You and me under the world tree

Chapter 41: Discussions about not knowing how seniority is arranged

Unknowingly, the sage and the weapon master omitted those pleasantries that existed as words of the scene.

Because this kind of pleasantries is essentially unnecessary.

Hiltebrand himself has long passed the age that pays attention to reputation and so-called etiquette, and his life experience has already made him look away from these things.

As for Hodder himself, he didn't care about this kind of thing from the beginning.

polite?

Fame?

Greetings?

Just the right etiquette can really make people like you, that's right.

But forget it if you're going to keep an eye on it all the time.

After all, when the two parties really have something to talk about, such things are not important at all.

And, as for the senses or something.

Although the two sides have never really met face to face, Hodder already has a rumor-level understanding of Hiltebrand.

On the contrary, Hiltebrand's taboo on the name of the sage Hodder can be said to be like a thunderbolt.

Not to mention, these two men who should have had no need for a frontal intersection had a focal point that they had to meet.

That is Her Royal Highness Gothic Princess.

And when talking about this aspect, all the barriers and strangeness seemed to completely dissipate at that moment.

"Being cheerful is a good thing, at least it's better than being overwhelmed and confused."

Facing Hiltebrand's gaze, Hodder spoke.

On the other side, the old gothic hero just picked up his glass and sipped slowly.

"Now, not only does she look more energetic, but she also has a purpose in every move."

"Having a goal is also a good thing, at least it can make people understand what they are doing."

The sage is right, these are all good things.

And these changes in her also made Hiltebrand feel happy.

But if he had to say it, his mood was still a bit complicated.

As for its reason.

"Plus, she said a lot about you."

"..."

On this point, Howard did not immediately respond.

In fact, he felt a little uncomfortable right now for no reason.

There was even a trace of tension in my heart that I hadn't seen for a long time.

It seems that at this moment, he is not a sage, and the old man who looks extremely vicissitudes in front of him is not a Gothic warrior, but just an elder of Dietrich.

And under this status, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel embarrassed.

But fortunately, at this time, Hiltebrand did not look directly at him.

So he didn't notice the embarrassment.

At this moment, the great Gothic hero just looked up and drank the mead, and quickly drank the mellow wine.

"To be honest, I never imagined that she would have a day of nagging."

"Uh."

At this moment, Huo De finally adjusted his somewhat stiff expression.

"What did she say?"

"It's nothing, just about your purpose, some of your adventures and your own thoughts."

"Oh, is it?"

"You seem to have taught her a lot, which neither I nor Dittmar were able to do before."

As that child's teacher, he has always been by her side.

He also always understood that the child had been under a lot of pressure.

Not only the identity of the god-given hero she once had, but more importantly, her future that she can't see clearly.

As a matter of fact, he also knew that if Dietrich was a boy and the real Dietrich Dietermarsen, then her troubles would be relieved a lot.

And for the sake of her father's kingdom, in order to satisfy her father and even the kingdom, she has abandoned and given up too much.

She had to tense her nerves and walk carefully step by step.

But under such circumstances, her spiritual pillar was destroyed.

In that palace coup, Hiltebrand lost a friend and brother.

But Dietrich didn't just lose a father.

She lost her family and the reasons she had been holding on to for so long.

But under such circumstances, Hiltebrand had no way to offer any comfort.

Because his eloquence is not good, and he is afraid that he will make things worse.

Fortunately, she seems to have stepped out of that shadow.

During half a year of travel and self-cultivation, she seemed to be gradually coming out of that shadow.

She has a strong heart.

Moreover, after exposing her daughter, she may have an easier life than before.

Originally, Hiltebrand really thought so.

But later, he discovered that the girl he took care of as his daughter had not changed fundamentally from before.

Of course, this is not to say that Dietrich is fragile.

She is still going strong.

However, she didn't figure it out by herself, but relied on the guidance of another person, or even relied on him to get out of the predicament deep in her heart.

Perhaps as an elder, Hiltebrand should feel happy.

But once he thought of the specific identity and age of the other party, he felt extremely strange.

At the same time, he felt a sense of frustration.

It's fine if the other party is the kind of brat who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and who doesn't know where he came from.

But this man is obviously not at the same level in terms of seniority.

And his existence is obviously like rubbing his and Dittmar's old faces on the ground

And, don't you know how old you are?

Would it be okay to hang around outside with such a young face?

Unknowingly, those messy thoughts surged in the heart of the always calm Hiltebrand.

"I didn't actually do anything, she figured it out largely on her own."

At this moment, the hero heard the sage speak like this.

"She's a strong girl, but sometimes she gets into a corner."

"But you have contributed a lot in this regard. She said that you have the same purpose and the same kind of people."

"..."

Hodder still didn't answer this question immediately.

He remained silent.

Because from his standpoint, it was really difficult for him to answer, because he didn't even know what Dietrich had said.

But I think she is not the kind of person who will add oil and vinegar.

So in the end, he spoke slowly.

"Yeah, we're the same kind of people, I've been through some things, 'losing' is never a good feeling."

Then Hiltebrand was silent for a moment.

In fact, he would have had other things to say.

And those are also clichés in a sense.

However, at this moment, all the messy temptations and questions in his mind disappeared.

Because he also realized that the connection between him and the princess was complicated, but simple.

"I can see that she attaches great importance to you, Your Excellency, and this importance is completely different from that of ordinary people."

But at this moment, the atmosphere seemed to change.

At least at this moment, Hodder saw the aged hero looking him in the face in a real sense.

Hiltebrand didn't back off at this moment.

"As I said before, she has an extremely unique dependence on you."

"..."

"I don't want to express any thoughts and opinions on this, because this is her freedom, and even, I am very happy about it."

Although he said so verbally, Hodder could tell that Hiltebrand was extremely entangled at the moment.

"But sometimes, I hope that what she values...relies on is an ordinary mortal."

Chapter 42: Can you guarantee it!

mortal……

The meaning of this word from the mouth of an old man like Hiltebrand is completely different from that of the gods.

Whether for gods or giants, mortals obviously refer to all intelligent life except themselves.

Because even elves and dwarves, this is also 'mortal' to them.

However, when the word comes out of the mouth of a real human being, the meaning changes.

Because for the humblest race of human beings, the so-called mortal refers to the kind of existence without any extraordinary power, or even any talent and talent, and can only spend a mediocre life without being noticed by others.

Compared with such an existence, any person with talent who has become a "hero of the kingdom" that even kings and lords need to fear is extraordinary.

But having said so much, Hodder was still able to discern his original intention from Hiltebrand's oblique words after all.

ordinary.

Or mediocrity is fine.

But in fact, this expectation is not just the expectation of Dietrich's "subsistence".

This is also Hiltebrand's expectation for Dietrich.

Whether it's the person in her heart or herself.

It would be nice if it wasn't so powerful, not so special, so ordinary.

Because to a certain extent, the things she has experienced so far, and even what happened to King Dittmar, all originated from their 'extraordinary'.

King Dietmar longed for a 'supernatural son', that's why he did that kind of thing.

In order to respond to expectations, Dietrich desperately squeezed her own potential and grew to where she is today. Everything about her has become her shackles.

Some things don't need to be said at all. With just one sentence, Hiltebrand has already conveyed his deepest expectations.

If mundane.
