Servants are almost non-existent in our tribe, so we do differ somewhat from our allies to the south. "Otto followed what Vilia said.
"They robbed some people from further afield and used them as draft animals, as you know. Our ordinary families cannot get a servant unless they spend a lot of money to buy it. Only you, my leader. I know you In fact, with a lot of accumulated wealth, you can buy some servants to take care of your daily life."
"No need." Otto raised his head and said, "I'm already old, and those coins are of little use to me. They are my son's wealth, and they will also be his financial backing when he becomes the leader in the future. About a servant. You see , I have found a servant for Rurik.
But it's a pity, those deer farmers are really crazy guys. Many of the prisoners we captured simply chose to commit suicide, and some froze to death.
Including this girl, she resisted desperately and almost killed Rurik! "
Otto simply believed that Priest Vilia had miraculous insight, and he did not dare to lie at all.
At this moment, Vilia was startled. Her aging eyes stared at the girl who was making needle pricks, "Otto, this kid still dares to attack Rurik?"
"Obviously, she is not willing to be a servant. But I am sure that she has been tamed by Rurik." At this point, Otto believed in his son's ability. "Rurik does have a talent for leadership. I'm sure that when the weather warms up, more children will follow him to the hillsides for training. He can tame more than a hundred boys, and it is even easier to tame a girl."
Vilia nodded: "But it is abominable that a servant dares to resist his master. Such a servant needs to be punished. Did Rurik punish her?"
"this……"
Otto was really embarrassed to speak out about his son's daring to use force to protest against his decision.
He said tactfully: "Rurik said that those are his own servants, and it is also his business how to treat them."
"That's true."
"After all, she is a deer farmer, so she is naturally good at raising deer, so I hope to grow our deer through her hands."
"Chief, the deer you brought back were all hers, right?" Villa asked slowly.
"Yes. She'll get the job done because of it."
"It's better to listen to what Rurik means."
After saying that, Villa waved gently: "Rurik, come here and take your servants to sit in front of me."
At this time, the girl was like a lamb being led by others, and she had no idea at all.
Liuli pulled the girl and sat down obediently. The girl still raised her head fiercely and pointed her orange hair towards Vilia.
Judging from her hair color alone, she is also very different from other Ross people. Because the tribesmen all have blond hair, and some even have white hair.
Vilia looked at her favorite Rurik kindly, "My child, have you decided how to treat your servants?"
"Yes! Of course I have thought about it. Since she is a servant, she must do whatever I order her to do."
"Oh?" Vilia quickly noticed the scar on Rurik's neck and suddenly asked: "Child, you have a wound on your neck. What's going on? I heard that this servant once resisted you."
"She took my knife and wanted to harm me, but I knocked her down easily."
Seeing the ferocious look on the priest's face, Rurik quickly explained, "It's like a captured wolf cub. At first it can realize that it is a wolf and will resist its master. But when the master shows force, the wolf also She becomes a loyal dog. Look at her like this, she has no ability to defeat me. Even the boys in our tribe who are older than me, none of them can defeat me."
What the child said was indeed true. After all, Rurik was a person blessed by Odin and was born with some magical fighting skills.
"So you're angry that she attacked you?" Vilia asked.
"Angry? No! If anyone should be angry, it should be her. After all, our tribe attacked the deer herders and robbed all their deer. I know many people think this is honorable, but I always feel It's not wise to do this. Maybe, we should be more merciful. So I..."
Rurik paused for breath. His father was here, and so was the priest. He spoke out what was in his heart: "I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. I always feel a sense of guilt. I have already thought about it. As long as she is loyal, I Also treat her well. I will make sure that she has enough food and a suitable living environment. I will ask her to do something, and if she does well, I will also reward her.
I would actually rather be her friend, maybe a bit like a family member. Maybe this would make her feel better. "
Rurik thought about it and decided that he was willing to maintain a relatively close relationship with this girl. The only word "family" in the Norse vocabulary was more suitable. Of course, "family" in Norse refers to everyone living under one roof, which of course includes slaves and sometimes pets.
Vilia never expected that Rurik, a servant who had resisted her, would take a fancy to her.
The young Rurik had already shown his precocious wisdom. He must have noticed that this girl must have some special abilities, otherwise he would not have been so trusting and hopeful.
Villa paused for breath: "Your father hopes that your servant will continue to raise deer, do you support it?"
"Of course! My father and I have discussed along the way that my family's deer need to be further developed. I don't know how to raise deer, but this girl must. So I will give her an order to raise deer well."
"That's great. This is this girl. I always feel that she is a little sluggish. Could it be that she has been mentally stimulated? It would be bad if she is a fool."
The girl had been extremely nervous since she entered the room. Now she is always raising her head, as if everything has nothing to do with her.
"She's either stupid or a little scared," Rurik explained. "I'm sure she's never seen a settlement as huge as our Roseburg, nor our huge population. She was really taken by Terrified.”
"Well, hopefully she'll get used to it. One more thing, Rurik, have you given your servant a name?"
"Name?!" Vilia asked Rurik directly.
"Yes, I don't know her name at all. Dad, what is her name?" Rurik turned around and asked his father.
Otto also looked regretful: "How do I know? I don't understand the language of deer farmers."
"No name? It doesn't matter. Regardless of whether she is a man or a woman, she will have a name. I might as well ask her myself." After that, Vilia stretched out his aging right hand to lift the girl's chin, touching her I directly felt the girl's fear and trembling.
Vilia finally looked at her face, and her childish face fully proved the child's weakness and helplessness.
