You and me under the world tree

To be honest, Herwalla wasn't sure about that, and that was what made her feel bad.

Obviously, the former outsider's intentions will be quite obvious in the dialogue, but the sage of Volsunger is too independent in terms of behavior, and his whereabouts are erratic.

And more importantly, when talking to him, He Huale will have a heavy sense of pressure.

This kind of pressure may come from the crushing on the experience level, or it may just be Hewalle's own psychological pressure.

"In other words, this trip, no matter what the result is, is a good thing for the abandoned port."

Yep, that's why Hawaler actually asked to travel with him.

This answer does not come from any trust.

Because he lived in this dark environment since he was a child, Hevale, who has been dealing with foreign messengers from the kingdom, tends to be suspicious.

However, she is willing to take risks for the entire abandoned port.

If the purpose of the sage in Volsunger is simply to establish a good relationship with himself, who has royal blood, so that he can play the favor card in the future, then it doesn't matter.

But is this possible?

The sage used to calculate almost the entire Hengding family in various ways while talking and laughing until the strong population withered, leaving only the last two or three kittens.

According to the few remaining veterans, Sage was an even more ruthless man than Siegmund.

Because Siegmund is a standard warrior, he at least pays attention to glory and has the most basic sense of honor.

But the sage...

Although it was just heard, but according to what Hewale heard from the veterans, this old man did not have any sense of honor.

"That's it."

In the end, Hewale gradually restrained his thoughts.

She just cast her eyes on the man standing on her right: Ragnar.

"Ragnar, if something happens to me, you will be the next leader of the abandoned port. You must find a way out for our soldiers and our families here."

What is the reliable way out? Of course, it is the Volsung family that still maintains a cooperative relationship.

However, even if he was named as the next leader, Ragnar did not have any joy.

"Sister, this matter can be entrusted to me. If the purpose is to retrieve His Majesty Angentyr's magic sword Tyrfing and His Majesty's bones, I can also complete this matter."

Ragnar is the leader of the new generation of young people in the abandoned port. As the battle captain, he is not weak in terms of combat effectiveness, and he also has a very high status in the abandoned port.

Theoretically speaking, it is the best choice for him to act together with the sage on behalf of Hewale.

Even, this is no longer a rhetoric of 'choice', under normal circumstances, it is correct to do so.

After all, they are still in a cooperative relationship. As long as Hewale is still here, they will definitely not mess around. After all, no one likes to step over the line.

But what exactly is the big sister's behavior?

"Let's just leave it at that. I know exactly how much I am. Ragnar, regarding the 'leader', you are actually better than me, and you have a wife and children."

Then, when Hewale mentioned this, Ragnar's body tensed up.

The young soldier couldn't help raising his head, and glanced at the woman standing on the left hand side of the elder sister's head.

Shield Maiden Lagoza, at this moment, her lower abdomen is already showing signs of a little bulge.

However, it is worth mentioning that, compared to the nervousness shown by Ragnar and the surrounding fighters, Ragoza's expression did not change much.

In other words, she was one of the few people present who was not rhythmic.

And at this time, Lagoza just watched the expression of his Highness.

His Highness's expression is very complicated now, he doesn't seem to be impassioned, and even has a sense of relief like a sigh of relief.

It seems strange, but it is natural.

So in the end, she just coughed lightly.

"I think things may not be as bad as you think."

The shield maiden looked around at those people gathered in the giant ship.

These people are generally men, because in the abandoned port, it is difficult for women to get any protection. Even if they have been given preferential treatment, not everyone has the physical fitness like Hewale or Lagosa.

Therefore, most of the positions in the abandoned port are filled by men.

But there's a problem here.

Whether young or old, most of these people are just fighters, because those who survive here can only be brutal fighters.

They may be lacking in observation ability after traveling around all the year round, so when Hewale speaks like that, they will naturally think towards the worst.

"Everyone, don't forget what kind of person Siegfried is." Lagossa said, "Although this period of time is not long, that warrior has helped us a lot. I am willing to believe his words. This behavior is from the kindness of the heart."

Finally, she turned her gaze to her husband.

"Ragnar, you should have a sense and understanding of this."

Siegfried, this young warrior has been quite happy with them recently.

"He's a good fighter who keeps his promises."

"And to be able to cultivate such a character, I don't think the sage is too bad. At least I believe in 'precepts and deeds'."

Then, she coughed lightly.

"Maybe you are too busy to know. Recently, the sage of Volsung has been helping to take care of the children. This is not his obligation, but he still does it."

"Lagoza, are you speaking for the Volsung family?"

Then, someone in the crowd said something like this, and these soldiers expressed doubts like this.

"Don't forget, you are His Highness's shield girl."

"It is precisely because I am His Highness's shield girl that I am explaining the most basic fact here. Is there any problem?"

Then, no one answered.

Although human beings conform to the crowd, after all, each has its own ideas.

At this moment, their eyes couldn't help turning between Ragoza and Ragnar.

They are husband and wife...

But in the end, no one can say anything.

"Let's leave it at that."

"But Your Highness..."

"enough."

Chapter 41: Actually we'll be back soon

In the end, the matter finally came to an end.

Although the abandoned port does not have a clear class division, Herwalla is the undisputed leader, and this position has been established since she was a child.

Thanks to the efforts of the mother and the soldiers who were loyal to the previous king, the entire abandoned port has been a place for descendants of the royal family from the very beginning.

And now, after the death of his frail and poor martial arts queen mother, Hewale has also gained a firm foothold in this regard.

There may have been doubts, but there are absolutely no such things now.

So in the final analysis, the purpose of her gathering these cronies under her was to 'announce' rather than 'discuss'.

After finalizing the matter thoroughly, she waved these people down.

Even though those people were unwilling, in the end, there were only three people left in the entire 'Ship of Giants', including He Huale.

Battle Captain Ragnar, Daughter of the Shield Ragotha.

The former, as the most outstanding fighter among the younger generation, received all kinds of care from Hewale from the beginning, which promoted him from the crowd to this position.

She even introduced the shield girl beside her to him, which has always made him very grateful, and the husband and wife are extremely affectionate after they get married.

As for the latter, as the shield maiden of Hewale, her loyalty is beyond doubt.

But even so, after most people dispersed, Ragnar still spoke:

"Lagoza, are you serious about what you just said?"

Ragnar's question thus broke the silence in the giant ship.

But even so, his question did not arouse any turmoil.

It's like a stone thrown into a stagnant pool, but it only has a layer of ripples visible to the naked eye.

Lagoza was not in a hurry to answer these questions of her husband, she just turned her attention to Her Highness the Princess whom she was loyal to.

But at this time, Hewale just bowed his head and said nothing, as if he wanted to keep silent.

In this case, Ragoza can only explain himself.

"Well, actually, I'm not too sure."

"???"

Originally, Ragnar still hoped that his calm wife would give a clear answer, at least this answer would make him feel at ease.

In the end, he actually got such an incoherent answer from his wife?

"Don't be surprised, the human heart is something that is difficult to figure out, let alone the wise man we are facing now."

Seeing his husband's expression as if he had eaten dried shark meat, Lagossa just replied like this.

"It is even more stupid to speculate on the mentality of a wise man and control his emotions."

"Then what you said earlier..."

"As I said, I'm just stating the facts, because the sage has indeed helped a lot in this regard. He helps cook and tell stories, and those children like him very much."

While it's true that there are good and bad faces, children tend to bond with those who seem easy to get along with.

But when a person hides his face, the children have access to nothing but the armor.

To them, that 'uncle' in armor was really nice to them.

"But I think, in fact, it's useless for us to ponder more here, after all, His Highness has made up his mind to go."

After all, it was Herwaller who really prompted Lagoza to say those words.

As a shield girl who grew up with His Highness and studied with the Queen together, Lagossa understands His Highness's character very well.

Once she decides to do something, no one can drag her back.

As for the rest...

Without looking at her husband again, Lagossa finally just set his sights on the silent Highness.

Then, she also showed a complicated expression.

Although I didn't say it directly, and I didn't explain it to my husband.

However, Lagoza did understand what His Royal Highness was thinking.

It's not pessimistic, nor is it worrying about anything.

At this moment, He Huale's mood may tend to be a kind of relief.

Although it was difficult to understand, she did have such an idea in her heart.

…………

On this day, He Huale went to bed very early.

As a price, she interrupted her extremely stable routine for the first time. In theory, she should have gotten up before the sun appeared.

Prepare the required weapons: a shield polished from the bones of sea beasts, an epee for chopping, and commonly used bows and bone spears.

Compared with those heroes who have all kinds of adventures and obtain magical weapons, Hewale has nothing, and these are everything to her.

And after taking inventory of the local weapons she used so often, she put on a metal breastplate and finally her leather coat.

From beginning to end, she did not ask anyone to help.

Then, she went downstairs and waited alone in her 'palace'.

After waiting for a few hours, when even the abandoned port could make the entire northern sea a little brighter because of the sun hanging above the sky, that somewhat familiar figure walked in.
