You and me under the world tree

Many people can't accept it, the reason is very simple, dwarves are an extremely long-lived race, their life span is even second only to giants and gods.

Many of them came to the human world with Hreidmar, and they miss their hometown deeply.

"But, it's true..."

Chapter 76: We are the Nibelungs!

"This is the truth." Facing those unbelievable compatriots, Lai Jin said.

"In the past, we thought we were very important, because we acted as a bridge between the dwarf world and the human world, and we guarded the only portal between the worlds."

Accompanied by Lakin's extremely simple words, the dwarves were meditating, and their thoughts seemed to go back to the past.

Prosperous Ganita Hyde...

"We are extremely important to human beings. We build good weapons and armor for them. This kind of transaction makes our existence extremely important. Even though our location is in the most desolate place in the west, they still come here especially."

That's right, that was the pinnacle of the dwarf kingdom, and the dwarves at that time were extremely powerful.

Though the Dwarves had always dwelt in the Western Mountains by the orders of King Hreidmar, they held a very high position.

"But later, everything changed. The humans in the atrium world continued to learn during the war. They had their own blacksmiths and their own construction techniques."

Perhaps at the beginning, Lai Jin just wanted to use some reasons to explain the tragic situation of the current Ganita Heide Kingdom, but when the words were slowly uttered, he began to feel chest tightness.

Because he feels that these things seem to be connected in series...

"From the very beginning, this has been a slow suicide. Although my father...our king Hreidmar has anticipated this, he strictly controls the quality of the weapons produced and set a basic standard, but , which does nothing to prevent our decline."

He watched his people.

"I have been wandering abroad for a hundred years, and I have seen the systems of various human countries. They are quite..." He paused for a while, scanning the dwarves.

Unexpectedly, the faces of these dwarves showed anger.

Although the status of dwarves in the Nine Realms has always been very low, being captured and kidnapped all day long, mixed-race dwarves are even more discriminated against.

But this does not mean that dwarves will think that they are inferior, there is no servility in their bones, and they will never admit that they are inferior to others.

Not to mention the system...

How long have humans been around?

How long have dwarves existed?

"You probably misunderstood. I never meant to praise these human country systems. There is no doubt that they are quite stupid, but their country still exists."

Having said that, Lai Jin could not help but take a deep breath.

"Even the former war tooth king Harald, after his death, the huge Denmark fell into a civil war, but after the fight, the situation seems to have returned to the previous period, even the peak of the Volsunger clan Times are no exception."

Denmark, Norway, Gitland (Sweden), Gothic, Netherlands, Burgundy and one overseas Iceland.

"The names of these kingdoms may change, but after so many years, the number of these countries is like a miracle. Even though they are sometimes very stupid, and they were even beaten into the capital by others, they still exist. Do you know why? "

No one had a voice, maybe some of them had thought of the reason, but they didn't speak, they just stared at their highness the prince.

Lai Jin would not hold their appetite, he quickly said that sentence:

"Because their existence is necessary. We Ganita Hyde have been doing business with various human kingdoms for so long. I think most people understand their set of traditions."

Human beings conquer each other, and those who fight bravely will be eligible to go to the domain of the gods to live with the gods, and the best ones are even more eligible to enter the legendary Valhalla.

"After all, the gods need humans to fight each other. War is their only means, and we are nothing but ants."

So, our disappearance won't attract anyone's attention.

"However, Eveldi has a contract with the Great God..."

"Because of the contract, the king of dwarves never intervenes in the affairs of the court, even if we die by accident."

what does this mean?

Meaning Gnita Hyde has had to live by the faces of the gods all along...

Finally, he took a deep breath.

"That's why I said at the beginning that we were abandoned. The king of our dwarves strictly abided by the contract with the Great God, so we were abandoned."

"Lakin..." Seeing those dwarves lower their heads, Lovehead couldn't help looking at his brother.

As the two youngest daughters in the family, they are actually used to relying on other people. After all, they are the youngest children in the family.

So when the elder brother showed a slightly unfamiliar side, they would feel a little panicked.

Originally, she just thought that her brother came back to restore the country, and her little mind could only hold these things.

"I'm fine." Lakin said, glancing back at his two younger sisters, "I must make them give up that unrealistic fantasy."

yes, fantasy...

They have been given up by Ivaldi, if not for Fafnir and Hreidmar's plans, they would probably have to be buried with the gods' 'be careful'.

However, Lakin would not make these things very clear, he just needed to make these dwarves realize the fact that they were 'homeless'.

"I won't stop you. If you want to find a way to return to Walter Alheim, please feel free to do so. The facilities in Ganita Heide haven't changed much. It's okay to pack your bags and leave. If you want to stay, we can form a A new...kingdom."

The dwarves, who were still a little hesitant, couldn't help being stunned when they heard the second option given by Lakin.

"We are not dependent on anyone, we are only on ourselves, and we will support each other to find our own footing."

Having said that, Lai Jin clenched his fists.

"Starting today, I declare in the name of the second prince of Gurnita Heide... the heir to the kingdom, Gurnita Heide is now dead! We will have a new name!"

"Nibelung, and we shall call ourselves Niebelungen!"

"We are the forgotten dead. We have been wandering here for a hundred years without anyone knowing, and the clansmen have never even come to look for us!" He roared loudly, "Then, let us be completely independent!"

"No one will remember us, but we must live!"

Then, there was some silence.

When Lai Jin shouted such words, the dwarves in the treasure house all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"In 100 years, many things can be changed."

"If the king of the dwarves has really abandoned us, then we don't have to wait here."

"Please lead us, Your Highness Laijin!"

At first there were only a few people, but soon, the voices belonging to the dwarves resounded in the treasure house.

"Lakin! Lakin! Lakin!"

"No, don't call me by this name. I have nothing. The name Regin once belonged to a wanderer who wanted to return home, but now, he has returned here, and his 'last wish' has been fulfilled."

"Since we have nothing but these treasures, my name is... Alberich!"

White

Elves

rich

rich

The name is full of self-deprecating meaning

"Lakin..."

Chapter 77: I don't like...

Lakin's speech could not be described as gorgeous, but it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, because he still possessed his own prestige.

He is the second prince of Genita Heide, and he usually has a certain prestige.

In addition, he has wandered abroad for a hundred years as a pure-blooded dwarf in order to find a way to save the kingdom and slay the evil dragon. This incident has added a lot of prestige to him.

As for the details, no one cares, neither Hodder nor Siegfried will mention this too much.

For them, Lakin's return home was more important than anything else.

However, as the party involved in the dragon slaying, Siegfried was quickly dragged out by Lai Jin, and he emphasized the status of "adopted son".

Therefore, in addition to his identity as the descendant of Volsunger and the appointed prince of the Netherlands, he has an additional layer of "Prince of the Nibelungen" for no reason.

Of course, Siegfried didn't know the customs of the dwarves, but he didn't know the attitude of this race towards humans. He only knew that the dwarves were very enthusiastic about him.

Moreover, this race seemed to be more bold and unrestrained than humans. When Lai Jin signaled the end of the speech, the dwarves enthusiastically took out drinks to entertain him.

Standing out from the crowd, this word is obviously quite appropriate for the current Siegfried.

Because he is standing among a bunch of dwarves now, he looks much taller than those dwarves, but the surrounding dwarves have been toasting him, regardless of gender.

He was a little at a loss, but when he subconsciously turned his eyes to other people for help, he found that their attention was on other places.

Like Howard...

Although the man in the battle armor was extremely tall compared to a dwarf, he was obviously not as 'popular' as Siegfried.

But because of this, he has full freedom.

Although the treasure house became a dwarf's tavern in an instant, and noisy voices were everywhere, at least at this moment, these voices seemed to have nothing to do with Hodder.

He was just walking around, although it looked like he was walking casually, but Siegfried knew that he was actually looking for something.

But what exactly is he looking for?

Regarding this, Siegfried was a little confused. He just looked in the direction Hodder was walking, but he didn't find anything special.

In terms of observation, Siegfried does have a little weakness.

But it was also related to the environment, he was surrounded by those dwarves.

"Mr. Siegfried...no, Your Highness, I salute you...hiccup." A dwarf said while pulling the hem of his clothes.

He held up his wine glass, but his footsteps didn't look very steady.

he's drunk……

However, according to the peculiar customs of the dwarves, it seems impolite to persuade others to drink less.

Directly telling people to drink less can easily irritate these natural alcoholics, so find a more tactful form.

"You look unsteady."

"Who said, how can my old Ed be so unstable!" After their human prince said that, the real old dwarf couldn't help shouting.

The voices of the dwarves were always sharp, and when they let go of their voices to howl, Siegfried felt his ears hurt.

But, to be honest, he didn't hate it either...

"My people always like to be lively." Just as Siegfried looked around, he heard Lakin's voice.

Looking down, he was still wearing the worn-looking clothes, but there was a hint of relief on his face.This expression was never seen before.

Even though the journey home was extremely difficult and dangerous, even on the way, his adoptive father gave up for a while and only decided to continue wandering outside.

But in any case, the feeling of finally coming home is different.

Lakin...or Alberich, the expression on his face at this moment is a kind of peace of mind and comfort only when he returns home.

Even though Ganita Heide was destroyed, it could be seen from his expression that he was still deeply proud of his people, his family, and his homeland.

"I like the excitement too." Facing Lakin's gaze, Siegfried said, "But..."

"But what?"

"Look at Uncle."

Siegfried didn't know what to say, he finally just motioned the dwarf king who had just enthroned to look in other directions.

In the corner where the dwarves were celebrating, the man in the battle armor walked, he looked down-to-earth, but miraculously did not touch anyone.

Lightness and massiness, these two qualities should be diametrically opposed, but they were perfectly reconciled in that warrior.

Huo De was wearing armor as always, he wandered in the treasure house, and did not reach out to those treasures.

He carefully avoided the drunken dwarves who might bump into him, his eyes fixed on the entire impromptu banquet.

"I thought, did you notice?"

Just as Hodder was looking around, he heard Lakin's voice.
