The cunning rabbit has three burrows, the foolish rabbit has one.

"Middarda?!"

Herren suddenly realized.

No wonder he found the sign familiar... There was a sign this big at the family residence of a certain Trisolaran in Piltover, so Herren had a vague recollection of it.

This explains why there were Piltover's gadgets on board; the Middarda family is also a prominent family in Piltover, and Mel is a well-known angel investor.

The Middarda family... that's a powerful family in Noxus. Even in the game from my previous life, they produced three heroes.

The fierce wolf mother Ambeza Middarda, the luminous Mel Middarda, and the future protector of the live-in son-in-law, Jess Middarda...

Well, Jess should be considered half of it, since he didn't agree to marry into the family; he also has his own Talis family.

However, although Middarda is a noble family in Noxus, for Herren, if he really offended a Noxian noble this time, it would be good news.

The Middarda family will be ostracized by the center of power and will be in dire straits, even forcing the patriarch, Ambeza, to seek refuge at her daughter's home. This might actually be good news in the face of potential retaliation.

Of course, Harren didn't know what the current timeline was like. Had the Hextech Gate been established? Had the Trifalli Council been formed? Had the Idea Queen begun her persecution of Middarda? In the remote and impoverished Freljord, Harren was completely isolated and knew nothing about the outside world.

After searching carefully, Herren found no other useful information, only the captain's trinket... an exquisite pocket watch with internal gears that could be seen turning through its transparent case.

Other items such as gold coins, calligraphy and paintings, and weapons and decorations that Heron considered crudely made were unnecessary to take.

After doing all this, Herren carried his bags and packages out of the captain's cabin and jumped off the ship.

Meanwhile, Sejuani and her group were already there, fully prepared and ready to go.

Sejuani had moved one of the Gyvask saddles onto Steelmane. The saddle was obviously a bit small for Steelmane's larger size, but it was still usable.

The vacated Juvask can be used to load more supplies.

"Finally down here, Herren. I thought you'd taken a fancy to the Noxians' soft beds and were planning to sleep here tonight."

"You've reminded me, Sejuani, could you ask Steelfur to help me carry a bed back?"

"Ha! Dream on. I asked Udir, and he said Steelfur is still a young Juvask and can't do heavy work."

"……childhood?"

Herren's eyes twitched. He stared at the bristles, which looked as if they could swallow any adult Juvask boar whole, and fell into deep thought.

Is he eight years old?

"Alright, stop wasting time, Herren. I can't wait to go back and see those idiots' astonished expressions. I just hope they can hold their jaws and not drop them."

Sejuani rode triumphantly on Steelmane's back, saying with a hint of smugness, "Herren is fine, but Urkas and the others are extremely obsequious."

"I just hope they can hold their chins up so they don't fall to the ground."

Even the former war mother didn't have white hair...

"Now they should realize just how stupid they were."

Sejuani was easily swayed by this, but what she really wanted to hear wasn't their flattery.

"What do you think, Herren? Why aren't you reacting at all?"

"What? I knew this would happen. Do I need to react much?"

Helen chuckled as he climbed onto Juvask's back.

"Awakening really makes a difference, huh? Just a couple of days ago she was begging me, and now she's picking on me."

"Hmph... There will always be a time when I have to beg you again, but for now, at least give me some response."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Herren cooperated by displaying an exaggerated expression.

"The greatest war mother of the Winter's Claw, awakened the bloodline of ice at such a young age... When I was your age, I was still hiding in the Hearth Village hammering rings."

Although Heron's performance was somewhat perfunctory and exaggerated, Sejuani still showed a satisfied expression.

"Alright! Let's go! We're heading back to the tribe!"

At this moment, Udyr, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"By the way, Harren, you'd better stay away from Sejuani... that Juvask you're riding seems to have a thing for Bristleback, and Bristleback hates it."

"ha?!"

Helen looked at Juvas under his crotch in surprise. Wasn't Steelmane still... a child?

Oh no, is there a shota fetishist... or a lolicon?

……

……

In the Winter's Claw tribe, the War Mother's temporary departure did not affect the tribe's normal operations in the slightest.

After all, the Winter's Claws had already gone through the War Mother who had to go out every now and then... Kujiya has finally managed to get them sorted out.

Even without orders from the war mother, they can still perform most of their daily tasks in an orderly manner.

Those who went hunting went out on their own, while those who stayed behind either kept watch on the perimeter or sharpened arrowheads for hunting or cooked a pot of soup for the returning soldiers.

In a corner unnoticed by the patrolling soldiers, a ripple appeared faintly in the white snow, and then two fluffy rabbit ears peeked out.

Next, half of Ara's face emerged, observing her surroundings with a mixture of wariness and curiosity.

Aurora is able to freely travel between the material and spiritual worlds, possessing an innate ability to stealthily move between them.

Logically speaking, she didn't need to sneak around... She wasn't there to cause trouble, she was there to find someone, a beast spirit walker named Udyr... But she didn't know Udyr, didn't know what he looked like, so it would be best for her to show herself and ask honestly.

However, despite a long period of mental preparation, Aurora still couldn't make up her mind.

"Ahistriel, do you think if we wait here... there's a chance Udyr might just happen to pass by?"

"..."

"Okay, I know that's unlikely, but... I really don't want to deal with people."

"..."

"Oh! I understand, I will... I just need to prepare a little more."

"..."

"I didn't prepare for very long... What do you mean I didn't prepare anything! I tried very hard to convince myself!"

After muttering to herself for a long time, Alara finally made up her mind. When another Winter's Claw warrior patrolled past, Alara gritted her teeth and suddenly jumped out.

"Hello! My name is Aurora! I'm looking for someone named..."

"God! Monster!!"

The warrior, who had spotted a pair of rabbit ears in the snow and was thinking of catching a rabbit for a treat, was suddenly startled when a person jumped out of the snow. He almost fainted, and his hand instinctively raised his spear and thrust it forward.

"..."
