You and me under the world tree

And so he saw the man.

"Utgarde."

After subconsciously reading the name, Huo De frowned.

At this moment, a strong impulse emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe it was yelling, maybe it was questioning.

But the impulse that was completely emotional was suppressed by reason in the end.

But even so, the doubts in his heart did not dissipate, but became more intense.

"Why did you come here..."

Although he had tried his best to suppress his voice, he still couldn't help asking such a question.

"You don't know what's going on right now?"

"..."

On the other side, Utgard seemed to have noticed Hodder's straightforward gaze.

He also stared at the 'small' human being, with a complex calm on his face.

With just one glance, Hodder could tell that he might have something to say.

But soon, he turned his gaze away, and began to look at the surrounding environment instead.

"Yeah, although I've been here several times, no matter how many times, I still think it's so big."

He didn't mean to cover up his voice, and he had already become the focus of attention in just one sentence.

"Compared to this woman, I feel that I am a small dwarf, so I can only find some sense of existence in humans..."

'Snapped'

Before Utgard could finish reading, Eggers slapped him on the head.

"What's wrong with humans? Isn't it too rude to say this?"

Eggers actually doesn't like to discuss things about 'race'.

"And humans..."

Probably because she remembered some people, she couldn't help but start to speak for 'human beings'.

But at this moment, she couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the 'scenery' in a certain corner from the corner of her eye.

In the small manor that looked like a model landscape to the giant, there were people she was familiar with.

"Ah! Are you here too!"

She walked to Zebul's bed generously, and then greeted several of her friends.

Compared with her generosity and enthusiasm, Hodder and his party seemed cautious because of their own reasons.

However, they have at least one thing in common, and that is surprise.

Whether it was Hodder, Dietrich or Hella, none of them thought they would see Eggers and the others here.

"Ah... um."

After hesitating for a moment, Hodder first responded with a smile.

"We are currently staying here for a short time, and Zebul lent us this small manor."

He didn't mention anything else too much, he just stated the facts in this respect calmly.

"Well, Central Mountain is indeed a good place to live."

There seemed to be no doubts, Eggers said with a smile.

"This is the very center of Jotunheim. No matter what kind of scenery you want to enjoy, it's very convenient."

From a travel and adventure standpoint, Eggers is certainly right.

The other four giant kings have completely different scenery in their territories because of their personal abilities and hobbies.

"However, I personally recommend Sutuheim. The flowers there are always in full bloom. Every time I go there, I feel very happy."

I don't know if she has noticed the awkward and subtle attitude of Hodder and his party, Eggers is just looking for topics that can be chatted enthusiastically.

"Sutuheim is indeed a very beautiful place."

He continued following Eggers' words, and Huo De just smiled.

He can only laugh now, and he can't show any other emotions.

He has seen the delicate heart under the innocent and cheerful appearance of this giantess, and he also understands her intelligence and dexterity.

If she finds something wrong, then the next thing will become very troublesome.

Thinking of this, Hodder couldn't help but look at Utgard.

At this moment, his eyes could not help but bring a trace of anger.

So what are you thinking?

"Why do you come to me when you are free?"

At this moment, Dietrich spoke in a timely manner.

And her words attracted Eggers' attention.

"It's just a sudden idea in this regard."

Agather responded with a smile.

"We were wandering around in the city of ash trees before, but when I was looking for Gloria, I met Skadi, and then Ute suggested whether we should go out for a picnic together."

The answer seems obvious already.

This is Utgard's own proposal, and it should have nothing to do with Eggers.

"Then, I just thought that we really haven't seen each other for a while."

Having said that, Eggers showed a hint of apology.

"It seems that we haven't met since the establishment of Ash City, Zebul."

"Well, it's been about 10 years."

Listening to Zebul's calm response, Eggers couldn't help but sigh.

"Since the establishment of Ash City, I've basically been staying there. When I see her every day, I can't spare the time to come here. Even now, I have to hide from her and come to you."

Having said that, Eggers couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"So, between you and Gloria...you can't think of a way."

"The point is her, not me."

Without blinking twice, Zebul expressed his attitude on this.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, Eggers, some things will turn around by themselves."

"but……"

"Okay, Eggers, of course they have to deal with their affairs themselves."

Although Eggers looked like he was about to say something more, Utgarde stopped it just in time.

"Too……"

The giantess just sighed.

But soon, she showed a smile again.

"Anyway, let's go out together, Skadi said that we will find a place with a great view."

Then, she looked at Hodder and the others.

"You guys too."

"Won't it bother you?"

"No, of course, the more lively the dinner party, the better."

Chapter 88: What happens if I kill you?

In the end, it was settled that they would just go out and have a picnic.

Huode and the others have no reason to refuse or refuse - even if Huode was thinking about going out before.

Because to some extent, their purposes overlap.

Even though he made an appointment to go out for a picnic, he still has many reasons to leave temporarily, anyway, he just needs to hurry back in time.

And now, they do.

The 'picnic' proposed by Utgard is not simply a meal outside with your own food.

After all, it is a temporary proposal, so his proposal is 'outdoor barbecue'.

So since it is an outdoor barbecue, it naturally needs ingredients.

These ingredients can be brought from home or hunted on the spot, and Utgard chose the latter.

At the giant's invitation, Hodder also joined the ranks of hunting.

They will drive their chariots to the surrounding jungles for hunting, trying to bring back more prey.

On the surface it is.

But Hodder knew that this was just an excuse.

Long before, Zebul had said that someone would take him to Simmara's residence.

And that person was obviously Utgarde.

Thinking of this, Huo De couldn't help feeling a bit of unhappiness in his heart.

And all the causes can be attributed to that guy.

"Utgarde."

Hodder just looked at the giant beside him.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

The cynical giant responded with his characteristic cadence.

He might want to liven up the atmosphere, but unfortunately, the only human present didn't buy it.

Hodder just stared at him like that, as if he wanted to see through him.

And under such an almost dissected view, Utgarde's smile, which was originally used to enliven the atmosphere, gradually became stiff, and finally disappeared completely.

He was obviously preoccupied, but he was never used to showing it in front of outsiders.

And the two people with their own concerns just looked at each other, and the chariot pulled by the two giant beasts was speeding in the sky of Jotunheim, heading towards the predetermined destination.

In the end, Hodder was the first to break through that oppressive dullness.

"So, why are you doing this?"

He let out a sigh.

"Although this remark will be stupid to me, but... at least you still have time to enjoy with her."

"Hmph, I want to enjoy it too."

Hearing Hodd's weak sigh, Utgard just shook his head.

"It's just that if you are replaced by me, can you feel at ease?"

"..."

Howard lost his voice.

He wanted to speak several times, but finally shook his head.

"Sure enough, no one in this world likes 'countdown'."

Not to mention, some things are completely on the table.
