Calamity Crown

Chapter 376: The First Trap!

With the flickering of the [Eye of Fairness and Truth], Skiffins Steinbeck 'saw' the secret he wanted to see.

"It turned out to be like this..."

"He's even bigger than I thought."

The words were full of admiration, and there was undisguised admiration in the eyes.

The 'fisherman' turned cold.

"I thought you were a wise man."

The Angler glanced at [Eye of Fairness and Truth].

There is no doubt that the 'fisherman' recognizes this item.

When the 'bartender' obtained this item, he didn't hide it, and told the 'fisherman' and 'lord' in a very calm way, and then told the 'lady' in a more tactful way.

Why not hide?

Because, the 'bartender' doesn't want to die.

Any concealment can be taken for granted among other members of 'them'.

But when facing the 'fisherman', 'lord' and 'lady'.

It's best to stay calm.

At least, keep calm to one person.

And the 'bartender' chose to remain calm to the three of them at the same time.

Doing so is both smart and stupid.

at the same time……

It is also fatal.

In Skiffins Steinbeck's "collaborators", the "fisherman", "lord", and "lady" all expressed their dissatisfaction and murderous intent towards the "bartender".

"I try to look smart because that's what convinces people of me."

"But……"

"Sometimes, I really can't restrain my curiosity."

Skiffins Steinbeck sighed and bowed apologetically to the 'Angler' again.

"Curiosity will kill the cat."

'The Angler' said coldly.

"certainly."

"However, please consider whether to kill me after I 'complete' the [Eye of Fairness] transaction."

Skiffins Steinbeck looked at the Angler pleadingly.

'The Angler' remained silent.

If you don't act immediately, it means consent.

In this regard, Skiffins. Steinbeck is not surprised.

For the 'fisherman', the chances of winning are already in their hands.

Peeped into a new realm.

After getting that secret.

The 'fisherman' has already surpassed the 'world' in front of him.

And this is exactly what Skiffins Steinbeck wanted.

Before.

Now.

Both are.

And the future?

Skiffins Steinbeck held it tightly. He took a deep breath and said——

"I am a 'replicant' of the Steinbeck family."

"clone?"

The 'fisherman' was taken aback.

Obviously, even though he has reached the number one position in the world, the 'fisherman' is still not omniscient.

It's not just that they don't know the secret.

I don't even know anything about the so-called 'replicants'.

"The Steinbeck family is a 'cursed' family."

"In order for the family to continue, the family has tried various methods, including the 'forbidden power' to cultivate new life with the blood of the most outstanding members of the family."

"At that time, about 2,000 people were cultivated."

"More than half, at birth, die."

"Most of the rest died at the age of 1-3."

"I died at the age of seven."

"At that time, I thought that if I die, I will die. After all, I have nothing, no parents, no brothers and sisters, and no future."

"Then, my brother Skiffins Steinbeck resurrected me."

"He used his own flesh and blood to prevent my backlash."

"With the power of 'luck', this stop was completed."

"I survived."

"My brother is seriously ill."

"My brother said that this kind of disease is one of the manifestations of the 'curse' of the Steinbeck family. I don't need to blame myself and I don't need to find a cure, because there is no one."

"In the following four years, my brother began to teach me severely."

"He wanted me to master more."

"Four years later, on the morning before his death, my brother made two nougats, one for him and one for me—mine was sweet, his was poisonous."

"He must die."

"Otherwise it will implicate me."

"I'm curious what the involvement is."

"So, I see a glimmer of 'truth.'"

Skiffins Steinbeck spoke flatly.

The 'fisherman' frowned.

It is not doubting the authenticity of Skiffins Steinbeck's words.

It's that Skiffins Steinbeck talks too much.

Far beyond the [Eye of Fair Reality] one-for-one limit.

The 'fisherman' was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted.

"You not only saw one of my secrets?!"

'Angleman''s voice became high-pitched.

Skiffins Steinbeck nodded with a smile.

"certainly!"

"I finally found such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Naturally, I want to see more—after all, I am so curious, not only curious about the reality of the world, but also curious about the events of the past, and also curious..."

"Your power."

Snapped!

Before Skiffins Steinbeck finished speaking, there was a crisp sound in the air.

Skiffins Steinbeck was like a baseball that was thrown hundreds of meters away. All the houses and walls along the way were pierced, bringing up smoke and dust, and finally fell into a building.

Crash!

Rubble poured down.

The building collapsed directly, burying Skiffins Steinbeck.

And the 'fisherman' didn't even look here.

His gaze turned to the shadow on one side.

"well."

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you."

The figure of Skiffins Steinbeck stepped out of the shadows.

A small piece of his little finger was missing.

"Severe fingers to survive."

The expression of the'fisherman' became more and more cold.

This is the secret technique of 'Dove'.

There is no real attack and defense capabilities.

But life-saving comes first.

"You killed 'Dove'?"

'The Angler' asked.

"No."

"Your Excellency 'Pigeon' and Your Excellency 'Counseling' are very easy to negotiate with. I just completed a deal with them, and they are willing to tell me some things, including not limited to secret arts."

"It just so happens that I'm still a talented person."

"Although the time is a bit short, I have only reached the entry level, but it is enough to deal with the current situation."

Skiffins. Steinbeck said truthfully.

"What about the two of them?"

'Fisherman' asked in a deep voice.

"have no idea."

"After completing the transaction, Your Excellency Pigeon and Your Excellency Counseling left, one headed north and the other headed south. Maybe you can use your prestige to summon them."

"With your prestige, it may be effective."

Skiffins Steinbeck's serious words are extremely ironic to the "fisherman".

Unlike the rest of 'them'.

'Pigeon' and 'counseling' are the most timid of 'them' and the two least good at fighting.

They are also the two that the 'fisherman' cares about the least.

Of course, with the personality of a 'fisherman', the two of them would never be ignored.

In fact, the 'fisherman' who was worried about accidents threatened the 'pigeon' and 'counseling' at the earliest time.

Two people?

Naturally, he agreed from the heart.

And I promise, I won't say anything.

There is no contract.

Because the 'ladies' are too sensitive about this.

The 'fisherman' also believed that it was impossible for the two of them to speak out.

But, the plan went wrong.

Those two guys obviously spoke out.

Now that Skiffins. Steinbeck knows.

That……

Thinking of this, the 'fisherman' began to scan his surroundings.

He's looking for what he cares about.

The body of the 'lady'.

Among the flames and blood glow.

The corpse has long been turned into charcoal, and it is impossible to tell whether it is real or not, but with the help of 'time', the 'fisherman' can detect a clue.

The body is not 'lady'.

The rest can be confirmed one by one.

But only the 'Madam' was missing.

A bad premonition appeared in the bottom of the'fisherman's heart.

"Where is she?"

The "fisherman" questioned Skiffins Steinbeck. Compared with the calm and calm weather before, the "fisherman" at this time was anxious and stern, with killing intent gushing out of his eyes. freeze'.

Not icy freezing.

It's a freeze in time.

Skiffins Steinbeck was in it like a worm in amber.

Clearly visible, but unable to move.

But the heir to the Steinbeck family laughed.

"Here, isn't it right behind you?"

behind?

The 'fisherman' was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously turned around.

Behind him is the body of the 'snake'.

The charred corpse was wriggling.

Layers of strange vitality appeared on the charred corpse.

It seems to be pregnant with a new life.

The scorched black skin quickly fell off, revealing the new tender skin.

'Snake' stood up again.

He opened his eyes, revealing vertical pupils like a 'snake', opened his mouth, and what he spit out was also a snake letter, but... the hissing sound was a female voice.

Yes, 'ma'am'.

"You look surprised, 'Angler'."

There was a hint of a smile in the voice of the 'lady' who was resurrected with the body of the 'snake'.

"'molt'!"

"No, it's not just 'molting'."

"besides……"

"'Soul Planting Technique'!"

"You actually completed this secret technique!"

The 'Fisherman' frowned, obviously a little surprised.

"You, who inherited part of Modeus' inheritance, would be surprised by me who inherited part of Modeus' incomplete secret technique?"

"Is this the funniest joke ever?"

"Ridiculous."

There was a smile on the face of the 'ma'am' when she said such words, but with her current appearance, the smile became more and more ferocious and terrifying.

If can't imagine?

Then it's good to have a snake smiling at you in your mind, or the one that keeps spitting out messages.

"Unlike you, the 'lord' has a different choice."

"I have inherited so little."

"I will use whatever is so little."

There was resentment in the voice of 'Ma'am'.

It was a natural jealousy.

Also mixed with the viciousness of snakes.

A chilling coldness emerged from her snake pupils, and strange auras began to fill the surroundings.

It is 'poison'.

The poison of the 'snake'.

But it also added the poison of "Ms."

The former is deadly and silent.

the latter?

Lingering into the marrow.

Even the hard ground under his feet, after touching such toxins, silently turned into nothingness.

Vast tracts of land began to disappear, as if they had never existed in the first place.

'Lady' and 'Fisherman' were suspended in mid-air.

Skiffins Steinbeck was frozen in midair.

The 'fisherman' felt the power of this poison in surprise.

"It's still like this?"

The 'Fisherman' whispered, but then shook his head.

"If it was before, such poison would be effective for me."

"But now?"

"it's useless."

As soon as the 'fisherman' raised his hand, he had to use 'time' to dispel the poison.

But, 'time' is invalid.

No!

To be precise, the 'time' held by the 'fisherman' is invalid.

The 'time' that froze Skiffins Steinbeck is still there.

The 'fisherman' was taken aback.

The 'Ma'am' laughed out loud.

"Accident?"

"Didn't I tell you that you and the 'lord' both have choices, but I don't have a little choice, I can only use what I want. It just so happens that in Modeus' incomplete experiment and secret technique, I I just discovered a power about the 'witch' - the power of the 'witch' that was left over specifically for Modeus."

"This power is very interesting."

"It's half the effort to deal with anyone."

"But only when dealing with Modeus, it can be neutralized."

When the 'lady' raised her hand, a crystal appeared.

The 'fisherman' had a hideous face.

Most of his power was sealed.

The 'time' left by Modeus is completely gone.

The [occupation] he changed and developed by himself is still there.

But it was also affected a little bit.

This brought him back to the [King] level after he had just touched the [Great Emperor] level, and this was fatal.

My lower back hurts.

Skiffins Steinbeck, who was supposed to be bound by time, broke free from the shackles at some point, and stabbed the back of the Fisherman with a small dagger in his hand.

At the same time, a thin sword appeared in the 'Madam''s hand, stabbing straight at it.

'The Angler' lost.

Goethe in the distance is quite sure of this.

However, there was no joy on his face.

Even, cold sweat continued to overflow from his forehead.

Because, at the moment that crystal appeared, 90% of his power disappeared——

[Power Crystal: When the witches first discovered the 'Mad King', they made many of these crystals, not just in case, but the most important part of their plan. The power of the 'Mad King' comes from the witches , when the witches leave seeds in the power crystal, they will absorb that power and pass it on to the witches in the form of nutrients. The stronger the witches, the weaker the 'Mad King', the stronger the 'Mad King', the witch are stronger]

...

Clearly the 'ma'am' lied.

In other words, the 'lady' doesn't know the real purpose of [Power Crystal].

But the text in front of Goethe tells Goethe what the [Power] crystal is

And his disappearing power told him that the initial vigilance was not groundless.

The power he gained was really flawed.

Without any hesitation.

Goethe started to back away.

100 meters.

km.

10,000 meters.

After retreating a full 30 kilometers and completely withdrawing from the range of Sack, Goethe felt his strength return again.
