The northernmost part of the continent is the icy Arctic ice field, just like the North Pole of the earth, the climate is cold all year round, and the sea is completely frozen in ice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe cold climate and harsh environment are destined to make the Arctic ice field unsuitable for human habitation, so the Arctic ice field is one of the most sparsely populated areas, but there is still a strong race there, that is, the barbarians!
Barbarians, like berserkers, have the appearance of human beings, but they are different from normal human beings, so they are classified as subhuman races, and are ostracized by people and driven to the desolate and harsh Arctic ice fields!
The barbarians are fierce and their hand-to-hand combat is their specialty, with powerful stomps, sharp jumps and slashes, and two-handed weapon-wielding slashes that leave their enemies dead at their feet. Relying on their tall stature and strength, the barbarians can use almost any weapon to gain the upper hand in close combat, although they prefer to use heavy and large weapons, and injuries in battle are not uncommon for the barbarians, and scars are their medals, for whom scars are glory and proof.
The biggest reason why barbarians are incompatible with ordinary people is that barbarians, like wild beasts, love to fight and enjoy fighting. Unlike berserkers, who have to fight because of life, barbarians enjoy it, they are born to fight, they are also killed for war, and their destination is to die in battle. And then they are buried with their own weapons and shields! They like to use violence to solve problems, they don't have as many rules and regulations as in human society, they are straightforward and often act according to their instincts, so many people don't like them.
The fundamental reason why barbarians go to the Arctic ice field to survive is that barbarians do not believe in any gods, and they are not interested in gods. This is not allowed for the Holy See. Even if the barbarians don't believe in the Holy See, the barbarians also killed the missionaries and bishops of the Holy See, which is no different from stabbing a hornet's nest, especially at that time, the Holy See was still in urgent need of killing chickens and monkeys to establish its prestige, so the barbarians became the victims.
More than half of the barbarians were branded pagans and died heroically, while the other half were mostly women and children. He fled to the Arctic ice field and survived in that harsh environment.
Now that time has passed, the Holy See has no interest in dealing with the barbarians, these barbarians who even have muscles in their brains are really not threatening, so they are left to stay on the side of the Arctic ice field. Because the Holy See no longer pursues and kills, in the past hundred years, many barbarians have gradually left the Arctic ice field. When I returned to the cities or hills of the mainland to settle down, the weather and climate of the Arctic ice field were too harsh. And then there's the Arctic ice sheet. There is a group of high-level magical beasts similar to polar bears and killer whales, and no matter how heroic the barbarians are, it is still too difficult to take food from them.
The barbarians who returned to human society did not have an easy life, although after thousands of years of life in the Arctic ice field, the character of the barbarians has changed to a certain extent. But human beings' perception and perception of them have not changed in the slightest, and they are even still hostile and disdainful, this race that has been exiled to the Arctic ice field!
In a city in the Duchy of Gambley, relatively close to the Arctic ice field, Lin Mu encountered such a group of barbarians, and watched as the group of barbarians braided their hair into pigtails. Carrying a Viking tomahawk on his back, almost naked, wearing only a pitiful pair of cowhide briefs, a horned helmet on his head, and his full muscles are exposed to the air, he is definitely a more toned barbarian than Mr. Bodybuilder. Looking at his small body again, Lin Mu is tired of it, why has he cultivated for so long, and his physical fitness has improved hundreds of times, but his body is not half strong?
The poor barbarians were stopped by the guards because they had not paid the entrance fee, and although each of them only needed a few copper coins, it was a great burden for the barbarians.
This group of barbarians finally came to the human kingdom from the Arctic Ice Plain, but what this group of poor children felt was not the enthusiasm of human beings, but the endless hostility of human beings, not the hunting of slave groups, the capture of gladiatorial arenas to be gladiators, and the desperate fight in order to please those noble lords, in order to survive and grab a bite to eat. Otherwise, because of the status of barbarians, they were discriminated against, they couldn't even find a job, and they went to the road, and even children bullied them because of this, but they couldn't teach these bear children a lesson.
For most of the past six months, this group of barbarians has been living a hard life without having a meal, and the money they have earned with great difficulty has either been stolen or pitted. Fortunately, this group of people are neither old nor young, and there is no one to drag their families with them, otherwise life would be even more difficult. When they first came to the human society, this group of barbarians didn't know how to converge, so they caused a lot of trouble, but now they have to make compromises, otherwise in the past, the barbarians would have picked up their tomahawks and started killing, so it is possible to bargain with this group of guards here for a long time.
It's not that there are dozens of copper coins, but they are really poor now, and if they pay the money to enter the city, then they won't have to eat later, and they won't have the strength to go to the mercenary union to find something to do and make money. But if they can't enter the city, they can't go into the city to find a job, which is undoubtedly stuck in a dead loop.
Looking at such a group of strong men, fighting for dozens of copper coins, Lin Mu couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, to put it bluntly, it is still the same sentence, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero! Happiness and enmity are of course chic and free, but life is not centered on you, you can do whatever you want, life is a particularly fucked up thing, many people have to make changes because of life, unless one day you have enough ability to change life, otherwise you have to adapt to life!
Lin Mu remembered that he had been like this for a while, so the feeling of empathy was even stronger, so he took out ten gold coins and threw them to the guards guarding the city and said: "This money is the entrance fee for me and them, let them enter the city, it is too bad to be blocked at the gate of the city!"
The guards of the city were stunned, and the barbarians were also stunned, they didn't expect that someone would help them (us) pay, and as soon as they made a move, they were so generous, they directly threw ten gold coins over, you must know that even if these barbarians plus Lin Mu and the group of people, at most they only need to pay more than one gold coin!
