Chapter 65

The bravest man went out hunting but has not returned. Rumors abound in Roseburg.

Some people come up with ancient legends to express their most pessimistic speculations.

"Maybe Otto and those people fell under the world tree..."

This is not a purely pessimistic conjecture, because if the leader Otto leaves this world, who can be his successor? For this reason, the tribe had to compete for the leader again.

Even if the residents of Roseburg are from the same ancestors, the core personnel have multiplied into a behemoth of four thousand people.

According to the standards of this time and space, such a relatively united organization can burst out a very powerful force.

Because even a Frankish Duke, it is extremely difficult to gather a fighting force with as many as two thousand people.

Otto has been the leader for too long. His actions are indeed qualified, but he is old after all.

The young Rurik was called "Odin's Blessing", and he also showed many amazing behaviors. After all, he was just a child.

Many people simply believe that Rurik will naturally become the leader when he grows up, because that is what Odin is eager to see.

But the insightful people of the tribe don't think that if the leader Otto died outside, what kind of contribution a seven-year-old child can make to the management of a tribe.

There is a window period here. To ensure the stability of the tribe, the tribe must elect a new leader.

The time is approaching Hanukkah. Those people have not yet returned. The restless mood within Roseburg really made this winter unusual.

The young Rurik is also very worried. He is eager to show his fists. If he loses the asylum of his father in his childhood, all dreams are empty talk.

Since ancient times, in many countries, the powerful ministers did not intend to transfer power to the young masters.

What's more, the Ross tribe still pursues the older clan commune. There is no real blood relationship here, and the leader should be the "strongest".

Inside the warm priest's house, Rurik's heart became more impetuous.

Although he has memorized the contents of those wooden boards, in order to deepen his memory and relieve boredom, he would like to read more.

But now, he is more and more worried about Otto.

"Grandma, I heard some rumors, they said my father would die outside?"

Villa's heart is equally complicated: "I also heard those rumors. Boy, can you easily believe it?"

"No! I don't believe it. They are the strongest who went out. Maybe they got too many prey this time and it is impossible to return quickly."

"It's best for you to think this way. Alas... I'm really worried these days. If some good deeds are allowed to mess around, the whole Roseburg will become panic. Those allied merchants who live with us, I'm afraid They will be evacuated on a large scale next spring."

"What can I do then?! I'm actually very worried..." Rurik thought for a while, "It should be someone who is eyeing the position of the leader."

Villa was shocked, she couldn't think of this child.

She can only pretend to caress the child's forehead calmly: "Don't think things badly, I think of a good way."

"any solution?"

"It seems that I need to come out to organize some people in person. Maybe your father and others are already on the way back, we can't keep waiting foolishly, we should send someone to respond."

Villa not only has such thoughts, but also consciously has an obligation to calm the turmoil in Roseburg, especially the merchants who are staying stable.

The time has come to December 17th in the Julian calendar, and Otto and his party have gone too long.

Because there are no clocks, people use sunrise and sunset to determine the beginning and end of the day.

Only some people with astronomical knowledge can judge the time quite accurately by the position of certain stars in the sky and the position of the moon.

The sun has set, and it feels like the day is passing by.

The oil lamp in the long house of the priest was brightly lit, and Veria personally came forward, and she rushed fifty warriors to this house.

The people who come are all middle-aged and powerful young forces of the tribe, and they have also participated in many voyages to Sorgon.

These people are brave and must be Otto's **** supporters.

Long looking forward to studying in the chief priest's house, Rurik easily saw a familiar figure, his cousin Arik.

He told me that the child was just sitting on the animal skins, obediently listening to Veria giving orders to them.

Correct! Just give orders!

Villa is indeed the most appealing woman of the Ross tribe. She spoke to this group of brave and combative people in an old voice. They all stood honestly, without any whispering.

"I heard some rumors that the leader and others have been frozen to death. This is a fool's lie! Don't believe it!"

With this, Rurik saw the trembling in the eyes of many people. Obviously, many people not only know those words, so they also have strong doubts in their hearts.

"I called you here today to announce Odin's order to you. Just last night, in my sleep, my soul was brought to Asgard by the Valkyrie, and I stood at the thick stone gate of Valhalla. In addition, Odin told me that the brave people of the Ross people were on their way. They were delayed because of their excessive treasures. So Odin issued an order and asked us to organize some warriors to explore the north and find those people. To help them bring back a lot of treasures."

Sitting obediently, Rurik knew that these were Veria's own words. She relied on the Odin's beliefs of the tribe and said all her own opinions. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

This operation can be called a smart move, and the people who have been called are already eager to try it.

In the long room of the priest, many people have already issued a statement for the first time, so-called after a short period of preparation, when tomorrow dawns, they will set off on their own north.

Villa got very satisfied results, but she was not happy at all.

She is betting on her own reputation, but this bet is very worthwhile. Because if Otto really died on the plane, the alliance between the two would disappear.

An old man in his seventies, his life is coming to an end soon. Maybe Otto really died outside, which also heralded his end.

There is no Odinto dream at all, everything is Veria's speculation. She guessed that there were only two situations that the most, first, Otto and his party got lost, and second, they did gain a lot.

As for hundreds of people were frozen to death by ice and snow, although there is such a possibility, think about it carefully, if the snow and wind were really terrible, Fort Rose would have been destroyed long ago.

Passive waiting makes people more and more anxious to wait. Actively looking for it can dispel this anxiety.

The people who were summoned left the priest's long house. In a very short time, the news that the priest Veria had been guided by God in his dream also spread throughout Roseburg.

The deliberate release of the conspirator's remarks suddenly lost the market, and all the young warriors who began to fantasize that they had the opportunity to compete for the leadership position also dispelled their thoughts.

The vast number of residents all began to imagine how many treasures the leader brought back, and whether the husband who followed the leader had also gained a lot.

There are also those who have not gone. They are also imagining that even if they did not go, according to the tradition of the tribe, how much reward the leader would give to themselves.

Maybe a lot of deer were caught? Even getting a deer leg can make Hanukkah this year very interesting.
