The Sage of Einar - Chapter 505: Breifne barony cleaning

A few days after the surrender of the conquered lands to Vilhelm, the Nordic army already fully assembled after Ansgar will finish off all the rebels.

He began his walk with Vilhelm towards the barony of Adragh, this because he had to personally check the state of that place.

Because if the rumors were true about the ghosts and apparitions that occurred in that place, the ideal would be to cleanse which place of any supernatural thing that might exist.

For that, Einar was willing to use his daughter Erika, for he knew that she could take care of those entities.

Although the only thing that bothered him about all that was how illogical seemed to him those things that he could see and that completely broke the seriousness of reality.

He, too, could not complain much because in the end he himself had suffered something similar when he died on that commercial flight.

So he couldn’t deny that something else existed after death. Perhaps the only thing that bothered him about it was the fact that his daughter had to take responsibility as a Valkyrie.

That made him angry, but at the same time made him feel calm because somehow he knew that his daughter was with him, although not in the way that he wanted it.

After advancing for a few days, they managed to reach the entrance of the Adragh barony, which looked extremely gloomy.

This mainly because the swamps that were in that place gave it a rather horrible atmosphere, not to mention that the lack of people or even soldiers taking care of it showed that it was a completely devoid of life.

Einar did not like at all to see that completely abandoned area, however he could do absolutely nothing to change that unless his daughter could take some action.

The army then began to advance. Their first mission was to reach the castle of Adragh, from where they planned to review most of the towns that were in the barony.

This with the intention of being able to clean them and leave in them nothing more than ruins, which in the future could be used to be able to build new towns on them.

As they advanced again from the snow-covered roads of the Adragh barony, the entire army heard strange noises which came from different parts of the swamp.

This surprised Vilhelm, Einar and Dreide who listened curiously as the noises grew louder.

In a short time they could see how some shadows came out of the trees which were quickly attacked by the soldiers with their crossbows, however they did not do any damage to the shadows.

The shadow moved completely, ignoring the army heading straight for where the white deer was.

Which simply walked slowly looking at the shadows as if they were only garbage, because when you were they arrived where the white deer was.

They disappeared, leaving only a few orbs of light which faded in a few seconds.

Vilhelm, who was the first time he saw something like that, I can only swallow because he couldn’t find the right words to describe how he felt.

Somehow, he was quite absorbed in the image he was seeing in front of him. He had no words to describe what the hell was happening.

With some concern and curiosity he turned his head to see Einar and Dreide, who despite having a curious face did not show fear.

“I’m amazed that you can keep such a calm face despite seeing how that white deer can turn black shadows into orbs of light.”

Einar smiled and pointed to the white deer. “That white deer is my daughter Erika. She is the Valkyrie in charge of bringing the souls of the dead to her resting place.

I never really thought that I could see something like this, but if I’m honest, I think that sometimes ignorance is a blessing because not knowing about things benefits you a lot.

However, we are here sitting on some horses while we are seeing in front of us a phenomenon that is difficult to explain.

Perhaps the only good thing about all this is that the Nordic religion is going to have its own places where pilgrimages are made.

I am sure that the places where Erika is doing things like she is will be visited in the future by curious and faithful.

Well, at the end of the day, it is not something that only we all in the army are seeing; it is the second time they have seen something like this.

The only thing we can do in these cases is simply keep quiet and look at all these phenomena that I really won’t know how to explain to you.

Since although I am the herald of Odin, there is some arcane knowledge that I have no way of explaining it, mainly due to what is a subject that corresponds to the other world.

The knowledge that I have is mainly related to the advances of humanity, however it takes a long time to explain the difference.

So ideally, we should move while my daughter Erika takes care of everything. ”

After those words, the army advanced slowly as orbs of light appeared and faded with the advance of the white deer.

The black shadows diminished in number as time passed, however it was not until a few hours later.

Things got quite complicated because with dusk they could see in the distance how hundreds of people seemed carrying white candles with them.

All of them were simply walking towards where the army camp that had been established was.

Einar, seeing the people and the shadows behind them could simply gulp before he ordered his soldiers to create a large circle of salt around the entire camp.

“I never thought that we would have the privilege or the bad luck to be able to see the holy campaign with our own eyes. If the myths are real, then each one of those people who has a candle.

They are condemned to remain wandering the world together with the souls in purgatory, however, for many groups of people with candles to appear.

It can only mean that we are facing perhaps something deeper than we can comprehend.

Let no one dare to leave the camp because he will be selected by the holy campaign to be the next victim who has to carry the candle to guide the souls from purgatory. ”

Everything just kept quiet while the soldiers who were holding sacks of salt began to circle.

For its part, the white deer simply left the camp quite calmly, slowly approaching where those souls were guided by the people with candles.
