You and me under the world tree

So basically, when someone else's daughter was kidnapped by bandits, he first played a pet battle with that poor old father, and then played a board chess game with three out of five games. To save someone else's daughter.

Sure enough, the casual players of the stupid donkey game are all virtuous cough cough cough...

However, Lao Mu's enthusiasm for "Nine Realms" has not shown signs of fading so far, which may seem like a good thing.

At least his newly bought gaming pod won't have to eat ashes for a while, but the only thing he doesn't know is how long his 'heat' will last.

"Speaking of which, do you still have dinner?"

"Forget it, it's getting late." After hearing what Mu Si said, Huo De looked up at the clock in the living room, then shook his head, "I'll go to the skewers later."

"Row."

In the end, the supper was finalized.

It's not that Hodder really feels hungry or anything, it's just that he feels that he has to use the barbecue to expel all the smell in his mind.

"I really can't stand the smell..."

Chapter 26: Gingerbread

For Hodder, the preciousness of food can only be understood by those who have really experienced the test of taste disaster.

That's how it is now, he and Lao Mu had a great time eating barbecue at the food stall downstairs.

Chicken wings, vermicelli eggplant, mutton skewers, beef skewers, short ribs, oysters, leeks...

There is still a lot to eat for two people, plus a few cans of beer, life is quite comfortable.

I talked about college with my boss who I have known for almost four years. I was asked if I found a job, when I was leaving school, and said that I would come to him for a meal before leaving school.

In this calm but lively environment, the taste impact brought by Icelandic black dead wine and dried shark meat in Hodder's mind finally subsided.

The food memory in his mind was finally replaced by the grilled skewers, beer and the previous desserts.

With extremely satisfied thoughts, he returned to the rental house where he had lived for a long time, and returned to the room after taking a shower.

Finally, he lay down in the game cabin.

It's not because he's an Internet addict...

Although in fact he may be just one step away from being an Internet addict, but he didn't lie in the game cabin to play games all night.

And there is only one reason: theoretically, he has not exited that scene mission.

Because in the end, he remembered that he was holding his drowsy head drenched in black dead wine, led by the servants into the room arranged for them, and then quickly quit the game.

And now several hours have passed since that time, and I don't know if the 'drunk' debuff has been eliminated.

But of course, Hodder didn't enter the game to experience "drunkness" specially, he was just interested in some of the decorations in the game.

After all, this is the inside of the palace rather than the wild. In addition, the task scene does not seem to be over yet. It is also good to experience the room where the Icelandic royal family lives.

【Welcome to "Nine Realms"】

After a series of icons and words flashed in the field of vision, Hodder's consciousness gradually rose. When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the room of Yangang Palace.

The palaces inside the main city of each kingdom can reflect its strategic location and status quo.

For example, in the current Kingdom of the Netherlands, the royal palace belonging to the Hengding family is estimated to be slowly being renovated.

For example, Beian City is more like a military fortress as a whole because it is located on the border of the Gothic Kingdom.

His Royal Highness Prince Dietrich doesn't seem to like to enjoy it very much, and the overall decoration of the palace is not luxurious, and the interior is even full of weapons. How to put it, it may be slightly better to live than a room in a hotel.

Compared with the fortress-like structure of Beian City, the interior layout of the Icelandic Royal Palace is obviously warmer, which is Hod's favorite layout.

When Hodder got up from the bed, he glanced down at the big wooden hard bed.

Although sleeping is definitely not as comfortable as modern beds and pillows, it is covered with animal down, and the top layer of down is covered with a layer of silk.

Yes, silk...

This thing is like potatoes and curry, it should be something that does not exist in Northern Europe.

Regardless of its origin, though, it's quite comfortable to sleep on because it's slippery to the touch and the down adds softness.

But it's a pity that Hodder is still wearing armor until now, so he doesn't feel any comfort except for his head.

Moreover, in fact, he can't take care of these things now, because he always feels bitter in his mouth.

After the drunkenness completely dissipated, an uncomfortable feeling filled his mouth.

Is it useless to eat barbecue in reality?

After licking his lips, he quickly pulled out his inventory, took out a few gingerbread pieces from it, and gnawed on it.

As an experienced virtual reality game player, Hodder likes to place food in the inventory, and gingerbread is his favorite dessert.

Moreover, there is no need to work hard to make it, and the store can buy it.

At least Sand Sculpture Operations also knows that not everyone can eat traditional Nordic food, so the desserts are more in line with the taste of modern people.

Gingerbread is not made with ginger juice, flour, cream, and almonds.

However, the reason why he took out gingerbread now is not only because it is a dessert, but because of its slightly spicy taste.

Reset taste buds...

That's what he's going to do.

"Huh..." After biting off the gingerbread and chewing, he finally broke free from the dark combination of shark carrion and coriander spirits.

The pungent ginger flavor of the gingerbread quickly dispelled the stench, warming Hodder's mouth, and then came the fragrance of whipped cream and almonds.

"Okay." After eating a small piece of gingerbread, Huo De took a long breath.

And then at this moment...

"Uncle, help me..." Just as Huo De was about to turn around the room carefully, the weak voice from the side made him tremble.

When he followed the sound, he saw Siegfried lying on the other bed like a dead dog.

If Huo De remembered correctly, he should have been carried in by the servants, and even his two swords were brought in together.

During this period, there was no tendency to steal or play tricks. After all, these two swords are quite heavy for ordinary people. It is more appropriate to say that they were carried in by these servants rather than being 'held'.

Now, the famous dragon slaying warrior just lay on the bed, his voice was very low, because he was afraid that if he took a big breath, he would inhale the rotten smell still remaining in his mouth into his nasal cavity.

The skin soaked in dragon blood can make him ignore most magic and physical damage, and even make him immune to most poisons in the atrium world.

But even so, some things are ultimately too heavy for life, and unadaptable food is like this for him.

"poor child."

Under Siegfried's pitiful gaze, Hodder handed him the remaining gingerbread.

Instead of eating in one bite like Hodder, he swallowed two pieces of gingerbread in one bite.

As he chewed, the gingerbread-like texture gradually spread out with his teeth.

Soft, spicy, sweet...

In the end, Siegfried only felt the peculiar taste of gingerbread.

Spicy but not spicy, sweet but not greasy.

"Alive." He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looking at you like this, I thought you liked eating very much."

Then Siegfried didn't speak.

He had regained his sobriety at this time, so his handsome face became particularly embarrassing.

"I was too drunk..." In the end, he could only say this.

Looking at the young man with a simple and honest smile, Huo De couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

Chapter 27: Too impatient is not a good thing

At the previous banquet, Siegfried felt particularly comfortable. The atmosphere of eating in the garden was so wonderful that he immediately relaxed his vigilance.

Of course, there are many reasons for this.

For example, he is now invulnerable. For example, he has been wearing armor all the time. As long as he is not stabbed in the vest, no one can touch him when he is lying on the ground.

Not to mention that a knife couldn't cut his skin, he reckoned that he could wake up from the pain.

In addition, he was here as a guest and not here to negotiate. As an uncle, as an uncle who once wanted to give him a 'decent' funeral, Gripal had no reason to kill him.

In addition, he felt that he had something to ask of him after all, so he should be at ease as a matter of course.

However, those above are not all, but only one of the reasons.

In fact, the most important thing was that he felt that Uncle Huo De was here, so he could temporarily let go of the vigilance in his heart.

For Howard, he still has the mentality he has developed since childhood: he seems to be omnipotent, and as long as he is there, any difficulty can be solved.

But at least he was a little ashamed.

He has long passed the age of acting like a baby, and what the young and vigorous Siegfried feels at this moment is a deep sense of shame.

Because no matter how he explained it, he couldn't change one thing: he drank too much in a strange place.

After all, this place is different from the Nibelung Kingdom of the dwarves, so he simply let go of his vigilance and felt ashamed of his uncle's teachings.

And more importantly, this was actually the first time he made such a mistake, and he was not thick-skinned at all.

So in the end, he just bowed his head in embarrassment.

Even if he is already a "recognized" dragon slaying hero, even if he only needs to report his name and deeds, most people know and even admire him.

But in front of Huo De, he felt that he was still the child who lived in the blacksmith shop all day long, waiting for his uncle to visit him from time to time.

As a child, losing face in front of elders is actually an embarrassing thing.

However, this embarrassment mixed with shyness didn't last long before there was a knock on the door.

'Boom dong dong'

The sound of knocking on the door was not heavy, and the politeness of the people outside could be heard from the rhythm.

"Mr. Siegfried, Mr. Hodder, are you still awake?"

It was a woman who spoke, but this woman's voice sounded quite strange, at least neither Hodder nor Siegfried had heard it before.

Then, when the door opened, a girl in a long dress appeared.

However, this is not a gorgeous dress, it looks quite simple, and it is herself who looks a little out of place with this long dress.

Because her body is not considered weak, although the long skirt is a bit loose, her arms are quite strong.

Maybe it's just inadvertent, but the fabric draws lines against her arms.

However, what really showed her identity was actually the long sword tied around her waist.

The combination of the leather scabbard and the plain long skirt revealed an inexplicable sense of incompatibility, but her own temperament minimized the sense of incompatibility.

There is no doubt that she is the maid.

Even if Howard didn't know her, he could tell that.

However, there is actually a more appropriate title: Shield Maiden.

The shield girl is a position that only women can take up in the atrium, and the situation of this position is somewhat special.

In the atrium world, only female warriors in the royal court can be called "shield girls". They are lower than the royal family and nobles, but nobler than civilians and ordinary warriors.

Even under normal circumstances, even ordinary nobles would not dare to offend the 'shield girl'.

Shield maidens are generally responsible for cleaning and housework in the palace. They usually don't even wear armor, and they look no different from ordinary maids.

However, when the war breaks out, the Shield Maiden will go into battle.

When the king marches in person, they will become the most loyal guards, opening the way for the king, prince and any members of the royal family.
