Rebirth of the Viking King

The carpenter Sangji held the money bag tightly in his arms and drove the carriage step by step closer to the tall city wall of "Storm's End".

Different from the wooden Hanshui Village, the towering Storm's End Castle is made of sky-blue natural rocks, with green vines crawling on it, like a green mountain peak suddenly rising from the plains.

As a craftsman. Every time he approaches this huge fortress, Sanchi can't help but feel the power of the Creator.

According to the rumors of the Storm Acolytes in the "Hall of Valor", this castle was built by Ymir, the "ancestral giant" in ancient times, who commanded his frost giant men to dig out sea-suppressing boulders from the frozen seabed. Each of the boulders outside the castle is as tall as a person. They have survived hundreds of wars over hundreds of years and are still standing.

It is not clear whether the ancient legend is true or false. However, "Storm's End", a stone castle with a battlefield area of ​​nearly 10 hectares, is one of the oldest buildings in Scandinavia. It is the oldest building of all Vikings. generally accepted fact.

Sanchi will never forget the shock when he and the old village chief came to Storm's End for the first time. That year, he was only 12 years old. He followed the village chief into the magnificent hall and swore an oath to Bernard, Lord of the Dales. Allegiance. He remained silent along the way, and even the old village chief tried his best to avoid the small groups of chosen ones.

Only the village chief's youngest son, Loki, who was only 5 years old at the time, was calm and calm, without any fear.

"Sooner or later, this castle will become mine!"

After saying this, the old village chief hurriedly covered his mouth, and Sanji was so frightened that he almost peed on the spot. Conspiracy is a serious crime in any dynasty or generation. Even if it is an innocent joke, it will cause big trouble if it reaches the ears of someone with ulterior motives.

More than ten years have passed, and Sanchi feels more and more that Loki is the reincarnation of the god in the Hall of Valor. There is too much knowledge in his brain that is beyond this era, and his plan is definitely not to live in the abject Hanshui Village.

The motley old horse pulled the carriage step by step towards the castle's wide moat. In addition to Sanchi himself and his two sons, there were also daily necessities that he usually made using his carpenter's skills when he had nothing to do. The "folding bench" and "wheelbarrow" designed by Master Loki have always been popular items at the Storm's End Fair. Of course, Sanchi's sons also made several wooden bucklers, which were commonly used by the Vikings in battle, and wooden knives used to train children in combat.

"Hey, isn't this brother Sanji from Hanshui Village? Are you in a good mood today? Come to the market to sell goods."

As he approached the city gate, the gate guard opened his mouth wide, revealing a set of yellow teeth. Almost everyone in the river valley knows this old guy, and he is a notoriously difficult character.

"Haha" Sanji laughed twice. "My lord, you have led all the gentlemen back from the Eastern Expedition successfully. Each of these gentlemen has made a lot of money in their pockets. I have to take advantage of your pockets to come here."

"Why don't you, my lords, linger on the soft bellies of gypsy girls for a few days at night, with empty wallets, who else can the little old man sell these wooden goods to?"

"Hahaha!" Amidst the laughter of the city gate guards, Sanji took out a few silver coins from his pocket at the right time, and took out a few "cigarettes" made by Master Loki with tobacco and papyrus, and stuffed them into his furry big hands.

"These are this year's new cigarettes that are very fragrant! When I sell the goods and make some money, I'll treat you all to a drink!"

Sanchi is quite clear-headed. Nobles swore allegiance to their lords in order to be allocated land under their lords. In the culture of the Vikings, it was a serious crime to go to sea without permission of the lord, but Loki, the devil incarnate, obviously had no intention of reporting to Duke Bernard.

In this way, not only did he have to sneakily buy the anchor under the noses of city guards all over the street, but he also had to find a way to transport the anchor back to Hanshui Village without alerting the guards.

This requires you to appease these money-grubbing guards first.

Driving across the moat's suspension bridge, you officially enter the inner city of Storm's End. Storm's End is the largest settlement within a thousand miles in the valley. There are more than 1,200 households and nearly 5,000 residents living inside and outside the castle. And this is the smallest group among the six Dukes of Scandinavia.

In the neighboring province, "Dragon's Breath Plateau" is ruled by Duke "Moklash", and there are 8,000 people living in the main city of "Dragon's Breath Caves". The largest city, the "Conqueror's Fortress" where the current Viking King "Sabertooth" O'Sullivan lives, is said to have a simple army of 10,000 shield and ax warriors.

Although it is not a big city in vertical comparison, Storm's End is still the most prosperous market within hundreds of miles in horizontal comparison. After entering the market, I randomly found a stall to set up a stall. The cutting-edge wooden tools on Sanchi's car that did not belong to this era immediately attracted the Viking warriors wandering around the market.

"Hey! Young and old men, don't forget to take a look at the handicrafts of my old man Sanji when you pass by! Old man, I saw Loki, the god of wisdom, in my sleep a few days ago. He personally sent down an oracle and gave me three pieces. A great creation that can change your life.”

As he spoke, Sanchi’s sons moved folding chairs one after another from the car. He held the chair high and turned around, gently moving his legs. The originally crossed chair spread out and immediately turned into a seat that could be stably supported in place.

"Hey, isn't this thing magical? Not to mention saving space when traveling, but when three or five friends came to the house temporarily, after opening it, it was just a wooden chair. You don't usually need so many seats, you can also use these cute ones Fold all the babies and hide them away”

"In case you drink too much, close the chair and wheel around for a friendly and friendly force activity. This thing will not kill people like an ax, and it will not let you find out that you accidentally hacked your own brother to death after you sober up. And regret it for the rest of my life!”

“How practical!”

The crowd quickly gathered around, and Sanji rolled his eyes deftly. He asked his youngest son behind him to unload a wheelbarrow dump truck from the carriage and other miscellaneous little things.

The eldest son wisely took over Sanji's class and began to demonstrate for everyone. However, Sanji took advantage of the stall where everyone's attention was attracted by the market and drove an empty carriage into the residential alley behind the shopping street.

Wearing a hood, he quickly observed the shops around him, and finally parked at the back entrance of a shop called "Quenching Marash". Seeing that there was no one around, Sanji nimbly rushed in.

Opening the door to the blacksmith shop, a wall of hot, dry heat hit you. Several naked and strong Viking men were wielding hammers and tempering axes and horseshoes. They did not show any surprise when they saw Sangji enter the room.

Because Sanchi’s full name is: Sanchi Marash.

The owner of this shop, Gore Marash, is his biological father.
