You and Me Under The World Tree

The time span of the game is more than a year, but for Hoder as a player, only half a month has passed since the task of recasting the holy sword.

In the past half a month, the main tasks have become scattered, and the plot has been broken down into daily tasks.

This kind of task mode reminds Hoder of the "teaching task" in the previous version. The task line related to Helgi is actually the same. This kind of daily task with no rewards is done, and the timeline of the plot is as follows: Fast forward.

But to be honest, the environment at that time was much better than here...

Helgi's classes were taught in the gardens of the palace, and in the center of that garden was the beautiful oak called Barnstokk, the Tree of Children.

This tree has existed since the ancestor of the Völsung family: Sigi established the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and in Siegmund's time, it even became the 'scabbard' of the holy sword Gram.

Even until now, the tree stands on the site of the Völsung Palace.

However, Hoder didn't want to emphasize how legendary that tree is. He just wanted to say that a comfortable environment is very important when doing tasks that require constant dialogue and guidance with people.

In the past, he taught in the palace garden of Völsung, and there were not so many rules. The two of them sat under the tree and flipped through books, chatting like chatting.

At that time, if they wanted to exercise or engage in martial arts sparring, the master and apprentice would go to the martial arts field outside the garden.

Even for Hoder, it is a daily task, but it is also a very enjoyable thing.

But now, the teaching location in the task is fixed in a dilapidated hotel, the scenery and beauty must be missed, and it is filled with a chilling wind—after all, Strath is located in the Netherlands border today.

As a border town, this small town is a mixed bag, and people of different races can often be seen here. This will also become a temporary settlement in the plot.

But if you think about it carefully, the characters in the plot are really courageous...

"Alas." Thinking of this, Hoder couldn't help but sighed.

According to the trend setting in the plot, during this period of time, Regin and the others had no intention of going to other places at all, and simply lived under the noses of the border of the Netherlands.

It is extremely bold, but it is quite reasonable when you think about it carefully. After all, they are all dead people on the surface. They are messing up the Nine Realms and the gods are busy observing horny bumps like Niflheim. Sometimes, instead of going anywhere, they just got stuck in a dead corner.

Unless the gods dare to violate their own traditions and destroy the buried 'corpse', because only by destroying that layer of shell can we fully see the internal situation.

Speaking of which, thanks to the technology possessed by the old dwarf Regin...

Thinking of this, Hoder couldn't help but clicked on the forum, and then clicked into the section of the Netherlands camp.

Among the most popular boards, there is a highlighted post on top.

[Have you ever heard the story of the dwarves? ]

Theme classification: plot, background related

This thing has nothing to do with the progress of the Raiders, it is purely because Hoder felt it after completing the task of "The Day of Reforging the Holy Sword" more than half a month ago. One of the mean trash dwarves' whitewashes it.

After reforging the holy sword and building a bunch of other things out of the leftover scraps, Regin leads to the quest 'Tricking the Gods', which inevitably tells a story about him.

Not long ago, Hoder, who was blind to legends, went over the wall to check the information, and found that they were roughly correct. The identity of the dwarf among the three versions of Regin: giant, wise man, and dwarf happened to match his rhetoric .

Before he started wandering and being a slave to giants, he was once the second prince of the mountain kingdom: Gurnita Hyde, with a happy family:

There is a strong elder brother who guards the frontier, a quirky younger brother, a strict but gentle father, and two lovely younger sisters.

Apart from having no wife, his life can be said to be happy and fulfilling. He does not need to worry about money. He has devoted all his blood to the craft of racial inheritance: forging. Years of training have given him This kind of smelting ability is enough to recast the holy sword.

In fact, without Hoder's help, he could reforge the holy sword himself...

But then, everything changed, as the legend says, because the god shot his younger brother, Hreidmar, in a rage, used powerful magic to trap the three gods, no matter what power they used, they could not break free .

According to the legend, Hreidmar took the initiative to occupy the wealth, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the eldest son Fafnir. After that, he killed his father and turned into a dragon, and the second son Regin fled.

However, the background of the game "Nine Realms" cannot directly copy the legend, because the protoss NPC in the game - Loki has already given a hint.

Hoder couldn't tell whether what he said was true or not, but he knew that it was definitely not as simple as recorded in the poem.

Those who are proficient in magic are wise men. This is an eternal truth throughout the Nine Realms. Hreidmar is strong enough to trap gods, and Loki can resist the temptation of treasures. There are problems in any way.

However, Regin didn't say much in this regard, and the most important thing in the task of "deceiving the gods" was Regin's own escape behavior.

Pure-blooded dwarves cannot see the light. This is the hard setting of "Nine Realms", and the dwarf race selected by the player is also marked as "hybrid" at the beginning.

And there is only one reason why Regin can escape directly to the mountains without being killed by his crazy brother: he successfully resisted the sun.

This kind of resistance can't be done just by wearing a cloak. In order for him to live normally in the sun and live in seclusion in the world in the future, Regin created a 'skin' for himself.

This skin has a certain protective effect, it can block sunlight, and can change with emotions, so it looks the same as normal.

However, the process of wearing it is very painful, because it is essentially glued to Regin's original skin.

He had wandered for decades wearing this fake skin that had stuck to his skin, and that was what happened to Regin the Dwarf.

The above is the "whitewashing content" of the dwarf Regin, and judging from the performance of Hoder's own experience in the plot, his skin is really hard, because until the giant Ike kicked him, his head was heavy Only when it was knocked on the rock did it become cracked and damaged.

And it was this technology that became a crucial point. Hoder first used magic to enchant the giant king's corpse, and transformed the flesh and blood into three false corpses with deformation magic.

Regin himself used this 'skin' forging technique to complete the 'casting', and then left a message to His Royal Highness Prince Dietrich, exchanging a good helmet and epee for his help: dispelling the magic.

In this way, although the 'inside' of the three corpses became a puddle of flesh and blood again, the shell was fixed.

This is the purest forging skill of the dwarves, and has nothing to do with rune magic. Such a plan to hide from the sky has messed up the entire Nine Realms.

"This broken game has a really high degree of freedom." Hoder couldn't help laughing after thinking of the missions.

To be honest, he was very happy, and for him, a student who was about to graduate and had already finished his thesis and defense, he was even happier when he had time to play games.

But in fact, what made him happiest was another thing:

"Old Huo! Old Huo! I'm stuck! Help me!"

That's right, that's the kind of voice that can make a local tyrant scream miserably, begging him, an old player, to take him.

"Come on! Call Dad!"

"father!"
