Chapter 37 1.37 Tang Dynasty Ship
Oh my god, what did I see? ?
Volume 16? !
And the old guy just said the word "change", did I hear it right? !
I shouldn't have heard it wrong!
Loki tried to stay calm. He reached out and grabbed the book, but he didn't dare to look at it and stuffed it into his arms. The bodies of Luo Zhanggui and Gou Chaofeng, who had just turned over two pages of the book, were on the ground less than 3 meters away from him.
Their blood was even hot.
"Old Walder can give you such an important task. Does this mean that he wants to train you to be his disciple?"
"I don't know whether he is a disciple or not, but as I said just now, we met on the land of the Slavs. At that time, I followed the lord's looting team to plunder the Slavic villages and met him in a village. This is also the fate of the two of us!"
The "gatekeeper" stared at Loki's eyes for two minutes. He didn't find any flaws on his face.
There is no doubt that the "General Map of the World" in his hand is real. Gou Chaofeng had just said that his book was filled with the smell of official seals in the palace, and there was also a faint smell of blood.
Gou Chaofeng's nose was trustworthy. It was a pity that both he and Manager Luo had seen this book, and they were not core members of the Illuminati.
Coincidentally, they were both Tang people.
They must die.
In the Illuminati, each member must manage his own branch. Each branch has a different management method.
Among them are wanderers like Old Wald who wander around alone, and behind-the-scenes bosses like "doormen" who have a big family and a big business. Branches cannot interfere in other people's affairs, nor can they arbitrarily dispose of members of other branches.
The doorman didn't know why Old Wald gave the precious ancient book to Loki, and he didn't want to know. But the person sitting in front of him was Old Wald's man, and he couldn't execute him at will, which was an indisputable fact.
Looking back at a few more pages of "The Scroll of the Sunken City", the doorman's face showed a bit of hideousness. The duties of the Illuminati are secretive and great. If it weren't for the "Master" giving the "Submerged City Volume" to Old Walder, I'm afraid I would have already found this city, found the pre-Qin Qi-refining masters in it, and got the treasures from them.
Humph, Walder, you old thing!
After spending several years, you still can't find a way, and you still have to return this book to me? !
As for the other side, Loki's eyes were open. But in fact, he was the only one in the room who knew that the overall map of the world on Old Walder was simply a defective version made by Mo Yiquan. If he hadn't accidentally brought him into the foggy sea, he would never have found the entrance to the submerged city in his lifetime.
What's more, he used the "Blood Sacrifice Seal" to break the sea water. Looking at the facial expression of the guard, he obviously knew nothing about the "Blood Sacrifice Seal". With just one book
What else can I say except wishing you good luck?
"My mission has been completed. Does this gentleman have anything else you want me to bring back to Master Walder?" Loki asked casually. If the guard hadn't said it himself, he wouldn't have known about the book exchange.
In the case of a serious information gap, the longer it drags on, the more loopholes there are. After getting the book from the guard, he stood up and tidied his clothes, not planning to stay any longer.
"Nothing else"
"Oh, by the way, don't forget to tell him that the 'master' is about to return! It should be in the next few years if nothing unexpected happens! During the 'master's meeting', don't forget to ask him to return the book to me!"
"After all, the value of the book in my hand is much higher than his, if not..."
The guard hesitated and only said half of this last sentence.
"There is one last thing," Loki looked into the guard's eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Can you lend me a ship, sir?"
"I am a Viking and often travel near the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Father Wade said that I need a disguised identity to cover my true background. He said that you have ships that can meet the needs of ocean voyages. Let me give you the book and then borrow one from you"
When Loki said this, his eyes were open and there was no fear in his heart. When he regained his composure, he immediately brought up Old Ward and the Illuminati, using this as an excuse to carry out his original purpose.
Borrow a boat.
With mature technology, a wooden boat is not worth a lot of silver, and it is even less for a big family like Izumo Trading Company. Especially when the "doorman" seems to be in a good mood.
He should not refuse.
The "doorman" waved his hand nonchalantly, not caring about his "humble" request at all. As the behind-the-scenes boss of Izumo Trading Company, his dock is always docked with nearly a hundred merchant ships of various colors.
These ships are busy traveling through the North Sea, the English Channel and the Strait of St. George all day long, transporting tens of thousands of tons of goods from the inland route to the English Isles.
A mere boat is not worth mentioning compared to the "sunken city".
An hour later, a messenger brought Loki, Sartre and Jerome to the Tangren dock. Looking around, dozens of ships were docked at the dock to load and unload goods.
The dark-skinned Kunlun slaves boarded the boats and loaded the large wooden boxes onto the carriages to be transported to the city. The busy docks seemed crowded, but they were in good order. Walking along the shore, Loki was surprised to find that the Tang people's shipbuilding technology was much better than he had imagined.
The "building ship" commonly used by the Tang people has three floors and can carry more than 100 tons. It is equipped with not only two masts in front and back, but also a triangular mast used by three-masted ships to control the direction. After walking and stopping, Loki suddenly found a snow-white and slender "yacht" among a group of ships flying red flags.
The whole body of the ship is decorated with fancy cloth decorations, and the bow is a golden figurehead holding a trident. Seeing that Loki was interested in the ship, the servant beside him asked in English: "Are you interested in this ship?"
"This is the ship of the king's sister, the Duchess of Hall of Dragonfly Island. If you like this ship, I will take you there."
"Isn't this the king's sister's ship?"
"Hehe!" The servant beside him laughed softly, "In this city, as long as it is not the head of Ele III, no matter what we want, the king will satisfy us."
"Even if the old king is asked to move the queen to our shopkeeper's room in the middle of the night, the old guy will do it immediately without saying a word!"
When the servant said this, he almost put his hands on his waist and raised his belly. Loki laughed dryly a few times, and vaguely felt that what the servant said was not too exaggerated.
In order to allow the Tang people to move in, they have already given up the palace. What else can't be given up? What's more, this country with a population of only hundreds of thousands can have what it is today. Everyone knows that this group of Tang people is the God of Wealth who led them to make a fortune.
Who wants to offend these financiers?
In the end, Loki did not choose the Duchess's slender white ship, but found a seemingly ordinary Tang Dynasty ship. With a carrying capacity of 100 tons and about 30 berths in the cabin, the ship is well maintained. More importantly, a fully functional "compass car" is installed in the captain's room.
This is a navigation tool developed by the Tang people after they discovered the magic of magnets.
Before there was a compass, Loki could only rely on the rising and setting of the sun and the stars in the night sky to determine the direction. With a compass, even if the sky is overcast, he can rely on this thing to find another way.
Very practical.
After an hour, when the sun gradually set in the west and approached the sea, the Kunlun slaves hired by the Tang people moved a large amount of food, fresh water, cotton and linen bedding and other daily necessities onto the ship. After learning of Loki's true identity, the guard sent someone to return the half box of silver coins taken from the carriage.
But the silver cross was not returned to him.
When the sun was about to take away the last ray of light, Loki, Satyr and Jerome set sail. After the ship drifted with the wind, Loki collapsed on the deck almost exhausted.
He only felt his temples beating constantly. That was a signal that his brain was on the verge of collapse after overthinking.
This time, entering Yorkshire, facing this group of Tang merchants whose combat power was at the top of the world at that time brought him unparalleled pressure.
This feeling was like a naked baby facing a group of adult greedy wolves. The Tang people had a crushing trend on him in terms of money, strength or manpower.
The three of them were able to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth and get a ship and retreat unscathed. This relied on his brain working to the limit and a lot of luck.
Fortunately, the god Odin has not abandoned him. Not only did he get a boat, but he also got another "General Map of the World" by coincidence in Jiyuan.
Lying on the deck for a while, the evening breeze blew slowly. A light lit up in the lonely boat sailing close to the coast.
Loki slowly took out the 16th volume of "Overall Map of the World" from his arms!
