Chapter 7: The Return of the Hero

For the past seven days, Evan has taken good care of the injured Olaf! Although Olaf was treated in time, the wound was too deep, and in this era of lack of medical treatment, any wound was enough to kill.

Luckily, the treatment was timely, and Ivar had brought enough herbs with him, and he was able to heal the wound again, even if it was so! Olaf was still in a coma with a high fever for two days.

During the two days he was unconscious, Evan stayed awake all night guarding Olaf's side, he was really afraid that Olaf would die, as if he saw Nala's heartbroken eyes, as if he saw Russ and Mary crying sadly.

These two days he spent in torment, time seemed to stand still, it felt so long, fortunately Olaf had a strong physique, and he was in the prime of life, so he was lucky to wake up on the third day.

When he woke up, although he was still very weak, he saw Evan with dark circles under his eyes and a tired face, and a feeling of emotion haunted this strong man's heart.

He was proud of Nala's decision, and he was touched by the sincerity of the young man in front of him!

As Olaf awoke, the mood of the people on board was even higher, and everyone cheered loudly, gulping down jerky and drinking oat wine, and now they were victors!

Not only did the thirty or so of them discover a new hunting ground, but they also brought back a large amount of treasure without any death of their clansmen, which can be considered a feat, so they were happy, and they cheered loudly!

Looking at the excited crowd in front of him, Olaf, who had just woken up, was also like a miracle drug, and he was much more energetic, and Sam brought oatmeal bread, jam and water with a very good eye.

After serving Olaf to eat and drink and watch him continue to sleep, Evan did not participate in the celebration of his people, he silently came to the bow of the ship alone, looked out at the boundless sea, and kept thinking of the bloody scene of the three days.

For the past three days, he had been worried about Olaf's injuries and the killing that day because of his anger, when he was really carried away by anger.

In the past few days, the scenes of that day have appeared in front of me from time to time, those frightened eyes, those tearful little faces, those blood-stained ground, the trickling streams of blood, and the lives that have passed.

Ay! He didn't expect that he would slaughter the poor one day, and he really didn't think that the pictures in the TV of his previous life in the depths of his previous memories would now appear alive in front of his eyes, and he was still the starting point.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to erase this memory, but he couldn't do anything, these images were like devils, haunting his mind, clinging to him.

In this self-reproach and remorse, time passed slowly, and as time went on, today they can already be seen with the naked eye, the familiar land that nurtured them and nurtured them.

Seeing the familiar rocky mountains and the familiar white sand land in front of them, although this place is barren, they know that their people, their relatives, are here looking forward to the homecoming of their wandering son!

As the dragon head battleship sailed in, the clansmen who had already been on the shore shouted and ran, looking at the deep-sea monsters that appeared in front of them, the women screamed in horror, and the men rushed to the shore from everywhere with weapons, ready to kill people and protect their loved ones.

"Look! Seems to be Olaf? That's not Nikkor?

And how many of them are Evan and Ole?

Is it our people? They're back from the south!

The dragon head ship slowly sailed in, and the crowd that was originally defensive or panicked gradually calmed down, and various voices came out from time to time.

They saw the familiar people of the ship approaching, and everyone, young and old, raised their weapons and cheered.

Now Olaf and Evan are leading more than thirty tribesmen to the sea, heading south in search of the New World, is it no secret in the tribe? Seeing their return now, there was a brief commotion in the crowd.

In a short time, except for the Earl's men and horses, almost all the people of the clan rushed towards the temporary dock on the coast.

Just as everyone cheered excitedly for the returning wanderer, a slightly low figure turned and ran quickly towards the largest building in the tribe.

"Count! It wasn't Count Ramqvist who arrived.

It's Olaf and they're back.

They came back in a kind of battleship I'd never seen before. ”

Rolf, who was putting on his new clothes and holding his weapon, was about to go out to greet him, and when he heard the report of the butler who was shouting as soon as he entered the door, the expression on his face immediately appeared a little sluggish.

"Huh? Olaf?

Not Ramqvist?

Are you sure? ”

In the blink of an eye! Rolf, who came back to his senses, turned around, his eyes were as cold as substance, and asked Cnut, who rushed to the front and was sweating profusely, word by word!

"Sure! I saw it with my own eyes!

It's them back! Look at the draft of their boat.

It should be a big gain. ”

Kunu didn't dare to raise his head and look directly into Count Rolf's eyes at this time! He took a few steps back and hunched over, his head hanging deeply, and replied in a whisper.

Canute knew the mind of the Earl of Rolf, and with his understanding of the Earl, after hearing the news, there was a great possibility that the Count would break out and hurt people, and Canute didn't want to become a punching bag and suffer from unwarranted disasters!

"Alright, you can step back first!

Tell the guards to assemble.

It seems that today may be a bloody day. ”

Rolf did not show anger, as Canute had guessed, but made arrangements for him very blandly.

However, when he heard such words, he looked up at the Earl, who had a flat face, as if he had nothing to do, and saw the majesty that had not appeared in the Count for several years due to physical and psychological reasons, and Canut's eyes could not help but light up.

But his eyes brightened and dimmed faster, for although the Earl now had the same majesty as before, it was not the same as it had been a few years ago.

For Canut, who is familiar with the Earl, the current Count of Rolf looks like an old black bear, although the majesty is still the same, but he is no longer as majestic as he used to be.

Evan and the others didn't know about this conversation in the hall, and now they were being greeted like heroes by countless people, especially as they carried baskets of treasure out of the cabin, and the heat of cheer overshadowed the waves.

Evan saw Nala with tears in his eyes in the crowd, Russ who kept swaying his hands excitedly, Mary who had grown up and showed a little beauty, and saw the strange mature figure, the eyes were red and he bit his lower lip Skalley, he turned his head to look around again, but he didn't see Linda's figure, which couldn't help but make him feel a little regretful in his heart.

Evan and the others did not stay long, and the tribesmen kindly helped the warriors who went to sea to carry their harvest, and surrounded them into the "hall" of the tall and majestic building.

In the history of the Vikings, the tribesmen who went out to raid had to report the situation and harvest of the trip to the lord as soon as possible, and waited for the reward and gift from the earl.

However, they did not obey the Count's will this time, and such people would have been punished according to the previous situation.

The hall was still dim, although a lot of candles were lit, but it was still not as bright as the outside, and at this moment, countless clansmen who were qualified to enter the hall flocked in, and the originally empty and tall building seemed crowded and cramped at this moment.

The crowd automatically gathered around the hall, and in the open space in the middle were placed several large baskets of treasures and armor, and more than thirty clansmen stood behind the treasures in three rows.

Since Olaf was injured and had been carried home at the moment, he was not in the crowd, so this was the looting gang led by Evan.

Looking up at the large amount of treasure in front of them, Evan was at peace with them, and they did not think that the Count would cut off their heads at such a time.

Not only will they not look at their heads, but they will be rewarded, after all, they have a good harvest, and most importantly, they have found a new pasture that they have never found before, and where it is really full of wealth as described by the bard.

Although they did not go further this time because of the limitation of numbers, and did not see the rich land, they had plundered so much from a small village, and it was not difficult for them to imagine how great the wealth would be in a larger town.

As all the clansmen gathered, the small door in the hall opened, and the majestic Count and Lady Ainar of Rolf appeared.

The originally noisy crowd fell silent instantly, and the clansmen on both sides of the small gate consciously gave way for the Earl and his wife and their guards to pass through.
