Regardless of the profession, to become a barbarian, you must spend a night in the snow in the Arctic Circle during the cold winter period, and survive the night without magic or power, but only by your own body. This is the first step. It is also the most important step.

Link, although he didn't go through much physical training, still endured it.

That night, in the snow, in the igloo he made, Link listened to the north wind howling outside, feeling the relentless tempering of nature's physique.

Outside the house, the north wind was howling and the snow was falling, and inside the house, there was only a whale oil lamp the size of a bean, the wick of which was spitting a yellow halo, accompanied by a lone lamp, and Link sat alone until dawn.

When the next day, when the sun was rising, he sat cross-legged on the ground, shaved his hair with a knife, and fumbled with a tattoo tool to tattoo a tomahawk sign on it.

After a long period of touching the sword and catching the knife, he quickly mastered the trick of tattooing, so Link gritted his teeth and stabbed needle by needle.

Fearing that the scalp would not grow hair in the future, he deliberately shrunk it to a size that the barbarians could barely accept.

The barbarians admired coarseness, and even large tattoos fell down to cover half of their faces, but Link had no such interest, and only groped for a small axe on the top of his head - so, in the future, he was called "short and weak" by the barbarians, and because many barbarians like to stab three, four, or even five axes, and he only stabbed a small axe, also known as "one axe beast".

The concept of a barbarian is very simple and easy to grasp, and in the same way, according to the manual, a qualified barbarian should have a bold personality, do things directly and simply, and never drag the mud and water, and be entangled.

They were fond of spirits, loved singing and dancing, and were keen hunters.

In fact, hunting was the most common source of food for the Northland barbarians.

Link, as requested in the book, hunts a brown bear.

So, when all his apprenticeship conditions were completed, he saw that his state immediately changed to apprentice wizard (disguised apprentice barbarian, possessing all trainee barbarian abilities, including but not limited to life force, strength, skills, etc., etc.).

The snow was rolling heavily, and Link led his horses through the snowy fields with difficulty.

The snow slapped Link's cheeks mercilessly, but he didn't seem to feel the cold anymore, only the comfort of a cool summer breeze, which was the strength of a trainee level 10 barbarian, providing physical self-protection.

His data at the moment has basically not changed, but his career and life have changed.

HEALTH BECOMES 6X10+3 (63)

Back at the Bronze Bull Tavern, it is still the tail of midwinter, and spring has not yet arrived.

Seeing that Link was bareheaded at the moment, looking fierce, Smart who was present was a little speechless.

You're the chief head of our Smart, the wiser of the wise, and you see what you've become now?

Is it like this, can you please a noble lady? That's what hell it is.

But isn't this the biggest customer and benefactor of our Smart?

Link called Theseus and asked, "Have there been any major changes to the antler collar lately?"

"Just as you might have guessed, Boss," said Hughus, "the Earl of Reilly became a duke, and Princess Fafil was forced to write an edict of abdication, and she returned to become a deer-hunting countess. She tried to find you several times, and we all pushed you out. I didn't give her an appointment. ”

Link was a little gloomy, knowing that his fate with Fafel would never overlap again. After all, after that, one is the countess of Deer Hunting City, and the other is going to go to another mainland island to be an apprentice.

Link nodded and let it go.

But in the evening, a group of distinguished guests arrived.

Although Fafil was veiled, her eyes were already haggard, and it seemed that she had been too tired and troubled lately.

Link ...... You shouldn't have become like this because of my business, right?" Countess Fafel watched as Link shaved his hair and stabbed only a red child's palm-sized axe in the center.

Link smiled and said, "It's none of your business." ”

Fafil said, "I ...... Can I still ask you for help?"

Link was silent for a moment, then said, "I can't actually help much. ”

Fafel's eyes immediately filled with tears, and he said, "Even you don't want to help me." ”

Link said: "I'll tell you the truth, Rayleigh is suspected of being a black magician, this is a powerful school among the power knights, he can release evil fire, the power melts gold and iron, you use the ancient knights to go, they are suspected of delivering food, you say, now, can you find a power knight who is comparable to him, risk his death, and help you?"

"Aren't you a mighty knight?"

Link said, "No, I'm just an apprentice. Reilly officially joined the fifth level or so, and this universe, according to insiders, can only accommodate powerful knights below level five, and Reilly has been capped in this universe. ”

Fafel was stunned for a long, long time.

She was crying weakly there, looking like she was broken.

Link knew that it was because she had lost her dukedom and was persecuted, so it was natural to have anger and resentment, and perhaps, fear.

Suddenly, Fafil brushed the hair that fell from his ears and said, "Look, how do I look? I'll tell you, Anna looks a little ugly to me, or I'll give you Anna." You marry Anna, and when you see Anna, you see me. Wait for the future...... When I get married and have children in the future, I will come back to accompany you. ”

Link let out a long sigh and said, "No, Fafel, you don't understand my pursuit, I have given up the pursuit of women now, I just want to ......" Saying this, his gaze suddenly frightened Fafel, Link said: "I only want to pursue the ultimate power! Become the strongest of the strong." ”

Fafil said unhappily, "But at any time, I am old." ”

Link said indifferently, "I have given up my pursuit of you, Princess Fafel, you know it in your heart. ”

Fafel struggled to hold back the tears that came out of his eyes, and said, "But, I, I'm still worth your pursuit. ”

Link smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, I used to have a crush on you, but now, there is no more." ”

Fafel's tears finally fell again, and she choked up and said, "Smile at me and let me leave with dignity." ”

Link smiled sincerely at her as Faffil wished.

Fafil got up, turned around and walked away.

Both of them knew in their hearts that from then on, the two would treat each other as strangers, and they would never have the opportunity to laugh and cry together.

Link didn't get up to see him off, it was too hypocritical, but inadvertently, the glass in his palm cracked like a spider web where he pinched it.
