Lord Hrolf Heartbreaker rode into the town. His lord's house was built on a high ground next to the town. From there, he could overlook the entire town to achieve control and response. There was a watchtower on the house. , a Viking longbowman could stand there and shoot down at the intruder.
However, ordinary attackers will be discovered immediately and then killed by the lord's twenty personal followers. These personal followers are all battle-experienced Vikings. They are loyal and skilled in combat and will execute the plan without hesitation. Any orders from the lord.
"What's going on?" Hrov asked the people around him while riding on horseback, looking around curiously.
A Viking immediately reported this matter to the lord, and Hrov relaxed his vigilance. It was normal for Viking warriors to wander around, looking for a suitable wife and a place to show their ambitions. It was even the glory of their own territory. So Hrov immediately invited Vargas to the lord's house as a guest.
"How could this happen?" Su Chen was a little surprised. He originally thought that according to the development of the plot, Hrov would punish this group of Vikings for causing trouble in his territory, but he did not expect that he would treat them as honored guests.
"Thank you, respected lord, but I still have some unfinished business." Vargas waved his hand. With the support of his companions, he endured the pain in his lower body and glared at the shield girl Ange, but immediately added more He looked at Su Chen fiercely.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Hrov asked curiously.
"This slave asked a riddle, but I didn't answer it, and I suspect it's not a riddle at all." Vargas pointed at Suchen and said loudly.
"If there is such a thing, if my slave lies, I will kill him." Hrov just frowned slightly and said lightly, as if killing a slave was like killing a chicken or duck. Simple.
"Killing?" Su Chen took a breath. He felt a chill from the attitudes of these people. His dream was too strange and too real.
"Tell them the answer to the riddle." Shieldmaiden Ange also frowned. She grabbed Su Chen's arm and said to him.
"Oh, the answer is time. Only time in this world can kill everything." Su Chen blurted out.
"So that's it, it's actually time." After hearing Su Chen's answer, everyone suddenly realized, and Hrov's arrogant face softened a little. A slave in his territory could actually come up with clever riddles, which was very important to the lord. It was very beneficial to his prestige and glory, and he couldn't help but look at Su Chen twice.
"Warriors from far away, as well as free people in the territory, there will be a banquet today to celebrate our reunion." Hrov said loudly, and he was immediately greeted by cheers from everyone.
"A Viking banquet! I really want to see it." Su Chen couldn't help but smile. He was looking forward to seeing a real Nordic Viking banquet, but at this moment he felt something was stuck on the collar around his neck. Something caught him, and then his whole body leaned back and fell to the ground hard, with gold stars flying in front of his eyes.
"Damn slave, he left the cowshed without authorization." A rude man's voice came from behind Su Chen. His left hand was an iron hook. It was this hook that hooked Su Chen's collar and pulled him away. Fell to the ground.
"Fuck, it really hurts." Su Chen's neck was strangled by this, and he almost couldn't breathe. The pain made him wake up instantly, and his back hurt from the stones on the ground.
"That's enough. This slave has just been sick. Take it easy, Granet. This is my property." Heartbreaker Hrov turned his horse's head and returned to the lord's house. He dropped this sentence. It wasn't that he liked Su Chen so much, but that he was worried about damage to his property.
"Yes, Lord." Granet, a ferocious man with a big belly, slightly bent in the direction of Hrov, but when he straightened up and looked at Su Chen on the ground, his face became ferocious again, and he explained He took off the leather whip rolled up around his waist and said, "If you haven't gotten up yet, do you want me to treat you?"
"Uh?" Su Chen stood up with a grin on his face. The pain on his body was definitely not a dream. What on earth was going on? He looked around blankly, at the Viking towns and the muddy ground. Most of the Viking men were not very hygienic. They had green tattoos on their faces, and their blue eyes revealed coldness and cruelty. Most of them were not very hygienic. The women are also slovenly. Only the shieldmaiden Ange looks clean and quiet. Of course, her beauty is also outstanding.
"Come on, there's still a lot of work to do. Don't think you can escape just because you were sick." Granet let go of the hook, but raised the whip in his hand and said to Suchen.
"I know." Su Chen quickly replied, and at the same time he realized that he was not speaking Chinese, but the Old Nordic language. This seemed to be an instinct, as if he could speak it since he was born.
"Here you go." Ange also spread out like the others, but when Su Chen passed by her, his white little hands stuffed a soft thing into his hands.
Su Chen secretly lowered his head and found a small piece of linen. It seemed that Ange had given it to him to wipe the wound. The fall had caused wounds on the back of his head and neck. He endured the sting and pressed the wound with the linen cloth. .
"This pain is definitely real. Isn't this a dream? I've traveled through time?" Su Chen followed the vicious Granet to the warehouse. There were many firewood arranged randomly outside the warehouse, and several slaves were working silently. Su Chen Only then did Chen confirm that he was not dreaming, but that his soul had passed away.
"I didn't expect that the jokes in the Internet article would actually fall on me." Su Chen couldn't laugh or cry. What's even more unlucky is that after time travel, he was neither a knight, aristocrat, a prince, a minister, nor even a free citizen. The lowest slave.
Fortunately, he was a slave of the Nordics. After confirming his situation, Su Chen moved the heavy firewood into the warehouse under the command of Grane while thinking calmly. He was secretly glad that he had to Know that although the Vikings would capture slaves, the Viking slaves had the opportunity to be released as freedmen. Freedmen who fought bravely could become Viking warriors, and by accumulating merit, they might even become lords.
But it would be miserable if he traveled to the Frankish area in the south. The serfs' descendants would never be able to stand up. Thinking of this, Su Chen suddenly exhaled a breath. He looked at his rough palms and a small patch on his arm. He has a green crow totem tattoo. Although he is now a slave, at least the person possessed by his soul is a pure Viking.
Although Su Chen is a happy-go-lucky person, when he was in an unfavorable environment, he adapted quickly. At this time, he began to carefully observe his surroundings. Granet supervised for a while and found that Su Chen was not lazy, so he left. He was busy with other things. Although he wanted to talk to other slaves, he found that no one paid attention.
"This is a small town with a population of about 150 people. There are no obvious fences or defenses. The lord's house located on the highest hill should be the last means of defense." Su Chen did the work in his hands. While carefully observing this territory.
He roughly judged in his mind that this was a small tribe, which meant that there might be a monarch above Lord Herov, but this was not what he needed to care about now. What he urgently needed to solve now was how to get rid of his slave status. , first became free men.
"Ulf." Just when Su Chen was thinking wildly, he heard a woman's voice coming from far away, so he looked up curiously and saw a brown-haired woman about thirty years old. is carrying a basket.
"Huh?" Su Chen didn't know who the other party was, so he didn't dare to answer her and could only pretend to concentrate on his work.
"Ulf, are your injuries healed?" The woman stepped forward and touched Su Chen's head, asking with concern on her face.
"Uh-huh." Su Chen could only nod randomly, not daring to look into her eyes, hoping that the other party would think that his body had not recovered yet.
"Poor Ulf, your mind is still so confused." The woman seemed to sigh and shook her head in disappointment, but she still opened the basket and stuffed half of the hard bread inside into Su Chen's arms, and then He turned around and left.
With this half piece of bread in his arms, Su Chen felt inexplicable. He once thought that the woman was his physical mother, but now he was sure that she was not because there was no collar around her neck, which meant that she was a free citizen. At this time, several other slaves looked at the bread in his hand with longing eyes. One slave even tried to grab it. Su Chen frowned and kicked it with his big foot. Among these people, he was the tallest and burliest. , but maybe because he was relatively dull in the past, these people thought that he did not dare to resist.
"Whoever dares to rob me, I will break his legs." There was no emotion in Su Chen's eyes. At this time, he had to protect his food, otherwise these people would rob him again and again. Seeing Su Chen's The other slaves were surprised by his tough attitude.
"That's enough, come and work, otherwise the overseer won't spare us when he comes back." One of the old slaves with gray hair and beard, a trace of surprise flashed in his silver-gray eyes, said to the others, and the other slaves seemed to listen. his.
Su Chen didn't care, and ate the barley bread with great effort. The bread was still mixed with bran, but it could satisfy his hunger. After all, he was doing manual labor. After eating the bread, Su Chen felt that his physical strength had recovered slightly. Some.
"Hey, idiot Ulf has finished his work in the warehouse. Go and let the cows out of the cowshed immediately." At this time, the overseer Granet came back. He raised his whip and hit Su Chen hard. The whip Purple traces were immediately left on Su Chen's body. The burning pain made Su Chen take a sharp breath, and he glared at Granet angrily.
"Why, you still dare to look at me like that. Do you want me to cut off your hands and feet?" Granet seemed to have never expected that Su Chen would dare to look at him openly instead of lowering his head like a slave. He was immediately angry. He quickly pulled out the knife from his waist.
"Don't you dare. I'm the lord's slave. If you cut off my hands and feet, I won't be able to work." Su Chen straightened up and said to Granet.
"Is he crazy?" The other slaves looked at the scene in front of them in fear. No one dared to confront the overseer head-on.
