The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: The Small Town in the South

“No!” Ashe sat up directly from the bed, not even caring that she was still naked, “I don’t agree!”

“Ash.” Lothar smiled wryly and sat next to her. “I’m just taking Olaf to the south to have a look. Nothing will happen.”

Ashe took Lothar’s hand, and said with concern: “I don’t know how the country called Demacia to the south is, but my mother said that their soldiers are not soft bones. It’s too dangerous for you to go.”

“It’s not that I went to fight with them, I sneaked into a small town on their border to find an opponent for Olaf.” Lothar rested his head on Ashe’s shoulder, sniffing the fragrance of her body, “No more It must be able to touch it, if I don’t find it, I will bring him back immediately.”

Ashe was silent for a while, looked at her lover who was leaning on her, and sighed: “I don’t want to tie you up, and make you lose your freedom because you made an oath to me. But you should at least tell me what you want to bring Who should Olaf go to, or else I really don’t feel relieved.”

Lothar’s eyes flickered slightly: “I’m sorry, Ashe, I still can’t tell you.”

“Why?” Ashe grabbed Lothar’s hand anxiously, and said sadly, “We are husband and wife, what can we bear together!”

“Don’t worry, you misunderstood.” Lothar comforted Ashe, “I am going to Demacia this time to find the opponent I first arranged for Olaf. The first one I kept from you is because you Knowing about it will do Avarosa harm rather than benefit, the less people know about that guy, the better.”

Ashe still couldn’t understand what Lothar meant, but she didn’t delve into it either: “What about the second one?”

Lothar scratched his head: “This one… I met when I was a child.”

“When I was a child”

“Do you still remember that Glenna took the tribe to move south once?” Lothar’s words awakened Ashe’s memory.

“It seems that there was such a time…”

“At that time, you were studying with your sworn fathers, and you didn’t play with me, so I sneaked to Demacia in the south by myself.” Lothar stuck out his tongue.

Ai Xi was dumbfounded: “You are too courageous! How old were you at that time! What if you don’t come back!”

“I’m back, haven’t I?” Lothar patted himself on the chest, “I found a rather…indescribable guy in that place.”

“Indescribable”

“Sorry, Ashe, I really don’t know how to describe it to you.” Lothar turned his head in distress, “I was too young at that time, I just barely remembered that… The guy is terrible, and I forgot many details gone.”

“So you want to take Olaf to the south with an unreliable memory”

“Anyway, we still have to wait until spring in Ningshuang Harbor. If we are free, we will take him to have a look, and let him be my guard by the way. IAlso trying to figure out what the heck that guy I saw as a kid was. Lothar stuck out his tongue.

Ashe sighed for a long time, and whispered in a mosquito-like voice: “Can’t you spend more time with me when you’re free…”

“Well, what did you say?” Lothar’s hearing was very good. Even though Ashe barely made a sound, he still heard a little bit.

“It’s nothing… I still disagree. If you want to go to other places, at least you have to wait until your injury is completely healed…”

“Ash.” Lothar said sincerely, “My injury is almost healed, and Olaf will still be with me. There will be absolutely no danger. The place I’m going to is just a very small place on the border of Demacia. It’s just a small town. Besides, I didn’t take Olaf to die, how could I just let go of the men I finally got.”

“But……”

“I promise, I will be back within three months!” Lothar kissed Ashe’s face, “You just stay in Frost Harbor and do your duty as a war mother, trust me.”

Ashe’s lips trembled slightly. She still wanted to object, but she knew she couldn’t stop Lothar.

He is a wolf cub, a wolf cub that no one can control.

Ashe wrapped her hands around Lothar’s neck and pulled him to her body: “If you don’t come back within three months, I will…”

“There won’t be such an if.” Lothar blocked Ashe’s mouth.

…

“I’ll tell you again.” Lothar turned to Olaf and said, “We are pretending to be traveling merchants, if someone comes to you, don’t talk, just use the leather and bacon in the bag to exchange things or money with him. ”

Olaf moved his jaw uncomfortably. Lothar would not let him wear a helmet, and he had to wrap his head with a cloth, which made him feel very bored: “I know, no matter who comes to talk to me, I will pretend Dumb, is it true that I can’t take off this rag?”

Lothar refused straight away: “If you pick it off, idiots can tell that you are from the Freljord. If you want to pick it off, you can shave off your beard.”

Olaf hastily protected his beard: “No one should try to trick me!”

Lothar shook his head with a smile. Although this big man of Lokfar has a bad temper, he is still quite easy to communicate with.

Olaf clicked his mouth a few times, took out the jug and took a sip, and found that the jug had bottomed out, and said angrily, “How long have we been walking?”

“Fourteen days.” Lothar replied, “We are almost at our destination.”

“I hope there really is someone strong enough to kill me.” Olaf’s eyes showed excitement.

“Let’s just say it first. I’m not sure if that guy is still around. It’s possible that we’ll miss out.”

“Never mind, let’s go first! Buy some wine by the way!”

After crossing the cold snow mountain, Lothar led Olaf to the destination. The small town was located on the mountainside.

It is raining and snowing in the sky, washing the towering mountains. They are the natural barrier between the Freljord and the power of Demacia. The mountains separate the two completely different civilizations.

The sleet in winter makes people feel colder than pure snow. Coupled with the high altitude, Lothar feels a little difficult to breathe, but Olaf seems to be completely unaffected like a normal person.

“I really don’t know what kind of monster he is. It’s obviously not of ice blood…” Lothar couldn’t understand why Olaf wasn’t afraid of the cold. He could only lament the injustice of the gods for not giving Lothar a good physique.

“If there really is a god…” Lothar put aside his messy thoughts and said to Olaf, “After entering, leave all the conversations to me. Don’t say anything, just follow me.”

“Understood, Rory is talking too much.” Olaf muttered, “Tell me again, what’s the name of that broken town?”

“The last time I came was four or five years ago. If I remember correctly…” Lothar said, “It should be called Fossbarrow.”

—————————————————————————————————————

The small town of Fossbarrow is located in the far northwest of the Demacia territory, bordering the Freljord. He named the town after Foss Ian Crownguard. According to legend, Foss Ian Crownguard once fought with a demon, and finally died in a heroic battle, and was dubbed the “fearless hero of light”. To commemorate him, later generations named the place where he fought the demon as Fossbarrow.
