You and Me Under The World Tree

Regin's impression of the man named Hoder was similar to that of Siegfried, but because he lived a long time, he knew more. This man was a distinguished guest of the Völsung royal family and was King Sigismund. Germany's most trusted lieutenant, he has a transcendent status in the entire royal family. Even the princes in the past have the necessary respect for him. Therefore, he waved his hand and let him wander in Völsung. stay

　　After all, Regin himself was just a blacksmith, and as an excellent blacksmith, he did not receive much harsh punishment. Even if Legni carried out a crazy bloodbath against the Völsung clan, those who were loyal to Siegmund were not expelled. He was brutally killed after leaving the Netherlands, but Regin still survived because his craftsmanship was valued by the new king. He needed the weapons Regin made to arm his soldiers and warriors, so he could Keep living here

　　But Hoder is different. Although he only heard about it, Regin knew that he seemed to have participated in Siegmund's final battle. He even went to other places to ask for help when the war fell into decline, and was completely defeated by Siegmund. After his death, he mysteriously disappeared. After several meetings, he handed over the boy Siegfried to him to raise.

　　Just like in the past, he appeared from time to time and disappeared, but now, this elusiveness has been answered.

　　"No wonder you haven't been in Völsung or even the Netherlands in these years. You were wandering around with this thing. "Regin said. He reached out and touched the ancient sword hilt that was casually placed on the table. There was a hint of lingering complexity and admiration in his eyes.

　　Hoder didn't need to speak at all, and his clever mind figured out the whole story. He first escorted the former queen to Denmark, and after Queen Hjördís gave birth to Siegfried and finally decided to marry When he gave it to King Elf of Denmark, he brought the young Siegfried back to Völsung, allowing him to live and grow here as an ordinary person.

　　During this period, it can be said that Siegfried had no worries. Living as Regin's adopted son and apprentice, his life was guaranteed at the most basic level. No one would trouble him, but the one carrying the missing pieces of Gram Hoder is different. He is the equivalent of a street rat in Volsung and even the entire Netherlands.

　　Wandering around with the Holy Sword for nearly twenty years, what kind of life has it been like? You must know that the current king Legni has been looking for the legendary holy sword in the tree. This hot potato has been hidden by him until now.?

　　"Your forging skills are not bad. You should be able to collect materials while adventuring around..." Regin said this, but his eyes kept glancing at the sword on Hoder's body, "You can definitely keep it as your own. , this is much better than your sword. Gram is the pinnacle of our dwarves. Its era is even older than the entire Midgard. You can live up to its reputation by holding it."

　　Regin's words were very encouraging. There was no reason why this sarcastic dwarf could prosper under Legni's hands. Apart from his forging skills, he claimed that as long as he had the materials, he could make anything for you. , his flattery and team-building skills are also unmatched.

　　After hearing what he said, Huo De felt that he was at a disadvantage by not hiding the sword hilt and instead offering it out.

　　"But that makes no sense"

　　Looking at the word "mission item" that appeared on the hilt of the sword, Hoder sighed in his heart.

　　The player base is like this. Even if you have some amazing magic weapon on hand, as long as you can't actually enter the equipment column to become an equipment item or prop, it is useless. Hoder has also handled many holy swords before. Magic swords, axes, hammers, etc., but those things are useless at all.

　　People who play online games should be very familiar with this situation. No matter how powerful the mission description is, you still have to replace it with real mission rewards to support your family.1

　　"It makes no sense..." After hearing Hoder's complicated voice, Regin felt something stuck in his throat.

　　Really, what a noble hero, the name of the sage is truly worthy of the name, just like when he rescued the penniless himself, even though due to the disparity in strength, he considered selling the man in front of him several times. Even if a giant comes to replace himself with a life-saving charm, he has no regrets

　　Even later, he arranged a place for himself to live by his blacksmithing skills, without asking for any compensation.

　　"Okay, but only a true hero can hold this holy sword, Siegfried...."

　　"he is"

　　Regin probably wanted to deny the identity of the apprentice boy, but before he could speak, Hoder blocked his words. Even at this time, Regin only felt that the gray eyes under the helmet revealed something disturbing. palpitation of brilliance

　　In fact, this fierce light made Regin swallow his saliva.

　　He remembered that although he had never really seen his face, he had once seen the eyes inside through the slits of the helmet - without any expression, his little thoughts seemed to be invisible under this look. Escape like that

　　"Okay, okay, he is his son after all. "In the end, he still chose to change his story.

　　"Wait, whose child am I??"

　　Although the conversation between Hoder and Regin made him feel confused, Siegfried still noticed the key points in the words, and the amount of information was a bit overwhelming for him.

　　Holy Sword Gram...

　　Although Legni has ruled the Netherlands for nearly twenty years, the story about the previous Siegmund has never faded, and the undefeated tree-sword Gram in his hand has never faded away. It attracted widespread attention, because since the death of King Siegmund, the Holy Sword seemed to have disappeared. Siegfried never thought that he would be able to see the Holy Sword that had disappeared for twenty years here, even if it was just fragments

　　"Uncle, you..." He stammered a little, as if he had something to say, but at this moment, the heavy-armored warrior suddenly threw the broken hilt of his sword over.

　　"eh eh eh?!!"

　　Just when Siegfried subconsciously caught the smooth-touch hilt, the ancient runes on the holy sword in the tree flashed past.

　　it wakes up...

　　"Uncle, this sword..."

　　At this time, Siegfried was a little incoherent. As an ordinary blacksmith apprentice, he wanted to put down the sword in his hand, but after all, young people all have heroic dreams, and his desire for magical weapons made him want this Tree Strong Sword can't put it down, even if it's just a fragment, but he believes that as long as a good blacksmith recasts it, it will definitely shine with its legendary glory again.

　　get it...

　　His thoughts were so simple, but at the same time, a contradiction emerged in his heart: did it really belong to him??

　　After all, it was his uncle who took out the hilt of the sword, and without him speaking, he didn't dare to do anything beyond his reach.

　　"Uncle..." he shouted

　　But at this time, Hoder did not respond at all. His exposed eyes were like godless whirlpools, as if he was looking at something else through Siegfried.

　　After seeing this look, Regin couldn't help but sigh.

　　He felt that he roughly understood what Hoder was thinking....

　　"You haven't gotten over that battle yet, have you??"
