Chapter 149 4.9 Old Gore's Transaction

Not far from Sophie's room, Loki also climbed out of bed. Even though it had been a month since the fatal journey, he would still think back to the terrible escape time in the belly of the beast from time to time in his dreams.

When he got up early in the morning, it was raining heavily outside the window. He shook his head helplessly. Now at least one thing was certain, Xuanyuan Sword would not adjust the weather according to the "will of the lord".

The first boast he made yesterday had already fallen.

And the second one was coming soon.

He had just received bread, eggs and oatmeal porridge early in the morning, and before he could invite Sophie to have breakfast together, Old Gore had already appeared at his door with a thick package. After letting him enter the house and talking briefly for only two sentences, Loki had already learned the purpose of his trip.

The trouble he encountered also appeared in the batch of gold products he got from the black pyramid.

They were really too exquisite.

Whether it is the golden mask depicting the bird face and the scorching sun, the dog-headed human staff, or the armband with exquisite scorpion carvings, these golden creations from ancient civilizations are all rare treasures. If it were ordinary objects, Old Gor would definitely melt all these "useless decorations" and forge them into gold coins.

But when a work of art is so exquisite that it is terrifying, no one would be willing to melt it. After all, Old Gor is a half-baked blacksmith. He clearly understands the artistic achievements contained in these three golden ornaments. After sitting by the burning blast furnace all night, he was reluctant to melt these three treasures.

But it is really unsafe to keep them at home. In desperation, he had to come to Loki for help.

"Lord, although I, Old Gor, have little culture, I also know that these three golden ornaments must be rare treasures in the outside world. I might as well sell them to you instead of others, so that at least it will not cause extra trouble for our village."

Loki frowned and thought while sitting in the lord's seat. After handing over 100 gold coins to Lawrence, the financial situation of Hanshui Village was relatively good. This year, the efficiency of the logging camp and the oil refinery in Wuya Town was not bad, and he still had more than 300 "denar" gold coins in his hand.

For ordinary Vikings, this is a huge fortune, but simply using 300 gold coins to exchange for the three ancient Egyptian creations in Old Gore's hand

Loki felt that Old Gore was still at a loss.

He looked at the old man, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Brother Gore, let's not beat around the bush! We have been together all the way, and there is no need to say too many useless polite words like those southern merchants."

"Although we haven't known each other for a long time, your son Sanji has been a carpenter in Hanshui Village for half his life. He often said that your real ambition is to sail to the sea. If so"

"I will transfer my three-masted ship to you. I wonder if you think it is feasible."

Hearing Loki's proposal, Old Gore's eyes instantly bulged into the size of copper bells. The performance of the three-masted ship during this voyage made all the Vikings start to take their leader seriously. This ship is extremely fast and can also cut through the waves with the design of the bow sword.

Not only that, the ship uses every space in the cabin as much as possible through reasonable design. Except that its carrying capacity is slightly inferior to that of a building ship, this three-masted ship is simply designed for pirates.

"Okay, boss! A three-masted ship is fine! I, Old Gore, have not lived in vain to get such a fast ship!"

"Haha, if the news gets out that I used a ship to trick you into giving me these three treasures, won't people say I'm bullying you?! After all, you, Brother Gore, have made great contributions to my Hanshui Village. I'll give you another 100 dinar gold coins as start-up capital!"

"In addition, you can also choose 20 sailors from Hanshui Village. Whether they are chosen by God or mortals, as long as they are willing to go to sea with you, I won't interfere!"

"Except your son Sanji! He is a carpenter in my village, and I will keep him to continue building ships."

To be honest, if you consider the "cultural value" attached to the three Egyptian treasures, even with the sailors and gold coins, the price offered by Loki is still low. But this is all the spare money he can currently take out.

But Old Gore on the opposite side is very happy. For him, getting a three-masted ship and becoming a free pirate was already the realization of his life ideal. Now he got a large amount of start-up money out of thin air, and his big mouth was almost grinning behind his ears.

"Village chief, you are such a generous leader! I calculated yesterday that even if all these things were melted, the harvest would only be three or four hundred gold coins. You not only gave me a ship and people, but also gold coins! If I find any great treasures when I go out to sea in the future, I will definitely give priority to selling them to you!"

"On the way back, I have discussed it with the explorer girl from Constantinople. She is a rich sponsor, and I happen to like to travel around the world. Now that I have money, haha, I can just take that desperate girl to where she wants to go, and make money while enjoying the scenery. This kind of good thing is hard to find!"

Loki smiled and nodded. To some extent, Emma Waldorf, the explorer, and Old Gore, the lawless captain, are really a match made in heaven. But this is not a bad thing for old Gore after all. It is better for him to cooperate with the Royal Academy of Sciences of Constantinople than to be a real pirate.

When old man Gor left the castle excitedly with the gold coins, Loki gently picked up the three golden creations inherited from ancient Egypt on the table.

The years these three items have experienced are no less than the imperial seal. The residents of the Mesopotamian region began to gather and build city-states in 5000 BC. At that time, the Chinese land was still in the Stone Age period of the "Yangshao Culture" of the Nuwa and Fuxi clans.

There were still scattered clan tribes living on the Chinese land, but city-states composed of humans had begun to appear in the ancient Egyptian kingdoms on both sides of the Nile River.

The "City of a Hundred Gates Thebes" in Homer's epic, the ancient capital "Memphis" near the Giza Pyramids, the holy city "Bubastis" of the cat goddess Bastet, etc. These cities have begun to take shape in this period of time called "Predynastic Egypt".

In this period of 5000 BC, the level of civilization of ancient Egypt far exceeded all countries in the world, and it was the undisputed first civilization in the human world. It was really with this advanced catapult that a building as amazing as the "Pyramid of Khufu" would appear in 2500 BC.

What is the concept of this time?

100 years after the construction of the Pyramid of Khufu, Noah began to build the Ark. 600 years after its completion, Dayu tamed the flood. 1000 years after its completion, Shaodian, the father of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, was born. 2400 years after its completion, Qin Shihuang unified the world.

Loki believed that all the creations that could be carried into the black pyramid by the lizard people were treasures. When these three golden creations were still in the hands of Old Gore, after all, they were other people's spoils and he couldn't check them. But now that this thing has belonged to him, he first picked up the golden mask and put it in front of his eyes for careful observation.
