Dreadnought Vanguard Barracks.

The recruit Sithria touched the necklace on her chest, looked at the tense military camp in front of her, and said to herself, "The battle is about to begin... Lana, give me strength..."

Sithria didn't see that, on the horizon, a crow was flying over the earth.

And the shadow cast by the crow seemed to devour the entire Demacian.

Chapter eight hundred and eighty fourth two teenagers

Anne sat alone on the balcony of the cottage.

She had just celebrated her fifth birthday last week with a lovely cake and a beautiful new dress, but Anne wasn't happy.

Because today, both her parents went to Fort Dive.

Annie knew that they were a reclusive family, not living in villages and small towns, but in deep mountains and old forests, away from crowds.

The advantages of seclusion are many, but the trouble is that the level of self-sufficiency is limited. Anne's parents have to go to Fort Dwarves in the Blackthorn Mountains to buy some necessities every once in a while, and this time is the time that Anne hates the most.

There was only one neighbor near Annie's house, and the couple also had a daughter, Daisy, who was about the same age as Annie and was Annie's only playmate.

But today Annie can't go to Daisy to play, because Daisy is sick, so Annie can only stay at home alone, her parents locked the door and windows, and Annie can't go out.

So she can only play with her little bear doll at home.

"Tibbers, do you think Mom and Dad can come back before dark?" Annie raised the teddy bear in front of her and asked seriously, "I don't want to eat canned food anymore, I want to eat macaroni and lasagna that my mother made. I still want my dad to tell me stories..."

The teddy bear named Tibbers naturally couldn't speak, but Annie curled her lips aggrievedly as if she could really hear Tibbers, and continued: "I think they will come back soon... only we are at home It's so boring, I can't play with Daisy yet..."

Tibbers didn't move.

"Only you are with me..." Annie hugged the toy bear, the bear "You are so kind..."

Annie let go of Tibbers after a long time. She looked at Tibbers' eyes made of buttons, and she seemed to feel a little better: "Tibbers... Well, if anything fun happens. All right……"

Boom!

A loud bang suddenly remembered.

Annie hurriedly hugged Tibbs hard, and stared at the direction of the voice with wide eyes.

It was the voice from the backyard.

Anne cautiously walked towards the window with Tibbs in her arms, but before she got there, she heard a crackling sound from below.

"Is it a wild boar? Or did a deer break in?" Annie was a little scared. In the past, it was his father who solved the intrusion of wild animals into the house. Annie had never faced it alone.

The sound continued, the intruder seemed to be making a scene in the backyard, and Annie became more and more afraid: "Tibbers...what should I do?"

The bear doll didn't say a word, "You're right, Tibbers." Annie clenched her fists hard, "I'm five years old, and my mother says I'm a brave child, and I didn't cry when I fell down last time. , I can eat something as bitter as green peppers, and I won't be afraid of caterpillars falling on my body... I can, I can solve this..."

boom!

The sound became louder.

Annie accidentally fell to the ground and her **** hit the ground, making Annie burst into tears.

"No...you can't cry, I haven't driven the intruder away..." Annie stood up again holding Tibbers, and she walked down the stairs step by step to the door of the backyard.

The door to the backyard was the only one that wasn't locked, and because of the high fence in the backyard, Anne's parents weren't worried that she could dig out.

And Annie also has a small flower bed of her own in the backyard, on which she planted some small flowers.

Annie was very worried that those beautiful little flowers were injured. Although they had not bloomed yet, Annie's mother told her that the flowers would be very beautiful, and Annie wanted to see them.

She pushed open the backyard door.

There was already a mess, not only Annie's flower bed, but also the vegetables and fruits grown in the backyard were brutally murdered, scattered on the ground, and even the soil turned upside down.

And the culprit behind all this was actually a little guy.

Annie looked at the little guy's orange fur, pointy ears and big tail, and at first thought it was a little fox, but when the intruder who was stealing tomatoes in the backyard turned his head, Annie didn't know what to do. Found out this is definitely not a fox.

It was a little monster that Anne had never seen before.

Big dark eyes, exposed fangs, short and small limbs, holding a half-bitten tomato in one hand, and a bone-like thing in the other.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" The little monster suddenly screamed, startling Annie.

But she quickly calmed down, and she looked at Tibbers in her arms: "You say it's not malicious?"

Tibbers didn't move.

Annie swallowed her saliva, still looking at the little monster in fear, and asked, "You... Who are you?"

"Nar! Great!" The little monster shouted inexplicably.

"Nar..." Annie looked at Tibbers, "Is it called Gnar?"

The little monster nodded vigorously several times, probably saying that Annie was right.

Annie was curious about Gnar, but she felt a pain in her heart when she saw her little flower bed was ruined.

She took care of them so carefully, deworming and watering them, and even sneaking up to look at them at night when she couldn't sleep.

But the slaves for more than half a year are so wasted, it is better to use the flowers that grow a little seedlings to be destroyed by the little monster Gnar.

Anne couldn't help crying.

Gnar was stunned. He didn't seem to understand why Annie was crying, so he approached Annie and planned to give Annie half of the tomato in his hand to tell her to stop crying.

But before Gnar got close to Annie, he stopped abruptly.

Its eyes were fixed on the little bear in Annie's arms.

Unlike Annie, who was burying her head and crying, the bear doll turned her head slowly.

Flames began to ignite on the furry little bear.

Gnar also growled in his throat. Its fur was slowly turning red, and the hairs exploded like an electric shock, and the small body began to bulge with large muscles.

Annie didn't see the changes, she just kept crying.

One of the bear's paws has grown several times larger, burning with raging flames, and sharp claws pierced from the hairy hand.

Gnar's body also swelled several times, and its fangs were rapidly growing. It grabbed the ground with one hand, and suddenly picked up a rock the size of a grinding disc.

"Nar! Are you inside?" Just as the atmosphere was tense, a childish call broke the deadlock.

Gnar instantly returned to its original state, the cute furry creature, and it saw that the flame on the little bear in Annie's arms disappeared again, as if nothing had happened just now.

Gnar scratched his head in confusion.

When Annie heard someone shouting, she raised her head hastily. She heard what seemed to be a child's voice, but it was a little different, and Annie couldn't understand what she said.

"Who is it?" Annie was frightened again.

"Hey!" I saw the figure of a child turn over from behind the fence.

It was a thinly dressed child, with black hair and black eyes, and a face full of cleverness. He looked about the same age as Annie and was about the same height.

"Male... boy?" Annie was stunned, she had never seen a boy before, the only peer she knew was Daisy, a creature like a boy had only been seen in storybooks.

"Haha! You really are here! You little troublemaker, you ran into someone's house to make a fuss!" I saw the little boy called over and hugged Gnar in his arms, rubbing his little head fiercely.

Annie stared blankly at the little boy and the little monster Gnar who was fighting with him, not knowing what to do.

Before it was over, another child's voice sounded.

A huge white figure came through the fence.

Annie was stunned, she had never seen such a creature even in a storybook.

It is almost as big as a big bear, with pure white hair, chubby like a ball, walks upright, but has four arms, a pair of deer-like horns on its head, and a naive face.

And on the head of the big white monster, there is a little boy wearing very thick clothes.

"Two boys!" Annie felt that she was running out of brains. "Where did they come from?"

Life is always full of interlopers.

Will they be friends? Or the enemy?

Chapter eight hundred and eighty-fifth youth from the north

Annie looked at the group of guys who broke into her backyard in a bewildered way.

Two little boys, one thinly and one thickly dressed, looked like companions, but didn't seem to be from the same place.

And there were two monsters, one big and one small, beside them. The four creatures were talking to each other in a language that Annie couldn't understand. Annie didn't know what they were going to do.

So Annie's tears flowed out unsatisfactorily again. She hid half of her face behind Tibbs the bear, and said in a voice that couldn't be weaker: "This is me...my house...you...go out... …”

A ray of flame ignited again on Little Bear's body.

However, the flame disappeared when the black-haired, black-eyed little boy looked at Annie.

Seeing that the little boy said something to the other little boy sitting on the big white monster, the little boy immediately took out what looked like a flute from his arms and played it.

Melodious music suddenly sounded.

Annie's eyes widened in surprise.

The only music she has ever heard in her life is her father's guitar, her mother's singing voice, and the music box she got on her fourth birthday. It's as melodious as the sky and blue mountains, like the flute of an impala crossing a cliff and struck like a lightning strike in an instant. Annie, she could only open her eyes and listen quietly, the anxiety and fear in her heart disappeared a lot.

When the flute ended, Annie was still immersed in the wonderful music, unable to extricate herself for a long time.

"Hello." The little boy with black hair and black eyes waved at Annie's eyes, "Can you understand me?"

Annie finally came back to her senses, she subconsciously took two steps back, and she said in surprise, "I...I understand you!"

"Great!" The black-haired little boy gave another little boy a thumbs up, "Success!"

The little black-haired boy was still confused when he saw Annie, so he explained, "This is my good brother Nunu. His flute can communicate with everything, isn't he amazing?"

I saw the little boy named Nunu shyly waving at Annie, and the big, white monster sitting under him also waving four arms at Annie.

Annie looked at everyone timidly: "You...Who are you..." "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." The little black-haired boy pointed at himself, "My name is Lasa, but everyone calls me Little Wolf ."

"Brother... Little Wolf..." Annie said softly.

"This naughty little guy is called Gnar, and he's a yordle." Lor Sa then brought the little orange-haired monster in his arms close to Annie.

"Nar!" Gnar grinned at Annie, not sure if he was grimacing or threatening her.

Annie was still very afraid of little Gnar, she shrank and protected herself with a bear: "Yordle..."

Anne didn't quite understand what a yordle was.

"His name is Nunu, he's my good brother." Lao Sa then introduced the two behind him, "The big guy he's sitting on is called Willump, a snowman."

"Oh hoo!" Willump waved to Annie, although it was as big as a bear, it looked really simple and honest, and it was soft and didn't seem to be aggressive at all.

"You... hello!" Nunu, a little boy in thick clothes, seemed a little shy and stammered in greeting.

"Don't mind, Nunu is not very good at talking to girls." Lao Sa said with a smile.

"Little wolf! That's not the case!" Nunu said anxiously.

"Haha, but everyone is a good person, so you don't have to be afraid." Lao Sa grabbed Gnar's little paw and waved at Annie, "I'm sorry to break into your house suddenly, what's your name?"

Annie hugged Tibbers aggrievedly. She didn't want to introduce herself, but just held back her tears and said, "You guys go out..."

"Ah?" Lu Sa was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly ordered to evict guests. He turned around and saw the backyard full of stray eyes. What a bad boy!"

Saying that, Lao Sa began to dig into Nar's head with his fingers.

Annie looked at Gnar's pitiful appearance and whispered, "What's the use of apology... My flower seedlings... and the vegetables and fruits grown by my parents can't come back..."

The more Annie thought about it, the more angry she became. The grievances and anger were brewing in her heart, but she didn't dare to fight these intruders, so she could only hold her feelings in her heart.

The little bear in her arms began to ignite a thin flame again.

Lu Sa and the others didn't notice the abnormality of the bear doll, only Nar screamed at the bear doll: "Wow quack quack! Gala Uda! Wow chacha!"

"Okay! You're still scaring people!" Lorsa gave Nar a shudder, then turned and walked to the yard, shouting to Annie at the same time, "Don't worry! I'll get you back to your original shape right away!"
