You and me under the world tree

In order not to be troubled by such things, most people will not move freely after living in a specially arranged embassy.

They will declare to the court the gifts they have brought representing the kingdom, and then wait quietly for the coronation ceremony.

Under normal circumstances, they would also return to their residences after watching the coronation from afar.

When the palace dinner begins, they will go to the palace under the escort of a special person.

"It's not a dinner party, though."

Folding his hands on his chest, His Majesty the King said loudly.

Gradually, her expression became serious.

"Even if it is a serious crime for you to sneak into a king's palace at any time, have you not considered the consequences when you appear in front of me now?"

"No, I didn't think about the consequences."

Under the king's questioning, a figure slowly came out from the shadows in the corner.

He was dressed in a black robe, but his movements were completely opposite to the low-key expression of the wolf pattern robe.

In the king's study, he just spread out his hands, as if to emphasize his own sense of existence.

Hodder the sage of the Netherlands.

As a member of the Volsung family, he is also a blood brother of Siegmund, the former warrior of all armies.

He is now standing in a study that is theoretically a foreign country.

Moreover, it is as comfortable as coming to your own home.

"I don't think I need to think about the consequences."

Just like that, he opened his mouth to respond.

"Why? You must know that you are an envoy from another country now."

"No, didn't you read the guest list?"

He walked slowly in front of her, looking down at her healthy but pale face.

"I am not an envoy or guest of the Netherlands. Of course, this kind of matter is left to other people to handle."

He laughed.

It wasn't such an exaggerated smile, but it was inexplicably contagious in Dietrich's eyes.

Therefore, the toughness and seriousness on her face that had been disguised gradually faded away.

The corners of her mouth were raised slightly.

But at this moment, the fiery red sunset outside the window dissipated.

A moment of darkness fell.

But soon, the cold moonlight cast down, instantly changing the atmosphere in the study.

"I haven't looked at the guest list yet. That kind of thing is only presented before the dinner."

Dietrich said this.

"So, I'm curious?"

"what?"

"What gift can the Netherlands prepare for me?"

Obviously she was still wearing that icy armor, but when she folded her arms around her chest, it gave off a cute and playful feeling.

Maybe it's because of his good looks?

Suddenly, Howard laughed.

"You want a gift from the Netherlands? In fact, it's no different from other kingdoms. For regular gifts, it's nothing more than gold, silver and jewelry."

After hearing his words, Dietrich frowned.

The range is not large, but her expression still expresses her dissatisfaction.

"So, that's it?"

she asked.

"There's something else you need right now."

"tell me the story?"

"The terms of commercial trade, in the future, there will be a large amount of goods that can be traded between the Netherlands and Goths by virtue of their vast land, and the two sides can form a virtuous circle. After all, the only weakness of your Goths is that you have no maritime trade."

In this regard, Dietrich expressed silence.

Because of the terrain, the Gothic Kingdom, which is located in the center of the Atrium World, has a rich land that can be said to be second only to the Eastern Plain.

And because of the unique geographical environment surrounded by mountains, it can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Theoretically speaking, it is only necessary to guard the entrance of the valley and a few river courses, so it is difficult to break into the inner plains by conventional means.

But the disadvantages brought about by this geographical advantage are not without, that is, they have no relationship with the ocean.

The atrium world is surrounded by oceans, and the Kingdom of Iceland is a northern island independent of the mainland.

Goth would indeed be missing something important in this context.

For example seafood.

Not to mention swimming and other issues, the Gothic Kingdom does have this shortcoming in terms of food.

But it was different after signing the treaty with the Netherlands.

"We have a prosperous fishery in the Netherlands, and through commercial channels, we can regularly transport seafood, as well as various other marine resources."

"Like?"

"For example, minerals, or precious resources on underwater monsters. Now the Netherlands and Iceland have reached an agreement to jointly develop Greenland."

"It is said that monsters are everywhere, and there are even a lot of dragon nests in Greenland?"

"That's right, that's right there. Iceland has a tendency to sell Warcraft cubs to the outside world. I think you should be interested."

Today, in the entire Midgard, there are only two kingdoms that have completely controlled the monsters and beasts and formed them into national defense forces.

One is the Hungarian Empire on the eastern plain.

Relying on the powerful King of Punishment, coupled with the ferocious beasts that are everywhere on the plain, they can now drive away the beast tide and launch an attack while raising magical beast cubs.

And the other is more forward in terms of time.

Decades ago, during the chaos in the northern peninsula, the King of Iceland, Gripoel, who is now known as the "Wise Man", returned to Iceland in a time of crisis.

Together with his wife, he turned the tide and created an army of water beasts in a short period of time.

And that water beast army directly became Iceland's first barrier on the ocean.

In fact, there are not only warship troops on the seas of the Kingdom of Iceland today, but also various sea beasts that have been domesticated within decades.

And although the Netherlands is currently breeding many cubs, there is still a long way to go to train a complete troop of beasts.

At least wait for these beasts to grow up.

However, in a sense, although they lack time, the most indispensable thing for the entire kingdom is time.

If the cubs of Warcraft are brought up, it is bound to be of great combat power - at least in the kingdom's battle.

However, as smart as she is, she will definitely not be taken advantage of.

"You Netherlands want to get kickbacks from this."

Having seen through the trick expressed in Hodder's words at a glance, Dietrich said subtly.

"It's better than nothing, and after all, Iceland has a treaty with the Netherlands, Gothic is too far away."

"I know that these gifts are really beneficial to Goth."

She smiled slightly.

But soon, she raised her eyebrows again.

"Then besides the various trade terms and those gold and silver jewels, what else is there? Is that all?"

"Gone."

Then, her expression became visibly disappointed.

"But what I said earlier was a gift from the kingdom."

"!!!"

Good morning everyone_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 41: The Gift of the Sage

In front of the sage Huode, the triumphant Gothic king showed his face-changing skills.

Obviously, the loss was still visible to the naked eye before, but when Huo De smiled, she also smiled.

One eye is cloudy and lifeless, with a vague blue that seems to be opaque, and the other has a clear but bewitching scarlet.

They are human, but at the same time they are not ordinary people.

Regardless of life experience or experience, the sages of the Netherlands and the Gothic kings have too much in common.

And after being together for nearly three years, the pair of fierce beasts who licked each other's wounds have long been intimate.

Only the miracle of piercing the last transparent barrier is missing.

However, this may not even be realized by them themselves.

They just thought it was fine.

Being able to talk on an equal footing, willing to be considered by the other party, and willing to be a safe haven for the other party.

In the study room where no one was around, not only could he relax temporarily, but she could also tear off her cold, ruthless and mysterious mask that was displayed to outsiders.

Here, he is not the sage of the mysterious and formidable Volsung family.

And she is not a king who uses tyrannical conquests to hold on to the power of the kingdom.

Just a happy couple.

But soon, this comfortable atmosphere dissipated.

Because Dietrich quickly recovered from that comfortable and joyful state.

Then, she frowned tightly.

Then, the red eyes began to circle Hodder's body.

"You fool me."

Finally, she spoke.

The dissatisfaction in the words is obvious.

But this little annoyance was just right.

Because it cannot be regarded as anger, those words are naturally not regarded as rebuke.
