The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: The Man with the White Beard

“Tryndamere, why did you come back so soon?” The elder said in surprise when he saw Tryndamere come back alone.

“I met a child.”

“child”

“He said he could help us repel the Noxus army, just let us wait overnight.”

“Nonsense! How is this possible!”

“I’m willing to trust him once.”

A faint starlight flashed in Tryndamere’s eyes.

…

“I didn’t even know you could hypnotize people.” Lothar lowered his voice, protecting the little stubbornness on his chest, and quietly walked around behind a Noxus soldier, “That Tryndamere really believed that I could success.”

He stored all his bags in Zoe’s wormhole space. With his child’s figure and years of hunting experience, he managed to sneak into the Noxus barracks smoothly.

It should be due to the fact that he just won the battle. The clamor of celebration can be heard everywhere in the barracks. Except for the guards standing guard on the outside, the security inside the barracks is very loose, so that Lothar doesn’t have to worry about being discovered. The Noxians would not have thought that the barbarians of the Freljord, who had always been reckless, would sneak in.

Zoe sat proudly on Lothar’s shoulders, with her thighs clamping his neck: “Your sister and I are omnipotent! It’s too easy to hypnotize a person!”

“Sister, tell me the truth, have you ever hypnotized me?”

“No!” Zooey denied it outright.

“Really do not have”

“Uh…no…”

“Why are you hesitating!”

“Absolutely not! How could I hypnotize you, let you take a bath with me, and feed me grapes while singing and dancing naked!”

“You still did that kind of thing!”

Lothar tried his best to keep his voice down so that no one would notice him, and sneaked into the depths of the Noxus barracks with Zoe noisily.

The largest tent in the barracks was brightly lit, and two figures could clearly be seen inside having a drink and talking.

“They are the leaders of this Noxus army.” Lothar hid behind the tent, avoiding the eyes of the guarding soldiers.

“That’s right, if you kill them, the Noxus army will definitely retreat!” Zoe urged Lothar confidently, “Go, go!”

“Can it really go so smoothly?” Lothar was very skeptical. Although Zoe’s words were not very credible in his heart, Zoe had never been aimless. “Let me just trust you.”

Lothar reminded Xiao Jiang not to make a sound, then cut a small hole in the tent with a knife, and slipped in quietly.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Lothar smelled an indescribable stench.

“What kind of smell is this…” Lothar subconsciously covered his nose. The smell reminded him of spoiled goat’s milk, or Gragas’ underwear that had never been washed or changed.

Lothar quietly went around to the side of the big tent, and saw clearly the appearance of the two people who were drinking.

One is a lean young man with a fair appearance. Although he is wearing thin armor, judging from his body, he obviously doesn’t look like a soldier.

The other man looks very distinctive. He has a white beard all over his face. He looks quite old. There is a scar on his right eye. That eyeball has lost its pupil color, so he should be blind.

And there was actually a huge dragon lizard lying beside the white-bearded man. It looked ferocious and frightening. It should be the source of the tent’s stench. Its body took up half the space of the big tent. Lothar remembered that when he was watching the battlefield during the day, he did see a knight riding a huge dragon lizard taking the lead on the battlefield, killing the tribal warriors even in frontline formation. It’s not good.

The two were sitting at the same table, and the young man kept pouring wine for the white-bearded man to laugh with, as if he was fawning.

“General, this battle is thanks to you. “The young man laughed.

“I’m the colonel of the Third Artillery!” the man with the white beard corrected.

“Yes, yes, yes.” The young man filled the white-bearded man’s glass with wine. “After the army rests for two days, I have to trouble you to lead the army and kill those barbarians!”

The white-bearded man gnawed on a chicken leg, and said vaguely: “It’s a small matter, I’m here…”

Neither of them spoke Freljord, but Lothar was unexpectedly able to understand it, and he also knew what kind of wonderful magic Zoe used.

Lothar looked at the knife in his hand, and then at the ferocious dragon lizard that was snatching the chicken leg from the man with the white beard, and suddenly wanted to retreat.

At this moment, Zoe sneaked onto Lothar’s back: “Do you think you can’t beat me?”

“That dragon lizard’s teeth are almost as big as mine, how do you fight?”

“Then why don’t you see what they really look like?”

“The real look”

Zoe took out a blowpipe from nowhere, blew out a bubble, and placed it in front of Lothar.

Through the bubble, Lothar looked at the young man, and suddenly heard some voices.

“Hmph! It stinks! Is this guy married to the dragon lizard! Such a stinky beast is always with me, and the perfume on my body can’t be suppressed.” The young man’s scolding reached Lothar’s ears, but Lothar Sa didn’t see his mouth talking.

“This is his heartfelt voice.” Lothar became amused. She didn’t expect Zoe to be able to peek into other people’s hearts.

“Wait… so I can’t hide my inner thoughts from Zoe?” Lothar thought.

“That’s right.” Zooey laughed, “My sister knows everything you secretly think about~”

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Lothar’s forehead. He decided to treat Zooey better in the future, so as not to piss off this scary girl at some point.

With the help of Bubbles, the young man’s thoughts were clearly seen in front of Lothar: “But I’m really lucky. I thought it was unlucky to be assigned to fight the barbarians. I didn’t expect to meet such a ruthless man on the road.” People, help me achieve such a big victory all at once, send him away after the battle, and give all the credit to me when I go back, and I will definitely elevate my status in the family in one fell swoop.”

“So that’s how it is…” Lothar probably understood what was going on, and then looked at the white-bearded man and his dragon lizard through the bubble.

For a moment, Lothar froze.

Through the bubble, what Lothar saw was not tall and mighty men and giant beasts.

It’s a very short and furry little one, and a small dragon lizard that looks silly and keeps sticking out its tongue.

“Surprised?” Zoe giggled in Lothar’s ear, “He’s a yordle.”

——————————————————————————————————————

The yordles will disguise themselves as humans in most areas. There are various methods of camouflage. Some yordles rely on magic, some rely on technology, and some even rely on makeup alone to make the real ones look like real ones. Only in a small area like Ionia, where people are very close to nature, yordles are not good at disguising themselves.
