Chapter 1031 The Genesis of the Russ, revised at the beginning of the Russaga
Ella was trying her best to summarize the stories passed down orally, each story was a chapter, and wrote it down with freehand.
She has her own unique font for writing Latin letters, and the whole thing is beautiful and neat. This is definitely not done overnight, and she also records the manuscript first and then copies it.
All the stories are about the fight between gods and demons. The opening story is quite typical. The so-called god Thor fights against the giant python in the world, and kills it with the last hammer. There is also the story of the god Frey riding a golden boar while cruising through the forest.
There are also unknown little gods, more like forest elves, who appear in the tranquil lake and have sex with men who are cutting trees.
There are various stories, except for the battle between gods and demons, which are mostly about men and women, the rest of the stories really lack dramatic tension.
The "Iceland Saga" is essentially a collection of mythological stories, and it does not establish a strict system for Nordic beliefs. The essence of the myths and legends compiled by Ella today is no different from it, but the "Ross Saga" cannot be homogeneous
change.
Rurik noticed that Ella did not write the chapter about the God of Creation.
He couldn't help but become interested: "Why...why didn't you write down which God created everything?"
"I think I am not qualified. You are the one blessed by Odin." Her words were concise and practical.
Rurik nodded: "Well, you still need me to write. Everything starts with the death of the giant Ymir..."
So, how was the world born?
Everything began in nothingness, only Odin. Odin created a big tree in the void, which was an extremely huge world tree. There was the giant Ymir on the tree, and his disintegration created the sky and the earth as well as the sun and the moon.
That is the human world Misgaard. And Odin is the supreme master of all, the sun is his creation, the giant Ymir is also his creation, so the human world Misgaard also comes from his hand.
But there are countless small worlds shining on the big tree. Odin created more than just one world. Standing on the earth and looking up at the stars, there are small worlds, and there are also people from other worlds.
Valkyries travel around the world, selecting the souls of brave people to send to the Hall of Valor, and those good people will eventually be resurrected in Asgard.
Asgard is not mysterious, it is a certain point of light among the stars in the sky, and that is where everyone belongs.
Heroic spirits from various small worlds gather in the Hall of Valor in Asgard, and eventually, under the leadership of Odin, they will fight Ragnarok with the gods.
Rurik would like to use this description to construct the creation of Rus.
The explosion of the universe was described by Rurik as Odin's creation of the world tree. Each galaxy is a giant like Ymir. The changes in the galaxy are the birth of some living planets. This is the death of giants to create mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, sun and moon.
The stars in the sky are described as small distant worlds. Ragnarok, the end of everything, is the heat death of the universe.
Rurik used his own knowledge to integrate mythology and create a set of words that can be easily understood by the people, thus explaining the birth of the world and its final outcome.
His first audience was Ella.
The two of them slept on the cobbled bed. Elal snuggled in her husband's arms and wanted to be happy, but the creation story described by her husband was too dramatic.
"Could it be that all the stars in the sky are different Misgards, with people like us?" Her curiosity arose and she must ask for the result.
"Those worlds are different from ours, but they are all created by Odin..." Rurik could only continue to make up stories to satisfy Ella's thirst for knowledge.
"Odin created the sun and the moon. Even though the Slavs and Finns have different views on the sun, it is ultimately due to some small issues with their beliefs. They just call Odin by another name, but Odin is Odin." Liuli.
Ke continued to explain, "He is the greatest god. Odin wants warriors and good people. The souls of the fallen, traitors, and thieves cannot go to Asgard, and they will fall to the lower end of the World Tree in the void.
, wandering in the darkness..."
Therefore, according to the fundamental principles of this mythological system, warriors enter the Hall of Valor, and good people among ordinary people enter Asgard. Therefore, as long as you are kind to others while alive and implement a set of rules defined by Rurik, everyone in the kingdom will have the soul
All can have a happy ending. Death is no longer the end. The souls of good people ascend to Asgard, where they can live a happy life and meet all the people who have passed away. Death is no longer extremely scary.
, the living people will no longer be extremely sad.
Ella listened carefully to Rurik's explanation and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. She felt that she already knew the truth of the world: "It turns out that all of us are undergoing Odin's trial."
Rurik could clearly sense her tension and excitement, "You are very smart. We are all undergoing trials, and the truth of the world is this. In our world, Odin gave Rose the opportunity to prosper, and we must seize it. We must
Write down the truth, prepare the manuscript first and then print it, so that our people can know the truth. In this way, they will go to Asgard for their souls and live a good life, and stick to order and morality."
"Compiling it... is indeed a difficult job." Ailaer forced a smile in his nervousness.
"You have done a good job so far. I will write the key points of "Russian Saga". I will do this tomorrow, and you will be responsible for copying it."
"Yes. I can't wait even now..." Ella was in shock and suddenly lost her desire to be happy with her husband. She looked very anxious. Her body seemed to be under the control of God and she must pick up the feather.
Write something with a pen.
Rurik was speechless and patted her head helplessly: "We'll wait until daybreak to discuss everything. Stop thinking so much and go to bed first..."
Ella's body was still as tight as a piece of wood due to nervousness. Rurik didn't expect that his explanation of creation could frighten him, so he simply closed his eyes and said nothing.
It was dawn, and Ella, who had been tossing late due to shock, was still asleep. Rurik had already gotten up, walked out of the bedroom, found a quill and paper at his woman's desk, and started writing.
"Genesis. I just modified the Big Explosion and invented one based on Nordic mythology. Odin is the creator of all things, and Freya has become a Virgin-like character, hehe..." Rurik thought to himself, pointing.
The sharp quill was dipped in ink and started to move.
The core chapter of "Los Saga" began to be written, even if it was a bit hasty.
So at the beginning, Rurik solemnly wrote - This is the truth.
It is like the Bible is made up of an Old Testament and a New Testament mixed with various versions of the Gospels.
"Rossaga" will not be a thin book. Its core is the chapter "Odin's Creation" that Rurik is writing, which is the philosophical core of the myth.
So Odin just created everything, and his purpose is to select talented people from each world to fight against the great destruction called "Twilight of the Gods".
Therefore, Odin did not formulate all kinds of rules and regulations for mortals. He just buried wisdom in the world like a treasure, waiting for smart people to discover it. And this is Odin's way of selecting talented people.
Legends in the past believed that the Valkyrie was authorized by Odin to select brave and fierce warriors in the world to serve as heroic spirits to face the doomsday battle. This excluded a large number of non-warriors, just like excluding them from this mythological system
. Then these excluded people will naturally look for a better faith, such as believing in Catholicism, where everyone can go to heaven through practice.
If there is no new interpretation of Nordic mythology and the source of the "Doomsday Heroes" can be expanded, faith will have no vitality. All men and women who are kind to their friends, all people who work hard to fish, farm and weave, and all people who have not committed any crime in their lives
, their souls will enter Asgard and become citizens of the Holy Land. If they become warriors and fight for the kingdom, without betraying or surrendering, no matter they die in battle or die in their hometown, their souls can directly enter the Hall of Valor.
It not only includes all Viking people, but also all Slavs, Finns, and anyone who submits to Rus and accepts this belief can have a happy ending.
Rurik then determined the theoretical core of Rus' faith based on this concept. The status of the god Odin was raised to an unprecedented height, and the other gods were all foils.
"At least all the tribes are willing to admit that Odin is a great god, as well as the Slavs and Finns. They are all willing to believe in a great creator." Rurik's words caused Ella to continue to tremble after waking up.
.
When Ella woke up, she was surprised that the king had woken up and wrote a dense manuscript.
The paper was full of sentences written in Latin. She was surprised to see it and was convinced of the content.
It was the saint Paul who processed the words of Jesus during his lifetime and created the first gospel of Ctrip. It was the disciples who compiled Confucius's remarks into the Analects of Confucius.
Both works established moral principles for their civilizations and ensured the stability of society as a whole.
What should the Kingdom of Rus be like? The Genesis part of "The Saga of Rus" is to establish a unique cosmology. To establish a set of universal values for the people of the entire kingdom, I am afraid that simply relying on the holy words of the saints is not enough. The kingdom needs a charter that needs to be clear and as detailed as possible.
law.
Rurik then stayed in seclusion here in Ella for three days, announcing to the outside world that "the king is communicating with Odin", just to obtain "all the truth" from the hands of God.
He made things very confusing, but the people were most curious about this. People didn't know what the "truth of everything" meant, so they continued the spring plowing, which was coming to an end, and used the retreat work between the king and the top scribe Ella as a source of conversation.
The people had more to talk about, and those returning Russian and Slavic warriors couldn't help but show off to their relatives and friends their experiences in the Frankish expedition. They each boasted about being great warriors, and then described the war scenes in extremely grand terms.
After all, the number of combatants on both sides of the Glacier Decisive Battle reached 30,000. Such a scale was considered a major battle in Europe today, and it was too exciting for the people of Novgorod.
The children listened to their father's talk about the mountains, and their hearts were deeply touched. They dreamed of joining the army and serving the king. In this way, they would not only become well-informed warriors, but also get a huge amount of loot.
But the king suddenly disappeared.
Rurik needs a lot of time to revise and revise the "Genesis" manuscript he wrote, just to make it logically consistent. The only one who can help him now is indeed Ella. To be fair, apart from King Rurik, Rurik is the most
In addition to having knowledge, redeem Ella, the highest scribe and historian.
She is a good student, and she is very eager to learn because she wants to know the truth about the world. She firmly believes that the system described by Rurik will be polished together.
It took three days to complete the revision of the "Genesis" chapter of "Roth Saga", and Ellajuan copied it beautifully on clean paper.
It was defined by Rurik as "all truth" and is a part and core part of "Russian Saga".
"That's it, we're done." Ella put down her quill and suddenly felt dizzy. She suddenly lay on the desk, and the oil lamp that illuminated her trembled violently.
It was late at night, and Rurik patted her shoulder lightly. "You are just too tired. Our work has been completed, you can have a good rest."
"I'm not tired. I'm just very nervous. I feel God's power acting on me. Every word I write has divine power. This power... I can't bear it."
She was hinting to herself, admitting that compiling this was indeed very brain-intensive. She could think so, and Rurik felt secretly happy. If she thought it was sacred, the people would think so too.
Ella rubbed her eyes. Her vision was actually weakened but not enough to affect her life. This was proof that she was focusing on documents. She sat up slowly and said slowly: "We should keep the documents well, I'm afraid the paper will be damaged."
damage."
"It doesn't matter." Rurik said, "It's not enough that the original document is written in Latin. It must have versions in Norse and Slavic. You have to complete the matching translation, and then I will coordinate the printing."
"Okay." Ella's face looked a little haggard, "I want to eat something and go to bed quickly. I think I will be busy tomorrow."
"Then let's rest." After saying that, Rurik opened his hands and picked up this woman who had made great achievements, and entered the bedroom with a smile.
After a while, he took the supper from the waiter and took it into the bedroom. He saw that Ella had already fallen asleep.
In the past three days, Rurik completed the compilation of the core part of the mythology system, establishing a philosophical core for the fragmented Norse mythology.
"Odin spreads wisdom into the world, and everyone can obtain the wisdom of God through learning." This was Rurik's explanation to the blacksmiths back then. Combined with a simple periodic table of elements, the ideological imprisonment of the craftsmen was over.
In this way, Russia's metallurgical industry began to explode and directly gave the army powerful military weapons.
Therefore, the royal family was the first to receive favors from Odin and was granted the right to rule by Odin. Therefore, the responsibility of the royal family became to help the talents across the country successfully meet the selection standards of "People of Asgard", so that every good person will be better after death.
Every soul can enjoy happiness. Of course, when living here, you should try your best to discover wisdom and continuously improve your current life.
So the king is the greatest wise man, and the nobles must be role models.
There are also priests. The priests are all women. They are responsible for festival sacrifices and are also responsible for helping the king explain his faith. All priests are servants of Odin and even more of the king.
The next day, the missing king appeared, and Ella continued to translate the Latin document into two other versions in her office.
Rurik looked serious and went straight to the palace to meet his father.
Old Otto's retirement life was originally ordinary. One day recently, Arik kept telling him stories about the expedition, which rekindled the dying old soldier's flame that was about to go out.
He complained a little about the disappearance of his son Rurik. Seeing his son return today, the old man couldn't help but scold him harshly.
There were only two people sitting in the palace lobby, father and son, avoiding everyone else.
"Ella is indeed a very good girl, but... you make your queen a little unhappy." Old Otto's voice was hoarse and harsh.
Rurik had a look on his face, "Father, I have already announced the reason for seclusion. You... actually forgot?"
"I am indeed a little confused. Tell me, what is your result? Odin, what new revelation did you give you?"
"It is all truth."
"Truth?" Otto's spirit was lifted, because he firmly believed that he had also been blessed by Odin, so he lived to this old age, just to spend the rest of his life assisting Rurik in completing the rise of Ross.
"It's the truth. All the truth! Odin tells me all the truth. And Odin wants to order me..."
"How?" Otto's eyes widened with excitement.
"Odin ordered me to tell all the subjects of the kingdom all this. I ordered Ella to describe the God's command in three languages. It will be compiled into a book and printed. I will print it in large quantities so that our people can
Direct access to Odin’s wisdom.”
The old man was trembling with excitement. His aging face looked up at the beams of the ceiling, and he shouted hoarsely: "Odin! Thank you for your love for Rose! I am your loyal servant!" He did not know what all the truth was and just wanted to thank Odin.
Man.
Rurik, who was sitting cross-legged, still looked serious. He knew that he still had a lot to do.
Even just on the issue of printing, it is not just the three language versions of the existing subset of "Ross Saga" that need to be printed with wooden movable type.
Some articles encourage people to be kind, encourage people to trade fairly, and encourage people to practice farming and mulberry cultivation, etc., in order to make the territory more harmonious.
In addition, we should focus on the official version of the "War of 840" book that is popular among the public. It can be divided into "War Chronicles of Götaland", "Danish War Chronicles", "Frankish War Chronicles" and "Flanders War Chronicles".
", it only introduces the war process that spans a whole year to the people, praises the bravery of the king and the greatness of the soldiers, and even announces one thing for all the subjects - Frank has opened the door to Ross, and Ross's hand of grabbing wealth has gone deep there.
