Bergen, Norway.

Olaf III's court resounded with doubts: "Why did you want to marry that infidel?" ”

"Your mother is the Queen of Denmark, even if you want to find the coalition forces, you can ask for help from Denmark."

It was Queen Ingrid who spoke.

This Danish noblewoman in her twenties, whose figure has inherited the rich nutrition of her ancestors in the Black Forest, looks full of temperament when she doubts the king.

Olaf III, who has blonde hair and fair skin, sees his queen as if he sees the shadow of his queen mother, and his mind comes to mind the dark childhood of his mother who has been firmly controlled by his mother before adulthood, barely breathing.

Call~

Olaf III exhaled.

The pair of eyes that looked like his mother looked at the Norwegian Sea outside the court, and his voice was a little tired: "My queen, do you know what it means to conquer a country in a year? ”

"Conquer a kingdom?"

Ingrid shook her head: "That place full of barbarian clans in Finland can also be called a country? ”

"I'll change the question." Olaf III said: "Ingrid, what armies do you think can travel through a northern country in winter? ”

"Do you think it's okay for Charlemagne, whom you admire?"

"Charlemagne will definitely do it."

Ingrid swore that "he has twelve Templars, tens of thousands of cavalry, and "

"But he didn't conquer the Saxons."

Olaf III interrupted his wife: "The Saxons live between the lower Rhine and the Elbe, and are as primitive and barbaric as the Finnish clans, and believe in traditional Germanic polytheism. ”

"It's the barbarian in your eyes, Charlemagne has launched many attacks in more than twenty years, and the total number of attacks is no less than 18, sometimes Charlemagne himself led the troops, sometimes he sent nobles to lead the army to attack, and paid a great price, but he never won a complete victory, and he failed to gain a foothold in the area inhabited by the Saxons."

Ingrid's thick, polished eyebrows furrowed.

Olaf III, as if he had not seen the discoloration of his wife's expression, continued: "This is only a Saxon. ”

"Finland is still in the far north, so to speak, the country at the end of the world."

"How dare Charlemagne lead his army into the quagmire of Finland in front of General Winter? He didn't dare! ”

"But Vondolph did."

Olaf III said with a smile: "Such a newly rising king of the north, do you think I shouldn't befriend?" Even in peacetime, to win the friendship of a strong man is just a marriage, and it is nothing at all. ”

I acknowledge his merits."

Ingrid frowned and said, "But I've heard from the Danish merchant that vondolf was just a kid in his early tens. ”

"He probably doesn't even understand adult things!"

"Even if there is a noble bloodline from the East, the Eastern Empire, which is thousands of miles away, cannot radiate its influence to the northern world, and this noble bloodline only has honor left, and there is no actual power to speak of."

"Who knows how he did those things"

"That's why you need to go there in person."

Olaf III interrupted his wife again.

Ingrid's eyes widened: "Me? ”

Olaf III: "Have you forgotten that we don't have a daughter. ”

Ingrid scoffed: "So you're blaming me? You can find your illegitimate daughter! ”

"I can't humble myself to ask a heretic!"

The last thing Ingrid could accept was the issue of heretical beliefs.

Denmark is the northern country closest to Western Europe.

For a better rule, the Queen of Denmark embraced Heavenly Father's Religion.

Under her influence, many descendants of the nobility converted to Heavenly Father.

Ingrid is a conservative believer who grew up under the education of nuns.

Even at the court, she wore a conservative black nun's dress.

Rumors of Vondolph's faith made a very bad impression on her.

Seeing his wife's attitude, Olaf III said in his heart that this was the reason why the queen was old, tall and bulging, but there was no heir between the two

He fully recognized the authority of the Archbishop of Bremen.

The bishops would follow the king on his way, and they took care of the religious affairs of the king while he dealt with the secular affairs of the region, and they also established the Church of the Father in Bergen.

But he did all this, just like his mother, to strengthen the royal power.

To this end, he created the guild system and wrote the provincial law, the Güratin Law, all for the purpose of rule, not to truly believe in the Father's religion.

But if he gave birth to the eldest son, under the influence of the devout queen, Bergen's future is afraid.

"If defeated by the Blonde King, there will be no future, my queen."

Olaf III sighed: "It is precisely because of the matter of faith that this Lord of Finland is the most suitable third party to intervene in the war between me and the King of the Blondes. ”

"My court has no suitable girls to marry."

"It's good that the position of the Lord of Finland is far away, and there is time to think of other ways."

"But before that, as a sign of sincerity, and because I have to guard against the fact that the King of the Golden Hair will not be able to escape, I want you to go to the Lord of Finland on my behalf, and beg him to send an army to our aid as soon as possible."

"For me, for the Norwegian strategy of our mother, Margrethe I."

Olaf III bowed his head and pleaded.

Ingrid looked at her familiar and strange husband, her lips were about to break, but her heart relented.

"I promised."

"But I don't know how to do it."

Olaf III secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to teach his wife: "I heard that Vondolph promised revenge on the Blonde King, and then took over the power of the Blood Axe King. ”

"He and the Blonde King are natural enemies, we just need to show sincerity."

"He's not very old, but because of that, he proves that he's amazingly talented."

"With his strategic talent that is not inferior to Charlemagne, he will definitely understand that it is most correct for the two sides to form an alliance to deal with the Blonde King together."

Listening to her husband's words, Ingrid became curious about her future son-in-law.

Although he is a pagan, he can accomplish feats that Charlemagne could not do.

How, exactly?

Such a young pagan hero, if only I could inspire him to the arms of the Father...... I might even become a female saint!

Sincerity.

The conservative Queen Xiu pulled out the silver cross from the ravine.

Touching the cross, I suddenly felt less repulsed by this long trip, and looked forward to it.

I wonder what such a young hero is doing now?

Vondolph knocking on his mother-in-law's door.

After a few knocks, the door opened, and a beautiful black-haired woman with a slender waist appeared in front of her.

There is a shallow smile on her beautiful face, and she is obviously in a very good mood.

Feng Dolph noticed that his wife was also wearing some light makeup, like a blooming flower.

The years have not made the face disappear, but have added a charm.

Feng Dolph couldn't help but look at it for a while.

Noticing her gaze, the black-haired lady subconsciously breathed slightly tighter, and raised her hand to smooth the folds of her neckline: "What about Slud?" ”

Feng Dolph walked into the room: "She suddenly had an inspiration, and she was still drawing a design. ”

In the king's bedroom, the young brunette mother-to-be fell asleep, muttering in her dreams: "I can't eat anymore"

"Do you want to wait for her?"

"Nope."

Vipsania shook her head and said as if unintentionally, "I didn't have to deal with affairs for a long time before, why do you suddenly want to have dinner together?" ”

"I'm afraid you'll be lonely, ma'am."

"Slude has been pregnant for more than half a year, and I haven't sat down with you for a while. ”

"And the new batch of students graduated, with their help, plus the rabbit telegraph, my influence can take root at the grassroots level, and I don't need to be so busy in the future."

Hearing the rabbit telegraph, it had been a long time, and the black-haired lady was still amazed.

Because of her questioning personality, she has never believed in any religion.

Daughter Slud's lifting is to inherit her, and she is more serious than her daughter, but she has always hidden it and won't say it.

She was so suspicious, but now she has converted to Io.

It's because I can feel the real magical power of my son-in-law.

It was a mystery that transcended identity, like a projection of power, casting a shadow over her face and amazing her.

The black-haired lady said, "Forget the Finns, I really don't know how you managed to get the Norwegian pirates in Kirkenes Harbor to obey their orders." ”

Vondolph gestured his fingers: "Break them up, as long as they leave the port of Kirkenes and disperse to various parts of the territory, the connections will be reorganized, and then the missionaries will come to the door to send warmth, say some nice things, and see that their lives have become better. No one will refuse a better life. ”

"The first step is not easy." The brunette lady said, "Drink something?" ”

"I brought wine."

Feng Dolph put the bottle on the table: "The first step is to drill two holes in the wall of someone else's house. ”

"The second step is to issue a notice of dilapidated housing."

"The third step is to dismantle it on the grounds of protecting their lives."

"That's the end of the process."

"Can be assigned a better brick house, just to move, will they refuse? The port of Kirkenes is not their homeland. ”

Feng Daofu introduced the topic to the black-haired lady without a trace: "These things, the lady should have seen a lot of them in the Eastern Empire, and she has a good experience, right?" ”

Vipsania sighed faintly: "I have been studying with my grandmother when I was a child, and I left Constantinople when I was a girl. ”

Feng Dolph smiled and said, "No, I'm interested in all things about the lady. ”

Mrs. Brunette hesitated for a moment.

Maybe it's because of the pressure of being suspicious and holding back too long.

Maybe it's because of the defenselessness of the son-in-law, but it's perfect as a chat partner.

Under Feng Dolph's guidance, she unconsciously opened the conversation.

Candlelight gathers on the dining table, presenting a warm and elegant dining atmosphere.

The circle of light shone on Vondolph's face, giving a hazy feeling, like an oil painting, and like a girl's dream of her husband

Vipsania stayed for a while before coming back to her senses, her heart suddenly quickened, and she quickly took a sip of wine.

When the dinner was over, she didn't take care of her emotions.

Vondolph seemed completely unaware of it, and complimented, "Madame is delicious." ”

"I mean, the lady's food is really delicious, because it's so delicious, it's a bit of a slip of the tongue."

Feng Daofu said and snorted: "After drinking some wine and eating a full meal, I suddenly felt a little sleepy, I closed my eyes and rested." ”

As soon as Vipsania reacted, he had closed his eyes, seemed to be sleeping very soundly, and made a faint snoring sound.

"I'm really not afraid of the cold at all, and I'm still a child."

Picked up the stall and covered Feng Daof, the corners of his lips just raised, and the words were stuck in his throat, unable to speak.

How could a child let Slude become an expectant mother so quickly

It's not just Slude, who got on the thief ship, only to find out that there are many.

Only then did I remember that the number of Valkyries in Norse mythology is very large.

How, exactly?

It may be that after drinking, Mrs. Brunette's curiosity has become extraordinarily hot.

He glanced down, then his gaze was sucked in, and he couldn't look away.

Feng Daofu suddenly murmured, "Mom."

Vipsania woke up, turned red and left.

All the way to the kitchen, covering his face with his hands, his vision was dark, but he unconsciously floated that scene.

Shaking her head vigorously, Mrs. Brunette began to wash the dishes.

Rushing~

The sound of the water drowned out the sound.

Feng Dolph quietly came behind her: "Ma'am." ”

Vipsania was startled, and the stress reaction was very great, as if dodging the assassination, and she jerked back.

The butt hits the edge of the cupboard, and the pool and curve fluctuate.

Vondolph asked, "Ma'am, scared you?" Don't worry, even if there are assassins, I will protect you. ”

Vipsania slowly calmed down in her heart and said with a smile: "Don't continue to rest? ”

"Good physical strength, just sleep for a while, I'll help you wash the dishes."

Vondolph rolled up his sleeves and prepared to work hard.

Washing the dishes and chatting, the spies sent to Norway sent a message through the rabbit.

Vondolph was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "There is good news, Olaf III sent to negotiate marriage is his wife, En, that is, my new mother-in-law. ”

Vipsania: "Really planning to marry? ”

"It's a good opportunity to get involved in Norway."

"Don't you continue to plough the Slavic clans?"

"The problems of the Slavs can only be slowly grinded with time."

Or come up with a good national policy. Unified Finland and promoted to a kingdom, the panel has undergone a major update, and the gameplay is a little different from the past, and it is generally more towards the king.

For example, when Finland was unified, two decision-making chains were unlocked.

"Decision: North Sea Overlord"

"Request: Unification of the five Nordic countries"

"Effect: Life expectancy +10 years, Navy Speed +25%, Vassal Opinion +30, Sea Trade Efficiency +30%, Nordic Control +30%"

"Decision-making: Strengthening the Bloodline"

"Requirements: Owning oneself or a child of the same clan, possessing genius, extraordinary charm, and the innate heritable traits of the three lineages of the Ama Sect"

"Effect: Gain the nickname Ancestor, +5 years of life expectancy, +40% chance of inheriting positive congenital traits, +400% chance of gaining new positive congenital traits."

The North Sea hegemon still needs to work hard.

But to strengthen the bloodline, now it's only the genius traits of the mother-in-law!

Feng Dolph looked at the black-haired lady's calm but undercurrent expression.

"Although I will have a new mother-in-law, you will always occupy an important place in my heart, ma'am."

He stretched out his arms and hugged the beautiful woman.

“！？”

The black-haired lady was startled for a moment, and heard a voice in her ear say, "Actually, ma'am, you don't want me to forget you, do you?" ”

"You should think that I coerced you."

“.”

"Ma'am, do you know how to sawn trees? Be sure to grasp the hacksaw with both hands first, grasp the handle with your right hand, and press the button with your thumb, so that you can stand firm, and then have a better output. ”

The black-haired lady's face gradually turned red.

"Madame has already grasped the point. The preparation is done, and then it's time to go sawing. ”

"First use the clamps, clamp hard, and then start the front and back push saw, this is a very difficult technical thing, you have to work with two people."

"Madam, although you don't say anything, your body learns quickly, and you deserve to be a real genius."

A month later.

Queen Xiu arrived at the ice-free port, and Vondolph also got the news she wanted.

"Earned the nickname: Bloodline Ancestor"

Carvin, I'll do it today
