You and me under the world tree

At the same time, his eyes couldn't help but stay on his game interface.

On his blood bar, the name on the handsome decoration of the evil dragon stayed quietly.

Hod...

Chapter 75: Spatial Segmentation

Finally, Hodder walked into the palace.

But his behavior actually caught the attention of the guards at the door.

But this kind of attention wouldn't make them fuss, but when he entered the palace, the two guards kept looking at him.

But in fact, when he came from afar, the two guards looked at him with inexplicable 'wisdom' eyes.

And until he completely walked into the palace, the two guards holding spears and shields began to look at each other.

"I remember... this one seems to have been here before?"

"Ah."

When his partner asked this question, the guard showed a hesitant attitude at first, but finally nodded.

"That's right," he said, "and, if I remember correctly, he is His Majesty's guest."

"I don't think this can be regarded as a 'distinguished guest' anymore? His Majesty personally sent him to the gate of the palace."

"I don't think that's the point. The point is that this seems to have happened half an hour ago."

yes, half an hour...

The guards themselves didn't have any precise timekeeping props such as watches or clocks. They calculated this based on the sun's light and their own somatosensory time.

And the fact is not too different from their guess, because Hodder did leave some time ago.

Then the problem is coming...

"What can he do in more than 20 minutes, nearly half an hour?"

"No, no, before asking this question, don't we have to figure out one thing?"

"what……"

"You said, what is he doing back to the palace now?"

"Perhaps His Majesty the King entrusted him to go shopping?"

"Do you think our Majesty is such an incomprehensible person? Isn't there a shield girl in the palace?"

In this way, the two guards responsible for guarding the gate of the palace during the day began a brief exchange.

But in any case, they have no way to perceive the 'truth'.

Because not to mention them, even the old king Gripal was at a loss.

Originally, Griple just maintained his identity as a king and sat on his throne waiting for the arrival of visitors.

Moreover, as a powerful wizard, he has become accustomed to using magic to visit things inside and outside the palace, and whenever an outsider visits, he always has to inspect him in advance.

This kind of investigation is actually various, maybe it is to let him see the maids in the palace, or it may be that a little 'accident' happened.

After all, despite the fact that the entire palace is smaller than ordinary king's palaces, there are not so many people inside.

However, this is a world with magic after all. Under the shroud of magic, the Icelandic royal palace is obviously not as simple as it seems on the surface.

If Griple wanted to, he could turn his palace into a super fortress that he could operate alone at any time.

Of course, it is obviously impossible for him to complete such a huge project by himself.

Of course, his wife Gonglu also participated in the design and decoration.

If his wife was still alive, with her more tyrannical magical power, she could actually do more.

But for Griple, who is a human being, it is certain that his level will drop.

But now, what matters is not the magic traps or other things that exist in the entire palace.

Because the appearance of the sage Hodder completely disrupted his original idea.

Even at this moment, Gripal was still wondering about this matter.

Why is he back again?

Where did he go before?

After all, Gripal was not the two guards at the door. After thinking about it carefully, he found that he had found the answer.

that stranger...

Here, the only one who can attract his attention is actually the young man who can inexplicably cause uneasiness to others.

Noble, extraordinary, the only thing that might be a problem is that the clothes don't look right.

After all, Gripal is not that kind of young man. He is as used to keeping his brain in the most vigilant state as Hodder.

So when observing, he also noticed the fallacies in the details that Hod had noticed before.

But unlike Hodder, who can figure out the other party's identity in a few words through verbal communication, Gripal has no way to get in touch with the other party.

Therefore, he can only guess something out of thin air here.

But even so, what really amazed him was Hodder's 'everywhere' performance.

Although he has always allowed Siegfried to grow and act freely, he will always step forward when the critical moment comes.

For example, right now...

From Griple's point of view, he himself knew that the stranger had come to visit and fetch Nanna, the Norwegian princess, but that did not mean that the sage knew.

It may even be said that the sage himself may have had no idea of ​​the young stranger's purpose.

But in this case, it was Griple who admired his thoughtfulness.

For in this case there was only one possibility: the sage of Volsung must have found the stranger from nowhere, and had followed him when he sensed that he was coming to the palace.

Because among other things, the young man named Breda was disturbing indeed.

Griple believed that there was no reason why the sage of Volsung could not perceive what he could perceive.

But at this moment, what really caught his attention was the young man's purpose.

Bring back Princess Nanna of Norway...

This was not a strange thing at first, Nanna was going to get married after all, but it made him a little uncomfortable to be stuck at this juncture.

To be honest, Nanna's own thoughts are not important, and Gripal actually doesn't care about the entanglement and suffering in the girl's heart.

However, even if she reveals the secret, it means that Siegfried's own 'whereabouts' are no longer safe.

Of course Nanna can keep this secret in order to preserve her friendship, but Siegfried must leave Iceland as soon as possible.

But this behavior conflicted with the old king's own considerations.

After all, originally, he wanted to slowly prepare for this aspect and prepare what Siegfried needed.

During this period of time, Siegfried can also get along with Hilda for a period of time.

This period of time can be said to be the best, because once he wins over the pirates in the northern seas, he will definitely march directly into the Netherlands without stopping.

Once he becomes king, it will be difficult to cultivate any feelings.

This is determined by identity and status, and has nothing to do with personal will.

unless……

Gradually, a gleam flashed in the wise eyes of the old king.

Although there is some risk in doing so, the risk is not great, because his daughter also has good strength.

"Talk it to him." He whispered.

Then, with the flickering of the runes, the power of magic gradually enveloped the entire palace, and its space began to change.

On the other side, Breda, who was still walking one after the other, suddenly found that there was only one person left around.

The man who followed behind him and made him inexplicably palpitate seemed to have disappeared.

"The magic of space... Is this the handwriting of giants?"

Gradually, even Guangshen couldn't help feeling a bit of fear in his heart.

This kind of fear is not because of himself, but because he thinks of the owner's wife here.

Su Dong's daughter Gonglu...

After all, Su Dong is the giant king of Jotunheim, and he is a tyrannical giant that even his father god is afraid of.

But in the end, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

King Griple...

If it wasn't for the daughter of the giant king who was abandoned by my father, and she herself was in emotional pain, how could she have taken a fancy to you, a small human being?

Chapter 76: The Restlessness of the Gods

The gods are high above...

Regardless of what happened before, it was like this from the moment the Asgards established Asgard and ruled the Nine Realms based on the world tree Uktrasir.

The Vanir Protoss live in peace in Vanaheim far away, while the giants live together in Jotunheim.

Humans live in the atrium world directly below Asgard, dwarves are in the deeper part of the atrium, and elves are fortunate to be neighbors with the gods.

And when Baldr officially remembered, Ymir had been dead for a long time, Asgard had been established long ago, and even human beings had developed their own civilization.

For such a man, it is natural for humans to worship gods.

Not only are these creatures extremely short-lived, they are also extremely weak in terms of ability, and their bodies are also quite fragile.

For the gods, the climate that can be manipulated freely is a fatal natural disaster for them, and for the gods, the monsters that can be handled easily are the proof of their honor.

Badr grew up in such an environment.

Even though his name is actually not as famous as his father, God King Odin, and several other brothers, he didn't even have a special sacrifice day.

However, he also has his own popularity in Midgard.

After all, no matter what, he is the god who brings brilliance to the world, and his priesthood and power are spring and brilliance.

No matter what his nature is, the long years of the gods have already deeply ingrained his cognition and consciousness in this regard.

To him, mortals are their creations.

And as their creations, human beings, a fragile race that may not even live for a hundred years, are not at the same level as themselves.

The Asa protoss, who have long been the masters of the nine worlds, will value the Vanir protoss who do not like to fight, because there has never been any victory or defeat in the battle between them, and the concept of "magic" even originated from this race.

They will also pay attention to the giants who have been living in Jotunheim today.

Because giants are theoretically older than gods, giants have been around for a while when the original god Bulli was just born from the ice wrapped in salt grains.

Even today's God King Odin and a group of gods related to him inevitably have the blood of giants.

The giantess Bestra, this is the name of Odin's mother, and at the same time she is Mimir's sister, she and Mimir are descendants of the giant Ymir.

The relationship between gods and giants is so delicate, even the Vanir Protoss has a blood relationship with giants. After all, Sea God Niord and Skadi are cousins, and he is also a child of the giant Diaz.

It can be said that, in fact, the difference between the gods and the giants is nothing more than a name and a divine power that basically cannot be described in words.

But even so, the giants still control the mysterious power. Even if they don't have the priesthood bestowed by the gods themselves, they can do what the gods can do.

As for the elves and dwarves, those elves who love light have always been the loyal servants and guardians of the gods.

Although the dwarves cannot see the light, the gods need their seemingly innate talent for forging.

Even though the status of the dwarves was indeed humble, even Odin himself had to be more polite when facing Ivaldi, the dwarf king of Walterheim.

But compared with them, compared with these races, humans are much more 'incompetent'.

They have been dancing in the palms of the gods.

If you have to make an analogy, they are like poultry in captivity.

At best, they are animals that live in protected areas that require care and must not be destroyed.
