"Don't rush, don't rush, we have a long time and we don't need to worry about someone coming to interrupt our conversation. ”

Speaking words that are easy for outsiders to understand, looking at the gray look on Siegmund's face, the despair revealed in his eyes, Alice took two steps forward, patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and showed a distorted smile on her face with makeup, well, this is essentially the reason why Alice doesn't like makeup, after all, people who are naturally beautiful, the fine powder on that layer of face will damage her appearance. (It's true that the makeup that is in vogue on the main plane right now doesn't match Alice's aesthetic, and she doesn't have much hands-on experience when it comes to makeup.) ）

"That's just my guess, isn't it? I think in this regard, we need to ask Sigourney what he means, even if you're the closest person in the world, her brother, you don't have the ability and reason to make decisions for her, Siegmund. ”

"No, I don't believe you, Alice. ”

Siegmund dissipated Alice's hand, picked up the sword and stood up, the gray on his face had receded a little, and the despair in his heart had also dissipated a lot.

As Alice said, these things were just her guesses, for Sigmund her own revenge and other things were now secondary, only Sigourne's thoughts, Sigourney's will was the most important.

"Now, you are the master of the Baltic Empire, and I ...... No matter what hatred I have with Siegel, whether we were destroyed by the Goths or not, we are all part of Scandinavia, descendants of the god Odin. ”

The Barusengers have Odin's blood in their bodies, and they are the only descendants of Odin who can be confirmed to remain in the main plane, and unlike the Yeats, if even they do something to turn their backs on the Scandinavians, it will be a heavy blow to the prestige of the Aesir gods in the main plane.

Think about it, how can a god line that even the descendants of the blood choose to betray be trusted by others? How can it be respected by other gods with the same power?

In addition to the blow to the prestige of the Aesir gods, it also has a profound impact on the ordinary Scandinavians below, and even the direct bloodline of the gods they believe in has chosen to betray, so how can they give everything wholeheartedly and devoutly as before? This will be something that will shake the rule of the entire Aesir gods in Scandinavia, and it is something that the gods will never allow. (Siegel destroyed Barusenge, but he married Sigourney and succeeded in allowing his children to inherit Barusenge's blood.) ）

What's more, with the character of the Barusenger and the proud character of Siegmund, it is absolutely impossible for him to choose Scandinavia and throw himself into the arms of the Baltic Empire like the Yeats, even if the current Jeats believe in the same member of the Aesir gods, the direct bloodline of the god Odin, and lead the souls of the warriors to Valkyrie in the Valhalla Palace, the chief of the Valkyries, Brunhilde.

"And you're playing tricks on a lot of things after that, and you're like the god of mischief, who likes to see the panicked and annoyed looks of others, and likes to make fools of people. ”

In the eyes of uninformed others, although Alice has a good relationship with Sigourney on the surface, she is an admirable surface sister, but in essence, their relationship is not good, they are only in the stage of using each other, if there is no use value, they will not hesitate to give up the other party, as the saying goes, the reason why they did not choose to betray is just because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough.

"Indeed, what you said is not wrong, our two positions are indeed different, or that the Baltic Empire that I represent and the Scandinavian forces you are in have irreconcilable contradictions at this stage, and this contradiction will continue for a long time and will not be resolved. ”

As the founder of the empire and the object of faith, Alice can indeed represent the Baltic Empire, she can make promises to anyone, any power, as the Baltic Empire, well, but usually, she will consult with Semiramis, Skaha, and others, such as the fact that she is now in Scandinavia, and what she is going to do.

"However, this is only at this stage, don't forget, this region is not just our two empires, the one in the east has now dealt with the frost giants and centaurs who betrayed her, and it will not be long before he launches another expedition to the west. ”

"Do you think that this time her goal is us, or your Scandinavia? Or do you think that after cleaning the interior and twisting the power in her hands into a rope, she will stop conquering?

This is already a well-known thing, but it was the first time that Siegmund had heard such news in a semi-disconnected state of society, and when he heard the familiar name once, he couldn't help but recall the time when he was in high spirits on the battlefield.

At that time, Beowulf's Yeats were still the undisputed overlords of Scandinavia, and Sigourne, who led the Barusenge to support, was entrusted with the important task, and he successfully proved himself on the battlefield with the death of an old powerhouse.

At that time, Alice was still the lord of a small remote territory in the south, and Fergus was leading the Red Branch Knights on the sea that had turned into ice fields.

At that time, in Siegmund's opinion, the best time, in order to fight against the invader Attila, in order to be able to snatch a little victory in the hands of the invincible god of war, whether they knew it or not, whether there was a grudge before, everyone gathered under the same banner and fought with all their might.

However, after all, that time has passed, and the current Scandinavia no longer has such a role as a hegemon, but instead has completed the unification and is integrating various forces, the Scandinavian Empire has never been, and never thought that it would appear in this land dominated by tribal forces.

"The first goal of Attila's westward expedition this time will definitely be the empire established by you Scandinavians, this is an undoubted thing, you just have to think carefully and analyze it well, you can draw conclusions. ”

Alice's words interrupted Siegmund's thoughts, and made him come back to his senses from the memory, with a complicated and inexplicable look in his eyes, a little helpless, a little unwilling, and a little relieved.

Whether he is willing to admit it or not, whether he is willing to accept it or not, there is no way to change the established facts, even if it is the goddess of fate, even if it is the lord of time, there is no way to turn back the time of the main plane and let the world return to the way it was a few years ago.

Similarly, in this world of high magic, they have no way to modify the long river of fate, nor can they swim in it at will to affect fate and time.

"First, Attila, who has never been defeated, was defeated twice by you Scandinavians, and you have also made a mess in Finland (in essence, Alice and Semiramis are primarily responsible for the chaos in Finland, but the pot has been well thrown to Beowulf, because the main force of the expedition was the Yeats led by Beowulf, and it was because of that expedition that Beowulf died and Yeat's decline. ）”

"Second, the addition of those centaurs represents that you Scandinavians have an unshirkable responsibility for the Frost Giants' rebellion, or perhaps their rebellion was promoted by you, and you are the culprit, don't deny it, Siegmund, after all, the development of events has spoken for itself, no matter how much you quibble, the real facts have been paid for the water, and there is no room for revision and refutation. ”

"For the sake of revenge, in order to erase her shame, it seems not surprising that you Scandinavians should be the first object of your expedition to the west. ”

Alice didn't know if Attila would be ashamed of being defeated twice, but when it came to convincing Sigmund there was nothing wrong with it, and it could deepen the persuasiveness in her words.

Zigmund has nothing to argue about these two points, according to the mainstream thinking of the main plane now, after being beaten, it is normal to bury his head in hard training and fight back after his strength is strong.

"Also, the third point, there is a big gap between the strength of your Scandinavians and my Baltic Empire, if I were Attila, the first choice of the western expedition would definitely be to choose a weak target, as long as you understand that people will make such a choice. ”

Alice's sentence is a bit of a braggart in it, purely bullying Sigmund for not understanding the current situation in the Baltic Sea region, and taking advantage of the information asymmetry between the two sides to persuade, or it is already a kind of deception.

Although the Goths lost a large number of experienced and powerful warriors and spellcasters because of the last fireworks of the Yeats, the Baltic Empire was the disadvantaged side in terms of the size of the territory, the number of population, the number of warriors, and other aspects.

"Okay, what do you want to do? What do you want to do? What do you need me to do?"

Attila's second expedition to the west, and also set the goal on Scandinavia, is not good news for Sigmund, after all, Attila does not believe in the Aesir gods, and her conquest will damage the interests of the Aesir gods in the main plane, which is absolutely unacceptable to Sigmund as a descendant of the god Odin.

"I want to meet Sigoarney, there's a lot to discuss with her. ”

Alice and Sigoarney should not meet in any way, if it is to discuss how to deal with Attila, Alice needs to find not Sigourn, but Siegel.

And she's not supposed to be dressed as an ordinary Scandinavian teenage girl and show up here to talk to Sigmund the wanted criminal of the Scandinavian Empire.

However, Siegmund can't think of so much, even if he has experienced those things, in essence, he is still a naïve teenager, and life experience is not so simple to accumulate, especially during this time, he is in a state of semi-disconnection from society.

"See Sigoney, I'm sorry, I can't get in touch with her. ”

Seeing the look of disbelief on Alice's face, Siegmund quickly explained.

"You know, if I could get in touch with her, I wouldn't have used such reckless methods to go to those gray area people to buy information. ”

"This secret passage was built by us Barusenge, or was it Sigourney who proposed to build it to gather information about the Goths so that we can learn about them. ”

"And the character of our Barushingers, you also know, let's build a secret passage from the Gothic royal city to the outside of the city, and if we want to blend into the palace to do such a big project, it is impossible to do it. ”

Looking at Siegmund's face, combined with his previous actions and behavior remarks, Alice still believed his statement, but still asked unwillingly.

"Didn't Sigourney contact you? After you escaped from Siegel and took the sword he was bound to obtain, there's no way she'll not contact you, right?

"No, no, Sigourney is my sister, I know her, she won't do such things that waste time and energy, and if something happens to me, Sigal will definitely not be able to resist taking my things and going to Sigourney to show off and show off. ”

"The absence of me is the best news for Sigoarney, as only then can she be sure that I am still alive and trying to get our revenge. ”

At this, a cold smile appeared on Siegmund's face again.

"Besides, don't you know that after I'm gone, Siegel has put my sister under house arrest and built a wall in the middle of the royal city at a great cost, if it weren't for Sigourney being pregnant with his child......"

Siegmund didn't want to think about the reason why Siegel didn't punish Sigourney angrily, there is so ridiculous, and it is so incredible, because it is difficult for anyone to imagine that Siegel, who destroyed the Barushinger family, is actually deeply in love with Sigoay, even if she does something that is a great threat to his ambition and his empire, he will choose to forgive in the end, this reason is also on Sigourney giving birth to the heir of the empire for Sigur, and Sigourney let Barushinger's blood merge into the Goths。
