A big thick one covered Rurik's thin shoulder.
Otto asked: "My son, the money will be yours sooner or later. Are you really going to build it?"
"Yes, we will be stronger because of this." Rurik said with determination.
"Okay, just take me to see the house you are building. Is that our new home? I just want to go take a look."
visit? This is a good thing!
Rurik originally planned to take his father, who was a big leader, to visit his masterpieces up close.
Similarly, Otto also intended to visit the "Novgorod-style" buildings that his wife and son talked about.
Is that really the case? Otto knew that those people in the east, those with some status, lived in houses with wooden floors, and even slept on wooden boards. Is Rurik also going to imitate them?
Otto realized that he should have gone to see his son's masterpiece soon after landing. Too many things had delayed his formation. Now, before the tribal collective wedding at night, Otto felt that he still had a lot of free time.
Continue to hang out in the chief priest's house. Because the priests, no matter how incompetent they are, must personally conduct the evening ceremony.
The collective wedding of the tribe is so important!
Villa secretly urged the big leader and Rurik to leave quickly after settling the money matter. She said kindly: "Next, it is the work of our priests. You have other important things, Rurik, please leave your Rumia with me."
"Huh? Grandma, you want the wedding ceremony to be so..."
Vilia's old face was like cracked earth, and she smiled: "Yes, this is her fate."
A destiny to be called the new high priest, Rurik put Rumia here this time. He and his father left the priest's house and met those waiting outside.
"Big Chief, do you have any new orders?" The one who spoke was Harold Johnson, his face seemed a little anxious.
"What's wrong with you?" Otto asked.
"Something. My brothers and I are going to the beach market to buy some fish. It's not too late now. If..."
Otto waved his hand: "Brothers, please leave and do what you want. Now I just want to stay with my son."
After receiving this order, Otto's cronies dispersed.
Even though he was the leader of the tribe and could roam freely within Fort Ross, Otto did not need any cronies to serve as bodyguards. He now leaves ten men to take turns standing guard in the longhouse of the priests. He held his son Rurik's hand, and the father and son disappeared into the lively crowd of the tribe.
Sometimes, walking like this as a father and son is very warm!
Rurik raised his head slightly and looked at his father's face. Otto looked kind, and the two of them were walking towards home.
"Dad, are you going to see those houses now?"
"Of course. I couldn't see clearly last night, and now it's dawn and I'm going to see for myself those Novgorod houses you imitated."
Otto's words immediately reminded Rurik: "Oh, Dad, we still need to go to the blacksmith shop."
"What's wrong? Go to Klavason's place?"
"Yes. Dad, I like the new servants you gave me very much. I ordered a batch of gifts for them. I'm going to the blacksmith's shop to get them."
"Really? Why don't you still make some silver jewelry?"
"It's just silver jewelry." Rurik said bluntly. "what do you think?"
Otto was stunned on the spot. He bowed down and put his hands on his son's shoulders: "Son, I don't object to you giving the servant some silver jewelry. But you... are you still not satisfied with Rumia's share of silver jewelry? You just don't want to give it to the servant anymore?" Even if you have money, you can't squander it like this. You are really too kind. Remember, you can give some high-level rewards to important servants. Giving ordinary servants daily food is a great favor."
"Huh? You thought I... didn't have any! Just some small gifts." Rurik quickly changed the subject: "You are back, you should talk to the blacksmith."
Otto let go of his hand: "You reminded me. Let's go! See if the woman who married Kawei can adapt to our life here."
Father, he mentioned Lilia! He didn't even mention that girl last night.
Yes, not only Lilia was not mentioned, but the legendary Svetlana was also not mentioned at all by her father. Did he forget, or did he not intend to explain the situation now, or are these things not important at all?
Rurik's little hand continued to be pulled by Otto. The father and son walked through the crowd, and what they received was the praise from the tribesmen.
The whole Roseburg was bustling with activity, and the sound of forging could be heard from all the blacksmith shops.
With Kawei's return, Klavasen feels that not only has his production capacity been fully restored, but with Kamnier as his handyman, work will become more efficient.
The blacksmith father and son were wearing linen trousers and protective leather vests. They didn't even wear shoes, and stood completely barefoot on the cleared land. Klavason held the tongs to clamp the sword embryo, and Kawei wielded the sledgehammer and kept forging it.
The blacksmiths "fight" in the fire!
Lilia, she had never seen such a lively scene. Not only that, she had already seen something even more magical early in the morning.
Those Pokémon have small holes drilled into them. They are nameplates made of gold and silver, and a hemp rope passes through the holes of each nameplate.
They are some necklaces! Some very beautifully made necklaces were made by my husband’s father, who was also my second father.
Lilia's little heart was already proud that she could marry a blacksmith. She really didn't expect that this family has unique skills!
She began to work hard to learn the Varyag language. From today on, she also paid attention to her husband's blacksmithing work.
Even Lilia already knew that she would definitely go back to participate in the Varyag people's mass wedding ceremony tonight. For this ceremony, I need to be taught well by my second mother.
She cares about blacksmithing very much. It is best if she can learn it, make iron tools herself and send them back to her hometown at the right time, so that the people in her hometown can become rich.
Lilia served tea and water to her father and husband, and took a broom to help the two men in the house clean. And her eyes were always attracted by the hot sword embryo.
Unexpectedly, the swords of the Varyag people are all made like this? ! For example, the sword given to his brother by his husband was made like this?
The blacksmith family did not indulge in the indulgence after the Sorgon voyage, even though Kawei got his share of the treasure.
Just as they were getting into the work of making the sword, Otto and Rurik arrived without warning.
Otto held his chest high proudly. He was extremely confident with the praise he received from the tribesmen along the way.
Now that he has arrived at the blacksmith shop, Otto needs an urgent explanation for the questions in his heart.
The face of the big leader was all too familiar to Karavarson. It was a face that looked old and exuded the aura of a king. There is also the sword inlaid with huge rubies hanging on the belt around his waist. This is the treasure of the big leader.
After some polite greetings, Otto asked directly: "I heard that you got wisdom from my son and have started making crystal cups?"
"It's a glass." Klavasen emphasized and boasted: "I never thought I could make such a treasure. Because of it, I have become very rich."
"Rich? A lot of money?!" Otto looked at the flames dancing in the furnace and the more than ten sword embryos stuffed in the hot coals, and couldn't help asking: "Since you are rich, you still continue to be a blacksmith. A job? You can obviously have fun."
"Enjoyment? No, I'm just a blacksmith. Oh, my great leader, for the sake of Rurik's presence, please don't ask me these strange questions. You know, I have an agreement with Rurik, I don't Dare to commit acts of betrayal, no matter how rich I become."
Klavasen's impassioned speech not only expressed his loyalty to Otto, but also pledged his dedication to Rurik.
He snapped his fingers to attract the attention of Lilia, who was cleaning the floor.
"Lilia, take all the nameplates hanging on the wooden pillars!"
The girl basically understood the "second father" calling her name, and through gestures, she understood the other party's intentions.
The delicate soft hemp rope passed through the hollow of the silver and gold nameplate. From the appearance alone, Lilia felt that the pendant in her hand was a real treasure. Not only because of the material it is made of, but also because the craftsmen have really carefully processed it, so that the silver-based nameplate becomes extremely smooth.
Lilia knew that these things were what Rurik needed.
Today Rurik can stand with the big leader, which fully proves his nobility.
Lilia was always afraid in her heart. She thought that maybe her sister Svetlana was the only one who would not be afraid of the leader of the Russian people. I am afraid that I am not afraid of this Rurik at all.
She approached Rurik cautiously, "This is what you asked for, mine...my father completed it well."
"You did a good job." Rurik took all the nameplates and began to check them one by one in his hands.
Otto was surprised that his son could speak smoothly in the Novgorod language, and he was even more surprised when he saw what his son was playing with.
All the nameplates have been polished by Clavarson, and the silver luster is so beautiful!
There is also the "pattern" in the center of the nameplate, which looks like a kind of text. After some questioning, Otto found out what kind of decorations these things were. The son actually prepared a nameplate made of silver for each servant, and each servant's nameplate was different. The so-called "pattern" is the Roman alphabet, which represents the abbreviation of each maid's name.
Klavasen did have excellent gem-setting skills, which was not surprising to Otto.
Now that he's here, Otto just wants to find out, how did Klavasen create the so-called glass?
Otto, who had nothing important to do, had safely become a spectator. Perhaps his job today was to conduct an inspection of the tribe, so that he could gain some new understanding of the tribe's situation.
In an instant, the matter of blacksmithing was put aside. After all, those sword embryos still needed to be further carburized. Kawei simply used tongs to seal the furnace with an iron furnace cover with only four ventilation holes. The apprentice Kamnier, who was ordered to keep operating the animal skin airbag blower, also Stopped working.
Taking advantage of the carburizing process, Kawei and Klavason had to explain to the tribe leader personally how to make a glass.
"Okay! They are talking. Where are you two? How do you feel about being a Russian?" Rurik deliberately asked Kamne and Lilia who were gathered around him.
Kamne acted a little dull and cautious, but Lilia responded boldly: "My feeling is really strange."
"Strange? How strange?!"
"You will sleep on the ground happily. You will be happy to eat fish every day. Your life is full of leather."
"It's not you, it's us!" Rurik emphasized with a tight mouth, "Remember, you are already a Russian."
Lilia, who felt she had said the wrong thing out of excitement, quickly admitted her mistake.
"No need." Rurik waved his right hand, "It's okay for you not to adapt. You will gradually adapt to our life. However, I don't really like sleeping on a leather mat on the ground for the rest of my life."
"Rurik, you...you really don't like it?" Lilia asked.
"Of course. I have never been to your hometown, but my sister (referring to my cousin-in-law) is from your tribe. Lilia, since you mentioned sleeping on the ground. Tell your husband to spend money to build one. A house like that in your hometown. Don’t worry, I think you already know very well that your husband is a very wealthy young man."
Lilia's heart was beating wildly, and her eyes widened: "Rurik, is this an order?"
"Yes! It's an order." Rurik was no longer too lazy to pretend. He said in ancient Slavic that others could hardly understand: "In my opinion, those houses in your hometown are very good. I don't want my The tribesmen always sleep on the ground. We should learn from your experience in building houses. We should have flat wooden floors, double-story wooden wall houses with moss interlayers, and real beds. I hope that the houses of the entire tribe will change. I just think the houses in your hometown are the best."
After hearing this, a strong sense of pride suddenly surged into Lilia's heart.
She understood more or less that she was probably the woman who had married before in her manor, and Rurik learned about the appearance of the buildings in the White Tree Manor from them. Specifically, isn't Rurik referring to his home in his hometown? !
Rurik is the next leader of the Rus people, and Lilia feels that if this child can say such a thing, he will definitely value his family more than his father.
Now, she is fully aware that her father is kneeling at the feet of the Russian people like a dog. It seems a little humiliating, but in fact he is seeking a major benefit for his people.
This is what the girl thinks in her heart, but her thoughts are somewhat superficial.
Rurik, Lilia, and Kamni stayed in a quiet corner. Even though Klavasen had opened the closed furnace again and began to cover up the burning of glassware amidst Otto's exclamation, there was no Interfere with their small talk.
Rurik still wanted to talk about the house with the two children from Novgorod.
