People in the League, Masters of Time Management

But it's okay not to talk...

"Answer me, children," said Kokiya again, with a hint of menace in his tone.

At a critical moment, Mubai stood up.Facing the haughty gazes of Koujiya and the Frost Priests, he calmly replied:

"My name is Mubai. This giant Gruffin snake attacked our ship, and it was Sejuani who suddenly appeared and rescued us."

It's a lie, a complete lie.

The leading Frost Priest sniffed and looked directly at Mubai, as if he could smell lies.

However, the next moment, the complacency on his face turned into panic—he smelled a smell stronger, more evil, and more disturbing than lies.

He even felt that the young man in front of him could chop off his head before he opened his mouth.

Sejuani noticed the strangeness of the Frost Priest. Although she was confused, this opportunity was very rare.

She opened her mouth quickly to prevent the Frost Priests from speaking. "These two travelers are very courageous and courageous, at least half of the credit for these prey belongs to them!"

"Huh?" Sejuani's unauthorized decision made the war mother Kuojiya very unhappy, and she felt that her dignity had been challenged. "It's not your turn to decide how we distribute our food, daughter."

"Without me, there is no food. Mother." Sejuani insisted.

Of course, she is not not afraid, but wants to use this to shift the focus of the conflict.

Fortunately, it worked.

"Come talk to me in the hall." Kojiya said viciously, and left with a gloomy face.

Sejuani couldn't openly defy the war mother in front of the whole clan, so she obediently followed behind, and gave Ai Xi and Mu Bai a wink before leaving.

Ashe understood, and immediately said to the remaining members of the Winter's Claw tribe: "We should... uh... unload the food on the boat. Let's take it as our part of the gang."

Those hungry clansmen waited for this sentence for a long time, and immediately rushed forward enthusiastically to help carry the meat, with happy smiles on their faces.

The Winter's Claw tribe is also gone.The clansmen were naked and starved, and they were being manipulated by those damn frost priests.

Not far away, the Frost Priests who left for the time being gathered together again, staring at the two outsiders with cunning and vicious eyes like jackals.

"High Priest, that girl is Ashe, we must..." one person whispered.

"I know." The high priest, whose face was engraved with black magic marks, waved his hands, "Be patient. There's not enough to eat. When the food runs out, we have plenty of ways..."

After a short pause, he added: "What we need to worry about most now is that man... Keep an eye on him. I don't want any variables."

"Understood." Several other frost priests responded.

Chapter 8 A Drunken Ashe

At night, the Winter's Claw tribe ushered in a rare bonfire party.

Everyone ate and drank, and laughed all over the sky. A group of shirtless men danced around the campfire. The delicious fruit wine not only poured into their throats, but also soaked their bodies.

And as the great hero of this evening party, Mubai also deservedly received people's attention.Several women surrounded her chattering non-stop, eager to get to know this handsome young man.

They are all women with status in the tribe. They don't lack men, but what they lack are "beauties" like Mu Bai.

"Your name is Mubai? What a nice and elegant name." A burly woman with a height of 1.9 meters praised.

"Where are you from? Why are you so white? Are you a little prince from a big tribe?" Another muscular woman asked.

"Tsk tsk tsk, are you interested in having an in-depth exchange with my sister? I'll treat you well." Another woman who was tall and rough said with a smile.

It's not that there are petite women in the Winter's Claw tribe, but they think they don't have the power to conquer men, so they just sit by and eat meat and drink silently.

But his eyes still kept on looking at Mubai.

"Hahaha..." Mu Bai's laughter was full of embarrassment.

One thing to say, he really doesn't appreciate the Freljord's judgment on female beauty.

Thank you for the invitation, I was in Winter's Claw, and I just walked with Ashe.There are few people in the industry, the interests are related, and they are hidden...

Squeezing out of the enthusiastic crowd, Mu Bai hurried to the corner of the party and found Ai Xi who was eating meat alone.

There was a huge wine barrel next to the latter, but there were not many fleshy bones, obviously patronizing to drink.

"Huh? You're back?" She staggered and stared at Mubai, her mouth was full of alcohol. "Why don't you go play with them? What are you doing when you come back? There are all beautiful women over there."

On weekdays, Ashe is kind and warm-hearted, but her appearance is very cold, she is an out-and-out ice beauty.

But after drinking, she talked more.

"Go, go play with them... It's better to have a few more children and come back, so that our Avarosa tribe will have new people, how wonderful..."

"How can I do that? I was born as an Avarosa, and I will die as the soul of Avarosa." Mu Bai said righteously.

"Mother said... the more beautiful a man is, the more he will deceive people..." Ashe shook his head vigorously, but it didn't help much. He should still be dizzy.

Her face was flushed, her eyes were a little blurred, and her body showed a tendency to heat up.

A few drops of wine flowed down her neck, which was as white as jade, and got into the fascinating deep groove, revealing a strange rosy color.

That's somewhat drunk.

"Are you planning to stay drunk?" Mu Bai shook his head with a smile, and snatched the wine glass from the girl's hand. "I'll ignore you when you're drunk later."

"Give it back to me...! I'm a battle mother, you have to listen to me...!" Ashe frowned, looking noisy like a little girl who hasn't grown up.

Mu Bai shrugged, ignored it, and just sat beside him silently.

This girl's life was hard enough - her parents died tragically, her tribe was wiped out, and she was under pressure far beyond what she could bear.

It's also good to make a fuss and take a rest once in a while.

"Give me... I am... Avarosa Warmother..."

Sure enough, with a shoulder to rely on, Ashe soon fell into a deep sleep due to alcohol.

Mu Bai sighed helplessly, reached out to wipe off the wine on her body, and then sat quietly.

There is still a lot of time, you can take your time, don't worry.

About half an hour later, he waited for the person he was waiting for - Sejuani.

As early as the party started, he was waiting for the other party.Otherwise, I wouldn't bite the bullet and go "accompanying wine".

As he had expected, Sejuani was in a very depressed mood - judging by her stronger personality, if she showed her depression outside, then something terrible must have happened.

"Sit down first." Mu Bai pointed to the floor beside him, and handed him another glass of fruit wine.

"Thank you..." Sejuani sighed, then drank the fruit wine in one gulp. "Ash fell asleep?"

"Well. She had a little too much to drink just now."

"This girl..."

Sejuani sighed again, looking at Mubai's face.

"Korzia and the Frost Priests still found out Ashe's identity... If there is no accident, they will find a way to drive you away tomorrow."

"Drive away? Don't they want to kill us?" Mu Bai laughed.

Frost priests are Lissandra's, and the latter will not allow the Freljord to threaten her existence.

From the moment Ashe obtained Avarosa's inheritance, her name was at the top of the Frostguard family's hunting list.

"They want to, but they don't have the strength." Sejuani looked at each other with complicated eyes.Until now, she couldn't believe Mubai's terrifying power to instantly kill the Gruffin giant snake with one blow.

"They plan to exile you, and then slowly look for opportunities to start."

"A wise move." Mu Bai nodded, "Then what are your plans?"

"I……"

Sejuani looked at Ashe who was sleeping soundly, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.

In the end, she chose the most risky and unreasonable one.

"I can't watch my sisters die in vain, or be cast out from the tribe and starve and freeze alone...we have to act."

After stroking her slightly messy hair, she continued:

"The way the Frost Priest controls Winter's Claw is to manipulate food—once the food is insufficient, the clansmen will beg for those damned things."

"Behind them are the Frost Guards, who have endless food and wine. They control many tribes, big and small!"

"So, to get rid of them, we have to solve the food problem first. As long as the food is plentiful, they are not a threat - at least until we think of a new solution."

"In this way, I can persuade Koujiya to take in Ashe."

As she spoke, she unconsciously exerted force on the palm of her hand holding the wine glass. She didn't calm down until the wooden wine glass slapped under the weight.

"I know that the Frost Priest once forced Gorzia to form an alliance with a small tribe. That tribe is old, weak, sick and disabled, without any ability to hunt, and they all rely on Winter's Claw for support."

"As long as... get rid of them, the problem of food shortage in Winter's Claw can be effectively alleviated."

"Time is running out, it's tonight!"

After hearing Sejuani's plan, Mu Bai was calm on the surface, but in his heart he kept sighing secretly for the other party's iron-blooded wrist.

The "get it done" in her mouth probably means "no one will be left alive".

At least that's what she did in the original history, and this is the most direct reason for her break with Ashe.

But Mubai does not intend to let history repeat itself.

Now that we have traveled through time and space, wouldn't it be a waste of time if we didn't change something?

Sejuani's nature is not bad, and she is a very affectionate person. As long as she is trained a little... bah, with a little education, she can become one of the candidates for unifying the Freljord in the future.

"The plan is good." Mu Bai first affirmed the other party's thoughts, and then changed the topic: "But I also have my own plan, do you want to listen to it?"

"Huh? Tell me." Sejuani said.

Mu Bai moved his body slightly, drew out his long sword and placed it on the ground without waking Ashe up.

"Get rid of the Frost Priest, and let you be the Warmother of Winter's Claw."

Chapter 9 Despicable Strangers!

In ancient times, the Freljord had three supreme rulers - Avarosa, Serilda, and Lissandra.

The three of them are like brothers and sisters, and they are affectionately called "three sisters".

They worked hard to rescue the people of Freljord from the cruel nature, and brought unity to this chaotic and divided frozen land.

They taught the clansmen to cultivate, graze, and be self-sufficient, and ended the old bad habits of living by plundering and hunting.

They are great, wise, and kind, and they are praised by the world.

until the void comes.

The Watchers bewitched Lissandra, using powerful magic as bait to force her to break with Avarosa and Serilda.

In just a few years, the order established by the three sisters completely collapsed.

By the time Lissandra realized the watcher's evil intentions, it was too late.She can only choose atonement in remorse and pain.

She betrayed the Watcher and forever froze the passage connecting the two worlds in True Ice.

She became the only survivor among the three sisters, but she was not the winner.In order to unite the Freljord again, she created the Frostguard tribe unrivaled, even defying the will of the gods.

The burden of thousands of years made her breathless.There was a twist in her mind.

She has become cold-blooded and cruel, and will do anything to achieve her goals.No sacrifice of any kind is worth mentioning in her eyes as long as the Freljord can be united again.

And those frost priests lurking in various tribes like parasites are her eyeliner.

She will never allow any tribe to be too powerful-that will hinder the great cause of the Frostguard's unification.

Therefore, rebelling against the frost priests in the tribe is equivalent to rebelling against Lissandra, and there has never been a precedent before.

Of course, there might have been, but those tribes who resisted the Frost Priest were all wiped out.

After hearing Mubai's bold plan, even a brave and fearless Freljord warrior like Sejuani couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

too crazy!

It's not that she didn't think about resisting the Frost Priest and taking the position of War Mother, but that would require a long-term plan and adequate preparations.

"Is this...too risky?"

Sejuani looked back at the lively bonfire party, looking very tangled.
