You and me under the world tree

"That's really great! Speaking of which, I haven't eaten a meal made by my uncle for a long time."

Although the voice was very close to his ears, Hagen felt that the voice was inexplicably far away, and he was even in a trance at this moment.

He seemed to have lost the ability to think.

But at this moment, he was sure of one thing: today was the best day he'd had since his mother died.

"Hagen, I almost forgot, do you know how to drink?"

"meeting."

"Okay, let's make gestures later!"

Siegfried's voice was very loud, and the sound insulation effect of this room is really not very good, and Huo De in the kitchen can also hear these words.

"It's really...the father and son look the same." The sage sighed

"Hod! Can you drink? Let's make gestures!"

"Teacher! I want to drink!"

Unknowingly, Hodder always felt that certain scenes could emerge in front of his eyes.

Then, he couldn't help but feel a little bad.

"Volsunger's family is full of drunkards, how many times have I reminded them that drinking is a mistake."

Although Hodder complained like this, he finally cooled a bottle of mead with magic to make it refreshing.

Chapter 29: A pool of talent

The Volsung family kept their word, and what Siegfried said was true.

Unknowingly, with the constant return of treasure hunters, the news spread like wildfire.

Because there is no need for special publicity at all, those who have really gained wealth will take the initiative to spread the news.

Because not everyone like Hagen can play magic and easily store the acquired wealth, and when they leave, this money is destined to be exposed in the public eye.

They may form a team of several partners, work together to find the treasure left by Siegmund, or they may pass the test alone like Hagen, relying on their personal wisdom and outstanding ability.

In any case, in the next period of time, the property that Huo De himself placed in various places and set up layers of tests continued to return to the hands of the Volsunger family.

Along with this process, one after another characters who had been ignored by various kingdoms appeared in the territory of the Netherlands.

"Hrolf, Bodvar, Whitesag, these are all famous heroes."

In the meeting hall, Siegfried snapped his fingers like a happy child.

From the very beginning, he still felt that the backlog of government affairs on him was too heavy, so heavy that he almost didn't even have time for the necessary daily sword practice and galloping outside.

However, when the previous series of arrangements had already begun to close the net, he found that he had unintentionally relaxed a lot.

Because the ones he summoned were not all those reckless men who only knew how to use brute force, especially those 'tests' arranged by his uncle Huo De.

If you don't have a brain, it's almost impossible to find the treasure.

However, there are still too few people like Hagen who have a certain amount of strength in themselves and at the same time witty wisdom.

If you count carefully, Half is one of them.

However, their two backgrounds are not normal, and they cannot be completely measured from the perspective of 'normal people'.

Hagen...

Although because of the "illegitimate child" in the end lead to no status within the kingdom.

He has no inheritance rights, no right to walk in the sun and reveal his identity like other princes and princesses.

But at least he had an education, and his mother was a dwarf.

There has been no recent news about the Kingdom of Burgundy, but not everyone knows magic. Under such circumstances, Siegfried prefers to believe that Hagen's deceased mother taught him magic.

Although it is true that Hagen himself has outstanding talents, his family education since childhood is also very important.

And it was Half who joined later who could be on par with him.

Compared with Hagen, who was not much famous before, Halff from Denmark actually already has a little reputation.

That fame isn't all positive, though.

If you inquire a little bit, Harf himself doesn't seem to have a good reputation in Denmark.

He originally came from the Danish royal family, but he was not the child of King Elf, but the posthumous son of Elf's dead brother.

As a member of the royal family, he didn't like the royal court. Instead, he walked among the people. After gathering a group of relatives and friends, they started to do things in the border area.

Then he was asked to create a small faction of his own, but the job was still similar to that of a mercenary.

When Denmark is at war with other kingdoms, they are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield or finishing a certain war.

This behavior is like that of a poultry eating carrion.

Kraki...

People who have heard of this name call him by this name, and the literal translation of this word is 'raven'.

It is said that when someone visited Half, a raven was even seen perched on his seat.

But these are just legends, and no one knows the specifics.

However, although there are various rumors about Half, Siegfried has also seen him and knows what kind of person he is.

Be kind and charitable, bold and unrestrained!

It was also because of his outrageously forthright character that a group of people had gathered around him before he came to the Netherlands.

However, being unrestrained doesn't mean that you don't have a brain. Half was able to manage a lot of power on the Danish border by himself, which means that he has a good brain.

However, after all, Half is not the kind of character suitable for playing tricks.

How should I put it, he does have an excellent strategic vision, and if he uses it properly, he will even be a fierce player.

However, a fierce general is only a fierce general after all.

But even so, he can be regarded as the kind of person with a more active mind, just a little bit worse than Ragnar.

Thinking of this, Siegfried couldn't help but sigh.

Maybe other kingdoms would be genuinely happy when they recruited some powerful generals, but Siegfried didn't feel that way.

Because the more he took over those government affairs, the more he felt the importance of his brain.

After all, in the final analysis, in addition to force, wisdom is also very important to support the operation of a kingdom system.

"Uncle, tell me, why can't I recruit someone like you?"

Then, in front of Hagen standing beside him, Siegfried directly said these words.

Hagen didn't react at all to this.

If it was someone else, Hagen might still express dissatisfaction or dissatisfaction, but the object was the sage of Volsung.

Then Hagen doesn't have any temper, after all, this ruthless person is the kind of person who disturbs the pattern of the atrium.

"After all, treasure hunting is just a one-sided test."

And Howard clearly doesn't think so.

"In addition, I'm actually just like this. In fact, there is nothing to compare with. Hagen is much better than me back then."

Then, Hodder cast his gaze on the man standing beside him.

And Hagen obviously didn't expect that he would be named here, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

The original sage?

Fuck, who was the sage Volsunger back then?

During the weak period when the Netherlands was just established, Siegmund's brains when he fought abroad.

When the Netherlands was first established, except for the Gothic civil strife, other kingdoms wanted to take a share, but in the end they were made to steal chickens and lose money.

Among them, this kingdom also includes Burgundy.

It is said that the then king of Burgundy, Hagen's grandfather, boasted that he was unparalleled in wisdom, but when he went out in person, there were no mothers left.

Even then, Siegmund was absent.

Also because of this reason, the king quickly fell to the root of the disease, and finally did not get rid of this knot until his death.

"You're joking." Finally, Hagen couldn't help but say so.

He is confident, he is proud, but that depends on whom.

"I'm not kidding, Hagen, you can do it too." Hodder said

Then, the sage stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Siegfried is very similar to his father, you... are much smarter than the young me, so I believe that you can go further."

Approved?

hint?

encourage?

Anyway, no matter what it was, this kind of praise from an already famous big man couldn't help but make Hagen tremble all over.

"I... try my best."

Although he said so verbally, the pride on his face was still lingering.

That's how young people are, motivated because the blood is still in their hearts.

And even more so for someone like Hagen, who is always eager to prove himself.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you here."

Then, Hodder walked outside.

After the sage left completely, Hagen turned his attention to the map of the Netherlands in his hands.

"Your Excellency the Sage is really humble." Finally, he couldn't help but say so.

He still felt that Huo De was humble, and after repeatedly experiencing the sage's previous political strategies as a counselor, he could more and more realize the gap between himself and the elder.

"I even feel that I don't need to continue to do anything. In a few months, the Hengding family may have to take action."

Because the business of the whole of Amstel and even the whole of the northern Netherlands has prospered.

Not because of anything else, because there is no need to pay tariffs here - and it's still three years.

"Then see if you can make it better?"

"Eh?"

"Try to see if you can improve it."

Facing Hagen's astonished gaze, Siegfried just smiled.

Under Siegfried's gaze, Hagen nodded slowly:

"I try my best."

Chapter 30: Role Interpretation

On the other hand, regardless of the influence of the entire Netherlands, Hodder has left the game.

And after leaving this time, what he felt in his heart was an unprecedented joy.

To be honest, to evaluate this game mechanism purely from the player's point of view, and leaving aside the feelings of old players in the previous version,

He hasn't advanced the plot much recently. If Huo De is not interested in those games that only exist in the plot, he will feel quite boring.

Because the mission instructions can no longer be described as silly batches.
