You and me under the world tree

When Hodder's voice lingered in his ears, Hewale always felt that the thoughts in his mind suddenly became brighter.

At this moment, the blind alleys and horns that I drilled into before completely disappeared, and there was nothing left.

Although in fact, Hodder only used a little bit of conversation skills to arouse the empathy that existed in her heart.

Although she still didn't know who Hodder was talking about, what he said was fact, not fiction.

And this 'fact' reminds her of things about herself.

For Howler, what happened to her mother is an eternal pain in her heart.

Because of his mother's death and the last call, Hewale has always hated his father who is a 'war mad'.

If it wasn't for his deeds, if he hadn't provoked the war that almost swept across the entire northern peninsula of the atrium, how could their family have fallen to such a state?

It's not that Hewaller doesn't know what his home used to be like.

In her spare time, her mother always told her about the past, and she knew that she once had a warm home.

In Bergen, the royal city of Norway, she originally had a group of uncles who had no idea about the throne. She had a mother and brothers and sisters.

Without the war that swept across the entire northern peninsula, she should have been able to be born in a milder environment.

Moreover, her mother did not have to suffer from the harsh environment of the northern seas, and her brothers and sisters were able to survive.

There is no need to fight at all, and there is no need for people to die all the time.

So, for a while after her mother died, she kept resenting her father.

Although with the passage of time, she now pays more attention to the construction of the abandoned port, but this does not mean that she has no thoughts about it.

Time to dilute resentment or something is just a joke, the reason why you feel 'diluted' is because you have other things to be busy with.

It is like a needle piercing my heart forever, and as time goes by, this needle will pierce deeper and deeper.

In the end, although it may not be visible at all on the surface, once she thinks about it in her spare time, when the matter is brought before her again, she will recall the biting resentment at the beginning.

And now, she has looked through her diary related to her father.

Those vague, time-tested diaries record the mental journey of her father, who she has always regarded as a 'war mad'.

There is no turning back, a chess piece that is pushed forward...

However, under the circumstances of internal and external troubles at that time, he had to do that.

She felt guilty about her father, Angentyr, whom she didn't know much about, and this guilt eventually turned into hatred for the 'culprit'.

God...

This word, which has always been praised by people outside, corroded her heart like a poison, causing her pain and at the same time filled her heart with unimaginable hatred for ordinary people.

Then, she finally lifted her head.

"What can I do?"

Then Hodder's fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the boat.

"This kind of thing, I don't think I should teach it."

What is revenge?

What is revenge?

This kind of thing is completely based on the choice made by one's own ability.

Just like Hreidmar, when he knew he couldn't survive, he chose to keep the 'technology' that could restrain the gods.

Sealed it in the depths of the brain of his eldest son Fafnir with magic, and then presented him to the possible 'Dragon Slayer'.

Of course, in fact, this kind of action was a big gamble for Hreidmar himself, but he probably had no choice at the time.

And for the current Hewale, what can she do?

Then, under the gaze of the sage, she slowly closed her eyes.

She clenched her fists tightly, as if trying to endure something, and at the end, she suddenly opened her eyes.

At this moment, she seemed to calm down suddenly.

Her eyes were extremely clear at this moment.

Then, as the scar on her face squirmed, she spoke:

"I'm afraid that's what you want to see."

It is true that there is anger and hatred in Hewale's heart, but the reason why she has been able to lead the abandoned port step by step and survive until now is because of her maturity that has been tempered and grown up quickly.

Even in her extreme rage, she retained the last sliver of sanity that finally made her aware of Hodder's role in it.

"While I'm indecisive, you're trying to provoke me into making a certain decision."

However, facing Hewale's increasingly dangerous gaze, Hodder seemed unmoved at all, as if he was still extremely calm.

Completely different from the 'young' Herwaller, who had it all written on his face, Hodder seemed to belong to the kind of character who kept it all in his heart.

"It might be a good idea, though."

In the end, just under this kind of staring, He Huale couldn't help laughing.

"Because, like you said, I can't hold my breath."

Even clay figurines are angry, let alone real human beings.

It would be fine if the so-called "human beings" were just walking corpses with empty shells, but when the king of gods and the gods created human beings, they not only endowed them with life and breath, but also gave them soul, wisdom and five senses.

Although there is a lot of difference in terms of life expectancy, human beings have their own moods and moods.

They have a wide range of emotions, and hatred and anger are taken for granted.

And as a human being, what exactly can Hewale himself do?

It's simple...

She is not an idiot, she has already understood the significance of the atrium world to the gods after a rough reading of her father's diary.

As a huge and cruel 'barracks', what the gods need is to maintain the status quo of the atrium world: almost fixed power and frequent wars.

The mutual struggle between several kingdoms to maintain the status quo will not be completely destroyed, and a large number of talents born for war can emerge.

Such Midgard is in the best condition for those gods in the domain of God, because it means a steady stream of heroic souls and servants.

Then, what she, who is also a human being, can do is very simple.

"Stop the war..." she said suddenly.

This is what she thinks, but to be precise, the rhetoric of preventing war is not necessarily correct.

"Maintain the stability of the entire atrium to a certain extent, and cut off the war..."

And she believed that what Hodder thought in his heart should be the same.

And if she wants to do this, she needs too many things.

It is not enough to rely solely on the group of people in the abandoned port, and even if the Volsung family is restored, it is not enough to rely solely on the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

It might take a long time, but that doesn't matter.

Because, for the current Hewale, if she doesn't take this step, she will never be able to see clearly the road ahead.

Chapter 93: The Fire of Rebellion

basically became...

After seeing the determination on Hewale's face, Huo De basically confirmed this matter in his heart.

After all, she is not the kind of person who would fight for the 'freedom of all mankind'.

To her, this kind of purpose seems too "fake and empty", without any sense of reality.

But what about another reason?

Although it should be a similar idea, but the idea of ​​'I don't want to encounter this kind of thing again' or 'I want to take revenge on such a high god' can make her more motivated.

At the same time, Hewale is not an idiot. What is stuffed in her head is not solidified muscles, but the qualities and wisdom that a leader should possess.

When Hodder heard related words like 'severing the war' from her mouth, Hodder knew that her brain was still functioning.

And more importantly, her idea actually coincided with his idea.

The gods want to continue to control Midgard, so as humans, what they can do is to make full use of the rules of the atrium, and then completely cut off the hand of the gods extending to the atrium.

The best way is to stop war.

As for how to break off the war, not to mention the reality, in fact, someone in Midgard has already given the answer.

Harald, Wartooth King of Old Denmark...

He lived in an era when wars rarely broke out within the Atrium.

Not because of anything else, just because he caused wars everywhere when he was young, inherited the throne and fought everywhere since he was 14 or 15 years old, and when he was extremely old and almost blind, he almost unified the atrium.

Although those newly conquered kingdoms may not be very obedient, but because Harald is the king of the gods and the warrior favored by the gods, they dare not move much after being conquered.

Later, as Harald's rule became more stable, he sent his children and relatives to take over those territories, and after he sealed one king after another, he almost wiped out the 'war' completely.

Perhaps there was still considerable friction between the various territories, but there was no large-scale war again.

Regardless of the tragic war that broke out after his death and almost brought the entire atrium back to its original form, at least before his death, except for the dark and dark battle that was said to be the last battle dedicated to the gods, among Midgard There are no more large-scale wars.

Yes, this is completely within the rules of the method.

It doesn't require the parties to have any great strength, as long as the atrium world has another character who is as talented and strategic as Harald back then.

And to be honest, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be difficult.

If in the big expansion piece [Song of the Nibelungen], the official of World Tree Corporation relaxes the freedom of plot selection and completely separates the plot from the gameplay, then Hodder feels that he is still quite sure to unify .

Even, he doesn't need 'Harald', he doesn't need a unified atrium at all.

For Hodder, what matters is 'cutting the war'.

When the gods can't bear it anymore, they will definitely take action, and when the gods completely stand on the opposite side of humans, the situation in the entire atrium will become very clear.

Although Huo De probably could have guessed that there would be a bunch of dog legs from the gods at that time, but the fire of 'resistance' would be planted in this way.

As long as people realize that the gods are not as high as they think, that they are not all-knowing and omnipotent, but just some relatively powerful and advanced beings, then there will be endless fires of resistance in their hearts.

There are those who are willing to follow the gods and accept the rule of the gods, but there are also many people who really hate the never-ending war and want to end it.

Huo De just kept his head down, thinking about things about the atrium world, and then, all of a sudden, he stretched out his index finger, and a ball of flame burst out from the fingertip.

But at this moment, because the flame came out of nowhere, Hewale was actually frightened.

But in the end, she stabilized her emotions.

There was no excessive consternation, nor did he ask why the other party did such a thing.

Because, in the suddenly rising flame, He Huale felt that he had seen many things.

"Maybe, after a long time, the atrium will look like this." She said

However, Howard did not respond.

For the silence expressed by the sage, He Huale also regarded him as acquiescing.

Because this kind of thing is tacit, if the gods are completely forced to the opposite side of the atrium, then the entire atrium world is destined to be bloody.

However, Hewerer didn't care about this.

Human beings are a group, but they are also individuals.

Now they don't even have to think about the survival of the whole at all, because their own survival is always threatened.

So, should I choose "slow death" and wait for the gods to plot against me at some point, or should I use the rules of war in the atrium world to make a big deal without knowing it?

Don't even think about this kind of thing.

In fact, up until now, Howale had no real sense of Norway's so-called throne.

Although her mother tried her best to instill this knowledge in her, but no sense is no sense.

But for the current her, she still has a lot of motivation.

Then, at this moment, accompanied by the whistling cold sea wind, there was a sound of sea water being blown away.

In the northern seas, there are basically only two kinds of people who can make this kind of sound, the first is sea beasts, and the second is ships.
