The body of the saint will eventually be turned into ashes. Many people in this night recalled all the past about Veria, recalling everything the old priest had done for the tribe. They repeatedly kept vigil for Veria, knowing that it was dawn.
At dawn, the noise of Roseburg still awakened the entire tribe.
Lurik doesn't want to care about the rumors that are there for the time being. After all, he returns by himself, and any rumors are self-defeating.
He must use some kind of tough means to deter the conspirators in the tribe, as well as some guys who are hiding deep.
He claims that certain measures must be taken as soon as possible to bring a different starting point to the "post-Villa era".
At dawn, Otto wakes up early, his heart is full of sadness.
Niya tried to keep calm, but she inadvertently shed tears.
Lurik had already woke up, staying at home with his parents, wives and concubines, eating jerky and oatmeal.
Everyone remained silent until Rurik said astonishingly: "I want to take immediate action, and the sacrificial longhouse will be demolished today."
Niya was taken aback: "What did you say?"
"Take down the long house for worship."
His son's face is serious, he doesn't seem to be talking nonsense. Niya almost instinctively discouraged: "Don't be delusional, that's a sanctuary. You can't do this."
"No! The long house of the priest is sacred because of Veria, and when she is dead, there is no meaning there."
"But..."
"Let him do it." Otto stopped his wife.
"You! Otto, have you two discussed it?"
"Yes, I will do it right away." Let's talk, Ruriek quickly ate the wheat cakes, stood up suddenly, and walked out of the house in the surprise of his mother and female relatives.
The outdoor temperature is still below freezing. Although it is approaching March, the ice on the sea does not seem to be thawed. People who dig ice to make breathing holes to catch seals and fish must still carefully use an axe to go after half a meter. Of ice.
At this low temperature, a large number of people have appeared outdoors. Dressed in thick leather clothes and fluffy hats, they spontaneously moved to the long house of worship.
Liurik brought the dignified mercenary men on guard to his mercenary camp, and ordered the sleeping mercenary fighters to assemble at a rapid speed.
"Are everyone here? Jeflo, count it."
After a while, Jeflo completed the statistical task, carefully reporting: "One hundred and fifty brothers are here."
"Very good! You are all my confidants." Rurik shouted, "Bring an axe? Get some hemp rope? Go with me! Remember, what do I want you to do? What do you dare to refuse? If you are guilty, you will be killed!"
Didn't the cold make everyone awake? On the contrary, it was a serious and terrifying command from Rülick, which made people's hearts beat faster.
A mighty army went to worship the longhouse? All this happened under Otto's gaze and permission.
There are people standing on both sides of the winding road? Everyone has a lot of different opinions, and I don’t know what Master Rurik intends to move out of the army of mercenaries.
The earth was trembling, and at this moment the priestesses in the chief priest's house noticed the abnormality.
Lu Mia, she just guarded the gray body of Veria and knows now? She shed tears at the thought of the past few years.
The body has been placed in the lobby of the longhouse? A large number of oil lamps are arranged around the body, which brings out a strong sense of ritual.
The outdoors is very noisy.
"Let's see, is the person carrying the body here?" She greeted casually, but Rurik hurriedly opened the curtain and entered.
"Liurik, you are here!" Lumia immediately greeted her.
"Is everything okay?" Rurik asked casually with a sullen face.
"Everything is fine. The ceremony is about to begin?"
"Yes! You guys..." Rurik looked around? solemnly ordered: "Lu Mia, are you coming over? Stand by my side. I now arrange for manpower to move all the things in the long house."
"Ah? What are you...what are you going to do?" Lumia just felt inexplicable? Although the body was to be moved to the final cremation altar, should other objects be buried?
Lurik sighed a long time? looked at Lumia sincerely: "This long house was built for Vilia? This is no longer sacred? There is no meaning. Now, I will tear it down."
"Take it down?" Lumia looked wrong, and the other priests were at a loss.
Rurik’s words were not finished yet, as a group of mercenaries who rolled up their linen sleeves broke into this "sanctuary" with serious faces, the priestesses instantly understood that Rurik’s words were true, and they began to criticize again. Mortals broke into the sanctuary.
"This is not sacred anymore! You women..." Rurik yelled, and pointed: "You priestesses, you have been assisting Vilia in serving Odin. Now Vilia is a Valkyrie, how about you ? You no longer need to continue to exist."
After that, Rurik made a gesture, and Jeflo brought his men with a sharp blade and came aggressively. In fact, Rurik was thinking about dismissing these priestesses at first, but he later thought about it, and under Otto's hint, decided to kill the killer.
They easily arrested all the ordinary priestesses present, grabbed them one by one with their arms, and pressed them to kneel on the ground.
The priestesses wailed in horror. They were still struggling for forgiveness without knowing what had happened, but it was a pity that any struggle was meaningless.
Lumia approached Rurik in a panic: "You! They...what are you going to do to them?"
Lurik's eyes were extremely resolute. He didn't say a word, just stretched out his right fist to send out a "hands-on" signal.
I saw the mercenary soldiers drew out hemp rope and hanged the priestess who was kneeling.
"Oh! How could this be..." For a moment, Lumia's forehead was full of sweat. She looked into Rurik's eyes and begged: "Why kill them? They are priestesses! Today's ceremony..."
"I don't need them anymore!" Rurik suddenly held Lumia in his arms, grabbed her tightly, put his mouth to her ear, and whispered coldly: "You are our high priest, you It's my woman. You must lie next to me every night, not the long house of the priests. There will be no long house of the priests in the future! These priestesses and the whole long house must be buried for Veria! I I will re-appoint some new priestesses to be your assistants. I will build a permanent temple and build statues of gods. Now, close your eyes and don't think about anything."
Of all the priestesses, only Palla survived. Of course, the woman was expelled by the hanged priestesses early, and it had nothing to do with the sacrificial group. She became a master at making soap and created a lot of wealth for her masters. For this kind of woman, Rurik will not only do no harm, but also continue to give important tasks.
Seeing the terrifying death scene in front of him, Rurik's heart moved a little, and that was all.
None of the summer priestesses in the longhouse survived. They were given a "bloodless execution" and lay down beside Veria's body one by one.
This is one of the funerals of the Vikings.
The leaders of some tribes died, and their female slaves were buried for them. In the same way, Rose's high priest has passed away. Why do her ordinary priests continue to live?
"My lord, it's all done." Yevlo asked solemnly and somewhat fearfully, "What's next?"
"Pick up these corpses with leather and carry them out, and then move all the coins. You have finished moving the things in the room, and wait for my order to demolish the house."
The mercenaries have begun to act!
Outdoor mercenaries lined up a wall to prevent the gathering of Ross people from walking around. The people had different opinions. They saw Master Rurik's men enter the long house. When they were surprised, they saw those people come out carrying some strange things.
Do not! That is actually a human! It's a dead person! Those drooping braids are...
People are shocked to realize that a large number of priestesses... are dead?
The scene was very noisy at one time, but Otto was not surprised at all of this. He pushed away from the crowd and shouted: "Don't be surprised! These dead priestesses are willing to bury Vilia. Their souls have already entered Asgard, where they will continue to assist our Valkyrie! Sperosville!"
Otto roared so, everyone's emotions calmed down a little bit.
Suddenly someone questioned: "Where is our new high priest? Where is Lumia of Master Rurik?"
At that time, Lumia wore a helmet with antlers and walked out of the long house of the priest, which was urgently to be demolished, with Veria's wooden staff inlaid with gems.
She is much shorter than the average Rose woman, and her current height is exactly the same as that of Veria's life. Quite a few people were almost stunned, and a Veria was resurrected by mistake.
"I! High Priest Lumia, I will perform all the rituals today and in the future. All the new lower priests are born! I am the servant of Lord Rurik, and all the new lower priests are Rurik. Your servant!"
Lumia has understood everything, she gladly accepted her brand new mission, and instantly lost her thoughts about this long house of the priest and everything in it. According to the words of Rurik assault teaching, she informally announced one thing to the people outdoors-all future sacrifices will only obey the order of the son of God, Rurik.
The Ross tribe does have ambitious people, but this kind of people are very few. Most tribesmen, especially women whose husbands and sons died in the tribe, ordinary families, and orphans from all over the world, they fully support all of Rurik’s propositions and hope that Lord Rurik will control greater power and wealth. , So that you can drink more soup.
They watched in astonishment as the remains of the priestess who was buried were removed, and then they looked at the large number of suitcases with money.
Lurik personally held that precious sheepskin book, which is a "Roman Sacred Relic", even if its title is "Exodus". In addition, all the wooden documents engraved on the past of the Ross people were **** with twine and carried out.
Lurik finally appeared. No one noticed the book he was holding. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at the holy artifacts raised by the eight people behind!
is the remains of Veria!
Otto gave an order: "To our High Priest of Veria, kneel down!"
The Ross people, both men and women, knelt on one knee, and Otto also greeted him and became the coffin carrier of Veria.
This dead tree-like old woman did her best for the Ross tribe. At this moment, she was lying peacefully on the wooden bed, covered with a snow-white polar bear skin, just like the world around her and the frozen sea, a piece of whiteness.
The team slowly walked towards the towering cremation altar, and all the Ross people along the way had knelt and bid farewell to the sacred corpse of Veria.
The fat businessman Gould kneeled down with his family.
The Hotla family and his friends knelt down.
The Fodegan family, the owner of the tailor's workshop, knelt down.
A large number of businessmen knelt down.
There are also the old Eric family from Denmark and the travelers from the Balmerk tribe who came from afar. They were guests and knelt down for Rose's passing high priest.
Their kneeling came from the bottom of their hearts, such as Bijuni, but he learned that the high priest of Rose had died at the age of eighty, and he immediately believed the fact that the high priest had ascended to heaven and became a Valkyrie. In Bijuni's concept, no mortal can live to be eighty years old, so the old woman lifted by the Duke of Rose himself must be truly sacred.
The long house of the priest has become empty, all useful things have been removed, and the rest is demolition work.
In the end, the Rus people voluntarily followed this order. They brought all kinds of tools and quickly turned the old longhouse into ruins.
A lot of old building wood will be turned into fuel for the wooden platform, only the fifty-odd oak beams that have collapsed on the roof! The largest and most important oak beam among them, Rurik did not hesitate to use it as the keel of a new ship.
The golden light of the sun sprinkled on the entire white world. In the days when Rick was no longer a clan, Clavassen’s blacksmith shop allowed Lilia to continue to make some dark lenses while she was breastfeeding. Now, the two hundred Ross people put on sunglasses, and the sunlight on the snow no longer dazzled their eyes. They stayed in front of the pile of wood for a long time.
are them too. These people wearing sunglasses assisted Rurik’s elite mercenaries to move the remains of the lower priestess who was buried with them to the pyre. At this moment, they saw the ferocious face of the priestess and the severe scars on her neck.
They are not willing, but killed!
Who did it? Otto must have ordered it. .
But, this is their fate! Sooner or later they will be buried with Villa.
Finally, Veria's body was placed on the top of the pyre, and then a large amount of seal grease was burned hot and began to sprinkle on the pyre at the bottom of the table on a large scale. In order to make the burning faster and more full, Ruriek can only do this.
This is a large-scale cremation, burning the deceased to ashes, and it will take one day and one night at the earliest. Rurik only hopes to end this soon...
The sun is finally about to rise to the right sky, and the occasion of the sacrifice is now.
The high priest Lumia appeared wearing a antler helmet, and the so-called lower priestesses who followed were actually a group of girls? !
Do not! These girls wear unique silver jewelry, and each silver jewelry hung on the chest is inlaid with a different gold heraldry. Everyone knows where they are inferior priestesses. This is a group of slaves that Otto got from Novgorod and gave them to Rurik. Now they are the wives and concubines of Lord Rurik.
Lu Mia has the largest silver jewellery. People with a discerning eye can see that this short woman has an extremely noble position among wives and concubines, and she is also the new high priest.
After a while, more children appeared!
A large number of boys are holding "spears", they actually hold a very long wooden stick, each stick is tied with a white cloth. They are children who have been trained and provided by Rurik, and they are also future warriors who are loyal to Rurik. Farewell to the high priest Veria will be a special trial in their lives.
They lined up in the neat team during training, all in one suit, lined up one after another in a matrix, standing around the wooden platform, and the absolute orderliness greatly strengthened the seriousness of the ceremony.
Another group of girls appeared. Two hundred girls around the age of ten were all dressed in white. They tied white cloth strips to their foreheads, each carrying a bow tied with white cloth strips, and the hemp rope around their waists hung a quiver and a bag. There are a few arrows stuck in it.
The final funeral is now finally ready to begin!
As many as ten reindeer sacrificed, they were stabbed to death one by one by Rurik holding a sword, and then the deer's body was dragged directly onto the ice. A group of strong men sculpted ice holes, letting all the deer blood flow into the ocean.
Lumia shouted under the gaze of as many as 8,000 pairs of eyes: "O God of the sea! Please accept our sacrifice! Let the human remains of Sperosville return to the sea!"
These reindeer are not dedicated to Odin, but to the ocean. As for the carcass of deer, it is natural to become food for people, especially as a treat for men who participate in sacrificial activities.
Lumia began to chant the ancient sacrificial prayers of the Rus tribe, and some elderly people finally realized that what the girl chanted was turned into a prayer dedicated to the death of a great man. People listened to Lumia's solo in silence, and then heard a large number of girls' chorus, especially the battle song "Holy War" by the Ross people. The battle hymn was sung to Odin! The Ross people firmly believe that one of Odin's incarnations is the sun.
At noon, Rurik washed his hands full of deer blood and stood on a high place. He held a flaming pine torch and shouted: "Rose! Our high priest Veria, used 80 Nian completed her sacred mission! Odin is her father, she was the Valkyrie, and now Odin has taken her away! Sperosville! Our Valkyrie! She is looking at us from the sky Action! Odin is watching our actions!"
"I! Leurik! I am also a descendant of Odin! I am your greatest leader, Odin shelters me invincible! Odin shelters me against the wind and snow and the heat! I will lead you to glory, all surrender Ross and those who have formed alliance with Ross will receive the honor of Odin's reward! Now, let me start a new era!"
At this point, the boys and girls began to yell at Ullah in a rhythmic manner in accordance with Rurik’s previous arrangement.
The voice of Ullah, Rurik is to use it as the unique Viking roar of the Rus.
Rurik endured the pain of his throat, approached the pyre with a tragic expression, and threw a torch~www.novelhall.com~ The flame touched the flammable seal oil and burned quickly, and the charcoal in the pyre was already infiltrated. After the grease was removed, a terrifying pillar of fire rushed into the sky almost for an instant.
Lurik felt the terrifying heat, and the onlookers retreated subconsciously. Rurik squinted and raised his head, watching Veria's body engulfed in yellow flames...
The flame shocked everyone, no matter whether everyone reacted or not, Rurik publicly announced that his era had officially arrived! The so-called Veria was chosen by Odin, and Rurik was second. Those who agree that Rurik is a sacred person, based on today's rituals, greatly strengthened their power of faith. As for the careerists, some people began to waver.
Lurik also didn't expect a group of guys who questioned his status to change their views quickly. He believed that at least those guys knew what ferociousness was.
His estimate is correct. The Ross people cannot tolerate that their leader is not a fierce and fierce warrior. Now everyone is soberly aware that although Rurik is still an immature child (less than twelve years old), he already has the mentality of a warrior. Next, everyone just needs to wait for the child to grow into a man who is stronger than his father Kong Wu.
The fire burned for three days, and everything finally turned to ashes.
The last bones of Veria were also turned into dust in the flames, all the ashes were mixed together, and they were all sent into the sea by the Ross people.
The cremation altar has completely disappeared, and a permanent temple is about to be built on the black ruins left by it, and this is something to follow.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The body of the saint will eventually be turned into ashes. Many people in this night recalled all the past about Veria, recalling everything the old priest had done for the tribe. They repeatedly kept vigil for Veria, knowing that it was dawn.
At dawn, the noise of Roseburg still awakened the entire tribe.

He claims that certain measures must be taken as soon as possible to bring a different starting point to the "post-Villa era".
At dawn, Otto wakes up early, his heart is full of sadness.
Niya tried to keep calm, but she inadvertently shed tears.

His son's face is serious, he doesn't seem to be talking nonsense. Niya almost instinctively discouraged: "Don't be delusional, that's a sanctuary. You can't do this."
"No! The long house of the priest is sacred because of Veria, and when she is dead, there is no meaning there."
"But..."
"Let him do it." Otto stopped his wife.
"You! Otto, have you two discussed it?"
"Yes, I will do it right away." Let's talk, Ruriek quickly ate the wheat cakes, stood up suddenly, and walked out of the house in the surprise of his mother and female relatives.

The final funeral is now finally ready to begin!
As many as ten reindeer sacrificed, they were stabbed to death one by one by Rurik holding a sword, and then the deer's body was dragged directly onto the ice. A group of strong men sculpted ice holes, letting all the deer blood flow into the ocean.
Lumia shouted under the gaze of as many as 8,000 pairs of eyes: "O God of the sea! Please accept our sacrifice! Let the human remains of Sperosville return to the sea!"
These reindeer are not dedicated to Odin, but to the ocean. As for the carcass of deer, it is natural to become food for people, especially as a treat for men who participate in sacrificial activities.
Lumia began to chant the ancient sacrificial prayers of the Rus tribe, and some elderly people finally realized that what the girl chanted was turned into a prayer dedicated to the death of a great man. People listened to Lumia's solo in silence, and then heard a large number of girls' chorus, especially the battle song "Holy War" by the Ross people. The battle hymn was sung to Odin! The Ross people firmly believe that one of Odin's incarnations is the sun.
At noon, Rurik washed his hands full of deer blood and stood on a high place. He held a flaming pine torch and shouted: "Rose! Our high priest Veria, used 80 Nian completed her sacred mission! Odin is her father, she was the Valkyrie, and now Odin has taken her away! Sperosville! Our Valkyrie! She is looking at us from the sky Action! Odin is watching our actions!"
"I! Leurik! I am also a descendant of Odin! I am your greatest leader, Odin shelters me invincible! Odin shelters me against the wind and snow and the heat! I will lead you to glory, all surrender Ross and those who have formed alliance with Ross will receive the honor of Odin's reward! Now, let me start a new era!"
At this point, the boys and girls began to yell at Ullah in a rhythmic manner in accordance with Rurik’s previous arrangement.
The voice of Ullah, Rurik is to use it as the unique Viking roar of the Rus.
Rurik endured the pain of his throat, approached the pyre with a tragic expression, and threw a torch~www.novelhall.com~ The flame touched the flammable seal oil and burned quickly, and the charcoal in the pyre was already infiltrated. After the grease was removed, a terrifying pillar of fire rushed into the sky almost for an instant.
Lurik felt the terrifying heat, and the onlookers retreated subconsciously. Rurik squinted and raised his head, watching Veria's body engulfed in yellow flames...
The flame shocked everyone, no matter whether everyone reacted or not, Rurik publicly announced that his era had officially arrived! The so-called Veria was chosen by Odin, and Rurik was second. Those who agree that Rurik is a sacred person, based on today's rituals, greatly strengthened their power of faith. As for the careerists, some people began to waver.
Lurik also didn't expect a group of guys who questioned his status to change their views quickly. He believed that at least those guys knew what ferociousness was.
His estimate is correct. The Ross people cannot tolerate that their leader is not a fierce and fierce warrior. Now everyone is soberly aware that although Rurik is still an immature child (less than twelve years old), he already has the mentality of a warrior. Next, everyone just needs to wait for the child to grow into a man who is stronger than his father Kong Wu.
The fire burned for three days, and everything finally turned to ashes.
The last bones of Veria were also turned into dust in the flames, all the ashes were mixed together, and they were all sent into the sea by the Ross people.
The cremation altar has completely disappeared, and a permanent temple is about to be built on the black ruins left by it, and this is something to follow.
The body of the saint will eventually be turned into ashes. Many people in this night recalled all the past about Veria, recalling everything the old priest had done for the tribe. They repeatedly kept vigil for Veria, knowing that it was dawn. At dawn, the noise of Roseburg still awakened the entire tribe.Lurik doesn't want to care about the rumors that are there for the time being. After all, he returns by himself, and any rumors are self-defeating. He must use some kind of tough means to deter the conspirators in the tribe, as well as some guys who are hiding deep. He claims that certain measures must be taken as soon as possible to bring a different starting point to the "post-Villa era". At dawn, Otto wakes up early, his heart is full of sadness.Niya tried to keep calm, but she inadvertently shed tears.Lurik had already woke up, staying at home with his parents, wives and concubines, eating jerky and oatmeal. Everyone remained silent until Rurik said astonishingly: "I want to take immediate action, and the sacrificial longhouse will be demolished today."Niya was taken aback: "What did you say?" "Take down the long house for worship." His son's face is serious, he doesn't seem to be talking nonsense. Niya almost instinctively discouraged: "Don't be delusional, that's a sanctuary. You can't do this." "No! The long house of the priest is sacred because of Veria, and when she is dead, there is no meaning there." "But..." "Let him do it." Otto stopped his wife. "You! Otto, have you two discussed it?" "Yes, I will do it right away." Let's talk, Ruriek quickly ate the wheat cakes, stood up suddenly, and walked out of the house in the surprise of his mother and female relatives.The outdoor temperature is still below freezing. Although it is approaching March, the ice on the sea does not seem to be thawed. People who dig ice to make breathing holes to catch seals and fish must still carefully use an axe to go after half a meter. Of ice. At this low temperature, a large number of people have appeared outdoors. Dressed in thick leather clothes and fluffy hats, they spontaneously moved to the long house of worship. Liurik brought the dignified mercenary men on guard to his mercenary camp, and ordered the sleeping mercenary fighters to assemble at a rapid speed. "Are everyone here? Jeflo, count it." After a while, Jeflo completed the statistical task, carefully reporting: "One hundred and fifty brothers are here.""Very good! You are all my confidants." Rurik shouted, "Bring an axe? Get some hemp rope? Go with me! Remember, what do I want you to do? What do you dare to refuse? If you are guilty, you will be killed!" Didn't the cold make everyone awake? On the contrary, it was a serious and terrifying command from Rlick, which made people's hearts beat faster.A mighty army went to worship the longhouse? All this happened under Otto's gaze and permission.There are people standing on both sides of the winding road? Everyone has a lot of different opinions, and I don't know what Master Rurik intends to move out of the army of mercenaries. The earth was trembling, and at this moment the priestesses in the chief priest's house noticed the abnormality. Lu Mia, she just guarded the gray body of Veria and knows now? She shed tears at the thought of the past few years.The body has been placed in the lobby of the longhouse? A large number of oil lamps are arranged around the body, which brings out a strong sense of ritual. The outdoors is very noisy. "Let's see, is the person carrying the body here?" She greeted casually, but Rurik hurriedly opened the curtain and entered. "Liurik, you are here!" Lumia immediately greeted her. "Is everything okay?" Rurik asked casually with a sullen face. "Everything is fine. The ceremony is about to begin?" "Yes! You guys..." Rurik looked around? solemnly ordered: "Lu Mia, are you coming over? Stand by my side. I now arrange for manpower to move all the things in the long house." "Ah? What are you...what are you going to do?" Lumia just felt inexplicable? Although the body was to be moved to the final cremation altar, should other objects be buried?Lurik sighed a long time? looked at Lumia sincerely: "This long house was built for Vilia? This is no longer sacred? There is no meaning. Now, I will tear it down." "Take it down?" Lumia looked wrong, and the other priests were at a loss.Rurik's words were not finished yet, as a group of mercenaries who rolled up their linen sleeves broke into this "sanctuary" with serious faces, the priestesses instantly understood that Rurik's words were true, and they began to criticize again. Mortals broke into the sanctuary."This is not sacred anymore! You women..." Rurik yelled, and pointed: "You priestesses, you have been assisting Vilia in serving Odin. Now Vilia is a Valkyrie, how about you ? You no longer need to continue to exist." After that, Rurik made a gesture, and Jeflo brought his men with a sharp blade and came aggressively. In fact, Rurik was thinking about dismissing these priestesses at first, but he later thought about it, and under Otto's hint, decided to kill the killer. They easily arrested all the ordinary priestesses present, grabbed them one by one with their arms, and pressed them to kneel on the ground. The priestesses wailed in horror. They were still struggling for forgiveness without knowing what had happened, but it was a pity that any struggle was meaningless. Lumia approached Rurik in a panic: "You! They...what are you going to do to them?"Lurik's eyes were extremely resolute. He didn't say a word, just stretched out his right fist to send out a "hands-on" signal. I saw the mercenary soldiers drew out hemp rope and hanged the priestess who was kneeling. "Oh! How could this be..." For a moment, Lumia's forehead was full of sweat. She looked into Rurik's eyes and begged: "Why kill them? They are priestesses! Today's ceremony...""I don't need them anymore!" Rurik suddenly held Lumia in his arms, grabbed her tightly, put his mouth to her ear, and whispered coldly: "You are our high priest, you It's my woman. You must lie next to me every night, not the long house of the priests. There will be no long house of the priests in the future! These priestesses and the whole long house must be buried for Veria! I I will re-appoint some new priestesses to be your assistants. I will build a permanent temple and build statues of gods. Now, close your eyes and don't think about anything." Of all the priestesses, only Palla survived. Of course, the woman was expelled by the hanged priestesses early, and it had nothing to do with the sacrificial group. She became a master at making soap and created a lot of wealth for her masters. For this kind of woman, Rurik will not only do no harm, but also continue to give important tasks. Seeing the terrifying death scene in front of him, Rurik's heart moved a little, and that was all. None of the summer priestesses in the longhouse survived. They were given a "bloodless execution" and lay down beside Veria's body one by one. This is one of the funerals of the Vikings. The leaders of some tribes died, and their female slaves were buried for them. In the same way, Rose's high priest has passed away. Why do her ordinary priests continue to live? "My lord, it's all done." Yevlo asked solemnly and somewhat fearfully, "What's next?" "Pick up these corpses with leather and carry them out, and then move all the coins. You have finished moving the things in the room, and wait for my order to demolish the house."The mercenaries have begun to act! Outdoor mercenaries lined up a wall to prevent the gathering of Ross people from walking around. The people had different opinions. They saw Master Rurik's men enter the long house. When they were surprised, they saw those people come out carrying some strange things. Do not! That is actually a human! It's a dead person! Those drooping braids are... People are shocked to realize that a large number of priestesses... are dead? The scene was very noisy at one time, but Otto was not surprised at all of this. He pushed away from the crowd and shouted: "Don't be surprised! These dead priestesses are willing to bury Vilia. Their souls have already entered Asgard, where they will continue to assist our Valkyrie! Sperosville!" Otto roared so, everyone's emotions calmed down a little bit. Suddenly someone questioned: "Where is our new high priest? Where is Lumia of Master Rurik?" At that time, Lumia wore a helmet with antlers and walked out of the long house of the priest, which was urgently to be demolished, with Veria's wooden staff inlaid with gems. She is much shorter than the average Rose woman, and her current height is exactly the same as that of Veria's life. Quite a few people were almost stunned, and a Veria was resurrected by mistake."I! High Priest Lumia, I will perform all the rituals today and in the future. All the new lower priests are born! I am the servant of Lord Rurik, and all the new lower priests are Rurik. Your servant!" Lumia has understood everything, she gladly accepted her brand new mission, and instantly lost her thoughts about this long house of the priest and everything in it. According to the words of Rurik assault teaching, she informally announced one thing to the people outdoors-all future sacrifices will only obey the order of the son of God, Rurik. The Ross tribe does have ambitious people, but this kind of people are very few. Most tribesmen, especially women whose husbands and sons died in the tribe, ordinary families, and orphans from all over the world, they fully support all of Rurik's propositions and hope that Lord Rurik will control greater power and wealth. , So that you can drink more soup. They watched in astonishment as the remains of the priestess who was buried were removed, and then they looked at the large number of suitcases with money.Lurik personally held that precious sheepskin book, which is a "Roman Sacred Relic", even if its title is "Exodus". In addition, all the wooden documents engraved on the past of the Ross people were **** with twine and carried out.Lurik finally appeared. No one noticed the book he was holding. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at the holy artifacts raised by the eight people behind! is the remains of Veria! Otto gave an order: "To our High Priest of Veria, kneel down!" The Ross people, both men and women, knelt on one knee, and Otto also greeted him and became the coffin carrier of Veria. This dead tree-like old woman did her best for the Ross tribe. At this moment, she was lying peacefully on the wooden bed, covered with a snow-white polar bear skin, just like the world around her and the frozen sea, a piece of whiteness. The team slowly walked towards the towering cremation altar, and all the Ross people along the way had knelt and bid farewell to the sacred corpse of Veria. The fat businessman Gould kneeled down with his family. The Hotla family and his friends knelt down. The Fodegan family, the owner of the tailor's workshop, knelt down. A large number of businessmen knelt down. There are also the old Eric family from Denmark and the travelers from the Balmerk tribe who came from afar. They were guests and knelt down for Rose's passing high priest. Their kneeling came from the bottom of their hearts, such as Bijuni, but he learned that the high priest of Rose had died at the age of eighty, and he immediately believed the fact that the high priest had ascended to heaven and became a Valkyrie. In Bijuni's concept, no mortal can live to be eighty years old, so the old woman lifted by the Duke of Rose himself must be truly sacred. The long house of the priest has become empty, all useful things have been removed, and the rest is demolition work.In the end, the Rus people voluntarily followed this order. They brought all kinds of tools and quickly turned the old longhouse into ruins. A lot of old building wood will be turned into fuel for the wooden platform, only the fifty-odd oak beams that have collapsed on the roof! The largest and most important oak beam among them, Rurik did not hesitate to use it as the keel of a new ship. The golden light of the sun sprinkled on the entire white world. In the days when Rick was no longer a clan, Clavassen's blacksmith shop allowed Lilia to continue to make some dark lenses while she was breastfeeding. Now, the two hundred Ross people put on sunglasses, and the sunlight on the snow no longer dazzled their eyes. They stayed in front of the pile of wood for a long time. are them too. These people wearing sunglasses assisted Rurik's elite mercenaries to move the remains of the lower priestess who was buried with them to the pyre. At this moment, they saw the ferocious face of the priestess and the severe scars on her neck. They are not willing, but killed! Who did it? Otto must have ordered it. . But, this is their fate! Sooner or later they will be buried with Villa. Finally, Veria's body was placed on the top of the pyre, and then a large amount of seal grease was burned hot and began to sprinkle on the pyre at the bottom of the table on a large scale. In order to make the burning faster and more full, Ruriek can only do this. This is a large-scale cremation, burning the deceased to ashes, and it will take one day and one night at the earliest. Rurik only hopes to end this soon... The sun is finally about to rise to the right sky, and the occasion of the sacrifice is now. The high priest Lumia appeared wearing a antler helmet, and the so-called lower priestesses who followed were actually a group of girls? ! Do not! These girls wear unique silver jewelry, and each silver jewelry hung on the chest is inlaid with a different gold heraldry. Everyone knows where they are inferior priestesses. This is a group of slaves that Otto got from Novgorod and gave them to Rurik. Now they are the wives and concubines of Lord Rurik. Lu Mia has the largest silver jewellery. People with a discerning eye can see that this short woman has an extremely noble position among wives and concubines, and she is also the new high priest. After a while, more children appeared! A large number of boys are holding "spears", they actually hold a very long wooden stick, each stick is tied with a white cloth. They are children who have been trained and provided by Rurik, and they are also future warriors who are loyal to Rurik. Farewell to the high priest Veria will be a special trial in their lives. They lined up in the neat team during training, all in one suit, lined up one after another in a matrix, standing around the wooden platform, and the absolute orderliness greatly strengthened the seriousness of the ceremony.Another group of girls appeared. Two hundred girls around the age of ten were all dressed in white. They tied white cloth strips to their foreheads, each carrying a bow tied with white cloth strips, and the hemp rope around their waists hung a quiver and a bag. There are a few arrows stuck in it. The final funeral is now finally ready to begin! As many as ten reindeer sacrificed, they were stabbed to death one by one by Rurik holding a sword, and then the deer's body was dragged directly onto the ice. A group of strong men sculpted ice holes, letting all the deer blood flow into the ocean. Lumia shouted under the gaze of as many as 8,000 pairs of eyes: "O God of the sea! Please accept our sacrifice! Let the human remains of Sperosville return to the sea!" These reindeer are not dedicated to Odin, but to the ocean. As for the carcass of deer, it is natural to become food for people, especially as a treat for men who participate in sacrificial activities. Lumia began to chant the ancient sacrificial prayers of the Rus tribe, and some elderly people finally realized that what the girl chanted was turned into a prayer dedicated to the death of a great man. People listened to Lumia's solo in silence, and then heard a large number of girls' chorus, especially the battle song "Holy War" by the Ross people. The battle hymn was sung to Odin! The Ross people firmly believe that one of Odin's incarnations is the sun.At noon, Rurik washed his hands full of deer blood and stood on a high place. He held a flaming pine torch and shouted: "Rose! Our high priest Veria, used 80 Nian completed her sacred mission! Odin is her father, she was the Valkyrie, and now Odin has taken her away!
