Chapter 334: Alice's [Help]
"Sigourney!"
"Siegel!"
"Sigourney!"
"Siegel!"
"Sigourney!"
"Siegel!"
The bound Zygmund kept repeating the names of his sister and his son-in-law. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At this moment, nine nights and ten days had passed since he had been bound here, and in a few minutes the sun would sink into the earth, and Siegmund knew that at that time, when he died, like his nine brothers, would be devoured by the old and hungry winter wolf, leaving only a single piece of bones.
"Sigourney, did you betray me? After becoming the Gothic Queen, have you forgotten who you were once Princess Barusenga?"
Bursts of dizzying pain came from all over the body, because of the violent struggle, the skin on Siegmund's wrists and ankles had worn away, revealing the red muscles and white bones inside, but the strong rope made of rare metal tightly wrapped around the hands, feet, neck, and waist, all the muscles that could exert force were restrained, not to mention the hungry body that could not lift a little strength, in the face of this rope that could already be called a treasure, Zigmund was too small to be bound, suppressed, and unable to exert his strengthγ
However, at this moment, compared to the pain in his body, the anger in his heart made Siegmund feel more painful, he thought it was a grand welcome ceremony, he thought that this continent had ushered in peace, but he did not expect that all this was just a scam.
What made Siegmund even more painful was that his sister, Princess Barusenger, who was married to Siegel, also became an accomplice in the murder of his father and brother this time, and had always been the most precious treasure of everyone else, betraying his father and brother for her husband, even if such a thing was not unusual in this world, but when it really happened to him, it still made him very painful.
"Sigourney!"
He didn't expect that his sister, who had always been forced to smile, would turn the gun against their relatives after marrying Siegel.
"Is this your revenge...... Revenge on us for marrying you off Siegel, whom you have always hated, for the sake of Ballusinger, or are you just for the sake of the sword?"
This is the only reason that can explain Sigoney's behavior, only resentment and profit can make a pure maiden become demonic, but Zigmund hopes that Sigourney betrayed and deceived them because of the former.
"I'm going to survive!"
"I'm going to survive!"
"I have to survive!"
"Sigourn, Siegel, Barushinger's blood will never be shed in vain, and your plot will never succeed!"
Siegmund once again mustered up the only remaining strength in his body, through this period of hard work, he already knew that it was only the power of the legend, and there was no way to get the rope that bound him, so his goal was not placed on the metal rope from the beginning, and the gathered power controlled the muscles behind him to keep wriggling, trying to wear off the big tree behind him by this method.
However, obviously, the effect of his approach is very not obvious, the lack of energy in the body, the muscles that are restricted from exerting force, all make him move unusually slowly, and more importantly, his time is running out, as long as there is another hour, the old winter wolf will wake up from his slumber, come here to enjoy tonight's delicious meal, just like the previous nine nights, with the flesh and blood of the legendary powerhouse, to fill the emptiness in the body.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"Hurry up!
"I need to be faster!"
Feeling the slowly thinning dim light in his field of vision, Zygmund's mood became even more anxious.
When the last ray of light was about to disappear, a figure appeared in front of Siegmund, his little feet in small leather shoes, stepping on the thick dead branches and leaves on the ground, making a creaking sound, Siegmund raised his tired eyes, and his eyes without night vision could only barely see a silhouette of the comer at this time, judging from the hair fluttering in the wind, the comer should be a young woman.
"Sigoaney, are you here to see me one last time, or are you worried that the old wolf is going to kill me himself?"
"And say yes, did you change your mind? hahahaha"
At the end, Siegmund laughed, he wasn't sure if it was his sister Sigoney standing in front of him, but in his imagination, except Sigourney thought, no one would appear here at this time, and would be allowed to appear in front of him.
"Don't bother, I'll die with the secret of that sword, and I won't let you and Siegel's plot succeed...... Sigourney, you know, the word surrender has never been in the dictionary of Barushinger's men. β
"Who told you that I was Sigourne?Sigmund Zigmund ?!"
A familiar and unfamiliar voice came to Siegmund's ears, it was not the familiar voice of his sister Sigoney, but the voice of a young girl who should not be here, a voice that no matter who it was, once heard it, it would never be forgotten, whether it was a high god or a mortal as humble as a mustard.
So Siegmund was the same, even in such a bad state, he only confirmed the identity of the person who came in a moment.
"Alice Norregi? Didn't expect you, as Scandinavia's most important ally, to be involved in this? Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the gods?"
As the lord of Jutland, even if she is Scandinavia's most important ally against Attila, as long as the gods of Asgard know that she is involved in Siegel's conspiracy, then the wrath of the gods will definitely come and be taken on her...... The wrath of a powerful god is not something that can be resisted by a so-called agreement, even if it can't be done in person, the gods have a hundred ways to create some big trouble for Alice that can bring her down.
"No, Siegmund, it's exactly what you think...... I wasn't on Siegel's side this time, or rather, I had never been with them. β
ββ¦β¦β
Zygmund took a few deep breaths, the cold air passed through his nostrils, passed through his trachea, and reached his lungs, the cold breath made his brain clear a little, he squirmed his mouth, and asked in an incredible voice.
"So...... Miss Alice, are you trying to save me?"
The ecstasy and anger in the words were revealed without leaking, and in the slightly narrowed eyes, a flame like the sun burned.
"No, Siegmund, I'm not here to save you this time. β
"You are the only one who can save yourself, as you say, I am only your Scandinavian ally, and it is not a good thing for me to get too deep into your affairs. β
Through the observation of the past few days, Alice has discovered that the meaning of this event is not only about the dispute between the Goths and Barusenge, about the future of the upcoming Scandinavian Empire, but also about the dispute between those gods in the void.
To be precise, it should be the confrontation between Loki behind Siegel and Odin behind Barusenge, no matter what, the Scandinavian Empire will be established, so the struggle between Odin and Loki is the question of who is in charge of the Scandinavian Empire, whether Sigourney of Barusenge suppressed his husband Goth and became the only queen, or Siegel was crowned by virtue of the success of the conspiracy.
That's right, the queen of the Scandinavian Empire, according to Odin's script, Sigoarney's future should be like this, but he didn't expect that the script he designed would have such a change...... Sigouny's reluctance to perform the ritual of drawing the sword, and Siegmund being able to pull it out, disrupted his plans and created room for Loki to maneuver.
"And what are you doing here, Miss Alice, are you going to come to see my death and witness the end of the hero Sigmund ?"
Siegmund asked in a calm and unwavering tone, slightly rescuing the anger on his face.
As a warrior, he was more accustomed to taking up arms and charging at the enemy than the intrigues at the negotiating table, just as he had done in the Second Scandinavian Defense, throwing everything outside of battle to Sigoauni, and he only had to fight on the battlefield with all the enemies who could stand, and that's all he had to do.
"No...... , you are not yet at the time of death, and, Siegmund, you are now a formidable warrior at best, not yet worthy of the title of hero. β
Alice tilted her head and looked at the person in front of her, who was not ready to plead at this time, begging to extend a helping hand to others...... This is the so-called glory of the warrior, the so-called pride of the warrior.
"Sigourney asked me to come, Siegmund, your sister is very concerned about you right now. β
"Don't say that name to me, my sister was dead that day. β
The chest rose and fell violently, and the rope made of metal sank deep into the muscles, and the pain caused by the violent friction made dense beads of sweat appear on Siegmund's forehead, and these sweat beads quickly turned into frost in such weather, and the cold temperature once again calmed Siegmund's angry brain.
"Miss Alice, let me guess what you're here for. β
"Is that the person who asked you to come to me and ask me for that answer?"
"Ha, do you think I'm going to say it, even if my brothers are eaten by wild beasts in front of me, I don't say it...... Or does she want your magic to extract that secret directly?"
"I'm telling you, Alice, I'm ...... Woowoo woo ......"
"Siegmund, don't be sentimental. β
Alice interrupted with a wave of her hand, and magically sealed Siegmund's mouth, which was a very simple thing to do for a fixed target that was immobile.
"Sigourney asked me to tell you that she was controlled by Siegel. β
"Speaking of which, if she hadn't begged Siegel, you wouldn't have been put here at all, but like your father, you would have been hacked to death in the palace. β
"Don't shake your head, I know what you mean, Zygmund, you're saying that it's better to be killed in the middle of a battle than to be eaten by a beast like this, right?"
"But, Zigmund, haven't you thought about it? Isn't there any brain left in your all-muscle brain? If Sigourney hadn't done this, how could I be here now? If you're still in the palace, are you going to let me single-handedly face the power of a nation, the gods who will intervene at any moment?"
"As for what I didn't do to save you directly? β
Alice said coldly, and at the same time, she used [magic tricks] to condense a pair of hands composed of pure magic in the air, and the moment she untied Sigmund's mouth, a magic hand pinched Sigmund's cheeks and prevented him from closing his mouth.
"First of all, you need to supplement with a little bit of nutrition, well, food and water, are essential things. β
On the other hand, he kept digging water and food out of his pocket and pouring it into Zygmund's throat, a method of eating that, in Alice's knowledge, was called cramming.
Then Alice took out a jar of honey from her pocket, and the sweet smell spread in the air, a temptation that the animals of the forest could hardly resist, especially in the north, where honey was a luxury comparable to gold and precious stones.
"The opportunity for revenge has been handed to you, and whether you can find Siegel or not depends on whether you can use your muscle-filled brain to find it. β
Alice, who had everything in her entirety, ignored Siegmund glaring at her and was about to dismantle herself, and she clapped her hands gently, with a calm look on her face.
"Then, Zigmund hopefully, tomorrow morning, I will be able to hear that you are still alive. β
After saying this, the girl condensed a wind blade in her hand, flicked it at the trees behind Siegmund, and left the place without looking back.
And on the trunk of that tree, a thin black line appeared.
