Of course, Arik was very dissatisfied with Bona who wore an antlered helmet. Faced with money, this young and energetic young man really just wanted to get the money first. As for how to criticize Bo Na's mistakes in the future, naturally she would give her uncle a small report in person.
Aric tried his best to keep calm, and waited until Bona finished weighing his portion. He kept his head sullen and just put the money into the linen bag he had prepared. He didn't give Bona any expression during the whole process. Even though his strong arms carried more than 20 pounds of gold, silver and copper coins and walked aside, he still didn't intend to look at Bona who was still handing out money.
"You have already received the money, are you still angry?" asked Haro Zuosen, who was supervising the order of the money distribution site and was now standing with Arik.
"I think that woman really likes money. Is that what a priest should do?"
"Hey, I admit that Bona likes money, who doesn't?" Harold Johnson He smiled and said, "Even your brother likes money."
"That's true. But priests, they shouldn't be too greedy."
Hallo Zuosen shrugged: " This is not your business. I can just supervise here. If nothing happens, you can go back to the fish cooking site first. It’s time to eat. Haha, that’s a gift from your brother to the little boy from the tribe.”
“No.” Arik shook his head and deliberately touched Haro Zuosen. He deliberately lifted a corner of his leather jacket and revealed a small linen pocket hidden inside, which also revealed part of the glass.
"What... what is this?!" Harold Johnson's hair stood up when he saw the glass for the first time: "Crystal glass? Where did you get it?"
Aric was proud He said: "It's Rurik, my brother. On the day we left, Odin gave him wisdom, so he made this."
The glass was taken out deliberately because it was precious. He didn't hand it over directly to Harold Johnson.
Aric held it in his hand and pressed it against the other person's face: "Look, how wonderful it is."
"This...this is a crystal cup. We There is no such beautiful thing in that castle."
"Because they are mortals! My brother is not."
Aric is extremely happy to have such a treasure. . His display was certainly intended to scare Harold Johnson, but it was also to sell more glasses.
Aric took advantage of the situation and asked: "Do you want it?"
"Of course!" Haro Zuosen said immediately, "I will give you money, as long as you let me get it. I am willing Pay a huge sum of money."
Arik shook his head with a tight mouth.
"Why, you're not happy?"
"No." Arick said with a smile, "Do you think my brother only made a small amount of treasures? He made a lot. At least you can buy it for a certain amount of money."
"Really?" Ha.Luo Zuosen's eyes widened.
"How dare I lie to you. Look at these people." Arik flicked his neck, "My cup is indeed a bit more expensive, but everyone can buy it if they are willing. "
Hallo Zuosen clutched the heavy sack full of money, and kept glancing at the cup in Arik's hand from the corner of his eyes.
"Hey, Arik."
"Huh?"
"Rurik is selling cups? How much does one cost?"
< p>Arik quickly turned his head and whispered into Haro Zuosen's ear: "Actually, it only costs sixty silver coins. It's like buying another steel sword.""Huh? It's indeed a bit expensive."
"Expensive? You still think it is expensive now. How many bags of stones do you think you are carrying?"
After all, Harold Johnson is also getting rich today, and his thoughts are not yet Transform immediately. After Arik's guidance, he finally came to his senses. Look at the money bag in your hand! What's wrong with squandering money?
"Rurik, where is he!? I want to buy, I want to buy a lot!" Haro Zuosen couldn't wait any longer. He turned around and was about to leave, but was surprised by Arik grabbing the lapel of his shirt.
"Uncle, don't be anxious. When everyone has received their money, I will take you with me."
"They are all going?" Haro Zuosen realized the crisis. , "If they all buy it, how much can they leave for me? Forget it, I'll go to the fish cooking place and wait for Rurik, and I'll beg for it myself."
This time, Ali Ke put the glass in his arms and directly grabbed the other person's arm.
"Uncle, to be honest, Rurik made it clear to me. Today I am going to lead everyone to buy at the place Rurik has arranged. You should listen to me."
p>"Oh? Is this also in Rurik's plan? Arik?"
"Of course, my brother is not a mortal."
As soon as we talked about it Brother, Arik immediately puffed up his chest, he was proud to have such a brother.
As a hero on the battlefield, Arik has strong prestige among the young tribesmen.
Many people who got the money were holding their money bags crazily. The silver coins in them exceeded two pounds, which was a huge amount of money! With this money, you can renovate your house or build a better one. You can also change your weapons to steel swords and order a batch of daily necessities.
With so much loot obtained in one battle, the people who got the money were brewing plans for the next attack in their minds.
Arik stopped these excited tribesmen in time. He did not object to everyone's happiness at all, but grabbed the other person's arm and said: "When everyone has received their money, I will take you to see some good things." Something. A good thing that you will all be happy about!"
Aric deliberately pretended to be secretive, and his confident appearance made everyone curious.
Only a few people left here because of excessive excitement. TheseThe person's purpose is very simple, which is to take the money and go straight to Clavarson's blacksmith shop to repay the credit they paid for the steel sword. They also dismissed Arik's so-called "good health for you".
Principles must be followed between tribesmen. If the simple young warriors were not hindered by poverty, who would be willing to take credit? If you have enough money, of course you will pay it back to prove your trustworthiness.
As a result, this small group of people were the first to see glassware.
They were completely stunned! When they learned the price of glassware from the blacksmith, they were shocked again. Want to get it? Of course I do. Just by exchanging the debt for the steel sword and buying a set of glass cups, the spoils were really only a few copper coins left.
Most of the people who took the money did not leave. The priest in charge of distributing the money, who still wore the antlered helmet and did not mind it being too heavy, felt that the detention of these young people who had taken the money was a sign of injustice. Respect for one's own majesty.
After the last person's money was given out, she opened her arms and said loudly in a deep mezzo-soprano: "Warriors of the tribe, now you have received Odin's gift. Look at the sun in the sky, Odin is watching you! Worship the sun!"
Worship?
No! Holding the money in their hands, everyone knew that this was actually the trophy they had fought hard for, although it was reasonable to say that this was a "gift from Odin". If the words came out of Villa's mouth, everyone would be very convinced.
The words came from Bo Na, but only a few people turned their heads.
Bo Na didn’t take it seriously. She actually stood and handed out money to more than 400 people, including the families of the fallen. She consumed a lot of energy and even had a helmet on her neck. Sore from the pressure.
She endured it and continued to announce loudly: "Warriors, Odin has understood your respect. You can go home. Next, I will lead the priests to the altar and do it for you again. A prayer ceremony."
After saying that, Poona turned around, intending to stride into the longhouse, but she quickly took off her helmet after the leather curtain was closed.
As a result, Arik suddenly roared and became the target of everyone's attention.
His thick and powerful arms raised a transparent object and said loudly: "Brothers! This is the good thing I want to say!"
After that, Arik swaggered Walking through the crowd, showing precious glasses to the tribesmen.
It is obviously a container.
It looks like it is carved from a piece of crystal.
It is said that the gods in Valhalla have a large number of pure gold cups and crystal cups, and there are gems everywhere.
Just like when Arik saw the glass for the first time, his people naturally showed shocked expressions. He only allowed his tribesmen to view it and forbade them to touch it.
Arik whetted the appetite of the tribe and also surprised the priest Bona.
It must be said that although Rurik did not explicitly enforce confidentiality, Pona and other priests did know about him."Created" a crystal cup called boli. Only a few merchants were willing to buy it due to its exaggerated price. Thinking of this, Pona only thought that the quantity of this cup must be small, and those foreign merchants were really taken advantage of.
Now, the situation has changed.
The glass displayed by Aric really reminded Pona. Poona, who became rich, became eager to have it. expensive? Doesn't owning it show your noble status? Who would question his noble status when drinking water from the legendary treasure that is only found in Valhalla?
Unexpectedly, Arik shocked everyone with his words.
“Brothers!” He held up the glass and announced in front of everyone: “Rurik, the child blessed by Odin, got the method of making crystal cups from Odin! Do you want it? ? Of course you do! Brothers, you have all seen how beautiful and sacred it is.
Now, Rurik has prepared many crystal cups to sell to you now! >
As soon as Arik finished speaking, the crowd was excited!
If you can buy this "holy object" with money, then buy it!
Even though he was hesitant, he still started to cheer in the warm atmosphere.
It’s better to trouble Harold Johnson to come forward and relieve everyone’s high mood.
Hello Johnson was like singing a double act at this moment, asking on behalf of everyone: "So? Where can I buy it?!"
"This is a good question!" Arik shouted Answered, so that all onlookers could hear, "Rurik gave the blacksmith Klavasen how to make the strongest swords, and now also gave him the technology of making crystal cups from Valhalla. There are at least sixty cups in Looking for your own master, brothers, are you willing to be the master of the cup?"
Are you willing? Of course I do.
The excited crowd roared with excitement.
"Come with me!" Arik waved his arms, still holding the glass in his big hand.
It was past noon, and Rurik had already treated his men to a sumptuous lunch.
Including Rurik himself, his stomach was filled with fish and became bulging for a while.
The sound of people boiling could be heard in the distance, and Rurik guessed that those who had obtained the money must be rushing to buy their own glassware under Arik's instigation.
The opportunity to search for wealth is this afternoon!
Rurik hurried to the blacksmith shop with two close followers, and was surprised to find that a wealthy guy was already staying here.
There are ten people here. They want to get the glass, but they don't want to buy it for a huge sum of sixty silver coins.
This situation was already within Rurik's consideration. These hesitant guys have been given up by Rurik.
He believed that all the glassware could be sold, and that there would be an army of buyers coming with huge sums of money.
"Fisk, Kanuf, don't be lazy. Follow me and move the planks. "
"Alas! Be careful both of you, you are holding something of great value. ”
“Kanuf, handle me gently. If one breaks, I won’t have the money to pay you to continue eating meat every day. ”
Rurik personally participated in building the exhibition stand, and then placed the glassware one by one on the wooden stand.
Everything was like a dream.
Klava Sen looked at these glassware made by his own hands, and the crystal clear appearance seemed unreal.
Klavasen also had a doubt about this.
He asked. Rurik on the sleeves: "You said, they will really rush to buy? Lo and behold, someone showed up early and was put off by the price. ”
“Don’t worry, they will buy it. "
Rurik puffed up his seemingly immature chest, but he was actually full of confidence.
The mighty army came happily, followed by an army of thousands of onlookers. .
Due to the unpleasant time and the pain in her neck and waist, Bona stopped joining in the fun personally. Since Rurik had the ability to make more, she later negotiated with him personally and used the huge coins belonging to the sacrifice. Just order some.
They came, like a large group of golden lions, rushing towards their prey.
They saw something like a table in the distance. A small group of people had gathered around the small empty space filled with sand and stones outside the blacksmith shop, staring intently at the treasure on the table.
As Arik said, " Rurik of "Odin's Blesser" really made a lot of crystal clear treasures.
They completely surrounded the display stand, and people in the back row kept pushing forward, and some people really Unable to squeeze through, they had to jump as hard as they could.
Some people were so confident in their eyesight that people climbed onto the roofs of some houses.
Rurik's figure. He was too small compared to these strong men, but he didn't want to face his wealthy tribesmen with a overlooking attitude today.
A pile of stones and wooden boards was one meter high. .
Clavason held Rurik's armpits with his hands and hugged him on the pillar.
This man stood out from the crowd. He grew taller and became more confident and confident.
Rurik deliberately made a "human confusion", holding his chin high and moving his arms slowly.
This move was really effective.
Rurik was the one in the spotlight. The commotion of the crowd quickly calmed down when they saw the strange behavior of "Odin's Blesser". p>At this moment, Arik also broke away from the crowd and entered the persona designed by his younger brother - a shopping guide.
Yes, Arik is going to be a shopping guide today, and more specifically, he represents his younger brother. , to introduce to you the prices of various types of glassware, he also made a special explanation, because everyone is.Members of the Ross tribe's authentic bloodline have the opportunity to enjoy preferential prices.
In fact, for Arik, seeing so many beautiful glassware was an incredible thing.
Arik calmed down and began to introduce each category.
A set of one hundred and fifty silver coins, a single cup for sixty silver coins, and a beautiful pot for one hundred silver coins.
"Now everyone understands. Then, those who are willing to buy will come forward."
After Arik finished speaking, everyone started talking about the high price.
Rurik, who was standing high up, was shocked. He thought that a handful of people among the four to five hundred people should have a luxurious stay.
Seeing that no one took the initiative, Rurik spoke in his still childish voice.
“Warriors! Don’t you want to have these treasures? Odin gave me the gift of using mortal things to create treasures that only Valhalla has! Odin appreciates us Rus people, so he gives me one after another. Our favor. If you are hesitant now, are you questioning Odin's favor?"
After saying this, Rurik felt that he was a real stickman.
Magical stick? Well, that seems to be the case.
However, he has a noble status and is also considered a sacred figure by everyone. It would be inexplicable if a smart person did not use his special status to gain benefits!
Rurik said loudly: "What are you still hesitating about? Do you care about the little money in your hands? Those hateful Gotlanders were defeated once by you, and they will continue to fail, and you You will continue to be rich. You have made great achievements on the battlefield, and now you come to me to buy the gifts from Odin."
This statement is well-founded.
Including the lower-level priestesses mixed in the crowd also thought so.
The priests all worshiped the old Vilia. They believed that Vilia was blessed with such a long life because of her piety. Obviously, the successor Bona is now really money-minded, and her heart is no longer pure.
In contrast, the future leader Rurik, even though he stood at a high place, was only eight years old. Those legendary "crystal cups" are displayed in large numbers, as well as "crystal pots" with more complex shapes on display. Who dares to doubt Rurik's nobility?
Of course people recognize Rurik's nobility, but even if the money in the linen bag is not warm enough, it is replaced by another treasure. It is reasonable for many people to hesitate.
Someone needs to break the ice.
Who is that?
It’s Harozov!
The old guy got out of the crowd. There were several heavy linen bags hanging on his belt. There was no doubt that they were full of money.
Harozov even held a sack in his hand, which contained three pounds of silver coins!
He approached the display stand happily, looked at the blacksmith Klavasen, and looked up at the great Rurik with reverence.
“My little master, thank you for giving meA chance for us mortals to possess the relics of Valhalla. A set of one hundred and fifty silver coins. I want two sets! I'll give you these three pounds of silver! ”
Hallo Zossen deliberately spoke louder and with extreme respect.
Rurik was greatly satisfied by being praised like this.
Rurik nodded: "Okay, your respect for me is the same respect for Odin. You give the money to the blacksmith Clavarson first, and then take away the two sets. You have to note that the crystal cup is just a boli cup, and it is still a fragile treasure. "
"Yes. ”
Hallozossen handed the sack to Klavason, who also used his own scale to bear the weight to confirm that the weight of the silver coins was correct.
At least Harozossen did not feel guilty about paying it all in one go. What's the problem with three hundred silver coins? As a war leader, he naturally has to share more wealth during the operation.
The situation of others is much worse. Because of this person's role model, a second person finally stepped out of the team.
Originally, Rurik is not necessarily proud of being a stickman.
From the current point of view, His own people are very fond of this.
Life is changing, and Rurik also realizes that he does have a noble status. If he still holds the thoughts of the past, he may not be able to cater to this very well. Times. What the clansmen need is a strong leader. This strength includes but is not limited to being good at fighting and bringing wealth to everyone.
The ultimate expression of a strong leader is to use some means. , uniting the entire tribe, giving the tribesmen strong cohesion and organizational power. This kind of power and this time and space is the most powerful existence, and it is only natural that the tribesmen become rich.
The second buyer was a young man who was very similar to his cousin. He bought a cup. He paid the money, expressed his gratitude to Rurik with his eyes, and then kissed him hard with his mouth. He took a look at the crystal clear treasure, put it in his arms and ran away happily.
More and more people came to buy it, and they lined up under Rurik's order.
In fact, panic buying did not happen. Many people still had a wait-and-see attitude. They brought huge sums of money, but they were actually more willing to buy a large amount of meat first to satisfy their appetite.
p>
There is nothing wrong with this. When poor people become rich, they often eat some delicacies from the mountains and seas first, and then when they get tired of it, they start to buy some spiritual enjoyment items and even luxury goods.
Luli. Ke estimated that in about an hour, the glassware on the display stand had been completely sold out!
Ten sets of glassware, 1,500 silver coins, and 50 cups and 30 pots separately! Sales, another six thousand silver coins.
The total of seven thousand five hundred silver coins is seventy-five Roman pounds of silver!
The total weight is almost thirty kilograms. Sold out, those young people who bought the glass were immediately surrounded by their friendsSupport. Many people aren't planning on buying right now, but they can at least touch a good friend's.
There are also people who carry treasures in their arms and go straight to their homes to show their families what the "treasures of Valhalla" are.
Of course, there are also many foreign businessmen gathered here. Although they are a little dissatisfied, considering that they are foreigners after all, it is reasonable to spend more to sell cups. Besides, after all, they are well-informed and clearly know their stuff.
They don’t think what Rurik said is reliable. At least the Russian glassware is cheaper and more beautiful than the Danes.
It seems that the glassware was made by Rurik and the blacksmith Klavason. They admitted that Rurik should have received some revelation from God.
A businessman is a businessman!
The Ross people left to play with their treasures, and five fur traders stayed here.
Yes, they each bought a set of glassware earlier, and they still think it is wonderful.
Their attitude in staying here is very simple. It is because they have witnessed Rurik's production capabilities and are trying to negotiate the possibility of in-depth cooperation.
Purchasing and selling fur goods is a second-rate business practice with a reasonable price difference, but the huge profits cannot be made as quickly as reselling soap, glassware or steel swords. These businessmen were extremely jealous when they saw that Rurik especially trusted Gould, the richest businessman from the Onkras tribe, but they were not as rich as that man.
Even so, they are willing to try to build a business relationship with Rurik. Businessmen, how can they not live with money?
The stay of the five of them is the possibility of becoming second-rate dealers who resell glassware, and this is what Rurik wants to see.
With the huge wealth in hand, the blacksmith shop became very lively again.
Five well-dressed businessmen entered Klavasen’s somewhat humble home and talked with the distinguished Rurik.
Nothing but discussing how to cooperate and make big money together...
