They didn't waste much time, and even their breakfast wasn't eaten properly. Instead, they were given a bowl of meat soup and some frozen bread. Nobody knew when it had been made. They stood up and ate the food, looking like they were in a hurry to get on the road. And that was the truth. Usually, it would take an hour to eat, but today, it didn't even take half an hour. The children who could never get enough to eat kept asking for jerky prepared for them from the women led by Sejuani.
Then, a large group of people sat on the sleigh, laughing and chatting happily. Under the escort of the knights and warriors, they slowly walked in a direction that Li Ke had never been to before. Even Sejuani, who was the vanguard, was no exception. Although she was still wearing armor and riding her frighteningly large Duvasque Boar, there was still a bag on her back. However, there was also a bag on her seat. It was obvious that it contained her underwear and other things like that.
Li Ke didn't ride with her. Instead, he sat on a sleigh full of children under Oudir's mischievous gaze.
"You have to take good care of these children. Don't let them be eaten by bears, or let these little mischievous brats disturb their parents before they finish bathing."
Oudir's meaning was very clear. He wanted Li Ke to keep an eye on these little brats so that their young parents could create a group of Winter Claw tribe members who could give birth in the most abundant food and the most gentle environment.
"You can't give me such a job, Oudir."
Li Ke looked at the little brats who were looking at him eagerly, as well as the worshipful gaze of the bearded man who was driving the sleigh, so he wanted to refuse this job.
"This is a treatment that only the most distinguished guests can receive. Li Ke, it is the glory of every warrior to tell their own heroic deeds to the children who admire them! Well, Vassily, take our great warrior to eliminate his fatigue! "
But Oudir, who also wanted to keep him, didn't give him time to explain. Instead, he ordered the silent bald man. Li Ke and the others caught up with the sleighs in front of the envious eyes of the warriors who stayed behind. Li Ke's idea of refusing this job became a bubble. He could only sit stiffly on the sleigh and answer the strange questions of these children.
For example, was he an Ice People? Did he have a big wild boar? How did he become so strong? Fortunately, there were children who asked him what it felt like to be hit by a boar! He was originally quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery. The idea of enjoying the fun of sleighing was shattered. He could only patiently answer these children's questions.
But fortunately, the silent bald man didn't make him flustered for too long. When he caught up with the large group, he led these children to sing songs. And on the way, from time to time, he would tell the children some stories about Freldrod. Li Ke, who had never heard these stories before, was very happy to hear them because these stories about Freldrod were indeed very interesting. For him, it was a kind of exotic feeling. Therefore, the journey was really fast for him. He only listened to a few stories, and they had already arrived at the hot spring not far from the new camp.
The hot spring mentioned by Oudir was a warm little valley with a large number of hot springs. It was enough for the people who came here to bathe in two groups of men and women. And between each pool was mountain rocks and strange stones. In addition to the guards and women, there was no need to worry about the problem of exposure and peeping, so they could wash up to their heart's content. And those young men and women who formed their own families also had a good place to go here. A small pool covered by stones was prepared for them. As long as there was an obvious sign, no one would disturb them. So other than the open air and the risk of exposure, this could be said to be a perfect hot spring.
But what was interesting was that although the water temperature here was very good, Li Ke didn't feel any change in temperature until he walked into this small valley. And although the temperature here was also very good, Li Ke didn't see anyone living here. Instead, he saw some small animals living here.
Of course, after they came, the fate of these small animals could be predicted.
Regarding Li Ke's doubts, the silent bald man, who was actually a chatterbox, explained to Li Ke.
"This place is too small, and there are a lot of beasts. There is no fixed food source nearby, and there are basically no trees because of sulfur. So the big tribes don't like it, and the small tribes can't guard it. And the various tribes come here from time to time, so very few people come here to live. "
"I see …"
Li Ke nodded after his doubts were explained. Then, he was pushed by the group of children towards an empty pool. The man named Vassily quickly went to greet these bold children and asked them to show Li Ke the respect of a powerhouse. But for Li Ke, he didn't hate playing with children, so Vassily's obstruction could only turn into a sigh. After all, he also wanted to have a good chat with this immortal who could be called a hero and listen to Li Ke's story. Therefore, when he saw Li Ke playing with the group of children, he could only helplessly ask the child he had just given birth to to join Li Ke.
If Li Ke knew what Vassily was thinking, he would probably only smile bitterly because he really didn't think that he had anything to say. But even if this man did not ask about her so-called 'heroic deeds', Li Ke still did not have a peaceful bath. The children who finally got the chance to go out kept making a ruckus in the pool. As a result, Li Ke had no choice but to let Vassily take a bath and focus on bathing the children.
Li Ke really didn't want to do this kind of thing where he sacrificed his own time for the 'happiness' of others. But fortunately, everyone was more considerate of these two pitiful men, so after an hour, the group of children's parents came to take their children away, freeing these two men who weren't suitable to do this at all.
"I curse Oudir, I curse him to be nagged by that horse for an entire night!"
After cursing Udier like Freilchord, Li Ke looked at the murky water in the pool and pointed at a small pool that no one had been to before. Vassily was planning to go to the large pool where men gathered to chat and brag.
"Vassily, I'm going to find a place to be quiet for a while. Please call me when it's time to leave."
Li Ke really didn't want to squeeze into a pool full of sweat with a group of muscular men, so after looking around and looking at the environment, he chose a hidden pool that no one had been to before.
"Don't you need a back scrub or something?"
Vassily, who was two times bigger than Li Ke, looked at Li Ke regretfully and made a posture to show his muscles. But he didn't know that it was his regretful gaze and posture that made Li Ke completely determined to go to the small pool alone.
"No, I can do it myself."
After saying that, he used his clothes to cover his body and walked towards the pool that he saw. After entering the pool, he found that Vassily didn't follow him and there was no one around. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. Then, he laid comfortably in the pool, emptied his mind, and enjoyed the natural hot water.
After a long time, he sat up and began to clean his body. But just as he was thinking of a way to scrub his back, he heard the sound of someone entering the water behind him. He was a little surprised, but he thought that Vassily, who was very enthusiastic about him, followed him, so he spoke helplessly.
"Okay, Vassily, help me scrub my back, then I'll scrub your back."
As he said that, he wanted to turn his head to see if it was Vassily or not. But when a cold little hand touched his back and gently pushed his skin, Li Ke turned around in shock and saw the person behind him clearly.
Because Vassily's hand was almost as big as a palm-leaf fan! So this person was definitely not Vassily!
"Sejuani!"
In front of him was Sejuani, who was also soaking in the pool water. She raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction at Li Ke's big movements.
"Lower your voice, do you want to attract everyone here?"
She walked towards Li Ke indifferently, and Li Ke also stepped back. Because the pool was too small, he directly bumped into the rock behind him after a few steps.
"What? Are you afraid of me? Didn't you ask me to scrub your back? "
She looked at the nervous and serious Li Ke and poked his chest playfully. Then, she looked at the clear pool water beside him.
"It's just that I really didn't expect that although you look so smart, you're actually a little like a donkey … But I like it."
She wanted to grab Li Ke's chin, but Li Ke directly grabbed her hand and questioned her.
"Sejuani! What do you want to do! "
But Sejuani didn't care about Li Ke's anger. She broke free from Li Ke's control and faced Li Ke, and opened her hand openly.
"Isn't this obvious? My blood alliance. "
Seeing her confident expression, Li Ke, who had no lust in his heart, only surprise and anger, suddenly realized something.
Today was probably the day he would leave the Winter Claw.
