Rise of Rurik - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Gould recognized the tattoo




The ship is docked!

Because of their physical stamina, Carlota and Ella have the strength to move around. Just what they are now, two little beggars alive and well.

According to the rules set by the gold master, all newly picked beggars need to be purified.

The so-called purification is to pull them into a special wooden hut, take off their broken clothes and burn them on fire, thoroughly remove lice and fleas, and then give them a simple and decent cloth.

Their bodies will be cleaned up, and they will be thoroughly cleaned by using soap engraved with "RUS" according to local conditions.

Soap is indeed a good thing. Don't say that the gold master relies on this to make a fortune. The brothers really enjoy the blessing of the gold master. Everyone uses it to cleanse their bodies every day.

During this time, Jeflo experienced an unprecedented sense of cleanliness, presumably those who picked it up and bought it were also very happy.

It is these two children who are different.

Evlo returned early today, and he intends to inform his funder of the matter in advance.

It is also said that he is the most respected by Gould. No, Jeflo broke into Gould's chamber alone and saw the gold master who was negotiating with the merchant.

Yevlo stood aside very wisely, waiting for the funder to finish the matter.

Gould also saw the sudden return of his mercenary captain. Seeing his appearance, he must have heard some important news in the market.

He ended the business quickly. After negotiating the price, he threw all the matters of delivery and collection to his eldest son Snoreva. After that, he gave a wink at Yevlo, who had something to report.

In a separate room, Gould sat leisurely on a leather cushion.

He waved his hand and motioned to the intimate Jeflo to sit down and talk.

"You came back so early and found something new in the market? So, you hurried back to report it? Maybe you can report my name and invite the merchant to me. I will buy goods at a high price."

"Yes, my lord, if it is a businessman, there are precious treasures." Yevlo responded.

"Oh? Not so? What is it? Did you bring back a lot of people from that slave market?"

"No. My lord, there are only two children."

"Two children?" Gould squinted immediately. "Two very special children? You would never make a joke to me."

"It's true, my lord! Please forgive my recklessness. I obeyed those two children. They were two girls who claimed to be from Ostara in the south."

Ostara? In the past few days, Gould did hear that the tribe was destroyed by the Danes. The news reached Mälaren, but the tragedy was passed, causing the people of Mälaren to suddenly take vigilance.

"Ostala? The news now says that the tribe was completely destroyed, the Danes didn't even leave a living, and finally burned the house."

"This is what I suspect, my lord. Because of the two children, they claim to be..."

"What is it?"

"Yes, the granddaughter of the leader. Moreover, it is the last survivor of that leader's family."

"Really?! Where are they?!" Gould stood up suddenly, the fat on his face trembling.

"They are outdoors, and the brothers are watching them."

"Quick! Let them see me."

"This...sir, do you also refresh their rhetoric?"

Gould shook his head vigorously: "Why don't you believe it? Ordinary children don't have such an excuse in their heads. Go and bring people."

"Yes!"

As Gould and Jeflo were talking, the two girls had been hanging out outdoors.

An island controlled by a merchant? Carlota and Ella had good eyesight. At this time, the sun was shining and the fog on the lake surface had long dissipated. When they looked far away, they not only saw a large number of sailing boats on the sparkling lake, but also the liveliness in the distance. Bazaar.

Compared to the market, this island is also very lively.

Carlota saw that some people dressed as obvious merchants greeted and moved some wooden boxes to his boat. There are also some goods that are obvious-animal fur.

Some poorly dressed but decent women are also helping with the work, and even some girls of their own age are dragging the rope.

With a keen sense of smell, she smelled the disturbing breath in the air, which seemed to be a kind of stench.

Someone gave two children a small piece of hard bread. They were like squirrels, gnawing a little bit with their mouths open.

And this is also the serious food they have eaten in a month.

Jeflo appeared suddenly, and he dragged the two children into the room where Gould was waiting.

The two people who didn't know what happened, suddenly appeared in front of Gould.

"Are these two kids? Jeflo?"

"Exactly, my lord!"

"Huh? It looks really filthy! It's like a mink that fell into a mud puddle."

Upon hearing this comment, Carlota, who had recovered a certain amount of physical strength, immediately refuted: "We are not dirty! We Aostala people have always been upright and honest! You are dirty, your confidant wears snow-white mink, and your heart is full It's mud!"

Now, Yevlo burst into anger. He immediately covered the girl's head with his left hand, pinched her neck with his right hand, and said viciously: "Don't talk harshly to my master."

In this regard, Carlotta was also taken aback.

Is Gould angry? To be honest, I was a little angry.

However, this cursing actually came from a dirty child, and the cursing was quite level. Obviously, if she were a child of ordinary people, she might be a timid shrunken ball now, and she could be seen as a gorgeously dressed person. It should be shivering instinctively.

This child, she has seen the world!

Gould looked at the other child again. Although they were dirty, they seemed to be generous when they stood there.

"Well, I'm not angry. A poor ferret fell into a mud puddle. Just wash it. It's a white furry baby. I think you two need to be cleaned once. I'm happy to send my maid. Help you guys."

"Oh, thank you...sir." Carlotta said politely.

Gould nodded and continued: "I heard that you two are the daughters of Chief Ostara?"

"No. It's the granddaughter." Carlotta pointedly corrected.

"Really? How can I trust you?"

"I don't need to convince you, my lord. No matter where we go, we are all like this. This is our destiny."

Hearing this, Gould a little admired. "Yes, a noble person is noble in his heart. Even if you lose your property, you have not lost your soul. I am willing to believe in your identity, but I still hope you can mention some tokens. Boy, don't look at me. As fat as a seal in winter, I know a little bit about you. What is your name?"

"I'm Carlotta, and my sister is Ella."

"Nice name. Carlotta, come here. Stand in front of me with your back facing me."

Carlota immediately became cautious: "What do you want to do?"

"Oh? Are you afraid that I would eat you? Am I a bear? Just come over, I want to verify one thing."

Hearing Gould's order Carlotta came over, she was very surprised to be ordered to open her dirty hair braids by the businessman, as if this person understood everything.

Because the girl's neck was always covered with hair, the place was very clean, and the "little bull's head" tattoo on it instantly explained everything.

Gould suppressed the excitement in his heart, he made the girl stand back, then raised his head to think of some past events.

"It is indeed the descendant of the leader. I know the beauty of your family, and I recognize your tattoos."

Carlota was taken aback: "Businessman, do you know us?"

"Of course. I was a young man at the time, and my father ordered me to do business in the South. Your leader was called Staf, and he was also a young man at that time. I bought your cowhide and sheepskin, but then I didn’t do it. This business is here. But I know one of your traditions.” With that, Gould deliberately stroked his neck: “Every member of your chief family has family tattoos on their neck or back. You guys. Ordinary people of the tribe cannot enjoy this privilege."

At this moment, Carlotta and Ella are already in tears...

Indeed in Nordic society, tattoos and tattoos also symbolize a person's status. Many fighters will pierce words or patterns on their bodies to show their bravery. As for the nobles in the tribe, they exclusively enjoy some special peculiarities, and only the core members of the family enjoy it.

If it hadn't been for the injury on his leg, Carlotta had already knelt on the ground. She muttered: "My lord, I don't think you know us so well."

"It's a miracle to meet you." Gould turned his face to Jeflo: "This time, you really brought me an incredible treasure. I guess the Russians will be very happy."

Gould also noticed Carlotta's leg injury and couldn't help but say: "Carrotta, it looks like your injury is very serious."

"I don't care, I have endured all these days."

"No." Gould saw the girl's leg injury at a glance. "I still have many things to ask you. It seems that now you need to eat something and take a hot bath. Don't worry, children, you will be protected by me. In the future, there will be more noble people taking shelter for you. ."

In this way, Carlota and Ella, the two were led to a dark room by four women dressed very conservatively.

The so-called "dark room" is actually a bathhouse with wooden floors.

As a businessman, after having money, what you want is to live a life that is far superior to ordinary people. With these, some business talents may pursue greater power.

The Gould family heard about the sauna invented by the Finnish tribe for a long time, so that his mercenaries from Finland described in detail to the owner how to build a steam room.

When he arrived at the eldest son Snoreva, the family sauna became a normal winter enjoyment.

But who would have thought that it was this kind of enjoyment, long-term immersion in the hot steam, which is really unfriendly to men, and this is precisely the important reason why Snoreva gave birth to two daughters. Snoreva is lucky. If he pursues the "hot" steam body feeling, he can only be angry with his wife as a "hen who can't lay eggs", but he is actually just being scalded by steam and turned into waste.

Of course, there is also a huge wooden barrel for bathing. Its size is large enough for the fat Gould to spit bubbles in it like a real elephant seal.

Now that there are two soaps from Rose, bathing suddenly becomes magical.

So much soap that has arrived is indeed profitable, and the Gould family is not so stupid that they don't have to put good things on them.

Now, Carlota and Ella, they have begun a bathing experience like the underworld.

Some wooden basins are filled with hot water continuously, and some basins filled with hot water are prepared.

The maids who have lived on the island of Gould for a long time are long-term hired workers. They do all kinds of handyman. Of course, their age is really not young, because there is no beauty, the actual owner of the island, Snoreva No interest in them.

Although they are a group of old mothers, it is precisely this kind of people who do handyman duties to save the gold master.

Gould, the biggest benefactor, said that he should cover the child's body with sulfur soap and wash the child's hair vigorously, but be careful not to damage the child's wound.

That's how he confessed, and Carlotta, who was still weak, was a helpless chicken.

The maids all know that they are taking care of the bath of a certain tribe's eldest lady, but they just didn't expect them to be so dirty!

Carlota and Ella, their braids were completely stretched out, but their golden hair was too sticky.

They were poured with hot water from the beginning no less than ten times, and the dark hot water ran down the cracks in the wooden floor of the sauna and into the sand-filled ground.

At the same time, their bodies, which have become too slender due to chronic hunger, are constantly being rubbed by linen cloth. The maids only hope to take away the mud from them as soon as possible.

Finally, a tuft of yellow-white masses exuding a strange smell appeared!

I have to say that the mass-produced sulfur soap produced by Rurik is so affordable that customers rub their hands on the soap with small bubbles and smear them on their bodies.

Gould uses a knife to cut the soap into small pieces so that the family can use it comfortably.

The maids do the same.

"What are you doing to me? It smells so so smelly! Woman, don't use this smelly thing from the underworld..."

Carlotta said so, the maid was just bored at work.

After saying a lot of words, Carlotta still couldn't get rid of the result of being slippery.

"Sister, what's going on! How come I am slippery all over."

"Ella, you can bear it again. I don't know what they are doing to me."

"But I dare not open my eyes! I have some eye pain."

At the beginning, these maids were also shocked by the magical experience of sulfur soap. The sticky and slippery feeling in their hands was really incredible. This feeling is not something that can be described by being covered with grease. After rinsing in the water, the hands were extremely clean, and there was not even any remaining dirt, and even the crevices of the fingernails were clean.

Using it to wash their hair, these old women have a refreshing feeling that is simply unimaginable in this life.

Because ~www.novelhall.com~ their scalp has also become dry and firm.

Carlotta began to exude a smell of sulfur, and she even felt that the merchant was afraid that he had gotten into a certain cave, and as a result, he got some weird things from the underworld. She didn't dare to ask more, because she was full of these sticky things, and she barely opened her eyes, as if the pain of the needle irritating the eyes.

Until a lot of water was poured on the two girls from head to leg.

Carlota was thoroughly washed, and the dirty dirt disappeared.

She felt her skin tighten, her small face was tight, and her hair was extremely dry.

Through the gaps in the wooden windows, she could see her hands clearly, as well as her white nails.

"The dirt? All gone?!"

She was surprised that she had forgotten the pain in her knees. What was very bad was that even though she was wiped clean and put on neat linen clothes, the stench still lingered.

The two children have gone out of the bath, and there is no beauty, because only after washing them can he really understand the weight loss of the two and their ill-conditioned faces.
