You and me under the world tree

Because no matter what she said, the sage had no intention of turning back.

However, whether this is a deliberate ignorance or a kind of contempt emanating from the inside out is open to debate.

"Why didn't you speak?"

The sage opened his mouth and exerted strength with his fingers.

And under the oppression of the huge power mixed with magic, the Valkyrie's expression turned red, and even gradually turned blue.

During this process, the changes in her eyes were also clearly shown.

It was a look of astonishment and pain.

She didn't understand, and had no way of understanding, what was going on.

Perhaps in her eyes, the sage who has always disapproved of going to war may be just a show.

No, maybe she should be able to understand the level of the sage to some extent.

However, she was limited after all.

"Could it be that you, who have always called mortals, have been deceived by this word?"

Valkyrie.

In the mortal world, this level of identity means a status that is naturally higher than that of human beings.

She is extremely proud of her identity as a Valkyrie, and she takes it for granted that she should be above mortals.

But in terms of identity, it is indeed true.

But unfortunately, she seems to have mistaken the gap in strength.

"why……"

Finally, finding herself struggling to breathe, it took her all to ask such a question.

"Yeah, why? In fact, I'm also looking for this answer."

Looking at the Valkyrie who didn't even have the strength to cough, the sage couldn't help laughing.

But in the end, he shook his head.

"Think about it carefully, this is entirely your own problem, right? You rushed up by yourself."

Then, he turned his gaze to the sky.

There, the Valkyries who were originally arranged in a certain formation had gathered together.

They were on guard, but they didn't dare to approach in the slightest.

However, is this fear of the sages themselves, or their companions?

This doesn't seem to matter anymore.

"You don't have to worry about anything, I have no intention of strangling her."

Although the sage did say so, none of the Valkyries, including Sigrun, showed any intention of letting down their vigilance.

"I'm also concerned about her breathing."

In this situation of confrontation, the sage said with a smile.

"Look, it's hard for her to breathe like this, right? So I opened her mouth, or five."

'pooh'

Accompanied by a clear voice, the sage slowly pulled out his index finger, and a lot of blood began to emerge from the Valkyrie's neck.

"Ah, sorry, I seem to have torn an artery."

He apologized.

But there is no sincerity at all.

"puff……"

Still being carried by the sage, the Valkyrie began to vomit blood.

The previous sound was not simply the pressure of the palm.

The sage dug his fingers into her neck.

And now, although he let go of one finger, the other four fingers were still stuck in her throat.

"However, as an educator, I still feel a little heartbroken, Sigrun, you should understand, right? What I often emphasize when teaching Helgi."

The sage was just thinking about it, but every word he said seemed to be lethal, making the aloof Sigrun pale.

"Speaking of which, has he ever told you? What I often emphasize is..."

"Perspective."

Sigrun said slowly.

"That's right, that's the 'perspective'. I've always emphasized that it's not okay to be high all day long, because the people who make up the kingdom are always those who work on a daily basis, so he must learn to understand them."

That's what the sage said.

The voice seemed to reveal lightheartedness.

"Although it seems a little unfair to say this, the fact is that the people can not understand the king who rules them, but the king must understand the people, because the latter is the cornerstone, while the former's perspective is more or less limited. .”

No one seemed to know why the sage suddenly brought up the topic here.

However, Sigrun seemed to realize something.

"To put it bluntly, this is still a matter of responsibility, so do you understand? If the kings of the mortal world want to do this, then what kind of responsibility do you Valkyries who maintain the stability of the world have?"

"and many more!"

"Forget it, anyway, it's meaningless to say more."

He let go of it.

Blood was still dripping from the blood-stained fingers, and the Valkyrie, who was almost unconscious, fell to the ground.

Her consciousness seemed to regain clarity for a moment at that moment.

But at the next moment, she found that she couldn't get up.

'boom'

She was pressed to the ground, and at the same time, a sharp pain came from behind.

"stop……"

The pain behind that means separation.

At the same time, the other Valkyries could see clearly.

The sage grasped his wings and stepped on his back.

"This is education, let's lie on the ground again and see clearly with your own eyes!"

"Ahhhh!!!!!!"

In that painful cry, the white wings were torn apart.

Chapter 82: So, at what cost?

The sage's movements were extremely rough, so the Valkyrie didn't have any resistance at all, and one of her wings was directly torn off.

Under the bombardment of magic, the torn wings were directly shattered.

In an instant, the pure white but red-dyed feathers flew around.

This scene couldn't help but make the Valkyries including Sigrun feel their scalps go numb.

Because they both have wings, they can even clearly feel the pain when their partner's wings are torn apart.

Obviously it wasn't him who was injured, but their wings were trembling faintly.

"So cruel..."

It may be that she has never seen such a scene, even the queen who was like an outsider from the beginning to the end couldn't help but start to tremble.

Perhaps, this kind of scene is really exciting for the young queen who has been living in the court.

Torn throat, torn wings.

All of these showed the cruelty under the sage's calm appearance.

However, after these unintentional words fell into the ears of the sage, he turned his head.

That chilling sight made the Queen take two steps back.

"I just……"

Probably because he was afraid that the man would suddenly get violent and kill himself together, Theotis suddenly became incoherent.

"I do not have……"

The uneasiness and fear in her heart spread, and she couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

"Look around you."

Then, the queen heard such words.

She subconsciously turned her eyes around, and what she saw was desolation and dilapidation.

The city gate of Skywrath City has been broken, and a large number of corpses are piled up in front of the gate.

Some of these corpses were hung on the city wall, with half of their bodies left outside, while others were inhuman, looking as if they had been severely trampled on.

There are even some broken limbs and arms, which look like they have experienced a large explosion.

"Sigmund's personal guards are all here, a total of 200 people. Excluding the previous battle on the plains, more than 400 people died, and the remaining 800 people are all here."

The sage spoke slowly.

Then, he slowly raised his leg, and stepped on the still alive Valkyrie wriggling on the ground.

'boom'

Accompanied by a heavy muffled sound, the one-winged Valkyrie couldn't even fly, and could only crawl around on the ground.

"Do you know how they died?"

Without waiting for the queen to express his opinion, he shook his head.

"Some of them charged with Siegmund and died under the random arrows. Some of them formed an formation and blocked the bloody battle with Hengding's berserkers under the city gate, but this alone was not enough to defeat. What makes them like this is a spear."

After hearing what the sage said, the queen suddenly remembered what her maid had said in a panic.

The spears thrown by the Valkyries shattered the gates.

And that means...

"This place has become like this, and these women are basically responsible."

Speaking of this, the sage laughed.

Under the helmet, his laughter was extremely low.

"You didn't say a word about it, accusing me of being cruel when you knew it?"

"..."

Between the words, he did not bring any insulting words.

However, the words that were merely explaining certain facts made Theotis' face turn red.

"But I can also understand. After all, a dog will wag its tail when it sees its owner. How can it show loyalty if it sees that the owner is injured and doesn't bark a few words?"

His tone seemed a little high-pitched.

And if nothing else happened, there might be a mocking face under the helmet.

In the face of such ridicule, the queen seemed to hold her breath, and had no way to refute it.

After that, the sage didn't care about the queen anymore, he just raised his head and looked at the women above the sky.

"Speaking of which, I almost forgot."

He put his hands to his head.
