The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: The Laughing Craftsman

She looked at Poro, who squinted his eyes comfortably in her arms. The little guy’s expression was as comfortable as sitting in front of the fireplace at home in the coldest winter.

Lux has always felt that the light in her body made her suffer and made her feel ashamed to face her family, but now, her light is giving comfort and warmth to a cute little guy.

“Does it have a name?” Lacus asked in a low voice.

“There is a…Freljord name…Xiao Jiang…”

“Xiao Jian, what does that mean?”

“Stubborn…unyielding…little guy.”

Lux tried it out [source; source group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5,,8″5.;6 Pronounced the name “Xiaoqiang” accurately, but she still couldn’t deal with the awkward pronunciation: “Can I name it a Demacian? ”

Rorschach scratched his head and thought for a while: “It likes you…I think…it’s okay.”

“Really, I can really name a Poro.” Lux was so excited that she almost didn’t jump up.

She looked at the little Poro seriously. Poro opened his eyes, looked at Lux, and showed a big smile, as if he knew that he would have a new name.

Lux stroked Poro’s hair while thinking: “You seem to like to laugh…I’ll call you…Smilemaker…”

“Laughing Sauce”

“It’s a laughing craftsman, a craftsman’s craftsman.” Lacus smiled and corrected Rorschach’s pronunciation. “I told you, craftsmen are very respected in Demacia. They build city walls and weapons, which are the foundation of a country.”

She happily lifted up the little Poro: “You have to keep smiling, laughing maker, I hope you can become a smiling maker.”

The little Poro jumped up four short legs cheerfully, and his smile became brighter, as if responding to Lux’s expectation.

“The Laughing Craftsman…” Rorschach chanted his newly learned Demacian, and laughed like a Poro, “Good name.”

Lux hugged Poro again, fondled it lovingly, and at the same time approached Rorschach with small steps.

“Thank you.” Lacus could feel the breath of the boys around her, they surrounded her, she felt extremely at ease, but couldn’t restrain the throbbing in her heart, “Take me to see the joker.”

“You taught me… the words of Demacia… thank you…”

Lax buried her head deeply, one arm hung down, and her fingers slowly approached Rorschach’s hand.

Rorschach stretched suddenly, but Lacus couldn’t hold his hand, so she hurriedly withdrew her arm, pretending nothing happened.

“I’m hungry…” Rorschach patted his stomach, “Are you hungry?”

Lux habitually wanted to say that she was not hungry, but the feeling of emptiness in her stomach reminded her of one thing—she didn’t have dinner.

She didn’t want to show her ugly belly growling in front of Luo Xia again, so she nodded hurriedly: “Well, I’m hungry.”

Rorschach smiled at Lacus, “I’m going…to find something to eat…you stay here…wait for me…”

In Lacus’s heartYixu: “I’m afraid to stay here alone…”

“It’s okay… I’ll be back soon.” Rorschach took Lax’s hand and led her into the tent.

“Am I entering Rorschach’s room?” Lux subconsciously took a deep breath, the tent was full of Rorschach’s smell – the pleasant aroma of herbs and the unique smell of a young boy.

With the palm of her hand and the light from the oil lamp, Lacus looked around the tent curiously. Apart from her brother, this was the first time for her to enter other boys’ rooms.

All kinds of herbal pots and various hunting props, many of them are used by Lux who doesn’t know why, and she has never seen any hunter who would be accurate [source; group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5,,8″5.;6 Prepare so many things.

“He’s really amazing…” Lacus thought from the bottom of her heart.

Rorschach pressed Lacus’s shoulders, made her sit on the blanket, and then lit the oil lamp: “Here…sprinkle…herbs…to drive away wild beasts…stay here…safe.”

Lux closed her knees and placed the little Poro on top: “Well… I’ll wait for you.”

Rorschach smiled, teased the little Poro’s tongue by the way, and got out of the tent.

Lacus listened to Rorschach’s leaving footsteps until they disappeared.

Section 26

“It’s just the two of us, Joker.” Lux lightly poked Poro with her finger, and the little guy seemed to be itchy, giggling non-stop.

“By the way… I haven’t asked him about that yet…” Lacus suddenly remembered what Rorschach had said.

He has a girl he likes.

The boredom that had been suppressed in Lux’s heart resurfaced again, and Rorschach’s words kept lingering in her ears like a spell.

“Smilemaker.” Lacus said to the little Poro, “Do you know what kind of girl Rorschach likes?”

The laughing craftsman moved his chubby body and looked at Lacus innocently.

“Is she prettier than me? Or is she braver or smarter than me?” Lux squeezed the little Poro’s face, “Why does Rorschach fall in love with her?”

Lux asked earnestly, and the Laughing Craftsman looked completely incomprehensible, but it saw Lux’s loss, and stretched out its tongue to lick the back of her hand to express comfort.

Lax opened the tent, and after making sure that there was no one outside, she secretly said to the little Poro: “Joker, let me tell you a secret, you are not allowed [source; group]:9?8;0;2?. 0′.5,,8’5. ;6 Tell anyone, especially Rorschach!”

The laughing craftsman blinked his eyes a few times.

“I…” Lux took a deep breath, as if she was about to use all her strength to say the words, “I seem…maybe…maybe…a little like him…not like a friend, but… The kind of love that I want to be with him all the time…”

“Who do you like?”

“Ah!” Lax was so frightened that she jumped up, almost knocking over the entire small tent. The little Poro was also implicated, fell to the ground, and got up in a daze.

“Don’t be afraid, little girl.” It was the voice of a strange woman. She did not know when she appeared in front of the tent, and she was opening the tent with one hand, looking at Lacus with a smile.

“Who are you?” Lacus hurriedly picked up the little Poro, and looked at the woman vigilantly. After seeing the woman’s appearance, she was completely stunned.

Lacus had never seen such a beautiful woman. ————————————————————————————————————

I believe that no one will know the magical and cute little animal Poro. Although it is a unique species in the Freljord, it is strange that it can live well anywhere. In the world of Valoran Poro sightings have been reported everywhere.

The main value of the poro is its cute appearance. Many people want to keep it as a pet, but the poro is a very difficult creature to catch.

This is a bit counterintuitive, because Poro itself is not flexible, but rather clumsy, and they don’t have any magical abilities. I’ve interviewed a lot of hunters and they say that poros are slow and dumb, but hard to catch (which I don’t understand at all since I just made a random net and caught a bunch of them, and I’m pretty good).

The most mainstream theory in the current academic circle is that Poro may be born with some magical abilities, which can change their luck, so that they can get away with luck even if they are in danger.

There is also a more rational way of saying that Poro can feel the good and evil of human beings. If the person is kind-hearted, Poro will not hide. If the person is very dangerous, Poro will stay as far away as possible. .
