Chapter 30: The Northern Barbarians
The war between the barbarians of the north and the south lasted for an unknown number of years. When Amos the Great had not yet unified the hundred tribes, the barbarians dominated the northern steppes. Legend has it that every ten years, a shaman will cross the cold winds of the Arctic Ice Field, bringing the will of the gods to bless the barbarians on the grassland, and at the same time bring a new round of war clarions.
In that era when darkness dominated the south, there were countless internal struggles among the hundred tribes, but at the same time, they were surprisingly repulsive to the north.
After Amos the Great unified the south, he organized a powerful military expedition against the barbarians and wanted to unify the continent, but the two legions as the vanguard suffered a catastrophe on the steppe and were almost wiped out. Amos the Great was furious and prepared to march in person, but was stopped by an army of 10,000 men. The army mounted the white wolf, holding a white flag, calling itself the Ice Giant Wolf Tribe, the Northern Barbarian Royal Clan, and the Cheng Barbarian Clan as the "Holy Clan", and resisted the attack of the most elite Red Tide Legion like a huge wave. The charging barbarians, led by shamans, became cunning and used wolf pack tactics to wear down the expeditionary force led by Amos the Great, and finally had to retreat. However, in the years that followed, the war between the barbarians and the Bolton dynasty did not stop.
This was the only defeat in Amos the Great's life.
However, after this war, which was second only to the suppression of the hundred tribes, the Bolton Dynasty determined that the Northern Barbarians were also human races, but their cultivation methods and strength systems were different from the ability system created by Amos the Great, and the shaman line was also designated as the head of the cult by the Seamos Holy See, which was as famous as the "Eye of Hell" that had been in trouble in the south for many years. At the same time, those warriors who ride white wolves and have purple eyes are also known as "demonic bloodlines." ”
Similar to the natural ability mentioned by Amos the Great, when the Northern Barbarian awakens his ability, he will also have a so-called "bloodline ability" Something is generated, the bloodline ability is inherited based on blood, it is said to be closer to its primitive and barbaric life, different from the assistance of talent, the power is greater, and it is more weird, and it can be directly used in combat, but because of the very little contact, the Bolton Dynasty does not know much about it, only knows that it is not everyone can have, and the steppe barbarians will be focused on cultivating after awakening the bloodline power, and it is said that such a person is favored by the "gods of the heavens".
Austin had already memorized these information, and when he heard Gadlin's words, his heart chuckled, and the expression on his face became as cold as frost, and he said, "In other words...... I'm actually a barbarian?"
Asking such a question, Austin also felt extremely ridiculous in his heart. As an orphan, he turned out to be an enemy of the Burton dynasty, and he had "demonic blood" in the church?
It's ironic.
A cold light flashed in Austin's eyes, and a terrifying coercion spread out on himself, and pale blue flames poured out from his hands.
This is a secret, a secret that cannot be known, and once it is exposed, it will definitely be tied to the stake and burned. As an executive, Austin is familiar with this process. Davix was completely trustworthy as his back for those five years, but Gardlin ......
Davix also reacted, and stood quietly behind Gardlin to block the door, a red light flashed on his hand, and the fire element in the room was quickly withdrawn and converged towards him.
However, the old butler turned a blind eye to the actions of the two, coughed, and continued: "However, what you have on your body is not sure that it is the bloodline ability of the barbarians, after all, the pupils of the grassland barbarians are mostly yellow or black, and the 'demon bloodline' is the standard purple. Pupil color is the most common criterion for dividing races, your natural green pupils and current blue are not in the barbarian standard, but closer to the royal family of the ancient Persian kingdom, it is possible that you are just a unique natural ability......"
"Really?" Austin's face did not improve, but became even colder, and his tone was indeed gloomy, "My dear Uncle Gadlin, thank you for your erudition and frankness, but such a danger should not exist even one in ten thousand, and your current reason is not enough to convince me." I know, you should be Lord von Lantlin's person, how can I guarantee that I won't be directly captured by Lord von Lantlin in the main building of the Operations Department tomorrow?"
Gardlin kept a smile on his face, and he didn't see a hint of hostility: "I'm not from Lord von Lantlin...... Forget that, you probably won't believe it. If you wish, I can swear in the name of my ancestor Gadlin Ritu that I will never divulge your secrets. ”
"Are you from the Ritu family? Austin's face softened when he heard this. Ancestor worship is a pagan cult permitted by the Holy See of Seamos, and in the absence of conflict with the Father, ancestor believers use their ancestors as totems and believe in ancestral inheritance, believing that the undead souls of their ancestors will give them the power to guide future generations.
Among them, the Ritu family is one of the largest ancestral families, the ancestor of the "God of War" Duke Ritu served as a corps marshal in the Trident Legion of the Nanyang Navy during the era of Amos the Great, and the descendants are allowed to inherit this noble title and become honorary dukes, and get the fief Duchy of Ritu.
If Gadlin is really a member of the Ritu family, the oath made in the name of the ancestors is not to be profaned, and it is even more effective than the oath in the name of God the Father.
"If you are still in doubt about my identity, you can immediately go to the city hall archives and check my registration file, which should be clearly recorded. ”
"No need," Austin finally broke the silence after a long silence, "I believe in your loyalty, you swear." ”
Mr. Butler, who seemed to be loyal, organized the language and made an oath in the name of his ancestors, and as soon as the words fell, there seemed to be a ripple in the void. Austin sensed this, and finally smiled again, and the ice-cold coldness on his face dissipated.
"Actually, I know that if I do it, I may not be able to keep you if I join forces with David. Austin had a meaningful smile on his face.
Gardlin's eyelids jumped, his expression became more respectful, and he said, "The master said that he laughed, how could I be the opponent of the two." ”
"Not to mention this, my learned Uncle Gardlin," Gardlin said Austin, adding another title, erudition, "what should I do now? I can't do without this ability, right?"
"Master, I'm too worried, if I don't know the changes in your blood during the generation process, it will be difficult for me to link your ability with your bloodline, besides, even if you major in martial arts ability, your physical characteristics are too far from those muscle-expanding Northern Barbarians, you can just treat it as a natural ability that you have never had before. ”
Austin nodded, agreeing with the statement for the time being.
