You and me under the world tree

promise……

In Midgard, promise is a very important thing, it is related to credibility and even 'oath', if the oath is made by magic or more powerful power, even the gods must abide by it.

To be able to do this, His Royal Highness can be said to be very affectionate and righteous, at least on the surface.

"You can ask me to do one thing, as long as it is within my power and as long as it does not endanger my country, I will try my best to do it."

This is a promise that belongs to the Gothic prince, and it can be said to be quite precious, and since this is the case, Huo De has no reason to refuse, right?

"We have accepted this promise and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"So that's it for today." After hearing Hodder's words, Prince Dietrich turned around and left. He followed the way he came all the way up, as if he was going to leave just like that.

He won't be here much longer...at least not yet.

"When the sun rises tomorrow, I will send soldiers to sweep here. Before that... please feel free, whatever you want to do."

Sure enough, this prince is not easy...

That was the only thought Hodder had in mind when he heard Dietrich's last words.

A prince cannot be an idiot... No, perhaps it should be said that no one here is an idiot.

Chapter 120: Don't Blame the Society for Black Hands

The prince left. He was wearing the molten iron battle armor that he had just obtained, and he was carrying the whistling magic sword forged by Laijin on his back. Of course, he was allowed to take it away by default.

In the previous conversations, Lakin did not reveal himself after all. His instinct of self-preservation made him abandon the dignity possessed by a dwarf blacksmith, willingly calling himself the slave of Siegfried and Horde, and subservient to others. Down.

The second prince of Gurnita Hyde?

On par with the king of the dwarves, Eveldi, and on the same level as Derlock and Sindri?

How could he bring up this kind of thing, no matter what happened before, in the decades of wandering career, he has long regarded life as the most important thing, so he doesn't care about it at all, even he still Complacent.

For him, calling himself a slave of others is not a shame, as long as he hides in the shadows and is not exposed to the sight of these people.

But unavoidably, Lai Jin began to worry again, because what the prince said just now obviously had a deep meaning.

If Dietrich wanted, he could obviously bring troops over to carry out a round of raids, but he didn't do that. Instead, he specially left them free for a while, and to be honest, it's only noon now , if he can really keep his promise, there is almost 20 hours of blank time in it.

"That man, did he do it on purpose?" After a while, Lai Jin couldn't help asking.

The old dwarf's voice was not so high-pitched at this time, and the low voice inevitably attracted the attention of others.

"Of course, no one here is an idiot." Hodder lightly smiled as he casually answered Lakin's question that seemed to be talking to himself. "To put it bluntly, this is just a deal."

The so-called promise is just a business...

At least from the perspective of Siegfried and the Volsung family, the reason why Hodder agreed to this "promise" is because he knew that there must be a follow-up in this aspect, whether it was because he was in "Nine The position of the character in "World" is still the position of a player, and he has no reason to part ways with that prince.

"Wait a minute, uncle." Just when Hodder couldn't help but cast his gaze on the broken corpse of the giant king and the light spots on the ground that only players could see, Siegfried couldn't help but rang in his ears. the sound of.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Prince... How much does Dietrich really know?"

Maybe it was because he had become a 'friend', or maybe it was because His Royal Highness had left, and Siegfried became more casual in terms of speech, but even so, the young warrior still asked questions. Unavoidably, there was a lingering impatience.

He is a little immature...

But it’s no wonder, after all, he is different from Siegmund who endured humiliation for more than ten years for revenge, and also different from Helgi who received royal education since he was a child. Life and death battles, but experience is still too little, he still needs more polishing.

"Is it important?" Facing such an immature 'nephew', Huo De just asked casually, and his question inevitably made Siegfried a little dazed.

Is it important...

He couldn't help but ask himself this question

If you think about it carefully, the prince has indeed left time for them now, which means that he doesn't want to know what they will do next.

Even, even if he had indeed guessed the identity of his uncle before, and even revealed the identity that Siegfried hadn't felt any real sense of until now, His Royal Highness didn't say anything more, instead just like this left.

So, will he turn his back on his promise and lead his troops to fight back?

No, no, because in terms of performance, he should not be such a person.

Compared to someone like Hodder who doesn't meet much, Siegfried actually stayed in the Prince's Guards for a week, and during this time, he was working as a scout for Dietrich There is also a general understanding.

So why, and would it do him any good?

The answer is of course yes...

At this moment, Siegfried couldn't help thinking of what he had heard and seen.

The Gothic kingdom is not guarded by Valkyries...

Perhaps because of the influence of his uncle, Siegfried himself did not have a good impression of those women who seemed to be able to choose warriors. The so-called honor or dreams blinded his eyes, so his thoughts diverged quickly.

If he remembers correctly, when his Uncle Hodder said that he would never use the power of the Valkyrie, Dietrich's voice was indeed much lighter, and after that, he took advantage of the opportunity provided by his uncle' Step 'down.

"It seems that the Gothic Kingdom is not having a good time..."

While Siegfried was lost in thought on his own, Hodder just casually glanced at the dilapidated corpse of the Giant King.

I still remember that when I was taken by my wife before, this giant king died very decently. Compared with [Giant Warrior Ike] who tested the weapon, [Giant King Green] died very quickly, and the body was also It was very complete, it was scalded by the hot molten iron armor like it is now, and its body was almost melted and burned.

After hesitating for a moment, Huo De finally put his hand on the Naglin epee that was a part of Mr. Wang Gelin. When his fingers touched the epee that was also burned, the drop list also appeared In his field of vision.

【Refractive Helmet (quest item)】

[Accessory Giant Magic Ring (Epic Quality)]

【Shield Giant Rock Barrier】

[Nagrim heavy sword (quest item)]

The four dropped items happened to correspond to the number of heads. After packing them into the backpack in one go, Hodder reached out to touch the residue that radiated brilliance in his eyes.

[Accessory Giant War Ring (Epic Quality)]

[Accessory Giant War Ring (Epic Quality)]

[Forging Material Molten Iron Slag (Epic Quality)]

[Forging Material Molten Iron Slag (Epic Quality)]

"Fuck... what is this..."

After seeing the four fucking things he drove, Hodder couldn't help but cursed.

What the hell is this?

This kind of behavior, which was more extreme than Haishan's three battles with Sasha, deeply hurt his heart, and he felt very bad now, although Dietrich said that he wanted to gather high fashion value in this five-person book A set of molten iron is a very troublesome thing, because this is a typical five-person book, even if five people come to play the book, only five pieces of equipment will be dropped, and there may be duplication.

But what is this now?

It's fine if you don't give him the rarer Howling Rune Sword, but don't give him any parts in the molten iron sleeve? ?

Then, he couldn't help thinking of Dietrich's leaving back, the dark armor, and the howling magic sword that can be used as a two-handed sword for humans.

That dog thing really hacked the sword and armor I should have produced...

Chapter 120: Let's break it down...

However, no matter how much the player Huo De has in his heart, this game's drop mechanism and the non-existent 'NPC black equipment' are purely self-defeating things, his expression will not be shown to NPCs after all—— He had been wearing a helmet after all.

In the eyes of an 'outsider' like Lakin, Hodder just crouched down and touched the giant epee that was almost fused, and he remained frozen there as usual, like a meditator.

But judging from the direction, he should be staring at the heavy sword.

After realizing this, Lai Jin couldn't help feeling proud...

After all, he is a blacksmith no matter what, if a warrior can stare at a blacksmith's weapon, it means that his weapon forging skills are at the absolute pinnacle!

And more importantly, Huode is not a simple fighter, he is also a blacksmith, and as far as Lakin himself knows, Huode is a blacksmith second only to him.

This can be seen from the battle armor on his body and the rune sword on his back. Although Lai Jin basically didn't mention this point directly, the battle armor and the rune sword are both of excellent craftsmanship.

Whether it's the running-in of the metal or the depiction of the runes, he can't criticize it. If there is a real shortcoming, it may be the 'quality'.

However, the quality referred to here is not craftsmanship, but pure metal quality.

In Lakin's view, because he was in Midgard, it was impossible for him to use a large amount of the special Yinxie iron block of Walt Alheim and the light cast iron of the elves, and he couldn't even touch the god iron at ordinary times. So his giant sword and battle armor were confined to an awkward position.

"Speaking of which, have you considered changing your armor?" Lai Jin couldn't help asking when his thoughts wandered here.

However, that man stood there stiffly like a sculpture as always, not intending to respond at all.

Then Lai Jin saw a horrifying scene. He saw that the giant epee that the man was touching disappeared.

Not only that, when Lai Jin moved his eyes to the tragic corpse of the giant king, he found that his helmet, which seemed to be able to withstand any blow, was also missing.

It seemed that with his touch, everything on him disappeared.

Even though Mr. Wang Gelin is indeed not worthy of respect, but your behavior of directly stripping others is really...

"It's great..." Lai Jin said suddenly

Don't expect Laijin to sympathize with these giants. With his character of vengeance, it is considered kind of him not to hit the corpses of these giants twice with his forging hammer.

But even so, Hodder's search behavior inevitably caused a burst of complaints from the dwarves.

"You took these things, are you sure you can use them?"

"Who knows, it's just a pile of rubbish anyway." Huo De, who finally came to his senses, responded like this

The drops in this single-player epic dungeon are indeed similar to those of ordinary dungeons, but the two eye-catching quest items did attract his attention.

"Can you handle these two?"

With a wave of his hand, the garbage-like giant epee fell to the ground, and the silver-white flying wing helmet appeared in his hand as if by magic.

However, compared to the human style, the battle helmet in his hand is obviously several times larger, anyway, it is definitely not fit for human beings.

And he didn't just show it to Laijin. These two things should be common drops in normal dungeons, but they actually became quest items in this special quest scene.

[Mission: Recasting the Trophy]

[Introduction: Wouldn't it be a pity if this sword was just thrown away like this? 】

[Mission Objective: Talk to Lai Jin about the sword issue (0/1)]

【Mission: Refraction】

[Introduction: The helmet is good, but it is obviously not something that humans can wear, why don't you consider dealing with it? 】

[Mission Objective: Talk to Laijin about the helmet issue (0/1)]

These two tasks can obviously be settled on the spot in this scene, so it is normal to throw them to the dwarf blacksmith who is here now.

"I can help you remelt it."

Lai Jin was also unambiguous, he just bent down and touched the obviously damaged giant epee, and a touch of emotion appeared on that old face.

"The material of this sword is good, but I didn't engrave the rune, so it's a pity that such a good material is used."

"Then what happened to that whistling magic sword?"

"That sword is the best work I have ever made, and it is my pursuit of the limit." He said, all the words revealed the dignity of a blacksmith.

But then, the old dwarf's painting style took a sharp turn for the worse...

No, perhaps for Lakin, this is actually the most suitable style of painting, because Hodder and Siegfried are most familiar with him like this.

"But what's more important is that my little trick was seen through. Green said that I would kill me if I didn't help him find a good weapon."

Well, in fact, this is the most important reason...

"Anyway, if you give me your hand, we can melt down this sword and make a new one of the same style—maybe it will be better than the one on yours."

This sentence is not Lakin joking, although it may offend Hodder's possible "blacksmith pride", but this is the fact that Nagrin, except for the enchantment without any protective measures, is of great importance in terms of style and other aspects. Stronger than the sage's sword on Hodder.

After all, in terms of materials, it is made of Yinxie iron from the dwarf kingdom.

"Well, so be it."

[Mission Objective: Talk to Laijin about the sword issue (1/1]

This task is half completed, and the next step is to recast, so...

"This helmet is really a pity."

"It's simple, and this helmet doesn't look like much trouble."
