Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 44 2.2 Hanshui Village Cathedral

Give half of the silver coins you earned through hard work and risking your life to Blood Pigeon Town. From the bottom of his heart, Loki was unhappy.

But what can he do?

His village has no food reserves and is in dire straits. I will wait until next spring to go to the sea to salvage again. Of course, all the silver coins can be harvested, but by that time, at least 70% of the population of Hanshui Village will have starved to death.

He must try to fish out the silver coins this winter.

This is the only way.

To achieve this goal, it is not realistic to rely solely on the Viking hunters in Hanshui Village. Loki threw the silver coin into the sea thousands of meters away from the coastline. The seabed here was a hundred meters deep. Ordinary people would freeze to death if they could not reach the bottom of the sea in a mixture of ice and water at 0 degrees Celsius.

If he wanted to fish out the silver coins, he could only ask for help from the "Chosen One" in the town of Blood Pigeon next door. Doing this will certainly make you lose a lot of silver coins, but there are two benefits.

1. Pull an ally

Among the vassals in the river valley, Blood Pigeon Town is the largest town. It is also the number one combat force under Duke Bernard.

Blood Pigeon Town was dragged into the water by him. At least if Duke Bernard is held accountable in the future, it would be better for Blood Pigeon Town and Hanshui Village to be tied together than for Hanshui Village to be singled out and beaten.

2. Loki needs to borrow the help of Blood Pigeon Town to win over other forces and cultivate his own team.

The Vikings long believed there was no continent west of the North Sea. This concept was instilled in them by the rulers and was a means of rule they used.

The "Conqueror's Fortress" of Viking King "Sabertooth" O'Sullivan had shops from the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the earth was firmly moving towards globalization along the two "Silk Roads" of water and land. If in this case the lords still firmly believe that there is no continent west of the North Sea,

Then I'm afraid they are all fools.

**

Why didn't the Viking lords seek a westward passage? Loki thought there were two possibilities.

1. Beihai

In the process of heading west, the English are not scary, but the North Sea is scary.

The North Sea is more than three times as wide as the Baltic Sea.

This made crossing the sea more difficult for the Vikings who sailed simple long ships. Crossing the Baltic Sea eastward, 10 out of 10 ships will reach the opposite coast. But how many of the 10 longships that set out into the North Sea would reach the English Isles?

If you are unlucky, being wiped out in a storm is very likely to happen.

2. A small fortune means peace.

This generation of Viking lords had no intention of becoming kings and hegemons. Their goal was simply to rule the barren Scandinavia, and it was easy to accomplish this goal by ruling this barren land and occasionally marching eastward to plunder Slavic towns.

In this case, there is no need for them to pretend to be a family and gamble on the fortunes of the country, and put all their wealth and lives on being able to safely cross the North Sea.

In the vast ocean, if you are slightly less lucky at any point, you will lose everything!

However, throughout the dynasties, the hopes of the rulers were not necessarily the needs of the people.

In the minds of all feudal rulers, "suffering the common people" seems to be a low-cost choice. "People" are the most indispensable thing for feudal rulers. As long as men and women are together, whether rich or poor, they will give birth to more people

What does "people" mean?

But the people themselves don’t think so.

People throughout the ages have wanted to make money and let their children grow up in a wealthier and safer environment. When Loki revealed to the current mayor of Blood Pigeon Town, Hummel Blood Pigeon, the father of Blind Mountain Blood Pigeon, that there was a rich land west of the North Sea, he sneered and dismissed it.

However, when Loki took out an "Eller III Silver Coin" hidden in the sole of his shoe and told him that there were thousands more on the bottom of the sea, the old man couldn't sit still.

"As long as you help me catch it, I can give half of it to Blood Pigeon Town!"

After hearing these words, Mr. Hummel's blood pressure soared. He organized people to weave ropes overnight to break open the frozen sea. The next day, he personally led the team outside the port. Seeing how excited he looked, he even wanted to jump into the ice cave and go into the sea to fish for it.

At that moment, Loki immediately saw clearly that as long as he raised his arms, all these village elders would be willing to follow him to the rich English Islands to pan for gold.

What he needs is for Mr. Hummel to convey this news to the other village chiefs.

"There is a fertile land to the west of the Beihai. In that land, even the hairless boy from Hanshui Village can lead a dozen of his men to steal a large amount of gold and silver!"

The weakness of Hanshui Village meant that Luo Ji himself had little say. But the same words were different when Mr. Hummel said them! Next autumn, as long as he has a grasp of what the people want, he will not be afraid that Bernard will attack him again.

Returning to Hanshui Village, he once again rejected his enthusiastic sister-in-law's request to "warm up with a group exercise" and hurriedly escaped from her arms in the name of "inspection work."

He crawled out of the bath, put on his clothes and walked out of the castle, letting the icy cold wind blow against his chest. He had to use this cold wind to quickly delete his sister-in-law's warm body from his memory.

terrible!

I really don’t know how long my virginity can last if I keep fooling around like this. While shivering slightly from the cold, he quickly walked towards the east of the village.

Although it is already the twelfth lunar month of winter, this place is a busy mirror. The silver coins salvaged from the seabed a few days ago have been transferred to the villagers of Blood Dove Town to help him exchange for wood at Storm's End.

The holy bishop Jerome was directing Sanchi's work with a roll of papyrus. Several monks who came to Hanshui Village with Jerome enthusiastically helped. After a month of forced learning, they were able to communicate simply in Viking with the villagers in Hanshui Village.

The environment around you is the best language teacher. This saying is indeed true.

"I said, brother, it's almost done. Look, it's getting dark. Do you still want to build a church in three days? Impossible!" After a month, Jerome and Loki quickly became familiar with each other. stand up. Especially after he used holy light magic to help the injured Sanji and his son recover.

He immediately gained the friendship of all the villagers in Hanshui Village.

“If you work harder, the school can open earlier! Oh my god, you can’t even imagine what I saw yesterday!

"A pair of brothers practiced martial arts with swords in the narrow cajon, and a five-year-old child followed suit with a steel knife! Several times they almost cut the child!"

"That's not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that after the two people competed, their bodies were covered with wounds. They dripped blood from the wounds into the cup, mixed it with strong liquor and drank it together! Not only did they drink it themselves, but they also gave it to the children! He said he wanted to have a grandson soon!"

"That kid who's not even as old as you is already thinking about how to be a grandfather! My Holy Lord! I traveled around with my teacher, and I saw a lot of barbarians, but none of them were like you Vikings. horrible!"

Jerome looked disgusted, but Loki laughed and patted his shoulder hard. He still remembered what Ahai, the "Learned One", said to him before he died.

“You go into darkness and find light.”

(This is true. I have indeed found the light)

Loki looked up at the church under construction. This building cost him one-third of his silver coins and was the largest building in Hanshui Village except Hanshui Castle.

The entire church battlefield covers an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters, with one underground floor and three above ground floors. The church is equipped with classrooms, dining halls, chapels, monks' dormitories, etc. The specifications are completely in accordance with the standard chapel required by the Holy See.

Even for the 12 saints required in the church, Jerome drew a sample for the carpenter Sanchi and asked him to carve it carefully.

Loki approved all of Jerome's requests. In his opinion, the villagers had nothing to do in the winter. Instead of letting them get drunk every day, they should enter the mission school to learn the culture, writing and mathematical algorithms of the Western Continent. Therefore, this building must reflect its importance.

If he, the village leader, doesn't pay attention to education, how can he fool the villagers under his command into picking up textbooks?

"I heard that you kicked out the woman I assigned you again? This is not the right thing to do!" Loki whispered in his ear, "Those rough Slavic men are all stupid and disgusting. But their women are tall, slender, and snow-white, and they are all top-notch!”

"The other monks and brothers are very comfortable every night! Why do you still look like an old scholar? You said that no gods in the sky can see you in my remote land. Stop being so tense!"

"It's okay to just turn off the lights at night and just kill time!"

The population of Hanshui Village is really too small. When he was poor, he might still need birth control, but now that he was rich, he wished every male in the village would take action immediately.

The women given to other people were just that. The Slavic girl given to Jerome was personally selected by Loki for him. She has big breasts, a slim waist, and long legs, and her face and figure are all those of a standard model.

Jerome turned his head in disdain and pushed Loki's big face aside.

"hehe!"

"Every night I don't have enough time to copy teaching materials for the children! Why don't you have time to spend with a woman? I pushed that woman away because she snored like a pig when she fell asleep! It interfered with my work!"

"If you really have no place to sleep because of the shortage of housing, please send someone who can sleep more quietly at night! It's better than that Slavic woman whose voice, body odor, and physical desires are like animals!"

"You are awesome"

Loki was speechless, really not knowing what to say.
