Magic is a wonderful thing...
When the great god Odin and the three goddesses of fate expanded the nine major runes to eighteen runes, they studied various runes, and various effects can be elicited through the magical arrangement of characters.
The tracking magic derived from the No.14 rune can track the location of a thing. For example, now, Regin has used this magic to track Hodder's location - he is in the hotel.
However, this 'tracking' is not tracking certain characters, but the rune engraved by the person concerned, which means that if there is no contact before, this tracking magic will not take effect.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of tracking rune will be engraved on important equipment - for example, Siegfried's holy sword Gram is very precious, in order to prevent it from being lost, there are tracking words on it.
However, under normal circumstances, this thing is actually quite tasteless, and it can also be covered by space-related runes such as storage magic, and sometimes it cannot be tracked.
So in the hands of Hoder and his party, the so-called tracking magic is more like a communication tool, at most, they can be taken out from time to time to tell the other party where they are.
And that's how it is now, when Regin and Siegfried walked into the hotel, they happened to see the man in the cloak playing with the rune stone in his hand.
His attire is somewhat similar to Siegfried's—anyway, it's a second-hand cloak he found somewhere and a suit of battle armor.
Sage Hoder, this man has never changed his battle uniform until now, and has been wearing the Dutch frontier armor that symbolizes the Völsung family.
In Regin's impression, although the sage's armor was as new as it was, he had been wearing it for a long time after constant repairs and knocks.
20 years or 30 years?
Anyway, he changed into this clothes shortly after rescuing Regin.
He wears this armor to stand alongside the Völsungers, he wears this armor to strategize on the battlefield, he wears this armor to die for Siegmund, and finally, he wears this armor to kill the young Siegfried all the way back to the royal city of the Netherlands.
It seems to have witnessed his life. Although it is simple, it is full of honor.
And until now, he refused to take it off.
Regin knew that this battle armor, which symbolized the glory of the sage's life, had one last thing to do: to help Siegfried ascend to the throne.
This man has already tied himself firmly with the Völsung family...
"Well, are you here?"
In the end, Hoder stopped kneading the rune stone in his hand after seeing a big and a small one walking into the main entrance of the hotel.
He didn't know how much drama Regin had in his heart. The rune stone in his hand was actually a quest item to open this quest scene, and the hint given to him by the quest was related to this.
[Take out the rune stone (1/1)]
[Wait for Siegfried and them (1/1)]
And now these tasks have been completed, although the two of them haven't spoken yet, a golden exclamation mark appeared on Siegfried's head.
[Mission: Return of the Descendants]
[Introduction: Although it is only a few days for you, but it is more than a year for Siegfried, let's test him now]
[Mission Objective: Ask Siegfried about his travels (0/1)]
The objective of the mission emerged, and Hoder couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this.
It is true to say that, in the last few days of the fifteen-day daily mission, Hoder will not see Siegfried, because according to the setting, he has already run away to travel alone.
In the game setting, this journey is more than a year.
After experiencing the wind, food, dew, and wind and rain, the current Siegfried seems to have matured a lot, with such a sense of vicissitudes.
But so what?
"Let's talk in detail in the room."
"Okay, uncle." This mature man still showed a trace of honesty in front of Hoder, he was still that Siegfried after all.
"Boss! Boss! Serve us a jug of mead and roast a lamb!"
Finally Regin's words came to a close.
...
Although it is a common law in the whole world to never tire of eating fine stew, but the dishes in border towns don't pay much attention to refinement.
The people who live here are generally not noble guys, not to mention that there is only one big kitchen in the small town of Strath, and the owner of the tavern and the hotel is alone.
In short, they don't cut the whole roasted lamb into a shape suitable for eating, but lift the whole lamb onto the table.
The entire room is quite large, and the roasted lamb and spirits can be placed there, so it doesn't matter.
It could be seen that Regin seemed very happy at the moment, he directly waved all the hotel staff out, and then happily used space magic to take out the bone cutter and began to cut the meat.
"I paid for it! So I eat two lamb shanks!" he exclaimed after cutting off all four lamb shanks.
His voice was quite sharp and piercing, and when he made the sound, he had already taken a bite out of each of the two lamb legs.
There was a crisp sound from the crispy sheepskin that was baked just right, and the old dwarf ate with a mouthful of oil, and the stubble was stained with gravy.
However, Hoder didn't care about it. Compared with Regin's bold and unrestrained way of eating, he just took out a knife and slowly cut the leg of lamb, cutting the leg meat into pieces.
This is his personal eating habit, because it doesn't need to be full of food, but Siegfried is different.
To be honest, when he is traveling and wandering alone, he can also eat better when he enters the city. Usually, he just starts to talk when he is in a hurry, and this time is no exception.
"Roast lamb, to be honest, I didn't see a sheep for a while." Just biting the leg of lamb, Siegfried said, "When I first walked north, eating fish almost made me vomit. "
From the border of the Netherlands to the Kingdom of Denmark, of course it is along the coast. Of course, the only thing Siegfried can eat on this road is fish.
"Small villages are generally more hospitable. They will provide some easy-to-carry fresh herring and homemade cans to the adventurers who help them. If you don't have time, you can eat it raw."
"Yes." As soon as he mentioned this, Siegfried's expression became lifeless, "Remove the head and bone, smear the sauce and cheese and bite it off, it's good as a snack, but I can't hold back eating it ."
That must have been a hard life for Siegfried, let alone canned herring.
"It wasn't until I went to Wartooth King City in Denmark that I had a good meal."
He seemed full of resentment, but at this moment, Hoder had to ask one thing.
"In Denmark, I remember that the ruler is still the old Elf."
"Yes, King Elf, but recently, he seems to be sick. It is his son who takes care of government affairs instead: Losger, he is still a teenager, and he handles government affairs with the help of several ministers and his mother."
When talking about these things, Siegfried didn't change his face, as if there was nothing special about it.
However, Hoder had to continue to ask about this aspect:
"Have you ever visited King Elf?"
