No one knew about the episode in Asgard. During the time when the conversation in Valhalla was taking place, Hoder and his party had already galloped away from the scope of the royal city on their divine steeds.
Grani is an excellent war horse. As the heir of Sleipnir, she gallops like the wind. Whether it is a river or a jungle, it is as smooth as walking on the ground, and even crossing mountains and mountains is quite simple.
It is worth mentioning that Siegfried really wanted to try to use Grani to climb the cliff directly and vertically, relying on this point to directly climb over the mountain that was supposed to be detoured, but this was rejected in the end because it would be too much for him. Too much shit for Regin.
Hoder has excellent riding skills, Siegfried is the master of Grani, the two of them can hold Grani steadily even if they are vertical, but Regin can't, his riding skills are average, and now it is even more difficult to wait. In the basket on Grani's body, if Grani is really allowed to climb the cliff vertically, something will happen to him.
It was also for this reason that Hoder and the others temporarily set up camp in the jungle at the foot of the mountain.
The campfire ignited with runes was burning quietly. Regin took out his wooden door and split it into firewood with a small axe, while showing a distressed expression.
"Mine are the best wood." He thought to himself
For Regin, an old dwarf who can't wait to get in and out, the distress is of course real, because these are not only wood, but also the crystallization of his brainchild.
The game world view of "The Nine Realms" also introduces this. The dwarves are a strange race. Greed is their nature, but they never like to use other people's creations. They are well-known craftsmen and blacksmiths in the entire Nine Realms. A family, they only like to wear the armor they forged, only like to use the weapons they forged, and of course, they only like to live in their own houses.
Even Regin lived in the royal city at that time. He knocked down all the original houses and built them from scratch, brick by brick. Whether it was the shop, the furnace or the house behind the shop, he designed and built it himself. , which of course also includes two wooden doors.
But even so, he had no intention of showing any mercy to his 'blood'. The wood-chopping ax in his hand fell very fast, and after a while, a wooden door was chopped into firewood by himself.
"Okay, I've split the firewood." After putting away his axe, Regin wiped the sweat from his forehead, and at the same time, a bowl of steaming broth was handed to him.
"Ok?"
When Regin looked up, what he saw was Siegfried's handsome smile.
"Uncle just finished cooking."
"Ah, Hoder." Regin was not polite either. After chopping firewood, he was really hungry and thirsty, so he simply took the bowl of broth and drank it.
To be honest, there is actually nothing delicious in the wild, just put some Midgard-specific seasonings and cook a pot of broth. The most important thing is to be full.
But I don't know if it was because Regin was really hungry, he drank it very quickly, even though the broth was still a little hot, he just finished it in one gulp, and then he took a long breath.
"Is there any meat? Bring me some." He shook his bowl, staring straight at the man sitting under the big tree.
Hoder, this man is still wearing his own helmet, his fingers are sliding in the air very regularly, those who don't know it may think he is humming music, but Regin is indeed the kind of person who doesn't know, So he really thinks so.
So involuntarily, he spoke again:
"Hoder?"
"Let me come, Uncle, he may be a little tired." Seeing that Hoder's swipe fingers stopped, Siegfried took the initiative to take the bowl, and then used a big spoon to scoop it into the cauldron on top of the campfire A piece of beef came out.
Of course, Siegfried guessed half of it right. Hoder was actually quite tired. Because of the sensory simulation, he now felt mentally and physically exhausted, but he was not so tired that he could not speak.
The reason why he didn't respond to Regin before was just because he was looking at other things, such as his status panel, task bar and skill tree, because he had unlocked a lot of things in the previous mission, and it was not enough to fully digest them. what a simple thing.
For example, the brand-new skill tree, it presents the image of a dragon head, and you can probably draw a complete dragon head by following the skills one by one.
And this thing is different from weapon skills, a bit like a sub-job, but it is a separate column. You can't click on weapon skills, you can only click on free skills, and the start is quite cheap, even newbies can start.
However, Hoder didn't rush to spend all the skill points he had accumulated. The reason was that this skill tree was a bit unstable.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help calling up his status bar again, and then clicked on the permanent buff.
[Permanent Status: Curse of the Evil Dragon]
[Increase basic attributes by 10% (growable)]
This is the most basic, and it seems that there is no problem, but the important thing is not the buff it provides, but the line below.
[Using too much evil dragon power, or delaying for too long, players will lose their human form]
And I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Hoder always feels that he is very hungry now, he has never felt this kind of overly hungry before.
Maybe it's time to eat something?
Thinking of this, Hoder also took off his helmet, directly revealing that somewhat uncle-like, but not old face, and at this moment, whether it was Siegfried or Regin, they all stopped. action on.
"Well, what are you looking at me for?"
"No..." Regin patted himself on the head when Hodere finally spoke, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, being able to run around wearing a battle armor at an 'advanced age' of human beings is not a normal person at all Speaking of which, Siegfried and I were worried that you might die suddenly in the palace."
"I'm a mixed race..."
"Isn't father or mother human?"
"Yeah, but that's beside the point."
Okay, that's the end of the topic. There are really not many mixed-race humans in Midgard. The gods come down to have a fight with mortals when they have nothing to do. It seems that some people even married the wives of the frost giants, but anyway, Midgard Degart's mixed-race humans are really not rare, and their life spans are indeed longer than ordinary humans.
After the initial surprise, neither Siegfried nor Regin asked any more questions. After all, bloodlines are personal privacy.
"Let's re-plan the route. Now we have run out of the area around the king's city. Not far from here is a small town in the Netherlands, and next to it is the fortress of the Hundings clan." After all, Regin once had After a long time of wandering, he just pointed his fingers on the ancient parchment map, "Compared to the period of Völsung's rule, the territory of the Netherlands today is extremely shrinking, but at the same time, the military strength is also very small. more focused."
His thinking is very reasonable. If the arrest warrant is sent out quickly, it may not take two days for the soldiers in the Netherlands to take action, and Hoder and his party will completely become street rats.
but...
"Legni will have no pursuers."
"Huh?" Just as Regin was spitting out a standard running plan, Hoder's words blocked his thoughts completely.
This feeling was like stuffing a hard iron block into a fast-rotating gear part, and Regin's expression suddenly became extremely uncomfortable.
"What did you do?" he asked
"I slaughtered the entire palace. If the Valkyrie hadn't intervened, I could have slaughtered Legni together."
"hiss..."
