You and me under the world tree

"What you're standing on must be the ground... at least it's the ground."

There was no tension at all, Dietrich just laughed softly.

She couldn't help but recall the state of mind she had when she first stepped into the iron forest and saw this strange scene.

To be honest, it was not a good memory, because in retrospect, she realized that she had actually wasted a lot of time.

"Just go all the way forward. In fact, this place does not affect us at all. After all, what we are stepping on is always a road."

What Dietrich expressed is actually very simple, as long as they stay together and move on.

only……

"If that's all it is, then what is the meaning of the Iron Forest?"

Howard asked about it.

After all, as Dietrich said, they are not affected in any way now.

But it wasn't supposed to be like this.

“This chaotic space must have a purpose of its own.”

Saying so, Hodder took out a gorgeous longbow.

And when the bow appeared, Hela, who had always seemed careless, was suddenly attracted.

"This is the longbow of light made by the kingdom of elves."

After noticing Hela's gaze, Hodder responded calmly.

"At the same time, this is also Loki's weapon."

After hesitating for a moment, Hodder decided to add this.

As for the source...

"He... entrusted it to me."

It's impossible for him to say something like 'I once chopped off your father's head' in front of Haila, right?

The so-called redemption ceremony?

It's better not to say this kind of thing, anyway, neither of the two sides took it seriously at the time.

This is completely a 'dirty' deal behind the scenes.

"I told you before, I have a cooperative relationship with him, so I got his weapon."

In this way, Hodder briefly described the source of the longbow in his hand.

And from the beginning to the end, the sage never emphasized her parent-child relationship with the god of tricks.

Because Hela is an awkward child.

If Loki was called 'your father' in front of Hella, she would probably be angry and awkward.

On the contrary, if he directly called the god of tricks by his name, nothing would happen.

"You don't have to tell me this."

After glancing at the bow of light, Hela quickly turned her gaze away.

Of course, if you want to talk about some awkwardness and temper in your heart, there will definitely be some.

Anyone can see that she is not at all

For her daughter, Loki's identity as a father is too sensitive.

In her eyes, that man has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

"I'm not interested in knowing that."

Although she did say so, Hela's attitude of blind denial revealed her true thoughts on the contrary.

She couldn't say she didn't care, because even after all the suffering, she couldn't completely deny his attitude.

It is impossible to say that Loki does not love his children at all.

What's more, there is a woman who has passed away between them: Hella's mother and Loki's former lover.

This makes their parent-child relationship more complicated.

"Ok, I know."

In this regard, Hodder did not continue to say anything.

He just took out an ordinary arrow, and then bent his bow and set the arrow.

"I just wanted to do a test, and this bow is just right."

Why do you say that?

There was no need for Hodder to continue to explain, the bow from the kingdom of elves quickly gave the answer.

"Light……"

Hella whispered.

Although she verbally said that she was not interested, she still turned her head very honestly at the moment Hodra bowed.

What caught her eyes was the scene of the bow and arrow emitting light.

In the steel forest, there is a cold wind blowing.

For a moment, the cloak on the sage was blown up.

In Hela's eyes, the black cloak once covered his face.

But at that moment, her thoughts became confused.

If the face was covered, the figure in the black robe really looked like that man.

Speaking of which, does that man who looks extremely feminine also have such a side?

As the god of trickery, he wears a black robe but bows and shoots arrows.

And he seems to have a war hammer?

At this moment, although Hela's gaze had been fixed on the man, her thoughts inevitably began to diverge.

Finally, the sharp arrow dyed with brilliance pierced through the air.

In the dark iron forest, it seemed to be glowing by itself.

And that brilliance far exceeds the oil lamp used for lighting.

So it should be visible even from far away - in theory it is.

However, the internal structure of the Iron Forest cannot be viewed with common sense.

This is a messy place.

And that arrow of light finally disappeared without a trace.

It is not the kind of slow natural disappearance, but a very sudden disappearance.

After hesitating for a moment, Hodder shot another arrow towards the 'ground' above.

But this time, the arrow of light disappeared for a while and then reappeared.

As an archer, Hodder didn't know where it went before, but fortunately, the arrow finally landed where he shot it.

"Although it doesn't seem to be far away, the distance has been stretched."

Having said that, Hodder couldn't help but sighed.

"For fighters, this is actually a very troublesome place, but for some archers, this should be the most suitable place to launch an attack."

"The space inside the Iron Forest is like this. As far as the eye can see is the place to step on, but the distance in the middle and other structures are not small problems."

Dietrich glanced directly below.

The branched branches there look very similar to the scenery above... no, it can be said to be exactly the same!

For her, no matter how many times she looks at it, she feels disorientated.

Because here, all judgments and perceptions are unreliable.

Even if he has a unique feeling and talent for bearing recognition, it is all invalid here.

And there is only one thing that can be done.

"Let's move on."

Dietrich said.

Then, a group of people marched through the chaotic space in the steel forest.

However, also because of the chaos in the space, they didn't notice that a group of black shadows had just appeared around them.

And deeper in it was a pair of icy eyes that seemed to be emitting a chill.

"Is this the sage in the world?"

Good afternoon everyone_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 3: Burgundy is coming to an end

Location: Netherlands, City of Wrath

Today's Kingdom of the Netherlands is also the same as usual, without much disturbance - except for one place: the province of Burgundy.

Of course, the so-called province is the name of the future.

Now, that piece of land is still: Burgundy.

Because it has been completely conquered and the royal family is almost wiped out, it has long been part of the Netherlands.

But from the perspective of a series of operations and legal principles later, it is still an independent entity on the surface.

As for why this is so?

That, of course, has nothing to do with what is about to happen in Burgundy, or what has happened.

This is a plan formulated by the sage Hodder, and the ultimate beneficiary is Siegfried, who is the Lord of Armies.

As for the executor, it is Hagen who will take responsibility and bear the blame in case of failure.

In fact, this kind of thing is actually very dangerous.

If Hagen has a little bit of dissent, then this kind of determination is no less than letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

Because this is completely tantamount to handing over the Burgundy region that has been fought so hard to the hands of others.

So to put it bluntly, this test is actually the trust relationship between the two parties.

Not only is Hagen's loyalty tested, but Siegfried's ability to recognize people is also tested at the same time-at least in the eyes of outsiders.

Most people and outsiders actually don't know many things, so they always feel worried about the unimaginable things that happened in Burgundy.

Take, for example, what is happening all the time in Burgundy today: oppression.

Since Hagen received Siegfried's approval and returned to his hometown as the sole heir of Burgundy, he seemed to have become a tyrant.

Using his power, he frantically put pressure on those lords.

During his tenure as lord of Burgundy, Hagen seemed to have completely forgotten his wisdom as a palace minister.

It is also for this reason that there have been many voices of 'unspeakable misery' in the Burgundy region.

For a while, it was said that the lord Hagen was building a lot, and he didn't care about the people's feelings at all, and for a while, it was said that he was collecting money wantonly.

Later, he even wanted to reorganize Burgundy's military and political system.

In other words, he wanted to deprive the powers of the Burgundian lords, and the good name was: for more convenient rule, he followed the example of the Netherlands and Goths.

There is nothing wrong with these words in themselves.
