The higher you go, the higher the slope, the more spacious the longhouse becomes.

The status of the Vikings at the top is also significantly higher than that of the slaves or the poor below.

Because they have the best view of the farm, they can always see the enemy, and they can also welcome guests who are passing by at any time.

Their boldness towards their friends begins to manifest itself from this moment.

"Dragon Lady!"

The shouts of the people above are like reminders before war, and through this kind of action, the other party can feel valued.

The dragon girl also puffed up a long breath, put her hands on her mouth to surround her, gathered her voice, and shouted back.

These settlements are close to the sea and have quite a few fortifications.

If a new face breaks in, it may be shot down with a bow or an axe.

The dragon girl's shout also let the people around her know that it was her own person.

In every longhouse there is a barn, the stench of animal droppings, the hair that wafts out of the wind, and the annoying mosquitoes and flies.

You say they love cleanliness, and many of the customs are extremely barbaric, and the water for purification is shared with each other.

You say they're dirty, and they'll use all kinds of cleansing ingredients to the extreme.

A Viking warrior below, seeing the dragon maiden coming, shouted for his Irish slave to get out.

Then the slave brought out a cup of ale made from a horn cup.

This kind of bad wine is just saliva wine for the dragon girls, mixed with their foot odor and body odor.

They opened wells, but there was a mixture of man and beast, and the animals were thirsty, so they ran out of water and went to the lower wells.

She patted her water bag and drank it all in one gulp.

This one-tenth of the longhouses in this area belong to the dragon maiden.

He came to Ireland for almost two years and made seven voyages.

This is the inheritance she spelled out, the territory she shelters.

Two years ago, in this kind of place, she rode a horse to patrol and pass by, and she would not come down.

Now, she loves it to death.

Come a little higher, and her longhouse is here, side by side,

Now there are six male slaves, three female slaves, and a Viking veteran in the care,

There are also two orphans under the age of twelve, who have lost their parents, who live here and recognize her as "mother".

She sheltered the freedfolk boys, and when they were a little older, it was the sword in her hand.

On weekdays, when the dragon girl is not there, they each have their own division of labor.

The old soldier is the largest, followed by two teenagers, and the others are not people, of course, they can also make meritorious contributions to get a new identity.

It is also possible for Viking slaves, to become warriors, freedmen, and finally to become nobles.

When the dragon girl came, the smell of fishy air penetrated into the nostrils.

Due to its proximity to the sea, many pirates and merchants would come here.

Pirates don't necessarily want to grab things, they sometimes head north to catch large marine animals such as seals.

Seals' fur and fat, as well as offal pieces that can be used as medicine, are popular.

The Viking warrior who cares for the longhouse is an old man who buys one and is having the slaves break it down and take out the grease to make fuel.

"What do you think you've made of my place?"

"A place full of aromas, since you have come, you can have a good meal later."

The old man lost the ability to move quickly on his legs when he went to sea.

For the next forty years, he did not participate in a single robbery.

Now all it takes is a light rain, which can make him sweat coldly.

Even if the heart is to Odin and the heart is to Valhalla, there are many Vikings who can live a few more days in the world, and they can live a few more days.

His wife and children have long since left on their own, and he numbs his body with wine, until he squanders all his possessions.

When the dragon girl looked for the butler, she found this man without any problem, so she left him behind.

The dragon lady thinks differently than the other Vikings.

Other Vikings saw the old man as an old man who was afraid of death.

But in the eyes of the dragon maiden, he is the best candidate except for greedy cups, and is proficient in farming and many Viking clan dialects.

Also, he's lived a long time, maybe eighty or eighty-five now?

Although the old man himself can't remember clearly, he is indeed a man of the same era as Ragnar, or even earlier.

It's not just the battlefield that scares the enemy.

Trying to live and inheriting Odin's will is also a life worthy of praise.

The dragon girl has a Viking tradition that she doesn't understand, the history of the characters, as long as you ask the old man, you can generally get an answer,

Accuracy...... Up to half.

"We need some sets of furs, iron, and .......," the old man cried out to the dragon maiden, and had no money.

"You help my housekeeper to manage it like this, I should open your stomach to see if it turns into wine, all in it?"

"The last time you came, the longhouse was only half built, do you think that now these rooms are all spells cast by God Odin and built overnight?"

The dragon girl waved her hand to stop talking nonsense and pulled out a bag of broken gold.

The old man opened it and said, "The gold teeth with blood sticking, the gold leaf on the parchment scriptures, and the gold chains that have been burned by the fire, your bag is full of sins." ”

The old man remembered something, and said, "I almost forgot, you asked me to inquire about the war situation in England." ”

"The believers of God Odin are invincible, I just want to know, how are the Ansa sheep in our captivity?"

"Not so good."

"Huh?"

"You know, King Uba was so aggressive that even King Hafdan was captured by the English, and then King Uba was sent to Wessex and into the hands of Alfred.

Naturally, King Ragnar wanted to beg for help, but this boy fled in all directions, and could fly better than a sparrow.

King Ragnar had London knocked down,

But it was a land exchange, and the crown prince led people to break through Oakley County again and go towards Winchester.

Anyway, I've heard that the south of England is now like a dingo colony,

It's a vicious dog that can pee and poop on it, and it smells, and today it's mine, but tomorrow it could be yours. ”

"Isn't that a lot of people dead?" The dragon girl asked, her mood slightly complicated.

And he said, "Damn the Anza nobles, what about then?"

"King Ragnar changed his attack on Mercia, and he wanted to defeat the North Sea crusade and recapture King Hafdan, I heard this, the battle was good and bad, and the current English lord is even more ruthless than before!

The Lord's celebration they held was no longer easy to invade, and perhaps even a trap that was deliberately lured us to attack, and now in July, the Viking army was stuck in Cambridgeshire, Mercia, and could not go north,

It's halfway through this year, maybe until next year?"

Kent's War of Annihilation,

East Anglia Invasion,

Battle of Mercia Repton,

Battle of Portsmouth, Wessex,

Battle of Oakley, Wessex,

The Fall of Wessex London,

King of Wessex, west fleeing into naval battle,

Battle of Cambridge in Mercia,

Since 865, there have been eight wars with thousands of people.

The Hundred Wars are even more difficult to count.

The dragon lady didn't know what fate England would bring.

She looked into the distance and said nothing.

When will you be able to serve on the table and have the strength to fight with these nobles?

"You help me find more slaves and warriors."

"Why, you want to go to England too?"

"Hmm."

"Not good."

"Why?"

The old man glanced cautiously around and lowered his voice, "Although King Ragnar issued the Great Holy War Order, any Viking warrior can go to his men and join him to kill the enemy and spread Odin's might.

King Yinvar also ostensibly supported the Vikings on the island to go,

But it was different after Hafdan was captured, and during this time, did we send a lot of fighters? Not really. ”

"It's time for you to tell the story, old man."

"Give me wine, this gold is not enough, you can only buy livestock and daily necessities, you have more slaves to buy, not enough!"

"If your answer satisfies me, you will sleep in a barrel for three days."

"Very well, then let me tell you, Havedan coveted the land of Ireland, you know?"

"Isn't he the Lord of Denmark?"

"Who would dislike having a lot of land, and he and Sigurd's Lord of Denmark are also deceitful."

The dragon lady stared at the old man, who replied, "I'm not drunk yet, King Havedan was the 'King Horik' before,

After he grew old and decrepit, his young relatives began to be restless, and many wanted to become the lord of Denmark.

He first brought the Snake Eyes, and then the Snake Eyes were introduced to his brother Halfdan.

More than ten years ago (854 A.D.), I don't remember which year, in the final Danish Civil War, the king and his leaders died, and finally they were taken by force by the descendants of Ragnar.

They were Vikings from Sweden and Norway,

How could the Vikings in Denmark be convinced?

King Horic's kins were also wiped out, and one of the summer troops that attacked Wessex last year was named Guthrum, a descendant of King Horik's kin......"

What the old man said this time, the dragon girl didn't know whether it was accurate or not, but power can make people crazy, and relatives were killed, and she believed it very much.

Then he asked, "You mean that many people want King Havedan to die unexpectedly?"

The old man burped, but without a positive response, he began to beg for wine again.

"I believe you this time, I heard a Viking leader who is a generation younger than you say that when you were young, you were also a famous navigator and water adventurer, and you also participated in the invasion of Charlemagne's northern territory, maybe you have met this old king."

The old man's words made the dragon girl dispel her thoughts, but it did not discourage her fighting spirit, England is not easy to go, so she will go to the "Kingdom of Meath" in the south.

When the dragon girl left, she didn't notice that the old man's body was bent a little more, and there was some fog in his eyes.

His days are numbered.

His last son died during Hafdan's invasion of Denmark and the killing of his competitors.

His son protected Guthrum's brother and ended up at Valhalla......

For the next three days, he drank a lot of wine, but his spirits were getting better and better.

The dragon girl began to worry, and she vaguely guessed what this meant.

She was worried that she would not be able to find such a handy housekeeper,

Other people's stewards can herd sheep and hunt, manage accounts and kill,

But to her is nothing,

When it is critical, you can give a good information or story, which is what you need.

The old man drank without stopping, and told her, "In the future, you remember to tell me the results of this war." ”

Early in the morning of the fourth day, the old man never woke up.

Can an old man go to Valhalla?

The dragon maiden didn't know either, she had the body sent into the ship, pushed into the sea, and set it on fire herself, so that he could leave in the same way as a nobleman.

The fire rose in the middle of the sea until there was no trace of it.
