As a precaution, Avarosa chose Gregor and sealed him here. If the mission against Lissandra and the Watchers fails and they break out of the ice, Gregor must blow the Guardian's Horn to alert the rest of the world that war is coming.
"this……"
Ashe and Sejuani were dumbfounded, speechless at the truth that was buried in the long river of history.
Feng Shuang wailed for more than ten seconds before Ashe finally calmed down. She looked at Li Lin cautiously and asked:
"But if Lissandra truly wanted the Watchers to descend upon Runeterra, why did she pray to Ornn, the great creator of all things, the god of fire and forge, to build the bridge?"
She pointed to the sturdy bridge that spanned the Howling Abyss in the distance. It had stood firm in the winds and blizzards for nearly ten thousand years, and had even experienced the ravages of war. However, it was stronger than anything that had ever existed in history, not even pure ice.
"Orn dug a deep abyss large enough to hold a continent in order to contain the 'monsters' the three sisters spoke of, but Ornn had no intention of creating a stone bridge for them.
The three sisters deceived Ornn, telling him that the abyss was too deep for them and their people to pass through, and that ordinary craftsmen could not build a bridge with the alien ores they collected, so Ornn used the stones to make a shovel, and then used the remaining materials to create the bridge.
"But in reality, they didn't need a bridge at all. After Ornn reluctantly agreed to build it and completed it, they immediately summoned the shamans to cast a sealing spell on the bridge, turning it into a 'bolt' to delay the Watchers' arrival in Runeterra.
"But that magic will erode the bridge itself. Without it, the bridge would last forever. But now, it will collapse, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, or in a few years or decades.
"One day, the Watcher will break free from the seal and return to this land."
As Avarosa's most trusted warrior, Gregor knew most of what Li Lin said, but he did not know that the three Ice Sisters had deceived Ornn.
Although he had doubts in his heart, after experiencing a series of events just now, Gregor's mind was now completely focused on Lissandra, and he ignored Li Lin's "disrespect" towards the three sisters.
Gregor's silence basically meant he agreed, so Ashe and Sejuani naturally took Li Lin's words seriously.
"You..." Ashe pursed her lower lip, staring at Li Lin with hesitation in her ice-blue eyes, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind. Ask whatever you want," Li Lin said indifferently. "But if possible, please try to ask the most important questions now. We have more important things to do later."
"What do you want to do now?" Sejuani's expression was numb, and the question she asked was blurted out subconsciously.
Shocked by the hidden historical truth, she would no longer be surprised no matter what Li Lin would do next.
Li Lin had a faint smile on his face and did not answer the question. His eyes met with Ashe's, waiting for her question.
Ashe frowned slightly and hesitated for a long time. Finally, all her emotions and questions turned into a long sigh, and she only asked one question: "Why do you know so much?"
As soon as she asked this question, she forced a self-deprecating smile, as if she had already known the answer. "Forget it... Look at the way I asked it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
With the legendary Twilight Aspects following him and being on good terms with the god-warriors of the Shurima Empire, it didn't seem difficult for him to know these historical truths.
Li Lin guessed what Ashe was thinking, but did not deliberately correct her because there was no need to do so.
He simply returned Ashe's smile before suggesting, "Now that we've met our old acquaintance, we should go visit the Frost Witch."
