Chapter 269 6.17 Ulysses Elan (3)

"It has been rumored in the English Isles that Hummel Blood Pigeon was not the first Viking to cross the North Sea!"

"As early as the late autumn two years ago, the 'Lindisfar Abbey' in Northumbria reported a pagan robbery. Ten 'tall blond gods' crossed the North Sea by some unknown method, robbed a monastery, and got on a Chinese ship to return from the North Sea.

This should be about you!"

Loki looked at the old man in front of him who broke the bread into small pieces and stuffed it into his mouth, and felt an extraordinary calmness. He sat here quietly, not asking for his life, not talking about the war situation. The two of them were like old friends who had not seen each other for many years and were reminiscing about the past.

Not to mention this person's reputation in the outside world, this calmness from the depths of the soul is something that Loki has never seen since he crossed over.

The 9th century AD is a completely different human civilization from the 21st century. In the 21st century, everyone knows that in another 10 years or even 5 years, their lives will be on a new level.

However, 800 AD was the beginning of the Dark Ages.

In the hundreds of years of chaotic war that followed, all the people knew that their lives were not any better than their ancestors.

As long as the lords blew the horn of war, they would take up arms and fight for the lords who had nothing to do with them. Thousands of years ago, the beautiful humanistic spirit and democratic ideas of ancient Greece and Rome had all disappeared and could never be found again.

Everyone was moving forward in despair.

Therefore, everyone born in this era had a deep worry on their faces.

The poor, the nobles, and the royal family were like this.

Only this old man who had just been freed from shackles and was eating white bread bite by bite. He sat here, the midday sun sprinkled in from the window, and he was as relaxed as a piece of rag in the sun.

This calmness was not pretended.

"I'm right." Loki immediately gave up the original negotiation plan and planned to talk to the old man in a more gentle way, "There's nothing to do at home, why not go out to sea occasionally!"

After eating half a piece of bread, Ulysses Elan recovered a lot from the sluggish state of hypoglycemia. The two people in the conversation suddenly fell into a brief silence, and for a while, no one spoke.

After the old man had this simple breakfast, he slightly moved his wrist joints, stood up and looked out through the window of the meeting hall.

In the city, the Mercian craftsmen who were recruited by the army to enter the Seawatch Fortress lined up neatly. After all their iron tools were removed, they lined up and walked neatly to the gate of the castle.

The old man nodded, which seemed to confirm his guess. He walked to the opposite side of Loki again and bent down to sit down.

After hesitating for a long time, he slowly spoke.

"When a person has lived for seventy-three years like me, he will have seen a lot of things."

"Young man, I have seen ancient creatures wandering in the fields. They were hunted by gods hidden under human skin until the last one in the tribe died tragically under the butcher's knife."

"I have seen gods fighting each other to spread their beliefs, and they also entered the brains of humans to trick them into slaughtering innocent people."

"Everyone is dead, but they are still alive"

At this point, the old man stretched out an old finger and pointed at Loki's cheek.

"I have also seen people like you."

"You are a human, but not a human!"

Loki watched intently. He originally thought that the old man just had some way to see that he belonged to the blood of the "bloody creator" or the "Viking ancestors". However, the old man's next sentence shocked him and made him stand up directly from his seat.

"You should come from the time turbulence!"

Although it is not clear what the "time turbulence" in Elan's mouth refers to, he vaguely feels that this may be related to his identity as a "traveler".

The biggest secret of Loki is not the blood of the ancient gods, but the fact that he was a human for the second time, and that his brain stored a lot of knowledge that did not belong to this world.

In the City of Water, he was able to kill Old Walder with nothing, relying on his mother tongue "Chinese" in his brain from his previous life.

In Lindisfar Monastery, he was able to rob a large amount of gold and silver and then escape successfully, which was inseparable from the "English" he had learned in his previous life, and the negotiation skills he had honed from working in international companies for a lifetime.

Similarly, in the shocking battle with Swain Gonk the winter before last, the 190 villagers of Hanshui Village were able to resist the siege of 500 Viking shield axe soldiers, relying on the use of black gunpowder and the reasonable arrangement of tactics.

Not to mention the subsequent killing of Leviathan and the four-way battle last winter. Without the memories accumulated in the previous life, he would never have been able to sit on the position of Duke of the Valley.

"I haven't seen you in person, but the ancient history books have clearly recorded the intruders from the 'Lost Domain'."

"Everyone who was swept into this land by the turbulence of time and space thought that they were the 'chosen ones'. They felt that they had a lot of magical knowledge stored in their minds. In their eyes, it seemed that all the natives on this continent were fools."

"Young man, I dare say that you must have thought so, right?"

Loki's heart was in a state of confusion after his biggest secret was seen through.

At this moment, he thought about picking up an axe to kill the old man directly, and also thought about tying him up and forcing him to tell him all the secrets he knew about the time traveler.

His palm stayed on the handle of the short axe at his waist, clenched and loosened it, and repeated it at least three times.

How did the old man know that he was a time traveler?

To be honest, if they had a basic concept of the word "time travel", this would really not be difficult to do.

First of all, the "ancients" on this continent have long known the importance of intelligence.

After obtaining a sufficient amount of silver coins, the first reaction of the Vikings in Blood Pigeon Town, who could not read a single word, was to use the money to establish an intelligence network. Not to mention the "Zoroastrianism" where all the believers make a living by selling intelligence.

As an ordinary member of the Vikings, he built ships, sailed, built baths, and renovated houses in Hanshui Village. Later, he did such weird things as "speaking English without a teacher" and "speaking Chinese without a teacher".

It is not surprising that someone with a keen eye saw the trick in it.

He originally thought he was the only one, but from Elan's mouth, it seems that there have been many people like him in history. In this case, the matter is not serious enough to kill him immediately.

Loki finally decided to sit down and continue the unfinished conversation.

"You are actually a very good guesser." The old man smiled slightly and leaned his old back against the backrest of the chair. "You can't even kill the residents of this city, so of course you won't kill me."

"Haha, the biggest flaw of you people from the 'Time and Space Turbulence' is also like this! You always think you can break the rules of this era with the new ideas in your brain."

"But forgive me for being frank, you are too arrogant and too young!

Such a result will only lead the tribe to destruction faster!"
