, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

After a short and fierce battle, there is no danger in the sea ahead.

The Aphrodite passed the resund Strait smoothly. As for the chicken feathers and the impact of the battle, Rurik can only wait for the situation to ferment, and then he can learn about the information. He doesn't need to inquire in person. Putting himself in the eyeliner of Hezeby, the Danish trade center, will bring a lot of intelligence back to Roseburg in October.

The time is approaching October in the Julian calendar. At this point in time, the Russian fleet returning from Sorgon in the east will also arrive at the home port far in the depths of the Gulf of Bothnia.

All the strength that expands overseas must seasonally oppose his hometown, and Rurik has a little thought, thinking that he can make peace with his own fleet.

Entering the Baltic Sea, the current wind direction is a bit changeable.

The Aphrodite skilfully exhausted the wind and headed north against the coastline of the peninsula.

Although some fishing boats were encountered during the voyage, it doesn't matter whether they are friends or foes.

The northbound voyage will not be suspended midway. Taking advantage of the temporary lack of rainfall, the big ship must rush as soon as possible until it reaches the key relay station-Tombstone Island.

After crossing the resund Strait, Rurik continued to sail for up to eight days!

The people in a boat passed through the slender island of land like a cucumber, and passed through the city of Visby on Gotland Island, which was already occupied by Merlaren immigrants. The big boat went all the way and successfully arrived at Tombstone Island.

Before entering the Aland Islands where Tombstone Island is located, the Aphrora had been spotted by Ross fishermen operating nearby.

The people of Ross know that there will be three big ships cruising in this sea area from this year.

The big ship from the southern waters, the gorgeous giant spinnaker has proved its identity, and the flag flying on the mast fully proves that the voyage of Lord Rurik has returned!

The fishing boats that wanted to approach all hung the "Oars Flag" of Ross, approached the Aphrodite smoothly, and then led the way.

"It's great! Brothers! We are finally back. When we board Tombstone Island, we are going home. We all disembark and rest, and we all rest for two or three days before leaving."

Standing on the bow of the ship, Rurik gave the order for a holiday, and he held it on the ship, cheering for it like people locked in a cage.

An island appeared in front of him, and Nolen cautiously accompanied his man, letting the sea breeze blow his face.

The men were cheering, but she was inexplicably worried because of nervousness.

"Rurik, Roseburg is in front of you?"

"No. It's a port of mine. Tombstone Island, where some brave warriors are buried, and their heroic spirits protect the Ross people who come and go. My dear, look at the east, and then look at your west!"

Noren looked at Rurik's fingers. In her eyes, the East was a vast sea, and the West was the same.

Wait a minute, it's not just the sea. Rather, a huge bay? !

Noren is not a simple musician who only plays the flute and compiles music. As the only daughter favored by the leader of Balmerk, she also learns some knowledge about governing a tribe through her father's ears and ears. She could think of the conditions of this sea area. Although she had arrived for the first time in her life, she also realized that Rurik's so-called Tombstone Island was at the center of the crossroads in the sea area.

The Ross people occupy this place, and they already have a great advantage in the vast sea.

So, what's the matter with the Swedes?

She is a visitor, exploring uncharted territory. But she also understood that her identity had become Rose's woman, she was not a visitor, and this time she was going home.

The Aphrora was successfully anchored in the natural bay of Tombstone Island. She docked the platform steadily, dropped the rope from the ship, and the people on the shore fixed it.

The word "AVRORA" is hung on the side of the ship. Even if people don't understand the Roman alphabet, as long as they see the pattern of this unique shape, they will know its true identity.

The rope ladder was lowered, and a large number of people began to disembark.

The soldiers, women, and a small number of weak children stationed on Tombstone Island were surprised to see an unimaginable number of men disembarking from the ship.

Master Rurik had a little girl in his arms. They had the same beautiful blonde hair and were swaying in the wind.

There was a lot of buzz about people discussing the Lord's trip to Balmerk for several months, and it was obvious that the rewards were not shallow.

Because the discerning person saw the amazing draught displayed by the Aphrola now, there must be a lot of cargo stuffed in the belly of the ship. Lord Eliulik's love for his tribe, it is obvious that these materials will eventually benefit everyone.

After four months, Rurik finally stood on the land of the Ross people.

He took a deep breath of the air from his hometown. It was Qiu Gaoqing and his sense of depression disappeared. His mind was full of external expectations.

The mercenary soldiers who accompanied the voyage, under the leadership of Captain Jeflo, entered the remaining warm wooden houses with wooden boards to rest. Everyone can get warm scented tea and boiled wheat, and even widows who have died husbands will give them to their arms in person...

Rik was lazy about what happened to them. Now Jeflo is experienced in this area, and Rik, who just wants to have a good rest, leads Noren directly into his mansion on the island.

Itinerant vendors from Lake Mlaren, who do business on Tombstone Island, come in rowing boats. These people are kneading their eyes vigorously.

Just because they saw a big ship from the south, the person who disembarked was Rurik of Ross?

Alas! So what happened to the big ship that stayed in Lake Mlaren?

Is it possible that the Ross people still have two big ships?

Just two years ago, Tombstone Island was just a maritime relay station that was defined as "the future can be expected." Now it is becoming a seaport city with a fortress and a trading base.

In other words, the geographical location of the land Islands determines that a trading base will inevitably appear on this island group.

On another plane, this trading location is named Mariehamn. In this plane, Ross under Rurik's rule is called Tombstone Island Port.

The population on Tombstone Island was suddenly complicated by the 831 War.

The most noble young grand prince came to Tombstone Island, and all the respectable people on the island gathered in the warm chamber.

Last summer, the wooden longhouse brothers discussed a decisive battle plan against the Gotland.

Rurik still sits in the seat of honor that the Lord Duke can only enjoy, accepting the diligent gaze of the admirers and listening to their introduction of what has happened on the island in the past few months.

It turned out that more than one hundred pioneers from Novgorod were divided into forty families. They turned away from their manor and followed the Sorgon fleet that returned in summer to Tombstone Island.

They built their own wooden houses, dug out wells with direct access to fresh water, opened up some fields to grow a small amount of onion heads that can mature quickly, and even built some wooden fences to keep more livestock in the future. I have to say that these Slavic immigrants from a society with a relatively high level of agriculture have improved the living conditions of the local Russ in some aspects.

Therefore, there are also Slavs who participated in this "reporting meeting."

The Slavs who attended the meeting directly referred to the island as "Stanislavsk" and called it their home.

Rurik, he sometimes speaks Gnostic and sometimes Cyrillic. He replies fluently to all the visitors, and they are very satisfied.

As a woman of the Duke, Noren is naturally obliged to listen to this meeting with Rurik.

"Rurik, your position in Rose is far better than my father in Balmerk..."

Nolen kept quiet and listened. She didn't say a word. She didn't know that the fact that she was there aroused everyone's curiosity.

Here, Rurik highly praised the feat of Slavic immigrants who joined the Ross and pioneered the prosperity of Ross, and assured him that after paying agricultural taxes in accordance with the regulations, they are the newly appointed new Russians, and men and women are obliged to do so. When Ross fights, he also has the right to share the dividends of the war.

In a cheerful atmosphere, someone asked: "Master Rurik, the woman next to you seems to be the new wife and concubine you brought back from Balmerk."

"Oh. Of course, this is Nolan, my wife."

Noble people have many wives and concubines, just like God King Odin has more than ten wives. The Ross people believe in such legends and understand that Lord Rurik is acting after the **** Odin.

This Balmerk girl named Nolan will become one of his official wives. As for the ten personal maids, they will naturally play the role of the Valkyrie under the command of the King of God.

Another smiled and reminded: "My lord, our Duke Otto, his fleet is coming back soon, perhaps on the way back. Our Speros will serve as the flagship of the Oriental Sorgon this year."

Rurik was awakened: "What? My father, shouldn't he have come back long ago?"

"Not yet. The weather is cold this year, and the wheat in the world matures late. Lord Duke will come back later. Besides, everyone knows that the wife he chose for you will be back on the ship this year."

"Huh? That Svetlana?"

"Yes it is."

"Okay! Okay..." Liurik said silently. This is really his own destiny. He can't escape the fate of his wives and concubines. This winter, his house will be full of women's twitter, and it must be very joyful.

After all, it was troublesome. Rrik couldn't help but stretched his waist and yelled casually: "You guys will boil some hot water for me. I want to soak in the hot water to refresh myself." After all, Rrik is smashing promise. Lun, the girl suddenly shook her head because she was a little bit shy.

Rurik had no intention of getting tired, and then asked: "Has our big merchant Gould have any news? He routinely buys food in Mlaren, what's the situation? Has the task been completed?"

Many people answered the matter immediately.

Someone yelled loudest, "My lord, Mellaren has something big."

"What's the matter?" Rurik stretched out his arms to signal for others to be quiet. "It will never be the wheat that fails to harvest, and Gould is not doing well? Fortunately, the situation is not too bad for me to bring back a ship of wheat.

"No! My lord. Gould is doing very well. He asked someone to bring back news a few days ago. Even if the wheat harvest in Lake Mlaren this year is as bad as it was two years ago, the situation is not too bad. All tribes The wheat we intend to sell is still as much as one million pounds, and we have no problem through the cold winter. Our fleet is still parked in Melaren waiting for the seller to deliver all the wheat and other materials. He plans the fifth of October. Let's go in the morning."

"Not bad. It exceeded my expectations." Rurik nodded in relief. The ability to get so much more wheat in the disaster is a manifestation of the ability of money! As for the people on the shores of Lake Mlaren, what does this have to do with the Ross people?

One million pounds of wheat is enough for the Ross people to survive the entire winter by simply eating wheat. The Russ now obtain wheat through not only the supply from Novgorod, but also the crazy plunder from Northumbria this year.

Perhaps the people who stayed at Tombstone Island regretted that they got less wheat this year?

Rurik raised his head and said: "I also tell you a good news! I have been away for so long, and actually led the Balmerks on an expedition to the eastern islands. I plundered the British Isles and may have half a million pounds of wheat. Afu The Lola was filled with wheat and stopped at the port. You can prepare some money to buy tomorrow. It's the old rule. One silver coin is exchanged for ten pounds."

I heard that all the people present jumped and cheered.

The sudden excitement made Rurik really bewildered: "You are all quiet! As for such happy?"

The person who just reported the news said jokingly: "My lord, we can't buy wheat at the Mellaren Bazaar. However, there are a few vendors selling wheat, and the price is only seven pounds for a silver coin."

Rurik was stunned: "Oh? The market price has become like this?"

"Yes, you give us favors."

This is indeed a blessing. Rrich didn't think he had done anything extraordinary. The purpose of the granary was to reserve and adjust. The king lavishly collected grain in the harvest year, and then opened the warehouse in the harvest year to release the grain at a preferential price. The stability of the kingdom lies in the human heart, and the stability of the human heart lies in the stability of food.

Regardless of the year of the plentiful calamity, in the past few years, the people of Rus have changed from eating a lot of wheat to being able to eat a lot of wheat every year. People have developed a habit of accepting the official price of a silver coin for ten pounds of wheat. Perhaps the people in Roseburg don't think there is anything, but the residents of Tombstone Island, who are at the forefront, know the fluctuations in wheat prices.

In good years, the settlers on Tombstone Island can voluntarily go to the Mellaren Bazaar to buy some relatively cheap wheat. Now in the disaster year, they are planning to eat fish for their lives. It is unexpected that Lord Rurik will come to extend the favor in person.

However, Rurik never imagined that the price of wheat on Lake Mlaren could reach such a high price. In this way, this is extremely scary. Is it possible that Gould suffered a big loss in the issue of buying food this year? It shouldn't be so! The new king of Sweden, Karl, this guy is not so stupid that it hurts the heart of the Ross people. As the first major grain producer in Mellaren, Carl's tribe must give a very favorable price.

Thinking of this, Rurik asked directly about the amount of food provided by King Carl and the amount of arrears needed.

Mention of this person Rurik was completely unexpected, and the faces of these guys suddenly changed.

Just now, the person who was clearly interrupted was interrupted in the middle of speaking, and now this person continues to yell: "Master Rurik! Carl! He is dead!"

"Dead? What? I heard that right?" Rurik sat upright as if getting an electric shock.

"It's true."

"Wait! Let me slow down." Rurik held his head subconsciously. He meditated for a while and then raised his head: "That guy is very young and has an extreme hobby for women, and many women are yelled by him. That. Guy, I'm afraid it wasn't during the battle with ten or twenty wives and concubines, who was as brave as the April Ram, and finally exhausted himself to death?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and many people said bluntly that Lord Rurik was really humorous.

Some people pointed out the reason: "My lord, Karl was assassinated."

"Assassination? Who did it?"

"It's the wealthy families. They recruited fighters to form private soldiers, broke into Karl's mansion and killed him."

"Ah! This... Bjorn!" Rurik suddenly remembered the name, "Bjorn, you still have to do it. Brothers, is the situation in Mellaren in chaos now?"

"The chaos seems to be over. The man named Bjorn claims to be the new leader of the Mellaren clan, and all the wealthy families support him. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"The other tribes don't seem to support Bjorn as our king."

"In other words, there is no king in Sweden now." Rurik nodded, touched his hairy chin, and muttered casually: "Maybe I will be the king?"

Someone heard the muttering and immediately murmured: "Only we Rus can be the king of Sweden. If you are the king, everyone will support it."

Then, many people made similar remarks.

Is it a good thing to be the king of Sweden? To be honest, Rurik didn't want to wade into the muddy water. Since the situation is chaotic and the people's hearts are complicated, I openly jumped out for fear that it is not the target of public criticism. I am really looking at it on the battlefield, but if I am targeted by a conspirator and guard against assassins every day, I can't bear it.

Rurik didn't intend to listen to what his subordinates reported. I am afraid that most of the news that these guys have learned is still hearsay. Merchants from multiple tribes rowed to Tombstone Island to sell things. By the way, they clamored that what they knew was how much was exaggerated and how much was true?

Rurik thought of an excellent way~www.mtlnovel.com~ that is, take the Aphrodite and then insert it to Lake Mlaren.

That Bjorn finally couldn't help but jump out to be the leader? Rurik was willing to believe that this guy was easier to negotiate than Carl.

However, the more in this chaotic situation, the Rus could not claim the king by himself, and could no longer stay out of the world.

Since the entire grain-carrying fleet is still waiting for the departure time at Lake Mlaren, it is reported that the newly launched Gurdot is anchored on Gould Island.

The Aphrora enters the Great Lake, and two big ships appear at the same time!

This is to show muscles to the Swedes in the entire Lake District. What internal comprehensive strength is not intuitive enough, two "large war weapons" appear at the same time, the phantom is worth a thousand words.

Rlik intends to let Bjorn know that the Ross people today are stronger than last year.
