You and me under the world tree

But now, he quietly listened to Hela's words.

What is worth mentioning is that this story about a certain Valkyrie is no different from the legend of heroes circulating in Midgard from the very beginning.

aka birth...

And what's interesting is that most of the hero stories circulated in the mortal world are related to gods.

Perhaps in the eyes of the poets, the so-called heroes should be different, even the children of the gods in the mortal world.

However, after all, Hela is not one of those poets who like to make fuss about the gods, and she doesn't like those high-ranking guys even more.

Especially the so-called king of gods...

Also because of this reason, in Hela's mouth, Odin seemed to be a scumbag who secretly slept with other people's wives and used hypnotic methods to attack underage girls.

As for this, Hodder has no opinion.

Anyway, in the modern age he lives in, this is indeed recorded in myths and legends.

Even if the words are beautified, it still cannot change this fact.

For example, Gripper's dead wife: the giant princess Gonglu, she was an ordinary giant girl, carefree all day long, but fell in love with her under Odin's rhetoric and various means.

She even conceived for him, but in the end she was too young to have children, and she learned that Odin had cheated on her and abandoned her during her pregnancy.

This made her vitally injured, which led to a series of things later.

It can be said that Odin played an inescapable role in the reason why the Icelandic princess Hilda lost her mother from birth.

And because he already knew about this aspect, Hodder wouldn't talk nonsense.

Even, I don't know if it was out of sympathy for the old king Gripal and his daughter Hilda.

When hearing Hela's ridicule and attack on Odin, Hodder was quite happy.

"That girl was born in such an environment. She had no father since she was a child. If her mother was not a princess of the Gothic Kingdom, her childhood would not have been easy."

Obviously, Hella has never had much experience in storytelling.

It was supposed to be a story about the growth of a Valkyrie, but Her Majesty the Queen spent a lot of time explaining something about a certain scumbag.

Didn't get to the point until now.

"The girl has shown extraordinary physical fitness since she was a child, and she has also shown extraordinary learning ability, and even made the grandfather king sigh her gender several times, but even so, the rumors circulating among the court are still Made her extremely sad.

The unmarried princess of the royal family directly conceived and gave birth to a child, which was a huge scandal in itself.

Even though the princess claimed that the child's father was the great King of the Gods, this fact was rarely believed, even if her daughter did display extraordinary powers.

In this environment, the girl's character did not become weak, but became stronger.

Soon, the time came to reverse the reputation. At that time, the Gothic Kingdom was at war. In order to prove that she was not a burden, the girl who had been well-educated by the royal family rode a horse, took up a weapon, and began to play on the battlefield. own potential. "

A matter of course.

As the daughter of the king of the gods, it is a joke that the girl in the story Hela told didn't show any special potential.

It's true that the old Odin is a scumbag, but his bloodline is naturally excellent.

Even the Volsung family with thin blood can show extraordinary courage and strength, not to mention the girl who exists as a daughter.

"I probably know what happened next."

Hearing this, Hodder said.

Taking advantage of the interruption, he quickly completed the rest of the content.

"It was also this war that made the gods aware of the existence of such a woman. After confirming her bloodline, they chose to absorb her into the organization of the Valkyrie... right?"

"uh-huh……"

Just when Huo De said that, there was a trace of unhappiness on Hella's face.

It looked like she wanted to finish the story herself.

But was interrupted by Howard.

And after catching Her Majesty's displeased expression, Hodder didn't continue talking.

At this time, instead, he confirmed that he had figured out Hela's performance.

She doesn't seem to be testing anything?

But really want to tell a story?

Just when Hodder felt a little subtle, Her Majesty's voice sounded in his ears again.

"Yes, as you said, it was indeed like this... However, she has not recovered her status as a god... To put it simply, she is indeed a member of Asa, but she has no divine power. Very different from Hermod."

"I think... it should be this strong girl who rejected the divine power?"

"Yes, she values ​​the work she is doing more than the divine power she is endowed with. She feels that the praise she has earned through her efforts is more important, so she has been performing the duties of the Valkyrie, and in the end, she has received extremely high praise. She is even about to become the leader of the next Valkyrie."

Hearing this, Hodder couldn't help but raise his brows.

"Isn't this a rumor?"

"It's not a rumor. In fact, Shikoti did recommend that girl before relinquishing her duties as a Valkyrie."

"But then?"

"Later Thor's daughter entered the ranks of the Valkyrie, and then she was sealed because of a small mistake."

Having said that, Hela suddenly laughed.

With Brunhilde's beautiful face, she smiled extremely badly.

"What do you think of the ending?"

Chapter 88: Deception?

At the end, Hela's emotions suddenly became high.

At the same time, the evil smile that gloated on her face could not help but make people feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, although Hodder knew very well that the body she was occupying now belonged to the Valkyrie Brunhilde, but this evil smile alone still reminded him of some evil guy.

Is it true that they are father and daughter?

Although Her Majesty the Queen who ruled the domain of death does not seem to have a good relationship with her father, no matter what, there are still similarities between her and her father.

Moreover, this similarity cannot be easily erased.

Even if there is no trace of similarity on the face, the demeanor is surprisingly consistent.

"Tsk..."

And after hearing Hela's incomparably harsh words, Huo De couldn't help frowning.

It's not because he personally hates Hela's expression.

In fact, he has always been indifferent to these things. As long as he can cooperate, he never cares about the character and attitude of the other party.

And the reason why he frowned was because he felt that there was something wrong with this so-called story.

"It shouldn't be like this..."

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but speak.

Even if it is not regarded as something that happened in reality, but as a short story that Hela casually told, it is not qualified.

Because there are too many problems in it, and they are too big.

"Actually, Ms. Hela, maybe you don't know that a story told to people needs logic more than absurd reality. This is what countless poets in Midgard are pursuing. .”

Howard said.

At this time, he was not in a hurry to correct anything, he just said some seemingly insignificant words.

"A good story needs a core theme, a plot with ups and downs, and an acceptable ending... These are all necessary elements for a story, so most poets are still keen to In order to expand some of the wonderful content and form one independent story after another."

"What do you want to say?"

"I just want to say that human beings still have very high requirements for stories. Although poets in different regions are also uneven in terms of level, it is impossible for most poets who can only make a living in small towns, What are the expectations of the narrator of the story, but Ms. Hela, you are really not a good narrator, and you are not a good creator."

Hearing this, Hela just narrowed her eyes.

At this moment, she could hear the irony in Hodder's words.

Moreover, although this kind of ridicule is not malicious, it is too reluctant to call it a compliment.

In fact, Hela felt that the human in front of her was taking revenge on her.

Because she could see that he was a pure efficiencyist.

In the exchange of information, he pays more attention to the amount of information contained in words.

"Ah, after all, it's the first time I'm telling a story, so there will always be deficiencies."

Finally, Hella spoke.

It looked like she had given up on something.

"It's quite difficult to tell a story or something."

"It's really difficult. After all, there must be a core idea, and the so-called core, a long time ago, people liked to listen to fictional legends with ups and downs, but now they prefer to pursue a sense of refreshment, even speed and efficiency. In order to pursue With this shortcut, quite a few poets have given up the final ending."

Having said that, Howard couldn't help laughing.

This kind of smile is not sarcasm, but just an inexplicable feeling.

"So to be honest, bards or something, maybe at the beginning, a considerable number of poets just wanted to sing about the heroic deeds that once existed, while later some people were more inclined to create stories, wanting to narrate the beautiful stories they imagined. .”

In the end, Howard sighed.

"But now... To put it bluntly, everyone is just trying to make a living, but it's a pity that this industry is too focused on talent, and they even have to be proficient in at least one musical instrument to accompany themselves."

Seeing that the man in armor seemed to start rambling, he seemed to have endless insights into the industry of 'bard'.

And just when he was about to continue talking, Hela finally stopped him in time.

And at this moment, she can be regarded as experiencing the feeling that Hodder had before.

Moreover, this feeling is to some extent deeper than Hodder.

"Okay, I know I have no talent."

Hella said.

Although it seemed a little exaggerated to Huo De, her expression did reveal a trace of grievance that belonged to her alone.

If she wasn't the Queen of Death, Hodder would even think of her as a girl chasing a bard's dream.

However, even though Hela looks so beautiful today, and the embarrassment and grievance she reveals are extremely touching to a certain extent, her identity is daunting after all.

Moreover, she herself completely ruined the girlish demeanor created by her appearance and small expressions.

Because in the end, there was that weird smile on her face that was no different from Loki.

"However, I'm not talking about a simple story. This is Brunhilde's past."

However, it may be because of being a woman, and Brunhilde's face actually reveals a hint of heroism.

Therefore, the irony is not as serious as Loki.

Even, rather than ridicule, Hella at this moment looks more like regretting something.

"I worked hard until the end, but found that I was nothing. Isn't that pitiful?"

Maybe she is sympathizing with Brunhilde's experience as a girl, and this kind of sympathy and dissatisfaction can easily resonate with ordinary people.

Well, the average person...

And Hodder just happened to be no ordinary person.

He is not the kind of fledgling adventurer anymore, he is not without empathy, but he can't use it indiscriminately.

Not to mention that until now, he has a vigilant mentality.

So at this moment, he shook his head.

"Is this really the case?"

"Ok?"

"I mean, it doesn't make sense to just look at this kind of thing, because the old thing is really bad, even cheap, and you can use the most filthy words to describe him...but you can't say he is stupid, because stupid The guy can't be a god king at all."
