You and me under the world tree

Because their life is eternal.

Since he is immortal, there is no need to consider the inheritance of the throne.

But humans are different.

Because human beings are fragile, and the years are only a hundred years.

In this case, the so-called inheritance must be taken into consideration, and for stability, the system of heir inheritance is generally adopted.

And the so-called illegitimate son is obviously related to the wife that His Majesty the King is marrying, and in comparison, the illegitimate son is more pitiful.

Whether it is the younger brother or elder brother of the legitimate son, their inheritance rights are after the descendants of the legitimate son.

Although the king could change his successor, it was clear that Hiltebrand was not taken seriously when he was young.

"Actually, I've always found it quite ridiculous."

"What? An illegitimate child?"

"Yes, existences like illegitimate children are usually the product of being unable to control one's own desires."

"I don't deny that."

"And this is obviously a hidden danger for the regime of a kingdom."

"Yes, that's right."

Maybe Huo De was too honest, and Hela didn't know what to say for a while.

She also felt irritable, so she couldn't help changing the subject.

"Forget it, go ahead, what did Hiltebrand do afterwards?"

"In the beginning, he was just dissatisfied with the way his friend had been treated, so he wanted to ask his father for an explanation, but they broke up on bad terms, so his methods became radical."

"what?"

"He is going to help Wieland steal the two paired wedding rings, and even help Wieland escape."

"And he succeeded?"

"No, about this, I actually don't know what to say, because the things involved are too complicated."

"How complicated?"

"How should I put it, it was a very simple matter. Hiltebrand was hunting while collecting feathers, while Wieland secretly used the feathers to weave himself a feather coat that could fly for a short time."

"Yuyi? Is he planning to turn himself into a flying eagle?"

For Hela, the so-called Yuyi should be this kind of thing.

This is a very classic and slightly mysterious magical creation.

And if it is a wizard like Wieland, it is not difficult to create it.

However, Hella's idea was rejected by Hodder.

"The nature of the changing spells is related to the physical body, but Wieland's hands and feet have been crippled, which is obviously impossible, so it's just an ordinary flying feather coat, and it probably can't fly very far."

"That sounds simple enough."

"Yeah, it was a very simple thing. Their plan was to create a flying feather coat, so that Wieland could carry enough supplies to escape into the valley to live, but in order to prevent people from chasing them, they also wanted to To create an illusion of death."

"Fake death?"

"That's right, Wieland will hang a bag of blood under his arm, and as the prince and warrior of Gitland, Hiltebrand needs to shoot that bag of blood to create the illusion of being shot."

"It didn't seem too difficult for him."

"Yes, it's not difficult."

Howard said calmly.

"But during this process, two of Niddard's legitimate sons died."

"what?"

"At first it was just missing, and then Wieland himself publicly claimed that he murdered Niddard's two sons in order to avenge his revenge, but of course, you can think of it as paving the way for his friends."

"paving……"

"Because the two children born to Nedard and his real queen died, the remaining heir in line is Hiltebrand, which means that he almost became the king of Gitland."

"However, he left Gitland."

"Yes, he chose to leave the Kingdom of Gitland in the end."

"Is it a feeling of uneasy conscience?"

"Yes, I heard that when Wieland disclosed that he murdered two princes and made the skulls into wine glasses for the king, Hiltebrand considered whether to kill Wieland directly. .”

"He has a good relationship with those two princes?"

"Do you expect the illegitimate son to have a good relationship with the legitimate son? Especially when the illegitimate son is doing extremely well."

It seems that you can understand it by referring to Half and Losger.

"To put it bluntly, he just has a guilty conscience. Maybe it's because he feels sorry for the Kingdom of Gitland, or maybe it's for other reasons."

"And then he went to Gothic?"

"That's another story. At that time, Goth was still a place of war. After being suppressed by Siegmund, the whole kingdom was full of open and secret struggles. If he wanted to live in seclusion, he would not go to that place."

"Then where is he going..."

"Probably because he wanted to seek a decent death. I once heard Dietrich say that he didn't carry his own Invincible Demon Sword at that time, but relied on the simplest leather armor and iron sword to fight."

"Then why is Arius on him?"

"It was later heard that he was working in Gothenburg, and his brother secretly sent him there."

Chapter 39: Here Comes the Guests

Compared with the long-winded narration before, Hodder obviously has no interest in continuing to talk about the following things.

So he just summed it up in the shortest sentence.

"To put it simply, Hiltebrand is such a person. He never cared about the status his friends had. What he respected was talent and performance. For example, what Wieland once did It’s very appealing to him.”

After all, Wieland was apparently an infatuated man before he was driven into madness.

As an elf obsessed with casting iron, he is fully capable of creating magical weapons.

Wieland may not have a strong frontal combat capability, because he devoted all his enthusiasm and mind to his handicraft.

However, for him like this, if he wants to escape desperately, no one can stop him.

Not to mention, he also has the legendary steed Skamming.

But he stayed, even willing to endure the treatment like a slave and a prisoner.

Perhaps, from another point of view, Wieland's personality is too gentle, so he is unwilling to make things big, or even use any radical methods.

But no matter what, he is an infatuated person after all.

On the contrary, Hiltebrand also respects such people.

"However, can these things reveal Hiltebrand's character?"

"Why not? He had dignity and pride, and the subsequent Gothic coup reflected his own tendencies and ideas."

"But from the perspective of the Kingdom of Gitland, isn't Hiltebrand a traitor?"

"uh-huh."

For this, Howard did not deny.

Because this is indeed the truth.

The reason why the Kingdom of Gitland has the confidence to launch wars everywhere, and even beat the Kingdom of Norway out of breath, is because of the existence of Wieland.

The military equipment created by Wieland may be just some kind of degraded imitation, but each of them has impressive power and can be regarded as a family heirloom.

Such is the age.

A real magical weapon doesn't even have the qualifications to ask for extravagantly.

As for high imitations, it is also difficult to get started to a certain extent.

And having an excellent blacksmith who transcends the times, and even has a huge fault at this stage, is equivalent to controlling the core.

However, it was such a character who was finally let go by Hiltebrand.

For the entire Kingdom of Gitland, this is no less than a stab in the back.

What's more, Hodder understands that Wieland's departure is the beginning of the end of the short-lived glory of the Gitland Kingdom.

This led to a culmination of Norway's anger against Gitland due to Niddard's belligerence and frenzied invasion.

In desperation, the young Norwegian king Angentyr and his brothers began to pray, and finally got the answer from the gods.

And what happened later, most people also know.

After gaining the power of fury, Norway gradually won the counterattack.

During several years of war, Gitland was finally beaten back, and Norway successfully regained the lost ground.

And Angentier was already thinking of stopping at that time.

He is not an ambitious king, he just wants to keep the inheritance passed down from his father's generation, keep his father's glory and his own little happiness.

But at that time, his son died unexpectedly, and the gods gave him a warning.

Therefore, not only did the war not stop, but it intensified, and finally formed a huge vortex that involved the entire northern peninsula.

As for these, it is difficult for Hodder himself to say what is right or wrong.

"Things here are complicated."

What would have happened if Angentil hadn't chosen to continue the war?

Even taking a step back, what if Angentier didn't choose to ask the gods for help?

As far as Gitland is concerned, what would happen if the then king Nedard was willing to treat Wieland with a gentle attitude?

"After all, it was not Hiltebrand himself who created the final result, and it was Nidard's inflated ambition that planted the seeds of disillusionment and hatred."

As for the young weapon master, maybe it can only be regarded as not looking at the problem comprehensively enough.

"From his point of view, it was wrong to treat his friend and hero of Gitland like that, and the Invincible Demon Sword finally returned to his hands. It means that his relationship with his own kingdom is not that bad."

Although, Hodder knew that Hiltebrand had never returned to his homeland.

After leaving, he came to Gothic incognito, wanting to take advantage of the chaos in the Gothic kingdom to end himself, and then under such circumstances, he came into contact with the Amerungian royal family who were also in trouble.

At that time, Dittmar still looked sickly.

But was Dittmar a king or a prince at that time?

On this point, Howard is not particularly clear.

But he could vaguely sense one thing.

That's what Hiltebrand is about.

"Speaking of which, at that time, he didn't work for any real lord with power, but chose to work for Dittmar, who was weak and sick, and seemed to have been deprived of real power."

As for the reason, it seems to be very simple.

"Maybe until that time, he was also looking for death, and maybe he didn't take a fancy to the king at all."

After all, Dittmar's situation itself is quite dangerous.

No matter how wise one is, it cannot be reversed.

If Ditmar hadn't encountered the demon named Mehmet in the depths of his palace, all of this would be irreversible.

In other words, allegiance to it is absolutely certain.

"Really... Do you say it's a trick of good fortune, or a 'miracle'?"

Finally Hodder stood up.

"At that time, maybe even he himself didn't think that not only did he not die, but he also met a friend who was with him all his life."

At the same time, Hela didn't continue to mess around there.
