Void Beetle Evolution Guide

It is precisely because of this unique personality that many people believe that she is the reincarnation of Avarosa herself, destined to unify the Freljord again.

"So, can I go challenge the giant bear?" Nila asked with a smile.

"Of course you can, warrior who has come from afar. No one in this land can stop you." Ashe paused and continued.

"I still have to remind you that you are challenging a giant bear that has been stabbed and stabbed thousands of times. It is the physical embodiment of the thunderstorm and a demigod that existed in the barbaric era before humans were born. Volibear represents all unstoppable forces and the wrath of the Freljord itself. Just because you beat me is not worth being complacent about."

"Thanks for the reminder, but the Lord of Pleasure is not simple either." Nila put her hands on her waist, her smile full of confidence. She did not get complacent because of her victory over Ashe, she was used to stepping on a few stepping stones before facing a truly strong enemy.

"Continue to go north, cross the Frozen Sea, and you will reach the hunting grounds of the Undying Thunder. But if you want to challenge Volibear, you must defeat the bear tribe under his command and obtain the Storm Emblem..."

"Storm Mark?"

"On the steep mountain path, there is a crest suspended in the air, branded on the night sky. In order to reach that place, many beast spirit walkers who worshipped the bear spirit and the ancient path sacrificed themselves and were assimilated by the bear spirit to become bear people. If you can reach there and see the crest, it means that Volibear recognizes you."

"I said that this big guy would only show up last. Who said it would be easy to see him just now?" Nila complained and glanced at Kassa, as if she was dissatisfied with what she had said before.

However, compared to other demigods, the giant bear's appearance frequency is already very high.

Of its two siblings, the goat has never appeared in the world since the destruction of Hearthland, and the phoenix only appears when Freljord encounters major changes.

Only in the case of the giant bear can one occasionally hear of it trampling on civilization and performing blood sacrifices.

"Warmother Ashe, it's nice to meet you. We still have things to do, so we won't bother you any further." Nila retracted her whip sword and clasped her palms together.

"Foreign warrior, I wish you a victorious return." Ashe nodded and asked the guards to clear the way to the door.

Nila signaled the members of the Dancing Tide to follow her and leave, but the howling cold wind outside pushed her back. She shivered and said, "Do you... sell any warm clothes here? I can pay for them."

"I'll have someone take you to find the hunters. They have the best Enuk fur coats. But coins are of no use here. It's better to trade them bartering." Ashe picked out a man from the guards and asked him to take Nila to find the hunters.

"Well, it looks like we need to go back to the Dancing Tide to get something."

"Or you can wait for two days and leave after the Harvest Festival. At that time, many tribes will gather here to celebrate the biggest celebration of the year. Whether it is fur or food, you can exchange all the supplies you need at the celebration." Ashe persuaded them to stay.

"I appreciate Warmother Ashe's hospitality, but it seems that others are not very welcoming to outsiders like us, so let's just say goodbye." Looking at the extremely wary eyes of the others, Nila was very self-aware and took the crew to follow the guard who led the way.

"Finally she left." Finally she didn't have to hide her identity anymore, and Saifei felt relieved. She had never been afraid of Nyla, but she had been forbearing because the Wild Hunt didn't want to cause any trouble.

After Nira left, Ashe turned to look at Kai'Sa and the other two who were still in the frozen shed.

"You guys, aren't you going to leave with us?"

Chapter 206: The Hospitable Avarosans

====

The biting cold wind kept blowing into the frozen shed, blowing off Ashe's hood and causing her silver hair to dance wildly in the wind.

"We are not on the same path and will be separated sooner or later." This was Kaisa's answer to Ashe's question.

Although she and the Wild Hunt were eager to see whether Nyra could overcome all obstacles and defeat Volibear, it was more important to take care of their own affairs at the moment.

"I just heard you talking outside the door. It seems that you know a lot about Freljord."

Ashe took a few steps to pick up the True Ice Longbow that Nira had thrown to the corner of the shed, wiped it and put it behind her back. She looked into Kai'Sa's purple eyes, her gaze filled with cautious probing.

You know, the towering mountains and steep cliffs of Freljord were scratched out by Volibear with his claws. These demigods are like creators in Freljord.

It is said that the power of God is unpredictable. Those mysterious Frost Priests may not know what Volibear is trying to do, but the purple-haired girl in front of her can analyze Volibear's motives so thoroughly that even she, the War Mother, feels as if everything is suddenly clear after listening to it.

Based on this alone, Ashe has to be cautious about Kaisa.

"It's okay, I just happened to have a friend here, and I heard it all." Kassa said casually with half of her face buried in the scarf, hugging her arms and expressionless.

She had heard all this knowledge from the Wild Hunt, but it wasn't a complete lie.

Kai'Sa does have a friend in the Freljord: Taliyah, who is also from Shurima.

Taliyah had been looking forward to going on an adventure with Kai'Sa, so at the suggestion of the Wild Hunt, she went to the mountains of Freljord to train.

In addition to seeking cooperation and helping Ahri cure her illness, the thing Kassadin is most looking forward to on this trip is meeting Taliyah.

"So what brings you across the ocean to the Freljord?"

"To heal my Vastaya sisters." Kaisa dragged Ahri to her, and the latter immediately showed a helpless smile.

"I have contracted a strange disease that causes me to become increasingly transparent. I need to go to Lu Township to find a beast spirit walker to cure me." Ahri said cooperatively.

Ashe looked at Ahri with her eyes as blue as the icy sea, and saw that her skin was indeed abnormally dull, as if she was about to disappear.

"Why go to Furnace Country? If you want to find a Beast Walker, the Avarosa tribe has one. Why go so far?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Warmother Ashe. Ordinary spirit walkers can't help me. Only the spirit walkers of the Vastaya can do that."

"Well, even I haven't heard of any beast walker who is a Vastaya... But the Hearth Town was destroyed a long, long time ago. Are you sure the people are still there after you went there?"

"Just tell us where the Luxiang ruins are."

"That's not difficult. So before you set off, would you like to attend the Harvest Festival in two days and feel the hospitality of the Avarosan people before leaving?" Ashe smiled and made an invitation.

"Promise her. I'll ask Talia to come over here. You can have a good time here before you go on your journey." The Wild Hunter suddenly said.

"With great pleasure. I also want to see the customs and practices of the Freljord."

After hearing the Wild Hunter's proposal, Kaisa, whose expression was originally even colder than Ashe's, visibly revealed a happy smile.

Because she was too happy, Kassadin neglected for a moment and didn't think about whether the Wild Hunt asked them to wait for two days before leaving because he had some evil intentions towards the young and beautiful War Mother in front of him.

"By the way, why did Ashe and Warmother appear here? It's a bit of a coincidence." Ahri wagged her tail curiously, still not understanding how Kaisa got involved with Ashe.

"Oh, actually it's because of the Harvest Festival." Ashe explained: "The Harvest Festival has always been the most grand celebration of the year for all tribes. It is also the last celebration before the cold winter covers the earth, whether in the north or the south."Mei I want to have you Kong Yong without Lin You Yong......

"The difference is that in the warmer south, people can store enough food for the winter by engaging in production activities such as farming, grazing, and fishing. However, in the harsh and cold north, people need to risk their lives to hunt in order to survive the long winter. So the northern looters naturally set their sights on the rich south, and the closer it gets to the harvest festival, the more we have to guard against their sudden attacks."

"The southern tribes are willing to form an alliance and join the Avarosa tribe. As a great war mother, it is my natural responsibility to come to Frost Harbor to preside over the Harvest Festival and guard against raiders who come ashore on wolf ships to launch a surprise attack. After the celebration is over, we can also return to the north with a batch of supplies, killing two birds with one stone."

Because of their different ways of survival, the powerful northern carnivores of the Freljord have always looked down on the producers in the south, viewing them as warm-blooded people who dig for food in the soil.

When food was scarce, they would rob the southern tribes, burning villages, slaughtering or enslaving villagers. They had no mercy on their compatriots, just like leeks, harvesting them one after another.

Until Ashe appeared.

She came from the north, but she never showed any contempt for the southerners. Although she was a powerful and arrogant Iceborn, she was very friendly and peaceful to others. Other barbarians only brought looting and death, but Ashe brought cooperation and development.

Ashe's political acumen far exceeds that of ordinary barbarians. When the northern barbarians were still maintaining the traditional nomadic model, Ashe had made Avarosa strong through the transformation from slavery to feudalism.

The rumors of Avarosa's reincarnation and her strong personal charm helped her gain the loyalty and support of the southern tribes. By uniting many small tribes to form allies, the Avarosa tribe quickly became the largest, most powerful and richest tribe in Freljord.

After expanding your power, you should consider how to maintain stability.

As a native northerner, Ashe knew very well the nature of the northern barbarians, so she used her tribe as a barrier to block the raiders heading south.

The raiders coveted the supplies from the south, but they could not go south by land, so they could only take wolf ships to break the ice by sea. Ashe had foresight and foresaw this, and personally led people to Frost Harbor to strengthen the defense and host the celebration.

The Sentinel Eagle she brought with her patrolled the sea surface 24 hours a day, and naturally discovered the approach of the Dance of Tide at the first time. The encounter with Kassadin and the others naturally became reasonable and not a coincidence.

"So it's just that we came at a lucky time, just in time for the Harvest Festival. Otherwise, we wouldn't have met Ashe and the Warmother..." Ahri tilted her head and poked her cheek with her fingers, thinking.

"Well, it is."

Chapter 207: Drunken Owl Restaurant

===============================

After the little incident in the shed, Ash left.

In the two days leading up to the celebration, tribes large and small arrived one after another. Ashe was busy meeting them and had no time to take care of Kassadin and the others.

They just walked around the town by themselves. The sky darkened quickly in the Freljord. It was completely dark in a short while, and the light snow seemed to be getting heavier.

To avoid the snow, the three found an old building. The house was made of brick and stone, and the lights were on. From time to time, there were sounds of booing and clinking glasses.

"It looks like a pub. Do you want to go in and have a drink?" Kassa smelled the alcohol in the air and turned around to ask the other two.

"Then you must try a glass. It's just right to warm your body." Hearing that there was wine to drink, Saifei licked her lips and her eyes lit up.

"Sure, but I have to ask the boss first if he accepts coins... I think he does, otherwise it would be weird if everyone were to exchange things for alcohol." Ahri doesn't have as big of an alcohol addiction as Saifei. Although she can also drink a couple of glasses, she prefers tea to alcohol.Mei I I Lin did not want to empty the song without the song...

As soon as they entered the tavern, the trio with unique painting styles attracted everyone's attention.

The tall and strong Saifei, Kaisa with purple hair and purple eyes, and Ahri with nine tails, look like a group that came out of a story, attracting curious glances.

"Hey! Are you here to drink? This exquisite old shop is the Zuixiao Restaurant! We have many stews and fine wines to help you drive away the biting cold, so come in quickly!" The tavern owner behind the bar greeted them with a friendly and kind voice, welcoming the three people.

He has a mustache, is short and fat, has a beer belly, and looks extremely friendly.

Kasa nodded and walked forward, and a strong smell of meat immediately hit her nose.

She realized that the boss had used the bar as an open kitchen and was standing there stewing soup in a large pot. A completely white snowy owl stood on the bar, staring at them with its surprisingly large and piercing eyes.

"Just sit down and take a look at the menu if you want to order something, then just tell me." The boss sprinkled salt into the soup while smiling. His infectious smile might be the reason why this pub is so popular.

He blew the whistle again, asking the snowy owl to bring a carrot, cut it into slices with a kitchen knife, and then poured the slices into the pot to stew with fresh wild boar meat. The aroma of the meat filled the air, and the smell of the meat came up immediately.

"Malt liquor or special blend?" Kassa looked at the wine list hanging behind the bar and was at a loss for a moment.

She had drunk alcohol only a few times, and apart from the mead she had drunk in Shurima, she had no other decent experience; Ahri, who liked tea tasting, didn't know much about wine. The wine in Ionia was basically flower-brewed rice wine, which was completely different from the wine in Freljord; as for Sephiroth, there was no wine to drink in the deep sea.

"Let's drink the special blend." The Wild Hunt said, "Malt liquor can be drunk anywhere, but the special blend is the specialty of every tavern. If you miss this opportunity, you will never see it again."

Kassa quickly glanced at the special blend column and found that there were quite a few types.

[Sunny Golden Port], [Karsten Flower Brew], [Sentinel Vodka], [Steel Potion], [Xun Hemp Wine]

"Wait, is there something strange mixed in? Iron Potion...it doesn't sound like a bar at all." Kassadin scratched his cheek. The name sounded like a medicine brewed by a witch doctor.

"You have good taste, customer. This Iron Potion is our store's signature product, brewed using the recipe of Master Brewer Gragas. It is not only able to dispel cold and strengthen the body, but even newborns can grow chest hair to keep warm after drinking it!"

"Huh~ Will chest hair really grow?" Ahri covered his chest defensively, his eyebrows twisted into a knot.

"Haha, of course I'm kidding. But having a bite like that in the snow will definitely warm your heart!"

The boss laughed, but no matter how he explained, Ali would no longer consider this wine.

Lightning!

"I'll choose this Karsten flower wine." Ali pointed at the wine list and asked the boss: "What kind of flower is the vine flower?"

"Oh, that's called Karsten... Flower Wine. Karsten is the name of the winemaker, there are no flowers in the wine. Sorry."

"..." Ahri was speechless. The only wine she was interested in was actually a fake. She shook her head and looked at Kaisa, "I'll just drink with you guys."

"I think the Iron Potion is pretty good. Maybe drinking it will really make you as hard as steel." Wild Hunter suggested.

"No, I'm afraid of growing chest hair. It's ugly!"

"If you have chest hair, I can help you get rid of it."

"No means no! Except that one!" Ahri refused firmly, with the fur on her tail standing on end.

"Give me a glass of Sunburnt Golden Port." Kaisa said. Just by looking at the name, she felt that the wine would be as hot as the sun, and maybe it would give her the feeling of being back in Shurima.

"Oh, sorry, we don't have any Sunshine Gold Porter here."

“Is it sold out?”

"We've never had this in our store. I can't afford to keep such precious ale in stock. I put it on the wine list just to make people think highly of it. Almost no one orders this kind of beer - it's too expensive!"

The boss is quite honest. It's obvious that they wouldn't be able to tell the difference if he used other drinks, but he still chose not to make money from it.

After listening to this, Kaisa looked at Ahri again, with an expression of sympathy and helplessness. Finally, the two of them looked at Saifei, expecting what she would choose.

"I want this iron potion!" the rebellious dragon girl shouted as expected.

After hearing this, Ahri felt like a weight was tied to her head. She smashed her forehead onto Kaisa's shoulder with such heavy pressure that she felt like she had lost all desire to live.

The three of them then ordered some stew to go with the wine, and then found a table to sit down. As soon as their butts touched the stools, the boss asked the waitress to bring a plate of sliced ham to their table.

"It's a tough world out there, isn't it? Consider this plate of appetizers a treat from Zui Xiao Restaurant."

"Thank you, you are very kind."

Ali said gratefully, but when he turned around, he saw Saifei stuffing most of the plate of meat into her mouth.

"Hey! How can you eat secretly? And you don't even say thank you to the boss!"

"Oh," Saifei responded casually as if she had said it before, ignoring Ahri as she continued chewing, there was no point in arguing with her.

"It's okay. I have more if you like it." The boss smiled happily. The greatest joy for a chef is the recognition of his customers.

The iron mixture was brought to the table by the odd job girl, and when Saifei saw it, she realized how little it was. It was packed in a thick flat bottle, with less than two taels, which was barely enough to fill the gaps between teeth compared to the full jug of red beer on other people's tables.

"Don't underestimate it, as long as it's a small amount, even an ice troll will be knocked over." The boss boasted.
