In the Holy Prophet's personal worship room, Mrs. Adisha was immersed in prayer.
The hustle and bustle of the world seems to have escaped her, ever since she helped Oran, or became Oran's chess piece, and helped White Eagle eradicate the Moore family.
This "son of the devil" has no need for himself anymore.
The rumors she heard after that were that she would be sent to the palace of Her Majesty Ella in the kingdom to teach the Ella girls how to do needlework and housework.
Adisha still remembers Ella’s face, which was full of scars and looked fleshy.
This man once wanted to rob me and put her in his manor as a plaything...
From the anger at the beginning to the calmness now, Adisha has understood the situation.
He had to rely on Oran to stay away from this place surrounded by walls.
She prays every day, asking God to get her out of danger, and at the same time to put Olan off guard, hoping that one day he will think of her.
She knows what her best female weapon is, and it's hidden in her body...
This morning, she heard shouts outside the castle, the sound of horse hooves, and the sound of the city gate falling.
The castle has a side door, and most people enter and exit through this door.
This kind of movement will only occur when Oran returns.
But her room was blocked, and she could only hear the faint sound transmitted by the wind from the narrow window, and then secretly guessed.
At dusk, the scenery was beautiful today, with scattered clouds, but this had no chance for her.
"Knock...knock..."
Someone knocked on the door, and Adisha immediately resumed her prayer posture and shouted, "Come in."
Her door was not allowed to be locked which was a big shame,
At first she thought what if someone broke in?
This was an act only directed at herself. Later, she discovered that half of the castle's blocks had been reset. People who wanted to see the lord in the hall had only one way to pass. If they walked to other floors, they would be "insulted". Lord's guilt.
She clearly felt that, on the one hand, Olan was not interested in women, but on the other hand, he had a strong and terrifying desire to control. Except when the personal assistant was on vacation, it was difficult for him to have contact with anyone of the opposite sex when he was in the castle.
As a noble, I naturally know how chaotic the lives of nobles are, but no one is like Oran.
He wants to be in charge!
"Madam, this is today's food." After a fat maid brought the things in, Adisha responded with her signature fake smile. After taking it, she said, "Thank you Lord and Your Excellency for your kindness."
The fat maid didn't leave after sending it off, and said, "Today, Your Excellency wants to see you, and you will be invited to take a bath later."
Adisha's face became very strange, and after a while she said, "He... Your Excellency, what do you think?"
The maid shook her head. They were only responsible for listening and doing things they didn't understand and shouldn't ask. This was the teaching of the head maid Karin.
After dinner, Adisha was led to the bathroom in the castle.
This is only used during major festivals when bathing and changing clothes are required. It has pipelines connected to the sewage hole below.
Olan's use of this place depends on his mood, and occasionally he will call his two lovers to join him.
After taking a long-awaited bath, Adisha enjoyed receiving the services of the maids. They used soft brushes to brush over her skin skillfully.
This is the treatment that a lord should have. She has not been served like this for a long time.
"Above all others, the servants do everything for them. This is the lord."
The bath lasted for nearly an hour. After it was over, Adisha put on a new noblewoman's dress.
Then he was taken to Oran's lord's bedroom to wait.
The decoration of Oran's room is similar to that of Rowling Castle. It is also divided into two sides by a corridor. The study and warehouse are on the left, and the bedroom is on the right.
After Adisha entered Oran's bedroom, the servant said, "Today, madam, please wait for your Excellency."
"Okay, you go out first."
But the maid didn't go out. There were a lot of things in this room. Karin, the head maid, told her that she needed to wait until the Lord showed up.
Although Adisha was upset, she had no choice but to lie down on the bed.
Anyway, Olan asked someone to wash himself, maybe that was the point?
In short, this time, I will not be like last time, I must seize this opportunity.
The hourglass in the corner of the room slowly falls, symbolizing the passing of time.
Waiting for the "trial" to come, the nervousness made people more and more tired. In the end, Adisha's eyelids really began to sink, and she slowly fell asleep.
The nobles were pampered, and even if Orlan caught her, she didn't need to do any heavy work, and her physical fitness was generally not good, but this maid still kept her spirits up, and she was very lucky to be able to work in the castle.
The head maid also said that if any maid who has been in the castle for more than seven years, once she leaves for some reason, she will help arrange marriages and arrange a cabin to solve the worries in life.
Moreover, you can just stand and lean against the wall secretly. This is much better than going to the ground to be exposed to the wind and sun.
The two women were waiting for Olan, but Olan was in the lord's hall, discussing with his ministers and burning the midnight oil.
The candle was extinguished and lit again, but Olan had no intention of ending it.
Today, a young priest came to his castle.
During the last trip to Dan City, Olan met the Archbishop of Kent. In order to let the Archbishop and the King let go of Kunsang's behavior, he made a little extra guarantee to both of them.
Among them, he told the Archbishop that Durham could receive more of God’s gospel and that the Archbishop should remember to send people over for friendly exchanges.
Generally speaking, if priests from distant places who do not have adjacent territory come to greet us, it is mostly to hold celebrations and raise funds for building churches and the like.
It's a long way from the Kingdom of Kent to the Durham area, but Oran wants everyone to come, so give some.
Unexpectedly, the little priest looked horrified and fainted as soon as he entered the city. This made Olan, who was originally going to favor Adisha, postpone the time and wait for the young priest to wake up.
When the man woke up, it was already nine o'clock at night. He was frightened all over and shouted,
"The infidels are coming, they are coming, many people are dead, they are trampling on our land!"
After the little priest finished speaking, his whole body was shaking. It was not until he drank two more glasses of warm water that he slowly calmed down.
"Sir, thank you for your hospitality. I was ordered by the Archbishop to go out to find fellow believers for help," the little priest said.
The reason why he came to see Olan was that he was in Dan City at that time. Olan told the archbishop to ask the archbishop to send someone to preach the gospel (raise funds) in the territory, and this little priest happened to be entrusted with this task by the archbishop and became one of the traveling personnel. one.
Unexpectedly, on the day of his departure, he would encounter Vikings attacking the church and causing chaos in the country. He went all the way north and finally escaped to Durham.
"Who is your enemy?"
"The Danes (Danish Vikings) came ashore in two waves. In the first wave, there were not many people ashore, only about 300 people. I heard that their leader encountered a shipwreck and the ship drifted north, and his whereabouts are unknown.
The remaining group, leaderless, was quickly repulsed by us;
But after the enemy retreated, they did not land again for more than ten days. They said they wanted to avenge the "Sword Wolf" and "Big Bear" who died in the previous shipwreck, and they also wanted to complete the "Viking Oracle".
This time there were more than 1,500 people, no, at least 2,000. They set foot on our land, set fire to kill people, the cathedral has been destroyed by them, and the archbishop also... In order to protect the church, he refused to beg for mercy, but was inflicted with the most severe punishments. Horrible evil!"
Thinking of that scene, the little priest who was hiding on the ceiling of the church and seeing everything almost vomited in front of Oran.
Because the Vikings executed the 80-year-old Archbishop of Kent with the blood eagle!
All the bones were dug out!
As the first country among the Seven Kingdoms to believe in God, the density of churches in the country far exceeds that of the Six Kingdoms.
At this moment, this place is under unprecedented attack.
“These Gentiles directly killed people in churches, toppled icons, and left arrogant words of provocation with human blood!”
"What arrogant words?"
"Winter is coming!"
Oran asked repeatedly until the little priest could no longer tell any useful information, then he was allowed to rest. Then a meeting was held, and all the important officials in the castle came to discuss it.
The Vikings had two harsh words.
One sentence is "Listen to my roar". This sentence is specifically used in the east. It is said to the Slavic neighbors in Finland or further east. In these places, in the winter season, if you go out to urinate, it will not take long for your scalp and hair to freeze. numb. The bird weather is similar to that of Viking Island.
The phrase "winter is coming" was mostly used by Vikings in areas along the coast of the North Sea with a relatively mild climate, such as Frankia, England, and the Imbrian Peninsula, which are not covered by ice and snow.
These two sentences will not be used in ordinary small-scale battles. They will only be used in invasions with more than a thousand people.
The words "winter is coming" have become the special language of the Ragnar clan in the past twenty years.
As the pinnacle of pirates, he defeated challengers one after another.
Ragnar, who is seventy years old, has white hair and beard, but his face does not look more than fifty.
Full of energy, he has numerous illegitimate children and lovers.
This approach has its pros and cons. He has slept with too many women, and his interpersonal relationships are constantly expanding.
But there are also women who fish in troubled waters, pretending that they have Ragnar's flesh and blood, and want to share his fame and future inheritance.
Ragnar inherited the reputation of the blood of "Sea King". Under him, the strongest "seven pirate leaders" or "kings" in the Vikings,
Either he is his son's blood, or he is an ally.
Even if they are neutral and dissatisfied, they dare not confront him openly.
Some people say that he is the descendant of "Odin", the guardian of the ocean.
Viking leaders or nobles who are not related to him by blood, but who respect him, will even call him "daddy" when they see him!
This is the highest respect for "elderly" "unrelated" people in Viking tradition.
With Ragnar here, the Vikings are invincible, because even if local battles are lost, more terrifying battles will continue to come under his leadership.
Winter is coming - if the Lords of Heaven along the North Sea hear this, they must be prepared to face the terrifying invasion of the Ragnar clan!
This sentence also made Olan's heart that wanted to conquer Adisha today become very cold.
The danger is getting closer.
Olan called everyone to the hall to help him analyze.
