Volume 2: Boundless Walker Chapter 8 Accident!
"What?"
“Impossible!”
"Lord Credor would never do such a thing!"
Gejiel K said this completely subconsciously.
"What's impossible?"
"Hmph, Credor!"
Enmle. Ke, the second son of the Grand Duke, immediately sneered.
Gejier.K was about to refute, but was stopped by Simlai.K.
"Stop making noise!"
The eldest son of the Grand Duke shouted in a low voice, and his two younger brothers immediately dared not say a word. Then, the eldest son of the Grand Duke looked at his father again. After the Grand Duke nodded in agreement, the eldest son of the Grand Duke immediately looked at the old butler.
"Where is the body?"
"It's in the corner of the kitchen hallway."
The old butler replied immediately.
"Let's go."
The eldest son of the Grand Duke, along with his two younger brothers and the old butler, immediately walked out the door.
Looking at the backs of his three sons, Archduke Scrooge was pleased. Then he turned his head and looked at Goethe with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Goethe."
"It got you into trouble."
The Grand Duke said so.
Without waiting for Goethe to speak, the Archduke continued.
"I originally wanted to get you out of the vortex and into the safe place of the North, but... those guys are getting bolder and bolder!"
The voice is low.
Like a bear roaring.
An indescribable feeling of oppression emerged on Lord Scrooge's face .
At such a close distance, Goethe's feelings were most intuitive.
He seemed to see a polar bear standing up and roaring wildly at someone who had invaded its territory.
Then?
Of course, tear the intruder to pieces!
Goethe looked at the furious Archduke Scrooge and thought about what he had just said.
Who are those guys?
Is it the 'Secret Keeper'?
Is it someone from the Bode headquarters?
Or the Archduke's enemy?
As if he had seen through Goethe's thoughts, Archduke Scrooge lowered his head, looked at Goethe, and said with a smile, "Don't guess blindly, it's just some guys in the royal family - they can be considered our distant relatives, but they are more fierce than our enemies!"
"They covet the North, and they covet the heritage that our ancestors guarded."
"They are greedy, vicious, and extremely cunning, just like vultures and hyenas."
"So, when I confirmed that you were my nephew, I immediately asked you to come to the North and made up a lie about your serious illness. Of course, the Secret Keepers are on our side. I used to be a Secret Keeper, and although we had conflicts, I know very well that they are trustworthy."
Faced with Dang's explanation, Goethe became more and more puzzled.
"How do you know I'm your nephew?"
Goethe asked.
"Before, it was my father's notes, and now?"
"It's the body!"
"Except for our bloodline, no family can have such a strong body before being baptized - but, Goethe, you seem to be a little stunted. It should be that my uncle did this on purpose. In order to hide his true identity, my uncle really forgot his bloodline and even forgot the cruelty of this world!"
"After you completely lay down your weapons, what you will welcome is not peace, but jackals!"
"Even if there is a brief peace, in the end, they will eat you up until not even a bone is left!"
"My cousins, your father and uncles, must have been so thin and weak following my uncle's teachings. Otherwise, how could a mere 'Mist Killer' cause the Wayne family to wither?"
"People from our family can strangle a bunch of them to death with just one hand!"
When talking about Goethe's deceased grandfather, father and others, the Archduke's face was full of regret, and when mentioning the 'Killer in the Fog', a deep hatred emerged on the Archduke's face.
Such hatred is connected to the previous words.
An answer suddenly appeared in Goethe's mind.
"Is the 'Mist Killer' a member of the Tesin royal family?!"
"certainly!"
"Otherwise, how could a little bastard escape the pursuit of the 'Secret Keeper'?"
"How can we get to Lust?"
"This is all arranged by the Tesin royal family. They need to use a 'reasonable method' to obtain the secret of the 'inheritance' without angering me!"
The Archduke nodded, his voice growing deeper.
"Because they understand that I am the protector of the North, and for the sake of the North, I will endure."
"The Secret Keepers know that, too."
"So, they got you here."
"If you continue to stay in Lust, you will only become a weapon in the hands of those guys pointing at me!"
As he spoke, Lord Scrooge grinned.
He pulled a notebook and a scroll from his bosom and threw them to Goethe.
"The notebook was left by my father and your great uncle. The records on it can prove everything I said."
"As for the scroll?"
"You are the only one left in the Wayne family. I hope you have the ability to protect yourself. Our common blood determines that you will be protected by me, but as a man, you must have your own abilities!"
"And it?"
"It will give you strength!"
The Grand Duke said this.
And the moment Goethe touched the scroll, words began to appear—
[The secret technique 'Voliber Breathing' has been discovered, judging...]
[Possessing the 'heart' attribute, passed the judgment! ]
[Without the baptism ceremony, the 'body' has reached 2, and it is judged as passed! ]
【Mastered 'Graphic Language (Basics)', passed! 】
[If you pass the judgment, you can use 'Bloody Honor' to learn! ]
[Not enough 'Bloody Honor' to learn! ]
…
"'Voliber Breathing'?!"
It was another breathing technique, and it was given directly.
Goethe raised his head and looked at Archduke Scrooge.
There was a hint of anticipation in the rough smile on the Grand Duke's face.
“Try to learn it!”
"When you reach a certain level, I will hold a baptism ceremony for you. The baptism ceremony for the 'Secret Keeper' is safe, but too mediocre. As the only man in the Wayne family, you must be the strongest!"
"It just so happens that the Ke family's baptism ceremony is one of the most powerful baptism ceremonies recognized by Tesin!"
The Archduke patted Goethe on the shoulder again as he spoke.
He looks exactly like an elder.
There is no wariness at all.
If Goethe had not confirmed that he had severed the bloodline of the Mad King, he would have thought that this was his elder.
Even though they knew that they had cut off the bloodline of the Mad King, Goethe was still born. Could it be that the witches made a wrong judgment?
Because, from beginning to end, Goethe could only feel the sincerity of Archduke Scrooge.
The care that elders show to their younger generations.
The kind that is meticulous.
This made Goethe suspicious.
He put away the scroll and the notes.
Seeing Goethe's expression, Archduke Scrooge laughed.
"Goethe, you must work hard!"
"I expect you to become a truly independent man!"
"Let's go and see poor Clay Young."
The Grand Duke said this, but his tone was understated.
This tone doesn't sound like his advisor was killed at all.
"Klay Young?"
Goethe asked tentatively.
"That group of guys planted a spy there. They thought I didn't know, but in fact I knew everything. They even used this guy to spread some false information from time to time!"
The Archduke winked at Goethe.
But then he frowned.
"But why did Credor kill him?"
"This guy isn't 'out of control'!"
The Grand Duke murmured to himself.
Soon, Goethe saw the body of Clayjan.
Clayon was pinned to the wall with his mouth open and eyes wide open.
The sword came so fast that the consultant was completely killed before he could even utter a word - when the sword pierced into the opponent's body, the opponent's internal organs were all shattered and even turned into a pool of rotten meat.
It was like a small explosion inside the body.
Then, the sword blade pierced through the back and penetrated one-third of the wall.
"It's Lord Credor's swordsmanship, but... there's no reason for it!"
After examining the body , Gejier, Ke looked puzzled.
"Why no reason?"
"He's dead."
"'War' may come early, and those jackals in 'Bod' will not miss this opportunity!"
Enmle.K sneered.
"Lord Credor would not surrender to those jackals. He was just deceived at that time!"
Gejier.K defended the 'secret keeper'.
"Yeah, blinded!"
"A moment of deception caused our grandfather and two uncles to lose their lives! Our father was seriously injured! It almost caused the entire northern border to lose its barrier! Such deception... is really great!"
The Grand Duke's second son sneered.
"Mr. Credor has always felt guilty and apologetic."
"I have seen him kneel down and confess his sins more than once when no one was around."
The third son of the Grand Duke talked about what he saw and heard.
"Oh, when no one is around?"
"Then why can you see it?"
"Gerjil, you are so naive!"
“People can act!”
"And Credor is obviously using his superb acting skills to deceive you - he knows you will see it, so he performs it for you because he needs to gain your favor!"
"Even the accident that happened to you, I suspect he staged it himself!"
The Grand Duke's second son sneered again.
"impossible!"
"Father and brother have already investigated!"
"It was just an accident!"
Gejil K's face flushed and he raised his voice.
Soon, their argument turned into a quarrel.
This time, Simlai Ke did not stop his two younger brothers from quarreling. After searching around, the eldest son of the Ke family sent people to look for Credor.
At this time, as long as we find Credor, everything will be revealed.
However, the eldest son of the Ke family did not hold out much hope.
Since the other party has taken action, he will not leave such a loophole.
On the contrary, they will deliberately create confusion.
Not only will it delay time, but it will also make them busy and panic.
So, he has already arranged the staff.
Ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
Then, naturally, the eldest son of the Ke family turned his gaze to the only "outsider" present.
Goethe noticed the stares, but he ignored them.
His eyes were completely attracted by the sword.
He sensed a familiar scent on it.
The breath of [Bloody Honor]!
"Can I check it out?"
Goethe asked the Archduke.
"certainly!"
The Grand Duke did not stop him and readily agreed.
Goethe immediately walked over, began to examine the body, and touched the sword.
And just as he touched the sword, words quickly appeared before his eyes——
[Sharp Long Sword (Excellent): This sword was made for Credor by the Secret Keeper Headquarters in Baldur. It is very sharp and well maintained. It is an absolutely sharp weapon! ]
【Bloody Honor x4】
…
Looking at the prompt, Goethe was stunned.
"etc!!"
"Four copies of [Bloody Honor]?!"
A guess suddenly appeared in Goethe's mind.
