Legends of Runeterra

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Brother Li En, are you up?"

"Come in Tasha."

As soon as Li En finished speaking, the pretty Tasha pushed the door open.

Compared to the past, the girl wore a new set of clothes today, with a gray and white fox fur collar wrapped around her slender neck.

Her fair nose was a little red from the cold, but the smile on Tasha's face never stopped.

"Have you changed into new clothes, Tasha? You look very beautiful today."

"Hehe~! Brother Li En, this is what Mother Zhan prepared for us.

Look at this fur collar. We sell the best and whitest fox fur to merchants, but this is the best we are willing to use ourselves!"

"Well, Warmother Ashe is very good to you."

"Of course. Ah, let's not talk about it anymore. Brother Li En, Mother Zhan asked me to take you to the festival venue. Let's set off quickly!"

"Okay, let's go."

When Tasha led Li En out of the house, the warriors around them who were heading towards the festival venue also cast their eyes over.

But when he saw Li En's black hair, black eyes, and particularly "weak" figure, he withdrew his gaze with a lack of interest.

Originally, they thought that this guy who had never shown up and was able to occupy a top-notch house all by himself was the warriors in the rumors.

But what happened was a frail warm-blooded man who was probably a businessman or something like that. The soldiers were either disappointed or secretly relieved.

Ignoring the various looks from people around him, Li En got into the car with Tasha and headed towards the festival venue.

...

Perhaps it is the last festival before winter, and today's weather is very nice.

The thick clouds were completely dissipated after being blown by the cold wind all night yesterday, and the sun, which had not appeared for a long time, hung high in the sky.

The pale golden sunlight shines down, bringing a touch of warmth to the city of Avarosa.

“Click, click, click!”

The cart pulled by the camel slowly slowed down until it came to a complete stop.

"We're here, Brother Li En, please follow me."

"OK, all right."

When I pushed open the car door, I was greeted by noisy conversations and a bustling crowd of people.

Around each entrance, there were tall and fully armed soldiers standing to maintain order.

Under their supervision, the crowd walked into the venue noisily but obediently.

"Come with me, Brother Li En. Lady Zhan has made arrangements. We don't need to queue."

"Well, there are so many people today. This is the first time I see so many people in Freljord."

“Hehe~! Right, this is the first time I see so many people. Although there were many people at the Harvest Festival in previous years, it was never on this scale.

This 'Battle Festival' has really attracted a lot of people!"

"Well, this festival will definitely be lively."

Li En's eyes casually swept across the crowd, pausing for a moment on a particularly tall and strong figure, then turned and left.

"Ok?"

Tryndamere looked up, only to see a figure disappearing into the depths of the passage.

Looking at the other person's simple yet spotless clothes, Tryndamere withdrew his gaze.

He was quite certain that he had never known a warm-blooded person in his life.

Holding his weapon tightly, Tryndamere quietly stood in line and followed the crowd.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance.

"Hmm? Wait, spectators are not allowed to bring weapons. Either you go back and put them away, or leave them here first."

"I'm not a spectator, I'm here to participate in the festival!"

"Then why are you huddled with the audience? Forget it, just follow him. He'll take you to the preparation room to wait."

The guard rubbed his brows. Obviously, this was not the first time that Tryndamere had encountered such a situation.

"follow me."

"Ah."

Led by the guards, Tryndamere walked into another completely different passage with few people.

...

Inside the circular open-air venue, there stands a circular arena with a diameter of several hundred meters.

On the surrounding stands, long tables made of logs are neatly arranged.

At the highest point, there is a single large solid wood table with rough carvings.

Next to each location, there is a blazing brazier.

With the almost full crowd, the entire venue did not feel cold at all, but instead gave people a feeling of being bustling.

"Brother Li En, this is your seat!"

Tasha brought Li En to a position neither far nor close to the main seat.

Compared to the stands for ordinary people, this position is undoubtedly much more spacious, but it is not awkwardly located in the core circle of the Avarosa tribe.

"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work Tasha, you go ahead and do your work."

"Yeah, then Brother Li En, I'll leave first."

"Ah."

Smiling sweetly at Li En, Tasha's slender figure moved nimbly between the long tables and soon disappeared at the backstage entrance.

Li En sat in his seat, quietly thinking about the figure he saw before entering.

'Sure enough, just as old shaman Ern said, the survivors of the Mountain Clan have come south.

Tryndamere... and the Darkin who caused all this - Aatrox, I hope everything goes well with this festival...'

...

When Li En arrived at the festival venue, the entire venue was almost full of people.

Didn't have to wait long.

"Woo~~!"

With the low and melodious sound of the horn, the noisy conversations in the venue fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the main seat near the podium.

The members of the core circle of the Avarosan tribe came to the long table one by one.

There are tall and strong warriors, wise old men with white beards, and the smallest number of Iceborn, the white-haired ones.

Six Iceborn stood in front of the long table closest to everyone.

At this moment, the horn sounded and stopped, but no one spoke. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the exit on the platform.

“Tsk~!”

The agile and graceful figure came into everyone's eyes, with long snow-white hair without a trace of other colors and a dark blue cloak with gold edges fluttering in the wind.

Her face was flawless, her skin was crystal clear, and her ice-blue eyes were firm but contained a determination and tenderness that embraced everything.

The most eye-catching thing is the longbow she carries, which is made entirely of true ice and is exactly the same as the weapon used by the legendary "Ice Sisters" Avarosa.

"People of Avarosa! This harvest festival with so many people is unprecedented. Fellows from all over the snowfields are sitting together.

With the same ideals and goals - one tribe, one nation, one Freljord!

Now we are a family!

Everyone, let’s celebrate this festive occasion!

Then, eat well, drink well, and have fun! ”

"Long live the War Mother!"

After a brief silence, thunderous cheers rang out.

"Long live Avarosa!"

Ashe raised the True Ice Longbow in her hand, and the crisp sound spread throughout the venue.

"Long live Avarosa!!!"
