Chapter 314: The Long Sword Inserted into the Oak Tree

"Thank you for coming to my wedding party with Sigoaney. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Siegel held his glass aloft, the cloudy liquor dangling in the light.

At this time, it was already past dusk, the sun had set over the mountain, and in addition to the huge bonfire still burning in the center of the banquet, in the dense branches of the trees in mid-air, flowers composed of pure light were quietly blooming, illuminating the whole venue as bright as day.

With Siegel's toast, the whole banquet began to enter the most lively part, the aggressive Scandinavians had already picked up wooden swords and axes around the campfire, and began a fierce battle, they were all drunk, but this did not affect their dodge and attack movements, more people gathered around the perimeter, cheering, shouting, and waiting, waiting for the loser to appear, so that they could play as a substitute.

"Sigoaney, what do you think?"

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was in a carnival, Alice, who was full of food and drink, shook off Avrigne's follow, and quietly came to the side of Sigourn, who was sitting alone, and Siegel, as the groom, had already taken the wine glass to deal with the guests from all over the world, only she remained in her seat and did not move.

"Alice? I didn't expect Siegel to have such a big face to invite you over. ”

Glancing at the girl who had walked behind her, Sigourney turned her gaze to the bonfire in the middle of the field, and the blazing flames were reflected in Sigourney's eyes like a devil dancing in it.

"Siegel is the king of the Goths, but I have never dealt with him, and I only attend this banquet because the bride's name is Sigoaney. ”

"Yes, is our relationship so close?"

After saying this, the atmosphere between the two became extremely awkward.

After a moment, perhaps sensing that her language was too rude, Sigourney spoke.

"How's Kiel? I haven't seen her in a long time. ”

If Alice and Sigourne only maintain a superficial friendship, then Sigourney and Cheer are friends who have nothing to say, perhaps because Sigourney herself has lived as a sister until now, so she especially hopes to have a sister, and after getting along with Chill, she can't help but treat each other as a sister.

"Qi'er is very good, now she is with Shileswig, and she is practicing. ”

Alice didn't tell Sigourney that Kiel was preparing to advance to the Legends, and even though she knew that Sigourney and Kiel were very close, she didn't plan to tell them such important news about Kiel's life.

"I'm so envious of Qi'er. ”

Sigourney said in a melancholy voice, her eyes still lacking the slightest sparkle, and she envied that Qil had Alice's protection and did not need to fulfill the duties of a princess like her.

"Princess Barusenga, Sigoay, you just don't want to resist. ”

At this time, Alice couldn't see that Her Royal Highness the princess was not willing to marry the Gothic king at all, although she didn't know the reason, but it was estimated that it was just a few, either because she had a crush, or she didn't like Siegel.

"How to resist, I am the princess of Barusenga, and I will only be the princess of Barusenga. ”

Since she came to the world as the princess of Barusinger, since she has not given up her identity as a princess, Sigourney has long been ready to use marriage as a bargaining chip, whether it is used as a bargaining chip to win over the strong, or to fix the covenant, or as a tool for peace and affection, to eliminate the war, she can accept it calmly.

It's just that from today onwards, Sigoay, as the princess of Barusinger, will die, and the new will be the Gothic queen Sigoay, the former has loose freedom, but the latter is firmly bound by marriage and family.

"Miss Alice, may I ask you a question?"

After hesitating a few times, Sigourney still asked the question hidden in her heart.

"Lord Beowulf, how did you die?"

This question had been pressing on Sigournee's heart for a long time, and from the moment the news of Beowulf's death came, she felt that something was wrong, because in any case, Beowulf's death always felt a little strange to her.

Sigourney believes that Beowulf, although he likes to fight, is not a reckless fellow, and that he will choose to retreat strategically rather than fight to the death when he knows that he will not be defeated, and according to those who have returned from Karelia, Beowulf is not actually forced into a desperate situation from which he cannot escape.

So, what caused him to exchange his life for the war and hit the famine hard, at least from the information he had obtained, Sigourney had no way to analyze Beowulf's mental activity at that time.

What's more, the berserkers who followed Beowulf had witnessed Alice's appearance in Karelia, and since Alice appeared there, as a powerful and important ally, she should not sit idly by and watch Beowulf's death.

"I don't know, the last battle, I didn't participate in. ”

Alice didn't even blink her eyes, she didn't breathe anymore, so she told the lie casually, and she also expected that Sigourney didn't know but the specific situation would be so fearless.

Because with the exception of Skaha and the Attila Army, all the people who had seen Alice in that battle were already dead, which is why Alice killed the centaurs and gnolls when she took action, and by the way, she also eliminated the berserkers who had not had time to retreat, in order to cover up the truth about the final killing of Beowulf.

"It was also when I returned to Jutland that I learned of Beowulf's death. ”

"It's a pity. ”

Alice hated her acting skills at this time, and if a few tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes at this time, then her grief would be more real, and it would be more likely to dispel Sigoney's suspicions.

"I am also saddened by Beowulf's death, after all, he and I are friends. ”

They never became friends, and if it weren't for the appearance of Attila, Beowulf and Alice would still be enemies of life and death, you must know that Alice killed Horosga, Beowulf's friend and benefactor, and also occupied Jutland, the closest peninsula to Scandinavia, completely choking the entrance and exit of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.

"Yes, if Lord Beowulf didn't have ......"

If Beowulf hadn't died, then Siegel's attempt at Sigourney would not have succeeded at all, and it would have been half a threat and half temptation to hold up this wedding now, and if he dared to make this request before Attila was eliminated, he would have been greeted by the entire Scandinavian coalition led by Beowulf.

"It's too late to talk about these things, and in the face of such a reality, what are you going to do, Sigoarney?"

"There is no choice but to do anything. ”

Sigourney sighed and said that with the holding of this wedding, it represents not only the conclusion of the marriage relationship between Sigourney and Siegel, nor the reconciliation between Goth and Barusenger, but also the inevitability of Gothic King Siegel succeeding Beowulf as the second generation commander of the Scandinavian coalition army.

Alice doesn't know if this is good news or bad news for Jutland, because Siegel is really a very big gap compared to Beowulf, in terms of force, Siegel is just an ordinary legend, and in terms of prestige, he is not as good as Beowulf, but from Alice's point of view, the cunning Siegel with the assistance of the clever Sigourney will become a big trouble comparable to the Attila army.

If she could, Alice didn't just come to find out the details of Siegel or to give Sigourney a blessing, but to sabotage the wedding and create some chaos to prevent the emergence of a powerful Scandinavian Empire.

However, it is obvious that Alice's wishful thinking can't be fought at all, her dear friend Francis Drake didn't come to attend, and the Aesir gods, who have always rarely interfered with the main plane, would attach so much importance to such a wedding, presumably Odin also discovered that with the end of this wedding, a powerful Scandinavian empire will appear in the north of the main plane.

Just as Alice and Sigoarney's conversation was about to continue, there was a commotion in the direction of the campfire, and the sound of loud cursing appeared in the room, but it quickly disappeared, but even this was enough to attract the attention of the whole banquet there, and Alice and Sigoarney's fake temptation did not end there.

A group of guards surrounded a one-eyed old man, he was wearing a large cloud-blue robe, he was very tall, and in such cold weather, the old man was still wearing straw sandals at his feet, this old man did not get an invitation, and he did not know how to bypass the outer defenses to come here before being discovered.

The old man's expression was very calm and serene, and he didn't even glance at the nervous guards around him, but looked directly at the groom Siegel who was surrounded by the crowd and still held a wine glass in one hand.

"Let him in, it's a festive day, and even the uninvited guests deserve good food and wine. ”

With a wave of his hand, Siegel made the guards put away their weapons, and he raised his glass with one hand, gestured to the old man, and waved away from the crowd.

The banquet returned to a lively atmosphere, and no one cared about the appearance of the old man, an uninvited guest, who was immersed in the world of wine and food, and immersed in the fight between the two berserkers in the center.

However, the loud cheers interrupted the banquet again.

Siegmund, the prince who had been sullen since the beginning of the feast, was behind the old man, and it was obvious that he was the one who had just shouted, but the old man in front of him, as if he had not heard Siegmund's words, continued to walk forward, without looking at the people around him, without saying a word, and went straight to the front of the oak tree where the ceremony had just taken place.

At this time, on the oak tree, those upside-down corpses were still swaying from side to side with the night wind, different from the entire lively venue, exuding a gloomy and deep atmosphere, but there was no need to worry that these corpses would become gods because of negative energy and resentment, after all, they were sacrificed to the gods in a sacred ceremony, and they had become a kind of sacrifice, and their bodies were more or less contaminated with the breath of the gods of the Aesir gods.

Bransstock is the name of this oak tree, he is the largest tree in the whole children's tree, and it is also the most critical tree, half of the houses in the whole city are built on this big oak tree, if something goes wrong with this oak tree, then the whole city will be destroyed.

The old man stood in front of the big oak tree, did not move for a long time, and for some reason, everyone around him also quieted down, they sat up straight, put down their wine glasses, stopped eating, delayed the battle, and the whole field was only the sound of dense breathing and the sound of air moving.

The old man turned his back to everyone, he pulled out a long sword from his robe, the silver sword light flashed, and everyone involuntarily closed their eyes at that moment, and when they opened their eyes again, the long sword had been deeply inserted into the thick trunk of the oak tree, leaving only the simple hilt in the air.

The old man turned slowly, and he opened his mouth, and said in a calm but wonderful melody to the people who were wide-eyed and still in astonishment, "Whoever can pull this sword out of this oak tree will attain the power of invincibility in this world." ”

You must know that even Attila and Skaha, who are standing at the top of the pyramid, can only be called strong, not invincible, and the only one who can be described as invincible in the main plane is the power of the gods who have disappeared for many years and are bound by contracts and cannot affect the main plane.

Heavy breathing came from the tips of everyone's noses, and even Alice couldn't resist the temptation of the sword at this moment, and she took a few steps forward before shaking her head, her eyes clear again.

"How is that possible...... How could I have believed the old man's words like this?!How could I be so easily confused by this sword!?"

The fear that had not been seen for a long time turned into a long snake that firmly bound Alice's heart, making her feel like she was suffocating, and she looked around and found that all people, including Sigourney, Siegel, Siegmund and Barusenger, were deeply absorbed in the charm of the sword.

"It's ...... The power of the gods?"

At first, Alice couldn't judge 100%, but after a while, she believed that it was the power of the gods, and this sword was definitely a divine sword that had been blessed by the gods.

Because...... Alice found that the old man had disappeared from the scene, just like he appeared, without alarming anyone, and what scared Alice even more was that she could no longer remember the old man's appearance...... Not only the appearance, but she couldn't be sure now that the one who appeared just now, the one who plunged the long sword into the trunk of the tree, was an old man, and the only trace left was the one-eyed that had been carrying an inexplicable brilliance!
