  Under the glow of the northern lights, Otto urgently summoned those who followed him, and everyone gathered around the largest bonfire for a special meeting.

   Otto is still as high-spirited as ever, and his image by the flames is also shining.

"Brothers, our people need more wealth. Now I have an idea that we will no longer go straight to the north, we will run towards the northeast. There is an area that we have never set foot in, and there must be more deer there. . I decided to go there, would you like to follow?!"

  The problem is so straightforward, everyone has to think about the leader's suggestion.

   Someone questioned it unexpectedly.

   A young man yelled: "What if we are in danger?"

   "Oh? Are you afraid of bears?"

"No! I'm afraid of blizzards! I have never been there. I don't know what hills or streams there are. Everything there is unknown. Great leader, the daylight in the future will be shorter and shorter. Once we are in Lost in the ice and snow, the result will be a disaster."

   This question represented the worry of many people, and the crowd suddenly became noisy.

   Someone echoed loudly: "Yeah! If it's summer, we can explore the end of the world in the north. It's too cold now. The days of the day are very short. We shouldn't take risks like this."

   "Forget it! You are afraid of freezing to death! Are you a coward? Your wife is still waiting for you to carry a deer back."

   "But it's still too dangerous to run to the northeast."

   The quarrel in the crowd has already occurred. If you condone such quarrels, the problem cannot be solved immediately.

   There is actually only one way before Otto, because he himself is determined to explore the northeast direction.

   The vast earth is full of unknowns, and the masses will rely on the light of Aurora in the sky to move forward.

   Because it is full of unknowns, it is full of opportunities.

   This year’s Otto has experienced a lot of gratifying things, and this year’s Ross tribe has obviously begun a huge change. He believes that this is a change of great historical significance to the future of the tribe, not only because the tribe accepts foreign women as wives and is generally accepted by everyone, but also because his son continues to show amazing talents.

   Otto only hates that he is old. If he is lying in his own home, his life will be full of regrets.

   all the way north

   He thought of many things. When he was young, he used the same way every winter to pull sledges on snowboards and hunt a large number of wild animals in the north.

   The Ross tribe does not have the experience of traveling long distances to the northeast, which is an unknown territory for the tribe.

   Otto stomped his feet, and with his thick and hoarse voice, he yelled, and the noisy crowd suddenly calmed down.

   The crowd has been divided into two factions. One faction intends to explore the northeast direction. As for the danger, it is life and death. The other faction is trying to be stable. They only hope to bring back a huge prey to make exquisite barbecue, so as to spend a wonderful Hanukkah, thereby offsetting the large amount of food and wine consumed by the carnival after the collective wedding. .

   "Be quiet! Brothers! Listen to me now! I hope the team will move northeast from tomorrow. I am not afraid of any danger, because!"

Otto deliberately drew out his gem-studded saber and pointed it at Tianyu: "I heard some of you worry about your safety. Is this what a real warrior should say? Look up at the sky. It's a parade of Valkyrie. Traces, the Valkyrie is looking at us! Those who are afraid of danger, please worry about your future. The Valkyrie is disappointed because of your cowardice. Now you have only one way to prove your bravery, and that is to follow me!"

   In the ninth century AD, the people of Europa were not well established.

   Otto's remarks of faith based on myths fully silenced the cowardly.

   But the so-called cowardice is suitable for cleaning up.

Those who have the courage to join in are brave, and each of them has their own family. Hunting north in winter is not a "proving their bravery to the Valkyrie". They are very realistic hopes of getting fur and a lot of meat. Just for a better life in the future.

   An excellent leader must use his own wisdom and power to make his people full of awe for certain things, and in the same way, he must be able to fully stimulate their desire for wealth and happiness.

   Otto plainly believes that the public believes that following oneself will be able to get a lot of wealth, his position is the most stable, and even some non-discriminatory requests to them can be tolerated.

   Now, I need to show them a wonderful picture.

   "Brothers, don't be afraid! Now you have to think about what may be in the northeast! There may be a large number of deer there, and we can even meet those who raise deer."

When    mentioned "deer breeders", the nerves of many older people in the team were stirred.

   Although the Ross tribe has made a home in the far north, the older people really know that they are not the complete masters of this area.

   There are many Finn tribes in the east of Roseburg. The relationship between the Ross and those Finns is very delicate.

  Sometimes, some people organize spontaneously, cross the bay with axes and spears, and land on the opposite shore to find the Fen tribe to trade. In fact, it's not so much trade, it's better to say that these Ross people are just looking at the dishes.

  The Fen tribe encountered, they are stronger than themselves, so they do business honestly, and use silver or copper coins to buy their furs and some hemp textiles.

   If you encounter a clearly weak person, then you don’t need to do business. Pick up your battle axe and looting, and then leave quickly.

Therefore, the Rus tribe and the Finnish tribes have never established any stable trade relations, and even the outbreak of conflict is the most common mode of getting along. Among them, the Rus tribe, a member of the Vikings, is always the initiator of the attack. There is also no sense of guilt to do so.

The "deer breeders" mentioned by   Otto are another group of people. The older people of the tribe still hear some ancient memories from their parents.

For example, there are legends claiming that Roseburg was once the home of deer breeders. Those deer breeders tried to resist in vain, abandoning their deer herd and ran away~www.novelhall.com~ disappeared into the vast snow in the north. .

   No one knows where those people have gone, maybe they have reached the northern end of the world? !

   After all, the life-long worldview of the civilians of the Ross tribe is based on those ancient legends. The so-called human world is a piece of land on a disk lifted by the world tree. The more it goes north, the colder it gets.

   Otto did not hesitate to portray a "big pie" that made these bearded people irresistible.

"For a long time we have never met a deer breeder. Maybe they have reached the end of the world and fell into the abyss beyond the world tree. But before I set off, I asked our priest Veria. Veria told me that those The deer breeders hide at the end of the world because they believe that we cannot go that far.

   But we shouldn’t expect to meet the deer breeders and the indescribable huge herd of deer they raise. As long as we encounter them, those deer are ours! Together with those who raise deer, they can all become our servants.

   Don’t worry if we haven’t encountered it. We never traveled to the northeast, where there must be a large number of ferrets, forest cats, and deer in the woods. We can even find the white bear's hole.

   You don’t have to worry about your identity. The priest clearly told me that if we dare to go to the northeast, we must return to our home with a large number of treasures before Hanukkah.

   Brothers, think about the praise your wives and children have given you, and think about the great exploration you will make.

   Does anyone else object to it now? ! "

   Everyone, their eyes trembled unconsciously. Everyone remained calm in excitement, and as one of them finally couldn't help but roared with excitement, the crowd plunged into a boil.

   There is no more dispute, Otto looked at everyone with satisfaction, full of hope for the future.
