Beyond a labyrinthine swamp full of traps, over a winding bush path, you finally arrive at the seaside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were still about ten Viking warriors left on the seashore, and when they saw Patriarch Olaf, they hurried up to greet him, but Count Don didn't want to bother with it anymore.

His eyes were already completely drawn to the longships on the sea, and his soul was captured by the three beautiful Viking dragon ships on the sea.

The Viking's dragon ship is arguably the most perfect work of art, a Viking's longship, not only a tool for him to eat, but also a companion to accompany him across the River Styx, when a highly respected Viking dies, his body, his weapons, his clothes, his concubines, and his dragon ship, will be sent to the vast sea, and then a raging fire will consume everything.

By the way, the Vikings can only be buried with one person, even if the Vikings have more concubines, they can only be one person, and the Vikings will also ask if the concubine is willing to accompany the burial, if they don't want to, they won't force it, compared to other peoples of the same era, it is already quite respectful of women.

Thus the Viking dragon ship should have typically had the following aspects - first, a hull of two adjacent hulls, then a strong keel, a rudder mounted on the stern side, a single sloop, a rectangular sail made of wool, often dyed in bright two-coloured colors, and a crossbar at the top of the sail to hold the sail up.

The longship made in this way was small and narrow, and it was narrow enough to invade ordinary small rivers, and narrow meant that the draft was shallow, and it would never run aground, which was the most indispensable for the great cause of the Vikings, and was the foundation of their high mobility.

Moreover, the Vikings were more than cold-blooded butchers, terrifying invaders. They are poets, blacksmiths, explorers, artists, and the dragon's head on the Viking dragon ship, even if it is taken to Italy, Greece, Milan, it can be called a first-class work of art in the world, and it is not inferior to any masterpiece.

Therefore, it is understandable that Count Xiao Tang is so obsessed with these dragon ships.

Originally, he wanted to build some sea ships, and then train some merchants to trade across the sea - Cash, the treasurer, had mentioned this several times, and merchants were all profit-seeking animals, and if he didn't force down your price by two or three percent, how could he make a lot of money?

But shipbuilding, this thing is no better than a bow and crossbow, there is no professional shipbuilding master, it is pure nonsense, not to mention using it for a long voyage, don't sink in the water is God forbid, even if there happens to be a shipbuilding master as a slave, and the merchant happens to be transported over, and the little Earl Tang happens to buy it, it will take at least one to two years to build a ship, after all, this is not a game, as long as you spend money, it will automatically appear.

But you see, if you want to touch it, the Viking warrior next to you immediately blew their noses and glare, let alone go up - this dragon boat is equivalent to their wife, and if her wife is touched, can they not be angry?

"The patriarch wants to invite you to a Viking dinner, I wonder if you promise?"

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Olaf hurriedly said to the slave, and the slave turned his head to Count Don and said, "It's so troublesome, so I'll just write Olaf directly in the future, and save the number of words."

"That's nature, I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Count Don smiled and nodded, and the Olaf patriarch immediately commanded the Viking warriors, began to set up camp to chop wood and make fires, took out the prey he had just hit, and took out the long-cherished beer on the ship, waiting to have a drink with Count Don Jr.

Speaking of beer, it's a good thing, the only thing that warriors from the cold and snow of Northern Europe have is indispensable, battle and wine, but unfortunately beer is made from barley malt, and in this age of lack of food and clothing, even as the head of a clan, Olaf will only drink two sips when he is happy, let alone the ordinary warriors underneath.

But this time, there was a fragrant salted barbecue (courtesy of Count Tang) and beer to drink, and these Viking warriors felt that this was the most perfect thing in life, and even took them to see Count Tang a lot, and they didn't even care too much about the previous deaths.

Originally, his skills were inferior to others, and he was killed on a fair battlefield, and he didn't complain about the heavens or the earth, so he could only say that this was Odin...... God's arrangement. Moreover, in the Viking concept, dying on the battlefield is the greatest glory, Valhalla Valhalla has welcomed the hero with open arms, and dying in a hospital bed only proves that you are a coward.

However, it is easy to get into trouble when you drink too much, especially when the Alcoba knight is in a bad mood and drinks two more glasses, which is what happened.

At that time, there was a young Viking warrior who didn't know if he had drunk too much or what, and shouted at the Alcoba knight, and the Alcoba knight couldn't understand it, but he was not afraid of the sky and the earth as soon as he was angry, and he was backlashing back, although the two people did not understand the language, but even if they just looked at each other's expressions, they knew what the other side was thinking.

“@℃×∪ォガ#――”

Suddenly, the young man shouted, and the whole field fell silent, staring at the Knight, which made the knight feel unnatural.

"Snake means he's going to duel the guy in front of him."

"Duel?!"

Little Count Tang was taken aback, are you kidding me? This is a matter of life and death, if you don't die in the duel, you can't stop at all, let's come here as a guest? Is the principle of peaceful coexistence, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and harmonious coexistence still necessary?

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Seeing that Count Xiao Tang's face changed, Patriarch Olaf rolled his eyes, and immediately understood that Count Xiao Tang had misunderstood, so he explained: "We Vikings have an old saying, a duel at the wine table is not a duel, both sides are not allowed to use weapons, nor are they allowed to wear armor, they can only use their fists and bodies, and fight until one side surrenders, or falls to the ground, and it is over."

I see, similar to the setup of modern boxing, it already looks safe. But Count Xiao Tang also knows that even modern boxing, which is so strict, can also cause death, not to mention anything else, the concussion of that heavy punch is slight.

But there was no way, the Alcoba knight was just waiting for the little Don to translate for him, and the little Tang count hesitated for a long time, and finally returned the decision to the Alcoba knight.

At that time, the knight didn't say a word, and took off his chain mail, arms and wrists, and so on, leaving only a cloth coat, and the Snake on the opposite side was not ambiguous, and there was no leather armor or iron helmet left, and in an instant the cheers shouted out from the mouths of all the Viking warriors who were watching the excitement, and they even took the initiative to form a circle, just waiting to see the show.

But when it came time for the duel, Snake suddenly roared again, and the whole venue suddenly fell silent again.

"He said that the man on the other side had a wound on his body, and that he could not win it, and asked someone else to bring a throwing spear."

Patriarch Olaf explained, and there was no lack of appreciation in his tone, but Count Don Jr. only found it difficult to accept, and it was already self-evident what he was going to throw his spear for. In this era when a cold can kill you, stabbing yourself, whether nominally or in reality, is no different from suicide.

"Don't you cherish the lives of your warriors? Why not stop him? ”

Count Don Jr. tried to stop it, but Olaf said with a disdainful expression: "Stop? Why stop! It's the glory of a warrior, and if you stop it, you look down on them! Besides, a little wound is nothing to us who came out of the wild ice field! ”

Count Xiao Tang was completely speechless, the barbarian is really a barbarian, although he is much stronger than the so-called civilized people in all aspects, but with this understanding, it is no wonder that they can defeat and even conquer, but they will never be able to rule - only by violence and threats, this race will always be assimilated.

At this time, Snake and the Alcoba knight have been fighting, the two sides are one in the prime of life, one is experienced, one is shouting and fighting, the other is calm and composed, the two sides are the chess opponents will meet the good talents, the fight is called an inseparable, fists to the flesh palm to the bones, the sound of "knock", "pop" is endless, and finally the Alcoba knight is old and strong, and wins.

By the time the fight was over, the atmosphere of the banquet had already reached its peak, and the Viking warriors were singing and dancing, shouting for the great victor to clink glasses, as if I couldn't beat you but I could drink you to death, and even Snake, who had just been beaten to the ground, struggled to get up and had another drink with the Alcoba knight.

At that time, the scene had reached such a point that no one thought about camping anymore - the patriarch of Olaf had very politely invited Count Don to sleep in his tent, although Count Don was indeed a little tempted, but at the thought of it

It's disgusting to share a bed with a man~

So Count Tang can only lay on the floor, fortunately this is the beach, the bonfire is also burning, there is no chill at all in summer, it is a very good choice to fall asleep here......

PS: Half-asleep and half-awake coded a chapter, the two chapters on Sunday are completed, and the rest of the Friday and Saturday are the ones that I will make up this week, and I will make up for it until next week at the latest.
