You and Me Under The World Tree

Every step a wise man takes needs to be carefully considered, and taking one step or three is considered the most basic operation.
And in Midgard, although the overall atmosphere has been moving in the direction of martial arts and barbarism, it does not mean that the people here are the kind of idiots whose brains are blocked by muscles. Although their traditions It is bloody and unreasonable, but since the concept of 'country' has been born, it means that they have begun to pay attention to 'interests'.
In this case, it is impossible not to use your brain. As long as you are in a high position, even a person like Legni will use a little bit of his brain. And as long as it is linked to the word "interest", something that is quite simple can be done. It gets complicated.
A prince with extraordinary strength cannot act alone. An incident that could have been solved in just two or three days has to be delayed for a week. Maybe for ordinary soldiers, they have tried their best, but if they look at it from a 'overlook' If you look at it from another angle, you will find that the speed is really too slow.
And in fact, it is not the so-called exploration that slows down the speed. Nearly half of the week's exploration and search time is spent on 'reporting'. For His Royal Highness, the time spent listening to the reports of each scout captain is too much. It was enough for him to run around the entire Jura Mountains.
"Tsk..." After the soldiers on patrol at night reported to him the night's defense, the prince raised his hand and lightly knocked on the table in front of him.
To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with the results of the exploration in the past seven days, because the progress of the northwest exploration was too slow.
But he had no other choice. He had to wait here until those soldiers truly realized that there were things they couldn't do, and then he had sufficient reason to take action.
 Annoyed, irritable...
His metal finger guard is clasped on the table, and the clear and regular sound contains lingering irritability. Once this extremely monotonous sound spreads for a long time, it will also drive people around him. People's emotions, no matter how determined their mood and will are, can't help but be disturbed.
The same is certainly true of the hero of the Gothic Kingdom, Master Hildebrand, who is older than the current King Dietmar. Although he has tended to feel calm and has gained enough both glory and praise, But this mentality is still disturbed by his current disciples.
"You should calm down." Looking at the prince in the eagle-patterned sheep helmet, Hildebrand said.
Then, His Highness the Prince glanced at him. The eyes under the horned helmet, which looked like condensed blood, were inexplicably uncomfortable. Even heroes like Hildebrand couldn't help but look away. .
"You are a prince after all, Your Highness, and the future of the entire Gothic Kingdom depends on you."
He did not speak, but Hildebrand's persuasion did have an effect. His Royal Highness the Prince could not abandon his responsibility and identity. This was instilled in him by his parents and Hildebrand as a teacher since he was a child.
And under this responsibility, he has a maturity far beyond his peers, and his step-by-step approach surprises everyone.
 But in the final analysis, His Royal Highness is still too young...
Although outsiders' impression of him has always been that he is decisive and hard to contact, and that cold feeling almost radiates from the inside out, as the teacher of His Highness the Prince, Hildebrand always pays attention to his age.
He is actually not that old. The age of less than 20 is actually the time when he is young and vigorous. In fact, His Royal Highness the Gothic Prince is actually more violent than ordinary people think, and that kind of violence comes from him. You can see the way he fights with two swords in his hands.
Therefore, Hildebrand was not too harsh. After all, he knew that the status of prince itself brought great pressure to him, and he was already doing much better than his peers.
At the same time, Hildebrand also began to feel inexplicably angry in his heart. He knew why his disciple was so impatient - the man named Hoder said that he knew about the giant stronghold in the Jura Mountains, but he came to On the second day in Bern City, he disappeared.
Although he left his two companions here, and the young man named Siegfried performed really well, the most important thing now is him.
After all, it is natural that such an act of leaving without saying goodbye would make people unhappy, not to mention that he did not tell them about the structure of the giant underground city in the Jura Mountains as he said. If he had said it directly or simply They don't need to go to such trouble to draw a map.
Then, just when the entire big tent was shrouded in a strange silence, the curtain of the big tent was lifted open again.
 "Your Highness the Prince!"
Siegfried, this man with a civilian background is not a soldier, let alone a member of the Gothic Kingdom, because he himself has no self-consciousness in this regard, so he only gave a slight salute to show respect, but for His Royal Highness, what is more important is It was the man following him.
The dress is somewhat similar to that of the prince. Although the style of the armor is different, he also wraps himself in metal protective gear, and his appearance is exactly the same as what he saw before.
 Hoder...
 "You disappeared for a week."
Eventually, the annoying tapping disappeared and was replaced by a statement.
This sentence is true, but when it comes from His Highness the Prince's mouth, the ice coldness in it makes people tremble all over.
Even when his scarlet eyes glanced over like this, the descendant of Völsung couldn't help but take a step back. Although he later felt a little embarrassed and wanted to continue taking a step forward, but that kind of The feeling of oppression was so severe that he didn't know what to do for a while.
The prince of the Goths is of course different from Siegfried, the 'mud-legged' man who became a monk halfway. Even though the son of Siegmund has actually experienced a military career and has theoretically seen blood, his victory over the Goths The prince is still not a person of the same level.
But in the final analysis, Siegfried was just the one who was implicated. Hoder had no reason to let the child carry it for him, so at this time, he just gently stretched out his hand to block the child Siegfried behind him.
"I just arrived a little earlier than you, and then I searched this place carefully. After all, it was a long time ago that I last came here."
 "So, the result?"
"There are a few minor changes here compared to what I remember, but generally I know how to get there."
After all, Hoder is not a subject of the Goths. Since he is not a member of the Gothic Kingdom, there is no need to show any humility, and more importantly, his reasons here can be said to be sufficient, even if that The prince looked at him like this, and he wouldn't flinch in any way.
 And finally...
"Well, let's go." He stood up from his seat, and then directly picked up the two giant swords that seemed to have a certain weight that he placed beside them.
 "Hilt, I leave this to you."
He acted more decisively than Hoder imagined, which seemed a bit rash, but this is normal, because there has been a complete character analysis of the Gothic prince on the forum, and the conclusion drawn by those analysts is: Pride.
