As Goethe blurted out the answer, the shadow in front of him immediately changed.
That is...
Classic bar scene!
The phantom shows off its beauty.
There is not only movement, but also sound.
The visual impact of the combination of audio and video made Goethe feel as if he had returned to the 3D zone in an instant.
“Does it look good?”
Goethe nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong. Just when Goethe was on full alert, the voice rang again.
"Hey, my sons, grandsons, or even more distant descendants, what you see is the treasure of your fathers, grandfathers, and ancestors - alas, it was exclusive back then until the PC came out, but there is no PC here... ah? You ask what a PC is, it's not important! Ahem, back to the point, the PC is a groundbreaking product, one of the most amazing inventions I think, and the most beautiful thing for me as your father, grandfather, and ancestor in my youth, it accompanies me all night long."
A playful voice appeared, which you could feel just by listening to it.
Then the scene changed.
Bonfire, wilderness, a girl in a cloak, strange lines began to rise from one side of her cheek, not rough, just delicate, under the chestnut curly hair, only one eye was intact.
But it did not affect the other person's appearance at all.
Mysterious and charming.
Especially under that cloak, there was nothing worn.
hiss!
Goethe gasped.
"Seeing this, you should know why it can accompany me all night, right?"
"Of course, there are more!"
"I have branded them all with mystical techniques - although I have more now, how can we give up our youth?"
"Youth is meant to burn!"
"Youth is meant to be released!"
“The sound of “pu pu pu” should never stop ringing in our ears!”
The voice came again, high-pitched with a strange rhythm.
And a little bit...
Secondary school.
Well, it’s just middle school!
Goethe was sure that when he said this, Mad King Modus must have been dancing with joy, or even squatting on a chair - just like he squatted in front of the keyboard when he was in his hometown.
The sound continued—
"As your father, grandfather and ancestor, I think I should leave you the most precious treasure, so I left you the 'dictionary'. If my descendants can study it successfully, they will definitely be able to discover the secrets here."
"Although I am a poor student, I hope my descendants can study hard."
"remember!"
"Not studying the 'information' I left for you!"
"But the real 'knowledge'!"
"This 'information' is about 4 terabytes. You can read it at your leisure... Remember, read it at your leisure!"
"Alas, my vacation time is running out."
"It was only two months, why did it end so quickly?"
"I hope I can come to Xiongbao for vacation next time. When I saw the name Xiongbao, I felt a sense of familiarity, which always reminded me of the strong little girl. So, I chose to come here for vacation."
"And it?"
“It didn’t disappoint me.”
Under the burning bonfire in the wilderness, the lady in the shadow showed herself to the fullest.
After a moment, a blue-skinned lady called the Snow Witch joined in.
Goethe stared at it intently.
For that lighthearted, frivolous voice?
The four Ts, he remembered them.
Be sure to cherish these 'learning materials'.
call!
As Goethe exhaled a breath, a scene in the shadow ended.
He immediately looked forward to the next paragraph.
However, what made Goethe frown was that there was only black in the shadow.
Black screen?
Sha, rustle!
Snowflakes appeared in the shadow, just like a TV screen, and a lady with long hair and white clothes crawled out of the well, but she did not show any fear.
Because the lady's X was too big, it got stuck there during the shaking.
'Mad King' 666!
Goethe gave the other person a thumbs up in his heart.
It's really exciting.
What is this secret technique?
He must learn!
"Are you scared? My offspring?"
"To be honest, I was really scared at first. In order to prevent her from becoming my adult shadow, I made some slight changes. Is it effective? You can see it. It's pretty good."
"But this vacation was kind of terrible."
"To be precise, it's been a bit bad lately."
"I discovered something..."
"To this day, I'm not sure if what I found is true or if there is some misunderstanding."
“But this makes me feel uneasy.”
"So, I made some preparations just in case. In addition to this place, I also placed some things in the Leven Islands and the Dole Ruins. If I was mistaken, then these things will be a surprise."
"What if it's real?"
"That would become two trump cards."
"Alright! Alright!"
"Let's stop talking about the troubles. Let's look at something happy."
This voice was different from before.
It was so easy before, frivolous even.
And now?
Even if the other party was hiding something, Goethe could still hear the solemnity in it.
However, Goethe's attention was immediately attracted by the shadow again.
Goethe was fascinated by the unique red dress, the fluttering fan, and the cute and naive "fried dough sticks".
Especially when the beach appears...
Suck it!
Goethe wiped the corners of his mouth.
call!
Goethe shook his body, and the shadow disappeared again.
The voice sounded again.
“Things are taking a turn for the worst.”
"I have a rough idea of ​​what it is."
"Oh, how ironic."
This time the voice turned colder.
That kind of indifference made Goethe feel a chill down his spine .
"I should be thankful that I have prepared some backup plans. Bode's place will firmly attract everyone's attention, and Xiongbao will also make them, them, them, them suspicious."
"I should really be thankful that I have the habit of hiding things in a scattered manner."
"The Levin Islands and the Dole Ruins, they, they, they don't know now, but as time goes by, they will definitely know."
"So, I have to rearrange it to make those two places a little safer."
"You are my descendant and you can see this. Don't ask why. I won't tell you. You are not qualified to know right now. But to be able to see this sentence... you need to pass a test from me."
In the deep voice, a hint of coldness enveloped Goethe.
Breath of death!
In an instant, Goethe was about to lose consciousness.
But at this moment, the 'Ring of the Mad King' worn on the index finger of Goethe's left hand burst out with a burning heat.
In an instant, the coldness disappeared.
Goethe came back to his senses, his forehead and back were covered with sweat.
Before Goethe could wipe it, the sound appeared again.
"very good."
"You are my true descendant."
"You passed the test."
"I need you to remember one thing - hide your identity, stay alive, don't try to follow me, and don't try to find out my information. What you need to do is use my 'legacy' to accumulate your own strength bit by bit."
After saying that, the voice disappeared.
Goethe stood there in confusion.
From watching a pornographic film, it suddenly turned into a thriller horror movie. Even Goethe found it a little unbearable.
He was sure that if it wasn't for the 'Ring of the Mad King', he would have died.
What did the 'Mad King' go through that caused him to suddenly change from a frivolous, immature boy to this sinister person?
And a hidden identity!
Don't even try to follow the other person's footsteps, and don't even try to find out about the other person?
Goethe stood there, his brain working rapidly.
The existing information allowed him to come up with an answer.
Witch!
But according to history, the Mad King gained the support of the witches, and thus became the king of the unified continent from a country "mill knight", but in the end the Mad King tore up the contract and began to hunt witches...
Of course, history cannot be trusted!
But what the truth was, Goethe didn't know.
Goethe only knew that the situation must have been quite critical at the time, otherwise the 'Mad King' would not have said such words about hiding himself and accumulating strength.
At the same time, Goethe also thought about why his great-grandfather asked his grandfather to move from Bode to Lust.
It should be hidden!
Perhaps his great-grandfather did not receive the instructions from the "Mad King", but he instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he stayed away from the vortex.
And it turned out that his great-grandfather was right.
Danger has befallen the descendants of the 'Mad King'.
In a sense, the bloodline of the Mad King has truly been severed.
he.
Ke family.
Although they are nominally descendants of the Mad King, to be honest, they are not pure enough.
“Ahem.”
"I've misjudged the situation again. I'm the dumbest guy in the world - I have to change my plans."
"'Legacy' will be the primary program!"
"But I still need a backup plan!"
"My descendant, when you have mastered the knowledge about 'Warriors' that I left in Bear Castle and have been promoted to 'Fearless', you can go to the Leven Islands, where you can get further promotion!"
"Remember, when you complete this promotion, you will be 'targeted'!"
"So, you must be fully prepared before you get promoted!"
"You have to give yourself some time to go to the Dole Ruins and obtain the last bit of power I left for you. I have also set up some traps there, which are enough for you to stop those guys!"
"remember!"
"Don't believe what you hear!"
"Don't believe what you see!"
"Don't trust anyone!"
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
"Now I'm going to make those guys pay!"
"Die! Die! Die!"
"Let's all be buried together!"
Amidst the crazy laughter, the shadow disappeared completely.
Hearing such laughter, Goethe's hair really stood on end.
That laughter was filled with not only madness!
besides……
destroy!
Destroy everything!
And it was not until this time that the appearance of the 'Mad King' coincided with the appearance of the 'Mad King' in Goethe's cognition - in the dilapidated ruins, a middle-aged man with tattered armor and broken sword was gasping for breath, and his eyes under the sticky blood-filled hair were filled with an obsession that was so strong that it was materialized. He made the whole world tremble, he forged his own reputation with killing, and was known to the world for his madness.
He is no longer the frivolous and happy young man Zhao Jingjue.
It was the 'Mad King' Modeus.
Goethe stood in silence for several seconds.
Turning around and walking towards the stone slab in the room - Goethe was sure that the Archduke, Simlai, Enmlai, and Gejil had definitely not noticed the shadow here.
In other words, only those who wear the 'Ring of the Mad King' can see such an apparition.
It's like being able to enter a 'secret realm'.
The 'Ring of the Mad King' is the key.
As for the test?
Of course, it’s because there is more than one ‘Ring of the Mad King’.
Or to be more precise, only one is real and the rest are fake.
The words of 'the killer in the fog' came to Goethe's mind, confirming this indirectly.
Where did the fake 'Ring of the Mad King' come from?
Of course, it was forged by the Mad King himself.
The purpose is to kill those opponents.
No doubt!
Considering the Mad King's final state, Goethe would have believed it, not to mention such a petty trick, even if it meant destroying the world.
Goethe could even guess that the reason why the Mad King left the previous image was to paralyze his opponent.
This made those opponents who were familiar with the 'Mad King' become more and more disdainful of him.
Thus stepping into a death trap.
It should be...
Is this right?
Goethe thought silently, he raised his hand and placed it on the stone slab.
In the dim light, words began to appear -
[Special information, judging...]
[Judgment passed...]
[Get the advanced information of 'Fearless'! 】
[1, 'Heart' 10]
[2, 'body' 30]
[3. Have the prerequisite of "Hellblood"]
[4. Face overwhelming threats without fear (3/3)]
[5, take a Hell Grass (0/1)]
[Additional judgment in progress...]
[Judgment passed! ]
[Hunting Tredelk with bare hands, using its horn, eye, and heart as the core of the ritual]
…
The text paused for about two seconds, and then the supplement began to appear -
['Fearless' Trial can be replaced by 5 Bloody Honors]
['Hell Grass' Trial can be replaced by 6 Bloody Honors]
[Triderk's horns, eyes, and heart can be replaced with 20 bloody honors]
…
Just like before.
The additional judgment appears again.
Similarly, [Bloody Honor] is still a jack-of-all-trades character.
only--
"What is 'Triddlek'?"
"You actually need 20 bloody honors as a replacement?"
Goethe looked at the last item in the notes and frowned slightly.
Originally, he was satisfied with his current reserve of [Bloody Honor], but after seeing the promotion of the 'Fearless', he once again felt stretched.
"We need more [Bloody Honor]!"
Goethe uttered this exclamation.
Then he looked at the collection of books in the room.
Hmm...
Little Liu Bei as always.
It occupies at least eighty percent of the books in the room.
It should have been interesting.
But when Goethe thought of the change that the Mad King had just undergone, he became uninterested.
He was simply looking for the four Ts.
For nothing.
Just want to get more information.
Then, in the corner of the room, Goethe saw a pinch of powder - a powder mixed with stones and crystals.
The stone appearance hides the crystal inside.
When you touch the 'key', everything starts.
Finally, destruction.
4T is gone.
Goethe became increasingly bored. He flipped through the notes in a hurry, hoping to find the "secret technique" left by the "Mad King" for making images - but there was none. All the notes here were related to "supernormal knowledge".
From the simple to the complex.
Although there is no decent 'secret technique' in it.
But, it is easy to understand.
It is also very comprehensive.
From potions to astrology.
From rituals to animal taming.
Almost everything.
Goethe was a little careless at first, but as he flipped through the pages, he became unconsciously absorbed in it.
Especially the astrology part.
This was knowledge to which Goethe had little access.
He does not seek to understand everything, but only to memorize and recite quickly.
The pages of the book rustled.
Goethe relied on his [mind] and [body] which were far superior to those of ordinary people to memorize quickly.
When I finished reading the notebook about divination——
Hiss hiss hiss!
The hissing sound of a snake rang in Goethe's ears.
A dark snake, made entirely of shadow, crawled out from his shadow.
At this moment the shadow snake is no longer huge.
The body has shrunk hundreds of times.
But the scales are clear and the eyes become hazy.
It spit out its tongue, circled around Goethe, and under Goethe's gaze, bit its own tail.
Swallow again.
Endless.
Endless.
Different from the previous spill.
This time it's a rotation.
A perfect circle appeared around Goethe.
Words emerge——
[Shadow Snake's Tail Devouring Technique (Incomplete): When you incorporate the astrology and divination parts of the Mad King's notes into it, the divination technique created by Shadow Snake Snake, which combines multiple divination techniques with his own learning, becomes complete. However, this completeness is still only relative and cannot achieve the effect you want, even though its original two parts have been enhanced and have new parts! ]
[Effects: 1, tail in hand; 2, tail ringing; 3, head held high]
[Tail: Use a pendulum to imitate a snake and use divination to confirm something, with a small chance of accuracy.]
[Rattle: Use a pendulum to imitate a snake, interfering with other people's divination of you, with a small chance of success.]
[Look up: You can predict certain things based on the changes in the stars, but most of the time it's useless.]
(Note 1: When fortune-telling, in addition to the pendulum, you can also use coins, canes, crystal balls, burning bones, etc., but this will further reduce the accuracy)
(Note 2: When fortune-telling, if you use crystals that are rich in mystery, the accuracy will increase or decrease)
(Note 3: This secret technique cannot be upgraded, but can be completed)
…
When complex knowledge appeared, Goethe breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he read the notes on astrology and divination without seeking to understand them in detail was to supplement the [Shadow Snake's Tail-Eating Technique]. Although in the 'Anchor Point World' and the mysterious 'Secret Realm', the [Shadow Snake's Tail-Eating Technique] was basically just a decoration.
However, in the mysteriously dissipated 'secret realm', [Shadow Snake's Tail-Eating Technique] is still somewhat useful.
Of course, you also have to rely on luck.
However, something is better than nothing.
What's more, Goethe had [good luck]!
As he was thinking about this, Goethe was about to look through the books again.
But at this time——
jingle!
The sound of bells suddenly came into my ears.
This is the sound of the bell hanging behind the door of the room.
It means that the time has come.
Goethe glanced at the books again, turned around and walked out with a little reluctance.
Knowledge is of course priceless.
But the rules are the same.
When two hours are up, it's time to leave.
Goethe didn't want to try to see what would happen after more than two hours.
Outside the door, Enmle.K and Gejier.K stared at Goethe who came out.
When they found that Goethe was fine as usual, they seemed a little disappointed.
"Goethe, didn't you look through your notes?"
Enmlai Ke couldn't help but ask.
"It seems that the description of astrology is too wonderful. I never thought that the changes of the stars could affect the changes of the entire world. They..."
Goethe recited the knowledge concerning astrology and divination in a serious manner.
He just memorized it.
At this time, the recitation is naturally word for word.
smell?
You mean the taste?
How is that possible!
The flames burn everything!
Listening to Goethe's recitation, Enmleik was dumbfounded.
He had been into the knowledge room of his ancestral land, so he naturally knew what was recorded in the notes on astrology and divination . They were exactly the same as what Goethe was reciting at this moment.
But!
What else?
Didn't Goethe pay attention to other things?
"You didn't see anything else?"
Enmlai Ke asked without giving up.
“Yes.”
"very nice."
"fine."
Goethe admired it sincerely.
But such praise made Enmlai.K and Gejil.K feel perfunctory.
The Grand Duke's second son felt disappointed.
Gejiel K couldn't help but ask.
"Goethe, do you feel the art in it?"
“I feel it!”
“Lifelike and realistic!”
Goethe spoke words that only he could understand.
"Is there no ..."
"Enmulai, Gejier!"
Simraik spoke.
The eldest son of the Grand Duke looked at his two younger brothers with a stern look, which made them shrink their necks. Then, when the eldest son of the Grand Duke looked at Goethe, he was full of admiration - Simlek thought that Goethe was the same as himself.
They are all people with extremely strong willpower.
It's like steel.
It will not be affected by external things at all.
Only a person with such a strong will can possess such strength.
As the most talented person in the North, Simlai K naturally understands that hard work and persistence are indispensable if one wants to transform talent into strength.
Without the latter, no matter how good the talent is, it will be useless.
You are worthy of being my younger brother!
A smile appeared on Simlaik's serious face.
Goethe was a little embarrassed.
He could still feel the cool air coming through his trouser legs.
My balls are a little cold.
"Hahaha!"
"Let's go back to the castle."
"Lunch!"
The Grand Duke laughed and patted Goethe's shoulder. He was very satisfied with his nephew. Perhaps in a few years, his nephew would grow up to the height of Simlai. By then, the North would be even more prosperous.
Only Sheila frowned.
She always felt that something was missing from Goethe.
Subconsciously, Xila raised her hand to touch it.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, Sheila's palm was opened.
Xila looked at Goethe unconvinced.
"Want to touch it?"
"More money."
Goethe said seriously.
Then, he unconsciously quickened his pace.
Is a fool’s intuition so accurate?
Deep down, Goethe was quite surprised.
The Ke family and their group returned to the inner castle of Xiong Castle.
Lunch is the offerings made to the ancestors - naturally, these offerings are not enough as food, but according to the rules of the Ke family, only these can be eaten for this meal.
At dinner time, you can return to normal.
The third son of the Grand Duke and Goethe consciously shared the food with Nina.
Then, Goethe turned his gaze to Sheila.
At this moment, Sheila was picking up a chicken leg.
After seeing Goethe's gaze, Sheila stuffed the chicken leg into her mouth without hesitation.
"Innocent!"
Goethe sneered and directly picked up the plate in front of Xila.
"ah!"
Sheila screamed in pain, but it was of no avail. With a chicken leg blocking her mouth, she could only watch Goethe quickly finish the food.
The Grand Duke watched this scene with a smile.
He found that the North had become much happier since Goethe and Silas came.
Such nice days!
Gotta keep it up!
It would be nice if there were a few more people!
As the Grand Duke was thinking, he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor.
"Your Highness, Prince Most requests to see you."
Prince Most?
George VI's son?
The Grand Duke was stunned, then spoke.
"Let him in."
A moment later, a young man in ragged clothes and haggard face came in. When he saw Lord Scrooge, he knelt on the ground without saying a word, crawled forward, banged his head on the ground, and shouted--
"uncle!"
