1:33:02
That is the ring of the Nibelung.
1:33:04
The oldest thing in the hoard.
1:33:07
The one who possesses it
is the treasure's owner.
1:33:10
It comes with a curse.
1:33:13
Fafnir lies dead because of it.
1:33:16
Heed our warning,
or you too will pay.
1:33:28
- What sorcery is this?
- The magical Tarnhelm.
1:33:30
With it, you can wear
any shape you desire.
1:33:34
His name is Alberich,
and he was one of us.
1:33:38
But greed awok e in Alberich.
1:33:40
He wanted the treasure for himself.
1:33:42
- Like you.
- It's all mine now.
1:33:45
Eric the blacksmith killed the dragon!
1:33:48
Fafnir is dead!
1:33:52
I command that Eric the blacksmith
be proclaimed a hero of the kingdom.
1:33:56
Even the honour of guarding
such a treasure...
1:33:59
...would bring fame to Burgund...
1:34:01
...once it's known that you have been
entrusted with the safety of the hoard.
1:34:05
Defeat dragons with iron,
but win maidens with gold.
1:34:10
My heart is pledged already.
1:34:12
- Would I know her?
- No.
1:34:15
She lives far away.
1:34:17
And I will marry
no one else, Hallbera.
1:34:19
Not a prince, not a king,
not the Roman emperor himself.
1:34:24
I'll bring my love with me
to Xanten as my wife.
1:34:26
- But you're gonna come with me.
- I have no more travelling left in me.
1:34:31
I have hardly even breath anymore.
1:34:35
They call me Eric the blacksmith,
Eric the dragon slayer...
1:34:38
... and Eric the hero of Burgund.
1:34:43
I am Siegfried.
1:34:47
Son of Siegmund, King of Xanten.
1:34:50
You're beaten.
Your kingdoms will be divided...
1:34:53
...between the kings
of Burgund and Xanten.
1:34:55
I want him tied to the house
of Burgund forever.
1:34:58
My sister will marry
Siegfried of Xanten.
