Oran entered Carlisle County at the end of June.
Oran gave half of this place to Nanding, and the rest belongs directly to himself.
At the same time, he kept delivering documents to the leader of Galloway.
The other party spoke a branch of Old English. Olan could understand it, but he couldn't write it, so he had to bring a monk to translate.
As a superior country, Olan brought people to visit, and the leaders of the country were also thinking about how to receive them?
They moved Oran to "Dumbarton", which was the largest town in the country.
To show their respect.
But Oran was unwilling to go so deep into the heart of strangers, and finally changed the meeting place to the center of the kingdom, close to where Nanding was currently fighting the Scots.
When Oran left Carlisle County and entered new land, the first thing I noticed was that there were so many mountains.
Mountains divide the terrain, and hills and rivers are distributed among them.
Oran follows the "River Clyde" in the south.
This is the transportation hub of the kingdom. The most prosperous towns are around this river, and other places are basically deserted.
Agriculture is dominated by wheat and beans.
When Oran saw fields suitable for cultivation, he planted seedlings in almost all of them.
There was a bit of copper and iron hidden further inside, but Oran couldn't get to the bottom of it.
The sparse population makes the forests lush, providing a large amount of prey, and fur is one of the important export materials.
It is surrounded by water on three sides, and the fishy smell is very pungent when passing through the market.
Oran also saw a local specialty - bark paper.
In a place where the illiteracy rate is 99%, the priests who can read and write mostly record history and ancient myths through oral transmission because of the high cost of parchment, and occasionally use bark paper.
However, this kind of paper will be destroyed after a few years, and errors and omissions will occur when re-copying.
The historical past of errors and omissions will produce new interpretations of myths.
Some people hang a "Mother of Ravens" outside their houses, but neighbors accuse it of not being a traditional deity.
There were also priests who copied and linked together God and the ancient god Ansa and passed it down orally.
Some people hang crosses at the head of the bed and stick Odin at the end of the bed.
The temple used for sacrifice is also very special. It is divided into two entrances. The left is God when you enter, and the thunder god Thor is on the right when you enter. This is where the Viking Germanic mythology comes into being, and it has new variants and is connected with God.
It's like a hundred flowers blooming.
Oran is riding a horse. This piece of natural scenery is very beautiful, but it also represents backwardness and barbarism.
The leaders who came to receive him along the way smelled like urine, and the leather on their bodies felt like it would turn black if soaked in water.
Once the teeth are opened, they are all rotten.
The guild merchants behind him have not been here either. Most of them are at the border of Carlisle County, transporting woolen cloth and returning in exchange for some ceramic iron pieces or cattle and horses.
From Oran to his subordinates, everyone looked down upon these savages.
"Your Excellency, I wish you well." From time to time, a group of people came over to see Olan.
Well-being is their usual greeting, and Olan also replied.
On the first day Oran entered the territory, he met seven leaders. They spoke the king's name without any scruples and called him by his first name.
The Galloway nobles did not have a fixed king, and the leaders jointly promoted and competed for power, making the political situation unstable.

This also resulted in their inability to move south or north.
Even because there are various scattered islands in the country, some tribes with less than a hundred people are also vassal to them because they are close to Ireland and Scotland.
This time it was so easy to contact Oran and agree to its entry. The main reason was that the Irish Vikings had sealed off their outer seas, and the Scots began to threaten the area around Dumbarton. If they could have friendly exchanges with the southern power, it would be a very cost-effective business.
The trading caravan brought by Oran was filled with ten carts of gifts.
Every time a chief came, he would reward him a little to show his noble character.
But the Chiefs can’t seem to get enough.
In a place with tens of thousands of people, there are dozens of chiefs!
After walking for two and a half days, it still took half a day to reach the target. At night, he camped by the river, but it was also easy to find. In the middle of the night, Olan was woken up outdoors.
Those who came just now were all leaders of the Unsa faith.
This time the one who came believed in God.
Oran blessed them with the Rite of the Cross and then took out the "paper."
Touching this soft thing, several people were very excited.
This kind of item is expensive and in demand. Even if it is not used, it can be exchanged for supplies from other places.
When people have food survival needs, they will also have spiritual needs.
Why were the Britons, who had a small territory and ferocious folk customs, slowly been penetrated by God?
Because the glass, paintings, utensils, cloth, metal smelting, and farming tools that came from the world of God crushed them in all aspects. Even the smell of women is not that strong!
Oran also rewarded some silver and copper coins.
He was wearing a half-purple silk robe, with a blue jewel ring on his hand. The group of barrel-helmeted riders beside him, the armor on his body was full of majesty even under the dim moonlight.
The force and treasure were on display, worthy of the respect of this group of leaders.
They even wanted to give their daughter to Oran as a meeting gift.
Oran glanced at these Brythonic women,
Very abstract, very good,
Let "Rad the Mighty" who followed the trip handle it.
Just after finishing it, Olan wanted to take a nap, and two more people came.
One of them saw his partner as a servant, and the other wore a robe made of bearskin.
His face is very young, but because his beard is not trimmed, he looks several years older.
The thick calves and bulging chest look majestic and energetic.
He and his servants came over holding torches so that people could see more clearly. Around their necks were gemstones, gray-yellow shells, and small leather goods.
As soon as Oran entered the tent, another visitor came, which made him a little annoyed.
I heard the local guide who led the way said that it is a very small island. The land is not even connected to the main island, but a small Danshui island further north, with a population of less than 50 years old.
He waved his hand to Ladd to deal with it.
"Sir, after we learned the news, we traveled across mountains and seas and had only water for three days and three nights to get here."
As soon as he heard this, he wanted to ask for a reward, so Ladd asked someone to bring out two piles of wool products.
Two strong men deserve this.
But the leader was obviously unwilling and shouted at the top of his lungs, saying that he was coming to meet "the warrior who defeated the Vikings."
"The warrior even Ragnar is afraid of, the great Lord of the White Eagle..."
Olan hates to hear other people talk about him like this... What a discerning person!
So he came out again.
This leader is a mixed descendant of Unsa and Celts.
After long-term exposure to the island's sun, his skin becomes bronze, while his hair and beard turn black.
After years of working, the body muscles are very obvious.
"Thank you for your hard work. The scars and wrinkles on your face prove the hunger and fatigue you suffered all the way."
Oran snapped his fingers and brought over some gifts, warm food and drinks.
Normally, a gift is required in return, but this man came with nothing. Olan saw it and did not want to embarrass him and let him do what he wanted.
But this is not the purpose of this person's hard work. The reason why he is empty-handed is because the tribe is really poor.
Even if it is forced together, it is just a few pieces of silverware, which cannot compare with others.
He heard people say that the lord in front of him was very arrogant, so he shouted to Oran, "The Supreme One."
The Romans who came to England hundreds of years ago had a devastating impact on the local people.
Those who are dissatisfied can only retreat into a corner, like them, or flee into the mountains and forests, like Scotland.
Later, powerful foreign nobles were all called so respectfully by them.
This phrase means that for this leader, Oran and his party are like the Romans who came to England hundreds of years ago, extremely powerful.
"The Supreme One?!"
Oran could understand it without a translator, because the man spoke another literal translation of the pure Latin word "Caesar".
No ruler of God’s world can escape this kind of flattery.
If so, then say it again.
"You come, you meet, you conquer!"
The man bent down and spoke again, and the servant he had brought also knelt down.
The leader in the distance suddenly focused his eyes.
They knew who this kid was. After his father died of illness last month, the tribe was removed from the chiefs' meeting because there were less than thirty members of the family left.
I didn’t expect that his empty-handed and shabby look could amuse Oran!
"Hahaha!"
A warrior arrived after hard work, bowed his head and said that he was the master of Rome.
These words completely satisfy Olan's "modest" heart.
"Bember has made a small contribution to England, which is not worth mentioning..."
Along the way, the leaders gave him cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, and even a female clown, but none of them made Olan so happy.
"tell me your name?"
"Bewuk son of Brawen."
"reward!"
