“Dad! You need to hurry as the amusement park is closing soon and I want to get on the carousel.”

Max who had a strawberry ice cream in his hand gave his daughter a smile and put his hand on Erika’s head while shaking her hair.

“Don’t worry, daughter, we still have some time before eight o’clock at night.

Besides, we can always come back, although it will have to be when I don’t have so much work. ”

Erika at that moment turned around and with her face completely blurred, but with a completely visible smile, she bowed her head.

“Dad, but what job are you talking about?

If I’m already dead and so are you. ”

After hearing those words, Max snapped awake and put his hand on his nose, trying to steady himself.

“Erika…”

When he left the shelter, the first thing he noticed was the aroma of meat being cooked, so he started walking to the center of the camp where the kitchen was located.

Upon arrival, he could feel a hand placed on his shoulder “Are you ready to go back Einar?”

Said Sven who had in his hand a large piece of meat that did not hesitate to take a bite.

“I’m ready to go back father, Although what I really want most is to see Kassia and Helmi.

I really don’t want to waste any more time without being without them, as I want to take care of them during their pregnancy. ”

Sven gave his son a proud look “I’m sure my grandchildren will be born without problems thanks to your care.

Anyway, remember that when you finish breakfast, we have to take an inventory of everything we got on the expedition. ”

Max nodded and sat on a tree stump to later use some water and ash to clean his mouth.

After cleaning his mouth, Goi approached him and handed him a large piece of bear meat on a wooden plate.

“Here you go Einar may not be the best piece of bear meat, but I can assure you that it is the softest piece of bear meat we have been able to cut.

By the way, Jarl Sven, I would like to ask you to accompany me to one last review of the camp, before you guys leave tomorrow. ”

Sven, who was next to Einar, patted him and started walking towards Goi who, realizing that Sven was following him, started walking.

Einar, seeing how his father and Goi were leaving, lowered his head and looked with some sadness at the plate he had in his hand.

‘I think I’m hating the sweet and weird taste of bear meat, but despite all its flavor, I like it even more than the Huaxmole that I once tasted on that expedition in Puebla when I was in the army in my last life. ‘

Using his hand, he took the piece of meat and took a big bite.

When he finished eating the large piece of bear meat, he got up and walked towards the stove from which he took an iron pot so he could pour himself some pine leaf tea.

As he drank his pine tea from a wooden cup, he made his way to the small warehouse in which there was a large pile of skins, sacks full of grease, boiled bear tendons, and dried bear meat.

In the place, there was also a warrior who when he saw the herald Einar walked towards him.

“I am glad to see that Herald Einar has arrived, I have prepared everything necessary to start saving all the skins.

I also brought the paper, the black ink, and the pen that Jarl requested. ”

“Thanks for the things Floki, but we should start making the fur bales first.

Since the sacks of fat, tendons and meat are pretty easy to count. ”

Floki handed the paper and the rest of the things to Einar and then began to separate the bearskins that had been stacked.

Max who was counting and writing the paper only asked Floki to stop when the skins reached the number ten.

Once ten skins were stacked, Floki used a hemp rope to tie them together into a bale of skins.

This was repeated until noon, when before Max were eight bales of bearskins neatly arranged on a rudimentary wooden board that served as a sled.

“To think that during all this time we have killed numerous white bears, not to mention that these are only the skins that are in the best condition.”

Sighing a little Max shook his head “This expedition was a good idea as otherwise, we might have faced a real problem in spring.

When all these white bears will wake up from hibernation and start looking for food. ”

When he finished speaking, he began to walk where the different bags were. “It’s time to start organizing these bags.”

While this was happening, Sven was installing some wooden spears “Goi, remember that these wooden pikes must be smeared in grease to prevent the bears from being able to remove them easily.”

After saying this Sven stopped and looked seriously at Goi “If for some reason you run out of crossbow ammunition, feel free to use boiling water to make those damned run away in pain.

Either way, the forest will give them good protection, but if at some point they are overwhelmed or simply have no escape.

Do not hesitate to end your lives, otherwise, the white bears will make you suffer before they kill you. ”

“I’ll take care of this place until spring Jarl.

But if at any moment our life is in danger, you can be sure that I will be the last person to end your life because I will fight to the end even if it means suffering. ”

Sven laughed and from his bag took out a dagger that had some runes which he handed to Goi “You can have my dagger, with it feel free to kill all the white bears you can.

When you return to the tribe in spring, you can return it to me. ”

Goi accepted the dagger and placed it on his waist.. “You can be sure that I will return your dagger and with it all the furs I can get.”
