knocked down. Ashe saw something hit by her arrow and landed on the snow.

Ashe and Lothar took a closer look, and saw a snow-tailed swallow was pierced by an arrow.

“Pretty.” Lothar kissed Ashe on the face, “You don’t have to be hungry today.”

Lothar’s kiss came unexpectedly. Ashe wanted to punch him habitually, but what landed on Lothar’s body was just a soft slap.

“Next time you kiss me, you have to say hello in advance.” Ashe said angrily.

“Understood.” Frostbolt disappeared, and Lothar reached out to pick up Xueyan’s body, “Its nest should be nearby, and there are probably young birds inside.”

“Are there any bird eggs?”

“Snow-tailed swallows hatch their eggs in autumn, and now there must be only cubs and no eggs.”

“Forget it…” Ashe shook her head, “I don’t want to eat young birds.”

“Feel cruel?” Lothar stroked Ashe’s silver hair. “The adult birds are dead, and those young birds can’t survive the winter on their own. Why don’t they feed us.”

Ai Xi’s face darkened: “Yes… a cub without parents… how can it survive the winter?”

Lothar didn’t say anything, just kissed Ashe’s face again.”Didn’t you say hello in advance?” Ashe pinched the soft flesh on Lothar’s waist.

“Definitely next time.” Lothar smiled.

…

“Where should we go next?” Lothar ripped off the fur of the snowtail swallow, and began to process its internal organs. Even though there was only one arm left, Lothar was much more demanding than Ashley in doing this kind of thing.

Ashe looked at Lothar in confusion: “I don’t know…”

“You don’t know how to do it,” Lothar said solemnly, “I was hoping to find a place to live soon and build a new home with you.”

“But now our tribe has…”

“Don’t you have it…” Lothar looked at the longbow on Ashe’s back, “This is Avarosa’s secret treasure.”

Ai Xi took off the longbow. The crystal-clear bow seemed to possess some kind of magical power. Every time Ai Xi saw it, she couldn’t help but be shocked by its beauty.

“This is indeed a powerful True Ice weapon. It’s even possible…” Ash paused, “It’s the weapon used by Avarosa.”

Lothar threaded the bird meat with twigs and roasted it on the fire: “Have you ever thought about what will happen if other clans who believe in Avarosa see you holding the holy bow of Avarosa?”

Ashe shook her hands, and looked at Lothar suddenly: “What do you want to say?”

“You should ask, what do you want to do?” Lothar asked back, “If I follow my expectations, I naturally hope to find a secret place with you, build a house, be self-sufficient, and have a bunch of children. Kind of… but that probably isn’t the future you want.”

Ai Xi stared blankly at Lothar, and said after a long delay: “Why do you think so?”

“How long do you think I’ve known you, Ashe.” Lothar turned the snowtail swallow, “I’ve been with you since we were just able to play in the ground, although you may have other playmates, but I I’m an outsider, and the parents of other families tell their children to stay away from me. The only person who is willing to play with me is you, so I have been watching you, maybe… it may be a bit arrogant to think so, but I think I am bigger than you think know about you.”

Ashe put the True Ice Bow aside, hugged Lothar from behind, and buried his face into his back: “Yes…you are right…every time I close my eyes, I can see their faces. Faces… Mother’s, Yiru’s… and everyone in the tribe, they are all relatives who are related to me by blood, but now… none of them are left…”

“So you want to rebuild a tribe”

“A new Avarosa tribe.” Ashe lay on Lothar’s back, looking sideways at the True Ice Longbow, “I got it for some reason, Mom, she spent half her life working hard, Just so I can get it, it might be my destiny.”

“Go do what you want.” Lothar said softly, “I will be behind you.”

“Thank you…” Ashe replied.

“Incidentally……”

“Ok”

“Your breasts on my back feel very soft. It seems that they have grown bigger again.”

Snapped!

Lothar’s head got a loud pop.

…

Ashe nibbled on the grilled bird’s wings: “Where do you think we should go?”

“Of course it’s the place with the most Avarosa believers.” Lothar bit off a piece of bird meat.

“Lack Stark!” The two said at the same time, and immediately looked at each other and smiled.

“But how do we get there?” Ashe wiped the oil on her lips, “Lackstark is in the south, if we want to go, we have to climb that mountain again.”

Lothar shook his head: “It’s too dangerous. This way we will pass through the territory of the Ice Son. If we are discovered, I will hold you back.”

“I said that I would risk my life to protect you.”

“If you can’t bet your life, it’s better not to gamble.” Lothar sat next to Ashe, and huddled with her, “Keep warm.”

Ashe rolled her eyes at Lothar, but did not refuse.

“Besides, that mountain is too high. Winter has already come. I’m not sure if I can climb over in my current state. It’s still possible for you alone.” Lothar analyzed.

Ashe looked at Lothar vigilantly: “Don’t say any stupid idea of ​​asking me to leave you here and come to pick you up later, I won’t leave you alone.”

“Oh, have you been spotted? I still think it’s a good idea.”

“Don’t even think about it!” Ashe glared at Lothar viciously, “I will never leave you.”

“Then there is only one way.” Lothar said helplessly, “Continue to go northwest, find a boat, and take the sea route to the south, but it will definitely take a lot longer.”

“Just do it.” Ashe said decisively, “We’ll set off tomorrow.”

Rakstark is a rare place in the Freljord that can be called a city. The environment of the Freljord is harsh and the terrain is dangerous. There are few large open and flat places where cities can be built. Lakstark is very low, surrounded by mountains, to build a city.

But the most famous thing about Lakstark is the Sanctuary of Avarosa. There is a huge statue of Avarosa made of pure ice, the image of a beautiful woman holding a longbow. According to legend, this was built by the ancient Freljord people to commemorate the great achievements of Avarosa, so it also attracted a large number of believers who worshiped Avarosa.
