You and me under the world tree

"Yes, it is like that."

But before his partner had any other words, Hodder's tone was deflected.

"However, it is also possible that Eggers took this opportunity to communicate with her 'superior'. After all, our previous behavior was very strange, no matter from which point of view, it was weird, and her enthusiasm was also different from those outside. Giants are different."

Then, the slightly relaxed smile on Dietrich's face disappeared.

"You mean, this is actually a temptation?"

she asked.

"It's just a guess."

Hodder responded.

"But it's impossible."

But at this moment, it was not Dietrich who refuted, but Hela who had been silent on the sidelines before.

"?"

"..."

However, after that kind of weak rebuttal, she couldn't say anything.

"That... I just don't think she looks like the kind of person with such a scheming heart."

This is just a personal sense.

Even Hela herself understands that strictly speaking, her 'senses' are innumerable.

It's just that this kind of thing is really strange now.

"From before to now, it seems that you have never made such a speech."

"I know."

Hella never speaks for others, because there is no need for that.

She doesn't know it, and she doesn't need to pay attention to it.

For her now, all she needs is to play the role of 'Brunhilde' well.

just now...

"Her music is pure."

After hesitating for a while, she gave this confusing answer.

Then, Howard frowned slightly.

It was impossible for him to let go of this puzzling place.

And after thinking about it carefully, the name Eggers felt a little familiar to him.

Although it is certainly uncommon for him to hear it, where should he have heard of it?

"Happy Agather..."

He muttered slowly.

It seems that there is indeed such a title, but who is it related to?

"What did you say?"

But before he could think about it, Hela asked.

"No, nothing, just now, I think you should think about something."

"what?"

"Name, what name do you plan to use to appear in front of her?"

Then, Hela was stunned again.

He muttered, but couldn't make any sound.

What should I say now?

She seems to have discovered her mistake.

"These things are what you should consider. Don't tell me you haven't thought about anything."

"I……"

She couldn't speak a word.

Chapter 78: Previous names

The name is taboo, that is, the title.

This thing is not a very important thing.

But it is indispensable, because it is a synonym for certain qualities and images, and it refers to a certain existence.

With the passage of time, a seemingly short name taboo has already contained a huge amount of information, and it has even reached the point where it cannot be explained simply by "duplicate names".

For example, Hela.

The entire Nine Realms understand that Hela is the Queen of the Nether who controls death.

In order to avoid the taboo in the world, they will not let their children have the same name as such a god no matter what.

At most, it is just trying to get a little connection with those gods in terms of names and taboos.

But gods of death like Hela are obviously not included. After all, no normal person wants to be involved with 'death'.

However, her other name could not be used either.

"Brünnhilde is the daughter of Odin, and it is still very famous."

Just wrapping his arms around him, Hodder said.

"After all, this is Jotunheim, and even if these giants have been beaten to death by the Asa protoss as Etzel said, they will never mind pouring their anger on that bad old man daughter."

"I know."

Hearing what Huo De said, Hela couldn't help but respond.

Facing the sage's gaze, she shook her head again.

"Besides this, don't I have another layer of identity?"

At first, Hodder himself was a little dazed.

Does this woman have an identity other than the Queen of the Underworld and the daughter of Odin?

Apart from Hela and Brunhilde, what identity can she use now?

But soon, he had an answer in his heart.

Therefore, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"What do you think that thing is?"

"Witches don't count?"

"Witch counts, but you don't have a name."

Hearing this, Hela could even hear a trace of exhaustion in the man's voice.

"For humans, the profession of a witch has always been a mystery. In addition, you have been with me on several trips. Of course, no one will ask anything."

To put it bluntly, in the world, not many people know even the identity of 'Brünnhilde'. She was completely shrouded in the shadow of the sage Hodder and became his wizard partner.

However, this method is limited to the human world.

"In the human world, you can maintain a mysterious attitude, and you can even ignore other people's eyes. After all, no one can find you, but not here."

Hodder said.

"This is Jotunheim, the world of giants, and we'd better not alert anyone."

His fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"Especially here, this city of ash trees is full of fish and dragons."

"I know."

"No, I really don't know what you look like."

Facing Hela's pale and feeble reaction, Hodder had no intention of saving face at all.

"Actually, I really want to ask, what's wrong with you? From the moment I saw Eggser, your mood seems to be wrong."

"I……"

In this regard, Hela couldn't tell the reason at all.

And after being directly mentioned by Huo De on this point, she herself felt a little strange.

What to say now?

Does that mean it's purely a personal feeling?

I don't think she is a bad person?

Simply just feel?

It's not a three-year-old child, and this is not reliable evidence.

"Forget it, it's useless to say these things now. We will soon know what kind of thoughts Eggers has. The important thing now is the 'name'."

"Don't bother!"

Seeing Huo De chattering, Hela couldn't help but feel angry.

However, this anger is not 'anger'.

If I had to say it, it was just dissatisfaction lingering in my heart.

Why are you only talking about me!

The current Hela is such a childish idea.

But, of course she wouldn't just say what was in her heart.

Even she would put it in a slightly more euphemistic way:

"What about you two?"

She just pouted like that.

Although Hela felt that she was already tactful enough, her childish performance still betrayed those small thoughts in her heart.

Moreover, the facts will disappoint her.

"I have a lot of names."

Just wrapping his arms around him, Huo De said calmly.

"At any rate, I am often active in various places, and things like names are easy to come by. For example, I am now a wandering mercenary Hofund (Hofund)."

This couldn't help making Hela gnash her teeth.

"Hod, you just added one syllable!"

"It doesn't matter, it's not my original name anyway, and no one will connect me with a sage in the world."

This is a fact.

When the syllables of the words change, the meaning of the name changes accordingly.

Of course, Hela understood this simple truth.

She couldn't pick any thorns at all, so she turned her gaze to the other side.

"Dietrich..."

Contrary to Hodder's 'vicious' attitude, she looked pitifully at the King of Goths.

Of course she hoped that Dietrich would carry this matter with her.

However, I don't know if it's Hela's own eye contact problem, or some other reason.

Under Hela's expectant gaze, Dietrich just shook her head helplessly.
