Rise of Rurik

Chapter 74: Memories of the priest

Returning, Otto greeted the cheering crowd, and at the same time asked them to make way.

   On the other hand, in the huge priest's wooden house, Priest Veria stayed calmly indoors, because she knew that her fragile body should not be exposed to the cold outdoors at will, even if she was wearing thick leather clothing.

   She already knew that the leader Otto returned with a large number of deer triumphantly, and the messenger came to let her know that the leader went far away this time and grabbed a lot of wealth from the deer breeder.

   The wealth of wealth excited the young people who accompanied him, but Veria was not so happy.

   She is too old, the only thing that can make herself happy is that she can continue to maintain her body.

   She really knows her physical condition.

  Villa has a hunch that his life will come to an end in two or three years.

   People are mortal. Regarding the leader's rare looting of a deer breeder in the distance, Veria quietly recalled himself when he was young.

  Those past events, although they were all personally experienced by me, I now recall that everything has become so distorted, as if they happened in a dream.

  Villa, her old age has become a little uncomfortable, and sometimes she regards dreams as reality.

   She devotes herself to Odin, praying silently every day that she can become a Valkyrie after death, even if she is the lowest servant of Valhalla.

   If the dream comes true, she will not hesitate to pull Otto’s soul after death to the Hall of Valor without hesitation when she becomes the Valkyrie.

   The more she thinks so, the more she can always dream of this kind of dreams, and the wonderful dreams deepen her belief.

   Recalling my childhood experience, too many things have been forgotten.

   She has forgotten the faces of her parents, and many of her friends in her youth have passed away, reminiscing about the past, and she remembers only the major stimulation of the spirit.

   For example, my father promised himself to his husband because of the advantage of some coins. Unexpectedly, the result was a miscarriage, and he simply survived. And the poor husband also died in the wilderness in a certain year, possibly because of being attacked by wild animals.

   Of course, it is also possible that it was deliberately attacked by those deer breeders.

   Because of Roseburg, it was originally the home of deer breeders.

   The Ross tribe snatched this fjord that contained iron and copper ore from those people, as well as some animals.

   At that time, she was very young. She has forgotten why the war started, but does the war need a real reason?

   The deer raisers are not allies, at best they are poor trading partners. Therefore, the so-called trade relationship can be easily torn apart, and any tribe of the Mind subfamily can fight against the deer breeders without any sanctions.

   Recalling the past, young feet wandering among the ruins of the collapsed tent, their own tribesmen cleaned the corpses of the dead, and some tribesmen gathered around the bonfire to eat barbecue.

   Many places were on fire. After the flames were extinguished, the tribesmen built new settlements in the fjord abandoned by the fleeing deer breeders. After a while, the young children were already in their twilight years.

   Just as Villa recalled the past, the noise of the outdoors finally pulled her thoughts back.

   Suddenly, the drooping leather curtain was lifted, and a strong man with a beard stepped forward with a look of glory.

   "Ah! Great priest, I'm Otto, I'm back."

   "I know you are back!"

   Seeing this shaggy man with a disheveled hair and a shaggy beard, Veria was really kind. Otto is Veria's ally. Through the memories and thoughts she had just seen, she couldn't help but think about Otto in front of her, if her aborted child was born smoothly, I am afraid that she will still live at Otto's age.

   Thinking of this, she is even more kind to Otto.

  Life is like this, the peaceful birth of a child is a miracle.

   What's more, there is a bad tradition in all tribes. Every family worships those warlike gods, so everyone prefers sons. In addition to their beliefs, they need a male to inherit the family business.

   But very limited resources can only be given to a small number of offspring. Many baby girls are thrown into the forest just after they are born. They are picked up by well-wishers, but they are actually allowed to fend for themselves.

  Only the strongest or the eldest son can inherit the family property. The weak must move when they grow up, and they will not inherit a copper coin.

   Even so, many women who are already small in number can't survive the hurdle of giving birth.

  Although men who live to adulthood don't have the burden of childbirth, they always take crazy risks for wealth.

Just like this Otto’s adventure, if they get lost, or need a more terrifying enemy, or even enter the edge of the human world and fall into the unknown under the world tree, everything is full of terrible variables, which will cause everyone Die.

  Villa’s effort to keep calm is still suppressed by willpower, but she has already begun to become talkative, and hastily slapped the leather cushion next to her.

   "Come here! Tell me what you have gone through!"

   "Good priest, maybe these things should wait for all the elders to come..."
