Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 23 1.23 The road out of the city

After hearing the sound, Loki turned around and saw a letter written on a thick book on the table.

Respect the Holy Emperor:

Thousands of years ago, Qin Shihuang unified the world, and all nations came to China to worship him. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the First Emperor was quite patient with foreign nations and their unique beliefs. As long as he sends envoys to the Central Plains to pay tribute, he can accept them as his subjects.

For these reasons, the First Emperor sent pre-Qin Qi masters to compile the "Tribute Map of the World" to draw a complete picture of the Nine Provinces, requiring clear knowledge of the appearance, characteristics, ancestral origins, living habits, etc. of all tribute subjects.

After reading this, Loki saw that under the letter, there was actually a piece of soft deerskin. When he spread it out, he saw that it was a hand-drawn "map of the world." On one side of the map are written the words "map of paying tribute to all the tribes in the world".

It's just that many details of the map are different from what I remember.

The First Emperor had more than enough ambition, but the Qin Dynasty's national power could not support such a lengthy and massive project.

In the early days of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the country's population was only ten million, less than one-tenth of our prosperous Tang Dynasty! Under such circumstances, it would be beyond his power to send Qi refiners to search for civilizations all over the world.

However, although there are many forgeries and haphazard writings in the "Tianxia Zhufan Shi Gong Tu" (for example, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to Penglai was simply made up out of thin air), it also records many remote and hidden places.

For example, [Sleeping City Hohenheim], after many investigations by officials, it is indeed a city!

When I first entered the city, I discovered that there were pre-Qin Qi masters massacring aliens and then killing each other in the city! I am responsible for the compilation of "General Map of the World: Submerged City Volumes". I wonder if this paragraph should be included in the book.

The purpose of compiling this map is to highlight the features of our great country. If someone who reads this picture takes it out of context and thinks that our country is full of cruel, bloodthirsty, murderous people, I'm afraid it will damage the face of our Eastern land, the Tang Dynasty.

"Prince Li Yu", our consul general in "Constantinople" on the Western Continent, ordered his ministers to bring Volume 5 of "General Map of the World" to meet with the envoys of the Kingdom of "Northumbria" in England to demonstrate our national strength.

I am about to travel, and I am carrying a simplified version with all sensitive content deleted. The truly compiled "Detailed Volume of the Submerged City" will be sent to Chang'an together with this letter for the Holy Emperor to read.

Note: I heard that the Holy Emperor was very interested in the pre-Qin Qi refiners. Wei Chen discovered the remains of a pre-Qin Qi refiner in the submerged city. According to Wei Chen's inference, if the ancient god's inner elixir really existed, it would most likely be in the body of this dead warrior.

As a recorder of history, I dare not touch it at will. It is left to the Holy Emperor to decide how to dispose of this body.

——Chen: Mo Yiquan

Beneath the letter was a volume five of "The General Map of the World" that was three times thicker than the book in his hand. Open this dictionary-like book. Loki found that all the pictures in this book had many more details than the one in his hand.

The original atlas only contained a map of the city and the plants in the city, without any description of the people who lived in the city or what specifically happened.

However, this book accurately depicts the dead red giants, fallen titans, their weapons and equipment, and the battle process inferred from their death costumes.

What surprised Loki was the thickness of the book and the details of the battles it contained. If this huge workload was completed by Mo Yiquan alone, he would have to live alone in the ruins of this tomb-like city for several years.

People need to eat.

How does he live?

Loki followed the raven and found that there was only fine ocean sand in the city, no soil, and no vegetation. Those huge red giants may also be able to eat the coral seaweed outside the city, but those things are highly toxic to humans.

And it’s almost impossible to see your fingers outside. All crops that humans can eat require sunlight. It simply cannot grow here.

Mo Yiquan was alone, working alone. Even if he could carry food several times his own weight like an ant, he would still finish it after a month.

(He must have a way to quickly travel between the sea and the underground!)

At the same time, Loki remembered a name: Prince Li Yu.

After Mo Yiquan walked out of the Sunken City with the sketch, he was ambushed by Father Walder of the Illuminati. Not only did he die at the hands of Old Wade, the sketch and the [Seal of Blood Sacrifice] also fell into his hands.

In Loki's opinion, his death must be related to Prince Li Yu. It's even possible that this man, like Old Walder, is a member of the Illuminati.

But the immediate priority is to find a way to return to the ground as soon as possible. Loki turned his head and looked again at the red statue placed in the center of the room. Now it seems that this statue is completely weird placed here.

Just light a fire outside the city, it's almost pitch dark. This is the only place in the city that has enough light. It was obvious that when Mo Yiquan was drawing the map, he transported every item in the city to this room for detailed drawing.

So the question is, why is this thing still standing here after the entire book has been spent? In hesitation, Loki sat down at the workbench again, threw away the letter, and opened the "General Atlas of the World Volume 5" which recorded all the details of the Sunken City.

On the last page of the book, Loki saw an introduction to the statue.

[Stone Sculpture of Bloody Creator]

This is a stone sculpture placed in the center of the city lord's palace in the submerged city. The stone sculpture is 1.42 meters high and weighs 112 kilograms. It is very old and can be traced back to the time of the ancient gods when Nuwa mended the sky.

According to Wei Chen's inference, this object should be the one that the [Scarlet Creator] brought with him when he came to Kyushu through the gap in the sky. Why carry stone sculptures?

After extensive research by pre-Qin Qi practitioners and detailed textual research by Wei Chen, I think there are two reasons:

1. All foreign gods come to the land of Kyushu to spread their faith.

Outer gods are different from the new gods that have appeared in modern times.

All the new gods, such as the Holy Bishop, the Holy Lord who died and lived, lived and died again. King Xin in the Vulcan Cult, and even Odin, the god-king worshiped by the hairy savages in the far north, all have the ability to "manifestation".

But the Old Gods rarely reveal their true form to mortals.

The way they spread their faith was by worshiping their statues. According to Chen's speculation, the [Scarlet Creator Stone Sculpture] is a creation that possesses this ability. Many red giants carry this item.

The pre-Qin Qi masters destroyed all the bloody stone sculptures of the Creator when they destroyed the city. Weichen discovered the only two remnants in an extremely hidden and remote place.

2. Wei Chen discovered that this stone sculpture has the method to break through time and space, avoid obstacles, and travel through time and space!

Under the statue, Mo Yiquan spent almost the same space as the statue itself, carefully drawing the one-inch-square [Seal of Blood Sacrifice].

The [Seal of Blood Sacrifice] was a tribute presented to the King of Qin by the [Blood Creator] thousands of years ago.

However, according to Wei Chen's analysis, this object is part of the "Stone Sculpture of the Bloody Creator".

Simply using the [Seal of Blood Sacrifice] to enter the submerged city is extremely complicated. Those who enter the city need to choose the appropriate time in the Xiaohan Sea and find the appropriate star position. Only then will the bright moon and the four stars heat the seawater with the light of the stars and the moon, allowing the seawater to accumulate energy.

The fog has been rising for more than ten days before the seawater in Xiaohan Sea can accumulate enough energy. Only mortals can use the [Seal of Blood Sacrifice] to separate the seawater and reveal the passage into the underwater city!

Entering the city this way would be extremely tedious and complicated, and would require a fair amount of luck. The [Scarlet Creator] clan originally wanted to use this method to keep King Qin from losing his dignity and avoid fighting at the same time.

The seawater channel can only be maintained for one day. After a day, the sea water gathered again, and even the powerful Qi Refiners of the pre-Qin Dynasty could not separate the sea water and rush to the surface. But they had no idea what kind of people these Qi Refiners were.

They still have not escaped the fate of genocide.

There are only two [Scarlet Creator Stone Statues], one is placed in Wei Chen's workshop, and the other is placed in a coastal cave in the Kingdom of Northumbria, England. To activate the stone statue, you need the [Seal of Blood Sacrifice] in your hand, so even if a herdsman finds it by chance, he cannot use it!

Seeing this, Loki couldn't help but shook his head.

It doesn’t take much effort to get through the iron shoes and find nowhere!

Showing the [Seal of Blood Sacrifice] in his hand, he looked at the [Scarlet Creator Stone Sculpture] not far in front of him.

He sighed, then laughed.
