You and me under the world tree

In the secret passage, the leading sage spoke without looking back.

"As far as you are concerned, as long as you return to Iceland, it will be considered safe. Whether it is Denmark or the Hengding family, they dare not stretch their hands too far."

"Ah."

Not knowing whether he listened or not, Theotis just nodded mechanically.

She couldn't come up with any plan herself, so she could only listen.

But even so, she felt a little reassured after hearing Iceland's name.

"My brother can protect me."

"Yes, so you can give birth to the child with peace of mind, and I will take the child away later."

At this moment, the sage could not help clenching his fists.

"I will train him to be an outstanding fighter, and sooner or later, he will take revenge with the Holy Sword of God's Wrath himself."

However, before the sage finished speaking, Theotis frowned.

"What did you say?"

"I mean, I'll take him away."

Faced with Theotis' doubts, the sage obviously had no intention of backing down.

"You can stay in Iceland, but he can't. He must not be stained with the colors of other kingdoms."

In the end, the sage stopped his steps.

He turned his head and stared at the young queen who was following behind him.

"This is not conducive to his future growth, let alone his future confrontation with other kingdoms, so this is necessary."

Chapter 76: Imposed Responsibilities

In the secret way, the words of the sage sounded a little unreasonable.

But as long as you think about it for a moment, you can understand that these words are still for the good of Siegfried in essence.

And even now, after witnessing this scene as if looking back on the past, Hodder still thinks so.

Because Siegfried must maintain 'innocence' and not be associated with any kingdom, so that he can control this piece of land called the Netherlands with dignity.

Yes, like now.

If Siegfried had been involved with other kingdoms from the beginning, with a considerable part of the debt of favor in it, then he would definitely not be able to do whatever he wanted like now.

Maybe it will be constrained and become a huge weakness.

Watching the scene in front of him, many thoughts could not help but emerge in Hodder's mind.

Although for now, Hodder also understands that Iceland has helped a lot.

Moreover, King Gripoel of Iceland was on their side.

But decades ago, there was really no way to give any tolerance in this regard without any contact.

And more importantly, the Kingdom of Iceland is only 'helping' after all.

Hodder admitted that the Kingdom of Iceland is a good helper, and with such an unexplained foreign aid, the Netherlands is quite comfortable.

But fundamentally speaking, the Kingdom of Iceland is not indispensable.

Even now, there is no change in this general direction.

For the current Netherlands, those extremely critical core events are all completed by themselves.

And the help from 'friends' like the Kingdom of Iceland.

Even if it doesn't, it just makes the whole thing a little more difficult.

It's not impossible.

And if there is anything indispensable in the current layout, it is probably Baldr, the God of Light.

"Really."

Just when Huo De thought of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm really ruthless."

Who was it that said these words?

Maybe it's him now, or maybe it's a sage from the past.

In any case, from an emotional point of view, this kind of thing is undoubtedly cruel.

For Theotis is a mother, a wife who has lost her husband, and even her kingdom.

However, for such a poor woman, the sage of the Volsung family not only did not have any comfort, but also said these words.

He didn't even hide it, and told her straightforwardly that he would definitely take her child away in the future.

"What kind of thought did I have at that time?"

Sighing at this, Hodder stared at the cloaked man in armor.

Perhaps, this act was indeed a bit cruel.

But in Hodder's eyes, these are actually necessary.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that at that time he would actually tell these things directly to a fragile woman.

This is not about sympathy or anything, but in Hodder's eyes, this act is completely unnecessary.

Because now is obviously the time to win over this woman, Theotis.

In this case, you should try to gain her trust as much as possible.

Even if it's a disguise, it shouldn't be torn apart at this time.

Because after exposing this cruel reality, this will inevitably encounter resentment, and this emotion will add another lingering rift to the already not stable relationship between the two.

Even, this kind of crack will continue to enlarge.

Because Theotis is a mother.

And Siegfried was her first child.

Under the blessing of various reasons, her expression gradually became ugly.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands has just been destroyed, and it is indeed time to come up with a specific plan now.

But the timing was totally wrong.

I just lost my husband before, and I didn't even see him for the last time.

And now, is she about to lose her child who is about to be born?

Originally, her spirit was in an extreme state, but the words of the sage undoubtedly added a heavier burden to her thoughts.

"why."

she asked in a low voice.

The voice trembled.

"Why does it have to be like this? I have already lost my husband, don't I even have the qualifications to be a mother?"

Unknowingly, the woman's eyes filled with tears again.

And because of the rather unstable mood, the scene picture constructed based on her memory also began to distort.

And at this moment, the voice of the sage has also become a nightmare that can call out the fear and anxiety in others.

"I have not disqualified you from being a mother, you are still the mother of this child, Theotis."

Then, the distorted scene and sound gradually became stable again.

"However, he should not be associated with any kingdom, not even your own."

Having said that, the sage suddenly began to breathe heavily.

It seems that his spirit seems to be a little abnormal.

Watching the performance of his past self, Hodder suddenly felt as if he had realized something.

Speaking of which, according to the information revealed in the revised memory in his mind, he did leave Skywrath King City on his way.

This paragraph is the plot background in the copy of "Nine Realms".

The background of Volsunger is the 'reinforcement' played by the player.

When the main force of the Netherlands had to retreat, the players left the city of Skywrath, preparing to seek the help of the Valkyries.

Ready to mediate the war, but in the end it was a step too late.

And if you have to say it, the palace belonging to the Valkyrie between the valleys is already empty.

And it will take a lot of time to reach the palace of the Valkyrie from the City of Wrath of Sky, and even if it is a round trip, it will take a whole day if you try your best.

In other words, have I not closed my eyes for more than 20 hours at this time?

"call……"

On the other hand, the footsteps of the sage looked a little vain.

Although he tried his best to avoid exposing his weakness, his body still leaned against the wall without leaving any traces.

Then, he stretched out his hand and supported his helmet, looking as if he was unable to bear the weight of the metal helmet.

But even so, he still chose to utter those words:

"The child in your womb will take back the kingdom of his parents and inherit Siegmund's throne with his own hands in the future."

throne...

However, before the mood calmed down, a certain word deeply stimulated the mother again.

"Yes, the throne."

The sage slowly raised his head and whispered the word.

"But, does he have to be king!"

In the end, Theotis looked as if she couldn't take it anymore, and she screamed directly.

"Are the power and interests of this land really that important?"

Her voice was hoarse, and the anger poured out completely through these words.

"For these, Siegmund has died, and many people have died!"

"He hasn't been born yet! Are you going to force all this on him!"

"..."

"Answer me, Hodder!"

She called the sage's name directly, and her sorrowful eyes revealed pain and madness.

As for the man she called and questioned, he was still standing, leaning against the wall.

"He is the last child of Siegmund, can't he be allowed to live in peace?"

Eventually, the queen even extended her own hands.

She grabbed the sage's cloak.

It looked as if the sage was completely pressed against the wall.

And this scene even frightened the maid who was following him.

But in the end, Theotis was still powerless and collapsed.
