The barbarian boy was crying and evading the capture of several strong female slaves while circling the obstacles, fully demonstrating his flexibility, but after all, he was underage and his body was very weak. As time went by, he began to lose strength, and his knees hurt while running. He felt weak and staggered. Ingrid seized the opportunity and pushed him to the ground. Several other older barbarian female slaves rushed over and tied the howling barbarian boy tightly with ropes and sticks.
When Wiltok led people outside, Yog had already been carried into a small wooden house by several barbarian female slaves, and was firmly fixed on a table. The older barbarian female slaves prepared hot water, cotton towels, and hemostatic herbs. Ingrid took out a small knife from a stone basin filled with spirits and remained unmoved by Yog's scolding, crying and begging for mercy. He said indifferently: "No one here has circumcised boys. It's also my first time to have surgery. I heard it will be very painful, and you may die as you get older... I blame your shaman mother for being a natural laborer like you. I should have received the ceremony in the tribe, so I don’t have to suffer this sin now.”
Feeling that the trembling knife was approaching his vitals, Yog tightened his buttocks in vain, let out a desperate roar, and cursed: "You bitch slave, I am the son of the shaman of the Taka tribe, a survivor under the sky fire. , is the king of the barbarians chosen by the heavenly spirit. If you let me go now, I will marry you as my queen when I come of age... Wu, Wu, Wu, you can't do this to me, Wu Wu, please stop, Wu. Ugh...Help! Someone, help!"
Sweat broke out on Ingrid's forehead, and his hands shook even more. She didn't care about Yog's coercion, begging for mercy, and crying. She just didn't know how to circumcise a barbarian boy.
Seeing that the leader was hesitant to take the sword, a barbarian female slave picked up a big wooden stick from the side and said eagerly: "Should we knock him out first so that you can do it more easily?"
Another female barbarian slave looked at the big wooden stick made of hard tree roots and said angrily: "How can you knock out an almost adult barbarian male? Just beat him to death, it will save us all trouble."
Ingrid raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said: "You can't hit him... He is almost an adult. If you don't knock him out, but instead trigger a bloody rage, it will be very troublesome... Come, take this basin of wine Give him a drink and then gag him."
Several barbarian female slaves immediately took action, pinched Yog's cheeks, forced the liquor from the stone basin into his mouth, and then blocked him with a cotton towel.
Ingrid took a deep breath, and just as he was about to strike, Wiltok led several people into the cabin.
"It hasn't started yet? It hasn't started yet?"
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yog tied to the table with a cotton towel stuffed in his mouth. He remembered that Piru, the shopkeeper at the Adventurer's House, looked like this at the beginning, so he curiously said to Mayor Mine: "Barbarians Is the 'circumcision' also infused with the secret medicine of awakening?"
Ingrid put away the knife and bowed to Myne along with several barbarian female slaves. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, we have disturbed you. Please don't worry, we will handle it soon."
Mine waved his hand and turned to answer Wiltok's question, "'Circumcision' means using a knife to completely block his fertility. It has nothing to do with the half-elf's secret medicine for awakening."
Seeing Wiltok was like seeing a savior. Yog burst into tears, but his mouth was blocked and he could not speak.
Wiltok did not take care of the barbarian boy's mood. He frowned his slender and straight eyebrows and asked: "Will banning fertility make him stronger?"
Huck, John and others who came over all laughed. Huck said: "Vell, why do you have such a strange idea? Only when barbarian slave men are treated as slaves, their violent and aggressive tempers will become docile and obedient. They will not change." Strong, but can also do heavy physical work.”
At this time, Wiltok noticed that Yog had tears in his eyes and looked pitiful in praying to him, so he said: "He seems to be very scared."
"Of course he is scared. Not only will it be very painful for him to receive the gift now, but he may also die." Main shook his head, leaned over to observe Yog's body, and then nodded and said: "The physical signs of the barbarians are indeed the same as those described in the book... In fact, the custom of 'circumcision' is only practiced by the barbarians of the Blackstone tribe. This also starts with the unique reproduction method of the orcs. Compared with the barbarians who look like half-elves, the orcs are more like beasts. Among the orcs, Only the strongest males and strongest females reproduce."
"A half-orc mother can give birth to 6 or 7 cubs at a time. The strongest cubs will receive careful care from the orc parents. They can develop normally and have the ability to reproduce when they reach adulthood. The height of the male will even grow to They are over 2 meters tall and have advanced blood-rage talents. They call themselves slaughterers, while the Disa Alliance calls these male half-orcs 'butchers'."
"Those half-orc cubs who were eliminated at birth, under the oppression of the 'butcher' father and eldest mother, their reproductive systems stopped developing, and they had no ability to reproduce when they grew up. They have low intelligence and are generally no more than 1.7 meters tall. They need There is also little food, among them those who can awaken the primary blood rage talent are called fighters, and those who cannot awaken are called coolies."
"If the 'butcher' in the half-orc group is killed by the 'butcher' invader from other groups, the fighter and coolie will have the opportunity to re-grow and become a 'butcher' or a 'big mother' when there is plenty of food. Therefore, half-orcs Orc coolies rarely take the initiative to participate in battles when they are invaded by their own kind."
"Barbarians are different. They all have the ability to reproduce. However, the half-orcs of the Blackstone Tribe like to rob the barbarians of their food. Due to food shortages, the barbarians can only practice the custom of 'circumcision' to artificially create barbarian 'coolies' so that the strongest children can Get more food.”
"Only by doing this can they cultivate barbarian warriors and barbarian fighters who can compete with the orcs."
"Weak barbarian women can only give birth to one child at a time, and their reproductive qualifications are deprived by the tribe. If the tribe is short of food, these girls will be sold by the tribe first. This is how hundreds of barbarian female slaves in the plantation came to be."
"The situation of barbarian boys is a bit troublesome. When they reach adulthood, regardless of whether they have awakened the blood rage talent, they become brave and aggressive. It is difficult for us to drive strong barbarian slave males, and the barbarians themselves cannot stand the fight for their young and aggressive peers. They fight for food and mates, and if they can't fight, they will break up. Therefore, the Blackstone Barbarians focus on cultivating naturally strong children."
"Weak barbarian boys are usually gifted before they are two years old. Because once barbarians are over two years old, their vital parts will shrink into the body and be effectively protected. If you want to operate on them at this time, it is equivalent to killing them."
Mayor Mine turned his head and reprimanded several barbarian female slaves: "Ingrid, you are just messing around! Yog is Mr. Wiltok's barbarian slave. It is up to him to decide what to do with him. How can you make the decision without authorization?"
These barbarian female slaves were obedient and did not dare to speak, but Ingrid knelt directly in front of Wiltok and said: "Sir, there are more than four hundred barbarian female slaves in Braun Plantation. Every year, young barbarian girls are raped. Sold over, we take care of them and teach them to work, just like their mothers. The guards of the plantation protect us from the persecution of the orcs, and choose partners from among us, like our spouses. We live well here , because both half-elves and barbarian slaves abide by the rules of the alliance, but he..."
Ingrid pointed at Yog, who had tears and runny nose, and said loudly: "This barbarian slave is almost an adult. If he stays here, he is breaking the rules of the plantation. If he is your slave, I ask you to let him leave the plantation." , or allow us to circumcise him.”
Barbarians, Orcs, Fighters, Bloodrage Talents... These words attracted Wiltok's attention. He handed over what Mayor Myne just said to the "Knowledge Puzzle" for processing and analysis, hoping to find new clues to restore his memory. .
He was listening to Myne's story with great interest, but Ingrid suddenly turned the question to himself. Wiltok looked left and right, and asked innocently: "Yog is staying in the plantation." Why did Yuan break the rules?"
The surrounding half-elves and barbarian female slaves were suddenly collectively embarrassed. Captain Hack couldn't help but said loudly: "The rule is that the barbarian female slaves are coolies in the tribe and cannot give birth to little barbarians. They can't give birth to little barbarian slaves in the Disa Alliance! Yog. He is almost an adult. There are hundreds of barbarian slave girls on the plantation. He must leave."
Mayor Maien also explained: "Small barbarian tribes are often robbed by orcs, and their food cannot support more tribesmen. Weak barbarian women and barbarians cannot have children, but this does not mean that they do not have children. Ability. Judging from Yog's current physique, he should have received rituals at a very young age, but his mother is a shaman... That is to say, a female shaman with a weak constitution gave birth to a child with a weak constitution, and she used shamanism to Man's privilege to protect his son. Now, the female shaman is dead, and her son who is about to become an adult has become your slave. According to the laws of the alliance, Yog can either accept the ceremony now or be expelled..."
"What did you say! Xinna is dead?"
Vertok's eyes were sharp, and the sharp edge of the high-ranking person was naturally revealed, and the experienced old sage couldn't help but take half a step back.
"Xinna died last night. We tried our best but could not save her life." Ingrid spoke in time, drawing Wiltok's attention to himself.
Wiltok was very upset. The barbarian female shaman Xina gave him a very special feeling, especially the language she spoke could arouse the response of the "knowledge puzzle".
But she actually died while she was sleeping. Is this clue terminated?
Wiltok thought for a while, walked to the table, pulled out the cotton towel from Yog's mouth, and asked: "Your mother is dead. Can you speak the language your mother spoke to me?"
The barbarian boy gasped for air and said in jerky half-elf language: "I won't...let me go. I'm not your slave. Let me go...please...wuwu..."
Seeing that he was talking endlessly, Wiltok silently stuffed his mouth with a cotton towel again, and then stood there in deep thought.
No one disturbed Vertok while he was thinking. The barbarian slave girl didn't dare, but the half-elf couldn't bear it or didn't want to.
Not long after, Wiltok received feedback from "Knowledge Puzzle" and his ideas gradually became clearer. He asked: "Barbarian shamans have a high status in the tribe? Do they have any abilities?"
Main was just startled by Vertok, so he observed him with interest and replied smoothly: "Barbarian shamans generally have the ability to predict and predict, sometimes it is accurate, sometimes it is not. They also know how to heal, and some Some high-level shamans can even release powerful lightning. The stronger the shaman's ability, the higher their status in the barbarian tribe."
Divination and prediction...another key information was included in the "knowledge puzzle". Wiltok continued to ask: "Is it because Yog's fertility is blocked, so he can't awaken the blood rage talent?"
Ingrid glanced at Yog, nodded and replied: "Yes, he will become well-behaved and obedient."
Vertok immediately had the answer in his mind.
Shamanshina has a high status in the tribe, and her spouse should also be a barbarian with status. Logically speaking, Yog would be cared for by his father in the tribe, but when the female shaman was about to die, she asked the tribe to take her and Yog to the plantation. Her people knew full well that Yog would not be accepted by the half-elves, but they did it anyway. They believe in the divination prophecies of the female shaman, which means that Xinna and her son are approaching them with purpose.
So, Xinna’s clue is not broken, but lies with Yog!
The bloodrage talent of the barbarians is the key. Now I want to find out what the bloodrage talent is?
Wiltok took off the cotton towel from Yog's mouth, deftly untied the knot with both hands, helped the barbarian boy sit up, and took off his cloak to cover his body, stubborn. He said: "The barbarian tribe has not accepted my sword, so Yog is not my slave, but I don't care what the rules are. Yog wants to be with me. Where I am, he is there!"
The barbarian boy burst into tears. Just because of Vertok's protective stance, Yog kept him firmly in his heart.
Mayor Main doesn't care much about this matter. For things like rules, the weaker the person, the more they know how to respect them, just like the barbarian female slaves on the plantation. How can they protect themselves except obeying the rules?
However, there are still slave traders in the alliance who secretly raise healthy and strong barbarian slaves, let them have healthy offspring with barbarian female slaves, and then sell them for profit. There are too many interests involved, and it clearly violates the legal provisions of the alliance, but it cannot be completely banned.
In fact, Myen is a staunch anti-slavery faction among the alliance sages, advocating the abolition of the barbarian slave system and the expulsion of all barbarian slaves.
Due to racial differences, it would have been difficult for the Blackstone Tribe, the Disa Alliance, and the Orc Kingdom to penetrate each other. However, because of the barbarian slave system of the Disa Alliance, the Blackstone Tribe's infiltration into the alliance has become a fact that cannot be ignored.
Although the barbarians have no political status or voice within the alliance, it does not mean that they have no influence. Especially in the past hundred years, the Alliance has opened up borders and used a large number of barbarian slaves as labor force. The population of barbarians on the border gradually exceeded that of half-elves.
If Dragon King Philumat no longer restrains the Blackstone Tribe, the consequences will be disastrous.
Mine even suspected that the chief of the Blackstone Tribe deliberately squeezed the barbarians' living space toward the alliance. If the Blackstone Orcs tear up the peace agreement one day, the plantations and mines developed by the Alliance on the border, as well as more than 100,000 barbarian slaves, will fall into the hands of the Blackstone Chief.
Considering this possibility, the alliance enacted a law that strictly prohibited barbarian slaves from multiplying and growing within the alliance. However, this law was also the result of a compromise with interested parties.
However, from a personal emotional point of view, Mine himself had raised several young and beautiful private female slaves in the plantation, and he could not bear to expel the well-behaved and sensible Ingrid and all her wild female slaves.
In comparison, what does Vertok's decision to protect a barbarian boy mean?
The mayor nodded to Ingrid, indicating that she obeyed Wiltok's request, and then said to him: "Okay, you can keep Yog, but you can't let Yog take advantage of the barbarian slave girl."
Yog immediately shouted: "I can't, they are all so ugly..."
"Bah! You are the ugliest one." Ingrid sneered: "In a few months, you won't know whether you will do something stupid. If you dare to seduce the barbarian female slaves in the plantation, I promise to kill you. ! Anyway, you are not this master’s slave.”
Mine ignored the barbarian slave girl's intimidation of Yog and only said to Wiltok: "Vil, Yog's matter has been resolved. Can we go back to learning the alphabet now?"
Wiltok looked at Mayor Mine in surprise and said, "Except for those few words, I can't remember any other letters..."
