Chapter 100 3.22 Old Gore's Harvest
"During the time when you were unconscious, we were not idle either."
After Loki finished his bowl of porridge and felt his stomach a little bit. Gore stretched out a big furry hand and forcefully moved his own bed away. Only then did Loki discover that his "bed" turned out to be a large wooden box with rather luxurious decorations.
Old Gore gave full play to the Viking spirit of "the thief never steals the goods" and moved this box from who knows which ship.
Opening the box, the first thing that caught Loki's eyes was a pile of golden coins! Picking up one, Loki found that the gold coin was exceptionally beautifully engraved. The front was engraved with the profile of a middle-aged man, and the words "Wessex Gold Pound" were written on the back.
"This is a gold coin forged by the Kingdom of Wessex, which is the most powerful among the seven countries in the English Islands. In other countries such as Northumbria and Mercia, their people may not be able to earn a year's work through hard work. ”
"But Wessex is different!"
"This country is extremely powerful driven by King Ecbert's reasonable economic policies. The Kingdom of Wessex has many wealthy merchants who travel through the Mediterranean and farmers who own large numbers of slaves. Silver coins can no longer settle their wealth. That’s why this country minted gold coins to maintain the circulation of wealth.”
Emma explained the origin of the gold pounds to Loki in detail, and the old man Gore laughed loudly and added: "There are more than 60 gold pounds!"
During the time when you were asleep, I visited the 9 frozen buildings around the coastline! A total of 60 gold pounds were found, as well as more than three hundred 50-gram Wessex silver pounds! As for the copper pennies, haha, I don’t even think they are rare enough to take them! "
Loki noticed the arrival of what Old Gore called "9 ships." He clearly remembered that Xiao Lu's handbook recorded a total of 11 ships departing from England. It seems that two ships should have withdrawn from this coast.
It was the people on these two ships who took away Xiao Lu's notebook. It’s just that we don’t know yet whether Xiao Lu is among them.
"My brother, have you ever considered how we are going to carry such heavy things back to our two ships?!"
"Um, is that so?" Gore was speechless for a moment. Seeing gold and silver, I am afraid that the first reaction of all Vikings is to move back first. But Loki's eyes were once again attracted by something else. This was something that looked quite two-dimensional.
This is a staff.
After picking up the staff, he saw two ornately decorated silver broadswords at the bottom of the box. Even though it had been placed in an uninhabited sunken ship for 50 years, the silver sword and staff still radiated faint holy light.
"This is a weapon blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury." Lawrence, the ship's doctor, came over and explained to Loki, "The Archbishop of Canterbury is the highest-ranking priest assigned to the English Islands by the Pope."
"Her 'sacred mark' is a iris symbol." Lawrence stretched out his slender fingers and pointed at the gem that was constantly emitting a faint white light at the top of the staff. This stone looked like a piece of transparent glass from the outside. There seems to be a pure white rune inside it that is constantly glowing.
That rune is exactly in the shape of an iris flower.
"Is this Archbishop of Canterbury a woman??" Loki asked hesitantly.
"Yes, her name is Letty Evans. It is said that she comes from the 'Sisters of Silence', an ancient organization within the Pope. The Sisters of Silence guard the 'Dead Sea Scrolls', one of the 12 holy relics of the Holy Bishop, and seldom The origin of his appearance is also extremely mysterious.”
This is a fact known to every Holy Bishop living in the English Isles, and therefore no secret.
"Elder Letty's divine power has been cultivated to the Sequence 2 'Law Recorder' of the 'Law Path'. This level is infinitely close to the gods. It is said that at this level, the Chosen One of the Law Path possesses ' The power of permanent enchantment. Their blessing can form a law on the weapon and equipment, which will last forever."
"These weapons should all be blessed by the Bishop. This staff can increase the Holy Light Spiritual Power of the Holy Bishop's Chosen to a certain extent. As for these two silver swords"
"Silver swords are extremely lethal to corrupted, undead and other unclean creatures, and weapons blessed by the bishop can also cause additional damage to sinful humans."
"Were these things found in those sunken ships?" Loki asked,
"Yes! There is such a ship. The decoration inside is white, and there are broken white cloths hanging everywhere. There is not a penny in that broken ship. I almost smashed the ship after rummaging through it, and I found this Three things that look a bit valuable!”
Two silver swords, one for Old Gore and one for Emma. He handed the remaining rather ornate staff to Lawrence Nightingale without even thinking about it.
"Me too?!" Emma asked in surprise.
"Haha! We Vikings always try to satisfy ourselves first before considering others when doing robberies. Xiao Lu's sunken ship was found by each of us at the risk of our lives. It is reasonable and reasonable, and everyone must be rewarded!"
"But"
"But what the heck! I know that your family's big business looks down on this little silver. But as a leader, I have to keep a bowl of water straight, right? If you don't want it, wait until you return to the ship to see which boy looks better. If it looks good, you can give it to him. This is none of my business!
After receiving the spoils, Lawrence was obviously the most excited. The amplification staff blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury could be exchanged for at least 200 gold pounds in England. It was almost equivalent to a manor by the sea, plus a thousand acres of fertile land!
He recited the Holy Light Gospel softly, and a faint ray of holy light was injected into the gem. After the amplification, it was like a pure white sun rising in the cabin. The healing holy light shone warmly on everyone. It lasted for a long time before it went out.
Through a battle with the hermit crab, Lawrence realized his shortcomings. When Loki and Gore fought the hermit crab, even though he had upgraded to Sequence 8 "Gospel Preacher", the weak holy light in his body made his casting distance completely unable to keep up with the pace of the two Viking warriors.
Without experiencing the baptism of the cold wind, he did not dare to jump directly into the freezing cold sea water, so he almost OBed the entire field at the edge of the battlefield and did nothing.
Now with this staff, at least it will play a greater role in battle.
If this adventure experience can upgrade him to Sequence 7 "Burner" under the "Holy Light Path", in addition to reciting the gospel, he can also cast the Holy Fire to provide a certain degree of combat capability.
After distributing the three weapons, the rest of the things in the box were some compasses removed from the captain's room, seven or eight telescopes, some jades, thick clothes, porcelain ornaments, etc. left in the room by the Tang people. Among this pile of miscellaneous things, the bottom of the wooden box attracted Loki's attention.
The body of the book had traces of burning. The only thing that attracted Old Gore to pick it up was probably because the words on the cover were made of gold.
This is a line of very ancient hieroglyphs.
"I found this book in the wreckage after the flagship exploded! Oh, that was the flagship of the Tang fleet! There should be a lot of good things in it, but they were all blown to pieces after the gunpowder barrels were detonated!"
What a pity!
Without paying attention to Old Gore for the time being, Loki opened the black book and found that the hieroglyphs written on the inner pages were also very similar to QQ emoticons. If he took out these words one by one, he might be able to use his imagination to associate them. But put them together
It was like reading those sentences on WeChat that were all made up of emoticons! With a long sigh, Loki shook his head helplessly to indicate that he really couldn't understand this thing
But at this moment, he suddenly heard an empty and quiet voice in his ears, as if someone was calling him from a very far distance.
Raising his hand quickly to make a silent gesture, he looked at the flickering campfire and tried his best to identify the subtle and almost inaudible sound.
"Hehehe"
"The Crimson Apostle on the Red Moon! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
