You and me under the world tree

In the royal palace of Yangang, he once tentatively put forward his own proposal.

He thought that the perfect plan should be able to extract some information he wanted from Gripal without leaving any traces, but it turned out that he was overthinking.

"Uncle, he is smarter than I thought, he has everything..."

"You haven't thought about it at all, have you?"

"emmm..."

Hodder interrupted him rather casually, and at this moment, the look on Siegfried's face became more and more embarrassing.

Because the truth is, as Hodder said, when he explained his plan, he completely forgot Griple's intelligence and character.

To put it simply, he ignored the most important point of "suspicion", and suspicion does not need any reason or cause.

"Uncle, did you know at that time?"

In the end, Siegfried could only hold back such a sentence.

"Well, after all, this is a common mistake young people make."

If you have a little idea, you will forget the actual situation around you, which is probably the case.

"Is it……"

Then, Siegfried understood that this was also a test that his uncle gave him.

To be precise, this is an inevitable mistake.

After all, compared to stopping it in advance, in such a harmless situation, letting him "fall down" himself and feel the tension of the plan being shattered can serve as a wake-up call.

At least after going through this incident, Siegfried felt that he could become more or less careful, and he would definitely not get hotheaded without authorization.

"In addition, your xinxing temper is not enough. I have taught you before that when making any strategic arrangement, you must consider the possibility of its failure."

But it is clear that Siegfried himself failed to do this.

"It is my responsibility……"

"Well, it's good to know."

"Do you need me to explain the cause and effect?"

"Let's mention them all."

"it is good……"

Chapter 50: True Warriors

Although Siegfried is not a bard, he has learned how to summarize what he wants to express in concise words.

Moreover, he is not the kind of headstrong who only conveys what he thinks is important.

Perhaps because he felt that he had no way to determine these things, he finally put aside his own judgment and turned himself into a 'text machine'.

Through the most concise words, he told him all his experiences so far and the people he met.

Fortunately, Huo De has already learned how to extract important information from the text, so he quickly grasped the key points.

"Has he ever recruited you?"

"Well, he said that General Jedir of Iceberg Fortress is getting old and should return to Iceland to live his life."

"And you declined, didn't you?"

"Ah."

"That's right."

"Eh?"

At the moment when Huo De understood this, Siegfried was at a loss. He didn't understand what his uncle understood.

However, before he could ask the question, he realized something.

It's obviously a very simple thing, but sometimes, he just can't think of it.

Therefore, he couldn't help being a little annoyed.

"Wise men never guess something out of thin air. They will not be so stupid as to speak out the fantasy in their minds, because that is meaningless."

"Yes."

When Hodder said that, Siegfried just couldn't help covering his head with his hand.

He understood.

In fact, it wasn't Griple's random guessing, and it was wrong. Thinking about it carefully, it was actually Siegfried's own problem.

As a character who can be said to be 'homeless', he refused his uncle's solicitation and refused to settle in the peaceful Kingdom of Iceland, which only shows that he has his own purpose.

As for traveling around and living in no fixed place, no one actually likes such things.

Griple himself was a wanderer. When he was young, he often ran outside. It can be said that he visited the Atrium World all over, and even traveled through the Iron Forest to Jotunheim in the east.

In this way, he can understand what a "wanderer" with no fixed place really needs: a home and a goal.

The so-called destination is the place that always comes to mind when traveling abroad.

If you feel tired, you can go back and have a good rest, where you don't have to worry about any danger or enemies.

As for the goal, it is the 'expectation' that emerges from the bottom of my heart. After all, traveling must have a purpose.

Some people hope to make meritorious deeds, some people look forward to meeting fierce beasts when they go out, so that they can kill themselves to make a name for themselves, but some people just want to go outside to see the scenery, and no one likes to wander aimlessly.

Based on this, when Siegfried rejected Gripal's seemingly random proposal, he would naturally have some doubts or perceptions in his heart.

"But, I don't think it's my fault." In the end, Siegfried just said in such a low voice.

He also found enough reasons at the time, and the words he used were quite "kingly", which is the rhetoric that young people in the atrium world like to use: I am still young and want to look around.

"This kind of reason is generally unassailable, but sometimes, the speculation and suspicion cannot be stopped."

"Yes……"

"Also, if I'm not wrong, he actually still has doubts before you really admit it."

"It's my fault I didn't think about it."

"It's a psychological game and obviously, you lose."

"sorry."

How are you still chatting?

After hearing what Siegfried said, Hodder couldn't help but stop himself.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh.

"What are you doing apologizing for? It's not a bad thing."

"Because I always feel that I can't keep up with Uncle and Griple's thinking."

This is the most real feeling of Siegfried.

After hearing his uncle's analysis, he even felt that this was an air-to-air confrontation between the sage Hodder and the wise Gripal, and he, a 'newcomer', left the stage halfway.

"The so-called wisdom can be accumulated through experience, you are still young." Faced with Siegfried's remarks, Hodd just said so in the end.

Of course Siegfried can't play strategy with Gripale. It is inevitable that his simple and rude method of using peaceful performance to obtain 'information' safely will be seen through.

So in the beginning, Hodder was not optimistic about his behavior.

However, as he himself said, this is actually not a bad thing.

"Griple is your uncle after all. As I said before, he attaches great importance to the connection between bloodlines. Since he is willing to help you in this regard, you just accept it."

Of course Siegfried knew what help Hodder was referring to: of course it was material help.

Siegfried is well aware of the boundary between interests and family affection. If Siegfried wants to maintain this family relationship and not lose his head, he cannot rely too much on Griple and the entire Kingdom of Iceland.

"I have to rely on myself."

"Well, but there's one thing that's interesting."

"what?"

"He said, he asked you to give advice to Hilda, didn't he?"

"Yes, but that girl has always been strong. If I hadn't had a fight with her today, she probably wouldn't have given me any good looks."

Speaking of this aspect, Siegfried felt a headache.

To be honest, he now regretted accepting such a request from Gripal.

The so-called giving advice, now that I think about it, it seems unnecessary at all, because what the soldier really wants to say is only a few words, and a mature soldier can say it.

"There are so many people in the entire Kingdom of Iceland, I think Jedir in the Iceberg Fortress should be more suitable than me."

"Yes, that's right."

Facing Siegfried's complaints, Hodder also followed the words.

"In the whole Kingdom of Iceland, there are many people who are more suitable than you."

Uncle, what you said is wrong...

Hearing Huo De's straightforward words, Siegfried couldn't help opening his mouth.

Perhaps it was because he heard too many praises and praises from Gripale, and then suddenly heard his uncle's cold and straightforward words again. He always had such an uncomfortable speech.

To put it bluntly, I'm still floating...

Thinking of this, he didn't continue to say anything, but just reached out and scratched the back of his head.

After all, he knew very well that what he and Hilda had said about his experiences and experiences were a bit like talking on paper.

It's not that he can't do it, it's just that he's figuring it out himself.

In the final analysis, this is actually because of the age problem.

The so-called state of mind, the so-called awareness, this kind of thing needs time to polish and settle.

For a soldier, the so-called awareness is not enough to be aware of it, the important thing is whether he can persist.

Thinking of this, Siegfried set his sights on Hodder.

The radiance shown by the young people is just the recklessness of youth. In Siegfried's view, a real warrior should be like his uncle, who knows how to restrain his sharpness with a 'sword scabbard'.

Don't compete with others, and don't need to care about the glory bestowed by others, but when the edge is unsheathed, even gods can kill.

His blade is extremely sharp, as if his target has always been extremely pure.

However, his thoughts will definitely not be expressed, so here is a problem:

"Why did you stop suddenly?"

Chapter 51: The Dog Plan to Dismiss the Beggars

Siegfried has countless thoughts and ideas in his heart, but these are only Siegfried's inner drama after all.

From Hodder's point of view, Siegfried stopped suddenly while walking, and then looked back at him.

Although he didn't really want to say that, his actions were very similar to those of a silly roe deer walking in the jungle, and the look of looking back was exactly the same.

However, the silly roe deer just looks a little silly after all. These little guys are very alert, and of course Siegfried is the same.

He wasn't the uncle who wanted to look back at his uncle halfway through the walk, and he wasn't the kind of child who hadn't grown up yet and relied on the elders in the family.

But one thing is certain, that is, the battle armor worn by his uncle can indeed bring people a sense of peace of mind.

"I'm thinking, it would be great if I could become someone like my uncle in the future."

In the end, he just said the words.

Moreover, this is his sincere thought, without any bragging or nonsense.

After all, people always have a longing for their elders, and for Siegfried, Hodder is a good example.

Although the name of the Volsung family and King Siegmund is extremely famous, for people of Siegfried's generation, the father he has never met is too far away for him.

It was his uncle who taught him magic, taught him swordsmanship, and even helped him until now.

This is a kind of mark, a symbol, and Hodder's every move reveals the breath of a pure warrior.
