Chapter 376 [0373] Avengers

From the perspective of the caravan owner, the four women gathered together intimately and seemed to be chatting happily.

But the actual situation is that opposite Lux and Ino, two extremely sharp pieces of ice exuding cold air are touching the lower abdomen of the two people. As long as the other party makes the slightest movement, the result will be life. No guarantee.

However, even though the situation was under control, Lux and Ino were still in a bad mood.

The two of them had set out from Bergun before, and spent almost half a year crossing most of Shurima, covering a straight-line distance of more than 10,000 miles - but even so, they still did not encounter even one. Sand pirate.

You know, Shurima is now fragmented and has no unity!

It's good now. Less than a day after returning to Demacia, the two of them encountered bad guys. When did the security in Demacia get so bad?

What's worse is that even if they are controlled by others, the old and the young still show no fear or worry at all - the way they look at Ino seems to be saying, "Idiot, our cause is just." , awe-inspiring and fearless.

There must be something wrong here!

Therefore, even if Lux and Ino wanted to directly deal with the two guys who attacked them, at least they had to find out what happened before dealing with them.

Did something happen to Demacia?

Lux habitually asked Kalya what she should do.

But this time, Kalya just told her to calm down.

"Believe in Ino, Lux." Kalya's tone was quite gratifying, "Ino is much better at this kind of thing than you."

……………………

"Do I know you?" Facing the hostile gazes of the two people, Ino asked calmly, "I don't remember that I have met you."

"Hmph!" the old woman snorted, her tone full of disdain, "Frost Witch's lackey, stop pretending like this, I'm all too familiar with the disgusting smell of ice blood on you!"

"The ice bloodline is correct." Ino was even more surprised, "But, who is the Frost Witch?"

Hearing what Ino said, the old woman curled her lips and had a "pretend, just keep pretending with me" expression on her face, as if she didn't bother to answer the question.

"Answer me, who is the Frost Witch?"

Ino moved his fingers, and the sharp ice thorns penetrated the young woman's clothes and touched the skin of her lower abdomen. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and shudder. Ino could see it clearly. , this old woman seems to be full of hatred for the Ice Bloodline, and she seems to be looking forward to death. She obviously cares more about the young girl next to her than herself.

Even though Ino is very gentle in front of Lacus, as Zaun's former secretary-general, in many cases, her skills are sharper than Lacus.

Although Ino doesn't like killing in battle, and her style mainly focuses on providing control and assisting, she doesn't mind taking some extreme measures when necessary.

Although the young girl did not speak, her suddenly enlarged pupils and subconsciously holding her breath still exposed her state. Seeing that something was wrong, the old woman could only reluctantly speak after humming.

"The Frost Witch is the Frost Witch of Freljord, the source of the Ice Bloodline." The old woman's voice seemed to be soaked in hatred, "Ten years ago, her lackeys took away my biological child. Now, Are her lackeys going to take away the children I teach again?"

"So you think that all the ice bloodlines are the lackeys of that Frost Witch?" Ino narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "Frost Witch, I seem to have heard of this name... …Lissandra?”

"Keep pretending." The old woman just couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, "Do you want to make fun of me? This is meaningless!"

"I really don't know the so-called excess of self-awareness." When dealing with outsiders, Ino fully developed the language style inherited from his teacher, "I'm not interested in playing with an inexplicable fool - what about you, little girl, why are you Attack me?"

"Evil mage, everyone will kill him!" The young girl said righteously, "You deserve to die!"

"Are all mages evil?" Ino was quite helpless about this hostile attitude towards spell casters, "Even mages who are not evil?"

"Only dead mages don't do evil."

Very good, this reason is very Demacia - However, Ino keenly noticed that when the young girl said these words, the old woman's expression changed slightly.

She looks...a little depressed?

It's funny, why is she so depressed?

Ino's heart moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand and put it on the old woman's shoulder.

The next moment, a thin layer of ice appeared on her body. Under the sunlight, the transparent thin ice mysteriously glowed with purple-red light.

The ice layer was so thin that it quietly melted into clear water within a few breaths.

Seeing this scene, Ino finally showed a subtle smile on his face.

"Are all mages evil?" She looked at the young girl again, "Are all mages unpardonable?"

"Of course!" The other party nodded carelessly, "The more powerful the mage is, the more he should be eliminated!"

"Including her?" Ino pointed at the frustrated old woman, "It seems that she has a close relationship with you, but didn't she tell you that she is also a mage? Well, looking at the Ice Color Atlas, she should be a shapeshifter?"

"Enough!" The old woman interrupted Ino excitedly, "Who are you?"

"Before asking me who I am, you should introduce yourself first." Ino, who finally found the key to breaking the deadlock, finally showed the gentle smile he usually showed when facing Lux, "Pay attention to your identity."

As if she had accepted her fate, in the unbelievable eyes of the young girl, the old woman lowered her head and told the origins of herself and the young girl beside her in detail.

……………………

The old woman's name is Frey, a Freljord.

The young girl's name is Vayne, a Demacia, and it was a murder that brought the two together.

The story started four years ago.

At that time, Lux mentioned the duel with Fiona. After the news spread, almost everyone in Demacia focused on the duel, and Vayne was no exception.

At that time, Vayne, who was only sixteen years old, was full of curiosity about duels. Although she was not from a noble family and her parents were not even born in Demacia, she still gathered outside the duel hall with many curious citizens after hearing the news of the duel, waiting for the first-hand gossip.

However, when she finally waited for the vague news and happily returned home to share it with her family, she saw only the cold bodies of her parents and a slender figure that dissipated into the air.

It was a demon!

Although Vayne's parents were settlers from outside, they had a lot of wealth and lived in the middle-class area of ​​Demacia. Under normal circumstances, the city guards would go all out when such a terrible murder occurred.

However, because the duel was so special, after Lux accepted the Stone Crown punishment, the city defense army was fully alert, guarding against the trouble that the Illuminati might cause, so the murder of Vayne's parents did not get a result in the end.

(Of course, even if the city defense army was free, I am afraid that this case would not have a result.)

Since the city defense army is unreliable, if Vayne wants revenge, she can only rely on herself.

With a large inheritance, Vayne first thought of recruiting a mercenary to serve her.

But the problem is that according to Vayne, her target enemy is the legendary demon!

For the Demacians, this is undoubtedly a task that "if it is fake, it is nonsense, and if it is true, it is very deadly", and Demacia's mercenaries, specifically bodyguards, which bodyguard would accept the employment of a sixteen-year-old girl to fight against possible demons?

Now, not only the city guards are unreliable, but also the mercenaries are unreliable.

Just when Vayne was at a loss, the city defense army finally responded - not by finding the murderer, but by finding her a new guardian through the Illuminati.

Vayne was a girl who was about to become an adult and had a large inheritance. Vayne had no idea that when she reported the case to the city guards, she had already appeared on the list of many ruined nobles. Many people would be happy to find a "child bride who can pay a large dowry" for their sons.

Fortunately, Vayne was smart. After being assigned a guardian, she immediately cleaned up her home to cash in some gold and silver, and escaped from the Demacia capital before being controlled.

Vayne wanted revenge, but revenge requires strength. She had to find a way to learn how to fight and how to track. Only in this way could she avenge her parents!

Vayne needed a teacher.

Swordsmanship was very popular in Demacia, but in Vayne's view, this flashy swordsmanship was not enough for her revenge. She didn't want elegance and grace, she wanted ruthless power and perfect revenge!

Recalling the stories her parents told her, Vayne's eyes finally fell on the north.

When Vayne was a child, her parents told her the story of warriors fighting against the Frost Witch in the north - they have been guarding their homes for generations and resisting the invasion of dark forces.

Although Vayne didn't know what the dark forces in the story were, she thought that no matter from which angle, demons were the dark forces. Maybe she could find a warrior from Freljord to be her mentor?

With this idea in mind, Vayne, who was only sixteen years old, sold a lot of valuables (she was cheated out of a lot of money), bought a set of thick clothes, and bought a ticket to Frost Harbor.

The ship arrived at Frost Harbor smoothly, but after arriving, Vayne found that it was completely different from what she imagined.

According to the description in the story, Vayne thought Freljord was a place where everyone was a soldier and everyone was always on the alert.

But in Frost Harbor, there are only people who make wine and collect furs. As the largest - or only trading city in Freljord, the smell of money here is far stronger than the atmosphere of adventure.

After wandering around Frost Harbor in disappointment, Vayne decided to go east to see if he could meet someone who could hunt demons to be his teacher.

Freljord in summer is not too cold, and Vayne met Frey here.

……………………

The first meeting between Vayne and Frey was somewhat awkward - the inexperienced Vayne stepped into the trap of the ice trolls and almost became the reserve food of the ogre trolls.

Thanks to Frey's help, Vayne survived.

Frey is a Freljordian who lost her tribe and family. Her tribe died because of the frost guard priests under Lissandra, and even her son was buried under a terrible avalanche. Like Vayne, she is also an overconfident avenger.

Vayne wants revenge on the demons, and Frey wants revenge on Lissandra.

Then, Frey, who saved Vayne, never expected that she just did a good thing, but was blamed by someone - after seeing Frey's skills, Vayne began to beg the other party to accept her as an apprentice and was willing to offer everything.

But the problem is that the money Vayne has is meaningless to Frey, and Frey doesn't want to deal with this burden at all.

Seeing Frey was about to leave, Vayne had an idea and proposed to challenge Frey to a duel - if she won, Frey would be her teacher; if she lost, she would be the bait, responsible for luring out the target priests of the Frost Witch, so that Frey could catch them all.

Her life was the only precious thing for Vayne at this time.

Vayne lost many times and was the bait many times, but even if she was used as bait, she still learned a lot from it and showed her amazing will.

The long-term day and night together made the two people with blood feuds approach step by step. In the end, when Vayne had some self-protection power, Frey, who had lost her child, softened her heart and agreed to be Vayne's mentor.

Vayne forged an identity of "distant relative" for Frey and made her his guardian. The two returned to the Demacia capital from Freljord and began a three-year training.

The training lasted only three years, not because Vayne had already graduated or had no financial resources to continue - they took so many supplies that might be used and set off to leave the Demacia capital this time, mainly because of the previous murder of the envoy.

Taric, who took the blame, suffered the Stone Crown Punishment and was spotted by the Guardian Aspect.

But in order to appease their allies, the Demacians did not give up the investigation of the case - after the Illuminati took action, things finally had some results.

Although they still didn't know who the enemy was after a long investigation, many of the clues they collected pointed to Fosbyro in the northwest.

After the case happened, Vayne realized that it might be related to the murder of her parents, so she kept an eye on the subsequent progress. After confirming that the clues pointed to Fosbyro, she and Frey set off together, taking all the things that might be used, and set off for Fosbyro.

As a result, they just left the Demacia capital and met Ino.

Ino's magic power is restrained, and ordinary people can't find out that she is a mage - but for Frey, her long silver-white hair is too conspicuous. Almost the first time they met, she guessed that Ino was of the ice bloodline, so she and Vayne did not hesitate to take action and wanted to take Ino down on the spot.

Then... they kicked on the iron plate.

Karya's small class · magic-breaking silver powder:

The rune stone after crushing and the mithril stone with the best magic conduction effect are crushed and mixed, which is the most common magic-breaking silver powder - it has the function of absorbing magic and causing magic short circuit, which is quite good.
