Prince Studus of Gitland
Hoder still knows a little bit about this person. In the quest line of the Gothic camp, players will come into contact with him.
That is to say, he is destined to be a general of the Gothic Kingdom and Prince Dietrich, but when a considerable number of players contact him, he has already appeared as a warrior under the prince.
However, domestic players are not very familiar with him. After all, it is no wonder that the domestic understanding of Nordic mythology is limited to "Song of the Nibelungen" and several other works, and it can even be said that it does not exceed the "Scandinavian mythology" system.
But all in all, this guy is quite interesting, according to the players, he is a pure temper, and even the attitude towards the prince is as rough as ever.
Mouth fragrant...
Studus is such a person. As long as someone makes him unhappy, although he may not directly attack, his first reaction will definitely be to scold him head and face.
But such a person is not a villain. Among the NPC votes of the Gothic camp, his number of votes seems to be second only to Prince Dietrich, and even surpassed Wittig, the first soldier who joined the prince at the same time. .
"He has a bad temper, but he is quite forthright with people, and he looks rough, but his thoughts are quite delicate." Siegfried gave such an evaluation
This is not the player's feeling of piecemeal contact. Siegfried once lived in the Kingdom of Gitland for about two weeks. During this time, he got along with the royal family of Gitland.
In this world view, it is actually very simple for a warrior without identity to meet the king as long as he shows his bravery.
Because warriors always have a transcendent status, Siegfried easily became acquainted with Gitland's royal family under a false name.
But here's an interesting thing...
"Speaking of which, that guy from Studas didn't want to join Gothic at first, he was going to challenge the Prince at first."
After all, he is the famous Prince of Victory, and the name 'Dietrich' means 'powerful', so of course Studus would be upset.
But at the beginning, Studus was reprimanded by his family, and even restricted his travel, because the family didn't think he could beat the famous Dietrich.
If it is said that all those killed on the battlefield were rotten fish and rotten shrimps, then the first battle of Giant Ike completely established his reputation.
Under such circumstances, the cub Studas finally forced his father and queen to agree to go to Goth to challenge the prince, but there was one condition: he had to complete a merit before he could leave the kingdom.
Afterwards, the excited Studas slaughtered the evil dragon named Herme in his territory. For this, Studus also received a reward from his father: an ancestral bloodthirsty sword: Hǫfuð
It has the same name as the sword in the hands of Heimdall, the guardian of the dawn, but I don't know if it is the same one, but it has magical power.
"Then, Studus, who got the sword, set off so excitedly." After saying this vividly, Siegfried couldn't help but picked up the water glass and took a sip, "According to his words, he originally wanted to challenge the prince and travel with me. After all, he wanted to walk around, so we went together.
Then, everyone knows the result.
"Studus, who was named after the dragon Herme, was defeated very badly. The ancestral legendary magic sword that can become stronger when it encounters blood was cut off directly, and then he gave up the idea of continuing to travel. , and turned to play in the Gothic Kingdom." Siegfried said
"I thought he was an invincible warrior, but he was beaten as soon as he went out. It's really miserable."
"Yes, that's it." Hearing his uncle's slightly teasing voice, Siegfried nodded slowly, "Anyway, through the example of Studus, I think I want to find some It shouldn't be difficult for the brave."
"Or to put it another way, it's not just about being bold, it's about wanting to build something, so Warriors are generally willing to go after guys with big names."
For example, ever since Dietrich beheaded the giant Ike and those good-for-nothing bards dug out his title of 'Conqueror of Giants' circulated in Jotunheim, the warriors willing to defect to him are still Not a lot.
How could these warriors not know the current situation of the Gothic Kingdom!
Until now, no Valkyrie has come forward, which already symbolizes the attitude of the gods in Midgard, but there are still many people who defect.
Because they long for honor, these honors do not necessarily come from the approval of gods and Valkyries, but more importantly, their status and wealth in the world.
"But it's different. The Gothic Kingdom has its own uses. So far, that Dietrich has only had conflicts with tool people like the Valkyries, but we hit him in the face."
"Would it be nice to slap those high-ranking gods in the face and destroy their 'omnipotent' image?"
"Cool!"
"This is not over." Looking at the old dwarf's sudden howl, Hoder curled his lips, "We have no possibility of retreating. If we stop here, all the foreshadowing we made more than a year ago will be in vain."
"Hmm..." Hearing what Uncle Hoder said, Siegfried nodded slowly.
He didn't feel disgusted with his uncle's decision, and even during the previous trip, the knowledge that Hoder had instilled in him before began to take root.
war...
This word has been around the whole of Midgard, and the struggle between the various human kingdoms has hardly stopped.
The gods like war, which has long been proved by history, and people also like war, because the warriors are eager to enter the god's domain Asgard to obtain eternal life.
This traditional custom has always filled the atrium world, and most children have been instilled with this kind of thinking since childhood.
But what about the facts?
During his travels, because the war never stopped, Siegfried saw those who fought bravely and died in battle, and also saw countless women who died in love in order to reunite with their husbands.
However, his gaze didn't stop there. He saw more people who were displaced. The elderly had no children to support, and the wives had to be forced to raise their young children.
The originally happy family became fragmented because of a so-called "glorious war". These things are hidden under the atmosphere of fanatical war and killing, but no one has penetrated this point.
And it was from that time that Siegfried had an idea in his heart: he wanted to become king.
Such an idea is not a longing like before, but a wish of oneself.
"We have no way out, we can only move forward." He clenched his fists, "Then, I will create a kingdom that will make everyone happy!"
In the small town of Strass on the border of the Netherlands, the young warrior, the descendant of Völsung, declared so.
His voice was quite loud, if it wasn't for Regin's sound-proof barrier that had been in effect, the voice might have been transmitted outside.
But even though his voice didn't spread, it shocked the old dwarf in front of him.
Hoder was silent about this, but Regin said coldly at the end:
"childish..."
Then, Siegfried faced him with that slightly honest smile:
"I know, but it doesn't conflict with my thoughts and wishes."
