Chapter 361: A Skald arrives in the kingdom of Denmark
In a small port in the kingdom of Denmark, a Knarr arrived at the port as he was returning from the kingdoms on the British island.
When the ship docked, a group of Vikings came down carrying boxes of gold coins.
But someone who did not appear to be a short Viking. The man had enviable musculature and some wounds on his face.
Although what was most striking was that he carried with him a sword a long flute made of wood.
The man was an old Skald who had lived in the Christian kingdoms for a time, but had received good pay from a berserker named Anders.
A bag with 10 gold coins was enough for him to agree to return to the land of the Norse so that he could speak and tell about the mythical Nordic kingdom in the north.
Not only that, but he also knew that the mythical Konungar Einar had killed the bastard son of the former king of Denmark and the Norwegian king who tried to attack him.
Although he did not know if it was true, he wanted to give his speech and sing songs about things in the north.
Especially the legend that in the Nordic kingdom there was a cure to avoid dangerous smallpox. He himself wanted to go check if that was true, but first he had to talk about that magical land.
Like his Konungar Einar, who was the herald of the god Odin in Midgard.
The first place he went was to the great hall of the Earl in charge of that place. Being a small town it did not take long to arrive.
The building was made of wood and had dragon decorations on the wooden pillars. At the entrance of the building, he could see a warrior.
“Foreigner, tell me why are you coming to do in the land of Earl Risto and why you are approaching to the great hall.”
The man smiled at the warrior. “I am the Skald Kol from the region beyond the sea. I come to sing a legend about a land called the Nordic nation.
A land in the north where the mythical Konungar Einar, chosen by the god Odin and his herald, fought against the bastard son of the ancient king of Denmark and killed the Norwegian king.
Not only that, in his land it is said that food grows in isolated areas of the world and to enter, you need to go through your reflection.
Most importantly, though, he has a cure for smallpox. “
The warrior was surprised by the Skald’s words, so he stroked his beard and asked him to wait as he entered the great hall.
When the guard entered, the first thing he could see was Earl Risto sitting on his throne, eating some grapes and drinking beer.
“Earl, there is a Skald who wants to sing about a mythical land in the north called the Norse nation.
According to what he says, there may be a cure for smallpox there. “
The Earl was happy for a moment before regaining his normal appearance. “Tell the Skald that can enter. I am very interested to know more about that mythical land.”
The guard nodded and left the great hall so that he could see Skald Kol “The Earl awaits you but your sword will have to stay with me as well as any weapon you may have.”
Kol handed over his sword and two daggers. He only kept his things that he had in a leather suitcase as well as his flute.
As he entered the great hall, the Skald walked to the Earl’s chair and bowed; the Earl asked him to get up and begin his song.
Skald Kol took his flute and began to play a simple melody, then began to sing.
“In the frozen lands of the north, the god Odin created an island full of volcanoes and placed the mythical tribe of Hegebak on it.
A tribe that survived a sea voyage after being driven from their ancestral land in a Norwegian fjord.
They lost half the tribe on the way, but with Odin’s blessing, the rest were able to reach the island. They all settled down.
It was in that place where our chosen one grew up between ice and snow, achieved great things. The name of that hero was Einar Hermansen.
Grandson of the mythical explorer Eero, the one who first came to the city of Miklagard.
From such a famous family, little Einar did not know it, but he was destined to achieve great things.
After a duel where he won, he lost consciousness and at that moment he met Asgard and the land of the dead where he learned with Odin a knowledge of the world.
The great Einar, who managed to have the knowledge of a god without dying, from that moment began his journey towards change.
From a tribe of 1500 people and a few hundred slaves, began a great change in the life of his people.
Food improved and quality of life increased, the building of a great nation began.
In just one year, he fought a white bear and won a fight, married two women, made life better for everyone, and cured smallpox on his island.
From the second year, the population increased and trade flourished, thousands of slaves arrived and with them, the Nordic nation began to grow.
If you want to see the mythical land to the north, you must arrive, but be careful because the Konungar Einar will not tolerate Vikings who are going to steal.
If your intentions are good, a happy life, you have to lead or the great Einar who defeated the Norwegian king and whose head I decapitated.
The great Konungar Einar, who married the daughter of the Konungar Vilhelm of Ireland, now allies are and he will inherit the throne of two kingdoms.
Land of science and the word of Odin, sacred land and soil where Midgard was created with the death of the ice giant by the god Odin.
Come to the land of the north and know the life of a true Nordic and do not suffer from hunger or disease.
A land that will be the envy of Christians and the pride of Nordics is the promised land. “
When the song came to an end, the Earl was surprised because he knew who the mythical Eero Hermansen had been. He was even a child when the stories of him and his expedition were heard.
‘To think that the grandson of the mythical explorer Eero would found a kingdom in the north in a land of ice …’
The Earl sighed and looked seriously at Skald Kol. “Are you sure the story about the smallpox cure is true?”
Kol nodded. “The man who handed me the document with the song was an envoy from the Konungar Einar.
You can even see for yourself that your rune writing is perfect without any human error.
He is Odin’s herald, but they told me that in case you didn’t believe, for some reason you could always see the power of Odin’s blessing. “
Skald Kol opened his leather backpack and took a wooden box, which he opened and from it took out a model of a tensegrity table that only used ropes to support itself.
Earl Risto threw down his glass of wine and looked at the tabletop model that only used strings for support.
“How is that possible? Why can you hold something using just strings that shouldn’t be something a human can do?”
The Skald Kol just smiled and from his suitcase, he took a beautiful green glass goblet. The goblet was decorated with details.
But if that caught the Earl’s attention, what the Skald took out afterward almost made him sigh as he took a green bottle that seemed to have a kind of green liquid.
The Skald opened the glass bottle and poured some herbal liqueur into the glass before handing it to the Earl.
The Earl Risto looked at the glass and when he smelled the liquid, he swallowed some saliva as it smelled stronger than beer or wine he had ever tasted.
When he took a gulp of the drink, a smile formed on his face as the taste of the liquor was strong and left a good feeling in the throat.
“This drink, what is it called.”
The Skald smiled “It is absinthe or herbal liqueur, a drink made in the Nordic kingdom just like the glass cup.
But these are just normal things. This is the most important and this if I can give it to Earl.
The Skald then took a soap covered in paper and handed it to the Earl. “This is a sulfur soap, a thing that will allow you to wash your body and remove any kind of lice or insects that you have in your hair.
The Nordic nation gives free soaps to its citizens, just so you know, the Nordic nation accepts new citizens, especially Nordics who want to enjoy the safety and tranquility of Iceland. “
The Earl stroked his beard. “This is very important. In a few days, we will have a meeting with Queen Malene. I hope you can participate.
They should hear about the Nordic kingdom, as it can be a great ally of us against Christians. “
The Skald Kol bowed. “I will be proud to be able to speak for Queen Malene and all the guests.
I’m sure they would like to know about Herald Einar. “
