Rebirth of the Viking King

The First Emperor unified the six kingdoms and made the country extremely powerful.

In order to seek immortality, he sent millions of monks to the ends of the earth to kill the gods of the world and refine the elixir of immortality.

What is said on the first page is no different from "Volume 15" compiled by Mo Yiquan. What follows is a rather lengthy elaboration. Loki quickly skipped it and remembered only two points.

1. This book records an island, which was named "kuai eclipse island" by pre-Qin Qi masters.

There is only one name, everything else is recorded as 0.

2. The compiler of this book is not Mo Yiquan, but another Tang Dynasty explorer "Xiao Lu".

Judging from the calligraphy written on the papyrus, this Xiao Lu is a somewhat gay person. His handwriting is neat and elegant. The writing is very clean and tidy, just like printing, and the distance and size between each word are exactly the same.

It took about 5 minutes for Loki to finish reading the first page by the candlelight. When he turned to the second page, he instantly realized why the "doorman" wanted to exchange books with Old Walder.

Each page of this book only has half a picture!

Except for the "General Chapter" on the first page, the entire book looks like a typographical error, with only 14 on the left half of the page showing. Others are like a clear dividing line, neatly cutting off all information.

The 14 pieces of paper with pictures are the same as the "Sinking City" volume painted by Mo Yiquan. The vivid map drawn with gold, silver and cinnabar is very familiar.

The right half of the page is all clean papyrus without a single ink spot!

Loki blinked hesitantly. It would not be unusual if a modern printer printed a book like this, since the printer can control within 001 millimeters of each ink dot.

But the ancients used brushes to draw ancient books! The thinnest wolf hair brush has a thickness of about 1 mm.

If you want to hide the left half of the page as accurately as laser cutting, the only feasible way is to place another piece of paper on the left page, and after drawing the complete picture, remove the other piece of paper to use as a dividing line.

It can be said that, but if you really want to use pencils in this way, it may be okay, but brushes are extremely difficult.

The most important question is: why?

If a book is divided up and down, you may still be able to read it. After all, line after line of words are parallel. Only the first half of the book can at least read the previous part of the story, and then use the other half of the next page to associate the missing part in the middle.

And this way of breaking pages left and right makes each sentence only a small part. In this case, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

The text of "Tangrenxing" was very literate. After reading half a sentence with difficulty for a while, Loki shook his head and put the book helplessly into his arms. When he turned around, he saw Jerome standing quietly behind him at some point.

It was obvious that he had been standing for a long time.

"My guess is indeed correct. You can really read and speak Chinese fluently!"

Staring at Loki with sharp eyes, Jerome walked into the cabin, brought a chair and sat across from him. He has seen that Loki is not a murderer, and he can be more arrogant in front of him.

"Mr. Jerome, thank you for your help these days. I will let you go after we sail the ship back to Lindisfar Monastery!"

"From now on, you will walk on your Yangguan Road, and I will walk on my single-plank bridge. I promise you will never see me again in this life."

"We have had a very difficult day. Now I really want to take the time to get some sleep because we have to sail overnight, so if you don't mind"

The eviction order was clearly issued, but Jerome on the other side had no intention of leaving. Not only that, he used Loki's rather tired effort to grab the ancient book in his arms. Spread it out on the table.

"Mr. Jerome, I respect you as a respectable Holy Bishop, but this does not mean that you can"

Just as he was about to speak, Jerome raised his hands.

The rich holy light given to him by the Holy Bishop's "Righteous Path" gathered in his hands. As he softly recited the prayer, the holy light flowing like a watermark poured onto the ancient scroll. Loki was surprised to find that the other half of the page was blank. A picture composed of light appeared on the papyrus paper!

In this way, it actually completes the complete appearance of this book!

Loki was stunned, but Jerome, who was sitting opposite him, took away the Holy Light at the right time and the room returned to darkness in an instant.

"You, you" pointed at Jerome tremblingly, and Loki lost all sleep.

"Mr. Kidnapper, a ruler is short but an inch is long!"

"My profession is that of a gospel transcriber for the Church of Lindis, but when I was young, I studied under the 'saint' Euseubi after all. I have seen ancient books compiled by major saints in various ages in Rome. ”

"This book is held in the hands of pagans, and there is no way to discover the secrets hidden in it. Because this is an ancient book compiled by a high-sequence person of the Holy Bishop's 'demigod' level!"

"Only high-sequence strong men under the two paths of "Justice" and "Holy Light" can possibly reveal the secrets hidden in the second half of the book!"

Explosion was the only feeling in Loki's chaotic brain.

At this time, he finally understood why even a shrewd "gatekeeper" would want to replace the book in his hand. Given his status, he must have tried every method he could to try to make the other half of the blank page appear.

But even if he wanted to break his head, he would never have imagined that Xiao Lu, who was responsible for compiling the volume of "General Map of the World and the Damage to the Country", turned out to be a Holy Bishop who had reached the realm of demigods!

(Haha, let alone you, even if I lived two lives, I would never have imagined that a Tang person would go to the "barbarian" country at that time and join the barbarian religion)

This kind of thing is as terrible as a university professor from Chiguo going to a certain Belt and Road country in Africa and joining a hunting tribe.

What's even more frightening is that he also became an important official in this hunting tribe.

If Jerome hadn't "happened" to come to his cabin, he might have been unable to solve this mystery for the rest of his life.

"Ahem"

"Mr. Jerome, what do you want?"

Loki knew that for devout believers like them, money, women, and even lives were not important to them, so he simply omitted the use of coercion and inducement.

"Take me to Scandinavia."

"Use the money you robbed to build me a church."

I????

Many of Jerome's words can greatly expand Loki's knowledge. Use the money I stole from this church to build a new church for this big brother in Hanshui Village.

This is crazy

Does this mean that I am robbing myself?

Loki stared at Jerome's face expressionlessly for a full minute, finally confirming that this devout missionary was not talking nonsense.

"Viking is a bitter cold place. I don't need to describe to you how bad the living environment there is. Just look at us people and you will know."

"If the land can produce full fruits, if the prey produced in the fertile mountains can meet everyone's daily needs, why would we need to put our heads in our belts and go out to rob homes every day?"

The expression on Jerome's face was neither sad nor happy, and he was not moved at all.

"When you arrive in our village, everyone has to work. Because if you don't work, you won't have food! You don't have to think that like Northumbria, a large number of people will voluntarily give their property to the church. It’s simply impossible!”

"In times of disaster, the whole village will go out to sea in long boats to plunder. It's just you. Can you swing your ax with us, kill innocent passers-by, and plunder their property?"

Without thinking, Jerome softly said two words.

"I can."
