"It's not fair. You have been preparing for battle since you were born, and I am just a slave doing rough work." Su Chen shook his head slightly. It was not a wise thing to challenge a Viking warrior rashly. After accepting the challenge, it will be a fight to the death. Whether he is killed by Vargas or kills Vargas, the consequences are not something that a slave like him can bear.
"What he said makes sense." The story of the Lord of the Rings that Su Chen told the Norse people at the banquet has already made many people like him, a companion of Vargas said.
"Although it's a bit unfair to you, I have sworn to God Thor. If I fail to fulfill my oath, my reputation will be damaged." Vargas said a little unreasonably. After all, the Viking warriors were very concerned about their own rights. Reputation is particularly important, and killing a slave is not a big deal.
"Dear Warrior Vargas, maybe we can compete in another way, what do you think?" Su Chen rolled his eyes and suggested to Vargas.
"What?" Vargas asked curiously.
"The competition between men is just a competition of endurance, balance and strength. We can break these down into different events and conduct competitions." Suchen said to Vargas.
"Separate competition, I don't understand what this means. If you dare to play tricks on me, I will chop off your head directly." Vargas frowned, and his mind was completely lost. Listening to Su Chen What he said seems to make sense, but there seems to be something wrong with it. Once the Viking warriors encounter something they don't understand, they will first grab the opponent's collar, and then give a fierce warning.
"If you want to know, it's best to let go of me." Su Chen said calmly, looking at Vargas who was grabbing his clothes and leaning towards him.
Vargas had a look of confusion on his face, but the others were watching the excitement. In the boring life before the raid, some extraordinary activities would always be welcomed by the North people.
The dense black forest stands quietly like a quiet oil painting. The rocks, thorn bushes and sheltering weeds make it more difficult for passersby. Suchen and Vargas stood at the edge of the forest. The other Norse people were very interested. followed behind them.
"I remember that there is an ancient oak tree in the center of this forest, and there lives a prophet far away from the world. If we can run in the forest at the same time, who can get there first, get a token from the prophet, and then How about we go back and let everyone judge, whose token is the most precious, who can win?" Su Chen still had some memories of Ulf, he remembered that when he was a child, he got lost in the black forest and received help from the prophet.
"Huh?" Vargas fell silent, his brows knitted together, as if he was trying to determine whether this was Su Chen's trick.
"It's a good game. I really want to see what gifts you can get from the prophet?"
"But I was always afraid of the prophet."
"Let's get started! May the gods bless you."
"It's dangerous in the forest. I've heard the howls of wolves."
"And the bear, which has already eaten one of the tribe's sheep."
But the people in North who were watching were already talking about it. This kind of participatory game made everyone excited.
"Then hurry up, this is also an interesting adventure." Vargas took off his fur shawl and threw it at his feet, he couldn't wait to say.
"Yes." Su Chen nodded. He didn't have precious fur to keep him warm, so the two of them came to a place with a rock as the starting point.
"Hmph." Vargas glanced at Su Chen disdainfully. He stepped forward into a lunge and opened his hands like soaring birds.
Su Chen silently knelt down to tie the heavy shoelaces on his feet, then put his hands on the ground and squatted down. This strange posture made everyone stunned.
"What is he doing? Does he have a stomachache?"
"It's not OK to be unwell at this time."
"That is also the will of the gods."
The North people shook their heads and were not very optimistic about Su Chen. They felt that his posture was not elegant at all. On the contrary, Vargas had the air of a warrior.
"Lord Vargas." At this moment, Granet called Vargas aside. Vargas thought he had brought the lord's order, so he had to follow him to the rock.
With a flattering smile on his face, Granet whispered something in front of Vargas, but because of the distance, Su Chen didn't hear it clearly.
"Go away." But suddenly Vargas growled at Granet with disgust, raised Yang's thick arm, as if to shoo away a fly, and then returned without looking back.
"What happened?" One of Vargas' companions asked curiously. He didn't understand why Vargas suddenly became furious.
"It's none of your business." But Vargas said rudely. He looked at Su Chen again, his eyes seemed a little complicated, "Can we start?"
"Wait a minute." Suddenly Su Chen raised his head and said to Vargas.
"What's wrong?" Vargas said impatiently.
"Wagers, if I win, don't cause trouble to me from now on." Suchen said to Vargas.
"Of course, but what if you lose?" Vargas sneered, and he touched the beard on his chin and said.
"It's up to you." Su Chen said calmly.
"Okay." Vargas was very satisfied. He decided to cut off one of Su Chen's ears or nose to punish this slave who didn't know how high the sky was.
"Then I will be the referee." At this time, the shield girl Ange came out, holding a piece of linen in her hand. Her appearance surprised everyone.
"Ange?" Vargas looked directly at Ange. The purpose of his coming here was to marry Ange, but it was a pity that he was disturbed by the slave Su Chen.
"Since the dispute started because of me, of course it is most appropriate for me to be the referee." Ange said calmly to Vargas and others.
"That's right, Ange, I will show you what a real Viking man looks like, and you will be willing to be my wife." Vargas's eyes almost burst with lustful flames, and he was extremely angry. said.
"I'm going to let go." There was no wave in Ange's eyes. She raised her hand holding the linen and raised it high.
Su Chen put his hands on the ground, then squatted and raised his buttocks, raising his right heel. His body was like a cheetah ready to explode. However, this posture seemed really weird to the Norse people, so it caused another burst of laughter.
"The slave's running posture is really strange. Is he preparing to pick up something?"
"A real Viking would have stood up straighter."
"I think I can already tell who's going to win."
The North people began to joke and laugh. They were full of ridicule towards Ulf, but Su Chen turned a deaf ear to it.
At this moment, Ange let go of his hand and the linen fell fluttering. Suchen, Vargas and the onlookers all stared at the piece of linen.
When the linen fell to the ground, Vargas roared and rushed out with a lunge, and Su Chen dwarfed and rushed out at the same time. The two of them plunged into the dense forest, with branches and bushes. As the two passed by, some sharp leaves would even scratch their skin exposed outside their clothes.
As a Viking warrior, Vargas was strong and his explosive power was indeed amazing. He rushed in front of Su Chen, but Su Chen clamped his arms tightly to his sides and adjusted his breathing carefully. , he knew that there was still some distance from the center of the forest, and it was important to maintain speed and endurance.
The two of them chased each other in the forest. They jumped over the fallen towering trees and crossed the gurgling streams. Su Chen even squatted down to scoop up water and slapped it on his face. Cool down yourself. Soon a section was covered with dense woods, blocking their way.
"We should go around." Su Chen looked at it with his hands on his hips and said to Vargas.
"Huh, no need." Vargas rushed into the woods like a bullfight. He waved his hands roughly, breaking the branches in front of him, and rushed forward forcefully.
Su Chen looked around, and suddenly a memory emerged. Scarlet eyes once appeared in the woods. He immediately realized that something was wrong. Those were the eyes of a beast, which meant that the road to the center of the forest was very dangerous.
"Forget it, I'll take a detour!" Su Chen pondered for a moment, then immediately chose to bypass this forest. Although the journey would be longer, it would be safer.
"Oh~~." At this moment, Su Chen heard the roar of wild beasts and the roar of Vargas in the woods. It seemed that he was really in danger.
Su Chen frowned and hesitated. He could choose to turn a blind eye. In this case, Vargas might be killed by a wild beast in the forest, and then it wouldn't matter to him whether he won or lost. But then he thought about it, if this Viking who came from afar was Warrior, if you die tragically from the mouth of a beast because of a competition with you, I am afraid that the lord will be furious and your own life will be in danger.
"Rub." Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately glanced around him. He saw a broken branch. He immediately stepped forward to pick up a sharp stone fragment, peeled off all the branches and leaves of the branch, and quickly picked up a piece of wood on the ground. A dead rattan was used to tie the gravel pieces to the top of the wooden pole.
Although he wanted to save people, he also had to be fully prepared. After preparing his wooden gun, he lowered himself into the woods. The closer he got to the sound, the more he felt like he was in the center of a typhoon, with trees falling all over the place. On the ground, the leaves on the ground were swept aside, and even potholes were knocked out of the muddy ground.
"Oh wow." At this moment, Su Chen heard the roar of the beast. He hurried forward to check and saw an adult black bear on a hillside. It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and stretched out its claws. The man stood up, and a huge shadow fell right in front of Su Chen.
