The Rise of Iceland

Chapter 20: Assassinate

     The Alting Conference in the whole region of Iceland is finally over.

   Start on Tuesday and end on Saturday. On Sunday morning, everyone said goodbye to Hoskurd and left.

Hadar took Olaf home with Kadir and Heine. All four of them rode large and small horses. Hadar's horse was also pulling a small two-wheeled cart, which was covered with hay. Bring a matchlock and five boxes of ammunition.

In addition to Olaf’s face of harmless humans and animals, the three adults also wore swords and weapons around their waists. They walked on the sparsely populated Icelandic dirt road and appeared arrogant. Many pedestrians and villagers living on the roadside looked in amazement and found that Without the characteristics of criminals wanted by the Government House, this time I feel relieved.

Leaving the Dagangnan District, which governs more than a dozen villages, the surrounding area has become more and more desolate. Kadir took off the reins, took off his hat and nodded, saying: "We should go east, Hadar, you have survived this winter. Why not live in Selfoss, my Grey Mountain Village welcomes you and your sister!"

   "I'll tell your sister when I go back, Karina may miss you too. If we don't say anything, we will go anytime, haha!" Hadar also took off his hat and gave it back, hehe laughed.

   "May God bless you! Good luck! Goodbye!"

   The two adults shook hands and said goodbye, Heine waved his hands to greet Olaf, then Kadir and Heine fought to the east, and Hadar and Olaf went west.

   Due to a light rain last night and fog this morning, Hadar and Olaf also did not go fast, but Olaf’s riding skills improved a lot on the way home this time, and he was able to control the old horses under him freely.

Iceland’s excellent thoroughbred horses are all in the stables of the governor, elders, and regional chiefs. Hadar has only two decent foals, but they also have some bloodlines for the horse. Even this kind of horse is worthwhile. It's not cheap.

In most families, there are short and sturdy breeds of cross-bred pony and cross-bred horse. It is convenient and cheaper to use for farming. The shoulder height is less than Olaf’s nose. According to Olaf’s estimate, it is one meter. At a height of three or four, he is now riding a smaller horse.

After walking east for a while, he saw a birch forest in front of him. Hadar pointed to the forest and said with a smile: "This is the forest in the northwest of Will Village. It was originally the forest used by our ancestors to build the house. His Muffwell."

Olaf knows that the White Hazel Grove Herut Village and the three surrounding villages are one area, and his father is the leader of this area, but now the leader’s rights are too restricted and he can’t control the affairs of Will Village at all. Tootou is Olin's father.

   glanced at the birch forest and couldn't see his head. Olaf felt that there were a few hundred acres. He shook his head and said, "This forest is worth a few hundred marks."

   "Yes!" Hadar smiled, "You study hard, and you will go to sea with me in a few years. In the future, we will have to pass it to you in the village of Herut to see if you can inherit the glory of Herut?"

Olaf and his father walked into the woods and laughed. Hadar pointed to the brown hairy bulge under a birch not far away, and said, “This is birch velvet, and it’s useless. It’s just scratching when you’re constipated. Drinking water can help ease your bowels. You drank it several times when you were a kid."

Olaf remembered that he would travel to Xinjiang in later generations. The birch velvet was fired for thousands of dollars a catty, saying that it was for making tea and drinking anti-cancer treatment. Although he did not believe it, he still calculated in his heart: there will be a chance to take the Nordic birch in the future. The velvets are all pulled to the sky, maybe they can sell for a good price...

   There was a sudden "Hey" not far away, and both Hadar and Olaf turned to look.

   But after seeing a birch with twisted branches more than twenty steps away, a hatchet flew out, and slashed towards Hadar's front door with a whiff of wind.

   Hadar often experienced life-and-death struggles during robbery at sea. In the crisis, he had no time to pull out his weapons to resist, and hurriedly leaned over to the left.

"Snapped!"

   Even though Hadar was hiding fast, the throwing axe was also fierce, and the handle of the axe still swept Hadar's right shoulder blade, making him fall down with a cry.

   After twisting the birch, a black-bearded man with big eyes and round face flashed out. He was sturdy in shape and ran quickly with a big ax in hand.

Olaf seldom even fights in his previous life. In this life, he has never seen fighting or killing for ten years. Although he has long known that this is a troubled world, he also knows that people die from wars and plagues every day. He thought he had done it long ago. I was ready to kill and be killed, but when I saw the thugs attacking his father, he rushed with a sullen expression on his face. Olaf's body suddenly lost consciousness, unable to move, trembling all over, excited in his heart, and his heartbeat sounded like a heartbeat. Boom like a drum.

  Ozul squatted in the birch forest early in the morning, and when Hadar came in with a blond boy riding in, he threw a throwing axe to kill Hadar.

   But Hadar was very responsive, but was knocked off the horse, Ozul rushed out with a shout, and the more than ten-pound axe in his hand slashed at Hadar, who had just gotten up on the ground with a long sword at his waist.

When Hadar rolled off his horse, he got up from the ground as soon as he turned his body. He drew his sword while looking at Olaf. He found that the black-bearded man who attacked him did not kill Olaf but struck him with an axe. Ann, while raising the sword in his hand, he scored a point on both legs.

   "Crack!"

The axe and the sword blade made a harsh sound and sparks. Hadar fell to the ground when his hands were weak. He was amazed, knowing that this somewhat familiar man might be stronger than himself, and his right shoulder The severe pain caused the lack of strength in the right arm, and it was obvious that he couldn't beat this person.

   Ozul was overjoyed when he saw an axe knocking Hadar down. He stepped on Hadar's abdomen and was about to chop it down.

   Hadar Yuguang caught a glimpse of his son Olaf not far away holding a branch and standing behind Ozul, hurriedly tossing and slashing at the back of Ozul's left instep with a sword.

Hadar’s screams covered all the fine sounds. Ozul resisted the pain in his feet and chopped off Hadar’s head with an axe, but after the light of his right eye he noticed a flash of dark shadow, and then his right ear was severely painful. Fell to the ground.

   Hadar struggled to lift the long sword that was almost broken by the axe and stabbed it towards Ozul's heart.

   "Huh!"

"Ding!"

Ozul was pierced to death with a sword by Hadar before he could react. Ozul’s breastbone was suddenly broken when he stabbed under the long sword, half of the short sword was stuck on him, and the top half was still held in Hadar’s hands. .

Hadar sat down, panting heavily, looking at Olaf standing aside with a look of surprise, and laughed: "Okay... OK! The descendants of Gerud are brave! Thanks to my Olaf, otherwise. Dad was killed by him!"

   Olaf swallowed, dropped the blood-stained tree branch that pierced Ozul’s ears, and sat down on the damp and cold ground.

It turned out that Olaf, who was frightened and silly, jumped off his horse after the first sound of the axe hitting the long sword. His mind was blank at the time, and his body also picked up a greasy long stick. Holding a birch branch with moss, he squeezed the branch that was as thick as his wrist and approached the attacker, and then pierced it out, hitting the attacker's side face, causing him to fall down, and then Hadar killed him. Attacker.

For Olaf, he was just trying to save himself and his father’s life, but if there is no experienced Hadar to cooperate, or Olaf’s strength is less, maybe the father and son will really be killed by Ozul. In the birch forest.

After resting for a while, the smell of blood in the air gradually became stronger. Seeing the blood flowing on the soil in front of him, Hadar spit out a thick sputum, then leaned into Ozul’s face to observe carefully, and then shook his head and muttered: "This man is a bit familiar, and I don't remember what his name is. But he seems to be from which district of Dagang? I have no grudges with him, so why kill me? Is it a robbery?"

   As he spoke, Hadar turned over on the dead body, UU reading www.uukanshu.com finally found a bag of silver and copper coins of shilling pennies, probably worth three or four marks, and nothing else.

   Olaf took a breath of air pressure to calm his mood, stood up and asked, "Do you know this person who attacked us?"

   "It seems a bit familiar, but I can't remember it. It seems that I saw it somewhere a long time ago, but I haven't said anything." Hadar shook his head and clapped his hands. "It should be he wanted to block the way."

   Olaf shook his head. After all, he is someone who has watched brain-burning movies and TV shows such as Gongdou and Murder, and he feels that things are not so simple.

   "Is it possible that he was the assassin sent by Siegfus to kill us? After all, Siegfus was ashamed at the court meeting. Not only did his plan fail, but he also lost face. He is very likely to hire a murderer!"

   Hadar rubbed his hands, frowning silently.

Olaf continued: "The only people walking along this road are from the villages of Harut, Will, and Grindaway, but among the three villages, who else will go out or come back this morning besides you? People squatting here, I think it's probably for us!"

"possible."

Hadar nodded and took Olaf to the side with a serious face, and said: "You ride to Will Village and call for someone. No matter who is the one who killed me, now we must notify the people in Will Village. According to Iceland’s law, after a life case is committed, the first person to meet must take the initiative to explain everything, and then they will act as witnesses to prove that I was attacked and killed the murderer, and finally send the murderer’s body to the governor’s house, please The Governor confirmed that he was right. If Siegfors hired the murderer to kill me, we can't spare him! In case someone robbed me, the murderer and his family could accompany us with some money!"

   Olaf hurriedly mounted his horse and quickly left the woods and hurried towards Will Village in the west.
