You and me under the world tree

Not to mention her, even other people, as long as they are mentally normal, they will never deliberately connect what happened in the northern sea area with the outside world.

After all, Hodd didn't say anything before. His words and Hilda's self-exposed identity gave people the feeling that Iceland and the Volsunger clan had joined forces.

After all, no matter what, Siegfried is considered the nephew of the current King Gripal, and even Hevale in the northern seas knows this blood relationship.

What she didn't expect, however, was that Norway and Iceland would get mixed up.

"That is to say, the king wants to use his extremely powerful son-in-law to retrieve the magic sword for him?"

"Yes."

"Even, he entrusted him to deal with us?"

When mentioning this, He Huale couldn't help showing a trace of resentment in his eyes.

Hodder probably knew who this grievance was targeting, but he didn't want to care, so he just continued rowing.

"Your existence is ultimately a threat to Gevarus, especially you."

When Hodder said this, Hewale didn't refute anything, of course she understood this.

More than 20 years, this time is not enough to make people forget the composition of his throne - corpses and blood.

And let alone Norway, the important thing is that the neighboring strange kingdom also remembers the source of his throne.

Of course, in fact, no one cares about bloodline inheritance and kingdom tradition, but other kingdoms don't mind using the righteousness represented by Hewale's identity to cause trouble.

"This is inevitable. As long as I reveal my identity, his throne will be threatened."

As for whether Gevarus knew about the existence of Hewale, this kind of thing is actually not important.

The important thing is that the "pirate forces" in the northern waters have already been integrated. When Hewale began to escort some merchant ships who were unwilling to take the official waterway, the news was destined to be known to the outside world.

And in this regard, the facts are never important, what matters is the perception of others.

"That... Can Breda really kill a sea monster that is making trouble with one blow?"

In the end, Hewale turned the topic to someone else.

After all, killing sea monsters single-handedly, most of the heroes in the Atrium World since ancient times can do it.

However, these heroes did not do it by their own strength.

Hewale had heard most of the stories, and knew that most of them were armed with magical weapons, either they were favored by the gods, or they had other adventures.

In short, in this Midgard, it is actually not as difficult as imagined to fight against an army with one person.

Moreover, it was precisely because of this reason that He Huale's complexion became ugly.

She wouldn't marvel at anything at this moment, because he knew it was possible.

The North Wind Pirates seem to be strong, but they use the terrain.

If Gevarus was really lucky and used his daughter to recruit such a son-in-law, then...

In the end, Hewale, who became more and more anxious, set his sights on Hodder.

"How does he compare to you?"

"I said, not under me."

"The sage is amazingly talented, and he is famous for being cautious. I think Your Excellency..."

Then, Hervale's polite tone stopped.

Is it because I am not used to talking about such scenes, or is my heart too impatient?

She didn't know it herself, anyway she just shook her head at the end.

"Forget it, I just want to ask, how sure are you?"

She doesn't like to beat around the bush, but that doesn't mean she's an idiot.

When Hodder told her most of the news she knew, she had already realized the purpose of the sage.

There is no one to follow, only two people travel together, which in the eyes of some people is simply an excellent opportunity to attack.

In other words, the sage made them bait together.

Well, if the enemy behind the scenes launches an attack, they...

"There is no absolute certainty in everything, Miss Howler." Slowly shaking the oar, Hodder said, "However, I can ensure your safety."

"Can you explain everything clearly?"

After hearing Hodd's response, Hewale couldn't help feeling agitated.

"This matter is also related to me."

"In case any conflict breaks out, we will not fight alone. After all, we are not the only ones who have hatred against them."

"Could it be..."

Just when Hodder said that, Hewale's thoughts suddenly thought of a certain huge figure.

The overlord of the northern seas...

This kind of association is not without reason, because Hodder mentioned it before, Gevarus' son-in-law: Breda knows that Yemengard is not the kind of beast that does not understand the language.

but……

"He... didn't use the same means of communication as you?"

"When I summoned Jormungandr, he was covered in wounds, what do you think?"

Can hurt Jormungandr...

After hearing this news, He Huale couldn't help but have extremely complicated emotions emerge from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, she didn't know what expression she should show.

Is there really anyone in this world who is willing to take action against such a huge and ferocious beast?

You must know that even the sage Volsunger in front of him used communication methods.

"Breda... who the hell is he?"

"Anyway, it won't be a normal person, because a normal human being can't injure a sea monster with one blow."

Hodder then stopped rowing.

"Okay, here it is." Huo De said

At this moment, their location is near an empty island, and it is worth mentioning that there are two decayed warships on the edge of the island.

One is large and looks like it can carry quite a few soldiers, while the other is smaller.

"It was once speculated that this was the place where the father and the others were stranded, but it has been searched here, and there are no other traces on the island except for some ghouls."

"It's normal, because the place we're going to is underwater."

Then, Huo De casually threw something over, and when Hewale caught it, she realized it was a necklace.

"this is……"

"A little 'toy' that, when activated, allows the wearer to walk underwater... just to be on the safe side, I won't part the surface of the water, so just jump in."

Chapter 44: Underwater Ruins

Dividing the water surface, this kind of thing sounds easy!

When hearing the sage say these words in a casual tone, the thought of complaining emerged in the bottom of Hewale's heart.

However, after complaining, Hewale felt more of a strong sense of powerlessness.

Because she knows that these things are not impossible.

Magic is extremely miraculous. Those wizards who live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests can use runes to do various things.

However, ordinary people do not have a way to learn, and of course the same is true for He Huale.

If the characters who were expelled to the northern sea had mastered magic—even if they were only the most basic magic apprentices, they wouldn't have to die so many people.

And the sage's casual tone of words also verified his strength from the side.

He doesn't seem to have any shortcomings in his body-this is what makes Hewale feel bad.

Perhaps, for her now, it is fortunate that this man is not an enemy.

Maybe he has his own purpose, but at least he is not the kind of person who would directly harm himself.

"Really."

When the thoughts in his mind spread out, Hewale could not help but smile wryly in the end.

She has clearly decided to follow, which means that no matter what, she should be aware of this aspect.

In the end, her mind was still involuntarily messed up.

Thinking about it this way, it seems kind of funny.

"call……"

After taking a deep breath, she threw out all the messy thoughts in her mind.

Then, she looked squarely at the sage in front of her.

"How does this thing work?"

"Activate."

"How to activate?"

"Tsk."

When Hewale asked about this matter, Hodder suddenly felt a pain in his head.

Because he has been getting along with players all this time, he forgot one thing: Hewale is just a simple fighter.

For players, even those whose sub-professions do not point out runes, it is very easy to use these toys. After all, they can open anytime, anywhere, which is regarded as a magic item in the setting.

Moreover, even in the game plot, the people Huo De usually gets along with are the family members including Siegmund.

The Volsung family has always been given special attention. Not to mention learning all the runes, generally speaking, basic magic is always used a little.

So when Hodder shares this quick and easy little toy with them, they can use it with ease.

But Herwalle clearly couldn't.

"It's too late to teach now...that's all."

Finally, Hodder reached out and touched the string of necklaces.

Immediately, accompanied by a burst of light, Hewale felt a ray of light emerge from his body.

This kind of twilight didn't seem to feel anything, but when she lightly touched the water surface, she found that the dark sea water was separated.

"Okay, that's it."

"Wait, do you just go straight down like this?"

'crash'

Before Hewale's question could come out of his mouth completely, the sage Hodder had already entered the water.

After being speechless for a while in surprise, Hewale also tried to enter the water.

I didn't feel anything, because the shimmer from the necklace directly separated the sea water.

The film-like brilliance is like a huge filter that isolates the sea water, and at the same time absorbs the air used for breathing.

However, the water is really dark.

Originally, it was not that Hewale had never imagined the underwater scenery in the northern sea.

But it doesn't look like a big deal now, it's not pretty, it's even suffocatingly dark.

But at least, here she has a guiding sign.

Directly ahead, the swimming sage exuded a slight light, and looked quite courageous.

While he illuminated the surroundings, it also made him an extremely conspicuous target.

However, at this moment, Hewalle noticed something wandering around.

It was an extremely thick column, and it wriggled and slowly swam up from the bottom of the sea.
