Calamity Crown

During the dinner at Bear Castle in the evening, the Grand Duke knew about Goethe's plan.

At that time, the Grand Duke was stunned for about a second, and then he sighed.

"The bloodline is so wonderful!"

At this moment, the Grand Duke's mind was filled with the rumors about the Steinbeck family's "wealth"—only people with the blood of the Steinbeck family would come up with such a plan.

but……

Even if Goethe has the blood of the Steinbeck family, so what?

At the end of the day, he's still a Crocker.

Therefore, the Grand Duke unconditionally supports Goethe.

"Hurry up and make arrangements."

"Attention to detail."

"Some guys should be able to make things happen."

The Grand Duke lowered his voice and told his eldest son.

Some guys just won't give up.

It's not about strength.

Just because of the greed and covetousness in people's hearts.

Especially when he was suddenly promoted to legend, although he didn't disclose the news clearly, some vague guesses would definitely make Tesin's royal family jealous, so they sent spies.

Even at this moment, the royal family of Tesin has already started internal fighting.

"Yes, father!"

Smlik nodded, and walked straight through the noisy crowd - as the eldest son in the family, when his father couldn't get away, he needed to take care of some affairs.

At the gate of Bear Castle, Smreck stopped in his tracks.

The eldest son of the Grand Duke turned his head and looked at the banquet where thousands of people had gathered. He looked at Goethe, Emleck, and Gegil who walked out of the corridor of the inner castle and walked towards his father, and looked at the bear who raised his glass Fort people, on that serious face, the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned.

Why does he like the North?

Because, his family is in the north.

Why does he like the North?

Because people in the north like his family.

The Grand Duke's eldest son turned around and disappeared into the night.

The atmosphere of the banquet did not become colder because of the departure of the Grand Duke's eldest son, but became more enthusiastic.

Because Goethe stood beside the Grand Duke.

At the banquet, all eyes were on Goethe.

With the grand duke's spare no efforts in propagandizing, all the people in the north knew that Goethe, the grand duke's nephew, was going to challenge the strong men from all over the world.

Naturally, people became curious about Goethe.

At this moment, it would be great to be able to get in close contact.

Therefore, when the Grand Duke led Goethe to the center of the banquet, the eyes of all the people present moved accordingly.

"This is my nephew, Goethe Wayne!"

"A great lad!"

"Everyone remember him, he will definitely bring prosperity to the northern border!"

"Gudong Gudong!"

When the Grand Duke pointed to Goethe, it was a simple introduction.

People in the north don't like long speeches, they prefer to be straightforward - this is caused by the special environment in the north, after all, no one wants to chat in the ice and snow.

unless……

There is wine!

And when there is wine in the warm castle, it would be great.

Goethe glanced at the guests present and looked at the curious eyes of the guests. Without saying a word, he directly picked up the wine barrel on the side, uncorked it, and gulped it down with a very bold gesture.

The eyes of all the guests present lit up.

People from the north, the politeness is all empty, let's have a drink first and then talk about other things.

"cheers!"

"Welcome Master Goethe!"

"cheers!"

"I wish Master Goethe all the best!"

As Goethe drank a bucket of wine, the atmosphere at the banquet immediately reached its peak, and people began to raise their glasses high, one by one, draining all the wine in their glasses.

When a portion of barbecue was served, many people at the banquet were already blushing.

because……

Goethe drank three barrels.

This is a habit from "hometown".

Either don't drink, or drink three first, and then move your chopsticks.

Of course, back in his hometown, Goethe used cups.

Buckets are used here.

And what about the northerners?

Facing such a bold Goethe, it is natural to retaliate. This is not a rule, but they think it should be done, so they do it.

Then, it became like this.

Some people have hugged the people around them and started talking nonsense.

Of course, some people are really confused.

Some people take the opportunity to be confused.

People, sometimes the skin is really thin.

Goethe saw it, and he decided to help these people.

So, he picked up the fourth barrel of wine.

boom!

The atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak, and everyone cheered and applauded loudly.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Grand Duke laughed out loud as he watched the lively banquet scene.

Emlei Ke and Gejir on the side looked at Goethe who picked up another barrel of wine, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

"Is this 'wine barrel'?"

"Um."

"It's really a 'barrel'!"

"The wine barrel in the hand of 'Wine Barrel' can't be water?"

"Certainly not."

As a professional with extraordinary strength, it is natural to be able to drink better than ordinary people, but there is a limit to how much you can drink. Even a first- and second-tier professional will get drunk with the drinking method like Goethe.

Tier 3 professionals are estimated to be able to last a little longer.

As for legendary professionals?

The two brothers unconsciously looked at their father.

Coincidentally, at this time, the Grand Duke also looked at the two of them.

The Grand Duke raised his hand and threw two wine barrels weighing 10 catties to the two of them.

"Go learn from Goethe and toast everyone."

The Grand Duke said so.

In fact, I felt sorry for my nephew, and was afraid that I would drink too much.

"Father, I'm still injured. I think it's better for Emlei to replace me."

Gejir said righteously.

On the side, Emlei Kema's face was ashen.

Because, the grand duke's second son had already seen his father nodding.

"Well, yes, if Gejir is injured, eat more meat."

"Emle, go to toast."

"Gejir give Emlei your wine."

The Grand Duke ordered.

Gejir handed the wine to Emlei Ke with a smile.

"Thank you, brother."

"It's not hard, I should, my good brother."

Emlei Ke gritted his teeth and said.

The second son of the Grand Duke is not afraid of drinking. As a native of the northern border, how could he be afraid of drinking?

His expression was only because he had an appointment at night—it was a rare trip back to Bear Castle, how could there be no 'Little Prince of the Club' in the club of Bear Castle?

In fact, the Grand Duke's second son had already contacted him when he arrived at Bear Castle today.

His plan was to have an open party after the banquet.

And now?

Obviously it's impossible.

Looking at Gejir's smiling face, Emlei K knew that the other party did it on purpose.

The other party must know what he was going to do, so he did it on purpose.

Facing Emlei Ke's 'fierce' gaze, Gejir's face remained normal.

"Brother, don't think too much, I... just did it on purpose."

A smirk appeared on Gejill's face.

"You wait for me."

Emlei Ke walked to the middle of the banquet hall with two barrels of wine, replacing Goethe as the core of the venue for the time being, and having already drank 4 barrels of wine, even Goethe, whose [body] is 20 times + ordinary people, would not It's already vain.

However, you can still go in a straight line.

Gejill leaned on crutches and helped Goethe to sit down safely.

"Hahaha, how do you feel?"

"Very well, I have never felt this way before."

Goethe said with a smile, with alcohol dizziness appearing on his face.

He, who had been tense all the time, was relaxed at this moment.

Not just because of the alcohol.

Also because Goethe knew that the Grand Duke was there, he was safe.

The Grand Duke smiled even more happily.

He felt his nephew's dependence on him.

As an elder, he is proud.

"Young people should relax!"

"I have to eat meat later!"

The Grand Duke said and patted Goethe on the shoulder vigorously.

Immediately, the blood in Goethe's body began to oscillate.

In an instant, the wine that had just been drunk quickly turned into steam and was discharged from Goethe's pores.

Goethe's eyes immediately regained clarity.

"Um?"

Goethe was taken aback.

"After becoming a legendary professional, there are more ways to apply the blood of 'warrior'."

The Grand Duke explained with a smile.

"How about a legendary professional?"

Goethe was very curious.

Goethe has an instinctive pursuit of gaining great strength.

Even though the Ke family gave him a sense of security and comfort, Goethe still wanted stronger strength.

Because, the Ke family is not without enemies.

He hopes that when something unexpected happens, he can stand up.

"It's just very strong."

"A qualitative change is like completing three baptisms and stepping into a first-level professional—I feel that the current me can crush the previous me to death with one hand."

"Facing three or five extreme third-tier professionals, I can easily win."

"Not only my body has become stronger, but also my mind has become clearer, and all the things from a long time ago are also recalled."

"There is also the ability that I have mastered before, which has been enhanced again, it is the kind of cross-level enhancement."

Facing his nephew's question, the Grand Duke didn't hide anything, he talked about his most direct experience.

"Qualitative change?"

"An all-round enhancement?"

"And, after three baptisms, you will become a first-tier professional."

"A third-tier professional will become a legendary professional again."

"Is it still three times after that?"

Goethe continued to ask.

"have no idea!"

The Grand Duke shook his head very simply this time.

"The inheritance of our Ke family has only reached legend, after that... it's gone!"

"The Ke family only started from my father, not my grandfather, that is, your great-grandfather. It's only a hundred years old. Even if it inherits the legacy of its ancestors, compared with those real thousand-year-old families, the foundation is too weak."

"After all, even our ancestors are just 'young people' compared to those families!"

"However, precisely because of this, we should work harder to create better conditions for our descendants."

"At least, they won't be bullied and calculated."

The Grand Duke obviously thought of George VI, and his eyes were full of fear.

But then, the grand duke laughed.

Not because George VI is dead.

Instead, he expected George VI to live.

It is also certain that the other party is alive.

It's not the joy of having one more opponent.

The Grand Duke doesn't have such unpopular preferences.

Threatening family members for the pleasure of a rival?

In the eyes of the Grand Duke, this is a disease, and he recommends humane destruction.

The reason why the Grand Duke will laugh is because as long as George VI is still alive, he will definitely seek opportunities to step into the legend, and he will definitely look for the legend-compared to the legacy left by the ancestors in Bear Castle, staying in Tess Because of the royal family more.

Therefore, he just needs to follow the other party.

The Ke family needs that opportunity to step into the legend.

The Ke family also needs to look for opportunities above the legend.

However, that is later.

More important now is the involvement of the Steinbeck family and his nephew.

Thinking of this, the Grand Duke beckoned to Goethe, and in a very low voice, he told about the Anke and Steinbeck families in Bear Castle in the afternoon, as well as the captain of the 'Keeper of the Secret' 22 team Simek Zorlens outside Bear Castle. He told Goethe everything in detail.

"Skeffins Steinbeck!"

Goethe squinted his eyes and said the name with vigilance in his eyes.

The other party impressed Goethe very deeply.

It was so deep that Goethe's scalp tingled when he thought of the other party.

Because, from the beginning to the end, Goethe couldn't figure out the real purpose of the other party.

It's like being in Lust.

Even at the last moment, the other party confessed his purpose, but Goethe still believed that the other party had a deeper purpose—there was no evidence, just intuition.

This feeling is really terrible.

Worse, the feeling may be true.

"Judging from the reaction of Captain Simic Zuolens, the 'Fairy Lake' and 'Dragon Island' should have really undergone a change, that is... the world downgrading!"

"If the world is downgraded, terrible things will happen."

"Leaving would be the best choice."

"but……"

"You can also extract chestnuts from the fire!"

"Example: 'door'!"

World upgrade has 'world power'!

There should be a world downgrade.

Even, maybe more.

As long as you can participate in it and get rid of its influence, it will be a perfect harvest.

And Skiffins Steinbeck happens to have the ability to enter.

The opponent has a 'door' in Lust!

Completed the ability to enter and exit the 'secret realm' at will!

Although according to the other party, there are still a few steps to go, but who can guarantee that the other party is not lying?

Just like what the other party said, "Your mother's ancestor, His Majesty the 'Mad King' has recorded in his notes, made the 'Secret Realm' his own, no longer worry about disasters, no longer worry about danger"—— What if it is also confusing?

The real 'door', in case it really is to enter and exit the 'secret realm' at will!

Instead of turning the 'secret realm' into your own?

What kind of lie is the most believable?

Naturally, 90% is true and 100% is false.

Really, he knew all about it.

False, let him think it is.

"Skiffins Steinbeck should have thought that I had mastered the secret of the 'Mad King's Legacy' at the time, so he deliberately said that sentence to mislead me, making me think that the other party just mastered the low-profile and incomplete version The 'Mad King's Legacy' made me feel contemptuous, but in fact, it was a dark secret to accomplish the real goal—to harvest the power of the world after the 'secret realm' has been degraded!"

"So……"

"Does the other party know the real function of the 'Mad King's Ring'?"

Goethe sat there thinking.

Soon, Goethe came to the answer.

have no idea!

If the other party knew the true function of the 'Mad King's Ring', they would not have laid out the way they did in Lust. It would definitely be a 'take-all' situation, rather than a 'retreat' with ease.

At the same time, Goethe also deduced some information about the 'gate'.

The 'door' should be able to enter and exit the secret realm at will, but there must be conditions.

For example: There cannot be too many people from the 'Anchor World' in the 'Secret Realm' to be entered by the 'Door'.

For example: the 'door' should not be able to perceive the 'secret realm' in the 'Mad King's Ring'.

Otherwise, the other party would not have sent their guardian knights at all, revealing a lot of information. Based on the other party's behavior, they would definitely hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity.

Just like in Lust.

As for how the other party should abandon the influence?

Goethe didn't know for a while.

But it is certain that the other party must have a way.

"Headache guy!"

Goethe whispered to himself.

"The guy from the Steinbeck family?"

"Goethe, you must be vigilant!"

"That guy sent his guardian knight to me and made an oath to win my trust, but a real guardian knight is willing to give everything for his master."

"Including but not limited to life, honor, etc."

"So, among the people who came from Faber this time, there must be someone who is doing something."

The Grand Duke reminded Goethe.

When he met Angke, the Grand Duke guessed Skiffins Steinbeck's thoughts.

It's not that the Grand Duke anticipates the enemy's opportunity.

but...

George VI did just that.

"Um."

Goethe nodded solemnly, looking at the Grand Duke with gratitude.

He was well aware of the Grand Duke's support for him.

Without the support of the Grand Duke, it would be impossible for him to carry out such a plan.

The Grand Duke patted Goethe on the shoulder again.

"We are family."

"Go!"

"The real banquet has just begun!"

The Grand Duke pointed to the dishes brought by the guests.

At the Bear Castle banquet, although the Grand Duke will provide barbecue, the northerners are not the kind of people who eat other people's food for free. They will also bring their own dishes.

Naturally, they are all specialty dishes.

For example: stuffed clams!

The clams salvaged from the inland sea are filled with beef mince and steamed in a steamer. After the beef mince mixed with black pepper and the clam meat are fused together, it is fresh and tender with a hint of refreshing taste, and the meat is thick and seafood. The delicious taste makes people can't help but praise it.

Goethe ate a plate straight away.

The residents of Bear Castle who brought stuffed clams were not at all annoyed, but looked around triumphantly.

Food can be appreciated by the lord, which is an honor to the banquet attendees.

Even if Goethe didn't speak, the clean plates already said it all.

Facing the bragging of friends and neighbors, more residents of Bear Castle brought their specialty dishes to Goethe.

Goethe never refuses anyone, taste them one by one.

Although there are high and low points, they are all good.

Everyone is paying attention.

In particular, the shrimp and egg stew served by an aunt surprised Goethe even more.

That's food in a small bowl.

Put a whole shrimp with its head removed into the whole egg, and pour hot oil directly on it. Amidst the sound of sizzling, the aroma of the oil comes out, and the emerald green onion rolls on it, and the shrimp turns instantly. The eggs are bright red, while the eggs are golden and silver.

Just looking at it whets the appetite.

Goethe took the spoon and took a bite.

The unique fragrance of the eggs and the deliciousness of the prawns make people feel comfortable under the background of chopped green onions, but what surprised Goethe most is that there is a hint of spiciness in it.

It's not too spicy, it's a bit like pepper, but it's not like it.

"Is it oil?"

“Just hot fried chili!”

Goethe's eyes lit up.

He raised his hand to grab a shrimp egg stew.

There were ten bowls of shrimp and egg stew, but when Goethe went to get it, there were already eight bowls left.

And a bowl of...

She was picked up by Shira.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Goethe made a sound in surprise, and raised his hand to shake Xila's wrist, causing the bowl of shrimp and egg stew to freeze in mid-air.

"Wake up, hungry."

"It's mine!"

Sheila said loudly.

Then, with lightning speed, aimed at the bowl in his hand——

Pooh!

"How about it?"

"Am I learning fast?"

Sheila let go of her hand triumphantly.

"Well, it's very fast."

"However, I didn't learn the essence!"

"Essence?"

Sheila frowned.

Goethe struck quickly—

Pooh! X9

The eight bowls of shrimp and egg stew on the table, as well as the shrimp and egg stew in hand, were all polluted by Goethe.

Then, Goethe gently placed the shrimp and egg stew in front of Shira.

"Eat, I just woke up and I'm really hungry, and I need to replenish my energy."

"Don't waste food!"

As Goethe said, he picked up a spoon and ate the remaining eight bowls of shrimp and egg stew slowly.

Sheila stared at the shrimp and egg stew in front of her, her face changed again and again, she picked up and put down the spoon.

Finally, as soon as Shila gritted her teeth, she wanted to pick up the shrimp eggs.

But Goethe picked it up first.

"It's useless to give you a chance!"

Goethe picked up the last bowl of shrimp and egg stew and ate it without any psychological burden.

Sheila stared blankly.

His face flushed instantly.

"You you you... I, I, I..."

Shila, who was talking incoherently, covered her face and turned around and ran. When she was about to enter the corridor of the inner castle, she didn't forget to pick up the roast leg of lamb on the table beside her—she was really hungry.

She felt like she could eat a cow.

Therefore, the roast leg of lamb in your hand is like stuffing your teeth.

Relying on her sharpened nose, Sheila easily found Bearburg's kitchen.

Plenty of roasts appear here.

Of course, there are more booze.

Cooks, cooks, and servants were busy.

Everyone was sweating profusely, but with a smile on their faces. When they saw Sheila, they kindly motioned for Sheila to take the food at will. First, the food tonight is open for supply. Second,... ...Sheila is good-looking.

"Thanks."

After Xila thanked politely, she picked up half of the roast cow and walked aside.

She didn't drink alcohol.

The teacher once told her that girls should not drink alcohol.

But not all girls are like that.

In the corner, a lady wearing a long white dress with a good-looking face and elegant temperament was holding a glass of wine brought from the banquet hall. The other party saw the conspicuous Xila.

First, I was surprised by Shira's appearance.

Then, after seeing Sheila eating meat, she dismissed it.

"Northern people are really rude."

"The brewed wine is the same. It's as bad as horse urine."

The voice was soft, but the content made Shira feel unhappy.

He obviously drank other people's wine and still said it was not good.

What a faux pas!

Immediately, Sheila was about to scold the other party, but a hand fell on the top of Sheila's head, and she was pulled behind her. Sheila originally wanted to resist, but after smelling the familiar smell, she didn't Move again.

Just as he continued to eat the roast beef, he watched Goethe smile at the lady opposite, and asked in a gentle voice——

"You actually know the smell of horse urine? You must be drinking it often. No wonder you can't get used to the wine in Bear Castle. To some extent... you are really amazing!"

PS Fat Dragon overslept again, alas...
