Chapter 671 The Secret of Frost Fortress

As soon as she entered the room, Sejuani saw Ashe sitting on a chair with a natural look on her face.

After taking a calm glance at the open bedroom door and finding that the bed was still tidy, Sejuani breathed a sigh of relief for some unknown reason.

Ashe noticed Sejuani's little movement and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Good evening, Sejuani."

"Haha~! It seems that I may have come at a wrong time."

"No, I was just wondering if Udyr didn't have time to notify you, and you just happened to come.

Although you are the owner of the house, please take a seat, Sejuani."

"Okay, and besides, it was indeed Udyr who asked me to come here. He said you wanted to discuss it with me first."

Glancing at the empty seat next to Ashe, Sejuani, who was near the table, turned around and sat next to Li En.

Seeing the smile on Ashe's face disappear, Sejuani's mouth curled up slightly.

"Since we want to discuss it, then I will..."

"Wait, Ashley, this matter is also related to you."

As Li En spoke, he sat down on the shorter side of the long table, exactly the same distance from the two war mothers.

"Oh? Li En, what you want to discuss is..."

"How much do you know about the Frost Priests, or the faction they belong to, the Frost Guards?"

"Ha! They are just a group of ice-fang wolves wearing camel skins. At first, Kojiya protected them, but when I challenged Kojiya to a duel to decide the position of 'War Mother', they killed her before I could."

Sejuani calmly recounted what the Frost Priest had done, without any anger about her own mother being killed.

Sejuani could no longer feel any attachment to this 'mother' who had abandoned the tribe and had never raised her, except for a hint of sadness when she cremated her and scattered her ashes from the mountains according to tradition.

"I forgave them and let them go, but if you hadn't noticed it, Li En, it would have been difficult for me to find out that it was the successor Frost Priest who brought the 'Lost Ones' to our land."

After Sejuani finished speaking, she looked at Ashe.

"I actually know the real purpose behind their hypocritical faces. When my mother was looking for the legendary 'Tomb of Avarosa', they were the ones who secretly contacted those tribes that had grudges against them or those that were prone to looting..."

"Bang~!"

"What!? Ashe, why didn't you tell me at the beginning?!"

When Sejuani learned the truth about Glenna's death, she was even more excited than her own daughter Ashe. She slapped the table and stood up.

“It was you who saved me from the death ice worm and brought me back to the Winter Claw. I cannot cause you any more trouble.

Besides, when I saw you, those murderers had already been killed by my arrows."

"Humph! It would be too easy for them to die under your arrows!"

"Actually, it's not that pleasant."

"That's pretty much it."

Sejuani glanced at Ashe and then sat back in her seat.

“So, I have been investigating the Frost Guards over the years. In addition to guarding the fortress in the Far North all year round, they not only recruit the powerful and famous Iceborn in Freljord.

To be honest, with the number of Iceborn in the Frostguard, if they had the idea of ​​unifying Freljord, there would probably be no chance for me and Sejuani to rise."

“They sent out frost priests to bring wisdom and healing to the tribes, and even built a village for abandoned children in the fortress to adopt those displaced orphans.

Leader 'Lissandra' is called a 'saint'. I don't know about the others, but what the Frost Priests did to the Winter Claw and the Avarosa tribe is really inconsistent with the image they have always shown.

Li En, do you know some news that we don't know? "

After Sejuani and Ashe finished speaking, they both looked at Li En.

"As you can see, in my previous conversation with Mr. Ornn, the 'God of Hearthfire', out of curiosity, I asked him about the origins of the Frost Guard and learned the 'secret' buried under the Frost Fortress."

Li En paused, and spoke word by word under the expectant gazes of the two.

"Their leader has always been 'Lissandra'."

"Everyone in the Freljord knows this. The leader of Frost Keep is..."

"Wait! Li En, you mean..."

"That's right. Although it is rumored that Lissandra is just the name of the youngest sister of the Frostguards who admire the Three Ice Sisters, as the name of their leader.

But in fact, the leader 'Lissandra' is Lissandra from the 'Three Ice Sisters'!"

"..."

Listening to Li En's story, Ashe and Sejuani were both silent, looking at him in disbelief.

after awhile.

"Hoo~!"

"To be honest, even a drunk Olaf couldn't boast like that."

"So Sejuani, you don't believe this news."

“No, because it’s you, I believe it!

That's the only reason you would specifically ask Udyr to come and remind me, right?"

"Haha~! Thank you for your trust, Sejuani."

“Li En, since Lissandra is the leader of the Frostguard, why would she do this?

As long as she reveals her identity, who in the Freljord would refuse her recruitment?"

Ashe, who had also come to her senses, looked at Li En with a puzzled look on her face.

"This involves the great war tens of thousands of years ago, when unimaginable beings descended on the current location of the Frost Fortress. In order to stop them, Lissandra sacrificed, or betrayed, her sisters and their gathered allies, and sealed them in the deepest part of the Howling Abyss, but it was only a seal."

"So what does this have to do with the Frost Priest's attack on our tribe?"

"This involves another legend and prophecy - 'Avarosa' and 'Cerilda' will return one day and unify the many incompatible tribes.

That's why, when your mother, Glenna, tried to find the Tomb of Avarosa, the Frost Priests attacked your tribe.

The 'betrayer' fears the return of the 'betrayed'."

"No, then why did she attack Winter's Claw? I'm not the 'reincarnation of Avarosa'."

Sejuani looked at Li En with some doubt.

"Besides 'Avarosa', isn't there 'Cerilda'?"

"Ah this..."

"The songs formed by legends and prophecies are not groundless. Have you ever wondered why your power is so great that even the famous Iceborn cannot match yours?

Although Avarosa and Serilda were frozen in the Howling Abyss along with the monsters that invaded the world, their spirits, which contained their power, returned to Freljord via the True Ice.

Now, perhaps by chance, or perhaps by destiny, the inheritance of the 'Ice Bloodline' is flowing in your bodies."
