You and me under the world tree

The dwarf king's laughter was extremely bold.

"As for the reason why I came here, it was just to test some small things. Speaking of which, these ideas were provided by Hodder."

"test……?"

For a moment, Siegfried's eyes couldn't help showing a dull look.

Because he felt that he didn't understand what his adoptive father said at all.

"Well, it's just a test."

However, Alberich followed his own words and didn't care about Siegfried's feelings at all.

"While those big things haven't been tested yet, there are other designs that can be experimented with."

"So what exactly is it?"

"Guess how I got here?"

Facing Siegfried's gaze, Alberich couldn't help showing a smile.

"Let me tell you first, I didn't come here through pure magic."

"Not magic?"

After hearing what Alberich said, the doubts in Siegfried's heart became more and more dignified.

"So what is it?"

"Come with me, you'll know." He said, "It took a lot of effort for me and my people to build a tunnel and hollow out the ground. This work is really busy. "

"???"

Then Siegfried's brain shut down.

Chapter 21: The Underworld

Watching his adoptive father's smile as if he was sharing some precious treasure, Siegfried's brain couldn't think for a long time.

Because his poor mind refused to think about the things he heard.

What was Alberich trying to show him?

Although this kind of thing is indeed very important, it is not what Siegfried has in mind.

At the moment, he only cares about one thing.

"Did you dig a tunnel to come here?"

"Yes."

After hearing Alberich's extremely affirmative words, Siegfried subconsciously showed a look of hesitation.

At this moment the young king found himself tempted to say something.

However, all his words seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to speak at all.

"how did you do it?"

And after being dazed for a long time, he suddenly asked such a question.

It was the only words his poor brain could produce.

However, at the moment when the words came out of his mouth, even he himself felt that something was wrong.

But when he looked at his adoptive father's face again, he saw Alberich's strange expression.

"What we dwarves are best at doing is creating an underground world."

Under Siegfried's gaze, Alberich spoke.

After hearing these words from his adoptive father, Siegfried couldn't help but feel an idea of ​​wanting to hold his forehead and sigh.

At the same time, he also has a strong sense of shame and shame.

What do you call this?

"Too."

Although Siegfried himself sensed that something was wrong before, but now, he can only bite the bullet and continue to say this.

"However, I don't even know when this happened."

The source of those messy shocking emotions was still because he didn't know anything about it.

Just imagine, without you knowing anything, the city you live in has been hollowed out, and there is even something underground.

This kind of thing subconsciously makes people feel shuddering.

Even if the person who said this was none other than his adoptive father, the restlessness in Siegfried's heart could not be completely changed anyway.

After all, the position of the king puts too much pressure on him.

In order to control the entire kingdom and prevent the current Netherlands from becoming a wild horse, he tried to understand everything as much as possible and tried to keep everything under control.

And for him like this, the 'unknown' and 'uncontrollable' things are simply unforgivable.

And in the end, it became what it is now.

"It looks like you're really under a lot of stress."

Looking at Siegfried's helpless and exhausted expression, Alberich shook his head helplessly.

But soon the old dwarf laughed.

"But it doesn't matter, anyway, your affairs should be almost handled."

"Ah... um."

"Then come on, I'll take you to the underground to have a look, it will definitely surprise you."

Then, not knowing what to do, Siegfried was taken out of the study by his adoptive father.

And along the way, when he saw those maids who could have been trusted, he was always on tenterhooks.

How should I say it?

It's really a mixed feeling.

These maids are from Iceland, and they are the maids who have accompanied Hilda since childhood, and are her good sisters.

Also because of this relationship, Siegfried has great trust in them.

However, this trust has nothing to do with his adoptive father.

The Kingdom of Nibelung is doomed to be shady, and when the shady people are exposed to the sight of strangers, it will always make those in the know fearful.

And Siegfried's mood was constantly ups and downs.

He met many maids along the way.

Some are shield maidens who patrol the inner sanctum with swords in hand, while others are maids who clean.

And when they see Siegfried, they always salute and say hello to him.

This situation is completely torture for Siegfried now.

But fortunately, they didn't seem to be aware of Alberich's existence.

Is it too short to see?

No, to put it bluntly this is what magic does.

Perhaps because his identity as a blacksmith was so famous, Siegfried almost forgot that his adoptive father was also an excellent wizard.

Not to mention the power of frontal combat, it is actually very common to want to use magic to eliminate one's body shape.

And under this complicated mood, they came to the master bedroom where Siegfried lived, and then turned directly into the secret passage in the palace.

Then Siegfried fainted.

"No, where are we?"

Finally, after spending countless laps in the secret passage, Siegfried finally couldn't help asking.

"If I remember correctly, we seem to have come around the door now."

Siegfried doesn't think he is a person with super brain power.

However, he understood the importance of the palace he lived in, so he took great pains to memorize the formal map of the palace.

Even the location and direction of the secret passage are well known.

However, it is precisely because he understands that he has doubts about what they are doing now.

"If I remember correctly, going out here should be..."

"where is it?"

"Under my study, you can walk up to the study as long as you go up the stairs."

Going around and around, it seems to be back to the original place in the end.

This is what confuses Siegfried.

"Do you really think this is where your study is?"

"Is not it?"

"Then try pushing the door."

"?"

With doubts, Siegfried pushed open the door of the secret passage.

But at the next moment, he found himself in a different place.

Because at this moment, what reached his ears was the sound from far to near.

He could see that this seemed to be a circular room, and there was a disc-shaped ground under his feet.

And there seems to be a button around the room.

"What is this place?"

"Huh? Guess?"

With a happy mood, Alberich reached out and pressed the button.

Immediately afterwards, Siegfried felt the circular ground he was stepping on tremble for a moment.

"What's wrong?!"

"Oh, don't be nervous, this thing still needs to improve stability."

'Om'

At this moment, what Siegfried saw was one rune after another.

The brilliance of magic shone on the ground and walls, and he soon felt a sense of falling.

"Are we heading down?"

'clang'

'clang'

'clang'

At this moment, His Majesty the King heard the sound of tapping and digging, and the sound coming from his ear was endless, and seemed to drift far away.

At the same time, there were other voices in his ears.

'woo woo woo'

It was a bit like a horn, but Siegfried had never heard such a horn.
