You and me under the world tree

After all, in his eyes, at least in this Midgard, reputation equals risk.

As for the princess on the other side, she broke the tradition even more.

She doesn't know what romance is, nor is she innocent like an ordinary girl.

Therefore, naturally there will be no such romantic performance.

But at this moment, one thing is certain, that is, the previous emotions are completely in her mind at this moment.

Shock, joy, but in the end it was a blank.

At this moment, Her Highness the Princess turned her head like a rusty puppet.

She stared at the man standing behind her.

At this moment, he still looks unscathed, neither the evil dragon armor nor the cloak is unscathed.

And more importantly, at this moment, he still holds the Holy Sword of God's Wrath in his hand.

No weapons are exchanged.

It's not like experiencing a war across space at all.

As for what was different about him, it was probably the clavichord in his hand.

The key violin itself is more difficult among musical instruments, and the technical level is far more complicated than ordinary musical instruments, so generally only court musicians or those famous bards will carry it with them.

And its biggest problem is that it requires frequent debugging and daily maintenance.

Because it is so delicate, even a single error can make a huge difference in the overall tone.

This is a nightmare for low-level poets who often spend money in ordinary taverns, and they naturally prefer those simple and wearable things.

But these are not the main points, they are just some little knowledge that Dietrich knew unintentionally.

After all, she herself is a princess living in the palace.

But at this moment, of course, what she was most concerned about was its source.

You must know that in her impression, he has never taken out a musical instrument, nor has he shown his talent in music.

But at this moment, she seemed to have lost the ability to ask questions, and she froze in place.

She seemed to have a lot to say, but she didn't seem to.

Where should I start?

And more importantly, since when did this man stand there?

Unknowingly, her heart was completely entangled like a mess of wool.

At this moment, she didn't know what to say, and she didn't know what to say.

So in the end, amidst the ruins that all poets would describe as a 'romantic return', there was just an awkward silence.

Neither Holder nor Dietrich spoke first, because they both felt quite embarrassed.

Especially Hodder.

In fact, he didn't use any special method at all, but after exchanging all the messages with Ingwey in the distant 'past', he was sent back by that man with the power of crossing the river of time.

Moreover, as Ingwie himself said, his strength has almost disappeared, so we can only do our best to send him back.

However, when he just came back, he saw Dietrich sitting helplessly on the ground.

"so……"

Seeing that Dietrich didn't seem to have the intention to speak, Hodder, who really couldn't bear the silence, wanted to speak.

But before he finished speaking, he heard the woman in front of him speak:

"So, this is also part of your plan?"

I don't know if it's Hodder's illusion.

At this time, he always felt that Dietrich's voice was a bit cold.

"Huh? That's right, but the specifics are a bit complicated."

"The woman who called herself Brunhilde rushed out suddenly, covered in wounds... as if she was about to die, and then told me and the woman named Slude that you were murdered by the trap of the gods."

"Uh-huh?"

At first, Hodder was still nodding slowly.

After all, those things before were still within his expectations, but later on, he found something was wrong.

"She's dying?"

"My body is on the verge of collapse, and my legs look useless, I can't move at all."

"Eh……"

When hearing this, Huode couldn't say anything at once.

To be honest, he knew that this woman Hela never played cards according to common sense, so he couldn't use normal thinking to figure out her.

However, even he didn't expect that woman to be able to do this.

"The castle looks like it's probably only the skeleton left."

Looking around, Hodder finally couldn't help but sighed.

"And in this way, I guess I have to re-plan, the next words..."

Howard's words came to an abrupt end.

Not because of anything else, because at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

When he focused his gaze on Dietrich again, he saw that the girl had already stood up.

Moreover, looking at her stretching action, it seems that she is exercising her muscles and bones.

"Miss Dietrich...?"

"Next, you don't have to think about it. I have a plan. Hela said that you were captured by the gods, so you just follow this statement."

"?"

At this moment, Huo De had a bad premonition in his heart.

His brain is actually very alert.

At this time, he had actually thought of what kind of insane way the girl in front of him had come up with to lie.

But even so, he still had such a trace of expectation in his heart.

"Can you change it?"

"Do you think there are other ways? It is not that simple to deceive the queen of the underworld."

"Battle damage or something, this level of camouflage..."

In the end, Hodder's words came to an abrupt end.

Because he saw Dietrich's angry eyes.

To put it bluntly, how worried she was before, how angry she is now.

"give it to you."

"Well, remember to let me know in advance what you want to do in the future."

"Be gentle...and remember not to hurt the violin in my hand, there is a child inside, and there is a very important thing."

"what?"

"A somewhat long story about a lone traveler who has disappeared in the long river of time. I will tell you when I have time."

"Not... the child?"

"Well, boy."

Epilogue [-]: Loop Matryoshka

At this moment, in the courtyard of the different space, the former Valkyrie Brunhilde and the current Valkyrie leader Sluder are confronting each other.

However, the two sides are actually unequal in terms of superficial combat effectiveness.

One party was wearing armor and holding a lightning hammer with a flashing arc in his hand, while the other party had long lost his legs and his clothes were in tatters.

Slude was intact, and Brunhilde, although he healed most of his injuries with magic in time, still looked extremely embarrassed.

However, these two women strangely presented a state of 'evenly matched'.

In the final analysis, it was because Slude didn't want to just do it to his friend.

She still misses the friendship she once had.

But the other side is different.

Because he was deprived of everything he should have by what he thought was a good friend, because he felt that the father god he had always worshiped did not trust him, and those gods who could trust him all regarded him as a pawn, Brunhilde no longer let Si Lourdes took a step closer.

Whether it was the castle or herself, she even used magic to blast Slude out of the castle.

At this moment, as the leader of the Valkyries who should have kept calm, Slude didn't know what to do.

Although at the beginning, because of the sudden news, her brain froze for an instant, and it was extremely difficult for her to even think.

But in fact, after a period of time in the past, although the shock and pain still lingered in her heart, her mind had recovered the ability to think.

Although her personality sometimes shows the irritableness inherited from her parents, but at the same time, she has inherited the gentleness and reason from her mother.

Regardless of whether it is because of blood relationship that it is more trusted.

In fact, if she was incompetent, would only keep moving forward, and had no brains at all, then the high and unsmiling king of the gods would never let her lead the important organization of the Valkyrie.

After all, her previous two commanders were not vegetarians.

The first is the queen Frigg...

In fact, the original Valkyries were originally the maids under her command, which were derived from the goddess combat troops of the Warner Protoss.

As for the second leader, it is Shikoti, the Goddess of Fate who maintains a neutral position.

They all have enough prestige among the gods.

In this case, of course, Slude, who took over the power of the Valkyrie from Shikoti, will inevitably be compared.

In the eyes of most gods, although Slude's performance is not comparable to the previous two, he has excellent prospects.

Because her personality is more like her mother Sif than her father.

Brave, sensible, decisive...

It should have been like this, Slude combined the character traits that Sif had revealed before and after marriage at the same time.

Resolute and brave have almost become her iconic adjectives.

However, that's how she hesitated now.

After all, she has never experienced such things.

Not to mention what happened to Thor's generation who existed as Odin's descendants, at least the "three generations of gods" like Slude did grow up in a relatively peaceful environment.

When she was born, the Asa protoss had already finished fighting the war that should be fought.

The battle with the frost giants led the young god-king and his comrades to kill one of the original beings in this world: Ymir, the king of the frost giants.

The death of Ymir finally brought a colorful picture to this ancient world with only two colors.

In the ensuing civil war of the Protoss, the Asa Protoss, as the victor, successfully obtained the dominance of the world, while the Warner Protoss chose to reconcile and retire, and no longer care about world affairs.

Afterwards, it is said that the flame giant Soult, who was predicted to destroy the entire world tree Uktrasil and cause the destruction of all worlds, was also killed in the fierce battle.

So far, Midgard and the edge of the World Tree can see the battlefield of that great battle, and it has become a tacit place of exile.

Yes, the Asa Protoss has already finished the necessary battle for survival, and everything they do next is just to continue to stabilize their own rule.

Perhaps for the aloof protoss, those frost giants who still live in seclusion in Jotunheim and seem to have lost their fighting spirit are also old enemies that have to be eliminated.

But from Slude's birth to the present, they have indeed never had any large-scale conflicts.

As for the still young Thunder Valkyrie, even though she knew very well that the rule of the gods is not as stable as humans imagined, she probably never dreamed that such a day would come.

Confrontation, departure...
