You and me under the world tree

Then, he nodded slowly.

"I'm not paying attention, I just want to verify my guess." He said, "Even if it's just futile."

Then, there was a silence.

When the dwarves were making noise, there seemed to be a somewhat depressing atmosphere around Hodder.

After a long time, Hodder continued to speak:

"There are drinks and food here, and these things are all part of the treasure."

As a player who has fully filled the rune magic and obtained the title of 'Rune Master', Huo De was investigating the traces of magic in the room before.

What makes him feel very interesting is that the food, drinks and utensils in the hands of the dwarves are all part of the 'treasure'.

"Actually, it's hard for me to imagine who would consider these things as part of the 'collection'."

Having said that, Huo De held up a piece of bread in his hand, and with the brilliance of the runes flashing, the bitten piece of bread was instantly stained with a layer of gold.

This is not difficult in rune magic. Compared with cursing a dwarf with tens of thousands of people, it is easy to turn things like bread, plates, and wine glasses into gold.

But this kind of thing is useless, it can't be turned into gold coins in the player's bag, it can only become garbage occupying the backpack space.

"Do you think this kind of thing looks good?" Holder raised the bread that had been turned into gold in his hand, and Hodder asked.

This question is simply too much to ask...

At this moment, Lai Jin couldn't help shaking his head.

"Stupid stuff."

"Yes, but at this moment, no one is willing to get to the bottom of it. Maybe it's because after becoming an evil dragon, he likes to seek strange things?"

"Hodder..."

"I don't like 'Nibelungen'."

"But... there is no way."

"Yes."

After all, it wasn't the celebratory atmosphere that Hodder hated, but that he knew the truth.

It was based on someone's sacrifice, but that person's sacrifice is not destined to be remembered.

"Let's find a quieter place later." Lakin said, "Go to my room and the furnace. We have a lot to talk about."

Chapter 78: Beyond the Nine Realms

Fafnir once did one thing. He used his own magic—second only to the magic of his father Hreidmar and his younger brother Otter—to curse his people into gold, and stuffed them into a collection. In the treasure house.

It was a brutal act, and all the dwarves, including his two sisters, remembered the madness of that time.

Lovehead

Lenchhead

Compared with other people, for them, the impact caused by this contrast is the biggest.

But for various reasons, they didn't get to the bottom of it: Fafnir brought in other things besides them.

For example, various living utensils, such as various foods...

Maybe other people are unwilling to delve into it, and even regard them as one of the evil tastes of the evil dragon.

But there are still some people in Hodder who know the truth can understand that this is actually a guarantee made by Fafnir.

The treasure house can only be opened from the outside, which means that after the evil dragon is killed, if the warriors outside do not have Laijin to lead the way, they will spend a lot of time in the labyrinth of the palace.

In this case, the person inside must have a long time, and these foods are used to cope with this process.

In addition, when outsiders rescue the people here, these foods can also be used as 'dry food'.

After these dwarves who have been 'cursed' into gold are restored, whether they want to leave this place or rebuild the entire Gurnita Hyde, these food are indispensable.

However, this kind of thing can only be known after deep thinking, or even redefining Fafnir.

Otherwise, if you have preconceptions and think that Fafnir has lost his mind because he has become an evil dragon, these things can only become the deepest secrets.

Perhaps, this is the best way Fafnir can think of.

Staring at the fireless furnace, Hodder didn't say a word, he looked like a sculpture, the only difference from the armor on the edge of the furnace was his movements.

Also, he didn't wear a helmet, showing his head.

In fact, he is the only one here now, because he slipped out of the treasure house alone while the banquet was still lively.

In fact, he doesn't like the lively atmosphere very much, whether it is in reality or in the game.

Compared to these, he prefers to sit quietly on the side without being disturbed by others, so that he can do his own thing.

Whether it's reading, playing games, or staring in a daze...

But in the end, this silence was broken, and another person walked into the blacksmith shop.

Lakin...

"What about those people?"

"Most of them are drunk, and the rest are still drinking." Lakin said, "But to be honest, it was the first time I realized that Siegfried could drink so much, and now he is blocking me."

His white to bluish face was also rosy at this moment, and he looked like he had drunk a lot, but now he seemed to be able to talk obviously, not to the point of gibberish or unconsciousness.

"Then how are you?"

"I'm okay." Lai Jin said after finding a place to sit down.

But his head kept falling off there, and it looked as if he was about to fall over.

And at this time, when he spoke, his tongue seemed to be knotted, and his mind was obviously not clear.

"I actually suggest you wake up," he said.

At the same time, he took out a glass of water from the inventory.

Of course, this was not for Lai Jin to drink. In fact, he felt a little thirsty, so he drank tons of clear water all by himself.

At this time, Lai Jin also felt that Hodder's words were very reasonable, so at the next moment, he patted his face with both hands.

With the flash of the rune, the spiritual spell from the eighth rune acted on him.

Soon, the drunkenness lingering in his mind dissipated.

"Wait a minute, I'll get a glass of water."

After waking up, he ran all the way back to his room, and returned all the way after drinking the clear water.

"Okay, let's talk about something serious." He said, "First of all, the means of tempering the soul as a material into a weapon comes from a foreign land beyond the Nine Realms."

"I know about this, you don't need to repeat it." Hearing Lakin mention this again, Hodder reminded.

"You have a strong ability to accept." Seeing Huo De's calm look, Lai Jin couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Maybe it's because you are a fighter and have a stronger heart."

Regarding this point, Hodder did not deny anything, anyway, what he said was what he said, and what he refuted or guided was prone to accidents.

But in the face of Hodder's silence, the dwarf didn't care about anything, he just continued talking.

"For us, Uktrasir and those nine worlds are everything. We have been born and raised here for generations."

"Yuktra Hill is but a tree growing from Ymir's corpse."

"But what about the Kimlunga Divide?"

Then, Hodder was blocked by such a sentence, and he was still speechless.

Yes, if Uktra Hill is just a giant tree growing from the corpse of the ancestor giant Ymir, then what about the Jinlunga gap that existed from the beginning?

In the mythology, it was a huge abyss that existed from the very beginning, and there were also the ice-mist country Niflheim and the barren country Muspelheim, which were bounded by the Kinlunga Chasm.

These things are equivalent to the "basic settings" in a myth and legend. There is no reason for their existence, they just exist.

Not only Lakin, who was a dwarf, couldn't explain it, even Hodder couldn't explain it clearly, so he didn't mention it.

"I'm not trying to deny anything, Hodder, my father wouldn't lie about that."

Fortunately, he trusted his father more than his own common sense, so this conversation could go on.

"I'm just a little inexplicably terrified. We... well, as a dwarf, I am already small enough in the Nine Realms. Now I know that there are other people outside the Nine Realms..."

He didn't speak much, but Hodder could feel the frustration in his tone, so his expression couldn't help being a little subtle.

"Let's put it another way, Lakin. If Uktrasil is not unique, then it means that the gods are not unique, and they are not masters."

"Maybe, it's just that I'm a little scared and nervous. Compared with the entire Nine Realms and Uktrasir, compared with the giants of Jotunheim, the Aesir and the gods of Warner, I have nothing to do with that place. You know, the place called... Erin and Albion."

Having said that, Lai Jin couldn't help covering his face.

"Have you heard of those two places? And that guy called...Gwyn."

"I think I've probably heard..."

"??"

Chapter 79: Journey to the North

According to Hreidmar's last message, the method of tempering the soul was not inherited by the dwarves, but brought by an unnamed guy outside the Nine Realms.

Of course, that person is definitely not Go Wannan. As a god, he seems to have important responsibilities. Go Wannan will not run around anyway.

Even Hreidmar himself didn't know the details of that person, but they did exchange smelting techniques.

However, these are actually not that important in comparison, what is important is the specific source.

And for this kind of thing, Lai Jin didn't expect anything at all.

Although he was not too old, he could only be regarded as a young man among the dwarves, but no matter what, he had hundreds of years of experience.

During the years he spent, he had never heard of this place, but what did the man in front of him say?

"you have heard?"

"Hmm." Facing Lakin's ghost-like eyes, Huo De nodded slowly.

But in fact, he is not sure here, because he is not sure about the relationship between the myths.

Until now, he is still lamenting the huge appetite of World Tree Company.

It took two years to update a major version. If we continue at this pace, we don’t know how long it will take to finish the scattered legends of the Nordic series of heroes.

As a result, in this situation, he dared to get involved in other myths?

But it's okay to think about it carefully, after all, most of the current games are considering the back road.

Especially for online games, stand-alone games can spend a lot of time building a new and grand world view, and they can spend several years polishing it.

But online games that focus on social interaction are not good. Its version update must be very fast, and it cannot be a "new year product", but at least it must have some new tricks.

The mythical background is an excellent theme for "Nine Realms", which ensures that this game has rich material.

But at the same time, this background is also a shackle, because sooner or later it will consume all the 'material'.

Therefore, it is natural to look for a way out.

"Where did you hear that?"

But before Hodder could feel his emotions, Lakin opened his mouth and dragged him out of the player's thoughts.

This question is actually very simple, but Huo De himself can not express very sure, after all, he just 'heard'.

"Perhaps...Denmark?"

"What happened to that kingdom?"

"Hundreds of years ago, the ancient king Harald, there are legends that he left Midgard and expanded his territory to other places."

But after saying this, Hodder didn't continue talking.

"But I've only heard about it, and I don't know the specifics."

"War Tooth Harald, Denmark is still using his name as the royal city."

"Yes, the former king of ancient Denmark is only one step away from the Unified Atrium...but I don't know what's going on."

After all, for Hodder, that is something that exists in the 'background', and for the characters in "Nine Realms", that is also 'history'.
