You and me under the world tree

At the beginning, Siegfried thought it was Hilda, because in the recent period, the Netherlands has become too stable, and there should be no one else running around except for the girl who has been in a hurry.

But thinking about it carefully, Siegfried felt that it was not the case.

Because he knew very well that at this point in time, Hilda didn't have time to come to her.

On the one hand, she is the princess of Iceland and needs to show her face in front of the Icelandic people from time to time.

On the other hand, she is also in charge of the fortress built in the northern sea area, and recently, the three brothers and sisters of the Burgundian royal family whose identities, memories, and appearances have been modified have also arrived there.

If nothing else, they will spend the rest of their lives there as civilians.

And that requires a certain amount of planning.

It's not that there aren't villages there, but those villages have other uses in essence.

Therefore, if the three brothers and sisters in Burgundy are to settle down, it will take a lot of thought.

At least, it takes a lot of work on the level of memory modification.

And this matter cannot be handed over to other people, only Hilda, who knows each other well.

So, the people who come here at this time will be...

Almost subconsciously, Siegfried groped for the edge of the desk.

There is a small organ with a simple short sword inside, which is completely for self-defense.

His action is not suspicious in essence, but a behavior similar to instinct.

When he couldn't recognize the footsteps from far to near, subconsciously stroking the location of the weapon could make him feel that kind of peace of mind from the bottom of his heart.

That's it.

And just as Siegfried kept stroking the small mechanism next to the desk, the footsteps finally slowed down.

'Boom dong dong'

Along with the sound of the door, a female voice came hurriedly.

"Your Majesty! There is an emergency!"

He was familiar with this voice.

A maid in the palace.

Ever since Hagen had to stay away from the City of Wrath of the Sky and go to his hometown to clear up the dignitaries, these maids cameo as messengers from the front hall to the inner hall.

However, the anxious words she uttered made Siegfried frown.

"Huh? Come in."

After getting His Majesty's approval, the maid opened the door and entered.

Then, with an extremely anxious expression on her face, she handed the letter in her hand to the young Lord of Armies in front of her.

She was very smart and knew that in this situation, she should not waste time talking nonsense, so she just stood quietly by the side, watching the handsome king in front of her open the letter.

Then, she saw the change in his complexion.

From the calm and calm at the beginning, it became bloodless.

Although he didn't panic because of this, the maid could see his fists clenched.

"Who else knows about this?"

Finally, after taking several deep breaths, he asked.

"Your Excellency the Sage has already learned that he has already gone to the scene one step ahead, and..."

"Who else?"

At this moment, anyone could see the impatience and powerlessness on Siegfried's face.

But the maid shook her head.

"No, it's just that the sage told you to calm down and order martial law. As long as you block the city and travel, these things can be handled."

"Well, let the royal city be sealed! In addition, let the Skyfury guards go out, and notify the legion stationed in the fortress to move out and seal the town!"

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Facing His Majesty's impatient decree, the maid bowed and bowed, then quickly turned and left.

After the maid left, Siegfried looked up.

At this time, he picked up the delivered letter again, and in the end, the letter was directly crumpled or even torn by him.

And among the torn letters, two key words were extremely conspicuous.

Deventer.

This is a small town on the Ijssel River, a tributary of the Rhine River, which is also quite close to the royal city.

As far as the current situation is concerned, if you walk on the well-built road, if you ride a horse or a carriage, the distance is only an hour.

And the second key word is the reason why Siegfried is furious and powerless.

plague……

According to the news from the mayor of the small town of Difentel, a huge plague suddenly broke out there for some reason.

And it seemed to have swept away overnight, and when they realized it, most of them had already collapsed.

Panic and uneasiness swept straight away!

And in this case, Siegfried could foresee the ensuing chaotic situation without even thinking about it.

"asshole……"

He was covering his head, even tugging at his blond hair.

"Why is it at this time!"

It happened that such a thing broke out at this extremely critical time for the Netherlands.

Doesn't that mean...

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Siegfried felt as if he had thought of something.

He raised his head suddenly and stared at the ceiling.

"That's right, it's you guys!"

Either way, it looks like too much of a coincidence.

And how can there be a plague that spreads completely overnight?

After realizing this, Siegfried suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

If his thinking is correct, does that mean that those guys in the sky can't sit still?

"Damn you..."

I talked about the problem of helmet modification before, let me show you the big picture [funny]

I believe everyone can see the original design of the helmet, that is, the part that protects the neck and jaw and the upper part are detachable.

As a result, once it becomes a mouth, it can never go back.

So later it was changed to tear marks, um, the tearful warrior Ingwi, but the armor will not shed tears~

Chapter 2: The Dark Land

Diffenter...

This is a beautiful town on the banks of the Ijssel River, and for the Netherlands, it is also a town with a long history.

Even, purely in terms of historical legends, it is older than the legendary Irfin tribe.

Legend has it that this place used to be a shrine dedicated to the great queen Frigg, and around this shrine, the beautiful town of Diffenter developed.

A town of priests.

At that time, Diffenter did have such a title.

And it wasn't until the Irfin tribe, son of gods, came to this land that Diffintel completed its mission.

Because Xiji, the leader of the Irfin tribe and the human god of war, built a magnificent and gorgeous capital on the plain not far away, the former temple was naturally moved to the inner part of the royal city.

And based on that temple, the Asgard Pantheon dedicated to the great gods was established.

Its history is quite long, from the Ilfin clan to the Volsung clan, it has witnessed the rise and fall of this land.

And even in the two eras of the short-term rule of the Hengding family, King Hengding and the false king Legni dared not show any disrespect to the Pantheon.

Even, they continue to invest in repairs.

But it is worth mentioning that this temple eventually fell in the flames of war.

Because the fighting at that time was too chaotic, the civilians hiding at home were destined not to know what happened.

The soldiers are busy killing the enemy and occupying the city, and they will never focus on places other than their surroundings.

It was war after all.

It is extremely stupid to be distracted during the war. How could they care about what happened to the temple at that time?

To put it bluntly, they noticed that at that time, a large-scale explosion occurred in the temple, which was comparable in grandeur to the royal palace, and some conflicts seemed to erupt inside.

However, at that time, the intensity of battles in various places was quite high. Even the royal palace had a lot of turmoil, so no one cared about what happened to the temple.

And according to later accounts, it is said that Legni himself had little awe of the temple.

He claimed to be the 'king chosen by the gods', so he didn't make too many repairs to the temple at all.

And in more than 20 years, the temple itself, which has never been maintained or repaired, has shown signs of decay—it is quite old after all.

In the end, in that kind of war, it was overwhelmed and fell down.

As for the real reason for his fall, it is naturally inseparable from a certain man who always likes to hide in the dark.

In short, no matter what, because the Great Temple in Wangcheng was blown up, the court and the people have been calling for the repair and construction of the Great Temple and the subordinate temples in the surrounding areas.

In the face of such calls, Siegfried emphasized that the Netherlands has many enemies, and it is foolish to blindly pursue faith when the regime is unstable.

Anyway, no matter what, the internal infrastructure of the kingdom must be the main focus.

That's why we came up with the strategy of building fortresses, city walls, and roads later.

As for the small town of Diffintel, it was once said to be a larger and more prosperous town in the Netherlands, but since Xiji established the wolf kingdom belonging to the Irfin tribe here, this small town has been Gradually declined, and finally lost its former prosperity.

For now, Diffintel is no different from other small towns in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

If you have to say it, the only thing that makes people linger here now is the beauty of this small town.

Compared with the city, the pace of life in this city of mixed animal husbandry and planting is extremely slow, and for this reason, Siegfried also gave a small manor around the town to Laura who wanted to live in seclusion. Gener.

In Siegfried's view, the living environment here is very suitable for married Ragnar and Lagossa.

The towns are small but well-equipped, and the small estates themselves lend themselves to a laid-back life.

It should be like this.

But when Hodder set foot on the banks of the Ijssel River again, everything here changed.

The riverside town that has built walls and sentry towers exudes a disgusting atmosphere.

The high city wall seems to isolate the inside and outside, and the closed town gate is like a gate leading to the netherworld to a certain extent.

In fact, it's not surprising that Hodder would have such an idea.

Because he had already seen the ground where the city wall was deeply rooted turned black.

"Tsk."

When seeing this scene, Huoder probably already understood the origin of this so-called plague.
