You and me under the world tree

Because he seemed to have made a blunder, which offended the gods, he was later relegated to mortal status.

And that tree was planted at that time, for the city: the city built by the tribe of Irfin itself was expanded around his original castle.

And this tree has been passed down from the time of the Irfin tribe to this day.

But because it is only a few hundred years old, it is still just a 'children's tree'.

"This tree...does he only recognize you as the 'God of War'?"

After trying again and confirming that he really couldn't pull out the sword, Seward couldn't help asking.

God of War...

This was the nickname of the former Irfin tribe, and this title was given by Xiji himself.

But at first, this title was not actually a commendatory compliment, but an almost derogatory fact.

Because among the Asa protoss, as long as they are the children of Odin, the king of the gods, they can be called the God of War, and Xiji himself is the God of War who was exiled in the world because of mistakes.

But no matter what this title used to be, at least now, the Irfin tribe founded by Xiji has long since disappeared.

Since Sigil, the former King of Goths, used his son-in-law to murder the prosperous family in order to seek the Holy Sword of God's Wrath, only Siegmund and Zigny remained.

After Siegmund rebuilt his own family, only the 'Volsung' named after his father remained.

"Are you suspicious of 'Barnstock'?"

"After all, this tree looks quite special." When he said this, Seward could not help but patted the trunk of the tree of children with his other hand, "Perhaps, this is the tallest tree in the atrium world. The tree is gone, it's hard to feel like it's just a 'baby'."

Then the sage raised his head slightly.

With Seward watching, he looked up to the treetops in Barnstock.

As Seward said, the Barnstock was indeed the tallest tree in the courtyard.

Hodder still remembered the records in the setting book that Barnstock used to have a special palace, which was a tree surrounded by the palace.

But later, the tree hit the ceiling of the palace because it was still growing, and the palace was demolished and turned into a garden.

Even now, it has not stopped growing.

In Huo De's impression, it is obviously higher than the previous version.

"No one knows the origin of this tree, Sivard, but it was proved long ago that it chose the king and warrior of the Netherlands," he said, "and no one can draw the sword from it."

Regardless of men, women, young or old, in this land, the heroic stories that suppressed an era are still being circulated.

That man's life was full of legends.

And the original origin is the story of "taking the sword from the tree".

At that time, he was not outstanding among his brothers, but he took out the holy sword Gulam from the tree.

"Ok."

Finally, Seward said nothing more.

He easily let go of his hand, then shrugged helplessly.

"It seems that I have no connection with the land of the Netherlands."

Seward then turned and walked away.

After that, Hodder once again turned his attention to the three brothers who had been watching here.

"Children of Glenmar, do you want to try it? This holy sword that once slaughtered the Hengding family is here."

Then, the son of Glenmar didn't intend to move.

The eldest brother Hood Brod took a step forward, he was a little moved, but he cast hesitant eyes on his brother.

But the warlike Starkard showed a look of impatience. He did not have a castle like his two elder brothers.

However, he has always listened to the words of his two brothers, so he has no intention of taking any action at this moment.

In the end, Gudmond, the most eloquent, raised his head.

"Sivard is the best king except for the King of Wartooth. If even he can't pull out this sword, then I really have to doubt the standard of 'selection'."

The reason why the Wartooth King of ancient Denmark is the best king is because his life is full of legends.

Whether he ascended the throne at the age of 15 or almost unified most of the atrium, the system of the so-called 'Supreme King' and the lords of various kingdoms was truly established.

The Wartooth King is such a person, and Sivard, who succeeds the Wartooth King to the Danish throne, is also an extremely good king.

Even, if he hadn't set himself on fire later, no one could guarantee whether he would become the second 'battle tooth'.

In fact, as Gudmund said, if even such a person cannot pull out the holy sword, then choosing the king is just a joke.

However, in the face of Gudmond's sarcasm, Hodder was unmoved.

Even now, he reached out and patted his breastplate as if shaking dust.

"As I said, this is a tradition left over from the time of Siegmund, and this is the rule set by the king of the gods." He said, "It was he who inserted the holy sword into this child Among the trees, are you doubting this?"

Then Gudmond was speechless.

Huo De used the tiger skin of the king of gods to talk nonsense from the very beginning, and they couldn't find a foothold to refute no matter what.

Then, as they remained silent, Howard finally laughed.

"In addition, I finally understand why you were defeated. You Hengding family... have been like this since the old thing of Hengding (Hunding), and you have no aggressiveness at all."

Then, at this moment, Gudmond suddenly felt as if he was facing a fierce beast.

Like Simfi Otley...

Do not!

Seriously, this is an even more violent beast than Simfi Otley!

Under the cloak and from the gap in the helmet, there was a scarlet glow like a pool of blood.

"You guys will always be on your knees to look at the person who once directed the situation."

Finally, the sage flung back his cloak, and he turned his gaze to the others.

"I'm not interested in cowards, are there any warriors willing to try?"

Chapter 23: Initially

There was a commotion outside the palace.

It wasn't some kind of loud noise, but the muffled sound of metal boots trampling the ground.

If you listen to it alone, the sound is certainly not loud, but when the sound begins to emerge on a large scale, this slightly noisy sound will show a unique momentum.

'click click click click'

When such a voice directly entered the palace, Siegfried and Hagen, who were still walking in the corridors of the palace, couldn't help turning their heads.

The corridors of the palace are not straight in design, and I don't know what nerves are going on in Legny's mind. During the time from the entrance to the hall, Siegfried and the others have already turned several corners.

And under this kind of twists and turns, the dull but clear voice outside the door formed a series of echoes in the palace.

And when the dull collision sound spread into the corridor inside the palace, a gloomy and strange atmosphere even began to reverberate around.

"Humph."

Siegfried couldn't help laughing as he listened to the eerie crash that pierced his ears.

And after noticing such an expression from His Highness whom he was loyal to, Hagen also smiled.

"In this way, your reputation will be greatly increased. After all, only you are the real king of the Netherlands."

"Just a little trick."

After hearing Hagen's flattery, Siegfried's complexion didn't change much.

He is no ordinary hero.

Even in this respect, he may be 'better' than his father.

However, is this considered excellent?

Even Siegfried himself could not judge this point.

Under the influence of his uncle's precepts and deeds, he is different from others now, he will not make rash judgments on these things.

Not so reckless, for better or worse.

Therefore, he will not be complacent because of Hagen's flattery.

Although he wasn't distorted to the point where he didn't like to listen to other people's flattery, some things sounded like a joke.

What is the true king of the Netherlands, what is the chosen hero...

This kind of boasting and praise may pass through his heart, but it will definitely not leave any traces, let alone stop there.

Even at this moment, there was such an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"Some things are really self-taught. As long as you stand in this position, you will naturally want to magnify your own advantages. It is understandable to use strategies and use previous legends."

complex……

Thinking about it now, Siegfried couldn't quite understand his own feelings.

If you insist, you can only say that he himself has changed.

This change is reflected in the mentality.

And if it was more than five months ago, he would never have thought that he would really be so proficient.

Is it a natural conspirator, or is it the influence of his uncle who is a sage?

To be honest, he didn't know this.

Then, he clenched his fists.

At least, he understands one thing.

"My thoughts have not changed from the beginning to the end." Siegfried said seriously, looking at the warrior who was much shorter than himself.

Then, Hagen showed a puzzled look.

"His Highness's initial thought?"

Hagen's thinking was the same as that of most people. When Siegfried was sprinting towards the highest position in the Netherlands—the highest position that at least once belonged to his father and brother, they would not think that there was something in it. Any other ideas.

Because even if you exclude all kinds of ingredients, becoming a king is a great honor in itself.

Not to mention, the throne itself also symbolizes power.

Nobody, not even Siegfried, doesn't want to have power because it's a temptation in itself.

But right now, Hagen felt as if he could hear something else in the words.

So at this moment, he couldn't help blinking his eyes.

Are there other hidden secrets in this?

"Your Highness..."

"It's not something worth promoting, just a trivial idea."

Yes, a trivial thought.

But it is precisely because of the original wish that he has the motivation to move forward.

Even, because of that wish, his ambition never expanded.

"Your Highness..."

On the other hand, Hagen was already confused by these things.

His dynamics are slightly different.

Hagen didn't want to be judged because of his illegitimate child status, and he didn't want to be labeled unnecessary because of his dwarf blood.

If anything, he had such a smug air about him.

He knew that there was absolutely no way for him to use what he had learned in Burgundy, so he left the motherland where he had no feelings at all, crossed the country alone and came to the Netherlands.

As for discovering that Siegfried is an excellent monarch and one who can delegate power, that is something for another time. His original purpose was to prove his extraordinaryness.

Hagen was undoubtedly a proud man.
