You and me under the world tree

"Open the door, please," he said.

But after a long time, there was no sound coming from inside. It was not until a long time later that there was an extremely weak sound.

"Sorry, traveler, this town has been sealed off, please leave as soon as possible, don't catch this disease like us."

Chapter 4: Excited

After hearing the weak voice and constant coughing from inside the wooden door, Hodder couldn't help but frowned.

Anyone can see that the entire town has been sealed off.

Moreover, Hodder could see that the people who closed the town were not the legions stationed around, but the residents and guards of the town themselves.

Because Huo De remembered it very clearly, he himself still accidentally encountered a soldier delivering a message in the palace by accident, and only then did he know this.

Theoretically speaking, his speed should be faster than Siegfried's army transfer order, but there are already signs of closure here.

It also means...

"Traveler, if you want to find a place... cough, cough, rest, then I suggest you walk for a few more hours, even on foot, you can reach the most magnificent and affluent city in our kingdom, cough, cough."

At this moment, such a voice was transmitted from the door.

"If you lose your way, you can walk west for half an hour from here to a fortress where warriors will guide you."

Hodder could clearly feel that the voice of the speaker was getting softer and weaker, and he seemed to be quite weak.

Even at the last moment, he heard a lingering cough.

"Don't come here for a while."

Facing the kind persuasion of the person behind the door, Hodder did not respond much in the end.

At this moment, his eyes subconsciously looked at the two girls beside him.

Hella is fine.

She has no sympathy for this kind of thing.

But Dietrich was different.

At this moment, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Goth could not help but sigh.

"It's hard to imagine what kind of thoughts and awareness they have with this kind of self-enclosed and isolated consciousness for the first time."

"Running around is a problem at times like this."

"I know, but you can't expect people to think about the so-called consequences."

Staring at Hodder's slightly cloudy eyes, Dietrich said.

"I have read a lot of records. When plagues broke out in many kingdoms, sometimes there would be large-scale riots, followed by rumors and rumors."

"After all, the so-called plague can also be used to make a fuss..."

Having said that, Hodder paused for a moment.

It was also at the same moment that Dietrich suddenly saw an incomparably subtle smile.

mocking?

complex?

have no choice?

For a moment, she felt that she couldn't distinguish the expression on the man's face.

"Let's not even say it's a plague. People with good intentions always like to add fuel to the flames. Not everyone cares about the so-called people. Sometimes they will do anything for their political achievements."

Then, he clenched his fists.

"Epidemics are not terrible. Sometimes the most terrifying thing is people's hearts... Sometimes, many diseases spread completely, and a considerable part of the reason is that they were not properly dealt with in the first place, but this kind of thing will not happen in the Netherlands."

Dietrich didn't deny anything about Hodder's incomparably positive attitude.

Not because of anything else, because the Netherlands has experienced large-scale wars.

The change of regime in the kingdom meant that the forces within the kingdom had to undergo a major reshuffle. In addition, Siegfried held all the power in his own hands at the time, which meant that he had to personally appoint officials in every region.

Most of these people are young people who want to display their talents, or the older generation who still have longing and loyalty to the Volsung family.

"It's only been a few years, and the enthusiasm in the hearts of these people may not completely dissipate..."

Maybe it was because he felt that what he said seemed too absolute, so Hodder didn't continue talking.

It's impossible to say something about people's hearts.

"At least that's what it looks like."

At this moment, he just caressed the wooden gate with his palm.

Neither Dietrich nor Hela saw his fingers move according to the rules, but there were runes jumping out one after another in his palm.

After arranging the sequence of runes casually, the entire door emitted a burst of magnificent brilliance.

Accompanied by such brilliance, the sage's hand passed through the wooden door in such a majestic manner.

"It works," he said. "Come in."

As for the warning from the person behind the door, he had no intention of obeying it at all.

After all, the purpose of his coming here is to explore and solve the origin of the plague here, how can there be a saying of retreating now?

On the other side, the guard who was lowering his head and coughing looked like he had seen a ghost.

Because of the disease, his cheeks were already pale, but this still couldn't conceal the astonishment on his face.

"This... this is."

magic.

This kind of thing will be eye-catching no matter where it is placed.

Because for ordinary people in the true sense, it will always be so magical, and the way of expression will always be so incredible.

Some things may be common sense and means to wizards, but not to ordinary humans.

Like going through a wall...

For wizards, this is what drawing runes can do.

As long as you don't encounter enemies that can resist at the magical level, or touch barriers that you can't understand, then you can just do whatever you want to penetrate obstacles.

But ordinary people don't see it that way.

It is strange because it is incomprehensible.

Just like that, the sick man behind the door just tried to stare at his eyes.

He first saw the whole door glowing, and then he saw a man with his face covered under a hood and two women coming here through the closed door.

"Ah...this."

For a moment, he was incoherent.

What should I say now?

What can he say?

"I'm here to solve these things."

Just when he didn't know what to say, the guard heard these words.

And at this time, he saw the clothes of the man in black robe whose face could not be seen clearly.

It was an extremely plain looking black robe with a cloak on the outside.

However, the dark robe is not monotonous, because there are gold lines on it depicting the running wolf pattern.

This is the mark of the Volsung family...

But now, in the entire Netherlands, there are very few people who can use this mark.

What's more, it's black!

As we all know, most of the Volsung family loves Yinliang, and only one person will wear black.

Even the guards at the bottom know this.

"Your Majesty the Sage?"

"Um……"

"Your Majesty the Sage!"

After really confirming this point, the guard's face couldn't help showing a look of joy.

Immediately afterwards, he didn't know if it was because he was too excited, his breathing became short of breath.

In the end, he suddenly fell backwards.

"?"

Chapter 5: Many people died

The guard who was supposed to be stationed at the gate to persuade the visitors to leave just fell straight down.

But just before he fell, Hodder raised his hand and cast a spell.

Accompanied by the glow of the runes, a powerful translucent big hand supported the guard, and then supported his slightly fragile body, making him lie quietly on the ground exuding the darkness.

At this moment, Huo De even opened up a small enchantment, which not only isolated the surrounding environment, but even isolated the ground.

During this process, except for Hela who seemed to be very idle, both Hodder and Dietrich were watching the guard.

Not because of anything else, because he looks so weird.

The Netherlands is rich in products, and it has various preferential trades with the kingdoms including Gothic, Gitland, and Iceland. In just a few years, the Netherlands has reorganized its army.

Among them are layoffs, retiring older veterans from the military establishment, and giving them jobs in their hometowns or elsewhere.

It all depends on personal preference and local conditions.

As for the legionnaires and guards, their weapons are directly provided and reequipped by the kingdom.

With the support of Siegfried using his own wealth, although the Netherlands has just been established, all legionnaires have been replaced with new weapons and armor.

Even those who serve as guards in towns, theoretically speaking, guards who do not belong to the official establishment of the legion have basic armor.

In order to ensure safety, it is normal to wear armor, equipped with long swords, shields and spears.

Not to mention the heavy full body armor, the guards should at least wear light armor mixed with leather and metal.

This is the minimum standard...

However, this guard is different.

Although he held a spear in his hand, he was only wearing a loose robe and no armor at all.

Not even the most basic light armor.

And more importantly, he looks particularly vulnerable.

Although just looking at it like this, even Hodder could notice his body hidden under the loose robe.

In any case, he has a body that should be considered strong in theory.

But now, he looked like a sapling in a storm.

"He can continue to stand at the door is already a kind of luck."

In the end, Hodder just sighed.

He took out a bottle of potion from his inventory.

But at this moment, Dietrich just took two steps back, and then tugged Hela who didn't know why and looked a little curious.

"What are you doing?"

"Just turn around, he's going to take off his clothes."

"Ah? How did you know that?"

'crash'
