You and me under the world tree

"Well, indeed, this handwriting should not be someone we know, but you have actually seen this handwriting."

"what……"

When he heard his uncle say that, Siegfried couldn't help being taken aback.

After all, he didn't see many letters from the Gothic Kingdom.

But then, he thought of something.

"Is this a letter from the King of Goth?"

If you have to say that you have seen it, it is probably the king's letter.

Anyway, when Siegfried ascended the throne, Prince Dietrich represented the arrival of the Gothic Kingdom.

At that time, following the ancient etiquette, the prince brought a document written by his father himself.

"Well, the content written above is also quite interesting."

Listening to what his uncle said, Siegfried then noticed the content described in the letter.

Remove those fancy scene words, the core content above is only one sentence:

"Invite us to be a guest?"

After quickly reading the letter, Siegfried couldn't believe his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he fumbled in the envelope again, and finally took out an invitation letter.

"King of the Goths is serious?"

Chapter 22: Just Go

In fact, after reading the letter, Siegfried felt that there was something wrong with his eyes or his comprehension.

Because the content of this letter is obviously wrong.

"You want to invite us to his birthday since it's approaching?"

After reading the letter several times, Siegfried asked this question in a hesitant tone.

At this time, the lack of experience level is exposed.

Although Siegfried traveled to Midgard, he turned what he saw and heard into his belief and will in a short period of time.

However, his time as king was too short after all.

In addition, he has always been surrounded by people who are smarter than him, so the disadvantages of judgment are exposed.

Although this kind of defect can be made up for by the long years - just need to be a little more confident in yourself.

But now, he is habitually brainstorming.

So in the end, he still gave the letter to someone he trusted.

"Look at it."

He first handed the letter to his uncle.

But in fact, Huo De had already scanned the letter quickly before, so there is no need to read it a second time now.

While he remained calm, Siegfried handed the letter to Hagen.

There is nothing wrong with this order, and it will not cause Hagen's dissatisfaction.

And more importantly, for today's short palace minister, Siegfried's actions are more like a kind of recognition and recognition.

It wasn't until Siegfried handed the letter into his hand that he began to look carefully at the contents of the letter.

And after a moment, he raised his head.

At this time, Hagen didn't say much.

Although he is smarter and more careful than Siegfried, but at this time, he has exactly the same problem as Siegfried.

Too little experience...

The important thing is not that their experience is too shallow, but that they deeply understand their own lack of experience.

So when they doubt and hesitate, they will subconsciously hand over the power of final judgment to the elders they believe they can trust.

And that's the role played by Howard.

He is not a fool, no matter how dull he is, he should have noticed the sight of the two of them.

So, he sighed.

"You guys, you still have to be more confident, don't think about what you have, just understand it literally."

After hearing what Hodder said, both Siegfried and Hagen felt reassured.

They quickly settled down.

All that remains is to continue thinking along what the sage said.

But at this time, they showed strange expressions.

"But it's not right, the king of Goth is a master who has nothing to gain."

After hesitating for a moment, Hagen still expressed his opinion.

"I know many of his deeds, and I have also heard about the situation of the Gothic Kingdom. It can be said that the Gothic Kingdom can last until now, and King Dittmar has contributed a lot."

"After all, after Sigil's death, the Valkyrie who was supposed to appear in front of the Gothic king disappeared, and almost 100 years have passed since Angnar to the current era of Dietmar's rule."

Siegfried's history homework is obviously very good.

What's more, there was his father Siegmund's handwriting in it-for revenge, the young Siegmund and his friends launched a beheading operation, directly killed the Gothic king Sigil, and then walked away .

And after that came civil strife in the Gothic kingdom.

The two most powerful lords of the Amerungen family, Yamgunar and Angnar, fought, and after that, the young Angnar won.

It was also after that that the Valkyrie completely disappeared.

Not even the Valkyries, not even the miracles of the gods had ever appeared in that land.

If I have to say it, the closest miracle is the Godsend City where Prince Dietrich is stationed today, but that city actually has many mysteries.

However, such things as so-called miracles are actually very important.

For details, refer to the situation in the Netherlands.

Although Siegfried had a good wish, but with this pure good wish, he did not gain much recognition and praise from the public.

On the contrary, it was the so-called Thunder God's approval and sword-giving behavior that Hodder fabricated later that really made them feel at ease.

It can be seen from this that the traditions of this world have long been ingrained, and it will not take a day or two to eradicate this morbid worship.

Even, even after 100 years, it is difficult.

Yes, it's difficult...

But because of this, being able to maintain the unity of the Gothic Kingdom and even control the power of the kingdom under such circumstances shows the strength of King Dittmar.

And no matter what, this is not something that can be done with pure martial arts and loyalty.

Therefore, King Dietmar must be a man with a brain.

"Then the question is, what purpose does he have?"

Looking at the invitation letter for the king's birthday, Siegfried couldn't help asking.

At this moment, he looked solemn.

Not because of anything else, because he has no clue about it.

Also as a king, it would be fine if he could guess the opponent's purpose a little bit.

But the sad part is that he can't guess anything at all, which makes him feel at a loss.

But on the other hand, some people seem to be quite Buddhist.

"Maybe there was an accident inside the Gothic Kingdom."

"?!"

Just when Hodder casually mentioned certain possibilities, both Siegfried and Hagen couldn't help but cast their eyes on him.

At the same time, there was a hint of shock in their eyes.

"The Gothic Kingdom... Theoretically speaking, no matter what happens, King Dittmar should have a solution."

After all, he now has all the elements of stability.

Although he himself is gradually getting old, he is still in good spirits. At the same time, his child: the young Dietrich is not only powerful in martial arts, but also famous.

"He already has a powerful heir and he has influence. Is there anything he can't handle by himself?"

"Compared to this, what should be considered is the intention of the invitation letter... I think he should have sent invitation letters to more than one faction. What is the intention behind this?"

Just as Hagen and Siegfried were discussing each other, Hodder finally pushed the two young people down.

"It's meaningless to discuss these here now." He said, "After all, if you just stand here and guess wildly, you can't do anything."

"Then Uncle (Your Excellency the Sage) means..."

"Let's walk around the place."

Then, Hodder reached out and took the invitation from Siegfried.

Then, he laughed.

"Since there is no way to see through the other party's thoughts, let's stay the same. Anyway, we will go to His Majesty's birthday party literally, and even if there is any accident, it will not fall on my head."

At this moment, a burst of strong self-confidence rushed to his face.

And this could not help but make the young king and court minister of the Netherlands speechless.

Maybe it's because they have been thinking about the kingdom's interests and relationships recently, and they even forgot their personal strength for a while.

"Midgard... In the human world, after all, the strong are respected."

Chapter 23: That's My Child Too

When the invitation letter from the Gothic Kingdom arrived, it was about two months before the birthday of His Majesty the King recorded in the letter.

In terms of time, these two months are of course the time for each kingdom to react and prepare gifts.

After all, it was the birthday of the King of the Gothic Kingdom.

But in fact, the Gothic Kingdom itself is not very popular in terms of popularity.

Except for the new Kingdom of the Netherlands ruled by the Volsung family and several kingdoms that do not border, conflicts broke out in the bordering ones.

Even the Hungarian Empire, which was established with King Etzel as its core, had minor frictions.

And more importantly, in order to divert the internal contradictions of the kingdom, Dietrich often launched wars of external expansion with the power of the whole country, and he was regarded as an enemy with some surrounding kingdoms.

Under such circumstances, what kind of mentality is it to invite neighboring kingdoms to your birthday party?

Regarding this point, not only the royal family of the Netherlands, but also Burgundy, Denmark and other kingdoms in the northern peninsula are thinking about the deep meaning of the Gothic king's move.

However, as Hodder said, in the absence of key news and intelligence, some things are beyond imagination.

However, no matter how you think about it, Dittmar is still the king of the Gothic Kingdom.

Although he basically has problems with the surrounding kings, war in Midgard does not mean only interests.

In the human world, no matter what the cause is, that kind of mutual killing will eventually be carried out in the name of gods.

The warriors who died in glorious battle will go to God's Domain...

This can be said to be the tradition of the atrium world, and because this layer of meaning is directly linked to the gods, this creates an extremely delicate situation:

It's one thing to beat life and death, but when it's time to communicate, you still have to communicate.

There have even been situations where the people are still doing business while the armies are fighting each other.

In short, no matter what calculations they have in their hearts, it is impossible to directly refuse such a request.

God knows whether the Gothic king, who had been volatile and warlike since his youth, would use this as an excuse to start an all-out war.

As long as you have a little experience and know the situation of the Gothic Kingdom in the past, you will know that Dittmar has really done this kind of thing-whether it is external or internal.
