You and me under the world tree

He said so.

"Can you use this power?"

"Unfortunately, no, in fact, even Herblindy can't use it too much, let alone me."

"..."

Huo De suddenly realized that he was stupid, and fell into a weird thinking circle without any precautions.

Before, I was only concerned with sorting out the so-called source of power for this giant, but I subconsciously ignored that the so-called "finality (death)" itself is in conflict with everything in this world.

Because once this kind of "finality" is expanded, the first victim must be the user himself.

Hela is the best spokesperson in this regard.

"That's right, but if the fish dies and the net breaks..."

Hodder originally wanted to argue something, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it.

"Think about it carefully, he probably won't give you such a chance."

"Yeah, he won't give me this kind of opportunity, so my so-called 'power' maintains a strange balance."

He lightly hammered his body.

"The flame will 'extinguish', and the natural life will 'wither'. At the same time, I have no way to actively create 'death'."

Having said that, Utgard couldn't help laughing.

"Locky didn't leave any retreat for me, nor did he leave a retreat for himself."

Hearing this, Hodder couldn't help but sighed.

"He did a lot of insurance."

"Yeah, I actually did it voluntarily at the beginning, and I didn't even think about completely separating myself from him, because I also have his feelings and memories in my mind."

However, starting from a certain day, this situation has changed like this.

As for this change, it came too suddenly.

Thinking of this, Hodder couldn't help but speak:

"He probably wouldn't have thought that a woman like Eggers would suddenly appear in Jotunheim."

Her appearance was definitely an accident.

After all, no one would have thought that the witch that Loki once loved deeply, her love and obsession have always lingered.

Even if the body dies, even if the soul and consciousness dissipate, it never disappears. In the end, it appears on Agather, making this giant girl a flower similar to her.

And it was this beautiful and lovely flower that made Utgard have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

"You fell in love with her not only because of the love between Loki and Gullweger, but also because you loved her yourself."

Utgarde was deeply in love with Eggthel, there was no question about that.

but……

"It's useless to say this now."

Utgarde murmured that his mood had been bad from the start.

Although there may be such a kind of relief of resignation, it is almost impossible to improve the mood.

After all, that cruel fact was right in front of him.

"I haven't spoken to you about it yet."

Utgarde spoke.

"I don't know how to talk to her, but... I have a hunch—maybe she knows I'm doing something dangerous."

"I don't doubt that."

Hodder said.

"That woman is very smart. If possible, I really want to find a compromise."

After hearing his exclamation, Utgard smiled helplessly.

"impossible."

The giant denied it.

"The design drawing is in your hands. Diaz couldn't pick out the mistakes from this drawing at the beginning. Loki's attainments in this area... are at the top level of the Nine Realms."

In other words, this is the best plan, and in this set of plans, Utgarde must die.

"I admit it, but that doesn't mean there's no room for improvement!"

"What did you say?"

Good night everyone_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 99: Mysteries from the Dwarves

At this moment, Utgard suddenly felt his brain and ears buzzing, as if there was tinnitus.

For this reason, he felt that he had heard wrong.

"What did you say?"

He asked, looking as if he didn't fully understand what Hodder was saying.

Without waiting for Hodder's response, he slowly repeated the keyword Hodder said before.

"Improve..."

His brain seemed to become dull all of a sudden, obviously the word was right in front of him, but he just kept repeating it.

Improved.

What does this mean?

And what does that mean?

The time seemed extremely long, and the atmosphere of silence almost completely suffocated Utgard.

He didn't even dare to make any too rough sounds.

Because he was afraid, afraid that all this was just his own illusion.

He was afraid that all of this would be like the moon in the mirror, although it was extremely real and beautiful from a distance, but it was difficult to touch it no matter how he stretched out his hands.

No, he doesn't want to.

He doesn't want these to go away.

So, he kept a weird silence, and his gaze was fixed on the human in front of him.

finally……

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

After all, there was no way to suppress the restlessness and anxiety in his heart, Utgard finally couldn't help but speak out.

Tremors were evident in the giant's voice, but there was hope behind this trembling.

Either way, he needed an affirmative answer.

And at this time, Hodder could even clearly feel Utgarde's fierce gaze, as if he was about to eat people.

"You calm down."

Howard said helplessly.

"Say! Do you know what you said before?!"

However, the persuasion from the sages in the world was like a spark falling into a dynamite barrel, quickly igniting the 'dynamite barrel' of Utgarde.

His emotions were on the verge of forcibly suppressing them, but after failing to get a satisfactory answer, he just broke out.

"tell me!"

Restless.

He couldn't even disguise his emotions well, showing everything on his face.

"Those you said..."

"it is true."

Seeing his mood becoming more and more irritable, Huode hurriedly spoke.

He wanted to stabilize the mood of the guy in front of him, but Utgard became suspicious at this moment.

"Do you have ideas for improvement? Or do you have the ability to improve?"

he asked again.

But soon, he shook his head again, expressing his denial.

"No, it should be impossible. The two peak craftsmen in the Nine Realms can't find any defects, and can't make any improvements. Only you..."

Then, the words stopped abruptly.

Then, his gaze was placed on the man again.

"Only by you..."

Utgard seems to retain his sanity now, and he seems to be negating Hodder with the knowledge and experience he has accumulated for a long time.

But in fact, his denial is not rational, but a kind of pure panic.

He didn't want to be disappointed, but he couldn't let go of that expectation, so he started jumping around.

Watching him like this, Huo De couldn't help thinking of his college life.

It's not that there is anything particularly memorable about his college life, it's just that in his impression, some of his classmates have similar expressions when they are waiting for the test scores related to credits.

On the one hand, there is no certainty, but on the other hand, there is a demand.

"tell me!"

Before Hodder could immerse himself in his memories for a long time, the impatient voice of the giant echoed in his ears.

"Yes, because I am also a blacksmith."

Howard said this.

"You should also understand, right? The so-called craftsmanship always improves with the passage of time."

"..."

Utgard did not speak, he maintained a silent attitude towards this.

But Huo De didn't care too much, he just stated his views and opinions calmly:

"I admit that Loki is an excellent craftsman, and Diaz also has extremely high attainments in this area, but this does not mean that their designs are not outdated, after all, they are all things from thousands of years ago Alright."

After hearing Hodder's words, Utgard's heart was filled with a touch of unspoken complexity.

From a professional standpoint, he felt that he should be angry about this.

Because Loki is the same as him in this respect, Hodder's off-the-cuff 'outdated' is clearly referring to him as well.

However, just looking at this matter, he felt some joy.

There is room for improvement, does it mean that this matter itself has turned around?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help pursing his lips:

"It's empty talk."

He said.

"Prove to me, where is this design outdated?"
