You and me under the world tree

But in the end, she still sighed, and continued to speak:

"If the layout here makes you feel uncomfortable, I can help to improve it a little bit. I still have some experience in terms of aesthetics."

This is not a joke, it is a fact.

Although the person who built the entire god-given city of Bean was the demon Mehmet, this does not mean that the interior of the palace cannot be changed.

Although she is definitely not interested in modifying the decorations of the lord's seat and the front hall of the palace, the arrangements including the study and the rooms must have been touched.

And Huo De himself has seen that style, it is not gorgeous, but all kinds of carvings highlight her mentality at that time: glory.

This kind of honor is not something that ordinary people pursue.

To put it simply, she is proud of her identity, because she is the child of her father, so she pays special attention to her identity as a Gothic royal family, so there will be many decorations related to flying eagles and rams.

Moreover, these decorations are quite natural, and there is absolutely nothing particularly conspicuous at a glance.

However, the problem now is not a matter of 'aesthetics', but the layout of the environment here.

"You can do whatever you want, but I probably don't have much time today, so I will..."

"What! What are you discussing!"

Immediately afterwards, before Hodder could finish speaking, the voice of 'Miss Brunhilde' came from the door.

Following the sound, what caught their eyes was a conspicuous barrier rising from the sky.

Although it is true that Hela can only move her upper body, the magic can easily support her body without affecting her mobility at all.

"What were you talking about?"

"About the arrangement of this house."

Before Hodder spoke, Dietrich answered this in advance.

"Arrangement, let me try?"

"I don't think you need to worry about this kind of thing."

Seeing that there seemed to be another round of verbal confrontation between Dietrich and Hela, Hodder took two steps back a little.

"You can choose any room in this house, just don't mess around. I'm going out now."

Having said that, Hodder set his sights on the baby that Dietrich was holding.

Dieter Heil...

As the titular second Gothic prince, this child is currently only keeping his eyes open, and he doesn't know what he thinks of his sister who is of demon blood.

"I used magic to make two cribs in my room. If you don't want to hold him, you can put them in the shaker. It's not too late now. These two babies don't need to be fed. Other things can be done. Let's deal with it when I get back."

He said.

Then he turned around and left. On the way, a magical glow radiated from his body.

Accompanied by the flames of the evil dragon that seemed to be burning, he once again put on the dark armor of the evil dragon.

Immediately afterwards, the figure disappeared from the sight of the two women.

"Tsk..."

After seeing him leave completely, Dietrich felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Can't see, can't touch.

At the same time, it is completely unclear.

Because she herself didn't know what it was like.

"Forget it, there are more important things than these."

Immediately afterwards, her gaze shifted to Hela.

At the same time, the eyes of the great Nether Queen subconsciously began to wander.

"I'll take a look at the internal structure of this house first, I'm still quite interested."

Then, the barrier holding her was lifted up into the air, and went directly to the second floor.

And after seeing Hila's evasive behavior no different from that of a child, Dietrich suddenly laughed.

In an instant, the somewhat cold and disturbing atmosphere of silence was shattered and disappeared without a trace.

"You can't run away." Looking up at the corridor on the second floor, she said, "No matter what, you have to learn to walk again."

"But can't you press a little harder?"

"With little force, how can you feel that feeling?"

Having said that, Dietrich carried the child up to the second floor.

I don't know if it was intentional, but when she went upstairs, her footsteps were unexpectedly loud, and Hela's exaggerated and frightened voice came from the depths of the room on the second floor.

"Don't come here!!!!"

Although the sound was completely enveloped by the barrier around the house, the war horses in the courtyard could hear it clearly.

At this moment, the Nightmare Warhorse just raised its head. It glanced at the room spiritually, then lowered its head and went to eat the meat.

"Those guys... it shouldn't matter."

At the same time, Huo De, who had not gone far just now, had a bad feeling in his heart.

Chapter 19: Siegfried's Distress

For a moment, an impulse emerged from Hodder's originally gloomy heart.

He suddenly wanted to go straight back into the courtyard and see what the two women were doing.

Although based on what he knew about Dietrich, she shouldn't be the kind of woman who would turn tables in the house.

However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that she is not alone in deciding whether to flip the table or not, because she is not there alone.

If Dietrich was the only one, Hodder would not be worried at all, because she had always been that kind of reassuring woman.

But the point is, there's a big 'time bomb' out there right now.

In her absence, she didn't know whether Dietrich could control her.

For a moment, Huo De's thoughts diverged, and he couldn't help himself.

"Tsk, I really think too much."

But in the end, Hodder shook his head.

Thinking about it carefully, no matter how outrageous Hela's temperament is, or if she has ulterior motives, it's impossible for her to turn her face right now.

Because no matter what, she has irreconcilable conflicts with the gods, and now she has the same relationship with herself as an ally.

Before the so-called 'utility value' disappeared, she hadn't turned her face so easily.

However, Huo De is actually not very sure about this aspect, because he has no way to control the true inner thoughts of a woman who is acting out of character.

She is sometimes cold, sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes childish, and sometimes mature.

During nearly half a month of getting along, she showed all these diametrically opposite personalities.

And those performances easily completely shattered the cognition and image that had been built up with great difficulty.

By now, Howard found it difficult to see what she was thinking.

Is her flamboyant, childish, lonely child-craving for attention a reflection of what she really thinks, or is it an act of obfuscation?

No one knows this, and even Hodder cannot fully confirm it.

People's hearts are separated by belly, and such words are not casually said.

Even the most powerful wizard has no way to pry into the inner world of another strong man.

What's more, that is the queen of the netherworld, the strongest among the 'dead'.

Not only does she wield the 'end' that mortals and lesser beings fear, but she is a powerful wizard even despite the power she wields.

And it is completely different from the guy in the human world who only knows how to rub fireballs. Only those who have really embarked on this road and have a deep understanding of runes understand the meaning of the word 'wizard'.

That is the understanding of extraordinary power, and it is also the search for extraordinary power by the 'incompetent'.

Apart from other things, the most important thing for a wizard is to learn to protect his own spirit and will.

Whether it is memory or inner thoughts, these must be closed in all directions.

Although it is indeed ridiculous to say so, sometimes, in the Nine Realms, it is indeed these things that determine self-awareness.

Just like Ingwie still thinks that he is Sigurd, although his soul has long been fused with the sun and moon wolves, he has completely abandoned his body and attached himself to the armor.

But he will still do everything for the obsession of 'Sigurd', and even get lost in it for a while.

For wizards, spirit and will are so important, and no one would want others to pry into their inner world.

After all, not everyone can have a clear conscience.

Over time, spying on other people's hearts and spirits is naturally regarded as a kind of taboo.

Because snooping means suspicion, which cannot be explained by reasons such as 'curiosity'.

And a wizard like Hela must be strictly guarded against her spiritual world, and it is impossible to spy on the 'truth' in her heart without her knowing anything.

And once this kind of suspicion is spread on the surface, it will make the originally peaceful superficial covenant crumble.

Thinking of this, Hodder couldn't help but stop his steps.

At this moment, he was already standing on the stairs leading to the palace, and when he looked back, he could just see his mansion and courtyard.

But from the outside, there are no major problems inside.

Speaking of which, why should I doubt the Nether Queen?

Is it because of the deceit she originally wanted to hide her identity?

Or was her exaggerated performance so unreal that she thought she had always been covered with a thick shell?

neither……

Although these were all reasons, they played very little role. There was only one reason that really made the suspicion in his heart gradually take root.

To be precise, it's just because of the name.

Hela, Queen of the Nether Hela.

It would be fine if she was a mortal, the point was that she was a frost giant.

But to real mortals and weak creatures, she is just another 'god', a god who hates the Aesir.

Just like those giants in Jotunheim, no one knows their attitude towards mortals.

Assuming that the rule of the gods is really completely ended, what kind of attitude will they show to weak humans?

No, to be precise, he doesn't really care about the entire Midgard and human beings, he only cares about one thing.

At this moment, the man on the stairs turned his eyes away from his mansion, and turned directly to the farthest place.

There are gorgeous houses, clean streets and patrolling guards.

In the center is a tall tower, where the guards and sheriffs are stationed, and farther away is the noisy market in the outer city, where most adventurers, hotels, and taverns gather.

"call……"

After taking a deep breath, Hodder gradually withdrew his gaze. He turned his head, and his gaze turned to the magnificent Volsung Palace.

And above the stairs, a figure slowly appeared.

Chancellor Hagen...

At this time, he was wearing light clothes and looked as if he was in a hurry.

However, before he stepped down the steps, his hurried pace slowed down because he saw the man standing on the steps.

"Your Excellency the Sage."

When he saw the iconic evil dragon armor and cloak, a look of joy appeared on the face of the palace minister.

"You're here already?"

"Well, I want to talk to Siegfried about something."

"That's just right. In fact, His Majesty wants to discuss something with you."
