Rebirth of the Viking King

Loki has lived two lives, and he knows very well what these high-ranking and wealthy people want most.

700 years ago, when Columbus discovered the New World of America, what they were most interested in was not the local indigenous people, minerals, or large groups of wildlife.

The first thing the explorers did was to rush into the original pyramid of the Aztec civilization and move back several exquisite crystal skulls for the queen.

500 years ago, when explorers from the British Empire discovered the pyramids in the desert of Egypt, the first thing they did was to dig in, dig out everything they could, and then transport it back to England for display.

Not to mention the gold and silver pottery, even the dried mummies and even the sand on the mummies were moved back intact.

Not to mention that the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the Qing Dynasty and almost looted the first garden in the world before burning the Old Summer Palace!

Not only will I rob you, but after I rob you, I will also set you on fire.

Why?

Because I've seen it.

I am a noble ruler, and you, as untouchables, have no right to see what I have seen!

When assets accumulate to a certain amount, gold and silver are no different from dirt in the eyes of capitalists. At their level, what they need is insight.

I came to this world to live my life. Before I left, I saw more things I had never seen before, ate more delicacies I had never tasted before, and played with more women I had never played with before.

As long as there is a mouth, everyone can eat delicious food.

woman? There are 7 billion people in the world and 3.5 billion women, no matter how hard they play, they can’t play.

Only antiques.

This kind of cherished plaything that has struggled to survive in the river of time is extremely precious. This is something that most people will never see in their lifetime. Not to mention wanting to play with antiques, have a deep pocket, a wealth of knowledge, a lot of free time and a little bit of luck.

Indispensable!

Because of this, wealthy businessmen have a strong desire to collect antiques. Especially antiques that are rare but also reveal nobility are treasures that everyone wants to get.

The cross that has been erected for hundreds of years in the Lindisfar Abbey is exactly this kind of cultural relic!

Normally, these very wealthy churches would never sell what they have at the bottom of the box. At this time, after all, the Tang State was not at war with the island country of England on a national level, and it was difficult for the businessmen to openly rob.

But it would be different if you meet a pirate like Loki who comes to sell stolen goods!

Ever since the cross fell from the carriage with a clang, Shopkeeper Luo could no longer take his eyes away. But despite this, as the boss of "Izumo Trading Company", he has been taught from the age of five to be calm at all times.

Especially going abroad. He represents the face of the Tang people. No matter what happens, he will collapse!

"Yeah" he gently twirled his beard, stretched out his left hand and snapped his fingers. After seeing the order, the maid hid behind the far wall and bowed slightly and walked into the wing. After a while, a skinny old man with a stooped figure walked in from the door.

"Oh, my Lord, I received this again today." Just halfway through speaking, the old man suddenly paused.

Almost jumping up and down, he walked to the cross, and suddenly he knelt down on his feet with a thud! After closing his eyes, he placed his flexible nose on the silver cross.

"Iris," he whispered softly. Then he put his flexible nose on the cross and smelled it almost from beginning to end

"Plumite!"

"A hint of the salty sea breeze and the smell of fire!"

"I'm talking about the big cabinet! This is a product from the Roman period, from the Apennine Peninsula! It's at least more than a thousand years ago!"

"Not a trace of smell can pass through my old Gou's nose. This time I touched a big fish!"

"Did this idiot send it to you?"

All of the old man's words were spoken in Chinese. But even if they didn't think twice, they wouldn't know that the tall Viking standing opposite was a time traveler.

Loki could understand the Chinese spoken by both of them.

"The silver mine used to forge this cross came from the Aegean Sea. During the hundreds of years from 200 BC to 200 AD, it was the time when Qin Shihuang sent pre-Qin Qi refiners to travel around the world."

"According to records in ancient pre-Qin books, the Aegean Sea was covered with iris flowers during that time, and the air was full of this smell, so the silverware forged in that era would also have some of it."

“This is just one of them”

"The most critical point is the lead bedrock! This is the unique address structure of the 'Cassandra' Islands near Athens. Only shallow surface metal veins thousands of years ago would be associated with this kind of ore. When I put my nose closer, I immediately I smelled a strong smell of rocks, and by now I was almost certain that it couldn’t be wrong!”

"At the end, I smelled a bit of salt and fire."

"Seven hundred years ago, the ancient city of Pompeii on the Apennine Peninsula was engulfed by a volcanic eruption and covered entirely with hot volcanic ash. According to the old man's inference, this thing was most likely forged and sold to Pompeii, where it has been placed ever since. In an open courtyard somewhere in the ancient city.”

"Because of this, the Mediterranean sea breeze blows day and night, which brings a little bit of salty smell."

"But suddenly one day, disaster struck. Pompeii was submerged in volcanic ash. This thing was most likely dug out of the shallow ruins of the ancient city by Western tomb robbers. Later, after several twists and turns, it was obtained by this little thief. "

Gou Chaofeng and Shopkeeper Luo walked shoulder to shoulder, whispering further and further away. Afterwards, they had reached the side hall next door, and Loki could no longer hear what they were saying.

Fortunately, at least now he has all the information he needs. The cross removed from the chapel of Lindisfar Abbey is indeed a valuable cultural relic as Father Francis said.

Knowing this can provide strong support for subsequent negotiations.

After half an hour, shopkeeper Luo walked out of the inner hall again. However, this time he put away his smiling face and replaced it with a look of indifference.

"Mr. Loki, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" He stretched out a finger to Loki, his face ashen.

"In ten years of business, I haven't seen much of the Vikings, but that doesn't stop me from knowing what kind of people you are from other channels! I don't know how you boarded Northam. The land of the Kingdom of Bria"

"But you could be so despicable as to rob a monastery! Roughly snatching away their cross, this is beyond my imagination!"

(This guy in Japan can change his face faster than turning the pages of a book! Is this really him?)

Loki shook his head and chose to continue watching Shopkeeper Luo's performance.

"Although we are businessmen from a foreign country, Eller III treats me Izumo Trading Company very well after all! I cannot accept the filth you obtained in this way, both emotionally and rationally!"

Shopkeeper Luo said these words in a stern and upright tone. Loki had never known that Viking could even be spoken with such emphasis and tone. He still had that mysterious smile on his face and did not make any overreaction.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay!" He gently held Shopkeeper Luo's outstretched finger and shook it.

"It is common for a business to fail, but after all, we have met today, can we be considered friends?" When shaking hands, Loki stared at his wrist again, confirming that the triangular tattoo on it was indeed the omniscient name of the Illuminati. Eye.

"Actually, since yesterday, our brothers have been discussing whether to melt this thing. We can also spend it if it is melted into silver coins. Just find a coin mold. Hey, you think I have the same brain. How silly!”

"I'm really sorry that I came here to waste your time over such a trivial matter."

After speaking, he and Sartre carried the cross back to the carriage with difficulty, turned around and left.

Shopkeeper Luo obviously didn't expect Loki to react like this. In his more than ten years of experience in standing counters, thieves will usually panic when they are discovered. Most people will use methods similar to begging and kneeling to lick the dirt in their hands, and they will be told not to retaliate. official.

In this case, he can get the goods he wants at a price close to the bargain price, and then get a steady rebate on the quotation to the headquarters.

After Loki's big sting indicated that he wanted to melt the cross, a trace of unnoticeable panic flashed in his eyes. But the professionalism of the professional shopkeeper kept the serious expression on his face steady.

(Haha, as long as I am not frightened, you are the ones who are frightened!)

After the three of them got into the carriage, Loki picked up the blood ax and struck the cross hard!

There was a loud "ding" sound, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shopkeeper Luo's upright body suddenly tremble violently.

"Smash it, brother Sartre! I don't think this thing can be sold! Let's smash it for him when we get home. It will be easy to melt by then!"

Several people didn't even look back as they spoke, and walked straight out of the main hall of Izumo Trading Company.

However, he took less than ten steps.

Gou Chaofeng, who had just been lying on the cross and sniffing wildly, suddenly appeared from the corner. Wearing a pair of sunglasses, he stood in a secret door in a remote corner of the hall and gently waved to Loki and the others.
