After a while, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the tent.

I saw him with a big beard, shirtless, and arms as strong as iron lumps, looking like a standard ice-field strongman.

"Udyr, you look much the same as before." Sejuani's attitude could not be described as very enthusiastic.

After all, Udyr's abilities were often out of control. She had heard stories of his bloodthirsty and violent deeds when she was a child, and she was still wary of this powerful and "crazy" beast spirit walker.

But Udyr has completely changed.

Although his appearance is similar to that of back then, the irritability and madness in his eyes that could get out of control at any time are no longer there.

"Sejuani." Udyr looked at her young face, with a hint of kindness in his eyes: "You have grown up."

"Yes." Sejuani was not in a hurry to reminisce about the past. She only asked with concern: "How did you find our tribe?"

It is risky to let others know your whereabouts on the ice sheet.

"I have many animal friends on the ice sheet." Udyr smiled.

"I spent a lot of time, asking all the way, and looking for it."

"Troublesome beast spirit walker." Sejuani muttered.

Then she said bluntly: "My mother has died a long time ago. If you came back because of her, then you came back in vain."

"I know." Udyr's expression darkened: "I heard this from the wild boars of your tribe on the road."

Sejuani was stunned for a moment: "Weird."

"Are you leaving then?" she asked directly.

"No." Udyr shook his head: "I came back not only for your mother, but also for the Claws of Winter."

"You want to return to the tribe?" Sejuani looked seriously.

She is well aware of Udyr's power. And after many years of absence, Udyr now seems to have control over his abilities.

A powerful and rational beast spirit walker, he is welcomed by all ice tribes.

"Yes." Udyr nodded: "I hope to return to Winter's Claw. This is the place where I was raised, and... I swore to protect your mother and what she cherishes.

everything."

"This... okay." Unexpectedly, this old guy is quite infatuated, Sejuani thought to herself.

But that's fine. She will definitely not lose money if she prostitutes a powerful beast spirit walker for nothing.

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Udi pause for a moment, then raised his head and said seriously: "I also hope that it can bring new opportunities to Winter's Claw."

"Opportunity?" Sejuani was slightly startled.

She said with vigilance: "Do you have any prey to grab, do you want to point it out to me?"

"No." Udyr shook his head: "I want to show Winter's Claw a clear path, a path that no longer has to starve and freeze."

"This..." Sejuani felt that he was a little crazy.

No need to go hungry or cold again? Even the most affluent Avarosa Alliance would not dare to say that.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Sejuani asked.

"I want you to come to Ionia with me." Udyr said surprisingly.

"Huh?" Sejuani was stunned. This old thing is really crazy!

"You want us to cross the vast sea and grab Ionia?"

The last person to do this was Ivern the Heartless.

As a result, this ancient strong man who could compete with the three sisters never came back after leaving the sea, and became a negative example in the myths and legends of Freljord.

In short, even if you don’t take into account the distance that can starve people to death on the road... Is the virgin land across the sea so easy to grab?

"Don't worry." Udyr shook his head and said, "Because I'm not taking you to plunder, I'm taking you to settle there."

"Settle down? Go to Ionia?" Sejuani was even more stunned. She suspected that she was hearing a bad joke.

"Yes." Unexpectedly, Udyr was serious: "In the past few years, I have been studying Taoism and practicing in Ionia across the sea, and I have made many friends in Ionia."

Back then, he followed an Eastern warrior named Li Qing to Ionia, just to find a way to fully master the power of the gods.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Noxus invading Ionia as soon as he went there, forcing him to follow Li Qing and become an anti-Noxian for several years.

The war continues, and Udyr is also practicing with Li Qing while defending this land with him.

Later, the leader comes...

"I made many friends in Ionia, and they are all very good people." Udyr tried his best to explain in words that the ice natives could understand:

"My friends will accept us generously, so that Winter's Claw can live in a harmonious and peaceful land forever."

"Fertile land, warm sun, endless vegetables and bread, these will no longer be dreams."

Udyr casually painted a dreamlike and beautiful picture, which stunned the children nearby.

But Sejuani is not a child: "You mean, thousands of miles away, there is a group of strangers we have never met before, who are willing to give us land for free and let us live there?"

How many dishes have you had to drink before you even have such a dream?

"And..." Sejuani looked strange: "A harmonious and peaceful life?"

Harmony and peace?

She finally discovered what was most wrong with Udyr.

Who is Udyr?

He is a pure beast spirit walker, a person who uses the power of the gods and adheres to the ancient ways of the old gods.

He firmly believes that the mysterious land of Freljord must rely on struggle and conflict to be nourished.

Harmony and tranquility will only make people weak. They will be unable to withstand the harsh wind and frost of the ice sheet.

Therefore, the ice sheet cannot be unified, united, let alone have any harmony and tranquility.

This would make it too easy for people to survive in the Freljord, which would mean no struggle or growth, which would prevent the spirit of the Freljord from lasting...

To put it bluntly, it means letting everyone be savages, the more savage the better.

It's good if everyone lives in a small tribe. Otherwise, if there are too many people in a group, the difficulty of the game will drop and it will be boring.

Udyr's philosophy actually has a bit of Volibear's flavor.

However, Volibear is even more extreme - this ancient god believes that the ice field should always remain as it was in ancient times.

She believed that ice people should constantly fight and hunt, and even farming and grazing were breaking the ancestral methods.

She once destroyed a dam built by her followers during an advent, just because she felt that dams, a creation that could increase productivity and make humans live more comfortably, went against the ancient ways of the Freljord.

Anyway...

In Ashe's eyes, Sejuani is extreme.

In Sejuani's eyes, Udyr is extreme.

In Udyr's eyes, Volibear, who completely denied human civilization, was even more extreme.

Udyr's original extreme level was probably at a level second only to Volibear.

But now he...

"You actually talked to me about harmony and peace?" Sejuani couldn't believe it: "You also asked us to move to a warm place and live a stable life like those farmers?"

"What exactly have you been through?"

She really couldn't imagine what kind of power could make this extreme beast spirit walker undergo such a big change.

But Udyr just replied calmly: "Because I met a new god in Ionia."

"She made me understand that unity does not necessarily mean weakness, and tranquility does not necessarily mean stagnation."

"The world is in constant motion. The unity of all people will not only not bring about stagnation, but will also burst out with incredible power and bring about earth-shaking changes to the world."

"Um..." Sejuani didn't understand. She just thought he was a bit distracted.

And this is normal. As the most powerful beast spirit walker in history, Udyr can originally communicate with the gods and use the power of the gods.

She just thought it was because Udyr had gained some new divine power in Ionia, which affected his brain.

"Okay, I roughly understand what you mean." Sejuani rubbed her eyes, looking impatient.

Then predictably, she said, "I reject your offer."

"Winter's Claw will not leave the Freljord, let alone go to Ionia."

She must be crazy to move the entire tribe across the sea because of Udyr's few words.

Normal people would refuse.

"I understand your concerns." Udyr had already expected this: "But I still hope that you can let me stay in Winter's Claw."

"Perhaps you can give me some time and let me slowly tell you about what I saw in Ionia."

"By then, I think you will understand me."
