Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 7

It’s the limit——

Hawkeye disappeared as his strength was exhausted, and Rayleigh, who couldn't see Kaisen's movements clearly, was defeated.

"Kesen wins."

The moment they saw their idol win the duel, many little girls in the audience cheered.Even though he only defeated a little Rayleigh, it was still a happy thing.

Among the peripheral crowd, Idiya secretly said it was a pity.

She was born with an extremely terrifying talent for reading and fighting. She could see Rayleigh's solid basic skills and miraculous judgment, but also his most fatal shortcomings.

When I came to the training ground this time, I originally wanted to rely on my reading talent to find Rayleigh's shortcomings and find ways to improve.As a new parent, you always have to do something for your family.

But right now, there is only helplessness in his eyes.

Rayleigh has worked hard enough, but his speed and physical strength are still so unsatisfactory. This can only be said to be a talent flaw, and there is no way around it.I was thinking about whether to comfort him, but I noticed that the eagle-eyed boy who was being pulled up by Kaisen didn't show any discouragement on his face, and he didn't seem to need comfort.

Then comfort Mellie.

Her brother lost the duel, Mellie must be very sad at this time, it is the time when she needs her own comfort.

Itiya discovered the great role of being a parent, and looked at the little girl beside her with satisfaction. She saw that the little girl's big eyes were full of admiration, and the pupils reflected her brother.

I really need my own comfort...

wrong! ! !

worship?

Why does Mellie's eyes look like admiration?
Rayleigh obviously lost the fight, which was obviously extremely abnormal.

Itia felt that her mind was slightly confused at this time. She knew Melly's character very well from her daily interactions. If she was happy, she would be happy, and if she was unhappy, she would be unhappy. She was not someone who could hide things, and she cared about Rayleigh very much. Brother.

According to normal logic, it was absolutely impossible for Mellie to look at him like this when Rayleigh was defeated.

What is going wrong?
She was puzzled for a moment, but one thing was certain, the brother and sister must be hiding some secrets from themselves.

The road to parenthood is long and arduous.

……

The duel ended, and the spectators left one after another.Most of the audience was not very interested in the duel between the remaining people, and of course there were some who stayed to continue watching.

Lie down horizontally and stand upright.

Skadi used a pebble to mark Rayleigh's mark on the record board, and then curved two small tiger teeth at the corners of his mouth, very satisfied with his masterpiece.

26 losses and 9 wins, what a shameful record!
I felt beautiful in my heart, and was about to carve a vertical line after the name at the top when I suddenly heard Kaisen's voice:

"Give me a cross too."

"Ah? Why, the horizontal line means defeat." Skadi didn't understand very much.

"I don't think I won if I didn't break through Rayleigh's defense." Kaysen said flatly.

"Everyone saw Rayleigh fall, why didn't he break through the defense?" Skadi became increasingly confused.

"That's because his physical strength has been exhausted." Kaison recalled the duel just now, and he had gone all out, but the eagle-eyed boy was like a dragon-headed boat in the waves. Although it was shaky, he could still block every attack. , until exhausted.

Such a victory was not what he wanted.

"I'm not strong enough. This horizontal line will spur me on." Kaisen's voice continued.

"As expected of Kaisen, even if he becomes invincible, he will never be satisfied with his own progress." Skadi's eyes were filled with little stars, and she happily drew a horizontal line behind the name at the top.

"Have you noticed that Rayleigh seems to have become stronger again?"

"I feel this way, but it's still a bit unbelievable that he can actually sustain it despite Kaisen's full strength."

"I have to come here early tomorrow. Who says diligence is useless? If this continues, I'm afraid even Rayleigh won't be able to beat him."

Seeing Kaisen willingly take "defeat" as the result of this battle, the people around him felt a little emotional.

At this time, Rayleigh was being gently re-cleaned and bandaged by his sister-in-law, while his mind was reviewing the duel just now.

The first is Hawkeye. The consumption of Hawkeye is not large, equivalent to the physical energy lost by jogging, which means that he can maintain Hawkeye for a long time for fighting.

Of course, you cannot rely on Hawkeye for daily training and duels, you still have to rely on your own normal strength.If you become dependent on the eagle eye, you will be blind in many situations, such as heavy fog, storms and other weather conditions.Not to mention that relying too much on his eyes would prevent him from exercising his ears. He didn't want to be a partial warrior.

Secondly, you must strengthen your dodge ability and not just rely on blocking.

Facing a powerful blow from your opponent, if you can easily dodge it and attack and defend several times, you can save a lot of energy.When encountering evenly matched opponents, you often have to rely on details to win, so it is particularly important to minimize your own physical exertion.

If he could become a battle-detailed monster like Uchiha Itachi, that would be...

"Okay, how do you feel?" Itia glanced at her bandaged wound with satisfaction.

"It feels like I'm just dreaming." Rayleigh laughed dumbly. He was still staggering even when running, but he just wanted to learn to fly.

What are you thinking!

He stopped drawing cakes for himself, looked up and saw his sister-in-law who was looking at him in a deep way, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?" "It's nothing." A faint pity arose in Yitiya's heart, and she simply bandaged his wound. It was like he was dreaming, and he was laughing so hard, it was obvious what kind of life this young man had lived before.

But luckily I still have myself, and things will get better in the future.

She was suddenly full of motivation and expectations for the days to come.

"We will go there together for the banquet when the fleet returns in the evening."

After satisfying her parents' desires, Idiya left here after leaving a few words.

……

At noon, a large fireball hung in the sky, baking the sand on the ground to a boil.

The trainers on the shore have already stepped into the beach full of sea water. Some warriors are taking advantage of sea swimming to exercise, some are soaking half of their bodies in the water to practice fighting, and many are sitting under the sun visor. Eat food while resting.

Rayleigh was chopping fish with a wooden sword.

Although the tribesmen only eat two meals a day, breakfast and dinner, people like them who train a lot often bring rye bread and dried meat with them as snacks when they are hungry.He came earlier and had already finished the dry food he brought.

At this time every day, he would try to cut down a fish to fill his stomach.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t cut any fish, because…

Soon I saw my sister with a screamer crow and a wooden sword tied around her waist, running over with a fish in each hand.

This has been the norm since two years ago.

If it weren't for large-scale reproduction and migration of fish schools, if an individual wanted to catch fish in the sea, except for those top raiders who reacted quickly enough and were confident enough, it would be a matter of luck for others.

But my younger sister is an exception. Ever since she first played in the water at the age of 6, she has always been able to catch fish in the sea.

But catching fish in the sea takes a lot of effort and effort. With the little girl's physical strength, she can't catch a few fish every day.If it is winter, most fish will go into the deep sea and become more difficult to catch.

Rayleigh finished his air chop, took the two fish from his sister's hands, took out a knife and cleaned them up, then returned to the shore and used a flint to knock out the flames, then skewered the two fish with wooden sticks and placed them on the Start grilling on the rack.

While turning the wooden stick, sprinkle garlic, cumin, salt and other seasonings evenly around the fish.

After a while, the smell of grilled fish spread.

My sister smashed her mouth, her big eyes fixed on the smaller fish that belonged to her.

"All right."

Rayleigh extinguished the flame, broke the wooden stick in the middle, and gave the section with the trumpet fish on it to his sister, and said, "You will eat it later."

He himself felt a little helpless with the big grilled fish. His stubborn sister would only ask for the smaller one every time.

"Whirring whirring……"

My sister blew the grilled fish, then took a bite, her big eyes instantly narrowed:
"Hey!"

A crisp word came from her vocal cords, which meant that she was very satisfied and happy at this moment.

"That useless guy Rayleigh only relies on his sister, and he always has to grab a big fish to eat, and he doesn't catch it himself. It's really annoying."

Not far away, Skadi took a hard bite of the dried meat in his hand and continued to mutter angrily, "I also want my mother to give me another sister. She will catch fish for me every day and bake it for me. I will eat it too." The big one.”

……

A fire cloud burned in the sky, and night had fallen.

Scandinavia is close to the North Pole, and the daylight can last for nearly 20 hours a day in summer. The opposite is true in winter, with nearly 20 hours of darkness a day.At first, Rayleigh was often surprised by this phenomenon, but after so many years, he has become accustomed to it now.

Clocks had not yet appeared in this era, and time was calculated based on the size of the hourglass (not textual research): it took about one hour for the sand to drain out of the large hourglass, which is called the time of a sand clock here.A small hourglass is about 1 minute. Generally, an hourglass refers to a small hourglass, which is 1 minute.

Bastian's family of three arrived neatly at Barnard Farm. As the leader's residence, both the longhouse and the farm were much larger than their small family, and there were many houses of hired farmers nearby.

On the first day after the raiders returned, many families needed to hold funerals. It also took time to prepare the ingredients, so it was not suitable for holding banquets.

Today is the day to celebrate!
Since the longhouse can only accommodate a limited number of people, only raiders who have returned from plunder and tribesmen with a certain status will be invited to have dinner in the leader's longhouse.The remaining children, the elderly, and ordinary women were arranged to eat and drink as they pleased outside the longhouse, and countless tables and chairs were already placed around them.

The banquet is the most relaxing and happy time for every tribesman.On this day, everyone can eat meat with an open belly and get drunk as much as they want.

"Rayleigh, there's a seat here." Jecam greeted him from a distance.

"Go ahead and don't drink too much."

As the head of the farm family, Itiya was equivalent to a minor noble among the free people, and was arranged to have dinner in the longhouse.

"She's really beautiful!"

"Maimei, please knock on her door tonight and see if she will let you in."

"Look at that figure. He's many times better than that woman of mine."

Countless eyes around her were following Idiya's movements. Only when the figure in their eyes completely disappeared into the long house did the men regretfully turn their attention to other women.

As soon as Reilly took his sister and sat next to Jackham, a slovenly lame man sat down next to them.
