We were traveling along the Silk Road.
545
00:40:25,406 --> 00:40:26,633
We had gone many rost and
546
00:40:26,658 --> 00:40:28,883
talked to many traders
from different countries,
547
00:40:28,917 --> 00:40:30,551
when we came to the kingdom of Rus.
548
00:40:30,586 --> 00:40:32,987
I have heard of it.
It was founded by Rus Vikings.
549
00:40:33,021 --> 00:40:35,957
[ENVOY] Yes. Some of them
could still speak our language.
550
00:40:35,991 --> 00:40:39,427
We were invited into one of their
principal towns, called Novgorod.
551
00:40:39,461 --> 00:40:40,871
Novgorod is a rich place,
552
00:40:40,906 --> 00:40:44,265
for these Rus are very successful
warriors, hunters, and traders.
553
00:40:44,299 --> 00:40:46,734
And they were anxious
to do deals with us,
554
00:40:46,768 --> 00:40:48,970
for they said that we have
many things which they wanted.
555
00:40:49,004 --> 00:40:51,038
[TORVI] But I don't understand.
556
00:40:51,073 --> 00:40:55,443
If you were so successful,
then why did you come back so early?
557
00:40:55,477 --> 00:40:57,812
Surely your mission is not yet concluded.
558
00:40:57,846 --> 00:40:59,334
[ENVOY] No.
559
00:40:59,369 --> 00:41:01,549
But we all felt that someone
should return here at once.
560
00:41:01,583 --> 00:41:03,351
To report your success?
561
00:41:03,385 --> 00:41:06,377
[ENVOY] No. To report something else.
562
00:41:06,412 --> 00:41:07,744
For while we were in Novgorod,
563
00:41:07,769 --> 00:41:10,324
we learned that someone else
was staying with the Rus.
564
00:41:10,359 --> 00:41:12,360
Indeed, living at the palace
565
00:41:12,394 --> 00:41:15,930
in another town called Kiev
with their leader, Prince Oleg.
566
00:41:15,964 --> 00:41:17,298
Ivar?
567
00:41:17,332 --> 00:41:18,900
[ENVOY] Yes.
568
00:41:18,934 --> 00:41:21,102
They told us that King Ivar the Boneless,
569
00:41:21,136 --> 00:41:24,205
son of Ragnar Lothbrok, was their guest.
570
00:41:26,208 --> 00:41:28,476
You have done well to bring us this news.
571
00:41:31,246 --> 00:41:35,383
I am not surprised to hear that
my little brother is still alive.
572
00:41:36,151 --> 00:41:37,485
Go, and drink.
573
00:41:37,519 --> 00:41:38,986
[ENVOY] Thank you, Ubbe.
574
00:41:41,356 --> 00:41:42,623
What did you see?
575
00:41:49,131 --> 00:41:50,932
You must tell Hvitserk.
576
00:41:50,966 --> 00:41:52,934
For better or worse, he needs to know.
577
00:41:55,904 --> 00:41:57,238
[MAN] Tighter!
578
00:41:58,440 --> 00:41:59,774

[IVAR IN DISTORTED VOICE] Is it true?
585
00:42:54,463 --> 00:42:56,964
Did you jump ship to be near me?

587
00:43:01,370 --> 00:43:03,404
