You and me under the world tree

Facing his eccentric words, Hela couldn't help shaking her head.

"I didn't mean that, it was just..."

"I think it's fine here."

Before Hella finished speaking, Dietrich suddenly interjected.

At least in this regard, she is still willing to help Hodder a little.

However, it was this attitude that made Her Majesty scratch her head.

"I didn't mean that, it was..."

"Okay, okay, needless to say, in any case, this is the most suitable place. With the protection of multiple barriers, ordinary people will never notice the situation here. As for wizards... they can only notice it when they get close. An anomaly here."

At this moment, Huo De raised his head, and his slightly cloudy eyes directly cast towards the sky.

"People who are curious will not notice the abnormality, but those who notice the abnormality are well aware of the situation here, and they will never get close."

For this, Howard is still very confident.

"After all, this is the interior of the City of Wrath of Sky."

At this moment, Dietrich naturally accepted Hodder's words.

"This is also one of the cities with the largest traffic in the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands..."

"It is the city with the largest number of people, because this is the center of the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands. Whether it is a newly built abandoned city or the Amstel harbor, it is worse than this."

Amstel Harbor is a seaport city established decades ago to bypass Denmark, the northern gateway, and open up trade with other kingdoms in the northern peninsula.

Facts have proved that this is very effective. With the rise of commerce, the harbor of Amstel and the Helder Fortress in the Netherlands have become the ocean gates of the Netherlands.

As for the abandoned city.

It was the gathering place of the northern wind pirates who used to fight in the northern seas. Although Siegfried intentionally or unintentionally stuffed many people from other regions into it, the essence of the place remained unchanged.

Today, the abandoned city on the banks of the Rhine is also an important city and line of defense in the Netherlands. It forms an indestructible iron triangle with Amstel Harbor and the city of Skywrath on the plain.

If Amstel is the ocean gate to the far north, then the abandoned city is the gate to Denmark and Gothic.

In addition, coupled with the built military fortress, no matter which city has problems first, the legions stationed in other regions can be the first to rush to help.

This is enough to illustrate the importance of those two cities.

But even so, those two cities are far less prosperous than Skywrath King City.

As for the reason...

"That's right, after all, this is the center of the kingdom's politics and power, and also the residence of 'heroes'."

For this point, Dietrich has a deep understanding.

In Midgard, there are only three things that can easily attract people: power, fame and wealth.

The latter two are equally important, but the temptation of the former must be the greatest.

This is why in the past, Dietrich could not guarantee that the power in her hands would be out of the control of her father, because she knew that many people around her invested in her status as a 'prince' of.

This is the importance of power.

In the eyes of those people, Dietrich Dietermarsen will definitely be the next king of Goth, and as long as they invest enough in her, their status will rise accordingly.

Most of the relationships in the court are maintained by this status, and there are very few real so-called robes and brotherhood.

Because even a brother may choose to seek rebellion for the sake of power, or even kill his elder brother who has been protecting him with his own hands.

But Siegfried is different from her back then. From the very beginning, he has held everything in his own hands.

In terms of wealth, on the one hand, he controls the "treasure of Ganita Heide" obtained by slaying the dragon, and on the other hand, he controls the inheritance left by his parents.

The start-up funds saved by the sage have smoothed out too many twists and turns for him.

As for fame and power, let alone:

The story of the return of the last descendant and his ascension to the throne is so resounding that it even lingers throughout Midgard, and more importantly, as the Lord of Armies of the Netherlands, he has always controlled the vital military power. There is no scatter.

Throughout the Netherlands, he and his court were the embodiment of the power of the entire kingdom.

power, hero.

As long as he is here, Skywrath City will always be the most prosperous place.

"Countless young people dream of joining the king's Skywrath Guards, and countless merchants are willing to spend a lot of money to open shops in the city."

As far as today is concerned, the entire city of Skywrath has almost all the most important things in the Netherlands in its hands, and it is a central city in the true sense.

There is nothing more important than it.

"In short, those high-ranking guys must definitely be concerned about the existence of the public."

At the end, Dietrich couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of frustration.

Originally, she was still helping Huo De to speak, but later, her interest was not so high, so her voice gradually became lower and lower.

"No matter what, they dare not do anything in this city. After all, they are not ready to completely become the enemy."

Facing their chorus, Hela only felt extremely complicated.

Not because of anything else, because she always felt that what they said was not the same thing.

"Are you doing an opera here? That's not what I meant."

"Not what does that mean?"

"You are..."

Seeing Huo De's proud expression that was half a smile, Hela felt a little annoyed for no reason.

Although she usually doesn't speak well, but this time she really didn't intend to make a joke. As a result, the two guys in front of her directly joined forces to fight.

What's this called?

With Hela's personality, she was never used to finding problems on herself, so she naturally threw the problems on the couple in front of her.

"I'm just curious. The environment here seems to have a familiar atmosphere."

Since then, Hela rolled her eyes and said these words.

That's what she was trying to say earlier.

But before that, she didn't want to say anything more, it was just a few words of emotion.

Because that's how it feels intuitively to her.

The architectural pattern of the human world will give her a novel feeling, but this is the only one that is different.

She didn't think about it at all before, but now she was forced to rush, so she started to smash the cans.

"How should I put it? It may be my illusion. I don't think you designed this house and this courtyard alone?"

Immediately afterwards, her eyes began to turn around the men and women in front of her, as if she was expecting something to happen.

"Did you really live here alone before?"

"one person……"

Although there was a moment of hesitation and silence, he finally gave this answer.

"You have also seen that there are no servants or maids here. I have always been used to living alone."

"Really?"

"Now this house was built by that kid Siegfried. It's meaningless for you to discuss these things here. In short, except for the surrounding walls, these have nothing to do with me."

Chapter 15: No Force

Everything here actually has nothing to do with him.

Huo De directly threw out such a sentence, and this sentence can be called a killer, directly ending the possible topic.

Not because of anything else, because what he said is also true.

It's not that this city has never been occupied, and the Hengding clan obviously won't protect the relics belonging to the "Volsung clan", not to mention that on the battlefield, the "old sage" in their eyes even once They can't get off the stage.

If the king of the gods hadn't personally acted, and some other gods had secretly contributed to the flames, the Hengding family would have never been able to accomplish the feat of smashing the legend.

Legney of the Hendines.

He himself is narrow-minded, let alone protect the heritage of Volsung, he will not set up any special cultural relics protection area, nor will he set up any memorial hall.

For him, of course, it was just smashing and looting, taking everything he could, and storing it all in his private treasury.

So, everything here is smashed, completely pulled down and started again.

Although Huo De didn't know exactly what happened, but when he came back here again, everything here was in ruins, and all the souvenirs and decorations disappeared.

And after that, he didn't care about it anymore.

Even now, a place to live is enough.

For the current Hodder, the palace of the new Volsung family is quite good, and he can often lie down and take a nap under the Barnstock, the tree of children.

That was a very pleasant thing.

As for here...

"In fact, at that time, that kid Siegfried didn't tell me about this, and he secretly repaired the house. In his opinion, this is one of the few things he can do for me... It's okay to keep it now. It’s good, at least you don’t have to take the risk to go to the manor outside the city.”

There is nothing wrong with this, because with their sensitive identities, the environment inside the city is obviously more suitable for them than the beautiful but actually extremely remote suburbs.

After all, it is indeed the safest place.

And under the shroud of magic, there will be absolutely no one to disturb.

Even the gods couldn't perform miracles in this city at will, after all, they had already 'acknowledged' the ruler here, and Siegfried's reputation was at its peak.

But even so, Dietrich still felt something was wrong.

The problem lies with the man.

"Hodder," she called.

"Ok?"

At this moment, the sage had already reached the door of the house.

He turned his head calmly, and there seemed to be a hint of doubt on his face.

"Don't stand there stupidly. There are stables in the courtyard, where you can park your carriage and so on. In addition, feed should be always on hand. Even if you don't have it, you can buy it."

Having said that, Howard laughed.

"Also, don't you want to take a look at your room? Although it shouldn't be as magnificent as the palace, it should have everything you need for daily necessities."

Then, he just walked into the room, leaving only the two women outside looking at each other.

Everything is peaceful, without any abnormalities.

But Dietrich always felt a little strange, because she always felt as if he was avoiding some kind of topic.

Not to mention what kind of weight that topic has in his heart, but it is obvious that he himself is absolutely unwilling to talk about this so-called topic.

"Well, it's really tricky."

Just as Dietrich was staring at the open door, Hela's voice came from her ear.

"There must be a story in this house."

"No."

Just after Hela felt that she should have unearthed some secret stories, Dietrich's response came from her ear.

"Eh?"

"Just like Hodder said, this room has been rebuilt, and no secrets can be found inside."

"you……"

Looking at Dietrich's complicated expression, Hela obviously wanted to say something else, but at this moment, she just saw Dietrich shaking her head.

"Everyone has a past. If he doesn't want to talk about it, it's better not to delve into it. You should at least understand this, right?"

"Ah."

I don't know if I listened to it, but at this moment, Hela did indeed nodded.
