Otto's words are quite meaningful. How to become a qualified leader? Rurik was curious.
The current Rurik is indeed full of curiosity about everything like a normal child, and it feels like this to others in performance.
Liulik is different after all, and a personality named Liu Li lives in this body. Liu Li, he himself is full of wisdom, because his body is too small and immature, and his flexible hands cannot create things to improve the life of the tribe.
But even if he was only two years old, he had already begun to conceive something, and figured out, relying only on the tools he saw and heard, as well as observing tribal craftsmen making and repairing ships, thinking about the existing conditions of the tribe and what can be made.
In Rurik's view, the so-called dock of the tribe cannot be called a dock at all.
All the ships are small, and it takes time and effort to move the goods. There is a lot of room for improvement.
He even felt that everything he saw and heard had room for improvement!
They have wooden longhouses that have been strengthened to keep out the cold, but they don't have the concept of making wooden beds. Every night, they put a few layers of thick animal fur on the ground, and then sleep in the fur.
They stock a large amount of food to survive the winter, but they do not carry out fine processing, and their eating is simple and rough.
They can make many fine daily necessities, and they even have a good weaving ability. The requirements for housing are relatively simple.
They love to be clean in nature, they often take a bath in summer, but the night is long and cold in winter, they can only wash their faces.
Tattoos are still popular among them. In the warm long house in winter, and then the oil lamp of seal grease, Rurik noticed the strange words that his biological father had been stabbed on the north. Rurik guessed that the Luen text was a word that meant blessing.
Judging from Rurik's eyes, the Roseburg where he is is by no means a good place to live, even if it is a thousand or two hundred years past, it is still not a good place to live.
It was another quiet and long night, and Rurik still gave his family a feeling of surprise.
He knew that he was regarded as a treasure by his parents, especially his father, Otto, as the hope of the entire tribe, and that was indeed the case.
So every night in the winter of 823, Rurik always left the arms of his mother, but was forced to get close to his biological father Otto and sleep with his cousin Arik.
In Otto's words, even if the two children follow him, his breath of heroism can be passed on to them.
The heroic spirit Liu Rick can't feel, but the smell on Otto's body is not very good.
After a long time, Rurik got used to it.
This night, the outdoors is still extremely cold, Roseburg is also covered by a layer of snow, and even a lot of ice floes have been distributed on the sea.
Only the long house is warm. Otto, who lies on his side, faces a quiet and boring night, and naturally has a lot of time to face his family.
Now, almost every night, he introduces his brilliant fighting life to the two children, especially the great journey to Novgorod.
It was from Otto, Rurik understood the vocabulary completely but it was "Novgorod" without a doubt.
Novgorod, a Russian city with a very old history.
Otto has been saying that the people there are rich, but lack combat power. The men of the Ross tribe can force them to offer treasures obediently only by their aura.
Finally, Rurik could not hold back what he had held for a long time.
"But Dad, shall we keep looting them?"
"Yeah." Otto was very curious, he had no idea that his son would ask.
Not only Otto, Arik who listened to the story, and Niya who sew leather gloves with the help of oil lamps also cast surprised eyes.
Only because, just over two years old, Rurik raised a question that obviously is not his age.
Otto looked at his son's wide eyes and hesitated for a while: "Don't you think we should rob them? You should know that they are a flock of sheep, we are just going to cut the wool."
"Hehe, maybe my brother is a very kind person." Arik said haha.
Otto shook his head, "It doesn't matter if you are kind to them, just like the Danes in the south are not kind to us. You two should understand that if it weren't for our strong physique and sharp swords, and many warriors, we were looted. It's us. It's like a person encounters a black bear in a vast forest. If there is an axe, the bear is the bear skin you lie on. If not, the person is the prey."
Even though Rurik disagrees with the remarks of the weak and the strong, it is not surprising that they have such an extremely simple idea for the Ross tribe to survive in this extremely cold fjord.
"But maybe we can do business with them peacefully." Ruriek continued to ask.
"Ah, my child." Otto stroked his son's forehead. "If your grandfather knew that you said that, he would be very happy. But those people have already surrendered to us, we just have to get rich tributes. That's it. Child, you should understand that people there live richer than us, and they are not as cold as ours."
"Since... since they are not cold there, and our combat power is very strong, we all move there and live with them."
"Huh? Rurik!"
To be honest, Otto has never thought of moving. Although he has heard a lot of rumors that some tribes in the south have moved south on a small scale, it is really unheard of that the tribes moved.
"We will be fine here right away. Roseburg is too cold! The twice-yearly Sorgon has a long route. Since it is the tribute provided by those people, we live with them, and they don't give us tribute every day. Fu?"
Otto stared at his eloquent son. Some logically conscious words came out of a two-year-old child. Otto felt incredible how he thought about it.
But think about it again, there is no proof, is Rurik really extraordinary? !
Otto fell silent in shock. Indeed, his son's words have some truth.
But, can the family move? Obviously not!
Otto could not prevent some small families of the tribe from settling in unknown areas, but the core of the tribe must stay in this cold Roseburg Fjord. There are other considerations here.
He stroked his son's forehead, explaining like to a close friend: "Child, we can't move away."
"Is it because there are ancestors' tombs here? Or because even in the cold, everyone still likes our Roseburg?"
"Not only these, but also because of a covenant."
"A covenant?" Rurik was taken aback, because he never knew what other promises were made by the Ross tribe. "What kind of covenant is that? I know what covenant means."
"It is our ally with Shiyaren, our friends in the south. We are a whole, and as our leader, I must abide by this covenant. UU reading www.uuknshu.com, we cannot move away without authorization, once we do that If we fail, we will turn generations into enemies. Because we all hate betrayal."
At this moment, Rurik felt that Otto's attitude was very serious, and his own young body was shocked in a cold sweat.
Because there are a lot of thoughts and fears here.
Lurik also calmed down, his eyes widened and his expression calmly said: "Dad, what if our destiny is to leave?"
"The result is that friends become enemies, I think it will be." Otto replied pretendingly.
"Ah, if the fate is like this, as long as our Ross tribe becomes stronger, even if the so-called thinking demihumans unite, even if it is a stronger Danish, we don't need to be afraid of them."
"Child, are you serious?" Otto continued to ask seriously.
"Yes. I think, when I grow up, I will leave here. I don't want to be the leader of the tribe, I want to be a greater being. Become...become a king, be the king of the kingdom of Ross."
Otto took a deep breath, not knowing what to say for a while.
He was silent for a while, feeling the difference of his son and the extraordinary ambition he showed since he was only two years old.
He didn't say anything in the end. Compared with his son's life ambitions, maybe his "great achievements" may become insignificant.
Otto finally patted Rurik's body: "Child, you must at least grow up first. There is always one thing that you will inherit my "Destroyer" sword. Only when you grow strong enough to meet the sword, will you have a chance. Show your extraordinary ambitions."
"I understand, that is not how long the future will be. Dad, I think I believe in the prophecy of the elder Granny Villa."
"You can trust her, now, sleep quietly."
