Chapter 80 3.3 Fortune and Honor Are Sought in Danger
After two days of careful study, Loki basically understood why the "gatekeeper" of the "Illuminati" wanted to exchange the ancient book in his hand with Old Walder.
The "Submerged City Volume" compiled by "Mo Yiquan" in Old Walder's hand is already a finished product that can be "submitted". The book accurately describes the creatures, beliefs, plants, and buildings living in the Submerged City, and can be called a detailed "regional encyclopedia".
And this one is just a "travel diary" recorded by the Tang man "Xiao Lu" with holy light.
In the following pages, he described how he planned this trip. He found the Tang Dynasty "Izumo Trading Company" as an investor (this is also the reason why the " The gatekeeper was the company where Loki felt that perhaps this move exposed his intentions, and he eventually died at the hands of the gatekeeper.)
Izumo Trading Company gave him a total of 10 of the most advanced Tang "building ships" of this era, as well as all the supplies needed for sailing to the "Great Cold Sea" and even the "Extreme Yin Land", including food, medicine, sailors, fuel, etc.
In addition to the Tang people, because this "Xiao Lu" himself is a disciple of the Holy Bishop, his expedition team also has "sealed object managers" from the Roman Catholic Church. Their job is to investigate the evidence that the foreign gods once survived at the landmark, find and seal the evil god belief totems they left behind, and eliminate the possibility of the outsiders believing in evil gods.
In addition In addition, Xiao Lu, who made friends extensively, also found two Zoroastrians from the "Arab Empire" on the East-West Continental Bridge.
Zoroastrians, like the Holy Bishop, also preached widely around the world. However, their preaching methods are more secretive, and their beliefs and doctrines are more paranoid and evil than those of the Holy Bishop. According to the description of the generalist Ahai in the animal skin scroll, Zoroastrians believe in a new god called "King of Fire". The believers of the King of Fire call themselves "the Fire Transmission Gang", and they call preaching "the Fire Transmission", and the development of believers is the inheritance of the fire.
In many countries led by the Holy Bishop, such as France, the Visigoths, and the seven countries of the English Isles. Zoroastrianism is strictly prohibited. cult, but their followers are like weeds that can never be killed, and they will grow again in the spring breeze.
However, for this scientific expedition, the two sects of Zoroastrianism and the Holy Bishop, who were as hostile as fire and fire, put aside their grievances and formed an alliance for a short time under the command of Xiao Lu. This can be regarded as a remarkable skill of this Tang scholar.
They set out in the second year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, which was AD744. After leaving Yorkshire, they headed north.
The handwriting recorded in this ancient book stopped here. Loki observed carefully and found drops of blood at the foot of the page, as well as traces of his palm brushing across the page.
"Can this kind of handwriting that can only be illuminated by holy light be wiped off with the palm of your hand?"
"In principle, it can't. The mark of holy light can only be removed by high-level monks with more refined power, so" Jerome replied.
"So it seems that there was an internal conflict on the ship? "
"Imagine a fleet of ten Chinese ships, all of them were united and on the surface harmonious, but in the end only this book fell into the hands of the Illuminati."
"Did these people complete their mission alive? Or did they all die?"
"Or did half of them survive and half die? Are there any ships left behind on the coastline of Iceland? "
Loki paced in the room for a whole afternoon.
At the beginning of spring, everything revived. The warm wind blowing in from the window brushed his cheeks warmly, making him feel a little sleepy. At this time, everything in Hanshui Village was in order. It was no longer the extremely poor and weak appearance a few years ago. He, as the lord, no longer had to go to the fields to sow and fish.
Spring is not a season for plundering. You always have to find something to do.
Why not set sail and go to the North Sea??
Once this idea came into being, it took root in his brain like a big poisonous weed!
But on second thought, finding Iceland is not easy.
According to the memory of the world map in his brain. England on the left side of the Scandinavian Peninsula is a long island that stretches out like a palm. This means that if he wants to cross to England, no matter how his ship is blown by the strong wind while trying to cross the North Sea, this outstretched palm will always catch him so that he will not get lost.
But Iceland can Different.
Although this island is a piece of land, it is much smaller than the English Islands in terms of area. If the English Islands are likened to an outstretched palm, then Iceland is a table tennis ball that can be held in the palm.
It is not easy to hit a target the size of a table tennis ball in the vast Norwegian Sea. His fleet is very likely to cross Iceland and rush to Greenland, which is further north. That is a land located in the Arctic Circle and is permanently covered by ice.
If the ship is frozen on the sea, everyone will die.
Secondly, Loki is not a geography expert. He is just an ordinary person from the Red Country with a bachelor's degree. He just knows that there is an island called "Iceland" between the Scandinavian Peninsula and the Arctic ice cap. He only knows a vague direction in his mind.
He has no idea where this island is and what direction it is.
But think about it carefully. If he finds this island, the reward he can get is also huge.
First, four Qi-refining masters from the pre-Qin period died on the island, and their equipment is very valuable. If they pick up a few more [Demon Sealing Blades] or robes that can amplify spiritual energy, the power of the Chosen Ones of Hanshui Village will be further enhanced.
Secondly, the notebook of "Xiao Lu" clearly records that they set out with a total of 10 ships!
If a group of these people died on the island. Is it possible that their ships are still docked on the shore? You don't need 10 ships, you can make a lot of money if you can find two or three!
These ships can carry 200-300 Viking warriors! Crossing the North Sea to England, this is also a small force! This autumn, we will force him hard!
It doesn't need too much, just find a few wealthy businessmen and monasteries to make a fortune, which will be enough for the village's expenses in the next year!
If there are seven or eight ships, hehe, this picture is too beautiful, Loki dare not think about it for the time being.
Do it or not?
Loki crossed his legs and thought about the bright moon in the sky, and finally came to the conclusion that "wealth and honor are sought in danger."
Duke Bernard had no good intentions in marrying his eldest daughter to him. He had long been eyeing the rich salt fields of Blood Pigeon Town, and Hummel of Blood Pigeon Town had also coveted the solid Storm's End Castle for a long time. These two old foxes will surely fight bloody battles within three to five years.
By then, Loki doesn't want to be a chess piece at the mercy of others!
In the game of power, you either win or die in battle. There is no third possibility!
When the bell rang in the church school in the village, Loki took out the bloody stone axe and began to grind it hard.
He already had the answer in his heart.
