For the first time, Rurik called his father by his first name, still speaking to his father with that noble tone.
No child in the entire tribe has ever behaved like this. It is precisely because it is unprecedented and everyone is deeply shocked when they smell it.
For a while Otto sat on the ground in a daze, and Niya knelt on the snow at a loss.
After all, Rurik is just a child in form. He plunged his father's sword into the snow again to vent his anger. The blade shook from side to side. Then he picked up the dropped knife and inserted it back into the leather sheath on his belt.
Here, it was once deathly quiet.
Gradually, the shocked people recovered.
Many people feel that Rurik is obviously challenging his father's authority today.
There are also many people who feel that Otto's anger is indeed a mistake, because Rurik won the victory with his own strength alone. How to punish the erring servants afterwards is also Rurik's own business. Even as a father, Otto should not overstep his authority.
However, there are still some people who began to tell ancient legends after the situation calmed down. Brünnhilde once disobeyed Odin, but was easily punished by Odin.
Along the way, these warriors listened to too many mutterings from their leader Otto, who always claimed that the reason why the captured girl was alive today was the order of the Valkyrie.
People have even begun to make assumptions that are extremely scary to think about, and it has become an excellent topic for people to talk about in the boring winter.
That means there is definitely something fishy about this girl’s attack on Rurik! This is basically a bedtime story about Brünnhilde rebelling against Odin and then being punished by Odin. It is repeated in the mortal world!
Isn’t Rurik “Odin’s Blessing”? Isn’t this girl a “servant of Odin’s Blesser”?
Rurik's actions made Otto feel complicated. He was happy that his son was indeed a brave man, but he was also unhappy that his son challenged him when he was only seven years old.
For more than ten years, no one in the tribe has dared to challenge him head-on, and now only Aiko has made such a move.
On the whole, Otto was very happy that his son did have the courage to inherit the position of leader. However, his son pardoned the death penalty of the deer herder girl, which made him feel a little worried.
Otto was afraid that the girl would find another opportunity and stab his own Rurik to death.
However, although the ancient legend was quickly mentioned among the tribe, Otto suddenly realized it.
It was another night sleeping rough in the snow. The deer herder girl was still alive, but her hands and feet were still tied up. What was different from before was that she had slept in a simple and independent tent at Rurik's strong request.
Due to safety reasons, Rurik was closely protected by his parents this night, and his small body slept between them.
"After sleeping this night, we will be able to return to Roseburg safely after the short day tomorrow." Seeing that his son has alreadyAs he fell asleep, Otto cautiously leaned into his wife Niya's ear and whispered.
"Yes, many deer survived, and we made a fortune. But what about that girl? Do you believe that the myth is repeated with our son?"
"Are you doubting it? "Is that true?" Otto said cautiously, "Is what everyone said wrong? You also saw that Rurik subdued the girl alone. I really did something wrong. Rurik is the owner of the girl." ."
"You are indeed a little reckless." Niya breathed a sigh of relief, "But it is also the behavior that a good father should have. But the whole incident should be a test given to us by the Valkyrie. He did it, and I think from then on, the girl will be a loyal servant. Well... she will only be loyal to our son."
" Otto, listen. Thought of a lot: "At least I can see that he can grow into a qualified leader, especially when holding my sword."
"Yes!" Niya sighed happily: "A bit like you When he was young, he was a born leader."
Otto couldn't help but think of his childhood. He subconsciously stroked his wife's hair that turned from gold to white, "But you are not a wild girl. I am several years older than you, so should our son, and his wife must be many years younger than him."
"You think too much." Niya shook her head happily. "Maybe you should go to the ally tribe to arrange a marriage for him. It's still too early to say these things now."
"Then pray! Pray that we can live longer. When he is ten When he was two years old, I would help him do these things."
Rurik fell asleep quietly like this, having no idea what his parents said late at night.
Until the family was awakened by the noise outside, people began their last day of journey!
Eating on the snow is not a good feeling.
It was dark, and Rurik counted the time. He could estimate how short the day was today.
People sit by the campfire, longing for the flames to bring warmth to everyone, and also counting on the dancing flames to roast the venison.
The meat was not cleaned of blood at all, and the hungry people did not care about the bad fishy smell. They just sprinkled a handful of salt or nothing at all, and gnawed on the half-cooked meat.
After all these years, Rurik still hopes that food can be further cooked. It is true that the life of everyone in the tribe is too primitive. Considering that people’s pursuit of food must be engraved in their genes, it is necessary to To change their life style, which prefers to drink hair and drink blood, an authority really needs to stand up and give persuasion.
In Rurik's view, since the tribe already has the technology to cast iron pots for cooking meat, it is not difficult to cast an iron pot with a wide mouth.
There are meat cuts and wooden boards, and the refined seal oil, deer oil and butter are always on hand, and salt is not scarce (although coarse salt is used).
It’s already hereIt knows everything about cooking, but no one has ever thought that it can be cooked like this.
Not only that, Rurik looked around and saw that everyone around the bonfire was not without tableware.
Some people just hold the meat on the wooden sticks and gnaw hard, and some are more elegant, cutting the meat with a knife, and then inserting the tip of the knife into the meat piece and sending it to the mouth.
Besides the knife, the other most important tableware is the spoon, which is specially used for drinking soup.
The pocket knife is really a multi-functional tool. Now it is a cutlery and a weapon in special moments.
Thinking of this, Rurik still felt a dull pain in his neck. If he touched the wound, it would feel really bad.
Moreover, the initiator of everything is sitting in front of him!
Rurik realized that this girl was definitely many years older than him, maybe she was ten or twelve years old.
Taking advantage of the bright firelight, Rurik turned sideways and saw her face clearly, as well as her hands and feet that were still bound.
The girl stared at the flames blankly, dumbfounded. No one knows how her previous night passed, and now she seems to have lost her soul.
She sat there blankly, and Rurik no longer had any wariness about this girl. After all, it was just a fight, and this girl could only be dealt with easily by him.
As for his own parents, Rurik could see that his father Otto was really full of hostility towards the girl.
It's really ironic when you think about it. My father kept saying, "The Valkyrie spares her life" and "She is destined to be my son's servant."
Judging from the current results, she is indeed living well and is also her own servant.
It was this servant who once wanted to take his master's life.
