You and me under the world tree

However, the truth is not that simple after all.

Because the entire Nine Realms is not a so-called game, it is naturally impossible to use the so-called 'refresh mechanism' to fool the past.

"Speaking of which, at the very beginning, I didn't know the specific things, but recently, I also understand the reason."

When Dietrich said that, Hodder didn't give any positive response.

At this moment, his eyes were only looking at the sea of ​​flowers in the distance, and then at the sky.

"Whether it is the ground under our feet or the sky above our heads, these were once the bodies of the ancestor giants, and whether it is the gods, giants, or even you, you are all part of the giants, and you can even trace back to the ancient source of life Quality: eitr."

According to legend, it is a highly poisonous substance that is harmful to any life.

At the same time, it is also the key to dividing life and death that appear in definition.

"Ah."

At this moment, Hodder just responded lightly.

Unknowingly, the scene that he had spied on appeared in his mind.

The kid named Ross had 'seen' that.

It was eitr who gave the definition of "life" today, and even transformed the original flame giant, which should have no concept of life and death and was composed of pure barren flames, into a "giant" that was no different from the frost giant.

Even the gods want to use this method to solve the flame giant who is like a nightmare to them.

It's just that the once blind God of War didn't expect that this desperate battle plan was just an appearance.

Unknowingly, that kind of inexplicable anger that was almost instinctive surged deep in his heart.

"Cough cough cough..."

This made Howard cough involuntarily.

Maybe it's a habit.

This time was different from before, he quickly calmed down the sad anger deep in his heart.

"All in all, you can all be regarded as the descendants of Ymir, the creation of his body, and a part of this huge world."

In this regard, Hodder chose to remain silent.

He already understood what Dietrich wanted to say.

"But I'm different."

she said.

"Humans are the weakest creatures in the Nine Realms, and I am special."

In fact, Dietrich herself had said it very implicitly.

And she's not purely human, by the very definition.

The so-called 'human' is nothing more than a layer of skin and identity to her, but inside is another creation entirely.

But if you think about it carefully, this kind of thing has actually been disclosed long ago.

You must know that in the eyes of some people nowadays, the so-called Dietrich Dietermarsen, a god-given warrior, is behind a 'magic creation'.

Her superhuman strength, her self-ignited flames, feel counterintuitive everywhere.

This is exactly the same as that traceable magic.

Even, because of this, most people preconceived that a person like Dietrich was associated with magic.

This ensured her 'safety'.

But now, what matters is not this, but her essence.

"Strictly speaking, I am a foreign object in this huge giant body."

For a moment, the whole garden became silent.

And the lingering tranquility is even suffocating.

"This kind of thing should be easy for you to understand, what will happen if the wound touches dust?"

There is no doubt that it will be infected.

But of course, the birth, old age, sickness and death of human beings cannot be directly applied to giants and gods no matter what.

Not to mention, it was Ymir, the legendary ancestor of the frost giant.

"But you live here after all."

After a long silence, Hodder finally responded.

But at this moment, the silent person became Dietrich.

She first brushed her white hair, then looked up at the man beside her.

At the same time, he also looked at her.

The eyes of the two sides meet at this moment.

"It's a strange thing to say, you know?"

"what?"

"Human beings can never define their own existence, because human beings cannot walk alone, let alone alone."

"Ok?"

"We need a name, but a name is what we use to call ourselves, and it is what others call us, and a name also contains identity."

When he said this, Hodder closed his eyes.

Some words are not only for Dietrich, but also for himself.

"You're Dietrich, it doesn't matter if it's Dietrich Dietermadottir, or Dietrich Dietermaersen, or even Dietrich von Bean, what matters Yes, you are you."

She looked at him without saying a word.

However, those magnificent red eyes seemed to be shining with something.

"Let's make a deal."

She saw him hold out his hand.

"You once said that you will witness me, and you will know who I am, so in contrast, I can also witness your existence, and I know who you are."

"Hodder..."

"You are a Gothic princess, you are a descendant of the Amerungian family, you are the daughter of King Ditmar, and you are a human being with the blood of the devil from Mehmet flowing in your body."

Then, Dietrich slowly closed her eyes

She stretched out her little finger and hooked him.

"You are a wise man from the Netherlands, you are a sage from the Volsung family, and you are a human being with the blood of the god of war flowing in your body."

Then, the voices of the two gradually merged.

"No matter what happens, I will keep that in mind."

This is his promise to her.

It's just simple words, but it's more powerful than the so-called oath.

No one witnesses this agreement, only rose petals are flying.

Speaking of which, what exactly do I want to write in this volume? 【Stay】

The Huahai plot in the scheduled outline has not been around for so long, so I have to push the plot quickly.

By the way, post it again_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 23: Click until the end

A great rose garden in the Tyrolean mountains created by the dwarven warrior Laurin.

Now under the curse of magic and his own oath at the cost of his life, this land has become an area that is almost closed to the outside world.

That is to say, only at the turn of morning and evening will there be a passage to the outside world.

And when Hodder and the others decided to come here and really step into this small world, it was doomed to the final result.

Under normal circumstances, they would have to wait until the next morning if they wanted to leave here.

In other words, they must stay in this place for one night.

However, neither Hodder nor Dietrich are the kind of people who can relax.

And after a not-quite-quite-a-half-minute rest and refreshment, they're sure to do something else.

And after hearing what Dietrich told about her experience when she was young, he had other doubts in his heart.

For example, Laurin's final result.

"You said before that Laurin closed this beautiful garden of his own at the cost of his life."

Under the night sky, Hodder suddenly brought the topic to this aspect.

And after hearing what he said, Dietrich couldn't help being taken aback.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I want to ask how he is doing after that."

"his words……"

When the subject of the dwarf was brought up, Her Royal Highness Gothic Princess frowned.

She couldn't help but recall the past.

And even now, she can't forget that time.

"Speaking of which, I've always been curious about what it would be like to cast a curse at the cost of my life."

Just as she was recalling, Hodder's voice lingered in her ears.

After hearing these words, her expression became even weirder.

"This... How should I put it? I also find it very strange. Anyway, that dwarf named Laurin didn't leave his body behind."

"Is there no body left?"

"Well, he only left behind his armor, weapons and some accessories."

"What about others?"

"Dissolved."

"??"

After hearing Dietrich's answer, Hodder was a little confused for a moment.

Because he had no idea what it meant.

"What is dissolved?"

"It's literally." Dietrich said, "After the guy named Laurin cast a curse at the cost of his own life, his body melted into the earth as if being emptied."

Perhaps, for ordinary people, they don't think about this issue at all.

Because they know that even if they think deeply, they will not have the answer.

But Hodder was different.

Knowing that this world is a living thing, many things have to be rethought.

For example, the so-called source of life.

As we all know, whether it is humans, elves, dwarves, giants, or gods, their life and blood can be said to be derived from the ancestor of the frost giant Ymir who has 'dead' and transformed into the world tree.
