You and me under the world tree

"Don't you think so?"

After that, Xiu Fen fell silent.

"Maybe."

Some kind of awkwardness and prejudice in her heart made her unwilling to admit this, so the words of the goddess of love sounded weird.

"Okay, it's nothing. Valkyrie itself is a 'receiver'. It doesn't matter whoever does this job. Our identities will not change because of the intervention of outsiders."

Knowing that Xiu Fen had always been so angry, Ge Fuqiong patted her on the shoulder.

"As for Slude, this child is really good. If she was born earlier, maybe she would live a more comfortable life?"

Although Ge Fuqiong has been beating around the bush, but the appreciation in the words is very easily revealed.

But, this involves a topic that can't be avoided no matter what.

"I'm curious, do you really want to help her?"

"Aren't I helping her?"

Facing Xiufen's obviously suspicious eyes, Ge Fuqiong just raised his eyebrows.

Facing the smile of the goddess of family, the goddess of love frowned even tighter.

"Compared to her carrying it alone, it's better to spread these responsibilities on us."

Speaking of this, Gefuqiong couldn't help but look to the other side of the power plain.

Bordering there is a forest named Grasir, in which there is a magnificent and chilling warrior hall: the Hall of Valhalla.

She just stared at the distant forest, seeming to be nostalgic and thinking.

But then, she turned her head without warning:

"Are you afraid, Xiufen?"

That kind of exaggerated and weird tone is entirely to liven up the current tense atmosphere on the one hand, but on the other hand, she is confusing the public!

Xiufen saw through this in an instant, so she looked at Ge Fuqiong even more sharply.

"You should know that I'm not talking about 'us'."

Xiufen never worried about the pressure from the God King.

Ever since their queen had a conflict with the god king, a crack appeared in the originally monolithic Asa clan.

The Nine Realms Ruler, which seems to be incomparably prosperous now, is after all the product of the 'merger'.

Even now, Asa today is inseparable from the 'Warner' component.

The country of the elves is in the hands of Frey, and Niord is in control of the ocean and the ship city.

Even if these two were not counted, the existence of Tianhou alone was enough to make that old guy fearful.

With such a standpoint, Xiufen naturally cared about other aspects.

"I'm asking about Slude."

Facing the eyes of the family goddess, Xiu Fen said.

Gradually, Ge Fuqiong's originally extremely leisurely smile seemed to be restrained.

Under such eyes, the current goddess of love continued to ask:

"You don't know the girl's position, do you? Why do you think she leads the Valkyries?"

What else could it be because of?

Simply because she is Thor's daughter.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows this well, because of this level of blood, she is even more qualified than the former Brunhilde.

And Slude is now in charge of the Valkyrie, which also symbolizes that this armed organization that once belonged to the Queen of Heaven officially belongs to Odin, the God King.

"Actually, in this respect, even if Slude is 'making her own claim' over there, it is her own business after all, but once you intervene, things inside will become complicated."

"Complicated? Isn't this very simple."

Facing Xiu Fen's sigh, Ge Fuqiong gave a half-smile.

Yes, this matter is indeed very simple. It is nothing more than that Slude can't bear to see those people go to the cold Helheim because of this kind of massacre. She feels that their lives should not end because of this.

However, the key point is not here.

"You understand, Ge Fuqiong, it doesn't really matter what the truth is, what matters is what that old guy thinks."

"That old thing~"

Just shouting such an obviously insulting title so brazenly, Gefuqiong calmly folded her arms.

"What does he think? Well, what does this have to do with me?"

Originally, Xiufen thought that Ge Fuqiong was going to make some high-level remarks.

She was even ready to hear the reasons she was looking for.

In the end, I didn't expect that this guy didn't even bother to pretend.

"So you still have the idea of ​​sowing discord."

"How can this kind of thing be called 'provocation'?"

"Doesn't that count?"

"Why does it count?"

This is not a joke, Ge Fuqiong's words are filled with a serious attitude.

"The so-called discord must be based on the premise of mutual trust, but, that guy, do you think he has any trust?"

Of course not.

Although Gefuqiong didn't make any judgments on this, Xiufen's mind was already flooded with answers in this regard.

They had already seen his suspicious character.

"He doesn't believe in the so-called blood and relationship, let alone the so-called kinship."

"..."

"If he was really willing to trust others, His Highness wouldn't have had that kind of 'accident', and the situation that Slude's child is in is the same."

"So, you deliberately said something that most young people don't know?"

Hearing this, Gefuqiong didn't respond immediately.

She just looked at the martial arts field in the distance.

"No matter what, I think the 'reminder' is in place. The seeds of doubt have already taken root in her heart, and it depends on whether she is willing to pursue them."

"If you do this, the Asa Protoss will be divided, especially at this critical juncture. Don't forget that giants are watching."

Having fully understood part of Ge Fuqiong's intentions, Xiufen said helplessly.

"Don't forget, now is not the time at the beginning. Thor has completely cut off the possibility of reconciliation between us and the frost giants."

"In the final analysis, there is only a lack of a bridge, but the root of the hatred has already appeared. It is not difficult to deal with this kind of thing."

"Gefjean?"

Hearing this, Xiufen felt that she understood something.

Then, she met the serious and nostalgic eyes of her good sister.

"I believe in one thing, Xiufen."

"what?"

"He'll be back."

Chapter 8: Then and Now

Location: Atrium, Gitland Kingdom

This is the kingdom that is most easily overlooked in the northern peninsula.

Although it once did occupy the 'mainstream', it could even be counted as the strongest kingdom in the north.

But that was essentially the result of former king Nedard's inner expansion.

He thought he had heirs who were good at fighting, and he coerced the elf blacksmith Wieland to cast excellent weapons for him, so he came up with the idea of ​​​​conquering the neighboring kingdoms.

And this was also the cause of the war that had plagued the northern peninsula for decades.

At that time, Gitland fell into a fanatical atmosphere of war under the deliberate exaggeration. Not only did he attack Norway, but even Denmark did not let go.

It is clear that Niddard at that time had strong ambitions.

Not to mention things like unifying the atrium, as far as it is concerned, Nedad obviously wants to conquer the entire northern peninsula and create his own great cause.

But the problem is that he doesn't have the talent to match his ambition.

He never seemed to think about the reason for his invincibility on the battlefield, and he didn't even think about treating the elf blacksmith who forged weapons for his kingdom with a relatively moderate attitude.

Eventually, using his wife's belongings to coerce him into forging a powerful weapon from the very beginning.

And after the birth of the legendary sword Mimong that can break through any protection, he was afraid that he would create a stronger weapon than Mimong, so he cut off his tendons and poured poison on him.

Thus, the conflict broke out.

The first is the internal reason:

First of all, the most powerful Hiltebrand, who had already emerged in the army, chose to assist the blacksmith Wieland behind his back.

Of course, he had good intentions, and he was just fighting with his sister Bodwell for the chance to let Wieland escape.

But the problem is that Wieland has no intention of leaving directly.

On the one hand, it was to repay Hiltebrand's kindness and friendship, and on the other hand, it was also to Nidard for making him go to extremes.

In short, Wieland chose his own revenge.

He murdered two of King Nedard's children in order to put Hiltebrand on the throne.

And under a series of blows, Nedad couldn't afford to fall ill, which caused intense shock and chaos within the kingdom.

The originally seemingly unified forces showed signs of splitting under the struggle of several princes.

The other thing is the outside world. At the critical moment of the country being destroyed, Norway, which was invaded, suddenly emerged twelve violent warriors including the king.

Angentyr and his eleven brothers in solidarity wielded the magic sword Tyrfing and were invincible on the battlefield, thus repelling the invaders from Gitland.

And King Nidade's previous ambitions have come to naught.

And the war wasn't completely over yet.

Although the Norwegian King Angentil did not continue to go deep after repelling the foreign enemies, but chose to demand compensation and maintain peace, but a war started a few years later.

That battle was even more extreme than King Niddard, and it even swallowed up Iceland, which was far away from the mainland of the Atrium.

At that time, Siamar, the great hero of Gitland, disappeared in the war, and was confirmed to have died in the northern sea with Angentyr by the sage from the Netherland decades later.

Hiltebrand ran away because of guilt, wandering in the Gothic hinterland where the conquest and internal strife were constant, yearning for adventure and death.

It was in this chaotic situation that the man who ascended the throne of Gitland in the chaos was named Otwal, and he was an illegitimate son whom King Niddard never valued.

And since he ascended the throne, things have improved within Gitland.

The war was over, and Hiltebrand, the former Prince of Gitland, had a very high status in the rejuvenated Gothic Kingdom.

The naturally existing covenant made Gitland recover quickly after getting out of the quagmire of war.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed.

It can be said that Gitland has maintained peace for as many years as Otwal has been in power.

Even, he was praised as a 'virtuous king' and a 'wise man' by his own people.

The citizens praised his rule and even considered him the savior of Gitland.

However, he himself understood.

His ascension to the throne has little to do with the end of the war.

From a strategic point of view, because Norway at that time was essentially directly blocked by the returned Prince of Iceland, Gripal, who is now known as the "Wise Old Man", and then was directly blocked by the king of the Netherlands, Qi, who came from afar. Gmund penetrated the defence.
