Chapter 413: Arrival in Dublin
Einar, who was looking at the beauty of the sea, drank some water with lemon to avoid any kind of scurvy.
Something he notice is that the further south the cold moved, it was much greater because the North Atlantic current did not seem to be working as it should.
‘I suppose that for something the northern European countries had problems throughout their existence because of the lack of sun.
They will continue with that problem because they will not have colonies in America, although they may focus their eyes on Africa in the east.
I really don’t think it matters because it won’t be my development hub, it’s a troubled land whose biggest value is population.
That is what I really need. I have to motivate all my citizens to have children, even integrating Native Americans.
The population must grow. The only thing I am grateful for is that I do not have dangerous enemies in my entire expansion zone, so I will always be the dominant force. ‘
Einar drank some water and played some music on his accordion so that he could pass the time.
During the following days, the trip at sea was quite calm and there did not seem to be any kind of attack, which he did notice.
It is that when they entered the area of islands that divided Ireland with Scotland, there were many Nordic tribes.
Which had been established a few years ago and had prospered, even more with the increase in trade with the creation of the northern route to Iceland.
Well, many small merchants had realized that starting trade with the Norse was a good idea because although there are some who were Vikings, most of them were people who worked hard to get things for their tribe.
One of the reasons why the Scottish kingdoms had not attacked them was because they were not strong enough to launch invasions against all the tribes that existed on those islands.
Well, although they seemed small tribes, they had within them many warriors who could rival the ill-prepared armies of the kingdoms.
Another reason why they had not been attacked was because of the kingdom of Ireland created by the Konungar Vilhelm.
Who had conquered two small neighboring kingdoms in a short time and had conquered a small part of the island of Ireland.
As they advanced through the different Einar islands, I enjoyed at every moment the views of the place, which were quite beautiful.
They brought back memories of when he traveled many times with Margaret on the ferries and tourist boats to see the beautiful scenery of the inland sea.
Although it was very different because there were no gigantic buildings or sailboats, but instead there were hundreds of Christian and Nordic fishing boats.
Who sought to get a large amount of food to feed their families, because fish was the simplest food to be able to be obtained.
After a while, they were able to reach a somewhat simple but quite large port. Einar was surprised as he realized that it was a true Nordic port.
Unlike its port, that had a more unique style and with a different architecture, the port of the city of Dublin.
It was worthy of being a port belonging to the Nordic style. When the ship docked, Einar coordinated his soldiers to get off the ship.
Well, it was very important that they did it because they had to prepare all the things to be able to have everything ready, because they had to conquer many enemy lands.
With his soldiers fully in order, Einar met his father-in-law who showed him the city of Dublin.
“I know it is not a well-planned city like Asgard, but I have been trying to correct all that in this time from the construction of a functional drain to the creation of community toilets so that everyone can leave their excrement away from the streets.
Not only implementing that but also creating places to bathe in that way will avoid many diseases.
That is a fact because since you told me and I implemented it, I was able to discover that the diseases were completely reduced.
Not only that, but the quality of life improved although it could only be applied in the capital and in the towns with the use of latrines.
But for something it begins because not all of us have the gift of being Odin’s heralds. “
Einar smiled and patted his father-in-law. “But you have something that others do not have and that is that you have the herald of Odin as a son so you have more advantages than them.
I would even dare to say that you can achieve great things once the kingdom is complete, because you will have more resources.
Either way, I will be helping you develop Ireland so that you can turn it into a true Nordic paradise.
Where our people can feel safe, I will also take care to make the city of Ireland a place of worship for the Norse religion.
In this way, thousands of brave Nordic warriors or simple citizens will come to see this city to be able to know one of the holy lands of the Nordic religion.
But since we’re here, how about showing me the battlement tower so I can talk about the next target we have to attack. “
Vilhelm looked proudly at Einar. “You are a good son. I’m sure my daughter made a good choice to take you in that crazy way. She has to show love.
I can’t wait to have more grandchildren. That way, my lineage will be completely transmitted, but I can assure you that when they are older, I will teach them the history of their maternal family.
It may not be as long as yours, but my ancestors were great Norse personalities, although due to time their legacy is being lost. “
“Do not worry about that Vilhelm, I will take care of telling the complete story of the entire family of my children, so those stories about your ancestors will be kept for posterity in textbooks.
That any Nordic citizen will be able to review in order to better understand the history of those who were before us and that due to lack of a means to record history, their stories have been forgotten by the passage of time.
The more history we have, the greater the amount of culture that we generate in our citizens.
We may not be an ancient people but we have many years of history and perhaps in the future we could learn more about the past. “
