Rebirth of the Viking King

After entering the hotel, eating and washing, everyone slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

It was almost noon. After eating and drinking, Loki led Alfred and Wenzov to the woodland behind Versailles Castle and handed over 30 silver coins to see the true appearance of the unicorn with their own eyes.

The unicorn symbolizes purity and has always been a friend of women. Looking at the entire Western Continent, I am afraid that only France has the ability to raise such an ornamental animal that can neither be eaten nor ridden.

The rough Vikings didn't appreciate the aesthetics of exotic animals at all. They felt it was not interesting and got up and left one after another. At the same time, they also muttered that the silver coins might as well be used to buy three hundred flatbreads.

Traveling through the woods, Loki discovers that France is in a lower dimension than England.

Here, the coniferous forests disappear and are replaced by broadleaf forests. Oak trees, ginkgo trees, red maples, and metasequoia trees that had not been seen in 22 years began to appear. In the forest, you can often see a young man on horseback transporting his woman on a camel. The two of them went to a tree shade and spread out a stall to sit on the ground.

They don't need to work or run around. They can quietly lie on soft blankets and enjoy the warm sunshine like young men and women in the 21st century.

On the other hand, Loki worked hard throughout the winter to allow every household in Normandy to own fields and properties.

The gap in national power between the two countries is nakedly displayed here.

Versailles is a peripheral city of Paris. In later generations, it is a "satellite city". All goods shipped from Paris to the English Channel must be packaged and transited here, and all goods shipped to France from the seven countries in England also stop and transit here.

Therefore, the official roads outside the city were bustling with people, with horse teams constantly passing through. Following the crowded carriages and porters on the official road, seven hours later, when dusk fell, the majestic city of Paris finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This was the first time he saw a huge city that could spread to the horizon after traveling through time.

According to the experience of Bishop Francis living there for a whole winter, the permanent population of Paris is over 300,000. This number is of course far from the "million population" of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but it is still a quite terrifying number.

You know, before the Slavic invasion, all the Vikings in Scandinavia combined were only equivalent to 300,000.

Not counting the 21 provinces, Paris alone is equivalent to the total population of the entire Viking territory.

After entering the city, the exquisite city also shows the same architectural texture as that of the ancient Roman city-state.

At the end of the 8th century, Gothic architecture was not yet fully popularized, and the Plantagenet Renaissance did not focus on architectural craftsmanship.

The bachelors merely unearthed ancient manuscripts and revived long-lost Roman handicrafts.

Arches and columns from the Roman era can be seen everywhere in the city, as well as broad, flat assembly squares lined with sculptures. Walking in this gorgeous city, Rocky was surprised to find that there was almost no exposed soil in the city.

All roads are covered with stone bricks.

All exposed land is planted with green grass or shrubs.

If you don't become a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Only after actually sitting on the Duke's chair did Loki understand that behind the seemingly ordinary street scene in later generations, a well-staffed "municipal department" needed to work day and night.

Now let’s look at the capital of the Normandy region, “Rainfall Heights”.

With large populations comes the trouble of large populations.

Not to mention paving roads, he is not even capable of completely removing horse manure from the roads.

It was a rare time to enter a big city. Loki looked around and found that there were no guards watching around him. He immediately ordered everyone to have a free day and return to Father Francis' residence tomorrow night.

As for the trial of the "Heresy Tribunal", it was already late anyway.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a few days late!

Do you expect me to abide by the time set by you like a chained dog?

This is completely impossible.

After handing over all the tasks, he happily rushed into the market with Alfred. Although the two are "father and son" in name, they are similar in age, so there is no obstacle to their communication.

Wenzov distributed enough silver coins to all the guards, and everyone quickly disappeared into the bustling streets of Paris like a school of fish in water.

Priest Francis was in stark contrast to Loki's calmness.

Unlike the Vikings who lived one day at a time and were ready to pick up an ax to meet Odin at any time, the old patriarch was a man with a long-term plan for "life". He spends almost every moment thinking about how he will survive in the next ten years.

He has a very thorough understanding of the question "how to survive."

Don't look at the fact that he is now carrying 100,000 Emperor Flower silver coins, plus 5 priceless jewelry rings. It seemed that he could leave Loki at any time to find a better life, but the old patriarch knew better.

The Illuminati can't take care of Loki, but that doesn't mean the Illuminati can't take care of him.

Once he breaks away from Loki's protection, no matter where he escapes, within three days, the spy killer hired by "Diamond Flower" Durang will immediately capture him and bring him back to France.

The old patriarch couldn't even imagine what would greet him then.

The Principality of France is able to sit on the most fertile land and stand on this road for five hundred years. All of this is not due to charity.

Behind every glamorous "face", there must be a "lining" full of blood and dirt.

The old patriarch didn't want to see any dirty tricks belonging to "civilized people".

When everyone left, Francis wandered around the room like an ant on a hot pot.

As the lights came on and a bright moon rose in the sky, he opened the closet and took out a wooden square box from the bottom of a pile of clothes.

His short and thick hands kept groping for the delicate wood grain texture of the square box. After thinking for a long time, his eyes gradually became sharp from distracted.

Finally, he put the wooden box in his arms and made a decision.
