The Sage of Einar

Two days after that talk in the city's port of Asgard, a group of Drakkars arrived at the docks, of them under Vilhelm who was quite happy because he knew the feats that his son had done.

He was also quite happy because he could see his grandchildren for the first time. When he came down, he met Eskol who received him.

"Konungar Vilhelm, the Konungar Einar is a bit busy, but I will take it to the imperial palace."

Vilhelm just nodded and got on one of the horses that were prepared so the two of them rode to the imperial palace.

Einar who was in the laboratory looked with pride at the first prototype sound telegraph that he had created together with Sia.

Although it did not have any kind of light, the sound system worked by means of some keys which moved while the air could pass through a slit.

In this way, a single note sound could be created when the sounds were repeated multiple times, creating a morse code.

Although it was not very ergonomic in design, it allowed to send electrical signals at least two miles using a mechanical alternator.

"Sia, we just made history by creating the first sound telegraph.

It may not be the best of all, but being the first is going to be truly a completely revolutionary change because, unlike the optical telegraph where there always has to be a soldier watching.

It is easy to hear the sound once it arrives. With this little invention, we will be able to change the course of the occupation of the new territories without mentioning that we will improve communication in our land.

When I have to go, I want you to talk to Seren to begin the installation of this telegraph system. Since we do not have something protective, we will use pine resin to cover the copper cables.

Remember that the copper cables must go under the ground in a small stone pipe to cover them. That pipe must be connected to the sewer to prevent it from flooding.

If for some reason it fails, it will have to be built off the ground and a steel pipe covered with pine resin will be used. "

Sia nodded. "Can you be sure Einar, will you take the chlorine gas with you by the way?"

Einar smiled evilly "When necessary I will use it, because sometimes the fear created is more dangerous than the weapon that was used.

You can be sure that I will use it, it may not be the most honest action possible but as I said before we need to end this war as quickly as possible.

Well, I don't want to be separated from my children and wives for so long. After Kassia's death, I realized that my family is the most valuable thing.

That is why I am doing the invasions in this way because otherwise it will be completely impossible to do them.

Well, I would be away for so many years that I would lose the best stage of my children and I refuse to pursue revenge without being able to take my children into account. "

Sia just looked at Einar in admiration. "I think you are the father that many people would have liked to have."

Einar just smiled. "I am not perfect nor am I a person of admiration because I have defects, however I have clear priorities ..."

At that moment the door of the laboratory opened and an imperial guard entered "Konungar Einar his father-in-law Vilhelm is coming to the palace."

Einar smiled and turned his head to look at Sia. "I guess tomorrow or the day after I'll have to leave the island. Remember not to experiment with acids or explosives.

I do not doubt your ability, but they are dangerous reagents that can cost you your life. I recommend that you focus your attention on obtaining aspirin from tar.

I know it can be complicated or impossible, but you can always use misbehaved slaves as guinea pigs.

They cannot say anything and their sacrifice will be for the good of science. Their names may be lost in time, however the results will last for eternity. "

Sia nodded and saw Einar leave the laboratory, for which she sighed, as she had many things to do.

When Einar came down to the waiting room of the imperial palace, he could see his father-in-law Vilhelm holding his two grandsons Jotun and Skade.

"Little children are just as strong as their mother and grandfather. It is a shame that you have their father's hair, but I will still take care of you in the same way.

Well, you are my family; I hope that when you grow up, you will spend time with your grandfather, because I am sure that you will learn what life is like by following the ancient Nordic traditions.

Although I like that they are growing up in a quiet place, sometimes the wolf cub needs to leave the pack to know the reality of the world.

I know that you will be able to achieve great things. "

Laisa who was looking at her father only smiled as she knew that Vilhelm might look cold on the outside but he was actually a loving man like Einar.

It's just that he rarely shows his feelings with someone other than his family.

Einar simply sat on one of the sofas and looked at his father-in-law. "I agree that they need to grow up in an environment away from the peace of Asgard.

When they grow up, the whole family will spend time in Ireland to build character. All my children must know the reality of the world.

Well, I can't change it just by wanting it. "

Vilhelm only sighed. "In that you are right, but I can guarantee that any of your children that you send to Ireland will be able to grow up healthy but will have to live by their own hand as is reality.

I think I can help you with that. I just hope that in the process I can have more grandchildren. "

Einar laughed and with a small sign of his hand Laisa sat on Einar's lap. "Don't worry Vilhelm, I will do my best to have enough children with Laisa.

Well, I'm addicted to taking care of my children. "

Vilhelm looked proudly at Einar. "You are the best son a father can have."

After this, they spent some time as a family and three days later, all the fleets prepared with the soldiers and the war material to be able to follow the small fleet of Vilhelm.

Because the invasion of the kingdoms of Ireland was about to begin.
