Chapter 71 2.29 The First Appearance of the Slavic Slave Worker "Oleg"

After several days of recuperation, Loki's body has recovered almost completely. Sitting opposite him at this time is a Slavic strongman with a silver-white beard. He is wearing a pigskin coat commonly worn by Viking slaves, and his bare arms are covered with scars from knife cuts and axes.

Loki sat upright in the position of the lord of Hanshui Village, and Sophie lay beside his legs and looked at the Slavic slave in front of her with a pair of ignorant eyes. She is Loki's nominal adopted daughter and the heir to Hanshui Village. According to the Vikings' rules, when Loki handles government affairs, she needs to listen on the side.

Even if you can't hear, you have to listen.

Seeing the lord, the Slavic strongman named "Oleg Turaf" subconsciously wanted to kneel down. However, Wenzov, who walked into the hall with him, held his arm steadily.

This is the rule in Hanshui Village. Men do not kneel to anyone except their parents.

Observe his cheek carefully. Loki saw three tattoos of different shapes. This Slav, who was about 40 years old, had changed three masters from Wolf Castle, the main city of Wolf Creek, to Frost Rain Castle, and then to Fog Duck Town.

Generally speaking, the life span of Slavic slaves is between 3 and 5 years. Because no matter what disaster happened in the village, the slaves were the first consumables to be pushed out.

And this slave Oleg, who changed three masters, still survived. This is already quite extraordinary.

What is even more extraordinary is that in the defense of Hanshui Village a month ago, he was the last slave of Fog Duck Town to participate in the battle, and he actually resisted the impact of the cavalry of Blood Pigeon Town!

More than a hundred slaves entered the battlefield, and only 3 survived.

Oleg was one of them.

"Do you want to talk to me about something?" Loki stood up and pulled a chair over to let the tall and thin Slav with a haggard appearance sit down.

Oleg's eyes dodged. Slavic slaves never see people of the lord level in their daily lives. Their direct superiors are women and children who stay in the village. Normally, even if a Viking warrior carrying a big axe passed by, they had to kneel down and kowtow.

Loki pushed over two cups of beer brewed with malt by the tribesmen. Oleg took the cup hesitantly and drank it. After drinking the two cups, his pale cheeks flushed.

Alcohol is a delicacy that Slavic slaves can't touch at all. Oleg, who hadn't tasted alcohol for more than 20 years, finally plucked up the courage and said his first words after entering the castle in Viking language with a strong Slavic accent.

"My Lord, I am the chosen one of the 'Eagle Path' of the 'Haholan Temple'."

"For many years, I have been trying to conceal my identity, because I know that once my identity is exposed, I will be killed by the Viking warriors immediately! No one will feel at ease to put a foreign chosen one next to his wife and children."

"But a month ago, when I came to Hanshui Village, I felt the difference from other towns. During the battle in the village, I saw the monks of the Holy Bishop wielding flaming giant swords. These days, I also saw them maintaining order in the village."

"After coming to Hanshui Village, we were not treated as slaves, but were fairly and justly allocated shelter and food. My former mistress tried to whip me, but she was punished by the Holy Bishop's commandments."

Speaking of this, the tall Slavic warrior's bent waist gradually straightened up. The injustice and mental burden he had endured for many years were gradually being thrown away by him, and his weak tone sounded more and more powerful.

"I have been thinking, if Hanshui Village is a village that allows more beliefs to exist, then is it possible for the 'Haholan Temple' that my people believe in to survive again?"

After saying this, he slowly took out an ancient wooden statue from his pigskin coat. He placed it in front of Loki. This thing is about 1 foot high and 10 centimeters wide. The shape of an eagle is carved on the simple wood. Just from the appearance, it has a strong sense of time.

Intuition tells him that this shabby wooden statue in Oleg's hand should be an object with a very long history.

Loki narrowed his eyes.

The Slavs are a rather mysterious group of people. The organizational structure of the Vikings can be called "loose", but these Slavs are obviously looser.

The entire low-temperature zone in northern Asia is all Slavic land, and their territory is more than ten times larger than the Vikings' Scandinavian Peninsula. In this vast wilderness, according to the experience of the Viking lords who crossed the East, the Slavs have at least more than 20 countries and thousands of tribes with their own factions.

And the beliefs of these countries and tribes are also very different.

The deity "Princess Hakkar" worshipped in the Hakkar Temple is not a human, but a multi-headed snake from ancient times. It has 9 heads and a body similar to the Diplodocus among dinosaurs, but it has two pairs of wings on its back.

According to Ahai's records, the existence of this thing can even be traced back to the "War of the Gods". In other words, this is a terrible monster that lived in the same era as the god Odin.

In terms of the positioning of the gods, it belongs to the old gods. (The gods that were worshipped on a large scale in the last round of human civilization)

The Hakkar Temple gave the Slavs five upgrade paths: giant bear, greedy wolf, elk, eagle and mammoth.

Unlike the "drinking magic potion" in the Hall of Heroes and the preaching of the holy bishops and monks, the upgrade path of the Slavs starts with hunting.

They need to go into the dark snowy mountains to capture wild beasts. After catching the wild beasts, they will be tied up and sent to the Hakkar Temple. They need to live with the wild beasts all day long. Only when they are recognized by the wild beasts can they start the upgrade path.

During this period, 90% of the Slavic warriors will die because they cannot resist the attacks of wild beasts.

Loki had heard of the ancient legend of the Slavic "beast warriors", but he did not expect that these rumors were true. Thinking back to the various strange videos in his previous life, he often saw Slavs fighting black bears with bare hands, wrestling with lions and cheetahs, etc.

It turned out that all this came from here.

There is no doubt that the Hakkar Temple is a more perverted belief than the Hall of Valor. The storm monks in the Hall of Valor give potions, and even the sea giant path with the lowest survival rate has a 30% chance of survival.

And this terrible belief that requires mortals to fight giant bears, eagles, even greedy wolves, and mammoths with bare hands for several days, until these beasts lose their temper and are tamed, has a survival rate of only 10%.

But this does not mean that Loki has no interest in this old god named "Princess Hakkar".

Among the five towns in the valley, Wind's End is the most prosperous, Blood Pigeon has a vast salt field, and Fog Duck is located in the mountains. Relying on the huge number of coniferous forests, pine oil can be made into fuel. Leaping Horse Hill is the only way for herders to graze.

Only Hanshui Village, which is backed by mountains and faces water, has no pillar industry.

There is only one place in Scandinavia that no one will attack, and that is Valhalla in the mountains. It is the place where Vikings gain power and the holy place in everyone's heart.

If Hanshui Village can become a multi-faith village, the Vikings who come here to live can enter various temples and get power from various gods of unknown origin for free. Hanshui Village can rely on these temples to attract more powerful warriors and quickly enhance its own strength.

Especially the Slavs.

What Scandinavia lacks the least is the Slavic slaves looted across the sea. If there is a fair place where they can live with dignity and even maintain their faith, I am afraid that many Slavic slaves with tattoos on their faces will cross the mountains and come to Loki's village.

As long as they are willing to come, Loki has ten thousand ways to keep them here.

Imagine a village where everyone is equal and supervised by the "law" of the Holy Bishop. If you are sick or injured, there are the chosen ones of the Holy Bishop's "Holy Light" path. If you go out hunting, there are professional hunters from the Temple of Hakkar to lead the team. If you go out to sea to plunder, there are sailors, sirens, sea giants and other chosen ones who are good at sailing and underwater combat in the Hall of Heroes to escort you.

While maintaining a stable life, all residents can freely choose their own beliefs. What other village is more suitable for survival in this chaotic world than Hanshui Village?

"My dear friend, I can consider your idea, but"

"In addition to the wooden statue in your arms, building the Temple of Hakkar must require some other things, right? What specific needs do you want to tell me first and see if I can help you complete it."
