Chapitre 234: -229- Two cops
A few days later, Ekko, along with Skite and two other enforcers, visited the Kolarisso tribe again.
After all, if they wanted to drink, only the Kolarisso tribe had a tavern. Within a hundred miles, Kolarisso was the largest tribe.
However, when Ekko and the others arrived outside the Kolarisso tribe, they found the Kolarisso people busy. They were even dismantling nearly half of the tents.
A sturdy woman in furs was waving a short hammer and shouting orders.
Ekko knew who she was. She was the chieftain of Kolarisso, also known as the Warmother.
The first time Ekko learned about this, he was surprised because he didn't expect Freljord to adopt the ancient and backward matriarchal system.
"From the looks of it, it seems they're leaving here?" the young enforcer asked aloud.
"We'll know if we ask Thores," Ekko replied.
The group hurried to the tavern. Upon pushing the door open, they found the fire in the tavern, which had always been burning, extinguished. Thors was packing up. Upon hearing voices, he turned around and smiled faintly when he saw Ekko and Skite.
"You finally came." Thores squatted down and took out two bottles of hot mead from his neatly arranged belongings. Standing up, he said, "I've prepared the alcohol for you. If you hadn't come today, I would have left these two bottles on the table. Whether you could get them later would have depended on fate."
"Mr. Thores, where are you going?" Ekko asked as he approached.
"Please forgive my abrupt departure. I haven't been able to repay you for that staff." Thores approached and stuffed the hot mead into Ekko's arms, then said loudly, "Our Warmother received news. The Winter's Claw is preparing for winter. It's ridiculous. A tribe that was once weak and oppressed has now become the most powerful tribe in the north. Now, they're heading south again. For us, we need to seek refuge with the Avarosan."
Winter's Claw, Avarosan—these words confused Ekko.
The Demacians didn't understand much about Freljord. Before they set off, they only said that Freljord had a group of magic users who often raided Demacia. At that time, there would be a strong woman riding a giant boar leading them.
Ekko thought that woman should be the Warmother of the Winter's Claw.
And Avarosan should be the tribe opposed to the Winter's Claw?
"I hope you don't encounter them, or it'll be as I said a few days ago." Thores reached out and patted Ekko's shoulder, his voice deep. "They'll burn you alive and hang you from a tree to show the might of the Winter's Claw."
After saying this, Thores stopped talking and began to pack up his belongings.
Ekko and the others knew that Thores was rushing them, so they took the alcohol back to their base.
Just a dozen miles from the Kolarisso tribe, there were several wooden houses. Not far from the houses, there was a tall blue building. Its outer layer was made of ordinary mud, but it emitted a deep blue color, the magical color of Hextech gemstones.
"Why are you back so early today?"
Ekko and the three enforcers got off the Hextech hoverboard, took off their frozen hats and masks, and Ekko stood there shivering.
Two male students came up. They were wrapped up exaggeratedly, almost as if they had wrapped themselves in blankets.
Supported by the two students, they were taken to the center of several wooden houses where a fire was burning. Every day, someone would pick up firewood and add it to the fire.
The enforcers around the fire immediately stood up and said loudly, "Mr. Ekko, Captain, did you bring back alcohol?"
"We did."
Ekko took out the hot mead he had carried in his arms. With the speed of the Hextech hoverboard, it actually only took a few minutes to travel a dozen miles, but in the bone-chilling cold air of Freljord, high-speed flight felt no different from torture. So, what used to take a few minutes now took over ten minutes.
After more than ten minutes, the hot mead Thors had prepared was now cold.
But the young enforcer was still excited and hugged the bottle, rubbing it against his face.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Ekko, while you were out, the reinforcements from Twin cities have arrived."
"How coincidental?" Ekko said in surprise.
Skite stepped forward and asked, "Who came? How many people? And where are they now?"
The enforcer holding the alcohol straightened up, nervously continuing, "A total of twenty-one people came, and the captain is....."

"This is the first time I've seen snow in my life. Honestly, I didn't expect that my first sight of snow would be this."
"Me neither."
"The guy who just flew overhead must be Ekko, right? Although that stinky kid is wrapped up tightly, I recognize his silhouette too well."
"Are you and Instructor Ekko close?" the tall girl standing beside her frowned, straightening her body and asking quickly.
She cared about this.
Vi, who was admiring the snowy scenery, turned her head and gave Caitlyn a big eyeroll.
Then, with a smirk, she said triumphantly, "Maybe in your eyes, he's the super genius who created the energy shield and Hextech hoverboard, but in my eyes, he's just the little lackey who's been following me around since childhood."
"He's like my little brother."
"In my eyes, he's just like Claggor and Mylo, my brothers," Vi said proudly. She didn't care what Ekko's status was. No matter how smart or talented he was, wasn't he still her little brother?
Just like that guy Linwin, no matter how powerful he was, so what? In Vi's eyes, Linwin was her brother.
To outsiders, Linwin the councilor was respected, feared, and revered.
In reality, he was just a guy who liked to ramble, sometimes like a nagging old woman.
Caitlyn looked at the smug Vi. Her nose was already red from the cold, and her beautiful wine-red hair was tucked into her hat, but there was still a small cluster of unruly hair peeking out mischievously in front of her forehead.
She was stunned for a moment but quickly regained her composure. Caitlyn turned her head and said, "But now, you're actually doing the worst among all your siblings."
"Mr. Mylo became the director of the Investigation Bureau, Mr. Claggor became the training instructor for the Enforcers, your own sister, Powder, even became one of the school dean, the head of Weapons Department"
"Her position and power in Piltover are no less than my mother's, but you..."
Vi's face fell, her beautiful eyes staring at Caitlyn.
Pot calling the kettle black.
That Caitlyn!
She seemed to have guessed what Caitlyn would say!
In front of Vi, the beautiful policewoman smiled with a curve at the corner of her mouth. Under her thick woolen hat, her blue long hair fell smoothly on her well-endowed chest.
Under the military green coat, her ample thighs lifted as she took a step forward. Caitlyn, who was nearly half a head taller than Vi, smiled and said to her:
"You're still just a cop, Vi."
Vi chuckled, then crossed her arms and said, "A big family doesn't make you anything more than a cop either, Caitlyn. So we're the same."
"Hmph!"
