You and me under the world tree

Perhaps, some people think that Siegfried placed his statue here.

Actually it is not.

The statue he ordered to be carved was not a specific person, not even a face.

He is a very general image of a warrior, and he is wearing exactly the same style of armor as the Skywrath Guards.

With a bow, shield, and spear on his back, his hands are squared in front of his chest, as if he is holding something.

And finally, in the wide mausoleum, Siegfried inserted the newly forged Glorious Holy Sword into the gap between the statue's hands in front of everyone.

"This is the warrior of the Netherlands!" he shouted

And at this point, the process of the parade should actually be considered over.

At least in the reservation of the Netherlands, there should be nothing else.

"Your Majesty, the celebration can start at any time." Looking at the hero wearing the crown, Hagen said with a smile.

"Then let them enjoy themselves, I have another place to go."

"His Majesty?"

"I'm going to the place where the Volsung family originated, and there is one more thing that needs to be placed." Siegfried said, "Don't worry too much, I will come out soon."

Where is the most important place for the Volsung family?

Is it a mausoleum?

This may be true for other royal families with a long history, but the Volsung family is different after all.

this family...

This originated from his father: Siegmund's family, and they had only one original origin.

Tree for Children: Barnstock.

"Go and maintain order, don't follow me."

Just like that, Siegfried stepped into the palace alone.

He walked through the meeting hall, came to the back of the hall, then walked up the stairs, and then the palace.

However, the previous one was a public meeting hall, where there was the most magnificent throne, which was used to discuss matters with the courtiers, but this place can be said to be the king's private domain, and in terms of layout, it is more like a manor.

In order to make a difference, it was set up as a real front hall, where there were no guards, and some only had a stone statue of a soldier that seemed to be embedded in the wall.

After passing through the insignificant front hall, he finally came to a vast garden.

The surrounding flowers and plants constitute a beautiful and fragrant scene, and everything is exactly as drawn on the paper.

Rather, everything shown here goes beyond even the tip of the iceberg depicted on the drawings.

And in the center, a towering tree stands there, it is lush and huge, and the shade is refreshing.

And under the shade of the tree, a warrior was sitting there.

His head rested on the tree trunk, as if he were in deep sleep.

Or, he seemed to be remembering something.

The origin of the Volsung family is here. Whether it is the legend of Siegmund drawing the sword, or his father and brother, they all lived here.

And now...

"uncle……"

Staring at that seemingly incomparably comfortable figure, Siegfried couldn't help but began to take a deep breath.

However, he didn't make a sound, so he walked over quietly.

NEXT: Immortals

On the lawn, Siegfried moved cautiously.

At this moment, because he is wearing metal combat boots, every movement may cause a slight sound, so he slows down his movements as much as possible.

Even at this moment, he somewhat regretted why his magic knowledge was not deep.

If he had uncle's kind of... no, even if it was only half his magic talent, he would just need to cast himself a silence magic at will.

But the problem is, for a wizard as powerful as my uncle, these are things that are done at will.

But instead of Siegfried, he actually didn't even recite the strokes of this sequence of rune combinations.

This is probably the feeling of a scumbag doing foreign language reading comprehension.

In his eyes, those combinations that are considered subtle in the eyes of many wizards are:

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□.

Obviously a single character can be understood, but when combined together, it feels like something I can't understand at all.

With the thought of magic cut off, he could only slow down his pace as much as possible and keep his voice to a minimum. After that, he came to the other end of Barnstock, the tree of children.

Unloading the holy sword on his back, Siegfried stabbed the holy sword of divine wrath into the scabbard-like crack in the tree of children.

After that, he began to carefully look at the tree of children in front of him.

However, as far as Siegfried was concerned, he had nothing but admiration for the tall 'Barnstock'.

Because the tree is still growing...

Legend has it that there was a special palace before Barnstock, the tree of children. When Siegmund was still a young man, the tree was in the palace.

However, when it came time to renovate the palace, the former hero Siegmund saw that the trees were still growing and had even reached the top of the palace, so later, he simply demolished the original palace.

And now, compared with the scale described in the written records at that time, the current Children's Tree seems to have grown taller again.

Maybe one day, the tree will grow to the sky?

At this moment, Siegfried couldn't help but have such an absurd thought in his heart.

At least, the idea seemed absurd to him.

Because no matter how tall the tree will eventually grow, but according to this growth rate, theoretically, he will not be able to see its results.

To him, the tree was actually no big deal.

However, it's different for others.

Thinking of this, Siegfried walked around the tree, walking slowly, and finally circled to the other side.

There, the man in the armor still sat there.

I don't know if it's because it's really comfortable to lean against the tree. He hasn't moved much until now, just leaning there.

but……

"Uncle..." he said

Although he had already been mentally prepared for this situation, Siegfried's voice still became dry from the moment the words came out.

But at this moment, the man didn't recover at all.

He didn't even move, didn't even move his head, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"I am already king of the Netherlands," he said

His Majesty the King, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, didn't pay attention to any etiquette issues.

He directly removed the evil dragon sword that was still on his body, and then sat down on the ground.

But from the beginning to the end, he felt his nose was sore.

Therefore, he didn't even look at the man who had been working hard all this time.

"I know you've been wanting to see this, and I..."

Then, the words stopped abruptly.

Although he was outside, he could calmly narrate the past events with those people, and sometimes he didn't even need to type a draft.

However, when facing his uncle, he felt unable to say anything.

"I can already make you feel at ease, uncle, I have grown to this point, so I should be able to make you feel at ease."

His fists were clenched tightly, and even the battle robe on his body was pinched by him.

"I... I really, can make you feel completely at ease, so you really don't have to worry about anything, so you can feel at ease..."

leave at ease...

He wanted to say that, but he couldn't accept it anyway.

Even though he knew that there would be such a day, but when it really came, he couldn't say anything.

So at this moment, he can only sit on the ground and lower his head.

"Huh..." He took a deep breath, avoiding greater emotional ups and downs.

However, that trembling voice betrayed him after all.

Finally, the man he thought had fallen into a deep sleep and would disappear at some point moved.

The head wearing the helmet turned around.

"On the day of great joy, why are you crying here?"

Then, the dull voice that made Siegfried very familiar sounded.

For a moment, he himself was stunned, and even the crystal light in his eyes stagnated for a while.

At this moment, he even felt that he had heard wrong, until he raised his head, only to see that simple helmeted head staring at him.

"In order to celebrate your enthronement, I changed my clothes. What happened? Do you want me to die?"

"That's not it……"

At the beginning, Siegfried was a little incoherent, but then, what Hodder said finally opened his mind.

"Changed clothes?"

As if he had grasped the point, Siegfried began to look carefully at Hodder.

At this moment, his uncle is still wearing armor, a helmet, and a cloak. These things, which seem to be like personal preferences, are no different from before.

However, that doesn't mean everything else is the same as before.

First of all, the color of his armor is darker than before, and at the same time, there are more things on him that he didn't have before.

The shoulder armor became shaped like the head of an evil dragon, and the gauntlets also had the texture of dragon scales.

"this is……"

"The method Lai Jin taught me... This is the unique forging technique of the dwarves. The main material is dark and evil iron that does not shine, so it looks cold... even under the sun."

"You rebuilt a suit of armor for yourself?"

"Otherwise? I can't keep wearing the original one. Its mission is over, so I use it as a 'mold'."

That is, an operation similar to illusion.

Although the equipment in the game has always had its own unique shape, if other known equipment is used as a mold, then the shape can also be changed.

The original 'Watal Dwarf Set' is mainly based on the elements of the evil dragon, but after all Hodder doesn't like an overly ostentatious image, so he played a mix-and-match and kept his original elements.

"So... Uncle, are you alive?"

In the end, it may be that he gave up thinking completely, and Siegfried just spoke like this.

"What? Do you want me to die, you little bastard?"

"No, I just..."

At this moment, Siegfried was a little speechless and incoherent.

However, anyone could tell that he was very happy.

Although there were too many things that even he couldn't explain, but at this moment, he didn't want to care about anything.

"It's good to be alive..."

Rather, being alive is better than anything else.

"You kid smiles like a silly roe deer, it's so ugly."
