Volume 2: Boundless Walker Chapter 9 Cooperate in the performance!
Goethe's great-grandfather had two children.
One is the branch of Goethe’s grandfather.
The other one is the branch of Scrooge Clarke’s father.
There are three Scrooge brothers and their father, making a total of four people.
It just so happens that four copies of [Bloody Honor] appear on this sword!
So, there is nothing wrong with the witch's gratitude.
The bloodline of the Mad King ends with Goethe, completely ended!
So here comes the question!
Since Lord Scrooge is dead.
So who is Lord Scrooge now?
The answer is not difficult to guess.
"A moment of blindness cost our grandfather and two uncles their lives! And our father was seriously injured!"
Emlek's words once again echoed in Goethe's heart.
His eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at the annotation of [Sharp Long Sword (Excellent)] again.
Credor!
The owner of this sword is Credor!
It was Creedol who killed the three Scrooge brothers and each other's father!
Then, he pretended to be Scrooge!
Although it seemed a bit absurd, Goethe could not think of any other possibility except this one.
A great detective once said: When all other possibilities have been eliminated and only one remains, no matter how improbable it is, that is the truth - Goethe agreed with this.
At the same time, Goethe also understood why Scrooge K withdrew from the "Northern Secret Keeper Branch" at that time.
Love reading
There must be too many familiar people there, and even if the disguise is perfect, there will be flaws!
And inside the castle...
Goethe frowned secretly.
Compared to the 'Northern Secret Keeper Branch', the talents in the castle were undoubtedly more familiar, just like the old butler, who was obviously a confidant who had served for three generations. It was impossible for such a person not to see the clues.
unless……
The people here are also cooperating with Credor!
Even the people here were 'changed' silently!
Only in this way can 'Scrooge' and 'Credol' appear at the same time.
Goethe was startled.
He thought of more.
Back then, it was obviously impossible for just Credor to do this.
There must be someone to cooperate.
What could be more appropriate than 'The Royal Family of Tesin'?
After Credor killed Scrooge K.'s family of four for unknown reasons, he continued to rule the North under the guise of Scrooge K. with the help of the 'Royal Family of Tesin'. Although the two sides were at odds on the surface, Credor secretly cooperated with the 'Royal Family of Tesin' to obtain considerable benefits and deal with problems that the 'Royal Family of Tesin' could not solve.
The ideas in Goethe's mind gradually became clear.
Although there are still a few doubts, they are not important anymore.
Goethe began to think about how to deal with what happened next!
As for leaving?
Don’t even think about it!
It was obvious that Scrooge invited him here because the Royal Family of Tesin coveted the Mad King's Legacy - the "Mist Killer" was a member of the Royal Family of Tesin, and Goethe believed that Scrooge would not lie to him about this.
Recalling the clues given by the 'Mist Killer'.
Undoubtedly, the clues point to the 'North'!
But there are still some key points missing to obtain the 'Mad King's Legacy'!
Therefore, he, the guardian of the 'Mad King's Legacy', was invited here!
Under such circumstances, do you want to leave?
Unless the other party obtains the 'Mad King's Legacy'!
Otherwise, it would be impossible!
“What a trouble!”
Goethe sighed in his heart.
Just as he had expected, this trip to the 'North' was full of conspiracies, but not from Scrooge's children, but from Scrooge himself!
And this?
It's the worst possible scenario!
"What's the matter, Goethe?"
'Scrooge. Lord' came over and asked.
"I am a little confused."
Goethe said softly.
"What doubts?"
"Kredor is the murderer!"
"Father, we should arrest this guy right away!"
"This is the only way to shut up Consultant Klayyang's family!"
Enmlai K interrupted Goethe and spoke directly.
This "Second Son of the Grand Duke" identified Credor as the murderer.
"Brother, please calm down!"
"Based on the current evidence, we cannot prove that Lord Credor is the murderer. The width of this corridor is not wide enough for a person to fully use this long sword and carry out such a stabbing, let alone a person as tall and strong as Lord Credor."
Gejier K tried his best to argue his case.
But this made the other's brother laugh out loud.
"As everyone knows, Credor is a master of swordsmanship. This kind of space that ordinary people cannot use is not a problem for this master of swordsmanship. Look at the direction of the sword tip. It seems to be stabbing straight, but it is actually stabbing diagonally from bottom to top. Credor must have drawn the sword with lightning speed and stabbed Consultant Klaiyang. Only in this way could he lift up Consultant Klaiyang's entire body and stab it directly into the wall!"
Under the gaze of his brother and father, the 'Second Son of the Grand Duke', whose words were initially full of sarcasm, quickly turned to a serious answer.
Although he did not draw his sword, the 'Second Son of the Grand Duke's' precise gestures were very consistent with what the other party said.
This left Gejiel K speechless.
Looking at the three silent sons, Lord Scrooge looked towards Goethe.
"Did you find anything just now?"
The 'Grand Duke' brought the subject back.
"Um."
"I'm just curious, why did Lord Credor keep his longsword? Or, why didn't he use an ordinary longsword?"
Goethe nodded and said this.
Goethe stood there, seemingly the same as always, as if he had simply made his own judgment.
The more dangerous it is, the calmer you should be.
The more dangerous it is, the calmer you should be.
There are similar training sessions at my hometown 'club'.
Goethe was naturally not the one with the best grades - because, from the very beginning of this class, Goethe incorporated the "acting skills" he had learned before into it.
Therefore, Goethe knew what he should do at this time.
Hide your shortcomings?
No need.
It will only backfire.
On the premise of maintaining a normal level, what he should do most now is to be vigilant and look for a breakthrough.
"Are you used to this sword?"
"Maybe it's too late?"
"Or maybe it just didn't come out?"
"It could also be, it could be..."
The Grand Duke's Second Son was startled and spoke subconsciously, but fell silent as he spoke.
Just as he said, Credor was a master of swordsmanship. It was effortless for him to kill Klayon with a sword. Under such circumstances, how could the other party leave the sword at the scene?
"Maybe he is deliberately creating confusion?"
Finally, the 'Second Son of the Grand Duke' said this.
However, this could not convince Lord Scrooge and the Lord's eldest son.
"Father, I have sent guards to look for Lord Credor. Even if the murderer set a trap to silence him, Lord Credor will most likely be safe and sound given his strength. In the worst case, he will definitely leave us some information!"
"I have also sent someone to inform Counselor Klayyang's family."
"They should be here soon."
The 'Grand Duke's eldest son' spoke.
As the 'eldest son of the Grand Duke' spoke, the quarrel between the second and third sons stopped immediately.
It is obvious that the eldest brother has absolute authority in this family.
"Well, you, Enmulai and Gejier go and receive them first, I will be there soon."
'Scrooge.' said the Archduke.
Immediately, the three "sons of the Grand Duke" bowed and left at the same time.
After his three sons left, the 'Grand Duke' turned to look at Goethe and continued.
"Goethe, use your channels to inform the 'Secret Keeper' of everything that happens here."
'Scrooge. Lord' said with a serious face.
After saying this, the elder's apology appeared.
"I'm sorry, Goethe."
"You've been dragged into this."
"But don't worry, it will be over soon!"
"I promise you!"
Faced with the assurance of the 'Grand Duke', Goethe nodded in trust.
"I have already instructed Butler Art to reserve a room for you and your friend. If you need anything, just tell Butler Art directly - he is the person I trust the most."
"Yeah, okay."
Goethe did not refuse. In this situation, the best option was to stay in the sight of the "Grand Duke" and let him think that everything was under control.
"dinner!"
"For dinner, I will make sure you eat stewed earth dragons!"
The 'archduke' patted Goethe on the shoulder again and strode away.
The old butler was already waiting in the corridor at this time.
"Master Goethe, please come with me."
Goethe looked back in the direction of the kitchen, twitched his nose, sniffed the meaty aroma, and then walked towards the guest room with the old butler.
Sheila and Swart were already waiting in the guest room.
The guest room arranged by the old butler is a large suite with four independent bedrooms and a public reception room, study, entertainment room, as well as a private reception room, study, and so on.
If it is not placed inside the castle, it is an independent courtyard.
"Master Goethe, if you have any instructions, please let me know immediately."
After the old butler finished speaking, he bowed and left.
Sheila and Swart stared at the old butler's back until he completely disappeared, then they asked in a low voice.
"What happened?"
Although both of them were inside the castle hall, the sudden change in atmosphere did not escape their notice.
"Counselor Klayon is dead."
"Assassinated by the sword of Lord Kreidor."
Goethe said it truthfully.
This was a well-known fact and there was nothing to hide from the two of them.
As for some secret things?
Goethe would never say that.
"What?"
“Damn it!”
"I knew something was going to happen!"
Swart exclaimed, and then he turned around in the room. After about four or five rounds, the sheriff suggested again: "Goethe, let's run! I always feel that this matter is not that simple!"
"Of course it's not easy!"
"This is an opportunity!"
"As long as Credor is the murderer, his subordinates will also be held jointly responsible and will be temporarily isolated for investigation. Then the Goethe Plan will come - control the 'Northern Secret Keeper Branch'! "
However, Xila's eyes sparkled with wisdom.
Swart was shocked.
The sheriff felt that he could not keep up with Sheila's train of thought.
Especially when he found that Goethe was concentrating on thinking, he exclaimed.
"Goethe, you wouldn't listen to a fool, would you?"
"Won't!"
"Give me a moment. I need to report everything that happened here."
As he said this, Goethe picked up the box containing Jin Ke and left the room.
