The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Banquet

The “small banquet” that Sejuani mentioned was really small. There were only about a hundred or ten people in total, and the only thing they ate was a big pot of snake broth and honey wine.

Sejuani went to quasi [source; source group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5,,8″5.;6 Preparing for tonight’s plunder, Lothar ran to season the snake broth, and Ashe drank alone at the edge of the banquet with a croissant full of mead.

Many young boys from Winter’s Claw blushed when they saw Ashe’s appearance, but none of them dared to strike up a conversation because of the True Ice Longbow she was carrying on her back.

Among Winter’s Claws, there is no Iceborn who is as young as Ashe who can use the True Ice weapon.

The sweetness of the mead made Ashe slightly intoxicated. She stared at the people who kept eating and drinking at the banquet, and recalled that Avarosa often held such banquets in the past.

But now, Avarosa is no longer here.

Ai Xi exhaled melancholy: “Don’t think about it, Ai Xi, no matter how much you think about it, Mom and everyone won’t be able to come back…”

Just as Ashe was talking to herself in a low voice, an uncomfortably cold breath came from her back.

Ashe turned her head suddenly, and the three frost priests of Winter’s Claw surrounded her at some point.

“What are you trying to do?” Ashe couldn’t help but want to take a step back, but she held back and puffed out her chest to face them.

The three Frost Priests glanced at each other, and the leader Frost Priest said in a hoarse voice, “What’s your name, Avarosa?”

Ashe glanced at the three of them. She used to think that the Frost Priest was mysterious, powerful and kind, but now, she only thinks they are hideous.

“I am Ai Xi.” After Ai Xi finished speaking, she added, “I am a longbow.”

“Are you Ashe? Daughter of Warmother Glenna of Avarosa”The Frost Priest eyed her.

“You know me…” Ashe felt a little uncomfortable, but the coldness of the longbow behind her made her face it calmly.

“We know the Frost Priest of Avarosa. Marukolo mentioned you… We priests sometimes communicate with each other in consciousness.” Another Frost Priest said darkly, “He likes you, I can feel it.”

“I don’t have to like that traitor at all.” Ashe’s face turned completely cold, and she almost couldn’t help but draw her bow.

“It seems to the traitor that something really happened in Avarosa. Has your mother completely followed that path?”

Ashe’s heart was beating wildly, and she searched for the truth from the scattered words of the Frost Priest.

“What is that path? Is the throne of Avarosa that mother has been pursuing?” Ashe’s thoughts raced, “Do they know that I have obtained the holy bow of Avarosa? No… It seems that they don’t know this A bow… I have not yet demonstrated its power.”

Thinking of this, Ashe completely cut off the idea of ​​drawing a bow: “Don’t let them know that this bow is not an ordinary True Ice weapon…”

The Frost Priests sensed Ashe’s restlessness, they smiled coldly and stretched their hands into their arms.

“Hey, what are you talking about?” A lively boy’s voice broke the tense atmosphere.

With a bowl of hot soup in his hands, on his elbows, and on his head, Lothar walked towards them with a smile.

“People from Avarosa… are you?” The Frost Priest stopped holding his hand in his arms and asked.

“It’s just a nobody, not an Iceborn, so don’t worry about it, Lord Priest.” Lothar said as he walked to Ashe, and handed her the hot soup in his hand, “My dear, it seems that the people in Winter’s Claw are really hungry , The whole pot of snake meat was snatched away, but I left some for you.”

Ai Xi took the hot soup in a daze. As Lothar said, there was a lot of snake meat in the soup, all of which had been cut into small pieces.

“The blood alliance that is not Iceborn…” The leader of the Frost Priest looked at Ashe with disdain, “It seems that even if Avarosa is not wiped out by Marukolo, the tribe will fall in your generation.”

“You!” Ashe was furious, but was blocked by Lothar.

“It’s okay, Ashe, drink the soup.” Lothar didn’t seem to be angered, and handed the second bowl of soup to Priest Frost, “Everyone is the people under Lissandra’s watchful eyes, so they are kind.”

Hearing Lothar mention Lissandra’s name, the faces of the Frost Priests softened slightly. One of them took the soup, stared at the soup noodles carefully, and smelled its smell.

Lothar knew that he was checking the soup for poison, but he didn’t care. After giving the last bowl of soup to Frost Priest, he took Ashe’s hand: “Let’s go, the banquet is not over yet, let’s go Have some fun.”

“Wait.” The leading Frost Priest showed a cruel smile, and took out a sharp dagger from his arms, “Who made you go?”

Ashe’s eyes were getting colder, while Lothar was still smiling.

“People!” the Frost Priest shouted, attracting the attention of everyone at the banquet, “Why are you feeding these two outsiders when you are all hungry and clothed! They are liars !Pagans who do not believe in Serilda and Lissandra! Do not be deceived by this girl’s appearance! Do not be deceived by this boy’s wounds! We have seen the darkness! We priests are the ones who stand against the darkness by Lissandra’s order!”

The Frost Priests surrounded Lothar and Ashe: “They are cursed by darkness!”

The dagger stabbed towards Ashe fiercely, with a magical aura, the target of the Frost Priest was Ashe who had the True Ice Weapon.

Ashe hurriedly wanted to draw her bow to resist, but a vigorous figure suddenly jumped between them and knocked the Frost Priest back with a stick.

It was Sejuani. She used the long handle of the broad blade to repel the Frost Priest.

The girl’s face was flushed, as if she had drunk a lot of mead. She stood straight in front of Lothar and Ai Xi with the broad knife on the ground.

Quasi [resource; source’ group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5,,8″5.;6 To be precise, it only blocked Ashe.

“Sejuani!” The Frost Priest clutched his painful chest, “What are you doing!”

Sejuani said angrily: “This is the question I want to ask! Without the consent of the war mother! Why do you dare to do something to my guest!”

“They lied to you! You are out of your mind! They are perfidious!”

“Priest, even though I have drunk a lot, I can still tell who is a friend and who is an enemy!”

Sejuani raised a croissant from the table beside her, and shouted loudly: “Winter’s Claw! Listen up! I am Sejuani! The daughter of Warmother Kokia! The master of this banquet!”

Ignoring the vicious eyes of the Frost Priests, she grabbed Ashe’s hand and raised it high: “I declare! I will let this outsider be my robe!”
