It was hot under the mountains, and at this time, Dietrich, who had returned to the ground, did not summon his nightmare war horse Falke.His Royal Highness the Gothic Prince merely walked calmly along the rugged road of the Northwest Mountains with a slow pace.It would take quite some time to walk all the way from the trap town that the giants had placed on the surface to the Guards' camp, but during that time, Dietrich had no words.He listened to the sound of the breeze, to the chirping of birds wandering through the woods, and finally he stopped."AhhAlthough the voice coming from the throat is slightly neutral, and even vaguely reveals the immaturity of youth, this voice is male after all.Moreover, with a slight adjustment of pronunciation skills, the voice could be adjusted to the indifferent and deep tone that his soldiers and those around him were already familiar with.This was the voice he had used for a long time, ever since he traveled as a young man and returned as a prince.In fact, he was quite satisfied with this voice, which could not only show the unique youthfulness of his age, but also use the cover of the helmet to create the indifferent but hideous temperament that the soldiers were familiar with.But this time it was different, and I don't know if it was because he had just come out of the ground, and Dietrich had such an inexplicable annoyance in his heart.Having trouble breathing?The armor is too hot?What kind of reason it was, even His Royal Highness the Prince himself couldn't figure it out, he just stood calmly in place.But this time he wasn't just listening to the breeze and the crisp chirping of birds, he was just thinking about one thing: about the man named Hoder and the people around him.Although he had theoretically only met twice, the warrior had made a deep impression on him, the first time in the small town of Hergrim, the first time they had worked together in theory, and the second time was now.Although according to the formal thinking and statement, this is only the first time they have cooperated, he is now looking forward to their next meeting and cooperation.There are definitely plenty of opportunities for collaboration between them...This is not Dietrich's speculation, but a fact, after all, although the current Gothic kingdom seems to be strong, there are many hidden dangers both externally and internally.Even in the long battle, even Dietrich himself was already in a dangerous position, so he needed an 'ally' who could not get close to the gods, because he did not have any good feelings for them.Hoder and the man he had always brought with him, Siegfried, would probably be good allies, and the promises and conversations they had made were nothing more than negotiations and investments.As he expected, the man didn't think of it as a simple 'friendly conversation between friends', he was always on his toes, and he was always so easy to talk to smart people.However, it would be nice if the atmosphere could be a little better...His thoughts were genuine, even if he had to act in his shoes as a prince for the good of the Gothic kingdom, but at the same time, he did want to be friends with those people.Although the idea came from his sincere belief that he hated the Valkyries who conveyed the will of the gods, it was sincere.After all, he was still too lonely, as a figure who was friendly with giants and had no sense of gods, he really couldn't understand the traditions of the people around him, even his teacher Hildebrand was in awe of the gods and Valkyries.If it weren't for those women, he would have led his troops into the current royal city of the Netherlands, and was the war fought for those women?Thinking of this, Dietrich couldn't help but raise his palm, and he looked at the palm of his hand, unable to take his eyes off it.Finally, he raised his hand and drew a rune in his palm, which his good friend Princess Zebul had taught him.Then, as the runes maintained, he gently removed his claw helmet and put his hand to his mouth as if he were yawning."AhhGently, he made a sound, this voice was completely different from the previous male voice, it belonged to a woman's voice, although it was slightly cold and even a little cool, but it was indeed him... Or rather, her original voice."Really... Stupid. "......"Boom"At the same time, on the edge of the Giant's Furnace, two forgers had completely raised the Giant's Furnace, the Rune Furnace did not need any fuel at all, and among the entire Nine Realms, the best was also the Furnace with runes engraved.This kind of furnace is quite easy to start, but for this giant furnace of Grinheim, they still have to check the integrity of the runes, so when the furnace is burning, the old dwarf is not idle.He ran up and down, checking the runes he had once engraved in the room, and finally even checked the integrity of the protective runes on the outside of the furnace up close..."Alright, almost..." Regin shouted as he reached out and patted the furnace's shell vigorously.As a good blacksmith, he has always been passionate about the cause of 'blacksmithing', and more importantly, it is the only dignity he has left after leaving his status as the second prince of Gurnita Hyde."In short, the armor and weapons we have on hand have melted down, separating the part of the Asa Divine Iron." He saidAt this time, his hand was also attached to the bricks of the huge furnace, and with his manipulation, the fire of the entire furnace seemed to decrease slightly."Now that the temperature is adjusted, let's separate the hardened Mithril first."Midgard's Mithril, Alfheim's Light Cast Iron, and Asgard's Asesir Iron are the structures of weapons and armor used by ordinary Valkyries to parade through the mortal world, and the melting point is also ranked from low to high.What's more, their melting points are divided by thousands of degrees, so there is no need to worry about the separation being unclean.But at this moment, Hoder didn't move, he didn't take out the Valkyries mixed with Aesir's iron from his inventory, he didn't speak, his eyes just stared at Regin."Hoder?""Regin, your skin ..."If he hadn't noticed anything before because of the light and the hurry, now, in the light of the furnace fire, Hoder had noticed something unusual about the old dwarf.His face ...No, it's better to say the whole face, his old face is like cracked glass at this moment, there is no blood, just simply cracked.
