To be honest, Hoder didn't pay much attention to this so-called dialogue. He didn't mind talking to these NPCs according to their thinking logic, but he wouldn't really try to persuade Siegfried to hold him. There is no need for him to teach Baojian to reach the pinnacle of life.
You must know that the name of this expansion is called [Song of the Nibelungen]. The official promotional video and subsequent text materials also prove that Siegfried is the absolute protagonist in this regard.
Although the broken game "Nine Realms" has always given players the most realistic sensory experience, and even once used "real mythical world" as its selling point and slogan, it is still a game after all, although compared to other games with a fixed process It is already a game with a high degree of freedom, but it still has limitations after all.
For example, in the last expansion piece [The Rise of Völsung], players can choose to fight against Siegmund, but Siegmund with a sword in his hand will eventually rise to unify the Netherlands and reshape Völsung. The glory of the Völsung family is an inevitable epic event, and "Nine Realms" just allows players to experience the main plot from various angles.
Of course, the same goes for the old Siegmund in the dungeon of [The Fall of Völsung]. The old king who has accompanied the player through two years of good times is bound to die, and he cannot be saved no matter what.
Some plots are fixed by the game in this way, and cannot be changed, nor can any damage be done from them. Of course, Siegfried, the protagonist of the "Song of the Nibelungen", is the same. His story has long been written in ancient narrative poems. There is a description in it.
As for the game, although there are various faction strategies in the forum, and even teach players how to trigger and view Siegfried's rise from a different perspective, the details may be slightly different, but as far as the current progress is concerned, However, several famous events related to Siegfried will definitely happen. One is to slay the dragon, and Siegfried will eventually bathe in dragon blood, and the other is to take revenge and regain the throne of the Netherlands.
This is the main tone set by the game, that is to say, no matter how depressed Siegfried is, he will eventually be able to adjust his mentality. Recast, and finally create your own story legend.
So, he can say something like this here:
"It's just a matter of one sentence."
Not serious, what he needs is an answer from Siegfried, and he is sure that Siegfried will definitely give the answer he wants.
But just as he didn't know what Siegfried was thinking, Siegfried also didn't know what kind of mentality his uncle was in. It would be natural for those words to fall into the player's ears, but he was different.
To Siegfried, this sounded like 'it doesn't matter', which made him feel a little dissatisfied.
He was already at a young and energetic age, and the youthful vigor was vividly reflected on his face. The NPC acted as if it really had a soul, and it was not empty at all.
He even felt that Siegfried would complain about his attitude in the next moment, but just when Hoder was ready to deal with his complaints, the young NPC lowered his always arrogant head.
Of course, he is an arrogant child. If he is in front of other peers today, or even no peers, even if his adoptive father Regin speaks in such a slightly disdainful tone in front of him, he will contradict him. If both parties have a bad temper, they may even quarrel directly.
But now the person in front of him is Hoder...
For Siegfried, this is his relative, he taught him to read and write, taught him how to practice swords, and told him adventure stories outside, not to mention now, he still knows that this man in front of him is always protecting him.
It is hard for Siegfried to imagine what it would be like for a person to live alone with the hilt of the holy sword in his arms, facing the possible pursuers of Legni and even the Valkyries who helped Legni. life, not to mention that every once in a while he would find time to come to the most dangerous place for him to visit him.
He is not a father, but the feeling he brings to Siegfried is like a parent who is not good at words. He is kind to him, so he should bow his head.
"Uncle, what do you think?" After a moment of silence, he just asked such a question.
This should have been Hoder's question, but the kid kicked the ball back to him, which made him dumbfounded.
However, this is not what Siegfried did on purpose, the look on the child's face is not fake, anyone can see that he is confused at the moment.
Maybe this is the key point. Players only need to give him a little push in this regard. For example, Hoder can say as an elder, 'I hope you can become a famous hero like your father. ' and the like.
Even if you put aside any game strategies, if you just count Siegfried as an independent person, he still thinks he will accept it, because Hoder's own status is not ordinary after all. His current identity is Siegfried's elder, if he said so, he would definitely accept it half-heartedly.
It was such a simple matter, but when Hoder was about to speak, he froze in place.
I don't know if it's because I've done too many dungeons of [Völsunger's War], the previous high-intensity brushing thirty times a day has branded the dilapidated royal city and the corpses everywhere in my mind, and in the end, What imprinted in his mind was the old face of Siegmund before his death.
"I also have a son, Hoder, take care of him for me..."
At this moment, he could even directly recall his last words, which were similar to each other, and which he had heard countless times.
"I don't know which god is the one who dubbed Siegmund. I remember this voice for so long." Hoder muttered softly
He did speak, but his voice was too low, and Siegfried couldn't hear clearly for a while, so he couldn't help showing a puzzled look.
"Uncle, what did you say?"
"No, I mean, I won't force you to make a choice." Seeing Siegfried's face similar to Siegmund's, Hoder finally just said, "Your father, before you die Just let me take good care of you, of course, and your mother, but she is doing well now, so I don't need to worry about anything."
my mother...?
After hearing this unfamiliar word to him, Siegfried was a little dazed, but because it was so unfamiliar, he didn't care about it.
He has more things to care about than his mother...
"I mean, what if I give up Gram?" he said
All of a sudden, his voice became dry.
