Chapter 558-The Birth of Velika
The young mother was sweating, and her intense contractions forced her to clenched a piece of wood and forced her to endure.
Lumia has stopped all priests' work, and the temple has been temporarily closed as a result.
Her life has ushered in a very critical moment. If she hadn't been holding Rurik's hand all the time, she was even worried that she would be killed alive.
Maybe a man should avoid this kind of thing. Rurik hadn't cared about so much, he needed to give Rumia a solace.
Who is the best midwife? Now that Niya is here, Rurik's sister-in-law Peravina and sister-in-law Lilia also come to the palace to give poor Lumia some urgent help.
On the second floor of the palace, in the living room of the noble people, Lumia groaned in pain, enduring the pain of a woman's menstrual period.
"Just bear it again! I have seen the child's head."
Niya's words aroused Lumia's comfort, but this was also the most painful stage.
Rurik kneeled and sat beside her, her clenched hand was firmly pinched by her, and she could feel the pain of her finger bones.
Unexpectedly, this girl has so much strength!
"Okay! The child's head is out. Work harder!"
"Try hard, and it will all come out immediately!"
After that last effort, an extremely strange sense of emptiness enveloped Lumia. She lay down abruptly and relaxed, and the stick she was biting fell off with two rows of teeth marks on it.
At the same time, the child was crying and crying, and a lively little guy was born!
Niya looked intently: "Huh? It's a girl."
"Girl?" Rurik turned his face abruptly, "How is the child?"
"Listen to this cry, very energetic!" Niya was very experienced in delivering babies, so he ordered the group of wives and concubines on standby to do what they should do.
A steel knife has undergone careful disinfection after being boiled in boiling water. Niya also washed her hands with soap, and then cut off the umbilical cord...
Everything goes to happiness, the clean child looks red and wrinkled, and crying with closed eyes.
Velika was born, as Rurik had hoped, she was a girl.
It is really blessed to inherit this status as the high priest.
She was placed in a swaddle, and the crying child was placed next to her mother and stopped crying instantly.
Lu Mia is holding her child in her arms, why can she tell her complete happiness in one word?
After only half a day's work, Lumia had complied with her mother's instincts and began to nurture the child, Rurik's last worries should have disappeared.
The palace fell into joy, and the rich and nobles of Rose were also very happy.
Because this child was given a destiny before he was born-he was the heir of the old priest Veria.
If there are still people who feel a little uncomfortable with Lumia's deer-raiser as the high priest of Rose, then this child is justified in inheriting the priest when he grows up.
Velika, Rurik's first child, is also a holy descendant through and through!
For three consecutive days, Rick stayed with Lumia, comforted and comforted her woman, and sometimes teased her children. When Otto broke in and wanted to hug his first granddaughter, he was simply pushed aside by Lurik. "Now she is too weak, just break her bones from your hug."
Although Otto gave up, this kind gaze is indispensable.
Otto still has more important things to do, and that is to promote this first celebration since Hanukkah to the entire Roseburg.
Just like when Rurik was born, the old priest Veria and Otto joined forces to create momentum. Rurik was promoted as a child blessed by Odin, and this newborn Velika is also indispensable!
Thousands of people began to assemble at the two large ships standing on the coast, and Otto stood high and solemnly announced this to the people.
His gray beard and hair couldn't hide his face flushed with ecstasy.
He pointed to the sky and then to the sea, "Villa has a successor! My Velika was born! She is a sacred child, and she is also blessed by Odin..."
People cheered and laughed. Some people even teased that Rurik was a man, and some complained that his son was still a dull stone at the age of twelve, and that Rurik became a father.
The days are getting longer and longer, and people who were once trapped in the long night and unable to work long hours are now getting busier.
A timber transportation route above the ice sea has actually been achieved. After the day time has been longer, a team of timber transportation has returned to Roseburg in about ten days.
There is an incentive to make money when there is demand. Some men have found that it is better to go to the vicinity of Elronburg than to find ferrets in the snowfield. The local spruce is lower than the oak, but it is easy to find.
The Hotla family and their friends, as well as the entire Roseburg shipbuilding family, kept ding-dong-dong in their large and small workshops, and more than 20 large and small ships were being built.
Although there are still most of the traditional rowing fishing boats, the shipbuilding industry is booming like never before.
Roseburg is booming, and this city standing in the snow is developing rapidly.
Metallurgy, woodworking, pottery, charcoal, shipbuilding, construction, wine making, winter harvesting, leather, and basic chemicals are all in progress.
The production efficiency here is high or low, at least they all exist, and they all have a strong development trend.
The Principality of Rus is really an alien in the Nordic Viking world, or Rus, under the rule of Rurik, is drifting away from the concept of Viking.
At the same time, when the north was completely covered by snow and ice, the ice-free Port of Narvik was ready to move.
In the core area of the Balmerk tribe, Biyuni, who made outstanding achievements in battle, gained great prestige.
People who are eager to make a fortune and live a stable life are staring at the British island.
Narvik Fjord is too close to the North Pole, and the local night is almost half a month away.
People can stay at home on dark and cold days. Even though there are only a few nearshore ice floes in the fjord, no one wants to risk fishing.
The Balmerks even suspended the craft of boiling salt, waiting for the light to reappear.
Only that day, when the Rus celebrated Hanukkah on the Fire Tower, the Balmerks also celebrated their own Hanukkah in their temples and altars.
The polar night is about to end soon. Taking advantage of the aftertaste of the holiday just past, Chief Magnuth anxiously rushed all the family chiefs and gathered in their chamber to discuss major issues.
What does the leader want to say? Everyone can guess.
This time when people saw Bijuni, a brave young man sitting in a key position, they knew that he would be ordered to visit Ross again this winter.
Someone yelled to Magnut first: "Brothers are planning to organize an army and go to Britain again next year. The country called Northumbria is a big fat sheep. We should try to cut wool to make us rich. life."
"They are indeed very weak. This time we will send more fighters to grab all of their big cities."
"Especially their women!"
Someone said that, the audience laughed.
Ostan of Vashobi in joy is not satisfied with mere robbery.
"Brothers, in my opinion, we want to rob their wealth and women, and then why should we go back to the fjord? We Balmerks occupy that place. We have excellent land to grow our wheat and raise ours. support."
Quite a few family leaders were very interested in this proposal, and even Magnut was full of hope.
People discussed with each other and quickly reached a consensus.
But Bijuni has something to say: "We may not be able to get a lot of land at once. We must force the king to recognize our control of the land, otherwise there must be fighting."
Someone yelled, "Who is afraid of fighting?"
"No. I'm afraid of endless battles."
"It doesn't matter, kill them all, we don't have to be busy fighting without the enemy."
Bijuni shook his head. "Ros's Rurik knows them well. There is more than one country there. Once they know that we are mass killings, they will unite to fight back. So this year we start to march into Britain. We have to listen to the Rus people. Views."
Ross people, everyone is rational when hearing this term.
No one denies that Rurik of Ross is a day of wisdom and courage, and Ross's army must be very powerful.
Some clan leaders boasted that they were invincible because of their victory, but others felt that last year's victory relied on Rurik's command and those wonderful weapons.
They fell into discussion and even started to become heated.
Magnut coughed deeply and called out: "Of course we are all brave, as brave as my Rurik son."
Everyone shut up and listened to the leader who called Rurik the son of the Rus.
Calling a son-in-law as a daughter-in-law is natural in their culture, and Magnut is also complacent about the marriage.
"My Biyuni and Froggy will visit Rose again. This time I will send a large team to Rose with our salt, refined whale oil, and a sum of money."
"How many people do you plan to send?" a family leader asked.
"This...about a hundred people. Brothers are all here. You each send some people. We organize a huge mission to visit Rose. And, the most important thing."
Magnuth slapped his thigh violently. "We have to look at the construction of our big ship. Rurik won't lie. When the ice melts, we can take the boat back."
This decision is very curious, and everyone discusses some details and finally agrees with it.
But on the issue of how many people to send, each family hopes that their cubs can successfully complete this trial, and then go to Rose to see the world.
Twenty families are sent at least from their parents and sons, with some Jianyong attached. While they gathered five hundred pounds of good salt and one hundred pounds of solidified whale oil, they also brought a group of walrus tusks.
Magnuth originally envisaged organizing an armed business group of one hundred people, but this number was piled up to three hundred people!
Profitable plan Which family is one step slower?
No one doubts that Bijuni is the leader of the business group, and there is another man named "Adventure Madman" Modgen leading the way. Everyone is not worried about getting lost, but hopes to arrive as soon as possible.
But even if it is fast, the journey takes at least twenty days.
It's not that the journey is too far, it's all because the Balmerks lack reindeer to pull sleds.
Twenty sturdy and docile female reindeer pulled five cargo sleighs. Others could only pull their own small sleighs with a large amount of pre-prepared food and march forward with the belief of hunting halfway to satisfy their hunger.
It was already mid-January, and Bijuni led the "army" of these three hundred people and finally embarked on an ice and snow journey to friendly nations.
The people of Balmerk cheered for the heroes of the expedition and looked forward to their return in the big ship belonging to the Balmerks.
As for a large ship to transport many people, each family has its own purpose. For example, some families plan to settle a son in Rose, hoping that this son can develop well.
After all, Balmerk is a coalition of the people, essentially a tribal alliance. The big families live together because of common interests. Now that new possibilities have been found, some families lacking strength have spontaneously moved closer to the big tree Rose.
This time Bijuni not only left with friendship, but with gifts for his sister, and a very crucial new plan to attack Britain.
Bijuni is very confident and feels that his mouth can persuade Rurik to send troops and organize the coalition to make another big fortune.
The team dragged a large number of sleds and climbed the mountain on ice and snow.
The central mountain range of Scandinavia extends from the North Pole to Oslo at the foot of the southern mountains. Some of its mountain peaks are more than one thousand meters above sea level, and some mountain passes are only 500 meters above sea level.
Although it is five hundred meters, the gust of wind at this mountain pass can be called a murderous knife.
Although Biyuni is confident of his people, he feels that they should all be able to overcome like himself. However, after spending the night after crossing the mountain pass, or neglecting supplies because of exhausting too much energy, five men were frozen to death in their sleep.
Death cannot dispel people's thirst for the future. They feel that the deceased did not stand the test of Odin and the gods and died. The living people bowed to the sun and prayed and continued to move forward in the short day.
They entered the alpine glacial lake and proceeded along the glacier.
The glacier is a wonderful road, and the memory of the guide Mordgen is also very delicate.
Since crossing the central mountain range, their party has nearly three hundred people, and they have travelled hard for fifteen days!
During this period, a small snow lasted for nearly a week, and they marched in the dark snow, the whole world was not only strange, but also desolate and sad.
But the glacier guided the right path, and finally they arrived at the lake!
A group of dark shadows suddenly appeared in the snow!
The Ross people, who were busy digging holes and fishing for European perch on the ice lake, all expressed their instinctive vigilance.
Seeing the people working on the lake pulling the sled and running away, Biyuni was speechless.
"It seems that they treat us as potential attackers." Modgen said.
"Maybe, it's obviously an ally, maybe some people haven't reacted yet."
"What should I do? I personally negotiate with them? It has already been said that Fisk Castle, the camp we have been to is already relatively prosperous, I am afraid they will forget us."
Bijuni nodded, then took another flag from his linen pocket and handed it to Modgen.
"Hang on your spear, lift it up to show your identity."
"This flag...Rürich gave you?" Mordgen looked at the blue-patterned oar flag on the white background and was taken aback.
"No, this is made at my home, just to avoid misunderstandings."
Mudegan was overjoyed, and he summoned a few brothers to go, and the others stood by.
The large-scale mission from the Balmerks surprised the Winter Catchers of Fort Fisk.
Moving on to the south, Bijuni's team arrived at Elon Orava Fort without difficulty. UU Reading
Many Balmerks subconsciously think that the fortress is Roseburg!
It is quite prosperous here. Mechasta, the Corvin man who was ordered to lead this place, resolved their misunderstandings and also focused on hosting key guests including Bijuni.
They ate a whole fish feast, and the giant salmon caught them opened their eyes.
Bijuni ate his mouth full of fish oil, and was overjoyed on the journey to Ben Roseburg so far that he no longer had to rely on his two legs.
If these guys are allowed to continue to eat and drink in their own responsible territory, they have to eat themselves poorly.
It just so happens that a new batch of wood transport teams is about to go south, and a small team of chromite ore transports is ready to follow up.
There are many reindeer in Fort Elon, and there is a traditional winter pasture nearby.
Bijuni mixed into the mixed transport team of the Ross people. They were bathed in the winter sun on the wide icy sea, and rushed to Roseburg in a very wonderful sense of journey.
Finally, the huge Roseburg built on the hill is in front of you! It is a giant of ice and snow in the north, a huge and powerful city.
The Balmerk men who arrived here for the first time were shocked and envious. As for Biyunni, he was eager to see his sister Noren, Rurik, and the big ship belonging to the Balmerks.
With excellent eyesight, he suddenly noticed the boats placed on the beach, and the towering black masts were indeed very conspicuous in the world of ice and snow.
"That, is our ship? It must be so. Rurik, you really keep your promises."
Of course, he also shocked the huge number of ships anchored with the Russ. When the ice layer melts, whoever the Russ fleet wants to conquer will probably win easily.
