Chapter 187： Otto's inspection (1)

A sturdy, big thick covering Rurik's thin shoulders.

Otto asked: "My son, the money will be yours sooner or later. Really, do you want to build it?"

"Yes, we will be stronger because of this." Rurik was determined.

"Okay, you take me to see the house you are building. Is that our new home? I'm going to have a look."

Visit? This is a good thing!

Lurik had planned to take his father, who is a big leader, to see his masterpieces from close range.

Similarly, Otto also intends to visit the "Novgorod style" buildings mentioned by his wife and son.

Is that really like that? Otto knows that the people in the east, the people who have a better status, live in houses with wooden floors, and even sleep on wooden boards. Does Rurik have to imitate them?

Otto realized that he should have gone to see his son's masterpiece soon after landing. Too many things have delayed his formation, and now, before the tribal collective wedding at night, Otto feels that he still has a lot of leisure time.

continued to dawdle the troops in the chief priest's room. Because the priests, no matter how incompetent they are, they must preside over the evening ceremony personally.

The group wedding of the tribe is really important!

Villa secretly urged the chieftain and Rurik to leave quickly after solving the money. She said kindly: "Next, it is our priest's job. You still have important things, Rurik, please put your Lumia with me."

"Huh? Grandma, you hope the wedding ceremony will let her..."

Villa's old face, like a cracked earth, twisted a smile: "Yes, this is her destiny."

A fate called the new high priest, Rurik put Lumia here this time. He and his father left the priest's residence and met with those waiting outside.

"Boss, do you have any new orders?" It was Haro Zuosen who was talking, his face seemed a little anxious.

"What's the matter with you?" Otto asked.

"Something. My brothers and I plan to go to the beach market to buy some fish. It's not too late. If..."

Otto waved his hand: "Brothers, you all leave and do what you want to do. Now I just want to stay with my son."

With this order, Otto’s confidants acted like birds and animals.

Even as the leader of the tribe, roaming freely in Roseburg, Otto does not need any cronies to serve as bodyguards. He left ten people now, taking turns to stand guard in the longhouse of the priest. He took his son Ruriek's hand, and the father and son disappeared into the lively crowd of the tribe.

Sometimes, walking like a father and son is also very warm!

Lurik raised his head slightly and rolled his eyes to look at his father's face. Otto's face was kind, and the two were also walking towards home.

"Dad, are you going to see those houses now?"

"Of course. I couldn't see clearly last night. Now it's dawn, I'm going to see for myself the Novgorod houses you copied."

Otto’s words immediately reminded Rurik: "Oh, Dad, we still need to go to the blacksmith's shop."

"What's wrong? Go to Clavasson?"

"Yes. Dad, I like the new servants you gave me very much. I ordered a batch of gifts for them. I'm going to the smithy to get them."

"Really? You never make some silver jewelry?"

"It's silver jewelry." Rurik said bluntly. "what do you think?"

Otto was stunned on the spot, and by bowing, his hands on his son's shoulders: "My son, I don't object to you giving some silver jewelry to the servant. But you...are you still not satisfied with Lumia's silver jewelry? If you have money, you can’t squander it like this. You are too kind. Remember, you can give some high-level rewards to important servants, ordinary servants, and giving them daily food is a great blessing."

"Huh? You thought I...no! It's just a small gift." Rurik hurriedly changed the subject: "You are all back, and you should talk to the blacksmith."

Otto released his hand: "You reminded me. Let's go! See if the woman who married Kawei has adapted to our life here."

Father, he mentioned Lilia! He didn't mention that girl last night.

Yeah, not only did not mention Lilia, but also the legendary Svetlana, and his father did not mention a word. Did he forget it, or did he not intend to explain the situation now, or did these things not matter at all?

Lurik's little hand continued to be pulled by Otto, and the father and son walked through the crowd, and what they gained was the uncontrollable praise from the tribe.

The entire Roseburg is lively, and all the smithy keeps on hearing the sound of forging.

With the return of Kawei, Kravasson felt that his own production capacity was not only fully restored, but with Kamnier, a small servant, his work would become more efficient.

These blacksmiths, father and son, wear linen pants and a protective leather vest on their upper bodies. They didn't even wear their shoes, and stood barefoot on the cleaned land, clavasson held the blade with tongs, and Kawei wielded a sledgehammer to beat them.

The blacksmiths "fight" in the fire!

Lilia, she has never seen such a warm scene. Not only that, but early in the morning, she had already seen even more miraculous things.

Those magical treasures have been chiseled with small holes. They are some gold and silver nameplates, and a hemp rope is passed through the holes of each nameplate.

They are all necklaces! Some very beautiful necklaces are made by the father of his husband and his second father.

Lilia has a small heart, she is proud that she can marry a blacksmith. She couldn't think of it, this family could be described as possessing special skills!

She began to work hard to learn the language of the Varangans. From today onwards, she has also paid attention to her husband's iron work.

Even if Lilia already knows, she must go back tonight to participate in the collective wedding ceremony of the Varangans. For this ceremony, I need to be taught by my second mother.

She cares about ironing very much, and it is best to learn it by herself. She can build iron tools and send them back to her hometown at the right time, so that people in her hometown can become wealthy.

Lilia served her father and husband tea and poured water, and helped the two men in the family clean with a broom by the way. And her eyes are always attracted by the hot sword embryo.

Unexpectedly, the Valange’s swords are made like this? ! For example, is this the sword that the husband gave to his brother?

The blacksmith family did not indulge in the indulgence after the Sorgon voyage, even if Kawei got his share of belongings.

Just when they were engaged in the work of making swords, Otto and Liurik came without warning.

Otto raised his chest arrogantly. He carried the praise of the people he had gained along the way, and his whole person was extremely confident.

Now that he has come to the forge, Otto needs an urgent explanation for the questions in his heart.

The face of the chief leader Karavasson couldn't be more familiar. It was a face that looked old and exuded the aura of the king. There is also the sword inlaid with huge rubies that hung on the belt around his waist. This is the treasure of the big leader.

After a polite greeting, Otto asked bluntly: "I heard that you got the wisdom from my son and have already started making crystal glasses?"

"It's a glass." Clavasson emphasized, boasting: "I never thought I could make such a treasure, because of it, I have become very rich."

"Rich? A lot of money?!" Otto looked at the beating flames in the stove and the dozen or so sword embryos stuffed in the hot charcoal and couldn't help asking: "Since you are rich, you still continue to be a blacksmith. Work? You can obviously have fun."

"Enjoyment? No, I'm just a blacksmith. Oh, my big boss, for the sake of Rurik’s presence, please don’t ask me these strange questions. You know, I have an agreement with Rurik, I don’t Dare to betray, even if I become richer."

Kravasson’s generous statement is not only to show his loyalty to Otto, but also to swear his dedication to Rurik.

He snapped his fingers, attracting the attention of Lilia who was messing around.

"Lilia, bring all the nameplates hanging on the wooden posts!"

The girl basically heard the "second father" calling her name, and through gestures, she understood the other's intentions.

The delicate soft hemp rope passed through the hole of the silver inlaid gold nameplate. From the appearance, Lilia felt that the pendant in her hand was a genuine treasure. Not only because of the material it is made of, but also because the craftsman really finishes it so that the silver-based nameplate becomes extremely smooth.

Lilia knew that these things were all Rurik needed.

Today, Rurik can stand with the leader, which fully proves his nobleness.

Lilia was a bit jealous in her heart, she thought, I am afraid that there is really only her sister, Svetlana, and she will not be jealous of the leader of the Ross people. I'm afraid, there is no fear of this Rurik.

She approached Rurik cautiously, "This is what you want, my... my father finished it very well."

"You did a great job." Rurik took all the nameplates and began to check them one by one in his hand.

Ottoben was surprised that his son could speak smoothly in Novgorod's language. He was even more surprised when he saw what he was playing with in his hands.

All the nameplates have been polished by Kravassen, how beautiful the luster belongs to the silver!

There is also the "pattern" in the center of the nameplate, which looks like a kind of text. After some inquiries, Otto knew, where are these decorations? The son actually prepared silver nameplates for each servant, and each servant's name was different. The so-called "pattern" is the Roman alphabet, which represents the abbreviations of the names of the maids.

Klavasen does have excellent gem setting skills, and Otto is not surprising.

Since it’s all here, Otto just wanted to figure out, how did Clarvasson make the so-called glass?

Otto, who has nothing to do, has become a spectator safely, or today’s job is to inspect the tribe, so that he has a new understanding of the condition of the tribe.

For an instant, the iron strike was put aside. After all, those sword embryos still need to be carburized. Cavus simply used tongs to seal the furnace with an iron cover with only four vents. Kamnier, an apprentice who was ordered to continuously operate the airbag blower for animal skins, also used tongs to seal the furnace. Stopped work.

Taking advantage of the carburizing effort, Kawei and Kravasson, but they have to explain to the tribal chief personally how to make glasses.

"Okay! They are talking, how about you two? What do you think of us as Ross people?" Rurik deliberately asked Kamnier and Lilia who were gathered next to him.

Kamnier was a little dull and cautious, but Lilia responded boldly: "My feeling is really strange."

"Strange? How strange?!"

"You guys will actually sleep on the ground happily. You will be happy to eat fish every day. Your life is full of leather."

"I can't say you, it's us!" Rurik emphasized with a sullen mouth, "Remember, you are already a native of Ross."

Lilia, who consciously said something wrong with her excitement, hurriedly admitted her mistake.

"No need." Rurik shook his right hand, "You should be uncomfortable, and you will gradually adapt to our lives. However, I don't like to sleep on a leather cushion on the ground all my life."

"Ruriek, you... you really don't like it?" Lilia asked.

"Of course. I haven't been to your hometown, but my sister (referring to the cousin) is a member of your tribe. Lilia, since you mentioned sleeping on the ground. You tell your husband to spend money to build one A house like your hometown. Don’t worry, I think you already know very well that your husband is a very wealthy young man."

Lilia's heart was beating wildly, her eyes widened: "Rurik, is this an order?"

"Yes! It's just an orderRoulik has been too lazy to pretend so far, he just said in Old Cyrillic, which is hardly understood by others, "From my point of view, the houses in your hometown are very good. . I don't want my people to sleep on the ground forever. We should learn from your experience in building houses. We should have flat wooden floors, double-walled houses with moss interlayer, and real beds. I hope that the houses of the entire tribe will change. I just think the houses of the tribesmen in your hometown are the best. "

Upon hearing this, a strong sense of pride flooded Lilia's heart.

She understood how much she understood, it should be the woman who married her manor before, and Rurik learned from them what the architecture of the White Tree Manor looks like. Specifically, isn't Rurik referring to his hometown? !

Lurik is the next leader of the Ross people. Lilia feels that if the child can say this, he will definitely value his natal family more than his father.

Now, she has fully understood that her father kneeled at the feet of the Ross people like a dog, seemingly a bit humiliating, but actually seeking a major benefit for her own people.

That's what the girl thinks in her heart, but her thoughts are a bit superficial.

Rurik, Lilia and Kamnier, the three of them stayed in a quiet corner, even though Clavassen had turned on the closed stove again, and began to cover up the glassware in Otto’s exclamation. Intervene in their small talk.

Lurik still wanted to talk about the house with the two children from Novgorod around him.
