You and me under the world tree

Without denying anything, Utgard just laughed.

Then, he picked up the wine glass and slowly took a sip.

"He is usually proud and conceited, no one pays attention to him, and he is also a drunkard. Even if he doesn't fall into my hands, he will fall into other people's hands."

Hearing these words that should be regarded as justifications, Huo De couldn't help but stop talking.

"It sounds like you're trying to help him quit drinking?"

"It's not like quitting alcohol, but he didn't drink for a long time after that, and it seemed to impress him."

Do you not drink at all?

The hearty face of the giant named Bailey emerged in Hodder's mind.

Although they only met once, and Hodder didn't think that the short conversation would give him a sudden understanding of the giant.

But at least, the giant named Bailey has shown his character.

To put it bluntly, it is called hearty, but to put it bluntly, Huo De felt that his brain might not be so easy to use.

"He also said that he would find time to buy me a drink."

Hodder said.

"Normal. After all, he can't really quit drinking completely, and I just made such a little joke with him."

Cheating on a bet and taking the necklace that his sister gave him, of course, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, but it is also not an earth-shattering event.

And the measure of all this depends on the attitude of the giant named Bailey towards his family.

"He should love his family very much, especially his sister."

Hodder said.

"Basically, this incident scared him enough... But of course, it may also be because he is afraid of his sister, or simply because he is afraid of drinking."

"..."

Hodder didn't speak, but his expression vaguely revealed a thoughtful attitude.

Although he didn't think too deeply, he found that such a thing was possible, and this directly affected his own evaluation of the giant named Pele.

"so……"

He spoke slowly.

But before he could finish, Utgarde laughed.

"Okay, I'm lying to you, Bailey loves his family very much, whether it's his parents or his sister, these are the existences he values ​​the most... Another secret thing to tell you."

"what?"

"Bailey is a sister-controller. In the past, he often talked about his sister, and he was sincerely happy to have that lovely and understanding sister."

"cute……"

Thinking carefully about the figure of the giant Bailey who might be taller than Utgard, the corners of Hodder's mouth couldn't help twitching.

"After all, it is viewed from the eyes of your giants."

Anyway, Huo De still upholds that too much, and he doesn't think that human beings can stand the kind of "cuteness" that the giant said.

At the beginning, Dietrich also said that the dead giant warrior Ike thought that the jewel in the palm of the wise giant king was very cute.

But I asked casually before, good guy, the normal state of Princess Zebul is more than ten meters.

"It's really cute, it's only a few hundred years old, and she has always maintained the appearance of a child."

"The child in the giant's cognition?"

"It's the same with you humans."

Utgarde just shook his head.

"Now, she should still be playing in some corner of Midgard."

"She went to Midgard?"

"Well, of course it's to hide her identity, but it's mainly because her father wants to observe the recent movements of the gods."

"Then their disguise should be quite perfect."

After pondering for a moment, Hodder spoke.

At least he hasn't heard any news of giants haunting such-and-such a place in Midgard recently.

If the giant is not hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, then it should be disguised as a human being.

"Of course, they are extremely talented in magic, and they didn't leave Jotunheim as giants, so no one knows."

Then, Hodder thought of the giant he had chatted with before.

"So, Bailey opened a shop in the City of Ash Trees to wait for his father and sister to come back?"

"Yeah, he is very worried about his sister, after all, he doesn't know when he will be abducted by a god from somewhere."

"what?"

For a moment, Huo De felt that his mind was a little out of control.

"Abduction?"

"Ah."

As if very satisfied with the look of the sage on earth at this moment, Utgarde nodded slowly.

"Didn't I tell you before that Bailey's sister has always maintained the appearance of a child?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"There is a reason for that. Generally speaking, a giant who is several hundred years old should be a young and beautiful girl. After all, without special means and without any special talents, an ordinary giant can only have a lifespan of a few thousand years." .”

That's thousands of years.

Dude, this is outrageous.

Although Hodder was not ignorant of this, he still felt a strong sense of helplessness at this moment.

"So, what's going on?"

They had a prophecy from Wavrunir, the wise giant king.

"what?"

"There will be gods who will take a fancy to this girl's beauty and force her to marry her."

"what……"

Suddenly, Hodder had such a strong sense of déjà vu.

He always felt as if he had read similar stories somewhere.

"Is it to marry her?"

"Yes."

"Not as a lover?"

"Well, but not many people know about it. Bailey himself is hiding it. As for me, I know it from Wavrunier."

Then Hodder lowered his head.

"Well, what's the name of Bailey's sister?"

"It used to be Gerd, but now it's changed. Her name is Gilda."

Then Hodder narrowed his eyes.

"Gorde..."

Chapter No.16: Treasure of Asgard?

Maybe it's because Hodder looks a little strange now.

Keenly aware of this, Utgarde also raised his eyebrows.

"What? You know her?"

"No, I do not know."

Howard just shook his head.

But this is clearly lying.

Although Hodder is not particularly familiar with this name, he is by no means unfamiliar.

Such a giantess also has no chapter legend of her own, but her story is bound to another existence.

That existence is called Frey, the current king of elves, the god of fertility, and the lord of the glorious kingdom.

The legend clearly records that because Frey sat on the supreme throne, he obtained a vision overlooking the Nine Realms.

And when he was patrolling the world, he found a beautiful beauty in the kingdom of giants.

This is the giantess Gerd.

Although the legend didn't describe Gerd's appearance, so Huo De didn't know Gerd...or just how beautiful Gilda is today.

However, he could still see this from some side descriptions—for example, the reactions shown by Frey, the king of elves.

Legend has it that Frey, who has always been calm, cheerful, and quite like a king, has been unable to sleep at night since he spied Gerd's beauty.

He doesn't think about tea, doesn't want to eat, and even abandons his duties as a king.

Such a god of abundance is full of Ged's appearance in his mind. For this reason, as a god, he became visibly thinner, and even became ill because of it.

This was quickly noticed by Niord, the god of the sea, who went to visit his children.

Niord, who is eager to love his son, soon asks his friend Skinnier, who is supposed to be Frey's attendant but actually just hangs out, to go to the kingdom of giants to visit the beautiful giantess Gerd.

And Skinier lived up to his trust, and after running back and forth twice, he successfully brought Gerd back.

Gerd and Frey got married in a beautiful forest named 'Bari' in Alfheim.

This is probably the outline of the whole story.

But there are some places that destroy the three views.

It may be that the rulers of the Asa Protoss are accustomed to domineering. As Frey's friend, Skynell, who went to lobby the giantess Gerd and her family, has a not very good attitude.

At the beginning, he was still polite, advancing and retreating with restraint, and praised Frey, the rich king of elves, in every possible way in front of Gerd.

But after Ge De upheld the frost giant's usual attitude of disgust and lack of interest in treating gods, and after he refused to enter, Skirner became anxious.

After getting anxious, he began to show his true nature and began to threaten Gerd in every possible way.

Not only did she say that she would kill her family, but she even said that she would use the magic sword in her hand to destroy the entire world and plunge the kingdom of giants into a sea of ​​flames.

Can Skirner do it himself?

Can the sword in his hand do this?

Put a question mark on this aspect first, anyway, the attitude he showed is disgusting.

However, according to the legend, although Gerd is proficient in magic, she is essentially a weak woman.

In this regard, the legend is divided into two types of expansion.

One version thinks that Gerd herself is a timid girl, she was directly frightened by the threat of Skirner, so she directly agreed to be Frey's wife.

But because she was still a little worried, she asked Frey to take her sword as a bride price and hid it in the kingdom of giants.

In the other version, the general development is actually the same, the only difference lies in Gerd's mentality as the person involved.

In this version, Gerd is not afraid of Frey and Skirner, and she herself is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that her father, brother and innocent people in Jotunheim will suffer bad luck for this.

Therefore, under the coercion of Skinnier, Gerd finally left Jotunheim after his parents and children ensured the safety and secrecy of Frey's saber, and went to Alfheim to marry Frey.

And that was all Hodder had heard.

It may be because of the gap in cognition and the conflict of the three views. In fact, Hodder always feels a little uncomfortable when reading the so-called love stories in Norse mythology.

For example, the story of Baldur falling in love with Nanna includes spying on her bathing.

Although from the perspective of the story, this is to bring out the beauty of Princess Nanna, but it is a bit weird no matter how you look at it.
