Chapter 65: Where is your war horse?

Hoder finally left the royal city of Völsung. With the burning palace as the background, he put his helmet back on and left.

　　But it is worth mentioning that he did not leave by the main road. He found a secret passage from the palace. He came to a corner of the city from the secret passage, and then swaggered back to Regin's abandoned blacksmith shop to get the furnace. I briefly repaired my equipment, replenished the durability of the previously consumed equipment, and re-polished the sharpness of the weapon before leaving..

　　[Mission objective: Leave Völsung King City from the city gate（1/1）]

　　[Mission objective: Leave the Netherlands（0/1）]

　　I guess it must have been the arrangement of the scene mission. When Hoder walked to the city gate openly, he saw the runes carved by Regin for guidance. Following the runes, he came to the avenue. In the jungle on the edge, and there, he saw Siegfried, Regin, and a gray-blue war horse.

　　It obviously has a different skin color and mane - navy blue skin and white mane. This combination looks very conspicuous. In order to cover up the appearance of this war horse, Siegfried and Regin also bought it at the stable. A complete set of war horse protective gear, but it seems useless, because the girl Grani is too tall, and the general war horse protective gear is even a bit small for her.

　　To put it simply, the current war horse looks nondescript, just like wearing trousers and middle pants, but it is better than being completely exposed. At most, it will tell others that this war horse has excessive nutrition.

　　'Hey, yo, yo'

　　When Hoder approached, Grani suddenly neighed. Her voice was completely different from that of ordinary war horses. Although it also had a high-pitched meaning, it was mixed with a trace of wild long roar.

　　And just after Grani woke up, Siegfried couldn't help but stretched out his hand to comfort her.

　　"Good girl, good girl, calm down, he is my uncle and our companion"

　　Compared with ordinary war horses, Grani is more humane after all. Although it is mixed with the blood of mortal war horses, it is not as able to directly understand speech as its ancestor Sleipnir and the war horses of the gods in the divine domain. , can even talk, but this girl can understand what Siegfried said

　　Not only that, when Siegfried's hand caressed her exposed cheek, she snorted happily, and then nuzzled Siegfried with her head.

　　Grani's movements are actually not too heavy, and being approached by a sacred horse that is rare in the world is something that every man who dreams of becoming a warrior or hero will feel happy. Of course, Siegfried is the same. , and at the same time, he also had a strong sense of pride in his heart

　　But pride belongs to pride, and joy belongs to joy. When Grani pushed it to his chest, Siegfried still couldn't help but grinned because his wound was pushed.

　　Yes, wounds...

　　Although Siegfried can be regarded as handsome and handsome now, he is also in a state of embarrassment. The clothes on his body have obviously been changed into new ones, but I don't know if it is because of the re-opening of the wound. A deep red mark can be clearly seen on his chest. , just now Grani rubbed it casually and pushed it there, so Siegfried grinned.

　　"Looks like you've suffered a lot."

　　"fine!"

　　"Not only did he suffer a lot, he was almost trampled to death by that horse"

　　Just when Siegfried waved his hand and wanted to drop the topic, the old dwarf beside him started to make trouble. Even at this time, he took out the lute he carried with him and started to play :

　　"Völsung's descendants are brave

　　The young man has a clever mind

　　He is also braver than those old people

　　I have great expectations for him

　　However, the reality is not all smooth sailing"

　　Regin is a blacksmith, but as a dwarf, he has also been educated as a bard since he was a child. Such poems may not rhyme, but to him they are easy to read.

　　"In the sea of ​​fire, on the grassland

　　Young warrior holding chains

　　Under the clouds, in the stable

　　The daughter of Shenjun has scarlet eyes"

　　"Okay, okay, you have to sing it after we leave. "Just when Regin's own BGM began to reverberate, Hoder directly reached out and pressed down on his already plucked strings, "Put your instrument away first."

　　"Okay, okay, in short, as you can see, the child Siegfried was tortured terribly by Grani."

　　In the slightly harsh voice of the old dwarf, Siegfried just scratched his head in embarrassment, and when Hoder moved his eyes to him, he felt even more uncomfortable because he always felt that his uncle blaming myself

　　"come over"

　　"oh..."

　　Although he is already a young man in his late twenties, Siegfried has no temper in front of Hoder. The dignity of elders and parents is fully demonstrated. He can only walk in front of Hoder obediently.

　　"uncle"

　　"Well, does it hurt? "Gently pressing the blood stain on his chest, Hoder asked.

　　"No, teacher, I don't feel any pain!"

　　Perhaps it was a bit of a psychological shadow. When Hoder looked at Siegfried's face, which completely inherited Siegmund, he suddenly saw the shadow of Helgi.

　　However, Siegfried is not Helgi after all....

　　"Well...sort of! " he said

　　"I think so too."

　　Hoder's fingers quickly drew runes. The ancient runes first ignited flames, and then Siegfried felt that his cracked wound was itchy, and then it healed and even scarred at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　The therapeutic effect of this magical level even exceeded Siegfried's imagination. He opened his mouth slightly, with an attitude of hesitating to speak.

　　"Is healing magic so magical? "Finally, he asked

　　It is worth mentioning that when asking this question, Siegfried kept his eyes on Regin until the old dwarf himself felt uncomfortable.

　　Siegfried's injury before was much more serious than what he saw now. Regin poured all the healing magic he knew into him to cure more than half of it. As a result, Hoder repaired him with just a few moves as soon as he came back. Those little injuries on his body made him very embarrassed

　　"I learned rune magic for the purpose of 'forging'. In the tradition of Midgard, healing magic is only learned by women. He said angrily, "With this kind of healing magic, I'm certainly not as good as him who is always adventuring outside."

　　Then, Siegfried didn't say anything. He just stared at his adoptive father until he started to give up on himself.

　　"Okay, okay, I know I am not as good as Hoder in magic. After all, he is the sage of your Völsung clan."

　　"Oh...right"

　　When Regin mentioned this, Siegfried felt like he had woken up from a dream - his uncle actually had the title of sage, which was a symbol of wisdom, but because he always wore that suit Because of the Frontier Armor, Siegfried always subconsciously forgets this.

　　"Well, sage..." Observing Hoder's clothing at the moment, Siegfried nodded slowly, as if to remember this word.

　　"Just a false name. "Hearing his title of sage, Hoder couldn't help but shook his head. He just reached out and patted Siegfried, "Okay, we should go."

　　Then, he looked around and found that the only horse was Grani, so in the end, he turned his attention to Regin.

　　"Where is your horse??"
