If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again
There was an adventure just after landing, and Rurik could understand that the Mellaren people regarded the tall and burly Arik as the "real Rurik", because this is worthy of belief.
But it's ridiculous to be treated as a girl as a genuine Rurik.
"I'm treated as a girl again? Damn, is it just like washing my face with soap and taking care of my hair well? As long as I pay attention to hygiene, I am a girl? I don't believe that girls in this era are also aware of hygiene."
Rurik didn't know whether he should reveal his identity immediately, and he also deliberately continued to see his cousin's on-the-spot reaction and the actions of the messenger Mellaren.
It is misunderstood, and it is forgivable for Rurik and Carlota. Carlotta is the real girl, but her noble status and responsibilities forced her to become a female fighter before becoming the sole leader of Ostara.
She was dressed very similarly to Rurik, with a dagger hanging from her waist. It's entirely because Rurik prefers simple ponytails, and now the Carlotta sisters mainly use simple techniques and often put golden ponytails on themselves. The only difference here is that they wear colored glass beads on their head ropes, while Rurik is a simple hemp rope.
Gould saw the clues. He cursed the messenger's stupidity in his heart. Then he replaced Arik, who laughed wildly and apparently made people think he was taunting the Mellarians, and explained to the messenger: "Anyway, we have arrived! The lord is now! The one who needs to see most is Rurik, who is destined to inherit the post of leader of Ross. He has brought in the Rost products dedicated to the leader and his sincerity to buy a large amount of food."
Gould understands the world most. His fat figure and ball-like head make it impossible for the private soldiers who are always on guard to be on guard against him.
Gould stretched out his big chubby hand and took the initiative to cover the messenger's right hand. A strange cooling sensation hit the palm of his hand. The messenger suddenly lowered his head and saw the corner of a gold coin where the two shaking hands.
The messenger immediately changed his words: "Oh, it would be a surprise if the daughter of Chief Ross also came to see him. My master will be very satisfied. I hope that the mighty Mellaren under the rule of our great alliance can also surprise you. "
Arik’s laughter finally stopped. Rülik was not angry about his cousin’s tactical actions, and even got some information unexpectedly.
I'm afraid that the messenger's initial remarks weren't a lie, the leader Olekin was very resistant to the woman's appearance at the meeting.
"It seems that Gould is right. It is already very difficult for him to admit Carlotta as the female leader of the Ostara tribe." Rurik felt a little worried. After all, among the more than ten people who landed ashore, only There is Carlotta a woman, or girl.
Of course, her landing was not to join in the fun. This trip to Rurik added another purpose, which is to force Olekin to recognize Carlotta's status.
What if that person does not admit it?
What else can I do? The business has been done according to the day, foreigners will not admit it, at least I will always admit it, this is not just due to politics and alliance morality, it is because Carlota is already a family member.
Setting foot on the Mellaren Bazaar again, walking on a familiar road, Rurik was not as rare or strange as the messenger hoped.
Yes, until now, all the messengers thought that Arik was the real Rurik.
They hope that the guests will be amazed by the prosperity of the bazaar, but Kawei already knows a lot about the bazaar, how can he be surprised? Since this trip is to see the leader, his heart has always hidden contempt and disdain.
The messenger tried his best to introduce the bazaar, but in return it was the Ross people's perfunctory huh. As for Gould who was with him, he glanced at the stall, and with the instinct of a businessman, he noticed that the commodities were profitable.
"May the Ross people's market is also very prosperous? Yes, they can spend a lot of silver coins to buy wheat, and their clothes are rich and gorgeous..." The messenger chose to shut up, and he even felt that his show off was too embarrassing.
Rurik and Arik didn't intend to pay attention to the things peddled by the market vendors anymore. Because they knew the route to the leader's residence, they didn't really need any guides.
They continued to push the messenger forward, and their proficiency was surprising but did not arouse suspicion.
After a while, the towering thick wooden wall appeared in front of the Rurik brothers for the second time.
"Everyone, please wait here with your gifts."
After the messenger had finished speaking, he led the two of them into the door held by the private soldiers first to inform the guests of the fact that they were attending the appointment.
After a while, the messenger stretched his serious face and conveyed the master's will: "Ross, the great lord has permitted you to enter this sacred realm. Now, come in with your gifts." After speaking, he said again. Turned around and walked into the wooden wall with or without.
Arik looked at this person's back contemptuously, and muttered secretly: "It's just a dog. Can the dog of the leader be noble by us?"
Rurik gently pulled his cousin's hand, and whispered: "When we see him in a while, we have to show our identity. If you have to, don't talk."
Arik barked his teeth, "Are you afraid I would cut his head? I'm not stupid. Okay, I get it."
What exactly is the leader's home like?
The building enclosed by the wooden wall finally lost its mystery, but Rurik had no idea about it. According to Gould's omission, even though Olegin has the noble status of the leader, the house is far inferior to the new house of the leader of Rose.
Originally, Rurik felt that Gould was flattering when he said so, but now, when looking at the so-called mansion of the leader, how can he feel like a "doghouse"?
Anyway, it was an almost pure wooden building, and Rurik saw at a glance that even if the leader of the dignified tribal alliance, the sleeping place was still covered with leather on the sandy ground. I am afraid that before they knew the concept of "bed", they would not have thought of how stupid they were to sleep on the ground all year round.
A big wooden house with a herringbone roof with sharp angles and wooden tiles, looks like what the lord calls the chamber.
Rurik couldn't help but look up at the top of the roof. He was a little surprised. The overall height of the house was not as high as the wooden wall. Is it really a spire if you are full? Rurik kinda hoped that a mast would be erected on top of it, and a small flag symbolizing the sovereignty of the alliance was hung.
On the contrary, there are some cloths hanging under the eaves, and some complicated patterns are stitched on them. They are the same as some small flags hanging on the side of the bazaar. They must be the totem of the leader family or the symbol of the entire Melalen people.
Rurik knew one thing, that is, the entire tribal alliance did not have a banner representing the alliance.
Based on the current information and analysis, the so-called alliance is really a group of leaders of several tribes living near the Svealand Plain, gathered together to elect a "boss", and verbally agreed on a non-aggression pledge. This is basically the case for the league. The alliance is not an imaginary community that exists objectively, but a union between leaders.
Regarding the previous incident, Rurik deliberately expelled the Uppsala children through the Mälaren people, and even the Ostala people who fled last year were not saved. He came to a simple conclusion-ordinary Mälaren People are not very concerned about the alliance.
Just as Rülik looked around, the messenger continued to signal to Arik: "I will go to make the final report to the leader. All of you just stand here and don't move. Remember, don't move!"
Like being threatened, Arik was very unhappy. The corner of his eyes looked at the private soldiers in leather armor who were obviously deliberately arranged, and the killing intent in his heart was never let go.
Before long, the straight-faced messenger returned.
Arik also put on a bad face: "Did the leader say something?"
"The lord permitted your visit, even with..." The messenger looked at the two short "girls" again. "The lord said, since they are the two beautiful daughters of Chief Ross, he would like to see them."
daughter? Rurik wanted to grow a beard that could be braided now, and criticized the messenger's eyelessness with a baritone.
After thinking about it, he still remained calm.
The messenger also put forward a very critical condition for the audience: "The three of you can meet the leader, and the others are unworthy. Also, you must remove the sword, and the leader only allows you to wear a knife for cutting barbecue."
Gould was taken aback and hurriedly heard the news: "What? Olekin didn't even want to see me?"
The messenger sternly said: "Businessman, pay attention to your words. This is the only meeting of the tribes, and you have no right to participate."
Gould was speechless. As long as he was forced to stay outdoors, he knew that he couldn't make peace when something happened. He could only hope that the rebellious Olek wouldn't do anything.
"You! Is he going to humiliate us?!" Arik sternly reprimanded, just as he saw the eyes of Rurik's envoy, and even Gould's eyes again in the corner of his eyes.
The messenger did not want to repeat: This is the rule of seeing the leader, and it is forbidden to enter without disarming the weapon.
At this moment, Arik completely regarded the leader as a coward in his heart.
Rurik felt that the leader's approach was very correct. If the leader really coveted power, he could take out a sharp blade to assassinate him during the meeting. The leader refused the big merchant to participate in the discussions between the tribes, but Rurik somewhat admired this person for being a bit advanced.
Arik unwillingly unloaded his two swords and handed them over to the trustworthy Jeflo who must stay outdoors, as did Rurik and Carlotta.
At the same time, the leader Olekin and his only son Karl, also put on their most gorgeous clothes, sat in a slightly dim camp full of oil lamps, sat cross-legged on a thick leather cushion, waiting for Rose. Audience. Although it was not Otto, it was also a meeting to break the deadlock!
Olekin is looking forward to reaching a planned and very critical transaction with the visiting legendary Rurik in a very short time. It is best to use the powerful prestige brought by his own power to deliver to Before they Maizi, they first got the huge sum of 50,000 silver coins.
"Well, Roth, please go in." After that, the messenger stood at the door of the chamber without moving a step.
Arik looked at this person, and then looked at the deep house. Standing at the door, he could vaguely perhaps have a large space inside, but he couldn't see where the leader was.
He boldly stepped into it, followed by Rurik and Carlotta.
Arik deliberately held his head high, and deliberately kicked while walking, in order to make a noise to deter the opponent.
Finally, two figures appeared under the dim oil lamp. They also wore furry clothes. When they fixed their eyes, they must be expensive ferret fur coats and hats.
There are only two people sitting in the huge chamber, one of them must be the leader himself? Rurik firmly believes in his own speculation. As for another seemingly tall figure, he must also be a powerful figure in the Mellaren tribe who does not show up easily.
Rurik no longer needed to hide behind his cousin. He took Carlota, who was a little timid, forcing the girl to raise her head bravely. As a leader, he must have the aura of a leader.
"Remember, you are a leader, and I am also a leader. Although Olegin is the leader, you are as noble as him."
Rurik motivated Carlotta in a low voice, which was also for himself.
Rurik's original intention was to maintain an indispensable etiquette in the face of the leader, but his cousin contempted this arrogant leader from the bottom of his heart.
"You? You're Rurik?" The one who saw it was fierce, and the domineering spirit was about to overflow, Ole Jinang raised his chest and said in a low voice, consciously oppressive words : "Now kneel down and salute your lord!"
But Arik, he was indifferent. Instead, he had a cold face, his eyes like sharp knives, and a threatening look in contempt, staring at Olegin's face.
The distance is very close, even if this person wears a hat, Arik can still recognize him.
At this moment, the whole scene fell into a deadly embarrassment.
Olekin couldn't imagine that all the leaders who had met before nodded and bowed because of the mighty power of the Mellaren tribe. Why did a stunner of Rose come here, this guy pretending to be stupid? Do you want to negotiate business with this kind of person?
A bolder guy suddenly stood up!
Olekin’s only son, Carl, stood up. He and Arik were ten years older and two. According to the traditions inherent in the region, the two of them are basically one generation behind. His height and body are similar to those of Arik. He saw that the other party’s beard was not long enough. He recalled the legend of "Rurik". He stretched out his right arm very rudely and pointed at Arik’s nose arrogantly: "To you The lord salutes! Rurik! This is the kind of etiquette you Rus must have!"
Arik was indifferent. Instead, he turned his head and stared at Carl, glaringly horrified: "Who are you? Dare to talk to me like this? You know the people on the battlefield who dare to finger me, their heads are not only cut off by me. Down, the skull is still used by me as a drinking bowl. Don't you think you are strong?"
"You!" Carl was so angry that he actually took two steps back unconsciously because of the murderous look. When he reacted, he realized that he was shameful.
For thirty-one years, Carl, who has a high self-esteem, was greatly amazed that he would show his timidity. How did he swallow this bad breath when he was sad and angry? No matter what "Rose's Rurik"! Carl was carrying a sword to assassinate this **** guy, but he was asked by his father to unload the weapon.
"Damn, I never showed my cowardice, why today...I am going to kill you." The regretful Carl was angry and really didn't know what to say. His thoughts had to be suppressed in his heart. Enmity was to be reported, but not now.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
There was an adventure just after landing, and Rurik could understand that the Mellaren people regarded the tall and burly Arik as the "real Rurik", because this is worthy of belief.
But it's ridiculous to be treated as a girl as a genuine Rurik.

Can the dog of the leader be noble by us?"Rurik gently pulled his cousin's hand, and whispered: "When we see him in a while, we have to show our identity. If you have to, don't talk."Arik barked his teeth, "Are you afraid I would cut his head? I'm not stupid. Okay, I get it."What exactly is the leader's home like?The building enclosed by the wooden wall finally lost its mystery, but Rurik had no idea about it. According to Gould's omission, even though Olegin has the noble status of the leader, the house is far inferior to the new house of the leader of Rose.Originally, Rurik felt that Gould was flattering when he said so, but now, when looking at the so-called mansion of the leader, how can he feel like a "doghouse"?Anyway, it was an almost pure wooden building, and Rurik saw at a glance that even if the leader of the dignified tribal alliance, the sleeping place was still covered with leather on the sandy ground. I am afraid that before they knew the concept of "bed", they would not have thought of how stupid they were to sleep on the ground all year round.A big wooden house with a herringbone roof with sharp angles and wooden tiles, looks like what the lord calls the chamber.Rurik couldn't help but look up at the top of the roof. He was a little surprised. The overall height of the house was not as high as the wooden wall. Is it really a spire if you are full? Rurik kinda hoped that a mast would be erected on top of it, and a small flag symbolizing the sovereignty of the alliance was hung.On the contrary, there are some cloths hanging under the eaves, and some complicated patterns are stitched on them. They are the same as some small flags hanging on the side of the bazaar. They must be the totem of the leader family or the symbol of the entire Melalen people.Rurik knew one thing, that is, the entire tribal alliance did not have a banner representing the alliance.Based on the current information and analysis, the so-called alliance is really a group of leaders of several tribes living near the Svealand Plain, gathered together to elect a "boss", and verbally agreed on a non-aggression pledge. This is basically the case for the league. The alliance is not an imaginary community that exists objectively, but a union between leaders.Regarding the previous incident, Rurik deliberately expelled the Uppsala children through the Mlaren people, and even the Ostala people who fled last year were not saved. He came to a simple conclusion-ordinary Mlaren People are not very concerned about the alliance.Just as Rlik looked around, the messenger continued to signal to Arik: "I will go to make the final report to the leader. All of you just stand here and don't move. Remember, don't move!"Like being threatened, Arik was very unhappy. The corner of his eyes looked at the private soldiers in leather armor who were obviously deliberately arranged, and the killing intent in his heart was never let go.Before long, the straight-faced messenger returned.Arik also put on a bad face: "Did the leader say something?""The lord permitted your visit, even with..." The messenger looked at the two short "girls" again. "The lord said, since they are the two beautiful daughters of Chief Ross, he would like to see them."daughter? Rurik wanted to grow a beard that could be braided now, and criticized the messenger's eyelessness with a baritone.After thinking about it, he still remained calm.The messenger also put forward a very critical condition for the audience: "The three of you can meet the leader, and the others are unworthy. Also, you must remove the sword, and the leader only allows you to wear a knife for cutting barbecue."Gould was taken aback and hurriedly heard the news: "What? Olekin didn't even want to see me?"The messenger sternly said: "Businessman, pay attention to your words. This is the only meeting of the tribes, and you have no right to participate."Gould was speechless. As long as he was forced to stay outdoors, he knew that he couldn't make peace when something happened. He could only hope that the rebellious Olek wouldn't do anything."You! Is he going to humiliate us?!" Arik sternly reprimanded, just as he saw the eyes of Rurik's envoy, and even Gould's eyes again in the corner of his eyes.The messenger did not want to repeat: This is the rule of seeing the leader, and it is forbidden to enter without disarming the weapon.At this moment, Arik completely regarded the leader as a coward in his heart.Rurik felt that the leader's approach was very correct. If the leader really coveted power, he could take out a sharp blade to assassinate him during the meeting. The leader refused the big merchant to participate in the discussions between the tribes, but Rurik somewhat admired this person for being a bit advanced.Arik unwillingly unloaded his two swords and handed them over to the trustworthy Jeflo who must stay outdoors, as did Rurik and Carlotta.At the same time, the leader Olekin and his only son Karl, also put on their most gorgeous clothes, sat in a slightly dim camp full of oil lamps, sat cross-legged on a thick leather cushion, waiting for Rose. Audience. Although it was not Otto, it was also a meeting to break the deadlock!Olekin is looking forward to reaching a planned and very critical transaction with the visiting legendary Rurik in a very short time. It is best to use the powerful prestige brought by his own power to deliver to Before they Maizi, they first got the huge sum of 50,000 silver coins."Well, Roth, please go in." After that, the messenger stood at the door of the chamber without moving a step.Arik looked at this person, and then looked at the deep house. Standing at the door, he could vaguely perhaps have a large space inside, but he couldn't see where the leader was.He boldly stepped into it, followed by Rurik and Carlotta.Arik deliberately held his head high, and deliberately kicked while walking, in order to make a noise to deter the opponent.Finally, two figures appeared under the dim oil lamp. They also wore furry clothes. When they fixed their eyes, they must be expensive ferret fur coats and hats.There are only two people sitting in the huge chamber, one of them must be the leader himself? Rurik firmly believes in his own speculation. As for another seemingly tall figure, he must also be a powerful figure in the Mellaren tribe who does not show up easily.Rurik no longer needed to hide behind his cousin. He took Carlota, who was a little timid, forcing the girl to raise her head bravely. As a leader, he must have the aura of a leader."Remember, you are a leader, and I am also a leader. Although Olegin is the leader, you are as noble as him."Rurik motivated Carlotta in a low voice, which was also for himself.Rurik's original intention was to maintain an indispensable etiquette in the face of the leader, but his cousin contempted this arrogant leader from the bottom of his heart."You? You're Rurik?" The one who saw it was fierce, and the domineering spirit was about to overflow, Ole Jinang raised his chest and said in a low voice, consciously oppressive words : "Now kneel down and salute your lord!"But Arik, he was indifferent. Instead, he had a cold face, his eyes like sharp knives, and a threatening look in contempt, staring at Olegin's face.The distance is very close, even if this person wears a hat, Arik can still recognize him.At this moment, the whole scene fell into a deadly embarrassment.Olekin couldn't imagine that all the leaders who had met before nodded and bowed because of the mighty power of the Mellaren tribe. Why did a stunner of Rose come here, this guy pretending to be stupid? Do you want to negotiate business with this kind of person?A bolder guy suddenly stood up!Olekin's only son, Carl, stood up. He and Arik were ten years older and two. According to the traditions inherent in the region, the two of them are basically one generation behind. His height and body are similar to those of Arik. He saw that the other party's beard was not long enough. He recalled the legend of "Rurik". He stretched out his right arm very rudely and pointed at Arik's nose arrogantly: "To you The lord salutes! Rurik! This is the kind of etiquette you Rus must have!"Arik was indifferent. Instead, he turned his head and stared at Carl, glaringly horrified: "Who are you? Dare to talk to me like this? You know the people on the battlefield who dare to finger me, their heads are not only cut off by me. Down, the skull is still used by me as a drinking bowl. Don't you think you are strong?""You!" Carl was so angry that he actually took two steps back unconsciously because of the murderous look. When he reacted, he realized that he was shameful.For thirty-one years, Carl, who has a high self-esteem, was greatly amazed that he would show his timidity. How did he swallow this bad breath when he was sad and angry? No matter what "Rose's Rurik"! Carl was carrying a sword to assassinate this **** guy, but he was asked by his father to unload the weapon."Damn, I never showed my cowardice, why today...I am going to kill you." The regretful Carl was angry and really didn't know what to say. His thoughts had to be suppressed in his heart. Enmity was to be reported, but not now.
