Chapter 187 Tonsberg Town

Looking at everyone in the tavern, the man, or rather Li Ran, was not affected by the atmosphere in front of him.

He turned his eyes, went straight to the bar, and asked the bartender: "Do you know how to get to Tonsberg Town?"

"The town of Tonsberg?"

Silently wiping the wine glass in his hand, facing Li Ran's inquiry, the bartender raised his head and glanced at him, but then took it back, placed it back on the wine glass in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "I don't know. never heard of that."

Hearing the bartender's answer, Li Ran raised his eyebrows silently, took out a rattling money bag from his arms, poured out a few crowns from it and placed it on the bar, pushed it in front of the bartender and asked: "What now?"

Regarding the matter of traveling through Norway, Li Ran did not follow up, so it was naturally impossible to prepare currency.

In fact, the reason why Li Ran regained the NOK in his pocket was thanks to the enthusiastic 'help' of some people.

Putting down the wine glass that had been wiped clean in his hand, the bartender reached out and silently put away the crown in front of him, and then replied in a low voice: "The top of Tonsberg Bay, the place you want to find is right there." With that, the bar put the crown in his hand into his pocket, glanced at Li Ran in front of him, and then hesitantly said: "Also, try not to put your..."

"Tensberg Town, I know the location of that damn place."

boom--

Before the bartender could finish his words, a Nordic man with a big beard intervened.

He put down the wine bottle in his hand at the bar with a loud bang, and at the same time gave a fierce warning to the bartender on the other side of the bar. Then he turned to look at Li Ran in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice unceremoniously: "If you will give me two hundred, no, three hundred crowns, I will take you there."

As he spoke, the man looked greedily at the pocket of Li Ran's jacket.

He was sitting next to him just now and could clearly see Li Ran putting the bag full of coins back into his pocket.

"Can you really take me to the town of Tonsberg?"

Facing the bearded man's obviously malicious look, Li Ran asked as if he didn't notice it at all.

"Of course." Hearing this, the bearded man nodded his head without hesitation and grinned.

Across the way, the bartender kept making eye contact with Li Ran in front of him, reminding him of the problem with the beard.

However, Li Ran turned a deaf ear to this, as if he really believed Big Beard's lies.

"In that case, I'm in a hurry, let's set off now."

With that said, Li Ran stood up and walked out.

"no problem."

Picking up his own wine bottle, the bearded man smiled, and then he couldn't wait to follow.

"If I had known earlier, I would have gone up first just now!"

When the bearded figure disappeared from the bar, annoyance immediately erupted in the tavern.

"Damn it, I was the one who saw the money first."

"Listen to the sound of the money bags, there are hundreds of them!"

"More than that, I think there may be more."

Judging from the discussions in the tavern, they were not a nice bunch. In fact, as a country that started as a pirate, even if it has established an independent country, the blood of the Vikings still flows in their bones. Especially with the advance of the Japanese front, the country may perish at any time, and the law is no longer Strong constraints.

After more than ten minutes, some people in the bar gradually felt that something was wrong.

"Why hasn't Og come back yet?"

"Are you really going to Tonsberg Town with the guy from before?"

"Impossible. What good intentions does this bastard Ogg have? I think he hid secretly after taking the money."

"I also think that guy is a complete bastard. He even sold his dead mother's inheritance for money. I also saw before that he ran into a church to steal things just to drink. How could he be a guide with peace of mind.

And, does that guy know where the town of Tonsberg is? "

In the bar, there were constant sarcastic noises.

However, no one thought that this was the man named Ogg who appeared in front of them for the last time.

…

The town of Tønsberg, located at the top of Tønsberg Bay, is one of the oldest towns in Norway. Its rise was related to the developed whaling industry in the mid-19th century. However, with the end of the whaling industry, the town also fell into depression. A large number of shipyards have closed down, fishermen have lost their jobs, and the population of cities and towns has dropped from tens of thousands in its heyday to only a few thousand today.

"Master, we are here."

Under the darkness of night, a black car quietly came to the slightly deserted town.

In the driver's seat, a man with a big beard turned his head and said respectfully to the figure in the back seat.

Nodding, Li Ran turned his head and looked at the town in front of him through the car window.

At dusk, the town of Tonsberg was not popular at all. The weak street lights were lit near the road, which further highlighted the deserted appearance of the town.

Of course, the reason why Li Ran came here was not to observe these.

In fact, legends about Odin and the Cosmic Cube have been circulating in the town of Tunsberg since the past. This is the purpose of his coming here regardless of the hardship.

"Master, there is a church in front of you, do you need me..."

After stopping the car, Ogg looked at Li Ran who was deep in thought, then grinned, revealing two sharp fangs, and said flatteringly.

"Not needed yet."

Shaking his head, Li Ran looked at Ogg in front of him and replied unceremoniously.

Facing Li Ran's rejection, Ogg's expression showed no complaint at all, and he still answered respectfully. His whole appearance was completely different from the previous one in the tavern.

【Making a Vampire】

This is one of the vampire abilities of the character card [Dio Brando]. Through the ability, the target can be transformed into a vampire like himself.

The person who transforms into a vampire will have the same immortality as him, and can also steal the opponent's life force by sucking blood, but there is a certain gap between him and [Dio Brando] in terms of strength and regeneration. . To put it simply, the vampires transformed by [Dio Brando] are all degraded vampires and are controlled by him.

But even the degraded version of a vampire is still powerful, especially the ability to become immortal, which is an ability that everyone dreams of.

Stepping forward and getting out of the car door that Ogg opened, Li Ran looked up and stared at the church in front of him.

If his inference was correct, the Cosmic Cube should be hidden in this church.

However, the purpose of Li Ran's trip was not to take the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

Turning his head, he cast his gaze at Ogg beside him, who immediately understood and walked towards the door of the church.

…

"Father, do we really have to leave Norway?"

In the dark ancient castle, the solemn-looking middle-aged man looked at his old father in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

"Starting from our ancestors, our family has worked hard and built the foundation with great difficulty. If we are abandoned, we will have nothing."

"At least, we can survive." Facing his son's doubts, the old man wiped his glasses silently.

"The Nazi front has advanced to the border of Norway. Poland has been completely defeated. I have received news that King Haakon has intended to retreat to Britain. The entire country has no one left to fight."

"but……"

The man was extremely surprised by the news he received from his father. King Haakon had actually decided to abandon Norway. If such news spread, the entire country would fall into chaos.

"No buts!"

Putting on his glasses silently, the old man blinked his cloudy eyes and looked at his son: "Norway's end has been determined. By then, even if we want to leave, we will have no chance."

The old man's words made the man silent. He knew that his father's words were correct, but he couldn't accept them for a while.

"I have contacted everything. When we sell the property in Norway, we will go to the United States. The war in Japan is very far away from there. We can start everything over in the United States." Looking at the silent son in front of him, the old man He said something he couldn't believe: "After the war is over, we can come back and stand up again with our connections in the country."

"I understand, Father."

Although the hope was slim, the old man's words at least gave the man hope. He nodded silently and walked out of the study in front of him.

In the study, he silently watched his son's leaving figure, and then sighed for a long time.

He sat down again, took off his disguise, and showed a dazed attitude.

"You seem a little confused?"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind the old man.

"Who are you?"

Frowning, the old man turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a handsome blond man looking at him with a half-smiling expression.

"My name is Dio Brando."

Stepping forward to the other party, Dio Brando lowered his head and looked down at the old man in front of him: "At the same time, it is also the hope you have been looking for."

…

"They're coming!"

In the town of Tonsberg, accompanied by the deafening sound of artillery fire, a man dressed as a militiaman ran into the church in a hurry and shouted to a man inside the church.

"Been here before."

After coming down the stairs with difficulty, the pale-bearded old man heard the voice of the militiamen and said calmly.

"But this time it's different."

"They can't find it." The man with a deep voice and a pale beard replied decisively.

"It seems like something is different here?"

The pale bearded man's answer calmed down the militiaman's originally worried mood. He raised his head and scanned the church's layout, and then discovered something different. On the opposite wall, next to the mural originally depicting the World Tree, A mural appeared that I had never seen before.

"What's this?"

Noticing this, the militiaman's face suddenly showed a puzzled look: "The face in this mural..."

However, before the militiaman could reveal his inner doubts, the heavy crashing sound coming from outside the church in the next second made him feel relieved again.

"They are coming, these..."

Falling into panic again, the militiamen looked at the wall in front of them that was constantly shaking and cracking during the impact, and shouted in panic.

"Even if they come, it's impossible to find..."

Facing the panicked militiamen, the white-bearded old man kept shouting loudly, but it was obvious that his persuasion could not make the other party calm down.

boom--

The next moment, there was a loud noise.

A huge metal machine smashed open the church's solid door directly from the door to the wall, and the flying debris directly hit the panicked militiamen beside the white-bearded old man.

"..."

Lowering his head and looking at the fallen militiamen, the white-bearded old man had no time to feel sad. Then he saw a soldier in a Japanese military uniform rushing in, pushing him to the ground and facing the building in the center of the church. The huge coffin that looked like Odin began to be pushed forward neatly.

"Stop, you have no idea what you are doing!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, the white-bearded old man subconsciously stopped him.

"The fact is, we know exactly what we're doing."

As the old man with the white beard asked, a slightly sharp voice came from the door of the fallen church, and then a man wearing a uniform of a Japanese military officer stepped in. He looked at the old man with the white beard who fell on the ground, Then he gestured to the subordinate on the side.

Pulling the white-bearded old man up, John Schmidt raised his hand to straighten the other man's collar, and continued: "In fact, I have to praise you, because of your efforts, I spent a lot of time and energy I just found this place. I think you are a very far-sighted person, and you are very similar to me in this regard."

"I don't think we are the same person."

Faced with John Schmidt's praise, the white-bearded old man counterattacked without hesitation: "At least, I have been trying to protect the world instead of destroying it."

John Schmidt: "How can you be sure that I am sabotaging?"

"Countless people died because of the war."

"I want to create a more perfect and pure world."

The old man with the white beard knew very well that he could not convince a crazy guy like John Schmidt, whose goal was clear, but he still said with a glimmer of hope: "What you are looking for does not exist."

"Then why do you go to such trouble to hide it and hide in such a place in obscurity?"

With a sarcastic smile on his face, John Schmidt turned around and came to the sarcophagus on the side. He raised his hand and completely pushed the lid of the coffin, which had been pushed by the soldiers with the image of Odin on it.

With a bang, the sarcophagus in front of him was opened, and a wreckage with only white bones appeared in front of John Schmidt.

John Schmidt looked down into the sarcophagus. His eyes were first attracted by the transparent cube in the hands of the bones, but then he noticed the strange mask on the face of the bones. 8)
