Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 81 3.4 Meeting the royal family for the first time

In the following days, Loki was making preparations to go to sea.

This journey is no different than going to England. Although Loki did not have a clear world map in his mind, he also knew that finding Iceland was much more difficult than finding England.

This time when he goes to sea, he will lead the only remaining three-masted ship and the Tang Dynasty ship that his "father-in-law" returned to him. The two ships would probably carry about sixty people. After all, the biggest goal of this operation is to find the ships left on the coast by "Xiao Lu"'s scientific expedition team.

After finding the ships, Loki needs enough manpower to sail the ships back to Scandinavia from distant Iceland. Thus, he must have enough men on board.

Secondly, there is food.

The Chinatown ship, which had an outstanding carrying capacity, was filled with supplies by Loki. In addition, he also brought along Aunt Favna who had just been promoted to "Sea Folk" in the "Fisherman Path" Sequence 9 in the village. Although this one-legged aunt lost one of her legs in the battle, her heroic fighting behavior was seen by the gods, who granted her the status of the Chosen One at the age of forty.

Although this is not a battle sequence, having a "sea citizen" who is good at fishing will greatly increase the team's endurance when sailing on the ocean. This allows Rocky to reserve more storage space for fresh water and rely on fishing to maintain his rations on the sea.

Also aboard were two navigators who had awakened the "Sailor" sequence. There are two people, a boy and a girl, both of whom are Viking fishermen in the village. After several days of observation, Loki discovered that the "Wind Listener" in Sequence 9 of the "Sailor Path" could easily identify ocean currents and sea breezes, and determine the wind direction in the following days.

This is the only divine power they have, but for Loki it is magical enough.

In this medieval era, when there were no satellites or weather forecasts, being able to judge the current and wind direction in the following days was already a function similar to that of a half-weather forecaster, and it was very useful in the vast sea.

In addition to people, he also bought 12 sled dogs with the gold and silver given by his father-in-law. This large hunting dog, a cross between a direwolf and a shepherd dog, was used by Viking farmers to guard their homes. But Rocky clearly remembered that during the Antarctic scientific expeditions in the 17th and 18th centuries, the icebreaker of the Royal Academy of Sciences was frozen in the ice and unable to move. The privately organized expeditions used dog-pulled sledges to cross the entire continent in a very primitive way.

In case Iceland is still a frozen continent in early spring, these dogs will come in handy.

When selecting villagers to join the ocean-going ship, Loki had carefully prepared a speech. Spring is the season when all things come to life. Hunters go into the mountains to hunt, and farmers plow the land and sow. He had never thought that anyone would be willing to go on this life-defying adventure with him. But I didn’t expect that the registration site would be extremely popular.

Just one winter ago, all the residents of Hanshui Village still remember the sight of several young men in their twenties with their pockets full of gold and silver. Then they happily went to the Hall of Valor together and they haven’t come back yet. I don’t know how many potions they have drank so far!

The honest Vikings were not jealous, because they knew that these people could plunder such a huge amount of gold and silver from the other side of the sea, and they must have paid a high price. But at this time, a seed has been buried in everyone's heart

"Follow the village chief to go to sea, and you will definitely gain huge rewards!"

"The village chief is the reincarnation of Loki. He can lead us to win a war with such a huge disparity in proportions. He can also lead his subordinates to wear gold and silver!"

Although Loki had explained time and time again, this trip to sea was not a robbery, but an expedition. Residents' enthusiasm remains undiminished. Among these people, the one who jumped the highest was Sanchi's father, Gol Marash.

The restless blacksmith had been waiting for this opportunity for too long.

"Master Loki, look at my arms, look at these two strong legs! They all say that I am old, but I can still control thunder and lightning!"

"Take me on the handle of the boat and let me do whatever you want! Repair the boat, row the oars, wash the floor, fish, cook. I'm still young. I have a strong bone, and I am the newly promoted God's Chosen One on the Path of Thor! Watch me perform for you."

Seeing that this old guy was about to swing a hammer and hit a set of military punches in front of everyone, Loki hurriedly stopped him.

"Sir, please calm down. You are not in the village. What will happen to the blacksmith shop?"

"Haha! The blacksmith shop doesn't need me at all. In fact, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm not very good at this craft for a long time. Almost all the things used in the village recently were forged by my disciples."

"Sure, come and do it"

The subsequent selection process lasted almost a day and a night. Loki chose young people from the village who were good at driving ships. After all, the main goal of this trip to sea is to pick up trash. Pick up the relics left behind by the pre-Qin Qi masters after their death, as well as the ships left by Xiao Lu on the seaside, etc.

It takes at least five people to pilot a Chinatown boat. After selecting almost all the experienced boatmen in the village and training them all for several days, Loki finally decided on the final candidate.

If everything goes well for this trip, it won't take more than a month to go back and forth. If it didn't go well, he couldn't tell how long it would take. During his absence, Loki was not worried as Wenzov was in charge of the "Foggy Duck Town Production Brigade".

In his own village, Loki pondered for a long time whether to bring Jerome, the top fighting force of Hanshui Village. But he found that with Aunt Favna leaving with him, only Jerome seemed to be able to help him manage the daily production work in Hanshui Village. After all, at this time, about one-third of the villagers in Hanshui Village believed in and supported the Holy Bishop.

There is no doubt that it will be easier to manage the village with him as the imam.

As for the position of security captain, Loki assigned it to the newly promoted "Valkyrie" Katya. Jerome's new wife had already proven her fighting ability during the siege of Hanshui Village. With Katja's help and the large number of chosen ones awakened during the battle, Hanshui Village can withstand the ordinary foreign enemies on the peninsula without any worries.

After finishing all the preparations, the night before departure. The melodious flute sound suddenly sounded at the entrance of Hanshui Village. A completely black carriage pulled by four snow-white horses appeared at the entrance of Hanshui Village amid the music of musicians.

Opening the way for the carriage were 16 knights holding spears, and behind the carriage were at least 50 fully armed shield and axemen.

The guard guarding the gate rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure that what appeared in front of him was not an illusion, then he hurriedly opened the city gate and knelt down respectfully.

After the carriage entered the village, all the villagers along the way saw the saber-toothed leopard flag on the carriage and bowed respectfully. At this moment, everyone spontaneously forgot about Loki's decree that "men must not kneel before others."

Because the flags and clan emblems hanging on this carriage are really too dazzling.

The carriage traveled smoothly and arrived in front of Hanshui Castle. After being reminded by Loki's maid, he walked out of the door and saw the saber-tooth leopard emblem of Viking King "Saber-Tooth" O'Sullivan.
