You and me under the world tree

"Within the Nine Realms?"

"Do not."

She shook her head at that.

"It was outside the Nine Realms. When I was traveling, I met a human friend in other worlds."

"That's it."

Listening to what Skadi said, Hodder just shook his head.

In this regard, he couldn't say anything more to comfort him, it seemed too stupid and too deliberate.

"If it's not within the Nine Realms, I'm afraid... there is no chance of recovery."

"Yes, there doesn't seem to be any such thing as ghosts in that world. If it's just an ordinary person, he will return to heaven and earth after a hundred years."

"Ah."

Howard just listened quietly.

He did not continue to express his views, because what Skadi needs now is not any external evaluation.

She was just talking like this, and all Hodder needed to do was to listen quietly.

"At that time, I made the same mistake as you."

"Same mistake as me..."

Howard sighed too.

"You don't take into account how different they are from you?"

"Well, I subconsciously ignored the difference between the 'human' race and us, made friends with them without permission, and made an appointment to visit them later, and when I set foot on that land again, I couldn't see anything. "

Perhaps, there is no thrilling adventure in this process.

With Skadi's character, she didn't want any substantive rewards or benefits for her travels outside.

In other words, she actually rarely has feuds.

Hodder can imagine a specific picture.

She may have made some friends in other places called 'different worlds', and then lived there for a while.

Then make an appointment to visit again in the future.

This agreement has always been hidden in Skadi's heart, but because of the problem of time concept, she may not realize the mistakes she made.

And when she finally returned to the place agreed at the beginning, everything changed.

"How many years?"

"More than 120 years, this period of time is not a long time for us frost giants."

"But for humans, that's probably the whole life...even for some of the 'worried' people, it's been two lifetimes."

"Well, so humans and giants are different. No matter which side it is, it is very difficult to be friends with each other."

No matter what the other worlds are like, in terms of the interior of the Nine Realms, the humans in Midgard and the giants in Jotunheim are also very different.

An ordinary human can't resist the aging of the body and the passage of life. Under the daily labor, it may die in six to seventy years, while the giant's view of time is calculated in the span of thousands of years.

"In short, that's it, Hodder, humans are different from giants, and I hope you can understand this."

"Of course I know."

Howard responded with a smile.

But this response seems to have aroused Skadi's dissatisfaction, and she just narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"You know you do stupid things like this?"

As for this reprimand, Hodder did not continue to argue.

Skadi is obviously obsessed with this, and she can give her a reprimand if she wants to.

On the contrary, it would not be good to continue to be stubborn, after all, some things should not be known yet.

only……

"I suddenly have a question, Skadi."

Suddenly, Hodder just turned around.

"what?"

"What do you think of today's 'world'?"

"Ok?"

Probably because he didn't expect that Hodder would suddenly throw this question directly, Skadi couldn't help showing a distressed expression.

"I thought...you probably wouldn't ask me this kind of question."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because neither you, Dietrich, nor Zebul have ever told me about this matter."

Having said that, Skadi calmly folded his arms around his chest.

"Then this also means that you have been hiding it from me from the beginning, don't you?"

Vaguely, Hodder could hear the resentment in Skadi's words.

As a friend, she has not been proactively told some inside information, which of course makes her unhappy.

It's just that her current tone revealed some other meanings.

Thinking of this, Hodder subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

"Speaking of which, from your tone of voice, you seem to know what I want to do?"

"I can guess a little bit. After all, I just left Su Dong's house, went to Fabuti's place, and then came to the old man's place again. It's hard not to let people think about it."

Well, it looks like she's clueless about some things.

After hearing Skadi say that, Hodder was convinced of this.

But what he said verbally was another story.

"Indeed, this kind of thing is indeed quite obvious."

Then, he changed the subject.

"So I'm not here to ask your views and opinions?"

"What? Want to pull me into the gang?"

"Well, you can think so."

Facing Skadi's teasing gaze, Hodder nodded slowly.

"To be honest, I came to Jotunheim this time to find allies. Su Dong is one, and Farbouti is one. Unfortunately, we didn't fully agree with Farbouti."

Regarding this matter, Huo De did not say too clearly, it is always right to be vague anyway.

"Then you don't intend to rely on Dietrich for your own power?"

"To be precise, including Dietrich, I am sure to integrate the human world."

Then, Skadi just narrowed his eyes.

"But... you should know, right? I'm living in the territory of that guy Solem, what do you think of my attitude towards Asa?"

Chapter 78: The Lonely Grave

Solem.

The Hustle King of the Frostlands.

Also as the giant king, his own attitude is very subtle.

First of all, he is indeed one of the five giant kings of Jotunheim, which is recognized.

Even until now, he has ruled the icy 'Sollemheim', where it all belongs to him.

However, his own position is likely to be inclined to the Asa Protoss, which is the main reason why Hodder has never thought of contacting the King of Hustle until now.

In the final analysis, there is actually only one reason:

Solem adores the current queen.

Although Huo De didn't know whether it was because Solem had publicly pursued the queen, or the Asa protoss deliberately spread the news about it, or something else.

In short, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be a secret, you just need to ask casually to understand.

And if you only look at this point, Solem is indeed an unstable factor.

Not even him, because of his identity as the giant king, his subordinates and the people living in his territory seem to be untrustworthy.

This is a natural nepotism. Even if you understand that people are different, you will eventually have doubts about it.

To be honest, if Hodder hadn't known something a long time ago, he would probably have been frightened by Skadi.

But now, he just thought it was a little funny.

"Wow, are you going to Asgard to report me?"

These words sounded a bit harsh at first, but because Hodder's own tone was too humorous, no one would take it seriously.

And now, Skadi has an even weirder expression.

She just stared at Huo De, and the eyes of the human warrior did not avoid it.

In the end, it was the giantess who gave in first.

"Really boring."

Seeing Hodder's calm expression, she muttered something in a low voice.

Obviously, that's not what she wanted to see.

"So how can it be interesting?"

Howard couldn't help laughing.

"Should I show a nervous and frightened expression?"

"Tsk."

Skadi pursed her lips just like that, she looked at Hodder's obviously exaggerated weird expression, and finally turned her head away.

"If you trust other people so easily in the future, you might hurt those people, including Dietrich."

Although this seemed like a reminder on the surface, Hodder vaguely noticed that Skadi had such a strange intention.

For example... Looking for a place?

Maybe she felt very humiliated before.

After realizing this, Hodder couldn't help feeling a little funny.

The originally heavy mood became light and cheerful.

"Reckless? Am I reckless?"

Without waiting for Skadi to answer, Hodder shook his head.

"Some people say I'm selfish, some people say I'm cowardly and despicable, but from the beginning to now, no one says I'm reckless."

"Then you trust me so much?"

"This is the result of careful consideration."

Looking at Skadi's embarrassment that gradually lost his face, Hodder just sighed.

"I actually know a lot of things, such as the former Frost King..."

This was actually said by Huo De casually, he just straightened out his thoughts in this regard.

"Owendale, he..."

"You know him?"

Then, Hodder's voice froze.
