Chapter 22: Diplomatic Missions: Fateful Choices
The members of the team looking for Beamon's lair were quickly identified.
But it's not that fast.
The barbarian tribe is in ruins.
The savage tribes of Tedamir need to absorb the various small tribes to complete the integration.
Even the tribes of the chieftains of Tydamir have grown and expanded.
The southern part of the permafrost tundra was a new territory for the Tadamirs.
More camps and defenses need to be built.
All sorts of complicated things are not so easy to accomplish.
Since the last decision, Edward has officially become a member of the Barbarians.
At the same time, in order to play to his advantage, Edward, a human mage, easily became a diplomat of the nascent barbarian tribe.
Although Edward is still very young, he is still quite good.
The surrounding Ice Elves and Unicorn Duchies have already laid a good diplomatic foundation.
And the main thing is probably the rune dwarf.
Rune dwarves, although they live mainly underground, also live somewhere above ground.
Fortunately, these dwarves belonged to the Winterwind clan that Edward was more familiar with.
Although Edward tricked Ulfstein when he left, the news of the formation of the Unholy Alliance was still very helpful to the dwarves.
The dwarves isolated in the northern underworld have established a more aggressive defensive strategy, and it is said that Ulfstein has returned to the center of dwarven power because of this achievement.
Only this time Ulfstein offended the king even more, because he poked the news directly to the parliament instead of the king.
Despite the fact that Ulfstein actually passed the news to his brother, Rolf Winterwind, who was also the kingdom's minister and a close retainer of the king. Unfortunately, in the end, the king did not receive the news.
Disappointed, Ulfstein had no choice but to take such a radical approach.
I heard that in the Great Hall of the Rock (the main hall of the Dwarven Palace), the Dwarven King Torgoha was angry and broke one of his favorite red crystal cups.
Because of the dark elves in the face, the feud of the dwarves. So this time, the dwarves changed their previous slowness and actively responded to the possible attack of the dark elves.
In this case. Ulfstein, as the main discoverer and a powerful figure in the army, immediately became popular.
In this way, Edward was able to communicate well with the dwarves.
Being able to get in touch with the dwarves is actually the most important thing, as the dwarves are the main force in curbing the Frost Witch's invasion. For decades, the dwarves have been fighting the frost monsters from the north in a place known as the frost rift, so that the peace in the north can be maintained in the north for so many years.
Therefore, the rune dwarves are the well-deserved overlords of the Northlands, and Edward's ability to get the dwarves' answers naturally made Tydamir overjoyed.
Knowing that the barbarians are willing to fight the Frost Witch with the dwarves, the dwarves who are struggling to fight the dark elves find it too interesting to have someone to help them share the pressure.
So the generous dwarves provided the barbarians with a large number of weapons, knowing that these were excellent weapons made by the dwarves. Something that is difficult in the human kingdom.
Seeing Edward bring back a large number of dwarven weapons made Edward once again the most recognized human brother of all barbarians. Most of the leaders expressed their affection for Edward.
Edward overfulfilled his task, and almost had Tedamir persuade him to abandon his plan to go to Beamon's Lair, but Edward insisted on going, and finally Tedamir stopped trying to persuade him.
After Edward gave the dwarves a large amount of minerals from the Northlands and gained more friendship with the dwarves, the barbarians and the rune dwarves finally formed an alliance.
For this reason, many of the eastern barbarians who had been oppressed by the Frost Witch had taken refuge in Tydamir.
Once everything was on track, the team searching for Beamon's lair finally set off without anyone knowing.
Of course, this matter can't be hidden for too long, but there are spirit walkers in charge. The three surrounding forces have all established a good alliance, and except for the minions of the Frost Witch that appear from time to time, it is believed that no other threats will appear.
In fact, Tedamir was reluctant to take Edward's little brother with him on this trip.
From meeting Edward. This little human brother has done a lot for Tydamir, especially his status as a human mage, which makes him perfectly qualified for the position of barbarian diplomat.
In this case, it would be too dangerous for Edward to accompany him on an adventure to Beamon's lair.
You must know that the Frozen Mountains are the lair of the Frost Witch, and the Frost Witch is nothing more than a legendary powerhouse.
The surrounding barbarians, elves, and dwarves were all provoked by her. This crazy woman allowed her men to attack any race within her sphere of influence, probably because of the chaotic nature of the demons she possessed.
But she still survives to this day. It's not that the legendary powerhouses of other races don't want to trouble her, it's just that in an extremely cold place like the Frozen Mountain Range. Like the Frost Witch's natural legendary realm, where the Frost Witch is almost invincible, which is why the Frost Witch has not left the Frozen Mountains for so many years.
And now that Tydamir and the others have to be automatically sent to the door, if they are discovered by the Frost Witch, it will be difficult for others to escape the poisonous claws of the Frost Witch except for the already legendary Tydamir.
However, the Spirit Walker told Tydamir that if he didn't have Edward, it would be difficult to find Beamon's lair.
In fact, the Great Chief and the Great Shaman would have known about Beamon's lair, and there was also a map of the location of Beamon's lair at the Ancestral Altar of the Barbarian King's Capital.
But now, because of the death of the two legends and the occupation of their hometowns, there are no more people in the know.
And these terrifying war beasts are not the little brothers that can be sent at will.
Except for the fact that the Barbarian can only use the Covenant when he is alive and dead, there are other times when a large tribute must be provided, so the Barbarian will not trouble Beamon.
It has been hundreds of years, and the barbarians are not in a hurry to Beamon.
So it's normal that no one remembers the location of Beamon's lair.
Beamon's terrifying prowess is recorded throughout the history of the Barbarians, so Tydamir must enlist Beamon's help if he wants to revive the Barbarian race.
So, all in all, Tedamir didn't forcefully reject the advice of the spirit walkers.
The same Spirit Walker also approached Edward, and directly bribed a small piece of Starry Sky Mithril.
Naturally, the money-hungry Edward agreed to the offer.
In fact, when Edward heard what the spirit walker said, he suddenly felt a strong feeling in his heart, feeling that he should go north, this feeling was so strong.
At one point, Edward was very resistant, believing that it was the dragon of order who was the devil.
Thankfully, Ebeth noticed Edward's anomaly, and when Edward raised his doubts.
Ebeth said something that inspired Edward.
"Whatever Brother Edward chooses, Ibeth will follow him." Ebesse's warm smile seemed to dispel Edward's irritability.
What is fate? Isn't it fate to rebel?
Resisting when you encounter something you don't like is just a sign of a child's immaturity.
Edward smiled freely, fate is undecided, everything is still up to your own choice, as long as you see your own heart.
"The lair of the Behemoth! I'd love to check it out! Edward said to himself, "And the honorarium has been collected, so it's not okay not to go!" ”
(…… You've received all the honorarium, and you're still struggling with a fart! Is it possible that you still want to break the contract? The spirit realm walkers promise not to kill you! (To be continued.) )
