You and me under the world tree

Just when Hilda was distressed, Huo De's words attracted their attention, and right in front of them, the sage Huo De showed a smile.

Although he was still wearing a battle armor, what he was holding in his hands were two bowls of cod soup, with bread of course.

"Things haven't reached the point you imagined, so the decision doesn't have to be made so early."

"However, there is no room for maneuver in this kind of thing."

"Whether there is room for maneuver is not up to you. Your Royal Highness, if you want to win Hewale, you don't have to go to that point."

"Really?"

"Well, of course, after all, we don't want her to return to her own kingdom,"

What is the most important thing for Hodder and his team?

Of course it was completely subdued...

The purpose of their trip is to completely use these pirates for their own use.

"If she returns to her kingdom, that's the opposite of what we're aiming for."

Chapter 96: Uncle...

Of course, the words are of course true.

Thinking from the most ideal point of view, it would be best for Hervaleken to directly bring those brave and skilled pirate fighters under his command to join Siegfried's command.

However, the possibility of this situation is actually not high.

Hervale herself has too deep a connection with the land of Norway, even though there is a one-in-a-thousand chance that she has no nostalgia for her homeland.

But what about the people around her?

Twenty years have allowed her to grow from a baby to the point where she can command the so-called pirates, but it is not enough to completely kill the people who hold hatred and hatred in the older generation.

And more importantly, it was these loyal warriors who were loyal to the dead king Angentyr who guarded the once-baby to grow.

Even because of this, He Huale would never let go of that so-called hatred.

Even if she herself has no intention of taking the throne, she must kill the former traitor and coup d'état, the current Norwegian kingdom, Gevarus.

He must be made to repay the sins he once committed, and the pain must be returned in its original form.

Moreover, as far as the individual's mentality is concerned, this kind of "return" is absolutely impossible to simply kill the other party and settle the matter hastily.

Putting aside the character setting of the NPC, and simply judging from the perspective of 'people's hearts'.

Gevarus is definitely the kind of person who would not regret dying [-] times to Hewale. Simply executing or killing the other party is already the easiest way to deal with it.

If the other party is ruthless, or has been overwhelmed by anger, then Hewale wants to do more than settle the relationship.

And what was the cruelest situation for the kings and warriors of Midgard?

The kingdom collapsed, and his family was sentenced to death in front of him. He was powerless to resist and could only cry.

Then, in this situation of breaking the psychological defense line, he will impose punishment on himself, and finally execute the other party.

And this extremely aggrieved way of death will cause the soul of the person involved to fall directly into Helheim, and eventually be unable to survive under the rule of Queen Hela.

This was the greatest revenge and punishment Hod could think of for the warriors of Midgard.

Although I don't know Queen Hela's attitude towards the sick dead and the disgraceful non-war dead, I don't know how those souls lived under her rule.

But the atrium world is a world deeply influenced by the gods after all, and people here generally believe that an honorable death in battle is the best destination.

Regardless of whether they really have the courage to do so, it is not a good thing to be so humiliated and finally killed.

And, most importantly, the people's view of 'death' in Atrium has nothing to do with honor.

It's a strange, contradictory thing, but that's how they think it is.

It is indeed a glory to enter the realm of the gods, but death is death after all. This is simply the best interpretation of the eternal separation between man and nature.

Therefore, even if Hewale is willing to give Gevarus a glorious duel and revenge, the seeds of hatred will be planted in the hearts of those around him.

Hatred is this kind of thing that can never be cut off.

In this situation, in theory, Siegfried and his party have nowhere to go.

Of course Hodder understood this, so what he said just now seemed to be nonsense.

After all, no matter what, Gevarus is going to die after all, whether Hodder and his party execute it on their behalf or let Hewale himself personally put an end to the hatred and obsession.

But it doesn't really matter, after all, his purpose now is to stabilize Hilda.

Although the girl still had doubts, she was not deeply involved in the world after all. On the premise of retaining the most basic attitude of trust, she would not doubt what an elder like Hodder said.

"Is there really a way?"

"Of course, regarding these, both I and your father have detailed and careful arrangements."

After hearing the name of her father, King Gripal, the girl finally felt at ease.

After seeing this scene, Hodder just lowered his head slightly and placed the dinner plate on the table.

At the same time, a strange light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Will that guarantee success?"

At this moment, Hilda seemed to be a machine that could only ask questions, because at this moment, her young heart was unable to allow her to make a decision in this regard.

Placing hope on other people's guarantees or words, what kind of consequences will this kind of behavior bring, the young Hilda may not realize the seriousness of this point.

However, at this moment, the 'trust' she subconsciously handed over will be rewarded.

Because Huo De would not harm her, no matter what position he stood on, he hoped that Hilda would be fine.

"It's not clear. If you know enough, this matter is actually easy to deal with."

"Since His Majesty the Sage has a plan with his father, won't my return to Iceland destroy my father's plan?"

In the end, Her Highness Hilda found a reason enough for her to stay.

But judging from her expression, she probably didn't know whether it was because she wanted to stay or for some other reason.

Her head was stuffed with a huge amount of information, and she was still digesting what she knew.

She just put the bread on the Icelandic cod soup, mouthful like a robot.

At this moment, the dragon slaying hero sitting face to face with her inevitably showed some doubts.

Uncle Gripal has a plan with his own uncle?

In fact, when he heard his uncle say these words, Siegfried couldn't help showing a look of astonishment.

Because he had never heard of it.

Hilda may not know it, but although the sage Hod's traces are erratic, he has only been here three times theoretically.

The first time I brought Siegfried along for a visit, and the second and third times were this morning.

And during this time, Siegfried knew the content of their conversation.

The only time I didn't know was the time in the study, but that time, Hodder didn't talk for long with the old king Gripal.

What exactly did they talk about?

Siegfried couldn't think of it at all.

These two people are simply monsters, and experience has endowed them with wisdom that young people can't understand at all.

Did they really talk about that?

The young dragon-slaying hero wanted to ask out the doubts in his mind.

But Hilda was still present at the moment, so after moving his lips for a while, he still didn't make a sound.

"Eat it first, if you don't eat it, it will be cold." Facing Siegfried's puzzled gaze, Hodder said, "Besides, when this ship enters the northern waters, you won't be able to be so leisurely."

"Yeah." The young soldier nodded slowly

Of course Siegfried understood, at least he had heard a little bit about the northern waters, and the level of brutality over there was not comparable to the current situation where the sky is clear and the sea is bright.

Whether it is a dark environment or the beasts and ghouls wandering in it, one must be vigilant and pay attention to it.

In other words, someone must be on guard and watching from outside the ship.

Therefore, he couldn't help speeding up his meal.

"You have to work harder, because I can't help you here all the time."

"Um……"

There seemed to be something wrong with these words, so Siegfried couldn't help but raise his head again.

But at this moment, Hodder had turned his back to him.

"I'm going to blow some air outside the boat, and I'll walk around here by the way."

"Ok?"

Under Siegfried's slightly surprised eyes, Hodder had already pushed open the wooden door.

He didn't seem to have any intention of eating.

"uncle?"

For a moment, Siegfried felt a palpitation inexplicably.

He didn't know what was going on, but his instincts panicked inexplicably.

Then, he put down the hot soup and bread, and rushed out of the captain's cabin.

His movements were so loud that he even startled the pensive Hilda all at once.

"Siegfried?" she called

But at this moment, Siegfried could no longer hear, he just looked around.

The sky is still clear, the sea is still calm, but there is no sign of anyone on the deck.

He went to various places along the stairs, but he did not find the sage.

"uncle?"

He couldn't help clenching his fist.

At this moment, he felt a little bad feeling in his heart.

What did the sense of panic before mean?

He thought he finally understood.

"hateful……"

He reached out to cover his heart.

The feeling of inexplicable loss and sadness emerged instantly.

Speaking of which, is Uncle really human?

Why has my uncle's whereabouts been erratic?

At this moment, Siegfried's heart was filled with those not-so-good thoughts.

Chapter 97: Perception Gap

On the other hand, Hodder didn't know what happened to Siegfried.

Because what he said was true, he did want to visit the ship in a way.

So he really wandered around the ship in a state of gazing around. After looking around the stables and other facilities in the ship, he followed the system's prompts and left the mission scene.

In fact, with Hodder's own strength, it is not difficult to use magic to walk and gallop on the water.

For wizards, they can travel anywhere, except that they can't fly to high altitudes with their own strength, such as climbing a steep cliff directly, crossing a raging river alone, etc. It can be done.

But he didn't know that Siegfried chased him out just because of a momentary thought, and he had some inexplicable doubts about his existence after searching the whole ship without finding him.

However, even if Huo De knew it himself, he would probably only reply silently: think too much.

But at this time, Hodder himself didn't have much time to think about these things.

Lying in the game cabin with the game turned off, the words he said to Hilda had been lingering in his mind.
