You and me under the world tree

He is not so good as to look for the original version everywhere, or even look for the English translation with the professor's annotations and interpretations, but he has indeed read the things he can get in touch with.

So even if he is an amateur, he has a partial understanding of these.

Moreover, this is indeed how the world works.

Whether it is a god, a human, or a giant, as long as it is a living thing, it always has two parts.

One represents everything outside including the body, which can be regarded as pure flesh and blood (Hamr).

One represents the internal circulation including the soul and spiritual will, which can be regarded as the soul (Líkamr) in a more popular way.

And the combination of the two is the 'life' or 'life' in the popular sense.

However, for human beings, the flesh and blood will eventually age and decay, and after death, the soul that has left the body will become extremely fragile.

If there is no special power to support it, the so-called soul will quickly dissipate and return to heaven and earth.

For most people, death refers to the decay of the body, while the disappearance of the soul means the end of eternity.

According to the various legends spread in the Nine Realms and the performance of the gods, there is no such thing as reincarnation for human beings.

However, they have a true concept of 'rebirth'.

Perhaps because of having special expectations for those heroes or beauties, the humans in Midgard always thought that those legendary heroes who had already entered the realm of the gods would return again.

They will not go down directly, but board the bodies of babies and live a complete life again as these babies.

In fact, because of the performance in this record, it is difficult for people who do not understand the inside story to understand the Nordic concept of rebirth, and even confuse it with reincarnation.

However, in Huo De's memory, it is actually very simple to distinguish between the "rebirth" of Nordic heroes or other people in the world and the reincarnation of the East.

The latter has a complete system and even forms part of the cycle.

But the former has no hard requirements.

It requires no memory, no personal power.

But one thing is very important.

That is after the 'rebirth', it can no longer be completely regarded as me.

Because this is completely different from completely occupying the body, even a newborn has its own inner (Líkamr).

So, it's not pure occupation.

It is no problem to say that it is reborn.

After realizing this, Hodder frowned.

"In other words, in Midgard or other places...maybe dwarves, maybe elves, anyway, is Brunhilde in those places?"

After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help asking.

"I don't know, I haven't paid attention to this aspect for a long time."

"..."

What Hela said inevitably made Hodder feel helpless.

"Because it was painful and uncomfortable, she chose to become 'someone else', and she didn't even keep all her memories. Therefore, the name Brunhilde probably won't appear again."

Thinking about it carefully, this is also a very normal thing.

After all, it is like a human being who has been busy for most of his life but finds himself excluded. It is inevitable for Brunhilde to feel disappointed by the deeds of the gods.

Judging from the current description, she should be the kind of very strong girl who doesn't even want to rely on anyone's charity and assistance.

So even though she is the daughter of the king of the gods, she did not accept the 'gift' of the father god like Hermod, but chose to fight alone.

To a certain extent, she has more backbone than Hermod, but because of this pride and backbone, she is also more desperate.

After all, a demigod like her has an extremely long lifespan, and Brunhilde has also protected Goth for a long time.

And when she felt sad, there was no mother's arms to act like a baby for her.

A giant baby like Bader has been a mother until now, which may be inseparable from his own personality, but more importantly, his mother Tianhou has always existed.

But Brunhilde is different...

As a demigod, her mother has long been buried underground.

And with the passage of time, her former mortal friends must have also disappeared.

In this case, she is alone.

And because I was lonely and had no one to talk to, I chose to start all over again.

"The so-called rebirth, after all, is a kind of 'inheritance', and once there is no inheritance, memory, and name taboo, it is just a sustenance of successors. In fact, there has always been such a tradition in the world, because I want to see you again. I don’t know my father and mother, so after having a child, I will give the child the name of the parents, which contains the characteristics of expecting the child to inherit the 'parents' who have passed away."

But when you think about it carefully, Brunhilde is completely different from this situation.

Yes, completely different.

"If Brunhilde really gave up everything he had, there would be no difference between this 'new life' and the 'gone'."

Finally, Howard spoke.

And for this point, even the queen who rules the domain of death agrees.

"Indeed, it made no difference, so Brunhilde left everything to me, placing her last wish on the 'Successor'."

In the end, Hela said so.

"In that case, it's not appropriate to bother her anymore. After all, no matter how you say it, she is already considered an 'other person', not to mention that she doesn't even have any memories."

"Right now, she should be living the life she wants... Her wish is as simple as meeting the one she loves and spending the rest of her life with him."

I don't know if I am really happy for her, or some other emotion.

At this moment, Hela suddenly laughed.

"Speaking of which, you should also travel the whole world, maybe you have met her before?"

"..."

"Although there is no memory, theoretically speaking, the reborn 'successor' will also show similar characteristics to her, perhaps because of the guidance of 'fate', even the name taboo will not be much different. "

Regarding the so-called rebirth and inheritance in Norse legends, I suggest you read "Norse Mythology"

This is the title of the book. There is already a Chinese translation in China, and it is sold on Taobao. My impression is that there are more than 100 to [-] copies, which is quite thick.

As for the legendary sakya, what Finboga sakya said is quite clear.

Simply put, this is a kind of moral inheritance.

The reason why newborns are named after ancient heroes...even friends who have passed away is that they hope that they can carry the character and characteristics of others.

Even, this kind of inheritance does not require any babies, it is also possible between friends, for example, a comrade-in-arms will give his name to a survivor before his death.

Therefore, there were many big men with a long list of names in Northern Europe. The number of names means how many lives he bears.

The same is true for the head, and the same is true for building groups.

To put it simply, what I wrote in my article is that King Hengding established the Hengding Clan and gave his name to all the clansmen in the hope that he would live forever and be "reborn" from the clansmen.

Then he was exterminated by Horde.

Siegmund hoped that his dead benevolent father would be "reborn" on everyone including himself. Of course, it could also be considered that he wanted to inherit his father's good character and let his father's name never fade away.

That's why there is the Volsung family.

Chapter 94: Ordinary Tranquil Happiness

In fact, what Hela said before was just nonsense.

In her opinion, as a powerful person, Hodder should have his own adventure.

She knew her father after all.

More importantly, she understands what 'power' is.

Not to mention whether the man named Loki has enough power to create a chess piece that can compete with the gods, even if he has such power, he even processed an "ultimate weapon" to fight against the gods through various means .

However, it is very unlikely that Loki will imbue the so-called 'chess piece' in front of him with everything including martial arts.

Because he needs to grow and polish.

Pure indoctrination will only result in a rigid appearance, and ordinary routines, one move at a time, will definitely not be able to defeat the gods, let alone push the God of Thunder into a desperate situation as the man himself said.

So no matter what angle you look at, he must have his own adventures, and he may even have fought as a mortal on countless battlefields.

So from a certain point of view, Hodder, who has his own adventurous life, and even browses the entire Nine Realms like a horse, may really have seen the reborn Brunhilde!

But of course, this kind of thing also depends on the probability.

Maybe the newborn Brunhilde is just an ordinary peasant girl, or she may be the son and daughter of a rich family.

It might even be a boy...

In short, any situation may happen, after all, Brunhild is so sad that he wants to abandon everything in his past.

But even so, in Hela's opinion, even if the man named Hodder might have seen Brunhilde, he wouldn't have any specific impression.

At this point, trying to recall something is simply wishful thinking.

However, just when she was thinking this way, she heard Huo De's slightly hesitant voice.

"Tsk...Maybe I have seen it before?"

"Ok?"

After hearing Huo De's words, Hela couldn't help but raise her head.

At this moment, a hint of astonishment could not help showing in her eyes, followed by curiosity and inquiry.

"Do you have an impression?"

"This... who knows, I'm not sure about this either."

When Her Majesty asked, Hodder shook his head directly.

"I just think it's possible, but it's too subjective to judge a person based on their character performance, because in the process of getting along, few people can see the whole picture of others, and I don't have that kind of time."

Although it is indeed said so, and this sentence is fundamentally correct.

But in fact, this is just a term Hod used to evade Hela.

In fact, it may be because of his own luck that a corresponding character has emerged in his mind at this time.

According to what he knows now, Brunhilde is a person with strong self-esteem.

She is unwilling to rely on outside help or the charity of the Father God, but relies on her own ability and strength to start her activities as a Valkyrie.

She even likes armor, weapons and helmets more than those romantic and cute little things that ordinary girls like.

To be honest, it may be because Hodder himself knows relatively few people, so after learning about Brunhilde's performance and her character description, he always has such an extremely strong sense of déjà vu .

But to be honest, the so-called personality is linked to the growth environment.

As he said before, it is a little bit reluctant to connect two women from different eras or even two seemingly unrelated women by virtue of their character performance.

However, it is only if.

If that girl is in some way really Brunhilde's reborn appearance, if she is really Brunhilde's 'successor'...

"I think Brunhilde will be able to grant her little wish."

The desire to meet the one you love and spend your life with him.

After all, that little story is quite interesting if you think about it carefully.

Competitive girl, gentle boy who doesn't get angry easily.At first, there was such a taste that they didn't like each other.

But now...

"Humph……"

"You seem happy?"
