Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City - #538 - Chapter 536 Tampered Memory
A stronger smell of rancid metal spread in their mouths. Ashe and Sejuani retreated at the same time, and the armor they had just lifted covered their bodies again.
I saw that the Zhenbing stone tablet in front of me slowly showed a dark green magical light, penetrating Zhenbing, which was the world rune mark representing the determination system.
In the shocked eyes of Ashe and Sejuani, Zhenbing was actually melted by rune magic, and the six stone tablets of different sizes that were originally integrated into the ice and the platform on the ground were revealed.
In the center, an icicle several meters high rises from the ground. The top one is the body of a man who is lying on his back and has completely frozen and fused with Zhen Bing.
Ai Xi looked back at Li Lin in surprise, and then asked the man in the icicle: “Just now…were you talking?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the rune magic representing life on the stone tablet was activated, and a green translucent soul slowly emerged from the icicle.
His body is not too strong. He wears a Freljord-style pointed war helmet on his head, thick animal skin armor on his body, and his two forearms are equipped with huge arm guards that are obviously made of metal.
The most eye-catching thing is the huge horn slung across his back. If it could be erected, it would be almost as tall as him.
It feels very familiar…
This idea suddenly appeared in the minds of Ashe and Sejuani, and at the same time, a strong sense of sourness and anguish emerged from the bottom of their hearts, as if they had known this soul for thousands of years.
Ashe’s armor was removed, she twitched her somewhat blocked nose, and asked in a muffled voice, “Who are you?”
Sejuani on the side did the same, revealing her true appearance, “Why do I feel inexplicably familiar with you?”
The man didn’t pay attention to the strange equipment on their bodies, nor did he answer their questions. Instead, he floated to the two of them and looked around them carefully.
“It looks like, it’s so similar.” The man murmured with his eyes blank, “Avarosa, Serelda.”
Ashe and Sejuani looked at each other, then looked at Li Lin, and explained in a dumbfounded voice: “Sorry to disappoint you, I am not Avarosa, and she is not Serelda.”
“But you have her longbow…”
“I found this on the cliff of Gushuangkou.”
Ai Xi took off the Zhenbing Longbow from his back, a sad emotion appeared in his eyes.
“My mother, Glenna, believed that there was once the palace of Avarosa, where countless treasures were buried, and she even wanted to go there at all costs, almost pushing our Avarosa tribe into the abyss.
“However, I only found an unknown stone cairn there, and then found this longbow in troubled times.”
She took a deep breath and suppressed the longing for her late mother in her heart, “I am Ashe, the daughter of Glenna, and I am Longbow… The world calls me the reincarnation of Avarosa, but I am just Her followers, her successors, her descendants.”
“I’m not Serelda, I’m just myself.” Sejuani said with a hint of boredom in her tone.
Ever since she negotiated with the Ursine Tribe and was almost driven away from her consciousness by Volibear and possessed her body, becoming a member of the Ursine Tribe, Sejuani has begun to hate it when others refer to her as someone else, even if she is one of the three former Ice Sisters. .
“Okay, okay…” The man sighed in disappointment, but for some reason, his eyes ignited with hope again, “Since you have inherited Avarosa’s will, then the Ice Bloodline has the power to rule the entire world. The world?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ash suddenly felt dumbfounded, “How is this possible? Although thousands of years have passed since the time of the Three Ice Sisters, we have not even completely ruled the Freljord.”
“Why is this? Haven’t we already obtained the power of the Ice Bloodline?” The man’s voice was hoarse and confused, “We defeated the Monitor, we conquered the continent of Valoran, and the three sisters should lead the people and continue to expand outwards. yes……”
Neither Ashe nor Sejuani spoke.
One of them has seen the power of Li Lin and the Ascended One, and the other has faced the demigod directly. They know the strength of the demigod.
Although I don’t know how terrifying the Frost Witch’s true strength is, even if the former Freljord warriors were of ice blood, plus Avarosa and Serelda, they would not be able to compete with the will of this land. .
At this time, Li Lin, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted: “The three sisters did not rule the world because they themselves started civil strife.”
The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pressed his forehead, his face obviously filled with pain, as if he was recalling the past that he couldn’t bear to look back on.
“Civil unrest…yes…the Explorers, some say the Explorers betrayed us.”
“Betrayal?” Sejuani felt confused, “Who can betray the three ice sisters?”
Ash’s heart suddenly pounded, “Explorer? Who is the Explorer?”
Li Lin took two steps forward and stood behind Ashe and Sejuani, “Before asking the explorer, why not listen to his story first.”
The man who had regained consciousness stared at Li Lin for a moment, then slowly shook his head and sighed. His eyes turned to Ai Xi, and he said softly: “My name is Gregor, the eternal guardian of the Howling Abyss. Avarosa personally will I kill…”
Sejuani didn’t react for a moment, “Wait, why did Avarosa want to kill you?”
Li Lin patted her shoulder angrily, “Don’t interrupt, let Gregor finish what he said.”
Tapping a warrior on the shoulder from behind is a dangerous thing, as their fighting instincts may prompt them to knock down the “enemy” behind them, and the same is true for Sejuani.
But facing Li Lin, her muscles were all tense, but she couldn’t muster any resistance. It was as if she was facing a god she couldn’t resist, just like she had faced Volibear…
After two seconds, Sejuani took a breath and reached out to pat Li Lin’s hand, “I hate people touching my shoulders.”
Gregor glanced at Li Lin and Sejuani in surprise.
The Freljord is a matriarchal clan. This is because in addition to women’s fertility, the ice blood they inherit is also much more powerful than men.
But a warrior with ice blood would actually be afraid of a warm-blooded person who clearly does not belong to the Freljord?
He couldn’t figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. This was not the focus of today.
Gregor reorganized his thoughts, and then continued: “It is actually a great honor to be killed by Avarosa. She tied my soul here so that I can blow the horn before the monitors come back. .”
He motioned to the huge horn that was more than two meters long on his back.
Even though it is currently in a spiritual state, exuding a faint green color that represents life, if you look closely, you can still see the yellow mark it originally represented.
The guardian horn of legendary quality is made using the magic power of world rune fragments. As long as it is blown, its sound can be transmitted to the entire world through the spiritual realm.
This is the horn data that Li Lin viewed through digital thinking.
“We were humans once, and then the Watchers came, and they changed us, forged us into weapons, and made us Ice Blood.”
“Wait a minute…” This time, it was no longer Sejuani who interrupted, but Ashe who looked frightened. “You mean, our bloodline is the power given by the monitor?!”
“That’s right… We are all very happy to serve the Monitor. Is there any problem?” Gregor asked.
“This is wrong! It shouldn’t be like this!” Ai Xi’s emotions collapsed and she suddenly turned her head to look at Li Lin, “What you said is actually true…”
“Ashe?” Sejuani frowned. Even during the confrontation a few years ago, she had never seen her sister show such an expression. “What is going on?”
Ai Xi obviously hadn’t told her that Li Lin had told her that the Iceborn were of Void bloodline.
“This is the truth, and the Ascended Ones proved it at the time.”
Li Lin’s tone was indifferent and he didn’t pay much attention to Ai Xi. Instead, he looked at Gregor who was floating in the air behind them.
“Also, your memory has been tampered with.”
If it weren’t for Ashe and Sejuani, Gregor would have gone crazy on the spot, “What do you mean?”
His voice was mixed with sullenness, but he suppressed it forcefully, “Are you questioning my honor?”
“No, you misunderstood, I didn’t mean it at all.” Li Lin glanced at Ai Xi.
Her chest expanded, and she took in a breath of icy cold wind. She looked at Gregor and said slowly: “We do not serve the monitors voluntarily, because their arrival will bring the end of this world.”
“This is impossible!” shouted Gregor at the top of his lungs.
“We conquered Valoran. Everywhere we went, humans shivered, and ice followed…
“We have forged a powerful empire, but it does not belong to us, but to the Watchers we serve. Avarosa unites us. She tells us that freedom is worth our lives, so we challenge the Watchers. attack.
“We know that we are stronger than them, and they have given us too much power!”
Gregor pointed toward the Howling Abyss behind him, and then to the bridge as far away as he could see.
“This is the final battlefield, this bridge. They held on for several days. Many Ice Bloods died, but we were still fighting. We crawled over the bodies of the dead and continued to attack. The monitors were still not dead.
“In the last powerful attack, we defeated them. We lifted them up and threw them out, watching them howl as they fell into the abyss.
“They are bound to die. No one can survive if they fall to such a deep place…”
Gregor spoke of an epic war in a majestic and tragic tone, and even Li Lin could subconsciously conceive of the greatness of the three ice sisters in his mind.
However… these are all fake.
“As I said, Gregor, your memory has been tampered with by the Frost Witch.” Before Ashe could ask questions, Li Lin revealed the truth without mercy.
“The Three Ice Sisters never conquered the entire continent of Valoran. They even fell apart without conquering the Freljord.”
“The monitors are the will of the void. They give you power at the cost of this vibrant planet. Once they arrive, they will bring an end to this world. Even the ice bloodline is unable to resist them. .”
“You, you, you, you… shut up! Don’t insult our honor!” Gregor was so angry that he fainted.
If it weren’t for the incorporeal form, he would have wanted to pick up a mallet and smash Li Lin’s skull.
But Li Lin just thought about himself: “There was indeed a monitor who broke out of the ice, and the other monitors followed closely. They crossed the passage between the void plane and the material plane and arrived in this world.
“But at that time, Avarosa and Serelda had already realized the danger of the void, and united to fight against Lissandra, who was still sinking into the power of the void. The Iceborn army gathered and was close to the fortress wall of the Frostguard Fortress.
“When she saw that the monitors who arrived in the material realm began to become distorted, Lissandra truly repented and used forbidden magic to extract the life force of all magical beings around her, sealing the first monitor and those who followed them in a powerful Under the perfect ice.
“She sealed the realm between dimensions, buried the monitors, and also buried her allies. The warriors who were lucky enough to survive were tortured to madness by the cries and sights in the abyss. Only Lissandra survived. to date.
“And this is the real truth about the battlefield of the Howling Abyss.”
