Volume 1: The Gate of Flesh and Blood Chapter 120 Alger Aldridge
Goethe listened to the words spoken by the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel because of his 'extraordinary loss of control'.
Finally, he was sure!
What the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel wants is an item similar to the 'Ring of the Mad King'.
However, the other party was wrong about one thing!
The 'Mad King' did not fail to complete the records in his notebook!
But it's done!
Not only was it completed, but it was also exceeded!
In the 'Ring of the Mad King', there is not one 'secret realm' but seven!
There is no doubt that either the information provided by the owner of the Pine Nut Inn was wrong, or the "Mad King" was playing a trick on future generations - judging by his feelings, Goethe believed it was the latter.
Look at what the 'mad king' did in the two 'secret realms'.
The other party is definitely not someone who follows the rules.
If I can give future generations a surprise, I definitely wouldn’t mind.
Even, very happy to do so.
after all……
Who would write a diary if they were serious?
The famous saying in his hometown may well become the source of jokes from that 'mad king'.
"Is this considered amusing yourself?"
Goethe sighed in his heart.
The image of the 'mad king' laughing as he wrote this diary appeared in his mind.
At the same time, Goethe's admiration for the 'mad king' grew.
The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel made such a big fuss, but he has only completed the preliminary steps. To what extent did the 'Mad King' back then have to go to complete the 'Mad King's Ring'?
Or was it just to complete the 'Ring of the Mad King' that he became the 'Mad King'?
Goethe didn't know.
But there is one thing Goethe knew.
The owner of the Pine Nut Hotel seems to be getting out of his "out-of-control" state.
The other party was waking up - that seemingly enthusiastic but extremely false feeling once again appeared in Goethe's heart, as if he saw a mandala blooming on a skeleton.
Goethe retreated imperceptibly.
The left hand holds the gun handle, and the right hand holds the [Shadow Snake Blade].
“Aiyah.”
"My brother, you are really hard-hearted."
"I'm here to tell you everything, and you're on guard against me."
"It really makes me so..."
“I’m happy!”
Skiffens Steinbeck drew out his tone and smiled.
It was a smile that came from the bottom of the heart.
He seemed very satisfied with Goethe's performance.
"You look a lot like one of Steinbeck's people, and of course, you also have a bit of the stubbornness of the 'Mad King' bloodline - as your brother, I feel gratified."
"Because you have perfectly inherited the honor of your ancestors!"
"Our ancestors were a group of terrible people. They plundered, cheated, robbed, and killed until one day, they were called nobles and had so-called honor—honor built of ferocity and ruthlessness, full of blood. At that time, if a person had so-called honor, he would definitely kill people like crazy. But now?"
“It’s the same.”
"Even more excessive."
"After all, some people have lost their former glory and need to regain it."
Skiffens Steinbeck sighed heavily.
He looked at Goethe expectantly.
"Will you help me?"
Goethe did not answer, but took another step back, his body pressed against the wall. The invisible [Blood Crow Spirit] appeared silently behind the hotel owner and the other party's guardian knight.
"is that so?"
"I see."
"My foolish brother, since you have made a choice that goes against my will, then you shall die!"
Skiffins Steinbeck said this and raised his hand.
The long sword that cut off the head of the high priest of the Church of Flesh and Blood appeared in his hand again.
The opponent's guardian knight was even ready to launch a charge.
But at this moment——
After the scarlet disappeared, the dark night sky suddenly became bright.
A hundred-meter-long lightsaber fell from the sky and slashed on Luster's invisible barrier.
Just like a knife cutting tofu, the previously sharp and solid barrier was split into two.
Bang!
The barrier was cut into two pieces and shattered under the night sky.
Under the dazzling sword light, these shattered barriers were extremely bright, just like shooting stars across the night sky and disappearing.
The dazzling sword light not only illuminated the fragments of the barrier, but also illuminated the face of Skiffins Steinbeck.
The face of the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel became serious for the first time.
"Alger Aldridge!"
The other party whispered to himself, flipped his hand, and the sword disappeared.
Then, he smiled at Goethe again.
"My dear brother, I wish you a happy life as the 'Secret Keeper'."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pushed.
A 'door' then appeared.
Skiffins Steinbeck walked in with his guardian knight. Before closing the door, he turned around and waved goodbye to Goethe, smiling and saying.
"See you next time."
And a burning cigarette butt suddenly shot out from behind Goethe.
It brushed past Goethe's ear and landed on the 'door'.
However, the 'door' that was clearly there seemed to be an illusion and was passed through.
The 'door' disappeared.
The cigarette butt lost its power and fell directly to the ground.
“What a hassle!”
Amidst the impatient voice, a man with messy hair and beard, wearing a tattered hat, a worn-out jacket, and looking sloppy and like a tramp, appeared beside Goethe.
While the other party was mumbling, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, tapped the side of the cigarette box twice with his fingers, and a cigarette immediately popped out of the box. The other party took the cigarette in his mouth and took out a match.
wipe!
The flame burned on the match head. The sloppy man covered the flame with his hand and took a deep breath. Thick smoke began to drift, making the other person's face even more unclear.
The smoke rolled as if there was a terrifying monster hiding inside.
The pressure was like a mountain pressing down on him, making Goethe stand still and unable to move.
However, the next moment, such pressure disappeared.
It seemed as if the scene just now was just an illusion.
But Goethe's rapidly beating heart told him that this was not an illusion but a real thing.
"Tsk, how did you get targeted by this lunatic?"
"And he still calls me his brother?"
"You are so unlucky."
The sloppy middle-aged man looked at Goethe and said with a sigh.
"have no idea."
"Maybe..."
"coincide?"
Goethe shook his head and said uncertainly.
The sloppy middle-aged man waved his hand, as if he didn't want to ask any more questions.
"Well, maybe it's just a coincidence ."
"Goethe, Wayne?"
"Or Goethe Maudeus?"
The other party confirmed Goethe's last name.
"Goethe Wein!"
Goethe answered with certainty.
At the same time, he took out the "Certificate of Apprentice Secret Keeper" and handed it to the other party.
It clearly says 'Goethe Wein' and the number '0X0X2048'.
Although the incident happened suddenly, some clues were enough for Goethe to determine the identity of the sloppy middle-aged man "Secret Keeper" in front of him.
The slovenly middle-aged man examined Goethe's "Certificate of the Apprentice Secret Keeper" and introduced himself.
"Alger Aldridge, captain of Team 17."
"You can call me Captain, or Captain Aldridge, or Captain Alger."
"But it doesn't matter. You just need to know that your mentor, Morey, was once a trainee member of the 17th team."
22 action teams!
Captain of Team 17!
Goethe was surprised by the information contained in the words of the sloppy middle-aged man.
Although Morey has always highly praised the 22 action teams, Goethe never thought that they would be so powerful!
He was so strong that just standing there required him to use all his strength to stand straight!
Of course, there is another message that Goethe noticed.
Morey was a trainee member of the 17th team.
And he seemed to have been recommended by Morey.
This seems to have some kind of 'brand'?
Goethe thought in his heart, but said without hesitation:
"Got it, Captain."
…
In the secret room of No. 45, Shady Street.
While taking care of the unconscious Kyle, Morey spoke to Mrs. Pence in a low voice.
The topic is naturally 'The Gate of Flesh and Blood '.
Listening to the two people's confident words about the "Secret Keeper", Sheila couldn't help but curl her lips secretly.
"What time is it?"
"Are you still hoping for rescue from the 'Secret Keeper'?"
"Even if the Secret Keeper comes to rescue us, I'm afraid they will only come to clean up the mess!"
Although the 'Hunter Bar' was established with the help of the teacher, with the help of the 'Hunter Bar's' channels, this lady with multiple identities knows quite a lot of secrets that most people don't know.
For example, the situation faced by the entire Tesin after the implementation of the "Legalization of the Supernatural" bill.
To say that it is a mess is no exaggeration.
The secret actions of "superhumans" in various places are creating chaos.
Not only was the 'Secret Keeper' exhausted, but he also suffered heavy losses.
Because the truly powerful "Secret Keepers" had already been transferred to the capital "Board" - in the name of preventing riots from happening again.
But the more this happened, the more Xila felt something was wrong.
It's as if someone is doing this on purpose.
As for why?
Sheila couldn't think of anything.
However, this lady with multiple identities knew that she had to be more careful.
Look at the 'Gate of Flesh and Blood' before you!
This time she was lucky to escape.
Next time?
Who can guarantee such luck?
"How about moving to Bodø after you gain the knowledge of the 'Mad King's Legacy'?"
Sheila thought about it.
Then, Morey, who was talking in a low voice, suddenly jumped up.
"What are you doing?"
The startled Sheila asked unhappily.
"The captain is here!"
Morey said excitedly.
"team leader?"
"Which captain?"
Sheila was stunned.
"Captain of the 17th Action Team, Alger Aldridge!"
Morey said seriously.
"Alger Aldridge?!"
"The sword hero of the dawn? The protector of Hela, Theed, and the entire Isle of Do? The 'Sword Saint' of the Smoker Plains? The liberator of Devil Island? The uncrowned king of the Enzo Mountains? The king to whom the Hildaks are forever loyal? The marshal of the Second War of the Roses?"
A series of nouns popped out of the mouth of this lady with multiple identities.
"Huh?"
"Is there really someone who can remember so many titles?"
With a voice full of doubt, the sloppy middle-aged man opened the door of the secret room.
"team leader!"
Morey and Mrs. Pence shouted in surprise.
And Sheila?
This lady with multiple identities gently pinched the hem of her skirt, bowed and said:
"Hello, respected Lord Alger Aldridge, I am Sheila, the owner of the Hunter Bar in Luster. I am very willing to join in the promotion of the "Legalization of the Supernatural" bill. I hope you can allow me to take the liberty of joining."
