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

The shovel digs the pit, the double saw cuts the big cedar tree, and the trunk is processed and inserted into the pit to become the foundation pillar of the wall.

The White Tree Manor became the city of Novgorod, and the construction of the city wall entered the fast lane.

Medvedt served as Governor of Novgorod, he seemed to be in power, but in fact he was constrained in many aspects. The right to use large tracts of farmland will be handed over to various Varangian immigrants. Although the Grand Duke Rurik has established by law that everyone is a Ros, the Ros is different from the Ros.

The real Varangian talents are the real Rus, and the Rus tribe population among them is the top noble.

A large-scale immigration operation is ready to take place, and there will soon be a large number of Gnostic-speaking people in this lake area.

Perhaps this is a good thing. The intermarriage between the Varangans and the Slavs has been carried out for many years, I am afraid that after many years...

Medvedt was too lazy to think.

The counter-insurgency war ended in June, and it is now the end of June, and the Slavic summer festival is approaching.

It is a good thing that the war can end at this point in time.

Those who left the manor house immediately declared the peace promised by the Conquerors of Ross when they returned home. People's panic has disappeared a lot. When the people knew that they could plunder the population wealth of the five estates that followed Vadim's rebellion, they scrambled to start a partition operation.

After all, they were all neighbors living in the Lake District. They hurriedly forced the woman whose husband and son had died to join their manor.

For a while, those manor houses were tossed and furious. Within three days, the manor houses were demolished, including the private houses because the wooden beams were coveted and demolished.

The once bustling farms became quiet as if they had experienced soldiers. They were abandoned, only the people fleeing aimlessly with a small amount of belongings.

Although it was not the autumn harvest, the faces of the people in the manor were filled with the joy of the harvest.

The post-war situation was so wonderful, but anyone who didn't follow Vadim to turn over Rose's manor received material rewards.

Of course, White Tree Manor benefits the most, and the amount of acres owned by the Calf and Angler Manor directly doubles.

The manor houses are busy with their own summer festival. They have to make traditional rituals on the summer solstice to pray for a good harvest this year.

Their time is very rushed, and even this year's summer festival will not be grand.

In fact, this is not the case. Just outside the wall under construction in Novgorod, on the Volkhov River, a batch of fir, pine and flowers sawn into roughly the same specifications are quickly stacking into a wooden tower.

The wooden tower will be turned into a torch. The most common feature of the Ross, Balmerks, Ostala, Mellaren, Corvins, and Slavs is the worship of flames.

Fire is a symbol of Odin's power, the **** of fire among the tribes of Finland, and the incarnation of the Slavic king Peron.

People will sing and dance in front of the fire tower, throw sacrifices at the fire tower, and complete various rituals.

The Pine Needle Manor was turned into powder and was pushed to the White Tree Manor on the Volkhov River to become the new core of the Ilmen Lake District. She is Novgorod, and the military and civilian population living and staying here is close to 10,000.

There are big boats moored on the river, and the fishermen are working on the lake.

The walls, towers, governor's house, the "Ross Dumas" of the district council, new granaries, and warehouses are all under construction.

The builders were mostly local Slavs, and almost all of them were men and women in the White Tree Manor, who built the city of Novgorod under the leadership of Medvedt.

Rurik asked his subordinates to provide some help, such as logging work, but did nothing else.

Because the army was resting for a few days, the flag teams began to drill again.

In the past wars, the Russ lost some soldiers. The casualties all appeared in the final chaos, and even entering the farm and killing them became street fighting. Some Rus soldiers died in a sneak attack.

There were 20 soldiers killed in the entire army, but as many as 50 wounded. The organized and experienced army wiped out 10,000 enemies with a small loss! However, not many people think this is glorious, and beheading the enemy of the coward to the defenseless is not a commendable record.

The dead are cremated, their swords will be delivered to their children, the children of the dead will continue to be raised by the prince, and the widows will inherit the wealth of the deceased husband.

As for the wounded, regular cleaning of the wound with spirits is more effective and safer than plant ash. The threat of sepsis disappeared, and their bodies recovered quickly, which in the eyes of the local Slavs was simply a blessing from the gods.

It was the Romans who formulated a calendar that everyone learned from, but the calendar was not revised due to the decline of the empire.

Both the Nordic world and the Slavic world follow the old Julian calendar. June 28th is also the summer solstice day of all ethnic groups. This day is the day of sacrifice to the sun and fire to pray for a good harvest.

This year is clearly the beginning of a new era for White Tree Manor, and the vast number of people in the manor are still looking forward to a major event.

On a peaceful night, in a spacious house, the old man Ligus solemnly requested Rurik for a wedding.

"Svetlana has become your wife in accordance with Ross etiquette. As long as there is another Slavic wedding, everyone will be happy."

Rigus didn't need to say much anymore, and his father and brother were also present, including Svetlana, who was sitting sideways with her braided hair like a wreath.

"Then hold the wedding according to your etiquette. What should I do..."

Svetlana blushed immediately, even though she already liked sticking to Rurik and crooked.

The son-in-law agreed unconditionally, Rigus immediately refreshed, and then looked at the look of old Otto's expectation, "I will let my daughter marry Rose gracefully."

Regarding the Karelian crusade, there is no rush for the time being. There are also a squadron that surveys the fields and sends a squadron to Britain to ask for food tribute from King Enred. Many matters can be carried out after the summer.

The Slavic wedding of Duke Rurik and his wife should be held on the night of the fire festival in the summer solstice.

Since he claimed to be willing to marry in Slavic etiquette, Rurik listened and respected, he changed into a traditional Slavic patterned linen long shirt and Slavic felt mixed leather boots on his feet. His golden ponytail was put down, and his loose hair was wrapped around his head with a leather rope.

His blonde hair is as smooth as a woman, with deep eyes and a long golden beard, and a fair and freckled face, which also shows the handsomeness of a young man.

The extraordinary temperament is here. Even if he is dressed like a traditional Slav, he can speak Slavic fluently, but he is clearly different from the Slavs.

As for Svetlana, she put on a beautiful patterned gown, and the white tone emphasized the red pattern. This is a long gown with five colors of white, blue, red, yellow and brown. It is also the five kinds of cloth that the local Slavs can dye.

She wore a huge flower crown made of flowers and fine vines on her head. There were also several stained glass blocks hung on her head. Her neck was hung with a rare gold pendant with lapis lazuli.

Another necklace made of amber, glass beads, and rubies is even more special. These necklaces are all gifts from Rurik.

According to Slavic wedding rules, there is also the custom of giving tokens to each other, such as a pair of newlyweds giving each other necklaces.

They are purely agricultural people, and they have plenty of time to study strange rituals during the slack season.

Rurik has learned what the wedding will do, and he has learned some wonderful etiquette from his sister-in-law Lilia.

There are too many women around! Only this Svetlana is the most important thing. This is political marriage. Actively participating in the wedding ceremony and showing joy to all the Slavs present is to win over their emotions.

The girl is very beautiful, and the sharp chin of a traditional Slav woman is indeed better than the flat chin of a Viking woman in Lurik's aesthetics.

On the summer solstice, the orange evening, Svetlana, who had disappeared for most of the day, reappeared wearing a huge flower crown.

Accompanied by the flower girl, she slowly walked towards the burning fire tower with a smile.

After all, this is the Slavic wedding of Prince Ross. The messenger with the news rowed to various farms and ordered the owner of the manor to come to this event in person.

Could it be a conspiracy? Is it a "Hongmen Banquet" again? They have benefited and want to come to the Russ. There is no reason to use the swordsman. Since they are participating in the prince's wedding, it happens to be the wedding of the summer festival. Bring some gifts on this joyous day.

Fourteen manor owners gathered in White Tree Manor. They experienced the vastness of the Ross fleet anchored on the river, and were surprised by the towers under construction and other large buildings that were driving wooden piles. They are building a lot of construction, a strong fortress is being built, this is the city of Novgorod, who can rebel in the fortress city?

It was to show their sincerity to flatter, they rushed to offer sacrifices. The so-called sacrifices are just some fresh fish and livestock, which were originally intended to be thrown into the flames to worship Peron, and now they have achieved the glory of Prince Rus.

It's good for them to come in person, and what Ruriq needs is a large group of powerful boyars to be his witnesses.

Rurik wore traditional Slavic attire and looked like a traditional Slavic youth.

Tens of thousands of people gathered on the riverside where the fire tower was burning. The fire light made everyone's faces flushed, and the anchored fleet was also shining brightly, echoing the splendid sunset.

After the war, the sunny weather for many consecutive days made people feel comfortable, and the beautiful sunset clearly heralded the good weather for many days in the future.

The male priests of the White Tree Manor covered their hairless heads with chalky mud, and their upper bodies were also pale.

This group of priests suddenly fainted for some reason, and then regained consciousness, and just in front of the fire tower announced that Peron had seen everything.

Rurik was already holding his wife's hand at this moment, and he noticed the Slavic chief priest whose head resembled a fat-headed fish.

The fat head fish announced in a long voice: "God said! Let the wedding begin!"

That's it? It's that simple?

Rurik also felt that they would have some lengthy prayers, not to mention that the local Slavs do not have their own words yet, and the ritual prayers are also just a formality...

In front of the two, a small bonfire ignited.

A couple jumped over the fire barefoot, which is the most important part of the wedding ceremony, except that the other ceremony is no longer important.

The locals believe that as long as they both cross it hand in hand, they will be blessed by Peron.

Arik watched with a smile, thinking that a few years ago, he and Peravina also had a "fire crossing ceremony", and obviously his brother's Slavic wedding was even more grand.

This is a Slavic wedding, although thousands of Varangians are present, it cannot be pure after all.

A rare occasion for gatherings at weddings, people who live boring lives always happily go to the wedding scene to participate in the carnival, and mix food and drink by the way.

The Vikings were booing, they yelled, and spontaneously beat their shields as if a ten thousand drums were rumbling, and the horn-bearers simply blew their trumpets.

"Let's go." Rurik looked sideways at his beloved wife.

"I am a little scared."

"It's just crossing the flames. Isn't this your tradition?"

"Well, you have to hold me tight, I'm afraid of burning my feet."

Rurik nodded and dragged Svetlana to two barefooted books. The two jumped almost at the same time, flying across the bonfire. At this moment, thousands of people cheered...

The most important ceremony ended in an extremely brisk way. The newlyweds received a fire trial, which represented that Prince Ross received the blessing of God Peron, and this marriage will also be peaceful and safe forever.

They were not scalded with their feet, the two of them flew directly over!

The old Ligus and his old wife burst into tears of joy, and the old couple were afraid that they would be scorched to their feet by the fire, and that would be unlucky.

The rest of the ceremony was no longer so exciting. When night fell, the fire tower by the river was full of people, and there were dancing crowds everywhere.

Rurik and Svetlana are well-deserved protagonists, but according to tradition, the woman should live in the man's house immediately after the wedding.

The Grand Ducal Palace in Novgorod under construction is too early to be completed!

In this way, the first ship of the Duchy of Ross, the Aphrora, is the residence of Rurik.

Although it was necessary to live on a boat in accordance with Slavic tradition, the girl who was so ecstatic that it was full of tears accepted it.

All the manor owners by the lake, the most powerful army in the Duchy of Ross, and the entire family of the people, tens of thousands of people are their own witnesses.

Svetlana felt that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, and she was blessed by God Peron to cross the fire smoothly. Do not! And the blessing of God Odin.

The two of them stayed in the captain's room under the bow of the Aphrola.

Svetlana lay flat on the leather blanket expectantly. She had folded her beautiful gown and removed all her jewels.

The moonlight and the light of the fire tower shone through the wooden porthole and shone on her fair body.

After the grand wedding under the eyes of millions of people, according to tradition, she must immediately become a real woman and become a queen.

Rurik looked at her and was immediately moved.

"Finally... today. Hurry up." She urged with a smile.

"Well, I have nothing to say now. Lanna, have you thought about the child's name?"

"Woo, you decide."

"Oleg, just call Oleg."

She clutched half of her face and sneered: "What if it's a daughter?"

"It's called Oleg."

"They are all good names..." She didn't say much, just relaxed her body quietly.

Finally endured the strange suffering, hugged her husband tightly, and the great prince Rurik tightly...

The next morning, the morning fog had cleared, and most of the people who had a night of partying were still sleeping.

A group of people still gathered on the riverside, a group of Slavs led by Rigus, who wanted to witness the fruits of their marriage.

There are only two newlyweds on this big ship, and others have no right to interfere in what they do.

Svetlana stood on the deck with Rurik's arms. Her legs were a little weak, and Rurik acted like a bear last night, but she couldn't stop it.

The two went down the rope ladder to the boat. Only in this process, Rigus was satisfied that she became a woman.

This is a ceremony more important than a grand wedding! This is another kind of covenant. Rigus has tears in his eyes because his daughter is already a queen. His lifelong plan to meet the Ross people is now completely successful, and the eldest son has also become a governor, and the manor has become a city. There is no regret in this life.

Even if it was a political marriage, Svetlana's beauty, obedience, and sudden bravery, Rurik couldn't put it down in his eyes.

Only Carlotta, obviously he is his woman, but...

"This is fate. I'm Duchess Ostara, I..." Carlotta stroked her belly, sighing, even a little frightened. "Is it possible that I can't do it? I shouldn't! No, I have to..."

No, wait for the fire tower to turn into warm embers and wait for the manor life to get on track.

Carlotta privately met Liu Rick on the grounds of having a secret matter to discuss, but this is also a meaningful secret meeting.

Carlotta is satisfied for the time being, but Rurik also knows that this woman who is one year older than herself will never let it go without asking for Ostara's heir.

This was a secret meeting in the empty lower deck of the Aphrora. The so-called "meeting" had ended. Carlotta panted and said quietly, "Is Svetlana that beautiful? It doesn't matter, you don't need to explain, you are a prince, you now have seventeen women. I think there will be more in the future."

Rurik let out a long sigh of relief: "This is my destiny."

"Yes. It's your destiny. There is almost no second man with your privileges."

"Just referring to the many wives and concubines?"

"Exactly."

"Hey." Rurik stared at Carlotta's smirking face: "You never want to have only one boy. It just so happens that I have something to tell you."

"What is it."

"Soon, I will invite your sister Ella, she will be there soon."

"Ah? You, you want to be with her? You are such a man."

"So what? When she is old, if she takes the initiative like you, I have no objection anyway. But I want to give her a task."

"Please be a good person!"

"Are you scolding me? I'm afraid she will never listen to your sister's persuasion when that happens." Rurik shook his head, "I will send a boat to pick her up, as well as my ten maids."

"Ah? Are you going to be with so many people! You..." Carlotta flushed, "You are the Bull of April!"

"If that's a good thing. Carlotta, don't be surprised. They are all wise men and proficient in calculation. Your sister does not have the right to inheritance from the Principality of Ostara. I will let her be Hestoria (the recorder), and let her go now. Measure the area of Novgorod's farmland and write it down on a wooden board."

"What...what does it mean?" Carlotta tried to calm down, but she really didn't understand the importance of the book clerks to a kingdom.

"It means she will become a female saint in the Duchy of Ross, a wise man."

"Okay..." Carlotta stood up and hurriedly changed into her clothes: "Let's leave quickly, Lanna will be embarrassed if I know."

Embarrassing? Svetlana knows what it means when she learns what Carlotta's husband is going to say.

Living together for a long time, she really knew what her sister was looking for.

Lanna deliberately pretended to be confused, as if nothing happened. She knew that she really shouldn't care about these things. It was already July, and she was in awe when she looked at the atmosphere of the Ross camp.

The soldiers of the army are sharpening their knives again, including the men from their family's White Tree Manor. It is clear that the expedition to the Karelians in the north is about to begin. After all, without this rebellion, the Ross army had already conquered Karelia.

Probably, so...

But in fact, it's not.

Rurik solemnly announced one thing: the Russian army will receive oats at the end of July ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and will conduct a thorough investigation of the fields. As for the war to conquer the Karelians, it will be in August.

People who were looking forward to the war were surprised.

This does not mean that the Ross army will be free for close to a month.

The army must participate in the construction of the Novgorod Wall, fish for food, and military drills.

He even organized an assault reconnaissance team to conduct an armed expedition to the northern part of Ladoga Lake to conduct a close survey of the Karelian situation.

No one is really leisurely, if there is, it is the old Otto.

The old guy revealed an amazing suggestion to Rurik: "This warm place is really nice. I want to take your mother here to provide for the elderly, and then bring Velika to help you raise your eldest daughter... "

Although strange, Rurik had no objection. Has the old leader who opened up the overall expansion of the Russ finally selected Novgorod as his home? Fortunately, Otto's majesty will shock the entire Novgorod.
