You and me under the world tree

She returned to the ground directly along the stairs, and then glanced at the maids standing on both sides of the tomb.

Compared with the young and beautiful girls in the palace who were almost the same age as Hilda herself, the women who guarded and repaired the tomb and the small pier had already spent their youth.

They not only have white hair, but also have wrinkles on their faces.

These people are all women who followed their father to participate in the war in the early years, and they are deeply trusted.

After the war, Queen Gonglu and King Griple would sometimes come here to rest, so over time, there are often shield maidens stationed here.

These armed maids usually live on the ship with the king and queen.

After the queen died and was buried here, they built a house here to live in.

The shield girls had no relatives and no reason, and their allegiance was only to the royal family, so after the death of Queen Gonglu, they guarded the tomb here.

Very normal.

"I'll leave it to you to watch over here." Facing the slightly kind gaze of the shield girl, Hilda said.

"Well, I wish you a safe journey, Your Royal Highness."

In fact, if it is an ordinary kingdom, when the royal family members are about to travel far away, the sender will basically say that Tyr, Thor or Odin will guide you.

The gods have such prestige in the atrium world.

But Iceland is a bit different. After all, the king here has a giant wife.

As Su Dong's daughter, coupled with the fact that she has some sinful ties with the Asa gods, Gong Lu certainly doesn't like those gods.

So over time, the maids here basically don't mention those gods anymore.

Then, Hilda left her mother's tomb and the garden, and she returned to the small port all the way, only to see Siegfried and Huo De standing here.

The two men stood on the pier, side by side, as if looking at the scenery, and the steps to the upper boat were in front of them.

After seeing this scene, the corners of Hilda's mouth twitched unavoidably.

"What are you looking at here, why don't you get on the boat?"

And what she said casually made people feel more subtle.

The man named Huode just looked back, his cloudy eyes couldn't see anything.

But after being glanced at by him, Hilda felt that his skin was about to get goosebumps.

On the other hand, Siegfried was not so silent.

"You're not even on the boat, how do we get on the boat, you are the master, aren't you?"

Seeing Siegfried's face, Hilda really wanted to just refute.

Because to her, Siegfried's face... No, it's actually him who is very awkward here.

But he didn't say anything wrong.

Hilda is the owner of this ship, and only she has the right to adjust the course of this ship.

And as a guest, it is very rude to board the ship before the host.

What's more, Hilda came to help them in name.

Just because of this name, Siegfried's relaxed tone of not taking her seriously seemed extremely strange.

"Forget it, I don't care about you."

In the end, Hilda, who couldn't hold back a word for a while, could only say these words.

Chapter 88: The Giant's Secret

Hilda felt a little bad for no reason.

But in fact, her aggrieved feeling can't be explained in words, because even she herself can't completely push the reason for her aggrieved and dull feeling to Hodder and the others.

Because she actually understood that the reason why she felt this way was actually inseparable from her previous visit to her mother.

Although she herself does not have the theoretical sense of family affection and closeness to her mother, once she thinks of her dead mother, she will think of her father.

As a daughter, she has really complicated feelings towards her mother Gonglu.

As a father, in order to leave a memory for his daughter and not let her completely forget his mother, he of course told her the whole process of her birth.

Then, she knew one thing: she was a child who was exchanged by her mother.

And this news involves the characteristics of the race of giants: fertility.

In fact, as a human king, Gripal should not have let his daughter know about this, and these secrets belonging to the gods should not have been passed on.

However, he still said it, he kept the young Hilda a secret, and told her the complete news from beginning to end.

The race of giants is actually quite strange. In fact, it can be seen from the first and most powerful king of giants, Ymir, that the production of giants actually does not need the assistance of other people.

If they want, they can give birth to a child by themselves, which is the real sense of 'creating' a child.

Although from Ymir to Mimir's generation, to Sudong, Sorem, Diaz and other giants who are like brothers, this ability is no longer able to be used at will, but it is not impossible.

Because for them, conceiving life is like a process of separating power from their own body. No matter what method is used, the child they give birth will always draw nutrition and strength from them.

If enough power is extracted, a child conceived by a giant can grow up and gain strength in one day.

The relationship between gods and giants is unclear, and Odin himself is a child of giants, so he knows the characteristics of giants.

Therefore, almost all his offspring were born of giants, and all of them were extremely heroic.

Moreover, it is said that Thor's child, Hercules Manny, was able to lift Thor as his father on the first day of his birth, and he was able to save his father on the third day.

And his mother: the giantess Yan Shasa has no news anymore.

But these are not the point, because these stories are just to inform Hilda about the reproductive characteristics of the 'giant' race.

What comes next is what matters: Her mother, Gonlu, was once Odin's lover.

Of course, Hilda remembered the shock he felt when he heard this for the first time.

Odin, king of the gods...

This name has been passed down by word of mouth in Midgard. Although sometimes, the names of God of War Tyr and Thor of Thunder are more resounding than him, but the names of God King and Nine Realms Master cannot be erased. of.

However, Hilda herself doesn't care about these so-called false names, she only cares about one thing:

She was his father's wife, but before that she was someone else's lover.

For a child like her, this situation is actually very sad, not to mention that she left early, she has never taken care of her, and she has not been able to get along with her good daughter.

It was even hard for her to imagine the tone in which her father said such words.

However, the most important thing is actually the last thing: her mother is actually not fit to have children.

Odin had spoken of marrying her, and she had even borne a child for it, but from the giant's point of view, she was not yet old enough to bear children.

So at that time, her child almost had an accident, but she spent a lot of effort to save herself and the child.

What she got was that the god king stole the mead and left. At the same time, she also knew one thing: her sister Grid also had a relationship with Odin, and the child born between them had grown up. big.

Gong Lu, who knew about this, fainted in a fit of anger. In order to take care of his daughter, Su Dong didn't even have time to chase Odin who had stolen the mead.

As for the child she desperately saved, it was not normal.

Usually, the children born by the giant's efforts always grow up very quickly, just like Braki, the god of poetry, grows up in three days.

But Etzel, the child born to Gonglu, could not do this. He remained in the state of a baby and grew extremely slowly.

And because of this incident, Gong Lu fell to the root of her illness, her body was considered weak among giants, and she couldn't bear children.

This is what Su Dong warned when he married his daughter to the human Griple.

At the time, Griple was king at the time, and a war cost him almost all of his family except one sister.

at that time……

"It's okay for her to say that she just gave birth to a human child. She can do it, because if it's just an ordinary human, it won't deplete her vitality."

Until now, Hilda could still recall the tone of his father when he talked about this incident, he was in pain, he was remorseful, and even his body was still trembling.

That was the first time Hilda saw such a fragile expression on his father who had always been resolute but gentle.

From then on, she knew at a young age that her mother lied to her father.

"However, Grandpa Su Dongming clearly warned..."

When she was young, she blamed her father so much, because in the eyes of the innocent Hilda at the time, it was because of her father's infirmity that her mother passed away.

But now that I think about it, who can say those things clearly?

Obsessed?

It seemed that the same could not be said about Gripal, but her father only nodded slowly at that time.

"Yes, I am obsessed with ghosts, so I let her encounter similar things."

Hilda was extremely fragile when she was born, but in order to give her a healthy body, Gonglu consumed his vitality.

"To make sure I had a perfect heir, she passed away."

"Tsk..."

Maybe it was because the thoughts in his head started to run wild. At this moment, Hilda couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Even at this moment, her expression was not pretty.

However, she is the princess of a country after all.

Although it can't be said to be proficient, she will try her best to control her emotions and not let it affect her current actions.

"Remember to put away the ladder after you come up." She just left such a sentence, and then walked to the cabin.

And the resoluteness she showed at this time inevitably made the two soldiers behind her look at each other in dismay.

"There seems to be something wrong with her mood."

That's what Siegfried said, but before she could say anything to her uncle, he heard a voice from the princess in the cabin.

"What are you doing standing there, come in."

Chapter 89: Feelings cannot be changed

When Hilda is in a bad mood, it seems that he can show a little bit of leadership?

After hearing the princess' instructive tone, Huo De couldn't help but have such a subtle thought in his heart.

In fact, he himself has not been with a princess like Hilda for a long time. Thinking about it carefully, the last real contact may have been at Gripal's private banquet.

But at that time, they didn't say anything between them, he just remembered that the princess ordered the shield girl to bring gingerbread to cushion the taste and taste buds.

It was this incident that made him feel that Hilda was carefree but also extremely careful.

But why is she in a bad mood?

Is it because I went to see my mother's cemetery before?

As a top-ranked player, Hodder couldn't help but start to figure out the NPC's thinking mode.

After all, the performance of the characters in this scene task has a cause and effect, just like the Valkyrie I met in the Vulsong King City back then.

There should have been pursuers, but because Hodder killed the informant in advance and sent her back to Valhalla to read the article, the theoretically there should be pursuers disappeared in the plot.

According to this logic, the emotional state she displayed should not be without any reason.

Of course, the more important thing is that she was fine before.

Do you want to ask?

Then, Hodder reached out and bumped the young man beside him.

"Ok?"

"It seems that child Hilda is not in a good mood."

"I see it..."

"Go and talk to her, and then tell me what happened."

"???"

Then, what his uncle said made him a little incomprehensible.
