You and me under the world tree

Soldiers all over the city sang the ancient battle hymn.

Their voices are naturally not as beautiful as bards, but they are quite contagious.

Thick and majestic.

Some of them are excited because what they have done is the work of the dragon.

Siegfried is destined to become king, and each of their fighters who participated in this war will get enough rich rewards.

Don't talk about becoming a lord-this is their leader, the head of each legion, and the commander can only set foot in the field.

They can at least get generous rewards, the most basic of which is property.

Not everyone yearns for an adventurous life full of honors, nor does everyone have the courage to give up any rewards and only seek honors.

Even in Midgard, such people basically only appear in the creations of bards.

Not because of anything else, just because not many of these fighters can live comfortably, and not all of them are alone.

They have families -- whether it's parents or wives and children, they ultimately have a family to support.

And this time the war allowed them to live comfortably.

At least, they know that the master they follow and serve has never been a stingy person.

Therefore, even if they are now covered with scarves, and some of them are still missing arms and legs, they are destined to be unable to work in the future.

But it doesn't matter, they no longer have this worry. "

Thinking of this, they sang even harder.

"The wolf of the north, the glory of war!"

The war hymn of victory in the Netherlands has always been circulated in this land. Although the wording may not be exactly the same as it is now, the people can understand it.

And the civilians who closed their doors and windows during the war couldn't help poking their heads out at this moment.

In their eyes, the erected flags of Volsung are extremely conspicuous.

This seems to be a very different style from the Hengding family.

"Volsunger is the orthodox heir of the Netherlands! Lord of Armies, Siegfried is our eternal king!"

In the end, the crowd did not know who took the lead, and such voices gradually spread.

In the end, though, the praise became a tidal wave.

Whether they really know Siegfried or not, they at least understand that Siegfried is not the kind of king who would oppress the people.

The so-called fame was established through various means in the past.

…………

In the royal city, Hagen is frantically building momentum for Siegfried.

By chanting battle hymns and calling names collectively, Siegfried's name soon resounded throughout the royal city.

However, Siegfried didn't know this.

Having already walked into the palace of the Heng Ding clan, he probably could only hear a clue from the loud calls that could not be discerned from the words.

"The war is over." Siegfried sighed.

It has to be said that this is rare good news for him now.

This can at least calm his emotions that are not so high now.

So involuntarily, after the doubts in his heart gradually faded, the corners of his mouth also involuntarily raised.

But soon, this smile also quickly disappeared.

However, the reason for this is not because he remembered any other bad things.

It's just because the environment here is really uncomfortable.

There were no traces of battle in the corridor, but I don't know if it was because the sound insulation effect was too poor, or because his hearing was too keen.

All the way to the center of the temple where Legni might be, he could hear the purr of the monster all the time.

Like a threat, like something else, which was never there yesterday.

So, what's going on here?

Although he could roughly guess that these magical beasts all over the palace were probably one of the reasons why Helgi said 'unsafe'.

But what puzzled him was not these Warcraft traps, but the 'intact' here.

There are indeed traces of Warcraft activities in the corridor, but there are no traces of battles, not to mention that there are not even any casualties among the Warcraft here.

With a touch of doubt and uneasiness, Siegfried continued to move forward.

His speed was getting faster and faster, and finally he reached the end of these winding corridors.

Then, push open the door.

'boom'

Standing at the door, he happened to be able to see the interior of the wide hall.

He had imagined the scene inside.

What kind of revenge will the uncle who hates Legney take?

Surely he will kill him...

No one doubts this, not even Siegfried himself.

Because he knew that his uncle had already tried it, and that time he was only forcibly saved by a Valkyrie, or even a god.

However, the facts surprised him a bit.

Because there are no traces of battle in the palace either.

His uncle: Hodder was standing there, and Legney didn't seem to be dead, he was slumped on the throne, still alive and well.

However, the mental aspect is not quite normal.

"Don't come here!!!"

After seeing a second intruder break into the palace, Legney couldn't help shouting.

Chapter 50: Human Heart

When Siegfried arrived, he heard Legney's yelling.

When he followed the sound, he saw that the king was curled up on his throne, holding a useless sword tightly in his hand.

Correct me...

Maybe that sword is still useful, after all, it is the king's sword, but the user is too incompetent, so it is useless.

Gorgeous and sturdy armor, a sharp long sword inlaid with gems.

Legney is obviously ready for battle in terms of his clothes, at least he should have the idea of ​​a battle before the real contact.

but now……

"It's hard for me to imagine..."

Under the background music of Legney's hysterical roar, Siegfried spoke slowly.

But at this moment, his words are a little bit stuck

Because there was an inexplicable shock in the scene before him, he didn't even know how to describe it.

The more anxious you are, the more you can't speak, and the more you can't speak, the more anxious you are.

It is very inexplicable that the young hero has fallen into such a terrible endless loop.

It wasn't until the end that the complex emotions in his heart gradually calmed down, and his whole person calmed down a little, that he broke free from such tedious thoughts.

"Actually, I have thought of many face-to-face methods, uncle." He said

In fact, he didn't know whether the man standing like a statue was listening or not.

But it didn't matter if he was listening or not.

For the current Siegfried, he just wanted to fully express the thoughts in his heart.

"Legney... No matter what, he once led a party when he was young. Even though, as you said, it was the worst period of the Hengding family, he was still a leader anyway, and he should be courageous when he was young. .”

When he said this, he couldn't help but pause, and then couldn't help but began to take a deep breath.

Young people are emotional after all, not to mention that Siegfried himself is not a cold-blooded person.

Although he would never show mercy when the war really started, but after the war ended, he still inevitably remembered one thing: this war should have been avoided.

Seeing Legney's frightened and crazy look, he couldn't help but think of what happened last night.

He declined his invitation to a duel, using the gaze of the gods as an excuse to spread the casualties.

"I thought that at least he still had the courage to lift a sword. If he was a little braver, I wouldn't mind giving him a decent way to die."

Then, he summed up his thoughts and opinions on this.

In fact, only the last sentence can fully express his current mood.

"It's hard to imagine that a character who has lost his composure now has the courage to lead the army."

Then, he remained silent on it.

The hero's piercing eyes have been watching the mad king.

His eyes are complicated at this moment.

There is of course malice in it, because until now, Siegfried could not forgive Legney for what he had done.

This is no longer just the degree of blood vendetta, but a broader definition.

Neither his education nor his character, either as king of the Netherlands or as an outsider, could forgive Legney for his evil deeds.

It's always been like this...

Even when traveling abroad, he could deeply understand the shortcomings of the Netherlands.

As a king, as a leader, Legney is clearly disqualified.

On the other hand, he has a little sympathy for the other party.

The sympathy isn't based on what he's done or failed, but on how insane he is right now.

In the past, he also criticized Fang Qiu, but now he has ended up like this.

And finally...

"You are afraid."

Just when Siegfried couldn't help clenching his fist, Hodder said this.

After hearing his uncle's words, Siegfried was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously refuted.

For a fighter like him, fear or something, such emotions are simply unforgivable.

"Do you find it difficult to accept?"

"Yes."

However, Siegfried's self-esteem was not strong enough to make him lie in front of the people around him, so at this moment, he just nodded.

"He used to have his high-spirited moments, but that's what he looks like when he's old, and I..."

In the final analysis, Siegfried just inexplicably felt that he could see his own shadow from Legney's current state.

And the young him was worried about answering the request, in fact, there was only one thing...

"Will I be like this in the future?"

After all, young people all have this concern, and Siegfried is no exception.

He can be sure that he is courageous now, but he doesn't know what the future holds.

This kind of anxiety and uneasiness that belongs to young people can't help but make Hodder laugh.

"No, Siegfried, you are braver than him."

Hodder is very convinced of this, even if it is not considered from the setting level of the NPC in the game, the plot performance is also the same.
