The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Blood relatives

Lothar has already traveled the entire Shadow Island.

Karthus’s memory of Shadow Isle is clear and clear. After all, he has only been in Shadow Isle for more than ten years, and Lothar feels that he loves this land-this land of death, which is exactly what Karthus called A world of hope, a world without the noise of the living.

But the Shadow Isles were not perfect in Karthus’ mind. Too many dead souls had hatred for the living and an indelible obsession. This was not the attitude of the dead that Karthus had hoped for. The dead in his ideal, It should be the same as that girl.

Quiet, deep and mysterious.

Lothar finally stopped. Karthus had a lot of memories of Shadow Isle, and Lothar even knew a lot of secrets about Shadow Isle from his memory, but these things were not necessary for Lothar to fully understand Karthus’ death. no help.

The ultimate secret of Karthus is like hiding behind a layer of tulle. Lothar feels that he is one step away from fully understanding him, but he can’t take this step. Karthus has lost too much memory, and Lothar is very sad. It was difficult to control all his emotions.

Lothar stood there thinking for a long time, and finally turned his head and left Shadow Island, returning to him and the girl Qian Jue when he was a child.

This is the clearest memory of Karthus. There is no doubt that even the memory of Shadow Island is not as clear as this memory. Karthus seems to have deeply imprinted the appearance of the girl Qian Jue and Lothar as a child, not only He didn’t forget it deliberately, but tried his best to keep this memory.

This memory was a turning point in Karthus’s life. After Karthus joined the Kindred Cult in Noxus, he was originally just an ordinary congregation, doing some work of collecting corpses and burying them like other ordinary congregants.

But after meeting Kindred and Lothar, Karthus resolutely defected from the Kindred Order. He even swept through the treasure house of the order, aloneHe escaped from Noxus with Lothar, traveled to Bilgewater on the way, and finally came to Shadow Island.

But what exactly happened to make Karthus make such a decision, he didn’t keep it in his memory.

Lothar carefully looked at himself when he was a child. He was no different from an ordinary baby, with his eyes closed tightly in the swaddle, and he looked very thin.

“Was I so thin when I was a child… It’s incredible that I can survive in the Freljord…” Lothar has seen many babies of the Freljord tribe, and generally those born so thin can’t survive one Winter, like the baby Nunu he once helped deliver, is probably dead by now.

Lothar didn’t find anything special about him. He turned his gaze to Qian Jue. There was no part of the mask on her face exposed, only two holes in her eyes that were as long as hair, and she couldn’t be seen at all. What does it look like.

“Will Karthus see what Kindred looks like?” Lothar suddenly became curious. It is impossible not to be curious about the true face of Kindred, the god of death that the whole world believes in.

Lothar reached out to touch Qian Jue’s mask with anxiety. It was not the real Qian Jue in front of him, but Karthus’s memory. If he hadn’t seen the real face of Qian Jue, Lothar would not be able to see it either.

Lothar’s fingers lightly touched Qian Jue’s mask.

He touched it, the hard wood feel.

Lothar couldn’t help holding his breath. He hadn’t felt this feeling for a long time, full of excitement and anxiety. The last time he had such emotions was when he saw Anivia and the unidentified scarlet giant fighting in the sky.

Lothar grabbed the sides of the mask with both hands and gently removed it.

A very delicate face.

It was as beautiful as the night lilies and lotus flowers that Lothar had seen in Ionia. It was difficult for Lothar to describe her facial features. It was not a typical female beauty, nor did it contain any gorgeous colors, but it had a certain beauty. This kind of baby-like delicate and young, it is difficult to define how old she is.

Lothar was dumbfounded. It was the first time he saw this face, but for no reason, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he should have known her in the first place.

Lotha gently put down the mask. He looked into the girl’s eyes, but the girl looked at the baby in her arms. It was difficult for Lothar to judge the emotion in her eyes.

Lothar couldn’t help stretching out his hand. He wanted to touch the girl’s face again, but his fingers passed through without touching anything.

“It seems that Karthus only took off her mask.” Lothar felt a little regretful, he retracted his hand, and just wanted to see if there were any other discoveries, when the girl suddenly moved.

“You will grow up.” The girl spoke.

Lothar was taken aback, but he quickly realized that the girl was not talking to him, but to the baby in her arms.

“Is this… the memory of Karthus?” Lothar understood. His action of taking off the mask triggered this memory, making it proudly and completely displayed in front of Lothar.

Lothar watched this scene seriously, for fear of missing any details.

“I can’t stay by your side anymore, because you are already different from me.” Qian Jue said softly, the texture of her voice is very special, like the layer of glutinous rice paper wrapped on toffee, which needs to be carefully removed Listen to hear clearly, “We have to separate, but don’t worry, we will meet again one day.”

The little baby in her arms clenched its fists.

“Where are you going?” The voice was not from the baby, but from another man.

“Karthus?” Although this voice was very different from Karthus’s dry voice like a stone in a quagmire, Lothar could still tell that he belonged to Karthus.

There was some tremor hidden in Karthus’ voice. At that time, he seemed to be no different from Lothar in front of Qian Jue, excited and unbelievable.

The girl didn’t answer Karthus’s question, she seemed to only have babies in her eyes, and continued: “You will be alert and sharp, you will be calm and calm, you will be irritable and restless, you will be greedy and lustful, and you will be hilarious And confused, you will be miserable and painful… But don’t worry, this is all you, you have to experience, but I can’t experience it.”

“What is she talking about?” Lothar couldn’t understand, and what Qian Jue said didn’t seem to have much similarity with him.

Qian Jue raised her head. She carried the baby into the void. It should be Karthus who hugged him. Karthus said in panic, “I… what should I do? Where should I take him?”

“It’s up to you, take him wherever you want.” Qian Jue seemed to want to leave, but the little baby’s hand tightly gripped her fingers.

“Boy! Let go!” A snow-white wolf’s head emerged from Qian Jue’s cloak, “Let go! Ivy must get down the tree! Otherwise, I’ll bite you to death!”

“Wolf spirit!” Lothar looked at the violent wolf in surprise. Just like in the legend, Qian Jue is a twin. The wolf and the sheep are always inseparable. Only when the two are together can they be called Qian Jue.

“Ha… ah…” Lothar heard Karthus’s voice tremble more and more.

“Quiet, dear wolf.” Lamb put his hand on the wolf’s head, gently stroking the hair on the wolf’s head like he was stroking a puppy, “He will let go, he must leave us.”

“The cub that ran out of the belly of the seahorse! Find the seaweed yourself!” The wolf spirit growled at the little baby, saying an inexplicable metaphor. hostility.

Yang Ling took out his fingers from the baby’s hand, and the baby burst into tears, hugging himKarthus seemed a little overwhelmed, and kept screaming.

“The cuckoo must die!” Wolf Spirit finally said something he didn’t know what it meant to the baby, and then got back into Lamb Spirit’s cloak.

“Goodbye, I look forward to our reunion.” Qian Jue lowered his head and gently kissed the baby’s face, “You must remember the name.”

At the end of the memory, Qian Jue put on a mask and then disappeared.

Section 271

Lothar’s heart couldn’t be calm for a long time. The memory just now is already obvious. Unless Karthus has the ability to fabricate memories, it is absolutely true that Lothar is a child of Kindred.

“Remember my… name…” Lothar shook his head, “Lothar…life and death…wait…”

It suddenly occurred to Lothar that he subconsciously believed that Yang Ling’s last words were to remind him to remember the name “Lothar”, but Yang Ling’s last words did not say the subject.

Could it be that the name she wants Lothar to remember is not only “Lothar”, but also “Qian Jue”?

“Qian Jue…” This god is called by this name all over the world, but only in the Ouchen dictionary can the true meaning of this name be revealed.

Lothar seemed to understand something.
