Chapter 44 2.2 Hanshui Village Cathedral

Loki was not happy to give half of the silver coins he had worked so hard to get to Blood Pigeon Town.

But what could he do?

His village had no food in stock and everything needed to be rebuilt. He could wait until the next spring to go to the sea to salvage. Of course, he could get all the silver coins, but by that time, at least 70% of the population of Hanshui Village would have starved to death.

He had to find a way to get the silver coins out this winter.

This was the only way.

To achieve this goal, it was not realistic to rely solely on the Viking hunters of Hanshui Village. Loki threw the silver coins into the sea a thousand meters away from the coastline. The seabed here was a hundred meters deep. Ordinary people would be frozen to death if they could not swim to the bottom of the sea in the mixture of ice and water at 0 degrees.

To get the silver coins out, he could only ask for help from the "Chosen One" in the neighboring Blood Pigeon Town. Doing so would certainly make him lose a large part of the silver coins, but there were also two benefits.

1. Pull an ally

Among the vassals of the valley, Blood Pigeon Town was the largest town. It is also the top combat force under Duke Bernard.

Blood Pigeon Town was dragged into the water by him. At least if Duke Bernard is held accountable in the future, it is better to tie Blood Pigeon Town and Hanshui Village together than to single out Hanshui Village.

2. Loki needs to use Blood Pigeon Town to win over other forces and cultivate his own team.

The Vikings have long believed that there is no continent west of the North Sea. This concept was instilled in them by the rulers and is a means of rule they use.

There are Tang people's shops in the "Conqueror's Fortress" of Viking King "Sabertooth" O'Sullivan. At this time, the earth is moving towards globalization in the pace of the two "Silk Roads" of land and water. If the lords still firmly believe that there is no continent west of the North Sea under this situation,

then they are probably all fools.

**

Why don't the Viking lords look for a westward route? Loki believes there are two possibilities.

1. North Sea

In the process of going west, the English are not terrible, but the North Sea is terrible.

The width of the North Sea is more than three times that of the Baltic Sea.

For the Vikings who drove simple long ships, the difficulty of crossing the sea increased sharply. Crossing the Baltic Sea to the east, 10 out of 10 ships will definitely reach the opposite coast. But how many of the 10 long ships that set out into the North Sea will float to the English Isles?

If you are unlucky, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out in the storm.

2. Be content with a small fortune

This generation of Viking lords had no intention of becoming kings. Their goal was only to rule the barren Scandinavian Peninsula, and it was easy to achieve this goal by ruling this barren land and occasionally heading east to rob Slavic towns.

In this case, they had no need to gamble their entire family on the fate of the country and put all their lives on being able to safely cross the North Sea.

In the vast ocean, if you are a little bit unlucky in any link, you will lose everything!

However, the wishes of the rulers in all dynasties were not necessarily the needs of the people.

In the minds of all feudal rulers, "making the people suffer" seemed to be a very low-cost option. "People" are the most abundant thing for feudal rulers. As long as men and women are together, whether they are poor or rich, they will give birth to more people.

What is "people"?

But the people themselves don't think so.

People of all dynasties want to make money and want their children to grow up in a richer and safer environment. When Loki revealed to the current mayor of Blood Pigeon Town, Blind Mountain Blood Pigeon's father "Hummel Blood Pigeon", that there was a rich land west of the North Sea, he sneered and disdained it.

However, when Loki took out a "Silver Coin of Eller III" hidden in the sole of his shoe and told him that there were thousands of them on the seabed, the old man couldn't sit still.

"As long as you help me fish it up, I can give half to Blood Pigeon Town!"

Hearing this, old man Hummel's blood pressure soared. He organized people to weave ropes by hand overnight to break the frozen sea surface. The next day, he personally led the team to run outside the port. Seeing his excitement, he even wanted to jump into the ice cave and fish in the sea.

At that moment, Loki immediately saw clearly that as long as he raised his arm, I am afraid that these village chiefs would be willing to follow him to the rich English Islands to pan for gold.

What he needed was that old man Hummel passed the news to other village chiefs.

"There is a rich land west of the North Sea. On that land, even the young man in Hanshui Village who has not grown all his hair can lead a dozen men to rob a large amount of gold and silver!"

The weakness of Hanshui Village made Loki himself have little say. But the same words spoken by old man Hummel were different! In the autumn of next year, as long as he grasped the will of the people, he would not be afraid that Bernard would do something to him again.

Back in Hanshui Village, he once again rejected the enthusiastic sister-in-law's request to "warm up with a group sex" and hurriedly escaped from her arms in the name of "inspecting work".

He crawled out of the bathtub, put on his clothes and walked out of the castle, letting the cold wind blow on his chest. He had to use this cold wind to quickly delete his sister-in-law's warm body from his memory.

It was terrible!

If he continued to fool around like this, he really didn't know how long his virginity would last. While shivering slightly from the cold, he quickly walked towards the east of the village.

Although it is already the twelfth lunar month of winter, this place is a busy mirror. The silver coins salvaged from the seabed a few days ago have been transferred to the villagers of Blood Dove Town to help him exchange for wood at Storm's End.

The holy bishop Jerome was directing Sanchi's work with a roll of papyrus. Several monks who came to Hanshui Village with Jerome enthusiastically helped. After a month of forced learning, they were able to communicate simply in Viking with the villagers in Hanshui Village.

The environment around you is the best language teacher. This saying is indeed true.

"I said, brother, it's almost done. Look, it's getting dark. Do you still want to build a church in three days? Impossible!" After a month, Jerome and Loki quickly became familiar with each other. stand up. Especially after he used holy light magic to help the injured Sanji and his son recover.

He immediately gained the friendship of all the villagers in Hanshui Village.

“If you work harder, the school can open earlier! Oh my god, you can’t even imagine what I saw yesterday!

"A pair of brothers practiced martial arts with swords in the narrow cajon, and a five-year-old child followed suit with a steel knife! Several times they almost cut the child!"

"That's not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that after the two people competed, their bodies were covered with wounds. They dripped blood from the wounds into the cup, mixed it with strong liquor and drank it together! Not only did they drink it themselves, but they also gave it to the children! He said he wanted to have a grandson soon!"

"That kid who's not even as old as you is already thinking about how to be a grandfather! My Holy Lord! I traveled around with my teacher, and I saw a lot of barbarians, but none of them were like you Vikings. horrible!"

Jerome looked disgusted, but Loki laughed and patted his shoulder hard. He still remembered what Ahai, the "Learned One", said to him before he died.

“You go into darkness and find light.”

(This is true. I have indeed found the light)

Loki looked up at the church under construction. This building cost him one-third of his silver coins and was the largest building in Hanshui Village except Hanshui Castle.

The entire church battlefield covers an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters, with one underground floor and three above ground floors. The church is equipped with classrooms, dining halls, chapels, monks' dormitories, etc. The specifications are completely in accordance with the standard chapel required by the Holy See.

Even for the 12 saints required in the church, Jerome drew a sample for the carpenter Sanchi and asked him to carve it carefully.

Loki approved all of Jerome's requests. In his opinion, the villagers had nothing to do in the winter. Rather than letting them get drunk every day, it was better to enter a mission school to learn the culture, writing and mathematical algorithms of the Western Continent. Therefore, this building must reflect its importance.

If he, the village chief, doesn't pay attention to education, how can he fool his villagers into picking up textbooks?

"I heard that you kicked out the woman I assigned you again? This is not the right thing to do!" Loki whispered in his ear, "Those rough Slavic men are all stupid and disgusting. But their women are tall, slender, and white, and they are all the best!”

"The other monks and brothers are very comfortable every night! Why do you still look like an old scholar? You said that no gods in the sky can see you in my remote land. Stop being so tense!"

"It's okay to just turn off the lights at night and just kill time!"

The population of Hanshui Village is really too small. When he was poor, he might still need birth control, but now that he was rich, he wished every male in the village would take action immediately.

The women given to other people were just that. The Slavic girl given to Jerome was personally selected by Loki for him. She has big breasts, a slim waist, and long legs, and her face and figure are all those of a standard model.

Jerome turned his head in disdain and pushed Loki's big face aside.

"hehe!"

"Every night I don't have enough time to copy teaching materials for the children! Why don't you have time to spend with a woman? I pushed that woman away because she snored like a pig when she fell asleep! It interfered with my work!"

"If you really have no place to sleep because of the shortage of housing, please send someone who can sleep more quietly at night! It's better than that Slavic woman whose voice, body odor, and physical desires are like animals!"

"You are awesome"

Loki was speechless, really not knowing what to say.
