You and me under the world tree

"I've only heard that this monster is also good at changing. It is said that it will transform into a human being to attract men or women, and drag them into the water to eat them. I didn't expect it to have this kind of combat power when fully exerted."

When the tall ship was far away and the horse-shaped water monster was completely out of sight, Hilda could not help but take a deep breath.

She's brave, it's true.

But at the same time, it was the first time for her to experience actual combat. Even though she was just escaping in a boat, she always felt that her heart was beating faster.

"I think, if it were me, I might have to work hard to get that guy."

As for losing?

Regarding this point, Hildaco never thought about it, because she never thought that she would lose.

After all, her physique is no better than ordinary people, and the equipment on her body is not comparable to the Holy Sword, but it is also in the elite category.

For example, bow and arrow.

If she were to deal with the horse-shaped water monster, she would use at least five arrows that were obviously linked to magic to deal with it, nothing more than 'burning money'.

After all, all the arrows she carried were designed and processed by herself, and it took her two days to work on one arrow, and this bag of arrows was her hard work of nearly two months.

But, what a pity.

Siegfried just shook his head when he heard Hilda say that.

"You have no chance to fight it."

"Ok?"

"Because it can't get out of here alive."

At this moment, Hilda couldn't help showing a look of surprise, because she didn't understand Siegfried's words at all.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because there is a reason for this peculiar biological chain in the northern sea."

Whether it's the fighting between ghouls or the predation and hunting of giant sea beasts, their requirement is to ensure a certain degree of quietness.

"Huge light sources and heat sources are forbidden things, and what makes these monsters and ghouls reach a certain consensus is actually their instinct."

instinct……

"fear?"

Hilda's mind was turning fairly quickly.

"Yes, after all, there is a big guy here that can make all creatures tremble. In order not to disturb the guy with extremely sensitive senses at the bottom of the deep sea, they have maintained a certain degree of restraint whether it is fighting or preying."

At the end, he couldn't help but pause.

"Of course this is not sensible, it's just a fear engraved in the bone."

…………

At the same time, just as the building boat was leaving, the water monster finally crushed all the enemies.

However, its extremely simple mind found that there were more and more ghouls without brains, and even other types of monsters appeared among them.

It can only keep fighting.

And at the end, a voice that made it tremble all over began to reverberate.

The sound spread so far that even Siegfried and Hilda, who had already left the battle, could hear it.

"Hiss~ hiss."

"snake……?"

In the slightly dark mist, a thick figure appeared in Hilda's sight.

A biological instinctive sense of fear surfaced in my heart, and that looming figure seemed to have a fatal suppression on everything in the ocean.

It was just a glimpse, but she felt inexplicably unable to move.

But what was a little strange was that, apart from these instincts, she also felt an inexplicable kindness.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the end, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Originally, at Lou Chuan, Hilda felt that he could still hear the sound of fighting over there.

The horse-shaped water monster's unique neighing like a war horse is still lingering here.

And I don't know if it's because it's too quiet here, the neighing of the horse-shaped water monster even spreads far.

Hilda felt that even if he drove the boat a little further away, he would still hear it.

However, these are all gone.

Accompanied by the deep snake-like hiss that could be heard farther away, all the sounds disappeared.

It was as if nothing had ever existed behind that dark mist.

For Hilda, who was one of the witnesses, the most impressive thing was naturally the body.

That huge body has obviously surpassed Hilda's cognition.

She knew that it was definitely not the size of ordinary sea monsters, and more importantly, it surpassed most sea monsters in terms of body width alone.

"It's like a city wall."

For a while, the incoherent Hilda could only use such pale adjectives in the end.

Yes, the city walls.

Just looking at the width, she has the feeling that only the walls of the various royal cities are so wide to resist the enemy.

However, this is a sea snake, and it has a nearly circular structure!

And, more importantly, its length.

In the faint glimpse, Hilda did not see its specific image.

She could judge that the other party seemed to be a 'snake', and this was only because she heard the neighing sound of spitting out letters.

The opponent's head must be above the water, otherwise the hissing sound would not have come.

So, where is the tail of this 'snake'?

Once she thought of the fact that the other party's body was still underwater, she felt a shuddering feeling.

How long?

How big is it?

And more importantly, she doesn't seem to know everything about it.

Even in such a state where the brain is not daring to move, it still faithfully performs its duties.

And the knowledge accumulated in her mind also 'contributed' to the final answer at this moment.

"I remember that in the legend, there should be only one monster with this size." Hilda said

At this moment, her voice was obviously a little dry.

"According to the legend, the giant snake is a disaster for the world. The so-called king of the gods suppressed the giant snake under the deep sea of ​​the world when it was young. As the size of the giant snake expanded, the giant snake gradually grew, but its body was only Can curl up and wrap Midgard."

This story can be said to be familiar.

Although the version of this story circulating in the world does not tell the origin of the so-called giant snake that caused disasters to the world, no one has seen any villages destroyed by the giant snake.

After all, it has been too long.

It has been too long since the era when the legendary giant snake was suppressed, and even the so-called relics may not be found today.

However, along with the spread of these legends related to the gods, the name of the giant snake has finally been handed down.

"Yemengard."

Just when Hilda was inexplicably lost in thought, Siegfried opened his mouth to fill in the last name.

"It is said that its body can grow to surround the whole world, and the sea area under our feet is where its head is located."

"But it shouldn't pop up from time to time, right?"

"It is easily attracted by some 'lively' things, as long as it is kept quiet to a certain extent and does not let a lot of light or temperature touch the water, it will not float up."

Siegfried gave an affirmative answer.

However, such an answer actually couldn't make Hilda let go of his vigilance.

In the end, the princess tried her best to calm down her emotions.

From the beginning to the end, her gaze was on Siegfried's eyes - still bloodthirsty red as if filled with blood.

She can operate the ship as she likes, as long as she stands on the deck, she can freely control the speed of the ship.

So, without making a fuss, she gradually slowed down the speed of the boat.

"Then, the next question is only one, who are you?"

"Before asking questions, I think you should learn how to disguise yourself. It is not a good thing to write questions and doubts on your face."

Facing Hilda's question, Siegfried didn't answer directly, he just said these words in a subtle tone.

This is a fact.

When hearing the 'Siegfried' in front of him say that, Hilda was also a little speechless.

She tried her best to keep her composure, but from the beginning to the end, she couldn't take her eyes off Siegfried.

Not to mention that now, she was still staring into his eyes.

If she looked away, she might still be able to pretend better.

But she couldn't move away, because at this moment, she was a little anxious.

Even until now, she is still a little anxious.

"That's not the point, there's no one else here!"

In the end, the anxiety in Hilda's heart still affected her words, and when she spoke, she couldn't help but bring her own emotions.

"I just want to know who you are. The real Siegfried cannot understand the northern seas."

Then, 'Siegfried' laughed.

The corners of his mouth were raised, and a smile could not help but hang on his face.

"Yes, it is indeed impossible for the real Siegfried to understand the northern seas, because no one would come to such a place without incident."

Hilda knew that this was not a joke, nor was she jumping to conclusions.

Because she already knew how cruel the northern sea was, even Iceland and Norway, which were the closest, had abandoned this sea and let it be treated like a garbage dump.

But because of this, Hilda's mind was blank at the moment, because she had no clue at all.

And subconsciously, she also set her eyes on the wooden hilt behind him.

Under the dark sky, a man and a woman confront each other.

"The holy sword of wrath, very few people can use it, here even only Siegfried can use it."

Yes, that's right!

but why?

"Hmph, because he's too fragile." Seeing her doubts from Hilda's face, he said, "As a fighter, he must be strong, but the result is somewhat disappointing. In the northern seas that tested his will, his heart and spirit were lost."

Seeing that man say such things with Siegfried's face, Hilda couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

"I don't care where you come from, but I know, you don't know him at all! He just..."

"How was it before? Do you think the blows in life are just these?"

heart palpitations

When the scarlet gaze of 'Siegfried' swept over so straightly, Hilda couldn't help but feel his heart throbbing.

he will kill himself...

For a moment, she really thought so.

But in the end, 'Siegfried' still shook his head.
