Ulf felt a little embarrassed. He had unknowingly performed a short movie for Lord Smolan Yar. Do you want to ask him to collect the copyright fee? Of course, this was just a complaint in his heart. Early the next morning , Ulf found that there was no one in the house. He walked out of the lord's house. People greeted him as if nothing happened. Even Yaot Vadir, who had been following him, was nowhere to be seen.
"This is convenient." Ulf glanced around and walked on the street. As expected, because of his magical light and shadow magic, the people of Kamal respected him very much. Some people even walked by him. They store the soil from their footprints in the village, believing that the soil will protect children from getting sick.
Ulf was still hanging out with the children, but today he gave the children an extra task and promised that if they could do it, he would give them delicious food and interesting toys. In order to obtain these toys and food, the children They happily agreed, because this task was very simple.
"Dear Lord, tonight there will be the most brilliant performance in history." After that, Ulf found Lord Smolan Yar and told him.
""Oh, what a show. "Lord Smolan Yar sat on the chair and couldn't help but lean forward and asked Ulf.
"Odin's dinner." Ulf said to Lord Smolan Yar.
"Odin's dinner party, what does that mean?" Lord Smolanyar asked curiously. It's not that he didn't understand the literal meaning. According to legend, Odin, the father of the gods, likes to summon brave warriors from the world to participate. Have your own dinner, drink and have fun with yourself, and listen to the adventure stories of the soldiers.
"Yes, that's what I mean. I will invite Odin, the father of the gods, to come to Kamal to hold a banquet and celebrate with the heroic warriors in the territory." Ulf told Smolanya Er said.
"How is this possible?" Smolanyar shook his head in disbelief, but he thought of Ulf's mysterious stories and the light and shadow magic last night. These seemed not to be possessed by the mortal world. Maybe He really can do it.
Thinking of this, Smolan Yar couldn't help but get excited. People thought that the lord of the Kamal tribe was a timid and cowardly person who did not dare to participate in any risky activities. But if the legendary Odin comes to this land and comes with He had a dinner together, so if word spread, who else would dare to say that he was a cowardly and incompetent lord.
"I will announce the news immediately." Smolanyar stood up happily, while Ulf stood aside solemnly, and told Smolanyar that he needed the help of the entire lord hall and tools, hoping that People can help him.
"No problem, I will issue the order. Today you represent my rights." In order to see Odin's arrival with his own eyes, Smolanyar immediately ordered and gave Ulf the corresponding rights.
The entire Kamal tribe has learned the news that Odin is coming tonight. They are all eagerly looking forward to this feast. At the same time, under Ulf's order, they rebuilt the Lord's Hall and started to decorate the hall with many wooden boards. Divided into many small spaces, this strange behavior aroused Smolanyar's curiosity.
"Dear lord, this is just to show the brave warriors that only through the rugged, confusing and dangerous road can we reach Odin's banquet." Ulf calmly carried a wooden board. Smolanyar responded to the inspection.
"So that's it." Smolanyar couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing this. In Nordic mythology, only those who have experienced dangers and great adventures can sit at the same table as Odin. It is obvious that Ulf's method is the same. It was a trick and deception, but as long as he thought of sitting with Odin, Smolanyar acquiesced.
For a whole day, the lord's hall was filled with the sound of hammering nails and wooden boards. The free people and slaves of the Kamal tribe turned the originally majestic lord's hall into a maze, making it difficult for anyone who entered to quickly get out of the hall. leave.
"It's getting late, nail all the windows." Ulf directed the people as the overseer. He ordered the people in Kamal to nail the windows and only light dim candles in the hall.
"Is it finally done?" Smolanyar brought his family and followers back from hunting in the forest. He couldn't wait to tell his stories to the father of the gods. Of course, he told those stories by the fireplace. Fantasy.
"Only one thing." Ulf looked embarrassed and said to Smolanyar.
"What is it?" Smolanyar asked quickly.
"This banquet can only be attended by warriors. After all, the father of the gods likes brave warriors the most." Ulf blinked and said to Smolanyar.
"That's right." Smolanyar was a little confused, but still nodded.
"But freedmen and slaves also helped complete it. If they are not allowed to participate, there will definitely be dissatisfaction." Ulf sighed, glanced at the busy freedmen, and said to Smolanyar.
"That's true, not to mention that the hall can't accommodate so many people at this time." Smolanyar nodded slightly. He understood what Ulf meant. In fact, he didn't want ordinary Kamal people to ruin this event. banquet.
"Then there is only one way, and that is for you, as the lord, to issue an order for the free people and slaves to go to the seaside to greet the gods, saying that the gods will come from the sea, and hope that they can express their love to the gods with songs and laughter. Marr's enthusiasm." Ulf leaned close to Smolanyar's ear and whispered to him.
"Good idea." Smolanyar couldn't help but said with a smile, and he patted Ulf's strong shoulder appreciatively.
Ulf took a step back humbly. He bowed exaggeratedly to Lord Smolan Yar, but when he bent down, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Smolan Yar was not a stupid person. From his caution, It can be seen that he protects his territory, but everyone has his own inner demon. Smolanyar's inner demon is his own reputation. He longs to be famous like other Viking warriors, but he cannot Leave your own territory.
Night fell once again on this territory, the door of the lord's hall opened, and the warriors who thought they were brave came here, while the free people and slaves were sent to the coast by Smolan Yar, leaving them there Welcome and please the gods with laughter and songs.
"Can you see the Father of the Gods through here?" Smolanyar and his wives were the first to stand in front of the gate. They saw that this place was covered with wooden boards and various narrow passages, and they felt very interesting.
"Wow hahaha." The children of Smolanyar regarded this as a game. They got in first, and Smolanyar also bent down and walked in. The winding passages and the same partitions inside time, it will give people a feeling of disorientation.
Kamal's warriors entered one after another, and soon the hall was filled with people's exclamations, which were gradually submerged in the maze.
"Well, it's almost time!" Ulf stood at the door. He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. There should be a signal on the coast there, but he was a little unsure because the child's character was not good. reliable.
In the dark night sky, faint singing and laughter came to Ulf's ears. They were the voices of free people and slaves who were sent to the coast. At this moment, he saw the coast Bonfires lit up one after another on the edge, and the lights were lined up in a row.
"I hope they can see it." Seeing the light appear, Ulf breathed a sigh of relief. With the preparations made in the previous few days, he finally deceived the people of Kamal into the maze they made. Now he only needs to wait for Wagg Si and others can just come.
"Creak." Ulf closed the door and locked it with the chain he had prepared. Just as he was about to turn around, a voice came from behind.
"You are indeed a spy." This voice made all of Ulf's muscles tense. He frowned and slowly turned around, but his face pretended to be relaxed.
