You and me under the world tree

Gloria is the one who makes the decisions, and of course she is the person 'Hoffind' is talking about now.

"Don't misunderstand her."

After all, she still found a chance to speak out her thoughts.

This is the root cause of her feeling uncomfortable. An optimist like her doesn't care if she is misunderstood or hated.

But she doesn't want any conflicts among her friends, which will lead to another eternal problem:

How to speak so that the other party will not think that he is putting on a position.

In particular, it is a relatively sensitive ethnic topic.

"How should I put it, in fact, this itself can be regarded as 'protection'."

Having said that, Eggers just sighed.

And her big beautiful eyes blinked like this, eager to see a change in Hodder's face.

But the problem is, she is tall.

Although the height of more than four meters and close to five meters is average among the frost giants, she couldn't help but face a human being.

Huo De's current body is not much different from his body in modern society in terms of height, which is about 1.8 meters.

This kind of figure that could already be considered slender was nothing in front of giants.

But now, as long as Hodder lowers his head like that, she won't be able to see anything.

But even so, what has to be said always has to be said.

"You humans are very fragile, and it takes time for law enforcement to be in place instantly. Even if you can detect it immediately, you may not be able to catch up... This is actually a measure to protect you."

Then, she just looked at the surrounding houses that were still bright, those huge hotels and taverns.

"Most ordinary people will choose to live in human hotels."

Gloria said this.

"That kind of house is small, and it is generally built by Gloria. It is her property, which is protected by magic."

In other words, it is the best sanctuary for ordinary humans.

"Once there is something wrong with those houses, Gloria will be able to notice it very quickly, so ordinary giants, or those maggots hiding in the dark, don't have the guts to touch her."

After all, she is the lord of the city, and she is also a veteran wizard who is proficient in magic and has lived from the second Nine Realms War between giants and gods.

This age group is even older than Thor, the God of Thunder who is in the limelight today.

But, right now, that's not the point at all.

Hodder instead captures other interesting things in her words.

"A maggot hiding in the dark?"

"Well, in fact, this city is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface. You may have seen it today. The spies of the gods are active here all the time. Some of them have their own disguised identities, and they also like to do dirty things."

"for example?"

"Using magic to change other people's minds, and actively turning them into your own eyeliner, this kind of thing also exists, and I have caught a lot of them in the past few years."

"Eh... that's it."

Howard couldn't help being a little surprised.

But this kind of surprise is not aimed at this state in the City of Ash Trees.

In this trading city, ghosts and snakes are the most likely to be mixed with gods, and this is obviously what Su Dong and Gloria want to see.

The moment this city appeared, it was destined to become a place where fish and dragons mixed up.

And he was not surprised by the methods adopted by the gods. Anyway, the Asa protoss are so virtuous, and their servants are of course disgusting.

The only surprise to him was that Eggers would actually put this kind of thing on the surface.

Or, she actually told him this kind of thing.

"This kind of thing is your secret. Is it okay to tell me that? Are you afraid that I am Asa's spy or eyeliner?"

"You won't be."

As for this point, Eggers seems to be very sure.

"I don't want you to be either."

Chapter 23: Trust? No, Pride

Because I have already made a judgment, and because I don't want the other party to be a potential enemy, I will naturally share with others some things that should have been reserved.

From an emotional point of view, this statement should seem deeply moving, because it is an expression of trust-in theory, it should be so.

But thinking from a rational point of view, these words sounded like a strong sense of self-will—and it should have been like this.

And once you look at these two points together, you will find quite interesting things.

Eggers seems to be a man who can't keep secrets and is emotional.

In other words, she doesn't seem to be able to keep any secrets.

Some things also blurted out quickly.

And this kind of character on her body seems extremely contradictory.

"Hope? Believe?"

Hodder's expression became subtle.

"This kind of statement actually... sounds very unreliable."

"You're not the first person to say that."

Regarding this point, Eggers did not express any angry attitude.

Even though Hodder's words may have vaguely questioned her, she still smiled.

"It's just that I have never made a mistake in seeing people. It has always been like this."

Vaguely, Hodder felt a strange atmosphere.

He felt that Eggers had changed. This change was a subtle change in temperament, but the senses were completely different.

This is self-confidence and arrogance.

Under the moonlight, her beautiful appearance and figure seemed to exude some kind of oppressive force.

Her hands were spread out like this, and the shadow stretched very long.

"I think you and them are trustworthy, isn't that enough reason?"

Agather said so.

"Or do you have other identities?"

The question was light, but there was a strong pressure in Hodder's ears.

After all, she is the night watchman of this area again.

It looks like they are patrolling around the Iron Forest and Ash City.

And because of the terrain and location, this job is not something that ordinary people can do.

If you think about it in another way, Hodder will also hand over the important duty of night watchman to someone he knows and trusts.

However, this is not something that any 'friend' can take on.

Gloria wouldn't be so blind. Seeing that Eggers had a good relationship with him, she was allowed to take up such a position.

It doesn't match what she's been doing all along.

This position seems to be very important now, because it cannot be viewed alone, but must be viewed in conjunction with other decrees and rules formulated by Gloria.

Thinking of this, Hodder couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Before that, he got a very important news from Eggers.

That's about the hotel.

According to Eggers, the human hotels in the City of Ash Tree belong to Gloria, and the runes of the city lord are also engraved on them.

Eggers said that this was to protect those humans and buildings from being destroyed, and it also allowed her to detect abnormalities in the first place.

It doesn't sound like a problem, but as a wizard, I actually heard some other meanings.

Protection is right, but combined with the ban on humans, this level of protection actually puts those humans under the nose of her city lord.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is surveillance.

Then think about the restriction on purchasing real estate, and you can discover Gloria's course of action.

She was all for the spies.

Not only did they limit their own scope of action, but they also built a huge trading city to force spies who wanted to listen to news in Jotunheim to gather in this city.

Then there are restrictions on the purchase of real estate, and you must pass the test of the city lord before you can buy a house or something.

Combined with the prohibition of night, most of humanity has to stay in hotels.

Guys who go out without authorization are either bold, or they have ghosts in their hearts and have their own purposes.

The former basically has no such possibility, because of the huge difference between humans and giants, most people are used to acting according to Gloria's rules.

As for the latter, it must be viewed in conjunction with another profession.

That's the setup of the night watchman.

After this combination of punches, not to mention all cleaned up, it became impossible for the Asa protoss to continue to plant spies in Jotunheim.

To put it bluntly, whether it is the so-called assessment of the purchase of real estate, the existence of a large number of hotels and the establishment of night watchmen, these should be treated together.

Even if there is no foreign population to settle, the trading city will continue to prosper, because it must prosper itself, and Sudong will never give up on it anyway.

Well, since Gloria can come up with such an arrangement, will she make mistakes in the selection of the night watchman when she plays this set of combined punches?

Absolutely not.

So what is the reason for Eggers' appointment as night watchman?

Just staring at the giantess, Hodder felt as if he had understood the reason.

Of course she was still Eggers, Hodder could confirm that.

Speaking of which, when she was delivering supper to Utgard before, Hodder had a vague feeling about this.

He subconsciously felt that Eggers was not the kind of simple silly white sweet she showed.

But at that time, he hadn't been able to fully determine it, after all, the giant wolf itself also possessed oppressive power.

But now, this feeling is even clearer.

Therefore, he can be sure that the aura really came from Eggers himself.

And this kind of powerful aura is enough to tear up any previous guesses and doubts.

first impression?

Like to compromise and apologize?Value the atmosphere?

Let it go.

Eggers was never the cowardly, uninitiated type of person.

Of course she maintains a friendly attitude towards humans, but the basis of that friendship and trust is her own judgment.

In other words, she was confident in her judgment.

Perhaps for this woman, the only weakness seems to be that vocabulary.

friend……

Because of this, she was anxious and wanted to explain something before.

Howard has figured it out.

The seemingly cheerful enthusiasm and the trust shown now are not so much trust in him, a friend who has just met, but trust in himself.

Her pride was not fully revealed like ordinary people, but it was completely hidden and unswervingly turned into her own actions.
