Rebirth of the Viking King
Chapter 2 1.2 General map of the world
Loki was not a top student in his previous life, but thanks to Chi Country's comprehensive nine-year compulsory education, he still clearly understood the meaning of these two English sentences!
The men around him looked at him hesitantly, but Loki carefully helped the old missionary up. Looking at his face carefully, he found that he was an old man between 40 and 50 years old. He is only 1.7 meters tall, with brown hair and black eyes.
In terms of appearance alone, he was very different from the tall and pale Slavs in this land.
The missionary was wearing a thin linen cloth. He was unarmed, except for a thick book that he held tightly in his arms that looked valuable. Loki grabbed it and found that the book looked very old from the outside.
The cover is greasy and stained black sheepskin, and the inner pages are all made of fragile papyrus. After a few shakes, the whole book seemed to be blown to pieces by the cold wind! However, what caught his attention even more was the line of traditional regular script written on the cover of this ancient book.
A general map of the world?
There are three small words at the end: Volume 15.
After opening it, several vivid maps were outlined with gold powder and silver thread on the inner pages of the ancient book!
Loki was shocked.
In this era without printing, all books had to be drawn by hand. Among all hand-painted books, the most precious ones are these travel notes that record the travel routes of previous generations and what they saw and heard along the way.
Cartography is a rather profound knowledge. In an era when humans could not fly into the sky like birds, it was very difficult to completely and accurately map the coastline! There are several parchment manuscripts drawn by wanderers in the ancestral home in Hanshui Village, but those things are more like a bunch of vague directions made of arrows than maps.
The map drawn in this tattered ancient book is quite different. Although these maps are only the corners of a continent, the coastline has been accurately drawn on this partial corner! Even the islands, the fish giants on the sea, and the products in different areas on the land are clearly marked!
The old priest struggled to get back the ancient book in Loki's hand, but Loki kicked him to the ground without mercy.
"From now on, I ask and you tell! Otherwise I don't mind sending you to see God right away!"
"You actually speak English! Oh my god, I actually met a barbarian who can communicate with me in English!" The old priest exclaimed, but a slap from Loki brought him back to consciousness again.
"Remember, I'm not a savage!"
"First question, what is your name?"
"Sir, please call me Father Ward. Can you please return the book in your hand to me first?"
"This is a map drawn by a group of sword-flying 'sword cultivators' from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who flew into the sky with flying swords! The text inside is in Tang Dynasty, you can't understand it!"
Loki was the first barbarian that Old Walder had seen with the word "civilization" in mind. After saying his name, he temporarily forgot his fear and wanted to take back his book.
"Get out of here!" Seeing the old priest stretching out his big dry hand to grab the atlas, Loki kicked him to the ground again.
"Are there any missionaries like you around?"
"No, I'm the only one left, everyone else is dead!" Speaking of his dead companions, confusion and fear appeared in Walder's eyes again. His trembling hands involuntarily grasped the wooden cross on his chest, and at this moment, Loki was surprised to find that his dark gray coarse cloth robe was full of dried blood marks.
The cold and ice masked the putrid taste of blood. But the dark red blood clots clung to the clothes, turning the soft linen into cardboard.
"Where did you come from? Why did you come to the land of the Slavs?"
In late autumn, this man was still wearing a thin summer robe. After pulling him out of the barn, although his cheeks and ears were red from the cold, he showed no signs of shiver caused by the cold.
Only a dead person would still block the body's instinctive warning in such a cold environment.
This is not normal.
"On the order of the Pope, I led the Templar Knights across the sea to find the evil temple left by the "Old Lord" in the world."
"Use the map drawn in this book?" Loki looked away from his blood-stained robe and stared into his black eyes.
"Yes."
"Looking at your virtues, you can't find it?"
"No"
"On the icy beach of Murmansk, we encountered a giant monster left over from prehistoric times! Everyone died, except for me who reluctantly rode an old horse and wandered aimlessly to find this remote place. village.”
Loki nodded. Haha, indecisive, mysterious creature. These eight characters were particularly useful in the Middle Ages.
"Last question are you from England?"
The previous questions are all foreshadowing and idle talk. This question is the answer that Loki wants to know most.
Before traveling through time, his knowledge of Eastern European history was limited to a brief knowledge. But even so, he also knew that the Vikings made their fortune by raiding England.
However, almost all Viking lords insisted on one truth: there is only the sea and no land west of the North Sea! Loki didn't know how different the world map in this plane was from what he saw in his previous life.
I finally caught a tongue today. He first needs to know whether there is an English Island in this plane! As long as Britain exists, it means that there is indeed land west of Scandinavia!
After mastering this information, you only need to build a few boats and go west from the North Sea to a new hunting ground that is much richer than Eastern Russia.
No need to be assigned or take a commission, the entire hunting ground is my own!
"Yes, my lord, I come from the Kingdom of Northumbria in the western part of the Isles of England."
Hehe, Loki clapped his hands, stuffed the ancient book into his shoulder bag, and showed a satisfied smile.
"Brothers, hurry up and search for supplies. We will call it a day and return in the afternoon!"
"Boss, why?!"
"Yes, there are still three days before the return date announced by the Duke. We can definitely reach the next village and make a lot of money from him!"
Vikings were born warriors. In their belief, only warriors who die on the battlefield can ascend to the Hall of Valor after death and drink wine with the gods.
For every Viking who went out to plunder, it was a great honor to die on the battlefield with a giant axe. None of them are afraid of death, but Loki, a deep-rooted atheist, does not think so.
Recharge your batteries and seek development. Every Chiguo person has a deep understanding of these eight characters. They have used three generations of unremitting efforts to witness with their own eyes a poor country with nothing to become the world's largest country!
All of this is not given by illusory gods, but is the result of the hard-working Chinese people's hard work with wisdom, diligence, blood and sweat!
There are only about 170 people left in the village. The looting this winter has killed 10 young laborers in his village. There are less than 40 hunters in the village who can take up arms to fight.
If ten more people die in the next battle, how will they go hunting next year or participate in the next robbery will become a problem. Moreover, he had captured an English missionary and had obtained the most precious spoils of this robbery.
I have a tongue and a map written in Chinese.
Next year, I will find a way to lead my people across the North Sea to the west and sail west to the English Islands to rob those truly wealthy nobles. In the last life, these bastards used opium to knock on the door of the poor and weak Qing country.
In this life, I will plow your ancestors hard with axes and fire, so that you will understand what it means to come from "the bandit from the west!"
