Chapter 523

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

Those defenders who had almost collapsed in vain resisted more and more invaders, and they soon lost their garrison on the city wall, allowing the subsequent Viking fighters to climb and climb more smoothly.

These Balmerk Vikings fought their first real siege battle, and the victory is already in their hands.

The most ordinary warriors also had the urge to take possession of the Golden Mountain and kick the gold into their arms. They all felt that the Golden Mountain and Silver Mountain must be hidden in the neatly piled spire monastery.

The defending centurion, who was once very brave, also lost fighting spirit after the stone wall was broken by the enemy. In the futile resistance, he was chopped off with an axe and ended everything.

The officer is already a soldier, and the resistance of the comrades-in-arms has no effect!

In the end, more than twenty people alive and the priests rushed into the monastery, the thick solid wood door was tightly closed.

The archbishop looked sadly at the towering cross in the room, knelt on the burlap mat, and prayed sadly with the sheepskin book taken out of the golden box in his arms.

The monastery is like a ball cage, and the entire tidal island is a ball cage.

The priests and soldiers, more than fifty people gathered together, they prayed for God's salvation in the tragic moment, but in the eyes of the Vikings, these guys are just a bunch of cowardly rabbits hiding in the cave, or the fat in the sheepfold. sheep.

All the buildings outside the monastery were searched by the invading Vikings. Anyone who hid was hacked and killed. Only tyrannical and bloodthirsty savages remained outside.

Bijuni's heart was beating wildly, and he was very annoyed that he was already standing within the stone wall, but he did not get the gold and silver in the first place.

However, the brothers have already seized a batch of ironware and cloth, and these materials are still expensive when they are brought back to their hometown.

"Brothers! Come with me! Destroy the wooden door!" He roared and charged with a crossbow.

More than fifty fighters under Biyunni responded immediately. Among them, the brawny man with a heavy axe began to smash the wooden door.

Sawdust flew wildly, but the situation became more and more abnormal.

After a while, Geiger and his people also participated in the final fierce battle. Seeing that his brother was so slow, the anxious man directly shouted: "Your person is hungry? Why don't you have the strength to smash the door?"

"Don't talk coldly! This door is very hard, let your people smash it together."

"Okay. Hey! We smashed them away, how do we divide the contents?"

Biyuni smiled wantonly: "Of course it is the brothers who **** it by their ability. Listen, whoever snatches it, we brothers can't fight inwardly."

Geiger nodded, raising his small hand axe high and shouting at his brother behind him: "Men of Vashobi, smash the door for me! Whoever snatches the property will go to whoever robs it."

More than 20 warriors with two-handed wood axes began to smash the door, but they didn't know that the wooden door of the Lindisfarn Monastery was its last line of defense. In Northumbria, a rare wooden door is made of hardened oak that has been dried in the shade for an unknown period of time, and a number of latches are inserted behind the door.

The strong men sweat like rain, but the destruction of this door can be called Gu Sha.

"Are we going to knock down the sunset?" Geiger sullenly looked helpless.

Biyuni thought of a countermeasure: "Brother, let your people follow me."

"You? Have a plan?"

"Come with me quickly."

A group of soldiers besieging the monastery ran to the stone wall gate. They already knew the reason why the siege rush could not move the gate because there were a lot of stones and other debris piled up in the gate hole.

Bijuni was already carrying the stones, and he yelled to the guys: "Only Rurik's weapon can break the wooden door. Brothers, move the debris away and let the siege cart come in!"

Everyone roared, and all kinds of debris were also cleaned up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, because of the excellent effect of climbing the ladder to break the city, the door of the stone wall that has been directly knocked open by the idle siege cart.

At the same time, Rurik, who was waiting for the good news in the rear, saw this moment keenly.

"They are finally done!" Yevluo Jianfeng pointed directly, "My lord, we should go in."

Rurik nodded and dragged Paul, who was in close combat, panic and guilt, to his side.

What did the captured food officer think? Rurik had already speculated that he was inseparable from each other.

In the concept of people in this era, the Kingdom of Northumbria is only the kingdom of the king, and there is almost only a taxation and military protection relationship with ordinary subjects. The subjects felt that life was unsustainable, or did not want to be a serf, so they dared to flee.

However, it is difficult for them to give up their beliefs, and it is difficult for them to deny the three views that they have been shaped since birth. Of course, they are even more afraid of falling into hell.

Rurik didn't care so much, he solemnly ordered: "Now! I want to enter the monastery! You want to show me the way."

"Ah! I'm not familiar with this place..."

"It doesn't matter. I want you to help me find the holy objects! Listen, I am not very interested in general gold and silver, holy objects are important. For example, some parchment books, or other things, I want to bring all these go."

Paul heard a lot of things. He especially heard that the young barbarian leader pursued the "Sheepskin Book", which was really shocking.

Paul thought carefully, and stumbling in a hurry, said: "The monastery, there is a sacred book, and everyone in the whole kingdom knows this."

"Oh? What book?"

"The Gospel by Lindisfarne"

"Is it one?"

Hearing this word, Paul was shocked, and he hurriedly yelled: "Even if I am a low status, I know that it is indeed a treasure. I heard that it is written in Latin and is a holy treasure of the kingdom."

"That is my sacred object! I will keep it in my custody." Rurik is ambitious. Compared with ordinary gold and silver vessels, a book written in Latin, that is, the original version of the Bible, is really huge. Cultural value.

Rurik itself is not interested in the beliefs described in the scriptures, but it is necessary for the Russ to learn from its cultural and artistic qualities. Since it is written in Classical Latin, it should be owned by it. Classical Latin is still an important diplomatic language in southern Europe. The most important thing is that the Latin vocabulary in this book will greatly expand the vocabulary of the Rus people and become the cornerstone of the language of the rise of the Rus Principality.

Rurik rushed to the opening door with his cronies excitedly, and he suddenly saw that the siege cart had rushed in.

On the other hand, more than forty people flocked to the car, and Biyunni became the commander of the group.

The rushing car aimed at the tight wooden door full of axe marks, and all the dead bodies and debris in front were cleaned up, leaving a fairly smooth stone road with only blood stains left.

"Brothers! Go ahead!"

With an order from Biyunni, hundreds of Viking warriors roared one after another, and the people manipulating the cart seemed to have endless power. They pushed the car faster and faster, and when the collision was about to happen, everyone got out of their hands.

The heavy rushing car sank vigorously. It did not really hit the thick and hard oak door, but broke the door frame cleanly. The wooden door with the door frame and some stones collapsed as a whole.

The people in the monastery began to scream honestly, and some people remained kneeling in despair, and they kept crossing their chests waiting for death.

The Vikings who rushed in had no nonsense. They saw any monk in black wanton hacking and killing, rage and greed dominated their minds, and became mad during the killing. No one even wanted to capture the captives and take them back to be slaves.

They were once slashed for slashing, and the sacred monastery was immersed in blood.

Rurik was anxious that the "Gospel of Lindisfarne" that he found in the first place was held in his arms by the bishop himself. How could such a holy thing be defiled by barbarians at sea?

However, the bishop always showed a solemn temperament while he was neatly dressed. He was watched by Bijuni, and the two soldiers did not kill him, but were controlled.

The gospel fell to the ground, and a sharp iron sword was attached to the neck of the bishop who had already closed his eyes and was waiting to be killed.

Biyuni punched him to wake him up, and then questioned him in the Norse dialect of Port Narvik: "Gold! Silver! Warehouse! Where are they?!"

The bishop did not want to cooperate at all, nor did he want to make any resistance.

A warrior built the golden box of the gospel, and proudly offered it to Bijuni. The soldiers knew very well that the boss of Bijuni had a huge reputation and pleased him. If he became a leader in the future, he would definitely benefit from it.

Bijuni was overjoyed in the gold box as a result: "I don't know what kind of treasure this precious gold box is going to contain."

He winked, and his men directly pressed the bishop against the wall.

Biyuni kept asking, but the bishop himself didn't understand Biyuni's yelling, and he wanted to die quickly.

"It's really hard, I'll ask you again! Where is the most precious baby?!"

The bishop's eyes occasionally glanced at the gospel book that fell on the ground, and the holy relic was trampled on by the barbarian warriors at will (in fact, the relatively dim room makes it difficult to see the book).

Biyuni became angry and ordered his subordinates to be physically tortured at random.

The bishop was chopped off his hands and feet, then he was **** with twine and tied to the wooden pillars of the monastery.

Biyuni carried an axe personally and approached the poor man, "Tell me the most precious baby, or I will cut off your kneecap now."

Seeing that the other party still gritted his teeth and didn't make a statement, Biyunni had to suffer the corporal punishment.

A middle-aged man was screaming in pain, and Rurik, who had already entered the monastery, saw what his Bijuni brothers were doing.

And the sacred monastery became hell, and Paul who came with him was almost faint. He was only fortunate that he was wearing a cloak with a white background and blue stripes, so that he could avoid being hacked and killed by having it. But in this situation, he felt that he was a great sinner, so he might as well be killed.

Rurik approached Bijuni and saw that the brother was doing something meaningless and disgusting, and he couldn't help but get furious: "Give them a happy death, without any torture."

"But this person refuses to bring out the sacred treasure! Brothers, we are here to find the treasure!"

Bijuni gave Rlic a big reminder, and then look at this poor man who is dying, his wonderful Mediterranean hairstyle, his identity is already clear.

"The Gospel of Lindisfarne! Where is it!"

"I want a copy! Give it to me!"

Rurik repeated these two words aloud, and finally shocked the bishop to open his eyes. The bishop stared straight at Paul, who had just picked up a book in the chaos.

The look in Paul was a curse of "you traitor must go to hell", and the book he was holding fell directly to the ground.

"Paul?" Rurik turned his head abruptly, and when he saw the book-like objects under his feet, his hair trembled with surprise on the spot.

Paul hurriedly picked up the book again. He himself did not know how to read Latin. He just thought that this strangely dropped book had extremely exquisite patterns. Thinking that there should be many books in the monastery. Although this one is not sacred enough, the owner must know New love.

He offered it, and at this time, the bishop was dying, and he was swearing heartbreakingly.

The person who was supposed to be elegant and easy-going is now insulting and gentle, and his groundbreaking abuse fully illustrates one thing.

Rurik noticed the extremely gorgeous pattern painted on the cover, which is properly a Celtic style! He did not expect the most precious holy book of this monastery, except for the cover pattern, the body is so simple. He opened the book, and page after page of parchment was densely written with the content of a certain art style very neatly. There are also some paintings in the book, which are really abstract.

Rurik noticed all the text that was obviously a title, even if it was a strange artistic style, he still recognized certain key words.

that's it! No mistake!

Rurik closed the book and embraced his chest excitedly, and then asked Paul to speak on his behalf.

Paul stumbled in extreme tension and said: "My master, Rurik of Rose, will keep this sacred book forever."

Hearing, the bishop who had fallen into the last madness fell silent for an instant. He stared at Rurik's face incredulously, really not knowing what to say.

And Rurik also pretended to drew a cross on his chest and bowed slightly, not wanting to talk to the tied man again.

After all, he who commanded the army to kill here was Rurik himself, and the kingdom of Northumbria was really a villain, and everything he said was unnecessary.

Rurik turned his head to look at Bijuni, showing the tree in his arms: "Enough is enough, in fact, this Biblo is the most important treasure."

However, Biyonni shook his head blankly: "What? Brother, only gold, silver and gems are precious!" Then he continued to ask the bishop where the gold is.

Rurik really couldn't stand it, spying on Bijuni's ignorance, and solemnly ordered Yevlo: "Enough is enough. Give the trapped person a quick death."

Yevlo understood, holding a sword to complete the final blow, the bishop died...

"What are you doing!" Biyunni stomped his feet vigorously with anger. "Brother, I haven't asked the whereabouts of the warehouse."

"Enough is enough. Take a look!" Rurik casually pointed at the people scurrying in the monastery. They did indeed get more or less gold and silver.

At this moment, the two brothers Geiger and Esbjrn, and even the older brother Frocky, who was ignored by Bijuni, all got through the side door. Then the five suitcases were moved out, and the bronze lock was smashed with the axe. Inside were shiny silver coins, each with the head of Charlemagne printed on it.

"Brother! We are rich!" Geiger yelled excitedly.

The anger of Biyuni disappeared instantly when he saw this, and he happily embraced the silver coin, slashing the silver in the suitcase, listening to the crisp sound and laughed.

Rurik couldn't laugh, as if the looting of gold and silver really had nothing to do with him. As the so-called robbers and pirates indulge in gold and silver, the really strong know that books and the huge amount of information they carry are the key to achieving the rise of power.

He casually ordered Jeflo and other close mercenaries: "Don't worry about the gold and silver jewelry, find me books, search the entire monastery, don't let go of any books. Find books and give them to me, there will be a great reward!"
