Rebirth of the Viking King

After an afternoon of detailed chatting, Oleg saw that Loki really had the idea of ​​building the Hahoran Temple, so he found several other Chosen Ones who were hidden among the Slavic slave laborers.

All four of these people were in ragged clothes and looked haggard, and they didn't look like they were the chosen ones. After careful understanding, Loki learned the whole story.

These guys are similar to the Beastmaster Hunters in the online game "World of Warcraft". They lost their beasts in the battle, and their divine power was greatly reduced. During their more than ten years of slavery, they barely managed to survive. Their survival depends on nine points of luck and one point of not having the courage to commit suicide.

If they want to build the Hahoran Temple, the first thing they need is 6 "original statues". The way Hydra Hahoran bestows power upon mortals is through the decaying wooden statue of the god.

In other words, this temple requires six ancient statues of the giant bear, greedy wolf, elk, eagle and mammoth. The terrible thing is that this thing cannot be re-carved by the hands of a carpenter. Statues that can bestow divine power on mortals can only be "relics of the gods" carved and passed down by the "gods" when "Hydra Hahoran" came to the world a thousand years ago.

"I know where to look for this thing!" Oleg said confidently.

"Twenty-five years ago, the temple where I worked was located in the cold Big Bear Mountains. Suddenly one day a lost Viking warrior came from nowhere!"

"He walked into the shrine without saying a word and killed everyone he saw. I was the only chosen one guarding the shrine that day. But I am an "eagle possessor" who practices the "Eagle Path". My ability is not there Instead of fighting, I act as a scout, transmitting my spiritual consciousness into the body of the goshawk that is connected to my life, and seeing things from a high altitude.”

"When the battle started, all the old people who were staying in the temple were thrown out of the door to fight. Only I put away all the five statues and moved them under the big tree outside the temple. I did not take the time to escape, but took these The statues are all buried under the trees.”

"These seemingly ordinary wood carvings can easily be destroyed by a Viking warrior with an axe, but only I know that these are relics of gods that cannot be mass-produced at all. I firmly believe that one day I will regain my freedom and return to that place. Dig these statues out of the abandoned temple!"

After hearing what Oleg said, Loki touched his chin and glanced at him hesitantly. From the outside, this person looks like he is suffering from hatred, old and frail.

But if you observe his eyes carefully, is it possible that there is no hint of cunning in his eyes?

Loki's intuition told him that he had.

But for the time being, he couldn't figure out whether this person wanted to find a good position in Hanshui Village, or whether he wanted to use his own hands to send him back to his hometown and take the opportunity to escape.

Both possibilities exist.

In this war with Wuya Town, Hanshui Village had the last laugh. But it is a well-known fact that Loki and Duke Bernard are openly at odds with each other. If Duke Bernard goes bankrupt and fights for his life in Coldwater Village, Coldwater Village will not be able to resist the 800 Viking shield and axemen of Storm's End at this time.

All of them will be crushed like eggshells on the soles of shoes.

But conversely, Hanshui Village's rising momentum is also visible to everyone. Especially for this group of Slavic slaves. Looking at the entire Scandinavia Peninsula, and even the Slavic countries on the east coast of the Baltic Sea, there are not many villages and towns with a higher standard of living than Hanshui Village.

In this chaotic medieval era, "everyone is equal" was a concept that no one had ever seen before. Only Hanshui Village can see so many different beliefs and completely different management and business philosophies.

Do you want to trust him?

Regarding this issue, Loki still tends to believe it. Because this is not a big loss for him.

All you need to pay is a long boat and a few slave workers. Even if Oleg really betrays his trust and runs away, he is completely able to accept this result.

The existence of the Temple of Hahoran is not required. There are still countless new gods and a lot of prehistoric civilizations in this plane waiting to be discovered. Not to mention anything else, but he has not taken the time to study Volume 16 of the "General Map of the World" that he exchanged from the mysterious guard of "Izumo Trading Company".

To sum up, it is: no accidents, blood profit. Even if there is an accident, all kinds of accidents are within the scope that you can accept.

After returning the eagle statue to Oleg, Loki visited the living environment of the slave laborers in Lower Slavia.

There were originally 170 residents in Hanshui Village, but now, after all the residents of Wuya Town were plundered, the population of the town has increased to 372.

The originally spacious village immediately seemed a little crowded.

And it was late winter again. The soil in the village is as hard as steel at low temperatures, and the construction of new houses must wait until the next spring. Therefore, the Slavic slave workers can only temporarily live in the spare rooms of the Cold Water Castle. During the day, they worked with other villagers in Hanshui Village, repairing houses and burying bodies.

At night, they can only sleep in houses with 10 people per room. Some of them have no place to sleep and can only sleep in the corridor.

However, even in this environment, the slave workers felt that it was much better than the previous slave shacks. When Loki passed by, they all nodded in greeting to the Lord.

"Make sure each of them has at least two sets of clothes and a bed of animal skins to keep out the cold." Loki warned the butler Wenzov beside him.

"I borrowed a batch of silver coins from Blind Mountain. On days when the wind and snow are a little weaker, I went to Storm's End to buy a load of warm clothes and brought them back. At least these brothers can wear something warm first."

When Loki wanted to buy something before, he would ask Blind Mountain to send out the Blood Pigeon Town hunting team to help with the purchase. However, now that Hanshui Village has completely broken up with Duke Bernard, he has nothing to hide.

When escorting these poor people from Wuya Town back to Hanshui Village. Hummel unceremoniously took away the gold and silver accumulated by Old Gonk, leaving only the low-quality food found in Foggy Duck Town to Loki. There is enough grain in the village. How can the villagers of Hanshui Village, who are used to eating fine grains and meat, like these dry and hard corns, sprouted potatoes and sweet potatoes?

This group of Slavic slave workers didn't care. When they saw Rocky moving the low-quality food to the entrance of the village and trying to throw it away, they sneaked to the entrance of the village in the middle of the night and stole a few bags back. They threw the sprouted potatoes and sweet potatoes into the coal ashes, roasted them half-cooked and then ate them in their mouths. Rise.

Wenzov couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this, and gave each of them a double dose of meat and bread during dinner the next day, but this still didn't help. This group of slave workers seemed to have never had enough to eat in their lives. As long as they saw food, they would tirelessly stuff it into their stomachs.

Ten years of slavery

Humans have completely turned into animals.
