Chapter 758： Blue Fox Gouldsson returns like lightning

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

The lone mast of the boat suddenly raised a flag, and Sipuyou took a special look, isn't that special pattern...

"Is it from Ross? Is it ours?!"

In desperation, Spuyut urged the crossbow to unload the arrow and suspended the offensive order.

Looking at the boat, there are some guys wearing black robes. The boat is constantly undulating on the sea, and the people on the boat are not afraid of the ocean or the big boat.

As the two boats approached, one person on the boat began to frantically dance the flag, and his mouth shouted: "I am the blue fox! Gould's blue fox! Are you the Ross boat? Quickly pick us up on the boat. !"

Spuyute was on the side of the ship. He couldn't hear clearly. At least he was sure that the other party was definitely a Frankish priest. As for the Ross flag in his hand, a thought floated in his mind.

Because Spuyut has a lot of knowledge about Eskil's affairs, and he also knows that the prince granted permission to build a small monastery in the Principality. Those priests have no intent to fight and are weird people who can die to the point of quiet chanting. They didn't threaten, maybe if they were sent to the prince safely, the brothers could get a little extra reward.

The rope ladder was thrown down, and all seven people on board, including the oarsmen, got on the big boat.

As soon as he got on the boat, a thin man with no beard, hairless head and black robe couldn't wait to approach Spuyute, and said something like: "Ah! Almost all year, I finally saw you. Old Ross."

Now, Spuyut was shocked again, so he spoke the standard Norse Roseburg dialect. When the blue fox was young, he traveled back and forth between his ancestral homes of the Anglas and Ross tribes, and was thrown at Roseburg by his father most of the time, and only then did he learn a standard Roseburg dialect.

The Gnostic language is mastered by all the Viking tribes, and Roseburg is the northernmost stronghold. The long-term occlusion has made the dialects of its own kind. There are very obvious differences in some specific vocabulary from the general dialects of Lake Mälaren. Even the accent position of the pronunciation of words and sentences is different. Although there is no barrier to communication between different tribes, the old Rus can tell whether the other party is his own through words.

"You...who are you?! We Ross people?" Spuyut was very surprised and asked subconsciously.

"Oh? You don't know me anymore? It's no wonder that my Gould family has been out of my thin man in a hundred years. No way, these are the will of God. I stand in front of my father now, and he will definitely not recognize it. Me. And Master Rurik, he must not believe that I am Blue Fox Gouldsson."

"Ah? I heard you right? You are the blue fox? You...you are not dead?!"

Spuyute looked wrong, astonished as the blue fox, and then angrily said, "Which fool said I was dead? I am a man who serves a prince, and good luck is with me. And now the Frankish gods also protect me, I How can you die in confusion? By the way, great explorer, how did you appear here? Oh, all this is Odin's will."

Some witty words, although very absurd, Spuyute is willing to believe that the man in front of him is the blue fox, at least the soul is. "Yes, all this is Odin's will..."

At least Eskil's identity can be determined. When Spuyute said that this person was embarrassed in Rose, Eskil's rebuttal was immediately met. Needless to say, this old guy is Eskil infallible.

They are going to Rose to meet Master Ruriek, and the thin man who claims to be the Blue Fox revealed that he wants to report on Frank's information.

In this way, there is no meaning to stay, whether the thin man is really a blue fox, let the prince judge by himself.

The big ship hurriedly turned around, raised its sails, and rushed towards the direction of Fort Shilla in the east.

The brothers stayed on the ship for more than a month and did not even land during this period. There was an unexplainable strange smell on their bodies, and people in black who were on the ship holding another belief came together to ask about things.

The blue fox, whose cheekbones were already very obvious, had long been fed up with the hard days of the Frankish priests. When it was time to eat, he resumed the heavy-tasting food of the past in an instant on this boat.

It is true that the days on the ship cannot be said to be leisurely, the robbery is accompanied by the battle, which consumes a lot of physical energy, and it takes more physical energy to land on the enemy ship to carry the spoils afterwards. The deck needs to be cleaned regularly, important shipborne weapons need frequent maintenance, and raising and lowering sails is a serious physical task.

There are still some hard-boiled wheat biscuits in stock, but their taste is beginning to become sour. Even though it is necessary to roast them to be completely dehydrated for preservation, they are now absorbing the salt spray from the sea, and they have replenished moisture and started to mold.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the salted fish, which is the food that the Rus people used to be most accustomed to in the past.

The sour oatmeal is still much less meaningful than the sour brown bread. The blue fox eats oatmeal and also eats salted fish. When the thrown net is recovered, the lively herring caught by the net is also in his hands. Cut the fish with a knife and swallow it whole.

Although there is a cross on his chest, the blue fox has returned to its former style.

This boat had already represented Rose, he had completely left Frank, and he no longer had to abide by the priest's set of ascetic rules and self-restraint.

Regarding whether this man is a blue fox, Spuyute not only fully trusts in his eloquent descriptions, but also admires the boy's Frankish adventures and, most importantly, the unknown episode that took place in Hezeby. fighting.

The boring sea life needs fresh story adjustments. The blue fox on the ship has completely become the story king, making it unnecessary for other people on the ship.

However, as Vardy revealed his identity as a Slav, the Slavic pirates put on him immediately leaned forward to gain affection. The two sides have different dialects, most of the vocabulary is the same, and they can communicate with each other. In a sense, this was also the first contact between the Oberthlidites of the West Slavs and the Ilmens of the East Slavs.

As for the North being qualified for Eskil, this old boy has been in fear since he got on the boat. He saw the big net bag hanging on the stern of the ship, and he fixed his eyes to see that it was full of human heads!

"Oh! God, am I on Satan's ship?!"

No one cares about the beliefs he holds. Like an outsider, he was simply provided with food and water by Spuyut.

Spuyute didn’t want to get involved with this kind of person, and by the way, he also asked why the blue fox accepted the faith of the Franks, and thus got a very utilitarian answer: “I’m a businessman and I believe in Frey in the north. Believe in their **** after Frank. Believe in a few more gods, there is always one who can protect you."

Belief does not mean absolute absence of faith, and Spuyut, who asks himself, is not the kind of person who believes in a certain deity. He still couldn't figure out how the prince, who was the "son of Odin", would let people like Eskil go to Ross. Maybe the prince had his own intentions, and mortals couldn't figure it out.

When the Blue Fox asked his father and brother if they were still in Roseburg, and where the salmon chief would anchor.

Spuyute's description made him ecstatic.

Because Gould was staying on the Tombstone Island of the Åland Islands at the crossroads of the ocean, the family established a material warehouse on the island to quickly supply the Ross shops in the Birka Bazaar on Lake Mälaren, or directly with boaters. Direct transactions with merchants. Tombstone Island is a self-contained commercial port and a transfer station for the transportation of materials in the Duchy of Ross. Especially when navigation was restored in 836, the Ross merchant ships to and from Tombstone Island more than doubled compared with previous years.

The Ross Fleet is cruising near Tombstone Island. Armed defense of the line of communication is one of them, and the other is fishing for fish.

In contrast, the return of the Salmon Chief, the big ship, did not show many waves.

The western waters have disappeared. A huge waterway leads to the inside. The bow of the ship is already pure fresh water. The big ship sails in the waters near the huge estuary of Lake Mälaren. So someone directly hung down the wooden bucket to collect the water, and then the brothers drank it wildly.

Just north, a series of small islands floating on the sea, one of them is Tombstone Island.

When the Salmon Chief entered the port, the people and businessmen felt that this was an ordinary Ross battleship. In the past, an Aphrodite was an eye-catching "Big Mac", but now this type of ship cruises every day, and everyone is not surprised.

Until they were shocked to notice that a group of sloppy, vomiting guys were like fools and laughed and walked down the board to land. The onlookers found the source of the stench, which is actually a rotten head?

All the truth is revealed. This is the ship of the royal pirate Spuyut. When they left the port, they threatened to kill wildly in the Danish waters. It seems that they really lie?

How much loot did they grab? A batch of captured axes, spearheads, and harpoons were sold on the spot. They were all rusty utensils. The materials were all wrought iron. In terms of quality, they were not as good as Ross ironware, and the price was inevitably low. Spuyute didn't expect these things to make money, a piece of news spread like wildfire and spread immediately.

"They grabbed a lot of wool! Haha!"

Some people trumpeted it, and the onlookers immediately started talking, which directly attracted a group of leather merchants in Mellaren.

Let’s talk about how the good things of rushing to buy wool have been lost to the people of the Gould family. After all, since the Ostara and Glan tribes who are good at raising cattle and sheep have escaped from death, there are no important wool suppliers in Sweden. The supply of extremely cold-resistant fiber is seriously inadequate, and it has become popular, so that merchants know that successful blending in the wool trade will surely make a lot of money.

A dramatic event happened.

Gould was indeed aging very quickly, and he was seriously ill after hearing the bad news of his second son's death. He can still walk after the whole winter training. No matter what, life will continue. Don't think about the expansion of the Danish career. He can only focus on the trade with Sweden.

He just heard the news reported by the next person. He took the silver-inlaid wooden staff and went straight to the pier. He still muttered: "A bunch of pirates, let me see what good baby you have robbed. Revenge for my son, I want a reward. you."

The second son had the courage he had when he was young, but it was a pity that he lacked luck. Gould was also reflecting on it when he was seriously ill. Among the many family members, it was the boy who said that he did not believe in gods and only believed in money. If he chose to believe in a **** at that time, he would probably be lucky to survive.

Gould was a big businessman, even if he became an old man, he would have to walk out of his mansion on Tombstone Island in such a mighty way. More than 20 entourages are all wearing leather clothes with beautiful glass beads, doing their best to show up. They also arrogantly shoved those who stood in the way, yelling: "The big merchant Gould is here, and the poor little merchants will avoid it!"

Gould is so arrogant, even though the people have complaints, all let go. There is no way, this old boy is very kind to the prince, and he has always been a dragon. It is really unwise to annoy this man who can't live for a few years.

Looking at the big ship, the appearance of big merchants with fanfare directly attracted the attention of the blue fox.

The black robe was thrown away, and the hat was thrown away. The blue fox has lost the demeanor of the fathead fish in the past, and has actually changed a skin bag, except for the hidden birthmarks and moles.

The old man actually appeared in person! He couldn't care about pushing too much away from the crowd and rushing up, unexpectedly directly blocked his father's guards.

"Who are you? Blind? Dare to block the way of the big merchant?" The arrogant guard spoke rudely, playing with a wooden stick in his hand as if he wanted to hit someone.

Blue Fox is now a warrior who has driven a meatball. It stands to reason that he expressed his attitude to Odin and later converted to the Lord. The two great gods of the north and the south are waiting for him.

He noticed that the old man had grown old, although he was still a plump-eared image, the brown patches on his face had increased, his beard and hair had become pale, and his azure blue eyes had lost their former demeanor. It's unreasonable that the old man didn't pay attention to himself.

Blue Fox pushed hard and pushed directly away from the guards. Just when others wanted to take it down, he shouted in public: "I am the Blue Fox! The head of the Rose shop in Denmark appointed by the lord. Father, I am your second. Son Blue Fox!" He even directly said his own milk name, which hit Gould's heart directly.

Gould trembled, his eyes fixed on the blue fox's face: "You? You are my son? How could it be..."

"Why is it impossible? Or is it because I'm so thin that you can't recognize me? Don't you all think I'm dead?"

"..." Gould's lips trembled, making him believe that the man in front of him was the second son.

Blue Fox had no choice. He probably expected this embarrassing situation, so he simply sold out his shirt, showing his chest covered with hair, pointing to the birthmark and moles: "You will never forget this? No matter if I am obese or thin, the birthmark is often Stay with me."

Gould was finally deeply touched. He already believed that this was his blue fox. As this person showed his back, there was a tattooed word with the Rune alphabet on it. The transliterated Latin alphabet was GULDEN.

There is no more doubt, although the second son has a very strange face and body, he is a member of the Gould family!

It's not surprising that father and son recognize each other so hard. Not only is the experience too dreamy, but also because the family is fat boy, young and old, the blue fox has been born in a hundred years. Not to mention, the blue fox has lost weight this time and his whole person is much more handsome, that is, he has experienced the life of an ascetic for more than half a year from fat to thin. I don't want to stay either.

Spuyute wanted to supply supplies on Tombstone Island, and the crew ran to the sauna to take a bath, and then enjoyed the long-lost cleansing with sulfur soap all over the body. They bought new clothes and changed them, and even the pirates of Saaremaa, who were on board, changed their outfits completely.

The Blue Fox finally returned home, and Gould was so excited that he couldn't sleep peacefully. In the end, Gould also had to sigh that it was his own cub that he really deserved to die. He asked the blue fox to explain the adventure well, so that the father and son had to talk endlessly for one night.

It was the night of the night talk, Gould looked at his decayed body into endless melancholy when he was excited.

"I once heard that there is a sacred mountain in the south. It has been covered with snow and will never melt. You actually got there. You have seen so much in the heart of Frank that I can't see it with my own eyes..."

The blue fox took out some yellow and white dry flowers from the cloth pockets, and they looked very strange. "This is a flower that grows on the holy mountain. The Franks call it Edelweiss. Only the brave can get it. So many Franks regard these flowers as a token of good luck and a proof of courage. We businessman luck is very important, so I wear it. Body."

The blue fox in Gould's eyes had changed too much. He began to believe in gods and made some weird amulets, which was a beneficial change.

There is an opportunity to do business with the Franks, this is what Blue Fox said. From the perspective of pure merchants, it is also possible for the Gould family to open up a Frankish Hamburg and Bremen market.

It's just that today's blue fox not only loses fat, but also approaches a warrior mentality.

He said fiercely: "The arrogance of the Frankish nobles is a great shame to us. If we can't beat them, it will be a peaceful business. In my opinion, Ross can directly invade those cities and take away all the treasures. I will tell the prince about these things. The prince will definitely kill the killer. Even if the prince is hesitant, as far as I know, the great pirate Spuyute already wants to vote."

The times have changed. Merchants are no longer peaceful trades, they have completely turned into swordsmen, and his son has grown into a ruthless man directly from this disaster, which is a blessing in disguise for the family.

Gould knew that his son would continue to go to the east. Blue Fox was an important trader appointed by the prince. The Danish market was in trouble, and he had to report to the prince.

Gould finally asked: "When you finish reporting on your work what are your plans for the future?"

The blue fox really didn't think about it, and only said: "I can only follow the king's decision for the future. But I heard that the king intends to retaliate against Denmark. If there is a large-scale war, I will lead the army. I will die. Revenge, brothers! And those arrogant Franks, we will take care of them together."

These words should not be uttered by a businessman.

The son has changed, becoming unrecognizable. Gould had an awkward feeling. The so-called chubby blue fox had already died in Hazeby. The person in front of him was the blue fox and not the blue fox. He inherited the memory of the former but had a new belief. Maybe this is a big change in your mind due to being forced by reality!

This is also a good thing, because according to the tradition, the second son does not divide or divide the family property. Wealth and power must be obtained by our own ability. Compared to the blue fox's journey and the fact that he killed the enemy with his own hands, Gould felt that this kid was more suitable for inheriting the family business than his eldest son, the white fox.

But is the second son blue fox really rare?

Gould asked himself, and based on his knowledge of Prince Rurik, the kid knew that the blue fox was such a talent, and he would definitely continue to reuse it.
