You and me under the world tree

Just as Siegfried was staring at the beautiful and bright stars, a voice suddenly came from his ear.

Looking back, the girl was standing behind him.

Under the stars, she is heroic, yet gentle and gentle.

"Hilda..."

The one there was, of course, the princess of the Kingdom of Iceland, who was also his partner.

Chapter 83: The Friendship of the Roe Deer

In fact, during the one week since Siegfried left the royal city, rumors spread throughout the Netherlands, and the drama of 'Where is the prince going' was being staged in countless places.

Of course, for some people, His Highness the Prince himself was never what they cared about.

This is true even within the Netherlands, not everyone is as loyal to Siegfried as Hagen.

Although the atrium world has always been a bold and chilling wind, the human beings here have already established a unique political system after all.

And as long as there is politics, there must be conflicts of interest. This is the same from the previous tribal era to the present.

For those people, what they care about is the rumored treasure.

But it is a pity that Hagen, who is almost inferior to the palace as a palace minister, kept silent about this, and the sage, who is like a ruthless government affairs processing machine, never mentioned it.

So since the center can't shake anything, some people naturally put their minds elsewhere.

Abandoned Rhine City, Amstel Harbor.

Because for other kingdoms, The Hague Fortress is too far away.

And compared to Amstel Harbor and the newly built ruined city on the Rhine, The Hague Fortress is actually of no importance.

Because it is not adjacent to other kingdoms and it is close to the sea, what it developed was fishing instead.

But it doesn't matter what it develops. The important thing is that The Hague Fortress and the surrounding villages and towns are far less spacious than Amstel and the abandoned city, and because of the distance, it is not easy to find out information.

So in the end, whether it is the Kingdom of Denmark or the Kingdom of Burgundy, as long as they are interested in the treasure of the evil dragon, their spies are stationed in these cities.

For them, it doesn't matter if they don't get the core news.

Because they are very confident, even a little bit of movement or rumors can infer the specific content.

After all, a huge treasure is obviously not so easy to transport, let alone the rumored wealth that is guarded by the evil dragon.

Not to mention whether the evil dragon named Fafnir has the habit of looting property everywhere, the treasure it guards in the legend is the wealth accumulated by Gnita Hyde.

In the impression of most people in the courtyard, dwarves are not only greedy for money, they also like metal ore.

Even, they also have various technologies far ahead of humans.

Although I don't know how much the dwarf kingdom can retain after the evil dragon ravages, finding the wealth that has been accumulating all the time is a kind of help for any kingdom.

Perhaps, the common people's concept of treasure is limited to money, and it can even be said to be extremely intuitive.

Such as gold coins, gold ornaments, gems and the like, these are treasures in the eyes of ordinary people.

In the atrium, these things are considered hard currency.

But in the eyes of those at the top, they see more.

Because after all, that is the heritage of a kingdom.

Rather, there may even be ores that exist as strategic materials or even armors that have been formed for human warriors.

Although at this point, the atrium world no longer lacks all kinds of magical weapons.

Things like holy swords and magic swords can even be said to be flying all over the sky.

However, it is undeniable that until the moment when the country was destroyed, the craftsmanship of the dwarves was still much higher than that of humans.

Today's Netherlands is not to be underestimated in terms of combat power. What if the dragon slaying hero pulls a lot of weapons from the hinterland of Gnitalhead?

For these reasons, they naturally paid great attention to Ziegfried's whereabouts.

However, from a common sense point of view, no matter what the dragon slaying hero wants to transport, his movements will not be small.

After all, whether it is treasure or other strategic materials, these cannot be transported by one person.

In their eyes, Siegfried will inevitably need a large number of soldiers and transport ships.

Therefore, as long as you inquire about the movements in some important areas, you can easily deduce this point.

Then, hard work paid off, and after spending some time in the Amstel harbor, they finally found out a piece of news: Prince Siegfried had indeed visited this city secretly, and he was with Hervale who was stationed here. There was a conversation.

After that, part of the transport ships that originally belonged to the Netherlands Navy were directly transferred away.

Because this matter was a secret, the soldiers and officers at the bottom didn't know about it, so they just complained in the tavern during their break that there were fewer transport ships that could be mobilized.

This is what makes the "Evil Dragon Treasure", which is not even confirmed by the official, all the more real.

Because of this, all the kingdoms can't sit still, even the Gothic kingdom, which has always looked calm.

Naturally, they couldn't just watch as the already extremely powerful Kingdom of the Netherlands swallowed the treasure of Gurnita Heide in one gulp.

Especially the Kingdom of Burgundy...

They were the closest kingdom to the western mountains, and they even spent a lot of time doing it.

After several generations of efforts to no avail, it turned out that the prince of another kingdom took a big deal?

So unconsciously, almost half of Midgard was mobilized.

At the same time, the lord system with a certain degree of autonomy has also exposed some drawbacks.

Because at this moment, it is not just the king of the kingdom who is thinking carefully, some lords have also taken other actions.

But no matter what, the current Siegfried doesn't know about it.

At the moment, he is on vacation in the Kingdom of Nibelungen, not to mention how comfortable he is.

Of course, Hilda, the princess of Iceland, was also on vacation with her, and she was the only one.

"To be honest, the kindness and enthusiasm of the dwarves is really different from the rumors outside."

Under Siegfried's watchful eyes, Her Royal Highness, who was dressed in light leather armor, walked straight in front of him, and then sat on another chair.

And she was not polite, she directly picked up the fruit wine on the small table and took a sip, the sweet taste made her narrow her eyes.

"To be honest, although I agreed to come here with you, I still have some doubts in my heart. After all, the reputation of the dwarves is really not good."

"There are scum in any race, and so are gods, not to mention humans."

"Too……"

On this point, Hilda also had a say, so she couldn't help but smile.

But then, a look of regret appeared on her face.

"It's a pity, it would be great if Nanna could come."

Should it be said that she is a good girlfriend?

Until now, Hilda still misses her good friend who still lives in Iceland.

Hearing this, Siegfried just drank the fruit wine silently.

He didn't answer Hilda's words, but just squinted at her.

Under the beautiful stars created by the dwarves, the atmosphere seemed awkward for a while.

Then, Hilda couldn't help turning her head away, she just reached out and scratched the back of her head without looking into Siegfried's eyes.

"Sorry, I'm not very good at talking... are you angry?"

Chapter 84: Didn't Hear... Didn't Hear

In fact, the relationship between Siegfried and Hilda is at an extremely delicate stage.

Although most people don't know this, the princess of Iceland, Hilda, who is very likely to be the Queen of Iceland in the future, was the one who accompanied him through the initial period.

Together they went to the northern seas and lived together there for a while.

Then, they attacked Amstel harbor together, and then shared part of the government affairs for him.

In this regard, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the founding hero of the present Netherlands.

Moreover, the relationship between them is also constantly sublimating in this process, even reaching a slightly embarrassing point.

As for why it looks awkward, I have to mention one thing: identity.

Like Hagen of Tronpage, Half the Raven, Hevale, and Ragnar, these people can openly reveal their identities, and even receive rewards in this identity.

Ragnar has obtained a lot of property now, and even a construction team is building a farm for him. As long as Siegfried's enthronement ceremony is over, he can live his life with peace of mind.

As for Hervale, who has already begun to take charge of the navy of the Netherlands, there are countless soldiers under her command, and even the formerly important Amstel Harbor is under her jurisdiction.

As for Half, although he has had several changes in his position due to repeated defeats on the battlefield.

However, Siegfried did not lower his status or anything else, but gave him a chance to cleanse his shame.

Now, with the power of the dragon on his body, he is now Chen Bing on the border of the Netherlands, leading the legion to guard the gateway between Burgundy and the Netherlands.

Even for the most lowly soldiers, the families of the war dead have generous pensions.

If there are old people in the family, as the king, he will fund them to spend their old age in peace, and if there are children in the family, Siegfried will also fund them to raise them up.

Whether it's rewards or appeasement, not to mention peace of mind, but Siegfried has done his best to take care of everyone.

He is not short of any property now, the only thing that needs to be considered is the consequences to a certain extent after distributing a large amount of money.

However, things in this area are still under control, so it doesn't matter yet.

As for status, there is no need to worry, because this is not his business alone.

Not to mention that he already has a score in his heart now, even if he is in a state of confusion now, his team and those around him will give him ideas and let him see a general direction.

However, there is still one exception among these people, and that is Hilda.

Like everyone else, she did her best in Siegfried's battle to restore the country, but because of her status, Siegfried couldn't give her anything in a fair manner.

property?

Although the land of the Kingdom of Iceland is not rich, it can't stand Gripper's good governance since he took the throne.

As the only child of Wiseman Griple, Hilda's education is quite strict, but it is also extremely generous.

Because Iceland has always been committed to expanding overseas trade, what didn't Hilda see when he was a child?

The simple reward of some treasures seems to be too cheap, and Hilda actually knows part of the inside story.

So give her a place in the nascent kingdom of the Netherlands, ruled by the Volsungers?

In what capacity?

After all, this kind of thing affects the entire atrium pattern. If other people know that Iceland has been helping Siegfried, then Norway must be the first to feel the sense of crisis.

Although this tastes like a frog boiled in warm water, it is indeed not the time to lay out the strategy for the northern peninsula.

So all of a sudden, this problem fell into a dead end.

Maybe Hilda didn't care about it, and she never asked for anything.

After the war, she went back to the royal palace in Iceland to accompany her good girlfriends like a normal person, as if she had done nothing.

But Siegfried himself felt uncomfortable.

That's why this is happening now.

"Since there is no way to give a gift on the surface, then take her around."

That's what the sage said at the beginning, so Siegfried simply brought her here.

After all, he is actually more willing to trust Hilda than some people in the Netherlands.

The soldiers had a feeling of being overcrowded, but Hilda was different because she had a ship herself.

A ship that is large enough and does not require too much manpower.

Moreover, excluding the things mentioned above, he himself is very happy to invite Hilda to travel together.

As for the reason, it is actually hard to say.

"No, it's not enough to be angry. For me, it's good that you like this place."
