Chapter 1006: The Legend of the Snowman
Jeno also hoped that the stories of Buffelson were all made up, and before he could solve the problem of the Watcher in the Wailing Abyss, there were a lot of tricky Void Behemoths, which were endless and really a headache.
He must ask Anivia himself when he has the chance, after all, she is watching over Freljord's frontier, and she must know what is beyond the frontier.
Bujelson continued, returning to Freljord alone in a small boat after his party was wiped out by the unfortunate rover. He made it to the Frostguard Fortress, but the Iceborns saw that he didn't take him in and drove him away. Then I came to a glacier that was inaccessible and heard strange sounds.
In the glacier, Buffelson came to a crevice in the ice with a strange sound, and saw a huge ancient snowman trapped in the glacier - it turned out that the strange sound was the snoring of the snowman.
The snowman was more than five meters tall, and only Xie Ding's head was exposed to the ice, and he slept with his eyes closed.
Instead of waking it up, Bujelson chose to take a detour, but unfortunately encountered another snowman on the other side of the glacier. It had jagged teeth in its mouth, a pair of shattering fists, angry eyes, and a loud roar that shook the trees.
Bjelson fled and eventually escaped from this dangerous glacier.
"Wait, I have a question?" When asked, Jeno interrupted Buffelson's statement: "I've heard that the yeti aren't extinct?" Why can you still meet a snowman? ”
"That's why he's making it up!" There was a burst of laughter from the side, and one of the drinkers told Jeno not to take Boyersson's story seriously. Apparently, they also believe that the Yeti is a species that only exists with legends.
"Old Boujelson can't answer your question in vain, Gentiles, I need some good. As you know, at such an old age, I obviously can't hunt, so I can only set a trap and hope that some of the snow rabbits with no eyes will crash into it. If not, then you will only starve for a whole day. ”
Buffelson's eyes widened, cloudy with anticipation, which made Jeno feel like the snow hare that had crashed into the trap.
"If your answer satisfies me, I'll give you this rib." Jeno tore off a rib with meat from the ribs on the table, causing Boujelson to swallow uncontrollably.
Hungry, he couldn't resist the temptation and couldn't wait to pour out everything he knew: "We've all heard of the Yeti, an ancient and noble race that once ruled the mountains of Freljord, but in the time of the legendary Three Sisters, the Yeti civilization was completely wiped out in a glacial cataclysm.
But few people know that there are still some snowmen who survived. It's just that they lost their magic in that cataclysm and became distrustful of humans. They live in solitude, far from humans, and furiously hunt down any human who trespasses on their territory. If the snowmen can regain their lost magic, perhaps their fury will be appeased. I wonder if you're still satisfied? ”
Jeno nodded and handed him the rib he had promised, and Buyelson didn't say anything, and immediately held the rib and nibbled on it.
Jeno couldn't confirm the truth of what Bujelson said, because there were some things he was right.
As far as he knew, the Yeti had been sacrificed to the Frost Witch, the only of the three sisters to survive to this day, before disappearing from human view. He also knew that a snowman with magical powers had survived, but the rest was not sure if he had not seen it with his own eyes. And the Yeti clan is indeed like a fierce giant, as Buffelson describes. Only a snowman with magical powers can change his appearance.
Bujelson wasn't wrong, at least Jeno didn't find a flaw in his words, so he gave him the whole rib.
Later, after telling him a little more about how he had survived in the man-eating trolls' territory and finally arrived in Frost Harbor, he drank the last sip of his glass and got up to push the door open and walked out of the tavern.
After Bujelson left, Jeno heard a few more things about Avarosa's current situation from other customers. For example, the Scar Tribe of the Winter's Claws has long sent rangers to harass Avarosa's territory, and recently set fire to a village in Avarossa, leaving almost no one alive.
Coincidentally, the Scarred Mother is the one-eyed Freena who made a deal with Silas and led the tribe to loot the city of Demacia's Miginous City a few months ago. Although he lost a large number of men, he quickly grew by plundering.
She herself has a great prejudice against the benevolent Ash, worships the swift and cruel Sejuani, and the tribe she leads is a great threat to the Avarosa tribe.
The drunken wine that had been drunk until it closed, and the group returned to the Abyss drunk to spend the night. There are no hotels or anything like that, so if you want to live in Frost Harbor, you have to get up and make a tent as soon as possible.
After helping the unconscious Syndra back to his room, Jeno went to the captain's room for a vigil, but he would not be alone, as Jana would be with him.
"Goo-goo-goo-"
The cold night of Freljord was filled with the howling of the wind, and the call of owls echoed in the night sky.
The sound was so close that it looked like an owl had landed to put on and take shelter from the cold wind.
"This owl is from the city, and it seems that someone is watching us." Cana said to Jeno that she didn't go and surprise it.
"It's just a small gesture, and it doesn't hurt." Jeno changed his words: "Why don't you spy on them too?" ”
Trust is not a cheap thing, he said this just as a joke, but he didn't expect Jana to take it seriously, and directly turned into a cold wind and swept out of the cabin, and it was too late for Jeno to keep her.
He smiled dumbly, shook his head and sat still, waiting for Cana's good news.
The cold wind swept through the dimly lit alley to the outside of a spacious shack, and then slipped through the gap in the window.
The torch hanging from the beam in the room swayed, and a white-haired Ash stood at the table drawing a map under a pair of antlers, while the bow of Avarossa, made entirely of ice, lay aside. Cana took a closer look, and the map marked the location of the furnace village.
Cana's proximity made the shirtless Ash subconsciously tighten her arms, she raised her head to look at the roof and muttered, "Does this house need to be repaired?" There seems to be some air leakage. ”
Jana was a little farther away, even if she was invisible now, she couldn't get so recklessly close.
"My Queen, don't you sleep so late?" A man's voice rang out behind the door, and Jana followed the sound as Tydamir pushed the door open and came to Ash's side.
