You and me under the world tree

As a woman who ruled the realm of death and was an enemy of the gods, how could anyone dare to disobey her words?

And for Huo De, this seems to be a 'test' given by Hela.

Once the wrong words are said, it will affect the cooperative relationship between the two parties to be established.

"That would be a long story..."

In the end, Hodder just said in such a low voice.

"For human beings, decades of changes will make things different. I don't know where Her Majesty the Queen wants to start from?"

Asked here, the eyes under Hodder's helmet even narrowed directly.

He has done this kind of thing many times to test each other.

Chapter 86: Going Deep

On the surface, Hodder seems to have established a good relationship with Hela.

At least, he is now exchanging all kinds of information with the human identity and the queen who just woke up from a deep sleep, in order to seek further strategies against the aloof protoss.

However, only the parties involved are aware of the risks involved.

This so-called 'trust' is actually not stable, because in terms of positions, the two parties are not equal at all.

Leaving aside the racial issues of gods, giants, and humans, the most important thing is that Hela is now acting as Brunhilde.

Because Hodder didn't know if she had any backup means to conceal her identity.

So to be on the safe side, he naturally upholds the attitude of preferring to believe what is there, not to believe what is not.

And on the premise that the other party has perfectly concealed their identities, deceived the gods, and acted as Brunhilde, the identities of Hodder and Dietrich would become sensitive.

If Hela is unwilling, or if she feels that the man in front of her is not trustworthy, or even lies, and has no basis for cooperation, then she can pick him up anytime, anywhere.

And more importantly, although Hodd used the feat of "defeating the gods" to make a deterrent, he didn't know Hela's combat power.

'die'……

It is, after all, an awesomely creepy word.

Maybe it's magic, maybe it's some other weird power.

Anyway, a woman like Hela who seems to have lost her lower body is definitely not relying on pure force to rule the cold nether world.

That is a place that even the Asa Protoss are unwilling to step into.

Huo De's record of fighting against the Protoss by himself is watery, and it is based on the identity of the 'god' he has inexplicably.

But Hela is different...

Hela naturally has the identity of a god, but more importantly, she controls the death area alone.

In terms of means, such a woman is unimaginable to ordinary people, no matter whether it is soft or hard.

Regardless of the point of view, it is not wise to have a direct conflict.

Therefore, Hodder felt that it was necessary for him to further gain the trust of the other party.

As for how to gain trust, there are two ways.

The first is pure deception, that is, using fictitious information to deceive the other party.

This path seems to be feasible, because in terms of performance, Hela seems to have just woken up.

According to her, she seemed to have been in a deep sleep for a long time before.

In this case, Hodder can even fabricate false information that looks very real to take advantage of himself.

However, this choice is the most inferior.

Not because of anything else, because it can easily go wrong.

Once it is found to be fictional, the partnership he was looking forward to before is likely to collapse.

Moreover, the situation of turning faces on the spot is actually considered good.

For someone like Hodder who likes to think deeply, he is actually not afraid of turning his face on the spot.

After all, if Hela is the kind of person who goes straight and gets angry when she feels uncomfortable, Huo De feels that she can control it instead.

After all, there are always many reasons, and he can even further disguise himself.

In short, no matter what, he always has the identity of "successor of Loki's will".

But the problem is that Hela is definitely not that kind of woman.

Maybe she is extremely blunt in 'disguising', but this is also because she has never had a deep understanding of human beings.

But that doesn't mean she's innocent.

No one can imagine what she went through in that death zone.

The occasional distortion and viciousness may have been inherited from Loki, but more of it was brewed in a place like Helheim.

But for such a woman, a tiny 'flaw' revealed by Hodder may not turn her face on the spot.

But she will slowly layout.

As for what kind of trick Her Majesty will play for him, Huo De doesn't want to know this, because what he hates most is the unknown.

Fortunately, Hodder himself is the kind of person who likes to obtain further information through small questions, some verbal inducements and hints.

So he is extremely sensitive to this aspect.

No matter what Hela thinks, for Hodder, this is indeed a possibility of testing.

Because no one knows whether Hela really sealed herself in the crystal stone.

After all, the magic that can truly seal gods and giants has never been rumored, and Hodder had peeked at the runes on the crystal stone before.

It is completely different from the taboo magic of sealing and imprisoning gods, which simply stores the souls of animals or mortals.

This is why Hodder felt that Brunhilde had a problem from the beginning.

Because Brunhilde is the daughter of the king of the gods no matter what, even if she is not endowed with divine power like Hermod, she is not imprisoned by ordinary magic.

And what really seals the soul in it is a power completely different from magic.

Based on this, the best choice is to use the truth as the benchmark and mix in some unrecognizable false speech.

Moreover, in this regard, Hodder knew that he absolutely could not control any initiative.

So he simply handed over the power of questioning to the woman in front of him.

However, this does not mean that Hodder gave up his temptation.

But for him now, more than other things, the most important thing is that he wants to know when Hela completed this "civet cat for prince".

"This matter is quite troublesome to talk about."

At this moment, Hela just stretched out her hand and scratched her head.

"I don't know what happened outside, and I don't know how long it has been."

She said so, and sighed again.

"However, I can tell you one thing."

"Ok?"

"I didn't do anything strange to Brunhilde, she gave me this body on her own initiative."

"!"

After realizing what Hela was talking about, Huo De's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Under the helmet, his expression gradually became surprised.

"So, when those high-ranking guys decided to punish Brunhilde, that man brought me here."

"reason……"

After a moment of silence, Hodder asked.

"Why would Brunhild do this?"

"Don't you know? Didn't that man tell you?"

At this moment, Hela was not in a hurry to answer Hodder's question. Instead, she looked at him with strange eyes, and then asked such a question directly.

Perhaps in Hela's eyes, these should all be said by Loki.

Perhaps, this is just another temptation by Her Majesty the Queen, she wants to use this kind of surprised question to let Hodder show some flaws.

But aside from the fact that he still wears a helmet, Hodder himself is a veteran in this regard.

No matter what time, he will not show any emotion of surprise.

At least not now...

"Do you think... Do I have such qualifications in the past? You should also understand that that man never speaks completely, and communication is all about guesswork."

"Right……"

Hella didn't criticize Hodder's rhetoric either, she thought so after all.

"Anyway, I'm in the mood now... listen to me tell a story." She said.

Then, a slightly sarcastic and haughty smile appeared on that bright face.

"This story is about a Valkyrie...a Valkyrie who works hard."

"Don't... To be honest, I hope you can keep your words short, because this is not a good place to chat, just tell me the reason."

"A long time ago, a girl was born in the world..."

"I think I have a lot of experience, so I can understand what happened."

"She is the daughter left by the king of the gods in the mortal world, and she is just the product of a one-night stand."

"..."

"Just shut up and listen."

"Row……"

Chapter 87: Working hard till the end...

Perhaps, in the eyes of ordinary people, Hodder's previous behavior was a little out of character.

After all, at this time, rather than messing around here, gaining Hela's favor and trust is the top priority.

And in this case, it seems like the next choice to go against Hela or something.

However, Hodder doesn't need Hella's 'favor' after all.

All he needed was that trust.

This kind of trust can even be unequal, and the queen who rules the domain of death can even regard him as a clown.

In this case, the lack of appropriate negation and opposition is necessary.

In the case of innocence, Hodder is bound to put forward a little request of his own.

After all, no matter what, he also showed off his muscles before, which improved his sense of presence.

His purpose is to maintain a superficially equal status with Hela, and in order to continue to maintain this superficial equality, he naturally has to express his attitude.

As for whether to listen to it or not, this is Hela's own business and has nothing to do with him.

It's good that his attitude has been communicated.

Anyway, he just wanted to hint to Hella that he was not the kind of person who blindly obeyed.

In a way, it's easier to gain the 'trust' of a skeptical person like him who speaks up against it than a silent resigner.

Because in terms of performance, a person who always engraves the "pursuit of equal dialogue" on his face is better to control than those poisonous snakes behind his back.

In short, Hodder thinks so.

To him, it doesn't matter if Hella doesn't think too much. If she is the kind of woman who likes to think too much, what he does is enough to protect himself and disguise himself.

With this mentality, Hodder did what he thought he had to do.
