You and me under the world tree

"You know, right? Actually, I have a child named Asuraki, I picked it up."

"..."

Gradually, a bad feeling spread deep in Siegfried's heart.

"You're not going to throw it at me, are you? I'm not married yet."

"No, just claim that I picked it up."

Good morning everyone

Epilogue [-]: The Ring of the Dwarves

The Netherlands is peaceful.

Because the advantages brought about by the previous tax exemption and tax reduction policies are still maintained, even though the tax collection strategy has been restored now, the people are still living smoothly and comfortably.

War or something, this kind of thing seems to be an extremely distant thing for them.

The words they can hear about 'war' every day are also related to things outside, and these are what they heard in the tavern.

Their day-to-day life seems to have been completely fixed.

After a day's work, people from all over the place head to the local tavern, or simply take a nap in the square.

They exchanged a day's simple life, or other experiences.

Even pass some gossip about small incidents.

Even these small rumors have no substantive evidence.

But it doesn't matter, the people themselves don't need evidence.

They just hope that after a day of hard work, there is something that can arouse their interest.

Everyone have a good time.

And today there are indeed such rumors.

"Hey, what did you hear?"

In the brightly lit Wangcheng Square, people suddenly started whispering.

"what?"

"This is a secret, I told you, don't tell others."

"Today, I saw Your Excellency the Sage."

"Your Excellency the Sage? Which Your Excellency the Sage?"

After hearing what his friend said, he couldn't help showing a puzzled look.

It looked a little dazed, and didn't have any associations in the first place.

And this made his friend angry.

"Boom"

He punched his friend on the head.

"Ouch, why did you hit me!"

"You don't have a long memory, you don't even remember who brought us this life."

"It's His Majesty the King."

"But what about the man who raised His Majesty the King?"

"Of course it is..."

Then, the sound stopped abruptly.

"Which one are you talking about?!"

He couldn't help raising his voice.

And this can't help but attract the attention of others.

"what happened?"

"No, nothing."

Seeing that he couldn't hold his breath, the friend covered him, and then began to laugh apologetically.

"Why are you so loud!"

And he also knew that his voice was a little loud, so he couldn't help covering his mouth.

But soon, he shook his head again.

"No, it's just... I don't think the kind of thing you said is possible. After all, he is that one. He has always been extremely mysterious, and he can even be called elusive."

These are two completely different attitudes and feelings.

When it comes to Siegfried, their attitude is one of respect and love.

Because His Majesty the king has always followed the line of being close to the people, and often shows up in the city.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people, His Majesty the King is a powerful and kind person.

They can feel the gap in status, but they don't have much sense of distance, and every political strategy he promulgates convinces the people wholeheartedly.

However, the sage-sama is completely different.

People are actually very strange to him, and the reason why they know his existence is because of one deed after another.

Of course, as an elder who raised Siegfried and raised him into an excellent king, he should be respected by the people.

However, this respect and Siegfried's attitude are two different things.

For this sage, the people are more in awe.

Because he is too far away, not only does he not show up often, causing the public to know nothing about him.

And it is natural to have fear of this unknown power.

They subconsciously think that this kind of person is far away from their lives.

"How could you have seen him?"

"How could I not see it? You can ask the guards at the gate of the city today. They saw it with their own eyes, and the sage who has been alone all this time brought a child back."

"Child?! He has a child?!"

"Don't know, but I saw him come back with the baby."

And this alone can arouse the infinite reverie of others.

"Don't tell anyone."

"Well, sure, I'm very strict with my mouth."

Of course, in fact, most people who make such a guarantee cannot do it.

So soon, a certain message spread.

"The sage brought back a child?"

"That sage had a child outside?"

"No, I heard that it is the illegitimate son of His Majesty the King..."

That's what rumors are about.

The more it spread, the less confidence it had, but it also became more and more mysterious. In the end, no one knew what happened.

But it doesn't matter, because just a few days later, His Majesty the King gave a statement.

Sage adopted a homeless child and included him in the Volsung family tree.

This is the final answer, and it is also the revealed truth.

And this child's status is equivalent to that of Her Royal Highness Princess of the kingdom.

"Ashraki..."

Looking at the girl sleeping soundly on the bed, Siegfried felt a little intimacy in his heart for no reason.

"Speaking of which, if I have a child with Hilda, I really want to give this name to my child."

Even he himself didn't know why, but now there was a pity in his heart.

At the same time, what he felt was deep embarrassment.

"I'm not married yet, why are there two extra children in the palace?"

But such complaints were not heard, not even by the maids.

As for Howard, he wished he could laugh outright.

What is this called?

Good and evil pay off?

No, what should it be called?

He didn't know, anyway, he felt quite happy, because it was equivalent to finding a new home.

Going around, Asraki, who belonged to the previous era, returned to Siegfried, who corresponds to Sigurd in this era.

And now, Hodder, who was completely freed from the drudgery of raising children, had come to the palace of the underground world.

From the moment he proposed to use magic for invention and research, the dwarves of the Nibelung Kingdom who opened the door to the new world worked in a set way.

They are not only committed to expanding the scale of the underground city group, but also laying various railways.

Perhaps others would not have thought that several city-level shelters had already been built underground in Burgundy and the Netherlands.

He even built a submarine to go to the northern seas through deep-sea diving mode.

But these have nothing to do with Hodder now, because he visited the new building of the dwarves like a horse, and then came to the palace where his friend was.

"Oh! Howard! What! Did you come to drink with me?"

When he entered the hall, the first thing he saw was that cheerful 'old guy'.

Alberich, king of the Nibelung.

"No, I brought you something that I've been watching to make sure there's nothing messy about it."

"what?"

Just when Alberich was inquiring, he saw something drawing a beautiful arc.

That's the ring.

At this moment, Alberich seemed to realize something, and his expression became serious.

"this is……"

On the ring, the name is extremely conspicuous.

Laurin.

"This ring is..."
