Rise of Rurik

The wise girl had given up resistance, and her hands and feet were freed from shackles.

On the way home, Niya no longer has to pull the sled himself.

The reindeer acquired at home made a good service, and Rurik sat on the sleigh, and of course his new servant.

The girl's uneasy eyes kept staring at the little boy sitting in front of him, while the most vicious sword-wielding man strode beside the sleigh, or did he cast a vigilant look.

The mighty army walks its final journey in the translucent snowfields illuminated by the stars, moonlight and even the northern lights. Their east is the frozen sea, and the west is the heavy mountains.

When a new short day dawns, the sun struggles to break through the shackles of the horizon.

The awakened people see the direction of home.

Roseburg, Roseburg in the Fjords.

Finally home!

Still have the kung fu to keep grilling meat on the snow? No!

In an instant, people who used to be very organized and disciplined are now fighting their own way. It seems like a competition, and the one who goes home first is king.

Otto and his wife, Nia, crawled out of the snow shelter tent, irritated and startled by the group running away.

Soon he himself understood why everyone ran wild.

"Nya, wake Rurik and let's go home. Well, and the deer cub."

After Otto finished speaking, he shouted the names of the most loyal guys.

After a while, Harozov ran up laughing.

"Leader, let's go, go back early."

"I just want to tell you this. Let's organize it, don't let everyone run around."

Many people, their trophy reindeer turned into delicacies in their stomachs, or turned into lumps of frozen meat, together with deerskin and antlers, all trapped on the sled.

How could Otto look after fifty deer?

He generously sold part of it for two silver coins, and now he has only five bucks and fifteen females under his control.

Sitting on hundreds of deer, of course Otto fantasized about it. The real problem was here. He really didn't believe that the deer breeder girl could take care of him more, and he was even more worried about whether she would choose an opportunity to escape.

If everything is ideal, the small herd of deer will continue to multiply, and the wealth of the family, let alone the wealth of the son in the future, will increase greatly.

Maybe the deer herd will grow in the future, but can they live to that time?

Otto planned his work for the next few days. The first and most important thing was to report to the elders, especially the priests.

This trip is really too long, maybe it will be bad for Villa's scolding.

Maybe give her a live cart-pulling deer as a gift and she'll be happy.

The mighty army started its final journey, and everyone didn't take the leader's maintenance of order seriously.

Their position is already "on their doorstep, and many are running wild on the frozen sea, no slower than summer rowing.

They appeared in Xiawan, and the short day was coming to an end.

Those clansmen who went out to chisel ice and fish for seals were the first to discover them, so when Otto triumphed, almost all the clansmen put on thick clothes and stood densely on the old snow-covered beach, cheering to the returnees.

The team is so mighty, and they received a lot of goods regularly on this trip.

This is indeed the case.

Anyone who followed Otto on an adventure north had at least two cargoes of deerskins, and many had acquired fine ferret and forest cat skins.

The husband hunts for a long time to obtain rich game, and the wife has enough time to tan the fur.

Because although they return, the long winter is still long.

Even Hanukkah is considered the beginning of the year, which simply means that the days get longer and longer after the day.

The Ross tribe also has another big festival, the so-called "Break Ice Festival".

When the frozen sea surface melts in a large area, and traditional shipping resumes, the tribe will hold large sacrifices as appropriate.

They will be priests of the sea god, the god of weather, and of course the great god Odin. The shipping trade during the balloon hot spring period is normal.

There is indeed no shortage of sacrifices for the tribe this year, and one-third of the looted reindeer still did not starve to death.

Undoubtedly, these deer have also completed the most brutal migration in their life.

After all, they are domesticated deer, and the deer are either serving the Sami or other tribes.

After all, deer cannot be expected to live to old age and die of old age. Even among the Sami people, deer that have lost their ability to work are eaten by the Sami people.

When it comes to the Ross tribe, ordinary people will eat it quickly.

So in the future sacrifice, Otto thought about himself as the leader, but he had to take out some deer as sacrifices.

It is honorable to provide deer for sacrifice, and this behavior reflects the financial strength of the supplier, and it also represents the power.

When it really came to the door of the house, Otto thought of so many things that he suddenly slapped his forehead and blamed himself for his arbitrariness.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have sold so many deer for silver coins. I would have to spend a lot of money on the sacrifice. Well, it's all for the sake of establishing Rurik's prestige."

There is no doubt that Otto is an old man, and it is inevitable that the wealth will be fully inherited by Rurik.

But Otto didn't know that the deer-keeper girl was Rurik's personal servant.

Rurik had no intention of treating her as a deer-keeping servant and nothing more, or that deer-raising was just a sideline of the girl's day job.

Rosburg's massive log cabins and rocks, built on the hillside, appeared before the people, and the towering masts of long ships that were pushed ashore to avoid being damaged by sea ice.

Roseburg in the snow, Rurik was the first time to see its fantastic and heroic appearance under the sunset.

It was the most incredible feeling for that deer-keeper girl.

She only knew from her dead family members that there were a group of savages in the south, and they were indeed savage, like wolves hiding in the snow to deal a fatal blow to herself and her family.

Today, I finally got a glimpse of the barbarian's homeland, and the girl's concept immediately collapsed.

They are savage indeed, but is the place where they live really savage?

She saw a very large ship, with towering masts.

She saw a lot of houses, much better than the wooden tents she had before.

She also saw some people dressed in bright clothes, mainly blue, with yellows mixed in, which was out of tune with the gray and white of the surrounding snow world.

What shocked her most was the settlement's large population.

They were savages, they were wolves, but the wolves were so huge.

The grandmother who was killed by them had said that the barbarians were so numerous that the ancestors could not resist their attacks, and that the survivors had to flee.

The old grandmother even mentioned Gao, the ancestors traded with them and exchanged furs for tools of barbarians. Those axes were really good lumberjacks, and as a result they went from man to wolf.

The team finally merged with the large crowd. Seeing the men and women laughing around, the girl's mood became more complicated.

Does she hate it? I really hate it, but I can't hate the little boy sitting in front of me at all.

She at least understands that this little brother layer intends to protect herself, so that she who has lost her family and warmth suddenly has a warm feeling.

She hated other savages, but this boy was not, he was like family.

Now her mind is in a mess, especially her own future. She doesn't know what the boy sitting in front of the sled and the man with the sword will do to her.
