You and me under the world tree

"I'm actually curious. The intensity of the attack just now seems to be unbearable for ordinary people, right?"

"really."

Seeing that Hela seemed to be with him, Huo De nodded slowly.

"Although we deal with it very easily, and we don't even need to spend much effort, but for other caravans, these giants are definitely strong enemies."

What he said is actually very face-saving.

Because strictly speaking, human warriors are actually weak when facing giants.

In terms of strength alone, it is already incomparable.

And the terrain here is extremely dangerous, if you are not careful, you will fall into the steel bushes.

And here lies the problem.

"Then how did the Hungarian merchants get through here?"

Is it because of Etzel's identity that these giants dare not make a move?

As long as they can show their identities, then these giant robbers expelled from Jotunheim would not dare to offend Etzel's grandfather, the giant king Sudong, right?

However, this seemingly reliable guess can only be heard casually.

Hodder understands that the Hungarian caravan has no logo at all, and Etzel's status does not allow him to have any apparent relationship with Jotunheim!

He would never take the initiative to promote this.

Here comes the problem...

"Could it be that the merchants in Hungary are all heroes with one against a hundred?"

Hela said suddenly.

Chapter 7: The Real Attack

Hella's tone was subtle.

You want to say surprise, right?

The tone was not quite right, but it was inexplicably sarcasm.

But if you're serious, her expression doesn't look like that, it can be said to be too exaggerated.

In short, this can be said to be an answer that is very characteristic of the father-daughter pair Hela and Loki.

However, if you want to liven up the atmosphere with these words, it is a joke.

"If it's a joke, then it's not funny at all."

Dietrich said this.

Hodder also shrugged.

"Now is not the time to joke."

Having said that, Hodder suddenly raised his head.

His eyes just turned around.

However, he did not perceive any danger.

However, this is not because there is really no danger around him, but because his own perception is limited.

Ever since he experienced a round of attacks from the so-called giant bandits, he knew that this kind of thing was not that simple.

To be precise, his perception was limited by the unpredictable space.

This feeling is like looking up into the distance, only to see the wall that cannot be crossed no matter what.

Moreover, the wall was not built normally, but it felt like it was inserted straight into the ground.

Not to mention, the strong magic atmosphere spreading in the iron forest.

When the magical atmosphere is strong enough to a certain extent, it is enough to interfere with the judgment that wizards usually have.

However, whether this is because the Iron Forest itself is a magical creation, or whether it is a deception set up here by the giants with foresight is another matter that is debatable.

In short, now, all this reveals the extraordinary here.

Therefore, it is necessary to concentrate and be vigilant.

As for the rest...

"Interestingly, I once investigated the casualty rate of caravans in Hungary."

"Huh? Have you checked?"

"Well, random investigation during the 'assassination' of Etzel."

Having said that, Hodder paused for a moment.

"However, I think this is more like an on-the-spot interview than statistics."

Having said that, Hodder suddenly took a step forward.

He first walked over to a giant corpse lying nearby and looked down.

At this time, he actually has the option to investigate.

For example, if you use magic to probe the memory of the corpse, you can find some clues no matter what.

However, he didn't do that.

Even, for some reason, he didn't take a second look at those giant corpses.

"And these things can be summed up in one sentence: dangerous, but not fatal. This is like a human climbing a steep mountain. It looks dangerous, but as long as you are careful and step by step, what you experience is the process." The thrills and thrills are generally safe... just don't want to experience it a second time."

Then, Hodder walked forward calmly.

When he passed Dietrich and Hella on the way, he suddenly reached out and patted the shoulders of the two.

But before the two of them expressed their views, their expressions became dignified.

Because they heard the man's whispered reminder:

"Maybe someone is watching, we have to move on."

This reminder alone is enough to make them vigilant.

As for the rest, they can talk about it on the road.

…………

In this way, the carriage disguised as a small businessman continued on.

Unlike before, they chose to move forward step by step. This time, they all sat in the carriage, allowing Falke, who was in charge of pulling the carriage, to move forward at a steady pace.

And on the carriage, Hodder finally spoke.

"Theoretically speaking, the purpose of giants is to plunder, which means that they are based on profit, and giants who can act in groups are obviously not low IQ characters."

Since the IQ is not low, what is considered?

"Just like the bandits and bandits in Midgard, they will never go too far. If there is no money left in the caravan, then in the worst case, there will be no more merchants." Teams."

And what does this mean?

Very simple.

"Then they don't have any targets for 'looting', which is definitely not a good thing, and if they want to continue looting, they must leave a bottom line, at least to make the Hungarian merchants feel profitable picture."

Speaking of this, Hodder suddenly laughed.

"If it were me, I would definitely not make a death move, and then start threatening. It would be much more comfortable to charge high tolls."

"but……"

"But this……"

"But I have no proof."

Without waiting for Dietrich and Haroldo to say anything, Hodder added his own words.

After his words, Dietrich and Hella could only swallow the words that came to their lips.

He had said all he had to say, and they had nothing to add.

"Actually, although I don't know what kind of characters the law-abiding giants living in Jotunheim are, I still have a certain understanding of the habits of these bad guys. After all, a long time ago in the atrium world There is an active underground city of giants."

Speaking of this, Dietrich herself couldn't help but smile knowingly.

But of course, she missed the giant underground kingdom that once flourished in the records.

When she started the second cleaning, there was nothing left there, only a so-called giant king lingering on his last breath.

And it was this man beside him who completely kicked the once prosperous giant mountain city into the abyss.

"The so-called giants are cruel by nature, like to kill hostages, and even cook humans like other animals and eat them as delicacies."

Recalling the fragments he still remembered, Hodder frowned unknowingly.

"I wouldn't be surprised if these brutal and inhuman guys attacked us for extra food."

Then, he slowly straightened his body.

"But it doesn't matter. This kind of thing is not a multiple-choice question. Since there is no way to confirm it, then just wait. Whether it is a coincidence or not, there will be an answer and conclusion immediately."

Suddenly, Falk stopped his steps.

Then, the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

No one spoke, and the Nightmare Warhorse seemed to be holding their breath.

In the end, a large number of arrows rained down!

And, it's not top-down!

The space on this land doesn't talk about any rules at all, and when Hodder really sensed the threat, what he saw was a siege net attacking from all directions.

'Snapped'

Almost at the same time, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The magic shield formed almost instantly, and it wrapped the entire carriage.

'boom'

The rain of arrows landed on the shield.

And at this moment, Hodder frowned.

Because he felt a piercing chill, which he felt when the shields collided.

"pass it to me!"

Seeing that Huo De's expression was not right, Dietrich raised the two whistling magic swords in her hand.

'clang'

In the hands of the triumphant king, the blades collided.

The dragon soul hummed, and the wind danced.
