052. Berserk Sword Orlando
West Iceland Leadership Conference.
During this time, it is the New Year of the Bright World of the South.
Icelanders have their own calendar, called the Winter Calendar.
But after the Illuminati and Viking polytheism entered, it became two kinds of chronology.
The Odin calendar and the light calendar.
Today is the Year of Light, January 4, 1322.
Five days ago, people in West Iceland had rushed to meet under a waterfall to communicate.
Little Ali also went with his uncle, and along the way he saw a large volcano.
The volcano, called Fta Volcano, erupted 30 years ago and wiped out 80% of West Iceland's life.
So along the way, little Ali saw idols such as altars, crosses, Odin, Icelandic elves, etc.
They are all memorials of the time when people prayed for divine help.
The dense fog that followed the eruption moved south, and for a long time, the north of Scotland suffered greatly.
The crops were harvested on a large scale, so the Scots were forced to invade the English.
William's expedition to the long legs was largely supported by the local nobility, precisely because North Scotland was in a great crisis and needed to be replenished by external conquests.
On this day, all the most famous figures in West Iceland arrived at the foot of Stu Falls.
Stu Falls has geothermal heat, and the spring water is not cold, it resembles a hot spring.
Long-term immersion has a miraculous effect and can prevent people from developing mild diseases.
Since the Dark Ages, it has been the sacred place of West Iceland, where all major matters have been adjudicated.
Two of West Iceland's biggest leaders, Poxen and Frachy, are embraced by those around them.
Little Arlie hid beside his uncle.
He was only five years old, but his physical development was similar to that of a child of seven or eight years old.
In Iceland, a child is considered an adult when he is 10 years old.
Because of the harsh environmental climate, they don't have a childhood.
When you become an adult, you are ready to get married and have offspring, and work hard to fish.
Birth, work, childbirth, death, many Icelanders have only these experiences in their lives.
For the first time, Arri the Younger saw the leader of Frach.
Frachi has tattoos all over his body, even on both cheeks of his face.
The tattoos are all Viking totems, and the mouth is a mouthful of rotten teeth.
In contrast, if you don't count the beard, Poxon's face is as clean as a piece of paper, and his teeth are neat and white.
Just looking at his appearance, Poxon looks like a noble lord, and Wallach is about the same as a peasant.
The two are about the same age, about 30.
The crowd met in the open air.
At this time, the hot smoke from the waterfall disperses the cold air around the waterfall and controls the temperature to about 10 degrees.
For Icelanders, who were born in the bitter cold, they don't feel cold at all.
There were even people who were shirtless and shouted that it was really comfortable.
The congress will be held for three days, and some controversial cases will also be dealt with in these three days.
For example, someone robbed someone of their crops.
Someone slept with someone's wife.
Iceland's laws are very imperfect, learn more from the Viking tradition, and minor sins are severe, but sparsely populated Iceland cannot do without labor, so many sins are directly hit by burning your skin with a hot iron, indicating that you are a criminal.
Little Ali saw a butcher sleeping with someone's wife, held down to death, and then a blacksmith prepared a soldering iron ready to burn the left side of his face.
Uncle Upu covered little Arri's eyes with his hand, but little Arri opened them and watched with wide eyes.
After having purple pupils, he became very bold.
After talking to her mother, she kept herself hidden
Little Arry didn't know what the consequences would be, but after that day, he never showed it in front of others again.
He found that as long as he didn't have mood swings, he wouldn't surface.
He slowly grasped this strange power.
The purple pupils gave him a mysterious feeling that was difficult to describe.
One day, when the slave girl was in the barn and accidentally knocked over the bowl containing the milk, his eyes suddenly saw the slowing motion of the milk falling.
After that, the surrounding things, in Xiao Ali's eyes, seemed to be a beat slower.
This made him more responsive.
When Bran absorbed the power of the white dragon, Charlemagne inherited his father's bloodline, and when he was in his mother's womb, he was displaced and almost miscarried several times.
Later, he grew up in the harsh environment of Iceland, and under the self-protection and tempering of his bloodline, he was able to show the power of a dragon at such a young age.
Enter the realm that countless warriors want to achieve, but they can't reach in their lifetime - domineering and pupil eyes!
But he is not his father's domineering, but the same martial arts domineering as the big bear.
However, his body is too weak, and it takes a lot of practice, and his body grows to the age of eighteen, and it is only possible to master this form when it is fully developed.
Now the domineering spirit of martial arts has brought Xiao Ali a huge effect of courage.
Watching killing is like watching killing chickens.
……
When the iron was about to fall, the blacksmith suddenly stopped.
And said to everyone, "This is too much, I refuse." ”
A mere blacksmith would dare to do this!
The butcher was stunned, and both sides looked at the blacksmith who had left his hands off.
"Who are you? I've never seen you before, what about the blacksmith who specialized in law enforcement?" A small leader spoke.
The blacksmith did not understand Icelandic and replied in Scottish.
"The trial just now was not fair enough, the butcher did not know that the woman had a husband, and he had pleaded guilty, so he should be treated leniently."
Before the forgiveness, the blacksmith took the soldering iron and was not afraid at all.
Scottish is also the official language of West Iceland and is understood by most people.
"What's your name?"
"Orlando. Balian, from France...... Scotland. ”
Orlando wears freeman attire and speaks Scottish.
If there is a surname, it must be a nobleman.
After a while, it became clear to everyone whether this man had come to Iceland of his own free will, or whether he had come with a priest, and was near a chapel to help people make a living by iron, and to repair the hooves of cattle, and was familiar with the blacksmith who was executed today.
But the blacksmith had fallen and injured himself a few days ago and asked Orlando to come to help.
Orlando thought it was a simple job, but he didn't expect to be an executioner, and he wasn't happy to do it now.
Behind him was an Icelandic apprentice, carrying a bag of iron-striking tools and a sword.
"Since you have become a executioner, you must carry it out, or you will be judged."
There was a small Viking leader who supported Fladch and said, this is not Scotland, and the Scottish aristocracy is a bird?
But Orlando then picked up the cross on his chest and kissed it, "I'm not going to kill at will." ”
It was not convenient for the locals to deal with the freedmen and nobles who were sheltered by the priests, so they were executed by another person.
Orlando wanted to stop for a moment, but he thought of his tragic death of his wife, who had died because of his reckless help, and as soon as he thought of this, he stepped aside and never spoke again.
At this moment, a Scottish priest came to the corner and patted Orlando on the shoulder.
"We should respect the laws of the Icelanders, and when they believe in our Lord, we will teach them the mercy and love of God, so that your wife and children will go to heaven because of your good deeds."
Five years ago, fifteen-year-old Orlando, an apprentice Frankish blacksmith, married a gentle and beautiful girl who was a year older than herself.
He is the master's daughter, and in addition to work, the two are tired of being together every day.
A year later, Master died, but this year, he had a child with his wife.
He worked harder, and another year passed.
A Frankish northern baron found him and said, "You have my blood in you, go with me, and within three years the whole of North Francia will know your name." ”
This baron is known as the strongest knight in Northern France, and was once the palace guard of the French Emperor Bilon An.
This was the time for the Franks to intervene in the battle for the North.
Many aristocrats went north to fight for their careers.
His father's two heirs died at the hands of the Black Prince of the North.
The father did not want the title to be taken back, so he found the illegitimate son born to the daughter of a merchant whom he had abandoned.
Hearing that it can be noble, far from being comparable to a blacksmith, Orlando took his wife and children to the north.
He assiduously studied everything related to the nobility.
Arithmetic, horsemanship, swordsmanship, law.
The art of the merchant and the three techniques of the noble, he mastered the fire of being able to govern the territory in a very short time.
Because he wants his wife and children to live happily ever after in the future.
As long as a person has something that he wants to protect, he will exert close to 100% power.
Another year later, his father, who taught himself martial arts, died at the hands of the Black Prince of the North, and he became the little baron of the north of the Franks.
People call themselves the lucky Orlando.
This barony was in the Normandy region, near the coast, and was a wealthy nation with a population of more than 3,000.
But his illegitimate son, who suddenly inherited the family business, aroused the suspicion of the surrounding nobles, who designed Orlando.
Involve him in a peasant rebellion, and then say that he is treasonous.
When Orlando finally discovers that the peasant who had been sheltered by himself and had turned to correct himself in the court of nobles was actually a knight under the other nobles, he laughed wildly in the court.
His wife and children were suddenly killed after he was arrested.
It is not known who the murderer is.
He was pardoned after voluntarily surrendering his domain and going north to fight against England.
The day before departure, Orlando was alone, lightly armed and fast, put on a cloak, caught two suspected nobles, tortured them to get the exact truth, killed the two, and then went north to avenge his father.
Since then, there has been no lucky knight, but one more, the Frankish knight Orlando, known as the "Crazy Sword".
He once competed with the Black Prince.
It was a chance encounter, he dared to take a few light cavalry, and met the hundred-man infantry team of England, which was led by the Black Prince.
Taking advantage of the deepening of the night, he led people to rush, and after injuring more than a dozen people in England, he retreated safely.
He thought that if he died, he could go to see his wife and children, so he was not afraid.
The young dignitary, in just a few years, the father died, the family was broken, the wife died and the son died, and Orlando became numb.
He killed more and more people in the north, but his heart was not at peace, and his pain became more and more painful.
Later, he joined William's cavalry support team in Scotland and was responsible for intelligence investigation.
During one operation, he became acquainted with several Scottish military clergymen and re-engaged with the gospel of the Lord.
He began to repent, broke away from the Frankish ranks, and went to a cathedral in Scotland.
The abbot of the church told him, "You are young and strong, you are useful, and you should do something more meaningful." “
"What is meaningful? He asked. ”
"Let the pagans understand that God loves them, and that is the greatest merit."
The priest said that every time a heathen is given the correct faith, his sin of murder and the sins of his deceased relatives can be alleviated.
So he came to West Iceland with the priests.
He is a blacksmith on one side and a bodyguard who guards the faith.
In a land like West Iceland, where there are good mountains, good waters, and so boring, he doesn't have to kill people anymore, and his heart is gradually calming down.
At this time, a few people from East Iceland saw Orlando and whispered in private.
"This is the Scottish knight you were talking about? It doesn't look good. ”
"Yes, it's him, don't despise him, when we went to destroy the Church of Light in West Iceland before, it was this person who stopped him, his swordsmanship is really good, three or five people are not opponents together, the sword is in his hand, like a snake and agile."
Several Vikings were outside the church when they came across Orlando and their hands and feet were slashed.
But Orlando had mercy and didn't hurt the killer and let him go.
Since then, his name has also reached the ears of some Vikings.
The Vikings from East Iceland were the Kingdom of Norway.
The Kingdom of Norway supports East Iceland and wants to reach into West Iceland.
However, West Iceland has always had the support of the Scottish aristocracy.
Therefore, the issue of conversion in West Iceland is also a confrontation between the Scottish and Norwegian aristocracy.
Of course, the height of this barren place has not risen enough for the two kings to make a move.
On the Scottish side, it was the aristocracy of North Scotland who led the support.
On the Norwegian side, there were also several lords who controlled trade rights in the North Sea.
Orlando leaned in the corner, ignoring the eyes of others, he had no ambition now, maybe in a few years, he would find a wife, wife and children hot kangtou, in the cold north, spend the rest of his life.
He inadvertently caught a glimpse of little Arri.
Little Arrie also looked at Orlando.
Orlando wondered, if her child hadn't died? It's almost that old.
He suddenly wandered, reminiscing about the best years of his life
"If I hadn't coveted power, she wouldn't have died......"
"This person seems to be very powerful?"
Little Ali felt a feeling, then turned his face away and continued to watch the execution.
In Xiao Ali's world, his uncle is the strongest, and the three of them are not opponents together.
The execution was just an appetizer, and after that came some development plans in West Iceland.
For example, which road is blocked by ice and snow and needs to be maintained and opened.
Wild beasts in any forest should be rounded up carefully.
And how much grain will be stored this year to meet the unexpected needs.
The leadership system in West Iceland is where twenty leaders, big and small, discuss decisions together.
Although Freitik attended, he had no sense of belonging to the land, he just wanted to occupy it and then make his fortune and fight back to Bavaria from Iceland.
He had lost so much time, he had left Denmark for Scotland, then to Iceland, and after being injured, he had a serious illness, and for a long time he had no energy to think about anything else, and now he was lame in one leg.
If you don't hurry up, you might really die of old age.
At this time, he felt a few unkind glances, which came from Fras's men.
The last time, Frederick had a confrontation with these people, and without saying much, he severely injured them, beating them with a blue nose and swollen face.
Freitrick continued to provoke the conflict between Poxen and Frach, and the two local leaders became so hostile to this day, and he played a great role in it.
On this day, the most important conversion was not discussed.
Not the next day.
The leaders of the two sides took advantage of the two days of obstruction and kept canvassing for votes to divide the votes on the third day of voting.
Twenty leaders, it is possible to have a ten-to-ten situation, and at that time, it depends on whose sword is faster.
In the past two days, Xiao Ali has not left his uncle and uncle.
The mother was worried that she would come too, but she was wearing a full-length cloak and couldn't see her face clearly.
It was a cold-proof attire, somewhat like the Abbasids of the East, covering the woman's full-body burqa.
In the past two days, Little Arry also met several Irishmen.
They are from Southern Ireland, and the family crest is particularly strange, so little Arri is on the lookout.
They used three bows and arrows as a pattern, and the three arrows were hooked together to form a circle.
In the middle, there is also a cross that is necessary for the lord of the Cult of Light, as well as some small patterns that symbolize good luck.
Little Arry secretly asked Uncle Upu, and after inquiring, he asked about the origin of this group of people.
It turned out to be a shepherd from Southern Ireland, or a new earl.
These men were sent by Durham.
As the first Southern Irish shepherd to send an emissary to Iceland in two hundred years, his new family crest, the three-arrow cross.
For the first time in the eyes of Icelanders.
