The world, or the universe, how should it be composed?
What Rurik strongly believes is that everyone in the world in this era will believe that everything they know is created by a great being.
Therefore, every ancient ethnic group has developed various beliefs. They need a founder so that they can no longer be confused about their own existence and find a meaning for their own existence.
In a bleak world, the mountains of the fjords serve as a barrier to block most of the cold winds from the Arctic. The sea was frozen and the earth was covered with a layer of snow. The sky was very clear at night, and the moonlight and aurora illuminated the snowy fields.
The large number of wooden houses in Roseburg are warm places, and many people have already crawled into the nests made of animal skins to fall asleep.
Rurik sat on the leather cushion, as if he were a teacher.
His two students are already very old, the blacksmiths Klavasen and Kawei. They just want to listen to what Rurik has to say about the human world.
The two of them sat cross-legged with their eyes blazing, and Rurik also acted as serious as a priest.
"We all know that there is a giant named Ymir, and Odin used his corpse to create everything. The giant tree holds up the human world, and also holds up Valhalla. Odin is the Lord of Valhalla, The Valkyries are his servants, and our fallen warriors will serve as warriors of the temple..."
Rurik recited the mythological records he had seen on the wooden boards of the priest's longhouse in order to first resonate with Klavason.
He kept talking when suddenly Klavason interrupted.
"Rurik, dear, I already know these ancient stories. I also know that Odin created the human world, and I also know that Odin is Thor's father."
"Huh? You know everything?" Rurik's eyes widened.
Klavasen chuckled: "We are blacksmiths, of course we know. My dear, don't compare us with those fishermen."
"Fisherman, are you referring to those warriors?"
"Of course! They think that after killing countless enemies on the battlefield, they can go to Valhalla after death. I wish they could. This has nothing to do with us blacksmiths, we are servants of Thor. You should tell me something more realistic, What I just want to know now is that your dagger is made of ordinary things. Could it be that the more times you hit it and the more times it was burned, it became extremely hard? Why?!"
Rurik scratched his head, he really overestimated the blacksmith's mythical belief.
Perhaps from the beginning, blacksmiths and other professional craftsmen were more realistic and worldly than others.
"Okay, I'll tell you now, but I still have to start from the beginning!" Rurik emphasized.
"Where to begin?"
"It starts with the death of the giant." Rurik regained his serious expression to emphasize that his words were true: "The giant Ymir died, and Odin used his divine power to turn the body into powder. This kind of powder is better than yours. The powder of understanding is even smaller. It is the smallest existence that Odin can create, and it is the smallest existence that constructs our human world. I don’t know what to call it. I will give it a name now, called Indivisible Thing. It’s called an atom.”
Atom, derived from atomos, "indivisible thing" in classical Greek.
What Rurik was saying now was something that Klavasen, who had lived for a long time, could not understand at all. He tried to recall it, and he was particularly sure that even the wise man of the tribe, Vilia, had never explained the structure of the world in this way, but it could not be explained by It is nonsense to speculate on what Rurik said. Because this child has indeed received Odin's blessing, isn't the soap proof?
Klavasen didn't take it seriously at first. He deliberately said: "I can't understand what you said. Could it be that we...including myself, are also made of what you call atoms."
"Of course! I can tell you with absolute certainty that everything is composed of the tiniest atoms. Because of this, Odin can..."
Rurik suddenly had an idea, because on this issue, it would be most appropriate to give them an appropriate metaphor.
"Blacksmith, if you want to build a wooden house, you can't carve it out of a big tree. You need to cut down some small trees and use an ax to carve it.
