Chapter 464: Hatred

Walking on the street, the dense flow of people, indifferent eyes, make this Scandinavian Empire's royal city, become realistic but cruel, here only the strong can survive, here only the strong can do whatever they want, only the weak, no matter where, the right to live has never been held by them.

Alice didn't use Morrigan's Invisibility Cloak, after all, she still kept her current state fresh, so she cast a magic on her body similar to reducing her own sense of existence, so that as long as the people around her didn't pay attention to her, they would subconsciously ignore her existence, just as it was easy to ignore the stones and grass under her feet.

Following Siegmund out of the stronghold hidden under the river, Alice came to the slums of the imperial capital, where even the semblance of order no longer existed, where evil thrived and spread, like a disease, but could not be completely cured.

Murder happens here all the time, and the stinking ditch is full of decaying or decomposing corpses, pregnant with diseases and pestilences, waiting for the day when death will spread.

Robbery, that's a normal thing, where only the strong have the right to acquire and keep wealth, while others live a life similar to that of slaves...... Even worse than slaves, after all, in the eyes of slave owners, slaves are also a kind of wealth, tools that need to be well maintained, and will not be easily damaged.

Not to mention other things, it's just a simple description, there is always something indescribable about sin, not to mention the power of a certain crystal wall system acting here, it is not allowed to use too many words to describe these evils.

Siegmund was very fast, walking through three alleys and turning a dozen corners in just a few strokes, and sometimes he would deliberately stop and enter some cul-de-sac to see if anyone was following him.

If it were an ordinary person, even a thief, a thief, or a scout in the army who was proficient in this kind of art, he would have been spotted by Siegmund's caution.

It's a pity that he is facing a multi-means spellcaster, and he is still in the position of the apex among the spellcasters, with countless knowledge in his mind, and his strength has reached the top of the legend.

His actions were so clumsy in Alice's eyes that knowledge had caused her to waste some more time on him, but it was not a waste of time to be able to find the last prince of Barushinger and the ultimate Avenger.

Eventually, Siegmund stopped in front of a dilapidated house, looked around vigilantly, and then quickly opened the door and dodged in, and the empty alley was only the sound of rats in the stinking ditch running fast.

With a slight lift of her hand, she unlocked the lock behind the wooden door, and when she opened the door, Alice walked in short, and a strong musty smell filled her mouth and nose.

It was a very small house, and a bed and a chair formed the main part of the house, and on the bed was a quilt covered with insect eyes and black stains, and it was here that the unpleasant smell of mold came from.

The house had no windows, so when the wooden door was closed, it was pitch black, but for Alice, who was no longer human, it wasn't a big deal, even if she wasn't an undead, but as a spellcaster, she had no less than a hundred ways to make her see things in the dark.

However, none of this was important, the most important thing was that Alice had not found any trace of Siegmund in the house, and she was sure that the other party had opened the door and entered the house.

"Who are you, and why are you stalking me?"

Imaginarily, Siegmund held the sword to his throat, and the cold face did not appear, as if Siegmund had simply disappeared from the main plane.

The disappearance from the main plane, if it was before the appearance of the Ragnarok Pact, no, even if the plane wall was not strengthened to a certain extent last year, it was still achievable, but this year, even with Alice's power, it was impossible to do such a thing in a short period of time.

What Alice couldn't do in a short period of time, Zigmund couldn't even be a spellcaster.

"Did you get out of here?"

After eliminating all other impossibilities, the only truth that exists, no matter how unwilling you are to believe it, is the only thing that exists...... The only way to escape Alice's tracking is that there is a secret passage somewhere in the house that leads to other places.

Only in this way was Siegmund able to escape from Alice's induction in a very short time, in a matter of minutes that added up.

"Is it here?"

Without using any magic, Alice shrugged her nose like a puppy, and through the residual smell in the air, she quickly found a secret passage under the bed.

Stepping into it, she turned around and closed the door of the secret passage, she also took the light source, and walked along the passage to the front, although the secret passage was full of dull air and full of earthy smell, but she could still accurately filter out the smell that belonged to Siegmund.

Different from the tunnel that went to find those people in the gray area before, this is a straight secret passage, there is no messy tea ceremony, and there is no trap that can kill, according to the situation along the way, it should lead to the outside of the city, judging from some traces left in the secret passage, Zigmund used this secret passage not very often.

It's normal to think about it, after all, this is the stronghold of the Goths, the capital of the empire, and the people who live here are all vested interests in the establishment of the empire, and they are also the most loyal to the empire and the most loyal to Siegel.

For their interests, for the sake of the future of the empire, they will never let go of any remnant of Barusenger, and will not let the ashes that have been burned back one day, so Siegmund, as the prince of Barusenger and the last Balusenger, is not only Siegel who will not let him go, but other people who have common interests with him will not let him go.

As she progressed, the air in the passage began to freshen, and Alice knew that she was about to reach the exit of the tunnel, and if nothing else, Siegmund was waiting for her there.

A few rays of sunlight shone into the secret passage from around the door, with the unique smell of sunlight, clearly illuminating the dust and other impurities in the air.

"Who are you, and why are you following me?"

As Alice had imagined in the room, when she opened the door, the glare of the sunlight made it impossible for her to see what was in front of her for a moment, the cold metal had touched the skin of her neck, and then Siegmund's voice of the transformed youth into youth came to her ears.

"Don't be in a hurry, Siegmund, who do you see who I am?"

When Siegmund's name came out of Alice's mouth, Siegmund tightened his sword and was about to cut off the incoming man's neck, but the familiar voice made him stop at the last moment.

"Who are you?"

The familiar girl's voice, Siegmund must have heard such a voice, and has an unusual impression of the owner of this voice, but because of the past two years, he has been in a state of revenge, and for a while he has not been unable to find the identity of the owner of this voice in his mind.

And Alice's outfit in front of her ...... A malnourished Scandinavian girl from a poor family, in the capital of this empire, there are not tens of thousands, but thousands, and such a familiar voice will never appear in the mouth of an ordinary Scandinavian girl.

"Don't you even recognize me? Speaking of which, the last time we met was in the forest, it seems like it's only been a little over a year now, right? Siegmund, when did your memory get so bad?"

The girl at Sigoay's wedding made him feel a familiar voice, such conditions were added in pairs, and the only one who met the requirements was the establishment of the Baltic Empire, becoming one of the three great powers in the Baltic region, which greatly weakened the Scandinavian Empire, but the helpless Lord of the Baltic Sea - Alice Norregi, the former lord of Jutland and now the master of the Baltic Empire.

"Miss Alice, I didn't expect to see you in this place at this time. ”

Siegmund did not let his guard down, he still held the sword around the girl's neck, and there was no familiarity in his gaze, as cold as the cold wind from the Siberian plains.

Although in terms of camp, Siegmund who was fooled by Siegel and had a deep hatred with Siegel was in a hostile camp with Siegel, but this does not mean that Alice and Siegmund can become friends, the enemies of enemies can indeed become friends, but many times they are also enemies.

"There's nothing strange here, maybe you don't know, and Sigourney didn't tell you, I don't want you to get involved in what happens between us. ”

Alice's simple words made Siegmund let go of his hostility, or that anything involving Sigoney, Sigmomund's precious sister and only relative, could easily lift his guard.

This is not to say that Siegmund was too naïve, nor can it be said that he has social experience and inexperience, only that Siegmund cares too much about his sister.

"I'm here to talk to you, and of course you know my identity. ”

"I know it's no secret, even now, rumors are circulating in the tavern that an empire built by a woman is on par with Attila. ”

Of course, Zygmund had never been to a tavern, and the few times he had been to the city had important things to do, he didn't have time to waste in a tavern like this, but he was still able to get a lot of information from some unopened mouths, many well-known stories that circulated in the bard's mouth.

"It seems that you haven't had any contact with Sigoarney during this time? Did Sigourney really give up her hatred, for the sake of her and Siegel's children, or because she didn't want to trouble you, so that the country of Barusenge could be restored one day?"

Alice had a calm smile on her face, and from the very beginning she had firmly grasped the initiative of verbal conversation, bombarding Zigmund condescendingly.

Siegmund didn't know where he had shown his feet, but he quickly remembered something, and there was a slight struggle on his face, because he remembered that when he had a conversation with the middle-aged man in the gray area, the seemingly ordinary Scandinavian girl present was the one in front of him.

Damn, how didn't I recognize him at the time, how could I just ignore him like that

Siegmund cursed twice, opening his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Alice one step ahead.

"Looks like you're doing well at this time, and if Siegel knew, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night. ”

In the main plane, no one can make a feud with the same legendary powerhouse, and after being targeted by him, he can still sleep peacefully, especially Siegmund is still a guy who has proven his strength through the corpses of enemies on the battlefield.

"Don't mention the name, Miss Alice!"

At the mention of Siegel's name by Alice again, Siegmund blushed and shouted with his sword.

"One day, this sword in my hand will look down on that ugly head, and one day this evil empire will burn in the wrath of the people of Barusenge!"

"Someday, there will be a day that will never bring...... Siegmund, you're not a kid anymore, you've been through so much, you shouldn't continue to be so naïve. ”

"Not to mention that with your current strength, you can single-handedly fight against an empire, and you can kill the Western ...... How likely is their king, just say that the gods you believe in, the gods who live in Asgard will not allow you to do so, and that will destroy their foundations in the Lord plane. ”

"Besides, what about Sigoarney? You're going to kill Sigourney's husband, are you going to kill the father of Sigoarney's child? Are you going to kill Sigoney along with Sigoarney?"

If the hatred in his heart could drive Zygmund to abandon his belief in the Aesir gods, then his love for Sigourney could also make him abandon his hatred of Siegel.

As Alice said, he can kill his enemies, he can give everything for the hatred of the country, but he has no way to kill Sigoaney's husband and kill the father of Sigoney's children.

Thinking of this, Siegmund felt all the strength in his body disappear, and the long sword slipped from his hand and plunged deep into the plank of the ground.

As the sword fell, there was also the fire of revenge that was extinguished in the heart...... All for the dearest sister, Sigoarney, the princess of Barusenga.
