Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?

"Is the current war mother still Xi Jian?"

When mentioning this matter, Sejuani pursed her lips.

"No, my mother was supposed to take over the position of War Mother. But she...escaped."

"escape?"

Sejuani's eyes became hollow, and she even forgot to eat the fish in her hand: "Yes, she abandoned all of us. She ran away with a man...and left her tribe alone!"

Kedar hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hand to rub her head, receiving a puzzled and angry look from the latter. Sejuani bared her teeth and slapped his hand away, like a wolf cub: "Don't touch me.

Head! Grandma Xi Jian said you won’t grow taller if you do this!”

"Didn't she teach you how to use an axe?" Kedar asked.

Sejuani shook her head: "She didn't have time to teach me."

"What did she teach you?"

The girl counted on her fingers and said: "Hunting, skinning...and how to use a bow and arrow."

"Get up."

Kedar threw her ax at her feet, then shouldered his own giant ax, and the wind blew through the corners of his clothes. He said: "Now, let's go hunting. I want to see your skills."

They spent two hours searching for traces of deer in the nearby mountains and forests. These animals are so cunning that the slightest disturbance will cause them to run away immediately, unlike their curious cousins, the elk. The deer of Freljord.

..really just an ordinary deer.

Otherwise? You don't think this place is full of dangerous mutated beasts, do you?

The two of them were lying on a high tree branch. There was no bow at hand, so Kedar made a simple spear out of the branches of frozen wood. He held the spear in his right hand, as steady as a mountain, motionless. Tightly.

He looked down at the deer that was grazing with no idea of ​​the danger.

"call out!"

The spear pierced its neck in an instant, blood gushed out, and the deer lost its life without even feeling much pain. Kedar jumped down from the tree, and he stretched out his hand to catch Sejuani. But then

The person stubbornly chose to climb down by himself.

Pulling out his spear and squatting in front of the deer's carcass, Kedar pointed to the wound on its neck and said: "If you are determined to kill them... no matter what it is, be it a bear, a deer or a wolf.

be quick."

"If you're not sure, don't do it. But once you decide to do it, it won't work if you're not fast. Hesitation is the biggest enemy, and killing is very simple-sometimes, you don't even need to think to do it.

this matter."

Sejuani carefully reached out her hand, she stroked the deer's furry head and the antlers on its head, and then said: "But, I don't have the power like you."

Kedar smiled meaningfully: "You will have it."

"ah?"

Sejuani was a little confused, but Kedar had already stood up. He effortlessly carried the deer carcass on his shoulders and said, "Let's go back. We will be on the road tomorrow and I will take you back to the tribe.

"

Sejuani quickly followed and asked, "Do you know where the tribe is now?"

"It's winter now, Sejuani. Where do you think they'll spend the winter?"

She patted her forehead as if she suddenly understood, and said angrily: "Nerzayag! Damn it, how could I forget?"

"It's still that place..." Kedar smiled unconsciously: "Haven't you tried finding other places to spend the winter?"

"The Avarosa tribe is doing this, but they have rarely interacted with us recently. It is said that it is because Grandma Xi Jian plundered a tribe that is very close to them."

"Yes, this is the style of Winter's Claw. Either he is robbing, or he is on the way to rob." Kedar sighed, and then said: "What do you want to eat at night? Fish or venison?"

"...can I have both?"

Kedar looked down at her sparkling eyes, laughed dumbly, and his voice spread far and wide in the mountains and forests: "Of course, as long as you finish eating!"

Early the next morning.

The two walked out of the cellar, Kedar carrying a leather package in his hand. One night was not enough to completely remove the bloody smell, but it was enough as a temporary bag. They cut off all the edible parts of the deer.

Come out. Sejuani patted his arm and said, "Can I carry it?"

"This is very heavy."

"He who does not work shall not eat, my grandmother taught me. I have to do something."

Seeing her insistent expression, Kedar did not refuse. He tied the animal skin bag in his hand around the girl's body. The bag, which looked like a small package in his hand, was placed on the girl's body like a backpack. Sejuani tightened it with difficulty.

Tightening the bag, feeling the heavy weight, I smiled sincerely.

There are two roads to choose from from Lakstaq to Nerzayag. One is the shortest, but requires climbing over mountains and ridges. The other takes a little longer, but is better than the smooth road. Their journey cannot be called smooth, and sometimes

, the blizzard was coming at any time. On such a day, and there was no place to hide, Kedar could only hold Sejuani in his arms, and the two of them shared the cold.

Sejuani is an Iceborn, so logically speaking, she would not be afraid of this kind of weather. But she is too young, and the blood power from the three sisters has not yet been activated in her body.

Sitting in the cave, Kedar breathed a sigh of relief. He was covered in blood, which was a parting gift left by the bear he had just killed. Sejuani struggled to lift the bear's claws, and she tried to move the bear inside.

Go. Kedar shook his head and said: "Let it stay there, we will have something to eat tonight."

This bear was unlucky. They happened to be passing by and had neither food nor shelter. And this bear happened to have both, and it couldn't defeat Kedar who had the ax made by Orn, so it could only end with hatred.

"By the way, I've been wanting to ask you... Kedar, where did your ax come from? Doesn't it look like a perfect ice weapon?" Sejuani looked at the giant ax in his hand and asked.

"This? This was given to me by Ornn." Kedar's plain words made Sejuani widen her eyes. Her first reaction was that Kedar was lying, but there was no need for him to do so.

"But, but, my grandmother said that even my grandmother's grandmother had never seen Him. She said that He was a forgotten god."

"Did she also say that people only talk about Him in front of a crackling fire and a table piled high with grilled fish?"

"How do you know?" Sejuani was even more surprised.

Kedar said with a half-smile: "She has always said this... God has always been around us. In the sky, in the soil. Behind the veil of the stars, and of course, also in your heart."

Sejuani made a face: "I don't believe it. If everyone believes in Volibear, then don't we have to kill each other every day? And if they are really everywhere, then why do they never care about us?"

Kedar was once again amused by the little girl's whimsical thoughts. He shook his head and said: "No, no. Although Volibear is a cruel god, he is not that bad. Moreover, even if he is

If it really gets to that point, we still have Ornn."

"What does Aoun have to do with him? I only know that Aoun is his brother, and like him, he never cares about us."

"What? Didn't Xi Jian tell you that story?"

"No, can you tell me about it?"

Kedar originally wanted to deal with the bear first, but looking at the girl's expectant eyes, he really couldn't say no. So he cleared his throat and said: "That was a long, long time ago. It was Freir."

Before Zod was split, the foothills of Orn's foundry were the present-day Orn'kar Rock..."

"There is a group of blacksmiths living there. They claim that they believe in Ornn, but if you ask Ornn himself, he will say that this is absolutely not the case. Because he said that he has no believers. However, those blacksmiths did build a building on the Ornkar Rock.

A great little town grew up.”

"They believe in Ornn, so they all hope that one day they can create the best artifacts in the world. Whether it is armor, weapons or shields."

"There must be at least several thousand people in this group. I don't know the exact number. At least, that's what your Grandma Xi Jian told me."

"In short, they can do almost anything. Whether it's a wheelbarrow or a hoe for plowing the fields - yes, at that time, the Freljord was full of soft earth that could grow food. They built furnaces and villages, and in the villages

In the center, a statue of Aoun was built. They call themselves the 'Hearth Family'."

"They have never felt the biting cold of the Freljord, even when they stepped barefoot on the slopes of Hearth. Because Ornn's forging chamber was so huge, they even had to endure the boiling heat under their feet.

.In this way, they gradually became a group of the best craftsmen in the world, and the objects they created would be inferior only to Ornn."

"As for our God of Forging... You also know that He doesn't care about worldly affairs most of the time and is busy working in his own casting room. But occasionally He will appreciate the craftsmanship of the furnace family. If

If he thinks it's good, he will simply say it's okay. Considering his character that doesn't like to talk, this sentence can basically be regarded as a compliment."

"Ornn has never admitted that he admires the Furnace family, but we all know that he may look as calm as a mountain on the outside, but he is as passionate as fire on the inside. Just like his furnace."

"Moreover, he actually has respect for the Furnace family. Because Orn himself is keen on making all kinds of things, he also knows how difficult it is for mortals to endure the high temperature of their own foundry. The Furnace family does not need to

Kneeling, there is no need to offer sacrifices. Nor will he write down Aoun’s words and spread them around to force others to believe in him.”

"They will just be like their own gods, saying nothing and focusing on the work in hand. These people are full of fantasy, have unlimited energy, and are very diligent."

"There were a few times when the Hearth family felt that their craftsmanship made Orn smile - but no one was sure about this because his big beard blocked his smile."

Kedar stopped, and just when Sejuani felt strange, she found that his face became very gloomy: "Then, Volibear came. He came to visit his brother. Ornn felt very strange about this,

There was no harmony between the brothers and they had never visited each other before."

"Do you know why Volibear visited Him?"

Sejuani thought for a while and replied: "He wants to fight him?"

"No, but it's not much different. He wants to fight a war. The giant bear is ready to fight, so he needs some weapons to equip his army. Ornn has seen his army, and they are all weird guys. They make themselves

They become deformed in order to please Volibear. These people are simple-minded and violent in temperament, and will get angry if they disagree."

"I've seen them too!" Sejuani whispered, her eyes shining with angry fire.

"Yeah?"

"Bastard in bearskin..."

Kedar laughed again: "The evaluation is accurate, little girl. You are as bad as their god. Considering your age, when you said these two words, you were going to go outside to eat a mouthful of snow. However, today is an exception.

.”

"Did Ornn agree?"

"Of course not. He is very stubborn, and no one can force him to build anything for himself. But Volibear has other ways."

"After Ornn rejected Him, He said: 'Okay, let your followers do it. I don't care. Do it. I'm your brother.'"

"He agreed this time?"

"No. Aoun never regarded them as his followers, but as craftsmen like himself. He knew how painful it was for a craftsman to be forced to build something he didn't want to make, so he was angry.

"

"But this is one of Volibear's plans. He has long disliked the Hearth family."

"But why? The Lu family didn't provoke Him!"

Kedar lowered his head and said in a dull tone: "Very good, you have understood the first point of the story. Some people in the world just don't like you, and they will use all means to torture you, stop you, and kill you. Sometimes.

, they are ordinary people. Sometimes, they are frost guards. Sometimes, they are nature. Sometimes... they are gods."

"Then let them do it." Sejuani said suddenly.

After glancing at her, Kedar continued: "They fought for eight days. The fight between the two was so fierce that the base of the mountain was shaking. Molten ore spurted out from the top of Hearth. Lightning struck densely.

Hitting the mountain, a fountain of fire erupted from the cracks in the cliff. The sky was red and black. The earth trembled, and the blood in the heart of the world flowed freely in the highlands. People throughout the Freljord witnessed Volibear and Oro

The battle of grace.”

"When the smoke cleared, the peaks of the mountains had disappeared. But what was worse was that all the Furnace family members were dead. Their town was no more, only a pile of smoldering ruins.

, and a past that is gradually disappearing.”

"Many centuries have passed, and the Hearth has been standing silently without the top of the mountain. From time to time, billowing smoke rises from the large pit that was originally the top of the mountain. Some people say that this is the furnace where Ornn is still looking after him, no.

Let the fire of the earth flow through the world. Some say that He is forging a great weapon that will one day be used."

"Some people even believe that Ornn was killed by Volibear, because since then, no one has seen him on the land of Freljord."

"Is He really dead?"

"No, it's just that He no longer communicates with anyone - except me." Kedar laughed. He was satisfied to see Sejuani's suspicious eyes, so he lifted the ax and aimed it at the handle.

Got her.

"Take a good look, do you see this mark?"

Sejuani no longer doubted it, and she said with some admiration: "So you are Ornn's favored one?"

"The one favored by God? Who told you these three words? No, Aoun did not favor me. I volunteered to do things for him because I respect such a god who never interferes in the human world, and he treats us as equals.

of."

Kedar gritted his teeth and said: "Unlike other gods... who regard us as slaves, vassals or sacrifices. Are you willing to be a follower of Volibear? You have also seen the appearance of those bear men."

"Of course not, but the current situation of the tribe is very bad." Sejuani shook her head first, and then started to raise her fingers: "The Frost Guard is chasing us...and the Ursine tribe, and then the Avarosa tribe.

He's not dealing with us again, ugh. I really want to see Ai Xi."

"Ashe?"

"She is the daughter of War Mother Glenna of the Avarosa Tribe. She and I get along very well."

"Yes, yes. The friendship between the two war mothers is a good thing." Kedar nodded, and Sejuani's face suddenly turned red. She whispered, "What... what war mothers?"

"

"Don't act stupid, Sejuani. You are an Iceborn. When Xi Jian grows old, you will be the new War Mother."

The girl raised her head with a strange look on her face: "Can I be a War Mother just because I am an Iceborn?"

Kedar knew what she meant, and the warrior shook his head: "No, some people are like this, they are proud of their bloodline. But you are different, Sejuani. The qualities you have shown make me sure of one thing - three

The blood of sisters will be proud of you."

----------------------------------------

When he returned to the rock wall again, He Shenyan saw Lissandra lying on the ground without any image, panting.

The majesty of the Frost Witch was gone, leaving only the embarrassment and unbearable condition. He Shenyan glanced at her and said, "How do you feel?"

Lissandra knew what he was asking, and she replied with a wry smile: "If you're asking about the feeling of being dragged into the illusion by them... it's terrible. But if you ask me what it feels like to witness their death with my own eyes...

.great."

"Then get up. Looking at your appearance, people who don't know may think I have done something to you." The mage said sarcastically.

Lissandra didn't tell him that in the illusion of the void, he did do some very excessive things to himself.

"It's best to let your people go down and clean them up. Although they are dead, the corpses and traces of pollution left behind cannot be eliminated in a day or two. If you don't want them to come back, you'd better act quickly." He

After Shen Yan finished speaking, he disappeared directly.

Lissandra didn't even have time to say thanks, she could only bow deeply in the direction the mage left.

Only she knew what a great thing this person who suddenly appeared and disappeared did.
