You and me under the world tree

"You can be regarded as open and aboveboard exposed to the sight of the gods."

In the end, after adjusting his emotions a little, Hodder coughed lightly twice.

At this moment, the fleeting complexity has long since disappeared from his face.

There was a subtle smile on his face.

"That's it, none of them came to look for you. Should I say...you are not as important as you thought?"

"..."

Hela couldn't help curling her lips.

Although she didn't know why, she always felt that Hodder's words sounded a bit irritating.

"It's not me again, it's Brunhilde."

After slightly correcting Hodder's words, the smile that appeared on her fair face also revealed a lingering irony.

"Speaking of which, how desperate that child was at the beginning means how much she valued her friends, but now it seems that no one cares."

Then, she paused for a moment.

"But to be honest, although the gods have no intention of accepting me into the realm of the gods, or even contacting me, they seem to be monitoring my movements."

"Surveillance?"

"Well, I can vaguely feel that something is watching me."

Hela clearly distinguishes the seriousness from the seriousness.

When talking about this aspect, she gradually restrained the mockery on her face.

And vaguely, Hodder could feel the discontent she showed.

"This kind of thing, to be honest, ruins the mood."

Because she noticed that someone was watching her movements from somewhere.

So she has to take into account the current situation.

And naturally you will lose the mind of free play.

"It's just surveillance."

In this regard, Hodder did not continue to pursue anything.

It's just monitoring from the gods.

This kind of stuff isn't really that big of a deal.

Because to some extent, human beings can always live under the sight of gods.

"Since they don't make contact, it's fine if they give up such an opportunity."

"Hmm~"

"So what are you going to do next?"

At this moment, the corners of Hela's mouth that were still raised suddenly became stiff again.

Her expression suddenly became cloudy and uncertain, and she fell silent.

Because she understood what Hodder was asking.

"Jortunheim, I will definitely go to this place once." Hodder said.

"Um……"

Hearing the words in her ears, Hela couldn't help messing up her hair completely.

Unknowingly, a touch of irritability emerged in her heart.

"But before that, I want to ask for your opinion again. If you plan to stay in Midgard, I will make an extra arrangement. The gods may contact you during this time. When the time comes It’s probably up to you to play it yourself.”

"Ok, I know."

"But if you plan to follow us to Jotunheim, we can also..."

"Wait a moment."

Hela said in a low voice.

She interrupted Hodder.

"Let me think about this matter again."

Then, she left.

There was no other means, she just opened her legs.

Brush shoulders with Hodder in the most unadorned, human way possible.

Standing at the end of the sage, Hela took a deep breath.

"Sorry, give me a little more time, I just... don't know what to do."

"Well, it's okay, we still have a lot of time."

The queen receded, and Hodder just stared out of the window.

He seemed to be peeping at a corner of the city from a window, but he seemed to be staring at the sky.

Two more.

Chapter 11: The road ahead is not smooth

In fact, looking at it from another angle, Hela, who couldn't make such a choice too late, actually avoided this problem.

Even though it couldn't be avoided no matter what, she still couldn't make that seemingly simple choice.

However, this kind of thing is also understandable.

Because Jotunheim has a special meaning to her.

There is the country of giants.

And from her father, the giants of Jotunheim are naturally her compatriots.

But obviously, Hella doesn't really care about the so-called compatriots.

Whether it is inferred from an objective and rational point of view, or guessed based on the feeling in the process of getting along, Hodder will have such conclusions and opinions.

After all, it comes down to one thing: she was only a child when she was exiled.

According to her, when she was born, the gods had already developed ill will towards her and her two older brothers.

And when she was very young, she was thrown into the Netherworld.

She had never been to Jotunheim, the kingdom of giants, much less lived there.

So naturally, she has no sense of belonging to that land.

However, that doesn't mean she doesn't care.

Because apart from the giants she was not familiar with, there were also giants who were related to her by blood in that land.

The giants Farbouti and Laufey.

They are Loki's parents, and in terms of blood, they are Hela's grandfather and grandmother.

It is precisely because of this that Hella feels 'contradictory'.

The word family is too far away for her.

In the past, for Hela, the only people who could be called family members were her imprisoned elder brother and her father with complicated feelings.

Hela knew very well that her father had complicated feelings for her, and on the contrary, she basically didn't show much closeness to the god of tricks.

dear...

This kind of thing is like a flower in a mirror or a moon in water to the mature but childish, cruel but naive Queen of the Nether.

Clearly aware of its existence, it even seems within reach.

But it's too far away.

And because of this distance, there is that kind of contradiction deep in her heart.

Because she yearns for it.

Yearning but feeling panic at the same time.

Because she had no idea what Fabuti and Laufey would think of her.

Thinking of this, Hodder couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Because he himself felt a little strange.

Because in terms of the final result, Loki hid his three children separately, which essentially means that he has no way out.

But why didn't he send his children to Jotunheim?

Speaking of which, what is the relationship between the god of tricks and his parents?

This is still a mystery.

If possible, with Hodder's prudent mind, he would definitely need to test this point repeatedly before finally confirming it.

Therefore, even if Hela decides to go to Jotunheim in the end, it is impossible for her to recognize her grandparents immediately.

And more importantly, if Fabuti and the others had a bad attitude, then things would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Hodder couldn't help but frowned.

Because in a vague way, he had such a premonition.

This time things might not end so easily.

In the kingdom of giants, what kind of things are waiting for you in that strange land?

"call."

Tapping on the wooden steps, Hodder slowly walked down from the second floor.

In the living room, Hela just raised her head.

Although with her perception, she should have heard Hodder's footsteps.

It is definitely impossible to say that he is completely unaware of his approach.

However, she has not moved.

Didn't even bother to look back and be wary of anything.

"It's getting late, I'm going out to do some shopping."

"Ah... um."

I don't know if I realized what Hodder was talking about, but Hela just responded like this.

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

"I...whatever."

Originally, she should have been quite interested in food in the human world.

Because the dead don't need to eat, and her memory of food mostly stays when she was young.

Even, that memory was wiped out along with the life of the Nether Queen.

Therefore, she actually pays special attention to food.

But recently, things have been different.

"That's up to me to decide."
