Chapter 183
Hearing this, Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Qiao Xiu's relevant information.
He is about 100 years old, born as a barbarian from the Northland, originally the chief of the "Ice Bear" tribe, and believes in the goddess of the Northland snow fields and blizzards, which is also commonly known as the famous evil god "Queen of the North". This goddess is very powerful, although it is only a medium divine power, but more than once it has clashed with a powerful divine power without falling behind, and it is generally believed that she has a power comparable to a powerful divine power. Although he is more blessed than blessed, with his great strength and ferocious deterrent, his faith in the Northland is very strong, even beyond the patron saint of the barbarians, the "Elder Bear Shepherd".
Most of the people in the Ice Bear tribe believe in the "Elder Bear", the patron saint of the barbarians. However, Qiao Xiu is different, as a strong man, he can't agree with the old man who is obviously supported by the good gods and barbarians, but is still fighting against the evil gods of the "Extreme Cold Alliance" led by the "Empress of the North", so he chose to follow the strong and became a believer of the "Empress of the North".
In fact, he was not just a believer, but a priest – a soul shaman.
Shamans, a type of priesthood unique to relatively backward civilizations, do not directly contact the gods through prayer like priests, so as to obtain divine powers and spells, but first contact with the "spirit", and then through the "spirit" to contact the gods. Spirits are usually elevated from the ancestors of the tribe, or transformed from a powerful creature that lives near the tribe. All that left them was souls, but they were so powerful that they probably possessed the power of an oracle.
In the shamanic belief system, the spirit is the real medium of divine power, and the priesthood itself is not very important. As long as a tribe has a high-level spirit, even if the shaman itself is not at a high level, it can cast powerful spells.
There are also shamans who believe not in gods but in ancestral spirits, so this step can be ignored, although it is a little more primitive and barbaric, but it is more like a priest.
Qiao Xiu's spirit is a powerful monster, an ice bear. When he first believed in the Empress of the North, he went out hunting alone, and by extraordinary bravery and luck, he hunted down this vicious monster, and in doing so, he pleased the goddess and became his priest. And the soul of the ice bear was transformed into his own spirit by the goddess.
If things continue to develop like this, maybe Qiao Xiu will become the famous Great Chief of the Northland, or the famous Great Shaman, maybe in a few decades or even a hundred years, he may also lead the barbarian army to the south to fight against the Orc Empire, becoming a record in the history of the "North Wind Ice Plague".
However, maybe it's a trick of fate, or maybe it's just a game that the goddess doesn't care about. The Ice Bear Tribe was destroyed by the bitter cold and blizzard in one winter, and Qiao Xiu prayed so hard that even offering his only child as a sacrifice could not make the goddess show his mercy even a little.
Eventually, having lost everything, Qiao Xiu became enraged in despair, and he frantically hated and cursed the goddess he believed in, and then left the snowy field and headed south.
He wandered for several years, and although the hatred in his heart never subsided, the anger in his chest gradually subsided. And then he was thinking, thinking about what he was going to do.
The dead are gone, and the dead cannot be resurrected. His goal of revenge is also difficult to achieve, can he spend his life in hopeless hatred and curse?
In a daze, he came to the primeval forest in the south, where he encountered the legendary temple that existed at the beginning of the world, and met the old sage who was said to be older than the gods.
Even though the sage was only a fist-sized frog, he gave him good advice, so he decided to change his goal and rebuild the Ice Bear Tribe.
And his plan is to give birth to enough children, and then the children will have grandchildren...... In this way, as long as you work hard, maybe after four or five generations, you can rebuild the Ice Bear Tribe.
Many people were surprised by this, they couldn't understand why Qiao Xiu was so obsessed with relying on his descendants to rebuild the tribe. Sui Xiong once asked Qiao Xiu about this issue, and Qiao Xiu's answer was "Only my descendants can inherit my anger."
Can only his own descendants inherit his anger? Sui Xiong didn't think so.
However, he didn't mean to refute it, he just looked at Qiao Xiu curiously to see how far this big barbarian man could go.
In order to get enough offspring, Qiao Xiu was very indulgent in his private life. When he was active in Two-Headed Crane City, at least one-third of the female mercenaries and almost all the wind and dust girls in the city had a fixed or unfixed relationship with him. Later, he joined the Void Mask Church and became the leader of the Mobile Force, and even used almost all of his income to increase the number of women around him as much as possible, or rather...... Increase the number of children and grandchildren.
As far as Sui Xiong knew, by the time he became a legendary powerhouse, there were more than fifty descendants.
After becoming a legendary powerhouse, Qiao Xiu restrained a little. This is because he is absolutely certain that he will live until his descendants will multiply and be numerous enough to form a tribe.
Otherwise, if he still maintains his original style, with the identity of a legendary powerhouse, maybe in just two or three years, he will be able to have a family that is enough to form a tribe - as a legendary powerhouse, as long as he is not a "picky eater", two or three hundred women is really not a big problem......
Sure enough, now he has accomplished his original goal.
Thinking of this, Sui Xiong subconsciously relied on his faith to connect and go to see Qiao Xiu's situation.
He saw the eastern part of the northern ice sheet, bordering a gorge covered with ice, with a newly established tribe.
This tribe is slightly different from the ordinary Northland barbarian tribe, its location is a little too far north, and there is no pasture nearby, but in the square in the center of the tribe, there is a huge teleportation array.
Sui Xiong recognized the origin of this teleportation array at a glance - the combination of several sets of magic runes in it was the style of Master Satan, the chief mage of the Void Mask Church, and he thought that this teleportation array was made by his disciples, even if it was not made by him. Most likely, it was probably the best of his disciples, Ness Parn.
With the teleportation array, the newly created "Ice Bear" tribe can sell their harvest from hunting or mining at a suitable price, and then buy enough food. Perhaps in the future they will be able to act as second-hand dealers, buying the produce of other barbarians and selling them food and daily necessities.
In general, the foundation of this tribe is quite solid.
"Qiao Xiu, this guy, has finally realized his ideal!" Looking at Qiao Xiu, who was leading his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren to hold daily worship in the central square of the tribe and pray to the huge jellyfish statue carved by ice, Sui Xiong smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
