You and me under the world tree

For Hodder, that's enough.

He didn't continue to speak, but smiled and drank the vegetable soup.

And after seeing Huo De's inexplicable smile, Hela was very angry.

Like before, she picked up the vegetable soup and began to drink it in big gulps.

At this moment, the soup bowl obscured her view.

So she didn't see Hodder's gloomy gaze.

It's not that simple at all.

Chapter 33: Clouds that linger

On the dinner table, there was peace.

A lot of time was wasted talking and staring at each other before, and the barbecue and vegetable soup have become cold.

However, Huo De and the others did not have the idea of ​​wasting food, so they quickly cleaned up the food on the table.

And soon, Hela went into the kitchen, took out the baby food that Huo De had prepared a long time ago, and walked to the second floor.

She wasn't proficient at taking care of babies or anything like that, but she had a good relationship with Asuraki's child, so it didn't matter.

As for Hodder, he started to put away the dishes, and then began to wash.

Everything seemed extremely peaceful.

After all, this is part of daily life and something we are used to.

It was also because she was used to it that Hela didn't notice at all that the sage in the world didn't have a good expression from the beginning to the end.

"Humph~"

With a brisk tone, Hela quickly bounced up to the second floor.

In contrast to her, Hodder just stared blankly at the cistern filled with clear water.

Then, he took a deep breath.

Regarding the so-called prophecy, Hela was not particularly clear about it for various reasons.

She took it for granted that the so-called prophecy result she heard was the one she knew.

And the prophecies in her cognition are naturally linked to magic.

Because except for a small number of special existences, if you want to predict the future, you still have to rely on magic.

That is the No. 18 rune among the original runes.

The gods never reveal their secrets to humans.

The king of the gods seems to be generous, sharing the mysteries of magic with mankind, but he has retained this last power.

For humans, it is full of lingering mystery.

However, the person who used the so-called prophecy ability this time was not a wizard.

It was just a child.

Rose.

That child was fundamentally different from a wizard.

Although he himself possesses an incomparably outstanding magical ability, it is two different things from magical ability.

Just like those gods and giants with special powers are also proficient in magic.

These are two different things at all.

And his ability to predict the future is more like a special ability similar to divine power.

Although it does not seem to have any improvement in combat effectiveness, it does not have any positive power.

But it is undeniable that this force is powerful.

Because it means that everything in this world is not a secret to the person concerned.

He can 'see' both the past and the future.

However, for such Rose, his only shortcoming is his extremely weak physique.

Because of the weakness of the human body, he cannot bear such a powerful force.

But these are not important, what is important is what does what he foresees mean?

"Ugh."

Unknowingly, he got a headache again, and Huo De subconsciously exerted force.

'click'

With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the wooden plate in his hand.

And this crack seemed to indicate something, which made him lose his mind.

"Tsk, what a hassle."

He stroked the wooden plate with his palm, completely repaired the crack, and then threw the plate casually aside.

And almost at the same time, Hela's voice came from behind.

"Hodder!"

"Ok?"

"I finished feeding the baby."

"Well, okay, give me her bowl."

"But she doesn't seem to like liquid food very much now."

Just when Hela said that, Huo De also saw the small bowl, and there was still a lot left in it.

"Is she unwilling to eat?"

"Well, although I was hungry, I ate a lot, but later I didn't like it, and I looked angry."

When talking about this, Hela's expression became a little subtle.

"I think her teeth are not bad, and she bit me."

Heila held out his hand.

And when Huo De looked back, what he saw were clearly visible teeth marks.

And suddenly, an inexplicable smile surged up in his heart.

"what happened?"

"What else can happen? She doesn't like to eat, I'm afraid she won't be full, so she just took a bite."

Hela said angrily.

"Then she has quite a temper."

"It's just suffering."

Hella said.

However, anyone could see that she was not angry.

Although I don't know why, people always subconsciously bind 'death' with various bad tempers.

As if the Nether Queen must be a bad-tempered horror.

Well, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this statement.

After all, no one would expect a person to retain a docile personality after experiencing misery and pain.

But to Hela, children are always special.

She always has a tolerant attitude towards these children, including Asuraki.

And now she doesn't care about it at all.

Instead, she cared more about other things.

For example:

"Can she have some bread or something? Her teeth look fine."

"This one……"

On this point, Howard has a completely different view.

"Let's take it slow. The bread and other foods we usually eat may be too oily for her, or maybe a little greasy. I'm afraid her stomach won't be able to bear it."

At this moment, the sage was silent for a moment, and then looked at the homemade oven beside him.

"I'll bake some cake tonight, it'll be milder in the mouth, and it'll give the kid a bit of chewing."

"Great."

"Forbidden, it has nothing to do with you. I only make cakes for this child."

"Then you are too much!"

Conversations full of the atmosphere of daily life echoed in the mansion of the sage.

Unknowingly, the dark clouds lingering in the sky were also dispelled a lot.

However, above the ancient capital Ravenna on the other side, the sky still looks extremely gloomy.

Starting with Wittig, the leader of the Frontier Corps, making a fuss in the court, some tacit understandings behind the scenes were suddenly detonated.

In this case, the territory ruled by Elmrich was quickly swept by chaos.

And because of this pressure, coupled with the fact that the Grimes area can already be said to be in the center of chaos.

Under such circumstances, Elmrich had to make a choice: reappoint the lord.

Because now there was no time for him to reinstall the cronies he had become.

In order to appease the furious people, he finally chose to appoint Walter, who was an illegitimate child, as the new lord of the Grimes region.

While following the legal principles, it also gave the Frontier Legion the opportunity to formally intervene in the struggle.

Maybe Elmrich himself has other ideas, but now he can't help him, because he has to appease the people and express his attitude.

At the same time, the aboveboard appointment of Walter also means throwing out this contradiction.

Everyone knows that the Grimes area is already in chaos.

And in order to ensure their own interests, those people will definitely take action.

But for Walter and the others, these have nothing to do with it.

Because they have taken the most orthodox things into their hands.

"The next step is to take office."

As Walter's friend, Irmin said.

Chapter 34: Self-loathing

At this moment, Wittig and Walter are still in the capital Ravenna.

The place where they lived was a small manor with an independent garden, and this house clearly revealed the importance that Regent Elmrich attached to them—at least on the surface.

But for them, this level of goodwill is not worth caring about at all.

The most important thing for them is that Elmrich has relented.

Because now, the frontier army stationed on the eastern defense line has become an existence that cannot be ignored.

Although it seems ridiculous to say this, in fact, that frontier army has become the only existence that the people trust.

Because when the lords of various places chose to wait and see and Elmrich was powerless, it was this patchwork army that existed as cannon fodder that blocked the rumored extremely ferocious Hungarian warriors who could even drive monsters. Outside the line of defense.

People are sympathetic.

In a situation where life is already full of stress, they will subconsciously react with hatred and alienation to everything around them.
