Banner of the Evil God

When Sui Xiong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he remembered Qiao Xiu's information.

He is about a hundred years old now. He was born in the northern barbarians. He was originally the chief of the "Ice Bear" tribe. He believes in the goddess of the northern snowfield and blizzard, that is, the famous evil god commonly known as the "Queen of the North". This goddess is powerful. Although she is only of medium power, she has clashed with powerful gods more than once without losing. It is generally believed that she has power comparable to powerful gods. Although she usually brings more disasters than blessings, with her powerful strength and fierce deterrence, her belief in the north is very solid, even surpassing the patron saint of the barbarians, "Elder Bear Herder".

Most people in the Ice Bear tribe believe in "Elder Bear Herder", the patron saint of the barbarians. However, Qiao Xiu was different. As a strong man, he could not agree that the old man, who had the support of the good gods and barbarians, was still at a disadvantage in the fight against the evil gods of the "Frost Alliance" headed by the "Queen of the North", so he chose to follow the strong and became a believer of the "Queen of the North".

In fact, he was not just a believer, but a priest - he was a soul shaman.

Shamans are a type of priests unique to areas with relatively backward civilization. Unlike priests, they do not directly contact gods through prayers to obtain divine power and spells, but first contact "spirits" and then contact gods through "spirits". Spirits are generally upgraded from the ancestors of the tribe, or transformed from a powerful creature living near the tribe. They only have souls left, but they are very powerful, probably with the power equivalent to that of a messenger of God.

In the shaman's belief system, spirits are the real medium of divine power, and the importance of priests themselves is not high. As long as a tribe has a high-level spirit, even if the shaman's own level is not high, it can cast powerful spells.

Some shamans believe in ancestors instead of gods, so they can ignore this step. Although they are more primitive and barbaric, they look more like priests.

Qiao Xiu's spirit is a powerful monster, the ice bear. When he first believed in the Queen of the North, he went out hunting alone. With extraordinary bravery and luck, he hunted down this vicious monster, and pleased the goddess with it, becoming her priest. The soul of the ice bear was transformed by the goddess into his spirit.

If things continue to develop like this, perhaps Qiao Xiu will become a great chieftain famous in the north, or a famous great shaman. Maybe after a few decades or hundreds of years, he may lead the barbarian army to the south to fight against the Orc Empire and become a record in the history of the "Northern Wind Ice Disaster".

However, perhaps it was a trick of fate, or perhaps it was just a game that the goddess didn't care about. The Ice Bear Tribe was destroyed by severe cold and blizzards in one winter. Qiao Xiu prayed very hard, and even offered his only child as a sacrifice, but he couldn't make the goddess show her mercy.

Finally, Qiao Xiu, who had lost everything, became angry in despair. He hated and cursed the goddess he believed in madly, then left the snowfield and headed south.

He wandered for several years. Although the hatred in his heart had never subsided, the anger in his chest gradually subsided. Then he thought about what he should do.

The dead are gone, and the dead cannot be resurrected. His goal of revenge was also difficult to achieve. Would he spend his whole life in hopeless hatred and curses?

In confusion, he came to the ancient forest in the south, encountered the temple that existed at the beginning of the creation of the world, and met the old sage who was said to be older than the gods.

Although the sage was only a frog the size of a fist, he gave him good advice, so he decided to change his goal and rebuild the Ice Bear Tribe.

And his plan was to give birth to enough children, and then the children would have grandchildren... In this way, as long as he worked hard, maybe after four or five generations, the Ice Bear Tribe could be rebuilt.

Many people were very surprised by this. They didn't understand why Qiao Xiu was so obsessed with relying entirely on his descendants to rebuild the tribe. Sui Xiong once asked Qiao Xiu about this question, and Qiao Xiu's answer was "Only my descendants can inherit my anger."

Can only your descendants inherit your anger? Sui Xiong didn't think so.

However, he didn't mean to refute, but just curiously watched Qiao Xiu to see what this barbarian big man could do.

In order to get enough descendants, Qiao Xiu was very indulgent in his private life. When he was active in Shuangtouhe City, at least one-third of the female mercenaries and almost all the prostitutes in the city had fixed or irregular relationships with him. Later, he joined the Church of the Void Mask and became the leader of the mobile force. He even used almost all of his income to increase the number of women around him as much as possible, or... increase the number of descendants.

As far as Sui Xiong knows, when he became a legendary strongman, his descendants had exceeded fifty people.

After becoming a legendary strongman, Qiao Xiu restrained himself a little. This is because he has absolute certainty that he can live until his descendants reproduce and grow in number enough to form a tribe.

Otherwise, if he still maintained his original style, relying on his status as a legendary warrior, maybe in just two or three years, he would have a family big enough to form a tribe - as a legendary warrior, as long as he was not "picky", two or three hundred women would not be a big problem...

Sure enough, now he has achieved his original goal.

Thinking of this, Sui Xiong subconsciously used the faith connection to check on Qiao Xiu's situation.

He saw a newly built tribe in the east of the northern ice field, adjacent to a snow-covered canyon.

This tribe is slightly different from the ordinary northern barbarian tribes. It is located a little too far north, and there are no pastures nearby. Instead, there is a huge teleportation array in the square in the center of the tribe.

Sui Xiong recognized the origin of the teleportation array at a glance - the combination of several groups of magic runes is exactly the style of Master Satan, the chief mage of the Void Mask Church. I think this teleportation array was made by his disciples even if it was not made by him. The most likely one is probably the most outstanding one among his disciples, Niss Parn.

With the teleportation array, this newly built "Ice Bear" tribe can sell their hunting or mining harvests at a suitable price and buy enough food. Perhaps in the future they can also act as a second-hand dealer, purchasing the products of other barbarians, and then selling food and daily necessities to them.

In general, the foundation of this tribe is still quite solid.

"Qiao Xiu finally realized his dream!" Looking at Qiao Xiu who was leading his grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even great-great-grandchildren to hold daily worship in the central square of the tribe and pray to the huge jellyfish statue carved out of ice, Sui Xiong smiled and nodded gently.
