"This shouldn't be the case."
Kalen, a noble Frost Priest, squinted his eyes at Aichy who was chatting with Keira. He tried his best not to let others discover that he was staring at the Ice People who used the name of Aichy. His heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness.
After all, he had put in a lot of effort to push this superstitious b * stard named Keira to the position of the Battle Mother. He thought that she would be controlled by the Frost Priests like her mother. But he never expected that they would let Keira meet Aichy and bring her to a dark corner. Then, their plan to secretly kill Aichy was inexplicably destroyed. And that stupid b * stard Keira even ordered them to join Aichy's tribe!
"Damn it …"
But after seeing Li Ke riding over, he immediately lowered his head and tried his best to hide his presence so that he wouldn't be so conspicuous. But unfortunately, because Li Ke was looking for him, when Li Ke stopped his horse and called out his name, he felt his heart skip a beat.
Others might not know of this person's prestige, but when he communicated with the Frost Priests of other tribes through spiritual spells, he understood how terrifying this ordinary man's body was and how powerful his destructive power was. If this person wanted to kill him, he wouldn't even live to see the third swing of his sword before his head would be chopped off easily.
"Cullen, I heard from Kayla that you're a Frost Priestess and that you lead other Frost Priestesses, right?"
This was already the fourth day of traveling together with Eich. Li Ke and Eich had more or less finished discussing what they should do in the early stages of the journey. Eich also gave Li Ke a magic crystal arrow that she had condensed and wouldn't melt easily. She told Li Ke that he could use this arrow to select people from the two teams that he could use. Keira, who had been following Aichy, also told Li Ke enthusiastically that even though she was selecting talents from her tribe's army and strongly recommended her tribe's Priest Kalen to Li Ke, there were still some problems.
So Li Ke, who originally wanted to determine if there were any problems with these people, found Frost Priest Kalen, who to a certain extent monopolized medical treatment and literature. This was the Frost Priest of Keira's tribe.
"Of course, respected immortal, the hero who resisted the Noxus people as slaves."
Kalen's tone was very calm and even a little cold. Li Ke couldn't help but frown after hearing this name because this name should only be known by the people of Sejuani's tribe. It shouldn't have spread much, so how did the Frost Priest here know about it?
But Li Ke didn't ask any questions since he had a task for these people. Instead, he hid his doubts under a smile and continued with what he wanted to say.
"Then, are you willing to help us improve the medical system here? I heard from them that you are the most knowledgeable in medical technology and herbal medicine in this ice field. "
Kalen couldn't help but be angry. He raised his head and looked at Li Ke with a sneer on his face. A feeling of disdain appeared in his heart.
Herbal medicine? Medical treatment? Knowledge to serve those weak idiots? You think we treat this as an honor? Stupid, this is just to win over those weak and stupid warm-blooded people. You think I want to learn these things that are of little help to the real cause?!
He roared in his heart and didn't answer Li Ke's question. Li Ke also saw the disdain and ridicule in his eyes, so he narrowed his eyes. He knew that this guy probably wouldn't agree, and he might even say something arrogant to trip them up.
"You don't want to?"
So he asked. Kalen also sneered at this time.
"We're not people of the Ice Abyss tribe. You'd better be clear about this. Immortal, we're Frost Guards. The reason we're here is because Kalen's grandmother signed a contract with us. As long as they support the Frost Guards, we'll treat them, support them, and nurture their tribe's capable people to become Frost Priests."
He leaned closer to Li Ke. His face full of strange patterns and looked so gloomy now was also in front of Li Ke.
"So you have to understand one thing. We don't have to listen to your orders, and we don't have to share our precious knowledge with the Avarossa Tribe. The only reason we're still here is because the Ice Abyss Tribe hasn't officially signed a contract with the Avarossa Tribe. The contract between us hasn't ended yet."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"But from the looks of it, Keira won't change her mind. So, we'll leave when we reach the next village. Please don't think of such unrealistic things."
There's a problem.
Li Ke immediately realized this. After all, why didn't they leave earlier or later? They lied to him and told him that they were going to the next village. Although it was still cold here, because they were close to the tall mountains, it wasn't as cold as the north where Li Ke came from. Moreover, according to Eich, there were villages nearby. Why did they have to wait until the next village on their itinerary? And it was a village that belonged to Aichy. But he still didn't show it. Instead, he smiled and continued asking.
"I see, so that's how it is. I'm sorry for my rudeness. Please forgive me because I don't understand the situation of your land, and I don't understand your Frost Priests. I'm really sorry. "
In order to obtain information, he had to provide a part of it first. And this Kalen indeed had some doubts because of Li Ke's humble words.
Doesn't he know that Aichy is hostile toward us?
Some bold thoughts appeared in Kalen's mind. But because Li Ke was Aichy's blood ally, he wasn't as bold as he was with the other Battle Mothers. Instead, he tried his best to be careful. After all, Li Ke might be probing him. That was why he replied to Li Ke in an indifferent tone.
"It doesn't matter. Ordinary people will never be able to understand us. They will only fear us because of our abilities, so it's normal that you don't know about our situation. Moreover, after some time, you will also find out how much trouble you will encounter when you are with ordinary people without abilities."
He was always this arrogant. After all, he felt that he had the Ice Vein, shouldered a great mission, and understood the true dangers. That was why he should be this arrogant. The only ones who could truly make him lower his head were his ancestors, his master, and his mentor, the true ruler of this land, Lisandro.
"So, you're saying that you Frost Priests are all from the same tribe? And all of you have unique skills? Then why are you all scattered? "
Li Ke heard his probing, so he pretended to be curious and asked.
"Because our master, Lisandra, took pity on the children of this land."
Kalen's face revealed a fanatical expression.
