You and me under the world tree

Gazing at this old man who was like her elder, Dietrich's originally solemn expression softened a bit.

But soon, she regained that coldness and seriousness again.

"Your Majesty!"

she said suddenly.

And Hiltebrand knelt on the ground again, and then she pulled out the undefeated magic sword Arius stuck in the ground.

Then, she gently took out her whistling magic sword, and then put the magic sword on the old hero's shoulder.

"Master of Arms Hiltebrand, I officially appoint you as the commander of the Gothic army. You will be the benchmark and idol of the Gothic warriors, and all of them will work hard for your goal."

The triumphant king said aloud:

"If the kingdom encounters a huge disaster, you will have the right to mobilize any legion in the kingdom to turn the tide! You will always represent the will of the Ameri Longen clan! And this is the token!"

'clang'

With the sound of metal, a sword stabbed firmly into the ground.

Good morning everyone

Chapter 29: Treat it as your own

Accompanied by the sound of the sharp sword piercing the ground, the metallic sound lingered for a long time.

Even, because of the magic of loudspeaker, the lords at close range even felt their ears buzzing.

The sound is quite harsh, so some people even feel dizzy.

Even if Hiltebrand has experienced many battles, it is the same.

However, he didn't shake, let alone fall down.

At this moment, he just listened to the voice gradually receding from his ear, and finally raised his head.

Then, what caught his eyes was a saber that made him feel familiar.

To be honest, it's not that flashy.

Because this is not a ceremonial sword in the first place, it was originally a weapon for self-defense.

Yes, the sword is that man's weapon.

It was Dittmar's sword when he was young.

Hiltebrand even clearly remembered that at that time, he personally killed a powerful official who dared to disobey him in the court with this sword.

Since then, he began to use an iron fist to clean up the road of hegemony in the court.

It symbolizes that period of hardship and helplessness.

As the king of a kingdom that is almost torn apart, unify the whole kingdom from a state of almost no confidants and nothing, and make all the lords submit.

There is even the ability to fight other kingdoms.

The process is undeniably dark.

The struggle for power has never been that simple, and not everyone can be domineering while raising their arms, and make people bow down.

struggle.

Game.

conspiracy.

Most of the time, the brilliance of blood is not reflected in the bright battlefield, but in the darkness under the brilliance.

This sword symbolizes that era.

The era when they worked together and struggled together.

Looking at the flying eagle pattern engraved on the head of the sword, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling deep in his heart.

There seemed to be something spinning in the eye socket.

"His Majesty……"

He looked up.

Under the sun, the white hair was flying.

In the shadows, the scarlet eyes seemed to emit a strange look.

That brilliance directly disturbed Hiltebrand's spirit that should have been incomparably firm.

His thoughts could not help being taken to the far side.

At this moment, he felt as if he had crossed time and space.

Time seems to have leaped forward for almost 50 years, and he has spanned nearly half of the kingdom.

At this moment, he felt that he was not in the 'new' god-given city of Beian, but in the ancient capital of the Gothic king.

The birthplace of the Armerungen family: Ravenna.

And what stood in front of him might not be the new triumphant king, but the former Gothic lord, a pale eagle soaring with wings spread out, and a silver-white ram galloping across the land.

It seemed to be the same at that time.

It seemed to be a similar situation when the Pale Eagle unified the kingdom and appointed him as right-hand man.

"Dietmar..."

Just staring at those scarlet eyes, he suddenly called out in a low voice.

The sound is very small, but no one can hear it.

Except Dietrich who is close at hand.

It was her father's name, and it was impossible for her to have no reaction.

In fact, she pursed her lips when the word started ringing in her ears.

As smart as she is, of course she can understand that the old warrior who is kneeling on the ground and jumping over the edge of her sword is watching her, the warrior who has sweated for Goth for decades and confessed his youth here It's not her new triumphant king.

At this moment, her dead father was watching the old hero.

He may not be considered loyal to the kingdom of Goth, but he can dedicate everything to his former friend.

However, those people and those things are gone after all.

Although Dietrich didn't wake up the old hero who seemed to be remembering, he did wake up himself.

The thoughts are over, and everything seems to return to reality.

Hiltebrand.

As a master of weapons, he has a wise and astute mind after all.

How could he be a reckless man who only knew how to wield a sword when he could be entrusted to his child by the former old king?

Of course, he has his own wisdom, as well as a firm spirit and will.

He really wanted to stay in the illusion of 'misidentification'.

But he knew he had to wake up.

Because now is the most important moment for that child, and he can't just stop there.

"Sorry, kid."

There is no such prominent but distant word as 'Your Majesty' anymore. At this moment, he is only saying these words as a private elder.

"I was just a little... confused."

After a moment of silence, he spoke.

"Sometimes when people are old, they always like to miss the past."

"Get a wife, better have a baby."

In fact, Dietrich was kind.

From her point of view, she doesn't want her teacher to be alone until the end.

However, she didn't understand some things.

Some people don't like being alone, but sometimes they have to.

"Let's forget about that."

Hiltebrand said in a low voice.

He just stretched out his hand slowly, first pulled out the invincible magic sword Arius that he had inserted on the ground before, and retracted the magic sword into the scabbard.

Then, he reached out and touched the simple eagle-patterned war sword, and after gently pulling it out, he turned it around and looked at the other side.

One side is an eagle pattern, but the other side is a ram pattern.

The sword had obviously been modified with some extraordinary power, but he didn't care about it. ,

Because he knows that the texture of the ram can highlight its value even more.

For among the Goths, among the Amerungians, it was Dittmar who was the first to incorporate the ram into the royal adornment.

This can be said to be his personal label.

"Once upon a time, I received a prophetic revelation."

Hiltebrand said in a low voice.

"The prophecy advised me that it would be better not to have any offspring."

"why?"

"The prophecy shows that I may eventually fight my child for various reasons, and even kill him by mistake."

"..."

After hearing Hiltebrand's calm words, Dietrich's calm face suddenly showed signs of collapse.

However, because of Hiltebrand's obstruction, no one saw this.

"why?"

"There's no reason, it's just my experience when I was young."

Hiltebrand smiled.

"This kind of thing is actually nothing to me, and I don't take it to heart. To me, it's just going with the flow."

"but……"

"If I insist on specific reasons, it might be because I haven't met any girl I like, but it doesn't matter. Although I have regrets when I was young in my life, I am quite satisfied after meeting your father. "

At this moment, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to the triumphant king.

He patted her head as if facing a junior.

However, he stopped.

Because he knew that now she was the king.

He cannot do anything that would detract from the dignity of the king.

"I have always regarded you as my child."

Chapter 30: King and Warrior in One

Gothic weapon master Hiltbrand.

Throughout his life, it can actually be described as ups and downs.

Although he was never 'favored' like the Skywrath clan in the Netherland next door, he also has his own legend.
