Chapter 435: Negotiations in the swamp
In one room, Einar was sitting while in front of him was a man with golden hair and a beard.
“Very well, King Einar. Let’s talk about our history. You will see a long time ago our people completely dominated the Island but after the arrival of the first missionaries, things changed.
Quickly our people began to be treated like pagans, so in a matter of time we are a marginalized group.
That is why we started a war against those who had become Christians. sadly we had little power against them.
Although our ancestors defeated a king or two, the monks brought more and more people from outside to fight against us.
This caused us to slowly lose our kingdoms until eventually we ended up being expelled from the areas of the island with the highest fertility.
So we were in the area of the swamps where we have been living for generations until now only that the more the years go by, the more of our people are exterminated.
According to the latest information that I know, there are two other baronies in the north that are in the hands of our people.
The Barony of Sligo and the Barony of Derry, although we are separated, the three of us will trust a common ally, as long as it is against the Christian religion.
So now that you’ve heard our story, I want you to tell me what you plan to do once you conquer this island? “
Einar took a deep breath and looked at the man seriously. “Vilhelm the King of Ireland is my father-in-law. Because of some rather strange factors, we ended up being family.
He will take care of the kingdom of Ireland until he dies, and then I inherited the kingdom. You can be sure that I will establish a government with the Nordic religion.
I personally will take more than half of the island’s population as slaves in order to improve our island.
I want you to know that our slaves are not treated like Christians treat people. Being a slave of the Nordic kingdom means that you have the opportunity to become a citizen.
You have the right to have a house and you also receive completely free food established by the state. That means that you will not have to suffer.
You will only have to worry about fulfilling your work, which will help build everything necessary for the nation.
But I will be honest with you. I never thought that I would find a group of people who practice the Celtic religion, however I can offer you a deal in which you can continue practicing your religion in your respective homes.
As long as they agree to fight together with me in my conquest against the Christians, I plan to expel them from these Islands so that I will never return.
Of course, there will still be Christians, but they will follow the doctrines of the Nordic Christian religion, one that differs completely from the religion that they themselves are processing at the moment.
I want you to know that it is a religion that is not going to force you to convert and leave your beliefs if you ever wish to convert; you are free to do so, but no one is going to come here to bother you to leave your religion and traditions.
I can assure you of this because I am personally the leader of the Christian Nordic religion and the Nordic religion.
I am a messiah and a herald commanding by the gods to establish a lasting peace in this area that will become my empire. “
The man looked curiously at Einar. “Your words are quite strong because you are assuring that you are an envoy of the gods. Perhaps you are immortal or you are just another charlatan who speaks without proof.”
Einar smiled and took the revolver from him. “This thing in my hand is a specially built weapon by myself. It is about 1000 years ahead of his time.
It is only a sample of what I can become. Now remember that I am a messenger of the gods. I am not a god, just like you. I suffer from the same pains that a human being can feel.
The only thing that is special is that I have the advantage of being able to communicate with the gods to be able to ask them about these things, do not think that I have magical powers, however knowledge is the most valuable thing that the gods can give to human beings.
Now, as a sample of the fearsome power that is in my hand, join me outside so I can show you how the weapon works. “
At that moment, he got up because he was curious to see how that weapon worked. When they went outside, he was surprised to see a white deer waiting for Einar.
When Einar saw his partner, he caressed him with his hand while he spoke in Spanish. “Do you want to accompany dad, will I show the leader of these people the power of a weapon.”
The deer made a noise and followed Einar like a completely tame animal.
The leader approached Einar and pointed to the white deer. “How did you tame that white deer?”
Einar smiled and stroked the deer’s head. “I did not tame him. He approached me after he was sitting on a rock.
I don’t really know if he is wild or if someone trained him before, but I consider him now an important partner that I am willing to protect.
It’s like he’s part of my family in some way. You may think I’m crazy, but I can assure you that he’s the best partner I can ask for. “
The man sighed and looked curiously at the white deer. “I think you weren’t lying when you said you could communicate with the gods.
You know a white deer in our culture has many meanings. Some are good and others are bad, however I think this time the deer means the change of times.
When we were expelled from our kingdoms, it is said that everyone could see white deer, which showed that the moment of change had arrived.
This time I think that you are the change and the white deer will accompany you until you can achieve your goal. It is quite interesting because it is the first time I have seen something like this happen.
But I guess there is always a first time for everything.
Now show me how your weapon works and we can talk about the alliance, because I am completely sure that we are going to reach a good place by negotiating. “
Einar showed a smile and once he reached a secluded place, he ordered his soldiers to place two glass bottles.
