The priests gritted their teeth and stirred the soap just right. Everything was the same as last night. The 35 wooden boxes were filled with soap.
At this point, the priests dragged their bodies to rest, and Rurik should fulfill the promise and go home.
He changed into thick clothes, and under Bona’s delivery, walked on the snow to his home.
tucked into the leather pockets of historical linen, the silver coins inside are clinking.
"Hey, Rurik, we made a new soap, can the boss sell it soon?" Bona asked.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
"Want more silver coins?"
"Of course, we all want to be rich."
"Then try your best to make it. My father can easily sell what you made. Don't be too tired. Take a rest after a few days of work. Don't worry about grazing. Lumia, my servant Would be stupid enough to run away."
Liurik said a lot of things that Bona was worried about with a small mouth, to comfort her.
Suddenly, he stopped again.
"What's the matter with you? Reulic?" Bona stopped to question.
"I'll give you a little gift, please stretch out your hand."
Bona didn't think much, she watched the child put her hand into the leather jacket, and soon took out a silver coin.
"Huh? Is this... in line with the contract you signed with us?" Reasonably told Bona that maybe he shouldn't take the money alone.
"Just accept it, it's a personal gift from me personally. The soap matter is more concerned than the rest of you, I can see it clearly."
Lurik thought of many long-term things. The father and the high priest's life expectancy was almost reaching the limit. At that time, Bona would succeed the high priest, and she should naturally become the leader.
The alliance of priests and leaders needs to continue.
Leurik heard some unfavorable remarks against Bona, the high priest Velia criticized her for not studying her homework well, and others criticized her.
Is there something wrong with her? Of course she has.
Lurik can feel that all the lower priests are very sensitive to money, and this Bona is the most sensitive.
She loves money, so the problem becomes very easy. This woman has no relatives. Maybe she feels that her future backer is either the new leader or the wealth she holds.
Use money to buy the future high priest Bona. The relationship has deepened from now on, and then continued to give her some coins. So after doing this for a few years, he grew up at that time and of course can exercise full control over the priesthood.
Maybe this matter is very important. If you can't control the priest, you might still be controlled by the priest.
"You can hold it well. We can be good friends. In the future, I hope that you will not do more and you will get more silver coins and will never treat you badly."
Listen, is this something a seven-year-old kid can say?
Bona couldn't control so much, she readily agreed after receiving the money.
In this way, the alliance between the future leader and the future high priest began the initial conclusion. For both parties, this alliance is an obvious win-win.
"Liurik, let's stop here." Bona said at last.
"Please go back, too. Tomorrow you will all have a good rest and wait until your arms are no longer sore, then continue making."
In the era without industrial machinery, all steps of making soap depended on human strength. Even if the windmill and waterwheel are made using existing technology, its work efficiency is not so outstanding.
Modern society is built on large-scale production of modern science and technology, and the Rus tribe can't expect them at all, and they don't even realize it.
Besides, the current soap production of the tribe was initially monopolized by the priests.
If a group of brawny men with bursting arm muscles because of frequent paddles are recruited to be workers who stir soap, the work efficiency will naturally increase, and even the priests will not be able to obtain considerable income.
"Let's do this for now, and consider the development of soap in the future." Rurik thought for a while, and then entered the house.
"I'm back." He opened the wooden door and opened the warm leather curtain.
"Come in quickly and sit down with me." Seeing her son, Niya quickly patted the skin of the animal sitting under her.
Lurik walked over naturally, nestled in the arms of his biological mother, and the warmth was undoubtedly evident.
How precious is this warm scene!
Lumia followed Otto back, and Niya's attitude towards the little girl really changed. Since the priest said that she had obtained Odin's permission to become a member of the Ross tribe, it did not mean that she got rid of her status as a slave.
Niya doesn't want to put on the image of a terrible old woman in front of her husband and son, and it is impossible for her to really show love to you Niya like a daughter.
A servant is just doing work.
Lurik was forced to be crooked in his mother's arms for a while to please her.
As soon as he walked in, he was looking for Lumia at first sight, for fear that his parents would treat her badly. Unexpectedly, it's okay, Lu Mia now looks like a professional tailor.
"Mom, do you let Lumia sew? You gave her our steel needle. It seems that you are relieved of her."
Niya nodded, "I asked her to repair your father's leather hat. She can sew, and the craftsmanship is okay."
Here Lumia is boring, she doesn't want to say anything in a cautious manner.
Lurik can understand her restraint. She lived in her own long house several times before.
is that Rurik felt very new today, he suddenly asked: "Lu Mia, when did you learn to tailor? Maybe you...you can make clothes yourself."
"I..." Lumia raised her head slightly. The question was her owner's question. She was very happy to answer, "I learned before that we all make clothes by ourselves. We use deerskin, we use linen."
Lumia’s "we" refers to her family when she was a former Sami, Rurik thought for a while, she should indeed learn this as a ten-year-old girl.
Because she can only learn this first, and then how to raise deer for herding.
After talking, Lumia hooked her head wittily and continued her work. Rurik watched for a while, knocking on her skillful movements to know that this girl had not sewn clothes less before.
It is estimated that all stitches were used for sewing. The material is not good, and the harder leather requires great strength and skill to pierce. If steel needles are used, there is no problem in this regard. Although steel needles are small, it is a huge profit to sell them to people who do not make them.
Niya still holds her son in her arms, for fear that this magical stinky boy ran back to the priest's long house.
She asked: "My child, you made a lot of silver coins this time. Do you keep the money at home? Do you need a wooden box?"
"Of course!" The mother mentioned this, and Rurik quickly took out the pocket full of silver coins. "That's it, you have to keep it for me."
"Being my child, we will only help you till now, and you must keep your own money when you grow up."
"Of course. Haha, the silver coins I have piled up into mountains need to be taken care of!" Rurik deliberately beat up haha.
"Smelly boy, do you still want a silver mountain?" With a smile, Niya intimately pinched her son's small face as if she was stroking a kitten. The feeling on her hand was really good.
Otto suddenly muttered, "Maybe it's possible."
"A silver mountain?" Niya asked.
"Why not?" Otto stretched out his right hand and pointed to a pack of silver, "He is a born businessman, and his silver coins will increase in the future. I am afraid that this year, our box will not fit."
"This...really?" Niya opened her eyes wide.
As a wife, Niya wants to manage her husband’s property, because that is all of his family’s property. A large number of silver coins and a few gold coins prove wealth.
Otto continued: "I still need to find a carpenter and make a big box for Rurik to put down his silver mountain. I also need to find him a beautiful woman to take care of the silver mountain for him."
When his father said something very sensitive, Rurik cheered up.
He suddenly said: "Dad, do I really need a woman to manage my money?"
"Of course, this is tradition."
"That's good." Lurik smiled and stared at Lumia who was still sewing her clothes, "A woman, I choose Lumia."
Childish words without restraint? As soon as this remark came out, Rurik's parents were stunned on the spot, and the scene instantly became stiff. Together with Lu Mia, the movements of her hands also stopped.
"Why...what's wrong with this? There is a problem with my decision?"
"You!" Niya pinched her son's chin again, her big eyes and stiff face fully showed her surprise, "My child, do you like this woman? Are you really planning to marry her?"
The mother's words were so abrupt, and now it was Rurik's turn to be shocked.
Lumia was also shocked. Her hands were trembling. Think about how well Rurik treats herself these days. A master cares too much about a servant. Doesn't he ask for anything else?
Is the so-called request a marriage contract?
Lumia dare not say a word, she knows she has no right to speak.
"Me? Why would I marry her!?" Facing the sharp eyes of his parents, Rurik explained quickly, "Do I want her to manage my financial belongings, so I want to marry her?"
"Isn't it? Even if you are the leader, your belongings are also taken care of by your wife. We are like this, and that is the wife's obligation." Niya explained solemnly.
Lurik thinks about it carefully, the people of the tribe seem to live like this, but this concept is too simple and original.
The tribe needs further development, and the leader must consider hiring people to take care of their wealth. A big family will have a professional housekeeper, a company will also have a professional accountant, let alone a gradually developing political entity.
Now, there are some important things that you must make solemn declarations.
Lurik said loudly: "I don't want to marry her as a wife, but she is my servant and someone I trust. I will marry a wife in the future. Before that, my money needs her to help take care of it."
"But is this inappropriate?" Niya wondered, "There hasn't been such a thing before."
Liurik had an idea, "It is there now. No kid can make a lot of money before. I did it. The money is mine, and the money is getting more and more!"
His words became more and more excited, "I also promised to give her a gift, what do you think I gave her?" First posted https://https://
"Is it her promise to take care of your money?" Otto asked suddenly.
"No, but it has something to do with money. Lumia, don't be nervous anymore, raise your head and look at me."
Lu Mia is not nervous? How could it be possible! She had just speculated that Rurik had special feelings for herself.
Because even in the ancient Sami community, the marriage age of the tribe is very early. It is said that the ancients did not have adolescence, and the situation in the world in this time and space is similar.
Lumia is not a fool, she knows this.
She originally thought that she would marry another deer-raising family, have some children, and spend her life peacefully in a very cold place. She never thought that she would be taken away by the Varangas and become a servant.
Is there a chance to be the wife of the future leader? It's crazy. What if that becomes a fact?
is obviously impractical, but it makes sense to manage the property for the owner? Isn’t it also incredible?
Under the eyes of everyone, Rurik's little hand reached into his pocket, took out a stack of silver coins at random, looked at Lumia's eyes, and solemnly said: "Lumia, you have done a lot about making soap. Maybe you think you are Being a servant, you cannot get paid like those priests. Now I will pay you. You deserve these silver coins."
"What? You!" Otto was taken aback. The so-called servant, Lumia is the property of her own son, but there is a reason to give her property to the servant.
It is true that Otto’s conception is that he cannot accept his son’s decision which is horrifying.
Niya also persuaded, "My child, it's enough. You don't need to give her money, she's just a servant."
The reason for the parents’ objection is too absurd. Isn’t the servant counted as a human?
Yes, Rurik guesses that his parents think so, and this concept is spread throughout the tribal alliance.
I told myself that a child babbled some great truths with one mouth. It is impossible to change this backward concept in an instant. The tribe needs time to become civilized.
He can't change everyone for the time being, at least from his own home.
Lurik stood up suddenly, walked straight into Lumia, and stood in front of her.
He is holding the money bag in his right hand and the girl's arm in his left hand.
This move seems to be saying that the two are in an alliance.
"I just want to give her something. The first fifteen pieces of soap were the last work she did. She was almost exhausted to vomit blood. According to the standard of silver coins for the priest, she had to get at least three. Since mom and dad you think this is incredible, Then change it."
Lurik also had an idea, because silver is silver, and when it is melted, it can be made into various things, such as silver bowls. The value of silver has not changed significantly. At most one additional processing fee?
Pure silver has a low melting point and is easy to achieve by melting and casting silverware. The only consideration is how to obtain a large amount of silver.
"Dad." He looked at his father Otto, "I want to give her a gift. I want to make her a silver ornament. I will use the silver coin in my hand to melt it and make her a necklace. What do you think?"
"This..." Seeing his son's determined eyes, Otto did not want to be overbearing. Because the son has made a concession.
Silver is silver, but when it is melted into jewelry, the situation becomes a little different. Because once the jewelry is made, basically no one will use it as a medium of transaction, unless it is easy to cast Chen He silver coins.
The problem is that the recast silver coin needs to have Roman stamps, and the textiles must be highly similar, otherwise ordinary merchants will be very suspicious that lead is deliberately added to the recast silver coin to be shoddy.
Otto shrugged, and he pulled his wife to indicate that he would not object.
Furthermore, Otto suddenly remembered something that he needed to lead his son Rylik to finish him in recent days.
"Then make her a silver jewellery." Otto sighed, "Rurik, as long as you don't regret your decision. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
"I will never regret it," Rurik said with confidence.
"Well, I can find a good blacksmith to make a good pendant inlaid with amber for her. You can also engrave some inscriptions. It seems that she is your servant."
"Huh? Blacksmiths can still make jewelry?" Rurik was very happy with the change in his parents' attitude. Now he feels fresh about blacksmithing.
"Nothing is strange." Otto deliberately showed his son the ruby on the hilt of his precious sword. "Look at this, the inlaid gems are also plated with silver. Tomorrow I will take you and your servants to the blacksmith. That's it!"
"Ah! So fast." Rurik was overjoyed.
"It's not just this matter, but the main thing is to order you an iron sword. You have to understand that since you have money, you will pay the deposit and the balance of the iron sword. For the father, today I will give you a chance to be independent. ."
Lurik nodded deeply.
"And your servant's pendant, you also pay for the cost of making it. You can even ask the blacksmith to decorate you with gems, but you pay more. I think you are happy to dress your servant. Your child is indeed different. ."
Liulik listen, the blacksmiths of the tribe are really complex talents. Can a blacksmith be a silversmith, jeweller, or gem expert?
What kind of talent are these! Such people exist in the tribe?
Before Rurik didn't care about these at all, now he has to pay attention.
If I have contact with these magical blacksmiths, I am not sure I will ask them to do more for myself.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

My father can easily sell what you made. Don't be too tired. Take a rest after a few days of work. Don't worry about grazing. Lumia, my servant Would be stupid enough to run away." Liurik said a lot of things that Bona was worried about with a small mouth, to comfort her. Suddenly, he stopped again. "What's the matter with you? Reulic?" Bona stopped to question. "I'll give you a little gift, please stretch out your hand." Bona didn't think much, she watched the child put her hand into the leather jacket, and soon took out a silver coin. "Huh? Is this... in line with the contract you signed with us?" Reasonably told Bona that maybe he shouldn't take the money alone. "Just accept it, it's a personal gift from me personally. The soap matter is more concerned than the rest of you, I can see it clearly."Lurik thought of many long-term things. The father and the high priest's life expectancy was almost reaching the limit. At that time, Bona would succeed the high priest, and she should naturally become the leader.The alliance of priests and leaders needs to continue. Leurik heard some unfavorable remarks against Bona, the high priest Velia criticized her for not studying her homework well, and others criticized her. Is there something wrong with her? Of course she has.Lurik can feel that all the lower priests are very sensitive to money, and this Bona is the most sensitive. She loves money, so the problem becomes very easy. This woman has no relatives. Maybe she feels that her future backer is either the new leader or the wealth she holds.Use money to buy the future high priest Bona. The relationship has deepened from now on, and then continued to give her some coins. So after doing this for a few years, he grew up at that time and of course can exercise full control over the priesthood. Maybe this matter is very important. If you can't control the priest, you might still be controlled by the priest. "You can hold it well. We can be good friends. In the future, I hope that you will not do more and you will get more silver coins and will never treat you badly."Listen, is this something a seven-year-old kid can say? Bona couldn't control so much, she readily agreed after receiving the money.In this way, the alliance between the future leader and the future high priest began the initial conclusion. For both parties, this alliance is an obvious win-win. "Liurik, let's stop here." Bona said at last. "Please go back, too. Tomorrow you will all have a good rest and wait until your arms are no longer sore, then continue making."In the era without industrial machinery, all steps of making soap depended on human strength. Even if the windmill and waterwheel are made using existing technology, its work efficiency is not so outstanding.Modern society is built on large-scale production of modern science and technology, and the Rus tribe can't expect them at all, and they don't even realize it. Besides, the current soap production of the tribe was initially monopolized by the priests. If a group of brawny men with bursting arm muscles because of frequent paddles are recruited to be workers who stir soap, the work efficiency will naturally increase, and even the priests will not be able to obtain considerable income. "Let's do this for now, and consider the development of soap in the future." Rurik thought for a while, and then entered the house. "I'm back." He opened the wooden door and opened the warm leather curtain. "Come in quickly and sit down with me." Seeing her son, Niya quickly patted the skin of the animal sitting under her.Lurik walked over naturally, nestled in the arms of his biological mother, and the warmth was undoubtedly evident. How precious is this warm scene! Lumia followed Otto back, and Niya's attitude towards the little girl really changed. Since the priest said that she had obtained Odin's permission to become a member of the Ross tribe, it did not mean that she got rid of her status as a slave.Niya doesn't want to put on the image of a terrible old woman in front of her husband and son, and it is impossible for her to really show love to you Niya like a daughter.A servant is just doing work.Lurik was forced to be crooked in his mother's arms for a while to please her. As soon as he walked in, he was looking for Lumia at first sight, for fear that his parents would treat her badly. Unexpectedly, it's okay, Lu Mia now looks like a professional tailor. "Mom, do you let Lumia sew? You gave her our steel needle. It seems that you are relieved of her."Niya nodded, "I asked her to repair your father's leather hat. She can sew, and the craftsmanship is okay." Here Lumia is boring, she doesn't want to say anything in a cautious manner.Lurik can understand her restraint. She lived in her own long house several times before. is that Rurik felt very new today, he suddenly asked: "Lu Mia, when did you learn to tailor? Maybe you...you can make clothes yourself." "I..." Lumia raised her head slightly. The question was her owner's question. She was very happy to answer, "I learned before that we all make clothes by ourselves. We use deerskin, we use linen." Lumia's "we" refers to her family when she was a former Sami, Rurik thought for a while, she should indeed learn this as a ten-year-old girl. Because she can only learn this first, and then how to raise deer for herding. After talking, Lumia hooked her head wittily and continued her work. Rurik watched for a while, knocking on her skillful movements to know that this girl had not sewn clothes less before. It is estimated that all stitches were used for sewing. The material is not good, and the harder leather requires great strength and skill to pierce. If steel needles are used, there is no problem in this regard. Although steel needles are small, it is a huge profit to sell them to people who do not make them.Niya still holds her son in her arms, for fear that this magical stinky boy ran back to the priest's long house. She asked: "My child, you made a lot of silver coins this time. Do you keep the money at home? Do you need a wooden box?" "Of course!" The mother mentioned this, and Rurik quickly took out the pocket full of silver coins. "That's it, you have to keep it for me." "Being my child, we will only help you till now, and you must keep your own money when you grow up." "Of course. Haha, the silver coins I have piled up into mountains need to be taken care of!" Rurik deliberately beat up haha. "Smelly boy, do you still want a silver mountain?" With a smile, Niya intimately pinched her son's small face as if she was stroking a kitten. The feeling on her hand was really good. Otto suddenly muttered, "Maybe it's possible." "A silver mountain?" Niya asked. "Why not?" Otto stretched out his right hand and pointed to a pack of silver, "He is a born businessman, and his silver coins will increase in the future. I am afraid that this year, our box will not fit." "This...really?" Niya opened her eyes wide.As a wife, Niya wants to manage her husband's property, because that is all of his family's property. A large number of silver coins and a few gold coins prove wealth. Otto continued: "I still need to find a carpenter and make a big box for Rurik to put down his silver mountain. I also need to find him a beautiful woman to take care of the silver mountain for him." When his father said something very sensitive, Rurik cheered up. He suddenly said: "Dad, do I really need a woman to manage my money?" "Of course, this is tradition." "That's good." Lurik smiled and stared at Lumia who was still sewing her clothes, "A woman, I choose Lumia." Childish words without restraint? As soon as this remark came out, Rurik's parents were stunned on the spot, and the scene instantly became stiff. Together with Lu Mia, the movements of her hands also stopped. "Why...what's wrong with this? There is a problem with my decision?" "You!" Niya pinched her son's chin again, her big eyes and stiff face fully showed her surprise, "My child, do you like this woman? Are you really planning to marry her?" The mother's words were so abrupt, and now it was Rurik's turn to be shocked.Lumia was also shocked. Her hands were trembling. Think about how well Rurik treats herself these days. A master cares too much about a servant. Doesn't he ask for anything else? Is the so-called request a marriage contract? Lumia dare not say a word, she knows she has no right to speak. "Me? Why would I marry her!?" Facing the sharp eyes of his parents, Rurik explained quickly, "Do I want her to manage my financial belongings, so I want to marry her?" "Isn't it? Even if you are the leader, your belongings are also taken care of by your wife. We are like this, and that is the wife's obligation." Niya explained solemnly.Lurik thinks about it carefully, the people of the tribe seem to live like this, but this concept is too simple and original. The tribe needs further development, and the leader must consider hiring people to take care of their wealth. A big family will have a professional housekeeper, a company will also have a professional accountant, let alone a gradually developing political entity. Now, there are some important things that you must make solemn declarations.Lurik said loudly: "I don't want to marry her as a wife, but she is my servant and someone I trust. I will marry a wife in the future. Before that, my money needs her to help take care of it." "But is this inappropriate?" Niya wondered, "There hasn't been such a thing before."Liurik had an idea, "It is there now. No kid can make a lot of money before. I did it. The money is mine, and the money is getting more and more!" His words became more and more excited, "I also promised to give her a gift, what do you think I gave her?" First posted https://https:// "Is it her promise to take care of your money?" Otto asked suddenly. "No, but it has something to do with money. Lumia, don't be nervous anymore, raise your head and look at me." Lu Mia is not nervous? How could it be possible! She had just speculated that Rurik had special feelings for herself. Because even in the ancient Sami community, the marriage age of the tribe is very early. It is said that the ancients did not have adolescence, and the situation in the world in this time and space is similar. Lumia is not a fool, she knows this. She originally thought that she would marry another deer-raising family, have some children, and spend her life peacefully in a very cold place. She never thought that she would be taken away by the Varangas and become a servant.Is there a chance to be the wife of the future leader? It's crazy. What if that becomes a fact? is obviously impractical, but it makes sense to manage the property for the owner? Isn't it also incredible?Under the eyes of everyone, Rurik's little hand reached into his pocket, took out a stack of silver coins at random, looked at Lumia's eyes, and solemnly said: "Lumia, you have done a lot about making soap. Maybe you think you are Being a servant, you cannot get paid like those priests. Now I will pay you. You deserve these silver coins." "What? You!" Otto was taken aback. The so-called servant, Lumia is the property of her own son, but there is a reason to give her property to the servant. It is true that Otto's conception is that he cannot accept his son's decision which is horrifying.Niya also persuaded, "My child, it's enough. You don't need to give her money, she's just a servant." The reason for the parents' objection is too absurd. Isn't the servant counted as a human? Yes, Rurik guesses that his parents think so, and this concept is spread throughout the tribal alliance. I told myself that a child babbled some great truths with one mouth. It is impossible to change this backward concept in an instant. The tribe needs time to become civilized. He can't change everyone for the time being, at least from his own home.Lurik stood up suddenly, walked straight into Lumia, and stood in front of her. He is holding the money bag in his right hand and the girl's arm in his left hand. This move seems to be saying that the two are in an alliance."I just want to give her something. The first fifteen pieces of soap were the last work she did. She was almost exhausted to vomit blood. According to the standard of silver coins for the priest, she had to get at least three. Since mom and dad you think this is incredible, Then change it."Lurik also had an idea, because silver is silver, and when it is melted, it can be made into various things, such as silver bowls. The value of silver has not changed significantly. At most one additional processing fee?Pure silver has a low melting point and is easy to achieve by melting and casting silverware. The only consideration is how to obtain a large amount of silver. "Dad." He looked at his father Otto, "I want to give her a gift. I want to make her a silver ornament. I will use the silver coin in my hand to melt it and make her a necklace. What do you think?" "This..." Seeing his son's determined eyes, Otto did not want to be overbearing. Because the son has made a concession.Silver is silver, but when it is melted into jewelry, the situation becomes a little different. Because once the jewelry is made, basically no one will use it as a medium of transaction, unless it is easy to cast Chen He silver coins.The problem is that the recast silver coin needs to have Roman stamps, and the textiles must be highly similar, otherwise ordinary merchants will be very suspicious that lead is deliberately added to the recast silver coin to be shoddy. Otto shrugged, and he pulled his wife to indicate that he would not object.Furthermore, Otto suddenly remembered something that he needed to lead his son Rylik to finish him in recent days. "Then make her a silver jewellery." Otto sighed, "Rurik, as long as you don't regret your decision. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" "I will never regret it," Rurik said with confidence. "Well, I can find a good blacksmith to make a good pendant inlaid with amber for her. You can also engrave some inscriptions. It seems that she is your servant." "Huh? Blacksmiths can still make jewelry?" Rurik was very happy with the change in his parents' attitude. Now he feels fresh about blacksmithing. "Nothing is strange." Otto deliberately showed his son the ruby on the hilt of his precious sword. "Look at this, the inlaid gems are also plated with silver. Tomorrow I will take you and your servants to the blacksmith. That's it!" "Ah! So fast." Rurik was overjoyed."It's not just this matter, but the main thing is to order you an iron sword. You have to understand that since you have money, you will pay the deposit and the balance of the iron sword. For the father, today I will give you a chance to be independent. ."Lurik nodded deeply."And your servant's pendant, you also pay for the cost of making it. You can even ask the blacksmith to decorate you with gems, but you pay more. I think you are happy to dress your servant. Your child is indeed different. ."Liulik listen, the blacksmiths of the tribe are really complex talents. Can a blacksmith be a silversmith, jeweller, or gem expert? What kind of talent are these! Such people exist in the tribe? Before Rurik didn't care about these at all, now he has to pay attention. If I have contact with these magical blacksmiths, I am not sure I will ask them to do more for myself.
