The Rise of Iceland

Vol 2 Chapter 7: spring

     Hadar and others finished talking about the business in his long room, and Catlin also made dinner, it was fried lamb chops and boiled fox.

   The fox is a beast that Hudike shot in the wild the day before yesterday. He has no family. He eats at Hadar's house and gave it to Catlin.

  Wait until the afternoon of the next day, snow began to fall in the sky again.

   The snow fell for two days. When it was clear, Hadar and the others continued to lead the militiamen to go north for training, while cleaning up all the animals and wild people that could be seen in the wild.

   Time also passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was the end of February 1628.

The training for more than two months made the militia of Herut Manor almost completely reborn. Not only did they become stronger, but their eyes became fierce and vicious, because they killed more than fifty reindeer and two black bears in the past two months. Twenty-three love kismo hunters.

  Although the main force is the Icelandic Musketeers, the white slave spearmen have also seen blood. This kind of psychological transition and twenty field exercises have made them more and more like soldiers.

Although Hudik was still a little dissatisfied, Hadar was very happy. He felt that even in a tailwind, relying on the advantages of numbers and weapons to crush and kill the beasts and savages, this made the militia more and more confident. , Will be more brave in the future.

   The weather is getting warmer, and the ice and snow on the ground are melting and decreasing every day.

   When Olaf woke up today, he opened the window and looked up, and he saw that there was no ice or snow in the corners of the house and under the stone trees outside of the sun.

   Wenlan belonged to Canada at the intersection of the later United States and the east coast of Canada. The latitude here is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, and the temperature is similar.

   Although spring is approaching, the temperature is still around zero.

   After being bored in the long house for two months, Olaf took his younger brother and sister out to play after breakfast.

Hadar left with the militia team early in the morning today. They are no longer heading north today because the weather is getting warmer and the hunters have died too many. The Akismo tribe in the north has begun to merge and move on a large scale. Hadar They are now inconvenient to confront these savages head-on.

   Today, Yotte, Kadir and Heine are all staying in Hagerburg. Because the weather is getting warmer, they are going to continue to lead the white slaves and savage slaves in the camp to build the city of Herrut outside Hagerburg.

   Hadar and they went all the way south, and they all brought bottles and jars, ready to bring back sea water to boil sea salt for food.

Icelanders generally rely on purchasing salt in England. Sea salt and well salt are produced on the islands of England. Sometimes places near the sea will get their own water and boil salt for consumption. However, because Iceland has scarce trees and insufficient fuel, people who can cook salt are livestock. There are many wealthy businessmen from the grasslands. They rely on cow and horse dung as fuel to support the production of boiled salt, and they will also sell it on the island.

The salt that Hadar and the others brought to Vinland is almost finished. Hagrid and the others have been eating salt for seven years. Because Vinland has rich vegetation and sufficient fuel, they never waste gold and silver to buy salt, which is worthless. The labor force-slaves boil salt.

  The southeast of Wenlan is the place where the warm Atlantic current passes. Therefore, the sea does not freeze in all seasons. Hadar and the others went to the beach to fetch water, so they did not bring icebreaking tools, and they quickly reached the estuary along the Musk Ox River to the south.

   Then fetch water again and again, and finally return to the manor together.

   Olaf in Hagerburg took his younger brother and sister around and met Lixstrom, Halik, Solrak, Yiluki and others who came out in the same way.

   After two months of not seeing each other, everyone shook hands and embraced Olaf, and then they talked around Olaf.

   "Olav! You have gained weight and you have grown taller!" The red-haired Thom saw that Olaf, who had only his own eyebrows last year, was about to catch up with him in two months, and said in amazement.

The teenagers then realized that Olaf had become a taller category among teenagers. They remembered that Olaf was only 11 years old this year. Hadar, Hagrid, and Ulav were all rare giants, and then looked at Olav enviously. Raf.

   "Maybe Olaf, you will be as tall as your brother Ulav in two years. We will all look up to you except for the silly white bear Halek!"

   Solrak said with a smile, and everyone else was amazed.

   Olaf was about to speak and suddenly heard a few crisp whips from outside Hegerberg, followed by Icelandic mixed with Scottish language.

   "Idiot! Move quickly!"

   "It's the white slave urging the savage to work!" Tom blurted out. His father is now patrolling the construction site outside Haigburg. He felt that it must be the white slave that was so harsh on the savage in order to be active in front of his father.

   Olaf led the teenagers to the open door and looked out.

   The two young white slaves who watched the door hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop them, stumbling in Icelandic with a strange tone, and said, "Please don't go out, the second young master Olaf and the guys. The owner of the house has an order not to let the young and old leave the castle by themselves."

Olaf glanced at the two thin young white slaves. They were only eighteen or nine years old, and they seemed to have never seen the world. Seeing him walking with a group of Icelandic teenagers, his nose was sweating and his faces were freckled. Shaking too.

But they all kept their responsibilities in mind, and even if they bravely stood up to stop them, Olaf had a good impression of the two white slave boys, nodded, and said, "Let’s see how the slaves built the Heru. Special City, can you open a little door and let us see? I promise we won't go out!"

   Maybe Olaf's request was not excessive, maybe Olaf's tone was calm and approachable, and the two white slave boys gradually relaxed.

   The two looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and said: "Okay! Master Olaf, if you just look at the door, UU reading www.uukanshu.com I think we can't help but listen."

   After speaking, the two teenagers pulled the latch open, and slowly opened the wooden door on the left side by a gap, so that they could see the outside scenery.

   Olaf and the others stood at the door and looked out, and saw hundreds of huge logs piled on the downhill flat ground of Hagerburg, and there were more than 20 white slaves sitting on the wood and using saw blades to transform the wood.

On the east side of the timber is a pile of stones of various shapes. Dozens of yellow-faced savages are trying to push the stones on the small log under the supervision of a few white slaves with whips, and push out a log that is vacant behind one step away. Move to the front, and then push forward, so that with the power of the log rolling to reduce friction, tens of thousands of pounds of stone can be moved.

   Olaf counted and found that there were only a hundred savages slaves on the construction site, which was obviously rarer than the 200-odd people more than two months ago.

   "Why are there fewer savage slaves?" Olaf asked the two white slave boys next to him.

Seeing the young master’s question, a white slave boy with red hair hurriedly said: “I heard that this winter is colder than before, so many savages died from freezing and sickness. It seems that more than 30 slaves died in the cave, and there are more than 20 I'm sick and unable to work."

   Olaf looked at the skinny slaves who were all familiar with yellow skin, and felt sour. After thinking for a while, he said, "What are the symptoms of the patients?"

   The white slave boy shook his head and said, "I don't know. Everyone is afraid of being infected by the devil curse of the savages. No one dares to approach them."

Olaf knew that the white people of Obaro still believed that disease was curse and possessed by the devil, so many unconventional “treatment” methods similar to punishment appeared. He thought about it, and confronted the agreement on the construction site in the distance. He beckoned and shouted loudly.

   "Uncle Yotte! Uncle Yotte!"
