Siegfried left the room because he thought Regin needed to calm down a bit, and the old dwarf really needed to rest.
Starting from the logic of young people, this is a normal way of thinking: a quiet environment can indeed make the brain clearer.
But Hoder didn't leave, because he knew that a bored person needs someone to talk to.
To be honest, although Hoder didn't think much of Regin in the past, and he was sold several times in the quest line, if this old dwarf wasn't a regular source of materials and formulas for the blacksmith profession, he would have He drew his sword and killed him.
But after that, as he got along with each other, his thoughts faded away.
As a player, he is willing to trigger his language and the tasks hidden behind the words more, and as a friend, he is also willing to listen to him complaining here.
In this way, a few minutes after the mission objective was completed, Hoder was not in a hurry. He just drank the mead quietly and listened to the old dwarf talking about the trivial daily life.
For example, what happened before Gurnita Hyde, and the father King Hreiðmarr and several brothers and sisters.
However, the more beautiful the past, the more heart-wrenching the tragic ending that has long been a reality, especially Regin's client.
He only felt that his brain was groggy and his eyes were a little sour.
Finally, he got thirsty and took a sip from the mead on the table.
"In the past, my family was famous. As the heads of the kingdom and trade guarding the entrance and exit of the two worlds, we were highly valued by Ivaldi, but these are the past after all."
After saying a lot of words mixed with nonsense, Regin felt that the boredom had disappeared a lot, and he was very grateful that someone could listen quietly by him at this time.
"I have a question."
"Huh?" Regin couldn't help but look up when he heard Hoder's question.
After that, what the old dwarf saw was a solemn human face.
Even at this moment, he was not wearing a helmet, but his cloudy eyes were still extremely conspicuous.
Even Regin had a feeling that as long as those cloudy eyes were there, and as long as Hoder put on a serious expression, no one else could laugh at anything.
"Although continuing to talk about this topic will make you a little unhappy, I want to ask about that treasure. There are too many doubts about that gift of redemption that was found by the gods."
"The atonement gift given to my father by the gods, if those guys are not lying, this treasure belongs to Andvari."
Dwarf Andvari...
In fact, if you want to find out what is wrong with the treasure that Fafnir is guarding, finding this dwarf is the best way.
But so far, Hoder has not heard of any players who have found this dwarf who can freely change his body shape, and he does not know whether this "master of treasure" that only exists in the background of the story is modeled in this game.
Of course, in a language that everyone can understand: no one knows where Andvari is.
But it doesn't matter, as the second son, Regin should have been in contact with the treasure, so some doubts should be answered from him.
"Loki, I've seen him."
"?!"
Hearing a name that definitely aroused his nerve sensitivity, the old dwarf raised his head instantly.
At this moment, Hoder saw anger in his eyes.
Loki, Odin, Hœnir.
There are many gods in Asgard, but only these three can instantly arouse his reaction, because the appearance of these three people led to a series of disasters after Gurnita Hyde.
"You met him?"
Yes, he was the one who attacked us in the jungle more than a year ago, and I beheaded him, but he didn't die. "
"Although he is a member of Asa, he is a giant after all, and he is also proficient in the magical magic of giants."
The anger was real, but in fact Regin was helpless, so after a brief burst of anger, the old dwarf regained his composure.
But unfortunately, the topic of Hoder revolves around the god of tricks after all, so it is inevitable to continue to mention him.
"He exchanged several weapons and several secrets for his life."
"for example?"
"Andvari's treasure, he mentioned that matter, he said that your father used magic to trap three gods directly."
"Well, although it does take advantage of the terrain - the entire Gurnita Hyde is my father's territory, but he did trap the gods."
Even at this point, Regin is proud of his father, Hreiðmarr, the dwarf king of Midgard, who can boast for a lifetime just by using magic to trap gods.
"So, can the treasure itself make people lose their minds?"
"Yes." Regin nodded slowly, "It does have some cursed allure, but it's not that strong."
At least, it couldn't make the three gods lose their minds, and even a dull god like Hœnir, who was almost mindless, was not shaken.
That is to say, completely different from the legendary records in reality, the content of "Song of Regin" obviously has hidden secrets.
Why did Fáfnir' go crazy?
This has completely become a core issue. You must know that in Regin's mouth, the eldest son, Fáfnir, is a good brother at all.
He loves his father, he loves his younger brothers and sisters, and as a warrior, his will is extremely firm.
Will such a person be attracted by the cursed temptation that comes with treasure?
Hoder always felt that he had touched some bad secret, and even at this moment, his own thoughts had diverged.
It's a little bit close to being connected, but the final 'thread' that connects the answer may have to wait until I see Fáfnir.
"Regin, I can be sure of one thing, these are all the conspiracy of the gods."
Then, Hoder's dignified words couldn't help but caused the dwarf to roll his eyes.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
After excluding the problem of the treasure itself, anyone can see that it was not accidental that the eldest brother Fafnir went 'crazy' overnight.
Although I don't know the specific reason, it must be inseparable from the gods.
However, Regin probably doesn't know a little bit...
After seeing the dwarf's expression, Hoder was convinced of this: he did not know the god's festival with Hreiðmarr's family.
In Hoder's opinion, it is better to let him know some things, such as:
"Loki told me that Hreiðmarr has mastered the technology of imprisoning gods, and I think this should be the cause."
"Imprison... gods?" Chewing on the key words in Hoder's words, Regin couldn't help showing a touch of astonishment on his face.
He really wanted to use the fact that 'the giant Geirröðr once imprisoned Odin' to argue, but he couldn't say anything when he thought of the undying relationship between the frost giant and the gods.
cause?
Why?
Game?
Or say something?
For a moment, Regin's brain was in chaos.
