A wonderful family banquet finally came to an end. Chief Magnut could only drink a small amount of ale on weekdays. Now he consciously drank the fine wine from Asgard and finally got a rare drunk.

The family of leaders who had received a large number of gifts did not hesitate to present their gifts in return.

The entire Balmerk tribe fell silent, except for some light spots on the distant fjord.

Those are people who fish for eels at night. I don't know when they found that they lighted a torch on a fishing boat, and then they could catch a large number of moray eels by throwing a fishing net. Eel is more delicious than herring. For the dinner I had today, Rurik praised the grilled eel.

In the long house of the leader's house, in a room separated by wooden boards, Rlik, who was full of food and drink, just wanted to lie quietly on a soft leather mattress.

And Nolen, as a gift from the family, lay beside him.

Under the beating flame of the oil lamp, she could clearly see the gesture of Rurik slowly taking off his coat. She resisted the tension and even worried that she would become a woman tonight. But if things are really the case, there is nothing to complain about.

Her destiny has been arranged, even if she has not yet reached the age of twelve, she can be sure that after her drunk father wakes up, she will immediately go to the priests to communicate, and then organize a wedding as a matter of course. The wedding was just a cutscene, and now, Rurik was standing in this boudoir.

"What are you looking at me doing? Are you nervous?" As he said, Rurik threw his leather jacket aside.

Noren sat curled up, she was still wearing her blonde hair, she was wearing only a plain robe, and her feet were in the soft and warm leather blanket.

The girl murmured: "My parents have decided. You... are my man."

"Indeed. Originally, this matter was first proposed by your elder brother."

The girl nodded and asked weakly, "Do you... like me?"

What should I say? Rurik was not busy talking, but took off the strange trousers and revealed even stranger shorts.

Rurik will not treat himself badly on the issue of dressing. He will always wear comfortable shirts and shorts, just like people will be normal more than a thousand years later. Also because of his preferences, those tribal boys and girls who accept militarization are also ordered to dress like this. It was this dress that made Nolan unimaginable.

Rurik walked forward casually and sat down casually. He stared at Nolan's face and asked, "Do you... like me?"

"I...I like it. You are a miraculous man, and you know music."

"Yes. I like you too. I like you to play the flute and like you to sing."

"Great."

The girl smiled like a blooming flower. She had no heart. Rurik supports her great career of playing the flute and composing new songs. That is the most perfect good man in the world.

Rurik lay down peacefully. The leather sleeper that used to sleep on the ground was the most commonplace. Now, this feeling is so novel.

He wants to rest, he wants to enjoy his first peaceful sleep on stable land after 20 days of sailing, but how can Nolan let this dream man from the sea go?

Rurik lived with two traveling brothers for a whole year. What have they experienced? How amazing is the Ross people? Is there really a connection between Rose and the legendary Asgard?

Noren seemed to be not tired at all, she kept asking all kinds of questions.

With so many problems, Rurik, who was bored, had to suppress his temper, listening to the girl's endless talk.

Until Nolan asked a very sharp question.

"You...you are a great person. Apart from me, how many women do you have."

"A lot." Rurik said calmly.

"How many are many? It doesn't matter. The priest said that the gods have many wives. It is only natural that the heroes of the world have many wives. Tell me." As if the girl didn't care at all.

Does it really matter? Isn't she jealous?

Rurik can't really care about that much. Considering that he is a king, if there is no queen and a bunch of concubines, people will question the power of the king and the power of a man. This kind of questioning is the most deadly in Northern Europe in this era.

"At least ten."

"Ah! So much!" Although Nolan had been mentally prepared for a long time, she simply sat up when she heard this number. Under the dim light of the oil lamp, she looked at the smiling boy in surprise, "Then, what position will I have among your many women."

"Of course noble status. My women are from various powerful tribes. But you are the most unique. You are good at playing the flute and know how to compose songs. You are wiser than ordinary women."

Originally, Noren did not expect such a great man to be indulging in pampering herself, and Rurik's words made her heart warm. She lay down slowly and continued to mutter: "Maybe a woman shouldn't pursue the flute too much. I should also do a good job as a woman like a normal woman."

"No. Just because you are good at playing the flute, I like it very much, and I will support you. Besides, I want to learn."

"Do you want to learn? I will teach you."

Nolan was really indifferent, her hobby was continuously affirmed, she immediately got up and turned out the bone flute made of eagle leg bones. She directly sat the birdie obediently, in front of Rurik, blowing a melodious, elegant and soul-purifying song.

Her appearance is amazing!

Rurik sat up, and only felt that the female elf sitting in front of him was clearly a legendary female elf. The beautiful flute sound seemed to describe the distance of the sea and the tranquility of winter snow, just like her peaceful face under the oil lamp. It makes people comfortable.

A typical Nordic melodious tune was finished.

"It's a perfect tune. Maybe, we should find a suitable place, and I am willing to continue listening. Your parents, two brothers, and your slaves all live in this huge long house. It really won't affect you. they?"

"It's okay." Nolan shook his head gracefully: "They have been used to it, especially my father. He doesn't feel that my flute is noisy at any time. Besides, it is the flute he gave me to encourage me to play."

Rurik was awakened by the sound of the flute, and it seemed that Nolen's playing ability was self-taught.

She is a purely natural literary girl. In the past few years, Liu Rick asked herself how brave women like men who she was used to, suddenly popped out a "female elf" who loves literature and art. It is really amazing.

Moreover, Rurik is really eager to learn to play the flute, eager to learn how to play the harp (if you can get it.) It's not that Rurik is suffering from a literary illness. He feels that music is powerful, and the Ross people need music to make it savage. Become elegant. I have to say that this kid Nolan is really a genius of rhythm. This music is full of fantasy, ethereal and melodious, and makes people feel at ease.

Compared with this girl who loves to play the flute, ask yourself, the Ross tribe does not have such talents. There are not even people who like music, and those who have flutes can play the music in half a catty. The harp that the tribe kept and robbed it from nowhere was so old that it became a firewood.

The music of the Middle Ages in Western Europe is in this melodious and ethereal tone. In essence, this tone is a strong Nordic style. The reason is that it is inseparable from the expansion of the Viking tribes.

On the contrary, it is the most decent Roman orthodox music. They learned ancient Greek music, and ancient Greek music learned from Phoenician music. As for Phoenician music, the roots are in the Mesopotamia. So much so that Roman music is also a wonderful tune of Middle Eastern flavor.

The ancient Egyptian music, because they used five tones, although separated from the east by 10,000 kilometers, there is a resonance in music over time! The music of the Pharaoh's court resembles the grand, elegant and soothing music of the East.

Do the various tribes of the Vikings have to be bound to the barbaric killing? Rurik asks himself that the Ross people who have lived in the fjord in the past four years have indeed suddenly begun to exert their full strength under their own agitation. The rapid expansion is accompanied by conquest, and Ross's conquest is indeed accompanied by cruel killings. Rurik didn't deny it, but he didn't feel wrong at all.

Is it just this killing that caused "too much resentment"? Is the future of the Russ always bound to barbarism?

Do not!

If the Principality of Rus is destined to evolve into a huge Rus country, doomed to dominate most of Northern Europe and the entire Eastern Europe, pure barbarism will not be able to achieve stable dominance. Maybe Zhou Gong founded Zhou Li back then, Zhou Li paid great attention to the power of music, and probably considered the ability to transform barbarism into elegance.

However, Lucia (a unified country of Russ) in the impression of Rick has an extremely dreamy artistic cell, so as her predecessor, the current Russ are actually not good at music! Can't bear it!

The Norn beside him, maybe all this is destiny, this girl who loves rhythm will bestow the soul of art to the Ross people forever, and will make the Ross people different from those barbarians forever.

Even though the future of a tribe is mainly determined by the reasonable will of all the tribesmen, the current Rurik believes that the geniuses emerging from the tribe or the talents introduced from other tribes will give the tribe a great leap forward.

Rurik wanted to test whether this Norn was really a genius who mastered the flute.

"Noren, if I hum a piece of music, can you play it on the flute right away?"

"Of course." Norenang got up, the confident smile made Rurik unable to doubt.

"Well then, listen to my singing."

Rurik hummed softly, and this piece was "Grenadier March". He hummed rhythmically this tune with a strong sense of rhythm, and saw Nolen in front of him. Her small body also sang with her, as if she had received the magic of music, trembling spontaneously and rhythmically. stand up.

Why hum this song? Rurik's intentions could not be more obvious, but Noren's limited insights could not be detected. Rurik's intention was to build a military band for the Ross army!

He had this idea a long time ago, but the so-called local music lovers of the Ross tribe, their level is really terrible.

Rurik only hummed twice, and Noren held the flute to show that he had learned it completely.

Then, a talented performer started her perfect playing.

The flute sound was refreshing and rhythmic. In the music, Rurik squinted his eyes. He saw one after another neatly lined infantry phalanx, walking in front of him at a neat pace.

Because "Grenadier March" is tailor-made for marching in a neat line! It actually only has two musical instruments to play, namely the flute and the waist drum.

It has only four core tunes. A military band that coordinates the march of the entire army. As long as these four sections are repeated indefinitely, each soldier can follow the rhythm of the tune and adjust his pace. On the battlefield, the army uses a phalanx attitude and is assisted by music to ensure that the formation is not chaotic, pressing against the enemy like a wall. This terrifying sense of coercion will definitely overwhelm the enemy in its momentum.

Rurik's eyes widened and he couldn't help applauding: "You are a true genius."

"Thank you for your compliment. So are you, the tune you sing is so amazing, it gives me an urge to shake my body."

"Hey, you will know my purpose. Now lend me the flute. You will teach me how to play."

"Okay."

She is a sentimental and talented musician, and she will certainly bestow art to the Ross people.

Rurik knew too much about the power of acting. If the people saw that a wife of the Duke loved music, they would definitely try to follow suit.

Yes, it is necessary to form a professional court band. When the so-called banquet guests, let the musicians play to add to the fun.

Of course, Rurik couldn't learn how to play the flute all at once. Even if she was a genius Nolan, she did have a strong sense of music. As for the skillful use of the flute, it was also because her daily life was really leisurely.

She is the daughter of the leader, just like the young girls of the Balmerk family, apart from learning some simple "homework that a woman must know", she doesn't need to learn anything else. The daughters of ordinary people, who usually start at the age of five, must work for the family like their other brothers and sisters.

Balmerks are a "huge" tribe with a personal population of nearly 20,000. Magnuth has many brothers and relatives who are relatively distant from each other by blood. Those who control the dominant position, they have enough wealth, their marriages are intricately intertwined, so that the relationship between everyone becomes very close, even if there are some contradictions between each other, it depends on the blood and in-laws, everyone is in the courtroom. After discussing it, there are no contradictions.

The huge tribe must have a figure representing everyone's rights, and Magnut was elected as the leader. The leader's beautiful little daughter lives the life of a meal. Her life is like an otaku. In a boring life, I am afraid that only learning musical instruments and composing music can kill the boring life.

Now, she ushered in the destined man, and they were completely relieved of the big families who had learned about it on the dock.

Magnuth snorted and fell asleep. Her wife Inbjerg was very similar to her husband's snoring, but why did the flute sound in her ears?

Any mother wants her daughter to have a good man. Through the description of the eldest son Biyunni, this noble Rurik is already a real man at a young age, and there is already a group of identities around him. Woman. She was nervous at first. As Biyuni described briefly and casually, the so-called Rurik was extremely friendly to all the women, even to the slaves, and it happened that such a friendly person led the Russian army. Won many dangerous battles.

Imbjerg, she wished that her daughter could have something to do with Rurik. If there was a result, then the priests would have nothing to say. If a ceremony is held a few days later, the daughter is Married smoothly. She firmly believes that Rurik will take into account the powerful strength of the Balmerks, and will give Nolen a high enough position in the new family, among the many women of Rurik, Duke of Ross.

As a result, after this night, something strange really happened to the two of them.

Magnuth was still asleep, and Imbjorge in the morning walked into his daughter's boudoir with good intentions looking for the flute. In the room, why did his daughter Nolen become two?

Do not! One of them wearing strange clothes (white linen shirt) is Rurik, with draped blond hair playing a flute, exactly the same as his daughter.

The old woman coughed twice, which attracted their attention.

"Dear Rurik, Nolan. It seems that your relationship is already very good."

"Yes~www.mtlnovel.com~ Rurik nodded: "I like her. And her ability to play the flute. "

"That's great. You have come from afar but have to rest for a few days. Lurik, the elders of the tribe will invite you to our chamber in a few days. These are all your men's business, so I will No more questions. Put on your clothes and come and eat something. As he said, the kind-looking Imbjerg slightly strained his face, and commanded to Nolan: He is already your man. Nolen, take your man around our homeland for a while and look at our fjords and the great snow-capped mountains."

Noren put out his tongue playfully, then turned his head, and smiled at Rurik...

Imbjorg sighed slightly, she turned and left the girl's boudoir. My two sons, especially Froggy, listened to his elder brother's nonsense, and they had to kick the blond hair clean on their heads, and even tattoo patterns. Is it true that a warrior must do this? On the other hand, Rurik, in the eyes of Inbjg, this young hero from the Ross people really became more pleasing to the eye. She wished to keep the boy by her side, but it was just an unrealistic fantasy.

At a glance early in the morning, she saw that Rurik was actually busy learning to play the flute. It was a good thing for her daughter to have a confidant, but as a member of the chief family, Imbjerg knew too much about the meaning and importance of political friendship.
