"Now that we're friends, we should have a few drinks in the evening!"

Although Tang Ping and the others did not take the wine with them at the dock at that time, they made some fruit wine from some other fruits after they went to the island.

It's a little worse than wine, but it's still very popular in this age of scarcity.

The ten jars of wine brought up at dinner received cheers from the Vikings.

The Vikings, who had been crushed by force during the day, thought that they could find a place in the wine field, and took out all the wine they treasured.

As a result, in terms of alcohol consumption, they are still not the opponents of the Tang warriors.

There is no way, now Lao Cui and his group are following Tang Ping in Datang, and they basically drink 52-degree modern wine.

The alcohol content of this fruit wine and the inferior Viking wines was the same to them as a drink.

The Viking children all took the opportunity to come over and drink some fruit wine, and their faces were all red.

When they heard that Tang Ping was from thousands of miles away, they asked Tang Ping to tell them a story.

The Vikings were very fond of telling and making up stories, and their stories were always very magical and exaggerated, about someone who killed a wild boar the size of a house; A housewife milked 1,000 cows in one day.

The logic of the Vikings was this: the merit worth describing is not what has been done, but what has been able to be done.

Tang Ping was surrounded by a group of children, thought for a while and said, "I'll tell you a mythical story about the Vikings!" ”

Hearing Tang Ping say this, all the children hurriedly sat down and pricked up their ears.

"Thor, you know, right?"

"Yes!" The children pointed to Thor who was drinking red-faced.

"It's not this Thor, it's Thor in Asgard, he's the god of thunder in Asgard, who wields the power of thunder and lightning. However, due to his youth and recklessness, Thor loses the royal bearing, patience, and kindness! ”

Then he was exiled by his father, Odin, to our land......

Tang Ping added fuel to the story of Thor in Marvel and told it to these children.

Not only the children, but also the women of the Karl clan and some young people listened attentively.

Norse mythology has been passed down orally through poetry since BC, so everyone probably knows Asgard and Odin, but they have never heard of such a story as Thor.

Although Marvel's movies don't have much substance, the individual heroism in them is still very popular here.

When they heard that Thor had picked up Thor's hammer again and gained Thor's power, everyone cheered.

"Don, your story is too often!"

"That's right, let's talk about one more!"

"What about Loki? Did Thor just let him go? ”

After a story was told, Tang Ping's status in the Karl clan was greatly improved, and people who were still awake came to surround him.

Thor sat up straight from the ground, looked at Tang Ping's side and asked suspiciously, "Who?" Who's calling my name? ”

Then it snapped and fell down!

Tang Ping was so entangled by the Vikings of the Karl clan that he had no choice but to retell all the stories he knew about Thor and Thor one after another.

When he got up the next day, Tang Ping walked out of the tent and saw several children holding wooden hammers made by himself, shouting that I am Thor, and then running around.

Thor rubbed his head and asked strangely, "Why do the children here say they're me?" ”

"Hahahaha!" Eriksson walked over at this time, his red beard shaking with his laughter.

"Thor, when will you go back to Asgard, you have to tell us in advance!" Patting Sol, who had become a drummer, he said to Tang Ping, "Don, Caldottir invites you over. ”

Tang Ping stretched his waist and nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

When I came to the small square where I had dinner yesterday, I found that Caldottir was instructing the young people of the clan in the art of fighting.

Only then did Tang Ping know that Caldotir could become the leader of the Karl clan, in addition to the fact that she was the daughter of the previous patriarch, it was also because she was the number one warrior in the clan.

Tang Ping saw the biceps muscles that were about the same thickness as his thighs that she exposed, so he believed this statement.

"Don!" Seeing Tang Ping coming, Caldottir asked the others to take a break, and then said: "Early this morning, I have already asked someone to send a letter to other tribes, and I believe that there will be a reply soon, and the tribal assembly may be held in advance." There will be tests for you, so you'd better be prepared! ”

Tang Ping shrugged: "I don't even know the content of the test, how can I prepare in advance?" ”

It is naturally good to be able to hold a tribal assembly in advance.

And since Cardottir can send someone to send a message to facilitate this matter, it also shows that she is very willing to support Tang Ping.

"Hehe, the test should be a test of your courage, wisdom and strength!" Caldottir smiled slyly and said, "But just like Thor, the god of thunder, no one knows what it is before the test comes. ”

"Okay!" Tang Ping stretched out his hands: "Then we can only cover it with water, and the soldiers will block it, anyway, we are ready to face all the tests." ”

"Water to cover the earth? Will the troops block? Don, your nation is indeed a cultured nation! ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Caldottir began to retrain the tribesmen, and Tang Ping returned to his tent.

I thought I could get here quickly and then go to the next place, but I didn't expect that these Vikings still had a certain social system.

However, as long as he passes their test at the tribal assembly, he will naturally be able to complete the task in one fell swoop.

After asking Saul, he didn't know what kind of test it would be, but he was very interested in the story that Tang Ping told yesterday.

I deeply regretted why I drank so much wine yesterday, so I didn't hear such a wonderful story, and pestered Tang Ping to ask him to tell it again.

After spending almost eight days in the Karl tribe, the Vikings who had gone out to deliver the message finally returned. Tang Ping and the others were having lunch with everyone when the Viking ran back and shouted, "Caldotir, everyone is willing to hold a tribal assembly in advance!" ”

Caldottir should have expected such a result a long time ago, but he was relatively calm, and just told Tang Ping that they should have a good rest today and set off early tomorrow morning.

The next day, they set off by boat, not a sailboat driven by Tang Ping, but the Vikings' own boat, which is quite similar to what they have seen in film and television dramas, the hull is very narrow, but it is not as gorgeous as in film and television dramas.

When a tribe has a problem even eating, it doesn't have that much time and energy to decorate.

They drove for a day in such a small boat, rested in the field for the night, continued their journey the next day, and traveled for most of the day, and then went ashore for a while, and finally arrived at the place where they had held the tribal assembly when it was dark.

"Caldotir, this is what you call an alien??"

"Yes, Elder Leff, he's Don, and he speaks very good Viking, so you can communicate directly."

"Hello, Elder Leff, I'm Don from the Tang Kingdom!" Tang Ping opened his mouth and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Wow, your Viking language makes me think you're a Viking!" Leif exclaimed in amazement, "I'm glad to meet you too." ”

They were brought into a large room with a lot of burning braziers, and it was supposed to be their Viking tribal assembly.

There were quite a few Vikings sitting on the chairs in front of him, and Elder Leif invited Tang Ping and Caldottir to sit down as well, before he spoke:

"I've heard Caldottir talk about you. To be honest, we are very tempted by your proposal. ”

Tang Ping knew that since he said so, there must be a but.

Sure enough, Elder Leif continued, "However, these are the last of our people, and we need to know that you do have the wisdom and strength to lead them to overthrow the reign of Wessex. ”

Here, this is to say that they have tested themselves, and looking at the expressions of the others, these Vikings should have been discussed before they came.

It stands to reason that Tang Ping is here to help them, but from the Vikings' point of view, if they listen to Tang Ping and accept his help, then they will give almost half of the young man to Tang Ping.

These young Vikings are the future and hope of the Viking clan, so whether to hand over the young people of their clan to Tang Ping is naturally a test for him.

"It just so happens that a group of cunning snow wolves appeared in the east this time, Don, we hope that you can defeat them to prove yourself."

"Elder Leff!" Before Tang Ping could speak, Caldottir said: "The snow wolf is the most cunning and ferocious animal on this continent, even the white bear is not their opponent, Tang They only have more than ten people, this test is a little too unfair." ”

Tang Ping was a little puzzled: "Is it fighting with the snow wolf pack?" ”

In his opinion, no matter how fierce and cunning a wolf is, how can it be an opponent of a heavily armed human?

"It's not all!" "This is the most difficult of all the trials, the Snow Wolf Trial, and those who participate in the trial can only bring one day's food, and then they have to start tracking down and killing enough snow wolves to complete the trial. ”

After listening to Caldottir's detailed explanation, Tang Ping understood that the difficulty of this trial is not to kill the snow wolf, but to survive, and then find the snow wolf.

"Caldottir, I know this trial is difficult, but isn't it difficult to overthrow Wessex's rule? We have been fighting with them for more than ten years, but we have never won, and our people are getting fewer and fewer! ”

"The first time I saw Don, I liked a young man like him, because although his eyes were cunning, they hid innocence, and I couldn't be wrong with people! I think he'll be able to finish the trial. ”

Tang Ping didn't believe in anything like looking at his own eyes, since there was such a trial, he wanted to try, but if he failed, he would think of another way.

"Elder Lef, I'd love to accept your trial, but you should know that I'm from out of town, and I'm too unfamiliar with the terrain here, so for the sake of fairness, can I get a few Vikings to join my team?"

Leif and some of the other clan leaders looked at each other, whispered again, and then nodded:

"Yes, but it's limited to three!"

"Deal!" Tang Ping agreed.

"Then please don and your people have a good rest tonight, and we will start the trial early tomorrow morning!!"

There was no red tape in this clan conference, but it seemed to be specially designed to test Tang Ping.

Tang Ping was not wrong in thinking, although these tribes were also connected, they all lived in their respective territories, and there was nothing to discuss too much.

This time it was really here to test him.

The Vikings here also want to leave this bitter cold land, but they must make sure that following Tang Ping away will not bring disaster to the future of the tribe.

Fortunately, the Vikings still knew that the guests were going to have a meal when they came.

In the evening, Tang Ping was invited to have a sumptuous dinner.

"Is the final trial to kill the wolf?" Lao Cui and the others listened to Tang Ping's explanation and were a little disdainful.

Many of the people here are also good hunters, and it seems to them that it is not easy to kill a few wolves.

"It's not that simple, Lao Cui, Caldottir said that the snow wolf pack is very large, the number can even reach sixty, and the size is extremely large."

"How big can a wolf be?" Lao Cui didn't understand.

Tang Ping thought about the wolf skin that Cardottir pointed out to him and said: "It is almost two meters long, and its weight should be close to seventy kilograms, and it is close to one meter high when lying on the ground, and it is extremely fast and very powerful. ”

Tang Ping didn't expect the wolf to be so big at first, the wolf in his impression was almost the size of a husky, and because it survived in the wild, it would be even thinner.

The giant wolf Fenrir in Norse mythology is estimated to be based on this snow wolf.

Lao Cui: They occasionally see wolves in China, and they have also shot them when they are hunting, but they have never seen such a big wolf.

"Hey, it's a pity I don't have many bullets, otherwise there are as many as one shot." Xue Rengui said with some regret.

"This time we only have bows and arrows and our long knives, and the most difficult thing is how to find their tracks in the field and keep up." Tang Ping said: "These wolves' developed sense of smell will definitely let them spot us first, and once they find out that we are numerous, they may flee." ”

"So let's think about what we can do to lure the wolf out!"

Tang Ping believed that in terms of combat effectiveness, no matter how large those wolves were, once they were up against the elite guards around him, they would not be opponents.

What's more, they also have a variety of attack methods such as bows and arrows, and the difficulty is how to deal with these cunning snow wolf packs.
