The Sage of Einar

In the early morning of January 1, 833, everyone in the city of Asgard city could enjoy the fireworks that Einar specially prepared to welcome the new year.

Undoubtedly, many things had happened from the birth of Einar\'s brothers to the birth of Einar\'s 4 children, but what had left a lasting mark on the Nordic nation had been the attack by the Christians and the death of Kassia.

That is why at noon Einar met with Morgan to discuss the construction of the imperial mausoleum, which would adorn the middle of the mountain with a gigantic statue of Kassia dressed as Valkyrie.

The statue, to be resistant would be built of cement and steel bars, not to mention that Einar would use springs in the bases of the statue so that it could withstand earthquakes.

Undoubtedly a gigantic engineering work for the time and that will be remembered by posterity, because in that place all the members of the imperial family would rest. He plans it as a kind of memorial museum so that everyone could enter to see it.

In the place, each generation would have to build some murals to explain what happened during their reigns as well as they will have to document them, in order to create a solid history of the entire nation.

For a nation without history and culture is nothing more than an empty shell, which does not have any kind of future because it will never succeed in creating in its citizens the feeling of belonging.

When citizens visit the mausoleum in the future, they will be able to see first-hand the origin of their nation, from how it arose to how it developed and everything that it faced, that will create a feeling of belonging.

Not to mention that they will look at the eternal resting places of all the members of the imperial family from the good to the bad, all of them will have as their last resting place the imperial mausoleum.

In this way, Einar will also guarantee the creation of a national identity of respect for the monarchy, as a national symbol of the nation very similar to the Japanese monarchy with the only difference that Einar does not want his family to be gods.

They were only chosen to make the relevant changes to improve the lives of their citizens and they are also the origin of the Nordic nation, that way if there is ever a coup or revolution.

The imperial family could survive, even if they lost power it would be present in all areas of the Nordic nation behind the scenes or as a family of power.

"Morgan, you must start with the construction of the mausoleum, use 5000 crusader slaves as a base in order to achieve a correct advance in the construction. I want the statue of Kassia to be made with great care to detail.

Remember that she must be the guardian of the imperial family. She and Erika must guide the souls to their respective places of eternal rest because they are simply in charge of making the souls follow their natural course. "

Morgan looked seriously at Einar. "You can be sure Konungar Einar that I will do my best to have the statue and the mausoleum built in the established time, although when we have more slaves we can increase the speed of construction."

Einar who had his hands behind his back looked at Morgan with a smile "You will have your slaves in the course of this half year and by the end of the year I will bring in hundreds of thousands of Irish people to work hard until they win their freedom. 

This time they will work hard to build our country and the thousands of factories that will be needed to maintain the war effort. I can assure you that there will be no failures in the development of our nation.

Rome was not built in a day nor was it done by being soft with its slaves, however we cannot be so demanding because what we need are citizens loyal to the Nordic nation.

Be that as it may, you have work to do at the moment, so I will let you work; I have to supervise some things before four in the afternoon because I want to spend time with my family. "

Einar got on his horse and rode towards the army firing range, as Einar would test an experimental weapon that he had designed and its function was only to be able to attack targets at long distances.

Upon reaching the shooting range, Einar could see Seren and Gerd waiting patiently, so Einar smiled when he saw his two greatest artisans.

"Sorry for the delay, but the monument to Kassia and the mausoleum could not. Wait but I\'m here. I would like to see this beauty of a weapon."

Seren simply walked to the table and opened a wooden box from which she took out a beautiful long gun. "We used your Smith Carbine design to create the Nordic carbine.

This beauty in tests proved to be able to shoot 500 meters efficiently, but the carbine alone is useless if you do not have this beautiful sight with it. "

Seren took a copper sight from the wooden box which she attached to the top of the Nordic carbine. When she finished, she handed it to Einar.

"We made the scope following your glass lens design so it can see much closer than a spyglass and is more comfortable for the operator, but I think you should try it to show its power."

Einar smiled and walked to the table, from where he opened a small wooden box with paper cartridges. Taking one, he opened the carbine and placed the paper cartridge inside the weapon to later close the carbine.

When he had everything ready, he used his scope to be able to aim at a target that was about 200 meters from where he was, so he took a deep breath and held his breath to pull the trigger.

When he did, the bullet was fired and managed to hit the center of the target. "It has a good grip, and the sight is perfect for soldiers, not to mention that it is easy to reload-

What is the price of this Nordic carbine and the sight? "

Seren showed one of her fingers "A gold coin and it took us three days to make all the pieces and another day to assemble it."

Einar was surprised by the low cost. "I want 600 Nordic carbines before the month of March. Hire more personnel if necessary because with these weapons, I will make a sniper battalion.

I will make my enemies shit their pants when a bullet kills them from hundreds of meters. That is the power of the Nordic nation. "
