After a brief silence fell in the tent, Snow Wolf said: "I still mean that. Those outsiders cannot be trusted, and the totem spirits hate them very much. But if you choose to cooperate with them, I will fully support you."
"Hmph! The population of our barbarians has dropped to a very dangerous level. If we don't make changes, we will be exterminated sooner or later. In this case, do we still have a choice?!" Snow Leopard dismissed Snow Wolf's speech.
They finally set their sights on Xue Hu and gave the final choice to Xue Hu, also because the Snow Tiger tribe is now the most powerful tribe among the barbarians.
"..."
Xuehu remained silent. It was very difficult for the barbarians to survive now, but large tribes like them still had room to survive, at least in the short term.
And once we cooperate with outsiders and start a war with humans, the worst result may be the annihilation of the race.
"Snow! Burial!" Suddenly Snow Leopard spat out these two words coldly.
Snow Tiger and Snow Wolf were shaken, and their eyes became complicated.
Snow burial is a tradition of barbarians. Because survival is difficult, for many small tribes, old people who have lost the ability to fight are a serious burden, so they will choose to go out of the tribe when they are old and bury themselves in the snow.
But I don’t know when the snow burial turned into a blood burial.
Legend has it that in a small tribe, an old warrior who lost the ability to fight walked out of the tribe alone on a windy and snowy night to bury himself in the snow. For the barbarians, this was a very common thing, but the harsh living environment had long made it difficult for him to survive.
They were numb, but miraculously, the harvest was particularly good when the tribal warriors went hunting the next day.
It wasn't until they found the broken bones that had been eaten and the stone dagger in the hands of the bones that they realized that the warrior did not bury himself in the snow, but divided his flesh and blood to attract many prey and gave the tribe a
A rare and great harvest.
Since then, snow burials have become blood burials, at least for those small tribes that are about to die.
"...Then let's listen to the plans of those outsiders."
…………
In the Northern Territory, somewhere in a cave.
"Teacher, it's really cold here, although I can't feel anything."
"Teacher, you should really see the viruses I invented, they are so cute!"
"Teacher, do you think those indigenous barbarians will cooperate with us?"
"Teacher, if I take over this world, what reward will the Lord give me? I'm so looking forward to it!"
"teacher……"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside and interrupted the hoarse muttering: "Your Majesty Bishop, those natives want to see you."
"..."
A pale young man wearing a cloak slowly walked out of the shadow of the cave. The young man held a palm-sized skull in his hand. The skull was flashing with blue and green flames, which looked particularly strange.
The young man was silent for a long time, then suddenly burst into nervous laughter, and said to the skull: "Look, teacher, I said they will be unable to bear it sooner or later. Hehe, it's decided. When I take over this world, I will make a wish to let the general
Teacher, please resurrect me, are you happy? Teacher, this way I can..."
The young man covered his face with one hand, tears streaming down his palms, and cried out: "This way I can...torture the teacher again, wuwuwu!~Hahaha!~"
…………
Time passed, and March passed in the blink of an eye. The wind and cold storm also passed naturally, and Meier returned to a lively state, which also made Lando's doubts less.
On this day, Lando was reading in Carter's study. Carter no longer taught him, but let him read the books in the study.
With the gift of photographic memory, he is not slow in reading, but to understand the essence, reading carefully is the best way. Reading is also a rare moment of relaxation for Lando.
"Lando, have you thought about the future development?" Carter suddenly asked Lando.
"Future development?" Although Lando was puzzled, he also knew that Carter would not be aimless. He thought for a moment and said: "For the time being, the main thing is to improve the strength. In the future, I may travel to the mainland. After all, the world is so big, I want to see it.
look!"
"The world is so big, I want to see it!?" Carter repeated to himself, with shining eyes: "That's good, haha, boy, I like you very much, the world is much bigger than you think.
There’s so much!”
"Huh?! Mr. Carter, what's your suggestion?"
"In about five months, the Royal Capital Academy of Magic will recruit new students, and I happen to be qualified to recommend them. If you want to go, I can write you a letter of recommendation."
"Magic Academy? I'm very interested, Mr. Carter! But I heard that only nobles have recommended places."
Seeing Carter smiling and saying nothing, Lando didn't ask any more questions.
'It seems that Mr. Carter is not simple at all. Hey, magic, I'm really looking forward to it. It would be great if I could get some magic talents during this period.'
…………
Just when Lando was practicing quietly and waiting calmly, a sudden message interrupted the peaceful life he thought he had.
"Barbarian invasion?!"
"Hmph, those barbarians are so crazy that they invaded with their entire clan. I think they want to be exterminated!" Mike snorted and said disdainfully.
"...So now the Baron has summoned us to discuss this matter, right?"
When they came to the meeting hall, there were already many people here, all knights from the territory. After seeing Lando, everyone nodded or waved to say hello, and Lando responded one by one.
Not long after, Baron Moria came. After everyone stopped discussing, he said: "Everyone must know what happened this time. In the past, we didn't care about those barbarians purely because they were worthless. Now they
Invading our territory is simply asking for death. Everyone, go down and prepare. We will set off for Snowy City tomorrow."
What followed was a series of transfers and appointments.
Lando didn't have any tasks at all. He only had to follow the elite team of knights, so he was happy and relaxed.
Looking at the busy knights leaving, he was about to continue to indulge in training and couldn't extricate himself, when a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
'Lando, come here.'
Lando was slightly startled, it was Carter's voice.
"Is this... magic?"
He didn't hesitate too much and walked towards Carter's study.
"Mr. Carter... I have something to ask you."
"No need to test, I asked you to come." Carter looked at the cautious young man in front of him amusedly.
"Oh, I wonder what you have ordered me to do?" Lando said without any embarrassment, and brought the topic to an end.
Carter put away his smile and said seriously: "I feel the aura of some old enemies, and I want you to help me with something."
