The Servant Boy's Command, Verdal

Nord-Trønderlag · Norway · Site of legend

A single sharp word sent the Evil One off on a seven-year errand.

A farm in Verdal was said to own a black book. A servant boy read from it and the Evil One appeared, asking his bidding. The boy answered curtly and sent him away. Only seven years later did he return, having searched through seven parishes, with no more than a scrap on a pipe-stem.
