You and me under the world tree

"Simple……"

When Hodder mentioned certain words, Dietrich couldn't help but hesitate to speak.

In fact, she wanted to say that this arrangement did not look simple anymore, because it took even her some time to find the clue to interpret it.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed his style.

"In other words, what I'm interpreting now is false?"

"I didn't read it, but if nothing else happens, it should be fake."

It's really your style...

Dietrich couldn't help but sighed as the past memories came to mind.

In her mind, Hodder seemed to have always been like this.

When others are exhausted to interpret his behavior, they will find that each of his behaviors has countless possibilities.

And when they thought they had guessed his thoughts, they found that it was an illusion he deliberately put on.

An extremely reasonable illusion.

As for his real thoughts and purposes, they are hidden behind this reasonable illusion, and it can even be said to be buried in the depths.

"What's next?"

In the end, Dietrich gave up trying to interpret anything by herself.

"rearrange."

How to sort?

Dietrich wanted to ask this question, but immediately after, Hodder gave her the answer with his movements.

He started moving the books...

He didn't even look at the runes emanating from those books.

Just sort according to your own habits.

"Generally speaking, after being attracted by the runes, many people will be attracted by the divergent runes, but will ignore the carrier itself."

"Is it your notebook?"

"Well, and there are many ways to arrange the diary."

Then, Huo De closed those notebooks, and the brilliance of the runes dissipated directly at this moment.

Then he stacked them up again.

At the top is the first book, followed by the second and third.

When he folded all the strategy notes together, the side of the book shimmered.

It's the spine side...

When the notebooks were neatly stacked, the side of the spine just formed a row of rune inscriptions.

Dietrich also deciphered its meaning in the moments when it shimmered and made a presence.

It was an analysis magic based on the original No.14 rune.

'boom'

In the end, those strategy notes vacated.

They automatically turned the pages of the book, and the runes burned inside flew out of the book as if they had broken free from their shackles.

It flew around and completely distorted the entire space.

Wait, it doesn't seem like space!

Originally, Dietrich seemed to be deceived, but then she realized it.

"Is this...an illusion?"

"Yes, that's right, this is a memory scene that is directly reflected in our brains, but with a little trick, it can be regarded as a way to preserve memory."

Then, what Hodder and Dietrich saw was an ordinary single room.

Sitting at the edge of the desk was a young man in casual clothes. He was wearing auxiliary glasses from the Uktra Hill Company, but he was doing standard manual work in his hands.

In short, he was burning something.

"Hmph... Sure enough."

After seeing the young college student carefully carving runes on the template, Hodder couldn't help shaking his head.

"Are you practicing runes?"

Looking at that clumsy but focused figure, Dietrich couldn't help asking.

To be honest, she can understand the clumsiness that Hodder showed, because beginners must go through this stage.

However, compared to the figure in her impression, it was somewhat unimaginable after all.

"No, it's just a second-class attack and a fever for games."

Magic, after all, is a relatively mysterious thing.

"This kind of supernatural power is difficult to imagine, because it cannot be driven without understanding its meaning, and it is even prone to accidents."

'boom'

Accompanied by Hodder's words, something happened to that diligent figure.

Because the template in his hand exploded directly, and even his fingers were burned.

"hiss……"

That figure just covered his fingers.

However, when he felt the pain, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Magic... Magic is real! So, what about other people? Do gods exist too!"

Chapter 10: Everything Changes

When hearing that voice, Dietrich herself couldn't help showing surprise.

Even though she was standing behind that figure at this moment, she couldn't see the expression on Hodder's face at that time.

He even wore auxiliary glasses that almost covered his face.

However, just from the voice, she could judge the emotion Hodder showed at that time.

Excitement, joy...

Maybe it's because the man she's in contact with has already passed this exciting period, so she can't help but feel a little bit out of harmony.

So, she turned her head and stared at Huo De quietly with her blood red eyes.

"Surprised?"

After noticing Dietrich's gaze, Hodder spoke.

"Not surprised." She shook her head, denying this, "It's just a bit... against the law."

"I also think it's quite against harmony, and I even feel that I was the same as Shabi at that time."

After hearing Hodder's merciless evaluation, Dietrich hesitated to speak.

From his voice, she could hear the strong dissatisfaction.

He must now hate his old self quite a lot.

Why so naive?

"Although I don't have the impression of this aspect, in fact, I did have a good impression of "Nine Realms" and the entire Nordic legend at first."

"It's Slude."

Just when Huo De wanted to continue to say something, he heard this sentence unexpectedly.

Then, he turned his head.

What came into view was Dietrich's red eyes with a strange color.

At this moment, Huo De suddenly felt a chill down his back.

But in the end, he nodded.

"She is the first person of the opposite sex I meet in the game, and she is very beautiful, isn't she?"

Although at this moment, the upper half of Hodder's face was covered by the auxiliary glasses.

But Dietrich felt that there was no dodge in his sight.

When he was looking at him, he was looking at himself.

However, precisely because of his extremely calm attitude, Dietrich couldn't pick any thorns.

"After all, she is a Valkyrie, and she is also a god." She whispered, "Compared to humans, gods are naturally beautiful, and even old people can exude unique charm."

Although Dietrich's words sound normal, for some reason, Hodder can always hear something else from them.

"Not to mention, the mother of Storm Goddess Slude is still one of the most beautiful Sif. Of course she is very beautiful, much more beautiful than me."

Fine……

Perhaps at the beginning, Hodder would still have various guesses.

But the moment Dietrich blurted out that last sentence, he understood.

"Why do you suddenly have such an idea?" he asked.

"It's just stating the facts." Facing Hodder's gaze, Dietrich said.

Dietrich hadn't actually said anything wrong, although her calm, over-the-top voice sounded a little strange.

But if you really analyze it objectively, it is indeed the case.

And more importantly, Dietrich is completely different from the gods, her skin is whiter than normal people.

Different from the 'white' of Hewale and the soldiers under her command, the paleness that Hewale used to have was caused by living in a place like the northern seas without having been exposed to the sun since childhood.

But Dietrich's whiteness can be described as fair, but it is not rosy.

Coupled with the blood-red eyes exuding a strange feeling, it will indeed cause a kind of discomfort after looking at it for a long time.

Not to mention, the mainstream aesthetic in the atrium world is blonde hair.

Slude's mother used to be proud of her long, pure golden hair. Although Slude didn't care about her hair as much as her mother did, she also inherited this advantage.

In comparison, Dietrich's naturally pale hair seemed much inferior.

Then, she just lowered her head.

"Slude is perfect," she said

But then, she took a deep breath and didn't continue the topic.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help it." She said

Although she apologized so much, in terms of tone, she still had a little bit of dissatisfaction.

After all, some topics should not be brought up by Hodder himself - especially in front of Dietrich.

"She has always been important to you."

"It's a lie to say that you don't care or that it's not important. No one doesn't like beautiful things, including me. Even from the player's point of view, it's normal to want to gain favor with beautiful female NPCs. Is not it?"

possessive?

Favor?

Show desire?

This kind of thing is actually difficult for Hodder to explain clearly.

And now, even after tearing away the barrier of the game completely, Slude still has a place in Hodder's heart.

Not because of anything else, because she symbolizes the original memory.

She can be regarded as a novice-oriented NPC of Hodder. Hodder asked her for martial arts and learned magic from her.
