We were traveling along the Silk Road.
545
00:40:26,106 --> 00:40:27,333
We had gone many rost and
546
00:40:27,358 --> 00:40:29,583
talked to many traders
from different countries,
547
00:40:29,617 --> 00:40:31,251
when we came to the kingdom of Rus.
548
00:40:31,286 --> 00:40:33,687
I have heard of it.
It was founded by Rus Vikings.
549
00:40:33,721 --> 00:40:36,657
[ENVOY] Yes. Some of them
could still speak our language.
550
00:40:36,691 --> 00:40:40,127
We were invited into one of their
principal towns, called Novgorod.
551
00:40:40,161 --> 00:40:41,571
Novgorod is a rich place,
552
00:40:41,606 --> 00:40:44,965
for these Rus are very successful
warriors, hunters, and traders.
553
00:40:44,999 --> 00:40:47,434
And they were anxious
to do deals with us,
554
00:40:47,468 --> 00:40:49,670
for they said that we have
many things which they wanted.
555
00:40:49,704 --> 00:40:51,738
[TORVI] But I don't understand.
556
00:40:51,773 --> 00:40:56,143
If you were so successful,
then why did you come back so early?
557
00:40:56,177 --> 00:40:58,512
Surely your mission is not yet concluded.
558
00:40:58,546 --> 00:41:00,034
[ENVOY] No.
559
00:41:00,069 --> 00:41:02,249
But we all felt that someone
should return here at once.
560
00:41:02,283 --> 00:41:04,051
To report your success?
561
00:41:04,085 --> 00:41:07,077
[ENVOY] No. To report something else.
562
00:41:07,112 --> 00:41:08,444
For while we were in Novgorod,
563
00:41:08,469 --> 00:41:11,024
we learned that someone else
was staying with the Rus.
564
00:41:11,059 --> 00:41:13,060
Indeed, living at the palace
565
00:41:13,094 --> 00:41:16,630
in another town called Kiev
with their leader, Prince Oleg.
566
00:41:16,664 --> 00:41:17,998
Ivar?
567
00:41:18,032 --> 00:41:19,600
[ENVOY] Yes.
568
00:41:19,634 --> 00:41:21,802
They told us that King Ivar the Boneless,
569
00:41:21,836 --> 00:41:24,905
son of Ragnar Lothbrok, was their guest.
570
00:41:26,908 --> 00:41:29,176
You have done well to bring us this news.
571
00:41:31,946 --> 00:41:36,083
I am not surprised to hear that
my little brother is still alive.
572
00:41:36,851 --> 00:41:38,185
Go, and drink.
573
00:41:38,219 --> 00:41:39,686
[ENVOY] Thank you, Ubbe.
574
00:41:42,056 --> 00:41:43,323
What did you see?
575
00:41:49,831 --> 00:41:51,632
You must tell Hvitserk.
576
00:41:51,666 --> 00:41:53,634
For better or worse, he needs to know.
577
00:41:56,604 --> 00:41:57,938
[MAN] Tighter!
578
00:41:59,140 --> 00:42:00,474

[IVAR IN DISTORTED VOICE] Is it true?
585
00:42:55,163 --> 00:42:57,664
Did you jump ship to be near me?

587
00:43:02,070 --> 00:43:04,104
