The Sage of Einar

At the top of the snow slope, that formed on the hill where the royal palace was.

Vilhelm was dressed in clothes specially designed by Einar. These clothes were quite comfortable and had a striking color.

But what Vilhelm liked the most were the leather boots that were extremely comfortable. It was the first time he enjoyed having his feet protected.

Well, not only that, but the wooden base and steel sheet front protection made them perfect as a weapon.

So Vilhelm enjoyed them every moment and even placed an order for a few thousand pairs for his warriors.

One of the places where the warriors suffered the most injuries was the feet because of the debris and other debris on the battlefield penetrating the leather of the leather boots that they used.

"Einar, these boots are too comfortable. I think I have never in my life been able to feel my feet are safe like when I wear these boots.

They are truly a genuine work of art that you could create; I hope that before we can leave the island, you can have my order of boots ready.

With them, I am sure that the warriors will have a better performance in the battles.

I could even use strategies that involve throwing nails and iron shards into enemy fortresses to damage his feet. "

Einar smiled and patted his father-in-law on the back "It's a good idea, but if you want to do that, I think I can hand you an even more lethal weapon.

Although I don't have much, I think a few flasks of sulfuric acid will be enough to burn your enemies.

In a few days, I'm going to do the sulfuric acid test so you can see how deadly it is.

It is a weapon and an important material; I am sure it will revolutionize the way we wage war. "

Vilhelm laughed and looked at Einar with an evil smile "You are an excellent king and also a strategist. I am sure that the weapon you want to show me.

It will be a genuine surprise against Christians, just to imagine the damage ..."

Vilhelm shook his head "I think I shouldn't expect the facts. Where do we have to wait until that day?

But now show me how to do that skiing. Lately I have seen quite a few soldiers, including children, playing in the snow with quite strange tools.

I suppose you are going to explain to me how they work because I am interested in learning. Although the climate in Ireland is humid, it also has snow during the winter. "

Einar smiled and took wooden skis which he placed on his feet.

"To start, the skis are placed on the feet in this way. It can be somewhat difficult to walk with them at the beginning, but just follow the same way that I am advancing and you will be able to do it.

Remember that you have to fix them very well using the tapes that are on them because otherwise you could suffer an accident.

Because the speeds that one can reach going down the slope are quite high.

You do not have to worry about absolutely anything because the mountain has been cleaned of any kind of rock or some dangerous element that could cause an accident.

Also, the slope was prepared in advance so that it had a normal incline and nothing dangerous.

So you will find that it is too easy to go down the slope, only that at the beginning it may cost you some work.

But nothing that rigorous training can't solve. "

After those words, Einar advanced to the edge of the slope where he took two sticks and a metal helmet covered with leather and cotton.

He also put on his ski goggles and looked at his father-in-law.

"The helmet is mandatory to be able to go down because we do not know if an accident can run. I hope it does not bother you.

Now just try to put on all the things that I put on and we can start our teaching process.

Which shouldn't be too complicated because I think that unlike many people, your boat trips have helped you develop a natural balance. "

Vilhelm gave Einar a curious look and put on all his gear, as Einar had put it on.

He only stopped when he looked at the steel staves, which he observed with quite curiosity.

"Even though I know these things are for skiing, he asked me if we can use them as weapons on the front lines."

Einar looked at the staves and shook his head "It would not be an effective weapon against an enemy, but you have seen the design of the hatchet that my father gave me.

I think you may have noticed that the top pointed part is shaped like a cane.

It is specially made to pierce any kind of armor that cannot be pierced by the edge of the ax, causing deep damage to the enemy.

Although there are no very resistant armor, I think it is a suitable weapon to be able to achieve its mission of killing any kind of enemy.

Perhaps when you come back, I will have a set of battle axes ready for you so that you can give them to your warriors.

Also, remember to create a militia like the one I am creating. I will lend you two of my soldiers so they can train your slaves.

It is important that you have an auxiliary force in the defense of all the lands that you are conquering, because we do not know when the Christian kingdoms of Ireland.

Unite to fight against your forces. If that happens, you must have a defense force capable of stopping the advance until my troops can come to help you. "

Vilhelm gave Einar a serious look "I am glad that you are worrying about me but you must know that the bastard who can win me on the battlefield has not yet been born.

In any case, I appreciate your efforts and I am going to found the militia so that all the settlements that I have conquered can work in defense against the Christians.

But since we are talking about it, with the new weapons that you are going to give me, how long do you think it will be before we can conquer the island. "

Einar frowned as it was a complicated question "To begin with, I doubt very much that the Christian kingdoms and the main island are going to intervene because of what is happening in Ireland.

For what I'm sure, maybe you will be able to conquer all the kingdoms at the end of this coming new year. Of course, everything will depend on the resistance that the Irish put up.

All of them are warrior peoples, therefore the ideal would be to send the largest amount of population to Iceland and instead bring population from other places.

With the teaching of the Nordic kingdom, we can guarantee that the entire population will be assimilated in months or years.

It will not be a simple task, but it will allow you to govern without any single inconvenience, while we in Iceland take care of taking advantage of the new population.

Well, I also plan to finish the conquest of the island next year. It is a commitment that I plan to fulfill. "

Vilhelm stroked his beard and looked at his son-in-law with some curiosity "Now that I think about it, you have come up with a name for the baby you will have with Laisa."

Einar was surprised by the question, so he scratched his mustache.

"I think we will do that in a fair way. If she is born a boy, she will put the name. If she is born a girl, I will name her.

But I think Siriana will be the name I will choose for her. "

Vilhelm nodded approvingly "Not a bad name for a granddaughter worthy of my family.

I think you have a wonderful taste for names, but I think it is time for you to teach me how to use these skis because I want to feel the wind on my face. "

Einar showed a confident smile and pointed to the slope "For start, you should know that you always have to stand firm and lean your body in this way."

With a bowing motion, Einar showed how he should go down the slope to Vilhelm.

"If you want to brake, you are going to do it sideways. In this way, remember that the skis must be in the snow at all times.

For no reason should you separate your feet from the snow.

Take a good look at how I go down the slope so that you can do it. "

Einar then approached the slope and started down the snow at a rather fast speed.

But despite that, he did it with a smile on his face as he laughed, because he liked the adrenaline of skiing a lot.

Although it was a few seconds, Vilhelm watched carefully at all times as he did so when it was his turn to do it.

He followed the same steps as Einar, down the slope at a high speed, but because of his balance and strength in the body.

He did not suffer any kind of fall so he could enjoy the air on his face at all times. He only suffered a small fall when he tried to brake but did not suffer any damage to the body.

Einar, seeing his father-in-law in the snow, gave him his hand so that he could get up.

"How do you feel?"

Vilhelm laughed and wiped the snow off his body "This thing called skiing is fun, even more than killing.

I think I will promote skiing in Ireland. "
