At the same time, William, Duke of Normandy, was still in a difficult situation, and the army of Normandy began to doubt whether the Lord really supported their ambitions, and even spread rumors among the army that William had gone mad, that he was delusional about conquering a foreign land of the same religion, believing that the current situation was that even the Lord was against William's intention because he refused to give the Normans a good wind.

For this, the Duke of Normandy had to order the remains of the saint Valerie to be paraded through the streets, trying to inspire the army and the population to waver in their hearts.

At the same time, he pleaded desperately with the Lord to make the weather better, for he knew of the Viking invasion with the news that the spies who had followed the north wind to the south, and that as Harold marched north, the southern part of England was almost unfortified, but the winds were still raging, as strong as the Vikings had taken over the northern regions.

On the fifth day after the Vikings occupied York, Harald and Tosti agreed to exchange prisoners with the conquered English at Stamford Bridge and to receive tribute from the surrounding noble villagers in exchange for a guarantee of their safety.

At this time, York's castle, led by Lynch, who had been controlled by the Imperius curse, used illusions to turn his mage robe into the previous medieval blue leggings and long leather jacket, and Allen, who wore a hat covering his silver hair on his head, swaggered into the berserker leader who had made a name for himself in the Battle of Fuerford.

The guards at the door obviously didn't dare to embarrass the berserker leader, coupled with Allen's thin figure and age, as well as the clothes that looked like nobles, he didn't even dare to ask and let them pass, obviously the guard made up a reasonable explanation on his own, the berserker captain came to see the king with another English nobleman who wanted to surrender privately and keep power, and the beautifully carved wooden box that the attendants followed behind him struggled to hold is the best proof.

Before entering the hall, the leader of the berserkers took the initiative to step forward and explain a few words to a squire, and after the chief went in to deliver the news, after waiting for a while, the summons came from inside, and the two guards wearing chain mail and Viking butterfly helmets who were guarding the wooden door of the hall pushed open a wooden door in unison, wanting to make them more disciplined than other Vikings as Harald's guards, who had been trained in the Varangian Guard.

Stepping on the irregular stone floor, Eren followed the Berserker leader Lynch inside.

As the capital of the Viking invasion of England, the castle hall was once a meeting place for the nobles of Northern England, but it has now returned to the Vikings.

In the innermost part of the hall, on a throne temporarily made of wood, the King of Norway stopped fanning himself with his axe, straightened up, and as Lynch and Alan approached, the rough voice of the Viking Squire reverberated in the palace: "Before you is the descendant of the Blonde King Haralda, the son of the Eastern Norwegian chieftain Sigurso, the king of Norway, the son-in-law of Yaroslav I, Grand Duke of Kiev, the former head of the Varangian Guard of the Byzantine Empire, the slaughterer of the pirate land in the Mediterranean, Conqueror of York, rightful heir to the kingdom of the Vikings of England, Harald III the Ruthless, His Majesty Harald Hadrada!"

Such a long list of titles made Alan a little stunned, and he actually neglected this when he came over, and glanced at each other with the stunned Lynch, and the other party seemed to report the name of the wizard as if he was alert: "This is Baron Alan Harris." ”

Looking at the serious appearance of everyone in the hall waiting for Lynch to continue to speak, Alan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly told the berserker leader from the bottom of his heart about the title he had made up.

Lynch was visibly stunned for a moment before he suddenly added, "He is the master of Hogwarts Castle." ”

York's conqueror glanced at Alan with a puzzled look, Harald had been prepared to memorize almost all the names of castles in England before the attack, so he wondered why Lynch had brought such a little baron to himself who he didn't even know where his fief was, but out of trust in this henchman, he raised his chin lightly and motioned for him to continue.

"He came with enough sincerity to hope that he could be sheltered by His Majesty. Lynch memorized the lines a little mechanically, but no one doubted that in fact, since the conquest of York, the former mercenary king had changed his usual vulgar habits, and the etiquette requirements for his subordinates had suddenly become stricter.

The attendant holding the wooden box opened it, and the red gem added a warm touch to the dark, cold room, and the dazzling red light immediately attracted the attention of the Norwegian king.

"Your chest is full of real guys, too?" Had Ada couldn't help but stand up and asked, in fact, he was well-informed and had been a mercenary for most of his life, he was very familiar with these treasures, but he had never seen such hundreds of gems of similar size and purity at one time.

"Yes, there are real ones under my chest, a total of 333 pieces, these are the treasures that my family obtained by chance, according to the relevant legends left behind, these stones may have been blessed by Odin, and if this is true, the real Viking warrior will be personally blessed by Odin himself as long as he tries to put it on his forehead, and he will no longer be affected by fear in today's battle, and his morale will no longer be low from now on..." Alan boasted to the king about the false background of the enslavement of the gems, and he habitually used the word "maybe", and then continued: "Unfortunately, my family and I are obviously not Viking warriors, so I have always regretted that we have not had the privilege of witnessing such miracles, and since I heard that Your Majesty has crossed the sea to recover the Vikings in the capital of England, I feel that it is time to put these treasures in the hands of the warriors who really deserve them..."

"Oh, but your treasure is a rare treasure—" The King of Norway resisted the urge to take it with him at once, and he turned his head sideways, looking at the rubies in the box with an almost obsessive expression, and for a moment he felt dizzy. He clenched his hands into fists, barely restraining the desire to touch and play.

He closed his eyes and wanted to sober himself up with such splendid treasures, which were worth a lot of money, and with them, he would have more soldiers to recruit, and all of England and even more territories would eventually be his own.

Hadeada was thrilled, basking in the joy of his fantastical victory, but he apparently did not try the first idea of putting the gem on his forehead in public, for such a myth would be demoralizing to his men if he believed it to be a foolish attempt without any change.

Harald looked up at Allen, although it was a bit deliberate why a small baron would have such wealth and not be famous, but these real rubies made the king's tone obviously much more affectionate than just now, "So Baron Harris, what do you want from me? more fiefs or higher titles?"

"Your Majesty, I only hope to see that my choice is not wrong, and to confirm that my decision has not brought shame on the family. Alan bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, it's rude, let me try it first. "Berserker leader Lynch played a rivalry with Alan at his behest, and without Harald's consent, he just picked up a gem and put it on his forehead...

In the afternoon of the same day, hurried footsteps sounded outside York, and the Viking officers received urgent orders, and were summoned from all over the garrison, including the troops guarding the Viking warships on the banks of the Uss.

This made ordinary Viking soldiers wonder if there was some kind of emergency military situation.

But in contrast to their uncertain guesses, when the officers came out of the palace again, each of them had a red gem on his forehead, and in the sunlight the ruby sparkled. And the officers' faces were filled with pride and joy that they were warriors and would be blessed by Odin.

The reason why Alan did this, rather than just being undetected and letting the Muggles fight at will, as in the Battle of Fulford, was because he had to make sure that Harold could win the second war, and that the Vikings, who were already good at raiding, would not give up the battle and flee when the war was unfavorable.

Illusions and confusion spells could cause Muggles to ignore their injuries and the magic they see, but in this case, Alan decided that it would be safer to use the help of such external objects.

In fact, because history is supposed to go that way, when Alan and Penelope recovered the loot from Byr, the demon hunting spider from the bottomless abyss, during the fourth year Goblet of Fire, Eren had stopped Penelo's bold idea of using the gem of enslavement. He had told Penelope that no wizard had used this easy-to-find mind-controlling curiosity on a large scale since the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, and that he had realized that the wizard who had used the Gem of Slavery on a large scale in the Middle Ages was himself, Alan Harris himself, during his previous discussions with Rowena Ravenclaw.
