Reborn As a Pirate

Chapter 28: Viking sword, Finnish sword

   Scandinavia has a long history of wrought iron. Its swords have always been famous in Europe for their sharpness and exquisiteness. Among them, the Finnish swords and Viking swords are the most famous and have their own characteristics.

   A group of three people, Lorraine, Henna, and Pierce wearing loose-fitting uniforms, talking and laughing walking in the cold alleys specializing in swords and swords in the port area.

   There are many mountains and few people in Northern Europe, and most of the streets are built on the mountains, which is completely different from the densely populated Western Europe.

   The black port of Stavanger is no exception.

   The wide alleys are paved with scattered bluestone floors. Following the ups and downs of the mountain, small buildings with pure wooden spires facing the street are built, with white walls, colorful roofs, and bright colors, just like a fairy tale.

   There are few people in the streets, but most of them are far apart. The greetings are all two meters away. They are not particularly familiar, and they hardly walk together.

   This made the Lorraine trio seem extraordinarily noisy and garish.

   Walking all the way, laughing all the way, they stopped in front of a store called [Martinni & Assbot], pulled the rattle, and opened the glass-encrusted door.

   There is no one in the shop.

   was full of messy and delicate swords. The boss was basking in the sun in Xiangyang’s front yard.

  In Northern Europe, this is a standard example of hospitality.

   The three of Lorraine chose to open.

  The shop has a dazzling array of weapons, knives, swords, shields, spears, axes, hammers, and hooks, each of which is a type of weapon that pirates love, and the most eye-catching ones are still their knives and swords.

   Lorraine saw three pure Viking swords on the sword stand on the wall. The blade was made of Uzi steel, with two blades at the front and a blood trough in the middle.

   They are 70 to 90 centimeters in length, and the sword body is clearly engraved with the [Ulfberht] inscription, which is the origin of the [Esboth] in the name of the shop.

The number of Finnish knives on display is much more than that of the noble Viking swords. Long knives, short knives, machetes, and straight knives. .

   They are not conspicuous. The only thing that distinguishes them from other knives is their unique, carved birch wood leather handle besides the smooth and simple blade.

   Lorraine pulled out a pair of wide straight blade long knives tied in the same tarp from the wooden barrel in the corner.

   They look almost the same. They have a thick blade with a palm width, a sharp blade as thin as a hair, a straight back and a pointed tip.

   Its blade is approximately 120 centimeters in length, with a single-handed birch wood leather handle without a calyx. The total length is nearly 140 centimeters.

   Its single blade weighs about four to five kilograms, which is slightly heavier, but Lorraine tried a few swings and found that the perfect center of gravity made it feel like a finger arm, and he could barely feel the blockage caused by the weight.

   Lorraine fell in love with this set of knives at once, picking up the knives and carefully crafting them.

   He saw intricate anti-skid patterns inlaid with copper wire on the handle of the knife. The center of the pattern is the inscription [Marttiini] of the flower body, which is the origin of the shop name [Marttiini].

   Henna came over with two flimsy short knives, and saw Lorraine playing with knives, she couldn't help feeling a little strange.

   "Aren't you using a stabbing sword? Why are you looking at the sword."

   "After a fight with Leif, I think I might need to strengthen."

   "Longer, heavier, more?" Henna looked at Lorraine dissatisfied, "A suitable weapon is a good weapon. I thought you wouldn't make such a mistake."

"There may be a bit of a misunderstanding here." Lorraine touched his nose embarrassedly. "The deck fighting technique passed down by the Drake family is actually a double sword. I have been practicing under the guidance of my father and brother since I was six. Wrong, I should have practiced for ten years."

   Henna widened her eyes: "The stabbing sword is not your favorite weapon?"

   "The stabbing sword is the standard of the Navy. Drake uses it only because the Navy requires us to use it."

   Everyone has a clear goal, and the selection of equipment will soon have results.

   Lorraine bought the set of long knives, with two thick fish-skin scabbards and a leather strap for hanging the knife, 16 pounds.

   Henna chose a set of eight red velvet flying knives, and bought two well-known Finnish short knives for seven pounds.

   Pierce bought a cable-breaking axe for Karen, and he also took a fancy to an imitation Viking dagger about fifty centimeters in length, squeaking, pleading.

   Lorraine frowned and looked at him: "Pierce, do you want to learn sword?"

   Little Pierce bit his lip and nodded vigorously.

"why?"

"Because I don't want to be a burden!" He said firmly, "I was standing behind Mr. Scott when the Gemini pirates robbed the ship. But not only was I unable to help, but also distracted him. As for injuries...I don't want this!"

   "If it is for this reason... this sword is not for you."

"Not suitable?"

"The dagger is a toy for Viking kids to learn swords, and it is also a weapon for women to defend themselves, but it has nothing to do with warriors and does not even deserve its own name." Lorrain rubbed his head, untied the command sword from his waist, and stuffed it into his hand. Here, "If you want to learn the sword, you can use it later."

   Pierce stared at the sword in his hand blankly: "Sir, it's..."

   "It is the sword my father used when he captured the first enemy ship, traveled around the world, and killed pirates. It is the sword of the brave. Promise me not to let it be dusted."

   "Yes! I swear by the reputation of the Attis family~www.wuxiamtl.com~ I will...will not disappoint your expectations!"

  ……

   The twists and turns, the perfect result.

   The group of people with new weapons returned to the ship and threw themselves into the final preparations before leaving the port.

   Two days later, the ship's side damaged by the hook rope was repaired and the bottom tank was filled with exquisite Nordic glass.

   The energetic Attis Beauty drove off the dock on the shore waves, and under the **** of the Gemini Star, it sailed out of the Boken Fjord, which had been stationed for more than ten days, and embarked on a new journey westward.

   This time the destination is in the remote Iberian Peninsula, in the vast Bay of Biscay, in Spain, on the side of the Bilbao Port, which is declining day by day, and is no longer prosperous.

   There is a calm harbor and passionate flamenco dancing.

   There will be the start and end of the Lorraine Triangle Trade Plan.

   There is the most important part.

Once he opened up the Spanish trade route, he could import the products of the New World into Britain, send Scottish spirits to Scandinavia, and then return the luxurious furs and exquisite craftsmanship from Northern Europe to the European continent. So far, a high-quality circulation system in the offshore business district has been formed.

   That will bring him wealth, and how fast the wealth can accumulate... Look at the wind, look at the sky, no longer need to look at people's faces.

   "Spain that once set off the era of great voyage...what will be waiting for me?"

   Lorraine stepped on the guardrail of the bow deck with one foot, holding his arm, and suddenly heard Pierce's childish yelling behind him.

   "Wind from southeast to south, level 5, stroke!"

   Lorraine grinned, released his hand and pointed straight ahead.

   "A quarter sail, open the sail! Head southwest, aim at Bermeo! Attis Beauty, set off!"
