You and me under the world tree

As for war, it is the same.

There are wizards in Midgard who raise their hands and turn the clouds, but the wizards of human origin will not interfere with the affairs of the world.

As for the real reason, no one knows.

As for those heroes who once had unique adventures and obtained magical weapons through various trials, there are too few.

They are indeed strong, even enough to change the entire battle situation with one person, but such existence is rare in the entire human world.

At the beginning, the fence that was just to resist the infestation of wild beasts and monsters was gradually raised, and finally became a tall city wall.

And in order to climb or even destroy the city wall, humans themselves began to think about various methods.

They learned to 'throw objects'.

The catapult, a simple siege tool, also appeared.

For most people, these things appear in daily life.

They have easy access to these.

In the end, humanity seems to have reached a bottleneck.

Because that's all they can do and learn.

Human beings have their own kingdoms and horse-drawn carriages to replace transportation.

And in their cognition, the faster ones are those famous horses with extraordinary pedigree.

For example, the descendants of the eight-legged horse, Grani and Skemin.

So, will someone think and design this behemoth like his own uncle?

A huge object called a train that runs on a specific track.

Siegfried didn't know this, at least it hadn't happened before.

He hadn't even seen any intention of establishing a kingdom from the book.

"The wisdom of the weak."

Siegfried chewed those words over and over again.

But at this moment, there was no darkness in the young king's eyes.

Some are just a glimmer of light.

That light is called hope.

"Yes, child, it exists because of need."

"I know, it's like I wanted to build a sword of my own, so I started to learn the technique of casting iron from you."

It is precisely because of such thoughts and needs that we have the direction and motivation to move forward.

"However, change may not be that simple."

"Yes, change is never easy, and only humans can realize the limits of weapons."

"The limit of the weapon?"

"It's very simple, child, imagine if you have nothing but the simplest weapon in your hand, but you encounter a monster, what will you do at this time?"

"I'll break its neck."

"..."

It seems that there is no way to say this.

Alberich, who had planned to continue to guide Siegfried and resonate with him in this regard, suddenly realized how difficult this kind of thing really is.

Siegfried.

Although this man looks a little dazed and even stupid now, he is still a powerful fighter in essence.

"Ordinary people don't have your strength, Siegfried."

They don't have the strength to fight fierce beasts and monsters with bare hands, nor do they have weapons that can break through the fur of those powerful monsters.

"And even you have a limit, you can't use an ordinary sword to deal with a strong beast, such as an evil dragon..."

"Sharp it sharply, and I can blow its head off."

"..."

"No, Lai Jin, don't you believe it, that's what Studus did back then. I followed him all the way to the fire dragon's lair, and watched him directly insert the sword into the dragon's head, splashing blood all over his body."

When it comes to combat, Siegfried is clearly an expert.

This kind of words came naturally.

"He can do it, why can't I do it?"

Alberich knew about this, because Siegfried had mentioned his travels long ago.

"I don't understand you people."

In the end, Alberich just shook his head helplessly.

He was a little annoyed, so he jumped up and hit him on the shoulder with his fist.

But helplessly, as an excellent warrior, the Lord of Armies did not move at all.

His footing is solid.

On the contrary, Alberich felt his fist suddenly hurt.

What is this called? !

"Okay, just take it as the kind of ordinary people I'm talking about." He said angrily, "It's hard for them to protect themselves against wild beasts, let alone monsters and evil dragons."

"Well, then what?"

"But, if they want to defeat those monsters, what do they need to do?"

"exercise?"

"Ordinary people don't have time for exercise, boy, what they need are strong weapons."

"But weapons also need to learn how to use them, even bows...is it difficult to become a crossbow? But no, the crossbow needs to be aimed more than the bow, and its reloading time is too long."

"But what if such a weapon exists?"

"what?"

"A weapon that doesn't require much proficiency and can be used quickly. It is a weapon for defeating the strong and the weak."

"Is there such a weapon?!"

Finally turning the topic here, Alberich couldn't help but feel a little strenuous.

But fortunately, he didn't lose face in this regard.

"Yes, although it is only a prototype now, it is still okay to show it to you."

Then, Alberich raised his voice.

"Someone!" he yelled.

"coming!"

After hearing the king's voice, someone slid down from the height along the rope.

Naturally, it's a dwarf.

"Your Majesty! Your Highness!"

"Take the kid to see what we're designing now, he'll know sooner or later anyway."

"Alright! This way, Your Highness! Actually, this thing almost has a structure!"

Then, following the guidance of the dwarves, Siegfried went all the way to a certain place in the underground world.

Then, what caught his eyes was a huge steel creation, and it was facing the sky, and the hideous pipe had already shown its edge.

"what is this?"

"Use it to deal with things flying in the sky! Moreover, in the design, the theory only needs one person to use!"

But soon, the dwarf scratched his head.

"However, we have not solved the problem of loading, and we are still debating whether to deal with the problem of loading speed first, or to increase the loading capacity first."

Immediately afterwards, the dwarf fell into his own thoughts.

"In addition, we are still discussing the issue of accuracy, but this seems to require additional design and planning, and some people are considering whether to shrink it and put it on the train."

At this moment, Siegfried could no longer hear these things, and his eyes were only on the hideous metal creation in front of him.

"Some people even think about making a giant metal giant, but the bigger the puppet, the slower it seems to be, and ordinary wizards may not be able to control it."

Then, the dwarf stopped his words.

Because he found out that His Royal Highness didn't listen to him at all.

But at this moment, Siegfried's gaze was completely attracted by the creation in front of him.

He suddenly felt that the world seemed to have entered an extremely crazy situation.

It was like jumping all of a sudden.

"Perhaps, the era of heroes will come to an end."

Chapter 25: Magic Guns

Today, the sun is also very bright.

It shines through the clouds on this land called the Netherlands.

It is said that the reason why this land and this kingdom are called 'Netherlands (lowland)' is because its terrain itself is not high, and some places are even lower than the sea.

At that time, there were even monsters running rampant in this land, and giant robbers emerged in endlessly.

After the ancient Ilfen tribe came to this land, they slaughtered monsters and bandits.

It is said that in order to demonstrate his power, the ancient demigod Xiji simply dug hills, filled the land, and suppressed the monsters in the depths of the ocean.

This solved the hidden dangers on this land in one fell swoop.

Then, the ancient tribe established the first large city on this land.

It is also the embryonic form of today's Skywrath King City.

But that was all a long time ago.

For those who live in this land today, they will be grateful to the pioneers who calmed the land.

And that reverence has continued to this day with the evolution of the Irfin tribe.

The Volsung family.

There seems to be no shortage of legends in this land and the race extended by the demigod Xiji.

And those popular legends eventually evolved into stories one after another in the mouths of poets.

These poets are always happy to haunt pubs or alleys, narrating the ancient "once" with their melodious voices.

Some of them will take the form of poetry, but more people prefer to listen to the vernacular.

"On the battlefield, Siegmund holds the holy sword, invincible!"

Along the way, Huo De, who was spinning around in the market, could often hear the sound from far to near.

But for this, he just showed a complicated expression.

In fact, he didn't know what attitude he should take towards this.
