You and me under the world tree

In Gripper's view, the most important thing for him now is to help Siegfried return to his country, but to counterattack the Netherlands and revive the rule of the Volsung family requires an army.

In other words, they need to go to the northern seas to win over those pirates.

But before entering the northern waters, shouldn't they take a rest in Yangang?

After all, it was not so easy to prepare the ships or other things, not to mention that Siegfried would have to stay in the palace for a while.

After all, he still has to fulfill the time he promised: to teach Hilda.

Under such circumstances, where can the sages who are peer elders go?

When thinking of this, Griple felt that he really couldn't see through him.

If it is said that he values ​​love and righteousness, every time he leaves, he leaves quietly.

According to what Siegfried inadvertently revealed, this man rarely stays in one place, and only likes to act alone every time.

It was the same a month ago, and he only had one meal in the palace, and then stayed for one night.

As a result, he left quietly the next morning without even saying hello.

Let alone an 'outsider' like Griple, even Siegfried didn't know when he left.

He seemed to see no one around him at all...

But to say that he is an egoist is not the case.

After all, in the atrium world, a person who can keep his promise deserves everyone's respect, and more importantly, he has proved with practical actions that he is not one of those idiots who can't walk when they see treasures.

For a man who has kept a promise for 20 years and has been working hard for it, the word "ruthless" must have no affinity.

Well, this can only be because of the 'character' of the other party.

After all, Gripal had also heard part of Hodder's story from Siegmund. This man didn't seem to be like this recently, he has always been like this.

"Tsk..."

Thinking of this, Gripal couldn't help clenching his fists.

It's not that he's unhappy with the character of the other party.

In fact, Gripper just suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know the soldier who was armed all the time.

As a wise man, this situation is actually unforgivable.

However, Hodder is really like a fog that comes and goes freely but is unpredictable.

Is there really anyone in this world who can understand his laws of action?

"Ok?"

Finally, just as Griple was distracted, he realized that the man had disappeared from his sight.

when?

The old king stared at the surroundings, and a touch of horror could not help but emerge from the bottom of his heart.

Although Iceland's royal palace is relatively 'approachable', the people around them never do noisy things in order to show their respect for the king.

For example, selling fruits and vegetables in front of the palace is absolutely impossible.

There was even no need to expel the guards. There was a large blank area around the palace where the king was.

However, Gripper failed to find that person.

Could it be that he mixed into the crowd?

His eyes turned to the distance, and there were only people coming and going on the side of the houses and on the wide road, as well as small vendors.

After all, it is difficult to eradicate small vendors. Even though there are clear regulations on this in the regulations, they cannot be stopped at any time and run away.

Regarding this, Gripal also turned a blind eye to it, as long as it wasn't too much, he wouldn't bother.

At this moment, the old king's attention was completely on the search of the crowd.

However, there was no trace, and the sage who went there seemed to have never even appeared.

Should we be vigilant, or should we lament the opponent's superb magic?

At this moment, Gripal suddenly realized that his thoughts were completely inseparable from 'magic', which made him smile wryly.

"It's really crazy." He finally expressed such emotion

Yes, stupefied.

When he was young, he habitually used magic to make up for his lack of force, and even bound his idea of ​​notification with magic after he became the queen.

In this case, he habitually wants to control all the unknowns.

He almost forgot that some things cannot be simply 'controlled'.

As Griple, perhaps he should be in awe of the sage's magical attainments.

But as the king of the country of Iceland, he should try to figure out the big picture.

Even so, Hodder's lingering veil of mystery is daunting.

A sage, wise man without laws of action...

Decades ago, what were the thoughts of those kingdom rulers who confronted this sage on the battlefield, Gripal, who had been staying out of it for a long time, felt that he could understand the feelings of those who were calculated to death.

Especially the Hengding family...

King Glenmar, King Hogner, and the rumored wise kings of the Hendin family could not defeat the reckless group Volsunger even if they were tied together.

In addition to the bravery of Siegmund and his children, what is more important is that they were also suppressed strategically.

However, when thinking of this, Gripal couldn't help feeling a pity in his heart.

As an outsider, he has a good impression of the Volsung family who created the legend and can be said to have suppressed an era.

Although Siegmund had lost two children and his wife due to various reasons when he really came into contact with the Volsung family, he himself could be said to be a loner.

But he had also heard of the excellence of Siegmund's children.

The second prince, Helgi, who is most suitable to take on the role of "king", is the "heir" taught by the sage Hod himself, a man who can convince his elder brother Simfiotley, who should have the right of first succession Oral young people.

But, it's really a pity...

Finally, Gripal couldn't help but think of Siegfried, the posthumous son of Siegmund. His neither humble nor overbearing attitude is probably the result of the education of the sages.

Chapter 59: What happened to a guy like him?

Gripel didn't know much about the Prince Helgi, who once rose and shone like a shooting star in the Volsung family, but fell quickly in the end.

From his human and non-human relationships plus a little bit of magic divination, although he can learn more than ordinary people, it is nothing more than that.

He knew the catastrophe that the Volsung family suffered, and he also knew that Helgi was led by the gods and those warriors who were valued by the gods in the Hall of Valor.

You must know that the warriors in the Hall of Valor are not the Midgard of today or before.

Those are the warriors gathered and gathered by the gods after the concept of 'war' was born in the human civilization of the atrium world.

Although the heroic souls selected by the Valkyries are sent to Asgard, not all of them are eligible to enter Odin's Valhalla.

From the moment of death, the heroic souls who want to take on the role of 'Enheria' must go through at least three or more screenings before they are eligible to enter that hall.

So it is conceivable that a young man who died young at the age of 16 or 17 has blazed such a "bloody road" in such an environment, which shows his strength.

Ordinary people praised his bravery, and the gods valued his talent that was rarely seen in thousands of years.

However, Gripper is an 'old man' after all.

He is no longer young, and he is the king who rules the kingdom and keeps his kingdom from war through diplomacy.

Such a man can naturally put aside that insignificant passion and start with the overall situation, and then, under the light of the shining young man, what he saw was the figure of the man named Sage.

Helgi has talent, it's true.

Although Siegmund is extremely brave, in fact, during the war against the Hengding family, it was not Siegmund who was dubbed the honorable name of "Hending Spana" (the man who killed Hengding). It was his second child, Helgi.

On this point, it is enough to explain his strength.

However, the so-called talent needs to be guided.

A child who can make Siegmund boast everywhere is not a person who can only rely on talent to make a living.

In fact, to polish uncut jade into exquisite jade, one's own qualifications are naturally important, because jade can only be polished from uncut jade.

But the "craftsman" who polishes the jade, removes all the impurities around the jade, and makes the jade itself shine is equally important.

And this kind of person is currently doing his best to teach his friend's posthumous child, and this alone is enough to make Gripal feel a little moved.

After all, there are really too many benefits in letting Siegfried and Hilda contact each other.

Of course Siegfried himself is important. After all, he will definitely counterattack the Netherlands in the future and revive the glory of the Volsung family.

The future king of the Netherlands...

This was the definition Gripper gave him, and winning over Siegfried meant that Iceland would have an extra natural ally.

If Hilda and him can proceed smoothly, or even progress faster, they might be able to have a son soon.

At that time, Iceland will not have to worry about the issue of inheritance rights.

Anyway, Siegfried himself is strong and strong, so he didn't have to worry about any heirs at first, and the first child might be handed over to Huo De through various relationships.

but……

"Ugh."

Although Griple's own calculations are sound, all of these are based on the fact that his daughter successfully hooked up with Siegfried.

But in fact, this kind of thing is actually hard to say.

After all, Gripal himself is an experienced person. Although he doesn't know much about the so-called love, he and his wife came together quite naturally.

However, he at least knows that things like feelings are easy to fail even if they do mental calculations without intention, let alone the silly Hilda.

After all, feelings are all about feelings after all...

Thinking of this, Griple couldn't help but sigh.

He felt some headache.

To be honest, who wouldn't want their daughter to find someone who is compatible with each other?

However, as a parent, he always has to check here. After all, no one wants their daughter to be abducted by a scumbag or something.

What's more, he is still the king, and the marriage of his only daughter is always restricted under the expectations of many people.

"My dear girl, please enlighten me..."

Walking in the direction of the garden, the old king was chanting.

However, just when he was hoping so much, there was a sound in his ear that made his stomach ache.

"Who does that guy think he is!!!"

He couldn't be more familiar with this voice, and it could only come from his good daughter.

And when he followed the sound, he found his daughter sitting on the lawn in the garden.

But at this time, she wasn't holding a sword or spear, just holding her legs, looking obviously angry.

Next to her are two women:

One is her best friend Nanna, who is the same age as her, and she hasn't been back during this period.

As a princess of Norway, it seems that it is not a good thing to live in the capitals of other kingdoms for a long time, but this is not the point now.

The face of this understanding girl with a weak personality is just a helpless smile that is almost comforting.

As for the other one is the shield girl in the palace.

Although the maid at this moment is wearing a long skirt, she has a sword hanging from her waist.

Compared with the two princesses, she did not participate in this kind of topic, but just habitually pay attention to the troubles around her.

Therefore, she quickly noticed His Majesty the King approaching.

But just as she was about to bow and speak, Griple shook her head.

He quietly put his finger in front of his lips, signaling the shield girl not to talk too much, and then quietly walked to his daughter's side.

"Father, it's true that you actually found such a person..."
