You and Me Under The World Tree

His Royal Highness's face was not as rough as the martial arts he showed, perhaps because he had been dressed and fed since he was a child, his complexion was fair and delicate, and his face could not be described as handsome, even more delicate than Helgi, who had no sense of disobedience in women's clothes.
Completely different from Hoder, whose head was in a state of downturn, the moment the prince took off his horn helmet, Siegfried finally understood why he had to wear the helmet all the time, and he could even think that he could understand why His Royal Highness always wielded two two-handed giant swords, this extremely oppressive swordsmanship was obviously learned to make up for the 'shortcomings' in his face.
When commanding an army, morale is a very important part, and the distinctive but oppressive shape of the claw helmet and the swordsmanship that opens and closes as if sweeping through a thousand armies can boost morale more than a delicate face.
"Since we're friends, let me introduce myself again." After sweeping his red eyes with an inexplicable sense of oppression and discomfort over the people present, he held out his hand to Hodder, "I'm Dietrich. "
"Dietrich Dietmarsen, son of King Dietmar, but they probably prefer to call me Dietrich von Bern from Bern."
It's a long self-introduction, but although it looks long, it's actually not nutritious, at least from this self-introduction, Hoder and his party can't actually get more information.
But in fact, this self-introduction actually made Hoder breathe a sigh of relief, because it wasn't the things he already knew from the intro that came with the expansion that mattered to him as a player, but his voice, which didn't sound rough, but it was clear that it was a teenager's voice.
But even so, he was quite entangled, and although his speech was slightly different, the spelling of the name was the same.
"Huh... "But since His Royal Highness the Prince has stretched out his hand, Hoder will not leave him there, and he will not push Siegfried to the forefront, because this is not an act of respect."
"Just call me Hoder."
"Siegfried."
Although it was only through the metal gauntlet, they did shake hands and show respect and friendship, but there was a little fault in this - Regin.
When Dietrich held the dark-toned English gauntlet in front of him, the old dwarf only took two steps back.
"I don't have the status of a commoner..." he said in an angry voice, his tone looking rather low, "my master can decide everything for me. "
Then, Dietrich didn't say anything, and although the boisterous attitude that Regin had shown before didn't look like a slave would have, but since he said so, Dietrich wouldn't force it.
"Okay." That's all he said
After glancing at his surroundings with his red eyes once more, he put back on his molten iron horn helmet.
Then there was silence again, and Prince Dietrich looked down in thought, as if he were considering his words, and this thoughtful attitude was very similar to that of his wife Dietrich...
Wait, there's something wrong with that! And it's dangerous!
I don't know why, but probably after seeing the somewhat similar silver-white hair, almost the same eye color and face, he had such a feeling, although the voice was completely different, but the tone of his voice was really like a thief.
It's also thanks to Hoder that he had put the frontier helmet back on his head without knowing it, his expression was not fully exposed, otherwise he would have caused the reaction of these NPCs again.
And in this strange atmosphere, His Royal Highness the Prince finally spoke: "For a warrior, weapons and armor are quite important, and in Midgard, good weapons and good armor are hard to find, so I can't let out this armor and rune sword." "
This sentence is very simple, and it also reveals longing...
And more importantly, this is not wrong, there are many excellent warriors in the whole Midgard, but there are quite few excellent weapons, even if the ancient Danish king Harald was favored by Odin since he was a child and was taught to play an effective role on the battlefield such as 'rage and madness', but he has never obtained any magic weapons in his life.
There are two sources of ancient weapons that circulate among Midgard:
The first is linked to the gods, and only those who are favored by the gods receive the divine weapons given by the gods above - for example, the former Siegmund belongs to this category, and the fragments of the hilt of the sword that were shattered by Gungnir are in Regin's space backpack.
The second is the kidnapping of dwarves...
That's right, in Midgard, kidnapping dwarves is actually a very popular activity, because this race that often lives in a world that does not see the light of day has a unique experience and experience of casting and craftsmanship, and can be called the strongest in the Nine Realms, so no matter which race it is, it likes to kidnap dwarves.
For example, King Svafrlami of Norway once kidnapped the dwarf brothers Dvalinn and Durinn, forcing them to build a divine weapon, and then the famous cursed magic sword: Tyrfing, legend has it that its first three owners must have died because of it, but that was at least a hundred years ago, and the current Tyrfing can be said to be missing.
And more importantly, for Prince Dietrich, he didn't need the strongest weapon, he needed the most suitable weapon, an armor and a sword that could fully exert his abilities, and this one was at hand.
"All I can say is sorry if you want to." He spoke, "I won't give up my sword and armor, but I'm willing to give it a promise in exchange." "
Promise...
Among Midgard, promises are important, they are a matter of credibility and even 'oaths', and if they are sworn by magic or something more powerful, even the gods must keep.
To be able to do this, His Royal Highness the Prince can be said to be quite affectionate, at least on the surface.
"You can ask me to do one thing, as long as it is within my ability, as long as it does not harm my country, I will do my best."
This is a promise that belongs to the Gothic prince, and it can be said that it is quite precious, and in this case, there is no reason for Hoder to refuse, right?
"We have accepted this commitment, and we hope that there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"So that's it for today." After hearing Hoder say this, His Royal Highness Prince Dietrich turned and left, and he followed the path he had come from all the way he came, as if he were going to leave like that.
He won't stay here for long... At least not yet.
"When the sun rises tomorrow, I will send soldiers to sweep here, before that... Feel free to do whatever you want. "
Sure enough, this prince is not simple...
When he heard Dietrich's last words, this was the only thought that came to his mind.
A prince can't be a fool... No, perhaps it should be said, that no one here is stupid.
