Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 202: The limelight is meant to be
Donna called someone over and asked Jinx to ride on Vana with her, while Li Ke and the warrior rode on the huge moose to the location.

Not all the warriors of the Winter Claw tribe went out. Many of them were left in the tribe to protect the elderly and children.

"They came from the bay in the east!"

Li Ke heard a Winter Claw warrior in front of him roaring loudly. He was a middle-aged man wearing only a simple leather coat, with his chest exposed. There were large tattoos on his bare chest, and two strange charcoal-black lines engraved on his resolute face.

"I don't know how those sons of bitches got here. They suddenly appeared in our territory without any sound. But, Mother Zhan, they didn't attack us. Our people are confronting them now."

The man rode the Frostwolf to Sejuani and spoke loudly.

"Yeah." Sejuani nodded. She raised her chin and pursed her lips to look at the mountains above. "We'll talk about it when we get there."

After saying that, Sejuani rushed to the front on her mount, and a group of people followed behind her, riding their mounts towards the mountains.

Ten minutes later——

Under the starlight and moonlight, torches lit up the white tundra. There were about four hundred warriors from the Winter Claw, more than half of them were riding wild beasts, and the rest were warriors who were originally arranged here as the "defense line".

They were holding spears or longbows in their hands, looking forward vigilantly with solemn expressions, but when the crowd parted and a figure appeared, the expressions on their faces changed immediately.

When the Winter Claw warriors saw Sejuani sitting on Bronzemane with her arms folded and her eyes squinting, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and their bodies instantly relaxed.

"Are you sure it's the Frost Guardian?" Sejuani reached the front. Li Ke was two body lengths behind Sejuani, and Udyr was a little in front of him.

Jinx was right next to Sejuani, curiously looking towards the forest in the distance, but on the Freljord night, the bright moon and evening stars could not illuminate the forest, and the distance was too far, so Jinx could not see anything.

The reason why she appeared next to Sejuani was because Dona was there.

"Yes, Warmother, we have confirmed that they are the Frost Guards, but they don't look like they are here to attack us." A warrior came up to Sejuani and spoke.

As he spoke, a look of confusion appeared on his face, because just twenty minutes ago, as one of the warriors guarding the valley, he was also the first to discover the movement in the distant forest. After sounding the alarm, he and his tribesmen went to the front line, blocking the Frost Guards while questioning their invasion.

Then he got a very strange answer, because the Frost Guard, who always focused on destruction and destruction, actually said that they came to the Winter Claw to find someone? They did not intend to be the enemy of the Winter Claw this time.

But, when did these guys become willing to negotiate? !
"What do you mean?" Sejuani was stunned. At this moment, she had already tightly grasped the shackles of the True Ice weapon, ready for a big battle.

Sejuani is a conqueror. On her road to becoming a king, she has to conquer not only the Avarosa tribe controlled by Ashe, but also defeat the Frostguard clan, which has appeared since ancient times and has survived for who knows how many years. She has also taken action for this and fought with the Frostguard clan several times.

Although she failed to gain an advantage every time and returned in defeat, Sejuani was not discouraged. Instead, she gained the power of the Bearmen. She had a conversation with the Bear Priest some time ago. Sejuani hoped to borrow the power of the great war bear spirit to break through the town controlled by the Frostguard Clan.

But Udyr finally showed up and ruined the deal.

"They are asking us for a man," the warrior replied. He continued, "They say it is a stranger who came to the tribe today. This is the order of their king."

"Outsider?" Sejuani narrowed her eyes and looked at Jinx beside her.

"It's a man." The warrior noticed Sejuani's gaze and said quickly, and then he looked behind Sejuani.

And Sejuani also turned her mane and looked at the black-haired young man sitting on the moose with a helpless expression on his face.

"What did you do? Why would the Frostguard clan send the Frost Guard to find you?" Sejuani said coldly.

Donna beside her was also stunned. She looked at Li Ke blankly and tightened the reins in her hands.

Donna is not stupid. From the words of the warrior and the sudden appearance of the Frost Guard, Donna also read a message, that is - if Li Ke really has dealings with the Frost Guard, then... she really brought a great danger back to the tribe.

"I have nothing to do with the Frostguard clan." Li Ke looked at Sejuani and shook his head.

With a bitter smile, Li Ke reached out to touch his hair and brushed away the ice that had been stained by the rush. Then, he said to Sejuani: "But I think they are indeed here to find me."

"Hey, I remember you told me that you are from Zaun and this is your first time in Freljord. But since it is your first time here, why are you involved with the Frostguard clan?" Sejuani asked seriously.

"You seem to have misunderstood, Sejuani. I don't know them. It should be said that they know me." Li Ke said, pointing at his face.

In fact, from the moment he entered Freljord, Li Ke had guessed that Lissandra would notice him.

After all, in the official description, Lissandra possesses a strange ability to enter dreams. This ability was not given to her by Anivia, nor by the Void. Instead, it was an ability that Lissandra realized in the long darkness after she became blinded after a battle with Volibear. She can even come into contact with the Void because of this ability to enter dreams.

In the official short novel "Dream Thief", this ability of Lissandra is described from the side. In the dream state, Lissandra is everywhere. She can enter other people's dreams at will to steal other people's memories in the dream, and even interfere with the other person in the dream, or even kill the other person in the dream.

Coupled with Lissandra's age and the fact that she suffers from insomnia, for thousands of years, Lissandra has been a human-shaped library, and her mind contains countless secrets of Runeterra.

Now that I think about it, Lissandra most likely knew about Leek's battle with Nagakabouros in Bilgewater and the commotion caused by his attempt to capture LeBlanc in Noxus.

But is the reason why Lissandra didn't enter my dream because of the distance? Or is it because of Janna, or is it because of the marks of Ahri and Kindred on Li Ke?

But in the end, Li Ke did not deceive Sejuani.

He is also a victim.
"." Sejuani looked at Li Ke in silence, obviously not trusting what Li Ke said.

But the next moment, Li Ke took the initiative to say, "I'll go with you to see what's going on, Sejuani. I'll prove that I didn't deceive you."

"Okay." Sejuani was no longer silent. She raised her arm, pointed forward, and opened her lips. "Go and tell them that I want to see their leader. Ask him to come out and see me."

"Yes, War Mother." The warrior nodded, then climbed onto his mount and galloped towards the forest in the distance.

A few minutes later, the warrior returned and said, "Warmother, their leader agreed."

"Wait here." Sejuani nodded. She looked at Udyr, and Udyr nodded to her.

And Donna was also chosen because she was responsible for taking Jinx over.

Therefore, led by Sejuani, the six people headed to the center of the tundra.

The warriors of Winter Claw stayed where they were, waiting for Sejuani's orders.

When we reached the center of the tundra, there was already a person and a non-human creature standing there.

A man wearing black armor and an ice crystal helmet, with a pair of sapphire eyes shining through the helmet, looked towards Li Ke.

The other party did not look at Sejuani, but looked directly at Li Ke.

Sejuani also noticed this, which made her very dissatisfied, and she couldn't help but frown.

The other guy was a non-human creature who was over three meters tall even though he was hunched over. He held a huge ice crystal pillar in his hand. He had an ugly face and a huge nose that was as big as a human head. His fiery red hair was flipped up, and his bright blue eyes were like a pair of lanterns, looking at Li Ke and the others dimly.

Li Ke looked at him and recognized who he was at a glance.
Trundle, the King of Trolls.

Yes, in the background story, a big reason why Trundle could become the King of Trolls was because of Lissandra's guidance. The relationship between him and Lissandra would be a bit like that of Lissandra's subordinate?
So it's no surprise that he appears here now.

"Frostguard, what's your name?" Sejuani held the reins and rode on Bronzemane to the other side. She looked at Trundle vigilantly. When she got closer, Sejuani could even smell the fishy odor coming from Trundle's big mouth.

The opponents are trolls, non-human creatures in the Freljord similar to the yetis. These guys may not be as powerful as the extinct yetis, but they are also extremely powerful creatures, as can be seen from their overwhelming height.

Bristlemane is already huge enough, but even when riding on Bristlemane, Sejuani still has to look up at Trundle, who is also a tall one among the trolls.

"The commander of the Frost Guard, Leanna Ula." The person wearing the helmet said softly. Her voice was hoarse and she sounded like a woman. A few tufts of white hair stuck out of the helmet and were blown by the biting cold wind. Her sapphire pupils looked at Sejuani. Leanna Ula did not retreat at all in the face of the majesty emanating from Sejuani.

After she finished speaking, she took a step forward, looked up at Sejuani and said in a low voice: "Under the order of the Eye of Lissandra, I come to the Winter's Claw to take him away." Learna pointed at Li Ke.

Upon hearing this, Sejuani sneered and lifted the shackles with one hand. The True Ice tied to the end of the shackles swayed, emitting a faint blue light in the dark night. Sejuani's voice was extremely cold: "When did it become your turn to be bossy, the Winter Claw?" "You are powerful, Sejuani, I am not your opponent, but in front of my master, you are not qualified." Learna said calmly.

Behind her, the sword she was carrying also emitted a faint blue light. This was also a Zhenbing weapon.

She stretched her black-armored hands behind her back and pulled out the blue broadsword behind her. The sword was larger than Sejuani's weapon and was made entirely of True Ice. The hilt was in the shape of a simple handle, rough but wild.

Regarding True Ice, some say that it is a magical ice crystal that has existed since the birth of Freljord, but a more accepted theory is that True Ice is a weapon given to the Iceborn by the benevolent ice crystal phoenix Anivia.

But no matter which statement is true, True Ice is not a magical device that can be used by mortals. True Ice has the ability to freeze everything, and it also has the properties of never melting and being indestructible. At least in Freljord, that's what people say.

As for Li Ke, Zhenbing would be melted and destroyed. After all, the void that was stirring under the Howling Abyss had already proved that.

"Are you provoking me?" Sejuani pointed her weapon at Leona.

Following Sejuani's action, the giant monster that had been silent before suddenly roared.

Amid the roar and the fishy wind blowing in his face, Li Ke couldn't help but frown. Jinx even started to dry heave and quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, then looked at Trundle with disgust.

"Human, surrender or die." Trundle pointed the huge icicle in his hand at Sejuani. The teeth in his huge mouth turned outward, and the sharp teeth were the size of a human fist.

He straightened up, took a ferocious step forward, protected Leona under himself, and stared at Sejuani with his lantern-like eyes.

Sejuani sneered and looked up at Trundle. "Troll, you have nothing to do here, or are you looking for death? I have killed many bigger guys than you."

"Roar!" Trundle roared and raised the stick in his hand, ready to hit Sejuani.

"Wait a minute!" Leona said.

Trundle stopped. All trolls were stupid and brainless, but Trundle was different. He was a troll with brains. He knew who gave him everything he had, and he also knew that the little man under his crotch was that person's confidant. Therefore, Trundle was willing to listen to the little man.

"Sejuani, he is just an outsider to you, insignificant, isn't he? If you give him to my Lord, the Frost Guard will no longer invade the territory of Winter Claw." Learna said in a deep voice. She stuck her sword into the ground and said in a deep voice, "I promise."

“No.” Sejuani shook her head. She looked at Leanna and smiled. “I won’t give him to you.”

He, he, and his. Leanna came to ask for someone, but she didn't even know Li Ke's name, which made Sejuani believe what Li Ke said.

Lissandra. Maybe she saw something again, or there was some secret about Lick that made Lissandra afraid, so she sent people here. Just like herself and Ashe, Sejuani and Ashe were also hunted down by the Frostguard. At that time, the purpose of the Frostguard killing her and Ashe was to help Lissandra cover up a past history.

Li Ke is the one who will bring countless food to the Winter Claw. Therefore, Sejuani will not hand over Li Ke no matter what. Besides, even if Li Ke cannot bring food to the Winter Claw, once Li Ke has entered the Winter Claw, he is the person she protects. How can she hand over her own people to the enemy?

Sejuani couldn't lose that person.

In the crowd, Udyr opened his eyes under his messy hair. He agreed with Sejuani's decision, and now, he wanted to help his daughter.

Because if it's one against two, Sejuani won't be able to win. That troll alone is enough to make Sejuani suffer a lot. So, Learna can be left to Sejuani, and the troll can be left to him to deal with.

Thinking of this, Udyr prepared to take action, but just as he clenched his fists and was about to call on the beast spirit to bless himself, Udyr suddenly turned his head and looked to his side.

"Hey, I've been wanting to ask you something for a while now. Lissandra asked you to come and take me away, and you kept asking Sejuani to give me to you, but didn't you ask the person involved for his opinion?" Li Ke got off the moose and walked to Sejuani's side with a sullen face.

Lissandra is a trouble, but Li Ke is not afraid of Lissandra.

If a fight really breaks out, not to mention that Lissandra actually doesn't dare to come out. After all, she has many enemies in Freljord. Volibear alone is enough to give Lissandra a hard time. Another thing is that Lissandra also has to guard the void and deepen the seal on the void at all times.

Not to mention that even if Lissandra can really free up her hands, Li Ke is not afraid of Lissandra.

It's true that Lissandra is very powerful. Li Ke guessed that she could at least be ranked in the top ten demigods in Runeterra. However, Ahri would never be worse than Lissandra, and he also had Janna, LeBlanc, and Swain to help him.

Therefore, Li Ke is not afraid of Lissandra. If he is not afraid, then if Lissandra wants to see him, why should he go to see her?
Don't be funny, Li Ke is no longer the Li Ke he was a year ago. After a trip to Ionia and Noxus, Li Ke's horizons broadened and he confirmed one thing, that is, he is very strong, really very strong.

Demigods are the ceiling of Runeland. Excluding the year of slumber, how long did Li Keyong use his soul lotus for? It was natural that he could only flee against a demigod. It would be strange if he could really beat a demigod.

But, below the demigod level, Li Ke can fight everyone except a few monsters.

Li Ke believed that he could definitely defeat superhumans like Garen and Zhao Xin.

Because no matter how powerful Garen and Xin Zhao are, and no matter how much they break through the limits of human beings, they have not become truly extraordinary creatures.

But Li Ke has already stepped into the same field as Leblanc.

"Now is not the time for you to show off, go back." When Sejuani saw Li Ke coming, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes. She admired Li Ke's behavior of not fearing the Frost Guards, but she then asked Li Ke to go back.

"You want me to stay out of this limelight?"

"But Sejuani, the limelight is meant to be created, not to be hidden," Li Ke said with a smile.

Li Ke took off his coat to avoid it getting torn during the fight, and threw it to Jinx.

Xiao Jin flexibly stretched half of his body over Wana's body, grabbed the flying clothes, and then shouted to Li Ke: "Li Ke, come on!"

Rick smiled at Jinx.

"You said it well. I like it." Sejuani stared at Li Ke in a daze. A rare smile appeared on her cold face. She looked at Li Ke and continued, "But Li Ke, this is not a battle that a guy like you can participate in. You outsiders are too weak."

"Weak?"

Li Ke was stunned and looked at Donna. Then, he raised his hands and said with a smile.

"Yes, Donna didn't tell you."

"Actually, Sejuani, you don't have to worry about me, because I'm a very good fighter."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he raised his hands and clenched them into fists.

"boom--!!!"

"Boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the frozen tundra beneath Li Ke's feet shattered. He then looked up at Trundle and said, "Leave the big one to me, and the woman to you."

"How about it?"

For a moment, in the center of the tundra, everyone had different expressions.

Jinx excitedly grabbed Li Ke's clothes with one hand and hugged Donna's waist with the other. She liked watching Li Ke fight the most, because every time Li Ke fought, she thought Li Ke was super handsome and cool!

This is her man!

Udyr had an expression that said "as expected" and looked at Li Ke with a meaningful look.

Donna showed an embarrassed expression. She forgot to tell War Mother about Li Ke. After all, there were only a few people in the entire Winter Claw who could hold down a Juvask boar with one hand.

Sejuani's ice-blue pupils contracted, and then she smiled.

She answered Li Ke's question with her actions.

"Gangmang, let's go!"
