Calamity Crown

Northern Territory, Fortress Tosca.

The Tusca Fortress, which was built entirely for military purposes, abandoned the beauty of the city construction, leaving only practicality and sturdiness. Therefore, the whole fortress looked extremely rough, like a monster crawling on the horizon, firmly Stare at the border with Tesin.

The Second Army of the North is permanently stationed in Fort Tosca.

With the arrival of Grand Duke Scrooge, the First Legion also entered Fortress Tosca.

The 60,000 people of the two legions did not fill Tosca. On the contrary, many places were very empty-the Tosca fortress was originally built for trade with Tesin, but as the old grand duke moved to the north The relationship between the two sides began to deteriorate after Gradually became the lord of the Northern Territory. The founder of the Ke family, the first generation Grand Duke and Guardian of the Northern Territory, directly changed the city of Tosca into the Fortress of Tosca. According to the standard of 100,000 troops stationed all year round, the transformation began.

The ground is a towering city wall.

The underground is a densely packed bunker.

Especially the hidden passage is enough for the cavalry to charge.

Except for the Ke family, no one knows how big the underground of the Tusca Fortress is.

It's like people don't know how strong the Grand Duke's son, Grand Duke Shi Gaozhi is.

Rumor has it that Grand Duke Scrooge has already stood on the top of the kingdom.

It is also said that Grand Duke Scrooge was injured in his early years and lost his chance to stand at the top.

But what is the truth?

Nobody knows.

Because most people have never seen the grand duke make a move—the rise of the grand duke's eldest son, Smrek, has already attracted a lot of attention, and at critical moments, it is the grand duke's eldest son who comes forward.

Because of this, it seems that Grand Duke Scrooge was injured in his early years and lost his chance to stand at the top.

However, Alger Aldridge, the captain of Team 17 of the 'Night Watch', scoffed at this.

How could the guardian of the north, Grand Duke Ke, be knocked down by injuries?

Even if it is affected, it is extremely limited!

Before that, the captain of Team 17 of the 'Night Watchman' firmly believed that even if Grand Duke Scrooge was not as good as himself, he was definitely on the same level.

but now?

"My lord Scrooge, I think we can talk—of course it would be better if you could be a little more calm."

The warrior of the sword in the morning light, the guardian of Hela, Sid and the entire territory of the island of Duo, the "sword master" on the plain of Smog, the liberator of Devil's Island, the uncrowned king of Enzo Mountain, the Hildaks The eternally loyal king, the Marshal of the Second War of the Roses, covered his swollen left eye and sighed helplessly.

Although he was a little psychologically prepared before, it was still a bit difficult to accept when he was really punched in the eye by Grand Duke Scrooge and it was inevitable.

that punch...

hiss!

Damn old bear!

Sure enough, none of the Ke family is normal!

Especially this old bear!

This kind of power has surpassed the secular world!

The corner of Alger Aldrich's mouth twitched when he thought of the unavoidable punch just now.

He can now be sure that Scrooge must be planning some conspiracy.

Otherwise, Tesin would be unable to resist such strength.

That's...

The combat power of one person, one country!

"Sorry, I just received a piece of information and I'm not in a good mood."

Archduke Scrooge held Alger Aldrich aside with a simple but hearty smile.

Inexplicably, the captain of Team 17 of the 'Night Watchman' trembled in his heart.

He eyed the Grand Duke with increasing suspicion.

"Just now there was news from Gegil that Faber sent a branch of the 'Knights of the Rose' to attack him and Goethe..."

"Is Goethe all right?"

Alger Aldrich frowned.

"It's okay, my nephew...behaved quite well!"

As soon as he mentioned his family, Grand Duke Scrooge had a proud smile on his face.

After all, being able to kill a second-tier professional with just one baptism, such a talent is stronger than Simley, especially Goethe only came into contact with [Volibel Breathing Method] a few days ago!

Such talent...

Terrible to the extreme!

But it's enough to make some guys pay attention!

Thinking of this, the Grand Duke added almost subconsciously.

"It didn't disappoint me, and it wasn't in vain that I raised him since childhood."

"Cultivated since childhood?"

"When Goethe was in Lust, did you secretly teach him?"

Alger Aldrich frowned.

This is a bit inconsistent with the information he has collected.

Alger Aldrich still believes in the intelligence department of the 'Keeper of Secrets'.

"Well, it was when I was in Lust!"

"Alger, do you have any questions?"

While saying such words, Archduke Scrooge showed a kind smile to Alger Aldrich—this smile is the same as when the Grand Duke punched the captain of the 17th 'Keeper of Secrets' team in the eyes just now. exactly the same.

No!

Now, even more kindly!

The captain of the 17th team of the "Keeper of Secrets" could already feel the tightening of the palms placed on his shoulders by Grand Duke Scrooge. That force pinched his muscles and bones, rattling.

"No."

Alger Aldridge shook his head with a wry smile.

"That's good!"

"Hahaha!"

Grand Duke Scrooge's clenched palms suddenly let go, and slapped Alger Aldrich's shoulder vigorously. The shoulder that had rattled just now was now rattling.

Laughter covered the sound.

It also concealed Duke Scrooge's killing intent.

Just now, the Grand Duke was planning to kill someone to silence him.

But when he thought of someone in the 'Keeper of Secrets', the Grand Duke temporarily gave up.

So, he chose another safe way.

"Remember what you said!"

"Otherwise, something bad will happen!"

Grand Justice Scrooge looked at Alger Aldrich disdainfully.

And the wry smile on the face of the captain of Team 17 of the "Keeper of Secrets" became more and more intense.

As a third-level swordsman "sword holder", he can clearly feel some slight changes in his body, not the kind of rampant power, but a more delicate and vicious power.

"Your son really looks like you."

Alger Aldrich said so.

At this time, he thought of Gejir and Emlei.

Gergil saw it with his own eyes.

Emlei read it on the information.

Neither of them was as upright as Simlei, the orthodox heir to the north, so much so that he still wondered if something happened to the Ke family, and whether there was any color on the head of the Grand Duke.

But now it seems?

It's exactly the same.

"How can a son not be like Lao Tzu!"

"However, let me correct one point, it should be: the descendants of the Ke family blood, each one is very similar - I, Simlei, Emmlei, Gejir, and Goethe are very similar."

"As for Nina?"

"She is a good child. With our man here, she will grow up happily."

Grand Duke Scrooge let out a hearty laugh again.

Looking at the laughing Grand Duke Scrooge, Alger Aldrich sighed in his heart.

Why is it that a person who looks so bold is so dirty in private.

only……

What is the other party plotting?

The captain of Team 17 of the "Keeper of Secrets" was guessing in his heart, but asked tentatively on the surface.

"So, I want to take Goethe back to Bode, and the plan to receive the core training of 'Secret Keeper' is..."

"If you want to die, I will fulfill you now."

Grand Duke Scrooge looked at Alger Aldrich with a smile, his face remained unchanged, but the murderous intent that had just dissipated in his eyes reappeared.

Moreover, it is stronger than before.

Alger Aldridge felt it, and immediately raised his hands up, signaling himself to give up.

However, his mouth is still talking.

"The 'Keeper of Secrets' will be a piece of pure land!"

"Pure land?"

"Tsk."

Grand Duke Scrooge was very disdainful.

He said—

"When will the captains of the 22 operations of the 'Keeper of Secrets' be able to return to Tesin, instead of taking turns stationing in the secret places 'Fairy Lake' and 'Dragon Island' controlled by the royal family of Tesin, tell me about the so-called pure land again! "

"Do you really think it's to deal with the 'disaster' when the secret realm appears?"

"That guy...heh, he's just an old bastard."

"Of course, even the old bastard is much better than Woodrow, so you can continue to stand here and talk to me."

Alger Aldrich frowned.

Woodrow should refer to Woodrow Modeus George, that is, George VI.

Alger Aldrich has seen this His Majesty the King more than once.

Even, in a way, familiar.

He envied the other party's leisurely attitude towards life.

However, in the mouth of Grand Duke Scrooge, this His Majesty the King seems to be very simple?

"Go back and ask that old bastard about these things!"

"If he is willing to tell you, you will know."

"If you don't want to tell you, you can't know."

"but me?"

"Enough told you!"

"So, I think you should do me a favor!"

Grand Duke Scrooge looked at Alger Aldrich with a smile again.

"What's busy?"

The captain of Team 17 of the "Keeper of Secrets" had a bad feeling in his heart.

"A little busy! Just a little busy!"

Grand Duke Scrooge said, and punched him.

This punch was unpleasant and even soft.

However, Alger Aldridge didn't dare to be careless, he was on guard all over, and the sword energy filled with the breath of morning light filled the air, and then... the Grand Duke put away his fists, and continued to smile: "Okay."

Alger Aldridge was taken aback.

Then, the captain of Team 17 of the 'Keeper of Secrets' thought of something.

Suddenly, his face changed drastically.

"you……"

"It's just what you think it is!"

Grand Duke Scrooge interrupted Alger Aldrich's words, and smiled again under the horrified eyes of the other party.

"So, I would like to ask you to stay with me for a while longer."

"It won't be long, maybe a day or two."

"Even shorter."

Grand Duke Scrooge said.

"Why?"

Alger Aldrich was completely puzzled.

It has been hidden for so long, why should it be exposed suddenly?

Could it be that what was plotted, what was planned, has been accomplished?

Grand Duke Scrooge would not tell him, of course.

Not so long ago.

Even though he was only a warrior of the third-level "Hellblood", he suddenly completed the advancement, and stepped into the level of the fourth-level "Fearless" in one step-the materials he prepared for Simlei were also consumed. .

The whole process was in a trance.

Even the voice of his dead wife appeared in his ear.

He kept telling his dead wife about his missing and the growth of his children.

Then, when everything was normal, he found that he had been promoted to the fourth rank.

Kind of weird.

Grand Duke Scrooge didn't know if it was an epiphany or what, but the Grand Duke did.

He is finally qualified to sit opposite George VI.
