You and me under the world tree

However, this is a secret after all, and it is impossible for her to spread it around.

So in the eyes of Krimhild, this seems to be an expression of 'the princess of Iceland unilaterally accepts Siegfried's kindness'.

Jealousy is so strong that even this seemingly innocent act of politeness is considered a taboo.

"If you insist, that woman is hopeless."

Thinking of Krimhild's eager eyes on Siegfried, Hilda finally frowned.

"But to be honest, it's actually hard for me to imagine that there is really such a 'self' person in the world. It's not that I want to doubt anything, but I feel...that woman seems to have always believed in something."

"Huh? What?"

Realizing that she couldn't understand what her best friend said at all, Nanna's eyes could not help but be filled with great doubts.

"Krimhild, what's the matter with her?"

"No, it's nothing, maybe it's my illusion."

Hilda is not idle, she really has no interest in Krimhild.

And more importantly, she has confidence in Siegfried.

"He's not one of those three-year-olds. People from other kingdoms can eat things of unknown origin, and more importantly, those people in Burgundy absolutely dare not use any 'outside tricks', because the magic This kind of thing is actually very easy to be debunked."

Speaking of this moment, Her Royal Highness Princess of Iceland smiled brightly.

"Do you think, who in this world is confident that he can make small moves under the nose of that sage?"

Human wizards are no good, let alone gods.

Hilda has full confidence in this.

And not to mention the sage who hides in the dark and is known to be elusive, Siegfried alone is not so easy to be manipulated by magic.

This is not to say that he himself has high attainments and talents in magic, but because he has been bathed in dragon blood.

Siegfried told her this secret - he had been bathed in dragon blood, his whole body was invulnerable, even magic couldn't break his skin.

Even the medicine specially prepared and cast by the wizard is the same.

However, Hilda did not share these secrets with Nanna.

In fact, she didn't need to share anything, because Nanna was clearly convinced.

"That's right, after all, that sage has long been famous throughout the atrium world."

Thinking of the man who once showed his face, Nanna nodded slowly.

"So don't worry about these things."

"Your Highness."

At this moment, a voice that sounded familiar to her suddenly came from outside the carriage.

But for a while, she couldn't remember who the voice belonged to.

Think about it carefully, maybe this voice belongs to the guards?

Thinking of this, Nanna couldn't help turning her eyes to her best friend.

At this moment, Hilda's expression didn't change at all.

"is there anything?"

"The sun is almost setting, may I ask if we just go all the way to Amstel, or should we stop and take a break?"

"What do you think, Nana?"

"what?"

"I said, do you think we should stop and rest for a while?"

Seeing her good girlfriend throwing this topic over like this, Nan Na was a little at a loss for a while.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, she finally nodded.

"Then... take a break?"

In the end, the team slowly stopped.

At this moment, Nanna didn't notice that a pair of eyes were watching her from above the sky.

At the same time, she didn't notice that at this moment, her best friend Hilda couldn't help clenching her fist.

Her expression looked calm, but her brows could not help but frown.

"Hilda?"

Perhaps because she noticed the unusual behavior of her best friend at this moment, Nanna couldn't help asking.

But afterwards, the princess of Iceland shook her head.

"No, it's nothing, it will be dark soon, don't run around."

"No."

Then, after taking a deep breath, Hilda directly pushed open the door of the carriage.

Outside, the dedicated guards had already started laying the most basic tents and lighting a campfire.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, the environment here is relatively simple."

In front of Hilda, a guard dressed like everyone else spoke.

He is wearing a helmet, making it difficult to see the specific face.

"please."

Staring at the guard wearing the helmet, Hilda whispered.

Chapter 59: Waiting for the Raid

If calculated at the speed of Hilda and the others, it would take about 7 days to rush from Skywrath King City to the commercial port city of Amstel.

Because in the final analysis, they are not marching here in a hurry, and advancing at full speed is different from advancing slowly like them.

The marching of the army is for the purpose, and they can enjoy the mountains and rivers under the protection of the guards.

Moreover, the northern part of the Netherlands has a gentle terrain, endless verdant plains, surrounding forests, and flowing streams that make people feel refreshed.

It is naturally a good choice to temporarily set up camp in such a place.

But now, Hilda and the others set up their camp on a slightly higher land.

The war horses ate the feed leisurely, and more than a dozen guards surrounded a cauldron.

As for the water source, they are not worried.

Although there is a brook next to them, they don't get water nearby - their princess Hilda can use magic to produce large quantities of clean water, which completely put an end to some people's ulterior motives.

And now, except for the guards who were still standing guard, the other soldiers had taken off their helmets.

They sat with down-to-earth smiles on the edge of a cauldron where beef was simmering over the campfire.

The meat was naturally provided by the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

In order to show the friendship of the landlord, plus the money is really not bad, how could Siegfried make the nobles of all countries have to bring their own dry food when they leave?

This is impossible.

So while preparing some gifts related to money, he also prepared some cattle and sheep.

Theoretically speaking, the guards have to look after the cattle and sheep that marched with the team, and slaughter them on the spot when they are ready to eat.

However, this method, which is not bad for ordinary people, is actually quite troublesome.

After all, for a guard with only a dozen people, at most more than 30 people, on the one hand, they have to be distracted from looking after the princess, and on the other hand, they have to look after cattle and sheep.

It's all about burdening them.

Even though the guards belonging to the royal family are more versatile than ordinary soldiers, it is still a great burden after all.

Things were a little easier for the Icelandic guards, though.

Not because of anything else, but because their king and princess are proficient in magic.

With a princess who is proficient in magic here, the guards responsible for protecting them can save a lot of time.

like food...

They don't need to drive any cattle and sheep, and they don't need to take care of these livestock waiting to be slaughtered all the time, because Her Royal Highness has already prepared meat.

Be it beef or mutton, these meat products have already been processed, and all of them were collected by their highness with magic.

Take it out when you need to eat.

So they lived comfortably, and more importantly, today's food seemed surprisingly good.

Thinking of this, the guards couldn't help sniffing again.

The smell of meat that gradually spread into the nostrils unconsciously aroused their greed.

"However, I still think barbecue is more fragrant."

After barely suppressing the glutton in his heart, a guard suddenly said.

However, he may feel that such words are a bit too much, so he shut up quickly.

After all, no matter what, he didn't cook the dinner, he was just a eater.

"It's easier to cook soup."

However, as if he heard what he said, the guard who was stirring the broth raised his head and said.

Following the sound, what they saw was a figure in a battle helmet, still fully armed.

The other people present basically took off their helmets because they were resting, and put their weapons aside for the time being, but the guy who was cooking soup was still wearing a helmet.

This looks obviously weird all right!

Um?wrong.

Strange?

At this moment, many guards had a subtle feeling in their hearts.

But in the end, they shook their heads.

Forget it, give up thinking about it!

"Give me a bowl!"

Because Her Royal Highness herself did not seem to have imposed any restrictions on this, and the plains of the Netherlands were really safe, so the cheering voices of the guards rang out.

"It's delicious, but it's a pity that there are only these soups. If you live in a small town, you may have other dishes."

"So, why do we set up camp here? If you hurry a little bit and go to a small town or post station, Her Royal Highness can live more comfortably, right?"

The guards on guard remained loyal to their duties, while the guards who were eating began to chat.

Then, this topic quickly sparked a round of discussions, talking about everything.

However, it is a big taboo to discuss people in the royal family at will, not to mention that he is the only heir to the kingdom.

So they will not be too out of line, just limited to some kind of guesswork.

"What do you think?"

At this moment, the guard carrying the soup bowl couldn't help turning his head.

In his memory, there was a person sitting next to him before, and that person was the one who cooked the broth.

However, when he turned around, he realized that he hadn't seen anything.

There is nothing there...

"Eh? What about people?"

At the same time, the helmeted guard had already picked up a plate and walked straight towards the central tent.

This tent was set up temporarily. Although it looks very simple from the outside, the internal facilities can be glimpsed from the door.

Not everything is available, but the basic facilities are there.

Tables, chairs, beds...
