Chapter 42 1.42 Death of Ahai
After a while, the heavily armored warriors of Storm's End jumped off the ship. Duke Bernard looked at them, and the big man with animal horns in the lead shook his head gently.
What happened here was indeed a misunderstanding.
"The Duke has executed the villain who spread rumors and caused trouble for you, and Brother Loki has also expressed his loyalty to the Duke. This is a misunderstanding, let's go!"
Blind Mountain Blood Pigeon, the young patriarch of Blood Pigeon Village, has a close personal relationship with Loki. Seeing that Loki has stabilized the situation, he hurried out to make peace and give both sides a way out.
"Brothers behind you, quickly take Marash and his son down from the cross and carry them back to the house!"
Blind Mountain's words still have prestige in the ears of the Viking pirates. After all, he is the chosen one under the "Sea Giant Path", and he has been promoted to Sequence 7 Wavebreaker at this age. It must be only a matter of time before he is promoted to a high-sequence strongman in the future.
Over the years, Duke Bernard has begun to value him more and more. As soon as he spoke, it was almost as if he were the Duke himself.
But at this moment, the lord of Fog Duck Town, Old Gunk, on the other side, yelled: "Wait!"
He rolled up a pair of cold eyes like dead fish, and slowly walked to the side of several holy bishops in Loki's team.
"These brothers look unfamiliar. Why haven't I seen you before?"
"When did you come to Hanshui Village?"
Fog Duck Town is not far from Hanshui Village, but Fog Duck Town is located in the valley of the peninsula.
The Viking "mountain people" live in Fog Duck Town. Mountain people are different from sea people. Although they can't fish and sail, they rely on the mountains to make a living. They are good at climbing and running, and they are larger in size and stronger in combat.
Swain Gunk, the lord of Fog Duck Town, has long had only one wish: to annex Hanshui Village so that his village can get an outlet to the sea like Blood Pigeon Town.
When Loki's biological father was alive, he invaded Hanshui Village several times, but each time he was stubbornly resisted by the warriors of the Starrag family. Even his two sons died in the battle to invade Hanshui Village.
Two years ago, Loki's father died. He thought his chance had finally come, but he didn't expect that Hanshui Village would become more and more difficult to fight under Loki's management.
Old Gunk has lived for most of his life, and his face is not ordinary thick. He often rides a wildebeest to Loki's village for a while, looking around to see if there is any strategic breakthrough.
He can almost remember everyone in the village after coming here so many times. But he squinted his eyes and observed the few people who came down from the boat today for a long time, and he was sure that he had never seen them.
Several monks were discovered by this cunning Gunk like a venomous snake, and Loki's heart was immediately raised to his throat. Seeing this, he hurriedly raised his axe to block the monks.
He had to be quick, because they didn't speak Viking at all.
"Gunk, I really gave you face! You are the one who is questioning people from my village? You, you, and you, go to the board and help lift Sanji off the shelf! What are you still standing here for?"
Seizing this only opportunity, Loki quickly sent the monks behind him away. Jerome understood his meaning accurately and pulled the brothers around him to help near the cross.
Only Gunk, dressed in a black robe, stared at their backs and still made a sinister dry sound.
"Brother Loki, you are only 20 years old after all! I am kindly reminding you not to neglect management. It is unknown whether the spies of foreign races will invade."
"'A man without hair on his lips will not be able to do things well' is not an old saying. You, a young boy, have become the chief of the clan. The Duke is worried about you every day!"
Gonke is indeed an old man who has lived for 50 years. He said these two sentences lightly, killing three birds with one stone.
Not only did he explain to the people around him why he came to Hanshui Village when he had nothing to do, but he also further helped Duke Bernard to abuse lynching.
Finally, he did not forget to remind the people around him implicitly: This kid is just a young and incompetent boy, and everyone is welcome to step on him whenever they have something to do.
Loki wanted to chop the old man with an axe in front of everyone, but this place was in the public eye after all. Before the chosen ones under Duke Bernard left, he had to put aside any grudges.
The villagers of Hanshui Village moved Marash and his son into the house for emergency treatment. The Duke and his party were quickly attracted by the Tang Dynasty ship.
It is not uncommon for an ownerless ship to float on the sea in Scandinavia. The Baltic Sea is a narrow inland sea, and various things often float along the ocean currents, and there are also many ships.
But it was the first time that Duke Bernard saw the exquisite Tang Dynasty ship floating on the sea. There are 3 floors above and below, with a carrying capacity of more than 100 tons. The most important thing is that there are still a lot of Tang Dynasty goods in the cabin!
You know, these teas, spices, silks and so on can only be seen in the "Conqueror's Fortress" where the Viking King sits on weekdays.
"My Lord, this is a gift from the God King Odin!"
"Yes, the Duke just won the fourth wife. This is the gift from the gods in the Hall of Valor to the Duke! The Duke is a popular person in the eyes of the gods!"
Everyone surrounded the Duke, and no one greeted Loki who was driving back to the ship.
Except for Blind Mountain.
In a hidden corner, Blind Mountain grabbed Loki and said, "In addition to Marash and his son who were seriously injured, several gatekeepers who refused to let people pass were whipped by the lord. They suffered some physical pain, but their lives were not in danger."
"'Comprehensive' Yahai went down the attic and tried to argue with the lord. The lord was embarrassed and whipped him a few times, but he didn't kill him because he was a storm monk. In the end, he asked Mayor Gongke to tie him up and carry him to the attic."
"Brother, you have to be careful. I feel that this is Old Gongke and the Duke deliberately targeting you! Winter is coming, this is your last buffer period!"
"You must find a way to break the deadlock in this winter!"
After giving these instructions, Blind Mountain did not dare to stay for too long. Just one hour later, many nobles surrounded Bernard and boarded this luxurious ship to go home. People from Blood Pigeon Town and Fog Duck Town also mounted their horses and retreated.
At sunset, the devastated Hanshui Village was returned to the people in the village.
The snow-covered ground was full of messy footprints. The gate of the village was broken open by a huge force and now it has been broken into six pieces. The three guards who were whipped had their flesh torn apart, and after applying the herbs, they actually had a high fever. I don’t know if they can live to see the spring of next year.
The worst are Sangji and Mr. Gore. Both of them have helped the village selflessly, but now their skin is torn apart. After carefully cleaning the wound and tying the bandage, they are still breathing weakly.
Both of them are on the verge of death.
Loki had a gloomy face and didn't say a word for almost the whole afternoon. He only felt that his chest was stuffy, as if a huge stone was blocking it!
The heavy stone made him unable to breathe or think!
He wanted to take a bath in the hot spring at the bottom of Hanshui Village, but at this time he found that his hot spring had been soaked by the pirates around Duke Bernard who had not taken a bath for three years. At this time, it was like a pool of muddy water!
Unable to take a shower, he went to the canteen in the castle to try to have a meal, but what he saw was that most of the winter food he had looted with great effort had been eaten by the Duke and his men in the past few days.
This was the last straw that broke the camel's back
Loki walked back to his room, opened his chest and roared at the wind and snow outside the window. He wanted to pick up the axe to kill Gonk, kill Bernard, and kill all of them.
But this is not a game, nor is it a cool online article.
This is not realistic!
Anger made his body red all over. He could feel his heart beating hard, and the surging blood was quickly supplied to every inch of his skin, and a faint blood mist began to rise from his body again. When he felt that he was about to lose control, a cold big hand suddenly touched his shoulder.
Looking back, it turned out to be the Confucian Ahai.
After being saved by crows several times, Loki no longer dared to despise Ahai. He saluted the sage respectfully, but Ahai smiled kindly. The big crow that had saved his life several times stood on his shoulder and licked his hair gently.
"Doubt, remember what I said."
"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!" "I have seen you fall into darkness, but I didn't expect that you would find light from the darkness."
"I can feel that my mission has been completed and you no longer need me."
Suddenly reaching out to touch Loki's forehead, Loki only saw a big hand covering his vision. When the darkness receded again, he was already in a dark basement.
The sewage in the bathhouse had been drained away. In the warm and humid basement, there were only Marash and his son and three people who were whipped. In the darkness, a pure holy light suddenly lit up.
Observing carefully, it turned out to be Jerome!
His monk robe had been taken off and thrown into the sea. He was now wearing the linen robe that Loki had taken from Xue Hezi in the Sleeping City. He was wearing a plain white robe, chanting prayers, and his hands condensing holy light, which was exactly the same as the Holy Lord Christ in Loki's memory in his previous life!
Spots of pure white holy light flowed from his fingertips and flowed to the seriously injured people. Their wounds were recovering quickly.
Looking back, he found that the skinny body of the Confucianist Ahai was limp on the ground like a leaf. Blood slowly seeped out of his body. When he lifted his black robe, Loki found that his old body was actually split open, and the injuries he suffered were no less than those of Sangji!
Save him!
Save him quickly!
He screamed miserably, but the old body in his arms was as cold as black ice.
It seemed that he had already lost his breath.
