Chapter 381 Today's Happiness Today's Enjoyment, Who Cares About Tomorrow's Snow and Frost? Life is impermanent, enjoy it in time!
In fact, as early as Ortlenburg, Wren sensed that there might be something unusual on the Far North Ice Sheet. This feeling is very wonderful www.biquge.info like a hand touching his nerves from time to time, and as if someone is whispering in his ear, quietly telling him about the changes in the far distance. It's just that he couldn't accurately perceive what this mysterious feeling represented, so he could only ask Alma to send intelligence agents to the Far North Ice Field.
In the tavern of Siukusius, the person who sent information to Wren was the intelligence officer sent at that time.
He was curious about what kind of things would have a mysterious connection with him.
Through Robado's detailed introduction, Wren finally has a relatively complete understanding.
The barbarians of the ice fields worship the same gods as the barbarians of other places, but they are different from each other. It is not difficult to find from the archives of the church about the period of the gods that the so-called barbarian god is actually just a lower god who does not enter the stream, and there are only a few records of it, which shows that the church did not look down on the so-called barbarian gods at the beginning.
The barbarians on the ice field believe in the main god of the Eight Classics, which is understood to be the absolute main god of a certain god system, with very high combat power and amazing origin. These Ice Barbarians never considered themselves barbarians, they always called themselves ancient remnants, following the guidance of the ancient gods, and remained on the Far North Ice Sheet, waiting for the next chance to rise. In the entire ice field, the person with the greatest power and strength is the high priest of the ice barbarians.
No one knows the name of the high priest or her origin, only that she is a former saint who serves the gods and always accompanies them. She is proficient in ice magic, and the entire ice field is her incarnation, and she can sense it anywhere, as long as she silently recites her name and sticks a branch with the pronunciation of "Ademo" in the ground, she can immediately sense it, and suddenly appear next to the summoner from anywhere.
In addition to the high priest, there was also a holy woman, second only to the high priest in power. And this so-called king of barbarians was born of a holy woman.
Of course, perhaps because of the difference in religious beliefs, in the perception of the Desi people, the saint should be holy and inviolable, let alone give birth to children, even if she does something that insults her identity, she will be immediately burned to death on the execution stake to purify her body and soul.
The saint on the ice field is not only pregnant, but the child she gave birth to is actually revered as the king of barbarians, and I don't know if these ice barbarians are really bad in their brains, or if their beliefs are like this. However, the story of the saint's pregnancy and giving birth to the next generation of kings is still very interesting.
It is precisely because of the birth of the king of barbarians, the ice barbarians, called "the king of the remnants" and "the lord of the ancestors", that the high priest began to appear frequently and unusually, integrating the strength of all the barbarians on the entire ice field and returning them to the holy mountain. The High Priest said that when the king of barbarians found his identity from the end of time, it was to sound the trumpet for them to return to the south.
War!
"Knowing that the barbarians are going south to invade and start a war with the empire in the near future, you still sell these dangerous things to the ice field with peace of mind?", Wren didn't show much anger, this matter has nothing to do with him, anyway, the barbarians are the first to bear the brunt of the imperial family and the nobles located in the north, and only by crossing their corpses can they threaten the Bell Province of Wren. Even then, he could have transferred to the Byronic Empire.
Robado laughed dryly, and because of his cooperation, Wren had the ropes that bound him loose and sat him down. He moved his butt a little uneasily at this time, he really didn't know what Wren was thinking, so he could only guess and answer: "No one knows how long it will take for that half-year-old child to find his past self from the corridor of time." There had been no king on the ice sheet for more than a thousand years, and even if he used it for ten years a year, it might take a hundred years to start a war. ”
"Things ...... a hundred years from now," Robado's eyes flashed with disdain very quickly, "It doesn't have much to do with us." ”
The average life expectancy of the Desi is sixty or seventy years, which is the average, and the nobles have a better medical system and a good life, so the nobles can live longer, eighty or ninety years old. It's not for nothing that you have lived to more than a hundred, but at that point, maybe it's more comfortable to die than to live. Such a long-term thing naturally does not attract their attention, but makes them more comfortable selling things to the ice field.
Now is the time to pursue the maximization of profits, eat first and then talk about the rest. Even if the little baby found his past after ten or twenty years, they would have earned enough. Rich, powerful, and enjoying the most dreamy life for ten or twenty years, even if it goes to war, it's worth it. Besides, the Desi may not be able to defeat the barbarians on the ice field.
Under all kinds of luck psychology and self-suggestion, these people sold what they couldn't sell to Bingman without any scruples.
They indulge in the sale of the interests of the country, completely disregarding the existential risks, which is why Wren is here.
Wren didn't ask him who was manipulating them to smuggle and sell these materials in the imperial capital, because a person's confession was useless and almost completely impossible to hurt the other party except for a timely response. If the great nobles could be defeated just by relying on the confession of a certain person, then the Orlando Empire at this time had completed the process of centralization, and Empress Pars had already become an autocratic ruler.
It was imperative to catch the Sistin and get the ledger and the records of every smuggling from him, which were the things of real value.
In fact, it is not impossible to fabricate some evidence, but it is against the rules of the game. If you want to knock out your opponent in the ring and convince him, then you have to follow the rules.
Troublesome rules!
There are not many entrances and exits of the ice field, and the frozen plateau at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters above sea level, whether up or down, is a severe test for people. If you accidentally slip on a foot, you may die more than one or two, so there are only five that can provide relatively safe passage along the entire border between Demalagu and the ice field.
Among them, there are three official routes, and the other two are new routes that they use for smuggling and deliberately open up, and only they know about them.
Standing in front of the ice field, Wren was dazzled and stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the completely transparent "cliff" composed of ice, and his mind was completely shocked by everything he saw in front of him!
