Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 78: The former glory of the northern barbarians

Sam led everyone to the wooden house that he had specially built.

The house is not very big, and it is cluttered with items. Goat heads and various unknown animal teeth are hung on the walls as decoration.

On the simple layers of wall panels were various dyes made from stone powder, feathers of various colors, and strange things in bottles and jars.

Full of mystery.

This wooden house also completely satisfied Levi's inherent impression of shamans. Only these shamans in the wilderness would decorate their homes like this. It was unknown whether it was to increase their own mystery and make people more awe-inspiring or for other reasons.

After turning the unknown animal head that looked like a decoration in the room, a series of "bang bang" sounds appeared on the ground that was originally covered with animal skins, revealing an underground passage full of traces of time.

The dark passage, which is big enough to accommodate an adult, spreads downward like a huge mouth of the abyss that is about to swallow up life.

Everyone was a little surprised. It was obvious that this passage had a history of at least several hundred years. It was fine that the mechanism could still be activated, but no one expected it to appear in a savage tribe.

"Please come in, sir." Sam made way for him flatteringly.

Levi just looked at him with a smile, without moving at all.

Sam's expression froze. As a veteran, he naturally knew what this meant. He smiled awkwardly, lit the torch, and walked into the passage first.

Levi nodded with satisfaction.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If this old bastard had just joined the system team, he would not mind showing off his monarchical style of not employing people if he doubts them, and trusting people when he employs them.

But this old guy kept jumping around, so Levi had to be careful.

Just as he was about to follow, Zat stopped him.

"Boss, I'll take the lead!"

Zat took off the exaggerated horned helmet on his head, holding a torch in one hand and a fine steel double-edged battle axe in the other, facing the relatively narrow passage, he bent his tall and burly body and squeezed in.

Levi understood it after a little thought and did not stop it.

Yes, now he is no longer the lonely man he used to be. He has a whole family under him who depend on him for food.

I'm afraid this group of people value his life more than he does.

Maybe in the future when the weather gets cold, she will take the initiative to buy him another piece of clothing.

Five barbarians were left guarding the entrance of the passage, and Levi walked in with Zat and Muto protecting him in the middle.

If he really encountered a danger that even he could not resist in such a small place, it would be useless no matter how many orcs went in. On the contrary, a small number of people would be more advantageous to him.

The downward passage was only about two blades high and one and a half blades wide, just right for humans, but Zat and Muto moved forward with their backs bent the whole time.

This place is underground, and except for the entrance, the sealed stone walls around it cut off any possibility of light entering.

Even under the illumination of torches, visibility in the dark passage was still no more than three blades.

"It's so dark in here." As soon as the lord's words came out, they immediately echoed in the passage, sounding very empty.

"It's so dark..."

“It’s dark…”

"what……"

"Sir, there is an echo in here, you have to speak softly." Sam suddenly appeared at a corner holding a torch. His wrinkled face revealed a strange smile under the light of the fire.

"Damn, you want to scare me, right?" Levi cursed and slapped him on the neck: "Lead the way quickly." Sam looked aggrieved, moved the torch away from his face, rubbed his sore neck, and continued to lead the way.

"The air here is quite fresh. I can clearly feel the breeze blowing through the cracks in the rocks."

"There should be a dedicated ventilation passage leading to the outside world."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Sam suddenly stopped moving forward and used a torch to light the piles of firewood that came into his sight one by one.

These dried pine woods are full of oil and are more flammable than strong liquor. It seems that Sam must have prepared them in advance.

The dark space gradually became as bright as day as the firewood pile burned fiercely.

Unlike the narrow corridor in front, this is an underground stone chamber. The dark blue stone walls around it have obviously existed for an unknown period of time.

The stone chamber was very empty, with only a stone platform in the center, on which lay an egg the size of a palm. Unfortunately, the egg seemed to be carved out of stone, with its surface covered with exquisite patterns of clouds and trees.

"My Lord, this is where I hid the magic scroll. In fact, this is also where I found it."

Sam walked to the stone platform and bowed devoutly, as if what was in front of him was not a stone egg but the god he believed in.

"Is this a dragon egg?"

The unsophisticated lord who had never seen the world asked a soul-searching question.

"Dragon eggs?" Sam sneered with disdain, then saluted Levi with his hand on his chest, "Sir, please allow me to keep it a secret for a while."

At this moment, the shaman's aura was different, as if he was one of the knowledgeable old scholars in Wangting University.

"Although the Evil Fang Tribe is just an ordinary tribe in the Kaas Mountains, it actually has a very long history. Even though there are no written words or books passed down, our ancestors have always passed down the story of our true birth."

"In the past, the Kaas Mountains were not like they are now, with countless tribes of all sizes scattered around. There used to be a country here - the Mountain Country, that was its name."

"And you are the people of the Mountain Kingdom?" Levi said at the right time.

"Yes, all the tribes, big and small, in the Kaas Mountains were actually once the people of the Mountain Kingdom."

"The Mountain Country believed in the Goddess of Nature and was her subject. However, after the fall of the Mountain Country, the Goddess of Nature disappeared."

"Damn! Don't tell me this egg was made by this goddess of nature."

Levi's heart was beating fast and he felt a suffocating feeling.

What is clear is that in the magical era of the Middle Ages thousands of years ago, these gods really existed, and those powerful dragons or magical creatures were nothing compared to these gods.

No wonder Sam was so disdainful of the dragon before.

Levi didn't expect that this group of northern savages had such a history, which was quite shocking considering their current situation.

Even the big fool Zat unconsciously showed a trace of awe on his face.

The orcs also believe in the Orc God, and although this goddess of nature is not the one they believe in, she is a god like the Orc God and is naturally worthy of respect.

"That's not the case. It's just that this egg carries the exclusive mark of the Goddess of Nature. It's obviously related to the Goddess of Nature." Sam explained.

This made Levi secretly relieved without showing any expression on his face.

As long as this world has anything to do with gods or something like that, it is worth being extremely vigilant.
