Joint Alliance

Uncle Wolf's behavior surprised us greatly; he had clearly let go of his hatred and was ready to communicate properly. ♘🐺 ඏ🐉

Ashe rushed to Uncle Wolf's side and cried, and the surviving Avarosa people also knelt behind her to mourn the death of their Old Chieftain.

They already knew that Uncle Wolf was a werewolf, but that did not diminish his greatness in people's hearts.

They had tried desperately to rescue Uncle Wolf, but he ended their hopes by committing suicide.

As he said on his deathbed: I hope my death can end all these grievances.

After her initial shock, Ashe didn't forget that she was still on the battlefield, surrounded by the Noxus army. She went to Darius's side, forcibly suppressing her grief and anger, and politely said:

"Avarosa has failed, and as its leader, I sincerely beg for your forgiveness."

"This is not the outcome we wanted, but it is beneficial to our development. You should understand why Uncle Wolf left you in the city while he led his trusted men to fight to the death."

"These people follow tradition and have always been unwilling to acknowledge me as their Queen. Uncle Wolf led them to their deaths on the battlefield, firstly to intimidate you, and secondly to leave me with an Avarosa who obeys my commands."

"Your maturity surpasses your age, which puts my mind at ease. I'm willing to let you go, but I have one condition."

"Please speak."

"Move the tribes as far south as possible, closer to us. Although the land here is fertile, it's still far inferior to that in the south. Moreover, this will facilitate our future interactions and exchanges."

"This is a good thing, I agree, but getting everyone to leave their hometown is probably not something that can be done in a short time. Please give me some time."

"You can arrange this yourself. You are a wise Queen, and you will surely lead Avarosa to even greater prosperity in the future."

The conquest of Avarosa was somewhat arduous, with heavy casualties on both sides, but Darius was one step closer to Runeterra.

Jeram led the berserkers back to eastern Freljord; they were going to confront Sejuani. Olaf seemed to have forgotten about my duel, and I was eager to avoid trouble, so I quickly sent them away.

Tryndamere naturally stayed behind. Now that Uncle Wolf is dead, the conflict between them and Avarosa no longer exists, and his relationship with Ashe is no longer within our scope of concern.

Jon performed exceptionally well this time. He and Darius showed great chemistry in their first collaboration, and the legion suffered almost no casualties.

Now that the war is over, he bids farewell to Darius and returns to Demacia. No longer needing to guard against Freljord's harassment, he prepares to dedicate his manpower to the development of Demacia.

Riven and I decided to go to Tam Kench to check on Mona, so we followed the Noxus army back to their camp in eastern Freljord.

After the army stopped, a grand victory banquet was held. After so many days of tiring fighting, the soldiers were in dire need of rest.

I haven't forgotten what Darius promised me before we went to Zaun; he was going to give me a satisfactory reward: "Do you remember what you promised me?"

"What is it?" Darius asked, smiling at me.

"Don't pretend you don't know. You said you'd give us a reward after we completed the Zaun mission."

"Yes! I remembered too!" Riven quickly chimed in.

"Oh hahaha, how could I forget? Is there anything you want?"

"You show absolutely no sincerity; I'm afraid you'd have forgotten all about this if I hadn't mentioned it."

"Actually, I had already thought this through before you left. You're wandering around now, with nowhere to rest except my military camp. You can't keep living in tents, can you?"

"It's nothing, why did you bring it up?"

"I'm planning to give you a house, a place you can call home. What do you think?"

"Okay, okay!" Before I could even say anything, Riven readily agreed, looking very happy.

"I've already decided on the location: the western outskirts of Immortal Fortress. That used to be my residence, and it was His Your Majesty Brawn's reward for my military exploits. But I haven't been back for many years since the Council was founded. Riven should know the way."

"Probably, I remember there were quite a few servants there!"

"Not long ago, only seven people lived there, and there may be fewer now. It's a good place for you to stay. If you miss me, you can come to the council to find me."

"Wait, Riven agreed to you, but I didn't."

"Oh? What do you want then?"

We've lost our gold coins somewhere; you need to replenish them.

"Didn't you leave your oxcart at my camp? And all that junk you had on it, I've kept it safe for you!"

"That's not junk; it's explorer's gear. Luckily you kept it for me, otherwise you wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it if you lost it!"

Just as we were discussing the payment, an unexpected guest arrived. He looked travel-worn, found a seat at random, and sat down without any hesitation.

"Oh, another debt collector has arrived." Darius had a bit of a headache.

"You've fulfilled your promise to them, shouldn't you help me find someone?" Twisted Fate hadn't shown up for a long time, and now that the war was over, he came to Darius to fulfill his promise.

"I will mobilize my intelligence personnel to help you find out. I will let you know as soon as I have any news. You've worked hard these past few days."

"Of course, I hope the information I've gathered will be of help to you."

"This is a great help! Let's stay for a drink today!"

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer. If you receive any news about Evelynn, please write it on the card."

Twisted Fate left behind a card and departed; its unique magic allowed him to communicate with Drizzt.

We continued drinking and laughing, while I recounted in detail my adventures in the Northlands to Darius, especially the Howling Abyss, which he took very seriously.

Unfortunately, we didn't find anyone who shared the same dream. There are still many places in the vast Freljord that we haven't explored, and we don't know how many secrets it still holds.

Now that they've formed an alliance with Winter's Claw and Avarosa, they can leave the remaining tribes to Sejuani and Ashe.

After a night of laughter, we slept until noon before setting off. The army moved very slowly, so Riven and I left first.

As for Darius's next move, I don't care. After Doco meets Mona, I plan to go to Piltover with Riven.

My last visit was too rushed; I didn't even have time to see their advanced technology. I should also tell Jorba about Warwick.

Of course, there's another thing: find Ezreal and give him his parents' exploration log. Perhaps it was this log that inspired a great explorer.
