You and me under the world tree

But what happened next?

Did she change her attitude so directly?

It's fine to change your attitude, and it's fine to just say that you have changed your mind.

But this act of abruptly snatching it from her hand really made Her Royal Highness the Gothic princess feel a strong discomfort.

However, what made her even more distressed was that she couldn't just pick up the Howling Demon Sword and strike at it because of this crap.

Because at this moment, her reason still has the upper hand.

Because of this, she realized that now is definitely not the time for a head-on conflict.

It's not that she is not confident in her own strength, but that there is really no need to fight. After all, the so-called gods have too many methods.

But even so, it doesn't mean that she will swallow the breath from the bottom of her heart.

Because Dietrich felt that she never owed these gods.

Now that she has made her stand clear, even if no excessive conflicts will break out, she doesn't need to put on a good face towards the goddess.

"As expected of a god..."

Finally, Dietrich spoke.

Under the influence of the dissatisfaction and suppressed anger in her heart, her voice gradually became eccentric.

"Just grab what you want, and never care about the opinions and ideas of the person involved. It seems that human beings are just dispensable playthings for you."

At the moment when the voice of the Gothic princess came, the Storm Goddess subconsciously squeezed the parchment in her hand.

At this moment, although her eyes still stayed on the runes depicted on the parchment, her heart sank gradually.

"To you, everyone is the same. The Siegmunds are just dolls to play with! Of course, I'm afraid I am too."

"Gu..."

Years ago, when she met a certain warrior again, the words from his mouth began to linger in her mind.

Even though a long time had passed, those words remained in her mind.

Can't forget no matter what...

Even at this moment, storms and electric arcs flickered around Slude.

This is not a good sign.

At least at this moment, Dietrich gradually felt a little uneasy.

Without thinking too much, she took a step back a little.

At the same time, she also tightly grasped the Howling Demon Sword in her hand.

She has seen the uncertainty of the god's temperament before, and more importantly, the so-called divine power is very different from magic.

The so-called magic is, after all, the 'form' in which mortal creatures who do not control divine power use supernatural power, just like people who do not have sharp claws like monsters but use sharp swords to fight.

But 'divine power' is not something foreign. In terms of the form of expression, the electric arc triggered by the Storm Goddess because of her emotional ups and downs is like her instinct, a completely subconscious behavior.

And this kind of power also exists in the giant group...

Although she is not her best friend Zebul, she has met those friends of Zebul, and one of them, a giantess who loves hunting and lives in the snow-capped mountains, left a deep impression on her.

At that time, the giant warrior Ike, who is now dead, was pursuing Zebul tirelessly, and several visits even interrupted their original plan to go out for fun.

It was at that time that Skadi once lost his temper.

Of course she is different from Slude...

As the goddess of storms, Slude shone with the power inherited from her father and mother, but when Skadi was angry, a frost storm would naturally form around her.

Moreover, unlike the obvious 'supernatural' traces on Dietrich's body, their anger seemed to have always been linked to natural changes, whether it was Blizzard or Thunder, these could not be traced to any traces of magic.

Naturally, there is no countermeasure other than frontal block or dodge.

Moreover, the oppressive power of the gods is of course different from those of other Valkyries.

In the past, Skadi just felt that the travel plan of his group was interrupted, so he felt unhappy.

But Slude is, on the surface, even more terrifying.

Dietrich even felt that the storm mixed with thunder would hit her directly in the next moment.

But in the end, the arc dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, Dietrich saw a confusing scene.

The Valkyrie still held her long-handled lightning hammer in one hand, but pressed the parchment to her chest with the other.

It's like protecting a precious treasure, preventing it from being hurt by storms and lightning.

is it necessary?

Her performance like this...

Until this time, Dietrich suddenly realized an important thing.

Speaking of which, it seems that the Valkyrie who was born in the protoss and Hodder seem to have had a friendship.

And it shouldn't be an ordinary friend?

"Speaking of... I've always been curious."

Just as the flashing lightning on Slude's body gradually dissipated, Dietrich couldn't suppress her curiosity all at once.

"You seem to know Hodder?"

she asked.

Compared with the previous words that were full of sarcasm and yin and yang, her question was very ordinary, and it was just out of pure curiosity.

However, the Storm Goddess didn't answer this question right away.

She was still just staring at the runes depicted on the parchment, her thumb lightly groping for the beautiful rune writing and a series of interpretations and notes beside it.

Slude doesn't seem to be able to answer this question...

But just when Dietrich was thinking this, a voice came from her ear.

"Well, I know, it used to be..."

what is this else?

On this point, Slude himself could not answer at all.

She didn't even know why she spoke.

Unable to answer, she finally shook her head.

At this moment, the goddess raised her head again, and she looked directly at the princess holding the magic sword.

"At that time, he was just a young man who dared to come out to take risks alone... At that time, he was always looking at everything around him with curious eyes. Although he was courageous, he was easy to encounter danger. There was no sense of awe or excitement in meeting the Valkyries."

Gently stroking the beautiful handwriting, the goddess took a deep breath.

"He comes from a small village in the Netherlands, and he has no one to rely on, so he has nothing to worry about... But for him, the most attractive thing is the whole world. He is full of everything in this world." curious."

There is no idea of ​​success or fame, and no utilitarian idea.

"He just wants to travel the whole world."

This is the mentality of the pure adventurer...

And still uphold the state of high-spirited fighting spirit.

"It's hard to imagine..." Her Royal Highness said in a low voice.

Chapter 78: The Promise of the Past

Is it hard to imagine?

Just when Dietrich was unconsciously feeling something, Slude's thoughts couldn't help but diverge.

That figure gradually emerged in her mind, and finally it was fixed as the back of the evil dragon.

"Indeed, it's hard to imagine."

Why is it hard to imagine?

Anyone who has seen the sage who is always calm and elusive will get the answer to this aspect.

Because he took everything on himself, he almost didn't have the shadow that Slude saw when he first saw him.

A pure, unaffected adventurer.

"In the past, he didn't have so many ideas, and he didn't even see the wisdom of the so-called 'sage'." The goddess said.

Although Slude didn't look at Her Royal Highness at this moment, facing her surprised gaze, she still told what she knew about the past.

It's hard to imagine, right?

She would actually say these things to a woman who had just met, and even caused her strong discomfort, anxiety, and even various negative emotions.

But the truth is, she did say so.

And the reason is precisely because she is not familiar with her.

For Slude, the Goddess of Storms, some words are too familiar, so there is no way to say them.

Because in God's Domain, in front of her mother, she once cried a lot because of the quarrel with Loki.

It was also at that time that she cried and told her mother that she must... no, she had already made a choice.

But is this kind of thing really that simple?

of course not.

Because reality has never been a game, and there is no such thing as choosing a major option and entering a certain route.

For Slude, the so-called choice does not mean that he can completely let go.

Whether it is for gods or humans, the so-called life and the so-called life are like this. Every choice is a torture and test of the heart.

She chose the 'Asir' which is more important to her, which is normal, because she grew up here.

In Asgard, the realm of the gods, she spent her childhood and squandered her privileges as a child.

Daughter of the God of Thunder...

This is an identity that she can't get rid of all her life.

However, does this conflict with her inability to let go of that man?

No, isn't it?

It's one thing to be able to make a choice, but quite another to feel the pain in your heart after making a choice.

Although it has only been a few decades since we met, for a god, this may be the years it takes to feel bored and sleep.

But Slude felt that he had left all his youth there.

Because in getting along with him, even she is growing rapidly.

From an ordinary Valkyrie who is no different from others, she has grown into the current Valkyrie leader.

Because of this, she is not so easy to forget directly.

On the one hand, she has no way to let go of these directly, so she can only use a lot of work to numb herself, and better fulfill her obligations and responsibilities as the leader of the Valkyrie.

And as a daughter, she also felt unable to share with those she knew.

To put it bluntly, as a daughter, she doesn't want her father and mother to worry, and she doesn't want people around her to look at her differently.

That's why she's standing here now, casually talking about the past with a stranger she just met.

It's not about sharing...

For Slude at least, it's definitely not about sharing stories from the past.

Because what she said was extremely brief, it is actually very difficult to get a glimpse of the past from these words.

As far as she is concerned, she just wants to seek a little solace from this kind of "telling" to vent her pressure.

"He is actually very keen on adventures. He said that he will go to many places, the dark kingdom of the dwarves, the glorious kingdom of the elves, and the two oldest worlds."

Niflheim, a world of ice and snow, is definitely not suitable for ordinary life to live in.
