You and me under the world tree

Even though she knew she might not come back here in the future, she still wanted to remember.

Not because of anything else, because this is where that kid rules.

This is the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

This is the city of wrath.

Perhaps, as far as the fundamental reason is concerned, she just wanted to find some comfort.

She never knew Siegfried, and she had no contact with that child's growth and character.

Even, in the previous conversation, all she could feel was alienation and strangeness.

He was extremely polite, yet exuded a lingering distance.

And at this point, it was almost impossible for her to know about her child.

Because even she can see that Siegfried's attitude does not have any intention of getting close.

Therefore, contact has become a luxury, let alone communication and understanding.

However, in this regard, Theotis will not be reconciled.

She didn't want to know nothing about him.

Whatever the reason, she wanted to be closer to him.

Even if there is only a little bit, or even just the rumors that spread among the people, it is a kind of comfort to her.

With such a mentality, the former Queen of the Netherlands and the mother of the Lord of Armies followed the sage without saying a word, and started her journey.

They walked out of the palace, and under the shroud of silent magic, even the guards didn't seem to see them.

She just walked slowly behind the sage, listening to the calm voice of the sage.

"As you can see, in fact, the main structure of the entire Skywrath King City has not changed much. There is a tavern over there, but now there is only one old man guarding it. The young people in their family opened the tavern outside the city. Went to the market."

"Ah."

Listening to the sage's words, Theotis nodded slowly.

Then, she stopped suddenly.

"I remember that it should be the location of the temple." She said.

But between words, she couldn't help hesitating.

Because now, what appeared in front of her was not a temple, but another building.

It looks a little special.

Although they are equally tall, they are not in the shape of a temple.

And more importantly, although its door is guarded, it looks like it can come in and out at will.

Theotis saw those boys and girls coming out of the building.

They lined up and looked neat.

They walked out of the building just like that.

And behind those children, an elderly woman was smiling.

She just watched these children walk out of the big house.

"Is this an orphanage?"

After thinking for a long time, Theotis finally choked out such a word.

Although she also felt that something was wrong, in her perception, only the orphanage fit the current situation.

Moreover, although the Netherlands has calmed down in recent years, it has also fought a lot of battles before.

"No, this is not an orphanage."

But soon, she got the negative that surprised her.

"Then here is..."

"It's an attempt, but unfortunately it is limited by technology and treasury issues and cannot be promoted."

Amidst the sage's words, Theotis turned around when he saw the cute and well-behaved children.

Then he bowed to the older woman standing in front of the big house.

"goodbye teacher!"

"teacher?"

"Well, this is a school. Ordinary families only need to pay a small fee to let their children study here and learn the most basic knowledge."

"Basic knowledge?"

"Writing, geography, mathematics, and physical education, these are the four basic courses I carefully selected, and more importantly, the school manages meals, so many families are willing to entrust their children here."

Don't underestimate this so-called basic course.

In fact, for people in this world and this era, being able to read and write can find a good job, and being proficient in other knowledge means being able to take an easy job.

For the parents of their children, they may be satisfied with their current life, but they will not like their children to be engaged in the same jobs as themselves.

"And when they grow up a little bit, they will have the opportunity to choose their own future, hobbies or talents. We also have arrangements for this."

That's it, Hodder said.

"If you are really not interested in books, we have also set up colleges in various parts of the kingdom that specialize in the cultivation of life skills, so that everyone can have a livelihood."

"It sounds like there are a lot of loopholes."

"Yes, there are many loopholes."

Without directly denying Theotis' words, Hodder just nodded calmly.

"After all, people are still different. Maybe it's character, maybe it's talent. There will always be a little gap in this regard."

And sometimes, this small gap is hard to make up through sheer effort.

"Actually, we can only provide a relatively stable, stable and fair environment, and the rest have to depend on themselves."

"goodbye teacher!"

Then another group of small students came out of the academy.

While staring at the children who seemed to symbolize hope and vitality, other thoughts suddenly appeared in Theotis' mind.

"Speaking of talents, have you ever thought about teaching magic here?"

Then Hodder shook his head.

"I don't have that time, let alone that energy. I still have a lot of things to do, and the so-called magic is actually very troublesome to teach."

At the same time, in the unknown underground, there are stars dotted here.

Like a beautiful eternal night.

Here is the scenery that can be seen above the ground.

Gardens, lawns and buildings.

Naturally, there are also dwarves who live here.

Most of these people were temporarily relocated from the Nibelung Kingdom and were responsible for daily work and maintenance.

And here, the siren is whining.

And some human children stepped on the train.

"Where are we going?"

One of the little girls asked timidly.

At the same time, the dwarf princess Lovehead, who was as tall as her, patted her little head.

"Go to the most magical place in the world, where you will learn everything you need to know to be a wizard."

"Everyone, be careful! This journey will be very safe, and we only need two days to reach our destination!"

On the other side, the dwarf princess Rincihead was also greeting her.

Lovehead smiled slightly after hearing his sister's voice.

"You are all the pride of the Netherlands, and you will become the pillars of this kingdom and even the entire human world in the future."

Chapter 71: The Lazy Boy

Humans are weak.

So they need to learn to use weapons to protect themselves.

This kind of weapon is not limited to swords, guns, swords and shields.

For humans, even those small objects in daily life can be used as weapons in crisis situations.

In order to protect themselves and live a better life, they gradually developed their own culture.

Even, in the end, the entire Midgard belongs to the human world, not the paradise of other monsters.

If you only look at this atrium world, humans may be very powerful.

However, this is still not enough.

Looking at the entire Nine Realms, human beings are still being slaughtered like fish on a chopping board.

There is not even any hole card that can be handed.

In this case, a force with a certain ability to protect itself and even compete with the gods is particularly important.

However, human beings are far inferior to those superior gods in terms of physical fitness, strength and lifespan.

Under such circumstances, a head-to-head confrontation with the gods is tantamount to nonsense.

Therefore, Hodder set his sights on magic.

It's not those simplified, simple-principle 'Magic Technology'.

But traditional magic.

Even if Hodder has tried to simplify the magic as much as possible, and show all the ideas in his mind in the simplest form of magic.

Because the simpler the principle, the more complicated it is elsewhere.

For example, Thor, the god of thunder, can release thunder and lightning at will, and even wield the powerful magic hammer Mjolnir.

And at the next level, even those Valkyries who were selected by them to travel around as messengers can fly around at will, coming and going freely in this world.

But humans cannot do this.

Even if they want to travel long distances, they must rely on horse-drawn carriages, and even the underground train conceived by Hodder and created by the dwarves must run on fixed tracks.

In other words, even if human beings rely on the external equipment and have the capital to challenge the gods, once they cannot keep these fixed equipment, everything will be useless.

In order to have the real power to compete with the gods, Hodder had to refocus on traditional magic.

What kind of path will you take in the future?

Hodder didn't understand this.

Because he knew that he had opened the unknown magic box in advance, and there must be a collision between traditional magic and the more convenient so-called magic technology in the future.

But when facing the gods, traditional magic is still more useful.

The facility is too large and easily destroyed.

But wizards are different.
