You and me under the world tree

"Because I like a certain warrior and want him to enter Valhalla, I can borrow my weapon and kill him through the hands of others. Because I like a certain warrior and want to see how he makes contributions, so I incite hatred and let him enter Valhalla. His otherwise beautiful life was completely shattered, and finally he was motivated to expand his territory."

"..."

"Of course, for some reason, the gods had to 'cut off the love', shot and smashed his holy sword, and the soul was not allowed to enter Asgard in the end. It’s like having to lose your pet dog at home.”

Finally, Howard took a deep breath.

"If you want to say why, this is God. There is no other reason. Humans and gods have never been on the same level."

Then he narrowed his eyes.

"For the gods, human beings can be anything, they can be their favorite pet dog, they can be a character in a certain story they like, and once they don't like it, get tired of it, or even hate it, they can easily Erase him."

Then Howard laughed.

His laugh was dark and scary.

And in that dull voice, Dietrich could even hear a trace of desolation.

"After all, as I said before, this world is created by gods. Even if they are not omniscient and omnipotent, they are far from being as powerful and invincible as most people imagine, but it is undeniable that they immediately At the apex of the Nine Realms is the oldest life in the world, both in terms of lifespan and natural strength, it is far superior to human beings."

Yes, no matter how you deny it, this is the truth.

Human beings are in no way comparable to gods, at least in a broad sense.

"The gods don't need to understand humans at all, because what drives them is nothing more than personal preference, except for the final 'doom'."

'Zizzi'

At this moment, Howard heard the sound of flames burning and metal melting.

And when he turned his gaze to Dietrich again, what he saw was the burning molten iron armor.

【Fortress of Greed Anvidet】

This armor that can resonate with flames and produce high temperature damage is currently burning.

Although Dietrich didn't say a word at this moment, the molten iron flowing on her armor also symbolized her psychological state to some extent.

Wordless anger...

"Restrain your anger, random anger is a sign of incompetence and cowardice."

'hiss'

At this moment, Dietrich was like a high-temperature heating body.

It's also fortunate that her combat boots haven't been transformed yet, otherwise, she always feels that she can completely melt this place.

But in the end, perhaps because she finally controlled the unwillingness and anger in her heart, the flame finally completely subsided.

"Yes, that's it, restrain your anger, it is the driving force that drives us to act, so we can't let it destroy everything we have accumulated so far."

"Is the god very strong?"

"That's not clear."

Gently stroking the translucent crystal coffin, Huo De whispered.

"In fact, I have never dealt with those gods with powerful divine power, only the weak among them."

In this case, Hodder's words have no reference value theoretically.

but……

"One thing is certain."

"Ok?"

"Even gods are made of flesh and blood... It's better to refer to giants, after all, they are the oldest life in this world... You should have a certain understanding of giants, right?"

Then, Dietrich couldn't help being taken aback.

But then, she shook her head again.

"Giants and giants... are not the same. The strong among them hold quite powerful power, and they can change the world with just a few gestures, but there are also weak ones... For example, Ike, when I lived in my good friend's house, I also It’s impossible to offend them just to prove something like this.”

"That's okay, we can ask our dear Miss Brunhilde about this matter." Hodder said.

At the same time, his hand happened to be stroking the crystal coffin, and then he stared at the frost on his fingertips for a long time.

And this pause caught Dietrich's attention.

"On this crystal coffin..."

"No trace of magic... at least not on the surface."

Then, Huo De raised his hand directly, and then pushed hard.

'Zi'

'boom'

With the sound of the cover being pushed away, the magnificent crystal cover fell directly to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, both Hodder and Dietrich took a step back at the same time.

And then...

then nothing happens.

Nearly 1 minute passed and they were still standing in place.

In the end, as if they had discovered something unbelievable, they couldn't help but glanced at each other.

"No trace of magic?"

After looking around and the unsealed crystal coffin, Huo De took a few more steps.

He came to the edge of the crystal coffin again, staring at the inside of the crystal coffin.

The figure in armor lay quietly inside, seemingly sleeping very peacefully.

"Excuse me for being rude," he whispered.

In the end, he took off the helmet of the Sleeping Beauty, and then, that beautiful face came into view.

The Valkyrie Brunhilde deserves to be the beauty who can attract the hero Sigurd with just a waking look.

Even at this moment, she closed her eyes tightly, but she still couldn't change the fact that she was beautiful.

However, the problem is not here...

Because at this moment, although the Valkyrie seemed to be deeply asleep, her complexion was pale without blood.

at the same time……

"There are no vital signs, it doesn't look like dormancy."

After detecting her state with magic for a while, Hodder's expression under his helmet could not help showing a touch of surprise.

"died?"

This seems to be different from the legend...

No, this is simply going astray!

Chapter 59: Armor Break

In fact, at this moment, Hodder's brain is actually a little bit confused.

Because of this sudden shock, he even subconsciously passed through the content of "Volsong Saga" in his mind.

Especially the part about the Valkyrie Brunhilde...

What is the content of the legendary hero Sigurd after he crossed the flame that tested his courage, followed the gray path into the castle, and saw the sleeping Valkyrie?

Legend has it that the hero uncovered the helmet of the sleeping 'warrior' and saw a beautiful face.

At that moment, the hero fell in love with her.

So the question is, how did Brunhilde wake up at that time?

Am I missing any steps?

Thinking of this, Hodder even set his sights on the armor Brunhild was wearing.

Remember that in the legend, Brunhilde's armor is actually some kind of bondage and shackles

If I remember correctly, if I really want to wake her up, it should be to cut her armor with a knife?

"hiss……"

Looking at the thick armor, Hodder's brows under the helmet could not help but frown.

To be honest, he does have such thoughts now.

Completely imitate the practice of 'Sigurd' who does not exist in the Nine Realms, and use a knife or other weapons to cut open the armor that looks like a shackle.

Maybe, after Brunhilde is freed from this kind of shackles and confinement, the so-called 'sleeping' Brunhilde can wake up?

However, this kind of thought only appeared in Hodder's mind for a moment in the end.

In fact, Hodder had no intention of practicing the idea in his mind at all.

The aesthetics and etiquette are secondary. The most important thing is that no one knows what is inside the armor.

What Horde is most worried about is whether this is a trap...

For example, if someone untied Brunhilde's armor rashly, would this seemingly unresponsive woman suddenly jump up and chop off someone's head.

Or, is there a magic rune engraved inside the armor, and once the rune meets a certain trigger condition, it will be activated, and then cause even worse consequences.

Combined with the deeds of those gods, Hodder certainly felt that such a thing was possible.

After all, for them, as long as the human world of Midgard is still under their control, so-called 'heroes' will continue to appear.

Even, in the case of a certain one-eyed old man who did not want to be named, it will be found that those gods still have the hobby of 'making' heroes.

If the mortal world really doesn't have those outstanding heroes who can win their love, they don't mind letting them give birth to an heir through hypnosis, repulsing women in the world, or using fame and property as temptations.

Odin has always liked it, and especially likes to let other people's husbands guard the door.

Yes, that's the truth.

Mortal heroes are extremely cheap to the Protoss, even if the Volsungers are completely extinct, this is nothing to Odin.

Because it's a big deal, he just needs to create another character similar to 'Demigod Xiji'.

"Tsk, what a hassle."

Although Hodder knew from the beginning that things in this area were not that simple.

But when he really came into contact with the so-called "trial" and "reward" of the gods, he realized that this kind of thing is really not ordinary.

Now he is indeed trying to play a role like Sigurd - proficient in martial arts, but not good at magic.

In fact, for the present, he was trying to avoid using magic to find out about Brunhilde himself.

Because this is the place of trial for the Asa Protoss, the heroes they favor basically have no way to learn powerful magic.

But unfortunately, he was not as reckless as the people of Volsunger.

Moreover, because of the sensitive identity issue, he also had to look forward and backward here.

"If we're not here..."

"Ok?"

While Hodder was talking to himself, Dietrich couldn't help showing a puzzled look.

"what have you found?"

After hearing Dietrich's question, Hodder first gave a wry smile, then shook his head:

"No, it's nothing... I was just thinking, if it's not us here, but the heroes chosen by the gods, they will definitely give guidance to their favorite heroes, at least they won't be as confused as we are."

In fact, at this time, he always had such a subtle feeling.

How should I put it, he suddenly felt that he was back when he was playing games.

Triggering a hidden treasure chest or a crisis without knowing anything or even a strategy is probably the same feeling.

However, there is a slight difference.

In the game before, even if it was a one-time reward, what you lose when you fail is just a 'reward'.
