Calamity Crown

Goethe's great-grandfather had two children.

One is Goethe's grandfather.

The other one is the father of Grand Duke Scrooge.

There are three Scrooge brothers, plus his father, a total of four.

It just so happened that four copies of [Bloody Honor] appeared on this long sword!

Therefore, the 'grateful' of the 'witch' is not wrong.

The bloodline of the 'Mad King' ends with 'Goethe', and it is completely over!

So here comes the problem!

Now that Grand Duke Scrooge is dead.

Who is the current Grand Duke Scrooge?

The answer is not difficult to guess.

‘The momentary blindness cost our grandfather and two uncles their lives! Let our father be mortally wounded! '

Emlei K's words sounded from the bottom of Goethe's heart again.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at the annotation of [Sharp Long Sword (Excellent)] again.

Credor!

The owner of this long sword is Credor!

It was Credor who killed the three Scrooge brothers and each other's father!

Then, pretending to be Scrooge K!

Although it feels absurd, Goethe can't think of anything other than this possibility.

A great detective once said: When all other possibilities are excluded, there remains one, no matter how improbable, that is the truth—Goethe deeply believed in this.

At the same time, Goethe also understood why Scrooge C. had withdrawn from the "Northern Keeper Branch".

There must be too many familiar people there, even if the disguise is perfect, it will show flaws!

And inside the castle...

Goethe frowned secretly.

Compared with the 'Northern Secret Keeper Branch', there is no doubt that the people in the castle are more familiar, just like the old butler, who has served three generations of confidantes, it is impossible for such a person not to see the clues.

unless……

Everyone here is also cooperating with Credor!

Even, the people here are quietly 'changed'!

Only in this way can 'Scrooge K' and 'Credor' appear at the same time.

Goethe was startled.

He thought of more.

Back then, it was obviously impossible to do this with only one Credor.

There must be someone to cooperate.

What could be more appropriate than the 'Royal Family of Tesin'?

After Credor killed the four members of Scrooge K.'s family for unknown reasons, he pretended to be Scrooge K. and continued to rule the northern border with the help of the "Royal Tesin Family". In the ground, Credor cooperates with the 'Royal Tesin family' to obtain considerable benefits, and to deal with the problems that the 'Royal Tesin family' cannot come forward to solve.

The thoughts in Goethe's mind gradually became clear.

Although there are still a few points of doubt, they are not important.

Goethe began to think about how to deal with the next thing!

As for leaving?

Don't even think about it!

Obviously, 'Scrooge K' invited him because the 'Royal Tesin' covets the legacy of the 'Mad King' - 'Mist Killer' is a member of the 'Royal Tesin'. Goethe believed that 'Scrooge K' would not lie to him.

Recalling the clues given by the 'Mist in the Mist'.

Undoubtedly, the place where the clues point to is the 'North Territory'!

But there are still some key points missing in order to obtain the 'Mad King's Legacy'!

That's why he, the guardian of the 'Mad King's Legacy', was invited here!

Under such a premise, want to leave?

Unless the other party has obtained the 'Mad King's Legacy'!

Otherwise, it is impossible!

"What a hassle!"

Goethe sighed inwardly.

Just as he expected before, this trip to the 'Northern Territory' was full of conspiracies, but not from the children of Scrooge C. C., but on Scrooge C. C. himself!

This?

Just the worst!

"What's the matter, Goethe?"

'Grand Duke Scrooge' came over and asked.

"I have some doubts."

Goethe said softly.

"What doubts?"

"Credor is the murderer!"

"Father, we should arrest this guy immediately!"

"Only in this way can we shut the mouths of Klein's consultant family!"

Emler K interrupted Goethe's words and said directly.

The 'grand duke's second son' identified Credor as the murderer.

"Brother, please calm down!"

"With the current evidence, it is still not possible to determine that Lord Credor is the murderer-the width of this corridor cannot allow a person to fully use this long sword to carry out such a stabbing, let alone someone like Credor. A man as tall and strong as Your Excellency."

Gergil Ke tried his best to argue with reason.

But this made the other party's elder brother laugh out loud.

"As we all know, Credor is a master of swordsmanship. This kind of space that ordinary people cannot use is not a problem for this master of swordsmanship-you look at the direction of the sword tip, it seems to be piercing straight, but in fact It was an oblique stab from the bottom upwards. Credor must have drawn his sword with lightning speed and stabbed Advisor Klein. Only in this way could he lift Advisor Klein's entire body and directly attack him. Plunge into this wall!"

Under the watchful eyes of his elder brother and father, the "Second Son of the Grand Duke" whose words were full of sarcasm at the beginning quickly turned into a serious answer.

Although he didn't draw his sword, the "Second Son of the Grand Duke"'s stern gestures are very consistent with what the other party said.

This made Gejir Ke speechless.

Looking at the silent third son, 'Grand Duke Scrooge' looked at Goethe.

"Did you discover anything just now?"

The 'Grand Duke' brought back the topic.

"Um."

"I'm just curious, why did Lord Credor keep his long sword—or rather, why didn't he use an ordinary long sword?"

After Goethe nodded, he said so.

Standing there, Goethe appeared to be the same as before, as if he had simply made his own judgment.

The more dangerous the more calm it is.

The more dangerous you are, the more calm you will be.

In the training of the hometown 'club', there is a special similar training.

Goethe was naturally not the one with the best grades - because, in the first time of this class, Goethe incorporated the 'acting skills' he had learned before into it.

Therefore, Goethe knew what he should do at this time.

Clumsy?

no need.

It will only backfire.

On the premise of maintaining a normal level, heighten his vigilance and find a breakthrough point is what he should do most now.

"Are you used to this sword?"

"Maybe it's too late?"

"Or is it not pulled out?"

"It's also possible, it's..."

The 'Second Son of the Grand Duke' was taken aback for a moment, and said subconsciously, but he fell silent as he spoke.

Just like what he said, Credor is a master swordsman, drawing his sword to kill Claire was effortless at all. Under such a premise, how could the other party leave the long sword on the scene?

"Maybe it's because of his suspicion?"

In the end, the 'grand duke's second son' said so.

However, this could not convince the 'Grand Duke Scrooge Ke' and the 'Eldest Son of the Grand Duke'.

"Father, I have already sent the guards to look for Lord Credor—even if the murderer sets a trap to kill people, but with the strength of Lord Credor, there is a high probability that he will be safe, and in the worst case, he will definitely be safe." Leave us a message!"

"As well as the family members of Advisor Klein, I have also sent someone to notify."

"They should be here soon."

The eldest son of the Grand Duke said.

Following the 'Eldest Prince''s opening, the quarrel between the second son and the third son stopped immediately.

Obviously, the elder brother has absolute majesty in this family.

"Well, you, Emlei, and Gejir go to receive them first, and I will arrive later."

Grand Duke 'Scrooge C.' said.

Immediately, the three 'sons of the grand duke' bowed and bowed at the same time to leave.

After the three sons left, the 'Grand Duke' turned to look at Goethe and continued.

"Goethe, use your channel to tell the 'Keeper of Secrets' everything that happened here."

'Grand Duke Scrooge' said with a straight face.

After finishing speaking, the elder's apology was revealed.

"Sorry, Goethe."

"I got you involved."

"But don't worry, it will be over soon!"

"I promise you that!"

Facing the assurance of the 'Grand Duke', Goethe nodded to express his trust.

"I have ordered Butler Yate to reserve a room here for you and your friends. If you need anything, just talk to Butler Yate directly—he is the person I trust the most."

"OK, all right."

Goethe did not refuse. In the current situation, it is the best choice to stay in the vision of this "Grand Duke" and make the other party think that everything is under control.

"dinner!"

"During dinner, I will definitely let you eat stewed earth dragon!"

After the 'Grand Duke' patted Goethe on the shoulder again, he strode away.

The old butler was already waiting in the corridor at this time.

"Master Goethe, please come with me."

Goethe glanced back in the direction of the kitchen, fluttered his nostrils, smelled the smell of meat carefully, and then walked to the guest room with the old housekeeper.

Sheila and Swart had already been waiting in the guest room.

The guest room arranged by the old housekeeper is a large suite, with four independent bedrooms and a public living room, study room, entertainment room, as well as private living room, study room and so on.

If it is not placed in the castle, it is an independent courtyard.

"Master Goethe, if you have any orders, please let me know immediately."

After the old butler finished speaking, he bowed and left.

Sheila and Swart stared at the back of the old butler until the other party disappeared completely, then asked in a low voice.

"What happened?"

Although both of them were in the castle hall, the sudden change in the atmosphere did not hide it from them.

"Advisor Clay Young is dead."

"Assassinated by Lord Credor's sword."

Goethe said truthfully.

This well-known matter has nothing to hide from the two of them.

As for some secret things?

Goethe would never say.

"What?"

"Damn it!"

"I knew something was going to happen!"

Swart exclaimed, and then turned around in the room. After about four or five laps, the sheriff suggested again: "Goethe, let's run! I always feel that this matter is not that simple!"

"Of course it's not easy!"

"This is an opportunity!"

"As long as Credor becomes the murderer, the other party's subordinates will also be jointly and severally responsible, and will be quarantined for review for the time being. Then Goethe's plan will come—to take control of the 'Northern Secret Keeper Branch'!"

Sheila's eyes sparkled with wisdom.

Swart was startled.

The sheriff felt a little out of touch with Sheila's brain circuits.

Especially when he found that Goethe was concentrating on thinking, he even exclaimed.

"Goethe, you don't listen to a fool, do you?"

"Won't!"

"Wait for me for a while, I need to report everything that happened here."

With that said, Goethe picked up the box containing Jin Ke and left the room.
