The next morning, when Oran woke up, Mier was not at her bedside.
A maid is still just a maid until she is given clear instructions by her master. This is the status code of this era. Do not break the rules easily.
After Oran stood up, he called out. As a personal maid, Mi'er was waiting outside and immediately came in to help change clothes and wipe her face.
After experiencing the human affairs for the first time, Mi'er's heart became closer to Oran.
The strength that fell on Olan's body was light and careful.
At this time, the English lords were far less wealthy than the southern lords, and they did not wear the same clothes as the Frankish nobles. It required the joint efforts of many people to complete the task.
Mi'er could help Oran get dressed by herself, and there was an older maid with a girl beside her.
The girl was still childish, holding a basin, and the old maid helped wipe Oran's body.
In addition to bedside servants, the older the personal servants, the better. They are loyal and careful.
Oran didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
In a sense, all the girls belong to Oran.
Why is the owner so "shy" about items?
After putting on his underwear and outerwear, and putting on the last lord's ring, Oran said, "In addition to serving me, you don't need to do any chores from now on."
"Yes, sir." Mi'er bowed her head respectfully, a hint of sweetness flashing in her heart.
But the head maid is still the old maid who has served Oran and his father for many years.
At noon, Oran came to the hall to have dinner, and all the nobles he had summoned before were now present.
They are:
Armand. Knight Oswan, lord of a village,
Ladd. Knight Walker, Lord of Two Villages,
Father Ulf, the priest in charge of the area.
The three of them are all important ministers (general managers) in their respective fields. Each of them brought a few men with them, but their men were not allowed to enter the hall.
After the three people entered the hall.
"Sir, long time no see, I would like to pay my respects to you."
Bending down and taking off their hats, the three of them saw Olan and said hello in unison.
"Everyone, sit down. Today we caught some fresh fish and slaughtered a chicken. You guys have a try."
At this time in England, the priests who believed in the "Illuminati" were far less strict about fasting than the priests in the south.
They drank alcohol and ate meat, and their interpretation of the scriptures was based on their own needs.
During the Roman Empire, the highly unified theological scriptures gradually became localized, with different doctrines preached by local priests appearing.
It is different from the biblical meaning of the city of Rome.
In the near future, the battle between heresy and orthodoxy will create a greater conflict that is as big as the Viking invasion.
…
"Thank you Lord for giving me food and clothing..."
Ulf went to the table, chanted a few holy chants, and drank sour fruit wine.
The other two knights also tore up the bread with their hands and chewed it loudly after praying.
They behaved so rudely that Oran would have thought he would have been sprayed with their saliva if the dining table had not been some distance away.
Wulf's seat was closest to Oran's table, and Oran could see clearly that the priest's arms were strong.
Yes, in addition to chanting scriptures, Ulf can also judge heretics.
More than sixty years ago, a shipwreck brought a group of lost Vikings to a seaside town in southern England.
Hungry wolves enter the flock, wealth blinds thieves, and they commit terrible crimes.
The history of England begins with the massacre of monasteries by the Vikings. After being robbed by these Vikings, even the priests have now turned to a combination of "poetry and swords".
There are many priests who can ride a horse and wield a sword.
Today is the first time Olan has convened a meeting of the nobles in his territory since he became the new baron.
His eyes then looked at Armand.
The life of this man floated through his mind.
Knight Armand was the third son of a small noble family. He was born in southern England. He served as a squire to three knights. At the age of twenty-two, he came to the "Northumbria region" to participate in a noble contest and was defeated in Austria. In the hands of Lan’s father,
But his courage was appreciated and he became a member of the Vijay family. Ten years later, he fought bravely and became the leading knight who dominated the village of hundreds of people.
"This glass of wine blesses you sir, praise the Lord, and may the Lord bless you and keep you free from illness and disaster."
Armand knows who gave him the status he has today, so his attitude has always been very respectful.
Rad on the side, as the leader of the two villages, is also a knight, with a timid personality.
His status is higher than that of Armand because his family is an old man who has served the Vijay family for generations. Starting from his grandfather, he was the knight retinue of Grandfather Oran.
Knight Ladd also took up the wine and expressed his blessings for Oran's recovery.
"You guys drink."
Oran waved his hand and said that his body was not suitable for excessive drinking.
Father Ulf also picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Where is County Durham's number one warrior (Sorg)? He's not here yet?"
Oran put down the food, wiped his fingers, and sighed, "Everyone, a regrettable thing happened yesterday. Our warrior Sog wanted to assassinate me."
The three people present looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and the glasses full of wine stopped in mid-empty.
Then Gedo, son of Sog, appeared, with Nandin following him in case he attempted to counterattack Oran.
"Everyone, let me explain."
Gedo was fed a small amount of "poppy wine" in the morning, which is a drug used by doctors to treat body pain. Although his body did not fall into coma, it was difficult for him to exert strength.
After Gedo sat at the dining table, he told everyone the whole story with a sad face.
The general idea is that his father Sog has betrayed the lord Oran, and then Gedo also took out a piece of paper from the Vikings' letter to his father Sog, which praised the greatness of the god Odin.
Disloyalty to the lord, betrayal of faith, even Olan's fall from horse and coma a few days ago can be attributed to Sog.
Father Ulf was in disbelief at the beginning, but by the end, he was dubious.
"show me."
Ulf took the letter and read the words on it.
When he was thirteen years old, while still working as a fisherman, he was captured by a small group of Vikings.
He relied on "pretend to convert and repent inwardly" to save his life.
Three years later, he served as Viking cannon fodder and set foot on English soil again, carrying out small-scale robberies.
Later, the Vikings failed, giving Ulf the opportunity to return to his homeland.
He concealed the painful past of surrendering to the pagans and portrayed himself as a young hero who dealt with the Vikings.
As a result, he was received by an English archbishop and allowed to enter the church to study, which is where he is today.
"Woo... click... rub..."
Ulf read the letter, pronouncing the syllables (Viking) that only Oran understood.
The Vikings used an alphabet called "rune".
This kind of letters are long lines. The letters are very similar to each other and have no aesthetic feeling. They were ridiculed by the Franks as barbaric language.
Ulf knew a lot of runes, and finally put down the paper and said with a sad expression, "Our warrior has switched to the Ability God!"
The other two, Armand. Oswan Knight and Ladd. Walker Knight doesn't even recognize his native language, so there's no need to read it.
This letter was forged by Oran. His "scholar" trait gave him an extremely high talent for words and languages. In the past sixteen years, this body has learned local English, Frankish, Latin, and Viking.
In this era, language is extremely important.
Different regions have different cultures and customs. If the monarch does not understand the language of the newly conquered people, he will have to delegate the rule. It will take a long time to stabilize the situation.
There is no common language on the mainland, only relatively strong languages.
English corresponds to the Saxon descendants on the island, and Frankish corresponds to southern England and the powerful neighbor Frank.
Latin allowed him to understand scriptures, communicate with priests, and, if he had the opportunity in the future, communicate with the nobles of "Eastern Rome"
Or business groups trade and communicate, and Viking language is used to deal with evil neighbors.
The four gates Olan has mastered are enough for him to use on millions of square kilometers of land.
