Chapter Eighty-Six: Hiko's Return
At Hiko's insistence and the Nord's own thirst, the future of the farmland was decided for slaves and protected by the Nords. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Under the mediation of the old shaman, every Nord who participated in this matter was divided into a lot of interests.
Except for Hiko!
Neither land nor slaves had anything to do with Hiko. It's not that the Nords in North Wind Town don't want to give it, it's that Yan doesn't need it at all.
Unlike most Nords, he doesn't have to worry about what he needs. On the one hand, it is because he has an amazing father above him who has held him up. On the other hand, he doesn't like these things at all.
Using his wits, Hiko had already made a lot of money out of the icebreaker trade, and in this case, he didn't need to fight for anything more with these ordinary Nords. It's too ugly to eat like that, and it's not necessary at all.
However, most of the Nords were a little unhappy, because Yan had really paid too much in this matter, and everyone saw this, so after finalizing most of the things, some Nords couldn't help but say to Yan.
"Yan, you don't want these things, so how can we compensate you? The Nords don't have the habit of eating white food, if you have anything you want, just say it, even if you risk this life, we will definitely do it for you. ā
In this matter related to the future of the Nords, everyone can see very clearly, and Yan occupies the vast majority of the credit. According to the Nords' principle of sharing the spoils, the interests of this should occupy a considerable part. If he really did that, no one would be able to say anything, but would take it for granted.
But the crux of the matter is that Hiko doesn't want anything, as if he were doing all this purely voluntary labor. This makes many Nords feel a little empty-hearted.
The Nords have kindness and revenge. For example, if they can't give Hiko a proper reward, then many people will be upset and even tortured in conscience. This was much more uncomfortable for the Nords than a few slashes at him, so they immediately discussed, intending to give Hiko an explanation that would satisfy him.
And seeing that these Nords actually promised such a thing to themselves, Yan bared his teeth and said to them.
"What are you doing here, it's just some trivial things, is it necessary for you to make it so grand?"
"It may be a small thing for you, but for us, it's a big thing for the future. Interrupting Hiko, a Nord man who looked some age spoke to him. "If your plan is successful, it will be very important for our children, grandchildren, and even future generations to enjoy benefits that have never been imagined. Both for us and for the Nord people as a whole. So we're going to pay you a decent amount no matter what. Otherwise, we probably won't have the face to mention this to our children in the future. So, let's talk about it. Hiko, you have something you want, or something you want to do. Say it all, and we'll help you get it done. ā
When he said this, he immediately bared his teeth and took a breath of cold air. The Nords have made a promise, and when they say that now, it is tantamount to selling themselves to Hiko. If Yan had any thoughts, he could have driven them to do something unseemly. And even if they pit to death, they won't necessarily complain.
But the problem is that Hiko doesn't have this idea at all. From the beginning to the end, he did it only on the spur of the moment and on impulse. The so-called icebreaker trade is just something he created in order to make it easier for him to get what he wants from the human kingdom, and as for the slave's farming plan, it is the product of his momentary compassion and dissatisfaction with the backward system in his previous life.
He just wants to live an addiction, an addiction to promote social change, and then be regarded as a pioneer of the times. Speaking of returns, he really hadn't thought about these things.
However, the situation in front of him was that he had to think about it. Otherwise, with the stubbornness of the Enods, I am afraid that he will not want to be able to live a quiet life in the future. However, what kind of return is good? It is necessary not to be too much and let these rough men suffer, but also not to be too simple, otherwise they will continue to toss because of dissatisfaction.
So for a while, Hiko really had a headache. Soon, though, he came up with a solution to this problem.
"In that case, then I can only make this one request!"
Looking around, looking at the anticipation in the eyes of the Nords around him, Hiko smiled and said to them.
"I think the elders should also know that I have now started to learn martial arts with my father. But seriously, the progress is a bit unsatisfactory. So I wondered if it was because I didn't have enough knowledge in this area, so I couldn't understand everything my father was teaching for a while. And now, since the elders have asked me to make a request, then I can only have the courage to ask you about the martial arts. After all, you are all famous Nord warriors, so you shouldn't be stingy with your skills. ā
This is the solution that Hiko came up with, and in comparison, this solution is also the most suitable and profitable one for Hiko.
You know, the Nords present are the most famous Nord warriors in the entire northern coastal region of Nord. And a qualified Nord warrior basically has his own unique skills or two. In terms of ability, they are no worse than those knights of the human realm. Not to mention, there are several masters here who have cultivated the extraordinary power of qi.
Of course, their teachings must not be compared to that of Mu, the Sword Saint. But for Hiko, their guidance has another important meaning.
You know, he has a magical system on him. It's a shame to say that this system has a lot of time, but you can't deny that it can sometimes work wonders. For example, Holy Light is a prime example. So, when these Nords asked for such a reward, Hiko's first reaction was to use their guidance and skills to put together a sufficient amount of information, and use it for a new exchange.
Of course, this may just be a matter of assumption. Because of the unreliability of the information exchange system, Yan himself is deeply aware of it, and it is likely that he will give such a big gift, but what he gets is only unsatisfactory. But sometimes, there is always such an urge in people's hearts to gamble.
If you gamble, you can't buy a loss, and you can't be fooled. Take a gamble, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle, and a motorcycle becomes a car. Don't even dare to bet, and dare to say that you are a traverser?
With this in mind, Hiko made up his mind. Hearing him say this, a group of Nords looked at each other, and then immediately grinned at him.
"Since Yan wants to learn our skills, then naturally there is no problem, but can you stand it with your little arms and legs? ā
For Hiko's request, these Nords are naturally willing to accept it. It's just that in addition to accepting it, they are inevitably a little worried, worried that what they teach will hurt Hiko's body. After all, Hiko is a half-breed, and everyone knows that. And the system of mixed-race children has always been a problem, and it is easy for a body that is not strong enough to accept an overload of exercise, but it is easy for something big to happen.
For the concern of these Nords, Hiko just smiled slightly and explained.
"Rest assured, everyone. If I can't even withstand this kind of training, then I'm not qualified to practice martial arts with my father, right?"
Most of the people present knew Mu's identity, so they were obviously okay with this explanation. Then, after some discussion, they finalized the issue of Hiko's compensation.
There were probably more than thirty Nord warriors present. Some of them are skilled in swordsmanship, some are skilled in spearmanship, and even large axes, heavy hammers and shields, many of them are proficient. Naturally, it was impossible for Hiko to learn everything, so after some discussion, these Nords selected twenty Nord warriors who were skilled in swordsmanship or had other skills, and provided Hiko with the necessary guidance for most of the next half month.
With commitment, these Nord warriors will do their best. So Yan is not worried that he will not be able to learn anything, in fact, he should be more worried about the lack of time and the fact that he will not be able to learn all these people's skills. However, he has confidence in himself and in the information exchange system in his head.
This system already has a certain ability to collect information and intelligence, and it is precisely because of this ability that Yan dares to make such a request. Otherwise, he would really want to play like this when he is full and has nothing to do. You know, every extra day he spends in this place, he has to add an extra day of training when he returns. It's not a joke, it's something that can really kill people. If there is not enough interest support, he is unwilling to make this choice.
Anyway, this kind of thing is finalized. And just when Hikoko thought that there would be nothing to do with him, the old shaman stopped Hiko, and said this to him.
"Hiko, now that I'm done here. So let's talk about something else. ā|
"Something else, something else?" the old shaman's words surprised Hiko, for he really didn't know what was still unresolved. All the deals have been completed, and the slaves have been arranged. Even the replenishment of materials and personnel for the sea fleet has been implemented. In such a situation, what is left unresolved?
Thinking so, Hiko turned his puzzled eyes to the old shaman, and the old shaman's explanation for this was.
"There's something you might need to think about, it's about the Nibru spiders. ā
