Rurik saw clearly the girl's condition. Her hands and feet were tied with hemp rope. This must be his father's method to prevent the captives from escaping, and it also really hurt the girl.
Without saying a word, he pulled out the meat-cutting knife from his waist.
The knife also shone with a cold light under the starlight. When Rurik showed the knife, the girl's originally dull face suddenly became tense. Her face was full of fear, as if she was a pitiful lamb.
In a real sense, she was indeed a lamb, her master squatting in front of her.
However, this master had no intention of harming a single wool of the lamb. Instead, the knife in his hand removed all the restraints on the lamb.
"Don't be afraid, I don't intend to hurt you. Now you try to stand up?"
The girl still couldn't understand Rurik's Norse language. She found that the hemp ropes on her hands and feet had been cut, and the restraints were gone.
She subconsciously stood up slowly, her face full of caution.
Rurik was very happy at this moment. Although there was a language barrier, he felt that his kind act had made the girl fully understand.
"Since you are my servant, don't be afraid, I will not hurt you. Maybe it is the smartest choice for you to follow me now."
Can she understand what Rurik said? Of course I can't understand it. He said it for himself and his parents.
The girl was slowly standing up, and Rurik relaxed his vigilance. Only Otto was surprised to notice a hint of murderous intent in the girl's somewhat changed eyes.
Rurik was still waiting to see how much taller the girl was than him. Unexpectedly, the girl who had just stood up hugged him and took away his knife with the other hand.
"Ah! Am I going to be killed? Is this the so-called farmer and snake?!"
Rurik's neck felt a slight pain, just because his carving knife had caused a wound on his neck.
The perpetrator is the girl he just rescued!
The situation happened very suddenly. The girl was a head taller than Rurik. Although her body was a little weak, she was holding an iron blade in her hand. The tip of the knife was pressed against Rurik's neck. She didn't need much strength to strike. With a jab, Rurik knew his life was at stake.
The girl was still yelling loudly. Although he couldn't understand her words, Rurik could hear the obvious crying in her words, and he could also feel that she was crying with grief and anger.
Anyone would only burst out with such emotions when they encounter a huge grievance.
But now is not the time to sympathize with her tragic experiences. Rurik just wants to get out of the crisis quickly.
The girl's cries and wailings immediately attracted many people, and Otto subconsciously pulled out his sword with a cold blue light, and cursed: "I thought she could become a loyal dog! I didn't expect it. She is just a wolf who was kindly released by her master, but without any gratitude she actually wants to bite her back!"
More than a dozen madmen carrying axes and swords gathered around the leader. Because the deer herder girl had a knife in her hand, Rurik was in a critical situation. They all put on ferocious faces but turned against the rat.
The girl hugged Rurik and tried to retreat into the snow nest with a sad face.
She wanted to run away, but in this cold place, what was the difference between running away alone and committing suicide?
Rurik thought that it was human instinct to escape from danger. Maybe the girl felt that there was hope of survival if she was hugged.
Perhaps she was very worried that as a servant she would face a more tragic fate.
In Rurik's understanding, the average feudal lord would definitely beat or scold his servants, so the servants would rise up if they couldn't bear it anymore.
Recalling the conversations that my parents had just had, the great feat that my father Otto claimed was that he destroyed a Sami settlement during this trip, and this girl seemed to be the only survivor. If all this is true, then she is really carrying a deep hatred.
She is indeed a survivor, but also a humble weakling, like a poor rabbit who can be easily killed by the hunter.
But Rabbit had a big hatred on her back, so she launched an attack on the enemy chief's son. However, her crying and yelling, and the knife in her hand that she didn't dare to stab clearly showed that she was still begging for a living.
The farce ends here!
She was indeed a weakling, so weak that she couldn't beat a seven-year-old boy.
Haha, maybe the definition of Rurik, a seven-year-old child, is not universal at all.
He suddenly grabbed the girl's thin right arm and controlled the knife that could stab his neck at any time. Then he swung his whole body to the right, hooked his left foot directly on the girl's right leg, and knocked her down with a trip, and also turned her around.
Although Rurik is young, his arms and legs are really strong.
He used the grappling skills he knew well, put one leg on the girl's back, and firmly pressed the girl's arms, which had lost her hand with the knife, on her back with both hands. Rurik's quick actions not only averted the danger, but also easily subdued the deer herder girl, making her unable to move.
Upon seeing this, people with various weapons swarmed in. Otto replaced Rurik with one of his big feet and stepped viciously on the girl's back.
"What a damn wolf! Is this also the intention of the Valkyrie? Maybe I killed this wolf a few days ago! You damn wolf, you almost killed my son!"
In his rage, Otto had forgotten everything he said to his son, including the "Valkyrie's orders."
He was the only son who was still alive. His two previous sons died unexpectedly due to various reasons. Rurik, the only one who survived, almost died because of his own negligence!
Otto raised his steel sword high, intending to stab the servant who dared to resist to death.
Rurik saw his father's horrific behavior. Although he was attacked, he did not want a man who was obviously not much older than himself to die miserably in front of him, let alone die under his father's sword.
Is there anything more barbaric than this?
Rurik, who had quick eyes and quick hands, jumped up and pushed forward. Otto was hit when he was stabbing hard, and the sword blade was also knocked away.
Even so, the sharp sword still hit the girl's hide, but did not cause any substantial damage.
"Rurik, what are you doing?!" Otto, who was knocked down and sat on the ground, asked loudly with empty hands.
At this moment, Rurik, who was also lying on the ground, subconsciously held the hilt of his father's sword and quickly got up.
The girl continued to lie down as if she had lost her soul, looking at the sword in fear with her head tilted, and her skin could easily feel the coldness brought by the blade.
The boy standing up in front of him would have died if he hadn't pushed hard.
The girl just lay there, keeping quiet and enduring all the way, seeing the barbarian's evil deeds, and her final struggle for revenge ended up like this.
She had received the most brutal fright, and now she had given up all resistance and lay lying on the snow like a fish on a chopping block.
Rurik had a dull face and pulled out the sharp sword that almost stabbed the girl to death.
Numerous onlookers saw Rurik put on a ferocious face for the first time in history, and some people thought that the young Rurik wanted to personally execute the enemy who assassinated him.
Then a shocking scene happened.
Rurik held his sword and shouted angrily at his father: "Otto! This is the servant you gave me! She is my servant! I have the right to control whether she lives or dies, you have no right to help I kill her."
Rurik, the future leader that everyone has high hopes for, is only seven years old and is holding a heavy sword tightly.
That is the sword of the current leader Otto!
It was as if from now on, the owner of the "Destroyer" was Rurik. He is indeed the sole heir to the sword.
