The Sage of Einar

Sven slowly got up from the floor and wiped the chicken dirt off his clothes.

"What the hell happened yesterday, this is the first time I wake up in a place other than my bed ..."

When he opened the door, he could see a girl who was dressed in a strange way who gave him a look and at that moment he had the need to blink.

So when he opened his eyes, the girl had disappeared. Even the snow in front of the henhouse did not seem to have any trace that someone had passed.

'It will be the effects of drunkenness ...'

Sven stared at the snow for a moment and then remembered 'Valkyrie, Erika.'

With some curiosity, he left the henhouse and feeling the morning cold began to walk around the outside of the henhouse because seeing the Valkyrie Erika meant that someone had died.

So while searching he found an ax with blood in the snow. When he raised it and looked more closely, he remembered that at night he had fought with a slave.

When he tries to murder him, but unfortunately for the slave, Sven, who had his ax was able to defend himself and murder him.

Scratching his head Sven looked at the chicken coop and sighed, 'Who would say I was lucky to end up in the hot chicken coop. When I return I will thank Einar for making it so insulating from the cold weather.

As for the corpse of this evil slave, I think I will ask Eskol to take care of cleaning this body even though it should be somewhere in the snow. '

After this, Sven walked to the town that was a little far away. On his way he watched the members of the tribe do their daily work.

Upon reaching the great hall, Sven met Elin, who seemed to be waiting for him with some concern.

"Sven it's good that you arrived, yesterday you just disappeared after going out with Eskol.

His wife looked for me because she doesn't know where her husband is. You won't have an idea where he might have slept.

It's a dangerous thing if he fell asleep in the snow. "

Sven scratched his head and tried to remember what he had done and where Eskol might be.

"Look at your son Sven, he looks like a true champion with his two wives."

Eskol who had in his hand a jug of milk liqueur pointed to Einar who was walking away towards his room.

With some haste, Eskol began to drink the liquor in his Jug and when he finished, he looked at Sven.

"I feel that I also need another woman or a concubine because having your son as head of the tribe I am sure that my children will not go hungry.

It is more Sven than you think if you accompany me to find a beautiful woman so that I can have her as a concubine. "

Sven who was already drunk also finished with the herbal liqueur in his jug and patted Eskol on the shoulder.

"I will accompany you even in Valhalla Eskol, you are my friend and my comrade-in-arms.

You just lead the way and I will help you find a beautiful woman, there must be one in the tribe that is beautiful enough for you. "

Then the two men got up from their seats and walked out of the great hall as they walked to the party outside to find a beautiful woman for Eskol.

Outside Sven could see men and women enjoying the party and alcohol, so the two drunks walked towards a group of soldiers from the tribe that they could recognize.

The group of drunken soldiers upon hearing the sad story Sven told could not help but hit their breasts as they screamed.

"Long live Jarl Sven for allowing Eskol to get another woman!"

After this, the two men accompanied by the group of soldiers went to where there was a group of artisan women who were led by Seren.

Seeing Sven, Seren got up and gave him a big hug "Congratulations on increasing your family Sven, but what does Jarl want from me."

Sven laughed proudly and put his hand on Eskol's shoulder "My old friend and comrade-in-arms want to remarry and that's why we came with you.

Well, we saw that there were some beautiful artisan women with you. Maybe someone wants to spend their life with Eskol.

You must know that he can give him a great number of things and he will never lack food. "

Seren smiled and raised both her hands as she looked at the accompanying artisan women.

"You have already heard the words of the Jarl, the old Eskol wants to find a new woman and promises him that he will not lack anything but something is missing in his sentence, do not believe it like that?"

All the women nodded, but only one of them stood up and pointed at Eskol.

"You promise a lot, but if what I want is to have children and start a family, you can fulfill that.

But most importantly, you can satisfy a woman like me when you already have another wife! "

Eskol felt the pain of those words, so he looked seriously at the woman and very calmly took off his coat as well as his shirt.

Revealing his muscular and scarred body at that moment, he pointed his finger at the woman.

"You can come and test if I am man enough for you. In my youth, I could make my wife unable to walk for a full day.

If you have the courage, come try this old man's body and let him show a real man, but if you like it, you will be my wife.

I can attest that the Jarl and Seren will witness this deal. "

The woman who also had contoured muscles emptied the liquor from her jug ​​and with her thumb wiped her beautiful pink lips.

"I accept your challenge old man, tomorrow we will see who of the two will not be able to get out of bed.

As for the place, you will have to follow me to my house and you are all witnesses to this treatment. "

All those present shouted with excitement because they were witnessing the only one of a night fight that although they will not be able to see it.

The result will be discovered in the morning, Sven at that moment handed his clothes to his friend and looked at him seriously while holding him by the shoulders "May the strength of Thor be with you, because that woman is a blacksmith.

Be brave and fight with dignity, it doesn't matter if you lose, your brother will support you. "

Eskol nodded and walked away while taking the beautiful but strong blacksmith woman by the shoulder, Sven then looked at Seren.

"Since I fulfilled my duty as a friend, what if we have a drinking duel, today I can safely say that I have Odin's blessing.

So I will win the battle, but you are free to challenge me if you think you can win. "

Seren then laughed and looked seriously at Sven "I accept your challenge and my mates also let's see how well you handle the liquor Jarl ..."

After remembering all this Sven looked at Elin with a smile "Eskol is fine, it's just that he went looking for a new wife and found her."

Elin stared at Sven for a moment before holding her nose and sighing "Well I guess that's better than the theory that he died in the snow but what does it matter where you were at night.

Juni and I were waiting, and the noises from Einar's room were too much for us. "

Sven approached Elin and gave her a kiss "That can be solved at any time, remember that we can always let Einar take care of the tribe.

It has to adapt because we will have to take care of our grandchildren and for where I was.

After killing a slave who tried to kill me, I fell asleep in the chicken coop. Because of that, I don't get cold at night, it's just that I smell a little strange.

But nothing that a little soap can't remove in any way informs Peder to clean the slave's body near the henhouse and find out why he did it. "

Elin touched Sven's cheek, "But I don't hurt you somewhere, you want me to call Kassia or Einar to get checked out."

Sven shook his head, "It didn't do anything to me. As I was carrying my ax, I was able to put it in without much difficulty, although because I drank too much.

I really don't know how the fight went, but I do know that the corpse should be covered in snow. "

Elin sighed in relief and looked at Sven fondly "I will talk to Peder and also comment to Einar, he should have a solution for that kind of event.

Well, it guarantees us that those slaves are not thinking of revealing themselves or doing something worse. "

After this Sven went to take a bath while Peder along with two warriors arrived at the chicken coop where it did not take long to see Sven's bloody ax.

Peder, looking at her with some anger, used his shovel to start looking for the body of the slave because he had to start investigating why he wanted to kill Sven.

With the help of the two soldiers, it did not take long to find the corpse of a slave who had a crucifix on his chest and a bone knife in his hand.

"Looks like the poor idiot made a bone weapon, but he never thought drunk Jarl could kill him from a hit in his neck.

It's a waste that he did it, but I guess knowing why he did it will have to be the main thing.

I want you to help me carry the body to the central square as Herald Einar asked to see it before we burn it. "
