The Sage of Einar

After having that meal, Einar bought all of Nelda\'s merchandise using refined salt and glass bottles of honey liquor.

He also entered into a contract with Nelda in which he delivered a large number of glass products, soap, ski goggles, and some 60 emeralds priced at 200 gold coins.

So that she could buy more ships in exchange for bringing as many slaves as he could, Einar emphasized that he needed thousands of them.

Although Nelda did not understand why she needed so many slaves, all the merchandise that she gave plus the one she bought could make her able to make a fleet of twenty ships with which to buy almost 5000 slaves.

She would also have enough gold to be able to buy a good amount of crew to take care of transporting the slaves.

\'To think that from a merchandise trader I could become a true slave trader.

I suppose heaven will be very far from me, but if that is a price to pay in order to have gold in my hands, I am willing to agree to work with the same demon. \'

After this Nelda spent a few days in the port while she could see how the slaves she had brought were working on the construction of some buildings in the port.

\'Who would think that among the Frankish slaves there would be an illegitimate son of a nobleman who could speak Latin.

If only I had spoken in Latin earlier, I might have been able to earn more gold from that sale, but that doesn\'t matter.

My only regret is that I can\'t see the tribe, but if the port is being built this way in the future, this may be the biggest city in the north. \'

When Nelda was ready to leave, she said goodbye to Einar and Sven, so that she could begin her return journey with her three ships.

When Nelda retired, Einar decided to begin his most important program for all the new slaves and citizens in the tribe.

That would be the inoculation of cowpox in all of them to prevent the spread of human smallpox that could kill them all in just a few days.

For them, he took representatives of all the new slaves and infected them with the cowpox virus since many cows were infected.

The first day\'s nothing seemed to happen but soon after everyone began to show symptoms. At that moment, Einar took advantage and began to infect all the slaves and children.

In order to gain her trust, he did the same with her body and promised all the slaves that after what he did to them, none of them would die of smallpox.

The only cost for them was only to be somewhat weak for a few days, in which they would have days off with food so that they could recover quickly.

Those simple actions caused Einar to once again be flattered as a messiah. Of course, there was a lot of influence coming from Angus and Duncan.

Those who, after giving classes, acted as priests to tend to the slaves, of course, with the influence of Einar.

He advances some things, such as the possibility of redeeming their sins through confession and the celebration of Passover where they would only have to eat fish.

Another thing that he implemented very subtly was the belief that Einar was a prophet sent north by god for the evangelization of true Christians.

Due to his knowledge, he created the foundations of a new Christian religion taking into account the best of the Orthodox and Protestant churches.

But the most important thing is that he implemented a system of nationalist religion, for which the slaves received propaganda.

First, they had to procure God, then their representative who was Einar, later they would procure their nation, and lastly, their family.

Although Einar had created a kind of cult of his figure that would be envied by any dictator, it was the only thing he could do to convert Christians to his new \'Christian\' religion.

In this way, the slaves could continue to maintain their faith in God and Christ. The only thing that changed was the way of doing it.

Also, because it took the best of the churches that caused a shock in the church during the following centuries.

It would be almost impossible for the Pope from Rome to be able to fight against his heresy since it was specially made to create inveterate faithful.

As a banner of the new Christian religion, Einar decided to steal the design of the Byzantine cross and the concept of the \'Cristero\' flag.

The Cristeros were a group of Mexican rebels who rebelled after the Mexican Revolution because the government was too socialist and wanted to alter Catholicism.

During that war that lasted years, priests and believers died defending their faith, fighting against the government that wanted to destroy it.

The Cristero flag used the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Mexican flag to represent their movement.

Einar did the same with the flag he created, which replaced the shield he had created for the national flag with the figure of \'Jomfru i nord\'.

The Virgin of the North, a Virgin Mary that he draws based on the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Virgin of Remedies.

Following in the footsteps of the Castilians, he drew the Virgin with many Nordic features and in its background, he put many details such as ships.

Although it was a very unethical way of creating faith, Einar had no problem doing it, as the Christian church did it whenever it tried to evangelize a country.

The only thing he was doing was using the same techniques to dominate all the slaves that would come and go.

He also had plans to make the first church but decided to wait because before that he had to create a true Reformed Nordic religion.

For the process, he had already written the scriptures that he made based on the bible, having all the important parts.

But that was just the beginning, as the days had to be standardized and the symbols of the new religion had to be created.

Not to mention that he needed more Godis and Norse leaders to be able to standardize the new religion, although he was sure that once that process began.

Christianity could not enter all of Northern Europe and even if it did, it would encounter the Christian religion created by Einar.

Where Priests Shake Their Foundations of Faith, it was an ideological bomb specially created to break ancient beliefs from within.

Possibly the Christian church would reform as it did when the Protestant movement was born, but it would take years, which would serve to give Einar time to digest all his conquests.
