You and me under the world tree

"I've lost my memory. For the past few decades, this kind of memory is fragmented."

Perhaps it was because the answer was so bizarre that Dietrich couldn't believe it for a moment.

Because who is he?

The sage of the Volsung family, apart from being a warrior, he is also a wizard.

A wizard with extremely high magical attainments.

And how could he not pay attention to the protection of his own brain?

"This...how is it possible, no one should be able to invade your brain."

she said.

"You've always been living in an unfixed place and erratic. That is, after Siegfried recovered the Netherlands, you stabilized a little, right?"

"Ah."

"You were not caught by others."

"Correct."

"Then your memory is..."

Dietrich then lost her ability to speak.

"Wizards usually protect their brains, because they understand that their memories will affect their judgment, and the brains also seal things that are important to them."

That's what Howard said.

He took two steps back a little later, then sighed.

"So generally speaking, they never allow others to tamper with their memory and spirit. Under heavy protection, they will even resist fiercely. There is no such thing as a memory being modified without being aware of it."

"but……"

"Unless it has a big premise."

"I know."

After hearing Hodder's words, Dietrich nodded slowly.

But unconsciously, her helmet, which should have been icy cold, gradually turned bright red.

It is melting, hot.

This is enough to prove how unstable Dietrich's mood is at the moment.

"But, how is this possible..."

"I don't know why, but it's the truth, Dietrich."

I reached out and pressed her shoulder. In fact, I didn't know what happened.

"That's why you feel uneasy?"

"That's it."

Finally, Dietrich calmed down, and her armor returned to its icy appearance.

"Well, these are not very important now, what is important is our goal."

Howard said in a low voice.

"After clarifying these, we will go to Jotunheim to find out what the giant has said."

Then he just turned and walked away towards the cottage behind the garden.

During this process, he didn't even give Dietrich a chance to continue speaking, and Her Royal Highness could only watch his back at this moment.

What is it like to have a memory modified?

She is not particularly clear about this.

But she could vaguely feel that feeling.

Lonely and scary.

If a person can't even fully trust his own memory, or even hold doubts, how can he find his way forward?

With such thoughts in mind, Dietrich couldn't help speeding up her pace.

"Wait for me."

She caught up to him and walked beside him.

"Go slowly," she said, "don't leave me behind."

"Ah."

They walked to the house, and then Hodder began to examine the room carefully.

Then, he frowned slightly.

"There is no breath of magic."

Chapter 120: Roots, springs, wood chips

In a conventional sense, it is not polite to rush into someone's house.

But this is not the reason why Hodder did not enter the house for a long time, but stayed outside the door to watch.

The most important thing is that this is the place where the goddess lives after all.

Hodder and the others cannot relax their vigilance until they fully understand the position of the three Noren sisters.

And more importantly, they are not only gods, but also wizards.

These two identities have never been in conflict, and from this level alone, stepping into a wizard's family at will is a deadly act.

God knows what kind of traps or facilities there will be in that house.

However, when Huo De was vigilant in this regard and began to carefully look at the house in front of him, he didn't notice anything.

rune?

No.

But that's really nothing.

Because no one with a little brain would engrave runes on the door grandly.

That's what apprentices do.

Real wizards regard runes as a kind of aesthetics, and there are many ways to inscribe them.

Maybe it's the plant pattern in the garden, or the rhizome of the flower, or even the painting hanging on the wall.

For wizards, any place can be used as a place to cast magic.

However, there seems to be no such trace here.

Even standing in front of the door, he did not observe the so-called magic.

However, the legendary Noren goddesses named "Noble" are famous and powerful wizards, and there is no trace of magic in the place where they live.

Is this possible?

If it was him, in order to protect his residence, he should at least have the most basic protective measures.

Could it be that this is the self-confidence of the gods?

For a moment, Hodder couldn't understand this at all.

Fortunately, he is not alone.

So there is no need to think about this kind of problem over and over again.

"What do you think?" He asked, "It's so peaceful here, it's so peaceful that it feels abnormal."

At least there should be a little trace of magic, right?

In fact, it wasn't just Hodder who noticed this abnormality, Dietrich was of course the same.

But at this moment, she turned her gaze to the sky.

"Maybe it's because the island itself is hard to find?"

She just asked tentatively.

"The fog is shrouded and the space is divided. It is difficult to tell the exact location of this island in the fog. This is an excellent protection in itself."

Having said that, she paused for a moment.

Because she was looking into Hodder's eyes.

Through the gap of the battle helmet, she watched the pair of cloudy eyes through the sunlight.

Even if she was the one answering the question, she herself was not particularly sure about this kind of thing, so she had to refer to his attitude instead.

However, Hodder didn't show anything else.

There is no negation, no affirmation, and the expression under his helmet does not even have any ups and downs.

At this moment, he was just thinking about it.

"uh-huh."

"Moreover, the so-called mortals who can come here are unlikely to harm the gods anyway."

"Does that mean you are extremely confident in your own strength?"

"Well, after all, whether it's you or me, we usually only focus on 'induction'."

Speaking of which, Hodder's own house is really like this in terms of defensive measures.

It is mainly based on external detection and induction, and it is very simple to destroy it.

but……

"That statement doesn't really make sense."

"Ok?"

"I don't really have anything important in my house, so I don't care about the precautions, but it's different here."

Having said that, Hodder looked around again.

"But the Fates hold one thing they cannot remove..."

However, he seemed to think that what he said was too absolute, so he shook his head again.

"Theoretically speaking, it should be immovable."

After all, although the true origins of the three Noren sisters are unclear, their parents have various stories.

But the various legends are very clear on one point:

They are not the weavers of destiny.

Yes, the reason why their destiny is named is because they pay attention to and know the existence of destiny.

and……

"Fountain of Urd."

Dietrich suddenly spoke.

This is a magical spring controlled by the three goddesses of fate.

"According to common sense, the goddesses of fate should guard the magical spring, but..."

At this moment, Dietrich still wanted to continue to say something.

But in the end, she couldn't go on.

Because she suddenly thought of a somewhat scary idea.

"They don't seem to be wary of the Asa Protoss, does this mean..."

"It doesn't seem to make sense to think about it."

At the moment when she hesitated to speak, Hodder shook his head slowly.

"It's all here anyway."
