After the ship stopped, the captain and first mate went to get rid of the stolen goods, while the remaining pirates went to have a good time and party.
Only Hidliefa walked in the direction of the Municipal Library.
She always had an unreal sense of trance around her, and she didn't know why. There was a voice in her head that kept reminding her, making her think of it, but she just couldn't remember it.
"Follow your heart..." the voice said.
Follow my heart, Sidrifa said to herself.
Explore, conquer, become a noble lord like the Vikings, and have your own army.
Only then will he be able to find and take revenge on the lord who destroyed his village and killed his mother.
It’s also embarrassing to say that I don’t even know who the enemy is. Old Wilder was not in the village at the time, so he couldn’t capture any clues about the enemy.
By the time he and Sidrifa returned to the village, the entire village had been burned to ashes.
After burying her mother, Sidrifa became a pirate.
Her explosive power and physical strength are astonishing, and she has no physical disadvantages of women. She can fight with the most powerful boatswain on the ship with a sword, and she can also throw a pirate who teases her over the side of the ship, and then laugh at him with her hands on her hips.
.
More importantly, none of the pirates were sure whether Sidlifa would be their daughter. Although Old Wilder rejected the possibility of most people being the father based on Sidlifa's birth date, most of them
The pirates all said that this was Old Wilder's lie.
The purpose is to raise everyone's daughter as his own.
The profession of pirate is actually quite boring. After all, you spend most of your time facing the unchanging sea, and there is no fun at all.
Therefore, all pirates are very happy to be able to raise their daughters on the ship. Even if a new kid tries to have sex with Sidrifa, his hands and feet will be broken by other pirates and tied to the mast.
After spending 6 years on the pirate ship, Sidrifa finally grew into a beautiful girl with waist-length blond hair, but she was getting further and further away from her mother Lisa's original idea of "marrying a nobleman".
When Sidrifa entered the Municipal Library, the guard couldn't help but take a second look at her, because her waist-length golden hair was so dazzling, and God knows how many years she had taken care of it.
The Great Library was established with donations from the Solomon Church, which was the latest to settle in Helsingør, with the purpose of spreading the glory of God's knowledge.
Although there is no restriction on anyone's access, considering that most of the Normans in this era were illiterate, few people were willing to enter this library to read.
Sidrifa walked into the library and looked at the clean wooden floors and neat bookcases, feeling a little timid for no reason.
Then she discovered another problem: she couldn't read, so she didn't know which book to read first.
After standing in front of the bookcase for half an hour, a clear voice sounded next to me:
"Excuse me, did you encounter any problem?"
Sidrifa turned around and saw that the other person was a handsome-looking blond young man, wearing clothes that Sidrifa could not recognize, but that looked very decent and luxurious, with a gentle expression.
"Well, I want to find some enlightenment books." Hidrifa said.
"You can't read?" The young man was a little surprised.
He was attracted by the other party's astonishing beauty and guessed that she was the daughter of a local nobleman, so he came to talk to her.
Although her clothes were extremely simple, what the young man didn't expect was that the girl actually admitted that she was illiterate, so she was definitely not from a noble family.
What a pity for that beautiful waterfall-like pale golden hair.
Although he immediately lost most of his interest, the young man still patiently selected a few books, handed them to her and said:
"Well, these are for noble children. They teach basic letters, pronunciation, and the meanings of 1,000 common words, as well as some simple grammar."
"Thank you." Sidliefa took the book, found a seat next to it and sat down, and read it carefully.
"You took it backwards." The young man couldn't help but remind her.
"Oh." Hilda turned the book over.
"You can't read if you can't read?" the young man asked curiously.
"Of course not!" Hidley rolled her eyes at him and said in a tone of "There's no point in asking."
"Let me teach you." The blond young man rolled his eyes, said with a smile, and began to teach her a few simple letter pronunciations.
The two sat in the library for an afternoon, and Hidrifa learned that this noble young man was called Laertes, the youngest son of Claudius, the great nobleman in the city, and had recently converted to Solomonism.
Solomon's Catholicism has spread very rapidly in the north of the mainland recently, and a large number of Normans have chosen to convert.
When the missionaries of the Holy See came to the north, the first thing they did was to build a power generation church. They built a large wind power station near the coastline and connected it with the hydropower group in Scandinavia across the sea.
As long as the Norman civilian believers declare their conversion, they can then connect an electrical conduit from the church and give them a few free light bulbs, so they can enjoy the light even in the cold polar night.
For nobles, as long as they can afford it, they can enjoy more.
For example, high-quality wine and food, high-art movies and games, etc., all make these northern nobles who are used to the barbarism suddenly feel as if they have suddenly entered a high-tech civilized society, and their quality of life has made a qualitative leap.
Laertes, a blond aristocratic young man, was a new convert to Solomon's Catholic Church. While teaching Hidley how to read, he also actively persuaded her to convert to God with great enthusiasm.
However, as Sydliba yawned several times, Laertes stopped talking, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed.
After finishing a few chapters of today's lessons, and seeing that it was getting dark outside, Sidrifa said goodbye to Laertes and walked happily towards the port.
In the tavern at the port, Sidrifa found the drunken pirates, found the boss and opened several rooms, and threw all the pirates in.
——————
This kind of day probably passed for more than half a month.
From Laertes, Sidrifa learned the spelling of all letters, as well as some simple vocabulary and grammar.
Although Laertes was still trying to guide her to convert to Solomonism, and even expressed his intention to pursue her, Hidrifa still showed no reaction.
She always had a strange intuition about Laertes. She couldn't tell the specific situation, but it didn't feel good.
Finally, the day came when most of the dirty goods on the ship were removed, and the money earned by the pirates was spent in the tavern.
It's time to leave this city.
Sydrifa walked to the Great Municipal Library, intending to say goodbye to Laertes properly and to say thank you.
If Laertes was willing to accept it, she could also pay her tuition for this period as compensation for rejecting his advances.
Arriving at the Municipal Library, Sidrifa was shocked to find that there was no one there.
She waited in bewilderment all morning, but still no Laertes.
Wanting to write a note for him, Hidliefa wrote a few words, but found that the following words could not be written at all.
It would be nice if I could study for a while longer.
She sighed and threw the paper ball into the trash can nearby.
Sidrifa walked out of the library door. Behind her, invisible, several figures followed furtively.
