Rise of Rurik

A leading warship sailed towards the bay.

One of Niya's maids rushed into the tent with an encouraging smile, "Niya, it's the leader! He's back with the men!"

"Ah! He's back?!"

At this moment, Liu Li, who fell into sleep because he was too poor, suddenly picked up his baby's body from the hanging basket.

He didn't cry like a normal baby in the slightest, so he was so frightened and piercing crying.

In a few days, Niya has become completely accustomed to the abnormality of his son, and the so-called abnormality is probably also the normality of this child.

She murmured, "Dear baby, you'll see your father soon. You don't even have a name yet, and your father told you to give you a nice name."

The swaddling Liu Li still stared at his big eyes. He didn't know what he was saying while hugging the wrinkled blond woman in his arms, but when he listened carefully, it sounded like English.

If they were a group of Vikings, their language must be Norse.

Although Liu Li is an engineering male, he is, after all, a man who was forced to pass the CET-6 test. At school he knew very well that an important source of English was the Norse language from the Scandinavian ethnic group.

Everything now is like a dream. Liu Li has no choice. He was taken to the pier by his biological mother as a baby.

At this moment, Liu Li widened his eyes that had just seen a little insight into the world, although because he was too young, his eyes were still a little blurry.

He at least saw clearly that this was a bay, and today a huge number of ships docked.

There are cheering people everywhere on the pier, just to welcome the huge fleet of ships to dock.

Niya looked around with the child in her arms, and she soon saw her husband, a handsome man with a huge beard.

In Nia's eyes, Otto was a great being, the bravest warrior and the trusted leader of the entire tribe.

Nia held the child in her left hand, tried her best to meet with her right hand, and even called out Otto's name.

However, her call has been drowned out in the cheers of the people.

Seeing the people in his hometown, Otto's tense nerves were completely relaxed. His expression became soothing, and when the boat approached the shoal, he was the first to jump off the boat and pulled the rope, borrowing the inertia of the boat, to force it to the ground.

A leading warship full of cargo was deliberately stranded, and then under the order of Otto, the work of moving the cargo was carried out at the first time.

The people of Roseburg happily went to check how many wonderful things the leader brought back, but on a warship, someone untied the sackcloth and saw the bodies of ten war dead.

Those who saw this scene, the surprised expression disappeared instantly.

They all knew the dead, because the dead were tribal warriors, and now lie in the cabin with mortal wounds.

The discovery of the dead soldier caused an uproar in the unloading yard!

At this moment, Otto, who landed, did not go to the elders' meeting hall of the tribe for the first time, but found his wife.

Otto had seen his wife long ago, and he had seen her swaddled baby.

The appearance of his wife has changed greatly, so it is his own child who is swaddled.

Otto stood in front of his wife excitedly. He ignored the orders of the rest of the tribe to come, but dragged his wife to a quiet place.

The Otto family stood on a small platform made of stones and stood here to have a panoramic view of most of the bay, and this was also the place where the two met privately when they were young.

Once upon a time, the young Otto was very lucky to get the heart of the beautiful Niya, and the marriage between the two was blessed by the elders.

But for Otto,

The greatest misfortune in his 40-year life was the accidental death of his two sons.

Of course, in Scandinavia in the ninth century AD, it was very difficult for people living in bitter cold places to survive a baby safely to adulthood.

Otto believes that he can win in the arena, and that the warriors who lead the tribe always win, all thanks to Odin's blessing. But he has no healthy offspring, maybe this is the price to pay?

Today, things seem to be changing.

Niya happily told her husband: "Dear Otto, this is our third son. Look at his blue eyes, how like you."

"Ah! This is my son!"

Otto was excited, took the child from his wife's hands tremblingly, and held him to the top of his head.

After all, this is his own son. At this moment, Otto completely forgot the pain of the arrow wound on his left arm, and continued to hold up his child happily, as if holding up the future of the tribe.

At this moment, Liu Li stared wide-eyed, and saw this blond strong man wearing a typical Viking helmet and exuding the smell of sweat in front of him, he was actually the biological father of his own plane?

Liu Li stared at the man's vicissitudes of life face, not crying or making trouble, also surprised Otto.

"Hey! Nia, is that what our baby is like? He didn't cry at all!"

"Yes! He is very special." Nia said impatiently about the female elder: "Our grandmother Willia, she is the wisest woman in our tribe. The night I gave birth to this child, Granny Veria had a strange dream. She must have received a revelation from Odin, and she told me that the son of the chief of Ross will be blessed and will lead us to prosperity."

"Ah?!" Hearing these words, Otto's eyes suddenly changed when he saw his child.

Those round and cute blue eyes staring at him are no longer cute, and even that is Odin's use of this child's eyes to gain insight into himself.

Continuing to hold the child high, Otto hesitated for a while, and finally muttered to the child: "My son, can you really inherit my career and give the tribe prosperity?!"

At this moment, Liu Li knew that he did not have the ability to speak, and his vocal cords were too immature. He could only make a hum ah ah, and he didn't know what the man who was holding him said, from the feeling, it was some doubtful words.

Liu Li subconsciously made two humming noises with a blank face. It was the so-called humming sound, which made the Otto couple tremble.

In the eyes of both of them, the child's answer was clearly an affirmative answer.

Nia stared at Otto with wide eyes: "He responded to you."

"I have learned!"

Otto slowly put down the child and looked at his lovely Niya: "We must raise him. This child must become the leader of the tribe in the future."

Niya nodded: "The elders already know about this, and they have all admitted that this child is not an ordinary person. Now there is only one question, please give him a name!"

"The elder hasn't named him yet?" Otto asked in surprise.

"How could it be? You are the leader of the tribe, this is your child, and only you can give him a proper name."

Otto nodded, he thought for a while, and a name came to mind: "Just call him Rurik."

"Oh? Why Rurik?"

"Rurik, to be rich again. Also because his brother, Ogier's son, is called Aric. The names of the two children are very similar. From now on, dear Nia, you will be Aric's son. mother."

"You..." Facing her husband's sharp eyes and serious face, Niya suddenly understood another meaning here.

"Otto, is it Ogier he."

"He died." Otto said without changing his face.

"Oh! No! He's your brother."

"But there are always inevitable battles." Otto sighed and tried to cheer up: "He died, maybe we don't need to be too sad. He told us all as he was dying that he saw Brunshy. Erte beckoned. He has been recognized by the Valkyries, and perhaps Ogier has now become the hero of Valhalla. Now, at least I have brought Ogier's body back."

"You...we'll bury him properly. In the tribal cemetery."

"Yes!" Otto held his Rurik in his arms and looked at Niya tenderly: "Ogier will be buried underground with his share of wealth, and his heroic spirit is in Valhalla. For Arik, From now on, he is our son."
