Rebirth of the Viking King

A pile of gold coins was poured onto the round table, forming a mountain peak. The remaining empty space on the round table can no longer accommodate bets that are too large or too heavy.

Gustav looked at Loki with a smile, he could already smell victory.

In the Middle Ages, there was no online shopping and no delivery of goods. Going to a bustling metropolis to buy luxury goods carefully made by craftsmen is a unique life experience for high-level nobles. Ordinary nouveau riche cannot afford such luxurious social behaviors as "travel".

Because in this era, fulfillment requires not only gold and silver, but also an army to protect oneself.

The nouveau riche only have gold coins in their hands. Their disadvantage in this bet is too obvious. No matter what Gustav throws to the round table in the next round, Loki can no longer throw gold coins.

Because there is no room on the round table.

After tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Gustav called his female companion and took off a necklace dotted with several gemstones from the Gypsy girl's smooth neck.

The design of this necklace is quite modern. A gold chain is connected in series with pendants carved from seven or eight different stones such as diamonds, emeralds, jade, rubies, obsidian, etc.

Ruby was carved into a delicate apple, emerald was carved into a layered rapeseed, diamond was carved into a flying angel, and obsidian was carved into a gargoyle with wings on its back. Each tiny pendant is only about the size of a fingernail, but it is lifelike and very delicate.

"Well, this is the craftsmanship of Mr. Simedes, the 'bone craftsman' in Paris. As a great family inherited from the Principality of Ramses, Mr. Simedes' craftsmanship is so amazing every time!"

Lao Chaofeng took the necklace in his hand and gave his judgment after just one glance.

"Mr. Simedis only makes three crafts every year. This necklace cannot be bought simply by relying on 'money'. In many cases, it also requires a lot of luck."

After pondering for a moment, Lao Chaofeng placed the necklace on the mountain made of gold coins.

"I'll make the price, 1,100 gold dinar coins!"

After hearing this offer, Loki, whose blood was boiling because of beating Tifa, had completely calmed down. Only then did he realize that he had walked onto the card table without knowing anything about it.

But now, the opponent has finished playing his cards, and it is his turn to make the next move.

His fingers touched the "Jade Seal of the Kingdom" in the package, and at the same time he narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Tang court not far away. This old man has fair hair and a boyish face, and looks quite a bit immortal. But after seeing the face of shopkeeper Luo in Yorkshire, he knew very well what these Tang merchants were hiding under their exquisite skin.

Even if this traditional jade seal is not real, it must be an extraordinary imitation if it can be included in the Obsidian Golden Pagoda. Throwing this thing on the table can indeed crush everything, but what happens after that?

It is almost certain that he will be targeted by these Tang people!

Although the Vikings were said to be brave and fierce in battle, in the eyes of the Tang people, they were still just a group of long-haired savages who believed in the barbarian god. On the other hand, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not respect ghosts and gods, and continued to practice the immortality techniques inherited from hundreds of schools of pre-Qin people.

If you are targeted by them, you will have provoked a group of extremely powerful enemies!

There was silence in the brightly lit hall. Hundreds of melon-eaters who crowded here and watched held their breaths at the same time. Even the O'Sullivan siblings sitting across the round table were interested in seeing what Loki could do. What kind of treasure did you pull out?

He touched the jade seal in the package, feeling the smooth touch, and finally left the 10-centimeter-square treasure seal in the package.

A man can bend and stretch. He can lose these three hundred gold coins, which are just external possessions.

But if he exposes the imperial seal and is targeted by these snake-like and insidious Tang people, this problem will not be solved at all with his current ability.

Seeing Loki reaching into his bag and wiping it for a long time before finally stretching out an empty hand, the crowd onlookers once again let out a rather disappointing cry. They seemed to have anticipated the outcome of this competition.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that just when Loki opened his mouth to admit defeat, Yuna next to her took out an exquisite wooden sign from the inside of her plump breast pocket.

This wooden sign is no more than the size of a palm, and its entire body is made of warm ironwood. It looked ordinary on the outside, but the two big characters engraved on it made everyone around them take a breath of air involuntarily.

The two words engraved on the wooden sign are: foggy duck.

This turned out to be a fiefdom token!

**

In the Middle Ages, there was no "house deed" that represented the ownership of land and houses. However, the Viking nobles had permanent inheritance rights to the castles under their names. They could pass the castles and villages under their names to their direct children after their death.

The certificate is this "fiefdom token".

In Scandinavia, the Viking royal family was usually busy with various government affairs and had no spare time to get to know the more than thirty vassals in the six major provinces. Of course, a large part of the reason was due to the small-scale battles that often broke out between these vassals. Every day, every hour, old vassals may die in battle and new vassals appear.

And communication in the Middle Ages was very slow.

For this reason, the Viking royal family only knew the fiefdom tokens most of the time, but not the lords. Entering the imperial city wearing a fiefdom token will automatically be regarded as the owner of this land by the Viking King.

Therefore, the fiefdom token represented a city in the eyes of the Viking king.

"Mrs. Starrag, are you sure you want to press on your fief?"

It was not the Tang Dynasty Chaofeng who asked this question, but the Viking King Ivar O'Sullivan sitting opposite him. In his memory, the leader of Foggy Duck Town seemed to be a bad old man with dark skin and black face. He didn't know when Loki's wife became the leader.

But the fiefdom token in front of me is undoubtedly real.

"No, no, no, she didn't mean that!" Loki waved his hands in shock. His heart was pounding, and his hands even trembled slightly. There are many things he can lose, including gold and silver, buildings and ships, imperial seals and even this Xuanyuan Sword! These things are external to him.

But he can't afford to lose the land and people of Wuya Town!

What's more, when Yuna took out the "Fiefdom Token" from her arms, he stared at Gustav and found a trace of imperceptible excitement flashing in the corner of his eyes!

There is no doubt that Foggy Duck Town is worth tens of thousands of dollars. But when a town joined the gambling game, its opponent showed no signs of panic!

His intuition told him that Gustave had a bigger trump card.

But when he said this, it was too late. Yuna bit her silver teeth and threw the token directly onto this small golden mountain.

"Rocky Starrag is my husband, and I choose to advance and retreat together with my husband!"

Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. What's more, intermarriage among nobles is essentially an alliance for the benefit of the family. No marriage for profit will involve personal feelings.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yuna has no need to participate in this bet. Even if Loki loses completely, she can still sit firmly in the position of lord, drink wine and entertain the cowherd, and pretend that none of this has happened.

But for Loki, she even gave up her position as lord?

It is the dream of many Vikings to have such a lady who will follow them to death. The melon-eaters all cast envious glances at Loki, but Loki himself covered his forehead in pain.

Only he knew that he was once again forced into a corner by this cheap wife.

Gustav, who was opposite, laughed loudly. He stood up tremblingly, and then took out an identical waist badge from his arms!

There are three words written on this belt: Storm's End!
