The Rise of Iceland

Chapter 18: War donation

Cowlesven sat still and said nothing. After everyone had been arguing for a long time, the three elders stood up and persuaded everyone to contribute money to the great cause of the Protestant Gospel. This time the leaders could only listen with anger, after all. Whether or not to pay, the elder's face still has to be given.

   When the three elders had finished speaking, Governor Calvin coughed slightly and stood up and looked down at the dozens of leaders in the hall.

   "War donations must be turned in!"

The icy voice made the leaders in the room feel humiliated and angry. Just when the atmosphere was solemn, Siegfors got up suddenly, touched the manicured beard on his lips, and said: "Our king is on the front line with the Holy Roman The mercenaries of the empire fight for life and death. As citizens of the Kingdom of Denmark, it is also our duty to pay the donation! However, the number set by the governor is quite large, and we may not be able to get it for a while! Can we pay half first? ? The rest will be paid next year?"

   Siegforth’s identity made Coleswen also have to take it seriously. He thought for a while and waved his hand: "You can discuss this issue with Jagran in private. Appropriate adjustments are also okay."

   Cowles' words sounded like the sounds of nature, which made most of the leaders breathe a sigh of relief.

Olaf watched with caution, and whispered secretly: Kaulsvin and Siegfors, the three elders, and Jagland were clearly acting together. I guess it wasn’t for the Danish side to ask for very few war donations, or else. There was no war donation at all. These people got together to act, fooling the more than 60 leaders on Iceland to take money.

   Although Olaf thinks that the methods of Kaulsvin and Siegfors are very simple, he has to admit that it is still very effective against Icelanders who are stiffened.

The leaders who originally wanted to reduce more than half of the exemption were shook by Sigfors and accepted the plan of taking half first and then handing in the next year. This made Olaf challenge Sigfors and Kaul. Sven increased his vigilance, thinking that these two men might be very cunning, with many conspiracies.

   Cowleswen pushed the problem to his men, and the cacophony of arguments began.

   Yagran was surrounded by many leaders to discuss the matter of paying the donation. After half a day of fierce talk, the leaders were finally allowed to pay half first, and the rest would be paid next summer, but an additional 10% interest was charged.

First of all, the situation is stronger than the people. Secondly, the Kingdom of Denmark has won successively in the two years of war. I heard that it has occupied several areas in northern Germany. The stronger the Kingdom of Denmark, the less the head of Iceland dare to confront the governor. After all, they cannot provoke the opponent. Denmark.

   When the leaders and Jagran signed the donation receipt and agreed on the payment date, one hour has passed, and it was almost the afternoon, and Coleswen ordered everyone to eat at the Governor's Mansion.

   So I waited for a long time, and everyone’s stomachs were filled with a portion of boiled venison and brown bread.

   After eating a full meal, Jagran announced the end of the first day of the court meeting and continued the next morning.

   Waiting until the next morning, Hadar and his party came to the meeting hall here. This is where the leaders of various regions reported to the governor on the deaths of population growth and penal cases.

   Two days in a row were things in other villages. Olaf was dizzy and nauseous. On the third morning, the leaders of the Northwest Territories were discussing the exile of a criminal who raped a woman.

After a while, the scene suddenly calmed down, then Siegforth’s son and daughter’s family, Weiss, the leader of the Comb Canyon area, stood up, walked in front of the Governor, pointed at Hadar and sneered, and said: "Your Excellency! Recently there have been some. A story of "The Herut Family" circulated in Iceland. I know it was written by Elder Amiye. I respect this story very much, but the person in the story is very bad! That Hagrid is a murderer! Up to now I am still at large on America! I strongly demand that Hagrid and Hadar who protected him be severely punished! Otherwise, the law of Iceland will lose its prestige! The rock of law in Thingvellir is still standing! The oath of our ancestors, we cannot forget!"

  Weiss’s words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, making everyone in the conference hall agitated.

   Hadar and the others had been wary of Sigforth for a long time, but he did not expect that he asked Weiss to say that this was something that Hadar had expected.

   Cowles text was silent, and the three Protestant elders were also silent.

Siegfors gave Jagland a wink, and Jagland stood up and agreed: "Yes! The stability of Iceland needs to maintain the sanctity of the law! I suggest that the Governor re-dispose of the case eight years ago and give Siegfors one. Confess!"

Kadir snorted coldly, and said with a throat: "Although Hagrid killed a man, he killed Little Siegforth in a duel. The duel is a matter of life and death! Let's not talk about this! Eight years ago, Hadar paid for it. Is it always true to give Sigforth 10,000 marks? Is this money not enough?"

"Of course not enough!" Siegfors stood up suddenly, his face was blue, his eyes were fierce, "If my son hadn't, he would develop a fleet under my training in eight years, and he would have earned two dollars now. More than ten thousand marks! Without Hadar's protection, Hagrid would not be able to run away eight years ago! Now Hadar is not there, Hadar will take his place instead of Hagrid! The punishment for Hadar eight years ago was too light! Please! The Governor re-judges the case!"

   While talking, Siegfors bowed to Cowlesvin to salute, and then cried out in tears about his pain of losing his son.

   The supporters of Siegforth and the supporters of Hadar started to argue.

In terms of the original Icelandic law, Hadar and Sigfors have been cleaned up, but Danish law still has to hold the murderer responsible. Hadar helped Hagrid escape, although he was not guilty. But it can also allow the governor to reconfirm that the governor had mishandled it eight years ago, which can further increase the punishment of Hadar.

   This treatment method was planned by Siegfors long ago. The purpose is to destroy the Hadar family and occupy Hadar's property. Revenge is only part of it, and the main purpose is for money and land.

Although Kaulsvin had agreed to help Siegfors before, the Hadar family has recently gained momentum, and he has just collected war donations. He felt that he could not force Hadar to be too ruthless, because there are already twenty leaders who have helped Hadar speak. More than one.

   This went beyond Coleswen's expectations, and it surprised Siegforth.

  Sigfors watched Hadar, Hoskuld, and Kadir talk freely, and he sank without rushing, knowing that they were here prepared.

   Seeing that the leaders of various places in Iceland were helping Hadar to speak nice things, and even the leaders who had promised to fight together before also spoke vaguely, which made Siegforth extremely annoyed.

The native Icelanders did not understand the benefits of public opinion propaganda. Although Sigfors was smart, he did not realize that the story of "Groot Family" would bring such great honor and benefits to Hadar because he was not exposed to research. Win so many leaders to help him.

   "Hadar's family "Sakya" can be so useful? It's really unexpected..."

Siegfors didn’t know. In fact, Hadar was able to get the help of more than twenty leaders, not just because of his family Sakya, but also partly because Hadar had already started before the appearance of the "Hroot Family". Visited the leader of some relationships.
