You and me under the world tree

As for combat power?

That is beyond doubt, even if it is not as good as those outstanding heroes, but the fighting power of the shield girl is beyond doubt.

They are the honorary titles of female fighters corresponding to the title of 'Berserker', so they naturally have requirements for 'combat power'.

In addition, if a kingdom has the equipment of "Shield Maiden", the background of the kingdom can be seen.

Just like in the Netherlands today, Hodder went all the way into the palace, only to see that the guards did not find the shield girl. It can only be said that there is indeed a problem with Legney's rule.

"Two warriors, this is the dessert prepared by Her Royal Highness, she said you will need these."

After seeing Siegfried and Hodder awake, the maid with a sword hanging from her waist spoke.

Then, she pushed in a small wooden dining cart, on which were butter buns and gingerbread.

"Say hello to His Royal Highness Hilda for me, thank you."

After seeing the gingerbread, Huo De probably understood why he chose to deliver the meal at this time.

If Hodder and the others slept until dawn, then on the other hand, if they woke up, they really needed dessert to relieve the 'sequelae' caused by shark meat.

From this point alone, it should be possible to see the delicate thoughts hidden under Hilda's carefree appearance.

"But it's a pity, we've already eaten." Siegfried couldn't help saying after the maid said goodbye and closed the door and left.

"What a pity, eat this, don't waste other people's kindness."

"what?"

After hearing what his uncle said, Siegfried couldn't help but suffer.

"I'm still full."

"I didn't let you eat it all in one go." Picking up the little butter bread from the tray, Hodder threw it directly into his mouth.

It looks very simple, but the size is strictly studied, which happens to be a bite level.

"This kind of thing, just take your time." After swallowing the bread, Hodder walked to the window.

From this room, you can just see the scenery in the garden, and the whole Kingdom of Iceland is filled with such a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

Flowers are still blooming in the garden inside the palace, and it looks like spring.

However, this view can only be seen inside the palace shrouded in Gripper's magic.

Because Iceland and Greenland are the land at the northern end of the Atrium World, and it is close to Niflheim, so it is extremely cold.

"So, Siegfried, would you mind talking to me?" Hod asked just as Siegfried picked up the butter bun.

really……

In this regard, Siegfried was not surprised, because he knew that this was his uncle's character, and he would not waste a second.

He seems to be born to work hard, he will never stop, even if there are beautiful scenery on the way, he is not willing to give up his goal for it.

However, Siegfried has his own views on this.

"Isn't it too explicit to ask tomorrow?"

He couldn't help asking such a question.

"I always feel that it is not a good thing for us to be too impatient."

Chapter 28: Reasons to Slow Down

Hodder never forgot his purpose of accompanying Siegfried into the palace.

The purpose of contacting Gripoll and participating in the welcome banquet held by him is simple: to get news about the northern seas from Gripoel.

Of course, Hodder didn't forget, and neither did Siegfried, he wasn't the kind of procrastinator.

But even so, he still made that suggestion:

"I think you might as well take it easy."

Then, when Siegfried said that, he suddenly saw his uncle's expression froze.

Although his gaze was looking in his direction, it seemed as if he was looking at a farther place.

"Uncle?" He couldn't help asking, "Are you listening?"

"Ah."

"I think we should slow down the progress and stay here for a while?"

There was a hint of consultation in his tone, and he was making suggestions and handing over the decision-making power to Hodder.

This attitude has not changed since the beginning, because in his opinion, both Huo De and Lai Jin are elders who are kind to him.

Although he doesn't know what will happen in the future, but now, he can't ignore their opinions and ideas.

However, although Huo De thinks he is not a very good teacher, he will not force Siegfried to act according to his own ideas.

What he wants to cultivate is a king who can act independently, not a puppet. He has no interest in the regime of the Netherlands.

In other words, Siegfried himself was the center of this revenge against Legney and the Hendines.

Everything should be decided by Siegfried himself. As for Hodder, he can only control the overall situation, and he will give the other party 'freedom' as much as possible.

So at this time, he didn't use a harsh tone, he just leaned his back against the wall and gently leaned his head against the wall.

"Reason?" he asked

Here is the test...

Just when Hodder asked this question, Siegfried had this thought in his mind.

He was quite impressed, whenever Uncle Hodder started to question himself, he was sorting out the 'reasons' for himself.

Because he once taught him: every action must be deliberate.

And more importantly, every conversation with Uncle Hodder has benefited him a lot.

So at this moment, he couldn't help changing his posture.

Originally, Siegfried was lazily lying on the bed and chewing buns.

But now, he got up from the silk bed, found a wooden chair and sat down, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

He took a deep breath, sorted out the scattered thoughts in his mind, and finally transformed them into simple and understandable words.

"Benefits..." he said

And when he said this word, he suddenly saw his uncle raised his hand and began to draw runes.

The rune was burned out of thin air, and a short-lived sound-proof barrier was drawn and began to take effect.

"Go ahead."

His movements seemed quite casual, but because of this, Siegfried couldn't help feeling a touch of emotion in his heart.

This is my uncle...

If it were him, with brute force, he might be able to forcibly draw his sword to fight, but under Griple's restriction, he might not be able to cast magic so smoothly.

But soon, he came back to his senses.

"In short, it's a matter of 'interests'. Although he is my uncle, Gripal is the king of the Kingdom of Iceland after all, and now we need him."

What exactly is Siegfried's purpose?

Even if he didn't say it now, even if Hodder himself didn't reveal half of it, a wise man like Gripal could still understand his ultimate purpose.

"If I show anxiety, there are only two possibilities: First, he sees that I am his nephew, and proposes to send troops to help me, and he really values ​​family affection and will not ask for more from the Netherlands. Interests."

Siegfried started to speak, but even as he said that, he shook his head himself.

"This kind of thing may be possible, but I personally tend to the second point: he will use this excuse to put forward various conditions to me."

In the Atrium world, the 'contract' is a very sacred thing, as it generally requires a third party notary.

This notary cannot be a human being. Generally speaking, Valkyrie will act as a notary for the terms of war between countries. As for those treaties and promises that have nothing to do with war, they will be 'sworn' in the temple of Tyr.

"'Contract' and 'promise' generally have mandatory binding force, according to my uncle, now is not the time to turn around."

When he said this, Siegfried couldn't help but sighed.

At this moment, Gripal's smile couldn't help appearing in his mind.

At the previous banquet, although he had a tendency to drink heavily, he knew that Gripal was also drunk because he was really happy.

It was a happy event for him to meet Siegfried, because Siegfried was a blood relative to him.

However, now he has to speculate on him with the greatest malice.

Because Siegfried does not want to entrust his wishes and the path he wants to take on others.

Although Gripal was his uncle, he was not as close as Howard after all.

"In the end, I don't want to meet people like the Valkyrie just because of the 'contract'."

Those women with white wings, flying on the battlefield and gathering the souls of warriors and heroes once made him look forward to it when he was young.

This is not only because they look heroic, noble, beautiful and pure, but more importantly, he has a heroic dream in his heart.

This is the idea of ​​all the teenagers in Midgard, but because of the influence of traditional culture, most of them associate the word 'hero' with Valkyrie.

Even later, the Valkyrie actually became the only standard of measurement.

At first, Siegfried had the same idea, but he was raised by Lakin after all.

Once Lakin, now Alberich, the dwarf king of the Nibelung is not interested in the gods themselves, and his attitude towards the Valkyrie can also be seen from the blacksmith shop.

In this way, he would definitely not speak well of an existence like the Valkyrie like other people, so he himself was not greatly affected.

After spending more than a year traveling and reflecting, he managed to recognize his own definition of the word 'hero'.

For the Valkyrie, he didn't have any longing for it anymore.

It's not so much a 'longing', it's better to say that he himself has recognized one thing clearly: the Valkyrie is an enemy, at least to his uncle.

But for Ziegfried himself, they are definitely not 'friends'.

"In short, according to my thinking, if we are not arrogant or impetuous and proceed step by step, even if Gripal is interested in this matter, he will not be able to raise this matter before me, and I will find a suitable opportunity to raise it. Something about North Sea pirates."

Yes, step by step.

"I don't think this kind of thing should be rushed. Time is not a problem for us." He looked at his Uncle Hodder and his expression, "Is this okay?"

To be honest, he is a little uneasy now, because he doesn't know if his words will be recognized.

Because he knew that, compared to himself, the one who had the deepest obsession with this should be the sage Hodder.

Chapter 29: Fear Corrodes Will Confidence

Siegfried knows one thing well:

It is not I who has a strong killing intent towards the Netherlands and the Hengding family today, but the sage Hodder.

For him, Siegfried, attacking the Netherlands, killing Legney and finally ascending to the throne, at most it would completely revive the Volsung family and be crowned king himself.

If anything, it was an advantage for him: in a short period of time, he could sleep well.

At least no one will think about his sword and life, and he can return to the city of Volsung where he grew up.

However, for Hodder, the significance of this event is greater.

For Huode, the sage of the Volsung family and Siegmund's close friend, this is revenge, and it is the end of his "obsession" that he has persisted for more than 20 years.
