Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 528 46 Macedonian Fortress (2)

All caravan traders walking in the black desert need to draw on the wisdom of their predecessors to a certain extent. ReadМ

Old Hash did not find this route for the Hash Caravan alone. The master who led him into the industry was on this path. The young Hashidai was loyal and quick-witted. He was also good at fighting with a knife when necessary.

Over time, he gradually gained the trust of his master.

I followed the master's caravan for seven or eight years until I clearly remembered this route in my mind.

At the age of 18, when young Mohammed Harsh entered this abandoned city for the first time, the old master told all the apprentices that if they wanted to live longer on this route, they must suppress Live your curiosity.

From the age of 18 to 58, he would come here every year to replenish the water supply, but every time he would enter a secret basement to rest.

Not to mention exploring the ruins, I didn't even dare to leave this fixed room even when I got up at night to drain water.

Hundreds of different caravans had spent the night in the ruins of the city, which convinced him that there would be no valuable relics here. If you wander around, just in case you encounter a group of hyenas in a hidden corner, or a poisonous scorpion lurking in the fine sand.

That basically pronounced his death sentence.

This time they entered the ruins of the city, and so did the Hash Horse Gang. The porters and laborers methodically turned the wells and filled the empty leather bags with fresh water.

The servants who traveled with the team did the laundry and cooked the food.

Apart from the Byzantine scholars, only Loki left the team.

the reason is simple

He smelled blood.

Since drinking the "Water of Gods" in Asgard and successfully awakening the thin "blood of the ancestors" in his body, his physical fitness has far exceeded that of ordinary people.

He can hold his breath underwater for several days, and can run at high speed for a whole day without eating or drinking.

Jumping to a height of twenty or thirty meters from flat ground is not a problem.

Not only has his physical strength been greatly improved, his eyesight, sense of smell, and even hearing are far better than ordinary people. It was precisely because of this body that he was able to wander in the sea of ​​sand for several days without eating or drinking after waking up, until he was discovered by Old Hash.

He knew how powerful this body was, so when the faint smell of blood appeared, the faint smell immediately aroused his alertness.

Blood gas is a smell that can be emitted by blood mixed with water vapor.

The caravan was currently located in the middle of a dry desert. If the aura came from the carcasses of wild animals, the number of carcasses was obviously too large.

Just after entering the stone chamber, Loki signaled Hukraul behind him to slow down. It was already afternoon, and the falling Western Ocean cast its last ray of afterglow through the hole of the abandoned stone chamber, illuminating a mottled stone wall.

There are no painted hieroglyphs of the free people of Memphis on the stone wall, but many ancient Greek characters are neatly engraved as if printed.

Bachelors will be very interested in the appearance of characters unique to the ancient Mediterranean civilization in the middle of the black desert, but none of this is surprising to Loki, a traveler.

In human history, it was the Macedonian emperor "Alexander the Great" who defeated the Pharaoh's army head-on for the first time.

If we evaluate who in human civilization is most like a "cheating" person, "Alexander the Great" claims to be second, and no one dares to compete for first place.

Western historians will give special names to specific great people.

For example, the great teacher, Western scholars gave him a proper name "Chairman Mao".

Another example is Alexander the Great. Throughout human history, he is the only one who will be called "Alexander the Great."

When he was only 16 years old, he took charge of the country on behalf of his father. In just 2 years, he unified all of Greece and brought all the scattered city-states under his command.

However, this is only the beginning of the journey to hegemony.

The Persian Empire, feared by successive Greek leaders, only lasted four years against Alexander.

Four years later, the Persian Empire located on the plains of Mesopotamia fell.

He also "incidentally" brought Egypt under his command.

The capture of Egypt was purely a matter of hunting down rabbits, and Alexander did not even feel the "effort".

After resting for 2 years, he decided to open up an unfamiliar land and continue to march eastward. As a result, the emperor spent 5 years defeating all the nomadic peoples on the East-West Continental Bridge, reaching as far as ancient India.

If he had not "unfortunately" died of illness at the age of only 33, if his life could have continued for 5 years, he would have only to bypass the Himalayas and continue walking hundreds of kilometers eastward. The behemoth charging from the west.

It is still unclear who will unify the Central Plains.

Greek characters are neatly carved on the walls, just like those ancient sculptures in ancient European towns, and long lists of names often appear neatly in the stone tablets.

This is the usual way for Westerners to "remember the martyrs". The name of this entire wall may be the subordinates who died during Alexander the Great's conquest of Egypt. It can be expected that there are many similar buildings in this desert.

Loki's disdain was in sharp contrast to Hukraul next to him.

In the 21st century, science has completed its absolute occupation of the world. The basic education that most people come into contact with after entering school already covers nearly 10 different subjects. Relying on powerful Internet search engines, even a 10-year-old child can tell several stories about Alexander the Great.

However, in the Middle Ages, the difficulty of acquiring knowledge increased exponentially.

Bards often deliberately blur the boundaries between mortals and gods in pursuit of artistic effect. As word of mouth spreads, ancient legends will only get further and further away from reality.

There are only two ways for maesters to learn the truth.

1. Read the ancient manuscripts left by our ancestors.

2. Go to the site of the monument in person and verify it with your eyes.

Hook Lauer took out a quill pen and wood pulp paper from his arms and began to quickly record the still legible words on the mottled stone wall.

This list was crucial to his research.

If a deceased person on the list appears in other documents, through cross comparison, this will become ironclad evidence that the Kingdom of Macedonia conquered ancient Egypt.

Only with the first evidence can we have subsequent research.

However, just after writing these two lines, as the sun set over the mountains, the last ray of light on the horizon quickly dissipated.

The brief disappearance of vision brings an instant enhancement of the sense of smell. Loki held the ax tightly and walked step by step towards the interior of the stone chamber. The faint smell of blood suddenly became intense in the narrow stone chamber where the air could not circulate.

In the darkness, he lit a torch.

The picture scroll that appeared in front of him was a terrifying sight that he would never forget in his life.
