Chapter 49: The Sword of Victory
At the North Pole, there was no way to judge the time by the sky, and when the hour was close to 8 p.m., the research ship had already begun to dock at the dock in Longyearbyen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Ye Chen, let's go out for a day tomorrow and travel to the south." When he returned to the room, George grabbed Ye Chen and proposed to him.
"Okay, I've been working for so long, it's time to relax." Ye Chen has only been on the ship for nine days now, but he feels more troubled than working for a month in a row. Since someone proposed to go to play, Ye Chen naturally would not return to Liverpool so early.
"Tom, are you going?"
"No, I have to go back to London, and I'll see you again when I have a chance." Tom declined Ye Chen's invitation, although he also wanted to rest for a while, but he had to go home early because of family reasons.
Since he decided to go for a two-day trip, Ye Chen hurriedly called Will and applied for a few days off.
"Hi, Ye Chen." Will, who received Ye Chen's call, was very happy, "How is the work, life at sea is not comfortable, right?" ā
"Alas, it was definitely the worst journey, and I can't think of any job more boring than being a seafarer." Ye Chen complained, "That's right, Will." My job here is over, but I need to take a break for two days off. ā
"No problem, you can get some rest." Will obviously understood the hardships of working on the ship, and agreed to Ye Chen's request without thinking. "You can spend a few days in Norway, it's a great place to visit."
"Well, I'll leave for Oslo tomorrow, play for two days and then go back."
The two of them talked for a while about Ye Chen's work on the ship and hung up the phone, Ye Chen had a holiday, and his mood was much more relaxed.
Norway is a well-known tourist country, with many attractions to choose from, and only one or two cities can be selected for a three-day holiday. After careful research, Ye Chen and George decided to exclude the capital of Norway, Ottoman, and instead start in Bergen, the second largest city, and then transfer to Stavanger by train.
Compared with the bustling Ottomans, Ye Chen and they have visited many similar big cities in the UK all year round, but Norway is more attractive to them here with its strange fjords, so after carefully searching for information on the Internet, they decided on a good travel route.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Chen and the others arrived in Bergen by plane, and as soon as they got off the plane, they smelled a slight smell of sea in the air, because it was close to the ocean, and the port of Bergen transported a large number of sea fish every day, and it seemed that the whole city was bubbling in the smell of fish.
Seafood is eaten every day on the fishing boat, but there is no proper way to prepare it, so there is no such thing as a feast. As soon as you pass through the market, the aroma of the umami and seasonings from the seafood comes to you.
"George, this tastes amazing, don't you want to taste it?" The gluttonous worm in Ye Chen's stomach was seduced out at once. Even George found the restaurant with him.
It's almost noon when you walk here, and the open-air restaurant is almost full of diners, and the variety of seafood makes your mouth water. After ordering a plate of salt-boiled shrimp and two smoked salmon sandwiches, Ye Chen began to feast.
"Ye Chen, this is really good food." George's mouth was full of sandwich grease stains, muttering as he chewed on the fish.
Satisfied, the two drove straight to the town of Lyme, where water flowed between the valleys and a quaint hamlet was stationed on either side.
The houses in Lem Town are typical of the Viking style, which is Norway's famous indigenous people, who in the film are all barbarians in animal skins and horned helmets, and it seems that pirates are synonymous with them.
Ye Chen and the others plan to spend the night here tonight, and many people will drift down by boat from here, and then return here to rest after having a while.
The secluded valley is very suitable for relaxation, and Ye Chen and George naturally swim freely, so I will not go into detail here.
It wasn't until dinner was finished in the evening that Ye Chen and the others returned to Lyme Town. After finding the hotel, George immediately returned to his room to rest, and Ye Chen walked out of the hotel to wander around the town.
Walking around, Ye Chen came to a small shop selling gifts.
The exterior of the solid wood building is painted crimson and a chimney is erected on the spire. Through the glass window, you can see that the small store is full of goods, and the overlapping goods appear to be scattered.
Pushing open the door of the store, there was a sound of wind chimes, "jingle bells" ringing randomly.
"Hello, welcome to the old store of Weil." There was only one gray-haired old man sitting behind the counter in the store, holding a thick book and reading. Seeing Ye Chen come in, the old man took off his glasses and stood up. "Please feel free to watch it, and if you want anything, just bring it to me and ask me."
The shop is not large, only two houses, with a fence in the middle and shelves.
Many of the items in the shop in Vail are handmade, and they are all very customary items here. Ye Chen turned around with great interest, and suddenly saw an unusual sword hanging on the wall in the house in the middle of the room.
Standing on tiptoe to take down the sword, Ye Chen stroked the scabbard with his hand, the red and blue scabbard was made of solid wood, and blue runes were carved on it. The entire sword was hidden in the scabbard, leaving only the blue hilt, and the cold feeling proved that it was not made of wood, but it was unknown what material it was. At the end of the hilt, a blue stone is also inlayed.
Raising his hand, he slowly pulled the sword out of its scabbard, and a chill came from the sword. Originally, I thought it was just a simple model, but when Ye Chen held it in his hand, there was a wave of magic from the sword. Although it was very weak, it was still captured by Ye Chen.
"It doesn't seem like it's a simple sword."
The shape of the sword is very similar to the sword in the stone, Ye Chen held the sword in the stone in his hand, and slowly transmitted his magic power, and sure enough, the magic power entered the sword and attached to it.
The sword was attached to the magic power, emitting a faint light, and Ye Chen was shocked when he saw this. Quickly retract the mana and look around, but fortunately no one saw it.
"Boss, how much does this sword cost?" Ye Chen came to the counter with his sword, trying to restrain his excitement.
"Oh, this sword." The old man seemed to have thought of something. Arthur? Will has stayed in the town of Lyme all his life, and when he got older, he ran a gift shop, and with the help of the tourism boom in the past few years, the small shop has done well. The sword that Ye Chen was holding in front of him was picked up when he went out twenty years ago, and it wasn't until in recent years that some tourists saw it and said that it was a prop sword of anime, and he didn't care about it anymore.
"2000 kroner." Will paused to give the price.
The krona is the currency of Norway, and when converted to pounds sterling, it is about 150 pounds. Hearing this price, Ye Chen almost jumped up, it seemed that the other party didn't know the value of this sword. This is also understandable, for ordinary people, it is just a piece of steel, and naturally its price is not clear.
Ordinary people regard it as a sword in the stone, but they don't know that a holy sword in Norse mythology, the Sword of Victory, is very mythical. And the Sword of Victory is the prototype of the Sword in the Stone, the official imitation of the Sword of Victory in Ye Chen's hand. It should have been made by a certain magician in Northern Europe, but for some reason it fell into the hands of Will, and now it is cheaper than Ye Chen.
Ye Chen, who got the sword of victory, didn't have the heart to wander anymore, and returned to the hotel with the sword to steal the fun.
