Regin felt vaguely uneasy before, because Hoder seemed to be looking in his direction intentionally or unintentionally.
Although the man's eyes were like a piece of chaos, without any light in it, as if he was blind, Regin knew that his eyesight was normal.
To put it bluntly, Hoder focused on him from the very beginning.
wealth, prestige...
Regin did know a method that can simultaneously meet these two necessary conditions, but when talking about these, his mood inevitably became complicated.
And when the old dwarf remained silent, Siegfried, who had been thinking, finally came to his senses.
"Regin..." He looked at the silent dwarf
To be honest, he wasn't that surprised, because Siegfried had also heard what Regin was talking about when he went berserk there more than a year ago.
The dwarven kingdom of Gurnita Hyde, princes, royal family...
To be honest, these names were taboo a long time ago. Although the name 'Gurnita Hyde' can be heard now, it refers to the endless desolate mountains west of Midgard.
There are no supplies there, and it is not even suitable for survival. Even explorers and adventurers will not go to that place. Countless adventurers have proved that there is nothing there.
But more than a hundred years ago, there used to be the most prosperous dwarf kingdom in the Atrium, guarding the world of dwarves: Wat'ar Alheim's gate to the human world.
But now, there has long been a barren mountain, and in the deepest part of the mountain lives a cursed dragon.
This giant dragon usually hides in the deepest part of the mountains, guarding the remaining wealth of the entire kingdom.
"It is indeed a good way to slay dragons and collect wealth at the same time." Finally, the old dwarf couldn't help but say.
Indistinctly, there seemed to be a trace of irony in his words.
Who are you mocking? I'm afraid even Regin himself doesn't know this point.
Just as he was shaking his head and sighing, a golden exclamation mark appeared on his head.

[Mission Reward: Recipe: Wat'ar Armor]
This is the most important part in the forging formula, but Hoder is not in a hurry. After all, he is not only short of the breastplate, but also has a helmet formula.
"Let's talk about Fafnir," he asked.
"No, there's really no need to say much." Faced with Hoder's gentle words, Regin finally just wiped his nose, "I will never forget what happened that day."
There is no need for him to say more, because no matter how much he says, the fact will not change.
But at this moment, the deep voice of the dwarf inevitably aroused Siegfried's thoughts.
He still remembered the way Regin ran when the recasting of the holy sword was completed and caused the mountains to tremble.
"Yes! This is the Holy Sword! We made it! I just knew my craft didn't drop!"
Under the condition that the words did not match the words, he just revealed his life experience in this way, and his words were filled with despair and anger that was almost insane.
"Holy Sword Gram, the sword of God's Wrath that cuts through the evil will definitely kill you! It will definitely!"
The eldest brother went crazy overnight and killed his father, while he hid in his blacksmith shop with his two younger sisters.
In the end, the eldest brother became an evil dragon, ravaging the entire underground kingdom, and almost no one survived, and when he finally completed the 'artificial skin' that allows dwarves to walk in the sun, the two younger sisters also disappeared.
He fled alone in despair, and this wandering was counted in decades.
Wandering, being a slave to a giant, and settling down in the King City of Völsung, a hundred years have passed since that nightmare.
He is incapable of revenge...
When the eldest brother was still a dwarf, he was the number one warrior of the entire dwarf clan, guarding in front of the gate of Gurnita Hyde, so mighty.
After becoming an evil dragon, his fighting power only increased.
Just being a blacksmith, Regin couldn't kill him at all.
But now, beside him are two unparalleled warriors, and he also has the sword of God's Wrath with the branch of the world tree as the hilt and the iron of Asgard as the sharp edge.
This combination should kill him...
"I thought you would dissuade us from killing him."
"Why don't you kill him? Just because he is my elder brother?" When talking about this topic, the old dwarf's harsh voice that should have been high-pitched also sank, "No, if I can kill him, I will Just go by yourself."
"Revenge?"
"Right, after all, he killed the royal father and slaughtered the entire Gurnita Hyde. Killing him is indeed a kind of revenge." Regin stretched out his hand to cover his forehead
The dwarf's stature was originally short, and the movement of his curled up was even more like a ball.
"However, the important thing is that he is also very proud."
There is no soldier who is not proud...
This is true for protoss warriors, giant warriors, elves and humans, and of course dwarves.
Even if dwarves are naturally shady for some reason, this habit has nothing to do with a warrior's self-esteem.
"He once swore to protect the entire country and his family, but in the end he committed such a heinous crime... Forget it." Regin probably wanted to say something else. His words were purely from the heart, without any drafts, but in the end Still shut up.
Because he feels that it is meaningless to talk more now, because the facts cannot be changed.
"He killed his father and slaughtered the kingdom. Our two lovely sisters are still missing. Take it as revenge."
Then, no one was willing to answer, and an atmosphere of silence spread, until Siegfried stood up and broke the silence.
"I'll go out and book a new room, and buy some feed and raw meat."
This is of course what he has to do, but this young soldier is avoiding it, because he knows that what Regin needs now is calmness and rest.
Anyway, there is a lot of time, and he also respects Regin's ideas.
But Hoder was different, he didn't just leave, he just sat there, slowly sipping the mead in the cup.
Until at last the old dwarf raised his head.
"I'm a little tired, and I want to sleep when I'm full." He said, "Let's go in two days."
Get rid of it early, get rid of it early, and then...
"Speaking of which, I have always said that you are living in the shadow of the past, but when I think about it carefully, I seem to be the same."
"Well, life is like this after all, the past of life is something that can never be avoided."
"that's true..."
