The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: The Intruder

Everyone in the fortress was woken up.

Not long after the alarm sounded, flames suddenly shot up at the pier, and an explosion occurred on a transport ship. The flames were particularly dazzling in the night.

Lothar quickly put on his clothes and went out. An eagle’s cry sounded in the sky.

Lothar hurried to the place where Quinn and Lestara lived, and encountered many soldiers rushing to the pier along the way.

“Luosha!” Quinn saw Lothar from afar and waved loudly.

Lothar ran to Quinn: You let Hua Luo fly out, what happened?”

Quinn shook his head,When it was time to get down to business, she temporarily forgot about the embarrassment with this boy: “I don’t know, Hua Luo hasn’t come back yet, Madam, stay in the room well, I can’t leave her.”

“I see. Be careful yourself.” Lothar warned, “I’m going to see what happened. If you are in danger, let Hua Luo come to me, and I’ll come over right away.”

Quinn glanced at the back of Lothar who was leaving with complicated emotions, and turned back to Le Stara.

The pier was very noisy at this time, but it was still orderly. Some were fighting the fire, some were pulling out fire barriers, and some were looking for casualties. Most of the Noxian soldiers have undergone relatively strict training, and the troops rarely panic.

When Lothar arrived at the pier, Karan was already there.

This burly man-lion looked coldly at the ship completely engulfed in flames, and the flames dyed his golden fur brilliantly.

“Lord Karan.” Lothar walked up to him, “What happened?”

Karan suddenly grabbed Lothar’s neck, and Lothar didn’t dodge or evade, letting his huge claws pinch him.

“It’s ice!” Karan felt as if he had grabbed an ice cube, and the hairs on the back of his claws stood up.

Section 110

Seeing that there was no trace of shock on Lothar’s face, Karan sneered: “It’s really hard for people not to suspect you when this happened just after you came here.”

Lothar said calmly: “You should have sensed it too, Lord Karan, I am an ice mage, setting fires is not something I am good at.”

Karan twitched his lips, but didn’t let go. He wanted to say something, but an adjutant had already rushed to his side.

“Report to the lord!” The adjutant glanced at Lothar who was grabbed by Karan’s neck in surprise, and the adjutant said loudly, “The Scarlet Huntress also exploded!”

Karan frowned, and roared, “Where are the other warships!”

“Two ships were involved in the fire, and we are doing our best to rescue them now!”

Karan cursed angrily. Lothar couldn’t understand. He hadn’t been learning Ionian for a long time, and the Ionian language family was very complicated, with many dialects, so it was difficult to learn all of them.

But I think it won’t be a good word.

Karan let go of his paw, and continued to ask the adjutant, “What is the cause of the explosion!”

“No… I don’t know…”

“Trash!” Karan roared, the voice was so loud that it even overwhelmed the hustle and bustle of the pier.

“I have a question.” Lothar asked the adjutant at this time, “Why did the siren sound before the explosion?”

Karan also immediately realized the problem. His hair all over his body exploded, and he grabbed the adjutant’s shoulder anxiously: “Hurry up!”

“Yes!” Being held down by a vastaya lion, the adjutant’s legs were trembling with fright. “The body of the sentinel was found on the city wall. There should be an Ionian assassin…”

“Idiot!” Karan was furious, “Why didn’t you report it immediately!”

“Because…the battleship is on fire…the subordinates believe that the value of the battleship is higher than a few sentries, so I will report to you about the battleship first…”

Karan wanted to throw this adjutant directly into the sea, but he held back, and the roar in his throat was slowly brewing: “You listen to me, only two teams are left to fight the fire, and all other soldiers who can move Let me go and catch the assassin!”

“Ah?” The adjutant didn’t understand very well. In his opinion, the number of assassins was small and they could be dealt with casually. The top priority was to preserve the precious battleship.

“Execute the order!” Karan opened his bloody mouth and roared at the adjutant. The adjutant was so yelled that his nose bleeds and he could only nod his head.

He threw the adjutant away with hatred, and Karan ran away without looking back.

Lothar thought for a while and decided to follow Karan.

He probably also understands the current situation. Someone has infiltrated the fortress, and blowing up the ship is just to divert the tiger away from the mountain. If the target is really a ship in the dock, it is impossible to blow up only one ship.

Their real purpose is something in the fortress.

“What could it be?” Lothar didn’t want to cause trouble, but he really cared.

…

She was standing under the willow tree.

This is Lingliu, the spirit of the land worshiped by everyone in the village.

This piece of land gave birth to the spirit willows, and the spirit willows in turn nourished this piece of land, as well as the countless creatures on it. Under the Spirit Willow is a colorful flower field. This season, the night marten grows. Their petals are emitting light powder and morning dew, making this place bright, moist, and clean.

The little girl looked at Lingliu quietly, and sat on its root. This was her secret base, the only place where she could find peace.

“Spirit willow, spirit willow.” The little girl whispered, “I was scolded by Eminem again, she always does this, I just forgot to wash a bowl, she is going to whip me with a willow branch, or from The willow branch you carry!”

The branches of the spirit willow danced gently in the wind, and a few strands of branches gently brushed over the little girl’s head, as if to comfort her. “And Awad, that stinky tortoise.” The little girl still didn’t calm down, and angrily tugged on her skirt, “I sometimes really doubt that he is not my real elder brother, he must be brought back from another family by E-Mu, Or pick it up in the mud pile…”

The little girl was silent for a while, and hugged her knees tightly with her arms: “But Ah Mu loves Awad more, she always loves him more, and gives him delicious food, and always scolds me more fiercely when we quarrel… …Maybe I just picked it up from the muck…”

The little girl grabbed a handful of soil irritably. She originally wanted to grab a rock and throw it out to vent her dissatisfaction, but she accidentally picked off a sable plant.

“bad dish! “The little girl said dejectedly, “I’m going to be punished again…it’s really not a good thing…”

She wanted to stand up, but a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of her head. There was a muffled sound, and a stone fell beside her.

She can know who it is without turning around.

It was my elder brother Aiwad, and his group of cronies. They were standing behind her, laughing and ridiculing her loudly, and the stones fell on her back one by one.

“Do they have to bully me…why…why…” The little girl lowered her head deeply, and she tried not to resist. Past experience told her that resistance would only make her situation worse.

“Em always sided with him…never once for me…” The little girl wanted to cry, the pain in her chest was hard to relieve, and the tears fell uncontrollably.

But……

The little girl was stunned suddenly.

“Why are my tears… black”

Ionia is a land full of magic. There is no place where there is so much natural magic like here. It can even be said that the natural ecology here is a kind of magic.

It’s no wonder that there are quite a large number of vastaya tribes living here. Ionia is undoubtedly the most ideal habitat for these people who are naturally friendly to magic. Although there are different vastaya ethnic groups in various parts of the world, based on various analyzes and evidence, the current academic community generally believes that the origin of vastaya is in Ionia.

The most intuitive evidence is that almost all vastaya tribes with historical heritage call Ionia the land of birth.

It means “the place where life was first born”.
