The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Seven hundred and sixty-fourth meeting between the two parties

“Welcome, all beautiful ladies, to join this dinner.” Swain sat on the main seat, wearing a white dress that didn’t match him at all, and addressed everyone.

This dinner was as promised by Swain. Except for the Lothar people, no other people joined in. There was only one waitress standing behind Swain, responsible for translation and pouring wine for everyone.

Ashe and the others don’t seem to like the extremely luxurious dinner party style of Noxus very much. Even the exotic flowers and porcelain decorations on the table can attract their curiosity.

“Let’s stop talking nonsense and serve the food.” Lothar had no intention of being courteous to Swain.

Swain was not annoyed, and snapped his fingers, and the waitress beside him began to pour wine for everyone.

“You all come from different places.” Swain explained with a smile, “So I don’t know [source; source group]: 9? 8; 0; 2?. 0′. 5,, 8″5. ;6 Prepare everyone’s hometown wine, but a little Noxus local beer wine, I hope you like it. ”

Ashe smiled politely at Swain. Among the girls, Syndra and Nami were only interested in what was in the cup. Diana was still as lonely as before, as if she didn’t exist in this world. Only Ashe was there Look at Swain, the supreme power in Noxus.

“Noxus… I heard that it has been at war with the Claw of Winter…” Ashe thought to herself, her Avarosa tribe is located in the west of the Freljord, far from Noxus. Si is far away, so there is no direct conflict, but Sejuani’s Winter’s Claw is directly bordering Noxus.

According to rumors, Noxus is a military country that is very keen on external expansion, and the Winter’s Claw is notoriously warlike, so Ashe has heard passing traveling merchants talk about Noxus every year since he was a child. The thing about Texas and the Winter’s Claws war.

Ashe’s dream is to realize the great unification of the Freljord. The three tribes, Avarosa, Winter’s Claw, and Frostguard, are no longer enemies of each other, but unite.

This used to be an unattainable dream, but because of the appearance of Lothar, this dream is now possible. Ashe can’t help thinking, if the Freljord is really unified in the future, how to deal with Nok SARS?

Ashe felt that she might be able to find the answer today. There are not many opportunities to have dinner with the highest authority in Noxus.

Just when Ashe was going to find an opportunity to ask the waitress to translate for herself, communicate with Swain, and ask him what he thinks about the Freljord, Swain suddenly raised his hand and said: “The first dish .”

The appetizers were served, and the moment the lid was opened, all the girls’ eyes lit up.

A dish of smoked duck breast served with vinegar jelly and seasonal vegetables.

“Snowgrass is picked in the wild in the Freljord, the duck meat is green duck from Ionia, the seasonal vegetables include ganoderma grass from the mountains and nine-tailed seaweed from the deep sea, and it is paired with the classic Noxus vinegar Seasoned with jelly.” The waitress introduced the dish to everyone in various languages ​​in a respectful tone.

Lothar couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. He looked at Swain: “You must [source; source group]: 9? 8; 0; 2?. 0′. 5,, 8″5. ;6 prepared? ”

Swain smiled slightly: “I just think that if you come from all over the world, entertaining you with traditional Noxus dishes may not suit your tastes, so let the back chef prepare [source; group]: 9? 8; 0 ;2?.0′.5,,8’5. ;6 Be prepared to have local characteristics. ”

“Thank you.” Ashe couldn’t help but admire Swain. As a leader, she felt that she might have a lot to learn from Swain.

“You don’t need to thank him. As the master, he should do this.” Lothar didn’t mean to thank him at all, and directly picked up the knife and fork and ate.

“Knives and forks…” Ashe looked at the tableware in hand with some embarrassment, she didn’t quite know how to use it.

“Miss, please let me come.” The waitress knows how to read words and expressions, she immediately came to Ashe who can’t eat with a knife and fork, and after helping her cut all the dishes, “Please eat directly with a fork. ”

“thanks. “Ash has never enjoyed this kind of service before, and is very surprised.

“Sure enough, it’s right to come out of the Freljord. You can see a lot of things.” Ashe said, “I originally thought that Noxus people only knew how to fight.”

Swain said with a smile: “I used to think that the Freljord was a barbarian who drank blood, but now that I saw Miss Ashe, I realized that there is such a beautiful fairy in the Freljord, and her identity is still Ava Rosa’s war mother is really a strange woman with both beauty and strength.”

“Ah?” How did Ashe understand the flattery of Noxus nobles, and she didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

Lothar rolled his eyes: “Okay, Swain, stop playing that glib joke, my wife doesn’t know how, she just wants to ask how you treat the Freljord in the future.”

Ashe immediately shook off the embarrassment on her face, it was about her people, she had to listen carefully to Swain’s words.

Swain smiled at Ashe: “Personally, I have no interest in the land of the Freljord. With all due respect, it’s too cold and barren there.”

Ashe nodded in agreement. After leaving the Freljord, every piece of land she saw was much richer than her own homeland: “But such a barren land has bred the strongest warriors, the most steadfast people and The most tested civilization.”

“That’s right.” Swain took a bite of the duck breast lightly, “The Freljords are very difficult to fight, they are not as loose as the Shurima, and they don’t know how to advance and retreat like the Demacians. , not like the Ionians who have forgotten how to fight…”

Syndra raised her head, with a hint of displeasure on her face. Although she hated Ionia very much, she felt annoyed when others said that Ionia was not good.

Lothar immediately helped Syndra speak, and said to Swain, “Didn’t the Ionian people you look down on cause you a big defeat?”

When mentioning this, Swain didn’t show any displeasure on his face: “Indeed, that was the worst defeat in my life, but Noxus people are not afraid of failure. What they are afraid of is that failure will bring people down.”

“How did you lose?” Nami asked suddenly after eating the appetizer and having nothing to do.

“I was defeated by a witch, a witch who was only fifteen years old.” Swain looked at his severed arm, “This arm was cut off by her.”

“Witch? What kind of person?” Nami asked again.

Syndra also listened attentively. She had been sealed away for decades, but in fact she didn’t know many things that happened in Ionia.

“A Zanjia dancer girl named Irelia.” Swain gently shook the red wine glass, “She dances on the battlefield, and the blade dances with her. It is beautiful, but it is also very dangerous. When I calm down When she came, her arm had already been cut off, and my army was broken.”

Lothar took a sip of red wine and said, “It’s true that there are not many people who can defeat you, but what we are discussing now is the issue of the Freljord.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, people can’t help recalling the past when they get older.” Swain apologized,

At the same time, the second course was also served.

It’s a soup with oxtail and tomato in it.

“This is the traditional Noxus oxtail soup. It has been modified a bit and oysters have been added.”

The waitress introduced and added, “It’s good for both men and women.”

Lothar raised his eyebrows and started drinking without saying anything.

“About the Freljord.” Swain said, “Actually, I am not the only one who has the final say. The Freljord has repeatedly gone south to plunder the northern border of Noxus, and the hatred is deep. Although recently For a few years, because Noxus’ strategic focus has been on Ionia, it will not divide its forces to attack the Freljord, but after Ionia is completely captured by Noxus, I cannot guarantee that Frel Erjord is not the next target.”

Ashe thought for a while: “Then what if the Freljord wants peace?”

“That depends on how much sincerity the Freljord can show.” Swain laughed.

“Surrender and cession are absolutely impossible.” Ashe responded, “It’s the same with the confession. The Freljord only accepts equal dealings.”

“Let me tell you this, Warmother Ashe.” Swain chuckled, “So far, no country or force has been equal to Noxus, only places conquered by Noxus, and unconquered places.”

Section 497

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Ashe, who has always been very polite, began to look unkind. If this is the attitude of Noxus, then she has no intention of forbearance.

Ashe is unwilling to fight, but it doesn’t mean she is afraid of fighting.

“The people of the Freljord will never be slaves.” Ashhan said.

“Nothing lasts forever.” Swain replied.

“Enough.” Lothar interrupted the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, “Swain, stop making such jokes.”

Swain burst out laughing suddenly: “I’m sorry, Warmother Ashe, I didn’t mean to be your enemy. In fact, if the Freljord wants peace, Noxus doesn’t want to waste precious military power. Throwing into that barren land, if the Freljord wants peace, I will certainly strive for peace.”

Ashe felt a little relieved: “But you just said that Noxus’ diplomacy has always been about conquest.”

“That’s the old empire. The current Noxus is no longer an imperial system, but a parliamentary system. We will weigh the pros and cons in everything we do.” Swain expended, “The harm of beating the Freljord far outweighs the benefits.Of course I won’t do it, but…”

Swain paused for a moment: “But just like I am not the only one who has the final say on Noxus, as far as I know, the Freljord, it seems that you are not the only one who has the final say on Warmother Ashe. Xi nodded: “I’m trying to pursue unity. ”

“Then I wish you success.” Swain toasted Ashe, “May the future of the two countries be bright.”
