Chapter 132 3.54 Homecoming (3)

An hour later, when a group of bruised Vikings supported each other to go to the cabin to get food, Emma searched the whole ship and finally found that Youm was missing.

"Where is Youm?" She asked Loki anxiously.

"Oh, he jumped into the sea." Loki picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, answering lightly. The rich and red sauce stimulated his taste buds. This was a memory from his previous life.

This familiar taste reminded him of his family in his previous life.

"Jumping into the sea? How could you allow him to do such a thing! How cold is the sea water! In this sea where no one lives, where can he swim except our three ships?!"

"His wounds have not healed yet!"

Emma almost shouted the last sentence hoarsely. Along the way, she had always respected Loki to the greatest extent, and this was the first time she roared at him.

Loki rolled his eyes and looked at Emma. People often speak their truest thoughts when they are extremely angry. What surprised him was that in Emma's heart, she actually cared more about Yum's body than the image recorded in his mind.

This made him look up to the girl.

"I wanted to take him back to Constantinople and let him go to our Royal Academy of Sciences to receive formal education, study while recuperating, and stay away from these fighting and killing things. I didn't expect you to let him jump into the sea and swim away!"

"Don't you care about his life or death at all?!"

Haha, Loki smiled contemptuously, and did not stop stuffing food into his mouth.

"My lady, we are a group of pirates, not bandits. The legs are on their bodies. They said that they haven't been home for more than 50 years and want to go home. What can I do?"

"Is tying him up with ropes a civilized method used by civilized people?! Stepping back, you have also seen Yum's ability. Is he a person who can be tied up with ropes?"

"You are a group of lunatics!" Emma blushed, feeling that she was surrounded by a group of unreasonable weirdos, "I can't communicate with you at all!"

Viking weirdos who can beat each other for a few gold coins and still be as close as a family after the beating. The Bishop of Light who can release the miracle of holy light but is willing to mix with a group of murderers, and this "sometimes crazy, sometimes normal, and sometimes with a bag in his head" captain.

The girl snorted coldly and slammed the door. Loki signaled Aunt Fafner to serve her a meal and send it to the door. The best way to deal with an angry woman is to let her cool down, because when the words "anger" and "woman" are combined, they change from human beings to another kind of creature.

Loki has lived for two lifetimes and doesn't know how to communicate with such creatures.

"Pour more, don't let this ancestor starve!" Loki took the rice spoon in Aunt Fafner's hand and slowly filled a box of rice.

"This girl is a good person, but like all the young masters and young ladies of noble families, they will imagine the world to be too beautiful and think that everything is under their control, hehe"

"Being angry also consumes energy. I have to find a way to send this gold owner back to the Conqueror's Fortress."

"This meat ticket is worth three hundred 'Dinar gold coins'!"

**

The next seven days were calm. The three ships quickly traveled through the Norwegian Sea, and they were about to approach the "Yinyu Plain" in the 77th province of the Scandinavian Peninsula. That is the land of the Viking King, and the Conqueror's Fortress is on the seashore of the plain.

Although Emma was still very angry these days, she was not a petty and sickly lady. As a rational explorer, she knew that if it weren't for Loki, she would never have the chance to have the adventure of entering the bowels of the beast.

Moreover, she had obtained too much first-hand information about the Old One "Leviathan". Even if Yum was missing, she would almost certainly be the chief explorer of the Royal Academy of Sciences this year with her notebooks and notes.

When she thought that she would have more manpower, higher exploration authority, and priority use of research laboratories next year, Emma chose to forgive this strange captain temporarily. Of course, if she wanted to sail to a farther continent in the future, she would need a captain like Loki who was willing to die.

In order to continue scientific research, it was also necessary to maintain a relationship that was acceptable to both sides.

These days, she almost locked herself in the cabin and sorted out her notes day and night. Loki didn't bother to care about him, but sent Fafner to deliver food to her regularly.

The warm sea breeze blew, and the outline of the Conqueror's Fortress appeared in front of everyone.

This was a fiery red castle standing in the black grassland. The land of the Viking King, "Yinyuyuan", is named after the almost eternally lush black grass. This mutant plant contains a large amount of metal elements in its body.

Thousands of years ago, this land belonged to the "dragon herders" among the giants.

Animals living on the black grassland will be hunted by dragons after eating a large amount of plants containing metal elements. The dragon herders use this method to enable the dragons to consume enough metal when eating, making their teeth and scales harder.

Conqueror's Fortress is a huge fiery red castle. From a distance, it looks like a huge evil dragon entrenched on the coast with its head held high. Looking around, a black dragon falling on the towering wall is the most dazzling emblem of this castle.

Legend has it that the Conqueror's Fortress was built by giants of the "Dragon Herders" clan and human slaves for three thousand years. Later, something happened and the dragon escaped the control of the giant, triggering a war that lasted for hundreds of years.

It is now impossible to know why this black dragon died on the city wall. But after thousands of years, its skin and bones have dried up, and its hard scales have almost merged with the city wall.

Only the huge dragon head has not deformed at all because of the support of the skull.

Before death, the dragon lay on the city wall with its mouth wide open, spewing flames at the city gate. At the time of death, this majestic action was also permanently frozen here.

Among the hunters in Hanshui Village, only Old Gore had ever entered this Viking capital. On the one hand, it was because there was a towering Tianduan Mountain Range between the river valley and Yinyuyuan, and on the other hand, the per capita consumption level of this city was not something that the poor hunters in Hanshui Village could afford.

When it was about to approach the shore, everyone gathered on the side of the boat. The dark red city wall stretches endlessly. In addition to the huge black dragon at the city gate, many other places on the city wall still preserve the remains and bones of dragons. The huge castle in the center of the city is made of layers of red boulders. It is estimated to be at least ten stories high.

In terms of the size of the city alone, it is at least 20 times larger than the Wind's End.

"Haha! Hurry up and get ashore. I have to go to the Tang people's shop to take a look! I always heard that their sword cultivators can fly with swords. I have to go and see it."

"Hehe, sword cultivator? No matter how powerful a sword cultivator is, can he be as powerful as the big bird that summons thunder and lightning? On this trip, I, Old Gore, have seen something extraordinary!"

"What sword cultivator! Buy a few boxes of perfume powder for the wife at home and sell some Arab candies for the children is the real business!"

The happiest moment for Viking pirates is to return from looting with silver in their pockets. Seeing that the dock is getting closer and closer, Loki hung the saber-toothed king flag given to him by his sister "Mehrandin" on the bow. Hanging this flag means that they are distinguished guests of the O'Sullivan family, and they will enjoy the best service wherever they go in this city.

Seeing the royal flag appear, the clerk in charge of command on the dock immediately waved the flag to signal them to stop the ship. The ship was docked in the sea, and more than a dozen small longboats responsible for pulling sailed out of the port. They threw out hooks and dragged the fleet into a wider dock. After Loki and his men got off the ship, a guard in red armor came over, and behind him was a carriage pulled by eight big horses.

"The Viking Princess 'Mehrandin O'Sullivan' summoned the Lord of Hanshui Village 'Loki Starrag' and the explorer 'Emma Waldorf' of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Constantinople to the palace to meet the emperor! Set off immediately!"

The armored guard took out a scroll and read it, and the guard of honor behind him raised his musical instrument and blew it away. This "proclamation" was quite Tang-like. But then the band obviously imitated the French nobles.

Loki shook his head repeatedly after watching this strange scene of the combination of Chinese and Western elements.

If a civilization that has never produced the flower of humanities wants to integrate into the mainstream society by simply relying on "imitation", the Vikings obviously still have a long way to go.
