After all, Hoder had to ask about one thing, because Denmark was a very sensitive country for Siegfried.
King Alf's wife: Queen Hjördís is Siegfried's biological mother. With this relationship, Siegfried's feelings for Denmark can be said to be quite complicated.
Moreover, although Hoder's tone was very calm, and the question was beating around the bush, Siegfried could still see what his uncle wanted to ask.
"No, I didn't visit them, I just lived in 'Voltus' for a while, and looked at the soldiers, customs, and army there."
In the end, the young soldier's eyelids drooped. It was true that he had matured during the journey, but he didn't mean to hide his emotions and thoughts at this moment.
Clearly, things in Denmark don't appeal much to him, and he doesn't even want to talk about it.
"I don't think there is a need for me to visit." He just said, "Völsung's descendant, Siegfried, died in battle on the Gothic border. This is something that the entire Midgard knows."
However, not many people are willing to verify the authenticity of this news.
"No one has asked the king of the Netherlands for a corpse, let alone worshiped it, including Hjördís, my mother."
"Hjördís is cowardly."
"That's not a reason."
Sure enough, he minded.
No, it's better to say that minding is normal.
Everyone has a slight expectation for their parents who are connected by blood. This has nothing to do with status, but just an inexplicable emotion that exists.
Siegfried was like this. Even though he hadn't been in Denmark since he could remember, and even though he didn't have much memory of his biological mother, he still had the slightest expectation.
However, this expectation was shattered...
The 'death' of Siegfried, the descendant of Völsung, did not cause any ups and downs. She was still the beautiful queen of Denmark, and she gave birth to a seemingly talented son for King Elf.
Living a happy life every day, she never came to worship or beg for her son's body for a year.
"My mother's elder brother, Grípir of Greenland, once asked Legni for the body, saying that my body could not be in the territory of the enemy."
Iceland's King Grípir,...
If Siegfried hadn't been chilled before, then the actions of Hjördís' elder brother, the old but wise king known as the 'Wise Old Man' directly shattered Siegfried's last hope.
As an uncle, he can still make a sound, why can't Hjördís?
That's what Siegfried is thinking now
A little bit of personal bias, a little bit of anger, so his thinking is biased.
Of course Hjördís loved Siegfried, otherwise she would not have made up her mind to give birth to the child at that time.
But her temperament is too cowardly. In other players' plots, she had to send her child away because she was frightened by King Alf.
But in Hoder's mission line, because she hesitated about revenge, Hoder took away the young Siegfried without hesitation.
"You have no reason to ask anyone to give you more love than herself." Looking at Siegfried's depressed expression, Hoder spoke slowly.
This sentence seems to be adding insult to injury, but it is not.
"The reason why maternal love is noble is that some mothers give all their love to their children, but this does not mean that all mothers in the world are like this."
"I know."
After all, the current Siegfried is not that inexperienced young man, he answered quite simply.
"In my travels I have seen great mothers who protected their children from robbers, and women who abandoned their children and husbands just to join noble families."
One of the purposes of traveling is this. Siegfried will observe all kinds of situations in the world during his travels - not those nobles who like to pretend to be themselves, but common people.
All emotions and life styles can be found in the lives of civilians. It is much better to observe this frequently than to overlook something from a high place.
"Because I have seen a lot, I know that some things are taken for granted."
But Siegfried still couldn't let himself stay out of certain things after all, and the prejudice against Hjördís in his heart could not disappear.
As long as he thought of the graceful and luxurious woman he had seen from afar, he couldn't help feeling a little angry in his heart.
So at this moment, he couldn't help biting the leg of lamb vigorously.
However, that doesn't mean hate.
"This is actually a very cold thinking logic. Since she didn't admit it, then I won't recognize her—it's not necessary."
This topic ended here, neither Hoder nor Siegfried wanted to talk about it, so Hoder finally changed the subject.
"Have you ever been to Iceland?"
"No, I don't want to take a boat. It's a waste of time. Although Grani can fly on the water, it's too conspicuous." Siegfried answered very simply, but he hesitated behind.
This is normal. Most people have no ghosts in their hearts, and even expect to be watched by the gods and Valkyrie, so no matter what they do, they will not hide it.
But Hoder and his party are different. In order to avoid the gaze of the gods, they pretended to be "death" and disturbed the Nine Realms.
When recasting the holy sword of Gram, the two rune masters Hoder and Regin even jointly inspected the entire holy sword to confirm that there were no runes left by the gods on it.
That's right, after the so-called Holy Sword of God's Wrath was recast, even the runes were re-engraved by Hoder and the others, which is far from the original one.
Wearing a black cloak and armoring Grani to hide the girl's beautiful navy-blue skin were all necessary disguises.
Even when traveling, he only swung the sword, never using the power of the sword itself-he only used it once, and that was in the Iron Forest a few weeks ago, where even the gods could not see Before the steel forest, he displayed the power of this sword.
"Grípir is a famous wise man, I was afraid he would see something, so I didn't visit Hiccup~"
Finally, after finishing eating the leg of lamb, he let out a long breath, and even hiccupped when he spoke.
"Gitland and Norway are the ends of my travels, Scandinavia, where I made many friends."
Then, Siegfried's complexion turned ugly.
"It's not very suitable for growing food and vegetables there, the staple food is still..."
"fish."
"Yes, the prince over there invited me to eat his canned herring, I..."
It seems that this is a history of blood and tears.
