Chapter 175: Dismissing the Inuit warriors 1/2
Two days after testing the solar cooker prototype, most of the tribe was gathered in the center of town.
As they looked curiously at a large rounded apparatus on a platform, the apparatus was shaped like a plate resembling a chair and in front of it was an iron stand.
Also, another thing that caught their attention was that the metal inside that device was quite shiny.
Natukt, who was looking at the front line as one of Einar’s many personal guests, was looking with his warrior brothers at the beautiful interior of that machine.
“As I heard from Jarl Sven that machine will allow cooking food using only sunlight, it may sound like something that only the gods would do but from all the time we have been in this place.
I think the young red-haired Einar, is someone who is destined for greatness, he should have the favor of his gods … “
Natukt interrupted his words when Einar stepped onto the platform accompanied by his wives, Seren, Asgot, and Sven.
Einar standing in front of everyone gave a little tap to the solar stove “Members of the tribe today we are gathered here to show you how this new invention works.
Called solar stove with which all of you can cook your food, without using fuel such as wood.
This can only be achieved due to sunlight, which from today will have an important value within the tribe, as it will allow us to cook wherever we are and there is sunlight.
The operation is quite simple, we only have to accommodate this solar stove so that it is facing the sun and then we only have to place our tools so that they can start cooking.
Just remember that if the sunlight is as strong as cooking our food, it can also burn our eyes or skin, that is why you must train before you can use a solar stove. “
After just saying those words in Einar together with Seren, they began to arrange the solar stove so that it could work.
Once fully settled, Einar took a frying pan and put some whale blubber in it before putting it in the receptacle of the solar stove.
When the pan was placed in its designated place, the fat began to melt, causing a very pleasant aroma to be smelled throughout the central square.
With the fat already melted, Einar took some seal fillets and put them on the pan so that they would start to cook.
After a few minutes and with the meat fully cooked, Einar used a fork to lift one of the fully sewn fillets. Later he saw it with a smile and took a big bite.
At that moment everyone present began to shout the name of Einar because they could see that the solar stove street value was quite important then.
It could be used on ships and to colonize the center of the island which was a wasteland of ice.
When the spirits began to subside, Einar took a step back and pushed Seren who was next to him.
“This achievement was not only mine, but Seren also has a great share of it, because without her, managing to build this solar stove would have been impossible.
With this I want each of you to remember that it does not matter if you are men or a woman, you can achieve anything you set out to do as long as you have conviction.
That is why I hope you can also congratulate Seren because, without her and the rest of the artisans, advancement in our tribe would have been impossible. “
At the end of saying those words, a small silence was heard in the square before little Laura began to clap.
It was at that moment that the entire tribe began to clap and shout Seren’s name just as loudly as they did with Einar’s name.
After a while, and with Asgot still at Einar’s side, everyone fell silent as they wanted to hear what the Godi had to say.
“Brothers and Sisters, the solar stove is a great invention for our entire tribe, but it also implies that we will need a large amount of silver to make them.
Because herald Einar is a strategic asset, he will not charge to get a solar stove but will require the support of each of you to get money.
If any of you have some silver pieces, preferably not coins, and are willing to donate, priority will be given to the delivery of your solar stove, but if someone of you can find a silver mine.
He will be rewarded not only by Herald Einar, but I say he will also receive a reward from me and Jarl Sven.
As silver is becoming a valuable material for its use in everything related to the advancement of the tribe, I would also like to inform you that from the following month the central bank of the imperial family will come into force.
So if any of you want to save your money in the bank, you will be free to do so. When you save your coins, an identification number will be created with which you can withdraw and save your coins.
Being our first bank, what is in the tribe will be protected by the Jarl family and the herald Einar, also all their deposits will be protected by the assembly of the Thing and the warriors of the tribe.
If you deposit a silver coin, you will receive your silver coin whenever you want, but if you want to double your silver coin, you will have to make an investment.
Investing in the bank of the imperial family means that they will receive benefits after the end of the year, so they will not be able to take out the silver or gold coin they have invested, but you can be sure that I personally and the assembly of the Thing will take care of their coins.
In any case, if you want to know more about how the bench or the solar stove works, starting tomorrow there will be a daily conference in this same square.
Where all of you will be able to clarify any doubts, you have and see if it is really something that you want or not. “
Everyone present was quite surprised by the words of the Godi Asgot because they understood a little of what they had said about the bench.
After finishing the conference, Einar gave a farewell speech which was accompanied by his father and Kassia, who took the moment to report on the status of the 30 injured who are still being treated in the courtyard of the great hall.
At the end of the event, Einar got off the platform and went to Natukt because he had to deliver all the materials for his canoes because tomorrow they would leave for his home.
“Natukt, I hope you liked the little demonstration of the solar stove because I am thinking of giving you the prototype of the solar stove that we made two days ago.
It is small and it will fit quite well in your canoe so you can cook some hot food in the sea, I just remember you to be careful because although this is not a hurricane season it is never too much to be cautious.”
Natukt agreed and began to walk with Einar to the port where they would prepare the materials in their canoes, although there I would not have liked to send a contingent on the boat.
He didn’t want to risk it, because the round trip was quite dangerous, so unless they already started arriving and had a clear navigation route.
Einar could not put his warriors at risk, not to mention that due to the strange changes in the weather there could be some icebergs in the way which could easily destroy any ship that stood in their way.
When they arrived at the port, the canoes began to descend from the ship and they began to place sacks full of dried meat and salt so that they would not have problems during the trip and they will have enough food to be able to travel back when they needed it.
Because the materials would not be sufficient during the time that Natukt and his warriors were, Einar ordered to build some barges so that they could row the materials using the canoes.
As most of the matters were on them, Natukt upon seeing this felt relief because with all that Einar was giving him he could still bring his tribe to a safe place.
Far from that place where the snow has not stopped falling.
“Look Natukt, let me introduce you to how the barge works, and how many materials you are going to take, remember that the seeds you have are the most important thing.
Try to maintain them correctly as it will be somewhat complicated and it may take years to return to your ancestral lands to buy new seeds.
Also remember that washing the house only serves to contain materials because its manufacture is not planned to hold people, at most it could keep some animals but they would have to be asleep because movement could cause accidents.
In any case, if for some reason you cannot get your entire population out, just try to arrive and I will send all the boats that we have to support the work of transporting your population.
But before I forget, when you arrive you will be vaccinated so that you do not suffer from a very dangerous disease called smallpox.
They should not worry because most will have to be in bed for a few days, later they will return to normal, that is a requirement because it is a guarantee that they will not suffer in the future.
I hope that fact does not bother you, in case you ask we have already vaccinated, even my wife Kassia was the first to receive the vaccine. “
