Rebirth of the Viking King

An hour later, when a group of bruised and swollen Viking men helped each other to the cabin to receive food, Emma searched the whole ship and finally discovered that Youm was missing.

"Where's Yum?" she asked Loki anxiously.

"Oh, he jumped into the sea." Loki picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, replying calmly. The braised deliciousness of the rich red sauce stimulated his taste buds. This was a memory from his previous life.

This familiar smell reminded him of his family in his previous life.

"Jump into the sea?! How could you allow him to do such a thing! How cold the water is! Where else can he swim in this barren sea besides our three ships?!"

"His injuries haven't healed yet!"

Emma shouted the last sentence almost at the top of her lungs. Along the way, she had always had the utmost respect for Loki, and this was the first time she had ever growled at him.

Loki rolled his eyes and looked at Emma. People tend to speak their truest thoughts when they are extremely angry. What surprised him was that in Emma's heart, she actually cared more about Youmu's body than the images recorded in his mind.

This couldn't help but make him look at the girl.

"I originally wanted to take him back to Constantinople, let him go to our Royal Academy of Sciences to receive formal education, study while recovering from illness, and stay away from these killings, but I didn't expect you to let him jump into the sea and swim away. "

"Don't you care about his life or death at all?!"

Haha, Loki smiled contemptuously and did not stop stuffing rice into his mouth.

"My eldest lady, we are a group of pirates, not bandits. The legs are on someone else's body. As someone said, I haven't been home for more than 50 years and want to go home. What can I do?"

"Is it possible that tying him up with a rope is a civilized method used by civilized people?! To say the least, you have seen Yom's abilities. Is he a person who can be tied up with a rope?"

"You are a bunch of lunatics!" Emma blushed, feeling like she was surrounded by a group of unreasonable weirdos, "I can't communicate with you at all!"

The Viking weirdos who could beat each other up for a few gold coins and still feel like family after the beating. The Bishop of Light who is able to release the miracle of the Holy Light, but is willing to hang out with a group of murderers, and the captain who is "sometimes crazy, sometimes normal, and sometimes has something in his head."

The girl snorted and slammed the door. Loki motioned to Aunt Favna to bring her a piece of food and bring it to the door. The best way to deal with an angry woman is to let herself cool down, because when the words angry and woman are combined, they change from human beings to another creature.

Loki lived two lifetimes without knowing how to communicate with these creatures.

"Pack more, don't let this ancestor go hungry!" Loki slowly filled the rice spoon in Aunt Favna's hand with a box of rice.

"This girl is a good person, but like all young masters and ladies from noble families, they imagine the world to be too beautiful and think that everything is under their control, haha."

"Being angry also consumes energy. I have to find a way to send this financial owner back to the Conqueror's Fortress."

"This meat ticket is worth three hundred 'gold dinar coins'!"

The next seven days were uneventful. The three ships traveled quickly through the Norwegian Sea, and were about to approach the "Yin Feather Plain" in the 77th province of Scandinavia. It was the land of the Viking kings, and the conqueror's fortress was on the seaside of the plain.

Although Emma is still very angry these days, she is not a yandere girl with a small belly. As a rational explorer. She knew that if it hadn't been for Loki, she would never have had the adventure of entering the bowels of a giant beast in her lifetime.

Moreover, she has obtained too much first-hand information about the old ruler "Leviathan". Even if Youmu disappears, with the diary and notes she has recorded in her hand, this year's chief explorer of the Royal Academy of Sciences will almost certainly Be yourself.

When I think about it, next year I will have more manpower, higher exploration authority, and priority use of research laboratories. Emma still chose to temporarily forgive this weird captain. Of course, taking a step back, when she wants to sail to farther continents in the future, she will need a captain as desperate as Loki.

In order to be able to continue scientific research, it is also necessary to maintain a mutually acceptable relationship.

In the past few days, she almost locked herself in the cabin and compiled notes day and night. Loki didn't bother to care about him and just sent Favna to deliver food to her regularly.

The warm sea breeze blew, and the outline of the Conqueror's Fortress appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This is a fiery red castle built in a black grassland. The land of the Viking kings, "Yinyuyuan", is named after the almost eternally lush black grass. This mutant plant contains a large amount of metal elements in its body.

Thousands of years ago, this land belonged to the "dragon herders" of the giant clan.

The animals that live in the black grassland will be hunted by the dragon after eating a large amount of this metal-containing plant. Dragon herders use this method to enable the dragons to absorb enough metal when eating, making their teeth and scales stronger.

The Conqueror's Bastion is a massive fiery red castle. From a distance, it looks like a huge dragon standing on the coast. Looking around, a giant black dragon falling onto the towering city wall is the most dazzling emblem of this castle.

Legend has it that the Conqueror's Fortress was built over three thousand years by giants from the "Dragon Shepherd" family and human slaves. Unknown what happened later, the dragon escaped from the giant's control, triggering a war that lasted for hundreds of years.

The reason why this black dragon died on the city wall is now unknown. But as thousands of years passed, its skin and bones had dried, and its hard scales had almost become one with the city wall.

Only the huge dragon head did not have any deformation due to the support of the skull.

Before dying, the giant dragon lay on the city wall, opened its mouth, and breathed fire at the city gate. At the time of death, this majestic movement was permanently fixed here.

Among the hunters in Hanshui Village, only Old Gore had ever entered this Viking capital. On the one hand, it is certainly because there is a majestic Tianduan Mountain Range between the river valley and Yinyuyuan, but on the other hand, the per capita consumption level of this city is beyond what the poor Hanshui Village Orion can afford.

When we were about to approach the shore, everyone gathered on the side of the boat. The dark red city wall stretches endlessly. In addition to the huge black dragon at the city gate, dragon remains and bones are still preserved in many other places on the city wall. The huge castle in the center of the city is made up of layers of red boulders. It is visually estimated that it is at least ten stories high.

In terms of the size of the city alone, it is at least 20 times the size of Storm's End.

"Haha! Come ashore quickly, I have to go to Tang Ren's shop to have a look! I always heard that their swordsman can fly with a sword, so I have to go and see it."

"Haha, swordsman? No matter how powerful a swordsman is, can he be as powerful as that big bird that summons thunder and lightning? During this trip, I, old Gore, saw something incredible!"

"What sword cultivator are you looking at! Buying a few boxes of fragrant powder for the mother-in-law at home and selling some candies made by Arabs to the children is the right thing!"

Returning from plunder with silver in their pockets was the happiest moment for the Vikings. Seeing that the dock was getting closer, Loki hung the saber-tooth king's flag given to him by his sister "Mehradin" on the bow of the ship. Flying this flag means that they are distinguished guests of the O'Sullivan family and will enjoy the best service wherever they go in the city.

Seeing the king's flag appear, the clerk in charge of the command on the dock immediately waved the flag to signal them to stop the ship. The ship was docked in the sea, and a dozen small long boats responsible for pulling it sailed out of the port. They threw out the hooks and towed the fleet into a wider pier. After Loki and the others disembarked, a guard wearing red armor came over, and behind him was a carriage pulled by eight horses.

"The Viking princess 'Mehlantin O'Sullivan' summoned the lord of Coldwater Village 'Loki Starrag', and the explorer of the Royal Academy of Constantinople 'Emma Waldorf' entered the palace to meet the saint! Let’s go now!”

The armored guard took out a scroll and read it, and the honor guard behind him raised his musical instrument and played it away. This "declaration" is quite Tang Dynasty style. But then the band clearly imitated French aristocrats.

Loki shook his head after seeing such a strange scene that combined Chinese and Western elements.

If a civilization that has never given birth to the flower of humanities wants to integrate into mainstream society, if it relies solely on "imitation", the Vikings obviously still have a long way to go.
