Chapter 8: Sword Forging
[Human Record: Savage Nation (1)]: The Eurotas River flows down from the sacred mountain and gives birth to a fighting people at the end of its entry into the Aegean Sea.
Spartan children were armed from an early age, and healthy and strong Spartan men did not produce, but obtained food and wealth by plundering and enslaving the helots.
-----------------------------------------------------
This man is the most powerful warrior of this Spartan tribe, the biological father of Wang Kui's body, Quillio.
Quillio looked at his sleeping son with no expression on his face, and in his perception, his son's heart rate was steady and he was breathing smoothly, but the heart in his chest was thumping loudly, as if every beat was a powerful drum.
After watching quietly for a while, Quillio slowly spoke, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I can't feel the will of the beast soul at all. ”
Beast spirits are another form of existence after the death of beasts, and although they are controlled by the Spartans like tamed fierce horses, they still have a consciousness of their own.
"Can't you feel the power of the beast soul...... Even the five-headed beast soul has been annihilated, what kind of existence is this......"
Kratos ...... Kratos!"
Wang Kui heard the call and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and a girl who looked to be about 16 or 17 years old, but her face was still childish.
Although she is a girl, her limbs are extremely strong, even the muscles on her neck are bulging obviously, and she moves quickly in the mountains and forests with bare feet, and she came to Wang Kui in front of her in less than a while.
"Akali, why are you here? ”
Wang Kui asked casually when he saw the comer, and then pushed the pig beast on his shoulder hard, moving its position more steadily.
It was a huge animal, as large as the Ermantos boar, but its strength was so far from that even an ordinary human soldier with a weapon could easily defeat a pig-mon, and the pig-beast was one of the most common types of meat in the Peloponnese.
It was such a huge and heavy pig beast, which was actually effortlessly resisted by Wang Kui on the shoulder, and the mountain-like size was in stark contrast to Wang Kui's normal adult-like body size.
"Kratos, we're all fighting against beast spirits and learning how to manipulate them, and you're hunting in the woods by yourself, watch out for my father's hard work. ”
"Hahaha, Akali, Uncle Accra is no match for me now. Okay, I'll go back now, don't you like to eat big pork legs the most? Come to my house and tear all the legs for you later. ”
Akali immediately put aside the matter of Wang Kui going to the mountains to hunt privately, and said with a smile: "Kratos, I will exercise my body and give birth to the strongest offspring for you." ”
Wang Kui was speechless, although he knew that Akali was devoted to him. Not only that, but in this world of worshipping strength, he is also the object of affection of all the women of the entire tribe. But Wang Kui, who has memories of his previous life, is a Spartan woman who can't mention the slightest sexual interest.
Although Wang Kui is only 14 years old today, his body has completely grown into an ordinary person, and his angular body can't hide the strength contained in it, which can crush all the fitness beauties in his previous life.
In his previous life, Wang Kui was not an abstinent and clean person, and after walking in a life and death crisis, he would find beauties from all over the world to vent his emotions. And now as he gets older, Wang Kui naturally begins to move, but in any case, he can't be interested in the five big and three thick Spartan women, he is only interested in slender and charming women.
The heavy pig beast smashed on the ground with a loud bang, Wang Kui clapped his hands and shouted at his home, and then took out a bone knife pinned to his waist and plunged it into the corner of the pig beast's mouth, from this part he could easily pull off the fur completely.
Marama lifted the curtain and walked out, and when she saw that her son had captured such a huge meat again, she immediately smiled on her face, and the pride in her eyes could not be concealed.
Among the tribes of Sparta, men were proud of their strength, while women were proud of their ability to raise powerful warriors. This is also the reason why Wang Kui is so sought-after among the tribes, and today's women of appropriate age all regard him as their marriage and childbearing partners. And the only thing that makes Wang Kui feel fortunate is that the men of Sparta have to continue to undergo hard training from an early age, and a true Spartan warrior must reach the age of 30 before he can get married, because only then is the peak of the Spartan warrior, so that he can produce the best bloodline offspring for the tribe.
Wang Kui skillfully peeled the skin with his hands, while looking at the dozen or so young Spartan warriors in the center of the clearing, under the stone statue of the god of war, all kneeling on one knee and praying intently.
And what is strange about this act of divine faith is that the expressions of these young warriors are all painful and distorted, as if they are suffering greatly.
Wang Kui's eyes narrowed slightly, and his pupils flashed with an inexplicable essence, and in his eyes he could vaguely see that the bodies of these young Spartans were roaring with all kinds of beasts, or snake heads, or lion heads, or wolf heads. Some of them have clear expressions, while others are blurry, and they can't even distinguish their appearances.
After passing the adult test at the age of 12, ordinary Spartan warriors will choose their own beast soul and fuse their bodies under the supervision of the clan elder Abu and the chief warrior of the tribe, Querio.
In the years after the successful fusion of the infusion, these young Spartan warriors spent time in the confrontation and struggle with the beast soul, and the slightest carelessness would be eroded by the violent beast soul, and finally lose their minds and fall into infinite madness.
From the fusion of the body to the complete control of the beast soul, it takes 2 to 4 years for the average Spartan warrior, and generally those who cannot tame the beast soul for more than 4 years will fall into madness without exception.
Akali had returned from outside the tribe, but instead of joining the group that was still fighting the beast spirits under the idols, she stood by the side of his father, Accra, and another young Spartan warrior, who had been rewarded with the Bronze Shortsword, was also watching.
Lyctans has a distinctly outstanding talent among the young Spartans of this generation, and it took only 1 year to completely control the power of the beast soul, and now he has been recognized by the chief warrior Querio, and has officially become a qualified Spartan warrior, and will start to join the hunting team for the first time before the arrival of this winter.
As if sensing the gaze, Luktans turned his head, and when he saw that it was Wang Kui, his face instantly turned pale, and he immediately turned his head with a cold snort, staring at the team below that was praying intently, as if there was a fierce beast hidden inside.
Wang Kui didn't care at all when he saw this, the other party was just a child's battle of will, and there was no need for him to take it to heart.
At this time, Wang Kui's father, Quirio, also came out of the tent, he was still in a strong posture, with a mysterious pattern of gray-white ash drawings on his bare chest and bald head.
"Kratos, you come with me. ”
Hearing his father's words, Wang Kui violently peeled off the rough fur of the entire wild boar, and then handed the bone knife in his hand to his mother Malama, and strode away with Quillio's back.
In Wang Kui's memory, his father was a typical Spartan, powerful, but brutal and rude, and he grew up in the beating of Quilio since he was a child.
But I don't know when Wang Kui found that his father suddenly became silent, and began to live in seclusion, and even stopped participating in the annual hunting tour.
After walking for a short time along the gravel mountains, I saw a cave with obvious traces of artificiality, and the entrance of the cave was covered with branches and dead leaves, allowing wild beasts to enter unexpectedly.
This cave Wang Kui also visited, and it was a cave used by the tribe to store things, and surplus food and animal leather bones would be stored here.
Quillio went all the way to the depths of the cave, groping for something in a hollow in the middle of the rock face.
Forgetting to look at Quillio's back, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart, he actually felt that his father, who was an extremely powerful warrior in the history of the tribe, gave him a feeling of weakness.
It was a vague feeling of emptiness and weakness on the outside of a strong body.
At this point, Quillio seemed to have finally found something, and took out an object the size of a human head in the small depression, the light green surface was covered with uneven particles, and it seemed to be quite heavy.
"Kratos, the trajectory of the north wind has become clearer and clearer, and the patrol team has begun to assemble, from this year onwards, you will participate in my place, and I will let Accra forge this bronze stone into your own weapon. ”
This piece of stone the size of a human head is actually a precious bronze ore, and judging from the color, there is a lot of bronze content, at least it can melt more than half of the bronze fluid.
At this time, Wang Kui already knew that the most precious metal in this world was bronze, although gold was as precious as bronze, but for the self-sufficient Spartans, there was no doubt that bronze that could make weapons was more valuable than currency gold.
"Kratos, this piece of bronze is not small, it is enough to make a bronze longsword, it seems that Querio has taken out all the treasures at the bottom of his box. ”
Accra threw the entire bronze ore into the red-hot furnace, which was a natural furnace carved out of the rock in the middle of the mountainside, with two arcs at the bottom and the top of the fuel stack, the whole furnace was like a gourd, and the special space completely compressed the temperature of the flame in it, which was a natural forging blast furnace with ingenuity.
