The Rise of Iceland

Vol 2 Chapter 2: Banquet

     Julian calendar noon on November 20, 1627

The largest wooden house in the Hadar Manor was filled with men and women. At the generous table, Hadar and Catlin were seated with Hagrid and Ulav beside them, and further out were Hudik, Hoskurd’s couple, Kadeer and his wife. The Yottes, Heines, Kalm, Kalhu, Thom and others, basically all the high-level families of Hadar Manor were seated, with Olaf and his siblings sitting on the outside.

An hour ago, Jotte greeted Hudik, Hagrid and others back to the manor. It didn’t take long for Hadar to come back. After everyone hugged and shook hands, they went into Hadar’s big wooden house and sat down, and then they drank and talked about their respective situations. .

  Katrin led the women to prepare a sumptuous lunch. They made grilled fish with kippers and fresh cod, boiled venison with radish and wine, as well as lamb’s head, lamb chops and lamb intestines, as well as parsnip soup.

   Everyone drank wine and ate food, and it was dusk after the meal was full.

Olaf also drank two glasses of wine. This is the first time he drank it. The taste is sour and sweet and astringent. The taste can only be said to be average, but the fruity aroma is really strong. He feels that the alcohol content of this wine is about the same as beer. It is also a little bit more but very limited.

   When the food was removed, Catlin made some milk grape pudding for everyone to eat. Everyone sat in the house and praised Catlin's craftsmanship, and then talked about everyone's development in Wenlan.

Mentioned the Sakya named "Hroot Family", Hagrid looked at Olaf in surprise and said, "Olav is too smart, I also heard Hudik say this Sakya, it is wonderful, if I were not the sea Ge himself might believe it too! Olaf, how does your little head know about the Far East?"

Olaf said without hesitation: "Since the ancestors of Herult possessed and manifested on me seven years ago, I have often dreamed of many things in the north and south, just like living in other regions, the powerful one in the Far East. Daming, India, and other places I saw it in my dreams, and I thought it might also be the revelation of our ancestors!"

All present here are Olaf’s relatives and Hadar’s confidantes. The women were also taken by Katrine to make clothes just now. The men have basically experienced the interception and rescue of Hadar by the guards, and they have seen Olaf beyond Ordinary people’s knowledge, Hadar, Hagrid, Ulav, etc., even witnessed the miracle of the ancestor showing the sacredness to Olaf seven and a half years ago. This made everyone believe in Olaf’s words and wondered at the same time. Inspiration.

"I think the scene Olaf saw is real. It may be that our ancestors let us go to East India to colonize in the future, but his old man first said that we should colonize Vinland. I think it is also based on Vinland. Go to the Far East!" Ulav said his own judgment after listening to everyone's discussion for a long time.

   "Uraf is right, and I think so too!" Hagrid knew that his elder nephew had a good head, so he agreed.

"Then think about it later! Hagrid, you have acquiesced to the epic story of our family. This legendary experience made you a living legend in Iceland. We were harmed by Sigforth and we will always go back for revenge. I feel that if we have weapons of war and horses, we may not be able to make Iceland independent again!"

   Hadar nodded, solemnly watching his brother speak earnestly.

Hagrid’s current foundation was all supported by his brother Hadar. In addition, when he was young, the brothers had very good relationships and had always been the masters of the house. So he nodded without thinking, “Brother, you’re right! I listen to you. We must get revenge back in Iceland! During the duel, it was obvious that Sigfors attacked me and was killed by me. I was innocent, but the Sigfors family kept insulting us! Humph! I want to take Sigfors. Killed, otherwise I feel aggrieved!"

   Olaf watched his father, uncle, and elder brother talk, and felt that the heroic aura and demeanor in them were getting stronger and stronger. This was unprecedented in seven years.

   "Does a person achieve a career or a career achieves a person? Or maybe a person achieves himself while achieving a career?" Olaf suddenly had many thoughts in his mind.

After a while, Hagrid looked at Hadar's serious request and said, "Brother! You don’t have my Hagerburg here. It’s warmer and safer there! I think you might as well move to my transfer corner. Right!"

Hadar thought for a while and said: "But we just planted a land in Deauville, I originally planned to cultivate five land in Deauville before winter, plant oats and wheat, and wait until next summer to harvest. Up."

"Dad! Planting this newly-developed land, even the area of ​​Wilgt can collect two or three thousand pounds of grain. Our transfer corner has enough food for everyone to eat next year. It is better to abandon this place and wait for the population. You can get it back if you have more!"

After reading Hadar, Ulav hesitated and said: "Our family should live together! And we have six to seven hundred people together. With more than one hundred Icelanders, we can also To recruit more white slaves from Scotland and Ireland, and capture more Indian and Ekismo slaves. Next summer, we will be able to double the number of slaves, and it will definitely become a large manor with a population of over 1,000 before the fall!"

   "Yes!" The scar on Hudick's face was also beating slightly, and he said excitedly, "Hadar, if we merge together, we can occupy the Bullhorn Peninsula in a few years!"

Hadar also looked at the drawings of Hudik and Hagrid just now, and learned that the southeastern peninsula in Wenlan was named Niujiao Peninsula because of its unique shape. He thought about it, and then looked at the brothers around him and found that everyone was already interested. It moved, so he nodded and said: "Okay! Before the weather has completely cooled down, let's organize people to leave by boat! The two boats are enough for the owner and livestock of our Hadar Manor to move!"

Hadar is better at thinking and listening to opinions than Hagrid ~www.novelmt.com~ As the eldest son of the family, he has received traditional Viking education from an early age. The skills of hunting, fishing, whaling, and planting, and more importantly, he has been working hard to be the leader of Herut Village of the White Hazel Forest, and he has been very successful.

Hagrid belongs to a severely partial subject. He only learned the craftsmanship of pirates. He is no weaker than any skilled hunter in hunting and whaling, but he is not interested in other aspects, so Hadar is actually very happy with the arrival of Hadar. .

   Hagrid and Ulav’s uncle and nephew have been discussing decisions and actions for more than seven years. As Ulav’s age has grown, Hagrid has gradually become under Ulav’s control.

   When Hadar came to Vinland, Hagrid felt that he could completely let go. From now on, he could let his brother do all the things that colonized Vinland. He only had to do the war and hunting well.

   Therefore, Hagrid was very happy to hear that his brother agreed to move to Haigberg, and he said on the spot that he would hand over the management of Haigberg to Hadar.

   The traditional idea of ​​Icelanders is that the elder brother must bear certain responsibilities before his brother gets married, so Hagrid will take responsibility for the murder of Hadar and compensate the huge amount of property.

  Similarly, the foundation that Hagrid now earns in Wenlan is derived from the money, manpower and ships that Hadar lent him. The brothers have a good relationship, and Hagrid is also a hero, so he has no idea of ​​occupying it.

Hagrid’s decision made everyone present feel logical, so Hadar nodded, and then ordered everyone to inform the freedmen of the manor that everyone should pack their things tonight, and leave Hadar Manor by boat early tomorrow morning. Hagerburg, the transit point at the southeast corner of Vinland.
