Chapter 126: The Viking Empire
Money often unmakes the men who make it. This is Chu Nan's definition of the slave hunting group, and he really made a bloody investment for high profits.
"And there are many orcs and barbarians among the people of the Viking Empire, and orc slaves are very popular. ”
Chu Nan had read about the Vikings. The Vikings are barbarians and orcs, and there are also a small number of humans, but the Vikings are also different from the humans of other empires on the continent, full of war and aggressiveness, and can farm in their spare time, but when they fight, they directly get on the ship and become pirates to raid the coastal areas of other countries.
As the name suggests, half-orcs are a race between orcs and humans, they do not have the obvious beastly characteristics of orcs, but they are exceptionally tall and strong, with extremely thick hair on their bodies and sharp teeth in their mouths. It looks like a beast about to turn into a human, so it's called a half-orc.
There was a legend that the orcs were a branch of the orcs, but because they were not like orcs and more like humans, they were ostracized by the orcs and had no choice but to leave the country under several persecutions. However, it was also not accepted by humans, and eventually had to cross the straits of the Baltic Sea and settle on the peninsula of North Roland.
Barbarians, on the other hand, are difficult to define, because they resemble humans except for their bodies, and of course, the only difference from humans is that barbarian men do not grow hair, but are born bald.
Some people in the Sacred Heart Academy say that the bald Wu Ke is a barbarian from the north, but no one knows the real situation.
And the rest of the human beings are no different from the human categories on the Roland Continent. However, their ferocity and aggressiveness have also been greatly stimulated when they have been living with orcs and barbarians for a long time.
The Vikings were most likely to use axes and javelins, but unlike the Rus' Empire, they used one-handed axes, which were lighter in size, and they had several throwing axes pinned to their waists. The javelin was carried behind his back, and the low-ranking warriors would throw it at about sixty or seventy meters, and only about twenty meters if they were replaced by ordinary people.
Because they are in the forests infested with wild beasts and monsters, the Vikings also have a good hunting skill with bows and arrows.
Tragically, there were very few horses on the Viking Peninsula. The cavalry was just an idea.
By the way, the Vikings were also very skilled in seafaring, and each of them was a good sailor and pirate.
"Do you mean that the Viking orcs were fond of buying the orc slaves who had forced them to leave their tribes?"
"Well, I like it very much, the Vikings still have a great hatred for the orcs. Avileda said.
It's a sad story.
"And the Viking Empire has always been outside the jurisdiction of the Cross Church, and has an attitude with the Church**, so it will not pay attention to the Church's rule that no slaves are allowed, and their country has no similar regulations. ”
Although the Crucifixion was not as powerful as it was back then, some of the moral codes it established were still observed by all countries, such as the prohibition of slaves. For example, the Rus' Empire split with the Crucifixion Church hundreds of years ago, but there were still no slaves in the country. Serfs, serfs are not slaves, serfs are just the personal belongings of the lord, but there is no need to get confused.
"The problem of piracy along the way...... We've always been on land, but there are a lot of good slave hunters, and we'll rent a larger ship that even pirates won't be afraid of. ”
After a night of silence, early the next morning, the slave hunters set out on their way north.
After half a month along the way, there were already a lot of empty cars in the long carriage procession of the slave hunter group, and in half a month, the slave hunter group harvested thousands of gold coins!
Such high profits are unimaginable, and I really don't know how much money the slave hunters will be able to sell when they arrive in the Viking Empire.
However, there are also some discordant factors on the road in the past half month, such as a serf riot on a serf's estate along the road, and the local lord really can't suppress it, so he bids for the slave hunting group to help. However, it was said by Bendu that "our caravan must not meddle in the internal affairs of your country, otherwise it will cause disputes." I rejected it for reasons.
Pontus said so, but what he thought in his heart is unknown.
What made Chu Nan worry was that there were crusades and big-character posters against dark magicians in almost every city, all the dark magicians had fled to the countryside below to hide, and most of the magic academies had suspended all majors related to dark magic. It is still unknown whether it will be opened again in the future.
It can be said that Chu Nan has now become the public enemy of all the dark mages in the Roland Continent. But Chu Nan is innocent, even if there is no battle between Chu Nan and Nassau, Nassau will still catch the dark mages around the battlefield, and then it will be a persecution against all the dark mages on the Roland continent.
Chu Nan was just an innocent excuse, but this sudden appearance of the excuse disrupted everyone's layout.
Chu Nan was not disturbed by the persecution of the dark mage caused by his own reasons, but because of the situation of Nia and Oyeni in the Sacred Heart Academy. Needless to say, almost all the disciplines chosen by Nia are dark magic majors, and Oyeni's identity is a skeleton mage summoned by Nia......
One can see what it will be like if this storm of persecution swept over the Sacred Heart Academy.
What can be concluded is that this storm that originated on the battlefield of the HRE Empire and the Warois Dynasty will definitely sweep through the entire HRE Empire, and the Sacred Heart Academy in the east will not be spared.
I can only hope that there will be no problems in the relatively closed inner courtyard, and that Shalama can help Nia and Oyeni, Chu Nan explained to Shalama before leaving.
The only thing that is not clear is whether Shalama is trustworthy or not, and she is a princess of a country, so this reputation should be guaranteed. But who can say for sure? The credibility of the big guys is worse than that of the market.
After all, the Pontic slave hunters still did not go to the Kremlin, the capital of the Rus Empire, and Chu Nan really wanted to go and see how magnificent this majestic city located in the center of the empire was.
Ponson once said to Hessen that he would give the female slave to the big man in the north, and Hessen mistook it for the Kremlin, and if Hessen knew that Pontus did not go to the Kremlin at all, it was indeed the north, but it was the Viking Empire, I don't know how he would feel.
Chu Nan boredly used his divine sense to play with the mud in his hand, manipulating the mud into various shapes, sometimes it was a short sword, sometimes it was a massage stick, and sometimes it simply turned into a figure......
