Chapter 1130 Shaking Head 'YES' Nodding Head 'NO'
But Chen Zetao didn't have to worry about these problems: first, he and Jelena's mother weren't married, and Jelena was over 18, so he didn't have to take responsibility. That was why Xiao Peng said that.
Finally, Chen Zetao sighed: "Brother Xiao, blood is thicker than water! Isn't family the most important thing for us Daxia people?"
"Then take it back?" Xiao Peng asked back.
Chen Zetao shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll leave it to you from now on! Let's not talk about this anymore. What are you going to do next?"
Xiao Peng blinked. "Are you sure you want Jelena to come with me? Well, let me tell you, what I'm about to do is very likely to be dangerous. Do you think it's appropriate for her to go with me?"
Chen Zetao blinked after hearing this: "Dangerous?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Yes, the English Channel!"
Chen Zetao's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Huh? Do you need our company to come over? Isn't Algeria far from the English Channel?"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with gloom. "Brother Chen, just stay in the Mediterranean and fish. There's enough for you to fish there for a lifetime! Let me put it this way, originally, it was just dangerous for me to go there, but if you go with me, it would be 'very dangerous'."
"What do you mean?" Chen Zetao was puzzled.
Xiao Peng looked around and said, "Come on, follow me to the study. Let's talk there!"
Chen Zetao also became excited after hearing this. He felt that Xiao Peng was going to do something big.
After Xiao Peng brought the caracal and cheetah to their rooms, he and Chen Zetao went to the study. As soon as they entered, they found that Ilka and the others were also there.
"Huh? Why are you here?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Ilka held a few books in her hands and said, "Master, this is what happened. Miss Chen said she wanted to take this opportunity to teach Qiqi some cultural knowledge and asked me to help her find some suitable reading books."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "This is a good thing. You should learn from it too!"
"Yes, Master!" Ilka asked, "Are we disturbing you here?"
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this.
After seeing this, Ilka continued to look for books on the bookshelf, and kept asking for Jelena's opinion.
Chen Zetao was a bit confused. Wasn't this Ilka too aggressive? Xiao Peng had already told them to leave, so why didn't they leave? Was they still browsing the bookshelf?
Not to mention him, even Jelena was confused. What was going on?
Xiao Peng finally understood what was going on. He slapped his forehead with a look of pain on his face: "How could I forget again?"
"Forgot? Forgot what?" Chen Zetao asked puzzledly.
Xiao Peng explained, "Ilka is Albanian. Over there, a nod means a negative, and a shake of the head means a positive. Forget it, let's ignore them. Brother Chen, do you know Ragnar Lodbrok?"
Chen Zetao shook his head: "Who?"
Xiao Peng had a look of disappointment on his face: "Then do you know Ivar Ragnarsson?"
Chen Zetao continued to shake his head.
Xiao Peng said angrily, "Brother Chen, you are in this industry now. You can't just leave everything to your subordinates. You have to have enough knowledge yourself!"
At this moment, Jelena's voice reached the side. "Ivar Ragnarsson, nicknamed 'The Boneless,' is one of the most famous Vikings in history. He is the third son of the Viking hero Ragnar Ragnarsson. 'Ragnarsson' in his name is Ragnar plus 'SON,' meaning 'Son of Ragnar.' This naming practice has been practiced by many families from the Vikings to today's Nordic people. However, the origin of his nickname 'The Boneless' remains a mystery. According to Viking and English legends, Ivar was tall and burly, fierce in battle, and his body was incredibly flexible, like bone, hence the nickname 'The Boneless.' Others say he was disabled and could barely stand without support. The Vikings had a custom of killing children born with disabilities, but because his father was the Viking 'Sea King,' they spared him. However, I prefer to believe the nickname was given to describe Ivar's ruthless fighting style."
Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this, and then said to Chen Zetao, "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? I told you to read more, but you didn't! Are you embarrassed now?"
Chen Zetao glared at Xiao Peng fiercely but was speechless. He coughed dryly and said, "Don't ask me anymore. Can't you just tell me directly?"
Xiao Peng didn't answer Chen Zetao. Instead, he turned to Jelena and said, "My next assignment is to go to the English Channel. Tell me your guess. Don't be secretive. Say whatever comes to mind."
Jelena thought for a moment and said, "In 865 AD, the legendary Viking hero Ragnar Lodbrok was shipwrecked and eventually captured by King Ella of Northumbria in England. Since England was suffering greatly from Viking harassment at the time, Ella simply threw Ragnar Lodbrok into a pit of poisonous snakes, ending his life. However, this incident also angered Ragnar's third son, Ivar. The following year, Ivar led the Vikings to invade England, conquer Northumbria, and capture Ella. According to records, Ella was punished with the 'Blood Eagle'."
"Blood Eagle? What does that mean?" Chen Zetao asked in confusion.
Jelena explained, "It's a Viking punishment. They tear open the prisoner's back, break their ribs, and pull their lungs out, choking them to death. The lungs then contract like wings, hence the name 'Blood Eagle.' After Ivar defeated Northumbria, he continued to conquer other kingdoms on the English Isles, marking the beginning of Viking rule."
Chen Zetao asked in confusion, "Other kingdoms?"
Xiao Peng explained: "In the 8th century AD, the English Isle was essentially made up of seven independent states. This is what the British call the 'Seven Kingdoms' period, which you could think of as the British version of the 'Seven Kingdoms of the Warring States Period'. The Kingdom of Northumbria would be located in what is now northern England, including part of southern Scotland."
Jelena continued, "Legend has it that Ragnar Lodbrok was shipwrecked while transporting treasure and was captured and executed by Ella. And when Ivar led the Vikings to conquer England, he also continuously transported the wealth away from here."
Chen Zetao said disdainfully, "What valuable things were there in England back then? Anything as valuable as a silver cup or a copper kettle was a treasure. At most, you could find some gemstones or something like that, right?"
"Then do you know 'NIP'?" Xiao Peng asked back.
"Haha, I know that!" Chen Zetao laughed. "I've always been educating young people about culture. NIP is a famous Swedish esports team!"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "What the hell is going on here?"
Then Jelena on the side suddenly exclaimed: "You...you want to split up Britain?"
