You and me under the world tree

Hod: um

Although Dietrich's words were full of haste, Hodder didn't care. After all, her time was also lunch time. If she had a job in reality, it would only be a short lunch break.

"So, what the hell is this?" Huo De finally sighed after glancing at the personal messages and posthumous photos on the forum again.

Bad mood……

Anderson, I guess I won't see you in the future.

…………

At the same time, in an abandoned warehouse not far away, a person slowly opened the door of the warehouse. He walked briskly, and the collision of shoes with the ground made a little sound, but this sound shocked everyone. Someone deep in the warehouse.

"Um..."

Accompanied by slightly painful and miserable groans, the figure in the deepest part began to roll, but because of the rope tied to her body, she couldn't move at all, until the man who stepped into the warehouse walked in and set his fingertips on fire. After the fire, her face was revealed.

Jessica...

If Huo De could be here, he must be able to see that the woman lying on the ground is Miss Valkyrie who has had a "meeting" several times, but he is not here now, and he does not know what happened here. what.

"Ah, it's been a whole day, and you haven't starved to death yet." Hearing the man's voice, Jaxide couldn't help but raise her head. She turned her head desperately, as if trying to imprint the man's face on her face. As in my own mind.

moose...

This man used to be polite, and she thought she was playing tricks on him, but it turned out that everything was the opposite. This seemingly ordinary man made people feel unfathomable.

"Ah, I almost forgot. I've lived this kind of life for so long that I forgot it. You can still be alive and kicking just by not eating for a day."

"who are you?"

"You won't know me. If you have a chance, you can ask the guys who sent you here." There was a flame in his hand, and the fire was like the sun in the sky, but it was more Hotter and more aggressive.

"Mus..." she said

This name, this pronunciation made her trace a certain possibility, maybe this is a certain place name?

"You are……"

"Hmph..." Seeing the panic and despair gradually revealed by the Valkyries, Mu Si smiled, but the smile was rather ironic, "I actually never thought that you would appear here, but if you did, there would definitely be one." reason."

This voice was a nightmare for the Valkyrie who was loyal to Asgard. Even when Jaxed was born, the former name had become a taboo legend, but it didn't mean she didn't know it.

"Tell me, what exactly are you planning? Including the so-called...game that is popular now, it seems to have a lot to do with you."

Chapter 73: Siegfried's Enlightenment

This night, Huo De didn't sleep well, and he didn't know why, but his heart was always vaguely uneasy. Words like 'curse' had brainwashed him, and he actually had dreams about it.

He dreamed of the chaotic darkness with no light source, and in it, he saw a pair of eyes—not human beings, but golden animal pupils.

And then... gone

There is no grandeur, no creation war, as if there is no time in the darkness, the silence is almost suffocating.

And in this environment, he woke up...

"Huh..." After getting up from his bed, he rubbed his eyes involuntarily. His eyes were still blurry, and he could easily distinguish the colors, but everything was covered with thick mosaics, so he couldn't see it at all. Find out what's going on around you.

And when he put on his smart glasses, the time on the clock and the still drowsy sky outside the window told him the current time: four o'clock in the morning, and he vaguely remembered that it was not too late for him to fall asleep, which was nine o'clock in the evening. That means he slept for about 9 hours.

I really don't know whether I was woken up by the nightmare or I really couldn't fall asleep...

After going to the toilet and washing his face with cold water, Huo De subconsciously recalled what he saw and heard in the dream, but at this moment, he found that he couldn't remember anything, and it could be said that there was a blur in his mind. blank.

After all, it is also the content of the dream, and it is normal to not remember it...

"Huh." Thinking of this, Huo De just sighed, he didn't think much, just picked up a towel to dry his face, and after putting on the smart glasses again, he wanted to go back to the room and squint for a while, But at this moment, the door of Lao Mu's room opposite him was suddenly opened.

"Huh, old Huo?"

The person who came out was of course Lao Mu. He was wearing pajamas and a nightcap on his head. He looked relaxed, and it was obvious from his appearance that he was not awake.

"Do you want to use the toilet?" Muth asked after yawning.

"No, I'll just wash my face." After straightening his smart glasses slightly, Hodder walked directly towards his room, and then lay down directly in his game cabin.

He can't sleep now, so he decided to continue to conceive the content of his meal: game strategy, this kind of thing is planned and polished in advance, and he has to post some progress to the forum from time to time, and he can't let those who follow him The fans are disappointed, and the only way to have a better meal is to maintain the heat.

However, when Huo De really looked at the all-round virtual screen created by the game cabin, he fell into a long silence, obviously even with both hands on the keyboard, but he just typed and deleted a paragraph, He didn't know what to write at all, and finally even flipped through his material library, looking at the cut pictures, his mind was still blank.

Then, out of nowhere, he clicked on another folder, which contained all the pictures he had 'seen with his own eyes' collected since he played "Nine Realms", including Siegmund, Zigny and others. There is their son Simfi Otley, and there is also a series of pictures of Slude... No, maybe in the "Nine Realms" that is infinitely close to reality, it should be called a photo.

These miscellaneous photos have not even been sorted out, and they look very messy, but they don't need to be sorted out, because for Hodder, the most important thing is what he can think of when he sees the screenshots in these games.

Siegmund, Zigny, Simfi Otley, Slude, with these people as the center, those images with a strong sense of substitution that he experienced at the beginning flashed in Hodder's mind, and finally, he saw A photo of women's clothing.

The child who inherited his mother's beautiful face was wearing a plain long dress, with blond hair hanging on one side, covering his face with his hands, looking ashamed.

"Hergi..." Huo De couldn't help laughing, but in the end, the smile gradually disappeared from his face, leaving only a sigh.

"Grumpy"

Then, untimely, my stomach growled like this.

"Why is my stomach growling again?"

…………

On this day, perhaps because of the first night spent in the wild, Siegfried woke up very early. When he opened his eyes, what came to his ears was not the sound of clanging iron, but the sound of Granny. The girl's nose rang, and what caught his eyes was not the room and blacksmith shop he had been familiar with since he was a child, but the slightly unfamiliar jungle.

"咴 yo yo"

After seeing her master wake up, the girl Grani neighed happily.

However, what attracted Siegfried was not his war horse, but something beside Grani—it was a wild boar, but it was obviously dead. It had been bitten on its body, but the most deadly It was the trampling wound that ran through his body.

"Have you hunted?"

"咴 yo yo"

After hearing her master's question, she neighed again, but the sound was louder, which directly broke the unique silence of the jungle, so Siegfried couldn't help but put his finger in front of his lips.

"Hush, be quiet." He looked around and looked at the other two animal skin quilts. The old dwarf obviously heard something, but he didn't want to wake up from his sleep, so he hummed there. As for his uncle Huo De, The man just leaned quietly on the animal skin, lying quietly, without any expression.

After seeing that they didn't wake up, Siegfried heaved a sigh of relief, and Lakin was fine with that. In his opinion, Huo De really needed to rest.

Even though he is an excellent fighter, even though he described the process of killing the gods lightly yesterday, but in the bottom of Siegfried's heart, his identity has not changed in any way, he is still his beloved uncle, and it is precisely because of this At one point, he would be here now.

He is not stupid. If you think about it carefully, you will know why an uncle with such strength has been forbearing until now. He has proved his strength with his record-if he wanted to, he could have completed revenge as early as 20 years ago, but He didn't, but roamed the land for 20 years in an evasive, secluded, wandering way.

And who he is for is obvious. Although in the end, he also asked his own wishes, and Siegfried did think of refusing at the beginning, but if he really refused, I am afraid that he will regret it for the rest of his life.

In Siegfried's opinion, this is no longer a matter of one person or a few people. If Siegfried really refuses, it means that nearly 20 years of waiting and hard work will be in vain. He doesn't want that, so he will Change it later.

When he was very young, he once wanted to travel and take risks in Midgard alone, with a horse and a sword, but that idea was just a prototype. Looking back now, he found that he Those ridiculous ideals actually have no purpose, far less realistic than they are now.

Maybe it's the kind of precepts and deeds that have been taught since childhood?

Lakin and Huo De erected two images for him. Although the former will not be able to create a great evil, the image of acting for himself in everything is much smaller than the latter.

Can I be like him?

Involuntarily, Siegfried had such a thought in his heart.

Maybe it's because his childhood life was so ordinary. He wasn't born with a blood feud like Simfi Otley, and he wasn't born in the glorious Volsung era like Helgi. Well, he is the adopted son of an ordinary blacksmith, even if someone told him about his blood, he didn't really feel it.

Just like that, Siegfried stared at the still burning campfire, and fell into deep thought.

Chapter 74: Raid

The Volsung family is undoubtedly glorious, whether it is Xiji, who is known as the son of Odin, or the great hero Ingwe, they all have a high reputation in this land—especially the Netherlands, and in the near Thirty years ago, Siegmund and his heirs inherited and even carried forward this glory.

Even though the Netherlands is now ruled by the Hendin family, the poetry of the heroes from the Volsung family has never disappeared. Even though King Legney ordered that singing be prohibited, it still exists.

Then, one day, I was told by others that the same blood was flowing in my body, that the famous king Siegmund who expanded the territory of the Netherlands was his father, and the former heroes Simfiotli and Helgi were his father. My brother, what kind of feeling is this?

Siegfried can answer: no feeling.

Although this is even strange to himself, it is indeed a fact. Because he has never experienced it, his understanding of the once prosperous and glorious Volsung family can only stay in writing, and there is no such thing as anything. resonance.

Maybe it's because of Lai Jin's long-standing stock-breeding policy, no one has instilled in him the concept of bravery and heroism. Under this environment, he can be said to be "raised and disabled".

Perhaps, for him, the only one who really feels real is his uncle Hodder. After all, this is a real character, not a hero who just stays in poetry, although he also has fantasies in his heart:

Under the education of the uncle who once taught the famous hero Helgi, will he become a hero?

Perhaps in terms of mentality, Siegfried can only be regarded as a half-baked guy. If Uncle Huo De knew it, he would probably shake his head and sigh. Because of this, Siegfried never told others about his mentality.

Although his uncle has agreed to teach him, and he has successfully activated the long-sleeping Holy Sword of Gorum, this is still unknown in Siegfried's eyes, because after all, he does not have that confidence.

"Alas..." Finally, Siegfried could not help but sigh.

To be honest, he originally wanted to clear his mind while his uncle and Laijin were still awake, but he didn't expect that the more he thought about it, the more muddy his head would become, and he couldn't even stir it up. Freeze there.

"Why, do you regret it?" Just as Siegfried continued to stare at the campfire, Lakin's voice suddenly came from his ear.

And when he heard this voice, Siegfried was subconsciously stunned for a moment, he hesitated at the moment, because the youthful and frivolous self-esteem left in his heart made him want to shake his head subconsciously, but the fact seemed to be that he did have some regrets, But he himself didn't know what was going on, so he could only freeze there.

"Okay, you don't need to explain anything."

However, Lai Jin is also an old man. He used to focus on forging and craftsmen, but the time of wandering and suffering can be said to have made him experience the warmth and coldness of the world. Therefore, he still has a good way of observing expressions, for example He could see Siegfried's expression at a glance.

"Although you seemed very heroic when you tamed Grani, now it seems that you are completely hot-headed, and you will start to get confused after you calm down."

no way to refute...

"This kind of half-hearted awareness and self-confidence will suffer in Midgard. Maybe you won't know when you die."

What Lakin said was thorny at all, and it could be said that it was quite uncomfortable, but Siegfried knew that he had no way to refute, so he simply shut up, and even at the end, he himself smiled wryly.

"Probably, I'm still thinking about what would happen if I rejected my uncle at that time."

Regret and loss are the prerogatives of young people, because this is a process of reflection and imagination, but now Siegfried's state is obviously not right, because his mentality is not right, and things that should have been just casually turned over, he It happened to be deadlocked there for so long.

To put it bluntly, this kid is on the edge of a dead end...

Seeing Siegfried's appearance of worrying about gains and losses, the old dwarf finally sighed helplessly.

"As someone who has experienced it, let me give you some advice."

"Ok?"

"When you are confused, you may wish to think about your origin—what is it that drives you to take the first step, whether it is driven by a momentary emotion or a decision made after long-term thinking, at least at that time, it is meaningful of."

"The origin..." After hearing what Lakin said, Siegfried couldn't help turning his eyes to Hodder who was still asleep.

According to Lakin, his uncle San looked like this 40 years ago. During this time, his face has not changed in any way, so he is not purely human, but even so, the passage of time is the same. He spends a lot of time waiting, which shows that he has poured his own hopes and efforts into himself.

After all, Siegfried agreed because he didn't want to live up to his expectations, so now that he thinks about it, will he regret it?

Isn't the answer very simple?

"Huh... how could I regret this." In the end, he laughed himself.

Maybe Siegfried will regret other decisions in his life, but this alone won't...

"Although this looks a little bit like a marionette." He said casually, as if he had completely stirred up the stiff paste in his head.

Of course, this sentence was just a joke. Siegfried thought it was okay, because he knew that his uncle would never harm him, but Lakin became inexplicably serious.

"Siegfried, I have something to tell you."

"Ok?"

"In this world, you can disbelieve anyone—including me, but you must not disbelieve Hodder. He is the only person in this world who has no demands on you. With his ability and strength, in the Netherlands Where can he not go after the fall, let alone the old rival Goths, even Denmark, Burgundy, Gitland, Norway and even the outermost Hungarian Empire, which of these countries can he not go to? No matter how bad it is, he It is also possible to live in seclusion and ignore the world, but he didn't do that."

That's right, he didn't go anywhere. Instead, he put away the holy sword, and after bringing Siegfried under the eyes of the Hengding clan and into the blind spot, he used himself as a bait to hide.

"I know." Siegfried couldn't help but smile wryly after seeing the old dwarf's rare seriousness. He realized that Lakin had really thought too much, "Of course I know."

Then, he stood up, picked up the knife, and walked towards his tame horse.

"Compared to these, Lakin, please do me a favor. Let's roast this wild boar and cut it off to eat on the road."

"Okay."

But at this moment, before Lai Jin got up, the jungle suddenly trembled.

"Ok??"

'boom'

At this moment, a huge orangutan-like monster ran over trampling the ground, directly breaking the silence of the entire jungle.
