Chapter 46: Rite of Passage
Time flew by, and that evening Olaf and Nala personally led Evan to the hall, this time not to be judged in the hall like last time.
Tonight's meeting was the first gathering of all the clans after Count Rolf was injured, and it was also the first time that the other tribe appeared in a formal setting after receiving the Hild, which also indicated that they were accepted and sheltered by Count Rolf, and like the original people, they became legitimate subjects in the county's territory.
Evan, Leaf, and Haakon were all brought in by their respective parents for a coming-of-age ceremony tonight and an armband to be given.
When they come! The hall was once again renovated and enlarged, and the crowd stood on all sides of the hall, leaving the middle empty, and on the steps there were three wooden chairs covered with animal skins, which were the seats of the Count of Rolf and his Lady Ainar, and in the whole tribe they had such rights, only the great prophet Moguu could be so honored.
"Shouldn't there be two chairs?
How can it be three?
Could it be that the ugly-looking but kind-hearted prophet the Great Moguu will come? ”
Evan thought to himself as he looked at the three chairs on the high platform.
While he was looking around and thinking about it, there was a sudden silence in the originally bustling hall, and the Count of Rolf was the first to come out of a side door in the hall, and the crowd standing in front of him automatically separated into a passageway, which was reserved for the counts and his guards to pass through.
Evan saw Rolf walking in the first place with a blank face, followed by an unusually ugly-looking bald head.
Looking at this bald strong man's face full of meat, a pair of triangular eyes, and his nose is not as straight as that of Europeans, but a little collapsed, coupled with his pockmarked face, it seems to Evan, who is used to seeing Europeans, that this person should be born with a vision, as the saying goes, how ugly and ugly it is.
The bald head was obviously about the same age as Rolf, and seeing him walk in front of Countess Ainar proved that his status was not low, and just as he was puzzled, Ole's whispering voice came from beside him.
"See that bald head?
He's the Count of Rolf who found an ally this time!
It's called Ramqvist!
I've heard he's on the other side of the island, a big lord!
He was also canonized by the king and officially became an earl. ”
Ole's words answered the doubts in Evan's mind at this time.
"So this is the ally who suddenly led the team to kill that day?
I don't know what benefits Rolf gave him?
Tell him to lead his people all the way to relieve the siege.
But fortunately, he was able to break the siege.
In this way, at least their loved ones avoided the fate of death. ”
Hearing the explanation of Ole beside him, Evan was also a little grateful to this person in his heart, but fortunately with his joining, he was able to avoid the death and injury of the clan and the fall of the clan.
As the three of the Earls sat down, this time the hall meeting officially began, mainly the Earl's butler Canute stood in the middle of the room and gave a special speech, first talking about Hilde's wanton attack on the powerful Count Rolf against the will of the gods, and other tedious things such as appeasing the newly accepted people!
[This year's raiding route has been determined again, and it is still the north of Russia!] 】
When the Count said this, the crowd burst into cheers.
Evan looked up and saw that the cheering crowd was mainly men, and the women's expressions were very casual, like the Russian line because there is not much oil and water, women are not qualified to participate, they stay at home with children!
"It's as cold as here!
And after years of endless looting, it has long been poor jingle.
I don't know what it means to go every year!
Is it just to go on a free tour? ”
Evan thought to himself when he heard this result, no matter what he thought in his heart, but now he was not qualified to raise objections, everything needed to wait until he was sixteen years old before it could be implemented slowly, so he suppressed the objections in his heart and calmly looked at the people in the field.
When the crowd was quiet, the last thing to do was the time for Evan, Leaf, Haakon, and the two teenagers of the New Arrival to receive the armbands.
They all came out of the crowd and knelt down on one knee in front of Rolf to show their allegiance, and he took the armband representing the adults of his tribe from the butler's hand, and put it on each of them on his wrist, and his wife Ainar kissed Evan and the others after the ceremony was completed.
Looking at Ainar's rosy lips, Evan's body instantly reacted a little, and there was a tendency to raise his head in the crotch! At this moment, Linda's shadow suddenly jumped in her mind.
He quickly drove out his dirty thoughts about Ainar, and when he looked up at the sexy in front of him again, his eyes had regained clarity, and he kept telling himself in his heart that this was the future mother-in-law in front of him! Don't mess around.
With his YY, the whole ceremony is over! Everyone has reached the time of revelry, and the reason why this time is so grand is also because of the new clansmen joining.
In the eyes of the Vikings, the clansmen represent the powerful, especially the Vikings, who are basically very good warriors, so the tribe of five thousand people represents at least three thousand combat power, which is not a small number, except for those few big lords and kings, Rolf's strength at this time is already considered to be in the upper middle.
From the beginning to the end of the meeting, the bald Earl Ramqvist did not say a word except for a few times when he whispered a few words with Count Rolf, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The carnival is on! Everyone gathered around the campfire and drank oat wine, and the roasted cattle, sheep and other prey on the fire were golden in color, and from time to time oil dripped, causing the flames to stir.
Evan and Ole stood by together, watching the celebratory crowd!
He didn't drink oat wine tonight, he hated this wine the last time he drank it, this junk wine is not good except for pricking his throat, not to mention the low degree, there is still a sour and astringent taste in the wine?
I don't want to drink it a second time after drinking it once, "Lao Tzu is not in good health and needs to drink medicine, as for drinking such unpleasant horse urine?" ”
Evan decided to wait for the opportunity to find a way to brew some liquor from his previous life, that is what men drink, and this junk wine should be left for others to play with!
The rescued children also appeared at this time to join in the carnival, and they gathered around the five Evan brothers, looking at them with adoration, chattering and saying words of thanks to each other, and strongly demanding that the five brothers take them to train with them in the future.
Looking at this group of little beans that they worked hard to protect, everyone felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.
But not long! Evan and they were defeated by this group of children, this group of children's pestering methods can really make people collapse, the most helpless Evan, only shamelessly pushed the little beans to his younger brother Russ, and arranged for Russ to supervise and organize this group of children to practice every day.
And made a promise on the spot that as long as they trained with Russ for a while, whoever performed well would be selected individually and given individual guidance from five people.
This decision was immediately supported by all the little beans, and they all said that they must train hard and strive to be the first child to be individually instructed.
Then Evan sent Russ to explain the tasks of the future training to everyone, which finally sent away the entanglement of the little beans, seeing Russ excitedly take everyone away, Evan let out a long breath, children are always so clingy at any time!
With the slow passage of time of the carnival, the Vikings' bold character was also revealed, and under the stimulation of alcohol, the hands and feet of the crowd in the field were not very honest, and a small number of men and women hugged each other, and there were various pictures that were inappropriate for children.
Although these clansmen have not yet developed to the point of direct and real fighting, the caress of skin kisses is unavoidable, and with the intimate contact between men and women, their movements are getting louder and louder, and their voices are becoming more and more harsh.
Evan saw that his body was a little unbearable here, and looked up at Ole and the others who were drunk, they already had a tendency to drink too much, looking at the wonderful performance in the field, his eyes were blank and he was smirking with a dull face!
Evan didn't care about these stupid hangers and turned away! It's safe in the clan now, let a few fools watch it live for themselves!
He doesn't have time to be here with his eyes, so what's the sin! There is no way to be free from sin, who called him only thirteen years old? Thinking about my pathetic crossing makes me feel powerless!
He decided to leave here and go to the beach alone, such a celebratory scene made him feel very aggrieved, and he also wanted to be a member of the joy, but ......!
"Hey!"
Evan shook his head and continued to walk like in the dark.
He left quietly alone, walking slowly on the soft sand in the dark night, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore.
He liked the feeling, it allowed him to relax his tense nerves, he could sober up and calm down, and he walked aimlessly and casually.
Just when he didn't think of anything in his mind and his whole heart relaxed, a deliberately muffled voice came from behind a rock not far ahead.
