You and me under the world tree

He sighed.

"I am bound to die, but you suddenly told me that I have a chance to survive, what do you make me think?"

Hearing Utgard's complicated words, although Hodder expressed his understanding, he still couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"I don't care what you think, I don't care what you think anyway."

After all, he is not a nice guy, and he will not do anything that puts a hot face on a cold ass.

Originally, he wanted to explain the source of certain things to the giant through narration.

As a result, it now appears that Utgarde himself does not appreciate it.

So why should I indulge myself here?

Thinking of this, Hodder simply fumbled for a crystal stone from his pocket.

It is crystal clear and exudes a suffocating beauty, but there is a strange power surging in it.

So, right at the very first moment, Utgard's eyes were attracted by this strange crystal stone.

"what is this?"

he asked in a low voice.

"You... see for yourself."

Hodder didn't throw it directly, nor did he use magic to do any translation.

He walked up to Utgarde, and very solemnly handed over the crystal stone in his hand to the giant.

"this thing……"

Just staring at the small crystal in his hand, Utgarde frowned.

"It doesn't seem to be the same size as the dwarves usually use."

Utgarde has the memory of Loki, and Loki had contact with those dwarves.

Therefore, Utgarde can easily identify these.

"The dwarves often use this special 'soul crystal' as a container to store the soul, and then either embed it on weapons and armor, or directly extract the soul and pour it into the necessary props."

Although that's what he said, Utgard's brows didn't relax, but frowned even tighter.

Because he discovered a crucial thing.

"This so-called crystal is not a real entity, is it?"

Finally, he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

Having said that, he narrowed his eyes.

"It is a pure 'magic creation', without using any raw materials from this land, it is purely overhead."

This thing was actually created by the secret method that Hodder himself learned from Hreidmar.

"Also, it's quite fragile..."

With just such a glance, Utgarde saw its weakness.

"There are too many magics inscribed in it. All kinds of magic are intertwined to form a cage, and the soul is stored in it. Although the principle is very similar to the original soul crystal, the binding effect on the inside is stronger."

He judged it.

"Although the souls of gods and giants are not unacceptable, it is not difficult for them to break free, but the souls..."

Then, Utgarde fell silent.

Obviously, he's seen it.

"This is the soul of Mondelfarli."

At this moment, Utgarde's mind was buzzing.

He just froze in place.

Where should he start?

Is it the crystal that binds the giant's soul, or is it its own function?

Even……

"You killed Mondelfarli?"

Finally, Utgarde looked up.

He looked directly at Huo De, and the sage in the world didn't have any intention of backing down.

"Yes, Zebul took me there, and I killed Mondial Farley and took his soul."

"Zebul..."

After hearing the name of the wise princess, Utgard vaguely understood something.

"Mondelfarli . . . he is very tired."

"Yeah, I just hope Sur and Mani don't resent me for this aspect of things."

"I can't answer that."

After returning his eyes to the 'magic crystal' in his hand, he whispered.

"For the powerful restraint and storage of the soul, this thing is not only a container, but also a 'mold' of the soul. It seems that as long as its shape is changed, the state of the soul inside will also change, and the inside and outside seem to be completely intact. isolated..."

Having said that, Utgard suddenly fell silent.

"It seems that you have already understood, so I don't need to say any more nonsense."

Howard said calmly.

"How sure are you?"

Not much nonsense, Utgard asked straightforwardly.

"It's up to you. After all, I don't know what the primordial fire has become with you, but the only thing I can guarantee is that I can retain your consciousness, as long as you still have the desire to continue living."

Hodder looked directly at the giant.

"That's all I can do."

…………

"The wish to live..."

Sitting on the bench in the house, the giant sighed.

Then, he couldn't help but reach out and cover his heart.

The flames are boiling.

He could feel it, but even he couldn't tell whether that feeling came from the body or from the soul.

"crash"

At the same time, the sound of running water echoed in his ears.

Looking up, he saw his beloved woman standing there.

Agather, she was cleaning the kitchen utensils and tableware by hand.

Without using any magic, she just cleaned them herself with a rag.

She had a hunch about something, so she just extended the so-called time as much as possible.

But why bother?

Thinking of this, Utgard slowly got up, and he walked to her side.

"Eh?"

"I'll help you."

Facing the complex little eyes of the giantess, he whispered.

…………

…………

…………

…………

New Year's Eve is here, I wish you all the best.

It's been two years, and it doesn't feel like it's going well. The epidemic has stolen time...

In addition, take advantage of the weekend to py a book

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Time goes by like this.

Although it can't be considered fast, for Hodder and the others who have important things to do, this time passed in the blink of an eye.

And in the blink of an eye, another week passed by.

Regardless of the changes in the external environment, Hodder almost enclosed himself in a studio specially prepared by Zebul.

She looked as if she had prepared these long ago, and the internal facilities were almost in line with his simple, thin human being.

Huo De lived in it like this, and did not go out, and his daily food was delivered to his door.

And this state of life even caused other people to worry.

"Hodder...he's really all right."

The person who said these words was Hela.

And when she had this worry, even the kitten in her arms was not fragrant.

She didn't want to suck the cat anymore, so she just put the kitten down.

"He hasn't been back for a week."

After hearing Hela's words, Dietrich just blinked her eyes.

"He is very busy."

Dietrich said helplessly.

"For the sake of Utgarde, he has already done his best."

After hearing the response from her best friend, Hela fell silent.

She already knew about this matter, and it wasn't that she discovered some clues to eavesdrop, but that Dietrich, with Hodder's approval, took the initiative to point out the things the latter did during this week.

Loki's plan, Utgarde's position and original destiny.

Both Huo De and Dietrich are very clear that this kind of thing must be explained clearly.

Because it obviously cannot be kept hidden forever.

This is like a time bomb that needs to be dealt with in advance. With Hela's restless character, if she has a showdown with her on the sword casting day, something may happen.

Her kind of "emotional" is not something ordinary people can bear.

Even, maybe it will destroy this crucial 'plan'.

Therefore, Dietrich detonated this 'unknown destructive power' bomb in advance.

As for why it wasn't Hodder himself, it can only be said that he chose to escape.

He admitted that Dietrich had told everything, but he himself had no way to bite the bullet and face Hela.

Therefore, he directly chose to isolate himself and stayed in the workshop given by Zebul, leaving Dietrich to talk to the child Hela.

Although at the beginning, her emotions were indeed extreme, and she even proposed that she should be quiet for a long time, but both Dietrich and Zebul were here.

Gradually, her own emotions gradually calmed down, and she spent every day with their company.

As for now, her mood is quite complicated.

But it is far from enough to say hate.
