Chapitre 307: -301- Scared by the box
"Everyone, leave."
Ashe lifted her head, walked up the steps, and said casually.
"Warmother! This, this isn't safe," someone exclaimed.
"We can't do that, Warmother, she's Vrynna of the Winter's Claw."
"Warmother, let us..."
"It's alright," Ashe smiled, raised her hand, and gently said, "Do you all think that I cannot defeat her?"
"Of course not." Froststone, who had previously shouted the loudest, answered immediately.
After this loving queen shot dead a giant frost tiger with her Frost Bow, saving Froststone from the tiger's mouth, Froststone knew clearly how powerful his future Warmother was.
The Warmother was the strongest person in the tribe, there was no doubt about that.
The Warmother wasn't just the Warmother because she passed on the power of iceborn to her children.
"So, stand down, I want to know what Sejuani wants to tell me."
"Yes, please be careful, Warmother." Froststone added, "People from the Winter's Claw are ruthless, cunning, and treacherous. You must be careful with her."
"I know, Froststone."
Soon, there were only Ashe and Vrynna left in the huge house.
"Speak, what did Sejuani send you here for?"
Ashe looked at Vrynna, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Sejuani..... This was the first time Sejuani had sent someone to her.
They were once as close as sisters, inseparable.
And now, they had gone their separate ways and become enemies.
This was certainly not what Ashe wanted. Just as she had said when she rescued the group of Hearthblood descendents from Sejuani's hands, she would always regard Sejuani as her sister in this life.
//// A little lore drop. The Hearthblood are a group of blacksmith, architects and brewmasters who travelled from different part of Valoran to follow the footsteps of Ornn and see Ornn as their diety.
However Ornn does not see these people as his followers but he loved these people because of their passion. Whenever the Hearthblood offer their crafts to Ornn, he would only give them either curt nods or frown. Even so the Hearthblood accepted it and continued to refine their craft. They created the finest tools, the sturdiest structures and the tastiest ale. When Ornn who value privacy, solitude, and focus accepted their presence, you can see how good the relationship between Ornn and the Hearthblood are.
But sadly, Volibear, like always, came to challenge Ornn and fought against him on the mountain peak. When the dust settles, Hearth-home was no more. Everything the Hearthblood had accomplished was destroyed and bone and cinders were all that remains. Nobody knows exactly how the Hearthblood perished, some says they were caught up by the battle between Volibear and Ornn, some says that the Ursine attacked them, there are many possible reasons.
Although Ornn doesn't admit it, he was devastated. Wracked with guilt, Ornn retreated into the isolation of his foundry and buried himself in his enteral work to this day.////
Ashe would never betray her oath.
"Although I have many questions for you, Sejuani only instructed me one thing."
Vrynna looked at Ashe calmly and continued, "Please take this Hextech phone."
She extended her finger and pointed to a small brown rectangular box tied to her waist.
"Hextech phone?"
Ashe frowned and approached Vrynna, saying, "I hope you won't do anything unnecessary."
"Don't worry, I don't want to die if I can help it." Vrynna rolled her eyes dramatically.
Looking at the Hextech phone tied to Vrynna's waist, Ashe reached out her hand.
"And then?"
Vrynna pointed, "And then, press that button."
"?" Ashe frowned at Vrynna.
She was getting more and more confused, and a sense of unease was rising in her heart.
But she still followed Vrynna's instructions.
Ashe wanted to know what Sejuani was up to.
"Press the first button twice, then press it again."
Vrynna said a lot in one go, and Ashe followed suit.
After doing all this, Ashe's brow furrowed even more tightly.
The young queen looked at Vrynna.
And the rectangular box in her hand suddenly emitted a "beep!" sound.
After the sound, Ashe reacted instantly, dropping the Hextech phone, she appeared three meters away in a bounce, holding a longbow and aiming at Vrynna's head.
"Calm down." Vrynna shrugged nonchalantly.
"What did you do? Why did it beep?" Ashe watched Vrynna warily.
"I told you, calm down." Vrynna sighed and crouched down.
Ashe immediately lowered the aim of her bow, once again aiming at Freyna.
"Still not connected?" Vrynna muttered.
"What are you mumbling over there?" Ashe, with her excellent hearing, furrowed her brow.
Her eyes and ears were much sharper than the average person's.
"Just wait, you'll know once it's connected." Vrynna said.
Ashe silently watched Vrynna as she spoke.
"Beep."
The beep echoed in the hall, until a voice came from the strange box.
"Hello? Is this Vrynna or Kyrjek?"
Ashe heard this voice, and instantly froze, the hand holding her bow also trembled suddenly.
It was a voice she was extremely familiar with, Sejuani's voice!
Wait, how could Sejuani's voice come from such a small box?
"It's me, Warmother." Vrynna said with her head down.
"."
The voice suddenly disappeared.
The hall fell silent again.
Vrynna picked up the Hextech phone and walked towards the bewildered Ashe.
Ashe took a step back, then calmed down.
She looked at Vrynna walking towards her, and at the box.
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Why would Sejuani's voice come from this box?
Was it a kind of sacrificial magic? Or a magic that could record voices?
Did Sejuani have something to say to me?
"Ashe, are you there?"
Sejuani's voice sounded again.
"Talk to it, I know what you're thinking." Vrynna looked at Ashe and said, "It's not the familiar sacrificial magic we know, you are now talking to Sejuani herself."
Ashe raised her head abruptly and looked at Vrynna.
"Ashe, it's me, Sejuani, I need to talk to you about something."
"You.... are you really Sejuani?"
"It's me, Ashe."
Vrynna shook her hand, indicating Ashe to take the Hextech phone.
Ashe strapped the bow to her back, took the Hextech phone, and then held it up.
"Why does your voice come from this box?"
"It's complicated to explain, but all you need to know is that with this device, I can communicate with you remotely."
Ashe paused, amazed, "This is amazing, Sejuani."
"I think so too." Sejuani's tone carried a hint of amusement.
But soon, her tone became indifferent again, and she said in a cold tone, "The person who wants to talk to you is not me, but the person next to me right now."
"Next to you?" Ashe said puzzled.
At that moment, the box emitted a second voice, a male voice.
"Hello, Ashe, Warmother of Freljord, I'm Linwin, Linwin from Zaun."
"Excuse me, you're crowding me." Sejuani's displeased voice rang out.
"Uh, sorry, I'm a bit excited, just put it in the middle, then I won't bump into you." The male voice continued.
Ashe was completely puzzled. How could there be another voice?
"Linwin? Sejuani, who is he? Your bloodkin?"
Talking to Sejuani like this, and being so close. Was he the man Sejuani had found?
Ashe suddenly felt a bit gossipy.
"Bloodkin? You're thinking too much."
Sejuani said coolly, "I don't need that kind of thing."
"To cut to the chase, Ashe, I'd like to invite you to join the Twin Cities Federation and participate in the Twin Cities Games organized by us. What do you think?"
"What is that?" Ashe became even more confused.
A man who gets along well with Sejuani, from Zaun, Twin Cities, Games?
And this magical box?
The young queen is getting a bit dizzy now....
