You and me under the world tree

Chapter 37: Gitland's Past

The scuffle in the northern peninsula lasted for a long time. Except for the Kingdom of Iceland, which was suddenly involved in the later period, there was no distinction between the perpetrator and the victim in this war.

It has no winners and no losers.

But as a matter of fact, if it weren't for the elders' narration, most young people would have a hard time imagining that the kingdom of Gitland, which suffered the most damage in that war, would be the initiator of the war.

Not because of anything else, because the performance of the Kingdom of Gitland is quite consistent today.

Perhaps it is because the current King Otwal has always adopted a stable political strategy, and at the diplomatic level, not to mention fishing in troubled waters, but he will not offend anyone.

Therefore, for young people living in this world, it is difficult for them to imagine that such a kingdom would have a cruel side.

But the facts cannot be erased. The Kingdom of Gitland once showed its sharp fangs to its surroundings.

And that all goes back to King Otwal's father.

"Neddard, have you heard of this name?"

Seeing that Hela seems to have developed a strong interest in the war on the northern peninsula, Huo De couldn't help asking.

But regarding this, Hela shook her head.

"I haven't heard of it, I guess it shouldn't be a strong person."

"Yeah, he is not strong himself, but he is the fuse of everything."

Having said that, Hodder couldn't help but sighed.

"In fact, he himself can only be regarded as a mediocre king, with no achievements or major faults, but the problem is that he kidnapped the elf blacksmith Wieland. It's hard to say that there is nothing wrong with it."

"Veland..."

"You must have heard of this name, right?"

After hearing Huo De's words, Hela's vision began to wander inexplicably.

"Recently, it has been thunderous."

Although she didn't admit this directly, in Huo De's eyes, Hela's inexplicable disengaged attitude already explained a lot of things.

"That means I didn't know it before."

After seeing Hela's attitude, Huo De couldn't help covering his forehead.

He looked as if he was sighing.

And this attitude couldn't help arousing Hela's dissatisfaction.

"It's the same as saying that he is very important."

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Facing Hela's gaze, Huo De just nodded slowly.

"For you, Wieland is indeed useless, but it may be that the gods valued his talent in casting, so they used some method to expose him to King Gitland's sight."

Having said that, Hodder slowly got up.

He went into the kitchen and got himself a bottle of mead.

And no one noticed that the moment he turned around, his eyes were narrowed, and his face was even a little unnatural.

"Then, King Nedad kidnapped him, took away his property, and allegedly took away the pair of rings left by his departed wife, and then threatened him to work for him."

"Building weapons?"

"Yes, Nidard obtained a large number of weapons from Wieland in this way, and these weapons became the source of his expansion of ambition."

Originally, the Kingdom of Gitland was just an ordinary kingdom.

Although there are also special things-for example, a long time ago, the stone of victory given to the ancestors by the gods.

However, those magical weapons beyond human cognition cast by the elf blacksmith who learned his skills from the dwarf kingdom became his confidence.

"He began to arm his army with these weapons, and then began to fight everywhere. In the process, Wieland gradually won part of his freedom."

"Just freedom?"

"Yes, it's just freedom, but when you think about it carefully, it should be Niddard who understands that Wieland will not leave no matter what, because his wife's ring is still on his hand."

Mingming was robbed of his property, and Mingming was still being threatened.

But the end result was just freedom.

"Really scum."

Huo De did not express his attitude towards the evaluation Hela subconsciously gave.

"As the scale of the war has become larger, Wieland has built more and more weapons. His craftsmanship has become more proficient and his ideas have become clearer. It is said that he once created Gitland's Victory Stone as a prototype. He obtained the invincible sword Arius, and finally based on his experience, he designed a powerful weapon."

"what?"

"Excalibur Mimonger, it is said that this sword can break all magic and curses, and can cut through all armor, and that sword is now in Wittig's hands."

"Wittig, but he doesn't seem to be able to beat that woman, and it doesn't look like this sword is very strong."

"The one who wields the sword is a human after all... No, that's wrong."

Howard coughed lightly.

"In short, this sword is still very powerful. Then, Wieland forged this sword, and then wanted to use this sword in exchange for the ring of his most important wife."

However, this matter is not that simple.

Because the fate of the elf blacksmith Wieland is no secret to these people.

"That scumbag repented?"

"Yes, when he got the sword, the king was ecstatic, because it is indeed a mighty sword, and it can even cooperate with Gitland's ancestral victory stone, so he also considered giving Wei Rand is free."

Howard drank the mead slowly.

"Then, his queen reminded him of one thing."

Reminders are simple.

It's so simple that even the current Hella can react quickly.

Because it's like a wizard engraving runes.

"For a blacksmith, as long as he can forge the first weapon, there will inevitably be a second and a third. After realizing the power of the Mimonger Excalibur, Nedad tried his best to imprisoned him."

"But it's not enough just to be imprisoned?"

"Yes, not enough, so he cut off his hands and feet, and then poured him with poison from nowhere, so that even if he can forcefully repair his wounds with magic, he can't do it like before. Flexible."

A blacksmith, but his hands have grown dull.

This is definitely a nightmare, because he can no longer use his fine touch to touch the forging hammer.

He couldn't feel the temperature finely, let alone control the degree of forging.

If it is an ordinary person, they will feel the pain more or less.

Because human beings are a race that relies on a specialty to make a living in society, not to mention, for Wieland, casting iron and creating is his lifelong hobby.

But Hella is different in this respect.

After all, she was not a human being, and to her, the kind of pain Wieland suffered didn't really matter.

In fact, for her, she cares more about other things.

"So, speaking of now, isn't it all Wieland's business, what about Hiltebrand?"

"Don't worry, isn't this the end of the story? I said before that before building Mimonger, Wieland created the so-called invincible magic sword Arius. Do you know the process of creating this sword? "

"Didn't you say he built it?"

"Yes, this sword was indeed made by him, but the materials for making Arius were collected by Hiltebrand himself."

At this moment, Howard couldn't help but sighed softly.

"He didn't order anything arrogantly, but asked Wieland to create a sword that suited his wishes. This approach was very special among the Gitland royal families at that time."

Chapter 38: The Story of the Weapon Master

Elven blacksmith Wieland.

This outstanding blacksmith who obviously possesses excellent skills has not received any fair treatment during the years of his fame.

In the final analysis, it was because he was not 'invited' at first.

On the contrary, he was kidnapped and threatened. From this point alone, it is impossible for him to get much good treatment.

Because most people, including Nedard, never cared about Wieland as an elf. All they cared about were the skills he mastered and the techniques in his mind.

And because of being coerced, neither their status nor their attitudes are equal.

To put it bluntly, the Wieland back then was only one title away from being a slave.

Although nominally a guest of the Gitland royal court, and even has a workshop provided by the royal family, it is guarded by heavy soldiers and its daily schedule is also monitored.

In this case, almost no one is willing to respect him.

Even the servants in the palace could bully him, but because he was threatened, he didn't even dare to make trouble directly, so he could only swallow his anger.

But fortunately, it was just like this that he met a few good friends in this kind of trough and hell life.

Although due to limitations in the scope of communication, these people also came from Gitland's court.

However, these people have become the only remaining warmth in Wieland's life.

"At that time, Hiltebrand, who was a prince, was one of them. He didn't look at this outsider with strange eyes, but respected his status as a swordsmith, and even appreciated his skills."

"But it's useless. Even if he appreciates it again, he just watched Wieland's hands and feet being cut off, right?"

Hela seems to have a lot of opinions on Hiltebrand.

Although this so-called opinion is essentially an expression of anger, it does express her 'ignorance'.

Also because of this ignorance, Hodder also began to hesitate to speak.

Helpless mood gradually filled.

"You have read a lot of books recently, don't you understand the deformed but real social structure of human beings?"

At this moment, Howard couldn't help shaking his head.

And the sigh in his words made Hela feel a little annoyed.

However, her anger was not aimed at the man in front of her.

If she had to say it, she just felt ashamed.

Because she couldn't refute it.

What that man said was the truth.

But now, she herself has reacted.

If Hiltebrand is not cold-blooded, this can only mean one thing.

"His status was not considered high at the time. After all, no matter what, he was just an illegitimate child."

guessed……

It may be because this word appeared too frequently, so Hela couldn't make any waves in her heart.

And more importantly, humans are too fragile.

Because of its fragility, its 'structure' needs to be stabilized, so human beings do not completely rely on their personal abilities to determine their status like gods.

For example, a high-ranking bad old man, besides his wife Tianhou, he has a bunch of lovers and illegitimate children.

But among these children, the one with the highest status is obviously the God of Thunder and the God of the Forest.

Neither of these two gods came from the main wife.

The Queen of Heaven is famous all over the world, and the child she gave birth feels like a second idiot.

But even so, there were no major problems with the structure of the entire Asa Protoss.

Although loose, it is united and stable.

Rather, gods and giants are basically like this.
