You and Me Under The World Tree

In Regin's view, Siegfried is just a kind of sustenance for Hoder. Regin, who is old and mature, is very familiar with the kind of eyes that look at the things behind him through the people in front of him, so he said Say this sentence:

"You haven't let go of that fight yet, have you?"

There is no need for Hoder to say anything, Regin's shrewd head has completed all the content again. He knows that Hoder participated in the last battle, and was ordered to seek help but failed to catch up. It was still breached, and then he was entrusted with his child and wife by his dying old friend. This is definitely the shadow of his life.

According to his understanding of Hoder, his mind is definitely like this. In this Midgard, almost no one is more affectionate and righteous than him. The guilt makes him unable to let go of Siegmund's death, so He will bring Siegfried back to Völsung, arrange for him a background that will not be suspected, let him grow up here, and now...

"No one will doubt that an apprentice blacksmith has obtained the legendary holy sword." Regin finally said with emotion

The dwarf jumped off the chair directly, and then rushed to the door at the fastest speed in his life. He came to the door, hung up the wooden sign of thanking guests behind closed doors, and locked both doors. After that, he carefully returned to the shop.

Hoder still didn't speak, he looked at Siegfried, that kind of eyes made him feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say anything, and Regin finally broke the silence at this time.

"Okay, Siegfried, this thing itself is for you."

Although Hoder didn't say much, Regin finally agreed with this matter - even if he didn't like it, he knew that even if he didn't say anything, Hoder would give him the broken sword.

"I... can I have the holy sword Gram?"

"Of course, child, this is your father's sword, and you should hold it for all reasons."

"my father?"

When he heard this extremely unfamiliar word to him, Siegfried was a little confused, and a look of astonishment appeared on his handsome face.

"But, this sword is..."

"Sigmund."

Just when Siegfried was talking incoherently, the warrior who seemed to have been wandering in the sky before seemed to have finally come back to his senses, and his voice sounded again, which was no less than the backbone for Siegfried.

In fact, his previous distraction was far from what Regin guessed. He had never experienced the nearly 20 years of wandering that Regin imagined, and even the fragment of the sword was in his hand. It took less than a long time - he just broke out last night.

And the reason for his distraction is nothing more than being linked to the system, because just now, his mission has been completed, and the mission item [Broken Sword Hilt] has been completely removed from his inventory, even if he retrieves the rune now Broken Sword couldn't put it back into the inventory, and at the same time, the skill points for "supporting the family" and the quest equipment rewards that he had to sell at will also entered his panel, waiting distribute.

"He is your father." After closing his character panel and inventory, Hoder said.

"My father is Siegmund?"

Siegfried simply followed Hoder and read the sentence translated from this fact again. He didn't fully understand the meaning at first, but after he understood it, the kind of bewilderment couldn't be erased.

"I..."

His expression did not reveal any joy or sadness. He knew that Siegmund was the king of the Netherlands, and that he was a well-known hero in Midgard. He died 20 years ago, and the death is unclear. What's more, it is said that the current king, Legni, killed him in a duel on the battlefield.

But in any case, these things are too far away for Siegfried, not to mention time, even life is too far away, he is just an ordinary blacksmith boy, living in the city of Völsung every day, if there is no accident, The most he could do was ask his adoptive father, Regin, for a good weapon, and then go out on his own adventure, and he never thought about inheriting the blacksmith shop.

But now, something is not quite right...

"I don't know what to say."

The shock brought by the facts made him incoherent. Although he tried his best to calm himself down, anyone could see his unsteady state of mind at the moment.

Even at the end, he gave up trying to pretend...

"I'm a little tired." He said

Siegfried casually put the Broken Sword that he loved before on the table, and then ran all the way back to his room. Whether it was sleeping, hitting the wall with his fist or pouring himself with wine, he always found a suitable channel To calm down his mood at the moment.

"I originally thought that with your character, you would be more 'gentle', because you have always been tolerant to him." Just after Siegfried left, Regin couldn't help but said, "As a result, you have also seen that this The incident was a bit of a blow to him, and I don't know if he can survive it."

"He will, this is the path he is destined to take." Hoder said casually

After all, this version of the expansion is called [Song of the Nibelungen]. In any case, as the protagonist, Siegfried will definitely give up his identity as a blacksmith and take up the reforged holy sword to create his own legend.

From the player's point of view, Hoder's words were taken for granted, but it seemed a little strange that it fell into Regin's ears. The old dwarf opened his mouth several times, but finally said something that was neither serious nor serious.

"You are too confident in him, he is completely different from his father."

What a hero Siegmund is, Regin has not seen the heroic appearance of the king on the battlefield because of his timidity, but he also knows that his final death is also due to his age. He has almost no defeat in his life. The sons also made great military achievements, but in comparison, Siegfried was still a bit mediocre.

but...

"Why is he mediocre?" After glancing at the old dwarf Regin, Hoder finally just responded with such a sentence.

Then, Regin was speechless, he just stayed where he was, his eyes a little dodged...

He seemed to want to say something, but his lips were murmured, and the words did not slip out of his mouth in the end.

Finally, the task panel refreshes again...

[Epic Mission: Descendants of Heroes]

[Introduction: The descendants of heroes will eventually embark on the road of heroes]

[Mission objective: assist Siegfried to regain the throne of the Netherlands (0/1)]

[Task Reward: Fragment of Holy Sword Gram (forging material)]

[System prompt: The route of this mission is not fixed, players are requested to dig by themselves]

"Huh?" After noticing this long-term mission, Hoder couldn't help showing a hint of subtlety under his helmet.

Fragments are not quest items anymore?

And the last mission prompt on the panel can't help but make him feel bad, because it means that the player can't fully experience all the missions.

Then, when he looked up, he saw an exclamation mark suddenly appear over the head of that mean dwarf in Regin.

[Mission: Regin's Distress]

[Introduction: Dwarf Regin has a trouble that has troubled him for 20 years, maybe you can help him. ]
