You and me under the world tree

He was from the Kingdom of Gitland, and it was a time of chaos.

The inflated father and the so-called queen he married are simply not doing anything.

Wage war only for yourself.

In this case, as an illegitimate child, his heart is naturally full of disgust.

He even disliked the attitude of his father and others towards the blacksmith.

He made friends with the blacksmith with his younger brother Otwal and his younger sister Bordwell, who were also illegitimate children and whose mother had no title, and the younger sister even fell in love with the blacksmith.

In fact, the blacksmith himself was not malicious.

The young Hiltebrand also knew the inside story, and the blacksmith Wieland himself should have been able to escape alone.

However, he himself stayed for the token of his lover.

That pair of rings.

It is said that the blacksmith had been waiting for his lover.

But his father did not know how to obtain the ring that should have been the Valkyrie, and then broke through the barrier of seclusion, entered the wolf valley and captured him.

And because of the existence of the ring, this also made him cast his own weapon, and since then stayed in Gitland to build weapons.

But no matter from what point of view, Wieland should not have been treated like this.

But at that time, Hiltebrand still had such a glimmer of hope.

The original Hiltebrand thought that when Gitland won the war and when his cruel father was happy, maybe Wieland would be free.

The young man did think so.

However, his friend, the captured blacksmith Wieland, had his hamstrings broken suddenly one day, and was even given some kind of poison, which made his hands and feet unable to fully function even with magic. cure.

Not only is it very difficult for him to walk like this, but even his hands are not as sensitive as before.

As for the reason, Hiltebrand only found out after inquiring about it himself. It was because his friend had forged a powerful sword, which was Mimonger.

It was a blade far more powerful than the invincible sword Arius on his body.

But his incompetent and cruel father was afraid that he would forge a weapon stronger than Mimonger, and in order to keep him in Gitland forever, he committed such a great evil.

If before, Wieland just wanted to get back the pair of rings that symbolized marriage, but now he can't even act conveniently.

And under such circumstances, the young and vigorous he really couldn't bear to see this situation continue.

He planned an 'escape' together.

Together with his brothers and sisters, he first helped Wieland steal the ring, then collected feathers for his elf friend, and under his guidance made a feather coat that could glide in the air.

Then, he used the blood bag to create the illusion of death for him:

Hiltebrand, prince of Gitland, shot and killed the escaped elf blacksmith Wieland with an arrow.

It was supposed to end like this.

However, he underestimated the hatred deep in his friend's heart.

He actually hated the Gitland royal family.

The elf Wieland would never frame his friends, he even wanted to help them.

Therefore, the two legitimate sons of King Niddard who imprisoned him died unexpectedly.

Their skulls were even made into wine glasses and presented to queens and kings.

These are all things Wieland himself preaches loudly.

And at that moment, Hiltebrand was burdened with an emotion called 'guilt'.

If that's the case, that's all. More importantly, the originally stable battlefield situation has also reversed.

The Kingdom of Norway, which had been under pressure, suddenly showed unprecedented bravery on the battlefield.

The Twelve Angentier Brothers were born out of nowhere, directly repelling Gitland.

All kinds of powerful magic weapons seem to be unable to reverse this gap in strength.

And this sudden disparity made the seemingly invincible king Nedard ill.

He had to choose an heir.

However, Hiltebrand chose to escape.

Difficult at both ends, he finally left his homeland and gave up his right of inheritance.

He didn't feel like he could get the throne that way, he didn't feel like he was entitled to that.

He felt that he was the one who caused everything, and under many contradictions, he came to the dangerous Gothic Kingdom.

To say something unpleasant, he actually came to seek death.

And he traveled thousands of miles to Gothic with one purpose: he wanted an honorable death in battle.

For him as a soldier, this is the best consolation.

He heard that there was an extremely rampant giant underground city in the Jura Mountains, so he wanted to go there to fight against the giants.

In fact, he didn't know whether he could succeed in the crusade with his own strength and martial arts after leaving the invincible magic sword Arius.

But it doesn't matter, he was going to seek death, even if he died in the giant's underground kingdom.

He thought so.

However, he was stopped.

Just when he successfully found the underground entrance to the extremely hidden giant kingdom in the mountains, a man stopped him.

"People have gone through so much in this world, and more than ten years are but a snap of the fingers, so why rush to die? Open your eyes and look at this world. In fact, there are many beautiful things. If you really die like this, you will feel The only people who will be sad will be your friends and family."

That was the first time he met that man.

But thinking about it now, he would never have imagined at that time that he met the person he regarded as an idol back then.

When he was still young, about seven or eight years old, news of the restoration of the Netherlands came from the Netherlands.

At the same time, there are reverberating legends belonging to Siegmund, the warrior of all armies, Simfiotley, the born mad warrior, and Horde, the sage.

The legends of Simfiotley and Siegmund are mostly about force, but because of this, the man who relied on strategy to defeat the Burgundian invading army with the army and terrain was extremely conspicuous.

Hiltebrand once longed for the calmness in that description.

It seems that everything can be arranged properly just on the map.

But thinking about it now, the ghost knows that the man with the title of sage has an extraordinary bloodline, and his face has not changed for decades.

Thinking of this, Hiltebrand even felt a little inexplicably upset.

Even, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the young king again, the child whom he regarded as his own.

Dietrich Dittmadottir.

Speaking of which, when did they hook up?

Although he didn't know the exact time, but as long as he thought of these, he would feel a little helpless.

The man who was older than him suddenly hooked up with the young girl in her prime.

Will your conscience hurt?

"Hilter?"

And at this moment, Dietrich seemed to have noticed something was wrong.

As the Daughter of Demons, her senses are unparalleled.

Although it is different from "feeling the world" like elves and giants, it has a unique perception of emotions and sights.

But now it was like this, with Hiltebrand, she felt that something might be wrong.

Like his gaze.

"never mind."

Finally, finally let go of the entanglement in his heart, the weapon master sighed helplessly.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" she asked.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the world is impermanent."

"what?"

"Do you know why I stayed with your father?"

For what?

When these words came, Dietrich herself couldn't help being taken aback.

However, her excellent energy-raising skills have been maintained, so that her expression has not changed in any way.

Immediately afterwards, her beautiful brows raised slightly.

"Is this kind of thing... important?"

she asked.

Obviously, she didn't want to pursue anything about this kind of thing.

Because for her, Hiltebrand is the only remaining elder whom she can fully trust.

As for the past, it is natural to let it go if you can.

On the other side, when Hiltebrand noticed Dietrich's embarrassed look, he laughed helplessly.

"Actually, there is no special reason. You don't have to worry about anything."

Hiltebrand has lived for so long, even if he doesn't want to participate in the mess called 'politics' anymore.

But he could naturally understand Dietrich's deepest worries.

Speaking of which, he learned these things when he helped Dittmar deal with and communicated with him on political matters.

Nothing more than those two words.

interest and purpose.

People live in this world, and every action is basically to bring benefits to themselves.

Eating is to supplement nutrition, and cooking is to make food more delicious.

This is the instinct burned in the bone.

And naturally, it extends to other places as well.

If it is to join a certain force, then of course it should be to pursue the so-called 'benefits'.

But, it's also up to you.

Not everyone likes to 'gamble'.

Not to mention, the Gothic Kingdom at that time could not actually bring the so-called 'benefits'.

Although he still maintained peace on the surface, as a warrior, he did not choose other powerful lords, but chose the king who was at a low point and was even murdered several times.

Why is this?

"Actually, at that time, what I saw was the dangerous situation of your father."

Finally, Hiltebrand said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Dietrich's thoughts could not help but diverge.

However, her face still maintained the most basic calm.

Could it be that this old man took off just for gambling?

No, Hiltebrand is not such a person in terms of character.

So why on earth did he come to Goth from Gitland?

She kept the most basic calm like this, and began to think in her mind.

In fact, before he mentioned it himself.

Dietrich herself handles it as a romance.

Why did Hiltebrand stay by his father's side?
