Rise of Rurik

A stout, large hood lay over Rurik's thin shoulders.

Otto asked: "My son, the money will be yours sooner or later. Really, to build?"

"Yes, we will be stronger because of this." Rurik was determined.

"Okay, you'll take me to see the house you're building. Is that our new home? I'll just go check it out."

visit? This is a good thing!

Rurik had planned to take his father, the chief leader, to visit his masterpieces from a distance.

In the same way, Otto also intends to visit those "Novgorod-style" buildings that his wife and son say.

Is that really the case? Otto knew that those people in the east, people with a certain status, all lived in houses with wooden floors, and even slept on wooden boards. Did Rurik imitate them too?

Otto realized that he should have gone to see his son's masterpiece soon after landing. Too many things have delayed his formation, and now, before the tribal mass wedding at night, Otto feels that he still has a lot of free time.

Continue to dawdle the troops in the high priest's house. Because of the priests, no matter how incompetent they were, they had to personally preside over the evening ceremonies.

The mass wedding of the tribe is so important!

Villa secretly urged the big chief and Rurik to leave quickly after finishing the money. She said kindly: "Next, it's our priest's job. You still have important things to do, Rurik, please put your Rumia with me."

"Huh? Grandma, you want the wedding ceremony to let her..."

Villa's old face like a cracked earth twisted into a smile: "Yes, this is her destiny."

The fate of a new high priest, Rurik put Rumia here. He and his father left the priest's house and met those who were waiting outside.

"Chief, do you have any new orders?" Haruo Zuosen was speaking, and his face seemed a little anxious.

"Are you okay?" Otto asked.

"Something. My brothers and I are going to the beach market to buy some fish, and it's not too late. If..."

Otto waved his hand: "Brothers, you all go away and do what you want. Now I just want to be with my son."

With this order, Otto's cronies scattered.

Even as the chief of the clan, wandering freely in Roseburg, Otto did not need any cronies to serve as bodyguards. He now leaves ten men, who take turns to stand guard at the high priest's house. He took his son Rurik's hand, and the father and son disappeared into the lively crowd of the tribe.

Sometimes, walking like a father and son like this is also very warm!

Rurik looked up a little, and turned his eyes to his father's face. Otto's face was kind, and the two were walking in the direction of home.

"Dad, are you going to see those houses now?"

"Of course. I couldn't see at all last night, and now it's dawn, I'm going to see for myself those Novgorodian houses you made up."

Otto's words immediately reminded Rurik: "Oh, Dad, we still need to go to the blacksmith shop."

"What's the matter? To Clawson's?"

"Yes. Dad, I like the new servants you gave me so much that I ordered a batch of gifts for them.

I'm going to the smithy to get it. "

"Really? You're not going to make some silver jewelry anyway?"

"It's silver jewelry." Rurik said bluntly. "what do you think?"

Otto was stunned on the spot, and by bowing down, he put his hands on his son's shoulders: "Son, I don't object to you giving the servant some silver jewelry. But you... Are you still not satisfied with the silver jewelry from Rumia? If you have money, you can't squander it like this. You are too kind. Remember, you can give some high-level rewards to important servants, ordinary servants, and giving them daily food is a great favor."

"Ah? You thought I... no! It's just some small gifts." Rurik hurriedly changed the subject: "You're back, you should talk to the blacksmith too."

Otto released his hand: "You reminded me. Let's go! Let's see if the woman who married a Kawai adapts to our life here."

Father, he mentioned Lilia! He didn't mention the girl last night.

That's right, not only Lilia was not mentioned, but also the legendary Svetlana, whose father also didn't mention a word. Did he forget, or did he not intend to explain the situation now, or did these things not matter at all?

Rurik's little hand continued to be pulled by Otto, and the father and son walked through the crowd, and what they received was the compliments from the clansmen.

The whole Roseburg was lively and lively, and all the blacksmiths kept making sounds of forging.

With Kawhi's return, Kravason felt that not only did his production capacity fully recover, but with Kamne, a handyman, his work would become more efficient.

The blacksmith father and son, they were wearing sackcloth trousers and a protective leather waistcoat over their upper body. They didn't even wear shoes, and stood completely barefoot on the ground that had been swept gratefully, with Kravason holding the tongs to hold the sword embryo, and Kawhi wielding a sledgehammer to keep forging.

Blacksmiths "fight" in the fire!

Lilia, she had never seen such a warm scene. Not only that, but in the early morning, she had seen even more miraculous things.

Those Pokémon were punched with holes, they were nameplates made of gold and silver, and a twine was passed through the holes in each nameplate.

They are all necklaces! Some of the very beautiful necklaces are made by the father of his husband and his second father.

Lilia's little heart, she was proud that she could marry a blacksmith. She could not have imagined that this family possessed a unique skill!

She started working hard to learn the Varyag language, and starting today, she also pays attention to her husband's iron work.

Even if Lilia already knew that she must go back tonight to participate in the mass wedding ceremony of the Varyag people. For this ceremony, I need to be taught well by the second mother.

She is very concerned about blacksmithing, and it is best if she can learn it herself, and can make iron tools by herself and send them back to her hometown at the right time, so that the people in her hometown will become rich.

Lilia poured tea and water for her father and husband, and helped the two men clean up with a broom. And her eyes were always attracted by the hot sword embryo.

Unexpectedly, the swords of the Varyag people are all made like this? ! For example, the sword that the husband gave to his own brother was made like this?

The blacksmith family did not indulge in the indulgence of Sorgon's voyage, even if Kawhi got his share of the possessions.

Just as they were working on making swords, Otto and Rurik arrived without warning.

Otto raised his chest arrogantly. With the praise of the clansmen he had harvested along the way, he was very confident.

Now that he has come to the blacksmith shop, Otto needs an urgent explanation for the doubts in his heart.

The big chief's face was all too familiar to Karawasen. It was a face that looked old and had the breath of a king. And the sword inlaid with a huge ruby, which hung on the belt around his waist, was the treasure of the great chief.

After some polite greetings, Otto asked bluntly: "I heard that you have received wisdom from my son and have already started to make crystal cups?"

"It's a glass." Clavason emphasized and boasted: "I never thought I could make such a treasure, because of it, I have become very rich."

"Rich? A lot of money?!" Otto looked at the beating flames in the stove, and the dozen or so sword embryos that were scorched in the scorching charcoal, and couldn't help asking: "Since you are rich, continue to be a blacksmith. work? You can have fun.”

"Pleasure? No, I'm just a blacksmith. Oh, my great chief, for Rurik's sake, please don't ask me these strange questions. You know, I have a pact with Rurik, I don't Dare to commit betrayal, no matter how rich I become."

Clavasson's generous statement was not only to show his loyalty to Otto, but also to swear his dedication to Rurik.

He snapped his fingers, attracting the attention of Lilia, who was cleaning the floor.

"Lilia, bring all the nameplates hanging on the wooden pillars!"

The girl basically understood the "second father" calling her name, and through gestures, she understood the other party's intention.

The delicate soft hemp rope passed through the hole in the silver and gold nameplate. From the appearance alone, Lilia felt that the pendant in her hand was a real treasure. Not only because of the material it is made of, but also because the craftsman really did a good job of finishing it, so that the nameplate with the silver as the main body became extremely smooth.

Lilia knew that Rurik needed these things.

The fact that Rurik can stand with the big chief today is a full testament to his nobility.

Lilia has been fearful all her life, she wondered, I am afraid that only her sister, Svetlana, would not be afraid of the leader of the Ross people. I'm afraid, I'm not afraid of this Rurik at all.

She approached Rurik cautiously, "This is what you asked for, mine...my father did it well."

"You are doing very well." Rurik took all the nameplates and started checking them one by one in his hands.

Otto was surprised that his son could speak smoothly in the language of the Novgorods, and he was even more surprised when he saw what his son was playing with.

All the nameplates are Clavason polished, what a beautiful sheen that belongs to silver!

There is also the "pattern" in the center of the nameplate, which looks like a kind of text. After some inquiries, Otto knew, where are these decorations? The son actually prepared silver nameplates for each servant, and each servant's name was different. The so-called "patterns" are the letters of the Romans, which represent the abbreviations of the names of each maid.

Otto is not surprised that Clavasson does have excellent gem setting skills.

Since it's all here, Otto just wants to figure out, how did this Kravason create the so-called glass?

Otto, who has nothing to do with it, has become a spectator, or his job today is to make an inspection of the tribe, so that he can have a new understanding of the situation of the tribe.

For a moment, the ironing thing was put aside. After all, those sword embryos still need to be further carburized. Kawei simply used tongs to seal the iron furnace cover with only four ventilation holes. Kamne, the apprentice who was ordered to continuously operate the animal skin airbag blower, also Work stopped.

Taking advantage of the carburizing effort, Kawei and Kravason had to explain how to make a glass to the chief of the tribe in person.

"Okay! They're talking, how about the two of you? How do you feel when we are from Rus?" Rurik deliberately asked Kamne and Lilia who were gathered beside him.

Kamne was a little timid and cautious, but Lilia responded boldly: "My feeling is really strange."

"Strange? How strange?!"

"You guys would happily sleep on the ground. You would happily eat fish every day. Your life is full of leather."

"I can't say you, it's us!" Rurik stressed, "Remember, you are already a Russ."

Lilia, who felt that she said the wrong thing out of excitement, hurriedly admitted her mistake.

"No need." Rurik waved his right hand, "It's okay for you not to adapt, and you will gradually adapt to our life. However, I don't really like to sleep on a leather cushion on the floor all my life."

"Rurik, you... you really don't like it?" Lilia asked.

"Of course. I haven't been to your hometown, but my sister (meaning cousin) is your clan. Lilia, since you mentioned sleeping on the ground. You tell your husband to spend money to make a A house like yours. Don't worry, I think you know very well that your husband is a very rich young man."

Lilia's heart was beating wildly, her eyes widened: "Rurik, is this an order?"

"That's right! It's an order." Rurik, now too lazy to pretend, said in a Slavic language that no one could understand: "In my opinion, the houses in your hometown are very good. I don't want me The people of the tribe always sleep on the ground, we should learn from your experience of building houses, have a flat wooden floor, have a double wooden house with a moss interlayer, and have a real bed. I hope that the whole tribe's house will change, I just think the houses of the clansmen in your hometown are the best."

Hearing this, a strong sense of pride flooded into Lilia's heart.

She understood to some extent, it should be the woman who married before her manor, and Rurik learned the appearance of the White Tree Manor from them. Specifically, isn't Rurik referring to his home in his hometown? !

Rurik is the next big leader of the Rus people. Lilia feels that if this child can say such a thing, he will definitely value his family more than his father.

Now, she is fully aware that her father is kneeling at the feet of the Rus like a dog, which seems a bit humiliating, but is actually seeking a major benefit for her own people.

This is what the girl thinks in her heart, but her thoughts are a little superficial.

Rurik, Lilia, Kamne, the three of them stayed in a quiet corner, even though Kravassen had opened the closed furnace again, and began to cover up the glassware in Otto's exclamation, there was no interfere with their small talk.

Rurik still wanted to talk about the house with his two children from Novgorod.
