You and me under the world tree

…………

The last paragraph changed me for a long time, I don’t know how to express [scratching head]

That's it anyway.

good night everybody.

As for why Jibixi committed suicide, I personally think it is quite reasonable. It has been paved the way for a long time before.

If you don’t understand it well, I will explain it later, so don’t spray [打手]

_(:з」∠)_

I'm so sleepy, the tinnitus is a bit serious recently, I guess I need to go to the hospital.

Chapter 86: Persistence

The sunset faded away, and the sun goddess Sur left work, and then her brother, the moon god Mani, took her place and galloped on the sky lane.

Compared with the blazing and warm sunshine, the moonlight reveals the coldness.

Generally speaking, the moonlight at night always reveals a quiet beauty.

And when it shines on the noisy streets of the city, it will not cause anyone to panic, but will completely relax and calm.

The hotness of the sun means that humans should work, while the coolness of the moon means that people should rest.

In the traditional culture of Midgard, the culture of the sun and the moon is so simple and rude.

However, the human heart is always delicate.

Depending on the state of mind, the tranquility of the moonlight can bring reassuring tranquility, but it can also make people feel lonely and cold.

And now, Huo De has such an idea in his heart.

And with those messy thoughts, Huo De rarely thought about anything, just picked up the bottle and poured himself a drink.

It wasn't until he drank the fruit wine in the bottle that other people's voices came from his ears.

"ended?"

Facing the cold moonlight, the white-haired princess walked down the stairs.

"Um……"

Looking back and seeing that Dietrich had already walked in front of his eyes, Hodder nodded.

"It's over, Jibixi wants to buy peace for his children."

"What is it for?"

"Ok?"

"I don't understand why Jibishi committed suicide."

Looking at the old king who had fallen into a deep sleep and would never wake up again, Dietrich asked.

"Also, it's useless for him to commit suicide. If I want to, I can even forcibly drag his soul back."

Before Hodder could respond, Hela's voice came from upstairs.

After all, almost two months have passed, and Hela at this moment is not just sitting on the flying carpet like she was at the beginning.

After finding the feeling of strength in her legs, she can start to learn to walk slowly just like a baby.

Moreover, her learning progress is not slow. Although she may still be shaky when walking independently, she can already easily lean on the fence.

It's not that all the weight of the body is pressed on the fence, but it is really caressing the fence like an ordinary person.

"So, what are you going to do? Just let him 'die'?"

Her majesty the ghostly queen asked just like that.

"According to the usual procedure, his soul will arrive at the extreme north, and take at least nine days and nine nights to reach the entrance of Helheim, and during this process, he may even be taken away by the gods."

Hella was implying an obvious thing.

However, for Hodder, this is not a cruel thing.

After careful calculation, this seems to be what he should do.

After all, this kind of thing must be done absolutely.

If you don't do it, maybe there will be some new moths in the future.

but……

"It doesn't matter if he dies or not."

After a moment of silence, Hodder spoke.

He glanced at Jibixi first, then raised his head and stared at Hela.

"Just let it be. You'd better play the role of Brunhilde well. Don't meddle in this aspect, so as not to attract unnecessary attention."

"Huh? This is nothing to me~."

Staring at the man in black robe, Hela's mouth subconsciously raised a perfect arc.

At this moment, the queen's body leaned forward, and she pressed her entire upper body against the fence.

"You really don't have to think about it?"

"Death is death, and it means the end of humanity."

"..."

After hearing Hodder's words, Hela had nothing to say for a while.

She even narrowed her eyes.

"You... seriously?"

Then, the two looked at each other.

From top to bottom, Hela could see Hodder's expression clearly through the moonlight.

Solemn, helpless, and even a little sad...?

At this moment, Her Majesty even felt that she was wrong.

Because it seemed to her that it was simply incomprehensible.

"You should understand that death is never the end. The reason why human beings feel that simple death is an eternal separation is because they have no ability to touch the things beyond the dividing line of 'death', but you are different."

Yeah, Hodder is not the same.

He is a wizard, he is proficient in magic.

Even if he can't bring others back to life, let alone counter the rules of the world set by the gods, he should be able to understand this aspect.

"I see."

He lowered his head.

And seeing the human sage bowing his head, Hela didn't know why, but suddenly felt a little angry in his heart.

Not because of anything else, because she subconsciously felt the lingering sense of distance.

It's as if getting along for nearly two months can't change anything.

"I'm not asking you to bow your head in this regard, Hodder..."

Finally, Hella spoke.

She seemed to have made it obvious.

This is not bowing his head or begging for mercy at all, as long as he opens his mouth.

As the Queen of the Nether, it was impossible for Hela to lower her posture.

but……

"It's not a question of bowing your head or not."

Finally, Huo De raised his head, and he stared at Hela.

"It's just that it's meaningless to crush Jibishi to ashes, or even crush his soul, so as not to let the gods find out anything. Even if the gods find out that he is dead, it will be impossible to snatch him from the land of the extreme north." It's none of my business because he doesn't know much and I've always followed this 'rule'."

"What rules?"

"Rules for humans."

"What human rules..."

After hearing Hodder's endless words, Hela couldn't help laughing.

She was laughed out of anger.

To be honest, from the beginning to the present, she has never felt so angry.

"What are you holding on to?"

"I wasn't holding on to anything, and Gibesh won me in the end, that's it."

"you……"

Watching Hodder's expression, Hela opened her mouth slightly.

She wanted to continue to say something—maybe it was to argue, or maybe she just wanted to scold her.

But in the end, she couldn't say anything.

"Forget it, I don't care about you! I'm going to bed."

She said.

Then, she just left.

One step at a time.

However, she didn't go far.

"Call me when dinner is done."

Her almost anticlimactic attitude can't help but make people feel embarrassed.

But Hodder and Dietrich could only look at each other at this moment.

"Don't mind."

Facing Hodder's slightly subtle gaze, Dietrich spoke first.

"She's just a little... childish, like she thought she could help a little bit in this area, but was rejected."

"I know, it's like a child who wants to help with chores on a whim and gets turned away by his parents."

Then, the two remained silent.

"What are you going to do next?" she asked.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I did this?"

"No need to ask, I can probably understand."

Some things only humans can understand after all.

Maybe it was a moment of soft-heartedness.

Maybe because I want to prove something, I have been adhering to human rules and codes, even cultural traditions.

There are many reasons, but what matters is that this choice is made.

Want to ask what is the driving force?

This kind of thing is difficult to explain clearly, because there is almost no pure motivation, it is nothing more than the superposition of wishes and thoughts, and more depends on a certain feeling at the moment.

"Anyway, I've done what I can."

Staring at Jibixi, Hodder said.

"This is an opportunity you fought for. If they don't cherish it, then they can't blame me."
