Legends of Runeterra

Although the black-haired, black-eyed stranger in front of her had a perfect appearance and figure, as if she was a creation of God, but as a war mother, Ashe was no longer the little girl under the protection of her mother.

After just a few seconds, Ashe quickly adjusted her mood and looked at Li En with her tough but gentle eyes that were almost unheard of among the Freljord people.

"Mr. Li En, how do you feel now?"

"I'm fine, Warmother Ashe, can you tell me how you found me?"

"Of course, it was a coincidence. When I was scouting for the team, I happened to find you lying on a huge rock."

"Is that so? Fortunately, you, Mother Ashe, have amazing insight, otherwise I..."

"No, even though it had just snowed heavily, there was no snow at all within a few meters of where you were lying, Li En. I...I saw it right away.

By the way, Mr. Li En, I see the scar on your shoulder is still there, is it because the medicine didn't work?"

"Uh... this is an injury left by a very troublesome guy, but it will only take me some time to recover. Warmother Ashe, you don't have to use those precious medicinal herbs on me."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

"Well, thank you again for saving me. Now I have almost recovered and my strength is still good. If War Mother Ashe needs my help, please feel free to let me know."

"Haha~! Okay, Mr. Li En. I'm not bragging, but I am the war mother of the Avarosa tribe. For the time being, there are no enemies in the land of Freljord that can trouble me. Mr. Li En, just take a rest and recuperate."

“Of course, I had heard of the Avarosa tribe even before I came to the Freljord.”

"Well, Mr. Li En, you continue to rest. I still have things to take care of."

"Okay, Ashe, please go ahead."

Nodding to Li En, Ashe turned and left the tent.

Ashe came here specially, on the one hand to check on Li En's recovery, and on the other hand to conduct a basic assessment of Li En.

Although Ashe is known for her kindness in the Freljord, she is not the kind of person who spreads kindness without any principles.

She was the one who brought Li En back, and considering the extremely incredible scene in the snow and ice, it was natural for her to investigate it personally.

The good news is that from this brief exchange, it seems that this stranger named Li En, although hiding some things, is generally a good person.

Ashe, who has led Avarosa step by step to its current state, is confident that she will not be wrong about this.

After War Mother Ashe left for a while, the curtain of the tent was lifted again, and the girl named Tasha walked in again with her head lowered.

"Hello, if I remember correctly, your name is Tasha, right? Thank you very much for taking care of me these days."

"You're...you're welcome, Mr. Li...Li En."

Whether in Freljord or other regions, the shyness of girls is still surprisingly similar.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"Um...Mr. Li En, do you need something to eat? I'll bring it to you."

"Thank you, but I'm not hungry yet."

"Okay... Also, we're going to be on the road in an hour, Mr. Li En, can you let me pack up the tent?"

"Of course, and you don't have to be so restrained. Just call me Li En."

"Okay...Leen."

Under Li En's gentle attitude, Tasha's shyness finally dissipated slowly, and her drooped head finally raised a little.

After a slight bow, Tasha began to clean up skillfully.

Seeing the busy girl, Li En beside him also rolled up his sleeves.

"Tasha, let me help too."

"Ah? No...No need, Li En."

"It's okay. Thanks to your care, I've almost recovered now. There are so many things, so let me do my part."

"Well... okay, thank you Li En."

"You're welcome."

With Li En's joining, the cleaning progress doubled.

After packing up, Li En lifted up the animal skin blanket and started to fold it.

"Huh? This is..."

Looking at the exquisite black and blue fabric embroidered with gold edges spread on the bed, Li En's eyes flashed with surprise.

Li En, who had just met War Mother Ashe, recognized at a glance that this was the cloak that the other party was wearing.

"This... This is the cloak of the War Mother. When the War Mother brought you back, she used the cloak to protect you from the wind and snow..."

"I see. I'm really sorry to trouble Mother Zhan."

Seeing Tasha's face blush again, Li En nodded and decisively did not go into the topic further.

Although the other party's words were very tactful, Li En knew that those ordinary clothes could not survive the battle with Volibear.

The so-called shielding from the wind and snow was just a euphemism Tasha used to avoid embarrassing him. The real situation was...

'No wonder Ashe looked like that when we first met...'

...

“Click~Click~!”

The team marched on the rugged snow-covered road, with huge, domesticated camels leading the way in the front and armored warriors protecting them on both sides and behind.

In the center of the team, Li En, the injured soldier, was sitting in the car with Tasha, who was responsible for taking care of him.

Apart from taking a sneak peek, the girl spent most of her time looking at the figure at the front of the team, holding a longbow made entirely of pure ice in the biting cold wind.

"Tasha, you seem to admire your War Mother very much."

"Well, of course!"

Tasha turned her head and answered without hesitation. After looking into Li En's dark eyes, her face, which was reddened by the cold wind, became even redder, and she quickly looked away.

"Oh? Although I have heard a little about Warmother Ashe's deeds, I still want to hear the true side of it. Tasha, can you tell me about it?"

“Yeah, sure.

War Mother Ashe, after accepting every tribe, never gave up on anyone.

If there were no War Mother, girls like us who are weak and have no fighting ability would have a hard time surviving in the winter when food is scarce, even if we were not abandoned by the tribe..."

Tasha's words might seem a little far-fetched, but they are true in the Freljord.

Although she and the other girls had slim and well-proportioned figures, in this permafrost land, the most popular figures were tall and strong, like Illaoi.

Of course, the Ice Clan is an exception. The ice blood alone is enough to make people ignore all external conditions.

"Well, War Mother Ashe is indeed a great War Mother."

"Yes, Li En, the tribe often says that Warmother Ashe is the reincarnation of Avarosa, one of the three ice sisters.

In fact, in my opinion, Ashe Warmother will definitely become a greater existence in the future."

The girl whispered her thoughts, staring at the figure at the front of the team, her eyes filled with admiration.

But it seemed that the gaze behind her was too intense, so Ashe turned around to look at its source.

After seeing Li En and Tasha, his brows, which were slightly wrinkled by the wind and snow, relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.

Tasha waved happily, and Li En smiled and nodded in greeting.
