You and me under the world tree

Isn't this nonsense.

In the end, he still didn't want to admit that he had lost a complete defeat. This is the self-esteem that everyone has.

But what about the reality?

The reality is that that man never took his opponent seriously.

I can even walk slowly in front of myself and say to myself 'you have tried your best'.

This is definitely an insult to a king, but Gunter has to swallow this bitter fruit.

After realizing this, Gunter never said anything again.

In the empty palace, the two looked at each other.

Finally, the warrior in the armor of the evil dragon planted the flag in his hand on the ground.

'clang'

Accompanied by the tooth-piercing sound of destruction, Gunter clearly saw the ground of his palace being violently penetrated.

And with that seemingly incomparably heavy strength, that flag even fluttered in the wind in this palace.

For a moment, Gunter suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

Not because of anything else, because that flag is the flag of the Fog Demon.

The flag had a black background, and on it were golden, intertwined battle hammers and battle axes.

In fact, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was also the first to use the nickname of the dwarves as the name of the legion, and there was only one reason: Hagen.

The Fog Demon Legion was once led by Hagen, and what this legion inherited was his title of 'Son of the Fog Demon'.

Seeing that little guy's flag uprightly planted in the palace of the Burgundian Kingdom, Gunter suddenly felt a strong sense of irony.

"Don't mind, for some reason, our young palace minister of the Netherlands couldn't reach Burgundy... Think about it carefully, he probably won't be free to come here, so I sent this flag to show his identity .”

Although Hagen himself never arrived in the Kingdom of Burgundy, and he didn't even have the classic "Don't bully the young and poor", the legion that symbolized his starting point in the Netherlands has already arrived here.

"Is all this his revenge?"

"Yes or no, it doesn't matter now, Your Majesty Gunther."

The sage didn't answer directly, but from his calm words, Gunter felt that he seemed to have discovered something.

Therefore, his breathing subconsciously became rapid, and even his face became extremely pale.

"It's you……"

he whispered.

"It's you!!!"

'bass'

He directly pulled out the sword beside the throne, and there was a monstrous anger in his tired eyes.

"You did it!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In fact, from the moment the war broke out, the sage who never intervened in court affairs came out and led the army himself, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong with this matter.

But at that time, the two legions of the Netherlands had completely entered as the vanguard.

Coupled with the fact that the man personally beheaded his brother and sacrificed the flag, he didn't think about this matter any more, and focused on the defensive battle.

However, this does not mean that he has given up thinking about this aspect.

That kind of anxiety and discomfort has actually been lingering in his heart.

But now, Gunther felt that he had figured everything out.

Speaking of which, the reason why they thought Hagen was planning all this was because they always knew that the man had a grudge against them.

That little guy from a remote place like Trondheim had no sense of belonging to the Burgundian court from the very beginning.

Although he concealed it very well in order to survive and continue to receive the education of the royal family, even when he left the palace and parted with them, he did not show any abnormalities.

However, when he arrived in the Netherlands, was appreciated by Siegfried and soared into the sky with his talents, his hostility to the Burgundian royal family was unreservedly displayed.

He is so conspicuous...

From the beginning when Siegfried was going out to find the treasure of the evil dragon, Geernott, who was trying to get a share of the pie, was rejected.

Oh, theoretically speaking, this should not be regarded as a 'closed door', because Hagen, as the palace minister, still received him in accordance with the specifications for receiving foreign envoys, but he refused all of Geernot's requests, and even showed it in person. The sarcasm attitude of yin and yang.

Because his hostility was so obvious, even the entire court of the Burgundy Kingdom knew that the illegitimate children in the court were not against the royal family.

He even moved his mother's tomb from the kingdom, and created a magnificent mausoleum that met the specifications on another hill in the Netherlands.

This clearly means to separate the relationship with the Kingdom of Burgundy.

Because his series of actions were too high-profile, and some time ago, Krimhild's letter sent back also mentioned his sarcastic attitude.

Therefore, at the beginning of the incident, they all regarded Hagen as the mastermind behind the scenes.

No matter from what standpoint, all they could think of was this man.

Because only he has reason to hate the royal family of Burgundy, and only he has a real conflict with the Burgundian kingdom.

Krimhild mentioned that Hagen doesn't like her, so he definitely doesn't want to see the person he hates become the queen of the Netherlands.

And once the Kingdom of Burgundy gets on the line with Siegfried, it means that Hagen's efforts all the time will be in vain.

This is impossible for him to accept.

Based on this, the subsequent series of speculations are reasonable.

Hagen didn't want his efforts to come to naught, and he didn't want Krimhild to step on him, so he planned all this, and even in the end, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to wipe out the entire Burgundy Kingdom.

The attitude of the deputy minister may even make people wonder if he intends to kill the Lord of Armies who has been kind to him next time, and take over the position.

Many people really think so, even Gunter himself.

However, when they were thinking about these messy things, they forgot a person who was outside the court.

The sage of the Volsung clan...

Although his sense of presence is not low in theory, but in the recent period, his name has really rarely appeared.

Even if he himself appeared at the banquet, no one noticed his existence.

Deliberate omission?

No, it's not.

In the final analysis, it was because Hagen acted too arrogantly, and Siegfried was the master of the Kingdom of the Netherlands today.

The sage who was famous for a while and has his own poetry has gradually become the foil of the hero of the new era.

But now, these small clues finally connected into a straight line in Gunter, and the arrow of this line directly pointed to the man in front of him.

"It's you……"

As for why it wasn't really confirmed until now, it's because of the attitude he showed before.

His nonchalant attitude made Gunther understand this.

But if you think about it carefully, you should be able to figure it out.

The sage of the Volsong family is also a powerful wizard, and he has counted countless kingdoms and won countless victories on the battlefield.

Even if Hagen really wanted to assassinate Siegfried, how could it be possible to hide this from him?

At this moment, although Gunter still didn't understand the role played by that man in Hagen in this incident, he understood that the sage in front of him must know the truth.

He not only knew, but let it go.

"Why..." he asked.

Facing Gunter's trembling question, the sage didn't change his face.

In His Majesty's eyes, he seemed to see the evil dragon warrior raised his head slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the voice from under the helmet made his heart tremble.

"Does it make sense to ask that question?"

Does it make sense?

The sage's question lingered in Gunter's mind.

Does it make sense?

Doesn't make sense?

At this moment, he suddenly felt that his head was a little confused. Obviously, the answer seemed very simple, and it was on his lips, but he just couldn't say it.

"Although I don't know what you are thinking of, but there is a shadow of the Kingdom of Denmark. The people who ambushed your sister are the remnants of the Hengding family. They hide in the crowd and were bought by the Kingdom of Denmark. That's it."

"The remnants of the Hengding clan..."

After hearing this from the mouth of the sage, Gunter's sinister face suddenly showed a hint of mania.

"You deliberately let them exist..."

He didn't know whether what the sage said was a lie or the truth, but this was certain.

If a sage is lying, he is looking for a reason.

And if what the sage said is indeed true, then it is obvious that he deliberately let the small unstable forces in the kingdom go.

and so……

"why."

"There is no reason, for profit, Your Majesty the King."

'click'

In the end, the sage's calm words pierced deeply into his heart like a needle.

The pain emanating from the bottom of his heart shattered the last remaining rationality in his mind.

"Hodd!!!!!! War!!!!!!"

He roared the word 'hod', and his whole body turned into a ferocious beast.

But before he took a few steps closer, the evil dragon warrior in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he only felt a pain in his abdomen.

"Your father gave you a chance to live, so don't be ignorant of good and evil."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Inside the empty palace, the young His Majesty the King lay quietly on the ground.

Although there were no messy scars on his body, he also lost his sanity.

And in the conference hall with the throne, the evil dragon warrior who was alone was looking around.

He stared at the furnishings of the Burgundy palace, but he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment or satisfaction in his heart.

However, this is not to say that he does not have any inner fluctuations.

There must be ideas, but this kind of idea is not much different from eating and drinking water.

Oh, you can have a roast tonight.

Oh, the Kingdom of Burgundy fell today.

To him, there seems to be no big difference between the two, and the reason is very simple, because this is just the first step.

It was too far away from what he wanted.

Thinking of this, the sage couldn't help but lower his head. He stared at the king who had already been knocked unconscious, then slowly bent over and squatted down.

Then, he took a little care of Gunther's hair, so that His Majesty the King who was lying on the ground looked less embarrassed.

But if you think about it carefully, since he has been knocked out and is even lying on the ground now, theoretically speaking, he should have no self-esteem at all.

So what if you are embarrassed?

Thinking of this, Hodder couldn't help shaking his head.
