Chapter 47 Valkyrie 1
It's already the dead of winter. At this time, there are basically no animals out in the wild, and the snowy fields are quiet and picturesque.
Lawrence no longer ventures into the mountains and relies on the food stored by Andrew's family every day.
In addition to home teaching every day, I spend more time making wooden boxes and wooden wheels next to the fire, and cleaning the snow on the house at noon.
In the coastal areas of the Agama Mountains, the Vakiri who live near the ice sea are busy and busy.
A storm washed the carcass of a giant whale to the shore. The nearby Vakiri discovered the carcass of the giant whale and quickly went back to gather their companions.
When Andrew rode the Dome sheep through the seaside mountain road, what he saw was the beach stained red with blood, and more than half of the giant whale carcass was left.
Andrew's appearance quickly attracted the attention of the nearby Vakiri.
Several men with dirty hair, looking like beggars and tramps, stared at him carefully.
Andrew glanced at these low-level slaves quietly, and quickly rode out of the mountain forest on a Dome sheep.
When he rode the Dom sheep from the woods to the beach, nearby slaves and warriors began to walk towards him.
Andrew, who was alone, behaved very naturally when facing several barbarians around him who were obviously looking for trouble.
The two sides obviously want to go head-to-head, and then we'll have a good fight.
At this moment, the farmers on the giant whale's side who were dividing the meat noticed what was going on here, and soon a strong man ran over quickly.
"Andrew! My mighty friend! Seeing you rejoices me as much as discovering a giant whale!"
What ran over was a muscular man with messy, dull red hair that looked a little darkened due to long-term neglect.
His red hair was tied behind his head with a rope, while a mane-like beard stuck like steel needles around his cheeks and lips.
Even in this harsh winter, he still exposed his arms and long hairy calves below the knees, with only a pair of animal skin shoes on his feet.
When he came over, the Valkyries on both sides who were in the way were knocked to the ground by him.
When Andrew saw this man, a smile appeared on his strong face.
Andrew got off the back of the sheep and walked over to give this equally strong and burly man a hug.
After a hug that signified a good relationship, Andrew and the man parted ways.
"Red Beard, I want to borrow the boat here to go out and make some money."
Redbeard was very surprised by Andrew's decision and quickly said: "Go to my house and tell me that today is a good weather and we can get through this winter."
Andrew took a look at the corpse of the giant whale. The whale was at least ten meters long, with thick fat and meat and bones, enough to feed the Wakili people here.
Redbeard quickly took Andrew to a nearby village where the Vakiri lived, one kilometer away from the seaside.
The people here do not live in a world of ice and snow, but in woodland areas with slightly more fertile land where they can farm and raise animals.
Redbeard's home is a simple wooden house in the mountains and forests. In addition to a sleeping place for the family, there is also a livestock pen with sheep and pigs in it.
After entering the room, Red Beard brought a large wooden wine glass, picked up a wine bucket from under the table and started pouring wine.
"Andrew, if you came here yesterday, I would definitely reject you, but this morning I had the same idea as you!"
After Redbeard sat down, he frankly stated his plan.
Andrew picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said quickly: "When are you leaving?"
Redbeard said calmly: "The count took the soldiers from the territory to the south to rob. They took away the weapons and ships in the territory."
Andrew laughed at Redbeard's seriousness, "I don't want to hear this."
Redbeard continued: "I can think of a way for the people and the ship, but you must listen to me after you get on the ship!"
Red Beard looked directly at Andrew, needing a hundred percent affirmation.
Andrew nodded and responded seriously, "You are an expert in this area. I listen to you. When it comes to the distribution of treasure, I have to choose first."
Redbeard smiled and said, "Gods above, I agree to your request!"
Andrew came to see Redbeard because he believed in this man's ability. After discussing the general matter, it became casual.
"Why didn't the count take you with him when he went south?"
Redbeard raised his glass and said mockingly: "He can't trust me to hand over his back. The people left behind this time are landless slaves, and farmers like me who only have a small amount of land."
Andrew said: "When he goes to the South to rob wealth, he will definitely bring his cronies with him."
Redbeard said casually: "Originally, everyone was still worried about food and planned to rob your village. Now that we have giant whale meat, the children and women at home have something to eat."
Redbeard took down his ax from the wall next to him, "Men should go out and earn treasures! Complete God's trial!"
Andrew said softly: "When I came over, I found that the people in several towns on the road were much empty. I heard from Doug that the harvest in the Southern Kingdom this year was not good."
Red Beard showed a thoughtful look, and after a serious moment of ten seconds he said, "Then let's find a place with money!"
Barbarians never care who they offend, only whether they have money or not.
In the Vakiri system, people without land were slaves, and those who could obtain treasures and livestock by robbing the outside world and dedicating them to the lord could obtain land and the status of free people.
The hot adventure gene is deposited in the blood of every barbarian. Redbeard quickly gathered a group of dirty adventurers after a little lobbying with a few families.
What they do is not surveying the sea area, but killing, robbing, and plundering!
This behavior was supported by the women and children of the family.
Every Valkyrie woman hopes that her husband will bring back abundant wealth.
Every Valkyrie man also hopes to go out to fight and bring back trophies that can prove his honor.
In Valkyrie villages, the corpses of slaves and thieves hang. When there is not enough food, some slaves will be quietly killed by brave barbarian soldiers.
No one will sympathize with these people. There is only the jungle of the jungle here in Valkyrie.

Lawrence was lying on the bed, thinking about things boredly. It had been a while since he came out of the royal city.
"Would it be inconvenient for those people to leave me?"
Lawrence was thinking about things in the manor. He used to be busy in the manor, and he did a lot of work that he shouldn't do because he seemed to be honest and obedient.
"No one should have thought that I would take the money and leave that place, right?"
Lawrence smiled, thinking about his previous life and his current life, feeling much more comfortable.
"Maybe I should create my own surname. It has nothing to do with anyone else now anyway."
Lawrence kept thinking of names, trying to come up with a cool last name for himself.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out.
"Don't worry about this kind of thing. Let's talk about it later when we have children."
