Rebirth of the Viking King

After a long period of thinking, Loki decided to travel with Sartre and Jerome to Yorkshire.

There is only one reason: Jerome's personal combat ability is the highest among all monks.

Not only that, he didn't show any panic or fear after being knocked unconscious by Loki. He just leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and silently recited the prayers in the Gospel.

Loki clearly remembered those prayers. When he held the broad sword, as soon as the prayers came out, the seemingly ordinary broad sword immediately became as terrifying as the Six Meridians Divine Sword. If it weren't for the guy's poor fighting skills, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose in this battle.

His calmness that originated from the depths of his soul also made Loki feel quite uneasy. As the only chosen one in the team, he felt that only by taking this person with him could the other brothers guarding the monastery be safer.

When it was getting dark, the two of them put on the monks' robes from Lindisfar Abbey and put on the monks' hoods. Jerome's hands were tied, and Sartre pulled the rope on his arm and carried a box of silver coins and the exquisite cross onto the carriage.

After whispering a few instructions, the two drove the carriage out of the town under the cover of deep dusk. When passing the gate of the town, two guards saw them driving the carriage of Lindisfar Abbey and opened the door for them to let them through without asking.

When he saw the big bulges behind their heads, Loki couldn't help but smile.

"Boss, it's just like you said, they didn't make any noise at all!" Sartre's words were full of admiration. In the few years he has been with Loki, he has increasingly felt that in many cases, simply using brute force may not yield the greatest benefits.

Three years ago, my father had thought about moving his family to Storm's End, Lord Bernard's fiefdom. Ahai, the "Learner", said through divination that if they left, they would regret it in the future.

Looking back now, it was indeed the right decision not to leave at that time.

Walking out of the town, the sky and earth are already a deep blue. The outskirts of the town are dotted with wooden villages and patches of farmland. This kind of scene cannot be seen at all in Hanshui Village.

Because the Viking land was too barren.

Scandinavia is the poorest and coldest place in the Western Continent. Snow falls in Coldwater Village for six months of the year, and this is the southernmost location in Viking territory.

After all, they still have a few acres of thin farmland outside the village for farming. The "Northern Tundra" located in the far north of the peninsula has only four months of spring a year. The main city in the northern tundra is called "Frost Rain Castle", and the Vikings living there call themselves "Frost People".

Because there will never be rain composed of "water" on that land.

"Two adults, you are in the wrong direction."

Shortly after leaving the city, a deep voice came from behind the carriage. Looking back, it was Jerome. He opened a slit in his closed eyes and glanced at Loki from the corner of his eyes.

His eyes were extremely clear, like dewdrops floating on leaves in the morning.

"Dear Chosen One, are you willing to help me, this lost lamb, find the right path?" Loki the cat climbed into the carriage.

He also discovered this problem after leaving the city. There are no road signs on the main roads in the Kingdom of Northumbria. Not only were there no road signs, but they had been walking for a long time, and none of the other horsemen driving carriages had seen one.

I don’t know who to ask for directions.

"Yes, but you must meet my two conditions." After observing these robbers for most of the day, Jerome also discovered that they were not the kind of butchers with blood on their hands.

Yesterday, after his broadsword cut the leader, he did not kill himself. After entering the monastery, they also focused on robbery.

There was absolutely no intention of killing them.

"First of all, I ask you to untie the rope from my hands. All living beings are equal, and no one should be born to be another person's slave!"

"In the name of the Holy Lord, I promise that I will not take up arms to resist."

After speaking, Jerome raised his hands that were tied by ropes.

Loki stared at his clear eyes for a few seconds, then looked at the increasingly dark forest behind him, and finally used the stone ax in his hand to loosen his bonds.

On the one hand, it was because there were not many weapons on the carriage, and Jerome's fighting skills were really average. On the other hand, he felt that a man with such pure eyes should keep his promise.

The second thing." As he spoke, Jerome stretched out a white palm.

"I want 10 coins and 20 coins"

"No, 40 silver coins!"

I???

Loki almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, "Brother, we are robbers, and you are the hostage, okay! We just left the town and you are blackmailing us?"

"Isn't there any justice in this?"

"As pirates, don't we have no face?"

"No? If you don't give it, we'll just freeze." Jerome was very calm. He held his shoulders with his hands and continued to sit behind the carriage like an old monk in meditation.

After just 5 minutes, Loki collapsed and gave in. He counted 40 silver coins from the money box behind him and handed them to him.

Jerome smiled slightly, picked up a torch, lit it, got out of the car and walked towards a farm on the roadside. Loki stretched out his big hand and was about to grab his shoulder and bring him back, but at this moment, two crows' calls came from the carriage.

Looking back, one of them had landed gently on his palm.

After so much happened, Loki would no longer regard crows as ignorant beasts.

Are you asking me to follow him?

OK, let’s go!

The two of them walked on the dark country road one behind the other. The land was still wet from the heavy rain. The two of them walked into a farm with feet full of mud.

The dusk is deep and now thousands of lights are on. Jerome stood in front of a dilapidated farmhouse in the center of a village and knocked on the door twice. There was a sound of footsteps, and with a soft creak, an ordinary farmer wearing coarse linen clothes opened the door.

"Oh my God, isn't this Father Jerome? Why didn't this guy come to our Shuangshui Village and tell me, the village chief, in advance?"

"Who is this?" The village chief pointed at Loki, and Jerome said softly, "This is the new monk."

"Come in quickly, come in quickly! Wife! Look who's coming!"

After entering this dilapidated farmhouse, Loki looked around and found that the lives of ordinary Saxon people were not necessarily any better than those of the Vikings. The two of them walked into the village chief's house just as dinner was about to begin. On the table was a large pot of potato and vegetable soup. There were four or five loaves of rye bread next to the soup pot. Three hungry children were surrounding them. Sit around the dining room table.

It can be seen that they must be very hungry, so after Loki and Jerome entered the house, the children were still looking at the food on the table.

Loki gently threw his blood-colored stone ax outside the door.

"Father, have you eaten? Hey! You said you were coming and you didn't tell me in advance. Why don't you send a pigeon to deliver a message? We can also prepare something in advance."

The village chief's face was full of embarrassment, and the village chief's wife hurriedly asked the children to stand up. The dilemma, one girl, and three delicate yellow-haired children looked at him shyly. Jerome knelt down and reached out to gently touch their soft faces.

Then, he took out the bag containing 40 silver coins and threw it on the table with a thud.
