Rise of Rurik

Rurik has also seen reindeer, such as the five deer sacrificed at a sacrifice more than a month ago.

In the tribe, every deer is very valuable.

He never imagined that his father Otto not only showed the deer, but also told himself that these deer were his own property.

Rurik knew that this was a great wealth, and he asked curiously, "Dad, you hunted all the deer? Do these deer listen to you at ease?"

"I have no such ability!" At this moment, Otto felt that it was necessary for him to show his great achievements to his wife and children.

Otto waved his arms and gestured, his face glowing with enthusiasm.

"We defeated a group of deer breeders, so we got so many deer."

Niya happily celebrated: "Ah! You have won again, I have just heard that this time we didn't even get hurt."

"Of course! Brothers follow me from one victory to another!"

Otto's words Rurik sounded like a slow conceit, but they did win.

The so-called deer breeders, of course, have nothing to do with their own tribe. Although Rurik was young, he had already received a lot of information from the priests. Coupled with the many histories he knew innately, the deer breeders are the Sami people of later generations!

The Ross tribe robbed other people's property by robbery, and Rurik didn't feel very happy in his heart.

He was simply a criminal act, but looking at the people he saw, everyone's faces were filled with joy.

While Rurik was still looking around, he was suddenly picked up by his father: "Let's go, my child. I brought you a special gift."

"A gift?"

"Yes! A nice gift."

What can a gift be? Is it a toy?

Rurik was held by his father and moved to his father's sheltered snow nest. With his wide eyes open, he was surprised to see that in this snow nest, in addition to his father's tent, there was a person tightly wrapped in animal skins.

Lying in the snow nest was a man of short stature, and the dim light obscured the details of his face. Even so, Rurik could tell that this man was not an adult.

That's a child!

"Look at Rurik." Otto put down his son and said happily with a big hand: "This is a deer breeder, a girl, and she will be your servant from now on."

"Ah? What?!"

"Son, this is your servant! It's your father's gift to you, understand?"

"I……"

Rurik's eyes widened, he completely understood his father's words, and clearly realized that the so-called gift was a servant.

This situation also surprised Niya, she grabbed her husband's arm and asked, "Where did you capture this woman, is it a deer breeder?"

"She is a deer breeder. Originally we captured many people, but in the end only this child survived." Speaking of this, Otto couldn't help looking up at the northern lights in the sky and sighed, then looked at his old wife, "Listen to Yes, this is the will of the Valkyrie. All the other deer keepers froze to death, only this child survived. The Valkyrie ordered this girl to be our son's servant."

Maybe the long time her husband left, they really had an amazing adventure in the extreme north.

"Our son's servant? She looks like a fur-covered bear. How old is she?"

"It's a child." Otto muttered regretfully, "it's too young to do any work."

"That's okay, since it's Rurik's servant, that's mine. It's better if she's a girl, we'll take her back, I'll give her something to eat, she'll sew me hides and linen, it's not Is it fine?"

Niya has entered the state for the first time,

She clearly understands that once there is a helper at home, life will definitely become more comfortable.

"You just want a helper?" Otto shook his head. "We have a lot of deer now. I don't want to keep deer herds. This girl will keep them for us. But I have promised Rurik, she is my son's. Servant. We need to take Rurik's advice about this girl."

"But he's only seven years old."

"That is the order of the Valkyrie. Forgive this girl from dying. She is destined to be our son's servant, Nia, you must not disobey the order of the gods."

Hearing such a warning, Nia stopped talking.

Otto patted the dazed Rurik's young shoulder. In fact, just now, the two children had been staring at each other for a long time.

"Rurik, do you understand?"

"what? What?"

"This is your servant." Otto continued pointing.

"Yes! I understand..."

"Oh? You don't look happy. Do you think I gave you a bad gift?! Listen to my child, you are the one blessed by Odin, this time I have some adventures in the far north, Odin Ding sent the Valkyrie to give you a servant. Everything is her destiny and yours. Child, you must accept this servant."

"I...I will."

Rurik, complicated inside.

Because in his heart, there is no concept of hierarchy and inferiority in his heart.

The reality is too primitive. In this wild era, the entire world has not been nurtured and transformed by the Enlightenment. People all over the world generally agree that human beings are hierarchical.

Especially in Europe, prisoners of war and slaves did not have human rights, and even more extreme, even in the more civilized Eastern Rome, only the adult men who lived in the city had real fair rights.

Other than that, they are like items marked with value.

Rurik, his concept is naturally very different from others, facing his so-called servant, he only thinks that the world is so absurd.

But this is indeed a fact. As the only son of the leader, he actually has more power than the clan, and it is normal to have servants.

Rurik took a deep breath, and tentatively took a few steps forward, his eyes never leaving the girl's face.

The girl's face looked very immature, and she was obviously in prison, but the girl did not show any fear at all.

She had a sluggish look, her whole body was tightly wrapped in animal skins, as if only the blink of an eye would prove that she was still alive, not a piece of ice that was frozen hard.

Just in terms of mental age, Rurik was not much younger than Otto. With a young body of seven years old, the boarding soul was almost forty years old.

He walked over to the girl who was lying down, and when his tender little hand touched the fur, the girl suddenly said a lot of incomprehensible words.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Why don't you stand up because you're afraid? I'm a kid too, you don't have to be afraid of me."

Rurik also mumbled a lot in Old Norse, and he slowly lifted the hides, and soon understood why the girl couldn't stand up.

I have to say that her father Otto did give the girl a good warmth. She was in a "sleeping bag" made of double-layered deerskin, and she was perfectly able to withstand the cold.

It was because the wrapping was so tight that she really couldn't stand up.
