The Sage of Einar

Chapter 264: The coronation of the Konungar Einar 2/2

In the central square of the town, the majority of the tribe was gathered. In that event, it did not matter if it was a slave or a free person.

All of them were able to enjoy liquor, a large quantity of meat and fish, as well as rye and wheat bread.

This is because, for the coronation event, Einar did not want there to be any difference. That day everyone would be equal before the nation as citizens.

Although he was tempted to free the slaves, the attack a week ago only showed that defenses must be built.

For that he needed manpower and, to avoid wasting the nation’s wealth, it was better to maintain the Status quo. Although it might seem horrible, Rome was not built with good deeds.

It was built with slave labor. Perhaps the only difference was that Einar sought to create a meritocracy, so there will always be an opportunity to grow.

Those who are born of slaves are not slaves, in that way a national identity will be created.

While everyone in the town center was enjoying the lively atmosphere, the children in the orchestra began to play a song that Einar had taught them.

Which used drums while some children use their voices to create a choir to the drums. Later, the background flutes created a happy but very mystical atmosphere.

Asgot, who was giving a few orders to the slaves, looked at Einar, who was next to him.

“The large vases that produce green fire have already been arranged, but are you sure these two vases will produce a purple flame?”

Einar stroked his mustache “I’m sure they will because it contains sylvite, which is potassium chloride. The color will not be very purple but with the green fire, it will be fantastic to see.

The good thing is that during my work to make acids, I remembered what elements make up the pink stone of some hot springs.

It was not very difficult to refine the sylvite, although unfortunately, I had no way to make potassium hydroxide without some source of energy to create … “

Einar interrupted his words when he saw the confused face of his father-in-law, who could only pat him on the shoulder.

“Einar, I understand the chemistry you have been teaching me, but I am too old to understand everything you say.

I will always take your word for it and I can also trust that I can count on Helmi being able to follow all the things you teach so that nothing you do is lost in the annals of time.

But tell me, are you ready to be the first king of the family?”

Einar was a bit surprised because the history of his family, according to the skald, dates back to the arrival of an expedition from the Greeks in the classical age.

“I never asked but there was never a king in the family, in so many years of history?”

Asgot shook his head “In the history of your family or ours there was never a King, the most that one of your ancestors ever had was a position in the court of a mythical King.

Of course, there is too much history that was lost in the annals of time because it could not be told, but being the first king of the family, this ceremony will be special. “

Einar gave his father-in-law a smile “You can be sure it won’t be the last, because when I become emperor there will be a more magnificent ceremony.

Of course, I hope you can be in it. “

Asgot sighed and looked fondly at his son-in-law “I will do my best to live until that day, but I cannot guarantee much as my old bones could be called by the Valkyrie Erika.”

Einar patted his father-in-law on the shoulder “When that day comes, I can assure you that the Valkyrie Erika will take care of you.

Maybe she’ll tell you a secret and take you straight to Valhalla. “

At that moment Sven, who was dressed in his battle armor, approached his son and Asgot.

“Einar, you have to get dressed. Your wives are ready and the children are already dressed, only you are missing, and it is getting dark so the ceremony must be on time.”

Einar gave his father-in-law a hug and went to the old great hall so he could change his clothes.

When the sun was setting, music that was playing the children were silent for a moment while the noise of some drums could be heard.

On the platform Asgot climbed who, using the alcohol gel, walked slowly while lighting the 6 jugs with alcohol.

These started to produce a green-colored fire that just made everyone gulp at how majestic the platform looked.

Although many simply could not believe that the herald could have created a fire of another color because, before them, two of the 6 jars had a faint purple fire.

Which uniformly illuminated the four thrones, making them look like something belonging to Valhalla.

Even some Christian slaves began to pray to thank the messiah’s show of power.

At that moment the noises of the drums became louder, and some men prepared for the skald.

They began to make some noises with their voice, all of them did it following the instructions of the skald Per, who using a small wooden stick was indicating the times so that they were coordinated.

Fortunately, he had been using the guide rod for months as well as in his spare time he worked with a few men from the village to create a choir that could sing in tones that children could not.

Although he did not understand why Einar wanted a song about the chosen dragon son to be sung at the coronation ceremony.

He had to admit that the noise of the voices, the flutes, and the drums was a magnificent work that would leave an imprint on the hearts of everyone present.

When the men’s choir stopped singing, one of them began to sing “Dovahkiin …”

At that moment, Laura and Daven climbed on the platform while they made a path of flowers and seeds to the thrones.

Everyone listened to the song while watching the two children do their work. When they finished, they threw flowers and seeds into the crowd.

At the end, they stood on one side of the thrones, because as a royal family they had the right to be present.

At that moment, Einar went up, accompanied by his three wives. The girls had beautiful dresses made of white bearskin that was adorned with gold thread, they also had beautiful white high heels.

That showed their beautiful feet, which were covered by a mesh made of silk.

For his part, Einar was wearing a black military general’s uniform, which had a white bear’s fur cape. His black boots and belt made him look quite elegant.

The four walked to the thrones where Laisa first sat on the farthest throne. Later Helmi sat, then Einar sat.

While Kassia sat on his left side as the first wife, she had that privilege.

As they were seated, Elin came up, wearing a beautiful traditional green Nordic dress with wooden shoes.

She carried in her hands three beautiful crowns that were on a yellow cushion.

Elin walked all the way to Kassia, where she put the crown on her head.

“From this moment you are Queen Kassia, may Freya take care of your life, and may your family be large and numerous.”

Kassia nodded and bowed her head in respect.

This was repeated by Elin until he finished with Laisa. It was at that moment that Sven went up wearing with him a double crown of gold and silver.

Which was confirmed by a base that had supported so that the second crown could float because it used tensegrity to give that effect.

Each of the crowns had a special symbol, the first was the Christian cross that would give him power as king before God.

While the second symbol was a Valknut, a symbol that represented that it was Odin’s herald as each of the triangles that made up the symbol represented the nine worlds of Norse cosmology.

It also had the meaning that it was the knot of death, so Einar had the right to command who entered Valhalla.

Behind Sven came Asgot and Aila. Each of them carried a scepter with them.

The Sceptre of Aila had the Globus Cruciger that had a map of the entire world marked all over the relief, as Einar remembered it.

With that scepter he would become a central figure in the reform of the Christian faith, it was certain that he would be branded a heretic and the church would want his head.

But for Einar, it was the perfect way to maintain the balance between the new Nordic religion and the Christian religion. He knew that it would not be possible to unite the two worldviews until he completely dominated the lands that he would conquer in Europe.

But once he did, he could start by bringing the two myths together to create something new and unique.

The Sceptre that Asgot had the Nordic compass made entirely of gold.

It was a way of saying that as herald he will transmit the new religion that he will create throughout all places.

When Aila and Asgot reached the throne, they handed over the two scepters, and with that, the last part of the coronation ceremony began.
