The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Request

It is true that Gruffin has a lot of snake meat, but Winter’s Claw couldn’t help but have so many mouths to eat, and it all finished within a while.

But also because of the food, Lothar and Ashe were warmly welcomed by the people of Winter’s Claw tribe.

“Avarosa and us are allies!”

“Welcome allies!”

“Hold a banquet!”

Unable to resist the enthusiasm of Winter’s Claw, although the three Frost Priests strongly opposed it, Ashe and Lothar were assigned to a hut to stay temporarily, waiting for the war mother Kokiya to find her.

As soon as he entered the hut, Lothar began to look around curiously.

Ai Xi felt a little funny: “Why, I haven’t lived in a house before.”

Lothar rubbed his nose and said with a chuckle, “I really haven’t lived here before. I’ve only lived in tents all this time.”

Ashe was taken aback.

Seeing Ashe’s expression, Lothar patted her head: “Don’t pity me, I’m lucky, I can live to this age without my parents’ care.”

Ashe hugged Lothar and buried her head in his neck: “I will treat you well in the future.”

“You are good enough to me.” Lothar said softly, “I am very grateful.”

Ashe hugged Lothar tightly, enjoying the tenderness at this moment.

Until Lothar put his hand on her buttocks.

“Lothar!” Ashe bit Lothar’s ear fiercely, then pushed him away, and said angrily, “When will you be more serious?”

“I’ve always been serious.” Lothar touched his ears innocently, “I want to make out with you.”

Seeing Lothar’s cheap expression, Ashe felt both angry and funny, and said with her hands on her hips: “Now is not the time, let’s talk about it after we settle down.”

Lothar lay down on the bed in disappointment, and Ashe began to help him remove the cloth and hemostatic grass on the severed arm.

“Well, it’s recovering well.” Lothar glanced at the wound, which was slightly bleeding. “It should be completely healed after the winter is over.”

Ashe touched Lothar’s wound distressedly: “Does it still hurt?”

“It’s okay, just hurt it when it’s coldest at night.” Lothar said nonchalantly.

Ashe didn’t know if what Lothar said was true or if she was comforting her: “I’ll go find the shaman of Winter’s Claw and ask for some medicine.”

“It’s useless.” Losala grabbed Ashe’s wrist and dragged her back to the bed. “Have you forgotten what Sejuani said? All the medicinal materials of Winter’s Claw are controlled by the Frost Priest, so just beg me I guess I only want to get back the poison.”

“Then what should we do? Your injury…”

“Let’s talk after we both have our hair down.” Lothar rested his head on Ashe’s lap, and said comfortably, “If the war mother Kuziya doesn’t let us stay here temporarily, we will leave directly, but survive in the wild It is indeed a lot harder than staying in the tribe.”

Ashe helped Lothar straighten his messy black hair: “No matter how hard it is, I will accompany you.”

“Thank you.” Lothar stroked Ashe’s smooth cheek, “Do you know the relationship between Sejuani and Kokiya? They are clearly mother and daughter, but they seem to hate each other.”

“I just know the general idea.” Ashe looked a little melancholy, “When Sejuani was a child, Koujiya abandoned her and eloped with a man. At that time, Koujiya had already taken over the post of war mother.”

“It’s interesting that a war mother eloped with a man.” Lothar didn’t expect to hear such a strange thing.

“After Kuojiya left, Sejuani’s grandmother Xijian had to continue to serve as the Warmother of Winter’s Claw.”

“I remember that old lady Xijian. It seems that she was the one who wanted Winter’s Claw to break off with Avarosa.”

“Well… If Xijian and my mother hadn’t had conflicts, we should have spent these five years with Sejuani.”

“When I was a child…” Lothar recalled the past. “At that time, Sejuani was around you and Glenna every day, and I didn’t have a chance to play with you.”

“My mother said that Sejuani’s grandmother was very strict with her. I heard that she had arranged difficult trials for her when she was a child. My mother almost let Xijian raise her granddaughter because she opposed Xijian’s way of raising her granddaughter.Jane felt offended, and let Winter’s Claw and Avarosa break off. ”

“No wonder Sejuani is so strong. I dare say she can easily knock down a Juvask wild boar.” Lothar crossed her legs and said.

“Don’t talk nonsense, that’s too exaggerated.” Ashe patted Lothar on the forehead, “I didn’t expect to see Xijian for a few years, and Xijian had already passed away… probably because of this reason, Koujiya had to come back to be a war mother of.”

“It can be seen that the woman is not very concerned about the duties of the war mother, and I guess she is still thinking about the man who eloped with her.” Lothar said playfully, “If I were a war mother, I would never let three frost priests go. Stay in my tribe, there will be ghosts if nothing happens.”

“It’s really strange…” Ashe pondered for a moment, “But this is an internal matter of Winter’s Claw, and it’s not easy for us to get involved.”

“Intervene in what?” There was a creaking sound, and it was Sejuani who pushed the door open.

“It’s nothing!” Ashe said hastily, “Have you finished talking with the war mother Kokiya?”

“Hmm…” Sejuani saw Lothar who was lying comfortably on Ashe’s lap, exhaled a thick breath from her nose, and said displeasedly, “I had a fight with her, but you can stay here for now. ”

“Really” Aixi did not expect Sejuani to successfully persuade Kuojiya, and she was ready to take Lothar to continue to eat and sleep in the open. [Resources’group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5,, 8″ 5.; 6 prepared.

“Of course it’s true, when did I lie to you?” Sejuani closed the door and sat down on the stool carelessly, “There will be a small banquet tonight, I will host it, and the tribesmen have a good impression of you. But don’t expect anything delicious, there is a shortage of food in the tribe right now.”

“Banquet?” Lothar turned over. “Will Gruffin meat be used? Can I help with the cooking?”

“It’s up to you.” Sejuani impatiently perfunctory Lothar, and said to Ashe, “Ashe, I want to take a few people to rob a small tribe tonight, can you help us? You have your True Ice The longbow can be of great help to us.”

Ashe was taken aback, and looked at Lothar with some embarrassment: “This…”

“Ai Xi, she doesn’t like to steal other people’s things.” Lothar helped Ai Xi express what she meant.

“I didn’t ask you!” Sejuani gave Lothar a hard look, and then her eyes turned to pleading, “Please Ashe, Winter’s Claw is really short of food. Didn’t your Avarosa tribe Do you often steal from others?”

“But…” Ashe recalled the plunder that Glenna had brought her to participate in. She didn’t like this way of obtaining food, even though she knew that if it wasn’t like this, more people would starve to death in Avarosa.

In the Freljord, there is not much difference between stealing food and killing people directly, and the victims will die in the end.

Looting is killing.

Ashe closed her eyes, thinking quietly for a long time.

“Okay…” Ash finally agreed.

“That’s great!” Sejuani was overjoyed, she got up and hugged Ai Xi, Ai Xi patted Sejuani’s back with a wry smile.

Lothar didn’t say anything, just looked at Ashe’s bitter expression, thoughtfully.

—————————————————————————————————————

In the Freljord, due to the lack of supplies, it is common for tribes to plunder each other. This is a tradition that has been formed since ancient times. The blood of the Freljord is the blood of the robbers, and powerful tribes can even drive warships across the ocean to plunder other countries. Facing the constant cold and blizzard in the Freljord, perhaps only such a tough folk style can survive.
