During this trip to Frostguard Fortress, Lissandra allowed Li Lin to build the first line of defense in Howling Abyss. He achieved his goal, but Ashe was different.

She originally wanted to negotiate with Lissandra about the unification of Freljord, but unexpectedly, she was taken to the Howling Abyss by Lissandra to contact the sealed Watcher, cleverly avoiding the problem.

Ashe naturally knew Lissandra's plan, and could also see the malice she had hidden in her heart towards herself and Sejuani, just because they were the descendants of Avarosa and Serylda, and might be the reincarnations of the two legendary sisters. She also knew the truth that Lissandra tried to hide.

But now, according to Li Lin, Lissandra controls the important power to prevent the Watchers from breaking the seal, and the seal can no longer be maintained for much longer. The Watchers seem to be ready to move, and Lissandra must try her best to barely suppress them.

[To be honest, I've been using Yeguo Reader to keep up with updates lately. It's easy to switch between sources, and has a variety of reading voices. .yeguoyuedu is available for both Android and Apple devices.]

Combined with the cooperation with Li Lin, at least in the short term, Lissandra will not affect the unification of Freljord, as long as Ashe avoids the small area where the Frost Guard is active.

However, after seeing the Watcher, Ashe is no longer entirely focused on unifying her homeland. After all, the Void has descended and swallowed the entire world, and Runeterra itself can hardly be protected, let alone a mere Freljord ice field?

As the war mother of the Avarosa tribe, she can still distinguish between what is important and what is not.

After leaving Frostguard Fortress, Ashe and Sejuani returned to the place where Gregory was sealed, wanting to ask him about the legend of the Three Ice Sisters in detail.

Li Lin returned to the Twin Cities without stopping and did not stay in Freljord for too long.

Not long after he arrived at the Frostguard Fortress, the intelligent computer sent a message from a mechanical engineer that one of the intelligent bell rats hired to explore the trench terrain that was about to be transformed had discovered a harp that could control the mind, which was likely to be a new living Darkin weapon.

Fortunately, there were mechanical engineers present at the time, and the bell mouse that discovered the harp was prevented from accidentally releasing the seal. Otherwise, if it suddenly revived, the Darkin who had not yet returned to Azir's control would have destroyed everything and started a killing spree.

At present, the mechanical engineers have evacuated the few remaining people in the trench area, and the intelligent computer has also notified the Shurima Empire.

Upon hearing that the living weapon was a harp, Aatrox volunteered to teleport to the War Academy and soon arrived at the target location.

The vision changed, and Li Lin was directly teleported from the ice field to the lower level of Zaun. Aatrox had been waiting there for a long time.

"Li Lin." He simply nodded and greeted her, with golden light flashing in his eyes and extremely excited.

Li Lin didn't remove his armor yet. He nodded in return to Aatrox and asked in surprise, "Is this another one of your former subordinates?"

The Darkin ballista that sealed Naganeka found in the Ionian province of Navoli, and the Darkin halberd that sealed Tarusi found in the Shadow Isles were both under Aatrox's control, and now the same is true for this Darkin harp.

Li Lin can only say that he is worthy of being one of the most legendary ascenders in the Shurima Empire. Aatrox's prestige in the army is almost catching up with the "National Grand Secretary" Nasus.

"Yes, her name is Stiratu, a great elemental mage ascended from Ixtal!"

"Her?" Li Lin looked Aatrox up and down and jokingly said, "You weren't this excited the last time we found Tarusi."

"this……"

Aatrox was, quite unusually, speechless for a moment, unsure how to answer this question. He could only chuckle awkwardly and mutter, "That's different. If Stilatu had broken through the seal and not seen me, he'd probably have gone mad..."

Li Lin's eyes looked strange, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

He had to doubt the relationship between them because of the existence that could make a "league's foul-mouthed expert" speechless.

However, after ascending, the ascenders basically lose all human physiological characteristics except for their voices, and they also lose some human emotions. So how do the emotions of "love" arise between them?

Or maybe I guessed wrong, and the bond between them is just a pure comradeship?

Li Lin shook his head and put aside all distracting thoughts. Now was obviously not the time to think about this.

The Darkin Harp lay buried beneath the earth, concealed by a floor of heavy stone and scrap metal.

Since the sewer needed a complete renovation, Bell Mouse was assigned to explore the sewer. He accidentally discovered a corner that was exposed. After scanning it with a mechanical engineer, he learned that it was a living harp that sealed the Darkin.

Mechanical engineers are carrying out excavation tasks. They are not human and have no flesh and blood. The blood magic controlled by the Darkin has no effect on them.

Matter fission technology can easily decompose any real-world substance. In just a few minutes, a darkin harp with a hideous overall appearance, black and red in color, obsidian-like bone spurs protruding, and strings like wild burning flames appeared in the sight of Li Lin and Aatrox.

The holy light in Aatrox's eyes stirred more frequently, and an expression as if reminiscing about the glorious days of the past appeared on his scale-covered face.

Without saying a word, he jumped into the deep pit and picked up the harp. The harp, which was almost as long as a strong adult man, seemed to fit perfectly in the hands of this five or six meter tall god.

With the infusion of a wisp of magic, the Darkin Harp instantly rose up with a manic and scorching flame. After a short moment, as if sensing the breath of the Ascendant, it instantly became soft and wrapped around Aatrox's obsidian body.
