Calamity Crown

The flames rolled, and the earth was scorched like magma.

But the 'lord' ignored the high temperature, as if he was taking a bath, he stood in the magma, and showed a murderous smile to the dragon above his head.

dragon?

It's not like he didn't kill.

"drink!"

With a roar, the 'Lord' jumped straight out of the magma.

The scarlet light surging from his body made Goethe in the distance frown.

Prison blood!

【warrior】!

Goethe's eyes sparkled!

He can be sure that what he saw was the [Prison Blood] of the fighter profession [Prison Blood Warrior].

The 'lord' is a fighter professional!

Goethe frowned when he got this answer.

On the contrary, the wrinkle is tighter.

Because, according to the norm, this level of [Prison Blood] should be above the legendary profession [Fearless].

Simply put, it is a titled legend.

However, shouldn't the warrior profession above legend be in the 'Levin Islands'?

Goethe believed, the diary of the 'Mad King'.

Most of the time, the 'Mad King' is unreliable, but the records in the diary should be reliable.

That……

What happened to the 'Lord'?

Goethe was more and more puzzled.

"Is it weird?"

"Nothing surprising!"

"The reason why the 'lord' was able to rise is precisely because he obtained a part of Modeus' inheritance—or in other words, he is a thief + robber!"

Skiffins Steinbeck, who said he would come back at dawn, suddenly appeared beside Goethe, and commented in a rather disdainful tone,

Goethe didn't speak.

He quietly listened to Skiffins Steinbeck telling the secret about 'them'.

"'Lord', the original servant of Modeus, should be the third? Or the fourth servant."

"On the eve of the first decisive battle, I stole Modeus' research materials on the 'New Road', and blamed that poor first male servant."

"Then at the end of the second decisive battle, they snatched the power seed left by Modeus to the first servant."

"Otherwise it's up to him?"

Skiffins Steinbeck became even more mocking.

"First manservant?"

Goethe took a little interest in the first manservant.

On the eve of the first decisive battle, the 'Mad King' was a little suspicious.

And after the failure of the first decisive battle, the 'Mad King' was basically in a half-mad state.

But under such circumstances, the Mad King is still willing to believe in a servant who 'betrayed' him, then... this servant must be extraordinary and special.

Skiffens Steinbeck's taunt is gone.

Only self-deprecating was left.

His voice deepened.

"Yes, first manservant."

"Grant Steinbeck."

"Grant Steinbeck, 'Coward'?"

Goethe was taken aback.

He clearly remembered the 'Coward' Grant Steinbeck, who was frightened to death by a clown six hundred and sixty-six years ago, and he had an accurate record in [Predator's Libra].

Afterwards, Goethe frowned.

He remembered that Skiffins Steinbeck told him about the "reality" of the world before him.

Construction of projection and sand.

He should bear in mind such an important matter.

Why?

If you are not reminded, you will be forgotten.

"Are you aware?"

Skiffins Steinbeck laughed. The heir of the Steinbeck family looked at his younger brother with a rare warmth on his face, and his tone became even softer: "This is the horror of this world. I have told others what I saw more than once, but every time it will be forgotten, and even when I remind it again, I will show the expression I heard for the first time."

"In this world, only I see the truth."

"and……"

"Before I got the [Predator's Scale], it was still eroding me-Goethe, have you ever thought that I used to have six eyes?"

Skiffins Steinbeck tapped lightly on his left and right forehead and left and right cheeks, indicating where the other two pairs of eyes used to grow.

"Is it ugly?"

"Not ugly."

"It's just a little painful - because there are many mouths full of sharp teeth on my internal organs, and they keep devouring my flesh and blood."

"call."

"It was a really hard time."

Skiffins Steinbeck sighed.

The tone was very similar to a high school student on summer vacation who received an invitation from his first love goddess to go swimming, but suddenly found that there were ninety-nine other boys who were more handsome and stronger than him.

Feeling is an understatement.

In fact, he vomited blood.

"Would that change happen to me?"

Goethe recalled "the world is real" and asked after confirming that he had memorized it.

"Won't."

"Its eyes are still looking at me."

"You are by my side, you will only be blocked by me."

"After all, I'm an elder brother. When you hide under my wings, you should naturally."

As he spoke, Skiffins Steinbeck looked at Goethe and smiled.

Goethe felt sincerity in this smile.

no offence.

No ulterior motives either.

Just be sincere.

Skiffins Steinbeck tried hard to be an older brother in his own way—unfortunately, this way is fatal to most people.

Goethe couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Since Skiffins Steinbeck wants to be an older brother.

He gave the other party this chance.

Therefore, he wants to show his 'willfulness'.

"Someone said before, come back about seven."

"It's only three o'clock now."

"Ah."

"As a parent, I have the right to make a surprise inspection - my younger brother who has not really grown up, staying up until three o'clock will give me a headache."

Skiffins Steinbeck chuckled.

"Blame me?"

Goethe raised his chin, indicating the battle in the distance.

"No wonder!"

Skiffins Steinbeck said very affirmatively, the heir of the Steinbeck family, said as if teaching and talking to himself: "In this harsh environment, no one can sleep peacefully, Goethe is like this, wait This is especially the case with the long-awaited Fabol VII, our Majesty, he has waited too long."

"His greatest strength is forbearance."

"He can endure everything that ordinary people can't bear."

"Even if you get peed all over your face, you can keep smiling and taste it."

"However, he endured it for too long, and when he gained enough strength, he became abnormal."

"Why do you think he made the move now?"

Facing Skiffins Steinbeck's question, Goethe pondered for a moment.

"Wait for 'them' internal strife, choose the best time, and then, by the way, clean up Sak's people who he doesn't like but can't get rid of directly... Wait!"

"Waiting for Faber VII?"

"Do you cooperate with him?"

Goethe reacted as he spoke.

"certainly!"

"I have many collaborators!"

"Several of 'them', Fabol VII, the royal family of Ludez, the royal family of Yatuk, the royal family of Lidar, and... the sea!"

Skiffins Steinbeck said with a smile.

Then, the heir to the Steinbeck family once again vomited bitterness to Goethe.

"Goethe, do you know?"

"How much energy does it take to bring these idiots together?"

"Especially some idiots are extremely greedy."

"Compared to these stupid guys, Beidi surprised me the most—that Grand Duke Scrooge is really admirable, and his tenacity is really terrifying."

"I didn't directly mention the 'truth of the world', he just relied on some clues left by me to know the 'truth of the world'."

"Then?"

When Skiffins Steinbeck saw the concern on Goethe's face, he couldn't help but lengthen his tone.

"Then what?"

Goethe asked urgently. .

"Of course it's fine."

"I said 'the truth of the world' has been watching me."

"And Archduke Scrooge's willpower is strong enough."

"Hey, is it true that the Northland is more important to you?"

Skiffins Steinbeck expressed his dissatisfaction.

The heir to the Steinbeck family thought he was closer to the Goethe blood.

Goethe sensed this dissatisfaction.

However, he did not hide it.

Not to mention any excuses.

"Um."

"They treated me like family."

"The Northland is my second home."

Goethe said truthfully.

"Home?"

"family?"

Skiffins Steinbeck was talking to himself, and then laughed again.

He has family.

There is also a home.

It didn't exist before, but now it does.

Goethe was his family.

Home is where Goethe is.

Thinking of this, the heir of the Steinbeck family didn't stay any longer, he said: "Once an individual becomes a member of a group, he will no longer take responsibility for his actions. At this time, everyone will reveal that they are not restrained. On the other hand, what the group pursues and believes is never the truth and rationality, but blind obedience, cruelty, paranoia and fanaticism. They only know how to use simple and extreme emotions to satisfy themselves——When Sak’s ordinary people are bewitched by “Ms.” Such.

This is how the guy in 'them' who was bewitched by me was like this.

So, Goethe, you have to remember——

Family or something doesn't matter.

Solitude makes you calmer.

By the way, there is one more thing.

It's time for us to part.

You stay here.

don't follow.

If you dare to follow...

Kill you. "

Skiffins Steinbeck said with a smile on his face again, but this kind of smile didn't have any warmth, it was only cold and ferocious.

The heir of the Steinbeck family walked towards the battlefield.

At this time, the 'lord' and Fabol VII were already scarred.

'Lord' lost his left arm.

Fabol VII, who was transformed into a dragon, had one wing broken off and could no longer fly.

However, the two sides did not stop because of injuries.

Instead, the two sides fought in a more exaggerated manner.

Ignore defense!

Just attack!

once!

ten times!

A hundred times!

Blood scattered.

Never took a step back.

The 'Lady' quickly retreated with the body of the 'Snake', but was obviously a step behind George VI who was fleeing with the 'Lumberjack' on his back, and the two were affected.

Scarlet Qimang.

Searing flames.

Let the 'Madam' let out a scream, and no longer cared about the 'Snake' corpse, she was about to retreat quickly, but the 'Snake' who was the corpse grabbed the 'Madam'.

Not only did he grab it, but he threw it back.

Borrowing the reaction force, the 'snake' rushed forward.

"Ahhhh!"

'Lady' screamed amidst the scarlet and flames.

The 'snake' didn't care about it, and crawled on the ground, running away like a snake.

Then--

'Snake' saw a pair of boots.

It was Skiffins Steinbeck.

"This way of escaping is not gentlemanly enough."

Saying such words, Skiffins Steinbeck kicked the 'Snake' back.

In the crimson and flames, the 'snake' howled and became mutilated.

At the same time, the Lord and Fabol VII stopped.

The panting two looked at Skiffins Steinbeck.

"Good evening, my lord, Your Majesty the King."

Skiffins Steinbeck bowed, put one hand on his chest, and saluted slightly.

The smile on the face, the etiquette on the body.

Meticulous.

Personable.

Even the harshest court etiquette officer couldn't find the slightest flaw in it, and all that was left was praise.

But the countenances of the 'lord' and Fabol VII changed.

"You did all this?"

The 'lord' asked.

The 'lord' has never met Skiffins Steinbeck in a real sense, but the appearance of Skiffins Steinbeck at this time is enough to explain many problems.

What's more, he just saw the 'Hunter' running away with the 'Lumberjack', and the 'Lady' running away with the 'Snake'.

The former can be said to have a good friendship.

the latter?

Cooperation under apparent hostility.

That's not what friendship can explain.

There must be an ulterior secret.

And as it happens, the 'lady' mentioned Skiffins Steinbeck.

That said, that's a guy to take advantage of.

Everything flashed through the mind of the 'Lord'.

Fabol VII, on the other hand, was much simpler.

"Porti?!"

Fabol VII drank the name of his former court official.

Skiffins Steinbeck bowed again.

"It's my Majesty."

The calm appearance of the heir of the Steinbeck family made Faber VII laugh angrily.

"From the rebellion of the Tulip family uniting the other four families last time, to the destruction of Sac, it's all your work, right?"

Faber VII sounded suspicious, but he was very sure.

But Skiffins Steinbeck shook his head very simply this time.

"I'm just threading a needle."

"It is still Your Majesty and those Your Excellencies who have really done all this."

"And now?"

"Your Majesty, are you going to put all the blame on me?"

Skiffins Steinbeck's tone was full of indignation.

But then he laughed.

"Right."

"It's your style."

"It's also your best choice--the matter has become so big, it naturally needs a guy who takes the blame, and besides me, there is no other suitable person."

"snort!"

Fabol VII, whose mind had been exposed, didn't say much, just snorted coldly, changed from the appearance of a giant dragon to the appearance of a dragon man, and the erect red-gold pupils reflected Skiffins Steinbeck's Looking at the figure, he grinned, showing his ferocious teeth: "Do you think you are sure of winning now? Your Excellency, Lord, it seems that we have been underestimated."

The 'lord' immediately felt Fabol VII's kindness.

At the same time, he understood the thoughts of Fabol VII.

Immediately, the 'lord' said.

"Yeah, we were underestimated."

"Why don't we kill this guy first, and then we'll win?"

"certainly!"

Fabol VII nodded immediately.

Facing the combination of the two, Skiffins Steinbeck kept his smile unchanged, but waved his hands again and again. He stepped back and said, "I dare not underestimate the two of you anyway, so I carefully prepared a fan."

As he spoke, he raised his hand.

hum!

The flesh-and-blood gate appeared out of thin air.

A figure appeared in it.

"'Angler'!"

The 'lord''s expression froze.

However, King George VI, who was carrying the 'lumberjack' and escaped, changed his face, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he exclaimed——

"The Captain of Team Zero, Auburn Seth?!"
