You and me under the world tree

After all, Dietrich's comprehension speed was very fast. When Hodder reminded her to this point, she naturally called out the word.

But even if she understood what Hodder was trying to say, that didn't mean she understood it.

Because at this moment, the image of her good best friend and her friend could not help appearing in her mind.

"That's not right. If this is divine power, then some of the giants I saw in Jotunheim..."

"what happened?"

"I once traveled in the kingdom of giants: Jotunheim."

"uh-huh?"

"Then, I met the giant princess. At that time, we became good friends. She is the daughter of the king of giants, Wavrunil: Zebul."

When she said this, Dietrich paused for a moment.

"Do you know who Wavrunier is?"

In fact, to all the humans of Midgard, the kingdom of giants seemed rather mysterious.

Even those merchants who are brave enough to hire warrior guards to cross the Iron Forest to the border of the Giant's Kingdom will not have much understanding of the social makeup there.

To put it bluntly, they dare not.

Although in Midgard, many merchants boasted that they had been to Jotunheim and brought back the goods sold there.

However, this kind of thing is just for fun on the surface.

After all, for these people, even if they just crossed the iron forest and arrived at the border town of the giant kingdom, it was considered to have arrived at the giant kingdom, and there was nothing wrong with it.

In the long years when humans and giants gradually came into contact and interacted with each other, only Dietrich Dietermadottir was an exception.

When she was young, she relied on her incomparable martial arts and demon blood and power to cross the iron forest directly and domineeringly, and then went all the way to the hinterland of Jotunheim, traveling alone in the kingdom of giants and seeing completely different scenery.

It was also for this reason that she came into contact with the upper layers of the giant.

"Wavrunil is a giant king, and there are many giant kings in Jotunheim, and they all have their own titles..."

At the beginning, Dietrich really wanted to explain your matter in detail.

She didn't wait for Hodd to say anything before subconsciously classifying him as one of the giants who didn't understand.

"Forget it, you can treat them as kings. Although the composition is different, it is similar to the kingdoms on our side."

Maybe she felt that these words were really too long, so after hesitating for a moment, she still compressed them.

"As for those giants, quite a few of them have such power...Although I haven't really seen it, Zebul told me about it."

"Um……"

For what Dietrich said, Hodder didn't show any surprise.

Although he himself was only hearing such news for the first time, in fact, a considerable part of it was supported by poems and legends in the era he lived in.

Perhaps elves have no supernatural powers, and perhaps dwarves are good at magic and handicrafts, but as the two oldest races in the world, giants and gods do have the power to call wind and rain by instinct.

Not magic, but their innate power.

and……

"Actually, there are records of this in Midgard." Hodder said.

"But aren't those fake?"

Because human beings don't have such power, and they can't understand the power possessed by gods and giants, so they simply integrated their power completely.

"It should be called for convenience..."

"No one to prove that these are not."

"..."

At this moment, Dietrich felt that she could not speak a word.

Because Hodder's answer can be said to be impeccable.

Immediately afterwards, a trace of irritability appeared inexplicably in her heart.

Not because of anything else, just because she lacked a little self-confidence, which made her unable to trust her own judgment.

"The power of giants, I can't tell you too much. Regarding this point, maybe you can see it yourself."

Finally, she said this.

"uh-huh."

He didn't respond much, Hodder just frowned at this moment.

He didn't move his pace, still standing in place.

"Hodder?"

Seeing such a sage, Dietrich felt a little strange.

"Ok?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm curious... If the power of giants and gods is common, where is the source?"

"..."

However, this is what Hodder said casually after all.

He did think about it before, but he didn't think about it deeply because he knew there wouldn't be any answers now.

Well, at least for now...

"Speaking of which, the Asa Protoss seem to be particularly obsessed with magic."

"?!"

Chapter 44: 'Jiao Chen'

Some of the words were actually spoken by Hodder casually, and this is also a well-known fact to some extent.

Although no one knows the original source of this story, the story of Odin trading one eye for the fountain of wisdom and then controlling the seven runes is well known.

Well, yes, there were indeed only seven runes related to magic in the beginning.

But Odin and the three goddesses of fate expanded the runes to eighteen runes with different effects, and Odin shared the meaning and power of seventeen runes with humans.

Of course, in the eyes of some believers who respect gods extremely, this story is proof that the king of gods loves mankind.

The reason is that in the eyes of humans, the gods themselves possess great power, and they actually don't need magic at all.

But even so, God King Odin still made 'magic' and generously taught them to humans.

Whatever the truth, that's how some priests explained it, that the gods won magic for the sake of humans.

On the other hand, there are also some people who are naturally rebellious and like to attack mainstream perceptions.

When everyone is praising the gods, some people just like to jump out to refute this, and try to find some examples to prove that the gods are not omniscient and omnipotent, and they also need magic.

However, this sound is a decimal after all.

They did appear once, but they were quickly drowned in the flood, and no one heard them anymore.

As for themselves, they were either killed by angry believers, or forced to flee elsewhere, and then kept silent about it.

Anyway, there are only two mainstream cognitions in the world now, one is the above: the story of Odin sacrificing his eyes for human beings in exchange for magic.

The other is sacrificing the eyes. Someone deliberately slandered the gods. How could a powerful, omniscient and omnipotent god need to sacrifice one of his eyes if he wanted to obtain the fountain of wisdom?

But no matter what, because of the belief and worship of the Asa Protoss, most of the world regards praising the gods as the mainstream.

Any statement that attacks the gods without substantive evidence will be regarded as heresy.

And that's what happened.

It is not known whether he was consumed by the anger of the masses or punished by heaven.

Hodder himself, however, is an exception.

Because even for the gods, he himself is a bug-like existence.

He will pull those gods with divine power to the same realm as him, and then defeat them with rich experience.

Since he completely defeated the God of Thunder in the northern sea, the Aesir Protoss no longer attacked him under balance, and even Odin would back down in the struggle of magic.

Therefore, it is absolutely false to say that he himself is in awe of the gods.

And being able to walk with him, Dietrich was naturally not the kind of girl who followed the rules.

So, certain people naturally develop spoilage in their ears.

The gods fight for magic for humans?

What are you kidding...

Odin is definitely magic to claim for himself, there's no question about that.

As for why humans in Midgard can learn magic, Hodd would rather believe that it was the work of giants!

However, as for the source of power of the Asa Protoss.

"The Asa Protoss are obsessed with magic, does that mean..."

"Okay, there's no need to think about this kind of thing."

Just when Dietrich was thinking subconsciously and asked, Hodder waved his hand.

"It's pointless to discuss this now, because the fact is that the Aesir do have 'divine power', and it's called 'divine power' because they proclaim the existence of this power."

"Right……"

At first, Dietrich expressed dissatisfaction with Hodder's inhumane behavior.

Because this is really something that can be answered in one sentence, but that man just refused to answer directly.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with his statement.

Because for them, entanglement with gods and obsession with magical powers does not make sense at the moment.

Maybe worth discussing later, but for now...

"Can you see which god's handwriting this is?"

After calming down a little, she spoke.

"Instead of considering the power of the gods, why not consider whether we are in an environment created by a certain god with divine power?"

"?!"

Regarding the so-called divine power, Dietrich is still a little slow in terms of performance.

She is good at magic and other powers, but these powers are inherently traceable.

She has become accustomed to relying on the logic of magical thinking to judge the so-called 'supernatural power', but she has never considered divine power, a 'natural force' that conforms to the laws of the world's operation no matter what.

Therefore, when Hodder mentioned this, her vigilance rose again.

"Have we been exposed?"

"Exposed is not exposed, don't say we use magic... If they can really rely on the so-called jungle environment or directly perceive the crowd, then can I still live until now?"

At this moment, Dietrich's mood can only be described as ups and downs.

Maybe it's because she seldom gets along with others alone, let alone someone like Hodder who overwhelms her with certain aspects of knowledge and cognition.

At this moment, she suddenly didn't know what to do.

In the end, maybe she was really angry, and she punched him directly on the shoulder.

"Hiss, what are you doing?"

"Let you scare me."

When Huo De looked back, what he saw was the face flushed with anger.

Perhaps because of the blood of the devil, Dietrich's skin has always been delicate, and compared to the fairness of ordinary girls, her skin has a pale and morbid beauty.

Also for this reason, when she started to blush, the impact of this contrast was more conspicuous than anyone else.

But this kind of 'delicacy' may not be tolerated by ordinary people.
