You and me under the world tree

It was a look he couldn't read at all.

Is it because the so-called 'guns' were made by other people?

In fact, Siegfried felt that he already had a certain understanding of the so-called human heart.

In the court, he can easily see through the demands of those courtiers.

But now, he couldn't see through his uncle's thoughts.

"I have already tested its power. There is a special shooting range underground."

"How does it feel?"

"Maybe there is still some lack of accuracy, but the power is great. However, the barrel will turn red after a few rounds and may be damaged."

"That's enough. With such a prototype, there will be a way forward in the future."

In the end, Hodder put down the 'gun' in his hand.

"As for this trial work, keep it with you, remember to keep it close to your body, and don't let others see it."

"However, Lakin gave me two, and I want another one..."

"Keep it all, this kind of thing is probably just icing on the cake for me, but it is a kind of enhancement for you."

The reason is simple, Siegfried's magic level is too mediocre.

He has not been able to cast spells instantly, and if he wants to cast spells in battle, he must either prepare a scroll engraved with magic in advance, or take the time to draw magic.

Although the latter is not impossible, after all, Huo De has taught him how to use 'slash' to describe the magic of killing nature.

However, this kind of thing is still too reluctant for him.

He can use tactics, but if this kind of tactics cannot be digested, it will become a great flaw.

Therefore, he must supplement another way of fighting.

"In fact, in the battle with those guys, this kind of magical device has no way to win directly, but there is one more method that can hit a surprise."

Speaking of this, Hodder suddenly laughed.

"And I'm different."

Holder.

Compared with Siegfried, his attainments in magic are extremely superb.

Instant spellcasting was at his fingertips, but when he needed to inscribe runes, it was either with earth-shattering noise or a purely magical duel with other wizards.

And from this point of view, Hodder himself really doesn't need this kind of thing anymore.

After all, no matter how you say it, this magic gun is just a prototype.

Leaving aside the power, there is also a problem with the shooting accuracy, and once the magic is activated, it means that it can be countered, which itself is a huge disadvantage.

"To me, this might just represent a...dream?"

"Dream?"

"Well, it can be regarded as a little bit of personal dream practice."

The so-called magic gun has a series of other things.

For Hodder, these things can only be a product that exists in a dream.

Because magic was only a dream for him in the past.

But in fact, the so-called magical guns are just the epitome of a certain civilization that only exists in fantasy in his mind.

"Humans may not be able to become powerful wizards, but human beings should enjoy the convenience brought by magic."

Don't know magic, but enjoy its fruits.

At first glance, this may sound a bit wrong, at least Siegfried subconsciously thinks so.

But when you think about it carefully, this is the essence of 'life'.

Not everyone knows how to cook, but everyone is eager to enjoy food.

Not all are proficient at forging cast iron, but everyone desires a good sword.

"Generally speaking, a person's energy is limited after all, so he can only specialize in one thing, but humans are social animals."

At this moment, the voice of the sage also echoed in the king's ears.

"Exchange results, make progress together, and finally fill them into the seemingly simple vocabulary of 'life'. At the same time, the pursuit is constantly improving."

"So you designed the train? There are so many underground... facilities."

"Humans must have their own weapons, Siegfried, this will not be the end, it is just the beginning."

Yes, the starting point.

Siegfried could understand Hodder's words.

Because it is what it is.

Alberich told him that this is just a starting point, and after that, they will continue to expand the underground space, and even plan the deep sea.

Of course, this doesn't mean hollowing out the ground, but all the underground cities can be connected together by railways.

After that, the ground will be completely reduced to a battlefield.

As for what will happen at that time, Siegfried has no idea.

"uncle."

"Ok?"

"Can we win?"

At this time, Siegfried very much hoped that the man he trusted could give an accurate answer without thinking as before.

Or give guidance.

However, he just shook his head.

"There is no answer to that question, Siegfried, because we have to win."

From beginning to end, this road has only one end, and it has no retreat.

"I see, I know."

However, Siegfried didn't worry too much.

Under Hodder's gaze, the young king just smiled brightly.

"I hope to meet the Netherlands...no, the day when everyone can fully enjoy the convenience brought by magic."

"There will be that day."

"And at that time, the whole world will be stable."

"..."

Chapter 27: Can't bear to break that innocence

Siegfried Zigmundsen Volsung.

Although this child bears an extraordinary lineage, he has risen from such a humble status as a blacksmith apprentice.

After learning about the extraordinaryness of the surname he bears and the responsibilities and obligations he must fulfill in the future, he has been working hard.

He studied with his uncle, and after fully acquiring the theoretical knowledge, he relied on his martial arts and physique to start a year-long journey.

In a sense, he is also an orthodox adventurer.

Holding a magic weapon in hand, he travels around, and when the road is uneven, he will draw his sword to help.

Isn't this an adventurer?

It's just that it's different from young people who generally admire all kinds of thrilling adventures.

For Siegfried, his adventures are literally visiting the kingdoms.

Go to the capitals of those kingdoms, see with your own eyes the deeds of those kings and lords, and then look at the people in those war-torn places.

This is his adventure.

In fact, except for the fact that he followed the caravan in the Hungarian Empire to Jotunheim, the kingdom of giants, and slaughtered the fire dragon in the period of Gitland, his adventure journey can be regarded as uneventful.

Even, even the above two are nothing.

He had encountered giant robbers blocking the way and chasing him, but he was shattered by the Holy Sword of God's Wrath in his hand.

As for Gitland's fire dragon incident, he is essentially just a spectator.

He didn't use the Holy Sword of God's Wrath, nor did he reveal his true identity.

If he had to say what he did, it would probably be fighting alongside the equally young Prince Gitland.

But in essence, the battle of fire dragons is still a personal show of Prince Studus of Gitland.

What he does can only be described as mediocre.

But that doesn't mean his adventures are anything but dull.

He didn't care about thrilling adventures, and he never thought about digging treasures in the deep mountains, let alone the bad luck of finding giant robbers deep in the mountains or under the earth.

He just wandered among villages and towns.

And this is his 'growth'.

Even though there were no thrilling adventures and battles, and he didn't meet more partners in that lonely adventure, he repeatedly compared what he had learned with what he had seen and heard.

And in the gradual tempering, he took the first step.

Then, he slayed the evil dragon Fafnir, and learned the secret of Ganita Heide.

Since then, he has become a big man who can stand upright.

Although there are slight flaws, anyone can see that he has an extremely grand wish.

Then he went to Iceland and the northern seas, and finally led the assembled army to launch a counterattack.

In the end, he transformed from an ordinary warrior and descendant of Volsung to the current Lord of Armies and King.

Although as an elder, Hodder felt that he shouldn't have done this.

He did, however, doubt that the child would change.

Because people always change with the environment.

In Huo De's memory, Siegmund also had a little change.

Because he had never been defeated, his self-esteem gradually became stronger, and he even began to become arrogant, completely forgetting the spirit of bearing humiliation when he was young.

Therefore, he was also worried about whether Siegfried would produce similar changes.

Even, he may forget his former purpose and immerse himself in the power of the king.

After all, he is doing better than his father in this aspect now.

The lords he enshrined did not have much power, and all the troops were under his own control.

The Lord of Armies of the Netherlands is now the supreme speaker of the Netherlands army.

However, when he saw the look in Siegfried's eyes again, Hodder realized that his worries seemed to be groundless.

That child hasn't changed at all.

He didn't talk about power at all, and the topic didn't even have anything to do with the identity of the king.

Although the throne of the Netherlands made him subconsciously consider the interests of his own kingdom, so his first reaction was what the Netherlands should do.

However, Huo De saw that when he talked about the prototypes of those creations that should be classified as magical technology, his eyes were filled with the brilliance of hope.

And unconsciously, a certain image deep in Hodder's memory gradually became clear.

Because he suddenly thought of the legends of heroes that he knew and circulated in the so-called modern society.

In such legends, Siegfried is no different from other so-called warriors and heroes in terms of performance.

That is to say, martial arts are strong, but personal virtues are obviously uncomfortable.

"Humph……"
