Rebirth of the Viking King

The whole city fell into darkness, and Loki did not dare to light the torch.

"From now until we leave this city"

"No one can speak, you know! Can't say a word!"

Loki said to everyone with a serious face.

"Although we have been working hard for several hours, for the gods, the night may have just begun! Once we make a noise and wake up these terrible things, we are afraid that we will turn into meat paste in a few seconds!"

In fact, he didn't need to say these words, everyone around him understood them. After confirming that everyone clearly understood what he meant, Loki turned his head, and the five of them stepped on the soft soil and began to approach the dark city.

After advancing for about two kilometers in the dark, Loki was already close to the edge of the underground city. When he touched the first building with his palm, he could even feel his heart beating loudly.

This is an ancient temple that has existed for unknown ages. Just touching the mottled stone bricks gives you a very timeless feeling.

All the fires in the city have been extinguished. After careful examination, he could only see the dark outline of the building. It is visually estimated that its height is at least seventy or eighty meters. The five people clung to the wall and moved around the corners of the huge temples one after another.

When passing these temples, they could hear strange whispers coming from inside the temples and the sound of chewing food. The unknown monsters in the room communicate in a language that sounds extremely primitive. Although there were faint firelights in several windows, Loki did not dare to look up at all.

His only goal is to enter the huge black pyramid in the center of the city. He didn't understand where his obsession came from, but what he knew was that if he entered Treasure Mountain and returned empty-handed, he would live in regret for the rest of his life.

One temple after another is shaped like a mountain, and the smallest one is as big as the Tianhe Stadium. After passing through several temples, Loki looked around and felt that several people should have gradually approached the center of the city from the periphery of the city.

By now, they had been walking in the city for nearly 2 hours.

Closer to the center of the city, the architectural style becomes different again. Many temples rely on slender columns pulled up from the ground, making them look slender and slender. There is no dirt on the ground in the city center. Instead, there are roads paved with black stone slabs. There are strange trees surrounding the road, and it can be seen that it is this tree-like creature that supports the dome of the underground city.

Over the long years, they will grow taller and taller, and eventually they will even pierce the black "tortoise shell" of the dome and emerge above the ground. The strange trees that several people saw in the strange mountains on the surface should be the spikes emerging from these long pillars.

Near the center of the city, more fire appeared in the windows of the temple. The Loki 5 held their breath. They didn't know if this city under curfew had functional departments such as the "City Defense Patrol Team", so they only dared to move in the shadow of the building.

The flat road paved with black slates points to the black pyramid in the city center. This is another long trek that takes nearly 2 hours.

During nearly four hours of walking, not a single person appeared on the city’s roads.

The closer he got, the more Loki could feel the enormity of this pyramid! This is a huge creation that is not inferior to the Pyramid of Giza in terms of size. The two huge braziers burning at the door are the only sources of light in the city.

When a few people finally stood in front of the pyramid, although everyone was dripping with sweat, everyone's eyes were shining with excitement.

(My dear Miss Emma, ​​I have given you this blessing. If you don’t send me 10 boxes of gold bars after returning to Constantinople, you will be sorry for all the trouble I have put in)

Of course, Loki just muttered this sentence in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.

There are nearly a hundred steps leading from the ground to the entrance. The height of each step of these steps is about one meter. What followed was a rather tiring climb. Simply climbing is not too tiring, but it is very difficult to climb without making any noise and hide in the shadows the whole time.

"Peep quietly! We are really tired. We can take a rest in the shadows before continuing to climb!" Loki came over and said to Lawrence and Emma.

Lawrence is just an ordinary teacher in a church school. The "Holy Light Pathway" will not transform his body in any way, so he will inevitably feel very tired while carrying the heavy wooden cross all the way.

As for Emma, ​​although this explorer has been traveling for a long time, she is determined not to put the papyrus sketches on the top of the cliff together with the sled dogs, and must carry them with her.

Therefore, her load is no less than that of Lawrence. Youmu had repeatedly expressed that he would help his sister carry it, but out of distrust of this furry child, Emma did not hand him the precious fruits of her labor.

"Mr. Village Chief, do you think there is something hidden in this hall?" Old Gore, who was sweating profusely, leaned into Loki's ear, excitement hidden in his expression. When Loki returned to the village, Sartre and his companions had already shown off their "glorious deeds" of sacking Lindisfar Monastery to everyone in the village.

At that time, old Gore heard it and was anxious in his heart.

Forty-two years old, at this age, he is already an out-and-out old man among the Vikings. His youth is long gone, and when he was young, apart from picking up a hammer and fighting a few Slavs, he couldn't even say anything worth showing off.

He was very envious of Sartre's ability to have such a remarkable adventure at the age of 20. At that time, he never imagined that his opportunity would come so quickly.

"Mr. Village Chief, do you think there might be something in this hall?" Old Gore rubbed his fingers excitedly. This was the "money counting" movement taught to the villagers by Loki. This gesture meant shiny silver coins.

"Haha, even if there is, how can we carry it back to the ship! Let's not talk about the ship. Simply thinking about how to climb up the three-hundred-meter-high snake skin is a huge difficulty."

Well, too!

Old Gore scratched the blond hair on the top of his head. Seeing the silver armband on his arm, he felt that his trip so far had not been a loss at least. After a short rest for half an hour, everyone continued to climb the tall steps.

The gate of the temple is right in front of you.
