You and Me Under The World Tree

Now, Siegfried himself is hesitating. He is standing on a fork in the road of fate. One choice will change his next destiny. As the object of being left alone, Hoder should have guided him to make the most correct choice , and according to Midgard's tradition, he should of course guide him to become a hero, a great hero not inferior to his father.

If this is the real world, Hoder thinks that he will really do that, but this is the world of the game, although the reality and beauty here make him unclear, and he is even desperately searching for Siegmund to survive like a demon. For this reason, I played [Völsung's Battle] hundreds of times, and tried almost all routes.

He tried to drag 19 friends in the guild to the instance repeatedly, the closest he tried was to directly attack the one-eyed old man who was marked as invincible and wanted Siegmund to live, of course he was succeeds, although that one is marked with '? ? ? 'In fact, if you read some books, you will know that Odin's NPC did not succeed in killing Siegmund, and even triggered the 'retreat' copy route.

But this is of no use, because Siegmund as an NPC asked him to ask for help from the surrounding areas, and then he took his teammates for a long journey in the instance, and when he finally ran back, Siegmund was cold, cold thoroughly, this It is equivalent to connecting to passerby lines that are only triggered by players who do not have enough copies or have insufficient reputation.

Without any use, Siegmund will never survive. This deeply made Hoder feel the limitations of the game, and it is precisely because of this that he can clearly define his identity as a player.

And it's the same now, because of his own experience, he can clearly distinguish what is 'must' happen from the content of the expansion pack and the strategy of the forum.

For example, now, Siegfried is hesitating. He even throws this question to Hoder as a player. On the one hand, this is to let the player make a choice, but on the other hand, it also shows that Siegfried himself has indeed flinched. intention, and this willingness is not low.

With the player mentality that Hoder has recently developed that is dedicated to digging out hidden quests, he can be sure of one thing: there will be a plot next, and in terms of the plot, this will probably affect Siegfried's current mentality.

From the player's point of view, the degree of excavation of the plot will directly affect the progress of the plot and even the dungeon route - just like the hidden boss Valkyrie in [Völsung's War], which is directly linked to the dungeon rewards,

Based on this, Hoder intends to let it go—he will eventually make his own choice anyway.

"As I said, I won't force you to make a choice." With this mentality, Hoder said.

Even after fully thinking about and clarifying the current goal, his tone even carried a kind of relaxation that was absolutely incomprehensible to the people of Midgard, but in order to avoid the plot in the scene task being skewed to other places , he finally added another sentence:

"However, if you decide to give up, I will take Gram away."

In fact, there is no deep meaning in this sentence. He just wants Siegfried to understand the stakes. He can face the next difficulty by picking up the holy sword left by his father. If he gives up, he will Return to your own peaceful life without twists and turns.

This is just a choice, and after saying this, Hoder stopped talking, and he just sat on the chair, waiting for the task target to be refreshed.

Because when it comes to this point, the goal of [Guiding Siegfried on the Road of Heroes] can be said to have failed temporarily. Under normal circumstances, the system will temporarily cross this mission goal, and then give a new route.

Although "Nine Realms" is already a broken game that people love and hate, it is only the content of the plot after all. In terms of the player's game experience, this game has always been well done.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened...

[Mission objective: Guide Siegfried on the road of a hero (1/1)]

"????"

Under Hoder's astonished gaze, the game system made such a judgment, how could this goal be accomplished.

At this moment, Hoder subconsciously suspected that there was a problem with his game cabin or server, but after thinking about it, World Tree Company has never had these problems since it started operating the game. The product was fine, so Hoder quickly hid the shock and astonishment in his heart.

He was just waiting for the next result, and while he was waiting, Siegfried spoke.

"I understand." He said

His voice was quite slow, but from his tone, Hoder could hear that he was gradually becoming firmer.

"I will take Gram," he said, "and I will take back everything that belongs to my father and the Völsung clan."

He is serious...

Although in terms of plot experience, Hoder felt that he was a little confused. It was obvious that Siegfried was extremely hesitant before and even wanted to give up at one point. Why did he suddenly agree at this time?

This doesn't make the player feel the growth of the NPC at all, okay?

Did I miss some plot?

With such thoughts churning in his heart, Hoder just looked straight at Siegfried, the complicated gaze under the helmet was obvious.

Facing such a complex sight, Siegfried nodded slowly, as if he had learned something from it.

So how on earth did you suddenly make up your mind?

Seeing the determination on Siegfried's handsome face, Hoder really wanted to ask the question directly, but he held back in the end.

After all, this is a game, and there is actually no need to delve into some things. Now that the mission objective has been completed, there is no need to care about it. Compared with these, he should pay more attention to the mission objectives of the next stage.

Thinking of this, he moved his eyes to the side, and under the mission mark, a new mission objective also emerged.

But this time, it was no longer the kind of small goal that promoted the plot, but a huge exclamation point, which floated above Siegfried's head.

After seeing this scene, the corners of Hoder's mouth raised.

This kind of task is no different from the previous small goals, and these exclamation points mean rewards.

Then, amidst Siegfried's words, the exclamation point disappeared and became a silver question mark.

"Uncle, please teach me what I should do!"

[Mission: When a Hero Is Born]

[Introduction: Siegfried finally decided to embark on the road of a hero, but he still lacks training as a young man]

[Mission objective: teach Siegfried to become a real hero (0/1)]

[Task Reward: 50 Free Skill Points, Title: Teacher of the Brave]

For a moment, Hoder had the urge to curse, and the joy of receiving a new task in his heart was also diluted a lot.
