Kamnier, he would never have imagined that the eldest lady of the White Tree Manor where he was originally located, actually bowed to his master very submissively.

   Lilia, she is a noble woman! Every boy estimated that the daughters of the manor chief would only marry the sons of other manor chiefs.

   Obviously, his master is more noble. Similarly, Kamnier's mentality has another major change!

   Lilia kneels to Rurik, is that what a servant should do? Although she is not a servant.

  Since she is kneeling to express her compliment, she is kneeling, and she is also kneeling. In the hometown of the Varangans, have the levels of each other become the same?

Once, Kamnier was timid when facing the manor’s family, but in order to survive, he needed to do some humble work for the manor’s family, such as dumping dung water, picking up some firewood, and other tasks that children can do. Some food survived.

   He originally felt that the noble women of the manor’s family could not be faced by himself. It's good now, facing the stronger, those noble ones have to kneel down obediently.

   Although the contact time is extremely short, put on the shoes given by the master, live in the house and warm bed given by the master, and eat food that can not fit in the stomach given by the master. In order to repay his master's grace, Kamne secretly vowed to do his best to serve. Similarly, another idea emerged in his heart-being a dog of Rurik is the greatest honor!

   Seeing Lilia kneeling, Kamnier was very proud of his servanthood.

   But Kamnier didn't know why he was named by his master and ran to this magical blacksmith's shop.

   Now, after a glimpse with Lilia, Rurik faces Kawei and Clavasson and officially explained his intentions.

   He brought the complacent Kamniera in front of him, squeezed his neck with his right hand, and said, "Clarvasson, this kid is my servant. Now, I will put him here to learn how to strike iron."

   "What? Come to me to learn how to strike iron? Could it be that you let him be my son?!" Kravasson said.

  Lurik hurriedly shook his head, denying Clavasson’s strange statement: "What a son! I asked him to be you..."

   Suddenly, Rurik thought that the concept of "student" and "apprentice" does not exist in the Ross people.

  Because, student, a completely common vocabulary in Western and Northern Europe, originated from the name of the guild apprentice in the Hanseatic League hundreds of years later. It is a vocabulary to describe "young people who are demanding hard work for learning skills", and there is no such word in older times.

  Finally vocabulary is to be used in daily life.

   Kravasson explained that the so-called "son" is because the blacksmith and other craftsmen are all inherited from the father's profession, and only the son will inherit the father's profession. However, there are some boys who are willing to be such craftsmen. Basically, such boys will live as the sons of craftsmen.

   After all, the craftsmen generally believe in Thor, who is the **** of craftsmen and technology. On the issue of inheritance rights, the idea of ​​craftsmen is indeed different from that of warriors who believe in Odin.

   Since there is no vocabulary for "student", Liu Lixian simply "invented" the word "student" hundreds of years in advance, and gave it another attention by the way.

   "You let this boy named Kamni be a student? That is to learn knowledge from me? Is it just for this purpose?"

  Lurik stepped forward, he felt that Clavassen had a very close relationship with him, and as his own person, he should tell him the truth.

   "I need this kid to become a blacksmith. He will only work for me. In the future, I will continue to collect some boys and throw them at you. I hope you train them all to become blacksmiths."

   Cravason heard it very strangely, there was no such thing in the past. He asked: "Do I want to teach a lot of children how to fight iron?"

   "Of course, if you are willing, you can teach them knowledge including bronze casting, inlaid gold and silver, carpentry, etc."

   Cravason couldn't help frowning, he actually doubted whether he could do this well, because just training his son Kawei, he devoted a lot of effort.

   His frown looked embarrassing to Rurik.

   Could it be that Cravason meant to refuse? That can't work!

   Leurik took it for granted that if Kravasson refused, it means that the money issue was not negotiated. Money! What I have is.

   Leurik put on a smiling face: "Uncle, I won't treat you badly for helping me. I will give you some benefits."

   "Benefits? What are the benefits?!"

   "Of course it is a benefit that you will never refuse. Come on, can I enter your house and have a good chat?"

   "Okay, welcome."

   Leurik can be described as a distinguished guest. Kravasson knew that this kid must have a benevolent side in his heart, and it was incredible that he built a good house for the servant. Likewise, he is also building a new residence for his family. Because of these things, all carpenters in the tribe, including all the boat builders and leather smiths, have become very busy in recent days.

   Including the "Blacksmith's Guild" created by myself and my guys. Everyone is making steel swords to complete unfinished orders in the past, and they are also taking time to make a batch of ironclad ones. Due to actual demand, the guild also deliberately increased the price of nails.

  Lurik and his servants sat in Clavasson's dimly lit house. This warm and somewhat dilapidated house would not give him any good feelings. The walls and floors of the "Novgorod-style wooden house" that I paid to build are made of wood that has been refurbished very smoothly, making the internal living environment very tidy.

   People, once they get used to being clean, they often can’t stand the mess of the past.

  I'm here to discuss important matters in the future, and Rurik doesn't say anything nonsense to the Kravassen's family.

   In this house, Lilia in a ferret coat really looks like a little princess. It is her temperament that is most suitable for staying in a majestic castle, not this long house made of wood, stones, and meadows.

   Here, Rurik explained all his intentions regarding the "apprentice".

   He talked about his three conditions:

  First: Every apprentice must study here at Klavasen for at least five years. During the study period, the apprentices' meals, accommodation and other life issues were all taken care of by Rurik.

  Second: Apprentices need to participate in production during the semester, and the wealth of their output belongs to Clavasson.

   Third: It is forbidden to abuse the apprentice. When the apprentice is suffering from a physical illness, Clavason must inform Ruriek. If the apprentices have a negative attitude towards learning, the punishment will be the responsibility of Rurik.

  Lurik did not mention the issue of tuition at all, but on this issue, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had already made a huge concession.

  In the ancient East, the relationship between the master and the apprentice was a high-level existence second only to the relationship between father and son.

   is the saying that one day be a teacher and be a father for life.

   The apprentice apprentices, they have to kneel down and offer tea to the master, and even sign the status of life and death. The so-called apprentice leaves the inherent family and becomes the disciple of the master. During the study period, all the daily life of the apprentice is managed by the master.

  In exchange, the apprentice is working for the master during the study period. Even in the first few years after "graduating", I will continue to work for Master for free.

   This is to use the fruits of my labor to repay the semester’s meal, accommodation, and high tuition fees.

   Here, the life and death of the master and the apprentice is the contract between the two parties.

  Lurik felt that the “traditional master-disciple relationship of artisans” in the East had a lot to do with the Mohist school of the Warring States Period.

   In the West in the ninth century, the concept of the relationship between the master and the apprentice still seemed too new.

  Lurik estimated that if he got ten more young boys, let them learn how to strike iron.

   It is ridiculous to expect Clavasson to take care of so many children in their daily lives. The child's daily life has to be taken care of by himself as the owner, and only the learning aspect is left to Kravasson.

   "What do you think? You can think about it." Ruriek asked cautiously.

   Klavasen frowned, and both of them were thinking carefully, even with his son Kawei.

   The two senior blacksmiths whispered a few words, but their attitude was still a bit hesitant. Whether it's good or bad, they have never experienced this kind of thing. It's really appropriate to give iron-strike technology to outsiders, and even to be outsiders?

   The two have not thought at this moment whether they will bring a crisis to themselves after doing so. I don't even understand the concept of "the church boy starves to death".

   Seeing this, Rurik immediately pointed the attacking finger at the girl in the ferret fur coat.

   He coughed twice, and he could ask in Ancient Cyrillic: "Sister Lilia, in your hometown, are there many little boys who are still living?"

Rurik was speaking in honorific terms again. Lilia, who thought they were discussing matters had nothing to do with her, immediately sat up straight: "Yes, there are many little boys. If they... they can be your servants," It's really glorious."

   "Like a poor child like Kamni?"

"Yes it is."

   "Okay." Rurik nodded deeply: "Maybe I should ask my father to go to your hometown in the fall and bring back some boys. I need to train more blacksmiths."

   Lilia, she married Roseburg with the "strategic purpose" of revitalizing the White Tree Manor. When it comes to the blacksmith, her spirit is highly spiritual.

  Lurik continued to tease: "Go tell your husband. I want your husband and your father (referring to the father-in-law) to teach those children to fight iron. Your husband is a bit hesitant. Help me persuade them."

   The development of things is really something Rurik likes to see.

   Although the language is not clear, Lilia pulled Kawei's arm hard, and with a small amount of Gnostic vocabulary she understood, she asked her husband to support Rurik's request.

   "Ruriek, what did you and my wife say? Look at her, like a clingy puppy." Kawei was a little confused.

   "I chatted with her about ironing, you see, she is asking you to support my decision. As a man, you have to listen to your wife's opinions."

   "Oh? That's true too. Haha!" Kawei laughed wantonly: "I was a little hesitant, now it seems that if I don't support her, she won't let me touch her?"

  Kawei agreed, and upon seeing this, Kravasson, who was ambiguous, also agreed.

   is still the old pattern. For this matter, Rurik and two old buddies made a written contract on a wooden board.

   At this time, Kamnier has been sitting obediently, he still doesn't know that he has a brand new destination.

   In the end, Rurik himself patted Kamnier on the shoulder and ordered: "You, climb up to the old man with white beard and kneel down."

   "Yes."

   This kind of bowing and kneeling, Kamnier did a lot in his hometown. Only by surrendering to the strong can you get a living food. Previously, it was a salute to the manor's family, but now it is just another one.

   "Next..." Rurik stood up on his own, walked to the embers-burning campfire, scooped a spoonful of warm pine needle water with an iron spoon, and poured it into the glass that was no longer unusual at Clavason's house.

He personally held the glass of water, handed it to the kneeling Kamnier, and ordered: "Camnier, from now on, this white-bearded old man will be like your father. You give him this cup of water, if he Drink it and you will settle this relationship. You are my servant, and he will be your masta."

   "masta?" Kamnier muttered weakly.

   "Yes, it's masta. Exists like your father. He will turn you into a blacksmith."

   "Is this true?" Kamnier knelt down suddenly, he really knew that the blacksmith was a noble existence. He ended up with the cup and held it high, and he looked at Klavasen's face with hope in his eyes.

   Klavasen was inexplicable, "Ruriek, what's your trick?"

   "Hey, at least we need to establish a ritual."

   "Ritual? Didn't we complete the contract?"

Rurik shook his head hurriedly: "Our contract is complete. You and my servant must also have a contract. This contract no longer needs to be carved on a wooden board. We do a ritual, such as my homage to Kamnier. You have a glass of water, you drink him, even if you admit that he is your student. And he will call you ~www.novelhall.com~ well, it sounds very good."

   The feeling of being respected by others is of course very good. Clavason took the pine needles and drank it, and his large hand, full of calluses, was completely covered on Kamnier's head.

   Kravasson also felt that he really needed a so-called apprenticeship ceremony, and the ceremony of kneeling and holding a glass of pine needle water, the style of the ceremony came from the East. It is based on the ceremony of accepting disciples in the East by Rurik, with little change and directly grafted into Northern Europe in the ninth century.

   "Good boy, I will train you as much as possible. I hope you can satisfy your master."

  The words were spoken by Kravasson in Gnoss. Even so, Kamni felt a kind of warmth that was close to family.

   And Kamnier, he listened to a Gnostic word taught by Rurik assault, and attached: "masta, I swear to Thor, the **** of craftsmen, I will be a good blacksmith."

   Although the words are lame, Kravasson is pleased. Because, he hadn't heard of it, except for his son's accident, another boy said that he wanted to become a blacksmith.

  He was very pleased.

   Kamnier basically understood that his master ordered him to learn the technique of ironing, and he became a noble blacksmith many years later. Things are really amazing, is it possible that in the future, I will have activities with the eldest lady of the manor, Lilia, in this blacksmith's shop? It seems that there are still many fellow villagers who want to take the Valange boat and run here to become the servants of the master. Maybe, some of your playmates can also be lucky enough to be with you here?
