Legends of Runeterra

“Crack! Crack!”

The camel moved forward slowly, and after crossing the last snow mountain, the terrain quickly became lower and flat.

Looking around, a naturally formed, huge and flat basin terrain that stretched to the end of the horizon appeared in Li En's vision.

A rough and solid city built of rocks and logs.

The flag made of longbows and arrows fluttered in the biting cold wind.

When the team entered this area, their body temperature quickly rose and everyone on the march breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Li En, look, that's the city of our Avarosa tribe."

"Well, it's really remarkable that a city of this size can be built in a few years."

"Hehe~! Thirty kilometers to the southeast is our 'Sanctuary', where there is a statue of Master Avarosa.

Brother Li En, if you have the chance, you must go and have a look!"

"Sure, I sure will."

Li En looked in the direction Tasha pointed, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

This huge basin, called Rakstak, is a holy place in the eyes of all Freljord people.

As for why it is a holy place, the reason is simple. This is the largest area in the entire Freljord where crops can be grown.

The abundant yield is enough to supply any tribe living here.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, this place has been the place longed for by all powerful tribes.

Now Ashe's Avarosa tribe is able to occupy this place, although her philosophy is to unite and form alliances and accept all tribes that sincerely surrender.

But it is undeniable that apart from the Frost Guardians standing in the ancient ruins in the far north and proudly standing on this permafrost land, the Avarosa tribe already has the aura of being the largest tribe in Freljord.

This is also one of the main reasons why Sejuani would take such a risky action.

...

"Woo~~!"

When the team entered a certain range of Avarosa City, accompanied by the sound of a long horn, the heavy city gate was slowly lowered, and tall warriors wearing animal skin armor filed out one after another.

"War Mother!"

"Great, War Mother is back!"

"Ashe Warmother wins!"

Facing the cheers of the warriors, Ashe, standing on the camel's back, waved with a smile.

The hunted prey, the tribes who joined Ashe during this journey, and Li En, a long team slowly but orderly entered the city.

Compared to the rough roads that were barely trampled out by camels during the journey, the roads in the city are undoubtedly much more well-planned.

Although the gravel-paved ground is very rough, it is much more comfortable to walk on than the bad road where one foot is deep and the other is shallow, and you might fall down at any moment.

After marching in the city for a while, Li En and Tasha, who acted like maids, headed towards the center of the city under the escort of a group of elite soldiers.

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, although they have removed the symbols representing their past tribes and replaced them with icons composed of longbows and arrows.

But Li En could still tell from their armor and clothes that many of them came from different tribes.

Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone's face bears more or less the traces of weathering the hardships of life, but when they look at the flag fluttering in the wind, a sense of high confidence will naturally appear on their faces.

Obviously, Ashe won over both their people and their hearts.

After looking for a while, Li En withdrew his gaze.

The team had a smooth journey and soon arrived at a group of buildings that were also made of logs, but were obviously tall and magnificent.

"Let's go, Brother Li En. War Mother Ashe has already given the order. I will take you to your room."

"Okay, let's go."

Tasha nodded and skillfully steered the animal cart forward through the building complex. After a while, they arrived in front of a long house of considerable size with guards patrolling nearby.

"Brother Li En, this is your room. Although this area is used by the tribe to entertain foreign guests, there are guards patrolling at all times. Brother Li En, if you have any questions, you can communicate with the guards at any time."

"OK, all right."

Li En nodded and glanced around the house.

"By the way, Tasha, I see these houses seem to be occupied, are there any activities recently?"

"Yes, in three days it will be our annual 'Harvest Festival'.

Before the cold winter sets in, we light huge bonfires, eat our harvest and pray for the blessings of the Three Sisters."

As Tasha spoke, she carried the things down from the car and walked into the long house with Li En, who was also carrying more things.

"It sounds like a lively festival, but why are there so many guests?"

"Hehe~! That's because this time during the 'Harvest Festival', there will also be a grand 'Battle Festival'!"

"I see. So these guests are actually warriors who came to participate in the festival?"

"That's right, it's a pity that your injury hasn't healed yet, Brother Li En, otherwise if you went, you would definitely get a good result!"

"Oh? Do you trust me so much?"

"Of course! The scar on your shoulder must have been left by a very scary beast!

At first we wanted to clean you up, but you couldn't touch anything, so it was Ashe's mother who did it for you herself..."

Tasha said, seeming to realize something.

She hurriedly avoided Li En's gaze, and a faint blush covered the tips of her ears.

"Brother Li...Brother Li En, everything is here. I...I will go back and report to Mother Zhan first."

"Okay, please Tasha."

"Um…"

The girl replied in a low voice and then hurried to the door.

"Click~!"

The door was closed gently. Li En looked around and walked to the mirror made of high-purity copper ore.

He unbuttoned his collar and took off his upper body clothes, revealing the hideous bite marks.

Raise your right hand and slowly extend your index finger to the scar on your left shoulder.

“Sizzle~!”

The blue electric arc hit Li En's fingers, and a numb and tingling feeling came from his fingertips.

Although this little pain was nothing to Li En, sensing that the power residing in the scar on his left shoulder was becoming more active, Li En decisively put down his right hand.

"It seems that you are not a pure reckless person. You left me such a surprise at the end."

Staring at the scar on his left shoulder in the mirror, Li En spoke calmly in a low voice.

Since waking up, Li En found that his magic power has never been restored.

After an inspection, it was discovered that the culprit was the bite mark left by Volibear on the left shoulder.

Although it looks like just a scar, it actually contains the most original power of this primitive god.
