You and me under the world tree

Especially the recent history of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Most of what she saw and heard were praises, and the life in the Netherlands she experienced could be said to be the real peak.

Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment.

Under the rules established by the wise king, everyone will get as much as they work.

As for those who hold official positions, they have their own talents. Siegfried's recruiting orders and treasure hunting orders initiated by Siegfried have attracted many people.

And with Siegfried in control of the power, there is no such thing as a vegetarian.

The reason is simple, because most of the people were promoted directly from the bottom by Siegfried.

As for those who have a certain status, such as those lords and his courtiers who were loyal to the Hengding family.

Regrettably, they did not intend to serve the Volsung family in that war of restoration.

Because Siegfried's request was very simple: hand over all the power, and let him, the descendant of the Volsung clan, send someone to take over the territory.

The rest will be discussed after the war is over.

And this kind of thing is obviously not acceptable.

Because this kind of request is completely unreasonable in the eyes of those lords and courtiers who are themselves powerful.

When she knew this, Hela didn't know what was going on at first.

Anyway, judging from the written records and descriptions, they seem to be extremely firm.

When she read all the records of the Restoration War that Siegfried experienced, and then looked back, she felt that those so-called lords and nobles were up for sale.

It is estimated that in their eyes, although Siegfried is powerful, his foundation is not stable.

Although he has recruited a group of people, it is wishful thinking to rule the Netherlands.

They should have thought so, so they were waiting for Siegfried to 'recruit' instead of ordering as before.

But what to say?

Probably what kind of king raised what lord and courtiers.

That old guy Legney was an unprofessional fool himself, and those under him were naturally arrogant.

If you become a lord and own a fief, you don't know your real name.

They overestimated their own importance and underestimated Siegfried's power.

They even misjudged the purpose of Siegfried and his teacher, the sage of the Volsung family.

In fact, according to Hodder later, they never thought of keeping these lords in the first place.

And that order and demand is an ultimatum.

If they are really willing to give up the power they have, then Siegfried will not mind letting them have a place in his grand plan.

But after tasting the beauty of power, how are they willing to give up?

Not to mention that the power of those enfeoffed lords is almost arbitrary, no different from that of kings.

Therefore, under this cognitive conflict, they were just uprooted.

Whether it is the territory and power they own, these things that were once sealed off by the Hengding family have been regrouped.

It was under such an environment that the entire Netherlands showed an incredible prosperity.

It recovers from the chaos of war almost as quickly as possible, and then strides forward into the future.

Development seems to have no upper limit at all in general.

This is the Atrium Kingdom that Hela has come into contact with and is gradually recovering from the war.

In fact, Hela didn't really care about the specific details of the Restoration War that lasted for more than a year.

She only cared about what Hodder said before.

"If you said that you did this recently, then before..."

"I wanted to do it before, but I couldn't because not everyone wants to start reforms in this area."

Howard said with a blank face.

No one knows that he once persuaded Siegmund to take all the power in his hands.

Thinking about it carefully, this is probably what every existence that approximates a time traveler should be able to do.

Because of conflicts at the cognitive level, there will always be some degree of change.

What exactly are the specific matters?

Huo De actually can't remember clearly, but he can still clearly judge the helplessness and unwillingness deep in his heart.

Maybe hard to imagine?

The wise man who was full of passion and decided to bring a better life ended up being beaten head-on.

In fact, he had a lot of ideas, but he failed at the beginning, so naturally he would not continue.

Moreover, as the years passed, he clearly realized one thing.

"The so-called slaves are only on the surface. The reality is that human beings live in the prison of the gods, and human beings themselves like to stand on high places, even if they are stepping on the corpses of their compatriots."

The kingdom system with distinct hierarchies is inherently problematic.

After all, no one can guarantee that the next king will be as wise as the last one.

In addition...

"And it's ironic that the chaos created by the frequent wars expected by the gods is actually a shortcut and a ladder for civilians to rise to power."

"..."

Hela didn't continue to answer the conversation, she always felt that it would be dangerous to continue talking like this.

Moreover, she herself gradually became confused.

Obviously it's just human life.

It was obviously just the kind of fragile human being in her eyes.

"Why is it so hard to talk about these things now?"

For a moment, Hela didn't even know what she should say, so she could only express such emotion.

"Obviously humans..."

"Obviously what?"

Then, it was such a question that made her choke.

In front of Huo De, she felt that no matter what, she couldn't express what was in her heart.

Because he has always regarded himself as a human being.

Even vaguely, Hela felt that he was proud of that identity—and this was also a strange place.

"Can I not say it?"

With all kinds of complex emotions intertwined, Hela couldn't help but speak.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Ok."

Feeling bad for no reason, Hela finally let out a long sigh.

That expression looked like he had given up on himself.

"What I mean is, no matter how I feel when I read a book or when I go out to buy things, it's just in your mouth, I feel that human beings are not only... well, limited in strength, but also very complicated."

At this moment, I don't know that it is to take care of Hodder's mood.

Maybe it was because he didn't want the man in front of him to have a bad opinion of her because of these words.

Even, there may be other reasons.

In short, she has tried her best to pick up good words to say.

But at the next moment, the sage of the Volsung family proved what it means to be incomprehensible with facts.

"Just tell the truth. Simply put, human beings are vegetables, and human beings are weak. Corresponding to this weakness is their huge ambition and cold cruelty. They have tasted the sweetness of benefits. I don't know what contentment is."

Just when Hela seemed hesitant to speak, he shook his head with a smile.

He completely crushed her kindness.

"Their will and body are extremely fragile, but they are extremely cruel. They can even abandon family affection for the sake of profit."

"Hodder!"

Good morning everyone_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 23: You see, I am such a person

At this moment, an extremely strange and unique atmosphere spread in the prison of this heaven-sent city.

It's also thanks to them arbitrarily setting up that kind of silent enchantment that no one can detect, completely enveloping the sound inside.

So even if there are still a certain number of prisoners in the prison-most of them are locked up because of various problems.

These include the spies who were once caught, and some corrupt guys.

But these people were imprisoned a long time ago.

In fact, since Dietrich went to war in the north and south and became more and more famous, almost no one dared to work under her.

It is not excluded that there are guys who are still bold and have no moral bottom line.

But after Dietrich gave up continuing the expedition and was stationed in her own city for a long time, those kind of people almost disappeared.

Her political strategy and her attitude have given her a high enough reputation.

Coupled with her decisive character, it is doomed that she will walk the path of 'awe'.

This kind of awe is destined to make the rules she established deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In this case, there may be some petty theft in the city of Godsend, and even the territory she rules.

But there is nothing else like corruption, deceit and the like.

Even, because the recent period happened to be the day when Her Royal Highness the Princess was about to ascend the throne.

Before and after this lively time, there is no one who can't take it too hard to make trouble during this time.

Because being caught must be stricter than before, and maybe even dealt with directly as a typical example.

So no one wants to be in trouble.

But most people who can be locked in prison now have basically no hope.

They reckoned and thought about staying here, but they were still alive or something.

Without any expectations, they don't even pay attention to anything but themselves.

Therefore, almost no one pays attention to the situation of the ordinary prison not far from them, which is obviously an ordinary prison for ordinary mortals.

But in this kind of prison, quite interesting things happened.

Humans themselves lashed out at and mocked their own race, almost pointing their noses at them.

But the frost giant and the goddess of death who were listening were trying their best to say good things.

And even started to scold him before, trying to stop him from continuing.

Also because of this weird atmosphere, the Goddess of Death lost the playful attitude inherited from her father.

"Hodder..."

After a long silence, she spoke again.
