Rebirth of the Viking King

Loki stretched out his hand to touch the cold dragon bone in front of him, feeling worried in his heart.

After hundreds of thousands of years, it is completely impossible to expect the dragon bones in the Dragon Tomb to be as fresh as ever.

With the accumulation of time, this thing has already become the same texture as stone, with a dense layer of glaze-like slurry on its surface.

I guess it's too late to soak in wine.

No one would throw a stone into a wine jug.

As for making feed

It seems even more inappropriate to let livestock eat stone powder.

However, this thing is the only product that Loki can get rid of in the Normandy region that "only I have and no one else has" after thinking about it all winter.

It is true that the Coldstone family owns a fleet that can go to the poles every year to hunt whales and harvest whale oil, but after all, this is the frost people's own business.

As a duke, Loki cannot openly take over the business that has been established as a complete production chain as his own.

The most he can collect is 10% of the tax.

Based on the business philosophy that rare things are valuable, Loki came here to harvest a batch from the Frost Giant King, and then took a boat to Paris to see if there was a market for this thing.

Three years ago, his first trip westward on a three-masted ship was like opening Pandora's box. Since then, years of war have left him without even a chance to breathe.

In just three years, there were only 20,000 residents in the three provinces of Dragon's Breath Plateau, River Valley, and Shuanghan Ridge.

Among them, there are only 2,000 who can pick up a big ax as a fighter.

Compared with the drastically shrinking population, the territory is expanding again and again. In the end, these 2,000 Viking warriors were Loki's only wealth. He needed to use these 2,000 people to do everything possible to maintain the situation of the two provinces in the English Islands.

From a group of pirates to a maritime trading nation, this deep-sea dragon tomb is his only bargaining chip.

He looked at Mohlantin. The Viking Queen spread her hands and also made a helpless expression.

Dragon bone fossils from hundreds of thousands of years ago have not yet appeared in the civilized society of the Western Continent. Even Mohlantin couldn't tell whether this thing had any value.

However, the matter has come to this, and the only option is to give it a try.

Calling on his men to drag the huge keel onto the oxcart, Loki just wanted to wave goodbye to the Giant King.

A black raven fell from the sky, with a red scroll tied to its hook.

According to the communication code established by Loki and Elizabeth. Only violent bloodshed in the territory would be written on papyrus of this color.

I just saw the first word when I opened the scroll

His heart slowly sank.

"Duke Loki, I have to admit that we are in a huge trouble!"

Three days later, Loki, who was returning overnight, saw Ecbert and Alfred before approaching the coastline.

Before he could even say hello, Ecbert, the Lord of Wessex, walked over first.

He once thought that this group of Vikings would definitely offend these aloof French masters at some point.

But I never expected that this day would come so quickly.

"What happened?" Loki asked with a frown.

An hour later, when he walked into the church and saw old Clint with his whole body covered in bandages, Loki pieced together the whole story based on the complete story described by Alfred.

Not surprisingly, the whole thing must be a conspiracy of the Illuminati.

The "Illuminati" is indeed as flawless as the legend says. This evil god's invasion is like a basin of dirty water. As long as it is poured on him, no matter what the result is, he cannot wash it away.

If they succeeded in capturing Alfred, they could blackmail Ecbert into becoming an Illuminati accomplice at the cost of his life.

If you don't catch it, that's okay.

724 French citizens and 31,042 Englishmen died in a war started by themselves.

The "Porse family" will definitely blame Loki for this debt.

**

On the grassland, the lion had no time to listen to the hyena's excuse.

The aloof French gentlemen would not listen to his explanation of "This is an evil invasion planned by the Illuminati" or "Your people have been prepared and planned to ambush me" and so on.

When Loki and Elizabeth got married, except for several heads of the seven kingdoms of England, the Principality of France, the Free City-State of Visigoth, and the Bavaria Region did not send a single noble.

Not even an envoy was sent to congratulate him.

They simply did not recognize the place of these Viking barbarians in the civilized world.

As for this sudden war

Everyone knows one thing: Clint was indeed the first to strike out with the first axe.

Although the old man's bones were broken, his whole body was covered with bandages. When he saw Loki appear, he still tried to get up and roared that I didn't embarrass Hanshui Village. In front of Ecbert and many nobles of the English Islands, he openly admitted that he was the first to cut down those French bastards.

Loki smiled bitterly and shook his head, he could only comfort the old man first.

In Scandinavia, wielding a big ax at foreigners does not cause public outrage, but is something to show off. However, this place is a civilized society after all. The "sect master" accurately found Clint, an old salty dog ​​with pure blood, and must have known that he would definitely fall into his trap.

"Edward 'Long-Legs' sent an envoy to deliver an imperial edict, asking you to go to Paris and accept the trial of the Inquisition." Ecbert took out a red, stiff scroll from his arms. The scroll was hard in texture. It is not made of papyrus, but another more advanced paper.

The back of the paper is even decorated with gold thread and hand-painted with several gorgeous gold flowers.

That is the emblem of the Plantagenet family.

"He only gives you 7 days."

"After seven days, he will close the English Channel and cut off all commercial dealings with us as he did 12 years ago."

The Vikings didn't understand the horror of this, but that didn't mean Loki didn't.

In the civilized world, if you want to survive on your own without relying on other countries, only a giant like the late Qing Dynasty with vast territory and large population can "contain a world of its own."

The backward technical industry in the Middle Ages made the manufacturing of most daily necessities still secret.

glass, papyrus, soap, paint, tea, porcelain, spices

There are too many daily necessities for these four floating islands to be self-sufficient. However, all the supplies on the island are transported from the Principality of France through the English Channel.

Note that there is no separate statement in the imperial edict "not to do business with Normandy."

In the eyes of lions, hyenas are all of one virtue. They didn't have the time to tell who was the murderer.

If there is any dissatisfaction, they will be punished together.

No matter how you look at it, this is a proposition.

If you go, you may face being ambushed by unknown enemies, and there is a high probability that you will fall into the hands of the Illuminati.

But if you don't go

The markets in seven countries will be in chaos within a week. The territory he built at the cost of tens of thousands of Viking lives will not only face significant decline.

How these six allies will unite to treat themselves is also a huge question.
