Xenophilius walked for ten years and did not record everything about the Bayin people, but he visited every inch of the Bayin Kingdom. Although he had dragons, he liked to walk more often, because
On the way, you might meet Beyin people traveling from different immigrant villages. They will sit in front of the campfire and chat.
Today he met a veteran who was the captain of the food delivery team on the way to Bayin Heights from where they lived.
Many wars occurred in the past ten years. Although the fights were between village chiefs and farmers holding farm tools, Xenophilius recorded the first battle that took place eight years ago.
The battle between two villages of knights and meritorious knights.
In the end, it unexpectedly ended with the victory of the knights who passed on the skills. The two knights were dead and injured and no longer had the advantage. It was this battle that made everyone realize how important it is to pass on the magic combat skills.
After the first war, many battles occurred and many veterans appeared.
The young man named Huogu in front of him is a second-generation Beyin. He is only twenty-six this year but has already participated in six battles. He has made great contributions and has been awarded the title of Expeditionary Knight. Now he is responsible for escorting this year's taxes.
Setting out with two soldiers and a carriage, they met Xenophilius on the road.
"Have you ever seen God?" "My parents pray to God every day, but they never get a response," Huogu said.
This was not the first time that Xenophilius heard this question, because only the first generation of Bayin people had seen God, and the second generation of Bayin people had basically never seen the Duran family, and even the king was rarely seen.
, mainly to contact the expedition knights in my own village.
For example, the fire drums and others sent taxes, but they were only accepted by the priests, and Saber himself could not be seen. Xenophilius was a very famous person, and he was called a poet by everyone, because the things he recorded were often very romantic, and everyone liked them.
I like listening to it very much. In ten years, Xenophilius has been able to meet many people and left many legends.
In the process of recording history, Xenophilius himself gradually became a part of history and a being that was praised by others.
"No, but I have seen the king." Xenophilius knew that if he answered yes, he would be in a lot of trouble, so he learned his lesson, and now he always says no when he hears this question.
"King, the man who lives in the palace of Bayin Highlands, the man who appears on the gold coins." Fire Drum shrugged without giving any extra admiration. The person he was loyal to was the expedition knight who managed them: "I heard that you
I have been to many places, but have you ever been to our Edelweiss Village?”
"I went there the year before last. At that time, you were fighting against the Northern Iron Giant Ridge. I went to record your battle." It seemed that I was recalling the bloody battle. It was the most tragic battle in ten years.
Several expeditionary knights who wanted to seize the iron giant mountain mines in the north formed an alliance and established an army of a thousand people, gathering in the village of Snow Velvet. The iron giant mountain also spent money to hire an army of 700 from friendly villages.
.
This is definitely the largest war in the history of the Beyin people so far, and it also takes the longest time. In the past, wars were more like a pastime in boring time. Usually, after spring planting and before autumn harvest, hundreds of people from both sides gathered to beat each other.
After a few days, the two corpses were left behind, and then negotiations began. They gave up some food and money. In addition to this year's harvest, the victorious village also received some extra money.
This model is accepted by most villages, especially some villages with poor land and small harvests, so the extra money from fighting has become their main income.
But in the Northern War, the two sides assembled three times the number of troops than in a normal battle, and they had a clear goal, which was to seize the mines. The battle lasted for half a year, until the weather in the north became too cold.
, more soldiers froze to death than warriors, and the two sides had to stop fighting. It was a meaningless battle without a winner, but the brutality was moving.
Huo Gu was also in a trance, looking at the bonfire. It was his second time on the battlefield that year. He still remembered that it was a bone-chilling winter, and he squatted in the snow to look for grass roots. At the end of the battle, all the food in Xuerong Village was gone.
They were basically all eaten, and no food could be sent later, so the soldiers had to go hungry.
"Iron's Giant Ridge!" He read the name through gritted teeth. Huo Gu hated that village very much.
"He changed the king's price for ore, so that you have to spend double or more gold coins to buy strong metal farm tools. This is the cause of the war. The dissatisfied villages united and wanted to take over the mines, so the war began
Xenophilius remembered clearly: "Eight hundred and seventeen soldiers, these are only the recorded deaths. Many people also died after leaving the battlefield, not including innocent villagers who died of starvation. In the end
The result was that Iron Giant Ridge lowered the price of iron ore, the two parties reached an agreement, and the war ended."
"Our farm tools are still very expensive." Huogu said angrily: "Whether it's a king or a god, they don't care about our plight at all and let the Iron Giant Ridge absorb our wealth."
Xenophilius knew that since the price of ore increased, there had been a lot of turmoil in various places, and there was even a small wave of price increases. Fortunately, the expedition knights in various places also felt that this was wrong, so they suppressed the price increase.
.It is estimated that this is the earliest economic crisis in the world.
However, after the Northern War, hatred between the various villages has formed, and war will be inevitable in the future.
"Poet, where are you going next?"
Xenophilius raised his head and looked into the dark distance: "Next, I will go outside the country of Bei Yin to visit the country of beasts."
"That's quite far away."
"We walked through several mountains and waded through several rivers to get there. I heard that people and animals live together in that place."
"They are the descendants of exiles, the descendants of criminals, they are beasts." All those who commit serious crimes will be sent outside the country of Bei Yin. This has been a habit since the first killer, and they are sent to the source of magic.
As punishment. For the Bayin people, leaving the Bayin Highlands is nothing, but leaving the source of magic is definitely not an option, because they can obtain a healthy and strong physique from the source of magic.
The Beyin people stubbornly believe that if they leave the range of the source of magic, they will turn into monsters.
In fact, as long as they insist on exercising, there is no problem even if they leave the source of magic, but even if they are told the truth, they will not be willing to leave.
"You should hire more soldiers to protect you." Huogu said kindly.
"No need." Xenophilius smiled: "I have a way to protect myself." The fire dragon Norbert was fast asleep not far away.
The bonfire was crackling, and the sky was pitch black without any stars. Perhaps after the Beyin people become extinct, new stars or stars may not appear in the universe, so the Beyin people must be able to endure loneliness just like this night.
, as the pioneers of this universe, they still have a long and arduous road to go.
The road is long and far away, and we will continue to search up and down.
