You and me under the world tree

"Ok?"

At this moment, he turned around and happened to meet Helvey's eyes.

"What did you say?"

Chapter 73: Once upon a time

Location: Northern Peninsula, Wolf Valley

Compared with Burgundy and Gothic, which has gradually turned to mild weather, the northern peninsula is still wrapped in cold winds.

Although it will be spring soon, for the northern peninsula, it is estimated that it will take another two months to really touch the warm climate.

Wolf Valley is no exception.

The reason why Wolf Valley is called 'Wolf Valley' is because the terrain itself is dangerous and not suitable for walking at all.

Although there are several mines here, they are basically built outside.

As for the interior, it's not that no one has gone in.

In fact, now in the court of the Kingdom of Gitland, there is a detailed map of the kingdom's interior, including the Valley of the Wolf.

However, because the terrain is dangerous and it is not suitable for others to enter and exit on a large scale, this side has not been developed.

And more importantly, there are a large number of wolves walking inside, and the howling of wolves can be heard every day.

Hence the name Wolf Valley.

Because usually no one would go to this dangerous valley, so no one knew that there was actually a place that was like a paradise in the depths of this valley of wolves.

And this place is called Wolf Lake.

It is located in the depths of Wolf Valley, and you need to go through a cave to get there.

The environment here is quite different from the outside.

The terrain of Wolf Valley is dangerous, but the terrain here tends to be gentle.

On the mountain wall, there are runes flashing, forming a protective barrier that blocks sight and any perception.

They wouldn't even be able to spot Wolf Lake if viewed from the outside, or even from the sky.

And under this invisible barrier, the calm lake water is connected to the external river, and small fish swim in the lake water.

It's not a big place in terms of scale, but it's more than enough if you want to put down a few houses and build a family estate.

And in fact it is.

Just on the edge of Wolf Lake, several simple big houses stand there.

One is a vegetable greenhouse, in which various fruits, vegetables and other grains are grown.

Although the output is not too much, it is obviously more than enough to supply a family.

The other is a workshop that includes a series of complete equipment such as anvils and furnaces.

Its gate is engraved with red hammers and tongs, symbolizing the supreme craftsmanship of craftsmen.

The rest of the houses contain various workshops, and there are some tame herbivores wandering outside.

This is the hermitage of the legendary elf blacksmith Wieland.

Countless people want to find the legendary elven blacksmith, because he is the only known craftsman who has inherited the craft of dwarf blacksmithing so far.

However, none of those people found the blacksmith's hideaway.

Of course, they would not know that the blacksmith who once inadvertently stirred up the situation in the northern peninsula and even changed the war pattern of the kingdom by himself finally lived in seclusion in the wolf valley where he had always lived.

Nor would they know that the blacksmith they were looking for had been wounded decades ago - Nidadr, the former King of Gitland, picked him off in his weakness The tendons in his hands and hamstrings were poured into him with a special poison, which made it difficult for him to hold his own hammer easily in his whole life.

But now, he hardly does any forging work.

But today, this man just stayed alone in a small room next to the living room.

There is a magic circle that is used for teleportation magic, and he holds a rune stone in his hand.

However, the rune stone was shattered, as if it had been crushed by a sword blade.

The elf blacksmith is proficient in magic. The rainbow rune stone he gave to his child can not only be used for teleportation, but it also has another small function.

That is the connection with you on a magical level with this rune stone in front of him.

This is a very simple magic.

To put it simply, the problems on the rainbow rune stone will be fed back to this rune stone in Wieland's hand.

And now, it's broken.

This only seems to mean one thing, and that is that something is wrong with the Rainbow Stone.

When the child was out, Wieland had asked him to take good care of the rainbow rune stone that could guide him home.

The magic cast on it will take him straight home.

But now it is broken, and the wound on the stone is extremely sharp, it looks as if it has been chopped into pieces.

Even Wieland could tell that this was a section that could only be cut by the Excalibur he gave to his child.

In other words, it was his child who shattered the Rainbow Runestone himself.

But why would that kid do that?

For a while, Wieland began to feel restless.

In the end, he subconsciously began to rub the ring he was wearing.

Under the illumination of magic, a name engraved on the ring is extremely conspicuous: Hervor.

…………

On the other side, outside the eastern defense line, Wittig really began to pay attention to the Valkyrie who had been deliberately ignored by him before.

"You know my father?"

"Ah."

Facing Wittig's straightforward question, Helvey nodded slowly.

"So I……"

Having said that, the Valkyrie couldn't help but lengthen her tone.

She didn't even know what to say.

But before she could say anything more, she saw the man carefully scrutinizing her attire.

"I haven't heard the old man say that he actually knows the Valkyrie."

"He...I haven't talked to him after all."

"What's your relationship with him?"

It may be that Wittig's question seems too straightforward, but the Valkyrie seems a little lacking in confidence.

She wondered if she should tell the child about it.

but……

"We... used to be very close, but separated because of some things."

After all, she still couldn't speak more bluntly, but mentioned these things obliquely in front of Wittig.

However, what she didn't expect was that after hearing this, Wittig's expression suddenly changed.

But at this moment, because Helvey lowered her head, she didn't notice this.

"Is he... okay?"

"He has a good life and is very affectionate with my mother, so you don't need to worry about it."

Wittig's voice became cold just like that.

There is even a hint of sarcasm.

"It's just that, probably thanks to you, my father can no longer pick up his beloved hammer and tool pliers with his own hands."

"..."

After hearing what Wittig said, Helvey's expression suddenly turned pale.

For a moment, even Wittig couldn't tell whether she was guilty or just didn't know.

"There once was a blacksmith hidden in the mountains and forests. He felt that his wife was lost, and even thought that she would come back one day, so he waited by the house day and night. Unfortunately, it was not his former wife who found the home. , but a cruel king."

Wittig said so coldly.

Two updates_(:з」∠)_

There are two versions of this story, an elf version and a dwarf version.

The elf version is more beautiful, and the dwarf version is a bit ruined, because the character of the dwarves in Northern Europe is there.

More reference here is the sprite version.

Because Wieland in my article adopts the setting of elf blood.

Chapter 74: The Showdown Begins

Wittig once heard a story when he was very young.

The story is about his father.

Speaking of it, this is because he was unwilling to learn his father's blacksmith knowledge when he was a child, and he heard it when he was preached by his mother:

Once upon a time, there was a young blacksmith of elf blood who lived in the dangerous but beautiful Wolf Valley.

He meets a beautiful young girl, and accepts her into his secret home unsuspectingly.

They lived together for a long time.

Later, the elf's wife disappeared while they were out hunting together.

This terrified the young elf for a long time.

He had gone out several times and wandered in the valley of wolves, because he felt that his wife might have gotten lost in the valley of wolves.

But after all, I still haven't found it.

He knew that with his wife's agility, it was impossible to die at the hands of those carnivorous animals.

The only answer is that his wife got lost outside, maybe in order to find the way, she left Wolf Valley first to replenish supplies.

Although this statement is outrageous, the blacksmith himself used this argument to convince himself.

He felt that his lover and wife would definitely come home, so he waited hard alone.

Even while waiting, he imitated the gold ring that symbolized the love between the two to create a string of ring necklaces.

One a day, a total of more than 700 pieces.

But in the end, it was the army of the local king who found his supposedly hidden family.

This made the blacksmith feel unbelievable, because his home was well hidden, and outsiders could not enter without specific tools or guidelines.

But later, the king took out a golden ring.
