You and Me Under The World Tree

Because Siegfried in the blacksmith shop on the big map can stand there 24 hours a day and make iron. So many players don't know one thing: Siegfried has a very ordinary schedule.

　　His life consists of four things: eating, drinking, sleeping, blacksmithing, and shopping. It is so monotonous. His life has always been inseparable from the blacksmith shop opened by his adoptive father Regin. He goes in and out here and grows here, even if When I was young, I rarely left the south side of the royal city when I was playing. My biggest wish was that the uncle who brought me to this city would come back from time to time and talk to me about outside things.

　　And from this, a slightly mediocre wish was born in his heart: he wanted to go out on an adventure

　　Martial arts are prevalent in Midgard. In addition to the perennial wars between countries, adventurers are also a very popular profession, because a warrior with rich adventure experience will be welcomed in any country. For this reason, he is While honing the blacksmithing skills that I feel are necessary, I am also secretly training my swordsmanship and physical fitness.

　　Although his martial arts skills are nothing more than the three-legged cat kung fu taught by his dear Uncle Hoder, he is still practicing continuously, and he can master even a three-blade axe.

　　But in this extremely peaceful life, a major event happened that subverted his cognition. His dear uncle brought the legendary holy sword Gram from the tree out of nowhere, and then dumped it directly on the table. In front of him, after looking at him as if he had awakened the sleeping fragments of the Holy Sword, he directly dumped all the truth in front of him.

　　He, Siegfried, is not a commoner. Although he seems to be from Denmark, he is not a Dane. He is an orthodox Dutchman and an orthodox descendant of the Völsung family that once ruled this country.!

　　This sudden news actually directly went to his brain, turning his originally flexible brain into a paste.

　　Not to mention that this feeling is like that of a newbie who just left the novice village and the NPC slapped an artifact on his face. Now that the Netherlands has been ruled by the Hundings clan, the name "Völsung" What it brings is not pure glory, nor status, but endless trouble.

　　Yes, trouble, this is the final conclusion Siegfried came to after figuring out the causes and consequences of everything.

　　This is not because he himself is cold-blooded, but it is indeed the case. At the moment when the tragedy of the Völsung clan happened, he was still in Hjördís's belly and had never seen the saint who was praised by others. The sword holder and the Lord of the Netherlands, he is more of a 'hearer' about Siegmund's deeds, and what this hearing creates is nothing more than a very distant back view.

　　He has never received the orthodox education that the Völsung family should have, so he has no real sense of the word "Völsung" and the glory behind it.

　　Although Hoder has not yet been able to dig out all of Siegfried's thoughts with just one glance, the slightly reluctant complexity on Siegfried's face illustrates one point: He has zero sense of belonging.

　　However, Hoder was not in a hurry to say anything. The dialogue logic of these NPCs was all regular. Knowing that Siegfried would eventually embark on this path, he was not worried about the contradiction he was showing at this moment.

　　To put it bluntly, this is just the twists and turns the game gives players. Even though Siegfried's complicated and helpless vision is extremely real, so real that one doubts that he is not an NPC, but a real person, but Hoder After all, I have long passed the stage of being crazy about games.

　　So he didn't speak. Rather than being impatient or persuading, he wanted to hear Siegfried's own side of the story at the moment, which would help him figure out the NPC's dialogue logic.

　　Then, the two of them remained silent. Hoder had been silent since he initially asked the question about 'ideas', while Siegfried covered his face. He sighed, and Finally, he finally broke the deadlock.

　　"To be honest, I don't know what I should do. Originally, I had never considered this."

　　When he talked about this, his eyes were clear and there was no dodge, which meant that this young man who had been naughty but extremely upright since childhood was telling the truth.

　　"Even until now, I am actually a little happy in my heart. The legend of the Holy Sword Gram has been circulating in this land, and it is also my... honor to be able to awaken the fragments of the Holy Sword and be recognized. "He spoke intermittently, and the game system perfectly reproduced the kind of panic a person should have.

　　Therefore, he also pointed out this point:

　　"you are afraid"

　　To be honest, Hoder has never seen Siegfried in such a panic. Although he is happy and very happy that he was chosen by the Holy Sword, at the same time, he is not an idiot, Gramm The Holy Sword is also what King Legni is looking for. If he wants to get this sword completely, it means going against the king - at least when Legni finds out.

　　Then, Siegfried finally just nodded slowly.:

　　"Yes..." It was as if he had accepted his fate, and answering this question was like draining all his strength.

　　For the people of Midgard, it is very difficult to admit fear, because it means being deprived of the identity of a warrior, and even this is a shame.

　　But Siegfried still admitted it, not only because he was honest, but more importantly because the person in front of him was one of his only elders.

　　"Uncle Hoder, you should also know that the current king..." He hesitated, obviously thinking of something. He was worried about Hoder's mood and changed his words, "Legni of the Hundings clan has been looking for Gram's whereabouts, and he is also the chosen king."

　　Selected? Chosen by whom?

　　no doubt...

　　Although Hoder is not an authentic Midgardian, he is just a passing player, but he has a deep understanding of the world view in the game after fully experiencing the Netherland quest line and the previous expansion pack.

　　Siegmund can quickly rise as the protagonist in the last expansion pack. In addition to the help of players, various details of the game give hints: these kings are warriors selected by the gods.

　　Siegmund was abandoned... or someone to be recycled. On the battlefield, it was never Legni who broke his holy sword, but that bitch Odin. Hoder once dragged the guild A bunch of people have played Völsung's Sorrow] countless times, and they all know this plot point well.

　　And since Siegmund is a warrior who has been abandoned, Legni's position is very clear: he is the chosen one, and the chosen king and warrior will always have some conveniences, such as...

　　"Are you worried about those Valkyries??"

　　While Siegfried was still preparing his words, these words came to his ears. At the same time, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the helmet that completely covered his face and the expressionless, Pupils like a blind person
