Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 26 1.26 Entering the church

Loki and his group of eight quickly approached the gate of this seaside town under the cover of the pouring rain.

The rapidly falling raindrops formed an airtight chain between the sky and the earth, greatly improving the concealment. They didn't know what time it was or how long the heavy rain would last.

So they must hurry.

Loki walked at the front of the team carrying a bloody giant axe. When we approached the town gate, as expected, the gate was already closed. Touching the heavy wooden door, he and Sartre listened at the same time.

There should be only two people on the guard post behind the door. One of them has fallen asleep, and the other is dozing off.

"Use the grappling hook to climb to the other side of the city wall!" Loki said softly. The walls of this town were made of wood, just like Hanshui Village. The height of the city wall is only three meters.

It's not difficult to climb up.

"Remember, don't kill them after climbing to the other side, just knock them unconscious with the hilt of your knife!"

"If it takes us all night to enter the monastery this time, and the body at the door is discovered the next day, we will all be doomed!"

"If these two people were just knocked unconscious and there were no obvious wounds on their bodies, they probably wouldn't have made much of a fuss. After all, the guard on duty fell asleep in the middle of the night and was derelict in his duty!"

Sartre nodded and called another Orion brother beside him. The two of them climbed up the city wall with their grappling hooks. Not long after, the city's wooden door was pushed open a thin crack.

The Viking warriors turned sideways and all entered the village.

"It didn't even bleed, it's so beautiful!" Loki patted Sartre's shoulder hard and gave him a thumbs up. They gently stuffed the unconscious guard's body into the sentry box. Have them both lie down in a comfortable position.

Then several people continued to line up, moving quickly towards the church in the shadows of the street.

After entering the city, Loki discovered that the town was much larger than he expected! You know, this is just an ordinary town on the seaside. It is neither a port nor a trade center.

Such an ordinary city has three or four criss-crossing streets. Where roads cross, you can see two- or even three-story wooden buildings.

There are all the restaurants, hotels, and shops that a city should have here. The main street is also paved with a stone pavement, and there are green plants, flowers and other decorations on both sides of the road.

No wonder the Vikings were able to raid England and make a fortune. From a pure appearance point of view, this place is much better than the bitter cold Slavic.

Loki and the others didn't have time to hang around. They ran all the way to the "Holy Cathedral", the tallest building in the town square. When they got close to the door of the church, Loki gave his final instructions to his men.

"Brother Sartre, you have the fastest legs and feet. Have you seen the bell tower?"

Sartre looked along Loki's fingertips, which was the highest point of the church.

He nodded slightly

"After we enter the church, you go straight to the bell tower of the church. The bell tower is where the church overlooks the city. If these priests discover our invasion, if they ring the giant bell of the bell tower, the whole city will be awakened. !”

"So, after you rushed up to the bell tower, you immediately cut off the rope and lowered the suspended giant bell. Then did you see those bird cages next to the giant bell?"

"Those are pigeons used by the Saxons for communication. In order to prevent long nights and nightmares, all the pigeons were chopped up and no one was left alive!"

Sartre nodded vigorously.

"Brother Wade, take a brother to guard the back door behind the square. Once we break into the church, whoever runs out from the back door will be knocked unconscious with an ax handle without asking!"

"If necessary, it doesn't matter if you kill one or two. Make sure not to let anyone escape through the back door!"

"If one person sneaks away and attracts reinforcements, all of us will be destroyed!"

Orion Wade, another hunter in the village, also nodded. Vader and Satyr were the two most efficient people under Loki, so he assigned the most important work to them.

Are you all ready?

Seeing all the companions around him holding onto their weapons, Loki raised his red stone axe, like a statue, and stood quietly in front of the wooden door.

He is waiting.

A bolt of lightning passed by, and then thunder sounded! Taking advantage of the thunder, Loki used all his strength to hit the wooden door with his axe. The fragile wooden door was smashed into pieces like eggshells.

Before the young monk on duty behind the door could even shout, Loki's big hand covered his mouth. The next second, he slammed the little monk's head against the stone wall behind him!

With a bang, the young monk, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, immediately fainted. And beside him, Sartre was already striding towards the bell tower not far away.

"Remember, try not to kill anyone! Knock them out if you can, then tie them up and don't let them make a sound!"

"We brought too few people this time, so we must do everything we can to avoid large-scale conflicts!"

The subordinates around him responded and walked towards the barracks where the monks slept. Only Loki, carrying the red stone ax, slowly walked up the steps to the ornately decorated corridor on the second floor.

There is no doubt that this is just a remote church in a remote city. However, the interior of this church was still luxurious beyond his imagination!

It is said that the holy bishops in ancient times would give all their possessions to the church in order to obtain salvation and forgiveness from the gods. In this life, when mortals can pray for strength from gods, religious beliefs will undoubtedly become more fanatical and violent.

Along the way, everything Loki could see were exquisite marble carvings. The walls are carved with murals of the twelve disciples of the Holy Bishop, and the handrails of the stairs are carved with the heads of various strange animals. Even the ground is made of smooth marble with various complicated patterns. Standing on the second floor platform and looking at the courtyard, he found that the courtyard was planted with flowers that were all carefully colored.

There are really two worlds outside and inside the church door!

Compared with this church, Storm's End, where Loki went with his father when he was a child, is just like a grass platform and cannot be put on the platform at all!

(Damn it! In my last life, I often heard classmates studying abroad say how rich the church was. In order to trick them into joining the church, they would even book five-star hotels and take them out for fun. From this point of view, what they said was not that exaggerated!)

The Holy Episcopal Church is really as rich as the legend!

Loki walked slowly in this village church, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. In a corridor with walls and ceilings all carved from snow-white marble, he saw a row of beautifully crafted statues. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the popes and cardinals of this generation.

Each bust is carved from snow-white marble, with their name engraved below the head.

It is not an exaggeration to have names engraved under the statues. What is exaggerating is that the names of these archbishops are all carved from gold! As for the pope in the center, he is even more heroic. His statue wears a golden crown, and the golden crown is dotted with a series of gems of different colors.

In the very center, there is only one diamond as big as a pinky finger!

Oh my god, what the fuck!

Loki exclaimed in a low voice. He never thought that such an ordinary church could hide such a treasure. And they don't even have to hide these things, they just put them in the corridor so generously!

Not to mention anything else, but just removing the gems and gold from these statues is enough to replace them with a nice Viking longship!

Due to his long-term poverty life and his desire for gold, he immediately picked up the ax and tried to knock off a few gems. However, just as he raised the stone ax, a thunder struck him!

The pale electric light reflected a slender figure wearing a black robe. He stood blankly on the corridor not far from Loki.

And in his hand, he was holding a gleaming broad sword!
