After the Queen was taken away, she was put into a single room surrounded by walls.
And it's not as spacious as before, barely enough for people to lie down on.
There are no scriptures here, and the only ventilation is a coin-sized opening in the door.
Nobles should not be humiliated easily and must be treated with respect.
But the existence of the queen seriously conflicts with the status of the saint. Both of them belong to the military and religious nobles, and Oran only needs one.
Downey felt guilty when he saw the Queen being treated like this, and asked Olan if he could be more lenient.
Oran just replied to him, "Your Excellency, when someone becomes a king, someone must become a traitor; when someone becomes a bitch and becomes a saint, naturally a saint must become a bitch!"
When Oran sent his servants to deliver porridge, he asked them to threaten the queen again, and if she refused, she would be tortured.
Time was running out, so after Oran arrived in Yorkshire, he inspected the local castles.
Accompanied by Gliese, he now plans to abandon all the coastal areas except for necessary port strongholds.
Around the main city of Yorkshire, many small fortresses were built.
Time is limited and too much stone and concrete is used from time to time.
However, adding enough arrow towers, deep ditches, and traps such as fences can increase the reaction time when the enemy approaches.
"Vikings are like a gust of wind, and we should also have a means of delivering messages." Gliese wanted to support.
This Oran had already thought about it and replied, "Sentinels, scouts, signal fires, etc., please make a list for me, and I will see if there is any way to support you from King's Landing. If you can harvest food, collect it in advance and think about storage." Just click it and bury it in the ground. Don't let these evil wolves get it.
They are riding a dragon boat and cannot bring much food. We have more people than them. I will accept four for one. As long as each battle can be extended by one day, half a day, or even an hour,
Zooming in on the entire English battlefield, even for countless hours, Ben Bo would drag them to death!"
Two days later Oran set out in a Viking longship on the kingdom's river branches.
This is the hull captured from the Vikings after the Battle of Repton.
To defeat the enemy, you must understand their habits, maneuvers, and tactics.
Two long boats, each with more than ten soldiers.
They imitated the Vikings and used this hull on inland river islands and through swamps.
"Remember, if this place is blocked and cannot pass, then it will be difficult for the Vikings to come here. We can save our troops for defense."
When crossing a certain river, Titan gave an order, but Oran stopped him.
"Can you carry the boat?" Oran asked.
"Carry the boat?"
"How did the Vikings rob the Franks back then? The Franks sent out heavy troops on the main rivers. They used smaller hulls, or even had soldiers carry the hulls, and use their feet to cross the blocked uninhabited water and grass areas. Give it to me. Try it!"
Olan not only gave orders, but also did it himself. Some rivers could be crossed in this way, so Olan had people record them, which were dangerous spots.
If you really can't pass, ask people to go back and find garbage and driftwood, and throw them all at this waypoint.
He spent four days on the kingdom's rivers from morning to night, crossing dozens of tributaries, and finally experienced the feeling of the Vikings coming from the ocean.
The moment he landed, Olan's face was haggard and his whole body was covered with insect bites. The same was true for the soldiers, but his endurance had indeed improved a lot.
Oran took a big gulp of the water that Karin brought to him, and said to his subordinates, "You know why the Vikings are so cruel.
They traveled through the fierce waves. At night, the water rolled up higher than the castle. For several days and nights, they ate cold food and were rolled up on the deck.
If anything goes wrong, you will die if you fall into the water.
There was no one around who could help, so they sacrificed their lives.
So after landing, the only thought was to steal and kill us all!
Before you repel the Vikings, teach me this method. Our lords everywhere are familiar with the distribution of any water area in our territory..."
At this point, Oran has come full circle and is back in Yorkshire.
That night, Oran came to the garden pavilion of the castle and looked up at the night stars.
Karin accompanied him and asked, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency."
Olan didn't speak. Karin wanted to hear Olan's voice more and talked a lot. Then she casually mentioned, "I heard that you encountered some trouble when you were trying the queen. Did you solve it?"
Olan was lying on the soft lap. It was very different from the wooden board that could kill people a few days ago.
It was a rare moment of relaxation, and Oran felt so comfortable that he almost fell asleep as the cool night breeze blew by.
"What star is the brightest right now?"
Olan's eyelids gradually became heavier and he asked casually, but Karin's answer made him open his eyes.
"North Star?"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Oran slowly straightened his body.
The twinkling stars were like beads. Oran recited the North Star twice.
what is it?
Oran fell into thinking...
Finally, his eyes lit up and he looked at Karin, "Do you know what the Vikings called it?"
Karin shook her head, and Oran replied, "The Eye of Odin."
"Um?"
"The Vikings said that these are the eyes of Odin. He looks at the people who believe in him in the night sky and guides them forward. Sailors in some areas of Ansa call this kind of star the 'rudder star' .”
Karin doesn't understand anything, but she is extremely obsessed with the Lord who can tell her various stories.
Oran touched Karin's face, "Different regions, different languages, different habits, different beliefs, the names of the stars in the sky are different. I forgot that I had something to do, and finally remembered!"
"What is it?"
"Unified (mainstream) language and writing."
"Isn't it good now?"
"I debated the Bible with Edmund, using local languages, dialects, Latin, and even Frankish. This is a trouble and affects communication.
If a Scottish mountain man does not know the language of Wessex, then there is no place in his world. Once he knows it, he can talk to nearly a million English people, blend in with them, and open up a new world.
】
My New Testament is written in our Northumbrian language, and it will be translated into different dialects when traveling to other Unsa places. In this process, information may be omitted, and it may be misinterpreted or transformed.
When commanding the Northern Crusade, many peasants and soldiers from other counties could not understand the nobles who spoke dialects, so the benefits of unifying the pronunciation of the language are infinite!"
Karin couldn't understand what Oran said, so she could only ask, "Do you want to create?"
"No, this is too much resistance, but I can absorb the languages from other regions of Ansa, transform the words and phrases in our language family that are difficult to pronounce, and finely modify the words we are used to, simplifying them and making them easier to remember."
Then Oran sang a hymn from the Old Testament book of Ezekiel.
Oran kissed Karin and sang in the native Ansa language,
“I will dress you in colorful garments, put embroidered shoes on you, put a linen turban on your head, I will girdle you with ribbons, I will adorn you with bracelets…and I will put a beautiful crown on your head. , and gold earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown.”
Karin thought it sounded good, but when Olan sang in Latin again, the taste changed again, full of a sense of rhythm, which made people like it even more.
"Understood? I compiled and created from the Old Testament, mostly transliterating Latin, which is wrong!
After several years or more than ten years, it may still be impossible to expand the number of users.
But if it can be matched with the local language, consistent with the phonology, and allows people to sing in the most natural way and in a new way, then this language can become a strong accent!"
The more Olan thought about it, the more excited he became. He stretched out his fingers and wrote "Olan" on Karin's collarbone.
Nowadays, Karin has learned a lot about culture. Olan writes very slowly, and she probably feels what the word is.
Then Oran wrote a very similar word, but with fewer strokes.
"This is?"
“This is a new coinage, Son of God, and there will be many new words in the New Testament,
They are all simplified versions of the language we use so that they don’t have to spend time memorizing them.
And in the long run, when they see my name,
Slowly, you will develop a feeling of respect, power, and even sacredness towards this word. This is a subconscious concept. "
Taking the Northumbrian pronunciation language as the main body and absorbing other Anglican languages,
The Latin alphabet used on the island is used as the main body, and it is modified into a new script that can be linked to the New Testament, and is simpler and easier to understand.
There were still many details, but Karin was already dizzy, so Oran hugged her.
"You made me think of this, and I want to reward you."
"It's...not good here."
Karin looked a little embarrassed at the lights on the castle in the distance.
"Turn out the lights for Uncle Ben!"
After Oran finished speaking, the servant shouted, and the castle, which originally still had light, quickly entered a state of deathly silence, and finally only the Sheriff's room was left.
The Gliese brothers and sisters on the castle looked at the light in the garden in the distance, each thinking.
Then the maids came to the garden and pulled apart a very long cloth.
A total of six people pulled apart three sides and then fixed the pillars into the ground.
This was a way for nobles to quickly pull out a cloth wall to cover their eyes from a distance when traveling.
"Your Mightiness!"
Karin fell into the majesty of Oran.
"One day, when I ask the sun to go down, it will do what I want!"
