You and me under the world tree

"No, it should be said that in fact, I still don't have much confidence in my ability. In fact, whether it is Big Sister or Ragnar, you are all better than me, so it is more suitable to stay here."

Seeing the stubbornness that appeared in Celain's eyes, Hewale was speechless for a moment.

She really didn't know what to say.

At the same time, she was also resentful and resentful of why her mind was blank.

After seeing the stalemate in this scene, Huo De still sighed after drinking tea.

"You should also calm down a little bit, it's just a scapegoat, and it's not for you to die."

"Hodder!"

Just when Hodder said those words in a relaxed tone, Hewale glared at him subconsciously.

"You should know that this matter is not that simple at all."

"Yeah, it's not that simple."

Facing the furious Hewaller, Hodder nodded slowly.

"While carrying the stigma, you will also receive the attention of the gods... But this kind of thing is not impossible to deal with, it is better than death."

Maybe it's because the sage's words seemed too ruthless, and his own tone didn't fluctuate much.

All of a sudden, no matter how good-tempered Hewale was, no matter how fond she was of that man, she couldn't help being aroused.

"Don't stand there and talk without back pain, Hodder, this matter..."

"I have experienced this incident, and the situation back then was even more dangerous than it is now."

Howard said.

And at the moment when his voice fell, He Huale didn't make any sound.

She was obviously still furious, but she couldn't get a word out of her mouth.

Because she has no way to refute anything.

"I survived at the time and managed to disappear, but now, with our power, it is not difficult to hide a person."

Having said that, Hodder paused for a moment.

"Perhaps during this period of time, you may have to disappear or live in no fixed place."

"I already have an idea about that."

In the end, Celain just took a deep breath.

"I can go back to the northern sea...probably, because I think no matter what, there will always be a place for me and Heras in that place."

If these words are affirmative, then Celain looks like a qualified wise man.

But it's a pity that he still looks a little timid and inferior, so his words are full of worries.

"I think that the Kingdom of the Netherlands should not give up that place no matter what."

"..."

After hearing Celain's seemingly uncertain words, Hodder himself was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help wrapping his arms around his chest.

"Oh? Then what do you think of the northern waters?"

"In the case of ensuring that there is no dangerous situation there, and there is a large potential ally, should at least establish a naval fortress that no one knows about?"

Speaking of this, Celain couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Subconsciously, his eyes began to turn around his eldest sister and the ancient sage.

It looks like they want to get some useful information.

But alas, he failed to do so.

Neither the eldest sister he admired nor the sage he admired showed any expressions of surprise.

Moreover, a strange silence lingered in the entire room inexplicably.

This kind of silence inevitably made Celain's heart sink.

"I... did I say something wrong?"

"No, not really, I'm just a little curious."

Facing Celain's vacillating expression, Huo De said slowly.

"The northern sea area is indeed a strategic location. If possible, I would like to build a naval fortress there, but you should also know that the Kingdom of the Netherlands has been busy with internal affairs recently, and even the border has been constantly Fortify your defenses."

Unknowingly, no one mentioned the previous topic.

And for now, there seems to be a weird question-and-answer session here.

"You should know that the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands has not expanded its ocean domain. It even dispatches fleets to and from the waterway between Iceland and Gitland. If you want to build a fortress in the northern seas, it will inevitably transport a large number of supplies, but the transportation of supplies is bound to alarm other people, and you will not fail to hear news about it."

At this moment, Celain suddenly felt a huge pressure.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that the man in front of him had become a scourge.

The cloudy eyes under the dark hood seemed to reveal an inhuman brilliance, and the fear in his heart was awakened at this moment.

"call."

At this time, Celain even took a step back.

At the same time, Hewale also clearly noticed something.

"Hod..." she growled in a low voice.

It looked very much like a female animal protecting its cubs.

However, Hodder waved his hand slightly in the face of Hewale's warning.

"There is no way to get things done with mere guesswork."

"Iceland……"

In the end, Celain gritted his teeth and said a word.

"The failure of the Netherlands does not mean that the outside world is not good. Iceland should be our loyal ally..."

Everyone in the abandoned port knew about this, after all, back then, Siegfried came with the Icelandic princess.

To say that the relationship between these two people is not good, it must be a joke.

"But even if it is an ally, it does not mean 100% trust. Any normal leader will not completely hand over the initiative to others. If a fortress is really established there, then the Netherlands will definitely have a foothold .”

"United Fortress..."

"Yes, but you should also understand that there is no impenetrable wall in this world, not to mention that Amstel Harbor is next to the abandoned port. Since you can't even receive news about this, then..."

"Treasure."

Then Hodder slightly opened his eyes.

"uh-huh?"

Chapter 41: Finalization, rumors

Finally, in the second-floor room of the Giant Ship, the unique government affairs hall in the abandoned city, Celain mentioned that keyword.

And his reflexes can be said to be quite fast.

After all, it's been a while since that happened.

Although the king went out and personally led the fleet to the western mountains of Ganita Heide to find the treasure of the dwarves, this incident caused quite a stir among the various kingdoms.

But this kind of sensation does not actually affect the abandoned city.

Spies generally hang around in places like Amstel Harbor, and the Kingdom's envoys naturally want to go to the City of Wrath of Sky, and the abandoned city has become the only leisurely place.

Although it looks prosperous here, most of the prosperity here is brought about by the efforts of the former residents of the abandoned port, and has little to do with the circulation of external personnel.

Therefore, the things that happened outside basically only stay at the level of 'hearing' for the people here.

Although the eldest sister they are following, Herwalle, who is now in charge of the Netherlands Navy, should be an insider or even an important participant.

However, Celain seems to be a smart person.

And because he is smart, he naturally knows a very crucial thing: avoid suspicion.

Hewale herself will definitely keep the secret, because she knows that this matter is very important, so she must keep silent, but the reason why Celin didn't ask is because she feels that the position of the abandoned city itself is delicate.

As the mayor of the abandoned city, and now the leader of the abandoned city except Ragnar, Lagosa, and the big sister, Hovalle, Celain is obliged to ensure that the entire abandoned city will not be destroyed by all kinds of people. gossip involved.

Even, because his own group is too large and too eye-catching, he feels that he can't arouse suspicion even more.

With this kind of psychological blessing, it is even more impossible for him to explore this aspect.

And with the passage of time, more than a year has passed now, and he still reacted to that point in a short time.

It is admirable from any angle.

If it is said that he paid attention to this from the beginning, and even has been paying attention to the trend in that area, it shows that he is careful.

And if he has already put this matter behind him, or even almost completely forgotten it, but he can react now, it shows that he has extraordinary thinking ability and astute mind.

And no matter what position you stand on, this shows that Celain does have something special about him.

And this advantage is enough to make him a superior—not to mention a ruler, but at least someone who can stand on a high ground and think with his brain.

But it's a pity that the current Celain has a lingering flaw no matter what.

And this defect cannot be completely ignored: he always feels inferior subconsciously.

This is not to say that he is cowardly. In fact, in Huo De's view, this young man named Selain was able to stand there with the pressure he released before, which already shows the strength in his bones.

However, just this level of perseverance may not be enough.

"In the past, the kingdom sent a large number of fleets to search for treasures."

At the moment when thousands of thoughts appeared in Hodder's mind, Celain said.

However, just like the ups and downs of the attitude he spoke before.

Obviously he has touched some key points, but because of the doubts and uncertainties in his heart, he has been unable to establish a confident attitude.

So in the end, he felt quite short of breath.

Not only is the voice getting lower and lower, but the speed of speech is also getting slower.

"I don't know the exact number, but that should be...the only chance."

To put it bluntly, Celain is still not sure about his guess.

Even, he couldn't even determine the initial major premise.

In his eyes, the fundamental reason why he felt that a fortress was built in the northern sea was because he had expectations for it in his heart.

Because he hoped that there would be a fortress there, and having a fortress and troops stationed there meant that they could get a certain degree of shelter and hiding there.

However, he has no evidence.

Because there is no evidence, he has no confidence, and his momentum has declined very quickly.

"The Netherlands shouldn't let go of that land..."

"Yes, the Netherlands will indeed not let go of that piece of land, and there is indeed a joint fortress there."

At this moment, Hodder suddenly stood up.

Before Celain could think more about it, he said all these things that should have been kept secret.

"It is a fortress jointly stationed by Iceland and the Netherlands. At the same time, it still keeps some secrets. If there is no accident, it will be a springboard for attacking Norway."

"..."
