Chapter 42: The Viking Town
"Ragnar kidnapped the wizard and has now left in a flying carpet!"
"Let's write the material, the Bureau of Justice will soon issue a wanted warrant for her, so that the eyes will slip out from under our noses, and everyone will be to blame!" Yvonne kneaded the bridge of his nose, and the joy of having just succeeded in arresting Jonathan was gone.
The Wizard's Heart is locked, and all that is left of Bahrain is mana and can no longer perform witchcraft. Nina can only be threatened to fly the flying carpet all the way out of Edgar and along the coastline of the Persian Gulf towards the north.
"I can't imagine that you can fool everyone, no one has ever doubted you for such a long time!" Bahrain knew that he could not escape, and wanted to find something to relieve the embarrassment: "Where are we going?"
"Maidan, the land of the Vikings!"
"Your lair is in the Maidan, isn't it? Daron is the mastermind of this? Or is it the Queen of Maidan?"
"Shut up and do what you have to do!" Nina scolded indifferently, the dagger cut a shallow blood mark on the skin outside the carotid artery on the wizard's neck, and Nina leaned her face against Balin's head and whispered, "You just need a wizard to control the flying carpet, don't let yourself lose your usefulness so quickly." ”
Balin gasped and obediently closed his mouth and did not dare to say more.
For three days, Nina used the shackles she had stolen from the embassy to handcuff Balin not far from her, and waited for the wizard to regain her mana before continuing on her way. Silent journey until the weather gets colder and colder.
During the journey, Nina went to a safe house that had been set up to get the necessary water, food, and clothing.
In the increasingly cold weather, Bahrain also had to put on a lady's coat to protect from the cold, and the whole person looked like an awkward bear.
Bahrain has always lived in the core mortal areas closest to the wizarding civilization, and even the barbaric and backward Edgar can have some traces of wizards. These powers, which are far beyond the reach of mortals, have brought many conveniences to mortals, and Bahrain has always taken them for granted.
However, the Mysterious Garden, a wizarding sanctuary located in the north, remains mysterious everywhere, drawing a huge chasm from the mortal world. No traces of witchcraft can be seen here, everything is created by mortals with their own hands.
Villages of wooden huts dotted the ice fields with curling smoke. Poultry roam around the village, dropping their droppings at will.
The difficulty of getting water has led to people here paying little attention to their own hygiene, not to mention that children and adults always see patches of dirt.
Their only amusement is to fight and do, love. They crossed the strait in canoes with dragon's heads erected at the top, and plundered more prosperous places, and they took their livestock and living people to the temple every year for sacrifices. War is not only the work of men, but also women often go on expeditions together, and they have a nice name, Shield Girl.
This is how the Vikings lived. Some say he's hot-blooded, others say he's just a savage pirate.
As she was about to reach her destination, Nina suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Before you are imprisoned and become a slave, I will give you a piece of advice." Whatever invitation your host sends you, remember who you really are. Vikings never trust strangers easily!"
Balin nodded indifferently, and along the way he also roughly understood the situation he was going to face: "Sell a Babel wizard, a glorious member of the Golden Council as a slave." It's not a small amount of courage. ”
"If you are timid, you won't be an eye, okay, don't talk nonsense, if you want to live, just shut up. This is not the Sea of Stars, and there are no Amnesty International lawyers here to intercede for you. You are just a captive of the Vikings. Nina seemed to be in a good mood and had a rare smile on her face.
The two landed outside a small town, and Bahrain rolled up a blanket on her shoulders to follow Nina.
On the wooden fence stood several bearded men, looking down boredly. Seemingly attracted by Bahrain's appearance in a lady's coat, he whistled and laughed at the bottom.
It's a small town, but Bahrain thinks it's just a village. From the open door, you can see women dressed in coarse linen clothes and throwing food at poultry with their children.
Heavy livestock and poultry manure mixed with dirt, and the eerie smell of pickled fish hit the face, making Bahrain feel as if he had been struck by an olfactory sorcery and almost vomited on the spot.
This smell is definitely weapon-level witchcraft! Bahrain has a definition of this smell in his heart.
The warriors guarding both sides of the gate saw Nina's appearance clearly, and greeted her warmly: "Hey, shield maiden Nagartha, long time no see!Oh, look, look, what is this?is the legendary great wizard?" The guard suddenly saw the golden wizard's heart surrounding Balin, and wanted to salute with some awe.
"Eric!" Nina smiled and frowned, "Okay Eric, he's just a captive, a gift for Earl Haraldson!"
Another guard with black stripes painted on his face exclaimed, "Great Odin, wizard captive, let the pious Sigward take a good look, oh, look, look, wizard looks like this." It's so clean. As clean as the Shieldmaiden, I'm going to give you a name, huh...... It's called ......."
"Chicks!" Eric grinned, helping his less brain-hungry companion come up with a name.
"Yes, yes, it's a chick! hey, I'm a chick wizard!" Sigwald waved his wand with his battle axe.
"Hey, you'd better use the one underneath you, Chick Wizard!" a bearded guard on the gatehouse laughed and pointed at Sigward below.
"Tiger Weison, who killed a thousand knives, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will use the following stick to teach your wife a lesson tonight?" Sigward said unceremoniously sarcastically.
The bearded man upstairs immediately went berserk.
Nina rolled her eyes, slapped Siegwald's bald head, and asked loudly, "Do you want to come to my room tonight and use your stick to teach the weak Nagartha a lesson?"
Sigward seemed to be afraid of Nina, shrunk his head and sneered, "The shield girl is not weak!" Seeing Sigwald stunned at the door, the crowd immediately burst into laughter.
"Hey, welcome back pretty Nagartha!" Eric laughed and hugged Nina.
"Welcome to the Shieldmaiden!
"Nagetha, ignore that coward in Sigward, Ethan, the strong Ethan will be in your room tonight!"
Nina smiled at the noisy words of these people, "Alright, take me to Earl Haradson, the journey of several days has left me craving a steaming meal!"
The crowd joked with each other as Nina and the captive Balin walked through the gate.
The streets are a mess of Vikings on both sides. Some people argue loudly with the poultry in their cages, and some people hand fresh fish to buyers. The women carried baskets and rummaged through the goods of the vendors. Others hung their clothes in front of their homes and watched their husbands train their sons with wooden swords.
Several warriors surrounded Nagartha as she walked along, greeted by someone she knew. Those who don't know look more in awe at Bahrain, which surrounds the heart of wizards. They don't yet know that this wizard is just an unlucky captive.
The crowd whispered, secretly observing the wizard. For such an uncivilized area, the sorcerer is a creature that only exists in legends, a family heirloom that parents used to stop themselves from crying when they were young, and to stop their children from crying when they grew up. I didn't expect to see a living wizard today, how surprised I was. But how does he look like a coolie?
Amid the whispers of the crowd, the group entered one of the tallest buildings in the town.
