Rise of Rurik

　　 After this voyage to Sorgon in the autumn, all the wealth gained can be properly distributed.

　　 Undoubtedly, all those who have participated in this voyage, alive and dead, they or their family deserve the best part of their wealth.

The 　　 tribe has always implemented this tradition, that is, men get the spoils of war on expedition, and whoever participates in the expedition gets more.

　　 But those who are not involved will also gain a small amount of wealth.

　　 Times are changing, and people's hearts are also changing dramatically.

　　 Especially this time, the people who participated in the Sorgon voyage were attacked by fishermen from Gotland on the way, and the entire tribe had to think about two things.

　　 First, whether the risk of Sorgon’s voyage is very huge.

　　Secondly, do people who have brought their wealth back safely, do they have the right to receive more?

　　Undoubtedly, the men of the tribe really hope to participate in the action and gain more wealth. What's more, there is even a public opinion spreading that whoever participates in the voyage of Sorgon will have the wealth of the participants equally divided according to their merits, and men who have not participated have no right to distribute.

　　 There are indeed many people who support this idea, and everything is probably pure selfishness.

　　 After all, on this Sorgon voyage, the tribe dispatched the most combative one-third of the men, and they were led by the leader himself!

　　 These seven hundred people are the elite force of the tribe. They are the backbone of the tribe, so their attitude immediately influences the distribution of wealth this autumn.

　　 Chief Otto, he is not a selfless person.

　　 This man has received a lifetime of "warrior education". He really enjoys the feeling of being revered by everyone. He is not afraid of fighting and has great enthusiasm for the acquisition of trophy. Of course, I also hope to get the approval of the gods!

　　 Especially this time, when Ogier, his brother who was holding the death, heard the message that Ogier saw the Valkyrie beckoning, he believed in Valhalla even more.

　　 Otto certainly agreed with the ideas of the tribal warriors.

　　 Brave warriors, they are unruly and have a great desire for wealth.

　　 But they also have strong self-esteem.

　　 Only once, the brothers of the tribe got their wealth back only after fighting. How can they feel at ease when they have no merit?

　　 After some mediation, the men of the tribe finally reached a consensus on the distribution of wealth, and made clear rules on how to distribute the wealth in the future. Because the tribe has no words, the “rules” are established by the elders as witnesses.

　　 is the future Sorgon voyage, and the wealth obtained is divided into two parts. Participants and their families get half, and the rest of the tribe men and their families get the other half.

　　 In any future battle, all those who participate in the battle will enjoy all the spoils of war, and if they die, their family members, especially their sons, will receive it.

　　 Just before the first snow fell, the distribution of wealth was completely finished.

　　 Up to now, any external actions of the Ross tribe have also come to an end.

　　 Their silhouettes suddenly disappeared in the Baltic Sea, which was almost frozen. Roseburg was hiding in the Gulf of Bothnia, the northernmost part of the sea, as if missing.

The traditional fishing industry of the 　　 tribe has come to an end, and even hunting in the forest outside the settlement has stalled.

　　The reason is that one of the most critical problems is the dark night that everyone has to face.

　　 The northern hemisphere enters winter, especially in high latitudes, and the night time is extremely long.

　　The location of Fort Rose is at least not in the Arctic Circle. There is a summer with almost no night, and there is also a winter with almost no day.

　　Winter is the most terrible. They don't know that the cold outdoors can be minus 20 degrees, but what they know best is that fish caught wildly before winter can be frozen as hard as rocks as long as they are placed outside the wooden house.

　　 People use wood to build the frame of the house, and put a lot of animal fur and linen on the outside, in order to increase the cold resistance. Some poor families even piled up dirt outside the wooden house to keep warm.

　　Any wooden house has an opening at the top, which is a vent for the indoor campfire to exhaust smoke.

　　 They cut down a lot of wood and store it in autumn, and use bonfires to warm it in winter.

　　 At the same time, they also wear thick leather clothes all the time.

　　 In principle, the Rus tribe is the northernmost member of all the tribes that make up the Mindea, and their language is no different from the brothers in the south.

　　 But their location is too far north.

　　The coastal waters near Fort Rose are not a place where fish flourishes, but they can catch enough fish for four to five thousand people to spend the entire winter.

　　 For their livelihood, they are happy to try their luck in the dangerous forest.

　　 Sometimes, Otto would lead the men of the tribe to enter the forest to search for the deer before the winter. Once discovered, the Viking-style hunting began immediately.

　　 They actually often encounter black bears and white bears. If a single person encounters them, they may be holding a huge Nordic forest axe, which is difficult to resist.

　　The fur of the bear is the thickest. The Ross tribe knows very well that a bear skin can be exchanged for precious treasures with the southern brothers, and it can also make the women of the tribe tailored to produce extremely warm leather coats and hats.

　　 After all, those bears can tolerate extreme low temperatures and survive the entire winter with nothing but fur!

　　As a leader, Otto has obtained a lot of wealth.

　　 He even got the honey, which is always very precious, and five pieces of sheepskin.

　　 Maybe from today's eyes, these are not precious. But in the whole of Europe 1200 years ago, they were very precious.

　　 Ogier died, his only son Arik inherited all his inheritance, including the wealth distributed this time.

　　 Arik is also recognized as the son of the leader Otto under the certification of the tribal elder.

　　As a result, Arik naturally moved to Otto's house, and temporarily took on the job of helping Niya take care of his younger brother.

　　The long night enveloped all of Northern Europe, and the continuous snowfall caused the forests around Roseburg to fall silent. Under such low temperature, few wild beasts ventured out of the hidden caves, only a very small number of reindeer dragged their thick fur, pushed away the snow with their powerful mouths, and gnawed the grass roots.

　　 If you can hunt a strong reindeer, its meat is enough to feed the Otto family through the winter! Even if its fur can be tailored by Niya into a leather jacket enough for a family of four to keep out the cold.

　　 It’s just that hunting in winter is very dangerous, so as strong as the Ross tribe, they are willing to hide in this bay and wait quietly for the long night to pass.

　　 They are most standing outdoors, watching the starry sky, watching the white moon reflecting the bright scene of the waves.

　　 Aurora often flashes in the sky, and people believe that it is "Brunhilde's Parade". As long as it appears, all the sleeping people are willing to stand in the cold outdoors, with their eyes wide open, in order to see the Valkyrie deity.

　　 It was another cold and quiet night.

　　 Arik, who was sleeping soundly wrapped in a whole bear skin, was awakened by the noise of the outdoors.

　　 Otto and Niya also woke up, including our protagonist Liu Li, who is Rurik.

　　 "Aric, go see what's going on." Otto said impatiently.

"Yes!"

　　 Arik quickly put on a sheepskin jacket and a woolen cap, and then carefully opened the leather curtain, only to see thousands of green ribbons swaying freely on the sky.

　　 "It's Aurora!" Arik went back to the wooden house excitedly.

　　 "It's them!" After Otto got up, he patted Arik on the shoulder, "Let's go and pay a good look. You know what that is!"

　　 "It's my father!"

　　 Arik was convinced of those legends. After all, his uncle made it clear that his father was recognized by the gods, UU read www.uukanshu.com and was taken away by the Valkyrie.

　　 So, the Otto family doesn't care about cold, and the whole tribe is taking action tonight, in order to observe the magnificent Aurora spectacle.

　　We cannot use the eyes of today to speculate on the ignorance of the Viking tribes in Northern Europe 1200 years ago.

　　 They saw the sight of the Northern Lights and urgently needed a beautiful explanation for this phenomenon.

　　 That is the trajectory of the Valkyrie driving a carriage parade. They only act in winter. They will inspect the people on the ground to find potential lucky ones who can go to Valhalla in the future.

　　 Leurik, he was only a hundred days old, and now he is curled up in a swaddle made of sheepskin, held in the arms of his birth mother, Niya, and witnessed the wonders of the sky for the first time.

　　 "Ah! This is the Aurora! It really is Northern Europe."

　　 In this situation, Rurik is more certain of where he is, but that's it.

　　Lurik is unable to determine the exact age of the present, and he has more concerns, limited to being only a baby and unable to tell others.

　　Lurik can only observe quietly now.

　　 He saw a boy crying at the Northern Lights, and heard his biological mother say many things to the boy in a comforting tone.

　　 It's a pity that my brain is always in chaos. This body is indeed a baby. I always feel tired. Sleep is the most important thing in my day.

　　 For a short time, Rurik couldn't figure out the languages ​​spoken by other people, and even some of the most spoken words, he could only speculate.

　　 Although these languages ​​are very similar to English, a lot of tongue sounds are very strange.

　　The baby is growing up, and winter is about to pass, and the situation is changing.

　　 Until the arrival of spring.
