You and me under the world tree

You once said that you would take me to your hometown after my death.

You once joked with me about what you would do if I 'leave' you.

Maybe it's because people are really getting old, and Gripal's character is not as determined and decisive as he was when he was young.

Once his thoughts started to run, even he himself couldn't stop, and even in the end, it seemed that his daughter was gone from his eyes, only his wife who had taken the first step.

Speaking of which, he seemed to have told Hodder a little about his wife before, but in fact he didn't say all of it himself.

In fact about his wife's prophecy, that was the only 'prophecy' he ever got wrong, because he misinterpreted what he saw.

Because of the common sense of the lifespan of humans and giants, he always thought that the sign of his wife leaving him was because he had passed away.

It's not that his wife leaves him, but that he leaves his wife.

It is also for this reason that he can accept what his wife said with peace of mind:

"It's okay, we can cherish the rest of the time."

but why?Why did you walk in front of me?

Why did you cruelly abandon me and Hilda and left alone?

This is simply a joke. After a giant with a lifespan close to that of a god fell in love with a human with only a hundred years of time, he actually walked ahead of human beings.

There's nothing funnier than this, isn't it...

A wise man's thoughts are always fast and jumping.

This was originally an excellent thinking habit, but when thinking about such sad things, it became an unsolvable situation.

Thinking about it carefully, his wife's magic attainments are also higher than his. Even, his wife learned to read the No.18 rune from the kings of giants.

Presumably at that time, she should have learned about her condition through divination, and it can even be said that she foresaw the final outcome.

Gronru...

"call……"

With the name of his lover lingering in his mind, Griple gradually closed his eyes.

In the eyes of the daughter Hilda, this scene was a bit confusing, because in just a few seconds, she had no idea what happened.

From her perspective, it was as if her father suddenly became sentimental.

She even felt that she was wrong.

"Father..." she called softly

At this moment, she felt uneasy because she didn't know if it was because of herself.

Even at this time, she had begun to think back on what she had said.

Did I say something wrong, that's why my father behaved like this?

But this is impossible!

After going through the words he said before in his mind, a strong desire to complain appeared in the bottom of Hilda's heart.

She was sure of one thing: she absolutely didn't say any other superfluous words.

So what's going on here?

Just as Her Royal Highness' thoughts gradually began to become entangled, the old king finally broke free from his own memories.

At this time, he just stretched out his hand, and then gently stroked his good daughter's head.

In the end, Griple's behavior touched his childish self-esteem.

"Father... Dad, I've grown up!" After avoiding her father's palm, she couldn't help saying

At this, Griple just shook his head.

"Xiluda, things like ideas can be changed, and getting along is a process of adaptation."

Gripal's voice echoed, appearing kind and distant.

Chapter 62: The Rationale Behind

=

After all, Gripal is an elderly person, and at the age of fifty, he naturally has his own unique understanding of how people get along.

And he was right.

After all, the so-called concept is just a kind of cognition and summary of people's own experience and things around them.

When life experiences come together in the mind, so-called concepts are naturally born.

People are growing, life experience will continue to increase, and the behavior of thinking will be repeated.

So things like concepts will naturally change and improve as people grow and experience more, and they are always linked to their own experiences.

Not to mention the relationship between people.

In terms of personality and cognition, everyone is like an irregular cube, with flaws and outstanding strengths.

Such deficiencies and strengths do not necessarily refer to personal abilities, but actually include a collection of personal abilities, personality, and one's own perception of the outside world.

After all, this refers to the 'person'.

Except for those witches and wizards who are willing to live in seclusion deep in the forest or on an isolated island, people always have contact with others in their daily life.

find a partner on the go

Buying supplies at the bazaar

The above two behaviors seem to be very different, and even when compared, it will make people feel that the latter is insignificant.

But in fact, the essence of the two is the same, because this is a kind of communication with people.

Don't think that when you go out to buy things and buy things according to the price tag, you can't communicate with others. After all, whether you open your mouth or not only determines the depth of communication.

After all, this is a human society, unless one finds a secluded place deep in the mountains and old forests and is self-sufficient, otherwise contact with others will always be unavoidable.

And it is in this kind of contact that it is inevitable to meet some people who can develop various relationships.

Enemies, rivals, friends, lovers...

If these interpersonal relationships are compared to thin threads, then people are 'mummy' entangled by these thin threads.

Moreover, these threads are long and short, the long ones can be stretched to a very long distance, and the short ones can even make people touch each other or even stick together tightly.

In this case, the edges and corners of the body based on the character will be polished.

And this polishing process is not passive, but an active process.

Because people live for themselves is the limit after all, and it is also monotonous.

However, Gripal believes that when a person really accepts another person in his heart, his whole person will undergo a completely different transformation than usual.

The edges and corners that are easy to sting the people around will gradually become smooth, and the real sharp weapon will be stretched in the direction that will not sting the people around, to resist foreign enemies.

This is the sign of growth and maturity...

Griple's experience of life was like this, so he would just laugh at Hilda's attitude.

When she started emphasizing that she was grown up, the old king realized that she was still a child.

Because only a really childish person cares a lot about his age.

Because they care about their own identities, and they care about others treating themselves as children.

In this case, the little ones who keep emphasizing that they have grown up are far from mature emotionally.

However, Hilda is only 20 years old after all.

Although she has worked hard enough and never deserted when she was really studying, she is still a flower in the greenhouse after all.

She still needs to grow up...

Also because of this, Griple would not say much.

Because some things can't be completely settled by just relying on his words, Hilda's own cognition can only be changed through her own growth.

But how is she going to grow up?

Griple, who is proficient in divination and prophecy, has always remained silent on this point.

At his level, he only needs a hair from his daughter...not even a hair. As long as he wants, he can learn about his daughter's future through divination and other magic at any time.

However, he dared not.

He can ignore the fate of a stranger, and even laugh about his daughter's best friend.

In the final analysis, the life and death of other people has nothing to do with him. Even if he calculates that Nanna will die on the street the next day, he will probably remain silent and will not express any opinion on it.

However, there are too many things involved in this matter about Hilda himself.

This is his only daughter, a daughter who should have died young, but was brought back by his wife Gong Lu in exchange for her life.

For Gripal, Hilda is not only his daughter, but also the continuation of his wife Gonglu's life. The meaning of her is definitely not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

But what if there are more reasons?

Remembering the divination that the sage Hodder once asked, Griple wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

When the corner of his mouth was raised, his expression was extremely complicated.

"Oh." Finally, he just sighed.

Some things are still 'natural'.

This way of looking for 'spoilers' is basically killing people for him.

"Some things, you will understand later."

In the end, he just said so to Hilda, but his tone caused Mo to be dissatisfied.

"Of course I understand this kind of thing." She pouted, "It's not like I don't have friends."

Then, Hilda turned his attention to the best friend next to him.

"Right, Nanna?"

Hilda threw the topic to Nanna just like that.

This is actually a very normal behavior, because people will naturally seek the approval of "fellows" around them when they feel that they lack confidence.

Even, this cannot be said to be seeking approval.

After all, Hilda's behavior was just seeking support. Once Nanna expressed her support, she would have the confidence to talk back to her father.

But at this time, Her Royal Highness Princess of the Kingdom of Norway has a dull expression on her goose-egg-like face, which makes people wonder if she is wandering away.

"Nanna!"

Finally, amidst Hilda's slightly anxious voice, she finally recovered.

But at this moment, she couldn't help looking at Hilda with complicated eyes.

This is a look that is mainly envious, mixed with various other emotions.

After all, Nanna is not Hilda. Compared with the latter's nervousness in some aspects, her mind can be said to be quite delicate.

And more importantly, compared to Hilda who is the 'subject', she can see the current situation more clearly from the perspective of a 'bystander'.

It is not a normal situation in itself for a king to pay so much attention to heroes from afar.

And more importantly, he also specifically tried to correct his daughter's cognition here, and even encouraged his daughter to have a good relationship with people like Siegfried...

The reasons behind these actions are self-evident, aren't they?

Chapter 63: The Little Thoughts of a Princess

Nanna's reaction was actually not too slow. During the time when Gripal was talking to her daughter, she had already sorted out everything from beginning to end based on her guess.

This is certainly not an orthodox reasoning, because Nanna's thinking is not linear at all.

Compared with the authentic straight-line reasoning based on the existing evidence, she is now completely resubstituting her sudden guesses into the previous actions.

Remember how Griple did it?

As Hilda's best friend, Nanna's usual activities in Iceland and Yangang basically revolve around Hilda. After all, the two of them have been friends since childhood.
