"Ulf, I asked you to hunt wolves, why did you come back so early?" After Hrov calmed down, he immediately asked Su Chen. You must know that hunting wolves is a very hard job and often requires tracking wolves. The group then sets traps around their hunting territory to catch lone wolves, which often takes about a month.
"We have completed the mission, so we are back." Suchen said to Hrov.
"Oh, how many furs did you bring back?" Hrov was a little surprised.
"One piece." Suchen glanced at Hrov and said to him.
"What?" Hrov's face suddenly darkened. He dared to come back with only one wolf skin, because the hunting team had to bring back at least ten wolf skins.
"How can this show the sincerity of East Hamar's alliance?" Visbyar's envoy also laughed. In fact, many Visby people hated this alliance. Their homes were burned down and some relatives were captured. In East Hamar, many radical Visbyans even proposed revenge, so the Visbyar covenant made them angry.
"Ulf, if there is no gift, our covenant will be broken. Do you know what you will face?" Hrov said to Suchen with a straight face.
"Of course I know, but I still ask the lord and the envoy to take a look at the gifts I brought back." Suchen said to Hrov and others, which aroused everyone's interest.
Suchen turned around and opened the door. The cold wind blew into the hall. People couldn't help but tighten their clothes. At this time, Verside and Little Harald pushed a cage covered with linen. After walking in, a low roar came from the cage, which surprised everyone.
"What's in that?"
"Like a wild beast?"
"Is it possible to live like a wolf?"
People speculated about what was inside and whispered to each other. Even Hrov leaned forward and twirled his beard.
"This is our gift to Visbiar, a real black wolf king." Su Chen stepped forward and grabbed the end of the cloth, pulled hard, and the cloth slipped down, revealing a calf-sized animal from inside. , a big black wolf with shiny fur.
"Oh~~." The Black Wolf King raised his head and roared. People in the hall suddenly panicked, and some people even grabbed the weapons at their waists.
"It's so, so beautiful." The lord's wife and the female chief of Osa stood up almost at the same time. They were attracted by this beautiful black wolf. Women's sensitivity to beauty and fashion is always ahead of their time.
"This gift is really precious." The messenger from Visbiar also widened his eyes. Compared with ordinary wolf skins, this pure black living wolf is more precious.
"Oh, this." Hrov intends to go back on his word. To be honest, if he wears such a wolfskin cloak, he will look more majestic. However, he has already offered the gift to the envoy in person. If he goes back on his word now, he will break the covenant. own.
"Thank you Lord, if Visbiar sees this gift, he will be very happy." The messenger turned around and said to Hrov.
"Yes, if there is this gift, Gotland and East Hamar will become strong allies." At this time, even the female chief of Osa no longer bothered that Su Chen came back alive. Her eyes were full of hatred. desire.
The face of the lord's wife turned gloomy. She walked to Hrov's side and wanted to whisper a few words, but Hrov waved his hand with a straight face, completely unwilling to listen to what the lord's wife said.
"Okay, that's it. Ulf, although you didn't bring me enough wolf skins, this precious gift is enough to offset it. Now I order you to feed this wolf well, and then follow us to Sig. Tina." Hrov ordered Suchen.
"Oh oh oh oh~~~." Everyone in the hall raised their wine glasses excitedly. They were happy that such a majestic wolf appeared in their territory, and they cheered even more for being able to gain new allies.
With a satisfied smile on his face, Hrov raised the horn cup in his hand and gestured to everyone, but he did not see the resentful look of the lord's wife behind him.
In the early morning of the next day, five dragon-headed longships had already been moored at the pier. Hrov held his head high and led his personal warriors. The slaves who served him carried boxes, which were filled with his accessories and clothes. As the lord Herov, Luo Fu is already relatively wealthy.
"It's dangerous to go to Sigtuna this time. I should go with this damn wound." And Su Chen looked at Vargas lying in his house. The wounds from the last fierce battle with the wolves were not there yet. Healing, he struggled to get up, but fell heavily back onto the bed.
"You can rest in peace and recover. If you need anything, call Harald and he will help you." Su Chen stepped forward and said to Vargas.
After comforting Vargas, Su Chen turned and walked into his bedroom. Here he also had a wooden box. He opened the wooden box and took out the hidden sword. This hidden sword that he made and designed himself is his trump card. , after equipping the hidden sword, he put down his sleeves, then picked up the axe, put on the buckler, and together with Verside, dragged the wooden box containing black charcoal to the dock.
"They are here." Seeing Su Chen appear with the Black Wolf King's wooden box, Hrov nodded with satisfaction, and several slaves quickly stepped forward to help them load the Black Wolf King onto the ship.
"Wait for me." Just as the longship was about to sail, Ange's voice suddenly sounded from the dock, and she appeared with a round shield and an ax on her back.
"Set the boat." Hrov glanced at Ange on the dock and ordered the slaves rowing the boat.
"Dong dong dong dong~~~." The drummer at the stern of the long boat began to beat the sheepskin drum. When the drum sounded, the long boat began to slowly row out of the pier. Ange did not follow and could only watch helplessly. Watch the fleet leave.
Su Chen held the mast rope with his hand. He looked at Ange on the dock with some curiosity. She had not seen Su Chen before setting off, and she seemed to know something. When the sea breeze blew, Su Chen swayed. The head, anyway, Ange is no longer important now, he must focus on Sigtuna.
"Ange." Hyde came to Ange timidly at this time. She originally wanted to say goodbye to Suchen, but she was very afraid of Hrov, so she only dared to hide in the corner. She only dared to leave after the fleet left. When I came out, I saw Ange who had been standing on the dock.
"Hyde, what did Ulf ask you to do? You must tell me." Ange found Hyde beside him, immediately turned around and grabbed Hyde's arm, shook her desperately and asked.
"No, no, Ulf won't let me tell others." Hyde said to Ange with a pale face, shaking his head.
"Follow me." Ange immediately became angry when she heard this. She grabbed Hyde's arm and dragged her towards Su Chen's house.
There were only two slaves of Suchen and Vargas who was recuperating in the house. Angrily Ange appeared with a frightened Hyde and began to rummage through the house, searching for something. This made Vargas very angry. Puzzled.
"For Odin's sake, Ange, what are you going to do?" Vargas said to Ange while lying on the bed.
"Ulf must have some plan. He is planning something without telling us." Ange said angrily to Vargas.
"Ha, do you know now? He has been planning all along." Vargas tilted his head and said to the angry Ange.
"What do you mean?" Ange stood in front of Vargas in confusion and asked him.
"Ulf is such an unpredictable guy. Do you remember the plan by the fireplace? You have never doubted why he knew things in such a distant place?" Vargas said to Ange.
"That was just his overly fanciful plan. I just listened to it as a story. After all, he is the only poet in our entire territory." Ange said with a sneer.
"But he was very sure, as if he had really been there." Vargas looked at the wooden beams and roofs above, and he said to Ange as if to himself.
"Then you are also a lunatic." Ange narrowed her eyes and said coldly with her hands on her hips.
"Maybe, but Ulf saved my life and I can give my life for him, so Ange, if you try to harm him or hinder his plan, I may kill you." Gus smiled, but the laughter hurt his wounds, causing him to frown and grin, but he still insisted on finishing.
"Okay, I'm welcome at any time. Let's see who dies first." Ange sneered. She stepped forward and slapped Vargas's wound, causing Vargas to groan in pain.
"Ange, I will tell you." Hyde said to Ange quickly.
