You and me under the world tree

Chapter 27: Dangerous Woman

Siegfried's vocabulary is somewhat impoverished, and that hasn't changed much from the beginning.

Even though he has traveled the entire Midgard and turned all the rigid knowledge in his mind into growth experience, his vocabulary has never improved.

It can only be said that it is a matter of character.

It is difficult for an impulsive, straightforward young man like him to hold onto an accurate description.

And with his slightly poor vocabulary, sometimes it can cause all kinds of misunderstandings.

Just like before, if there were only the first half of the sentence, most people would even think that Siegfried, a fool, was showing off his womanhood.

After all, 'hot' is not a word to complain about.

Fortunately, his biggest problem is just a lack of vocabulary, and he himself understands this, so instead of using that confusing description, he described his feelings more straightforwardly.

"What's in the bag?"

"Yes, I have the feeling that she is nothing like the other admirers."

"Admiration and admiration, this kind of emotion is very far away, because what they admire is not necessarily you."

"I know this. The man they admire is the perfect king in their imagination."

Having said that, Siegfried couldn't help but sigh.

Of course he understood that.

The citizens of the entire Netherlands continued to praise him, and this kind of praise invisibly raised his image, becoming an idol higher than the human group.

Handsome, dashing, powerful, gentle.

That's the folklore, and those commoners don't really know Siegfried. They don't know the pressure Siegfried bears, and they only worship him who is glamorous on the surface.

"For ordinary people, the king they admire is like a sun that always emits light and heat. They only need to bathe in the sun to feel extremely happy, but it is absolutely impossible to get close to it."

"Um……"

"Because of the kind of looking up from the bottom up, they have already placed you in an unattainable position in their hearts, and they will not have any idea of ​​​​approaching you in their hearts. Even those school-age girls will never approach you. Because in their eyes, you are an unattainable dream."

"Correct."

Although as the person concerned, Siegfried felt that these words sounded weird.

But Huode didn't say anything wrong after all, so he could only nod his head stiffly.

"But Krimhild she..."

"Krimhild is a woman who obviously has huge desires. She wants to get close to you and take you as her own."

Before Siegfried finished speaking, Huo De slowly completed the following words.

"It doesn't seem like a big deal, because she just revealed the deepest thoughts of every girl who admires you."

"what……?"

Originally, Siegfried felt that his uncle should be able to see something from Krimhild's performance.

But at this moment, he somehow felt something was wrong.

"she……"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

Looking at Siegfried scratching his head involuntarily, Hodder couldn't help but sighed.

Speaking of which, everyone in the Volsung family is like this. It seems that except for Helji, who is naturally intelligent and agile, everyone else has a simple mind.

They don't like and can't think about things that are too complicated, so it is easy to leave hidden dangers in some aspects.

But at the same time, they are not pure iron Hanhan.

At least, they have an extraordinary intuition. Before something happens, they will have a premonition. This premonition is a kind of introduction for them, allowing them to detect danger in advance.

Just like Siegfried is doing now.

Hodder could see that Siegfried didn't notice anything unusual from Krimhild, but it just felt inexplicably wrong.

Because of the subconscious feeling of discomfort and dislike of that woman, he began to feel irritable, and then this happened.

But to be honest, if no one helps him sort out his thoughts in this regard, something big may happen in the future, because it is purely luck.

"call……"

After carefully going through the things Siegfried described in his mind, Hodder quickly sorted out the sentences that could be narrated.

"However, there are things that don't make sense in any way."

"Ok?"

"Girls generally admire you and have that kind of little love for you, which is normal, because you are the king of the Netherlands, and in a sense, you are also the one who saved them, but Ke Rimhild's possessiveness without distance... think about it carefully, but there is no reason."

"Ah."

I don't know if I understood Hodder's words.

At this moment, Siegfried just nodded.

But Hodder doesn't care about these, because he will tell the truth about this aspect.

"Generally speaking, when you haven't really met yourself, all the beautiful fantasies in your heart have a sense of distance, and this sense of distance can make it easier for people to recognize reality, even if Krimhild Princess of Burgundy, but she never knew you."

"Correct."

"That's probably why you don't feel right."

"Ah."

After Hodder sorted out the thoughts in his mind, Siegfried suddenly felt his vision broaden.

Before, his head was like a paste, and he didn't know what to do.

But now, he felt that his thoughts were very clear.

"Under normal circumstances, normal women should not behave like this."

"Yes, she acted as if she had decided on you. If she insisted that she fell in love with you because of your various legendary experiences, this kind of thing would be ridiculous."

"Um……"

Perhaps, for ordinary young people, they may still have fantasies about things like 'love at first sight'.

But Siegfried is different. After all, he was taught by Huo De, so from the very beginning, he abandoned that messy and unrealistic cognition.

"Love at first sight or something, this kind of thing only exists in the romantic stories of bards."

"Then think about it carefully, what was her attitude towards you at the beginning?"

What was Krimhild's attitude at the beginning?

Under Hodder's guidance, things related to Krimhild gradually emerged in Siegfried's memory.

If you have to say it, the first official meeting between them should be at a banquet.

At that time, Krimhild sent a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Kingdom of Burgundy.

"Crystal bottle, gold-rimmed rose, sapphire..."

he said in a low voice.

"At that time, she gave me the crystal bottle decoration with gold-rimmed roses, and under the cold light, she showed a... unique charm."

"Like a shining crystal under the moon."

"right……"

At this moment, Siegfried couldn't help feeling a bit of embarrassment, because he once again realized how lacking he was in language.

"In short, at that time, her eyes seemed to be shining, as if it hadn't changed much from now."

"That is to say, did she want to take you as her own when she saw you for the first time?"

"It should be said that she is more enthusiastic than that time."

"That's a dangerous woman."

Finally, Howard spoke.

Chapter 28: The Man Has Arrived

"Dangerous."

Siegfried began to chew the word subconsciously.

And then, his brows could not help but wrinkle.

"she……"

"Did you think of something strange?"

"Ok?"

Under Huo De's sudden question, Siegfried was even more confused.

In a moment of confusion in his brain, he finally even shook his head.

"I don't think she's very strong, she's just like that." He said, "I've observed her steps carefully, and although it looks like she should have practiced some martial arts, it should be the most basic courses, such as ordinary Swordsmanship and unarmed self-defense."

At this moment, he didn't even notice Hodder's increasingly subtle expression, but continued following his so-called conclusion.

"Combined with the recent situation of the Kingdom of Burgundy, it has actually been relatively stable there. Even though border frictions with the Sword of the Gothic Kingdom have continued, it has not reached the point where it is necessary to let members of the royal family lead the expedition."

"It is impossible to go to war. The old king of Burgundy, that is, the old man Jibixi is very shrewd. He can't let his children fight unprepared battles."

"Well, in short, the Kingdom of Burgundy has not had any large-scale wars for decades. The last time they mobilized large-scale troops to go out seems to be..."

At this moment, Siegfried suddenly paused for a moment.

He raised his head and stared at his uncle.

Then, he smiled.

"It seems that it was nearly 60 years ago, almost 70 years ago?"

"Ah."

Facing Siegfried's words, Hodder nodded slowly.

"At that time, my father had just established the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and because of his too strong style, coupled with the hindrance of the retreating Hengding family, it could be regarded as the enemy of the whole world."

"It has nothing to do with style or anything. To put it bluntly, it's just that your father was too impatient. He was anxious to restore his father's kingdom and bring his father and brother back here, so he couldn't wait to announce it after occupying the City of Wrath of Sky' The establishment of the Volsung clan', that kind of situation is actually very dangerous."

"Uncle doesn't like that situation."

Siegfried said casually.

Without waiting for Hodduo to answer, he sighed.

"I can also see this. Uncle, you prefer to play steadily and steadily, gradually expanding your own advantages through various strategies, and finally relying on unstoppable power to determine the outcome with one strike."

Siegfried has a deep understanding of this point, because his kingdom was built in this way.

Whether it is military strength or public opinion, he stands firmly on the commanding heights.

From the beginning to the end, there were no theoretical variables in this war—except for the deliberate intervention of the gods. Although this matter was bad, it was indeed uncontrollable. No one could be blamed for this, nor could the strategy itself be said to be bad.

"Your father and your eldest brother sometimes don't listen to persuasion when they are in charge, that's why a series of things happened later."

"Ah, this kind of thing..."

As for what happened later, Siegfried also knew.

Because that's the real battle for fame of 'Sage Hodder'.

After the human god of war Siegmund and the natural berserker Simfiotley led the expedition, Hodder sat alone in the unstable Netherlands and led the army to meet the army gathered by the prosperous Burgundy kingdom.

He didn't rely too much on magic, and directly used his army and the vast territory of the Netherlands to start the tug-of-war.

In the end, all the troops of the Kingdom of Burgundy were dragged to death in the territory of the Netherlands, and the old king of Burgundy, who is the grandfather of the current King Gunter, was so angry and finally depressed. And finally.

"But to be honest, this is not important at all. The important thing is the matter of Krimhild."

"Ah, um."
