You and me under the world tree

The sage wouldn't say directly: I guessed that there was something wrong with Brunhilde from the moment I saw the crystal necklace that sealed the soul.

Because that involved another secret, and that secret even related to the life and wealth of one of his friends.

Therefore, without any pause, he directly turned his words to the other side.

"I must remain vigilant, Your Majesty, after all, for me, as long as I take a wrong step, it means that there is no redemption."

Yes, if he takes one wrong step, he will usher in a disillusioned ending.

At that time, let alone revenge, even the people around him will be involved by him.

"When cooperating with your father, I also maintained a high degree of vigilance, for fear of being sold by him and regarded as an abandoned son."

"Ok?"

Originally, Hela's attention was still on Huo De's seemingly reasonable, but in fact, unreasonable remarks.

But then, her attention was completely attracted by what he said later.

This is also the 'arrangement' of the sage, but the 'inexperienced' queen stepped into this pit.

Not because of anything else, because that man is very important to her in a sense.

"You said... that man?" she said, "Have you seen him?"

Chapter 83: Seeking Equality

In fact, Hodder had a reason for throwing out Loki's name at this time.

Not because of anything else, because the woman in front of her is the queen of Helheim, the domain that rules the dead.

And her other identity is the younger sister of Fenrir, the giant wolf of the end, and Jormungandr, the giant python of the world, and the youngest of Loki's three children.

To put it bluntly, what he wanted to borrow was the relationship between parent and child to get close to the queen of death.

Now is not the time to erect enemies after all.No matter what kind of opinion he has on Hela, and whether he trusts her or not.

In short, at this time, it is always right to greet her with a smile.

However, to Hodder's surprise, Her Majesty Queen Hela's attitude was not as enthusiastic as he had imagined.

This kind of enthusiasm does not mean enthusiasm for him, but for the name that he said out of his mouth.

Her father: Loki, the god of trickery who symbolizes wildfire and has controlled flames for some reason since ancient times.

Originally, Huo De thought that after hearing this name, even if she would not be too enthusiastic, she should at least have a certain degree of trust in him.

Because their positions are actually the same.

It should have been like this.

But at this moment, Hela's expression was extremely subtle.

Moreover, the title she said made Hodder very concerned.

If he hadn't been completely sure that the woman in front of him was the queen who ruled the domain of death, he would even feel that he had guessed wrong, that the woman in front of him was someone else.

Because she doesn't treat her like a father, or even a trusted ally.

"I didn't expect that you actually communicated with that stupid man."

When mentioning the topic of the god of tricks, Hela's expression first became gloomy.

Immediately afterwards, a hint of understanding appeared on her face, followed by a touch of sarcasm.

"Ah, that's it. I'm just talking about why that man found me suddenly. It seems that everything is in his plan... It's really sinister."

In the end, these words were even filled with a strong sense of targeting.

"what……"

"But speaking of it, you seem to be very close to that man? He even told you this kind of thing."

Although he didn't expect Hela to have such an attitude, at this moment, Huo De could still understand what this woman was talking about.

At this moment, what she mentioned was nothing more than the issue of her bloodline and identity.

After all, as a 'hero' from Midgard, he has no reason or any channel to know about this matter.

Because Loki's three children have been exiled long ago, and mortals have no way to understand the life of the gods - let alone the older 'history'.

"So, may I consider you his spokesperson?"

Finally, with a language that was almost mocking, she asked.

Facing Her Majesty's high-pitched voice, Hodder finally just shook his head.

Although he didn't know what the relationship between Hela and Loki was like, he didn't mind stepping on the trend when Hela said so.

After all, to a certain extent, Loki can be considered to have caused him misery.

Although he still gave a tactical counterattack in the end, the man finally gave him a 'reasonable' identity in a sense.

But to say that Hodder is grateful to him or something for this is complete nonsense.

"Do you think a man like him would really choose a spokesperson?"

Moreover, he will not rush to meddle in other people's family affairs like some cannon fodder.

Even though Hela seemed to show such a distorted sense of boredom towards Loki, he would not trample on the god of tricks just to please Hela.

After all, no matter how you say it, the complicated relationship between Hela and Loki is a family matter no matter how you say it.

Without understanding, even if a person like Hodder has a common ground, he is still an outsider after all.

Therefore, he only expressed his cognition and feelings about the god of tricks.

"Whether you believe it or not, I am just a cooperative relationship with him... No, to be precise, it should be that he has been using me."

"Well, it's quite in line with his style."

Although at this moment, Hodder hasn't said what he does.

But Hela seems to have a very clear understanding of her father, and also knows his specific behavior style.

So she didn't question Hodder's words.

"So, did you follow his orders to come here?" Hela said

And when he heard the lazy Her Majesty the Queen say these words, Hodder didn't respond at the beginning.

Thus he remained silent.

At the same time, Hela probably also noticed the abnormality.

Perhaps because she was not wearing clothes, she was more sensitive to changes in Hodder's gaze.

And from bottom to top, she could see the subtlety and complexity in his cloudy eyes.

Even if he lowered his head, she could see it, because she was lying in front of him.

"Didn't you come here on purpose?" she asked.

"Things are a little bit worse than you think."

In order to get closer to the 'Queen of Death', Hodder did not deny his reason for coming here.

Anyway, whatever Hella can imagine, it would be the best if she could find a reasonable reason for him.

But more important than these is another thing.

"Loki has been exiled by the Protoss."

"what happened?"

After hearing what Huo De said, Hela finally put away her lazy expression.

Although she still didn't get up, the gloomy and cold temperament came to her face.

"It literally means that he has been exiled by the Protoss, because many things happened before, which is quite complicated."

"Then keep it short!"

I don't know what kind of position Hella is asking such a question.

In short, in Hodder's eyes, Her Majesty the Queen has shown her anxiety at this moment.

She has been the ruler of the realm of death, the underworld (helheim) that bears her name Hela, queen of the dead.

Although Huo De didn't know exactly what the order of the kingdom of death was like, Hela didn't look like a benevolent monarch either.

She may not be in charge, but she is on top.

Therefore, she naturally would not respect Hodder, let alone ask any kindly questions.

At this moment, some subtleties emerged in Hodder's heart, but in the end, he shook his head.

In the final analysis, Hela was also born as a god. Thinking about it carefully, how could she think highly of a 'mortal', not to mention that Huo De was just a pawn of Loki in her eyes.

"Loki wanted to use me to murder the God of Light before, but this matter was discovered, it's as simple as that."

Hodder didn't like Hella's tone and attitude.

He prefers 'equality', at least standing at the same height.

So, he added this sentence:

"In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that the weapon your father gave me was fake, then the God of Light would have died."

Chapter 84: Show off your muscles

As a mortal...at least a mortal hero in name, it is actually very difficult to gain the respect of those gods who are naturally superior.

Not to mention the Asa Protoss, even the giants who were also defeated by the Asa Protoss were the same.

Short lifespan, frail body...

In addition, the entire Midgard is a huge barracks of the Protoss, and the status of human beings is the lowest among the intelligent creatures in the entire Nine Realms.

The giant who is also a defeated one has been gearing up, waiting for the arrival of the legendary twilight doom.

As for the king of the dwarves...

No matter how the dwarves are treated in Midgard, they have their own country and world after all.

Underworld Walter Alheim...

Legend has it that the underground kingdom ruled by the dwarf king Iverdi and his children belongs entirely to the dwarves.

In their world, the dwarves use various means to decorate the originally extremely dark underground world, even in the human world, the long-destroyed western mountain kingdom of Gurnita Hyde shows only dwarves. Just the tip of the aesthetic iceberg.

These unremarkable little guys have always been famous craftsmen.

What's more, although they are attached to the gods in name, the dwarf world has been operating independently.

They often give some handicrafts to the gods, which is one thing, but the gods, including Odin, have no way to directly issue any orders to them.

At most, it is to prepare their own materials, or even provide them with rare metals from the God's Domain to obtain the 'products' created by the exquisite skills that the gods are difficult to learn no matter what.

Although the dwarves are afraid of light, this group has won the respect of the gods by virtue of their skills and specialties.

Of course, how watery this respect is is another matter entirely, but at least on the surface, the gods will not want to directly tear themselves apart with this small group of people.

King Iverdi and his children were even suppliers of some important weapons.

As for the elves...

This light-loving and dark-repelling race, which seems to be inherently opposed to the dwarves, has always been a loyal vassal of the gods.

Moreover, because they do not live underground, but live in the glorious kingdom of elves: Elfheim, the Aesir control them more directly.

Instead of commanding them as slaves, he sent them an eternal king—the king of gods.

The 'King of the Elves' is the legendary god of abundance, Frey.

Regardless of Frey's own attitude towards the Asa Protoss, even if he is of one mind with the Asa Protoss, his existence as the king of the elves will inevitably guarantee the interests of the elves.

Not to mention the reclusive Vanir Protoss, no matter what, they are all gods.

In terms of status, human beings are the lowest, there is no doubt about it.

Whether it is bragging about the glory of heroes or belittling the shamelessness of dwarves, this cannot change the fact that human beings are extremely low.

Perhaps human beings themselves have not awakened a basic 'racial consciousness'.
