You and me under the world tree

However, he still did it.

Even if it has no real benefits, at least it can give him a little peace of mind.

What's more, those words he said to Utgarde were not just pure comfort, but also a promise.

Whether Utgard himself believes it or not, Hodder will indeed work in this direction.

"it is good."

After patting his cheek hard, he took a deep breath.

He left Utgarde's house as quickly as possible, and reached the extremely conspicuous castle with ease.

There are still people coming and going here, and there have always been businessmen who want to do business here for a long time and want to buy houses here.

And the adventurers themselves need a foothold.

Exactly what constitutes these adventurers is up for debate, though.

After all, in Hodder's impression, since Midgard established the kingdom and lord system, the army gradually became regularized.

Under such circumstances, adventurers who originally traveled around and could accept commissions at will gradually lost their livelihood and security along the way.

The things they can do have become less and less, and there has never been a gathering of adventurers who can cross the human world and surpass the boundaries of the kingdom.

In this way, the so-called adventurers began to decline.

Although there is no exit from the stage of history, the number is undoubtedly quite rare.

To be honest, when Hodder came to the City of Ash for the first time, he even felt puzzled by it.

Where in the human world are there so many adventurers traveling in Jotunheim?

For these, Hodder was not particularly clear, and he didn't ask or communicate with those so-called adventurers.

This kind of thing should be left to Gloria to have a headache, who made her the city lord?

In this way, with an attitude of having nothing to do with himself, Huo De quickly passed through the consultation hall and came to the door of the office upstairs.

Along the way, some maids seemed to have seen him, but they didn't stop him, thinking that they had already communicated with their mistress before coming.

Following his own memory, Huo De knocked on the door of Gloria's room.

"dong dong dong"

Basic courtesy must be said.

And a voice soon came from inside the study:

"Please come in."

With the sound, the door opened automatically.

And Hodder soon saw three people in the office:

Dietrich, Hella, and Gloria were sitting on the seats.

"Is everything done?"

Dietrich asked.

"Well, it's over, we don't need to stay here anymore."

"Ah."

Dietrich nodded slowly.

She quickly turned her gaze to Gloria.

"Then please."

"Ah."

Gloria didn't stop there, she just re-examined the three-person team in front of her, and then walked to the door of the office.

"Come with me, I'll find something to send you to the central mountain."

"Have you spoken to her?"

"Well, we have communicated before."

Of course Dietrich couldn't do nothing.

When meeting with Gloria, the two sides communicated in the shortest and fastest way.

Naturally, the so-called pseudonym used by Eggers would not work here, so Dietrich naturally brought out her real name.

There is no need to shy away from anything, after all, Gloria's position is quite clear.

"I said I knew Zebul, and she said she could send us to the central peak."

"Not directly to your friend's palace?"

"No, to be honest, between Gloria and Zebul..."

Speaking of this, Dietrich's expression was a little delicate.

"How to say it?"

"Unfamiliar?"

"No, it should be said that there is a grudge?"

When it came to the end, Dietrich's voice couldn't help but become much softer.

"Have a grudge?"

For a moment, Huo De himself was a little dazed.

How can there be hatred for this?

Didn't it mean that Wavrunil, the wise giant king, has always been aloof from the world?

Besides, the 'Princess Zebul' that Dietrich said would not look down on any living beings, and was extremely friendly to humans.

Such a character would make enemies with others?

"Maybe we shouldn't say there's a grudge?"

Just when Hodder was in a daze, Dietrich added.

"It can only be said that they seem to know each other, but it seems that there is an obvious contradiction. When I talked about Zebul, her expression was a little ugly."

"you!"

At this moment, a voice came directly from the front.

It's Gloria.

She, who was leading the way, turned around directly.

"You are too slow."

Before Hodder and Dietrich could respond, Gloria said with a blank expression.

That's right.

They who have been following Gloria's footsteps have been several steps behind in order to be able to speak in a low voice.

However, Huo De always had such a bad feeling.

He always felt that Gloria seemed to have heard their discussion.

Not only Hodder thought so, but Dietrich also thought the same.

So, after looking at each other, they just hurriedly followed without saying anything more.

And that inexplicably revealing guilty conscience inevitably made Hela, who had always been like a good baby, curl her lips.

"Let you talk about others behind their backs."

Then, the three of them followed Gloria downstairs and went directly to the underground space of the castle.

This is a huge but simple man-made space, and the surroundings are engraved with seemingly mysterious runes.

But here is not a place worth nostalgia, because whether it is the dim lighting or the debris piled inside, it has already conveyed its identity: warehouse.

Moreover, it is still a messy warehouse.

There were random things in it, and there were all kinds of boxes among them, and there were piles of jewels, gold coins, and even dust on them.

As for the magic inscribed around it, it is actually the most basic protective function.

how to say?

Just looking at it like this, Huo De felt that he had entered the cellar of some nouveau riche.

However, Gloria is obviously not an upstart.

"Don't look at me, here are all your human gold coins and treasures, you don't need them here."

Gloria's words made Huo De hesitate to speak.

Good guy, why don't you just throw it in the trash?

This seems...pretty normal?

"So what did you bring us here for?"

"Just looking for something, I threw it here before."
