You and Me Under The World Tree

In the atrium world, 'death' is actually a sacred thing, and it is planned.

The heroic dead will be selected by the Valkyries and taken to Asgard, where the dead warriors will be assigned.

Whether to go to Odin's Valhalla to be a pure Enheria served by a Valkyrie, or to go to Fólkvangr to reunite with his sweetheart, be a servant with peace of mind, or even be taken away by other gods? It depends on their performance.

In addition, the cowardly or non-war dead will go to Helheim, under the jurisdiction of the master Hela over there.

It is precisely because 'death' has complete 'rules' in the entire Nine Realms, so it cannot be profaned, and the matter of disguising corpses is not only a deception to the gods, but also a deception to the woman in the kingdom of death. disrespect of the master.

Even if Dietrich has no respect for the gods themselves, you will inevitably feel a little consternation, because he will never take the initiative to provoke anyone.

However, the man named Hoder was different...

If those people in Asgard were more aggressive, then what he would have to face would be endless pursuit.

Is it necessary to do this just to deceive the Gothic Kingdom and cover up his whereabouts in Midgard?

"Or, is this your own idea?"

It's like declaring war arrogantly...

"Your Highness, this is... your partner's body."

In front of his eyes were three burnt and scorched pieces of meat, two humans and one dwarf. He could barely see the shape and appearance of the human beings, and they really felt like 'corpses'. What's more, three of them were corpses. There is also a seemingly extremely heavy giant sword inserted between them, and there is a simple giant helmet beside the giant sword.

However, Dietrich could detect the runes on it.

The magic of the transformation department, and the attainments seem to be quite high. If it is not for someone like Dietrich who has completely learned the seventeen runes, the priests and warriors of Midgard may not be able to see through it at all. of.

"The name of a sage is well-deserved." Dietrich whispered

At this moment, the image of that man could not help but appear in his mind, and it became completely three-dimensional.

"It's extremely arrogant."

"Your Highness, we should hold a grand funeral for them."

Just when Dietrich couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart, the voice of a soldier rang in his ears.

Following the sound, His Royal Highness saw a young face, it was a young soldier, he remembered him, Wolfhart, a boy from Bern City.

Although he was young, he fought bravely...

He probably didn't realize that his beloved prince just glanced at him like this, just narrating his own thoughts:

"That... if they can, they deserve the honor they deserve."

The implication is that they should not die in the wilderness, and their souls should belong to Valhalla. This is Wolfhart's subtext.

Although he had absolutely no intention of betraying the prince, the traditions of the atrium world still bound him, which His Royal Highness did not like.

"Bern City doesn't have a temple, let alone a priest." He said, "Bury these corpses. The Valkyrie can come if she wants, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to."

He said, and subconsciously wanted to leave, but then, he felt something was wrong, and the red eyes couldn't help looking at the corpses twice.

The helmet and giant sword were too plain, and at first glance they looked as if they had been scorched like those corpses, but Dietrich had a unique perception of 'magic', and he finally noticed that something was wrong.

Then, he reached out and pulled out the long sword stuck in the ground, and then picked up the helmet.

"Come here and have a try." Dietrich suddenly said after staring at the helmet in his hand for a while.

"Eh?"

"What about you, Wolfhart."

"His Royal Highness, me??"

Before the boy could react, the plain helmet was put on his head, and he was still a little dizzy.

Before Wolfhart could react, Dietrich reached out and pulled out the well-crafted saber from the young soldier's waist.

"Wait a minute! Your Royal Highness!!"

When Wolfhart finally came to his senses, what he saw was a sword slashing towards his head.

Die! !

'clang'

The blade is broken...

When Wolfhart was about to close his eyes and wait to die, he heard a crisp sound. Along with the ringing, the battle helmet that was put on his head cracked, but what was broken was only the last Just an outer layer of carapace.

It was a helm, a shofar helm that seemed to refract light.

"Hmph." Looking at the helmet, Dietrich suddenly smiled.

Taking advantage of the young soldier's dizziness, he directly took off the silver-white helmet, and then tried to swing the heavy sword he had just acquired.

"not bad..."

[Refractive Helmet]

[Nagrim Epee]

Dietrich understood it. After combining the runes in the helmet and the epee except for the enchantment effect, he read the words left by the creator. To put it bluntly, this is just a mutual benefit That's all.

And in a sense, it was considered a bribe, probably because he was worried that he would tell the truth about the corpse.

Then let him figure it out...

That's right, the original words are what to do. Simply put, these three corpses are placed here, and ordinary humans and ordinary Valkyries can't even detect the problem.

So a lot can be done in this, and these decisions are left to Dietrich himself.

But whether this is testing the Gothic prince, or simply trusting his own intelligence, this point is actually open to debate.

But it doesn't really matter, because Dietrich already has a plan in his mind at this moment.

"These three corpses don't really need us to worry about." His Royal Highness said

Dietrich took the opportunity to hang the epee behind his back, and his subtle change of words didn't even attract the attention of the people around him.

"They are warriors from the Netherlands, so they should return to their homeland for burial, and inform King Legni of the Netherlands to send someone over to retrieve the bodies of these three warriors!"

This, Dietrich believed, was the thinking of the sage who was doing his best to raise the descendants of Völsung, who did not need to be disturbed and therefore did not need to be pursued.

This matter had to be done by the hands of Dietrich, that's why the helmet and epee were sent...

But at this moment, His Royal Highness still has lingering doubts in his heart.

Of course Hoder's transformation magic can be hidden from most people, but what about those gods?

The problem turned back to the original point:

These magical words were originally created by the gods, and they only need one glance to see through this kind of trick. Although his method can get rid of the pursuers in the world, it will inevitably anger the gods in the sky.

Is this really a provocative declaration?

Or...

He squatted down slowly, reached out and touched those 'corpses'.

"I see..."

After reading the runes, he gently erased the strange words. After the magic effect dissipated, those things were still corpses.

"Cunning guy."
