You and me under the world tree

However, when he touched the limit in this area, what he felt was a strong sense of powerlessness.

Because it's very different from the Gothic coup of yore.

When the struggle broke out in the Gothic court, he still had power left.

Because whether facing Sivka, who set off a coup, or Wittig, who rebelled because of reputation issues, he has spare power.

After all, the reason why he has confidence is because he can 'resist'.

Even in the face of Wittig, who once stabilized his ranking, he still has the strength to fight.

But now?

It is different from Sifka, who is under the banner of a god, and Wittig, who is pursuing fame.

Etzel of Hungary possesses strength far beyond that of ordinary men, and even in single combat he loses.

Thinking of this, Studus even felt a dull pain in the wound on his chest.

Obviously the wound has healed.

But now he can still feel the pain from that time.

I still lost in the end.

Studus is also a warrior, he naturally cares about reputation and victory.

However, for now, the so-called fame, victory and defeat are only part of the mountain called 'pressure'.

The most important thing is what kind of attitudes and tendencies those high-ranking guys hold.

If, from their point of view, it was a mistake to block Hungary and Etzel, then what about the Highness whom they were loyal to?

Thinking of this, Studus' expression became gloomy.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of unwillingness in his heart.

Why?

It was such a sense of humiliation that emerged from the depths of his heart.

Why should the Chosen One be able to do whatever he wants, and why should he suffer such a curse when he blocked the progress of Hungary on the conventional battlefield?

He is not afraid of death.

Ever since he chose this path, he knew he had to overcome his deepest fears to move forward.

If he really lost due to lack of strategy or personal ability, he would never complain.

Even, when Etzel started killing all directions, if at that time, he chose to kill him directly, then he would not have any panic.

However, what he suffered was such a humiliating treatment.

"You are high above, so you can do whatever you want."

He couldn't help biting his lip.

"them……"

Suddenly, Studus only felt a certain figure flashed in his mind.

"Have you provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked?"

"Some things, you can brew up whatever you want to say."

Maybe it's because I'm sober.

Studus' brain suddenly realized something very important.

However, because the man acted too mysteriously, the sense of alienation created by this sense of mystery made him dare not give any trust easily.

So at this moment, he couldn't help turning his head back.

There, the small manor where the sage lived stood quietly in the corner.

This is a corner of Skywrath King City.

But obviously in the vast royal city, there is a sense of independence and loneliness.

Just like the way that man behaved.

Although he has a very high status in the court, he never seems to be involved in any court affairs.

But what, exactly, did those words he said mean?

Are there shadows of gods in his past experiences?

A wise man once fooled by the gods.

"You seem to have confused him."

On the other side, in the manor where the sage lived, a woman who lived here often spoke.

On the surface it is Brunhilde, but in essence it is Hela, Queen of the Underworld.

But at this moment, the woman was just quietly leaning against the bed.

From top to bottom, she could just see the scenery outside the window.

Moreover, she also saw the warrior who hadn't disappeared from sight.

"His footsteps looked a little hesitant, and I guess he had a mess in his head when he went out."

"It's just a paste, it's not easy for me to give too much guidance anyway."

After hearing his words, Hela couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, a subtle feeling appeared in her heart.

"Is there any difference?"

"Yes, because now it is the answer he thinks about, not the result I directly guided. The former is far more credible than the latter."

"what……"

Hearing this, Hila's delicate expression gradually turned into a smile.

But such a smile can't help but make people feel chills.

"The more I get along with you, the more I realize something."

"what?"

"You are very cunning."

"uh-huh?"

"Trying to leave no trace, trying to stay out of it, but trying to control the situation."

Just like this time.

"I don't deny that."

Facing Hela's subtle smile, Huo De calmly responded.

"It's you."

"uh-huh?"

"are you ready?"

Then, Hela's expression changed slightly.

"Well, everything is... normal."

she said.

"But who told them not to come to me?"

The second night _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 10: Let me think about it

Before, Hella had a period of 'free' time.

To be precise, this period of freedom began when Hodder left the Netherlands for Denmark to secretly help Dietrich.

Because Huo De didn't restrict his freedom, during this period of time, she had a strong autonomy.

This is of course on purpose.

And according to the original plan, if there were no other messy accidents, the gods or the Valkyries should come to contact 'Brünnhilde' during this time.

Because no matter what kind of conspiracy there is behind the scenes, at least on the surface, the Valkyrie Brunhilde is still the captive of the sage Hord.

Although at the beginning, there is no accurate explanation for the chaos that occurred on the Xindal Peak until now.

But it is undeniable that, at least in the eyes of most people, Brunhilde was indeed blackmailed.

For until now Hodder had held the object dear to the poor Valkyrie.

According to legend, the "relic" of Ingwi, a warrior of the Irfin tribe, has always been under his control, so Brunhilde can only be placed under house arrest by him like a captive.

And this is the signal that Hodder conveyed.

If the gods have this idea, they can take advantage of the time when Hodder is away to break those useless shackles and take her away.

And if you have doubts and doubts in this regard, you should at least find a way to get in touch with this former Valkyrie.

In theory, it should be right.

But later, something happened that completely ruined the original framework and idea.

Wars, plagues, court struggles.

All kinds of open and covert struggles that apparently obeyed Midgard's default rules delayed this matter indefinitely.

Even in the end, even Huo De himself had some doubts about whether it would be possible.

"Didn't they come to see you?"

"Well, I haven't come to look for it. I haven't been nesting here for a while. I've been running around."

At this moment, Hela snapped her fingers and began to count her limited experiences during this period.

But obviously, it is impossible for her to run too far, so there is a high probability that she will walk around in the Skywrath King City, or even outside the King City.

"Some of the surrounding towns are quite beautiful, and the market in Wangcheng also sells a lot of things."

But even so, Howard could detect the joy radiating from her inside and outside.

When she said these most common things, her eyebrows were still twitching.

What to say?

Even the so-called cruel Queen of the Nether has such simple hobbies.

No.

It should be said that because she is the Queen of the Nether, she is interested in this kind of peaceful life belonging to the 'living'.

In the final analysis, it was because her life had never been peaceful.

When she was very young, all her power was sealed away, and she was thrown into the Netherland to fend for herself.

And after finally grasping the so-called glimmer of life, it is also insulated from the world of the living.

Thinking of this, Huo De couldn't help showing a trace of impatience.

No matter from what point of view, Hela's experience can only be described as pitiful.

However, this kind of pity that surged from the heart disappeared without a trace in the end.

It's not that Hodder is deliberately adjusting his emotions.

It's because things in this area are too complicated.

The source cannot be traced, and no one can stay out of it.
