Chapter 234 - The Arrival Of The New Members Of The Tribe_The Sage of Einar

At night the two guards of the watchtower at the port, who were ying a game of chess.

 Put their game aside when they could see in the distance numerous lights that seemed toe from the sea.

 So with some fear one of them quickly rang the bell to indicate that they were possibly under attack due to therge number of lights that could be seen.

 Einar, who was sleeping peacefully, upon hearing the bells, opened his eyes and very carefully got out of bed to avoid hurting his wives.

 After this, he changed his clothes and put on his armor. After leaving the room, he met his father, who was also ready.

 When they left the great hall, two warriors handed them crossbows and a quiver with crossbow bolts.

 It was then that everyone began to prepare because they did not know that he was approaching the dock, but they had to be prepared for anything that might happen.

 For their part, the warriors on the pier lit some torches and ced them on the beach to give the illusion that there were more of them.

 Although it was a simple tactic, it had to be used that way because it could buy them time in the event of an attack.

 At the watchtower the two guards were using their spysses, trying to see the number of ships, but due to the light of the torches and the darkness of the night, they could not see much.

 They could only wait until they got much closer before they could see the silhouettes of the ships and have a count of the number of ships.

 During the next few minutes, everyone was ready to face any kind of attack, so they could only wait for a sign from the watchtower.

 One of the warriors who were in the watchtower gulped when he realized that what was approaching was numerous canoes in which there seemed to be children, adults, and even the elderly.

 The other warrior from the watchtower, seeing this, realized that it was the people that Natukt was going to bring.

 So he quickly went down the stairs of the watchtower and started running to where Ansgar was, who was in charge of that night shift.

 Ansgar, who was standing behind some sandbags ready for battle, heard some footsteps, so he turned his head and could see Raner.

 One of the warriors who was guarding the watchtower.

 "Raner tell me what you could see in the sea"

 Raner seriously looked at Ansgar "There are too many canoes to count, at least I have been able to notice more than 50, although there are some that do not have a torch so in the dark you can only see their silhouette.

 But I could also see that there are children and all kinds of people, so I can assume that it is the Natukt people. "

 Ansgar sighed and rxed his guard "Go to the ramparts to report that it is the people of Natukt. We need a lot of help to attend to all the people you brought.

 Not to mention, we don''t even know if they''ve eaten anything on their trip. "

 Raner agreed and began to run towards the walls. While he did that, Ansgar began to order the warriors to prepare to receive many people from Natukt.

 When Raner reached the walls, he quickly reported what he had seen to Einar.

 He only looked at his father with some concern before turning and looking at his warriors.

 "I want them to prepare nkets and some pots of fish with wheat so I can make porridge so they can eat.

 We do not know what state they are in, so I want someone to bring the ves who work with Kassia and Felipa, as well as material to clean and bandage wounds.

 Peder brings Felipa because I will require her help. Eskol prepares soap and adapts some hot spring pools so that they can take a hot bath before they fall asleep.

 Everyone else who is not doing that I want you to wake up the ves I am training and give them orders to help clean all the neglected houses in the tribe.

 We have to generate a lot of space, if that is not enough, install some tents so that they can sleep inside a roof. "

 When he finished speaking, he made a sign to the warriors, who began to carry out the orders he had given them. For his part, he began to walk with his father and Raner towards the dock.

 "ording to what you mentioned, you could count only fifty canoes but there were more, although due to the darkness of the night you could not distinguish them, right?"

 Raner nodded "They are a lot of canoes. If it hadn''t been for the torches being lit, I wouldn''t have realized that they wereing from the sea.

 Until they had been a few meters from the pier, but if there was a moon at night it would be easier to see them.

 The march of the Valkyries only illuminates the sky but does not illuminate the moon. "

 Einar looked up at the beautiful starry sky, which was dimly illuminated with the light of an aurora borealis.

 "Do not worry about that. It is a natural cycle of nature. In a short time, it will illuminate the night again.

 Although there is nothing I can do to solve the problem of poor visibility at night.

 Just maybe by taking advantage of the new addition of Natukt people, I can build another five watchtowers with cement and bricks as well as a lighthouse so we can have better security at night. "

 Upon reaching the port, Einar watched as the first canoes reached the coast directly since the port was too big for them.

 From those canoes, he could see how some women and children were descending, which stretched their bodies due to the tightness of the trip.

 Einar, taking advantage of the fact that he knew a little of the Inuitnguage, did his best to coordinate the people so that all the canoes could lower the people and their things without much trouble.

 The children and women who were already on the coast were taken to some improvised bonfires that were made throughout thend where the dock was.

 In those fires, they were able to receive some heat as food and nkets arrived to support them.

 As more people descended, Einar realized that there were many more than Natukt had originally said he had in his tribe.

 This would only present a slight problem in the short term as the supplies that I had prepared would not be enough, but it was nothing that could not be solved with a little help.

 "Seeing all these new members of the tribe reminds me of the day we arrived on the ind and decided to stay here.

 Although because of the hot springs we named it Reykjavik, we decided to keep the name of our ancestralnd, Hegebak. "

 Einar was a bit surprised to hear why his tribe did not have the name that the capital of d should originally have.

 ''A subtle change significantly altered the future of this ce, although in a sense this time is very different from the time in my history.

 

 I just hope that the important events are not greatly altered as the knowledge of history could only serve as a reference.

 

 To intuit what the future would be like in the short term ... ''

 Einar paused for a moment when he could see that in one of the many canoes there were some species of jewels made from greenstone.

 Which brought him a feeling of very deep difort because when the light of one of the torches reflected on it, a small glow was produced.

 ''It''s not possible…''

 Walking very carefully, he approached the canoe and very kindly asked the woman who owned the jewel if she would allow him to see her jewel for a moment.

 The woman did not refuse and took the jewel only by touching it from a gray stone base.

 "You must be careful because the greenstone can burn if you touch it directly."

 Einar at that moment felt a few drops of sweat falling down his forehead ''Why are they using uranium ore to make handicrafts.

 

 This is taking the danger to another level. I suppose that ignorance is a blessing but not because you do not know how something works means that you get rid of the consequences of this radioactive element ... ''

 Swallowing, he shook his head as he gave the woman a serious look. "I want you to help me talk to all the members of the tribe thate to tell them if they have any jewelry or crafts made with this material.

 I do not want to scare you, but the stone that you call green is an extremely dangerous mineral that can cost your life simply by being close to it.

 If they feel that I am stealing their precious goods they are very wrong. I will talk to Natukt anyway so I can exin the problem.

 But can you help me solve this problem? "

 The woman, who was already somewhat afraid when she saw the green stone, nodded and started running towards the campfires.

 Sven, who looked at his son, pointed to the jewel he had in his hand "Einar, why that woman looked scared and why don''t you look veryfortable holding that green jewel?"
