Chapter 283: Descendants of the Legend
In the courtyard, Lan Wu had a strange expression, and his eyes looked up and down at Will, who was sitting opposite. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Dry ...... Do? Will was uncomfortable by Lan Wu's gaze, subconsciously shrunk his neck, and immediately turned to Hurtado and Guerrera, desperately signaling the two of them to give him an explanation.
The two members of the team had already been sent away, and there were only four of them left in the entire courtyard. Seeing Will's eyes asking for help, Hurtado and Guerrera glanced at each other and lowered their heads in tacit understanding.
After all, Lan Wu is the real employer, and it's better not to open his mouth without getting permission, otherwise those comprehensive rejuvenation potions may be in vain.
"You are a direct descendant of the Immortal King?" Lan Wu retracted his gaze and couldn't help but secretly slander himself in his heart. I have already met the Immortal King Bourkeso. I didn't expect to come to Harogas and meet his descendants so coincidentally.
"Hmm." Will's answer was brief. But the moment he confessed, his whole person seemed to be a different person. His eyes were full of pride and pride. It can be seen that he admires his ancestor quite a lot.
Lan Wu received Will's affirmation and smiled dumbly. This answer is enough to explain why this honest boy can own such a big house in Harlogas, where every inch of land is at a premium. If it weren't for the bloodline of the Immortal King, I'm afraid that people would be eaten up before they grow up, and they would have to live on the streets. With the blood of the gods of the barbarian clan, no force would dare to bully this honest boy in this regard.
"I ...... I don't deserve such noble blood. Will's spirit suddenly collapsed, and he played with his thumbs in frustration, looking very uneasy.
"Either way, you are a descendant of the Immortal King. This time, Utama, Hurtado and I will be in charge of your safety. Guerrera looked determined, and there was a clear frenzy in her eyes. For a pure nationalist, it is a supreme honor to preserve the glory of the immortal king.
"That's right, those traitors should pay a little bit of a price." Hurtado grinned and bared his white teeth, licking his lips fiercely.
Lan Wu saw it in his eyes, and his heart moved again. It seems that there is a contradiction in the barbarian clan. His gaze swept over the two of Grayra, and finally fixed on Will's face, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a force planning to attack you, a descendant of the Immortal King?" ”
"It's the traitors of the Siseldings." Will suddenly became agitated, and his slightly green face turned red: "They want to destroy the barbarian traditions. ”
"What do you mean?" Lan Wu also became solemn. It sounds like the situation of the barbarians is even more dire than that of the Amazons. At least the Amazons are not reduced to the point of destroying tradition.
As soon as Will came to his head, Guerrera and Urtado burst into a rage, and they talked about the changes that had occurred in the barbarian clan. In the angry scolding of the two of them, Lan Wu finally got a rough idea.
Siselding, or rather his father, Hardinson, is the leader of the barbarians who have risen to prominence in the last twenty years. This strong man who came out of the traditional barbarian tribe was not conservative and stubborn. He claimed that in order to restore the former strength of the barbarian race, it was necessary to rely on the help of foreigners, that is, other professions. The first was the insistence that the barbarians intermarry with other occupations as much as possible.
Lan Wu was not impressed by this. The Barbarians have been devastated after experiencing the Battle of Original Sin that year. The population of the entire race is very small. Although it has recovered a little over the years, the population is only about 100,000 people. Compared to the nearly 1.5 million population of the entire Harlogas, it has obviously been squeezed to the limit. Harogas is not so much a holy city for the barbarians as an ordinary stronghold of humanity. It's just that the barbarian clan can still occupy a certain say in it.
There was nothing wrong with Hardinson's proposal. According to the laws of this world, for blood-honored races like the Amazons and Barbarians, the larger the population base, the more barbarians will be inherited. Intermarriage with foreigners can greatly increase the number of people with Barbarian blood. Even if less than thirty percent of the bloodlines were able to receive the inheritance, the number of barbarians would increase by at least tenfold.
But for the barbarians who cling to tradition, this proposal is nothing less than a bombshell. They never recognized the barbarians who were mixed with foreign blood but were still able to obtain the inheritance as a clansman. Hardinson, the strongest man in the clan, openly expressed his hope that he could accept this part of the hybrid barbarians, which immediately caused an uproar among the barbarians.
But in the face of endless opposition in the clan, Hardinson still stubbornly insisted on his own opinions, and even took the lead in marrying a mage. Sisredin was his son, a barbarian who was not pure. Under his leadership, more and more barbarians saw more and more hybrid barbarians coming to Hallogas, and these people also changed their minds and began to respond to Hardinson. Thus there were two very different voices among the barbarians.
One is naturally the radical faction, led by Hardinson. Intermarriage with foreigners has indeed greatly increased the number of barbarians in twenty years. There are also many barbarians who have received inheritance. Now the radicals have gained the upper hand.
On the other hand, there is the traditionalism led by rising stars such as Guerrera and Hurtado. They insisted that the barbarians must maintain racial purity, and resolutely opposed intermarriage with foreigners, believing that it would make the barbarians disappear from the world completely. Today, however, the number of this group of barbarians, who still adhere to tradition, has been greatly reduced, accounting for just over a third of the current pure-blooded barbarians.
"Hurtado, it seems that there are other professions in your team, right?" Lan Wu's gaze turned to Hurtado. As for Guerrera...... He's already ignored. Only such a fierce person would stubbornly enter the World Stone Fortress with a team of pure barbarians.
"Of course, I'm not a dead brain like Greira." Hurtado nodded happily, not forgetting to lose a word about his old rival for many years. Both of them are the best of the barbarian clan in recent years, and they have competed with each other since they were children, and neither of them is pleasing to the eye. If he can despise it, he will naturally not let it go.
"I will let you know that only barbarians are the strongest warriors." Guerrera glared with a fierce face. The temper of the barbarians is quite bad. If it weren't for the presence of Lan Wu, the gold master, he would have jumped up and called for battle.
Lan Wu directly ignored this radical big barbarian chauvinist. Times are advancing. Only cooperation and mutual compensation for shortcomings is king. In this regard, he is more inclined to Hurtado. On the basis of upholding nationalists, accepting the assistance of foreign races is the way to long-term development.
But it has nothing to do with him.
"Quiet." Lan Wu raised his hand to interrupt the two of them's mutual glare, and said with a smile: "When I come back, I will give you enough reward, as long as you can ensure that Will will come back from Utamaa alive." (To be continued.) )
