Rise of Rurik

Chapter 74: Memories of the Priest

Returning, Otto greeted the cheering crowd while also asking them to get out of the way.

On the other hand, in the huge priest's wooden house, Priest Veria stayed indoors calmly, because she knew that her fragile body should not be exposed to the cold outdoors at will, even if she was wearing thick leather clothes.

She already knew that the leader, Otto, returned in victory with a large number of deer, and the messenger who came quickly to let her know that the leader had gone far away this time, and also grabbed a lot of wealth from the deer breeders.

The wealth of wealth made the accompanying young people excited, but Villa was not so happy.

She is too old, and the only thing that can make her happy is that her body can continue to maintain.

She couldn't be more aware of her physical condition.

Villa even had a hunch that his life would come to an end in two or three years.

People are mortal, and about the rare case of the leader who robbed the distant deer breeder, Villa quietly recalled himself when he was young.

Those past events, although they were all personally experienced by them, are now so distorted in recall, as if they happened in a dream.

Villa, her old age has become a little difficult to use her mind, and sometimes she regards dreams as reality.

She worships Odin devoutly, and prays silently every day that she can become a Valkyrie after her death, even if she is the lowest servant of Valhalla.

If her dream came true, she would not hesitate to bring Otto's dead soul to Valhalla as a Valkyrie.

The more she thought about it, the more dreams she could always dream of, and the wonderful dreams deepened her faith.

Recalling my childhood experiences, too many things have been forgotten.

She has forgotten the faces of her parents, and many of her childhood friends have passed away, and recalling the past, she can only remember things that stimulate the spirit.

For example, his father promised himself to his husband because of the benefits of some coins. Unexpectedly, the result was a miscarriage, and he simply survived. And the poor husband also died in the wilderness one year, probably attacked by wild animals.

Of course, it is also possible that they were deliberately attacked by those deer keepers.

Because of Roseburg, it was originally the home of deer breeders.

The Ross tribe robbed the fjords, which had iron and copper mines and some animals, from those people.

At that time, she was very young, and she had forgotten why the war started, but does war need a real reason?

Deer breeders are not allies, at best botched trading partners. Therefore, the so-called trade relationship can be easily torn up, and any clan of the thinking subtype can go to war against the deer breeders without any sanctions.

Recalling the past, young feet wandered among the ruins of collapsed tents, their own tribesmen cleaned up the bodies of the dead, and some tribesmen ate barbecued meat around the bonfire.

Many places are on fire, and after the flames are extinguished, the tribe builds new settlements in the fjords abandoned by the fleeing deer farmers. In a flash, the young children are dying.

Just as Villa was reminiscing about the past, the noise outside finally pulled her mind back.

Suddenly, the drooping leather door curtain was lifted, and a strong bearded man stepped forward with a glorious face.

"Ah! Great priest, I am Otto, I am back."

"I know you're back!"

Seeing this shaggy man with a shaggy beard,

Willia is really kind. Otto was Willia's ally. Seeing Otto in front of her from the memories just now, she couldn't help but think that if her aborted child was born smoothly, she would probably be the same age as Otto.

Thinking of this, she is even more kind to Otto.

Such is life, and the safe birth of a child is a miracle.

Besides, all tribes have a bad tradition that every family worships those warlike gods, so everyone prefers sons. In addition to belief, they need a male to inherit the family business.

But very limited resources can only be given to a small number of offspring, and many baby girls are thrown into the forest just after birth.

Only the strongest or the eldest son in the family can inherit the family business, and the weak must move when they grow up, and they will not inherit a copper coin.

Even so, there are many women who are already small in number who cannot overcome the hurdle of fertility.

Men who live to adulthood, without the burden of childbearing, always go on wild adventures for wealth.

Just like this Otto's adventure, if they get lost, or need more terrifying enemies, or even enter the edge of the human world and fall into the unknown area under the world tree, everything is full of terrifying variables, which will cause everyone die.

Willia's efforts to keep calm were still suppressed by her willpower, but she had already become talkative, and hurriedly slapped the leather cushion beside her.

"Come here! Tell me what you've been through!"

"Okay priest, maybe these things should wait until all the elders come..."

"You don't have to wait for those guys." Villa said and wanted to stand up, and the low-level priests immediately surrounded him, helped him up, and handed over her jeweled wooden staff.

She continued muttering: "You are the leader, the elders are just a little older than you, but those guys are already too old. Do you still listen to those people? They should listen to you. You are our leader. !"

Otto thought about it, she was right.

The so-called elders are the older men in the tribe. Of course, they were brave and good at fighting when they were young. As they get older, the whole person is gradually slack.

It can't be said that this kind of slack is a wrong behavior. If you are not the leader, you will definitely become the same as them doing the most ordinary things, waiting for the end of life, like an iron sword that slowly rusts and finally breaks, in that case. , it is impossible for him to have a strong physical strength to carry out this protracted expedition.

However, Otto had a lot to say to the priest. The most important thing was the details of the attack on the deer farmer's camp, and the great exploration of the unknown world in the northeast by the tribe.

The important information obtained by the adventure needs to be informed to the priest. Otto is very clear that after Vilia gets the information, he will definitely send someone to engrave it on the wooden board in rune script.

Regardless of whether the clansmen are willing to learn or not, even the planks can be damaged. But the group of priests will always build good wooden boards so that the information can be passed on, so that when the clansmen finally get enlightened and want to know everyone's past history, everything is recorded on the wooden boards.

At least another "good scholar" has appeared, and he is now obscured by his large torso.

Otto, dressed in sheepskin and his own iron helmet, held the hilt of his sword hanging from his belt, still clinking as he walked in the sacrificial hut.

The image of a samurai is vividly revealed, and those junior priests who are not very old look at the heroic appearance of their leader, I am afraid that Odin should be such an image.

Otto walked to Vilia in such a heroic manner, and he knew that the old priest liked to see himself like this.

Soon, the lower priests, whose eyes were all focused on Otto, aimed at the leather door curtain that was pulled open.

I saw a little boy with a ponytail stepping in forcefully, and he entered the warm room, only to see another girl dragged in by his immature hands.
