You and me under the world tree

What's more, he is still the hero of the dwarves, isn't he?

Compared with the uncle who hides behind the scenes, he is the hero who has accomplished the great feat of slaying dragons. Even without the status of a prince, he is also the savior of these dwarves.

In short, he should stay and communicate with these dwarves for a while.

Because for him now, the dwarf king who changed his name to 'Alberich' and his people are his most solid backing.

Living here for a period of time is not harmful to him, so the sage left alone, very freely.

Compared with Siegfried, he himself has too many things to do.

It is worth mentioning that Hodder said that there is no need to send it, but Lakin and Siegfried still insist on sending it to the gate of the Gurnita Head ruins.

"This big hole, fill it up when you have time." Looking at the fiery sunset shining in, Huo De said.

"Well, we will start construction at night, and the city will also be renovated."

"I look forward to the brand new...Nibelung Kingdom."

"It will not let you down."

"Okay, send you here." Standing in front of the closed gate, the sage said, "The sun hasn't completely set yet, so I think you should go back."

"It's okay, just wear a helmet for this kind of thing." Having said that, he put the dwarf's tight helmet on his head.

Hodder then glanced at his hands, where a pair of leather gloves had already been worn.

His whole body is tight, and even the gaps are protected by magic.

"Well, this is up to you."

Seeing this, Huo De couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitching wildly.

This is really ready for everything...

But the other party really came to send him with good intentions, so he couldn't say anything.

"Then I'm leaving." He said

With the flash of the rune, the simple yet delicate heavy door slowly opened.

When the flame-like setting sun shone in, he suddenly had such an unreal feeling.

Maybe it was because he remembered that when the dragon was slain, Sur still had the sun shining brightly, or maybe it was because the artificial stars created by the dwarves were so fake.

"You go back first." He said

He stepped out of the gate in such a generous way, and then walked towards the mountains of Gurnita Heide without looking back.

In fact, he was not afraid of being exposed at all, because the road along the way was not easy to walk, and Lakin and Siegfried could not be seen at all from the sky, not to mention there was magic here.

As a heavily guarded dwarven city, even though it has been deserted, magic still protects it.

This kind of protection is mostly reflected in the camouflage, and if you don't come here in person and just peep in the domain of the gods, this layer of camouflage is quite perfect.

Finally, with the sound of 'dong', the gate of the dwarf city was closed again.

Lakin and Siegfried just stared at the simple and heavy door. After a long time, Siegfried spoke slowly:

"To be honest, I don't seem to have seen him take a break."

"Well, that's true. In fact, this is his habit." Hearing this, Lai Jin lowered his head, "His wish is far heavier than yours and mine."

"Is it heavy..."

"I just want to go home, and you..." He looked at Siegfried, as if waiting for his answer.

"I want……"

what do you want?

When the words had reached his lips, Siegfried felt unable to say anything.

As a young man, he still had the idea of ​​becoming a hero in his heart, but it was just an extremely naive idea.

"A heart of stone is not the standard for a hero. At the same time, those who aim at heroes are not qualified to be heroes, because this is putting the cart before the horse."

At this moment, he couldn't help but linger in his ears what Hodder had said.

"Guilt and heartache while being clear about one's position is the standard, because pain can help you clarify that boundary."

The so-called hero is a heavy word after all, and there has never been a specific standard value for this title.

You don't have to do anything to become a hero...

Gradually, Siegfried only felt a flash of enlightenment in his heart and brain.

"The so-called bravery and heroism are not because the blood boils when facing a powerful enemy, but because heroes dare to face their own hearts."

Like Uncle Hodder said...

"With guilt and heartache, you must also clarify your position, because life and life can never be perfect."

When he said this, Siegfried couldn't help but sighed, and his words inevitably made the old dwarf beside him look confused.

What are you talking about?

I'm asking your wish!

But before Lai Jin could say anything more, the guy who had changed the topic finally changed the topic back.

"To be honest, I don't know what kind of person I want to be, maybe a pure fighter, maybe a warrior, or maybe a good king, but I don't want to just stagnate like this."

Having said that, Siegfried clenched his fists.

"I may be a bit ambitious, but I am willing to carry everything on my shoulders: my blood, my identity and the people around me, I am willing to carry these."

With his palms pressed tightly to his chest, he stroked his heart.

"As long as my heart is still beating, as long as I am alive, I will cherish and protect what I have."

His voice was unmistakably firm, and his eyes even sparkled under the artificial starlight.

"Thinking about it, what I want doesn't seem to be anything special."

The warriors in the atrium world and the various kingdoms are eager to be famous and challenge the strong, but Siegfried has no such idea.

But it is precisely because of his character that his will is extremely firm.

"This is my oath."

Seeing Siegfried say such words, Lai Jin felt a little delicate in his heart.

He also has no ambitions, but he is extremely realistic.

But even so, he didn't have any contempt for Siegfried's current remarks.

Even, compared to contempt, he felt a little envious in his heart, because he couldn't say such bold words now.

In this case, although it doesn't sound like a big deal, Lakin is an experienced person after all, and he knows how difficult Siegfried's words are.

"The ideal is good, but now at least learn how to use two swords."

"Understood, I'll practice when I get back."

At least, he doesn't want to let others down, let alone let him shoulder that heavy ideal alone.

"I can't dawdle here either."

[Mission: When a Hero Is Born]

[Mission objective: teach Siegfried to become a real hero (1/1)]

[Task Reward: 50 Free Skill Points, Title: Teacher of the Brave]

"Ok??"

Epilogue One: The Nameless Witch

When the reminder of the mission system flickered in the field of vision, Hodder stood still for a while.

He stood now at the entrance to the mountains, before the 'outer city' that had once been part of Gnita Heide for those humans who would live with the dwarves.

He is still staying in the dungeon now, which is actually not his original intention.

Because the settlement of the dungeon requires conditions, for ordinary dungeons with free team formation, it is usually enough to kill the last boss.

After touching the corpse, when you get home, you can either rub the rune stones and run separately, or go back to the exit and fight again.

But dungeons with special plots that require single-player clearance are not so simple.

Its mechanism is actually similar to "scenario missions". It cannot skip the plot, because it is completely different from the dungeons of various difficulties. Its selling point has never been the boss and equipment, but the plot.

And if he wanted to leave this mission scene, he had to wait for the scene to settle itself, and then he would return to the entrance of the instance.

If you voluntarily leave the field while rubbing rune stones in the middle, then the fun will be great, and if you can’t settle the settlement, it will be considered a failure.

Not to mention replaying, according to the nature of this mission, it is still a question of whether it is possible to replay.

After all, this is not an ordinary dungeon that is repeated repeatedly, it is something about the plot.

But how did this task end like this?

To be honest, Hodder was a little puzzled.

It wasn't the first time he took on this task. The last time he remembered it was when Helji had no clue. He didn't complete this task until Helji and Sigrun got married.

Huo De was just this experience, he thought he wanted to achieve some specific goals.

As a result, after Siegfried completed the feat of killing Fafnir, this task was not completed.

You must know that this is the most brilliant feat of Siegfried in the "Song of the Nibelungen". Although there has never been a positive description, his deeds have never been separated from "Dragon Slaying".

His titles are all 'Siegfried who slays the evil dragon', and his other achievements are not worth mentioning compared to this.

However, even such a move failed to complete this task, which inevitably made Hodder confused.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that this task might have to wait until after Siegfried ascended the throne.

Anyway, this task seems to have to be postponed anyway.

But just when he thought so, the game system suddenly jumped out and said that it had been completed.

"What the hell is this..."

Look at the word 'Completed' next to the task [When a Hero Is Born].

Huo De couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitch, and he even turned his head to glance at the desolate mountains.

Could it be that something happened inside when he hadn't completely left the mission scene?

Should I go back and have a look?

"never mind."

In the end, Hodder didn't think much about it either.

Anyway, the task was completed, so he didn't have to think about it.

He has other things to care about than these.

"When will this task scene be settled?" After walking into the almost ruined outer city, Hodder couldn't help but explore the surrounding environment.

Is this drama over yet?

Just as he was thinking this way, a ray of light shone down from the top of his head.

"Fuck?!"

What is this? !

Before Hodder could curse himself, his field of vision was filled with aurora-like brilliance.

This thing is not a rail gun, is it?

After realizing that he seemed to be hit by an attack from the top of his head, Hodder couldn't help but look directly at his blood bar.

He didn't feel any impact, and his health bar didn't show any sign of decreasing.

In other words, this is not actually an attack.

what is that?

Stop being a drama again, right?

Thinking of this, Hodder couldn't help but feel a little powerless.
