Chapter 25: The Wisdom of the Barbarians
Cyrus pushed Sophia away and opened the wooden box in his hand: "Auntie, what do you think this is?"
Sophia looked at the box in Cyrus's hand, it was an eagle-like creature, slightly smaller than an eagle, with a more colorful coat, and its talons and beak sharper than that of an eagle!
"It stinks!"
Sophia was in a probe with a foul smell, coming head-on.
"Damn it!" Sophia asked, frowning.
Cyrus: "Yes! Auntie!"
"This bird, named Haidongqing, is only a small number in the northern wilderness, and they fly higher than the eagle, and they are extremely fast, and it is said that they feed exclusively on wolf brains. β
"And this!"
Cyrus said as he took out a strip of cloth from his bosom. The Vikings rarely used paper, let alone made it.
The strips of cloth are densely painted with many Arabic numerals.
"What is this?"
Sophia took the strip of cloth in her hand and said excitedly: "Is this kind of writing the script of the Vikings? The Vikings have already created their own script? They no longer speak the lingua franca of the mainland?"
Cyrus: "No! It's a number of the Persian Empire, not a literal number, it's called Arabic numerals!"
Sophia smiled, and then said with great certainty: "I understand! I didn't expect this group of barbarians to have such a strong learning ability, these numbers are just codes, and the mother code should be that they have robbed a batch of books from a certain western country during their raids over the years! It's too cunning!"
Cyrus said: "That's right! They just used Hai Dongqing's contact with each other to issue orders! This kind of eagle flies at a very high altitude and is difficult to tame, I really don't know how these barbarians did it!"
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
"That's it, sir!" But I really don't know how to switch it!"
Hannibal and a dozen other Viking warriors were taken by the obscene old butler to a study in the manor.
"Huh?"
Hannibal raised his dagger and glared.
"Ah, villainγγγγ villain really doesn't know!"
The obscene old butler was again frightened and collapsed to the ground.
Hannibal pondered for a moment and looked at the study, the walls were made of the hardest marble, since he already knew that the darkroom was here, it could be broken by force, but time, the blunt weapon in the hands of the Viking warriors, even if it was a mace, it would take at least one night to chisel through the wall darkroom
Thinking like this, Hannibal's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of cunning, he took the dagger and squeezed his eyebrows with the two Viking warriors beside him, and said loudly: "It seems that this old boy is to deceive us for his life, it is estimated that the lord has already run away, and the brothers simply burned this manor with a fire, our Vikings are not the same as the Huns (as mentioned earlier, the Ottomans have only fought with the Huns before, and have only fought with the Huns before, and have been plundered by the Huns), our tradition is to rob enough money, and never harm people's livesγγγγγγ β
"Yes, the brothers set it on fire!"
"Yes! Such a poor manor, burn it!"
"I just didn't have any money, so I burned it!"
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
The other Viking warriors looked at Hannibal and instantly understood, one by one holding torches, roaring and shouting like beasts!
"Viking warriors! wait!
The Viking warriors, who had just lit the fire with torches, heard a very weak voice, very weak, with fear and strength.
Hannibal looked closely, and a pair of human eyes on the shelves of the books were looking at him, and those eyes flickered with fear.
Hannibal smiled, this should be the baron.
"Yo, Lord Baron, you are here, it seems that your faithful butler did not lie to us!"
Hannibal grinned and saluted the baron, who only showed a pair of eyes, obviously teasing the other party, an act that provoked the Viking warriors behind him to purse their lips and try to hold back their laughter.
Originally, the baron refused to come out, but when Hannibal and the others entered the study and heard what the butler had to say, he became angry and cursed in his heart the butler who betrayed him with all the vicious words in the world. Later, when he heard the housekeeper say that he didn't know where the switch to the dark room was, the hanging heart finally let go again.
But then I heard that the Vikings were angry and wanted to burn down their house, they almost fainted, the house was burning, and they couldn't live hiding in the dark room, and finally heard Hannibal's sentence "Our Vikings are different from the Huns, our tradition is to rob enough money, and we will never harm people's lives" I feel that both horizontal and vertical are death, being killed and being burned alive are death, or the pain of being killed, simply gamble. They had only been plundered by the Huns before, and the Viking traditions were really unknown.
He decided to pay to send the plague god away.
"Honorable Viking warriors, what you just said, "If you have enough money, you will never harm anyone'??????"
Hannibal held up the torch: "Of course!"
"Alright, noble Viking warriors, I will open the dark room now, there is a lot of gold and silver treasure in it, you can take it, but don't hurt me or my family, let alone burn my manor!"
Hannibal raised his torch again: "Of course!"
"Okay, Vikings, take two steps back! I'll open the secret door!"
Hannibal and the other Viking warriors obediently took two steps back.
Soon, the huge bookshelf and the wall that was one meter thick moved slowly, and in a tooth-barring friction sound, it opened, and a secret entrance with a width of two meters and a height of two meters appeared in front of everyone.
In front of the entrance of the dark passage, there was a fat man who couldn't stop nodding his head, about 30 years old, and he knew that he was very slippery at a glance.
When the fat man's entire body came into Hannibal's eyes, Hannibal quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist: "Leave you!"
In the next second, the fat man had a dagger deeply inserted in his forehead, and with a flattering smile, his body was cut short, and finally his eyes lost their luster and dimmed.
Hannibal jumped up instantly, pointed at the fat man on the ground and said indignantly: "Who did this girl, don't you say that you won't kill him?
Finally, he circled around the corpse with his hands behind his back, frowned and said in a sharp voice: "It's not like words!"
"Did any of you see what just happened?" Hannibal suddenly remembered that in the battle between Baiyin Tara and the Ottoman Empire, Da Dan suddenly broke his promise and killed the opposing commander with an arrow, and he also asked the 600,000 Viking warriors present!
"Yes!" said the Viking warriors behind Hannibal in unison.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
Pieces of gold and silver, as well as various old but well-maintained weapons and armor, were removed from the dark room by the Viking warriors. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, this baron who gambles badly still has a bit of a family background.
According to the rules, Hannibal contributed the most, he picked it first, and his idea, otherwise, it was to burn the manor, and the baron would of course be burned to death in it, and they should also be transferred. In the end, nothing is gained.
Hannibal churned rapidly in the pile of weapons and armor, and said to himself: "Say, you say, tell me! Why am I embarrassed to pick it first?? this is a trouble!"
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
In the end, Hannibal picked a unique snake-shaped short sword, about half a meter long, with a curved arc like a snake crawling, and four daggers that looked good quality, he was fine, with a heavy load, and the horse ran slowly, even if you had a mountain of gold, whether you could bring it back to the wasteland was still a question, to put it mildly, whether you could kill it back alive was a question. And the most important thing is that Hannibal found that he had no talent for bow shooting, and often aimed at the person's throat but shot at the person's ** wire, but throwing like a dagger, he had super strength and accuracy.
Hannibal kept playing with the serpentine dagger in his hand and the four daggers of much better quality than the one on his waist, and he was so happy that he couldn't put it down, like a child who had just bought a toy.
Hannibal lowered his head and played with the equipment in his hand, not thrusting (evil no?), and met the "brother-in-law" walking out of the other room with a lewd smile on his face, this season night is the time of the spring cold, this guy is naked, and the lower body is only draped in a loose satin trousers, in the half-hidden and half-open wing, there is a sharp cry of a woman from the vultures.
Hannibal frowned, killing and looting, Hannibal was not disgusted, but **, Hannibal may be too young to accept it for the time being.
In order to survive and take revenge, Hannibal can go to burn, kill and plunder, but never ** women.
"Brother-in-law" smiled and walked over to Hannibal, reaching out to snatch the serpentine dagger from Hannibal's hand and take a look.
Hannibal dodged and pointed to the room he had just walked out of and said, "You haven't had enough fun?"
As soon as Hannibal said this, he did not expect it, and his "brother-in-law" sighed in frustration: "What are you playing? I heard a woman's voice, so I stripped naked and went in, and I saw that it was a chick who was only eleven or twelve years old, and Lao Tzu was not a pedophile!
After speaking, he looked Hannibal up and down: "How old are you?"
Hannibal thrust the serpentine dagger into the waist of a row of daggers: "Fourteen!
The "brother-in-law" looked like he was enlightened: "You come with me, come with me!"
As he spoke, he pulled Hannibal with him.
Pulled Hannibal to the door of the room he had just walked out of, and jerked Hannibal into the room.
Hannibal lost his mind and was pushed in by him, and the "brother-in-law" used extremely hard force, and Hannibal stumbled several times in a row before he could stand firm.
"Little mud! I've locked the door! If you don't do that girl, don't think about itγγγγγγ!
There was a rough lewd laugh from the "brother-in-law" outside the door.
