Vargas glared at Olaf in front of him, but Olaf was not afraid. The soldiers of the Bear and Wolf Brothers did not know what fear was, but the air in the entire tomb became solemn, and a desperate fight could break out at any time.
"This is my nephew. Although he has a reckless personality, he has no malicious intentions." At this time, Bjorn broke the heavy atmosphere and said in a tone of teaching his nephew.
"That's enough of Vargas." Seeing Bjorn say this, Ulf certainly couldn't really have a conflict with Bjorn's nephew. He put his hand on Vargas's shoulder and advised him.
Olaf was also a little confused. He frowned. He didn't expect Bjorn to call him his nephew. This title left him alone. Apart from the brothers of the Bear and Wolf Brotherhood, he had no relatives. Olaf is a little uncomfortable with it.
"Ulf, our people have always lived like this. Even if we use force to organize them, there is probably nothing we can do." Bjorn roughly understood what Ulf meant. In order to fight against the Christians in the south, we should Transform the entire North tribe into a more tightly organized society.
As a king, Bjorn certainly hopes that this will become a reality, because a complete and well-organized society can make his throne more stable, and can even be completely handed over to his son, grandson, and grandson's grandson, so in his heart Bjorn I agree.
However, it is impossible for the North tribe, who are used to being free and loose, to agree to this way of life. In order to maintain this kind of high-pressure, sophisticatedly organized society, a large and small violent organization is needed, which is tantamount to internal friction.
"You can't help it." Olaf pursed his lips. I kept thinking about how to solve that problem. Finally, during a festival in East Hamar, I accidentally saw the Odin wood statue that people had erected in the town. Schlick remembered something.
That matter, the mystery of the Easter stone statues in Meizhong's past life is called a mystery. Although there is no speculation that aliens built the stone statues, after research by scientists, it is believed that they were built by the islanders of Easter Island. of.
The reason why those stone statues were built was not to unite the seventeen tribes. When the stone statues were built, each tribe was like a sophisticated machine, cooperating and organizing with each other. Through beliefs and wonders, Easter Island would be because the islanders were involved in the competition for resources. in internal strife.
"Rituals, magnificent temples, and rules will unite the tribes of North, and Odin will order you to conquer the entire world, so that you will not have enough power to deal with the end of the world." Olaf raised his voice and told everyone said.
"Your Majesty, you must divide the tribes that you have conquered, so you need to set a small goal." Schlick reminded Ulf.
"Your future goals will all be plunder, but now you need to change your strategy and tell me that you want to build a small eternal kingdom, an underground Bjornla." Olaf's eyes hardened and he spoke loudly. Said to Ulf.
"Although the wonders are harmful to the country, they are the wisdom of the ancients." Schlick once pondered in his heart over and over again why the leaders of Easter Island still built huge stone statues despite knowing that they were consuming a small amount of necessary tree resources. Lost the trees to build the canoes, trapped under the resource-depleted island.
That procedure does not require verification and approval by the king before his soul can be allowed to retreat into Shilikra. It is equivalent to the king becoming Odin's representative in the world.
"You are for Odin's grand plan. Those who resist will be crushed." Schlick said to everyone with his eyes burning.
"What, the underground Bjornla?" Ulf, Vargas and Schlick all looked at Olaf in surprise. Bjornla is the temple that all warriors should go to before dying, the temple of heroic spirits. Wherever you are.
"Odin built Shlikela on the territory of the Asa protoss for the end of time, and you should build the same shadow temple of Bjornla underground, where His Majesty the King will allow these heroic warriors. The soul of a dead person ascends directly to the real Shlikela." Olaf said while touching his chin.
"I'm afraid the Yars will refuse." Valha raised a realistic question, who would refuse to give up their rights? Not to mention the Yars, not the priests would calmly resist.
You must know that in the Viking religion, as long as all warriors fight bravely after death and hold weapons in their hands, their souls cannot retreat into Bjornla, but Olaf added a program in the middle.
Therefore, in the culture of the Vikings, death is more important than life. The Viking religion and culture were almost wiped out by Christianity in the previous life, and the other party took advantage of that characteristic.
"What are those words?" Valha narrowed his eyes, and I looked at Olaf without any doubts.
"Well." Olaf's words hit Ulf's heart like a hammer. I have never thought about those things, but when I think about it carefully, it turns out that it is not beneficial to my kingship at all. .
Of course, Schlick only briefly told Ulf about those ideas. After all, Schlick needed to organize many detailed designs one by one. The central idea was to return divine power to the human body.
"Wrong, Vahalla is not a way to die, but a way to live." Olaf said to Ulf.
That is definitely because people in previous generations respected and thought that the leaders of Easter Island were stupid because they knew that resources were sustainable, which was precisely a wise move to maintain the functioning of society.
In Olaf's view, the so-called "Later Bjornla" was not only made up by the priests and Viking ruling class in order to encourage the warriors to fight bravely, but also because they were afraid of death. It was also a choice to solve overpopulation.
"Goal? Of course." Ulf was not disappointed. He originally thought that Olaf would have no low opinion, but the result was no different from the future. Every Viking wave did not have a clear goal and direction, but then They encouraged the remaining young men to retreat in this direction.
Choosing to die or wait for death, Schlick would like to do both, or let the enemy die. On the other hand, although the Vikings did not have faith in the Asa clan, and when each tribe declined, they would choose some ordinary places to build temples. Human sacrifice and the priest class did not have religious forms, but every time we The wave of plunder is always an instinctive move inward before the population is overflowing.
That point was borrowed from a mysterious small country in the East, which used rituals and architecture to replace the American people's right to interpret the divine power. It concentrated the power of interpreting the divine power into one person and weakened centralization.
