Since Rurik's birth, the series of auras inherent in him have caused the traditional mode of the Rus tribe to select the strongest leader as the leader through a contest, and it collapsed in an instant.
Yes, who would refuse "son of god" to lead everyone to become rich and strong? Judging from the current situation, the entire tribe is undergoing positive changes.
The most humble people who had been forced to depend on the powerful tribesmen, they began to receive the favor of the chief family as never before, and they became powerful fans of Rurik.
The tradition of selecting chiefs in battles has lost its existence, and the Rus tribe began to realize hereditary system in the Rurik generation.
Many tribes in the alliance have completed this transformation. Those families that have been in power for a long time, of course, do not rely on the buff of mysticism. What they rely on is the powerful economic ability, through the control of the economic lifeline of the entire tribe, such as becoming The biggest landlord is a hereditary power.
But in the Melaren tribe, the most populous and strongest, Olekin's family did not really control the supreme power.
There are many wealthy people in the tribe, and they are all big landlords who own a large number of fields, boats, and even cattle and sheep.
There are a large number of tenant farmers and serfs around them, and they also rely on this financial power to support a group of private soldiers.
As usual, they have to pay a tribute to the leader Olegin every year. Of course, for them, the so-called tribute is a symbolic piece of wheat. The tribute is more like taking a form, the so-called many wealthy landlords act in this way to swear loyalty to the leader.
At least in the area of Olegin, he has huge financial resources and private soldiers, which can ensure the stability of the family power and the political ecology within the Mellaren tribe.
What about the next generation?
The eldest son, Carl, is really a natural and noble man. He has a high self-esteem, and he has never failed to compete with others with weapons in his hand.
Olekin was a strong man when he was young, and he had the last laugh in the struggle within the family. However, in his own life, there is only one son Karl. Therefore, he named his only son "Carl", which also means "strong man".
Olekin married several wives and only got one daughter after another. Unlike his own failed brothers, there are a large number of nephews, Olekin can hardly feel their cuteness, these boys grow up one by one, all eyeing their own power.
To control power, we really can only rely on the eldest son's personal ability.
The young Carl is very young and strong. When he started to grow his beard, he was deliberately guided by his father to approach the female sex, in order to make the family members prosper as soon as possible.
A few years later, when Karl had grown into an extraordinary warrior, Olekin finally got his wish and had his grandchildren, but he is still a granddaughter...
Only the strong men among men can inherit the identity of their leader. For the benefit of the family, Carl gradually indulges in female sex.
It was like the rude sprinkling of grain from the Mellaren people, and Karl was doing the same. Finally, in the past few years, Olegin had his own grandchildren one after another.
A brightly dressed and very tall and strong young man, he temporarily suspended his free time and returned to the ruling core of the leader of Mellaren, in the castle surrounded by thick wooden walls.
He is Carl. At the age of 30, he cut his hair from his temples with a knife, only a slip from the top to the back of his head, which was carefully braided. He has an alienated Moxican hairstyle, and his deliberately cut short beard makes his mental outlook full of competence and man's strength.
A large number of Mellaren landlords knew they could not have the power of the leader. In order to maximize the interests of the family, they had to deliberately have an affair with Karl, and it is best to give birth to a boy, so that from Karl, who is likely to become the next leader, rely on his grandson. Relationship gets a share.
It can be said that each has its own needs.
Carl returned rarely, Olekin didn't mean to blame, and some just welcomed his son.
It is rare for the father and son to sit down and talk together without the interference of a third person, but Carlton's mood is not good.
"Father, do you mean that Rurik is coming? A child who is so silly that you are admiring him when you see him, and you actually want to interfere in my life."
"Oh. That Rurik is said to have been blessed by Odin. In recent years, the mysterious Ross people have become very active, and I have to beware of them."
Carl was very disdainful: "Could you be afraid of them?"
"Fear? Bah!" Olekin's anger suddenly rose: "In the alliance, I don't allow anyone to threaten the power of our family."
"Don't you think that Rurik is a threat?"
"It's just the rumors and the information sent to me by the spies, so I have to be cautious."
The father put on a scheming face, which Carl thought was boring. "The agent told me everything, but the boy is strange, and the Ross people are also strange. They are training the kids and they have made some very good weapons. What can this say? A threat?"
"I'm afraid it's a threat." Olekin shook his head with his mouth sullen.
"I don't think it is necessary. No one can challenge our power."
"At least it was okay in my rule, but you! When you are a leader, you must beware of the Ross people, their ambitions are no worse than you."
The threatening tone of his father really made Karl uncomfortable. He grabbed the knife in his hand and said viciously: "He will come tomorrow and come well. Then kill him to avoid future troubles."
Olekin was shocked by the words of the eldest son. He guessed that just because the eldest son was slightly frivolous and self-respecting, it was really possible to cause misfortune regardless of the overall situation.
"That won't work! If he really didn't know that he died here in vain, he would be enmity with the Rus. By then, the other tribes will not trust us, and they will feel that they will encounter a conspiracy when they go to the meeting."
"So what? Is there something stronger than us? We Mellaren don't need any outsiders."
"You!" The son actually snarled at himself? ! When Olekin thought of something, he slapped the table with anger: "Stupid! Our ancestors forced the Gotland to withdraw from the alliance, and now they have become the hounds of the Danes. Do you want more allies to withdraw from the alliance? Enemy with us? Now the Rus are frequently attacking the Gotland and the Danes, and I did not seize the opportunity to rescue the Ostrala crisis. Many tribes are resenting me, and many tribes are admiring the Rus. Otto, and you, actually want to kill Otto's son."
"If you don't save the Ostras, it was your mistake! If I were the leader, I would have organized an army to fight back." Karl could not control his emotions and directly confronted his father.
"But if we do that, we have to fight the Danes, and we will suffer heavy losses. The other tribes watched from the sidelines, and in the end it was our Mellaren who lost the most. Do you think I don't want revenge?" Olekin tried his best to explain what he thought was power, but In Carl's view, it is really reasonable for the world to scold him for not being authentic.
Carl shrugged: "Then I will meet Rurik tomorrow to see what the so-called son of Odin is."
Hearing the eldest son's disrespect, Olekin was a little afraid: "We should show respect, at least we have to respect the great **** Odin. Maybe that child really got the favor."
"Forget it. I think it's useful to sell food in exchange for a lot of silver coins. Since the Ross people have brought a lot of money, we will make a deal with them. It doesn't matter what Odin's son or Odin blesses."
What could Olekin say about this? The only thing he felt gratified was that when the eldest son was among a group of women, he not only kept his body strong miraculously, but also looked at some issues pragmatically.
Yes, getting money now is the last word. The Ostara tribe was destroyed, and Olekin was burdened with a reputation for despair. He consciously needed a victory to reshape his authority. The war required the Mellaren to lead the battle, so in order to have a greater chance of winning, he You need to get money by various means, and you are using it to replace your army with better swords and shields.
When Olekin wanted the businessman Gould to reveal his aspirations, he never expected the Ruths to react so quickly. The Roth came with a huge amount of silver coins, and he already had a plan in mind to get the money.
The appointed day has arrived.
Early in the morning, Rurik put on his costume. He was wearing a coat stitched with mink fur, a tight leather wrapped with gold threads bound his waist, and a dagger and a dagger hung on the belt as usual. He deliberately put on a necklace made of amber and glass beads to show them openly. A snow fox fur is worn on the top of his head, and the fluffy fox tail is placed behind his head, echoing his golden ponytail.
He is a beautiful boy, his gorgeous clothes show power and wealth, and his firm eyes make people who meet him for the first time feel that this child is extraordinary.
This time, Kawei also rarely changed into Gould's tailor-made clothes. He felt that he was no longer a warrior fighting for life, but a businessman. Wearing this set is obviously Gould's gorgeous coat for his sons who are about to reach adulthood, Arik's mentality is really contradictory.
If possible, he would rather change into a leather armor inlaid with gold and silver, put on a helmet riveted with copper, and spin his two swords to meet with the lord.
Of course, Arik is also eager for wealth. He is eager to express himself with beautiful things. It is best to keep his martial arts and his colorful clothes, so that he can let his opponent know that he is a unique and ruthless character while standing in front of the battlefield.
"It's strange, I am a soldier, not a businessman. Now I think I am your son."
Gould sighed secretly in his heart, wishing that one of his sons could have even one-tenth of Arik's martial power. He smiled and said: "The servant will help you get your clothes dressed. My hero, I am sorry to wrong you today. Just play as a businessman."
"Hey, I'm just worried that after changing into clothes, that guy won't recognize me."
"Olekin's best not to pursue the matter of the previous few days. But I still have to apologize." Gould continued to exhort, "We are not going to seek revenge and provocation this time, but to implement what we negotiated."
I heard that Arik reached out to stop the two maids from serving, and he turned his head: "Attention! It's something you negotiated. I'm here this time just to help my brother get things done."
"Oh, yes. We all need to be brave to you and bring courage to everyone. I hope your aura can deter them and let them collect the money and hand over the food."
The resistance in Arik's heart will never disappear, and he will never make a so-called apology. If he must make any statement by then, he plans to use silence as a way of contempt without saying a word at most. He also has his own bottom line. For example, he, his younger brother, and the Ross tribe have been verbally insulted by the other party. What else can he do? Draw out the sword and fight them!
Arik couldn't think of the risks that would be brought if such things happen. He considered himself very high, and he boasted that he could single-handedly smash a blood path. As for thinking of the worst result, sorry, Arik has never tasted the taste of failure, he has nothing to do. fear.
These thoughts in his mind Liu Rick guessed a lot.
Yes, let a ruthless man who killed countless people on the battlefield surrender to a person he hates. Is it possible?
Rurik only hoped that after landing for a while, there would be no trouble. The cousin must not take the initiative to lose control. Rurik still did a little insurance, so the entourage was carefully selected people. For example, the mercenaries from Mellaren were arranged to continue to rest on Gould Island, and they were replaced by the veterans of the native Ross and fighting. Experienced Evlo.
Two polar bear skins as gifts were **** and placed in a wooden box. On top of the leather, there are two bear heads whose brains and jaws have been removed. The hollows of the bear's head and the sharp fangs of the upper jaw show its terribleness. The upper jaw bone is knocked off as a whole, so that the entire bear head can fit on the leather helmet of any warrior.
After the meal, Rurik and his party were full of energy. They boarded a long boat and faced the refreshing lake breeze. The paddlers rowed to the shore with all their strength.
This time, for the first time, Gould hung a small flag on the crowd with his sails unloaded. It was a piece of white linen cloth, stitched onto it by two pieces of cloth dyed in the shape of sky blue oars.
This is the "boat oar" Peugeot adopted by the leader of the Rus tribe, and those who know it will naturally understand it.
Hanging the banner stitched up in the face, in fact, it was also Lurik who declared his power to the Mellaren people.
The ship docked, and the messenger Mellaren, who was waiting for the two "princes" of the Ross tribe, had been waiting for a long time.
In fact, this private soldier was waiting on the beach with a group of private soldiers, and finally he helped the private soldiers who pulled the long boat to the shore. They had already had a battle with Rurik for many days. Only this time, when the two brothers were dressed in full costumes, they were all carefully dressed up by Gould, along with the accompanying guards.
The private soldiers were busy paying attention to the fact that all the Ross people were wearing expensive leather clothes and fine furry hats on their heads. Their wealth is really enviable.
So, who pays attention to the face of the Ross man?
At that time, Rurik and his party were all in burqa, and most of the faces were always covered.
None of the private soldiers realized that something was wrong, but they also found something wrong, that is, a little girl was obviously followed by the fat Gould ~www.novelhall.com~ Oh no! Maybe it should be two little girls.
The bald messenger made a very funny salute to Arik, who was dressed in costume, holding his heart. "You must be Rurik of Rose. Dear guest, please allow me to lead you to the most noble lord."
In the face of Oolong, Arik really wanted to laugh.
Fortunately, he noticed the real Rurik's gesture in the corner of his eyes. Not only did he hold back his laughter, he also suppressed his emotions and counted: "Oh, here we are. I don't want to say anything, take us away."
Hearing the voice of "Rurik", the messenger always felt a little familiar. He was looking at the crowds of Ross who landed, especially glaring at the two small men accompanying him.
The messenger's mind was a little confused: "Wait! My master ordered me to welcome the two sons of Chief Ross. My master does not allow women to visit him, even girls. Maybe that Arik didn't come? If so, you ... Honorable Rurik of Rose, you can go alone."
At this point, Arik could no longer hold back his own whisper. He burst into laughter, the messenger Mellaren and the rest of the private soldiers looked confused.

At the age of 30, he cut his hair from his temples with a knife, only a slip from the top to the back of his head, which was carefully braided. He has an alienated Moxican hairstyle, and his deliberately cut short beard makes his mental outlook full of competence and man's strength.A large number of Mellaren landlords knew they could not have the power of the leader. In order to maximize the interests of the family, they had to deliberately have an affair with Karl, and it is best to give birth to a boy, so that from Karl, who is likely to become the next leader, rely on his grandson. Relationship gets a share.It can be said that each has its own needs.Carl returned rarely, Olekin didn't mean to blame, and some just welcomed his son.It is rare for the father and son to sit down and talk together without the interference of a third person, but Carlton's mood is not good."Father, do you mean that Rurik is coming? A child who is so silly that you are admiring him when you see him, and you actually want to interfere in my life.""Oh. That Rurik is said to have been blessed by Odin. In recent years, the mysterious Ross people have become very active, and I have to beware of them."Carl was very disdainful: "Could you be afraid of them?""Fear? Bah!" Olekin's anger suddenly rose: "In the alliance, I don't allow anyone to threaten the power of our family.""Don't you think that Rurik is a threat?""It's just the rumors and the information sent to me by the spies, so I have to be cautious."The father put on a scheming face, which Carl thought was boring. "The agent told me everything, but the boy is strange, and the Ross people are also strange. They are training the kids and they have made some very good weapons. What can this say? A threat?""I'm afraid it's a threat." Olekin shook his head with his mouth sullen."I don't think it is necessary. No one can challenge our power.""At least it was okay in my rule, but you! When you are a leader, you must beware of the Ross people, their ambitions are no worse than you."The threatening tone of his father really made Karl uncomfortable. He grabbed the knife in his hand and said viciously: "He will come tomorrow and come well. Then kill him to avoid future troubles."Olekin was shocked by the words of the eldest son. He guessed that just because the eldest son was slightly frivolous and self-respecting, it was really possible to cause misfortune regardless of the overall situation."That won't work! If he really didn't know that he died here in vain, he would be enmity with the Rus. By then, the other tribes will not trust us, and they will feel that they will encounter a conspiracy when they go to the meeting.""So what? Is there something stronger than us? We Mellaren don't need any outsiders.""You!" The son actually snarled at himself? ! When Olekin thought of something, he slapped the table with anger: "Stupid! Our ancestors forced the Gotland to withdraw from the alliance, and now they have become the hounds of the Danes. Do you want more allies to withdraw from the alliance? Enemy with us? Now the Rus are frequently attacking the Gotland and the Danes, and I did not seize the opportunity to rescue the Ostrala crisis. Many tribes are resenting me, and many tribes are admiring the Rus. Otto, and you, actually want to kill Otto's son.""If you don't save the Ostras, it was your mistake! If I were the leader, I would have organized an army to fight back." Karl could not control his emotions and directly confronted his father."But if we do that, we have to fight the Danes, and we will suffer heavy losses. The other tribes watched from the sidelines, and in the end it was our Mellaren who lost the most. Do you think I don't want revenge?" Olekin tried his best to explain what he thought was power, but In Carl's view, it is really reasonable for the world to scold him for not being authentic.Carl shrugged: "Then I will meet Rurik tomorrow to see what the so-called son of Odin is."Hearing the eldest son's disrespect, Olekin was a little afraid: "We should show respect, at least we have to respect the great **** Odin. Maybe that child really got the favor.""Forget it. I think it's useful to sell food in exchange for a lot of silver coins. Since the Ross people have brought a lot of money, we will make a deal with them. It doesn't matter what Odin's son or Odin blesses."What could Olekin say about this? The only thing he felt gratified was that when the eldest son was among a group of women, he not only kept his body strong miraculously, but also looked at some issues pragmatically.Yes, getting money now is the last word. The Ostara tribe was destroyed, and Olekin was burdened with a reputation for despair. He consciously needed a victory to reshape his authority. The war required the Mellaren to lead the battle, so in order to have a greater chance of winning, he You need to get money by various means, and you are using it to replace your army with better swords and shields.When Olekin wanted the businessman Gould to reveal his aspirations, he never expected the Ruths to react so quickly. The Roth came with a huge amount of silver coins, and he already had a plan in mind to get the money.The appointed day has arrived.Early in the morning, Rurik put on his costume. He was wearing a coat stitched with mink fur, a tight leather wrapped with gold threads bound his waist, and a dagger and a dagger hung on the belt as usual. He deliberately put on a necklace made of amber and glass beads to show them openly. A snow fox fur is worn on the top of his head, and the fluffy fox tail is placed behind his head, echoing his golden ponytail.He is a beautiful boy, his gorgeous clothes show power and wealth, and his firm eyes make people who meet him for the first time feel that this child is extraordinary.This time, Kawei also rarely changed into Gould's tailor-made clothes. He felt that he was no longer a warrior fighting for life, but a businessman. Wearing this set is obviously Gould's gorgeous coat for his sons who are about to reach adulthood, Arik's mentality is really contradictory.If possible, he would rather change into a leather armor inlaid with gold and silver, put on a helmet riveted with copper, and spin his two swords to meet with the lord.Of course, Arik is also eager for wealth. He is eager to express himself with beautiful things. It is best to keep his martial arts and his colorful clothes, so that he can let his opponent know that he is a unique and ruthless character while standing in front of the battlefield."It's strange, I am a soldier, not a businessman. Now I think I am your son."Gould sighed secretly in his heart, wishing that one of his sons could have even one-tenth of Arik's martial power. He smiled and said: "The servant will help you get your clothes dressed. My hero, I am sorry to wrong you today. Just play as a businessman.""Hey, I'm just worried that after changing into clothes, that guy won't recognize me.""Olekin's best not to pursue the matter of the previous few days. But I still have to apologize." Gould continued to exhort, "We are not going to seek revenge and provocation this time, but to implement what we negotiated."I heard that Arik reached out to stop the two maids from serving, and he turned his head: "Attention! It's something you negotiated. I'm here this time just to help my brother get things done.""Oh, yes. We all need to be brave to you and bring courage to everyone. I hope your aura can deter them and let them collect the money and hand over the food."The resistance in Arik's heart will never disappear, and he will never make a so-called apology. If he must make any statement by then, he plans to use silence as a way of contempt without saying a word at most. He also has his own bottom line. For example, he, his younger brother, and the Ross tribe have been verbally insulted by the other party. What else can he do? Draw out the sword and fight them!Arik couldn't think of the risks that would be brought if such things happen. He considered himself very high, and he boasted that he could single-handedly smash a blood path. As for thinking of the worst result, sorry, Arik has never tasted the taste of failure, he has nothing to do. fear.These thoughts in his mind Liu Rick guessed a lot.Yes, let a ruthless man who killed countless people on the battlefield surrender to a person he hates. Is it possible?Rurik only hoped that after landing for a while, there would be no trouble. The cousin must not take the initiative to lose control. Rurik still did a little insurance, so the entourage was carefully selected people. For example, the mercenaries from Mellaren were arranged to continue to rest on Gould Island, and they were replaced by the veterans of the native Ross and fighting. Experienced Evlo.Two polar bear skins as gifts were **** and placed in a wooden box. On top of the leather, there are two bear heads whose brains and jaws have been removed. The hollows of the bear's head and the sharp fangs of the upper jaw show its terribleness. The upper jaw bone is knocked off as a whole, so that the entire bear head can fit on the leather helmet of any warrior.After the meal, Rurik and his party were full of energy. They boarded a long boat and faced the refreshing lake breeze. The paddlers rowed to the shore with all their strength.This time, for the first time, Gould hung a small flag on the crowd with his sails unloaded. It was a piece of white linen cloth, stitched onto it by two pieces of cloth dyed in the shape of sky blue oars.This is the "boat oar" Peugeot adopted by the leader of the Rus tribe, and those who know it will naturally understand it.Hanging the banner stitched up in the face, in fact, it was also Lurik who declared his power to the Mellaren people.The ship docked, and the messenger Mellaren, who was waiting for the two "princes" of the Ross tribe, had been waiting for a long time.In fact, this private soldier was waiting on the beach with a group of private soldiers, and finally he helped the private soldiers who pulled the long boat to the shore. They had already had a battle with Rurik for many days. Only this time, when the two brothers were dressed in full costumes, they were all carefully dressed up by Gould, along with the accompanying guards.The private soldiers were busy paying attention to the fact that all the Ross people were wearing expensive leather clothes and fine furry hats on their heads. Their wealth is really enviable.So, who pays attention to the face of the Ross man?At that time, Rurik and his party were all in burqa, and most of the faces were always covered.None of the private soldiers realized that something was wrong, but they also found something wrong, that is, a little girl was obviously followed by the fat Gould ~www.novelhall.com~ Oh no! Maybe it should be two little girls.The bald messenger made a very funny salute to Arik, who was dressed in costume, holding his heart. "You must be Rurik of Rose. Dear guest, please allow me to lead you to the most noble lord."In the face of Oolong, Arik really wanted to laugh.Fortunately, he noticed the real Rurik's gesture in the corner of his eyes. Not only did he hold back his laughter, he also suppressed his emotions and counted: "Oh, here we are. I don't want to say anything, take us away."Hearing the voice of "Rurik", the messenger always felt a little familiar. He was looking at the crowds of Ross who landed, especially glaring at the two small men accompanying him.The messenger's mind was a little confused: "Wait! My master ordered me to welcome the two sons of Chief Ross. My master does not allow women to visit him, even girls. Maybe that Arik didn't come? If so, you ... Honorable Rurik of Rose, you can go alone."At this point, Arik could no longer hold back his own whisper. He burst into laughter, the messenger Mellaren and the rest of the private soldiers looked confused.
