You and me under the world tree

Finally, Hodder returned to the game with a flash of light.

At the same time, what greets the eyes is the gorgeous and magnificent city.

In this version, the Volsung family has returned, Siegfried has become king, and the city has naturally been renovated.

"The main city has become so beautiful. It wasn't treated like this when Siegmund ruled, right?"

As Huo De walked all the way on the gorgeous street, he could hear the players' sighs and admiration from time to time.

"Look! At the entrance of the mausoleum, isn't that stele and statue very cool?"

Chapter 5: Scumbag

For a period of time after the version was updated, many players faithfully fulfilled their obligations as ruthless customs clearance machines, and first experienced the updated content.

As far as they are concerned, they are already tired of the big map of Midgard.

Even, they don't want to follow the official instructions to experience the new plot of the Gothic Kingdom.

Compared to these, they hoped to go to Jotunheim to open a large map and have a good look at the world of giants.

However, although such people are the mainstream, they can even create rare sights such as mighty "player tour groups".

However, they definitely do not represent all the players, because the players who entered the game first also have plot parties, and those people have already headed towards the Gothic Kingdom.

As for some people, they stayed in place.

In fact, they don't want to rush to experience the new plot. Compared with these, they are more willing to wait for the strategy compiled by the bosses, or even watch the analysis of the plot by the bosses.

And the reason why they will enter the game for the first time is because what they want to experience is that kind of 'change'.

It may be some changes at the village level, or it may be a new town or fortress.

Of course, for the players, the most eye-catching thing is the brand new Skywrath King City.

Because from the first expansion piece [The Rise of Volsunger], this is the real center, even players who are not from the Netherlands camp should have a very deep impression of this city.

And after Siegfried ascended the throne, the city even ushered in a renovation, which will inevitably make players feel happy and envious.

So for a while, the refurbished Netherlands map was full of players.

Leaving aside the surrounding villages and small towns, as the central area, City of Wrath of Sky is full of people, comparable to a scenic spot during the peak tourist season.

At this moment, Huo De actually had such a small pride in his heart.

However, for him who likes to be quiet, this kind of scene will inevitably make people feel a little bad:

Are you here to see the city or the people?

And finally, under this squeeze, a stampede happened.

In short, I don't know what happened. A player was squeezed into the shop, and then he directly stepped on the NPC in the shop.

And this behavior was directly judged as 'intentional injury', and then the guards were dispatched.

"What did I hear!"

"You should never have come here!"

"Wait! I know you!"

"Odin curses you!"

"You have violated the majesty of His Majesty the King and the laws of the Netherlands! Put down your arms! Capture without a fight!"

If he is arrested by the guards, not only will his equipment be confiscated, but he will even have to pay a large sum of gold coins to redeem his equipment and freedom. This is something most players do not want to see.

Therefore, the player who accidentally stepped on the NPC wanted to escape from the beginning.

And when he saw the guards approaching aggressively, he began to panic.

And after he casually pushed a person beside him towards the guards, the chaos completely swept away.

I don't know who started it first. A conflict broke out between the players first, and then the NPC was involved.

Finally, the guards began to sweep across the chaotic battlefield.

"Wait a minute! I am your baron! I have the merit of being a dragon!"

Of course, in this chaos, some people wanted to use their identities to escape.

This approach is naturally possible, but it is too confusing to hold back.

Those guards were called to stop by some players with high reputation, but because they were attacked and accidentally injured again, they started to act again.

If it is the real world, law enforcement officers can frighten the audience with just a little deterrence.

However, this is a game after all.

Most of the players are pretentious and feel that they are the protagonists. In addition, these guards don't have the scruples that the real police have, so soon, this becomes a kind of massacre.

Some people chose to surrender, so they were quickly sent to the prison, while more people who chose to resist were quickly slaughtered.

All of a sudden, blood flowed like a river in the magnificent city.

After seeing this scene, the corners of Hodder's mouth under the helmet couldn't help twitching.

Those guards obviously have extremely high intelligence. Although their action patterns seem rigid, they strictly follow everything they protect.

As far as Huo De knew the mechanism of these guards, they would never leave, so the next thing to do was to guard the corpse.

To put it simply, it is to defend until those players who are not afraid of death surrender...

"These people are very tough, so this scuffle will definitely continue for a while."

At this moment, Hodder heard a voice.

And when he followed the sound, he saw a woman with a longbow on her back.

She has a slender figure and a beautiful face, and it is worth mentioning that, like Dietrich, she may have modified her hair, but she has not modified her appearance much.

And Hodder is also familiar with this guy.

It should be said that they can be said to be old acquaintances.

"Long time no see." Facing the woman's smiling gaze, Huo De said, "Old Luo."

"Well, when you think about it, it's been a long time since we've seen each other."

Compared with the calmness and complexity shown by Hodder, the woman called 'Lao Luo' took a step forward, and walked to his side carelessly.

Then, naturally, she held out her hand.

However, just when she was about to hold Huo De's arm, the black-armored warrior took a step back.

"Tsk tsk."

As for this, Loki didn't say anything, just a teasing smile appeared on her face.

"Still the same as before? I've said it many times, I'm a real girl."

"It doesn't have anything to do with gender or anything, I just feel like we have a lot to talk about."

At this moment, the woman who called herself Loki raised her eyebrows.

"Well, it looks like you really learned a lot from that girl Dietrich."

At first, she said so, but then, she changed her words.

"No, based on what I know about you, it should be said that you got something out of Dietrich. She should have been 'tortured' by you quite badly, right?"

Between the words, the woman who called herself Loki showed a sense of cynicism.

Moreover, perhaps because Hodder had communicated with the real Loki, when he met his former netizen again, he always felt that he could find a little shadow from her.

No, this should not be called a shadow.

Sometimes Hodder felt like they were one person.

However, this kind of thing cannot be directly concluded.

So in the end, Hodder just shrugged.

"How could I be willing to torture her? If possible, I don't even want to force her."

Finally, Howard shook his head.

"So, I didn't ask her much about some things, I didn't even ask her about you."

"Wow, scumbag, don't force your wife, but in the end you came to force me, didn't you?"

"One question and one answer, there is no such thing as coercion, and you came here by yourself."

"Hey, you..."

Staring at Hodder's appearance wearing a battle helmet, Loki obviously wanted to say something more, but finally shook his head.

"It's still fun before, but it's uncomfortable no matter how you look at it now."

Chapter 6: What a wicked woman

I don't know whether it's acting skills or natural escape.

In short, at this moment, Loki couldn't help showing a touch of nostalgia and remembrance on his face, it seemed that he really missed Hodder's performance.

"Even though he still looks so young, he turns out to be like a bad old man. He still looks good with his old vigor."

However, in the face of Loki's playful smile, Hodder was unmoved.

Not to mention the fact that the helmet concealed his face, his expression under the helmet did not change at all.

Then, he calmly pointed out Loki's emotions at the moment.

"What you care about is never the past. After all, you just like the feeling of controlling others."

When talking about this, Hodder paused.

"I can understand the feeling, there is a sense of security in having everything in your hands, but you have to be more extreme because you enjoy it."

Yes, whether it was the god of trickery who was the son of thunder, or the woman standing in front of him now who seemed to have no abnormalities.

If Hodder hadn't been spying and even had some understanding of the woman in front of him, maybe he would really have regarded her as the same person as the former god of tricks.

"To put it bluntly, you are like a child, you like to control everything around you, and when you are beyond your control, you want to find a place."

This is totally childish.

Perverse personality, not playing cards according to common sense.

When such a person faces an enemy, he will turn into a poisonous snake, wait for an opportunity to lurk, and deliver a fatal blow.

Because they don't have any dignity at all, even if they are rubbed round and flattened by others, they will not have any opinions, but will respond with a smile, just like a cheap bone.

However, when facing a partner, such a person will be uncharacteristically.

Because they don't know how to bear it, as long as there is something uncomfortable, even if it is an unintentional mistake, even if there is no fault in theory, they will directly go back.

Moreover, this kind of backlash is never positive, because of their own childishness, they will make people feel uncomfortable when they speak, and they are often yin and yang.

Just like now, the woman who called herself Loki showed such an attitude in front of Hodder.

"Actually, it's not interesting, Lao Luo."

"Tsk..."

And when Hodder began to analyze her emotions and thoughts expressionlessly, Loki suddenly lost that eccentric interest.

I always feel like I'm falling behind.

In the end, she completely restrained the playful smile on her face, and a childish discontent appeared on her face.

"Okay, I know you're smart."

She said in a low voice, which seemed to admit what Huo De said.

This kind of person is just like that.

To put it bluntly, she started to get angry before to vent her dissatisfaction, and the purpose was naturally to see her gaffe.

It doesn't matter what emotion the person is showing—anger, rage, or even embarrassment.

Anyway, as long as it can make people's mentality unbalanced, then she will feel happy.

After all, she's been doing it for fun.
