You and me under the world tree

"Listen, Huo De, you have endured for 20 years." Slude said

She probably also noticed that the man in front of her didn't want to talk nonsense with her at all, so at this moment, she could only try her best to suppress her words.

"Think about it carefully, why did you hold back for so long? Isn't your purpose to send Siegfried to the throne that should belong to him? On this point, we have the same idea."

Whether it's from the plot of the game or the thoughts of an outsider, as a player, Huo De really thinks so, but even so, he looks at those Valkyries with unkind eyes.

"No, I'm not like you."

When Heard said that, Sigrun lowered her head. Her brain is actually a bit messed up now, because after more than 20 years, she has no idea that Thor, the leader of the Valkyries who has been living in God's Domain, Slude's daughter will get acquainted with the characters in the atrium.

Although her attitude is extremely kind, it's just that her personality tends to be gentle.

The kingdom's traditional education that she has always received made her subconsciously place the gods of Asgard on a high place, and coupled with Slude's true and vigorous attitude all the time, she could never have imagined that There will be an acquaintance between the two.

And Slude is different, if the person in front of her is not Huo De, with the violent temper she inherited from her father, if the anger really surges up, she might not just swing it up with a hammer now.

However, he is different after all...

"Yes, it's not the same, but even for Siegfried, you can't just kill him here, can you? Now the internal conflicts in the Netherlands are extremely serious. If Legney, the king, dies, it is inevitable that he will be torn apart. At that time, it will be even more difficult for Siegfried to regain the throne and territory, don't you understand this, that's why you have endured it for 20 years!"

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true...

Even though Huo De is just a keyboard man, but as a person living in a modern background, he can learn too much through Internet channels, so when Slude mentioned this, he couldn't help but start to take a deep breath.

"Hodder." Seeing that the other party had calmed down, Slude also heaved a sigh of relief, at least this was a good start, and she also had too much to say, and even wanted to remind him of many things.

However, before Valkyrie could say the next thing, he spoke directly:

"I have a question."

"Ok?"

"I heard that Skoti was once your leader."

For a moment, Slude felt something was wrong. Although this question seemed irrelevant, she always felt that this topic seemed to have deep meaning.

"Yes, but she has returned to the Well of Fate, living with her sisters..."

"Then I want to ask, is her prophecy credible?"

The fluffy words directly made Slude's complexion ugly, as if he had thought of something bad.

Chapter 55: The two have nothing to do with each other, right?

The goddess of the future, Shikoti, is one of the three goddesses of Noren. She has two older sisters.

There are different opinions on the origin of the three sisters. Their identities are not as clear as those of the Asa Protoss and the Vanir Protoss, and it is not even known whether they are related by blood. The nearest 'God', because the legendary Well of Destiny is on the edge of Midgard, it can be reached on foot.

In the world view of "Nine Realms", countless people travel long distances, leave the atrium on foot, and experience many obstacles to come to the edge of the Well of Fate just to inquire about their own destiny. From Uld, they can learn about their past and identity , You can know your current goal from Verdante, and what you know from Shikoti is your end.

This is unavoidable even for the gods, because Odin once received a prophecy about the "end" from Shikoti, so he has been preparing for the arrival of that moment all the time.

It can be said that Shikoti's prophecy is not a good thing for humans or gods, so when it comes to Shikoti's prophecy, even Slude can't help showing a bad expression.

Especially Hodder's words...

"Is her prophecy credible?"

This sentence really has the taste of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. If Huo De asked such a question 60 years ago, Slude would not be surprised, but now, she feels a little irony inexplicably.

"Her prophecy has never been missed..." Looking at the cloudy eyes under Hodder's helmet, Slude said this after hesitating for a moment, "Including many people are like this, you know."

Although she thought she took care of Huo De's emotions, because even she herself was unwilling to mention what happened to the Siegmund family who had been together for a while and could even be called "friends", but her kind Obscure reminder' is tantamount to deception.

Because Huo De's circle in the entire game is not that big, he has always been in passive contact with NPCs, if it is not required by the mission, he will not look at the passers-by on the side of the road, and the background of the game is really miserable. Only a few were saved, so...

"Huh..." Hodder took a deep breath

Looking at Slude's face that he was so familiar with, he smiled. The logical thinking of these NPCs is really "Nordic". No big deal.

But because of this, as a player and an outsider, Hodder couldn't accept it, not only the fate theory unique to Viking and Norse legends, but also the player's anger at the limitations of the game. Of course, The most important thing is that Hodder himself cannot accept their attitude!

"If..." he said, "If you didn't play various roles in it, would they have such a result?"

Maybe, he has really calmed down. In Slude's eyes, compared to the hysteria he showed before when he even abandoned his honor and dignity, he is indeed calmed down now.

But even so, from his dull hoarseness, what the Valkyrie felt was a lingering coldness, and behind this coldness must be a condensed anger from the very beginning.

When did this dissatisfaction begin to accumulate...

In the end, Slude's memory was frozen in the former city of Volsung, yes, it was at the funeral of the current Enheria leader Helgi. He did not attend directly, but wandered alone On the outside, and after everything was over, he walked into the tomb alone.

He stayed in the grave alone for a long time like this...

But that was just a complete explosion, and the dissatisfaction with the existence of the Valkyrie probably came earlier.

Moreover, just as he is questioning now, Hodder has never been a person who does not believe in 'fate', but...

"Yes, no matter what, this is fate, whether it is human beings or us..."

"Then tell me, what are the warriors gathered in Valhalla for?"

Then, Slude's breath stagnated, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

To put it bluntly, Hodder still couldn't let it go, and what he said was something Slude couldn't refute no matter what. After all, this man had learned the runes, and after that, he even deciphered the words on Midgard's golden shield. The prophecy—that is the prophecy left by the goddess of fate to everyone.

If you really don't care, or accept your fate, then Asgard doesn't have to be in a long state of preparation.

She had no way to refute, and she didn't want to refute in this regard, so she simply shut up.

Seeing that the other party kept silent about it, Huo De finally shook his head.

"To put it bluntly, there is no necessary connection between them."

His eyes were cloudy, the kind of pupils that couldn't see any light were only deep, and Slude just stared at this kind of deepness. She wanted to say something several times, but in the end she still didn't say anything. Exit, waiting for Hodder's words.

"These are all caused by you."

Then, Slude showed a look of astonishment.

"and many more……"

Originally, she thought that with Huo De's experience and wisdom, he should be able to say some high-level theories in line with his status as a "sage", but this final conclusion directly slapped her in the face.

This feeling is like a child who made a mistake and blamed each other. It was difficult to explain the responsibility clearly, but he just threw it on the gods of God's Domain.

But is Hodder really wrong?

"If I remember correctly, I have proposed several times to slow down the war in a relatively mild way. I once hoped to resolve the conflict faster through negotiation, but how did you do it?"

It wasn't Slude, she had already returned to God's Domain at that time, and Hodder was referring to the Valkyrie who acted on behalf of the gods...

"Instigating wars, making the foundation of the country unstable, and laying dead bodies everywhere, the dead in the entire Midgard can form two or three kingdoms!"

His words echoed in the palace like this, and at the same time, his eyes were not idle, and he kept looking at these NPCs without bright blood bars.

Sigrun closed his eyes tightly, and Slude lowered his head. As for the other Valkyries, they did have deep thoughts on their faces, but more people showed disdain. The 'coward' label has never been removed.

"I would like to ask, what exactly do you want to do?"

If his question is put in reality, it is of course very reasonable, but this is "Nine Realms", where the game world view is traditional and rough, and the values ​​​​of the Viking period are vividly reflected here.

"That's enough, it's your own business that you are tired of war! I don't know how the glorious people have the right to talk about Midgard's tradition!"

In this way, such a voice came from among the Valkyrie crowd.

But before such a voice fell, Huo De waved his hand directly, and the combination of the three skill combinations that were almost bound together was released directly, and the three throwing knives shot from the item bar directly pierced the speaker's head, Neck and chest, nailed directly through.

Completely different from Legney's operation of not showing the blood bar, the Valkyrie quickly revealed her blood bar after being attacked-but because of this fatal attack, the blood bar was already empty.

"Hold your traditions and go back to Valhalla and wait to read the article, what kind of bitch who is waiting to climb into the bed of the 'hero' has the face to talk nonsense in front of me!"

The body of the Valkyrie fell limply, and at this moment, almost all the Valkyries behind Sigrun summoned their weapons. No matter who they were, their faces were full of anger. Among them, only Sigrun didn't, and the woman finally lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly.

"Why, are you not convinced?"

Chapter 56: The Dark Rebel

All of a sudden, the atmosphere that had been somewhat relaxed turned sharply. The relationship between Hodder and the Valkyrie was not good at first—especially the group of Valkyrie stationed in the Netherlands, as early as 20 years ago. After World War I, there was no friendship between them at all, not to mention that Hodder had already drifted further and further away from the Valkyries in various opinions before that.

But it's no wonder that the so-called tradition of Midgard can only be described by the word 'deformity' in the eyes of Hodder, who has received modern education. Human beings seem to be beautiful, but they are firmly restrained in a cage.

What's more frightening is not here. What's even more frightening is that these people actually regard it as an 'honor'. The 'Valkyrie' selected from the beautiful, elegant princesses or heroic women of various princes and nobles is even more of a kind. 'Symbol'.

From what they said now, and their attitudes towards God's Domain and the entire Midgard, it can be seen that they have no regrets at all, because the moment they became Valkyrie and bound to Valhalla, they had already become God's Domain Part of - at least on the surface.

Of course, in Midgard's tradition, this is a kind of honor. They have the wings bestowed by the gods, can ride the horses of God's Domain, or simply fly on the battlefield with their wings.

Therefore, when someone seriously insulted this status and humiliated this traditional glory, most of them almost had an angry look on their faces.

But what about even anger?

It is true that the identity of the Valkyrie gave them the ability to fly, and they could theoretically go to any place in the Nine Realms, but this identity given by the gods did not help them improve their combat effectiveness much.

Of course, among the Valkyries, there are many guys with strong fighting power - Slude is one of them. I think Hodder was hanged and beaten by this guy Slude at the beginning, and his scalp was numb when he hit him with a lightning long-handled hammer, but at that time His level is also very low, not to mention that the two-handed sword skill point has not been fully filled, and the magic skill tree has only a basic point.

In Slude's own words, after all, it was 60 years ago. At that time, Hodder was just a fledgling ordinary soldier, but now...

"Why, are you dissatisfied?" Huo De asked after glancing at the women who had taken out their weapons, "Perhaps, you need a little time to recall the previous battles?"

Perhaps it was because they really remembered the so-called battles in the past, the expressions of these Valkyries were uncertain, but in the end, no one attacked first.

But even so, the atmosphere gradually became dignified. Hodder took two steps back a little, distanced himself from Slud who was standing beside him, and at the same time, put his hand on the rune sword behind his back. .

All it takes is a signal, or even a slight disturbance, and this place will once again cause bloodshed—at least from the perspective of the Thunder Valkyrie nearby, so she had to stop this meaningless conflict.

"Enough, Hodder..." she began

The tall and supreme Valkyrie walked slowly. She didn't take out her weapon, but just walked to the position between Huo De and those Valkyrie, and her wide spread wings covered half of the people instantly. It's like protecting them.

"Enough, put away your weapons."

As the leader, the daughter of Thor, the god of thunder, who lives in the realm of the gods, has spoken like this. Of course, other people have no reason to veto or not follow. An excuse, so soon, these women put away their weapons.

"It's really obedient..."

"Hodder." Before the soldier's ironic words blurted out, Slude interrupted him hastily.

And when she interrupted her, Huo De finally turned his attention to her. He stared at her beautiful face, at her unchanging armor, hammer and wings, and even looked at the hair on her head. The orange-red badge of faction—once upon a time, it was the green of goodwill.

But he doesn't miss it, whether he is a player or a warrior who has forgotten his identity as a player and lost in this game world, he doesn't regret it.

"I'll say it again, Slude, all of this is caused by you."

"Fate cannot be defied, Hodder..."

"But you didn't even give them the chance to work hard."

He smiled, even though it was covered by a helmet, Slude could still detect his sarcastic smile. Although his eyes were cloudy, his dull and hoarse tone would not change in any way.

"Is this kind of behavior really fate? I'm afraid it's not the case." He said, "Siegmund didn't have your interference. He should be living in the Netherlands with his brothers at this moment. He doesn't have the holy sword." It might not have happened at all.”

As for the throne, as for the name of the king and even the hero, are these important?

"Actually, I really want to ask, since you value honor so much..." His eyes swept across Slude's face, and he paused every word, that kind of words is simply a taboo, "Then why did you stop the war with Warner? "

The leader of the Valkyries couldn't help biting his lips when he heard those things that were extremely old to Slude himself.

Slude hadn't experienced that era of protoss confrontation. At that time, her father Thor was the number one warrior of Asa, but she hadn't experienced it didn't mean she didn't know.

And this kind of thing is easy to compare...

"So don't use the so-called 'fate' to fool me, anyway, it's just what you gods are talking about."

After saying that, Huo De turned around and left directly, but before leaving, he took a deep look at the stupid king who has been in a coma until now.

He actually wanted to stab him again, but now that the Valkyrie is here, this kind of thing can't be done, and he can't be stabbed to death——No matter what, the Valkyrie will save him, so in the end, he just left.

He just walked down the steps step by step, the steps were extremely heavy, and the metal frontier boots would make a heart-pounding sound when they knocked on the steps. He was carrying the Rune War Sword, and behind him was the burning palace. Behind him, there was no movement.

"Lord Slude, do you just let him go like this?" Just as the Valkyrie with the hammer in her hand watched the warrior go away, such a question came from her ear.

The questioner was Sigrun, and Slude remembered her. She was married to Helgi, the mortal hero and the current leader of Enheria, but she was not a vase. It can be seen from the tone - to put it bluntly, she just wanted to make a formality.

Brainless people will only follow suit and be proud of it, but those who learn to think will probably only feel tired at this moment, especially Slude, who wants to cherish the friendship established 60 years ago, but Her position and responsibilities are unconsciously inclined to the God Realm where she is - the Asa Protoss.

"quack!"

Just as the soldier was walking away, the raven in the sky was also shouting, and when she heard the shouting of the raven, Slude's complexion suddenly became ugly, as if she had heard something.

She couldn't help looking at the distance. There, at the bottom of the steps of the palace, the man in the frontier armor stood still. He stood still like a sculpture, as if he was remembering and waiting. nothing the same.

It's fine if you don't go...
