The flagship hit the sandy beach with great force, and the hard oak keel carved a deep dent.
A plank was lowered from the ship and tilted toward the ground.
Rurik on the shore recognized the fat old guy Gould at a glance. He saw that this guy was quite good at playing. He actually slid to the ground while sitting on a wooden board, and then
The landing was perfect, and the fat belly and face trembled.
"Let's go, Snoleva, follow me to see your father." Rurik shook his neck, and his two close friends walked first.
Rurik now has no time to watch the other merchants who washed the beach. Those people also brought a lot of goods, but they were not his own. In other words, the goods brought by those people combined were not as good as Gul.
Virtue has weight. And so many retail merchants followed Gould's large army. In fact, they were just trying to ensure the safety of the route.
Among those merchants, there was the stamp collector Fordegen. This old guy personally brought a pile of leather coats made of cowhide on a business expedition.
As a result, Arik, who was ordered to lead the young warriors of the tribe to maintain order and punish the thieves, noticed at a glance the leather jackets being sold by a certain merchant.
Arik bought it immediately. At this time, he had to admit that the goods of this guy, who was said to be from the Melalen tribe and a veteran who hired experts to make leather jackets, were really high quality.
What a great fortune! My wife Peravina is very good at sewing linen clothes, but she is not very good at processing leather.
So Arik immediately gathered his brothers who had won the battle and bought almost half of Vodgen's ready-made clothes.
This angry Ford slapped himself in the face and secretly cursed himself for setting the price cheaply. At the same time, he couldn't help feeling that a Russian was really rich.
Snoleva was a little strange. He felt that Rurik always seemed a bit adult, even though he had only met him for half a day.
This person is definitely not any child I have seen before.
It's as if this child's soul is far more sophisticated than his immature appearance.
Two girls wearing white fox leather robes also successfully landed from the "wooden slide" and stepped on the territory of the Ross people. Carlotta and Ella were inevitably a little timid.
of.
The two of them also saw the snow-white child not far away. Before seeing clearly, Carlotta thought it was a girl. However, when they were on the boat, Gould
He said that the child was Rurik, and even made fun of him because of the color of his clothes.
Fortunately, Carlotta, who saw Rurik's appearance clearly from a distance, realized that Gould's praise, and even the praise of her dead grandfather, were actually reliable.
.
Rurik, he is really clean and tidy. The way he carries his sword looks like a warrior, and his standing figure is different from ordinary children.
noble.
For a moment, Carlotta was instinctively timid, and her sister Ella was even more cautious.
The two girls consciously hid behind Gould, but they didn't know that their strange behavior attracted Rurik's strong attention.
Why? There were some well-dressed people, and Rurik knew at a glance that they must be Gould's family. Those people were very easy to identify - they were all fat people.
However, there were two "blond-haired white rabbits" who looked very similar to him, following Gould closely, as if they were his daughters.
Bah! How come the fat Gould has two skinny descendants?
"Are they the so-called last girls of Ostara? It's really strange, how come you two are dressed the same as me?!" Ruri thought to herself.
Ke Zai turned his head and looked at his robe: "If I had known, I wouldn't have worn such conspicuous clothes."
Rurik took off his white fox hat, raised his proud head and walked forward proudly.
"Gould, you are finally back. You kept me waiting for a long time."
"Oh, my old friend!" Gould opened his arms. He subconsciously wanted to hug his friend, but seeing that Rurik was too young, he gave up.
"By the way, where is your father? Where is the big leader?"
Rurik tilted his head: "It's right here. Look, I'm carrying a sword."
He is the "Destroyer" of leader Otto.
Suddenly, a terrible thought came to Gould's mind. He couldn't help but take a step back because of it, but he almost squeezed the two hiding white rabbits to the ground. "Liuli"
Ke, could it be that the big leader has already..."
"Huh? You...did you think that?!" Rurik knew that Gould had speculated that Otto was dead. It is true that if the old guy drinks strong alcohol every day, he will die sooner or later.
In alcohol poisoning.
Rurik hurriedly explained: "My father is fine, but he recently fell in love with a treasure, which made him unable to manage the affairs of the tribe. Don't worry,
I will eventually inherit the position of leader, so I might as well do something now."
"A temporary leader? Okay, my leader. Now, please allow me to introduce you to two lovely friends."
Originally, Gould had planned to introduce the two girls from Ostara slowly, but since they were stuck with him, he decided to introduce them to the front desk this time.
Rurik, his expression was calm.
Two little girls with golden hair stood in front of Gould. They were somewhat timid, with fox or ferret fur hats covering their heads, and gold threads hanging down on their cheeks.
Their faces are quite rosy, but they also look a little thin. They are thin but they are both healthy overall. Their clothes are rich and fresh.
Rurik felt like two elf ladies.
This is not surprising, Rurik already knows their ages and knows that girls of this age are always extremely slim and thin.
However, this does not affect their growth into a bucket-waisted aunt decades later.
Compared to Easterners, Rurik really knew that the most beautiful years for a Nordic girl are probably ten years.
To be fair, what my father, who was deliberately drunk, said was true, they were indeed beautiful.
In fact, Otto also heard from Snoleva that everyone is a man and their aesthetics are highly consistent.
It is said that these two girls have experienced a very painful past?
"Gould, I heard your eldest son say that this is the girl from Ostara?"
"They are the chief's granddaughters. However, the situation has changed now." After saying that, Gould gave Carlotta a nudge.
A taller girl took two steps forward. She looked a little frightened and kept her head slightly tilted.
Rurik ordered calmly: "Girl, raise your head and look at me."
Carlotta was shocked. She didn't expect that Rurik, whom she had been dreaming about, spoke so sharply?
She raised her head suddenly and saw Rurik's blue eyes and his white and pure face.
Precisely because he had been washing his face with soap, there were no freckles on Rurik's face. He was really clean, so clean that Carlotta felt that he was holy.
It was always offensive when two strangers stared at each other. Carlotta hurriedly lowered her head, but Rurik could not take his eyes away.
Are they going to be my wives too?!
Rurik said loudly again: "Girl, keep raising your head and looking at me! Tell me your name and your identity."
Carlotta was startled again and hurriedly raised her head and said in a hurry: "I...I am Carlotta, leader of Ostara...troops! I am the female leader of Ostara."
"Huh? The female leader of Ostara? You? I don't think so. How could Ostara choose a girl who stutters to be the leader?"
"No! I don't stutter." Carlotta felt that she was slightly offended and she was a little angry. It was precisely because of this that her panic calmed down.
There was a hint of sharpness in the girl's eyes, which Rurik noticed clearly.
"I am the female leader of Ostara, I am Carlotta, and this is my sister Ella." As she said that, the girl pulled her sister to her side: "Our tribal experience
I have gone through a series of hardships, and now I have come to seek refuge with you."
"Come to us?" Rurik actually asked knowingly. He felt that things had become a little strange, so he asked: "Why? Is it a guest? I think we
The land here can no longer accommodate too many people."
Did he object? Carlotta was a little panicked, and because she remembered the painful things, her eyes immediately burst into tears: "Rurik! My grandfather often talks about you,
It is said that you are a talented person in the alliance, but you are the best. Our tribe has encountered a great disaster, almost all people have died, and we need the protection of you Rus people."
"Is it necessary?" Rurik still deliberately kept a straight face, as if he was indifferent, or he was clearly expressing his opposition with indifference.
"I beg you!" Suddenly, Carlotta pulled her sister to her knees, and the two children began to cry bitterly. Carlotta cried the hardest here: "Rurik,
You are a saint! The Mellaren people refused to take us in. Now only you Rus people can take us in. As long as you allow it, we will always be your servants from now on.
.Even! I will..."
"Will you be my wife?" Rurik asked deliberately
"ah!?"
Rurik said this in a somewhat cold tone that would definitely make Carlotta tremble.
"What? You are surprised! You don't want to be my wife?"
"No, I am willing." Carlotta said in a panic, "As long as you can protect my people, I will do anything you want."
Since taking on the important mission of reviving the tribe, Carlotta has really risked her life. However, she has found the right person, because Rurik also bears the burden of "for
It fulfills the mission of bringing unprecedented prosperity to the Ross tribe.
"Then you get up first." Rurik raised his hand and said, and this gesture was like an older person facing a younger person.
To be honest, Rurik didn't feel very good when he met the two girls for the first time. It was said that they were as beautiful as elves, at least that's what his father Otto said.
They are indeed beautiful, or rather cute, but there is nothing more special about the two girls.
She has become the leader, does this girl still lack some backbone? She actually knelt down casually!
At this time, Gould hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Rurik, you Russians must take them in. I am suggesting that you do this, because it will harm the Russians."
There must be benefits to the Si tribe."
Rurik nodded: "Okay, my wisdom can tell that taking them in will have huge benefits. I did not refuse the girl's plea. I heard about your eldest son's explanation."
Released, they Ostarians were attacked by the Danes, and now only a hundred of them have reached my Fort Ross?"
"It's absolutely true, and they are all women and children. You Russians will definitely like it." Gould added.
"Of course, we Rus need more people. It's just that I would be happier if some Ostara warriors joined. You know, we Rus need
warrior."
These words undoubtedly stabbed Carlotta's heart. The men of Ostara fought hard, but unfortunately almost all of them died. After receiving the promise of taking in, Carlotta
Stand up and wipe away your tears.
She interjected: "Great... great Rurik, are you already the leader of the Rus tribe?"
She added the honorific "greta", and Rurik felt that "the great emperor" deserved such a prefix. Haha, could it be that this girl is actually very good at observing people's emotions?
Rurik had seen Carlotta's face, so the other one who was shorter was Ella. Compared to her elder sister, the younger sister looked more delicate.
"I haven't taken on the role of leader yet, but the position of leader must be mine. You, the female leader of Ostara, you can now regard me as the leader of Ross. Whatever I say,
Every word carries weight. My father, the leader, lent me his sword, and today I am the leader."
"Ah! Great leader, may God bless you forever." Carlotta complimented.
"You're welcome." Rurik showed a smile: "My father, the leader, has decided that my family will take you two in. Your people are all
You will be taken in, you will be treated kindly by us, and you will definitely live a stable life like us Russians. As for you two, you will live in the chief's home."
"Ah! In other words, your father plans to...adopt us?!" Carlotta asked urgently, unable to conceal her inner joy despite her excitement.
"Adoption? Sort of." Rurik shrugged: Look, the three of us are wearing very similar white fox and ferret clothes. We all have long golden hair. If you
I think if I tie my hair up like this, it will look more like a family. Will we be like a family? It doesn't matter. You can tell me about the days before. We are fine.
It’s easy to talk. If we don’t talk about the painful memories, I would like to know the stories of the residents in the south of our alliance. Alas, I have not even left this fjord.
."
"Okay, great Rurik." Carlotta said sweetly.
"Don't give me the prefix "Great", just call me by my name. Remember, we Russians and Ostarians are an alliance. We are One Plus people.
I am your half-brother, the one you can rely on. Even..."
At first, Rurik thought of it and wanted to say "I am your husband", but after thinking about it carefully, his father's arbitrary idea was still too farfetched.
He added: "We are a family now anyway. My father pays great attention to you two and he would be happy to take you in as his daughters."
Rurik was just pretending, although he knew that Otto would definitely treat these two people well. Adopt them as daughters? Bah! The old guy who has been addicted to drinking strong drinks recently is more willing.
Saw a group of grandchildren running around.
The two girls cried again, especially Carlotta, who smiled in pain and opened her arms to hug Rurik tightly. Yes, now that Rurik is gone,
He has always shown kindness.
Rurik was hugged by two girls of the same age who were crying bitterly, as if he was indeed their brother.
Niya shed tears when she saw this scene. She did not object to raising two more daughters. Anyway, there would be no problem for her only son to marry them many years later.
In this way, doesn't the Rus also control the Ostara tribe?
Only Rumia was jealous when she saw that a deer herder had fallen into the hands of the leader of the Rus people. Rurik was the only one here who was really a good person. Rumia took Rurik
Ke is the only support and the only brother. Now...
"It's so touching!" Gould applauded, "Congratulations to you, Rurik, my friend, you now have two more sisters."
"Then you think I'm happy?" Being hugged tightly by the two girls, Rurik could only stick out his little head and look at the smiling old guy in embarrassment.
Gould.
"I think you are certainly happy. Listen, I have completed everything you told me, and I hope that your promises will also be fulfilled."
"Of course!" Rurik said without hesitation: "The money has been prepared and I will definitely satisfy you. Also, the distilled wine I promised has also been completed."
"Really? Just like I bought it at a high price before?"
"Of course!" Rurik forced a smile, "Real spirits can burn, I have finished it. When we discuss the business in detail, I will take care of it."
All the strong wine in my head will be given to you."
"Oh! Thank you so much."
"What do I want? Servants, mercenaries, food, and others."
"They're all here." After saying that, Gould snapped his fingers, and soon a group of strong men appeared.
