In fact, I don't blame Regin for his attitude, because Siegfried has been away for more than half a year.
This was encouraged by Hoder. After the lecture was over and some of the most basic things were explained, the sage of Völsung encouraged him to walk around and visit various countries.
And this approach is not incomprehensible, after all, Siegfried's goal is not to become a warrior, but a king.
He had no chance to learn from his father as king, and he could only see everything with his own eyes.
So he started planning his itinerary very early on, and after planning his itinerary with a rough atrium map, he set off.
Theoretically speaking, with the strength of the divine steed Grani's feet that are too strong, in fact, it only takes half a year for him to walk around the entire kingdom of Midgard. If you need to observe, at most Just spend a year.
His route looks like this:
Starting from the Netherlands, he first set off towards the north: the border of the Netherlands, Denmark, Gitland, and Norway. After arriving at the coast, he did not take a boat, but rode a horse all the way to the south.
After passing through the Gothic Kingdom, he went to Burgundy, and after a quick tour there, he finally arrived at the Hungarian Empire, which is currently the most powerful in Midgard.
How much energy is saved by an excellent horse, the journey that should have taken several years to complete was directly compressed into one year in theory!
In fact, this year is also the time limit set by Siegfried himself. At the latest, he will definitely return to the Netherlands and Strath.
But in fact he still broke his promise, because he still spent a few more months.
But he didn't think it was wrong, so he didn't have to pretend to be silent in front of Regin.
"I've been to a lot of places during this time. As for why I came back late, it's because I saw a caravan after arriving in Hungary." He said, "I followed the caravan after that."
At the same time, he took off the hood of his cloak and his helmet, revealing his youthful features.
More than a year has passed, and he actually doesn't have much time to take care of his hair, which caused his hair to be messy. During this period of time, he guessed that he could only shave his beard with a knife every morning so.
"What an embarrassing face."
Although it is a bit too much to say that Siegfried, a young man who has just returned, this is indeed Regin's idea.
Siegfried used to live an ordinary life as an apprentice blacksmith. He had a lot of time to organize his appearance, but now he can't do it after all.
Therefore, Siegfried will not be angry or irritable because of this, not to mention that he is a mild-tempered person.
"Life alone is much more difficult than I imagined. I had to cook by myself when I was out in the wild. If my uncle hadn't taught me some cooking skills, I guess I would have to eat raw flesh and blood with Grani."
He is much more mature than before...
This is Regin's feeling, there is no complaint in his tone, this kind of calm attitude is something he didn't have before.
And in terms of temperament, the current Siegfried is definitely not inferior to any warrior.
"I still remember that your greatest wish was to take risks with a sword in your hand."
"Because at that time, I didn't like being confined to one place, and I always felt very boring."
"What about now?"
"Now..." Speaking of these, Siegfried's handsome face could not help showing a touch of delicacy and helplessness, "Now, actually, I think it's good to settle down here."
This is his most real feeling, without any tendency.
Because that enthusiasm faded quickly after he embarked on an unrestrained, private adventure with a passion for it.
There were many travelers in the towns he passed, but they all had their own professions: mercenaries, merchants, and they traveled to support their families.
There are actually very few people who are truly capable and can take risks without restraint, and people are not actually free.
But of course, there are people who really love the 'adventure' thing, they want to go to various places on foot, to see the scenery, this is their purest purpose.
"I thought about it carefully. I'm not a businessman or a mercenary. I don't like being controlled by others. I didn't have any travel plans at first."
In the end, Siegfried laughed himself. For him now, the self more than a year ago was quite ridiculous.
Just like what my uncle said, when he really started traveling and visited various kingdoms, he matured a lot.
"Thinking about it carefully, I used to have no specific purpose at all. Rather than taking risks, it is better to say that I want to leave the place where I grew up. This idea disappeared when I arrived in Denmark."
After really experiencing the loneliness of being alone, Siegfried really understood the meaning of the words 'travel' and 'adventure', which are not that simple.
"Then what is the reason for you to continue traveling?" He asked casually
"It's fresh, I want to look around, and besides, I want to go back." He said something like this
Siegfried's tone was very calm, but what he said was somewhat contradictory to outsiders, but Regin could understand what he was talking about.
Siegfried, the descendant of Völsung, when he said "go back", he meant returning to the Netherlands and the royal city built by the Völsung family, but it is not that simple to go back.
Thinking of this, Regin couldn't help feeling emotional, and most of his drunkenness disappeared at this time.
He has really grown up and learned to observe his surroundings and choose his words carefully.
In the previous conversation, only the parties involved could understand what they were talking about, and the others probably could only understand the superficial meaning.
"I'm suddenly curious about your adventures." The dwarf finally said
But at this time, Siegfried began to whet his appetite.
"It's not urgent, we still have to wait for uncle... where did he go?" he asked
"Since you left, he hasn't stayed here long in Strath. He has also left, and only comes back to visit occasionally." Speaking of this, Regin suddenly spread his palm to draw a rune in his palm. It is the magic to track a certain object engraved with runes, "But you don't have to worry, he should come over by this time."
He jumped off the chair prepared for humans, and ran out of the tavern all the way.
He was so fast that Siegfried didn't even get up, and the old dwarf just ran to the door.
"Okay, come on, he's already in the hotel."
