People in the League, Masters of Time Management

The moment his fingertips touched the surface of the spar, Vel'Koz's deep and hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Don't worry, Mubai... This is a gift from me... Accept it... It will bring you a surprise..."

"Well. Seal, discard or continue research, it's up to you to decide." Ryze didn't notice the other party's strangeness, and was still struggling with how to deal with it.

"This..." After hesitating for a moment, Mu Bai still put the purple spar into the cloth bag. "I'll keep it."

"Huh?" Ruiz was a little surprised.

"Is it not possible?" Mu Bai asked back.

"It's not impossible... If you are confident that it will not bring you harm, of course it is possible."

"Okay, then I'll take it for now."

In fact, Mu Bai couldn't say that he believed Vel'Koz's nonsense, but he had to give it a try.

With any luck, this is an olive branch thrown by the void.It's one thing to add or not to Void, but it's another thing to buy other people's good things for free, and there is no conflict.

If you're unlucky and it's a bomb or something, it's wise to take it away.It's better to fry outside than in the rune chamber.

"No problem, I respect your choice." Ryze nodded, and then asked the most critical question: "Are you ready to travel through time and space?"

"Anytime." Mu Bai said.

Soon, the rune secret room lit up with a blue-green light that symbolized the energy of the enlightenment rune.

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

Right above the rune chamber, outside the rune hall.

Caitlin sat on the steps, her chin in her hands, looking a little unhappy.

Beside her, there are six girls who are also not very happy.

"Mr. Mubai must have thought that we didn't know he was leaving, but in fact his every move is being monitored by us. Haha, ha...?"

Seraphine wanted to make a joke to make everyone happy, but the atmosphere seemed to be getting worse.

"I'm going to be hungry for a while..." Ari sighed listlessly.

"Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat." Syndra gave Ahri an annoyed look.The latter stuck out his tongue at her not to be outdone.

Although the others didn't speak, they all felt the same reluctance.

In the distance, Kai'Sa, who was not with a few people, stared at the Rune Hall silently, wondering what she was thinking.

It wasn't until she could no longer sense the rune energy fluctuations from the depths of the ground that she slowly summoned the void carapace to cover her face.

"See you next time, Mubai..."

Chapter 1 Zhenbing's Daughter

【Honoured. 】

[The battle to the death is not lost. 】

[I am the spear and the axe. 】

[The Throne of Avarosa. 】

[It has always been yours. 】

……

A blood-stained teaching echoed in the girl's heart. It was the last teaching and last words of her clan, mother, father-in-law, teacher and friends.

Her legs and feet were frozen to the point of unconsciousness, and only her tenacious will was left to support and drag her body, which was likely to fall at any time, to climb to the top of the mountain.

Her blond hair was gray with ice crystals and snow.Occasionally, a few drops of ice water melted by body temperature flowed down her neck, scratched across her fair skin, penetrated into her thin clothing, and wet her chest, armpits and back.

The mountain road had no end in sight, and the vision was blurred by the wind and snow.The road is winding and narrow, and there is an abyss beneath your feet.

But that's okay because she's Glenna's daughter.

She is the Warmother of the Avarosa tribe.

She is Ashe.

"Mother... I saw it..." The girl climbed up the rock wall with difficulty, the skin on her fingers was already chapped, and the blood was frozen into ice crystals just as the blood overflowed from the wound.

Through the splendid aurora, she saw the golden hall of Avarosa, the mountains of pure ice, and the endless magic flowing in the throne.Once incomparably glorious and magnificent, but now it is forgotten in solitude.

"Cough cough..."

The prolonged freezing and physical exhaustion made Ashe very uncomfortable.She felt that her lungs were filled with ice and snow, and every alveolus was tortured deeply.

The last luggage given by the tribe has already fallen into the abyss, with no food, no fuel, and no weapons.

She's not sure she'll make it to the end—even if the fabled throne is right around the corner.

In front of him is a towering cliff, and behind him are countless pursuers of Delacron.

There is no way out...

Just climb up...just find Avarosa's throne...

The hard stone hurt Ashe's flesh, but she didn't hesitate at all, resisting the pain and fear and climbing up bit by bit.

Suddenly, she thought of her mother, the most powerful war mother and the former leader of the Avarosa tribe, Glenna.

She didn't understand Glenna's behavior. She didn't understand why she was looking for the throne at the expense of the entire tribe. She didn't understand why she was so stubborn, refused to listen to advice, and even almost killed her own sister.

But now, Ashe understood.

The Frostguard vowed to rule the entire Freljord, and the Avarosa tribe was their biggest stumbling block.

If you can't inherit the treasure of Avarosa, then it will only be a matter of time before the clan is exterminated.

Glenna never thought of obtaining the magic of true ice...everything she did was for her tribe, her daughter...

She wanted to find the inheritance of Avarosa, and carefully give it to her daughter...

"Mother... I found it..."

When the girl's hand touched the flat edge of the cliff top, she smiled broadly.

She knew that all sacrifices and efforts were worthwhile—as long as she could obtain the inheritance of Avarosa.

With the last ounce of strength, she propped up her body with frozen hands and climbed onto the last rock.

The next moment, she finally saw...

A lonely grave.

A sad and lonely grave made of rubble.

Ashe's smile froze, all motivation and hope were completely shattered at this moment.The cold wind beat her weak body mercilessly, as if mocking her childlike innocence and childishness.

At this moment, she really wanted to lie on the ground and cry, or loudly reprimanded Avarosa for his ruthlessness.

But she has no free time for that.

There was a burst of movement behind him, and the Frost Guards had already caught up, and the final battle of life and death was inevitable.

"Weapons...Damn it, all the weapons are gone..."

Ashe ran to the solitary grave, looking around for anything that could fight the enemy, flustered like a helpless little girl.

"Even if it's a rusty sword, or a piece of an ax handle... At least let me die in battle..."

Nothing.

Just a pile of rubble, a ridiculous pile of useless rubble.

"Little girl, what are you looking for?" A cold and joking voice sounded.

Ashe turned in horror to see her mother-killer, the Frostguard, Dracrond, in dark armor and horned helmet.

"I'm looking for a rock big enough to break your teeth!" the girl scolded angrily.

Her naive "plan" made all the frost guards laugh.

They spread out and surrounded the girl, preventing her from having the slightest chance of escape.

"If the stone was useful, your mother wouldn't have died." A frost guard said with a smile, "And your oath father, how many are there? Anyway, they are all dead."

"Shut up! You bastards!"

Ashe swung her fist vigorously, but was easily dodged by a frost guard.

"Little girl, don't you think—"

boom!A stone hit the man's nose precisely, interrupting his sarcasm and breaking one of his front teeth.

"I said, I'll break your teeth with a stone!" The girl held the broken stone in her hand and put on a look that she would rather die than surrender.

"Enough." Delacron sighed and approached slowly.

He has powerful magic and extraordinary skills, not to mention stones, he can easily dodge even bows and arrows.

The girl's resistance seemed meaningless to him.

"Die..." Ashe still wanted to resist, but her strength was too small.

After just one face-to-face effort, she was thrown to the ground.Those big hands as powerful as iron pincers grabbed her neck, ready to take her fragile life at any time.

Ashe struggled in pain, and stretched out one hand towards Avarosa's solitary grave, trying to pick up another stone and knock the man in front of him over.

But this time she failed to touch the stone.

She touched something... soft...

Like... a hand?

Before the girl could figure out what it was, Delacron, who was choking her neck, suddenly flew backwards, as if she had been attacked by some unknown and powerful attack.

Immediately afterwards, a strange man's voice sounded:

"Almost fell asleep in this icy and snowy place... Thank you for waking me up, beautiful lady."

"Ahem..." The girl covered her neck and looked at the young man she had never met before, "Who are you...why are you hiding here..."

"Me? My name is Mubai. A traveler who was almost frozen to death."

The young man held out a hand to Ashe, a warm and friendly smile on his face.

"The reason for hiding here is..." He pointed to the not-too-thick coat on his body, "It's cold. It can block the wind."

"..." Although Ashe felt a lot of doubts, but now she could only choose to believe.

She held Mu Bai's hand and stood up.

"My name is Ash..." she whispered.

"Okay, Miss Ashe. Thank you again for saving your life."

Mubai bowed gracefully, then drew Lanqie from behind, facing Frost Guard.

"Now, it's my turn to repay the favor."

Chapter 2 Ashe's Repayment Plan

The sudden change caught the frost guards by surprise.

The terrifying power that knocked Dracron into a coma was not something they could resist...

"This warrior, wait a minute..."

A Frost Guard bravely stepped forward, holding a sharp ax tightly in his hand—to be honest, he wasn't sure if it would be useful, but it was better than nothing.

"We are the Frost Guard, and we are carrying out some very important tasks. Can you please avoid it for now?"

He knew that there was a high probability that they would not be able to defeat each other, so he needed to use some small means to achieve the effect of deterrence.

The Frost Guard is the largest, most widely distributed, and most powerful tribe in the Freljord.

They are loyal followers of Lissandra and have absolute dominion over this frozen land.

Preventing the Frostguard from carrying out its mission is equivalent to declaring war on the entire Frostguard tribe.

"Hmm...no way." But Mu Bai was not afraid.

Darkin and Void have been beaten up, are you still afraid of the revenge of your mere Frost Guard?That would be too ridiculous.
