For an instant, Roseburg, which was supposed to have fallen into silence in the wind and snow, became lively, and people were everywhere happily calling for friends.
The people hiding in the warm homes put on thick clothes for the first time and rushed out of their homes. The boats had not washed the beach yet, and the men, women and children left by the tribe gathered at the pier and all the places near the sea.
Even the priest Veria, who predicted the safe return of the fleet, was supported by the lower priests and paced enthusiastically to a better position on the beach.
Villa, with her old and somewhat blurred eyes, saw a ship quickly approaching the beach covered with broken river pebbles, like seals, quickly entering a smooth road.
On the whole, due to the decline of Rome, the Franks did not inherit Roman shipbuilding technology. Instead, the Vikings magically inherited some, making their shipbuilding technology far superior to contemporary Europe.
There are also Viking stunts here. In the second half of the eighth century, their keel invention brought about a great change.
The long boats of the Ross tribe are all built around a huge oak keel. A large number of oak boat ribs are installed on the keel, and then the oak boards are nailed to the boat ribs. The gaps are glued with grease mixed with lime. In order to increase the strength, the ribs of the ship are arranged in staggered double-layer planks, and the middle is deliberately filled with animal skins to enhance water resistance and impact resistance. The planks are also solid oak.
Oak, the mankind started the era of great voyage, it is the most cost-effective wood, and it is also very easy to obtain for the Russians.
Relying on the very strong oak keel, the ship that washed up on the tidal flat left a deep mark. The ship has completely left the waters, and the warriors in the dust have jumped off the ship with their own equipment.
Those onlookers could no longer contain their excitement, they rushed towards the ship that arrived first, and they noticed amazing things one after another!
There are many warriors who are very young. They have just become strong. This time, under the leadership of the leader, they must have gained some insights.
Look at these young people. They did not leave after disembarking from the ship. Instead, they carried their shields on their backs and their swords on their waists.
They stretched out their arms to greet the man in thick leather who came down from the boat awkwardly. With some inadvertent negligence, the mysterious man's warm leather cap fell off, revealing a golden plait and a delicate face.
is a woman! It's a young woman! And there are many young women who need young warriors to personally take off the ship!
For a time, a large number of people of the tribe saw these scenes, and let the snowflakes continue to fall, and the people on the shore were already boiling.
Because the Ross tribe is a little older, it is very clear that the young boys of the tribe will never rashly be too close to young women. Their current attitude towards mysterious women fully illustrates one thing!
The distance is not very far, and the priest Veria, standing in a high open position, clearly sees that there are a group of young women from outside. Her heart begins to agitate. Her old body is not trembling enough, and her wrinkled face is also exposed. Smile.
"Great priest, are you excited?" a lower priest asked.
"Yes! Otto deserves to be our great leader. My children, we have to get ready tomorrow. In a few days, the tribe will hold a wedding for some young people at our stone boat altar!"
Boats docked one after another, and the identities of those women were also known to the people of the tribe.
Many people, they look at these Svig women from Novgorod with strange eyes. For decades, they have been the tribe of these women and have paid tribute to the Rus tribe with a lot of wealth. Finally this year, they actually began to take their own women as special tribute? !
But they are not servants who are used as envoys, but the wives of young tribesmen.
When they set foot on the territory of Roseburg, they naturally became the new Ross people, enjoying all the rights of being a member of the tribe.
For example, when the tribe starts to distribute the spoils, as a wife, you also get a share. If her husband dies, she will legally inherit all of her husband's property.
The real situation immediately spread throughout the tribe, and people began to preach the beauty of the Sweig girls, especially the other young boys of the tribe. They were full of curiosity about the girls, and they were also quite remorseful and hopeful about their status quo.
Young boys started to fantasize almost instinctively. After all, the clan is a place with many boys and girls. If you want to marry a wife, according to Scandinavian tradition, you must have personal wealth that can be obtained. To make a name in the fighting arena, at least let the tribe recognize that he is a brave and strong man.
But, really good men are rare.
For a long time, those tribal men who had difficulty in marrying wives either insisted on waiting, or rowed a long boat to rob women of other tribes, or left forever.
Lonely ships are difficult to looting, so many men would rather leave Roseburg.
Otto's reputation in the tribe is even more noticeable, because his actions bring new hope to the entire tribe. If you just search for some rough amber stones in the thin soil of the mountains, use them as a betrothal gift to Novgorod during the two-year Sorgon voyage, and marry your wife in a very peaceful way, why not do it.
The Ross tribe is a group of smart people. They are good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and accomplish their goals peacefully and at low cost. It is really happy for everyone.
So this winter is no longer normal. In the cold world of ice and snow, in the warm wooden houses, people's hearts are restless.
The boys who can grow into warriors long for beautiful wives in their hearts. Their parents see the hope of the smooth continuation of the family's blood. Those who are highly respected in the tribe, they clearly realize that the tribe will be stronger because of the rapid hope of the people.
When the day the ship docked, Rurik had been studying in Veria for several days and had a preliminary understanding of the Luen alphabet.
The training of the group of children cannot be put down, even if it has already started to snow, the training must continue before the snow and ice cover the ground.
Lurik’s last waiting days were very fulfilling. He was full of hope for the future ~www.novelhall.com~ until his father returned safely with the people who participated in the voyage.
The large number of treasures brought back were quickly distributed. As the leader, Otto naturally received a very generous portion.
Lurik also received a gift from his father-a pot of precious honey.
But this honey pouring has a bigger effect. Otto rewarded his son with this, and also made a clear order: "I will use him soon, and you are not allowed to eat more until then."
At the beginning, Rurik didn't know how useful honey was, and it was used on Frige Day a few days later.
But these are not things that surprise him as a "child"! Just because of his cousin Arik, he triumphantly brought back a beautiful girl.
A girl from Novgorod entered the big wooden house of the leader of the tribe. Sitting on the entire animal skin, Rurik, who was only seven years old, saw the girl's handsome face with wide eyes.
After all, Rurik’s effective body is hosting the soul named Liu Li. If you count the seven years in Roseburg, Rurik clearly understands that his mental age is as high as thirty-seven years old.
He is a child, his eyes widened today, and conscientiously said that this girl really fits her own aesthetics.
what! After all, the news has quickly worn the entire Roseburg!
My father went to the priest's big wooden house for the first time and told the priests and elders about his experience in the past forty days, so that after meeting his father at the dock, it was already night, and he was still declaring his duties! .
My mother heard a lot of news, and Lurik stayed in her house and realized that all the young women returning with the ship were from Novgorod.
In other words, the woman standing in front of him is the Svig from Novgorod, the purest Guslav in this time and space.
