Chapter 69: Meditation and Wine

The waves crash against the reef on the shore, surging up the tide one after another, and then crashing into a cloud of snow-white foam on the hard stones, scattering the sky is the most common "snow scene" in the wilderness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thor leaned against the rock, which was not wet by the water, and in his left hand held the barrel wine glass that Paladin had given him, containing a yellow, fragrant barley wine.

The wine glass was specially made by Paladin for Thor, with thirteen slender wooden strips, baked until slightly bent and then spliced, wrapped in four round iron hoops at the upper and lower ends, and then glued the handle with fish bleaching glue.

Ever since the dwarves dug out the first basket of iron ore in a large passage full of iron ore, the whole tribe has devoted itself to the refining of iron farming tools, and the first vertical iron-making furnace built under the direction of Paladin has been producing iron hoes and iron plows for the Agricultural Bureau day and night to cooperate with the implementation of the division of fields.

The goblet was the product of Paladin's leisure, but it was still a matter of thought, the impermeable wooden planks and the iron hoops that wrapped around the edges were tightly fitted, all in exchange for two casks of ale from Thor.

It all started with the pirate ship that Barria left behind, and after Toby escaped, Thor reorganized his men to search the vicinity of the cliff corner, but found no trace of him.

Later, it occurred to him that there was another pirate ship docked on the south shore that had not been checked, so he took someone to upload and search, and although Toby was also not found, he found a lot of food and fruit in the cabin.

With air-dried meat, a few stinky herring, some rotten fruit, and hard, chewy black bread, Thor found for the first time that life at sea was hard for these pirates, and the only thing that surprised him was five barrels of yellow, bubbling barley wine.

Paladin said that it must have been an ale made in the district of Worms-Oran, and that only the dwarves who lived there could have such a skill, and as he spoke, he sniffed it with his nose, until at last the old man blushed and begged Thor to give him a sip to taste it.

Thor heard Morey say that dwarves are greedy for good wine, but he didn't expect that they were all drunkards, and he really couldn't stand the greed of Paladin, Ingvar and others, and he didn't drink well anyway, so he waved his big hand and let the dwarves take away two barrels.

He remembered Paladin's stunned appearance, and the two barrels of ale made the old dwarf excitedly hug Thor's thighs and swear to the god of fire that he would make iron for Thors.

Since then, the sound of iron-making on the cliff corner has become day and night, and Thor is still worried about the old man's body, reminding him not to be brutal, rest is the most important, but he was rejected by Paladin:

"Striking iron is the happiest thing, and no matter how tired you feel, as long as you take a sip of sweet ale, the fatigue will disappear. ”

Later, the old dwarf specially made this wine glass for Thor, and in the center of the wine glass was also carved with a knife a lifelike flame mark, and the bottom was engraved with a symbol very similar to the English alphabet of Saul's previous life: bleazer, Ingvar told Thor that it means protection in the ancient dwarven language, and the whole symbol roughly means "pray for protection to the god of fire".

The dwarves had always been very serious about the Vulcan, and Thor suddenly felt the glass in his hand become much heavier.

Later, Blacktooth and Kratos accidentally tasted this wine, and Blacktooth cheekily took a barrel from Saul, and Kratos was even more straightforward, and said directly to Saul:

"Give me a bucket. ”

Thor rolled his eyes speechlessly, and finally gave him a barrel, he was not good at drinking, so he thought it was nothing, and when he tasted it himself, he regretted sending a few barrels of wine like cabbage.

This barley wine is sweet and mellow at the beginning, thick but not strong, and the taste melts in the mouth as if every drop actively melts into the tip of the tongue, but after only two sips, the wine is like boiling hot water in the abdomen, burning hot, rushing from the stomach to the back of the head, and the whole person is plunged into the strength of the spirit.

I don't know if I don't drink it, I really got hooked on this wine when I drank it, and now I have four barrels sent out, and I only have one barrel left, and I am reluctant to drink it, and Sol also wants to cry without tears.

Today, I really couldn't resist the temptation of the gluttonous worms in my stomach, so I poured half a cup and enjoyed it by the sea.

"Noam—how long are we going to sit like this?" Blacktooth's voice interrupted Thor's thoughts, calling him back to his eyes.

Looking up at the fifty warriors sitting cross-legged on the beach, the corners of Thor's mouth lifted slightly, and he said with a smile:

"Can't sit still?"

During this time, Thor also took great pains to train this small army of fifty people, although through hard training and the continuous telling of their experiences by successful madness, most of the soldiers were able to complete the madness, but the problem was that the longest time to maintain it was only a few minutes.

So the main direction of training came back to maintenance.

In order to keep the warriors in a state of madness, Thor has tried a lot of ways, and now the warriors are doing the new tricks he came up with.

"You have to relax, get rid of the distractions in your mind, not even the idea that I am dispelling them, only then can you communicate with the spirits of the ancestors, get the gaze of the ancestors, and then have true peace. ”

Sol remembered that there were many meditations in his previous life, and the method of meditation could communicate with nature and calm the mind, so he changed the concept slightly and moved it to the warriors to use, and the training program added a daily afternoon meditation to contemplate.

It's hard to say what the effect is, Sol doesn't have any talent for it, for example, Black Tooth, every time he meditates, he feels like he has been bitten by something, and he can't wait to jump up and scratch it vigorously.

This may have something to do with the fact that he hasn't been able to go berserk yet, and there are other warriors who are very obedient, and since Nome told them not to think about anything, then it is better to think of nothing, Pompeii is typical.

Now, after training for the sit-in, Pompey's time to maintain his frenzy has increased to nearly thirty minutes, far exceeding that of other fighters, which makes Thor sigh: Is this guy a combat genius?

Just as Thor was thinking about what he had and what he didn't have, a shout came from the distance:

"Brother Thor-Brother Thor-"

Thor turned his head to look, and the thin figure gradually became clear in his sight from far and near, it was Bertha, and she waved her hand and ran towards Thor quickly.

Motioning to Kratos to continue supervising the sit-in, Thor ran a few steps forward to meet the little girl, and asked her strangely, "What's wrong Bertha, why are you so flustered?"

The girl was holding her waist with her hands, and her mouth was snorting and panting, and Thor hurriedly patted her on the back, signaling that she didn't need to hurry.

"Dee, Sister Diana...... Looking for you...... She, she asked me to tell you...... The experiment was a success. ”

When Thor heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows were crooked, he raised the barrel wine glass in his hand and drank it all, and said with a loud laugh excitedly:

"That's wonderful—!" then took Bertha's little hand, turned and ran toward the corner.
