You and me under the world tree

About the giant's outlook on life...

"Oh, by the way, I am the continuation of my mother's life."

Having said that, Hela couldn't help stretching.

"My mother gave her last life to me so I could be born safely."

Finally, she changed the subject:

"However, humans are different from our giants. Humans, dwarves, elves... These are all closely related to Uktrasir. Do you know where they will go after the end of their lives?"

Chapter 10: Primordial Chaos

Since Huo De doesn't seem to care about this topic, Hela won't make fun of it.

After talking about these topics in an extremely calm manner, which are enough to startle people's eyes, and even produce some amazing ideas, she just picked up the bread and took a bite.

Although Hodder and the others are not short of money, for the convenience of storage, the bread they bought is naturally the kind that is easy to preserve.

The taste is naturally not very good, and it has such a hard and rough feeling when chewed.

But in the face of this kind of hard bread that can be used as a brick by ordinary people, Hela gnawed with relish.

That 'crack bang bang' sound always has such a harsh feeling.

And for a while, her way of eating made Hodder speechless.

At this moment, he didn't even know whether he should say that kind of advice.

"Miss Brunhilde, that's not how you eat this bread."

Just when he was hesitating, someone finally spoke up for him.

Dietrich.

At this moment, Her Royal Highness the Gothic princess pointed this out bluntly.

"This bread is very hard. Generally speaking, it is soaked in hot soup, or sliced ​​​​and eaten with barbecue."

"Is that so?"

After chewing and swallowing the hard bread, Hela showed a subtle expression.

It wasn't blame, it wasn't disgust, it was just a hint of the purest doubt.

She even closed her eyes just then, as if she was remembering something.

Searching for the memories belonging to Brunhilde, or recalling her long past, finally, she slowly opened her slightly dazed eyes.

"Ah, that seems to be the case."

Although she seems to have remembered.

But at this moment, the movements of her hands didn't stop.

Hela took two bites of the bread directly, letting the rough, hard feeling spread in her mouth.

Then he sipped the oily vegetable soup.

After the warm taste gradually filled her entire mouth, she swallowed all of these things.

"To be honest, I have already forgotten how to eat."

Because Helheim doesn't have such a 'luxury' thing, the dead souls and the dead don't need to eat at all, and as the ruler of the netherworld, the queen is in charge of 'death'.

"After all, I don't need these."

"You don't need it, but Brunhild needs it, so you still have a lot to learn, from catering to hobbies, you should at least pick up all the things that Brunhild is proficient in."

"Tsk..."

It was obvious that Hodder was telling the truth, and this was indeed something she had to pay attention to at the moment.

But at this moment, Hela couldn't help feeling unhappy.

"Don't talk to me in that elder tone, I know these things."

"I'm just telling the truth."

"..."

Because it was telling the truth, Hela had no way to refute it from any angle.

Therefore, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"What? Do you see me unhappy? Just say it because I am unhappy. Don't hold back."

In the end, Huo De's words directly hit her sore spot, directly detonating the little dissatisfaction in her heart.

"what's wrong with you?"

But soon, she herself realized that something was wrong.

"Really..."

Her anger here means that she has voluntarily admitted that she does have a little prejudice against him, even the unhappiness and dissatisfaction radiating from the bottom of her heart.

And this kind of dissatisfaction has actually been accumulating since the palace on the peak of Xendal.

As for why, to put it bluntly, she was still awkward there.

He once said self-sacrifice, and she even felt a little bit touched by that self-sacrifice and determination, but now thinking about it, that feeling feels ashamed.

Not to mention, she emphasized to the woman named Dietrich several times afterwards that she didn't pursue his exaggerated tone for his sake.

Perhaps neither Hodder nor Dietrich had ever cared about that aspect, and they haven't mentioned what happened on the Siendal Peak now, but Hela just felt uncomfortable about it.

In the end, Hela, who was getting more and more angry, finally decided not to think about such a mess.

"Tsk, so, do you understand?"

After taking a hard bite of the roasted meat, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, she asked.

"Well... I probably know a little bit, but I just heard that dwarves are used to making the souls of the dead into objects and keeping them forever."

In this regard, Howard was very vague.

He doesn't even appear to have any knowledge of dwarven culture, even if he does.

"And the words of the elves..."

"The dead elves will merge into the eternal glory and protect the elves' kingdom forever."

Before Hodder could speak, Dietrich completed his words.

And it's not the kind of "supposedly" kind of uncertain tone, but extremely certain.

"Although I have never been to the kingdom of elves, my former subordinate was a half-elf."

Holy Sword Warrior Wittig...

Although Dietrich didn't mention who that guy was, Hodder reflected this in an instant.

Although he is a half-elf and grew up in the atrium world, it is naturally normal to hear some elf customs from his father.

"However, since I have never been to Elfheim, I don't know exactly what the situation is."

"Anyway, almost all races have ways to deal with it, don't they? Even the weakest and most vulnerable human beings, the races born from Ymir have 'processed' their souls without letting them complete the cycle of return .”

While talking and eating, Hela quickly wiped out her own barbecue.

After all, she hasn't eaten for a long time, so in terms of the way she eats, she can't help showing a sense of boldness that ordinary people can't understand.

"Ymir has not been completely killed, but his power is being continuously drawn away, and his life has turned into three weak races now. This is the entire 'Nine Realms'. In fact, the gods and giants It has always maintained a balanced posture, allowing 'Yuktrazil' to maintain its physical activity and at the same time seal its consciousness."

"Ah."

"If the souls of all races are fully assembled and return to the so-called heaven and earth, then the sleeping giant may not be far away from awakening."

"Um……"

At this moment, Howard lowered his head.

There was a little brilliance in his eyes. In theory, no one knew what the silent sage was thinking.

However, Hela reckoned that she could guess very well.

"I suggest that you don't have those dangerous thoughts. Whether it's the current giants or gods, even I don't want that dangerous situation to happen."

She looked at Howard with a meaningful look.

Although her temperament is out of character, at least for now, she is serious.

"That is a disaster that you mortals can never imagine. His cruelty is not even recognized by those giant kings. That's why in the ancient times of chaos, gods and giants were forced to join forces."

He was obviously the ancestor of the frost giants, but Ymir got so mixed up that even his giants... even his children wanted to attack him.

"He is born with everything, can create life, can use powerful power, and because he is born with everything, he has no normal feelings..."

At the end, Hela stopped suddenly.

Because she realized that the exaggeration of words is too weak, just words, there is no way to describe the ancient disaster.

To be honest, even she never had any real sense of that ancient disaster.

If I have to say it, it is just that the blood of the frost giants, the fear imprinted in every giant's heart, is telling the horror of the original life.

"Let's talk about a reason for you to give up. If you want to wake up the 'land' under your feet, then I'm afraid you have to pay an unimaginable price. It's not enough to just massacre a race. If you are not careful, you will lose the mortal world you value...the Kingdom of the Netherlands that you value."

"You're thinking too much. I'm not cruel enough to slaughter a race without expression."

Then, Hela saw that a lingering scarlet and viciousness flashed in the man's cloudy eyes.

It was so vicious that even the Nether Queen could not understand.

"Killing is a cruel thing."

Chapter 11: Folk Trends

No one knew what was discussed in the jungle camp that night, and the three people involved remained silent about it.

Even after that, no one brings up that night's conversation.

Because compared with the so-called information sharing and exchange, they still have many important things to do.

For example, learning to walk, learning a normal person...even the habits and cognitions that a Valkyrie should have.

And more importantly, other people can't help with most things, and Hela can only rely on herself.

Because she is not learning how to be a normal person, but how to be a 'Brünhilde', at least she must put her mind to the Those memories belonging to Brunhilde in the book are completely digested.

To avoid being seen through, she couldn't just use her flamboyant, clumsy acting as the Valkyrie Brunhilde.

After all, her acting skills were so good that she was at the peak of Schindal at that time, so she had to ask Hodder to help cover it up.

If he hadn't just slipped an Ingwie helmet to her at that time, and asked her to play a desperate woman who regarded the dead Ingwie as her all spiritual sustenance, her acting skills itself would have been a great breakthrough point.

Therefore, she must try her best to polish herself as Brunhild, not simply acting, but becoming another person completely.

And the bar is obviously pretty high.

At least a person who has never learned acting and only shows his emotions through exaggerated acting skills has difficulty grasping the point and essence.

But fortunately, at least Hella didn't start from scratch.

As long as she wanted, she could read those memories that Brunhilde left her at any time.

From hobbies to personal deeds, to previous pasts and experiences, it is only a matter of time before Hela, who has inherited this memory and occupied this body, wants to completely become the second Brunhilde.

As for Huo De and the others, what they need most is time, because the superficial delicate balance they maintain with the gods can last for a long time.

And they moved forward slowly as ordinary wealthy adventurers.

Two horses and a cart.

I didn't deliberately take any unmanned trails, or gallop on the grassland.

They just walked on the avenue naturally, only at night they would use magic to open up a 'enchantment' to rest and camp.

During this period of time, Hela had to synthesize the memories in her mind to learn Brunhilde and a way of life that a normal person should have.

Not to mention anything else, she has to learn slowly from walking.

However, this is definitely not an easy thing for Hela, because she hasn't 'walked' for too long.
