Rebirth of the Viking King

"There is actually a widespread rumor in the English Isles that Hummel Blood Pigeon was not the first Viking to cross the North Sea westward!"

"As early as the late autumn of 2 years ago, a pagan robbery incident was reported at the 'Lintisfar Abbey' in Northumbria. 10 'tall blond gods' crossed the North Sea in some unknown way. Robbed a monastery and got into a Chinese ship returning from the North Sea.

This should be you! "

Loki looked at the old man in front of him who broke the bread into small pieces and stuffed it into his mouth, and felt an extraordinary calmness. He sat here quietly, not begging for his life, not talking about the situation of the war. The two of them seemed like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years and were reminiscing about the past.

Not to mention this man's reputation in the outside world, Loki had never seen this calmness stemming from the depths of his soul since he time traveled.

The 9th century AD was a completely different human civilization from the 21st century. In the 21st century, everyone knows that in 10 years or even 5 years, their lives will reach a new level.

However, AD 800 was the beginning of the Dark Middle Ages.

In the hundreds of years of chaotic war that followed, all the people knew that their lives had not improved at all compared with their ancestors.

As long as the lords sound the horn of war, they will take up arms and fight for the lords who have nothing to do with them. Thousands of years ago, the beautiful humanistic spirit and democratic ideas of ancient Greece and Rome have all disappeared and will never be found again.

Everyone is forging ahead in despair.

Therefore, all people born in this era have a look of deep worry on their faces.

This is true for the poor, it is true for the nobles, and it is true for the royal family.

There was only this old man who had just been freed from his shackles and was eating white bread one bite at a time. He sat here, the midday sun shining in from the window, and he was as relaxed as a rag in the sun.

This calmness is not an act.

"I'm right." Loki immediately gave up the original negotiation plan and planned to talk to the old man in a gentler way. "There's nothing wrong with staying at home. Why don't you go out to sea occasionally!"

Ulysses Elam recovered considerably from his hypoglycemic malaise after eating half a loaf of bread. The two people in the conversation suddenly fell into a brief silence. For a while, no one spoke.

After the old man had eaten this simple breakfast, he moved his wrist joints slightly, stood up and looked out the window of the meeting hall.

Within the city, the Mercian craftsmen who had been recruited by the army into Wanghai Fortress lined up neatly. After they had all their iron tools removed, they lined up neatly and walked towards the gate of the castle.

The old man nodded, which seemed to confirm his guess. He walked back to the opposite side of Loki and bent down to sit down.

After hesitating for a long time, he spoke slowly.

"When a man has lived seventy-three years, as I have, he has seen a lot of things."

"Young man, I have seen ancient creatures wandering in the fields. They were hunted by the gods hidden in human skins, until the last one in the group died miserably under the butcher's knife."

"I have seen gods not only fight among themselves in order to spread their faith, but also enter the brains of humans and trick them into killing innocent people of their own kind."

"Everyone is dead, but they are still alive"

After saying this, the old man stretched out an old finger and pointed at Loki's cheek.

"I've seen people like you before."

"You are a human being and you are not a human being!"

Loki watched intently. He originally thought that the old man had somehow discovered that he belonged to the bloodline of the "Scarlet Creator" or the "Viking Ancestors". However, the old man's next words shocked him so much that he stood up from his seat.

"You should come from the turbulence of time!"

Although it is not yet clear what the "turbulent flow of time" in Elan's mouth refers to, he has a vague feeling that it may be related to his status as a "traveler".

The biggest secret about Loki is not the bloodline of the ancient god, but the fact that he was a human being in his second life and stored a lot of knowledge in his mind that did not belong to this world.

In the sinking city, he was able to kill Old Walder with nothing, relying on the mother tongue "Chinese" in his brain from the previous life.

At Lindisfar Abbey, he was able to rob a large amount of gold and silver and then successfully escape. This was inseparable from the "English" he had learned in his previous life and the negotiation skills he had honed from working in international companies throughout his life.

In the same way, in the shocking battle with Swain Gonk the winter before last, the 190 villagers of Hanshui Village were able to resist the encirclement and suppression of 500 Viking shield and axemen. They also relied on the use of black powder and tactical skills. Reasonably arranged.

Not to mention the subsequent killing of Leviathan and the four-party battle last winter. Without the memories accumulated in his previous life, it would have been impossible for him to sit on the position of Duke of the River Valley.

"I have not met you personally, but ancient history books have clear records of intruders from the Lost Realm."

"Everyone who has been swept into this land by the turbulence of time and space thinks that they are the 'Chosen One'. They feel that there is a lot of magical knowledge stored in their minds. In their eyes, it seems that all the primitive things on this continent are The residents are all fools.”

"Young man, I dare say that you must have thought this too, right?"

Having been seen through his biggest secret, Loki's heart was filled with twists and turns.

At this moment, he thought about picking up an ax and silencing the old guy directly, or about tying him up and continuing to ask him all the secrets he knew about the time traveler.

His palm stayed on the handle of the hatchet at his waist, clenching and unclenching it at least three times.

How did the old man know that he was a time traveler?

To be honest, if they have a basic concept of the word "travel", this is really not difficult to do.

First of all, the "ancient people" on this continent have already known the importance of intelligence.

After obtaining a sufficient amount of silver coins, the first reaction of the illiterate Vikings in Blood Pigeon Town was to use the money to establish an intelligence network. Not to mention the "Volcan Cult" where all the members make a living by selling information.

As an ordinary member of the Vikings, he builds ships, sails, builds baths, and renovates residential buildings in Hanshui Village. Later, he even did such weird things as "speaking English without a teacher" and "speaking Chinese without a teacher".

It’s not surprising at all that someone with an eye sees the fishiness in this.

He originally thought that he was the only one, but he learned from Elan that there seemed to be many people with his status in history. In this case, the matter is not serious enough to require him to silence himself immediately.

Loki finally decided to sit down and continue the unfinished conversation.

"You are actually a very good guesser." The old man smiled slightly and straightened his old waist against the back of the seat. "You can't even bear to kill the residents of this city, so of course you won't kill me."

"Haha, this is also the biggest flaw of you people from the 'turbulence of time and space'! You always think that you can break the rules of this era with the new ideas in your mind."

“But with all due respect, you are too arrogant and too young!

Such a result will only lead the tribe to destruction faster! "
