"She is teaching you, why? Did you make some dirty deal?"

Lux looked at Ezreal with cautious eyes. She also knew that Ezreal always went to those little girls to play with. She just didn't expect that Ezreal could still treat an old witch who was hundreds of thousands of years old.

You can get rid of it.

"...Where did you want to go?"

Feeling that the atmosphere was getting weirder and weirder, Ezreal suddenly understood what Lux was thinking and what he was thinking! He was just willing to have a date with those little girls to enhance mutual understanding, not that he could do it with just a woman.

Get rid of it.

Besides, sometimes it's not Ezreal asking those girls to play with him, but those girls are willing to devote themselves to a noble.

Most civilian girls are like this.

They have no culture, their families have no culture, and they and their families have no other knowledge except the farming skills passed down from generation to generation.

And girls will always be pregnant.

They know that they are uneducated, and they also know that the villages where they live are basically populated by lower-class people.

Even though the laws of the empire do not expressly divide people into different classes, these people, who cannot even find a single book at home, are dozens of years old and cannot even write their own names, are very self-aware.

In these remote villages, there are no academies nearby, and the nearest academy takes five or six hours to ride on a bullock.

Even if the academy issues an admission notice and asks people in this remote village to send their children to study, twelve hours will pass every day. If the children go to study, who will plant the land?

Does anyone really think that if farmers in the countryside are willing to let their children go to school, they won't worry about their children's safety?

A child of six or seven years old rides a bull for twelve hours a day to study in a town academy?

I was afraid that I would be robbed by bandits on the road.

This has led to these remote villages, knowing the importance of culture and knowledge, and each generation is thinking about why they didn't go to school in the first place, and each generation has no chance to go to school. The result is that the local girls are not interested in those nobles.

The young masters from the family were very fond of them. Even if they knew that these young masters just wanted to sleep with them for one night, just one night, they would come up one after another.

Just like in the world line of Balliard, girls from some weak city-states are always happy to spend spring nights with men from other city-states, while disdainful of local men and worshiping foreigners... Of course, this word cannot be used in the empire

The interior, however, is similar in nature.

Ezreal is quite a conscientious person. Every time he sleeps with those little girls for a night, he will leave a lot of money. Although it is not comparable to his assets, it is still worth her family of two and three.

With an annual income, this girl can find a better family to marry.

Of course, if he is willing to subsidize the family and use it to support his younger brother's education, Ezreal will not have any objections. A person's future is not as good as a family's future. Some people are willing to sacrifice themselves for the family, and that is them.

own affairs.

With his money, the girl's brother can also find a hotel to stay in the town. If his academic performance is good, after three years, all the fees will be provided by the college, and their family will be able to live again.

No burden.

"Then what do you mean?

What's going on? I don't believe that witch would be so kind."

Lissandra brutally killed her sister. Lux would never believe that Lissandra would be so kind to an outsider for no reason.

"Maybe...she is repaying me for saving her?"

The only reason Ezreal could think of for Lissandra to teach was this.

There are only three ways that he and Lissandra are involved. One of them is that he and Lissandra are both Iceborn, but there are more Iceborn in Freljord. The second is that Ezreal is in

When collecting the body of the Frost Guard, I heard Lissandra say thank you, but there were too many Frost Guards.

If Lissandra would try her best to teach one of her subordinates for his salvation, then she is not Lissandra. She is a witch walking in the darkness. Does she care about one of her subordinates that much?

If Ezreal saved the entire Frostguard, he didn't think Lissandra would not repay him. After all, the people on Freljord valued their tribe most, and the Frostguard was Lissandra's.

tribe.

The third is what Ezreal is doing, he is going to rescue Lissandra.

"Then she is really heartless. She is paying you even before she is rescued. If it were me, I would definitely not advance the reward."

Some things are difficult to explain clearly. If you trust others and pay them in advance, the final result may be that they are betrayed by others.

Lux was born into a noble family. Although there were some things that she didn't know how to do, she still knew that this was an indispensable part of the education of the imperial nobles. Regardless of whether Lux studied seriously or not, she was influenced by what she should know.

knew.

"Maybe it's to gain trust, or maybe it's for other purposes."

In fact, Ezreal feels that Lissandra is not kind enough to pay the reward in advance. Based on his several contacts with Lissandra, Lissandra is not as evil as the legend says, and Lissandra is not as evil as the legend says.

Zhuo's evil only comes from legend.

In a large area of ​​Freljord ruled by the Frostguard, Lissandra is a saint praised by everyone.

Maybe this is the result of tens of thousands of years of Frostguard's operation under Lissandra's instructions, but she really did many things that Avarosa and Winter's Claw couldn't do, such as the Village of Outcasts.

Even the Avarosa tribe would not deliberately adopt children abandoned by other tribes.

Only the Frostguard would do this because they have a living saint.

"Anyway, be careful."

Lux felt a little relieved after hearing what Ezreal said. At least Ezreal was not bewitched by Lissandra. He was still awake and did not blindly think that Lissandra was a good person.

"I understand, don't worry."

Ezreal didn't take Lux's words to heart at all. He just knew that Lux didn't trust Lissandra, so he didn't express all his thoughts. He was not a child, so he couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong, good and evil?

Moreover, whether he is a good person or an evil person, a butcher or a saint, it does not mean much after he joins Salva. As long as he is willing to fight to protect Runeterra, he is a trustworthy person.

There is no need to look into the past. Who hasn’t done a little bad thing? Those who live a long life have only done a lot of bad things in a long time.

Some, but judging from the ratio of life span, ordinary people may do more bad things than Lissandra.

The two of them moved on.

This abandoned passage was not easy to walk, and sometimes the ice that had not melted for thousands of years blocked their way forward.

"What to do? Burn this ice wall?"

Lux and Ezreal walked into a dead end. What stood in front of them was a piece of ice. Their eyes passed through the ice and saw a road behind the ice.

"No, let's take a detour."

Ezreal touched the ice barrier, took out a knife, and dug in the gap between the ice and the wall, but nothing was dug out. With the quality of the knife in his hand, even if it was scraped,

You can't even scrape a single layer off this ice.

"Why?"

Lux, who was already ready to take action, held back her magic. She didn't quite understand that there was a road ahead, and she could walk through it as long as she broke through the obstacles. Why wasn't Ezreal willing?

"This ice wall should be a mechanism used by the Frost Guard Fortress to hinder enemies in ancient times. Let's look around and find that there may be corpses and the like in places covered by ice."

Ezreal doesn't need the knife to dig this time. The ice here seems to have been enchanted by Lissandra. It is very hard. It is difficult for weapons made by mortals to leave traces on this ice.

He used the casting system to get a saw-tooth dagger and dug carefully on the ground. He didn't know what kind of magic power the ice had. If the bones frozen by the ice would gradually fade away over time,

What about being assimilated by ice?

If this is the case, it can also explain why the ice on the ground is still slowly thickening even though it is not exposed to the outside world.

This is not a factor that is difficult to identify. There are some weapons made of ice that are not of the right length. They are obviously ice guns of the same style and even have the same patterns. However, the ice guns placed on the table are much better than the ice guns standing up.

So long.

Not long after, under Lux's gaze, Ezreal discovered a finger, part of which turned into ice.

"It's true, this is a mechanism activated by the ancient Frost Guard, with the purpose of destroying the enemy... It may also be an internal fight to kill people and silence them. Maybe, after that, the places connected by this passage are basically abandoned."

Ezreal could only reluctantly come up with a conjecture to answer why the Frost Guards abandoned this passage and the armory over there. It is a place where the armory is placed. It seems that the access to all parts of the Frost Guard Fortress is relatively smooth.

, perhaps this passage was originally a traffic artery.

"So? Why not destroy this wall and get through?"

Lux was not interested in analyzing Ezreal's exploration experience. What he wanted to know was not how old this place was, but why Ezreal didn't let her destroy the ice wall.

This thing is blocking their way, so what if it's ancient? This is the Freljord, this is the Frostguard Fortress, does Ezreal still need to protect cultural relics?
