You and me under the world tree

"?"

"And if you want to talk about why, because you are the king, this kind of 'conspiracy' that is not on the table, leave it to your future subordinates to play."

Chapter 24: Kingly Way

Because you are a king, you can't learn about this?

When Huo De directly vetoed his unspoken idea, Siegfried was inexplicably upset.

Why can't I learn?

"What's wrong with the king? I heard that Helgi was an almighty hero at that time." Driven by some kind of resentment in his heart, Siegfried couldn't help but speak.

All of a sudden, he mentions someone, quite abruptly.

Even at this moment, Hodder didn't react for a while.

What does this have to do with Helgi?

Then, after looking up and seeing Siegfried's unyielding appearance, Hodder couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

He thinks he understands a little bit.

After all, Helgi was a hero who became famous all over the world when he was young.

Although he burned brightly like a shooting star but disappeared, his deeds and legends left a deep impression on people.

A hero trained by the king and leader of Enheria.

For Siegfried, what is more important is his original identity: the disciple of the sage Hodder.

Although he doesn't think he can surpass the "eternal boy" who became the leader of the heroic warriors in the mouth of the Valkyrie, it doesn't mean that he will lower his identity.

"I know I'm not as good as Helji, but uncle, you can't just deprive me of the right to education."

Because he really wouldn't get angry with his uncle, Siegfried could only complain in a low voice in the end.

However, even though he had deliberately lowered his voice, the dryness in his words still revealed his state of mind at the moment.

After all, he was a young man.

Although the huge pressure made him grow faster than ordinary people, it has only been a few years since he changed his mentality from an ordinary blacksmith apprentice to now sitting in the meeting hall and handling the government affairs of his territory.

Although this period of time has allowed him to grow into a hero that most people look up to, he can't get rid of the remaining childishness when facing the elders.

"Do you think I'm biased?" Looking at Siegfried's complicated expression, Hodder couldn't help asking.

Then Siegfried froze.

Maybe it's because Huo De said it too directly, or maybe it's because he didn't expect his uncle to guess his mind in an instant.

He himself froze there, and it wasn't until the end that he nodded slowly.

did not speak...

After all, for most people, it is a great challenge to admit that they have jealousy in their hearts.

However, Siegfried didn't refute anything, because the refutation didn't make any sense.

"Do you think that you can become the second Helgi?"

"No, no, I never thought about it that way."

Then Siegfried raised his voice slightly.

In fact, he was clearly lying.

Becoming the second Helgi does not mean that he must become the leader of Enheria like that boy, but it is certain that he wants to be an excellent person like him.

Not to mention, Siegfried still had the same blood flowing in his body.

Also as a descendant of Volsunger and son of Siegmund, such an excellent Helgi has become a benchmark, and his existence even symbolizes the upper limit of the Volsunger family.

Of course, Siegfried himself was not arrogant.

He won't boast that he can definitely surpass Helji, but at least he demands the same 'teaching treatment', isn't that too much?

"Hergine's strategy to command the Heroic Spirits is not innate, is it?" In the end, Siegfried just muttered

And when he said that, Huode's eyebrows couldn't help but raised, and after that, he even laughed outright.

"Is this what you care about?"

When Siegfried said this, Hodder fully understood.

On the one hand, Siegfried felt that he had hidden secrets in teaching, so he taught his first disciple Helji with all his money, and he hid the "strategy" he had been showing all the time.

However, he still got one thing wrong after all.

Although as a matter of fact, Huo De has indeed hidden such a hand, but the reason why he hides this hand is not because of selfishness, but because Siegfried himself can't use it at all.

As a king, especially a king who is about to rule the entire Netherlands, Siegfried still has too many things to do.

And Heerji can command the 'hero', he relies on intrigue?

No, it's not.

There is indeed a gap between Siegfried and Helgi, but this gap is not in this kind of 'calculation'.

"What I taught Helji, I will teach you the same." In the end, Huo De just spoke slowly.

However, he is not the kind of person who would lie in this regard, so he said those words very happily:

"I did teach Helgi this 'calculation' before, but at that time, he was not a king, just a prince, so he could do what he wanted to do."

What happened to Helge at the time?

There is the eldest brother Simfi Otley in the charge, his father is the real commander of the three armies, the overall strategy is in charge of the teacher, and even his brother Hammond (Hamond) is not a mediocrity.

When almost all positions are filled, he can of course check for gaps and make up for omissions in all aspects like his own teacher, and even calculate enemies one by one.

"He was brought up to be a king, and the moment he did ascend the throne, he had to give up the life he was used to."

Because the king had to sit in the center, he could lead the army to conquer in person, but it was impossible for Hodder to personally check every detail.

Helgi knew this well. He knew that he would ascend the throne in the future, so he would travel with his new wife at that time before that.

Perhaps in his opinion, when he has had enough fun and spent all his youth, he can come back to inherit his father's throne with peace of mind.

But then...

"In short, you are different." Looking at Siegfried today, Hodd said, "You are just like Siegmund. You have to shoulder the responsibility of the king since you were young, and you won't have any free time to do it." Arrange any strategy yourself."

Huo De doesn't think he is a good teacher, because his major is not the right one, but he knows what Siegfried needs.

The strategic reserves in Siegfried's head are not for him to plan and use, but for him to resolve and deal with them.

"You are very similar to Siegmund, child, your foothold has never been the machinations in the royal court, but the army... Control your army and treat the civilians well, then your throne will be unshakable."

After all, in this hero-worshiping world, certain intrigues may make the difference for a while, but they can't change the overall situation.

"Be kind to the people around you, distinguish between good and evil, pay attention to rewards and punishments, and be upright. No conspiracy can shake the most fundamental overall situation."

This is the kingly way, and it is the most suitable approach for Siegmund and Siegfried.

"Originally, these should not be taught by me at all, because I am not a king. If Siegmund is still alive, of course it would be better for him to teach himself. He is more suitable than me to talk about this."

What Hodder said was not being modest, because it was a fact.

Siegmund was born as a king, and he was also the king who expanded the territory. He has experienced the destruction and revival of the country, and he is very suitable to talk about this.

His experience in governing the country can be directly mentioned.

"Father..."

"Remember, Siegfried, a king is not omnipotent. Intrigue? Political strategy? Actually, these are secondary."

When he said this, Hodder closed his eyes.

Regardless of the reality, in a "human world" that advocates personal force, this kind of statement is definitely not wrong.

"You need to understand the source of your power, where your warriors and your army come from. As long as you understand these and then put them into action, you will be an excellent king."

Chapter 25: The Return of the Treasure Hunters!

Huo De actually thought very clearly, no matter from the perspective of reality or the broken game of "Nine Realms", it is actually very difficult to find a monarch who is in the sky with a strategy.

There are really very few people who count the world and the gods like Griple.

But if you think about it carefully, Griple remembers in the settings that he came back from an adventure when he was young, and he ascended the throne when all his elders, father and brothers were dead.

As a lonely and wandering adventurer, Gripal has been facing everything around him alone, whether it is good or bad, he takes it all together.

Even later, he went to the kingdom of giants and married the daughter of the giant king.

Of course Hodder believed that they were true love, because until now, he had never married a wife after his wife died, but he must have encountered considerable obstacles on the way to marry the daughter of the giant king.

To be able to succeed and even defeat his possible rivals in love, he is not a rookie with extremely poor strategies.

But in reality, if you think about it carefully, no matter what era it is in, those monarchs who created a prosperous world are either counting on their laurels, or they must have one or two subordinates who are proficient in this area.

If there are both aspects, then it is not impossible to expand outward and play the style of the nation and dynasty.

After all, the characters who sit on the throne and stand at the top of the kingdom don't need to be too good.

Whether it is a pioneer or a successor, that system is already there.

Even, to put it a bit more extreme, even if the king himself is unpopular, or even intrepid, as long as he keeps an army in his hands, before he completely loses the hearts of the people, other people will have to weigh whether they can succeed even if they rebel.

In this regard, Huo De obviously does not need to go into too much detail, because in terms of the plot level, he is already paving the way.

Whether it is emphasizing the "unshakable authority of the Volsung family" or the set of "since ancient times", these are all laying the foundation.

Even, until now, Hodder has not let Siegfried appoint any lords, or even let him promise any territory, all of which are laying the foundation for power.

All the decision-making power is concentrated on Siegfried alone. This is certainly a kind of high pressure, but only in this way can his position be guaranteed.

Although a basic grass-roots team has been built, the departments that make up the system have not yet been fully classified.

For the soldiers and civilians other than the abandoned port, their only leader is Siegfried, who has not yet become king.

Moreover, at the moment when several decrees and announcements are fully made public, Siegfried's own prestige should be established.

why?

Because it was Siegfried who used the inheritance left to him by his father to pay the soldiers, and it was he who formed a caravan to purchase the most basic food from abroad to maintain his daily needs.

Finally, the effect of the 'treasure hunt revelation':

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men who win the trust of the people.

He had told Siegfried about these effects, and they were all dignified strategies.

No matter who those gathered around Siegfried were, what purpose did they have.

As long as Siegfried firmly controls the initiative in this area, he will tell the world: Descendants of Volsung: Siegfried will do what he says.

If you can do this, then there is no problem!

As for the others, Hodder didn't want to interfere.

Whether it is the appointment and dismissal of personnel or the distribution of power, these can only be taken care of by Siegfried himself.

"All the power of the Netherlands comes from you. You are the supreme commander of the army. You appoint the various officers, captains, and even legion commanders in your territory. You personally appoint your ministers, ministers, and assistants. "

After saying this, Hodder opened his dim eyes.

"You never have to do everything, Siegfried, because you don't have the time to 'refine,' and that work can only be given to someone else."

The so-called king is the core, it is not the best, and it cannot even be fully responsible for certain functions, but it is indispensable, because everything revolves around the king.

"This chariot of the Netherlands, all you need to hold is the reins."

Finally, Hodder took a sip of black tea.

Suddenly, he felt that the tea he had just brewed was a bit weak, and then he took out a sugar bag.

'sand--'

While Siegfried was still immersed in what his uncle said, Huo De took another sip of sweet tea, and he was satisfied.

"At the end of the day, whether it's good or necessary evil, you don't have to do it yourself, because someone else will do it for you."

'Boom dong dong'
