He Comes From the Void

The black ice hung between Kahn's fingers, exuding a low temperature hundreds of times colder than the surrounding cold wind.

The magic on the ice crystal is extremely ancient, it is primitive, fierce, and only part of its power has been released. The Warmother could feel its magic through her skin, and the thrill of that power almost made her intoxicated.

Foreigners want to offer this thing in exchange for not killing?

Attracted by the luminescent pendant, she got off her mount and walked straight towards Kahn. Then, she stretched out her hands to the cold ice crystals... Before her fingers touched the black ice, the cold had already climbed onto her hands, and the frost condensed on her fingertips out of thin air, causing severe pain to burn all over her body in an instant.

The war mother quickly withdrew her hand, and at this time, runes appeared on the black ice pendant. Thin lines were engraved on the surface of the black ice, forming the writing of the runes.

She clenched her fists and gave up her plan to touch the black ice. What happened just now made her confirm one thing.

Anyone who is a Freljord knows that the True Ice is part of the Frostguard's faith, and they regard the True Ice as a sacred gift of the three sisters.

The true ice, which contains the power of ancient elements, is harder than steel, and it will never melt. Even if it is placed in the hottest furnace, it will still be chilly. Even if it is only a part of the weapons made of Zhenbing, it is the honor of the holder and the great religious significance. The technique of making true ice weapons has long been lost, and the existing pure ice weapons are all sacred relics, all of which are inherited from ancient ice-born heroes.

A powerful warrior needs a powerful weapon to match, but not everyone is qualified to pick up the True Ice Weapon. Only the Iceborn can pick up the True Ice Weapon, and anyone else, no matter who they are, will be sentenced to death.

Ordinary people who want to hold such a noble holy object will experience such a situation, engulfed by the killing power of Zhenbing, and frozen into ice. Fortunately, even though the war mother withdrew her hand, no more ice magic entered her body, but even so, her hand was almost frozen to the point of losing consciousness.

And black ice is the symbol of Lissandra.

It is said that her magic is dark and merciless, dyeing the eternal ice black. Although the color has changed, the effect of black ice is the same as true ice, and the same detection method is still valid for black ice.

After confirming that the pendant in Kahn's hand was genuine black ice, the battle mother put on a dignified expression and re-examined the three of Kahn.

She gestured to the three of them to stay where they were, and then climbed onto her mount and returned to dispose of the prize.

Kahn and Kasha looked at each other, watching them help each other and put Ernuk's body on the back of the mount, and then it was their turn... They were asked to sit on the back of the white beast and follow the group of riders back to their tribe.

"I hope they can guide us to our destination." Kahn climbed onto the back of the mount and grabbed the gap between the saddle boards with his hands. Having spent some time in Bilgewater, he could feel that these saddle boards seemed to be made of timber removed from the hull of the ship.

On the other side, Kai'Sa climbed onto the mount with Annie on her back, and fixed herself with a rope, and the hunting team started their return journey.

I didn't expect this trip to last for a whole week.

Kahn felt extremely painful, no matter in what sense it was. These people have traveled so long in order to obtain food. When they crossed the snow-covered mountains, a sea of ​​ice suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.

"There is actually a flowing sea here, I thought the water was frozen."

It was the first time they had stopped all day, and the riders slid out of their saddles, stretching their backs and moving their numb legs. Kaisha also took advantage of this time and came to Kahn to talk to him.

"Sea water is salty, as hard to freeze as wine. And it's summer, so it shouldn't freeze, even though the Freljord summer is short."

"So, the sea will still freeze, right?" Kaisha doesn't know the reason why ethanol and salt will lower the freezing point of water. She only needs to know that pure water is the easiest to freeze.

"Well, it will be when winter comes."

After resting for a while, about the time Annie finished eating a piece of jerky, the riders continued on the road. This last journey took several hours, and at last they came to the shores of the Ice Sea, where the Horde of the Warmother was camped.

Several tents made of various animal leathers are strewn along the coast of the Ice Sea. They are more than ten meters high and look like a witch's pointed hat. The stitching marks are very rough and conspicuous.

The riders unloaded Ernuk's frozen corpse from the back of their mounts and dragged them into these pointed leather tents.

"I said, why didn't they drive the herd over here? It turns out that the hunting ground is so far away from the station." Kahn saw Kaisha walking over with Annie, and said to her.

"This looks like a temporary residence, but there are ships at anchor at the dock, and this tribe should also go fishing." Kai'Sa noticed that a dock was built on the coast, and was immediately surprised.

"When winter comes, the land and the sea will be covered with ice and snow. At that time, it will be difficult to find food. So people will try their best to collect food now."

"Oh." Kai'Sa nodded, probably having a general understanding of life here.

During the short months of summer plunder, warriors roam the Northlands, looting anything of value for their own use. As winter sets in, they anchor their ships and build temporary shelters, preparing to wait out the long cold nights until the snow melts again.

The three of them held hands and stood side by side on the edge of the settlement, the cold wind blowing non-stop, the snow here had already turned into ice crystal fragments, hitting them mercilessly.

"Annie, is it cold?" Kaisha squatted down, just at eye level with little Annie.

"Not cold, sleepy." Annie yawned, reaching out to rub the frost off her eyelashes.

She rubbed Annie's head, showing a bitter smile. The environment in the Freljord was really much harder than she imagined, and she felt wronged by Annie.

But Annie behaved very well along the way, without making noise or losing her temper. Kahn was also worried that she would vent her anger irritably and throw Tibbers out to hurt others. Unexpectedly, she spent most of the time sleeping, like a hibernating bear... No, it was a Siberian hamster.

"From Mount Dongthorn to the Sea of ​​Frost, such a long journey is enough for us to go directly to the Frostguard Fortress." Looking at the sea in front of her, Kai'Sa sighed helplessly again.

"You're not right. The location of the Frostguard Fortress is hidden. If you don't have someone to guide you, even if you find the surrounding areas, you won't be able to enter."

Kaisha heard the language she could understand, turned her head in surprise, and looked at the person who made the sound.
