He Comes From the Void

"Which tribe do you belong to?" the old man asked first.

Karn wasn't from any tribe, not even a Freljord. Regarding this question, he could only vaguely say: "Old man, we are from the north and want to seek refuge with Warmother Ashe, where can I find her?"

The old shepherd looked at them, but didn't answer. He lowered his head and turned his gaze to the poro, reaching out and stroking their hair gently.

Seeing this, Kahn had no choice but to leave. He didn't confess to the old man, and it was normal for the old man not to tell him the answer.

But he wanted to leave, but the group of Poro kept chasing and fighting around him, even grabbed his trousers, lay on his feet, and refused to let him leave.

The old shepherd laughed kindly: "They are hungry, and they are looking for what you want to eat."

"What do they eat?" Kahn took up the conversation. He had no experience in raising Poro, and he had never seen anyone raise one. It's strange that this creature's goofy appearance is so suitable for pets, but it hasn't become popular.

"Love." The old shepherd said with a smile.

"Love?" Kahn thought thoughtfully, thinking that the old man was playing some charades.

But after thinking about it for a while, he probably understood what the old shepherd meant.

The so-called "love" should refer to the taste, and he guessed that Poro like to eat food infused with the love of the maker. If he guessed correctly, this is a test. If he passed, the old shepherd should not make things difficult for them.

So Kahn turned his attention to Kai'Sa. There would be some emergency food in the package she was carrying, and there might be some snacks she treasured if nothing else happened.

Kaisha's first reaction was to hug her package tightly, but seeing these cute little guys with eyes full of expectations, she felt that it was worth making a little sacrifice.

"There aren't many things in it, so I have to find a time to increase the inventory." Kaisha took the opportunity to ask Kahn, confidently, and will return it to me after taking mine.

"It's easy to talk about." Kahn just wanted to pass this level first, those are small things.

She opened the package and asked Kahn to rummage through it. Apart from the frozen jerky and the candy that Kaisha would eat when she was in a bad mood, there was only a pack of biscuits that looked okay. These are some shelf-stable foods, and she should finish eating the ones that are not shelf-stable.

"Is this biscuit handmade?" Kahn asked, noticing that Kaisha was looking at him suspiciously, and realized that he had asked a stupid question.

There are no food processing factories in this world. Foods like biscuits can only be baked by people, and what he wants is handmade food.

Karn crushed the biscuits into small pieces and sprinkled them on the snow, and the poro crowd immediately ate them, licking the biscuit crumbs into their mouths with their tongues.

The two of them were all focused on the Poro, and suddenly they heard the old man say: "Keep going south, and you will see a large ice lake, where Warmother Ashe is camping."

"Lack Stark?"

"yes."

Kahn nodded. The largest ice lake in the Freljord is Lax Stark, and the largest Avarosa ice sculpture stands there, which is a place of pilgrimage for Avarosa followers.

Trundle, the king of trolls, also mentioned this lake. He bragged to other trolls, saying that he drank too much water and pissed out of this lake, which also meant desecrating the sanctuary.

After leaving the ranch, Kahn and Kaisha continued to walk south.

The cry of ice eagles came from the sky, and Kahn remembered that the Avarosa people had a tradition of training eagles, so he couldn't help but look up a few more times.

They passed through several villages on the way. Unlike the migrating nomadic tribes or the raiders who set up camp with the army, the Freljord people in the south would choose to settle in suitable places and build houses to resist wild animals. Located by the river.

Obviously, their direction is not wrong. These rivers should all diverge from the glacial lake. As long as they follow the river, they can reach Lax Stark.

However, it wasn't all a peaceful scene for them along the way. They passed a devastated village, houses burned to the ground, charred bodies buried in the snow, eaten away by scavengers.

Fires can only be man-made. Obviously, the looters did not let go of the weak after the plunder, and they did everything they could to silence them all.

Those marauders despise Ashe's behavior in the company of the weak, and they will continue to provoke the iceborn warmother.

Kahn originally didn't intend to visit any villages and went straight to the topic, but when he passed a certain village, he suddenly felt a familiar aura appearing nearby. This breath is not void, but...

"I feel the Eternal Flame, our acquaintances are nearby." Karn said to Kai'Sa.

"Is it Annie? They're here? Jax might as well, after all he's running around the world."

"Go and see." With curiosity, the two approached the village.

Due to limited conditions, there were no walls or fences around the village, so Kahn and the others easily entered the village. Following the familiar scent, they came to a small stone house and hid in the cedar forest to observe secretly.

There was a rhythmic sound of tinkling, tinkling, tinkling iron from the inward direction of the house, and the owner of the house seemed to be a blacksmith. At the same time, there was little smoke in the chimney, and there was a flicker of fire in the dim window. This was the hostess cooking.

With this information, Kahn has a general understanding of the situation in the house, an ordinary family, possibly with children.

After a while, the wooden door of the hut suddenly opened, and several children ran out from inside.

They frolicked and played in the open space, chasing each other, playing the game of war, slamming Fang Qiu with the present in their hands, as if they were the kings who had conquered by themselves, and the toys in their hands were brave and good soldiers, defending the kingdom and fighting against evil .

Kaisha saw Annie wearing a red padded jacket and holding a doll in her hand at a glance. She didn't join the boys' games, and sat quietly on the steps of the door, observing the surrounding movement from time to time. On the other hand, Nunu played very excitedly with the other two little boys, yelling quite secondary passwords, without showing what was in his mind at all.

After the children played for a while, they heard the mistress of the house shouting: "Come back for dinner."

The sound of hammering irons stopped immediately, and several little boys rushed into the house anxiously, but Annie was the last to go in. Before closing the door, she poked her head around and forgot about it, as if she was looking for something, and her eyes swept over them for a while. Here it comes.

"Annie seems to sense us." Kasha asked, "Kan, what are we doing? Why are we hiding behind the tree?"

"Didn't you realize that Willump isn't here?" Kahn continued to stare at the window.

The window was opened, and Annie stood by the window with a bowl in her arms, looking out while eating.
