Volume 1: The Gate of Flesh and Blood Chapter 51 Legacy!
Roost, suburb.
A group of people wearing scarlet cloaks stood in a special position.
The low sound of incantations continued.
Cold and withered.
An invisible force spread.
The weather in June suddenly turned into a cold winter.
Standing nearby, a man wearing the same hooded cloak let out a low laugh.
"Come on! Come on!"
"What a bunch of self-righteous guys!"
The laughter was filled with disdain. When the other party raised his head slightly, a pair of blood-red eyes emitted a faint light in the night.
…
A few minutes later, Kyle was dug out of the rubble by Goethe.
"Mr. Morey's Secret Keeper's Manual saved me."
Kyle said this, and then struggled to get up.
However, this is obviously wishful thinking.
Although he had the "Secret Keeper's Manual" given by Morey as protection, Kyle was still seriously injured at this time and lost his ability to move. However, compared with the attacker who turned into a corpse, he was in the best condition.
"Can you hand me that head?"
Kyle begged.
Goethe did not refuse and handed the charred head not far away to Kyle.
"Thank you, Goethe."
"Gentleman..."
Holding his head, Kyle wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. When the young man thought of the innocent old Henry, he could only choke with sobs.
Goethe glanced at Kyle and said nothing more.
He is not good at comforting others.
It is within their ability to dig Kyle out from under the rubble.
When his [Unarmed Combat] reached Extraordinary, not only did his attack method undergo a radical change, his [Physical] attribute also reached 2.8 under normal conditions. His all-round physical fitness was nearly three times that of an ordinary person , allowing his hearing to clearly capture Kyle's groans in the ruins.
Goethe turned and walked towards the 'Killer in the Mist' again.
The other person's head fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.
Goethe then fired two more shots.
Immediately, the eyes of the 'Killer in the Fog' turned into two bloody holes.
Although the other party seemed to be deader than dead, Goethe still thought it was a good habit that should be maintained.
Then, he took his grandfather's ring from the hand of the 'Mist Killer' and picked up the 'Executioner'.
[Executioner: This is an extremely cruel weapon. Its original user did not use it as a weapon to fight, but to punish his slaves. In the end, it cut off the head of the original user and was taken away; Effect: The sharp side has an attack level above the blade level, while the serrated side will cause the victim pain at the level of a bullet (only pain, not real damage, but it can destroy the victim's spirit)]
…
When I picked up the 'Executioner', words appeared before my eyes.
But when Goethe picked up his grandfather's brass ring, he was stunned.
Because Goethe found a line of words inside the ring: Does it matter whether you are wavering between reason and irrationality?
If it were just that, it would not have stunned Goethe.
The real reason for his daze was that this line of text was written entirely in the language of his hometown that he was familiar with.
"this?"
Just when Goethe was in doubt, a faint light flashed inside the copper ring, and the next moment, it appeared on the index finger of Goethe's left hand.
[Unknown object discovered, judging in progress...]
[Identify the unlocking key and pass the test! ]
【Inheritance completed! 】
…
Three lines of text flashed before his eyes, and then a dark night sky appeared in front of Goethe.
It was a night sky that was even darker and deeper than the night sky of Rust.
Seven stars are suspended on it, forming a '丄' shape, shining brightly.
The three stars have a dim luster and are arranged in a row, with a white star at the bottom, a gray star at the top, a black star even higher, and a red star at the top.
The three dim stars are like candles in the wind, as if they will go out at any time.
The white one is like cream, emitting an alluring glow.
The gray one is like fog, making people trapped in it and unable to distinguish anything.
The black one is like an abyss, and it will be swallowed up by the naked eye.
The red one was filled with ominous things, but it was what Goethe cared about the most. Most people would avoid it at the first glance, but Goethe stared at it intently, as if there was something there that was attracting him to go there.
It's like the food you see when you're hungry.
Completely instinctive.
Goethe almost gritted his teeth to force himself to look away.
Then, when his eyes turned to the dimly lit stars, the words appeared again -
[Yes/No Consume 500 gold grams to enter the secret realm? ]
…
"Secret realm?!"
Goethe was shocked.
While gazing at these stars, he had begun to guess what they represented, but Goethe had never thought that these stars actually represented a 'secret realm'.
Judging from the attitude of the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel towards the "secret realm", Goethe could imagine the value of the "secret realm".
And that...
Just one!
Now there are seven!
"'Descendants of the Mad King'...'Legacy of the Mad King'...'Treasure of the Mad King'!"
Goethe whispered in his heart.
Finally, it was determined——
'Mad King's Treasure'!
The copper ring in front of you is the 'Mad King's Treasure'.
And the clue to the 'Mad King's Treasure' mentioned by the 'Killer in the Fog'?
Goethe could not be sure that it was his grandfather's deliberate trickery that deceived the other party.
Or maybe the other party is deliberately creating confusion.
Or maybe there was some wonderful misunderstanding.
These are not important to Goethe now. His eyes once again swept over the stars representing the "secret realm".
Each dim star will have a prompt [Consume 500 gold grams], but there is no prompt for white, gray, black, and red.
"Do I have to 'complete' the 'secret realm' at the bottom before I can open the 'secret realm' above?"
Goethe guessed according to the graphic arrangement of '丄'.
Then, he completely withdrew his gaze from the ring.
It's not that I don't want to go to the 'secret place' to find out.
But, no money.
He doesn't have 500 gold grams.
His entire fortune now only adds up to 192 gold grams, 11 silver strings, 30 copper dimes, and 1 and a half copper dimes.
It's a long way from 500 gold grams.
certainly!
There is also disaster!
Goethe did not forget what Morey said, that whenever the "secret realm" is opened, it will bring disaster.
He needed more information about the 'secret realm'.
After confirming more situations, turn it on again.
as well as……
That text!
Engraved on the copper ring are the familiar words of my hometown!
"Could it be that the 'Mad King' is also..."
Goethe guessed, and then his eyes were attracted by the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
A carriage was coming at full speed.
It's Sheila.
The top star of the Garden Club and the owner of the Hunter Bar drove a carriage to Goethe and jumped out of the carriage with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Did you know?"
"You owe me a big favor!"
"I...xxx! It's that guy!"
Before the lady could finish her words, she saw the body of the 'Mist Killer' on the ground. Immediately, after a burst of exclamations and greetings mixed with some local slang, she went straight to the body.
He didn't search for the body, but instead spat on it.
"asshole!"
"You bastard!"
"You smart-ass idiot!"
The lady cursed as she continued to spit on the corpse of the 'Mist Killer'.
"what happened?"
Goethe had a bad feeling in his heart.
"This guy made us think that he had successfully deceived the 'Flesh and Blood Church', but in fact, everything here is controlled by the 'Flesh and Blood Church' - these guys are more cunning than we imagined. They hid in the dark and let this idiot successfully attract all our attention. Then, they secretly arranged... No, it wasn't a secret arrangement. Anyway... go ask them!"
The more the lady tried to explain, the more annoyed she became, with a look of panic that Goethe had never seen before.
Goethe immediately opened the door of the carriage, and Morey and Mrs. Burns half leaned back in their seats.
Both of them were covered in blood, and Mrs. Burns fell into a coma again. Morey raised his hand weakly, gestured to Goethe, and then smiled bitterly.
"While I was fighting the bodyguards of the owner of the Pine Nut Inn, the 'Flesh and Blood Church' used those corpses to initiate the ritual."
"ceremony?"
Goethe's bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
"'Gate of Flesh and Blood'!"
"It is..."
Boom!
Before Morey finished explaining, the whole Luster began to shake.
As the earth trembled, a gate made entirely of flesh, blood, and bones slowly rose from the ground with a heavy sound like the howling of the undead, covering the entire Luster like a shadow.
Seeing this scene, Morey's face completely lost color.
"It's over!"
