You and me under the world tree

stupid, humble...

No one would be willing to use such a word to describe themselves, because it is the meaning of the word today.

And more importantly, it is definitely a painful memory for the Nibelungen Kingdom today.

Chapter 92: New plot patch

Now is not the time when we first met.

After going through adventures and struggles together, their so-called friendship tempered in the flames of war was enough to make her abandon her initial childish thoughts.

And in the process, she actually learned some stories that ordinary people don't know.

For example, dragon slaying...

Most people only know that Siegfried slaughtered a dragon in the Western Mountains, but now that the story of the evil dragon's treasure has spread, they also remember which dragon he slaughtered.

The evil dragon Fafnir, the fallen dwarf prince.

For most people in the atrium world today, even if they have the spirit of inquiry, that's all they can know.

But Hilda had heard an unusual version from Siegfried after all.

In order to avoid the disaster of the kingdom, the king of the dwarves ordered the dedicated eldest son to kill himself, and the eldest son fell into the abyss bearing the name of corruption.

"Loddfavner... the word should have an unusual meaning to you and to the Kingdom of the Nibelungen."

If I have to say...

"It's an insult, even a stigma."

After all, language is constantly evolving. After all, there has never been a complete and perfect language in this world.

And even in an era of unimpeded communication and advanced information, the meaning of certain words is constantly being updated.

And Loddfavner, which is very popular in the atrium nowadays, is one of them.

Lovehead guessed right, it was originally a compound word, and it originated from the gods.

It is a new word that was extended after the story of the evil dragon killing his father was completely spread at that time.

But for humans, this seems to be nothing.

After all, compared to those naturally noble and powerful gods, human beings are indeed humble and ignorant.

This is already a cognition imprinted in the tradition.

This is why humans worship 'omnipotent' gods so much and want their attention and favor.

"It's not that you don't know the meaning of the word."

"Of course I know."

Finally, under Hilda's questioning, Siegfried couldn't help but took a deep breath.

"I know..."

So why?

Siegfried suddenly had an 'explosion of inspiration', and the reason why he wanted to choose such a seemingly silly name for his ship was actually a bit complicated.

Because at that moment, the thoughts that flashed through his mind were a little messy.

He thought of himself and his so-called elder brother whom he had met once, and the process was not pleasant.

He even thought of his uncle who was constantly running around, as if he was working hard for everything.

This kind of thing is really too much.

Everyone in this world is stupid.

Live on the chessboard of the gods and fight in their name.

But so what?

They never looked at humans in the eye.

For their little gift will be complacent.

For the guidance of the so-called Valkyrie, she is pretentious.

"Human beings are stupid after all..." Siegfried said, watching Hilda's slightly puzzled expression.

At this moment, his memory couldn't help but freeze on the day when Legney was tried.

He clearly remembered their completely incomprehensible expressions when he revealed his ideals and said that he wanted to seek a better life for the people.

From ancient times to the present, the endless hatred and pain brought about by war have been lingering.

Even before that, the civil war in the Netherlands had inevitably left these people without their families.

However, when Siegfried declared that he would bring them a better life and even make them forget their pain, they told him with their own attitude: what is pain?

Are human beings inherently selfish and selfish, and will not repent until catastrophe strikes?

Maybe.

In fact, after going through some things, Siegfried can no longer be sure of this.

However, the existence of this tradition in the atrium world is ultimately due to the existence of gods.

"The gods created human beings, and while giving them life and intelligence, they never looked at them directly."

At this point, Siegfried spoke slowly.

"I just think that if this ship can set foot in God's Domain one day, it must be a very interesting thing."

In this regard, Siegfried finally sighed.

There are some things that he can only think about now, after all, everything is just getting started.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go in quickly, you haven't been home these days, I think His Majesty Gripal and your friends miss you a lot."

"There will be that day."

Just when Siegfried seemed to want to change the subject, Hilda suddenly responded to him.

But at this moment, Siegfried suddenly froze for a moment.

"Ok?"

"I said... there will be a day, and it won't be too far away."

Then, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Iceland took a deep breath.

For a moment, she may have hesitated, but in the end, she reached out and grabbed Siegfried's hand.

"If you want to say why, you are definitely not alone in your efforts, and not everyone is kept in the dark."

…………

"Netherlands, Iceland, Gothic..."

Lying in the game cabin, Hodd, who hadn't entered the game, just flipped through the map of Midgard in the game.

Now, in the game plot he has experienced, Siegfried is about to become king, which means that the plot of [Song of the Nibelungen] so far is over.

According to the nature of World Tree Company, they should update the next plot and new content through various free update patches.

In fact, the new patch preview has actually been released several months after the new expansion piece [Song of the Nibelungen] was released.

As a player, Hodder certainly won't miss this aspect.

Of course, some of the plot is included:

But in fact, for most players, what they care most about is not the plot about Siegfried.

Because for the vast majority of people, "Song of the Nibelungen" is actually a preordained story, and it is nothing more than seeing how World Tree Company expands other parts of the content within the limited epic legend.

Moreover, World Tree Company has never focused on a certain character in the expansion of the plot.

【Song of the Nibelung】

Since the company has included this title in the expansion pack, it means that he will take care of most of the characters that appear in the plot.

The new plot patch released in the preview includes three great kingdoms: Gothic, Hungary and the most important Burgundy.

"interesting……"

No, actually it shouldn't be said that way.

Because this is actually a matter of course, within the original epic, the three kingdoms intersect.

Thinking of this, Huo De couldn't help but click on the original text of the domestic "Song of the Nibelungen" that he downloaded, and read the content inside.

Then, he began to compare the different parts of the game plot and the epic records one by one.

Chapter 93: Bewildered

In fact, in the original text of the Nibelungen Song, the main stories all take place in the territory of the Kingdom of Burgundy.

There is not much content about Gothic and Hungary, but they are unified in the second half of the epic, and the reason why they are introduced into poetry is because of the revenge planned by Krimhild.

Because of Krimhild's revenge, this turned into a melee that could be said to be a tripartite force.

In this melee, Dietrich's subordinates were all killed in the first battle, and Etzel, the Hungarian king, also lost his national power.

As for Burgundy, this once powerful kingdom was directly destroyed in the end, and the royal palace and the Worms Great Rose Garden that countless people had longed for were all burned down.

However, it is worth mentioning that the "Nibelungen Song" itself is not a traditional Norse legend.

Its mythological atmosphere is not strong, it is more like a political poem mixed with various tactics.

What guides everything in it is the human heart and politics, and neither the Valkyrie nor the gods have ever appeared.

The only thing worth mentioning may be the still-killed dwarf Alberich (Laikin), anyway, whether it is Sigurd or Siegfried, whether it is "Volsung Saga" or "Niber Song of Dragon Roots, even the dwarf was doomed.

However, the plot setting of the game "Nine Realms" is different from the original epic, so it must be distinguished.

In the game plot, the gods have always had an extremely powerful influence, and the guidance of the Valkyrie can be said to be everywhere.

As for the background of the characters, it is even more interesting.

There are actually quite a few versions of Dietrich's legend, and although his identity is not clearly given in "Nine Realms", the prince is obviously not a mortal.

Because mortals can't wear a molten iron armor that can burn a giant unbearably without injury.

Even, the armor like flowing magma is enough to scald the unprotected corpse of a giant.

But Prince Dietrich in the plot looks like a normal person, who would believe that he is a normal person?

As for King Etzel of Hungary, this character who only appeared in the new expansion version and unified the East of Midgard in the setting has no plot performance.

For the player, he is even just an expressionless NPC sitting in the palace.

However, Hodder can still trace a trace of clues from the plots he experienced.

Among them, the most important character is a character: Gong Lu, the daughter of Su Dong, the king of giants.

Odin once deceived Gonglu for the poet's mead, and the child that Gonglu conceived at that time was Etzel.

That pregnancy severely damaged Gong Lu's vitality, which made her pay the price of her life when she conceived her second child: Princess Hilda.

As for the child himself, Hodder didn't know.

But I think the state should not be very good.

And more importantly, King Etzel was not brought up by Odin.

On the contrary, he should have been close to the mother who raised him since he was a child, and he might even have a good relationship with Su Dong, who is his grandfather.

So what should a character raised by giants be like?

What is his attitude towards the gods?

The Hungarian Kingdom in the setting is even doing that kind of trade with the giant Jotunheim. It is hard to say that there is no Sudong influence in it.

Moreover, regardless of whether the gods know Etzel's true identity or not, what matters is his own attitude.

It would be interesting if he himself hated the gods because of what happened to his mother.

No, it should be said that it is not only interesting, but this is actually good news for Hodder.

Because Dietrich is included, these forces in the atrium can theoretically be united.
