You and me under the world tree

"Let's forget about such an embarrassing thing."

At this time, Wittig would not have imagined that a similar conversation was actually taking place at the other end of the town.

"If I had been face to face with him, there would have been nothing but embarrassment."

Walking on the broad road, Her Royal Highness the Gothic princess spoke.

How could she not recognize that man?

In fact, with her insight, she knew that the partner of the young man named Walter was Wittig more than ten days ago.

However, what she didn't expect was that the once vigorous young man would appear so fragile now.

Even mobility requires a wheelchair.

However, there seems to be a reason for this.

After all, not everyone can compete with Etzel.

Let alone defeat him.

Anyway, no matter what, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the water in that so-called duel was very deep.

"No matter what, it's better not to admit your identity, just let this matter pass."

she whispered.

"Did you choose cold treatment?"

"Well, that's it. After all, I'm not that generous."

She was expressionless.

"I'm not going to forgive him for what he did, and neither immaturity nor innocence will change the fact that it's stupid."

Then, Her Highness the Princess stopped in her tracks.

She turned around and stared at the man who had been silently following her.

"After all, everyone is an adult, so no matter what, they need to be responsible for their actions."

"uh-huh."

In this regard, Hodder did not express his attitude, he just nodded slowly.

And this attitude couldn't help but make her curl her lips.

"Okay, Wittig's matter is not important, it's better to say, how is your side?"

"Ok?"

"Aren't you investigating, that guy?"

Forsyte.

Chapter 7: Complex Feelings

Hodder and the others also stayed in this small town called Vasgenstein for more than ten days.

During this time, Dietrich circled around Walter and the others.

Originally, her purpose was actually to help.

Out of a somewhat complicated sense of guilt, she thought she could at least help out at the funeral.

For example, help make coffins, dig graves, and carve tombstones.

This is an idea that is difficult to articulate in a few words.

And if she insisted on using words to explain this kind of thinking and its reasons, it could only be attributed to her own thinking.

She felt that to some extent, the death of the mother of the young man named Walter had something to do with her decision.

It is precisely because she has delayed launching a war against Elmrich, allowing him to act as a buffer zone and barrier between the powerful Hungarian Empire.

It is precisely because of this that the once beautiful town has become so depressed now.

In fact, she didn't think it was all her fault.

She just felt that she was perfectly capable of preventing this from happening, but she gave up that for another plot.

Limited ability and active choice are two different things after all.

However, on the other hand, she was essentially just trying to appease her restless heart.

Thinking of giving some compensation as much as possible without revealing his identity and whereabouts, all this is just to calm down his inner anxiety.

She knew all this herself, but she still wanted to do it.

But unfortunately, she was of no help in the end.

Because of the current depressed environment and their own goals, Walter and the others did not allow them to hold such a grand funeral.

The coffin was made by himself and his partners, and the tombstone was carved by himself.

As a Gothic princess, Dietrich couldn't help herself. She could only watch as the young Walter dug the grave and erected the tombstone for her mother.

As for what she could do herself, that was to offer a bouquet of flowers when all was said and done.

And if she insisted on saying that she had gained anything, it probably meant that she had learned some news.

Although she didn't deliberately eavesdrop on anything, from the hidden signs of Walter and Wittig's activities, it can be seen that they are definitely going to cause quite a storm in this land.

But that has nothing to do with her.

After all, no matter what, it was only Elmrich who had a headache.

However, in this seemingly ordinary town, it wasn't just Walter who attracted attention.

Rather, they are actually incidental.

What really caught their attention was the man named Forsyte whom they had never met before.

"More than ten days have passed, have you gained anything?"

Facing Dietrich's question, Hodder just raised his eyebrows.

"To be honest, no, he hasn't had any contact with other people these days, it's just a normal life."

The sage said casually.

"However, his relationship with other people can be regarded as revealing his origin."

"for example?"

"He was raised by a wizard, so his cognitions are different from ordinary people, but it's a pity that he doesn't seem to have any magical talent."

"so?"

"So he just left there, and now he's just living like a normal person."

"But this kind of thing is obviously empty talk."

Hearing Hodder's words, Dietrich subconsciously frowned.

"You really believe in such things?"

"No, I don't believe it. In fact, my intuition tells me that the man named Forsyte should have other secrets, but there is no point in dwelling on these now."

He shrugged it off.

"Is it possible that I can directly control him violently, and then forcibly explore his memory?"

So far, all the information about Forsyte has been obtained by Hodder himself.

In other words, these are just what Forsyte said when he got along with others.

To sum it up, that's what he said.

He said he had a wizarding background.

He said he can't do magic.

So here comes the question, assuming one of the messages is a smoke bomb deliberately released by Forsyte himself, which one is it?

With the interpersonal relationship he has established now, it is impossible for him to 'disappear' directly, but it is not a wise choice to directly conflict with him.

In the end, Hodder's choice was simple.

"To be honest, you don't need to care about such a person, just pay a little attention. After all, he is just a guard of Vasgenstein."

Hearing this, Her Royal Highness Princess' frown gradually relaxed.

Because she knew that the man in front of her said nothing wrong.

This is the case.

Wasgenstein was never an important place, as evidenced by its location.

The lord does not live here, which means that this is not a center.

If Forsyte had plans, he would not have stayed here forever.

"So, is that all?"

Dietrich suddenly found that things in the small town of Wasgenstein seemed to have come to an end, and Dietrich suddenly felt a little strange.

"We... don't seem to have anything left to do."

"Actually, there are."

Instead of looking at Dietrich, Hodder just turned his head and stared at the quiet but desolate town.

"The young man named Walter has been ignited, and he is just an insignificant part of this land. There are many people like him who are dissatisfied."

Then, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"To be honest, I can probably guess Limstein's thoughts, but unfortunately he doesn't have any long-term vision. He probably pins his hopes on his own wealth, so that even if he can't be a lord, he can live comfortably. .”

"But what he didn't expect was that the seemingly patchwork frontier army finally repelled Etzel's army."

Dietrich replied.

"Well, that's it. Now it seems that both the young man named Walter and Wittig obviously have hatred with Limstein. It depends on when this hatred breaks out."

"It probably won't be long. I think Wittig and the others have already started to act."

"So, what are you going to do?"

During such a conversation, Hodder directly brought the topic back to Her Royal Highness herself.

"If nothing else, you're probably going to be busy."

"uh-huh."

"So, what are you going to do? Hurry back to Bei'an City and make preparations in advance?"

"No, it's not time to go back yet, there's no need to be so anxious."

At this moment, Her Highness the Princess first covered her forehead, then stretched herself, and then brushed her hair.

But no matter what, her actions highlighted the 'uncomfortable' point.

"Let's go according to the original plan." She whispered, "Let's go to the Tyrolean mountains."

However, unlike before, Hodder may not be the only one who needs to relax.

"Anyway, it will take quite a long time for them to achieve their goals."

Chapter 8: Innocent

I'm afraid even Wittig himself didn't know that when they were still perfecting their plans and plans, someone had already seen through their ideas.

However, the two additional insiders chose to indulge, so this has nothing to do with them who don't know.

And now, after dealing with these things, they quickly headed to the central city of the Grimes region: Imst.

Although this city does not have a long history as a royal city like Ravenna, it has a prosperous past.

And all this originated from that extremely romantic legend: the great rose garden in the Tyrolean mountains.

When the king of Burgundy brought back beautiful roses that mirrored the gemstones, it sparked a treasure hunt.

Of course, not everyone cares about those beautiful roses.
