You and me under the world tree

No, virtually everywhere, the crown has always symbolized the supreme power of a kingdom.

It is a symbol of dignity and power. The king may wear the crown at the moment of death, and may give it to his children with pride.

However, this is the first time Siegfried has seen it thrown out as a throwing tool like Legney.

He couldn't be sure if anyone had done it before, but he hadn't seen it himself.

So after seeing this scene, Siegfried was even more dumbfounded.

"Really, have you even given up on this?"

However, no one could answer Siegfried's question, because when his oppressive figure walked in front of him, the old king was already frightened and fainted.

Holy Sword of Wrath, Volsung Clan, Blonde Hair, Warrior...

Combined, these singularities reminded Legney, who lived in the last era, of the hero who single-handedly suppressed the entire era.

In the case of insanity, the fright played by the psychological shadow will not be reduced in any way, but will only become bigger and bigger.

Although Hodder had told him long ago, Siegmund had left a strong psychological shadow on him before his death.

However, he really didn't expect this result.

So subconsciously, he turned his head away and stared at his uncle who was still standing under the steps.

Perhaps because his eyes were too startled, even Hodder felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hmm, don't look at me." After coughing lightly, the sage said, "It was you who frightened him into unconsciousness. He already has a psychological shadow."

Whether he felt that he was about to be killed, or that the former god of war came to claim his life, this was enough to frighten Legney, who had lost all his supports.

It's only natural to lose consciousness.

"no……"

Siegfried couldn't help feeling dumbfounded when he heard his uncle say those incoherent words.

"What I said was..."

"crown?"

Because Siegfried subconsciously waved his hand holding the crown, Hodder changed the topic there.

"This thing looks really pretty, but it's nothing more than that, and throwing the crown is considered a traditional art of the Hengding family. When Siegmund entered the king's city, King Hengding threw the heavy crown away in order to escape. Throw it over."

"Ah...? Is there such a thing?"

"Well, yes, but later we captured King Hengding. In fact, thanks to this capture, it made things much easier for us in the future."

As for what happened next, Siegfried also knew about it.

Because Huo De once used these past events as stories to let him understand what happened.

How should I put it, it can only be described as terrible.

They first forced the elderly King Hengding to issue an edict. Of course, this edict was not for the Zen seat. The Volsunger family never needed the Zen seat of the Hengding family.

This edict is aimed at the internal affairs of the Hengding family. Simply put, it is to let his powerful heirs come to save him.

He himself was old and could not last long.

It is worth mentioning that, before this, King Hengding's eldest son: His Royal Highness the former prince was slaughtered by Huoder with a knife.

The result behind it was that because the old king had let out rumors that he would not live long, what was exposed was Chi Guoguo's heart.

You must first fight against the outside...

And according to Howard's later words:

"If they had a better family education, they wouldn't be reduced to what they were later."

When Hodder told Hagen the same case, the half-blood warrior listened with great interest.

However, Siegfried is still not used to this point, and every time he thinks about it, he feels shuddering.

Because he has more contact with the gentle and reliable uncle who can tell stories to him since he was a child, rather than the insidiousness he showed to the outside world.

"Uncle, you seem to look down on the crown?"

In the end, in order to quickly change the subject, Siegfried asked casually.

Then, he felt his uncle's extremely concerned gaze, which was like caring for a fool.

"Are you fooled by the bard's story? What is the use of the crown? Inheritance? Responsibility? This kind of thing belongs to the person after all, and there is no need for any symbol at all."

Then, he sighed.

"I also said this to your father. Everyone recognizes the identity of the king, not the crown or the throne. Not to mention how gorgeous, even if he sits directly on the ground, the carpet is his throne. Even if he wears a crown The straw hat, the straw hat is his crown, and everyone else has to accept that."

"No, that's not what I said."

In the end, Siegfried shook his head dumbfounded.

Before, he himself was a little panicked.

So soon, he wanted to throw away the crown in his hand.

But if you think about it carefully, this crown seems to be worth a lot of money. It is not only golden, but also inlaid with many gemstones, which looks extremely gorgeous.

After thinking about this, he still put him in the pouch around his waist.

"What I care about is how Legney should deal with it...or, uncle, how do you want to deal with it?"

Until now, Siegfried is still sticking to the original idea.

Regarding Legney's handling plan, it is better to leave it to his uncle to draw up, after all, it is he who needs to end this hatred, not him who is the son of Siegmund.

And once the hatred that has lasted for more than 20 years is over...

Thinking of this, Siegfried couldn't help feeling a lingering sadness in his heart.

However, he tried his best to control his expression and did not show that sadness.

"You shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing, and you shouldn't even ask me what I think." Facing Siegfried's inexplicable gaze, Hodder said, "What you should ask is: what is the best way to deal with it now?" What is the way, and then you should have an answer to this question."

Yes, in fact, Siegfried should have the answer in his heart.

As the future king, what kind of handling is most beneficial to his rule.

"Trial, beheading...he is the chief culprit of everything, and even more so, the root cause of war."

"That's right, just deepen your impression of this."

Although it may sound hypocritical, from a political perspective, it is the best choice to throw all the blame on Legney.

Then, forcibly suppressing the inexplicable discomfort emerging from the bottom of his heart, Siegfried couldn't help but shift his gaze to Hodder's hand.

Although it's a bit late to say now, he seems to have something.

"Uncle, what is that scroll?"

"This? A gadget that controls the palace. It even has measures to detonate the palace. As long as this scroll is destroyed, the palace can be blown up."

Then, in the gap of the helmet, the slightly cloudy eyes narrowed.

"But it's a pity, he didn't succeed, and then went crazy."

Chapter 53: We chatted

Howard's voice wasn't too loud, because it seemed normal to him.

The scroll itself is a creation of magic. Although it can be activated as long as it is torn apart, does Legney really have the courage to burn everything?

The answer is no...

For Huo De, what he needs to consider is to seize the opportunity and take advantage of the gap in his hesitation to directly take the scroll of manipulating the palace from his hand.

It sounds simple, but it's the same thing in operation.

But as an observer, Siegfried was not concerned with these things.

For him, what matters is the amount of information revealed in the words.

Is Legney ready to fight to the death?

He already thought of detonating the palace, and then died together, which shows that he really had such an idea.

So now...

Siegfried didn't care about the snatched scroll in Hodder's hand, so he turned his gaze behind him.

On the throne, the old king, who fainted from fright, still had breath, but it was quite weak.

Moreover, even though he was unconscious, he looked like he was having a nightmare.

"I'm sorry, my child, I'm sorry, I hurt you, that damn devil dares to treat you like this."

It looked as if he had a nightmare about his own child.

Originally, it was nothing.

After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, no matter what happens to Legney, he will not be too emotional.

For the descendant of Volsunger, his sympathy is limited to an inexplicable sense of crisis brought about by that mad state.

But now, there was an indescribable surprise and shock in his heart.

It exploded in my mind like lightning, and then set off a stormy sea.

And after this sense of shock dissipated slowly, a clear thread strung together all the thoughts in his mind.

Legney doesn't seem to be as timid as he appears, and he doesn't seem to be just delaying his own death.

Because, he really started the final battle with the idea of ​​blowing up the palace and dying with the opponent.

But even so, he was still in a state of excessive fright.

So the source of everything is...

"uncle."

After sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he couldn't help calling out.

At this moment, his voice seemed inexplicably dry.

"Ok?"

"Legney looks like this, it's you..."

At this moment, Siegfried's eyes were obviously complicated, and there was even a taste of horror.

After noticing his gaze, Hodder couldn't help feeling a little funny.

"Don't look at me with that look, those who don't know think I tortured him." He said

At this moment, Hodder's tone was very strange.

However, he is indeed denying this.

Because he really didn't do anything.

And this made Siegfried even more confused.

Is not it?

He almost asked such a stupid question on his own instinct.

But later, he still held back the nonsense.

"Then what's going on with him?"

"As I said, he is relatively timid, and he frightened himself like this."

"However, I think he is ready to fight with his back."

"what?"

After hearing what Siegfried said, Hodder couldn't help being taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, he set his sights on the scroll at hand.

"You said this?"

The young hero didn't answer directly, but nodded.

In his opinion, this scroll is proof, at least he has made preparations for it.
