You and me under the world tree

Rubbing his shoulders a little, Huo De quietly moved away by about a step.

"With just one punch of yours, an untrained farmer can be slapped flying by your slap."

"I don't care...you are not a normal person."

"Actually, I didn't scare you, and I didn't say we were exposed."

"..."

At this moment, Dietrich's supposedly fair face turned redder.

But that's nothing to be shy about.

Although she is not a sharp-tongued person, her mouth is not stupid. Although she is not good at explaining things, she is not unable to launch a 'counterattack'.

However, as far as it is now, she is suppressed to death.

Because it was true that she had misunderstood before, so she was wronged.

"Let's tell the result!"

"Okay... If Xindal Peak is really covered by the divine power of the gods, then I guess the lush jungle below is the silent god of the forest, and the icy and snowy environment I guess is the god of hunting in winter, as for the floating The rootless fire of . . . perhaps the cunning god of wildfire."

Huode casually reported the titles of the three gods.

As a resident of Midgard, Dietrich naturally understood what he was referring to.

"This... I'm afraid it's not easy to handle." She whispered, "In a sense, these three are related to the king of the gods."

In other words, it is likely to be Odin's confidant.

However, what Dietrich didn't expect was that just when she was so worried, she saw the man beside her staring at him with subtle eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a bad premonition emerged in her heart.

"what happened again?"

"It's nothing, I just think your news is outdated."

"?"

Chapter 45: How did you know?

The silent satyr refers to Vidal.

His belief has not actually established any separate system in the human world, nor does it have important worship days and temples like gods such as Thor, Odin, and Frigga.

However, that doesn't mean he's unimportant.

Because he is the god of the jungle, the god of the forest, and is sometimes regarded as the god of the hunt.

Hunters will silently pray to this god when they go hunting in the forest and want to make themselves lucky.

After all, no matter what, there will always be various "unknowns" in the forest of Midgard, and for the weak group of human beings, the unknown is the greatest danger.

They don't feel they have the power to resist the unknown, so they naturally choose to pray according to tradition.

It doesn't matter whether the god of the forest in the domain of gods has heard the prayers of those poor mortals who only run around for three meals a day.

Anyway, for those hunters who rely on hunting for a living, they feel that they are three-point destiny and seven-point hard work.

Even, not only those prey, even adventurers who want to enter the forest to explore, or even just travelers who want to travel through the jungle, caravans will beseech Vidal's mercy.

And as the interactions between the various kingdoms became more frequent, and there were more and more commercial trades, although Vidal's beliefs did not have an important impact, nor were they divided into religious sects, they were quite broad.

And more importantly, he is Odin's child.

Regardless of his belief in the mortal world and the loyalty of his followers, this identity alone determines the relationship between him and Odin.

Moreover, unlike the 'half-god' born of Odin and a mortal lover like Hermod, Vidal is the child born of Odin's giant lover.

Regardless of Odin's attitude towards his giant lovers, he is quite close to his children.

You can understand this by looking at Thor...

Vidal is naturally one of Odin's confidantes, that's right.

As for Loki, the god of trickery, his belief is not considered mainstream, but it is quite popular in the northern peninsula, especially trusted by fishermen.

Just as people believed that Vidal would protect mortals who entered places such as forests and jungles, they also believed that Loki, the god of wildfire, would help them melt the ice and assist them in catching good fish.

Although he himself has no blood relationship with the Aesir Protoss and is a frost giant, he is Odin's sworn brother.

As for Uriel, the god of winter, his popularity is actually a little narrower.

First of all, because the function of "protecting hunting" was gradually replaced by Vidal, the mortal hunters might only think of the winter god in the horned bumps in winter.

The second reason is that he himself has not manifested a miracle for a long time.

There is no specific sacrificial process, no specific sacrificial date, and there is not even a tribute.

So gradually, the belief about him is gradually passing away in the world. Perhaps only when the seasons change, people will mention his name.

But it's still the same, belief and so on are human things after all.

For people like Dietrich, she is more concerned about the identity of the god of winter: the child of the harvest goddess Sif, and Sif is Thor's wife.

"These three guys are related to Odin in terms of relationship."

Staring at Hodder, she said.

"I think there should be something very important on Xindal Peak, maybe it's a 'gift' personally prepared by the King of Gods for the warrior he values."

Immediately afterwards, after she pondered for a while, her expression became serious.

"For ordinary people, this is the first step into the trap of the gods, but in view of what you said, Siegfried seems to have been guided by the Valkyrie after completing the great feat of slaying the dragon, so on Siendal Peak There should be more of a sweetener here."

Dietrich thought so, and thinking from a normal perspective, there was nothing wrong with what she said.

"After all, if you want the heroes to return to their hearts and make them dependent on the gods, you must give them some sweetness in the early stage."

Although there is no direct evidence, Dietrich is also a member of the royal family after all.

Although she is not a god, she still knows how to buy people's hearts.

After saying this, Dietrich's expression gradually became gloomy.

She seemed to have finally recovered from the embarrassment and indignation that Huo De teased, and her ruddy face gradually calmed down.

"Although it is a gift and sweetness for those people, it may be a deadly trap for us."

As for how deadly it can be...

"In the worst case, maybe we will encounter the siege of the gods on the Siendal Peak. After all, I think the gods should show their faces theoretically."

"God is not afraid... Besides, I don't think the problem here is that simple."

"But almost all the miracles that appear here are directly related to the God King..."

"So your news is outdated. I don't know much about the God of the Forest and the God of Winter, but something happened to the God of Wildfire recently."

"?"

At this moment, Dietrich couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

In fact, Hodder has already emphasized this point.

But at the time, she didn't take it to heart.

Because subconsciously, not only did she not understand, but she also couldn't imagine what kind of news she had that could be outdated.

But now, she realizes that this matter does not seem to be that simple, because the things Hodder said afterwards are too informative.

"What happened to the God of Tricks?"

"He seems to be suspected of murdering his fellow clan, and he was detained during the judgment within the Protoss. I don't know if he was exiled."

"Is there such a thing in the Protoss?"

"Why not? Gods are not some kind of fixed puppets. After all, gods and giants are just the oldest beings in this world."

Of course Dietrich understood this.

It's just that, compared to giants, gods seem too far away from humans.

There are legends of gods everywhere in this world, but human beings have never been close to those lofty beings.

Asgard is the dream destination of the warriors in the world...

"The god of tricks is the righteous brother of the king of gods. If you guess correctly, he is even one of the founders of the current Asa clan, right?"

"Um……"

"Then why did he..."

"Then it's a long story."

The grievances and grievances between Loki and the Protoss, although Hodd does not know all of them, but only those he knows and fully confirms can take a long time to explain.

"and many more……"

However, just as he was brewing his own words, Dietrich's voice came from his ear again.

"Speaking of which, how do you know this kind of thing?"

After hearing this question, Hodder's brows raised unconsciously.

At the same time, he felt that he suddenly lost interest in explaining something.

So in the end, he shook his head.

"Find a time later," he said. "Find a time, and I'll tell you all about it."

Then, he touched his forehead.

"Compared to these things, let's check the flame."

They will not rush through this fire, so they must do a check.

Chapter 46: Left behind...

In fact, it is not difficult to pass through the flame barrier without any foundation at all.

Hodder himself can roughly guess the conditions from the legends he knows, as well as the words of the Valkyrie relayed by Siegfried.

'Heroes who cross the flames are rewarded by the gods'

To put it bluntly, it is to muster up the courage to ignore everything, and then just pass through.

If they were ordinary heroes, or those warriors who had no so-called 'crime record' and were so clean that the gods could rest assured, they could just pass through the flames.

Before leading their heroic souls into Asgard, the gods will try their best to send their envoys to give them guidance, and even give them praise in person.

Even something as unusual as the summit of Shindar was fine, because they wouldn't sit by and let their favorite champion die by accident.

But Hodder and Dietrich are different after all.

Dietrich once expressed hostility to the Valkyrie, and even openly opposed the Valkyrie's mediation and the will of the gods because of her youthfulness.

What's more, during the palace coup, the gods had obviously abandoned her and wanted to support Elmrich and Sivka instead.

Perhaps, in their eyes, Dietrich was a powerful woman.

But the Gothic king Dietmar and Princess Dietrich's rebellion and deceitful behavior of concealing their gender made them extremely annoyed.

If they had known that Dietrich was a girl, they might have recruited her into the ranks of the Valkyries.

But it's too late to say anything now.

As for Huo De, there is no need to say anything more, he is an old anti-God faction, and he even fought against several gods in person and won.

Among them, the envoy Hermod was killed twice by him.

As far as behavior is concerned, although he is not the kind of weak person who can be dealt with directly, it is impossible for him to mediate or even make peace.

Huo De knew that the reason why those aloof gods would not attack him in public was nothing more than his 'protoss status'.

According to Tianhou, it seems that Loki cast some kind of magic to lift his hand or something, so there is no way for him to be unilaterally exiled by the Protoss.

However, now the conflict between him and the Protoss has reached a critical point.

He has a very clear understanding of his self-positioning:

He is the chief culprit who disturbed the order in the eyes of the gods, and as long as he is eliminated, other things can be solved easily.
