You and me under the world tree

"For example, in common sense, a flame must have a base of combustibles before it can burn blazingly, but as long as your father exerts his divine power, even a rootless 'wildfire' can burn for decades."

"Um……"

Hearing Hodder's metaphor, Hela nodded.

"However, there is also a source of divine power. My father became the 'God of Wildfire' after the establishment of the Asa Protoss, and my father never mastered this power."

"Your father?"

"I don't know how much you know about him, but his father...that is, my grandparents, one is the king of thunder giants in Jotunheim, and the other is a giant who symbolizes trees and nature. It is impossible to inherit the power of 'flame'."

"so he……"

"He killed a giant, devoured his soul, and naturally gained his power...but that was a long time ago."

"An ancient time when the world was not yet created? But I remember that there were only frost giants at that time."

"Yes, there are only frost giants. To be precise, there can only be frost giants. Even the king of the gods today can be called a 'frost giant'."

Then, Hela suddenly laughed.

In the light of the flickering fire, her smile seemed a little pervasive.

At least in Hodder's eyes, she doesn't look like a normal person, her smile reveals only gloom and terror.

"Do you understand it?"

"The so-called divine power, the so-called natural power comes from giants."

Howard said calmly.

And his attitude seemed too plain, for a moment, Hela, who was expecting him to show other expressions, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Can't you be a little surprised?"

"There is no need to be surprised. I have dealt with the gods. At least it proves that they are not omniscient and omnipotent. I also know that they must rely on magic. Now it's okay to know this."

Then the sage laughed.

"As for the so-called divine power, this kind of thing is not very important to us. I actually only care about one thing..."

"Ok?"

"In the era of chaos, the so-called symbolic meaning of life, if the ancestor of the giants symbolizes the indestructible natural force, and thus derived the current divine power, what about the ancestor of the gods?"

"?"

After hearing Hodder's words, Hela showed a strange expression instead.

"What do you want to say?"

"No, nothing."

Facing Hela's innocent and curious eyes, Huo De finally just shook his head.

"It's just some small thoughts in my heart."

"What little idea?"

"It's nothing, I substituting the bard's thinking unconsciously."

"what?"

The current Hella still has no way to understand the thoughts surging in Hodder's mind.

That actually belongs to the thinking of modern people.

Because in the eyes of modern people, the so-called myths and legends are linked to culture, and culture always places human thoughts on it.

For example, God...

For modern people, Thor is just a symbol of thunder, and Vidal is a symbol of forest.

And since the so-called "divine power" should originate from giants, Ymir, the ancestor of giants, should be the incarnation of natural power.

Thinking about this, it is not surprising that his body was finally shaped into the world tree Uktra Hill and seven additional worlds were derived.

So the question is, if you think about it from this angle, what is the legendary ancestor of the gods, Buli, and the flame giant Ymir from Muspelheim?

It's not that Hodder doesn't want to say it, but theoretically speaking, there will be no answers to these questions.

After all, this world is real, and it is impossible to expect everyone and every life to find a theoretical corresponding position.

At least until more evidence is found, Hodder would rather keep this doubt and speculation deep in his heart for the time being.

"Compared to these, let's analyze this bottle of potion and see how it works," Hodder said.

"So before you..."

"By the way, Hella, I suddenly remembered a question."

"Ok?"

"Can divine power affect the gods themselves?"

"what?"

At first, Hela was still in a daze.

But soon, she couldn't help but start looking around.

"Ah...it's not important! Compared with these, let's take a look at the function of this potion itself. Speaking of which, who made this potion?"

In front of Huo De, Hela picked up the potion on the table and looked at it, as if she suddenly discovered how beautiful it was.

Hela obviously started to change the subject, but no one cared about it anymore.

"Then start by analyzing the ingredients of the potion first?"

"Yes, I have a workshop here, you come with me."

Looks like I'm doomed to have no sleep tonight.

Chapter 59: Changing Public Opinion

Time passed quickly, not to mention that the City of Wrath was still a city with a lot of traffic.

For the people living in such a city, the daily news can be said to be changing with each passing day.

And the people always have such a habit: they always seem to care more about news from other kingdoms than what happens at home.

This is actually a subconscious habit and cognition engraved in the bones, because what is needed is novelty.

An interesting scandal related to His Majesty the King?

It's fine to chat casually about this kind of thing, no one will delve into it, and no one will seize this opportunity to mess around with "creation".

Today, Siegfried's reputation is at its peak, and most of the people believe in this king.

And because of this trust and the almost fanatical hero worship atmosphere, even if there are indeed people who want to make a living behind the scenes, they don't have the courage to go against the current.

Because not to mention whether the Skywrath Guards under Palace Chancellor Hagen would knock on the door to check the illegal construction, if the local residents heard that someone dared to slander their king, even if they didn't pick up a stool and smash it directly.

For the people, the so-called idols and rulers seem to be black and white, and Siegfried is obviously standing at the pinnacle.

Therefore, under the bombardment of interesting public opinions from various kingdoms, the carriage overturn incident that did not cause any major losses and no casualties just passed away.

It's not that no one is discussing it, but the heat is fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And even eventually, the whole thing started to take on a new look.

And after a month, almost no one mentioned such things as 'the arrogant and domineering princess deliberately caused casualties'.

Starting from the market area, new rumors began to spread.

"Speaking of which, I heard something from someone else, do you know?"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

At first, the man who bought fresh fruits and vegetables was still staring at the vegetables, but after hearing what the boss said, he couldn't help but raise his head.

"I heard that Danish spies have sneaked into our kingdom."

"what?"

Perhaps because of the unbelievable nature of this incident, the men seem to have forgotten their purpose.

At this moment, a look of astonishment could not help appearing on his plain face.

"spy?"

"Yes."

Looking at the expression of the man in front of him, the vegetable seller nodded slowly.

"This is what I heard. It is said that Danish spies tried to assassinate Her Royal Highness Princess of Burgundy in order to provoke disputes between the two countries."

"Then why would Denmark do this?"

"Hey, you don't know that."

As soon as he heard the man in front of him ask a question, a carefree and proud expression appeared on the face of the vegetable seller.

This is the little joy of civilians like them who are running around for their livelihood every day.

People are born with a sense of superiority.

Status, wealth, and fame, as long as there is something that others don't have, and there are such things as curiosity and envious eyes, then there is bound to be such a sense of satisfaction.

As far as the common people are concerned, they do not have a high status, and they do not have the wealth to buy properties at will.

In this case, they can only satisfy their hearts in this way.

No matter what, they always attract the attention of others.

"For the sake of your frequent visits to my shop, let me tell you why."

Having said that, the owner just took out a chair and sat down.

"Look, the situation in Denmark is not optimistic recently. They wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Gothic Kingdom, so they conspired with the Burgundian Kingdom to invade the Gothic territory."

Sitting on a chair, the vegetable seller spit all over the place.

"But then, the Kingdom of Burgundy withdrew its troops ahead of schedule, leaving behind the troops of Denmark and the Prince Regent's party, and these two armies were all defeated by the Gothic prince... Ah yes, now Her Royal Highness, in short, they were all attacked by the princess' army. Return."

If one ignores his clothes and the fatigue that cannot be ignored on his face, one would probably think that he is a courtier with a lot of insight in the court.

"Even now, the regent's army is struggling to deal with the onslaught of monsters in the east, and the dragon blood warrior Studus is even sending troops to the border, constantly oppressing Denmark's defense line."

Well, at least in style it did.

Although what he said are things that civilians can understand through regular channels.

And these things have been in the past for a while, so I can always find out if I have a little leisurely mind.

However, the shopkeeper didn't seem to be satisfied with just these things, so he waved his hands in a serious manner.

"Hey, come here, let me tell you, this is from the son of my friend's uncle's wife's nephew's grandfather's brother, who is doing business in Gitland."

Although the long list of relatives and friends made the man speechless for a while, and in this respect, his credibility was greatly reduced.

But in the end, the man still showed interest after frowning without leaving a trace.

"What happened to Gitland?"

That curious look naturally satisfied his inner sense of superiority.

Not to mention whether the credibility is true or not, but the other party's ecstasy did make him quite satisfied.

"Studas, the dragon blood warrior who is now serving Her Royal Highness the Gothic Princess, is the prince of Gitland after all, and the weapon master Hiltbrand who is now guarding the city of Beian instead of the Gothic Princess is also Gitland For this reason, there is a good relationship between the Kingdom of Gitland and the Kingdom of Gothic."

"Then you mean, the Kingdom of Gitland is preparing to attack Denmark?"

"I don't know about this, but it is said that they do have intentions in this regard, but it is only rumored... But the Kingdom of Denmark has definitely had a hard time recently, but the Kingdom of Burgundy is different. They sent the most beautiful princess in the kingdom , do you think the king of Burgundy will not have this consideration?"

"Is it a marriage alliance?"

"Yes, anyone with a discerning eye can see that."

At this moment, the vegetable seller stretched out his hand and patted the man's shoulder with a teachable expression.

"Our Kingdom of the Netherlands now has an indestructible alliance with the Gothic Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Gitland has a good trade with us. If we put troops on the border and put pressure on the Danish Kingdom, then that kingdom may explode on the spot. Already."

"But, that's not enough, is it?"

After hearing the boss's inscrutable expression, the man who bought the vegetables couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.
