You and me under the world tree

"Or, if you think about it again, maybe you remember wrongly. The place where the magic sword was born is not in Helheim. There is also Niflheim in a cold place, but it can ignite flames there. "

After all, there is only one reason for Helheim's inability to ignite flames and radiance, and that is 'death'.

The flame will be extinguished (death), and the light will fade away (death).

"Forget it, these things don't really matter."

Maybe Hela had something else to say, but Huo De finally shook his head.

"It's just that anyway, it doesn't hurt to pry a little bit."

Then Hodder just stretched himself.

It is normal to feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable after sitting for a long time.

But for some reason, this movement looked extremely stiff in the eyes of Hela and Dietrich.

"After all, we have already put on the appearance that we may live in the city of ash tree, so no matter what, we have to have a beginning and an end. Tomorrow or sometime, let's go to the city lord to discuss it."

And his words also revealed his own attitude: he did not give up.

No matter what, he might have to stay in this city of ash trees for a while.

No, maybe not too long.

"Give me one morning."

Finally, Hodder said so.

This is the time he set for himself.

"We leave the City of Ashes tomorrow afternoon."

After hearing Hodder's words, Dietrich and Hella just looked at each other.

Although, some things seem unnecessary.

After all, the place they are going to is the peak of wisdom in Jotunheim.

Some things may only need to be asked, but Dietrich did not raise this point now.

Be careful?

cautious?

trust?

alert?

If you continue to pursue it, you will inevitably get involved in those things again.

At this moment, Hefeline's figure suddenly appeared in Dietrich's mind.

If she is free, she has to make a special apology.

Those were her friends, but Hodder's relationship to them, and his attitude, was his own.

"Howard."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but speak.

There was a hint of helplessness on that pale face.

"Think about how I feel later."

"……sorry."

Then Hodder just bowed his head.

There was no other promise or relief he could give.

"I believe you."

he opened his mouth to speak.

"But I can't trust your friend."

If some words are said bluntly, it is actually a very hurtful thing, but Hodder just said it like this.

Because it will make it difficult for the parties involved.

Of course the spearhead was not directed at her, but a dilemma is inevitable.

But fortunately, they haven't fully met yet, and he is willing to fully express this attitude, which in itself can be regarded as a kind of trust.

Thinking of this, Dietrich sighed helplessly.

Then, she cast her gaze on the dining table in front of her.

"Ah, after talking so much, I suddenly forgot to eat."

Then, she touched her stomach, and then took the table blade off the barbecue.

But that congealed gravy clearly says something.

"It's getting cold."

she said.

"Eat it quickly."

Hodder reminded.

"If you leave it like this, it will be an insult to the owner of this tavern."

"Ah."

"that……"

Just when Huo De and the others were about to get rid of the cold barbecue and vegetable soup on the table, a suspicious voice came from their ears.

At the same time, there was a shock in the enchantment of magic.

Obviously, someone broke into their sound barrier.

And this person is a giantess, who is also the proprietress of this tavern.

She looked visibly distressed at the moment.

"Excuse me, is it not to your liking? Or..."

"No, nothing."

Before the giantess continued to say something, Hela spoke.

But at the moment when she opened her mouth like this, what she got was the somewhat surprised gazes of her two partners.

"what……"

Something seems wrong.

Chapter 76: The Jolly Giant

With lingering surprise, Huo De and Dietrich just looked at Hela.

Then, they looked at each other again.

After a brief eye contact, they finally cast their eyes on the giantess who met again.

She has a beautiful face, and her previous smile was contagious.

It's just that now, the eyes of this unknown giantess are filled with a trace of apprehension.

The reason is also very simple, because the meal that Huode and the others ordered before has been cold, and they haven't even eaten a few bites until now.

This caused a little misunderstanding for the giantess who seemed to be happy all the time.

But that's not the point right now.

In Huo De's view, the point is that Hela actually spoke for the first time.

And to such an outsider who doesn't even know his name.

"Actually nothing."

She seemed to be trying to explain this.

"I'm actually more used to eating cold."

This is all bullshit.

Speaking of which, even people who meet for the first time should be aware of the abnormality in this, right? !

Looking at Hela's hard-working and clumsy appearance, Huo De couldn't help but have such complaints in his heart.

After all, Hela's clumsiness was actually expected.

After all, this is not in line with Hela's own living habits.

She has never been the kind of character who is good at talking to strangers, and during the time she spent with Hodder and the others, her social circle did not expand in any way.

Except for daily necessary communication, she would not say much at all.

But even when communicating with outsiders, she also put on a layer of mysterious magic appearance.

And under the influence of magic, others will not know who she is.

Of course, this kind of method is actually not feasible in Jotunheim. After all, it is quite rude to affect other people's cognition.

And once it is discovered, it is not clear at all.

But of course, in fact, more importantly, foreign negotiations and conversations have always been Hodder's job.

When the three of them acted together, Huo De was usually responsible for external communication and smoothing the field.

As for now, what is this?

Hodder just stared at the partner who was actually not good at words with strange eyes.

On the other side, Hela felt remorse.

She even wondered if she hadn't recovered from her drunkenness yet.

Can't even speak.

"I just……"

She subconsciously wanted to explain something.

But before she could explain anything further, she saw the man speak:

"Nothing happened, we came from Midgard."

He said so.

"Both me and my partners are very interested in this city, so I exchanged a little bit of my knowledge and experience in this city."

When talking about this, Hodder even stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head.

The way he looked around with his head down seemed tense and unnatural.

But this is the most normal attitude.

After all, they are actually the 'unreasonable' party.

"Then talking and talking, I talked about a lot of things, and then I forgot to eat."

Then, he adjusted his expression slightly.

"In short, these things are our own responsibility, and you don't have to feel guilty about it. We will finish these things."

In this way, Hodder completely rounded up these matters, without mentioning the heavy topics mentioned before.

Anyway, their identities are not visitors with ulterior motives, but characters who have traveled through the chaotic iron forest and came to the strange world of giants for adventure.

"Have you just arrived in this city?"

After hearing Hodder's words, the giantess who seemed to be still in her prime asked.

She didn't seem to express any doubts about Hodder's words.

After all, she didn't know these people in front of her at all.

"Yes, we have just arrived in this city not long ago."

Howard responded calmly.
