After returning, Otto greeted the cheering crowd and asked them to move out of the way.
On the other hand, in the large priest's wooden house, Priest Vilia stayed indoors calmly, because she knew that her fragile body should not be exposed to the cold outdoors, even if she was wearing a thick leather coat. Avoid this.
She already knew that the leader Otto had returned victoriously with a large number of deer. The messenger who came quickly informed her that the leader had gone to a very far place this time and also robbed a large amount of wealth from the deer herders. .
The vast wealth excited the young people accompanying them, but Villa was not so happy.
She is too old, and the only thing that makes her happy is that her body can continue to maintain itself.
She knows very well what her physical condition is like.
Welia even had a premonition that her life would come to an end within two or three years.
Everyone is mortal. Regarding the leader’s rare robbery of a deer herder in a distant place, Villa quietly recalled his young self.
Those past events, although they were all experienced by me, are now so distorted when I recall them, as if they happened in a dream.
Vilia, her mind has become a little difficult in her old age, and sometimes she regards dreams as reality.
She worships Odin devoutly and prays silently every day that she can become a Valkyrie after death, even if she is the lowest servant of Valhalla.
If her dream comes true, she will become a Valkyrie and will not hesitate to bring Otto’s soul to the Hall of Valor after his death.
The more she thought about it, the more she dreamed about it, and the wonderful dreams deepened her belief.
Recalling my childhood experiences, too many things have been forgotten.
She has forgotten the faces of her parents, and many of her childhood friends have passed away. Looking back on the past, she can only remember the major spiritual stimulation.
For example, my father promised himself to her husband because of the benefits of some coins. I never expected that I would end up having a miscarriage, so I simply survived. The poor husband also died in the wilderness one year, possibly attacked by wild beasts.
Of course, it is also possible that they were deliberately attacked by those deer farmers.
Because Roseburg is the home of deer farmers.
The Ross tribe snatched this fjord from those people, which has iron ore and copper mines, and can also stock some animals.
She was very young at that time, and she had forgotten why the war started. But did the war need a real reason?
Deer farmers are not allies and are, at best, poor trading partners. Therefore, the so-called trade relationship can be easily torn up, and any tribe of the thinking subtype can go to war against the deer herders without receiving any sanctions.
Recalling the past, young feet wandered among the ruins of collapsed tents, my own tribe cleaned up the bodies of the dead, and other tribesmen gathered around the campfire to eat barbecue..
Many places were on fire. After the flames were extinguished, the tribesmen built new settlements in the fjords abandoned by the fleeing deer herders. In a flash, the young children were already old.
While Vilia was recalling the past, the noise outside finally brought her thoughts back.
Suddenly, the drooping leather door curtain was lifted, and a strong, bearded man stepped in with a glorious face.
"Ah! Great priest, I am Otto, I am back."
"I know you are back!"
See this disheveled man The man with the scruffy beard really made Vilia feel more at ease with him. Otto was Villia's ally. Looking at the Otto in front of her through the memories she just had, she couldn't help but think that if her aborted child had been successfully born, she would probably be the same age as Otto if she lived to this day.
Thinking of this, she became even more kind to Otto.
Life is like this. The safe birth of a child is a miracle.
What's more, there is a bad tradition common among all tribes. Every family worships those warlike gods, so everyone prefers sons. In addition to faith, they also need a man to inherit the family business.
However, very limited resources can only be allocated to a small number of offspring. Many baby girls are thrown into the forest just after birth. They are claimed to be picked up by good Samaritans, but in reality they are left to fend for themselves.
Only the strongest person or the eldest son in the family can inherit the family business. The weak must move when they grow up, and they will not inherit a copper coin.
Even so, there are already a small number of women and many of them cannot survive the hurdle of childbearing.
Although men who live to adulthood do not have the burden of childbearing, they will always take crazy risks for wealth.
Just like Otto’s adventure this time, if they get lost, or need more terrifying enemies, or even enter the edge of the human world and fall into the unknown territory under the World Tree, everything will be full of terror. variables that will lead to the death of everyone.
Villa's efforts to remain calm were still suppressed by her willpower, but she had begun to become talkative and hurriedly patted the leather cushion next to her.
"Come here quickly! Tell me what you have been through!"
"Good priest, maybe these things should wait until all the elders come..."
"You don't have to wait for those guys." Villa said as she tried to stand up. The low-level priests immediately surrounded him, helped him up, and handed her the wooden staff inlaid with gems.
She continued to mutter: "You are the leader. Those elders are just a little older than you, but those guys are already very old. Do you still listen to those people's opinions? They should be the ones listening to you. Yes. You are our leader!”
Otto thought about it, and she was right.
The so-called elders are the older men in the tribe. Of course they were also brave and good at fighting when they were young.As I get older and older, my whole person gradually becomes slacker.
It cannot be said that this kind of laziness is wrong behavior. If I were not the leader, I would definitely be doing the most ordinary things like them, waiting for the end of life, as slowly as an iron sword. The rust eventually broke. In that case, it would be impossible for him to have the strong physical ability to carry out this long-lasting expedition.
Otto, however, had a lot to say to the priest. The most important thing was the many details about the attack on the deer herder’s camp, and the great exploration of the unknown world in the northeast by the tribe.
The important information obtained during the adventure needs to be informed to the priest. Otto knows very well that after learning the information, Vilia will definitely send someone to carve it on the wooden board in rune script.
No matter whether the tribesmen are willing to learn or not, even the wooden boards will be damaged. But the group of priests will keep repairing the wooden board to pass on the information, so that when the tribe finally enlightens and desires to know everyone's past history, everything will be recorded on the wooden board.
At least another "good scholar" has appeared, and he is currently obscured by his wide torso.
Otto was wearing a sheepskin coat and his own iron battle helmet. He held the hilt of the sword hanging on his belt, and it still jingled as he walked around the sacrificial wooden house.
The image of a warrior was vividly displayed. The young junior priests looked at the heroic appearance of their leader and were afraid that Odin should look like this.
Otto walked towards Vilia with such a heroic appearance. He knew that the old priest liked to see himself like this.
Soon, the lower-level priests whose eyes were focused on Otto then took aim at the opened leather door curtain.
I saw a little boy with a ponytail stepping vigorously into the warm room, only to see his young hands pulling in another girl.
