You and me under the world tree

Just a seemingly random question left these women speechless.

"It's nothing more than a servant who lives here and can be bought and sold at will. Do you regard yourself as the master here?"

Before Skadi's voice fell completely, they knelt on the ground in fear.

"That's not the case, Your Highness, we..."

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk to you guys. Anyway, I'm just sending my friends over."

Scanning casually around the women kneeling on the ground, Skadi turned her gaze to Hodder.

"That's it, I'll send it here, and I'll pick you up later."

"Do you know what time it is?"

Howard asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Zebul told me."

"Well, then I'll take care of you."

Without asking anything carefully, Huo De wanted to jump down.

However, he suddenly turned around.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

"what?"

"I heard that your father was an excellent craftsman?"

Hearing Hodder's question all of a sudden, Skadi's expression was a little complicated.

"Yes, but it was a long time ago. He used to be the number one craftsman of the giant clan."

Skadi's tone contained some taste of hatred for iron and steel.

"Yeah, I got it."

Before Skadi gets completely angry, he jumps off the dragon.

At this moment, he suddenly felt those probing sights and gazes.

Even though they were kneeling on the ground, these maids of Diaz still noticed his existence.

Obviously, they were curious about Hodder's identity.

It is necessary to 'explain' things in this regard, but there is no need to explain clearly, after all, his current identity is Skadi's friend.

Thinking of this, he turned around and waved enthusiastically to the giantess.

"Then I'll ask you to pick me up later! Goodbye!"

He repeated the previous conversation again, seemingly without any nutrition.

And under this kind of passionate farewell, the dragon soared up.

Skadi left, and from her expression, Huo De could see that she may have nostalgia for this former home, but now there is more loathing.

Regardless of whether it is for Skadi or for Diaz, she should leave, because there are some things that she should not know.

"That... May I ask who of you can lead the way?"

Facing those women who were only wearing thin swimsuits, Hodder tried his best to be as kind as possible.

And perhaps because this kindness began to take effect, those women who were panicked quickly calmed down.

They looked at each other, and after a while, a representative was introduced to ask questions.

"excuse me, you are……"

"Me? I'm Skadi's friend."

Howard returned a somewhat shy look.

"I begged for a long time before I asked her to bring me here."

Chapter 69: The Inexplicable Scent

friend.

Begging her for a long time?

These words are easy to understand separately, but when they are put together, it stands out that it is difficult to understand.

So, what was he coming here for?

While looking at each other, a woman slowly took a step forward.

"In short, you are His Highness's friend... right?"

"Yes."

Looking at the maid who stood up, Huo De replied with a smile.

"I met her during a trip and a hunt."

"travel……"

After hearing this word, the maid's puzzled expression suddenly stretched out.

According to her understanding, the 'Princess of the Ocean' who ran away from home does have the habit of traveling abroad.

"Then you are here because..."

At this time, Huode showed a puzzled look just right.

This kind of doubt is so simple on the surface, enough to be noticed by those around him, including the maid who was elected to talk to him.

She realized that with her current status, she obviously shouldn't ask questions.

Skadi's previous questioning and ridicule are still lingering in her ears, and she is unwilling to make any more misunderstandings in this regard.

"If you need to pass on, you always need a reason."

"It's nothing, it's just that I am interested in some small objects, tools, etc., and then I encountered some bottlenecks during production."

"Objects and tools?"

"Ah."

At this moment, Hodder just took two steps back, and then looked at his hands again.

"Speaking of it, don't believe it. In fact, I am also a craftsman. I usually do some designs by myself sometimes."

"Ah...well, so you're here to..."

"It's here to learn."

Facing the maid's awkward and puzzled eyes, Hodder responded with a smile.

But facing his smiling gaze, the maid seemed a little embarrassed.

"Study... is it?"

"Yes, what's the question?"

"No, no."

Although until now, Huode didn't know her name, but in his eyes, this woman still possessed a certain professionalism.

After all, she was still Diaz's maid, so she quickly adjusted her mentality and emotions completely.

"Do you have to visit him now?"

But what was strange was that she started to ask such nonsense questions again.

"I came here just to visit Lord Diaz and ask him something about craftsmanship."

"So, could you please wait here a moment?"

"..."

Then, the maid felt the strange gaze that hesitated to speak.

The man in front of her seemed to have guessed something, which made her scalp tingle.

"Please wait a moment, during this time, you can rest here for a while."

After saluting, the maid quickly started to walk towards the magnificent palace.

As for Hodder, he simply stayed where he was.

Now he didn't mean to walk around and enjoy the scenery.

On the contrary, he showed a strong interest in the performance of these women.

"Is Lord Diaz busy now?"

"Eh? Ah, this... is busy."

When Hodder threw this question to the other maids, those women also looked around and changed the subject.

The ruddy, ashamed look on their faces can almost be regarded as a constant hint of a certain result to some extent.

Combined with Skadi's attitude of not wanting to see his father at all, the truth is actually ready to come out.

"It's ridiculous."

he said in a low voice.

Now, he can only hope that the giant king can be a little more reliable.

At least when meeting, don't go too far.

Based on the concept of morality, Hodder looks forward to this.

However, from a strategic point of view, maybe Diaz really is as ridiculous as possible?

For a moment, Huo De felt that he had no way to guess the direction of this matter.

But now, he can only continue to wait.

And the maid who went to report didn't make him wait too long, and after about half an hour, she quickly returned in a luxurious carriage.

Well, it just looks luxurious.

The compartment of the carriage exudes a magical atmosphere, but the two horses are indeed ordinary horses, so ordinary that Hodder feels that he may have returned to the human world.

"Please get in the car, guest, His Majesty wants to see you."

"Don't you need to give him some time to prepare?"

"Your Majesty said no."

"Oh……"

After getting into the carriage, Hodder felt numb all over.

The interior of the carriage has obviously been expanded by magic.

Although it looks like a small carriage from the outside, it looks like it can hold two or three humans, but the inside is as big as a room.

Hodder saw not only a bed, but also a small table with various fruits on it.

There are also some snacks and drinks.

This kind of arrangement can't be fixed by Huo De at once, it's not because he is a country bumpkin who has never enjoyed this kind of extravagant life.

But you must know that this is Jotunheim, the world of giants. It is outrageous that a carriage is not built according to the size of a giant, but completely fits the "thin" figure of a human being. An ordinary carriage through and through.

What to say?

Toy?

Hodder even believes it may have been Diaz's handiwork.

"Calm down, maybe this is just a vehicle for receiving guests."

Because there are all kinds of visitors, it is a normal choice to receive them with transportation that fits the body type.

Just like that, Hodder sat on a chair with complicated emotions and waited.

Soon, a voice came from outside.

"Guest, we have arrived."
