You and me under the world tree

"Of course it was to protect me."

Wally said coldly.

His eyes turned to that woman Gloria.

"After all, no one wants me alive."

"But no one will deliberately harm you."

Gloria said.

"Of course I don't like the child of that old man who is promiscuous, but neither I nor Su Dong will harm an innocent woman and child."

This is the obvious thing.

After all, although the final compromise was close to house arrest, Su Dong still sent his girl over to take care of Linde, who might be disabled.

"Then why did it happen! If it's what you say it is, why did things turn out like that?"

"do not know."

Facing Valina's obviously angry eyes, Gloria shook his head.

She just averted her gaze, and then closed her eyes.

"Actually, until now, I don't understand why things have come to that point."

"She probably thinks that you can't be trusted when you say bad things about that old thing."

Then, Gloria suddenly opened her eyes.

She looked at the man who spoke—Hodder.

However, she didn't open her mouth to refute anything.

She just looked at him like this, and gradually, the breathing seemed to become more rapid.

Later, Gloria even coughed slightly.

"Why, don't you want to believe it?"

Seeing Gloria's uncomfortable posture, Huo De couldn't help but ask.

Then, he smiled lightly.

"However, this kind of thing is understandable. After all, no one wants to believe that a friendship of thousands of years can't compare with that bad old man who never cared about her life."

"..."

In fact, Hodder's tone has been kept as calm as possible.

But in the ears of some central characters, it is inevitable to feel a strong sense of mockery.

And Valli behaved more like he was greatly stimulated:

"what do you mean?!"

"It's nothing interesting, it's just stating certain facts."

fact……

The word immediately blocked Vali.

For the fact is that her mother escaped and thought the giant was after her.

However, Gloria said that she never had such an idea.

It was actually more of a search than a hunt.

"impossible."

Thinking of this, Vali couldn't help biting his lips.

"My mother she must be..."

"She loves you as a child, and she has chosen the so-called love, which does not conflict."

"..."

"But it's really ridiculous to say that the friend who tried his best to keep her safe didn't give her a sense of security. On the contrary, it was the lover who never sheltered her, and even ignored her, which made her yearn for it very much."

It's almost like tearing away the beautiful impression that has been formed all along.

In their place are cold, negative descriptors.

Fickle and selfish.

"From this point of view, she seems to be the same person as Grid? But she is much better than Grid, at least she doesn't think of harming friends and relatives."

"enough!"

Finally, Gloria, who had been silent for a long time, broke out.

She yelled, and then began to breathe deeply again.

"I am also responsible for this."

Gloria pursed her lips.

"Maybe it was my wishful thinking to force her, or maybe I didn't think it through."

At this moment, the giantess closed her eyes tightly, as if she was enduring something.

And her emotional expression also proves that she has nothing to hide.

The whole thing seemed crystal clear.

"There is no persecution, there is no pursuit, maybe it's just pure... trust, no more."

Chapter 63: So be sure to communicate

And on the other side.

Exactly the same topic was unfolding on the banks of the wide, turbulent river outside the City of Ash.

However, because He Fulin herself was never a party, but a pure bystander, she was not very emotional.

And also as an outsider, Dietrich felt deeply confused after listening to her narration.

There was no entanglement, no other messy things, and she quickly noticed the most abnormal part of this matter.

"Could it be that it's just pure trust?"

After hesitating for a while, she still asked this crucial question.

"Is there really no other factor?"

"I am not sure."

Facing this sensitive question that directly pointed to the truth, Hefelin shook her head.

"You should understand, Dietrich, my position and identity determine that I cannot forcibly intervene."

After hearing this, Dietrich also sighed helplessly.

She always felt that she was in a complicated mood.

Because that is the case with Hefeline and her nine sisters.

And if you want to say why, of course it's because of their identity as the "incarnation of the ocean" that is completely different from giants and gods.

This position determines their detached status in the Nine Realms.

Because no matter who rules the Nine Realms, this will not affect their status.

And over time, there was such a tacit understanding.

They can be friends with people at will, but they will never interfere in anything.

Even if, in a sense, they have friends in all races.

It's warm, it's true.

But also ruthless.

And this characteristic also determines that although they have friends everywhere, there are not many people who can really walk into their hearts.

The strong are bound to be involved with those two contradictory races, while the weak will never be able to avoid something called the 'theory of longevity'.

After all, this world is so beautiful and cruel, full of regret and pain.

And in this way, they have learned to watch from the sidelines, just watching it as some kind of drama.

"We will not ask too much, nor will we take the initiative and participate in anything."

In front of Dietrich, she said this.

Then Hefeline just laughed.

But in Dietrich's eyes, that kind of smile felt helpless no matter how you looked at it.

"Just like getting along with you now, I will never ask you why you cheated Eggsor, nor will I ask you what you are going to do when you return to Jotunheim."

"actually……"

"Stop, stop, there's no need to talk."

Just when Dietrich looked as if she was about to say something, Heffline herself stopped it right away.

"I said, I don't know how to ask, so don't talk about it, after all, sometimes it will be very troublesome."

"I believe you."

"But I don't believe in myself, and I don't want our position to be broken."

"..."

Dietrich just fell silent.

"So, only like Zebul can be your bosom friend?"

"No, actually you are my friend too."

Facing Dietrich's subtle words, Heffline denied it without even thinking about it.

"After all, no one has stipulated that close friends cannot have their own secrets, right?"

"Too."

"But you're right about one thing. Zebul and I have a better relationship than anyone else, because her situation is different from everyone else's."

Speaking of this, Hefelin couldn't help but cast her eyes to the distance, which is the direction where the sun is.

And if you look carefully, you can find a peak under the sun, which is the highest mountain in Jotunheim, called the Peak of Wisdom.

"You understand? Because she doesn't get involved in anything, I can have a lot to say with her."

"Ok, I know."

Dietrich nodded slowly.

"Actually, you can too."

Staring at the white-haired girl, Hefeline said.

"I said a long time ago that if you are willing to give up those things in the world, you can also live this kind of relaxed and leisurely life."

After hearing Hefelin's words suddenly, Dietrich was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head helplessly.

Long ago, Hevelynn had indeed said such things.

And it's not just her, even Zebul has mentioned it.

But in the final analysis, this is because they, as friends, don't want to see her "suffer" at the beginning.

Concealing one's identity and being a prince or even a king all one's life, or even deceiving the gods in a sense, is definitely not a good day.

But now, Hefelin brought up these things again, which made Dietrich feel nostalgic and helpless at the same time.

"You really don't know why I came to Jotunheim?"

"..."

Hefeline was silent for a moment.

"I don't care much about that, and I don't want to ask."
