You and me under the world tree

Seeing that the man who caused them a lot of trouble was mentioned again, Fei said calmly.

"No one knows magic better than me. Now, that man is no threat to us."

Finally, she smiled, and then turned her attention to You Le.

"I think someone will try to stop this, right? Now the point is that guy... the awakened fire giant."

Then, she took a deep breath.

"Don't forget our mission."

Chapter 54: The First Bait

The gear of fate is slowly moving, and it is leading all life to an unknown but doomed future.

However, the so-called 'fate' is after all an invisible and intangible thing.

For some, it exists, and it is like a rope tied around the neck, threatening their life at any time and anywhere.

And for some, it doesn't matter at all.

Anyway, Howard didn't care about these.

He likes to think wildly, it's true, but at the same time he has a lot of self-control.

If you keep thinking about it, it will waste a lot of time.

But now, he obviously doesn't have that much time to think about it.

Even, thinking too much will make it difficult for you to move forward.

And because of these reasons, Huo De put aside those things that are extremely distant to him, and put all his thoughts on his daily life.

And there are only a few of his daily life:

Eat, sleep, play games.

In addition to this, it is time to walk around, after all, the rural scenery is quite good.

In addition, the rest of the time allows him to continue to do task strategy and interpretation of the world view, after all, these belong to his daily work.

At least until he goes abroad to Denmark to visit Steckerd's family and his online wife, he's decided to keep it that way.

However, even so, there is still a lingering doubt in his heart.

That's about himself...

No one told him why he could go back to the distant past through this game.

No one told him who sent him back by what method.

reason?

significance?

Because these things are closely related to himself, whenever he is free, he can't help but think about these things.

In the final analysis, this is still a question that cannot be answered or resolved.

Because in the final analysis, if you want to answer the above-mentioned questions, there is one question that you can't get around.

He... who is that blind Hodder who has lived for a long time.

Maybe it's the 'reincarnation' of some people just like Surte was?

But, is there a concept of reincarnation in Norse legends?

No, absolutely not.

For mortals, there are only three destinations for the soul:

The brave will go to Asgard to share the glory with the gods

The sick, the murdered, the outcast by the gods, and even the god-haters travel to Helheim, the realm of the Queen of Death.

If you don't go to these two places, if you stay in the human world forcibly, your soul without physical support or other support will eventually dissipate.

Maybe being a wraith can survive longer, but they are generally the achievements of some heroes.

Even the gods, even the legends circulating today, the gods who died before the doomsday battle will be resurrected, and the gods who died in the doomsday battle will completely dissipate.

Even from the current point of view, maybe the trend of "myth" in reality is completely different from that recorded in books, but how can it be possible for gods to "reincarnate" without special reasons?

What's more, even Mu Si himself denied this.

Because he himself does not admit that he is Surte, nor does he deny the reincarnation of Lao Shizi.

According to him, it is:

"It's enough to live your own life. I always like to associate myself with some mythical characters. Is it cheap?"

And for this, Howard deeply agrees.

Compared with the so-called "destiny", he doesn't like to be manipulated by others, even Lao Shizi's "destiny".

but……

"I had a son who used to make me proud, but one day, he died."

"His name is Hodur and he is a boy I am proud of."

Unknowingly, Huode once again remembered what the Queen of Heaven had said.

Even, perhaps because of the deep impression, he even remembered the demeanor of the woman exuding motherhood.

Even the voice is very clear.

For a moment, even now, he couldn't help being a little distracted.

Until he heard the sound of footsteps next to his ears, he came back to his senses.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality these days."

"Don't you want to stay longer?"

"No, I'm still the princess of Iceland after all. Although the Netherlands is prosperous, my hometown needs me even more."

Facing His Majesty's seemingly symbolic words of persuasion, the beautiful Princess can only respond regretfully.

If this is the beginning of some kind of fantasy story, then the next development must be that the kingdom of His Majesty the King or Her Majesty the Princess was destroyed by the flames of war, and the unspoken friendship was also wiped out.

Or maybe for some reason, the friendship that once existed between the two kingdoms no longer exists, and they eventually had to fight each other.

If this is a fairy tale, then the next unfolding may be the same as the general fantasy story, but it will definitely end with a perfect ending.

However, this is Midgard after all, and the power and throne of the king are not the ultimate wishes of these people.

Another goal binds these young people together:

Siegfried, King of Destiny and Lord of Armies of the Netherlands

Hilda, the princess of Iceland, the giant Gonlu and the daughter of Gripal the Wise

Of course, there was another Nanna who didn't know anything and was just being dragged by her best friend.

Those three young men stood there, and behind them were their guards.

Of course, only Icelandic and Dutch guards.

As Her Royal Highness Princess of Norway, Nanna has been by her best friend's side until now.

However, to be precise, Hilda had to stay by her side for some reason.

And now, they have lived in the Netherlands for about one and a half months, and this period of time is counted from the day when His Majesty the King of the Netherlands ascended the throne.

Moreover, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Iceland was not the only one who did this. In fact, most of the kingdom's envoys did not.

Perhaps people like King Gunter of Burgundy and Prince Losger of Denmark had to hurry back to their kingdoms, but they also left envoys stationed.

On the surface, they hope to maintain friendly communication with Siegfried, but in fact, Siegfried can be said to be very clear about their thoughts.

The Sword of Adelin...

The holy sword that exudes the same brilliance as the holy sword of wrath, Gulam, has always been coveted.

But in fact, this is what Siegfried and the others discussed from the beginning, and this is what they want.

If it wasn't for this purpose, then he wouldn't have to take it out in public at all.

Because Siegfried had already publicly declared that he would not start a war easily in order to prove his righteousness, so they needed a reason.

After all, judging from the current situation, the Netherlands is actually in an invincible position.

No one dared to offend the flamboyant Kingdom of the Netherlands, those kings would weigh the strength of their own kingdom, and further fear would arise.

If nothing else, I am afraid that the gods will also choose to take a cold approach to the Netherlands today.

They will not stop the war, because the energy of war will continuously send the heroic souls of the dead to God's Domain, but on the other hand, they will not hope that the Netherlands will continue to expand its territory like the former Wartooth King Harald.

Therefore, the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands should not have anything similar to the 'Oracle'.

Therefore, the reasons for this can only be found by the Netherlands.

And the sword of Aidilin was the first bait they threw.

Chapter 55: Leave

Divine weapon...

After all, the atrium world is a world that pays attention to individual heroism, and in this world that pays attention to personal strength and likes to emphasize honor and reputation, all kinds of magical weapons have always occupied an extremely important position.

Countless people are eager for a weapon that cuts iron like mud, and even has various mysterious powers.

Moreover, more importantly, in this world, the bonus of a holy sword or magic sword to a powerful martial artist is not simply 1+1.

At the same time, some weapons carry great power in their own right.

For example, the name of the Volsung family resounded throughout the atrium world, and even once suppressed the holy sword of wrath, Gulam, for an era.

If there is no holy sword of wrath, then Siegmund of the Volsung family may still be the number one warrior in the atrium at that time, yes, but it is not to the point where there is no weakness.

Because, as it turns out, Siegmund gets tired too.

Without the blessing of the holy sword, even the clan known as the god of war on earth would fall under the joint attack of the soldiers.

Otherwise, the Irfin tribe, a family that relies on blood inheritance, would not be weak in succession after the demigod Xiji and the warrior Ingwi.

It was not until the appearance of Siegmund holding the holy sword that this title was revived again.

Because of the mysterious power that comes with the holy sword, this gave Siegmund the ability to sweep away ordinary soldiers.

Almost no one can withstand a blow from the Holy Sword of God's Wrath head-on without any sky-exploding armor, even those heroes who claim to have powerful ones.

Besides magic...

This world is so unfair.

If there is no adventure, if there is no guidance from the Valkyrie, if there is only outstanding talent but no weapons that match the talent and personal strength, then on a large-scale battlefield, it may only fall into the ranks of the poor. A slightly better ending.

Therefore, one can imagine how important it is for a kingdom to have a hero who holds a true holy sword or magic sword.

This is why the kings and nobles will take good care of the magical weapons after they get them, and even pass them down as family heirlooms from generation to generation.

This is also why some magic swords clearly have a curse that can be called fate, but countless heroes still flock to them.

Even if it is not a strategic weapon like the holy sword of wrath, an outstanding hero who holds a second-level magic sword can still perform his job as a 'meat grinder'.

It is very easy to use whether it is charging the battle or taking the enemy's head. It can be called a sharp saber at the strategic level.

If those magical weapons from the hands of outstanding dwarf craftsmen are so sought after, let alone the Holy Sword of God's Wrath.

It was enough for a hero to stand alone against a thousand armies—something that Siegmund did, after all.

However, the facts have long proved that not everyone can take out the holy sword of divine wrath that is being inserted into Barnstock, the tree of children.

Even Seward the Ring, who almost achieved the same feat as Harald, couldn't pull out the holy sword, let alone the others.

Under such circumstances, as a replica of the holy sword of wrath, Gulam, it is inevitable that the sword of glory, Aidilin, will be coveted by all parties.

Whether it is out of their own vanity or strategic intentions, every kingdom needs a weapon comparable to the Holy Sword of God's Wrath.

Maybe that holy sword might not be as powerful as Gorum, but the same glow of anger that emanated that day left an extremely deep impression on their hearts.

You can tell just by looking at it, it is definitely not an 'decoration', it really has power.
