You and me under the world tree

Who would it be?

Chapter 27: Not a single one left

I don't know if it's because Laurin also knows that his sobbing and crying are really ugly.

It even reached the point where it affected the logic of thinking.

After expressing the last words, this photo session ended.

The illusion began to distort, and Hodder's five senses were gradually becoming normal.

And during this brief tearing and twisting process, his brain was also working rapidly, connecting everything he knew so far.

If you think about it in the usual way, Laurin is also a victim in a sense.

He who had nothing to do was suddenly visited by the gods one day.

He may have thought about resisting, but as a warrior of the dwarf kingdom, his physical fitness was naturally inferior to that of real gods and giants.

Coupled with the lack of divine power, even though he is far stronger than ordinary people, he is still weak in the eyes of gods.

Then, he lost.

His life was threatened.

He may have been tortured, or he may have been terrified by the sheer threat to his life.

It is even possible that he was imprisoned, and his memory was read when he could not resist.

Anyway, there are all sorts of possibilities.

However, Hodder didn't know the specific situation, so he could only put forward a reasonable guess about the past here.

However, this kind of thing is actually not very important.

Because no matter what, Laurin was dead, and Hodder himself was not very interested in such details.

All that matters is the pure framework and prototype.

Assuming that Laurin did not lie, it means that there is indeed a second or even more than two informers.

So how many people are left?

Iverdi, the king of the dwarves, currently exists in Walter Alheim.

Perhaps the dwarf Alves the Wise also existed in Waye Alheim.

There are also the dwarf brothers Du Lin and Du Hualin who don't know where they are now.

Regardless of the blacksmith brothers who lived in no fixed place and whose whereabouts are unknown now, it seems that the only ones who have a deep contact with the gods are the king of the dwarves, Ivardi, and his staff, Alves.

So, could it be them?

Regarding this point, Hodder did not immediately issue a judgment.

He gave up instead.

Because the evidence is totally lacking.

But at least there is an idea that can be considered along the way.

"Hodder!"

Finally, just as the sage was holding his breath, he heard the time symbolizing 'now'.

Opening his eyes, what greeted his eyes was the current view of the dwarf crypt.

Dilapidated, decadent and dusty.

And the only thing that tells of the past glory of this place may be this treasure house full of treasures.

"Well, what happened?"

After taking a few deep breaths, he finally opened his mouth to respond.

"Are you OK?"

"fine."

When he turned around, what he saw was Dietrich's expression that hesitated to speak.

"When the ring was shining, it was like you lost your sanity."

Dietrich said.

"Because the photo is stored in that ring."

"What image?"

"It's Lauryn's confession and apology."

Howard said.

After hearing the sage's answer, Dietrich suddenly had nothing to say.

Because she didn't know what kind of response she should give at this time.

At this moment, an inexplicable discomfort even surged deep in her heart.

"Is there any use in confessing and apologizing now?"

Although this should be a question, anyone can see that she is holding a negative attitude.

And Howard thinks the same way.

"It's useless." He said, "To put it bluntly, he just wants to make himself feel better."

"But it didn't do that at all."

For these, no one has more say than Dietrich.

Because she had witnessed the last mental state of the dwarf warrior.

Desperate, broken.

"So what the hell is going on here."

"A family mastered a secret, and then they were betrayed by their close friends, and their family was wiped out. It's that simple."

Yes, this matter is as simple as that.

The only thing that can make people delve into it is the word 'secret'.

But even so, Dietrich still felt panicked in her heart.

"It's really... hypocrisy."

"maybe."

"When I think that such a person has cultivated a beautiful sea of ​​flowers, I feel a little depressed."

"After all, you can't say that. The big rose garden in Tyrol is really beautiful."

Although there was no change in expression, Hodder finally gave his own opinion on this matter.

"Even though Laurin is hypocritical and decadent now, he was once a teenager and a well-known warrior in the dwarf kingdom."

"Hmm...you seem to know who he is?"

"I don't know much."

So what is the identity of your dwarf friend?

At this moment, such a question suddenly emerged from the depths of her heart.

And vaguely, she already had some almost certain guesses about this point in her heart, what was missing was the final verification.

This is a thin layer of window paper.

However, she didn't pierce it, but turned around and left.

"Today can be regarded as answering the doubts in my heart."

"me too."

Staring at the ring of the fog demon in his palm, Hodder said in a low voice.

"I have to take this ring away. It is a clue and an explanation to my friend."

"You don't have to tell me about that."

"But it's essentially your trophy isn't it?"

Unknowingly, the originally dull atmosphere became relaxed again.

But before Hodder took a few steps by himself, he noticed something was wrong.

"Ok?"

He turned his head and stared at the tombstone with only name and taboo engraved on it.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing, maybe it's just an illusion."

For a moment, he felt as if he saw a small figure.

But fleeting.

"Laurin, who didn't even leave her soul, can't possibly have any thoughts left."

Immediately, they withdrew directly from the crypt where the dwarves lived and returned to the ground.

They returned to the sea of ​​flowers, and then sat down again.

From the beginning to the end, Hodder stared at the moon above the sky.

It was the glow of the moon chariot of the moon god Mani.

It exudes a sense of coolness, and seems to be declaring the tranquility of this land.

but……

"Unfortunately, this tranquility is just an illusion."

Although his words sounded out of context, Dietrich understood the reason behind it.

"It's going to be a mess."

"No, it's already getting messy, and it depends on how it develops next."

As the sage said, during the time they searched and entered the great rose garden of the dwarf Laurin, there was a news that was rapidly fermenting in the Grimes area.

Lord Limstein was killed, and there wasn't even a living creature left in the palace, not a single one.

Even the palace was burned down by a fire.

Chapter 28: Legislation

Limstein, the lord of the Grimes area, has a happy family.

He married a beautiful wife, and his wife gave birth to several children for him.

A total of two sons and two daughters.

Among them, the eldest son yearns for martial arts, and is now gradually taking over the defense of the palace and commanding the guards under the lord's direct control.

And anyone can see that Limstein is turning his child's mind around.

Letting him take over the guards and take charge of defense matters is the first step of trust in itself.

The eldest son will eventually inherit his position and everything.

As for the second son, he doesn't have any special preferences, so he naturally lives under the halo of his elder brother.

As for the two daughters, one is already a beautiful young girl, and the other is a recently born child.

She is loved by her brother and sister.

Regardless of status and status, such a composition can be called happiness no matter where it is placed.

However, such a family was burned down by a fire in the end, and even the youngest daughter did not survive.

And this statement is also controversial.
