Starting from blacksmithing, riding and chopping Europe

Chapter 9 Price
Feng Daofu woke up, feeling as if his body had been wounded by a 200 kg heavy tank.

He let out a breath, and just as he was about to move, he felt something in his hand.

I took a quick look and saw Da Mao Luo.

The scene at this time can be used to express how dandy the landlord's son is.

"Trigger trait - lustful"

Fondolf: "?"

"Stress +1"

Feng Daofu: "."

"Stress +1"

After a moment.

"Pressure-2"

"The body and mind are balanced, fertility +20%"

Vera is already awake.

She covered the lower half of her face with the quilt, and looked at Feng Daofu with sparkling eyes.

Feng Daofu felt that the pain all over his body was no longer so uncomfortable.

In terms of intensity classification, it is probably a 200-jin medium tank.

Be strong.

It's just not very handy.

The laceration on my right hand had some mild pus discharge, which was much better than expected.

In the days before antibiotics, pus was a good thing, and in the Middle Ages this was called a lucky pus.

Because the common purulent infection is caused by Staphylococcus aureus, the body is resistant to it.

Feng Daofu was only mildly bleeding, which is not very good, but not so bad.

At this age, because the growth rate is too fast, other parts of the body have not yet adapted well, and the overall adaptability and self-regulation ability are very poor. The self-care, adjustment, adaptation, and defense capabilities are insufficient, and he is prone to illness.

As long as they can survive, the child recovers quickly under the influence of the extremely fast metabolism.

That being said, it is of course best to avoid infection.

The pus seems to prove the traces of the young wolf
Feng Daofu was heartbroken: "What can't be done to lick the wolf!"

Gollum~
My stomach is growling.

Just as Feng Daofu was about to call for two Maoluos, Vera had already jumped off the kang and ran away.

After a while, she ran over again, holding her heart in her hands, and leaned in front of Feng Daofu: "Master, I'm covering the hot bread, please take it out and eat it."

Feng Daofu looked at the location where the bread was stored.

Wolf wolf, no wonder you can't beat me!

I won too much without hitting!
How can licking wolf be the opponent of wolf war!

Dead Wolf:?
"Pressure-1"

Feng Daofu held the hot bread, feeling much more fragrant than usual.

Must be too hungry.

North's bread technology has not been updated. It is said to be bread but it is more like baked naan.

Feng Daofu ate two pieces in a row and it was a bit dry. He drank a large bowl of milk and was barely 6% full.

He looked at the two Mao Luo who had just followed Vera.

For some reason, the two of them blushed a little.

Probably the heating was turned on a little too high.

Vondorf asked: "How long have I been asleep?"

Little Mauro told the sundial time with her big curious eyes.

The Norse tribe has a sundial timekeeping method. In the northern region, it gets dark around 3 o'clock in winter.

Feng Daofu did some calculations in his mind, and he slept for about an hour, which was around 1:[-] pm.

He asked about the situation.

The wolf carcass hadn't been processed yet, and the three Maoluos were not very good at it.

Occasionally there will be prey in the blacksmith's house.

But they are too young, and this kind of heavy physical work was done by other people before.

There's no need to worry about this. With the current temperature, leaving it for a day or two won't be a big problem.

"The horse has been lent to Master Brooke, and he said he would return it in two days."

Little Mauro said: "In addition, Uncle Sally came and knocked on the door, saying that you are a noble divinely favored person. When you wake up, everyone nearby wants to discuss with you."

Vondorf probably knew what they were going to talk about.

He turned over and got off the kang: "Don't worry about this, I have more important things now."

"I just got an oracle to find the priestess."

Divine revelation?

The three furrows were surprised and curious, wondering which god their master from a foreign land would receive revelations from.

Of course there are no gods.

Feng Daofu did not get the oracle, but it did not affect his use of this.

Looking at the crude generator, Feng Daofu said: "Forget it, Wei, you continue to rest."

Asking Xiao Maoluo to put the engine on Big Ya, Feng Daofu took one Luo and one horse and set off, rushing to the residence of the priests.

Call ~
The huge longhouse of the priests.

The cold wind blew past the eaves, and the heads of sheep and deer hanging on the door frame shook.

There was a lower priest named Maureen, a Slavic woman in her thirties, who looked after the door.

Blonde, very beautiful, not fat.

Given the dietary conditions of the Middle Ages, with less oil, less sugar, and less refined rice and noodles, it is not easy for even Maomei to gain weight.

It is also because the diet structure cannot be strictly controlled. Most fighters in this era have high body fat, and it is difficult to develop six-pack abs. The big belly and round waist are also affected by the environment-starvation and talent are different things. Lux Maris is a macho man with high body fat and clear six-pack abs.

"Black Prince, why did you suffer such serious injuries?"

Maureen didn't know that the Black Prince was fighting against the wolf, so she looked at Feng Daofu in surprise.

Feng Daofu said a few words briefly, and the priestess in her 30s looked at him with a different look.

Like a retired horse, wanting to pull the cart and get back a little bit of the old feeling.

"You must have received Tyr's blessing."

Maureen said in admiration, "I'll take you to the high priest first, and she will definitely heal you."

Feng Daofu motioned for little Maoluo to lead the horse and wait in the longhouse first, and he followed.

Walking in the aisle, Mo Lin seemed to be curious about the details.

Feng Daofu glanced at it while asking.

The passageway is not well lit, but it has a +30% night vision bonus, and Feng Daofu can see Molin's walking posture changing.

He doesn't have any integrity, he's a player in Paradise, my subordinate's wife is also my wife, and everything else is a routine. If you catch a lot of heavyweights, you can shoot 10 out of 11 without any problem.

Feng Daofu was just very strange about the changes before and after, and said in his heart: "Is it because of the attractiveness of bravery +10, which caused the quantitative change to lead to the qualitative change?"

His charisma was the second highest attribute, and everyone in the North tribe was fascinated.

There are also many attractive features on the body.

Being charismatic, big, and strong already has +60.

Now there is a bravery bonus, which adds up to +70.

If it is set according to the favorability of Crusader Kings 3, this means that the favorability can reach 70 just after getting acquainted.

Play some games, the favorability of 60 is a friend, and the favorability of 70 can already be unlocked, which is a qualitative change line.

Feng Daofu looked at the reactions of the passing priestesses, lifted the generator in his arms, and became more determined to follow the trend of handsome men and magic sticks.

The Norse tribe's beliefs are different from those of the Heavenly Father.

Many of the priestesses in Northern Europe were women whose husbands had died and who had no children.

I don’t want to get married again and I need to make a living.

After a vote in the tribal assembly, they were unanimously allowed to become priests of the tribe.

While serving Odin, you can eat a lot of food as a priest.

This nature determines that even if there are truly pious people, there are only a small number of them, and most of them are just for food and clothing.

Even if you are devout, because the content you believe in is far less perfect than the three major religions, there are many weaknesses that can be exploited.

The Middle Ages required faith.

Feng Daofu, who had changed his mind, planned to use his charm and knowledge to take a shortcut from the priestesses.

"For the development of human civilization, I am willing to sacrifice myself!"

"This is me, the righteous Lingran Feng Daofu!"

A huge longhouse.

The priestesses gathered around the central fire pit for warmth and cooking.

They wear long robes and are decorated with two twisted animal-shaped round hooks on their chests. You can judge the priest's level just by looking at the size of the breast buttons and whether they are made of gold or copper.

Several lesser priestesses were grinding herbs with wooden bowls and pestles.

The chief priestess, Margaret, was wearing a thick buckskin coat, subconsciously reaching for it.

Halfway through, he reached for a wooden spoon, picked up some medicinal powder, and added it to the roasting kettle to make herbal tea.

"Make the base of birch sap, add half a spoonful of birch mushroom powder, then add rock fern, meadow fern, and acidophilus grass."

Margaret said and stirred: "It makes a cup of Norse herbal tea, which helps to keep the body healthy and free from disease."

"This cup is for you, Black Prince."

Filling the glass, Margaret turned to Vondorff: "May Death, the goddess of aging and disease, hate you."

Looking at the black long-haired chief priestess in her 20s, Feng Daofu did not refuse: "Thank you."

He strode up to Margaret, holding his hands high.

The beautiful woman, who was over 1.7 meters tall, bent her knees slightly with a smile and leaned forward to hand it to Feng Daofu.

Feng Daofu didn't thank him, but raised his head and drank it.

It is relatively light, with a slight bitter and herbal taste, but after swallowing, the fragrant pine smell comes back.

Feng Daofu nodded: "You have completely mastered this recipe."

Margaret smiled and said, "Thank you for adding a winter treat to the tribe."

When he had just traveled through time, Feng Daofu not only used his eloquence but also used some knowledge to get help from the chief priestess, and then successfully convinced the leader Ethelno, nicknamed 'Rock'.

Now Vondorf wants to go one step further.

Margaret asked: "I was injured and ran so far to see me, do you need me to collect herbs for you?"

Feng Daofu said: "I want to seek your advice about a personal matter."

Margaret looked around at the priestesses who were looking at the boy with curiosity on their faces.

She looked at Feng Daofu for another two seconds, nodded and agreed: "Come with me."

The high priest's longhouse required no livestock and had enough space to separate several private rooms.

Vondorf followed Margaret to the innermost part.

It was the first time he entered the room of the chief priestess, and his first impression was that there were many wooden boards.

A large number of wooden panels with inscriptions are stored here.

Like the earliest clay tablets, the Norse tribe used small chisels to carve messages into the wood, and all the letters were sharp-edged, like the original cuneiform.

"These are the greatest treasures of all the High Priestesses of all time."

Margaret stroked the wooden board: "Writing tools are too expensive. For ordinary North people, they may not have the opportunity to write and read in their lifetime, and they are not willing to learn."

"I've tried to get 100 kids the first day and only 50 the next day."

"By the sixth day, there were only five girls left."

Margaret sighed with difficulty for the promotion of knowledge: "Black Prince, in your country, are your people the same?"

"Like the Norse people, most of them have never had the opportunity to write and read in their lifetime, but the enthusiasm for teaching children to read and write is very high," Vondorf said.

"The reason is like the Eastern Empire."

"An ordinary property owner in the Eastern Empire, that is, merchants, rich peasants, and military officers, would send his children and grandchildren to the grammar schools run in various places to learn literacy skills and law."

"Why are you so keen on educating your children and grandchildren? Because as long as you are admitted to the university in Constantinople, pass the test and graduate successfully, you can become a warrior trusted by the emperor."

Said warrior is for Margaret to understand.

The Norse had contact with Rome hundreds of years ago.

Around 150 AD, Ptolemy, a writer in Alexandria, recorded the tribes of Scandinavia. In the following hundreds of years, various commodities from the Roman Empire flowed into Scandinavia, including bronzes, Glass and jewelry, used in exchange for Scandinavian fur, amber resources.

Margaret also had knowledge of Byzantium.

Von Dolf took Byzantium as an example: "Although generals, governors, and deacons in various places have extremely high power in the local area, they are ultimately controlled by the emperor and the central court."

"Theoretically, these titles can't really be hereditary."

"In order to achieve this, the Eastern Empire believes that it is important to have enough qualified officials, so the emperor will vigorously train them."

"Seeing that they can change their living environment, the people of the Eastern Empire are very enthusiastic about educating their children and grandchildren."

"Adequate and timely communications and roads in addition to officials."

"Collecting taxes and controlling local officials require a complete transportation and communication system to complete information exchange and logistics transportation from the central to local governments."

"The supporting station system brings financial resources, material resources, manpower and management costs."

"Whether it is in terms of manpower, economy, technology or even administration, the Eastern Empire has to pay a very high economic and administrative cost for this, but in the end it has gained a lot."

"Constantine I abolished the tax in kind and changed it to a currency tax, and his tax collectors could even take out five-year gold from the pockets of the lowest people."

"Although Anastasius banned the five-year pension, which gave craftsmen and merchants a breath of relief, he also tied small farmers to the land and collected annual taxes from the countryside."

"It has achieved almost precise strikes on individual administration."

When Feng Daofu was talking, he thought of the distinction between centralization and enfeoffment.

The economic base determines the superstructure. If it weren't for the lack of money in the Middle Ages, how many countries in Europe would not want to centralize power?

When the Age of Discovery became rich, absolute monarchy, bureaucracy, and standing armies also appeared.

This thing is really fragrant.

A regime that is bigger, wealthier, and better organized is simply stronger than a feudal regime.

But this is not just a matter of words.

There must be people with sufficient literacy and enough money to bear the cost of the station system.

These two alone are not enough.

The political power is a violent power that requires taxation, service, and suppression of disobedience. It needs a strong ideology to stabilize, solidify, unify, and persuade.

So you have to master the spiritual culture.

Start here first.
Feng Daofu said a little dry mouth.

Pulling up his collar, Feng Daofu said to Margaret who was listening intoxicatedly: "I have answered your doubts, now it is your turn to answer mine."

"I wish I could drain you."

Margaret sighed dissatisfied: "What doubts do you have?"

Fondolf said: "Perhaps I saw a divine revelation after fighting the gray wolf until I became unconscious. It was a very powerful divine revelation."

Margaret looked serious: "Describe."

"I saw Odin and Tyr, and I saw Baldr, the god of light."

Vondorf picked up the generator: "Baader shared my power to hold the light."

kaka~
The rocker turns.

With the current, the carbonized cotton thread emits a faint light.

Margaret: "?"

The usually calm chief priestess opened her eyes wide and her breathing became rapid.

"You have accomplished a shocking deception!"

"Diplomatic upgrade!"

"Acquire Specialty - Sophistication (10% chance of doubling persuasion strength, relationship with influential figures in settlements will increase over time)"

"Character level up!"

Vondorff felt a little hot, presumably from the heat of the escalation.

He looked at the black-haired priestess who was completely dumbfounded, and released a trick: "I also saw Freya's maid, El, the Valkyrie who mastered medical skills, and she told me that as long as I cured 10 people, I would Injuries can heal quickly."

"I want you to help me find 10 patients."

"Trigger trait - lustful"

Fondolf: "?"

I'm talking business, what the hell is this?

and many more!

Feng Daofu finally realized something was wrong: "What did you put in the herbal tea?"

Margaret subconsciously said, "It's just an extra herbal medicine that fights fatigue and can make people excited."

"Many people said it was very good after drinking it at home."

"Children can also use it, but it won't have the same effects as adults."

"This is the wisdom of the Chief Priestess!"

The black-haired priestess raised her chin proudly.

I am special.
Feng Daofu breathed heavily and looked at her completely defenseless appearance, and decided to teach her a lesson.

In the cold zone of Northern Europe, there lives a special kind of ant that can build unique thermal insulation nests.

In order to have a good thermal insulation effect, the little ants need to diligently carry fragments of grass, leaves, and stems before going through the winter.

Little ants have natural strength and can easily carry large leaves.

Small body, large leaves.

Traces were left on the ground.

Before returning home, the little ant's head shook from side to side, holding the leaves between it.

With violent movements, the dewdrops were thrown out.

The weight has been reduced and the blades can finally be brought home.

The chemical process produced by the contact between the leaves and the humus releases heat, making the nest warmer and hotter.

The little ants regained some energy and continued to work tirelessly, so that the nest could store enough energy for the winter.

This is really a natural miracle born in the cold zone!
