Why did Ashenladd say Thors had a "normal death"? What does that mean exactly?
Vinland Saga
He didn't want Floki to know how he died maybe?
Why would he do that? It's not like he knew Thors beforehand or anything. He shouldn't have any reason to hide anything from Floki. Askeladd has already been shown to be dishonorable and will use any nasty tactic to beat his opponent.
But clearly he respected Thors and wanted him to lead them, he wasn't joking about that.
He didn't want to tell Floki additional information. If Floki found out about Thorfinn he would wanted his death too and Askeladd didn't want to see that boy die.
What else was he supposed to say?
>Man Thors really fucked me up but luckily i took his son hostage and had archers shoot him
>If Floki found out about Thorfinn he would wanted his death too
I'm pretty sure Floki already knew about Thorfinn existing. Not exactly like he was hiding while he was on Iceland
he's a faggot
Askeladd is a realist, death is just death to him, whether some dude died fighting 50 guys or he tripped and broke his neck.
It's all the same shit and this glory of battle crap nonsense is garbage
but he didn't know Thorfinn was on the boat and watched his dad die
