Rebirth of the Viking King

The next morning, Sanchi and his two sons returned with the anchor. Three hours later, in a hidden cave by the sea. He fitted an anchor to one of the two barques.

At this moment, Loki felt a hint of tears. After traveling through time, it took him 20 years of unremitting efforts to finally get his own boat, which actually made him feel more satisfied than when he had paid off his mortgage in his previous life.

From this moment on, he was finally able to call himself a Viking, rather than a farmer, a hunter or a mercenary of a lord.

He was accompanied by eleven hunters from Hanshui Village. These people are not the most skilled hunters in the village, but they are the most loyal childhood friends in the village to Loki. They grew up together with Loki and formed a deep relationship during more than 20 years of growth.

Whether he is hunting giant bears and wolves in the forest, or crossing eastward to the territory of the Slavs, he can safely leave his back to this group of reliable friends. Because of this, they were completely surprised when they saw this behemoth that was several times larger than an ordinary longship.

"Boss, is this our own ship?"

"My God, are you really the reincarnation of a god? How could you create such a thing?"

The Vikings' poor adjective library could not find any good words to describe the huge three-masted ship in front of them. Especially when they entered the cabin, they found that the ship could accommodate fifty people on the upper and lower floors, and their jaws dropped to the ground in surprise.

In the early 8th century AD, the Viking longships already represented the most developed ship design technology on the entire European continent. However, the longships were ultimately of the same design as the canoes driven by the Indians. They had only seen the giant ships that could be layered up and down like pavilions from the merchants who came from the Eastern Land and the Tang Dynasty.

It was cutting-edge craftsmanship that they couldn't even imagine.

"That's the basic situation." Loki said straight to the point, "Today we will only meet briefly. Time is tight. I want to find a route to the English Islands in the West before the ocean freezes in winter."

"I have thought about crazy things like loading up the whole village of Orions and heading west to gamble on the national fortune, but to be honest, this is not realistic. There are too many accidents that can happen on the sea, and every detail One mistake is enough to kill everyone.”

"At that time, there were only lonely widows and young children in the village. I can't even imagine how they would spend this winter."

Loki's words made the companions around him nod. At any time, a calm leader is more reliable than a hot-headed man.

Loki is the kind of village leader who makes people feel at ease.

"So, that's what I planned."

"To operate this ship, at least 10 people need to work in shifts day and night. This time I will only take 11 of you, and we will prepare rations for the 20th. We will only sail on the sea for ten days after we go to sea. If we have not found the west side after ten days, Once we reach land, we will return to the village.”

"Store food for the winter, and then bring more food with you when spring comes next year and continue westward."

"In this way, even if Lord Bernard is targeting us, we can just sail the boat around on the sea, and before we have time to report it, we can also prevaricate it!"

**

Loki had never had any intention of serving Lord Bernard for a long time. If you report it to the lord, let alone whether he will directly confiscate the ship that Loki worked so hard to build.

Even if his brain cramps were not confiscated, Loki would place a group of monitors every time he went to sea. They only have one mouth that is responsible for eating and do nothing else. After returning, the Duke will take 70% of the proceeds from his robbery!

It was by relying on this method that the five dukes under the Viking kings firmly ruled this land for hundreds of years. They plundered the private property of their vassals in a near-plundering manner, thereby plunging them into permanent poverty.

The nobles simply could not raise an army capable of resisting them.

Even with the ships, Loki was not naive enough to think that his current subordinates were powerful enough to confront the lord.

Bernard had more than a thousand Viking shield and axemen under his command. But the powerful ‘Chosen One’ is close to fifty.

And Hanshui Village is 0.

Not only that, there are only about forty people in Hanshui Village who can take up arms to fight. The combat strength ratio is 1:24, and a head-on battle with the Duke cannot even be called "beating an egg against a stone." This is like a bottle of mineral water trying to extinguish the sun, completely unrealistic.

If you want to go to sea, there will always be a time.

Almost every autumn, Duke Bernard commanded the fleet to sail eastward to the Baltic Sea, heading to Slavic lands to invade towns and plunder. He could take advantage of this unattended stall to set sail quietly.

It only takes a few trips back and forth, but if you have money, you still worry about not being able to develop an army?

After practicing martial arts last night, he lay in bed and thought for a long time. Throughout the history of the European continent, Western Europe has been a symbol of civilization since ancient Greece. The Anglo-Saxons at this time must have been more civilized than the Vikings.

This time, 11 people went to sea to explore. If they were lucky enough to land on the English Islands in the west, there would be no need to think about it. It is a great achievement that these 11 people can stay on the shore to guard the ship.

According to time deduction, the Chi Kingdom at this time should still be in the Tang Dynasty. All the island countries near the Mediterranean made their fortunes by sailing trade. If there was a bustling market on the English Islands, there would be Chinese shops in the market that symbolized the pinnacle of human civilization at this time.

The "Silk Road" trade belt along the Eurasian continent has been opened since the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC), which has a history of nearly a thousand years.

Although he is on the verge of being penniless, he still owns a copy of "The General Map of Kanyu in the World". Although this well-made "set collection of fantasy novels" is incomprehensible, as a hand-drawn book, it is extremely beautifully produced. If you find a wealthy Tang person, you should be able to easily sell it for a large sum of gold and silver.

He needs to sell the book to buy an item he needs urgently right now: a compass.

At this time, only the Tang people in the world had mastered the technology of making compasses (the magnetic needle was invented during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, 713-741 AD). If only I could get a compass combined with the world map in my mind.

He will become the Columbus of this era and will never be lost at sea again!

In addition, the legend that Tang people can fly with swords is spread everywhere in the Viking land. Although it is not yet known whether this is true or not, if you can get a secret book like "Introduction to Immortal Cultivation" It's better than entering the Hall of Valor and drinking the poison that you don't know is true or false.

1. Sell the compass

2. See with your own eyes whether the Tang people in this life are as magical as the Vikings said.

The first time I went to sea, there were only two purposes.
