The team could already see the Bear Castle.
From Goethe's perspective, the Xiong Castle looked like a long cliff.
“Does it feel like a cliff?”
Enmlai Ke came over.
Goethe nodded.
"It is rumored that Bear Castle was a plain a hundred years ago or even earlier. But our ancestor, His Majesty Modus, fought a great battle with the witches here. As a result... not only did he create an inland sea, but he also completely changed the environment of the North."
"Some very rare books once recorded that the North was 'spring-like all year round.' "
"and……"
"I once secretly dug the soil layer under the Bear Castle and found some plants that have never appeared in the North, some vines that can only be found in warm places."
Enmlai Ke, who had always behaved like a dissolute young master, now acted like a scholar.
"A hundred years ago? Even earlier?"
Goethe paid attention to what Ernst & Young said.
"Strange time, isn't it?"
"Everyone says that our ancestor Modus created Tesin a hundred years ago, but according to our family's records, our ancestor should have started a war with the witches even earlier."
“It should be unknown to people.”
"But how?"
"In short, the timeline is a bit strange. The notes of the ancestors are too difficult to understand. Even after all the years of translation by the Ke family, they have only understood a small part of it. However, Gejier should have gained the most."
Having said that, Enmlai K, who looked like a scholar, curled his lips towards the carriage behind him, with a smile in his eyes that only men could understand.
At this moment, Goethe and his entourage, in addition to the 200 cavalrymen and all the baggage, also had three carriages.
Gejier was lying in the first carriage.
After treatment, the Grand Duke's third son, who possessed a strong recovery ability, was basically able to sit up, but it was impossible for him to ride a horse. Therefore, he could only lie in the car and be taken care of by the small town girl Ella.
In the second carriage was Swart.
After several adventures, Swart, who felt that he was not strong enough, asked Lord Scrooge to "increase his strength a little".
The Grand Duke deeply agreed with this and directly threw the police chief into the barracks of the Grand Duke's Guard for a month of special training.
result?
On the way to Xiong Castle, Swart, who was bruised all over and exhausted, fell into a coma.
Except for eating, I basically sleep every day.
However, Goethe could see that Swart had gained a lot.
At least, his face became thinner and his body became stronger.
As for the third carriage?
Lying there was Sheila.
The reason is...
Food poisoning.
When Goethe heard the news, he was deeply surprised, but for some reason, he felt it was reasonable - it was very strange. If such a thing happened to someone else, Goethe would definitely be suspicious. After all, according to Sheila herself, she had completed the so-called "double baptism", and her physical condition had already surpassed that of ordinary people by far. How could she have food poisoning?
If the food eaten can cause food poisoning to a supernatural being, it would be fatal to an ordinary person.
Faced with such deadly food, any extraordinary person with a little common sense would not try it.
But Shila?
emmmm.
excusable.
Goethe glanced at the carriage where Xila was, and finally turned his gaze back to where Gejier was.
He wanted to hear what Enmlai Ke had to say.
There is no other reason.
When everyone shows a smile that every man understands, every man will ask.
Just curious!
Hmm, curious!
"Do you know why Gajier likes painting?"
The smile in Enmlai Ke's eyes became even more intense.
Under Goethe's gaze, the second son of the Grand Duke lowered his voice and spoke.
"Because, in our ancestors' notes, there are quite a few sketches of ladies... the kind without clothes."
hiss!
Little Liu Bei!
It’s an illustrated version!
The last time Goethe read the 'Diary of the Mad King' in the milky white 'Secret Realm', he had already thought that this was his limit. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the 'Mad King's' moral integrity.
Not only practice, but also keep memories.
Suddenly, an idea came into Goethe's mind.
Does the ‘Mad King’ use a mobile phone when he is at home?
If you use it...
Tsk tsk tsk.
Goethe sighed in his heart, and then he looked forward to the ancestor worship ceremony in Xiongbao even more.
When Enmle. Ke saw Goethe's expression, he knew that his cousin should really be a fellow traveler - what happened to Goethe in the Luster Club was no secret, and Enmle. Ke had already investigated it clearly before meeting Goethe.
But what you hear is not as good as what you see.
For anything, seeing is believing.
Just like in Goethe’s hometown, two old-timers separated by the Internet can pass on their teacher’s works to each other with just an emoticon package.
Emlek and Goethe smiled at each other and reached a certain consensus.
Afterwards, the two of them sat upright.
Because the grand master in front of the team turned his head and looked at the two of them.
To be precise, it was the Grand Duke who was warning his second son with his eyes.
According to the tradition of the Ke family, only men over the age of 22 can stay out all night, but they must be back for breakfast - this greatly hinders the beauty of the night and early morning exercises.
The first time Enmlai Ke was hung up and beaten with shoe soles was because he did not return home at night.
The second time he was hung up and beaten with a belt was because he missed breakfast.
Well, it all happened in one day.
Afterwards, Enmlai Ke recuperated for a week.
Then……
All clubs in Haliste open from 7pm to 5pm.
Some people are dissatisfied with this.
Some people also praised it.
then?
For the third time, Enmlek was hung up and whipped with the scabbard of the sword by the Grand Duke, and once again disappeared from the club in Halest for a week.
The second son of the Grand Duke did not want to be hung up and beaten for the fourth time.
He immediately raised his hands to surrender to his father.
"I think you should get married."
"Wait..."
“Ah, Brother-sama!”
"I saw my brother!"
Before the Grand Duke finished speaking, Enmlai K shouted exaggeratedly, pointed forward, and galloped away on his horse.
And Goethe?
Respond faster.
When Enmlai.K shouted, he had already run straight to the tall figure that had just appeared in his sight.
Simlai stood on the side of the Bear Castle with a simple entourage.
When he saw his two younger brothers riding towards him, the serious man raised his lips.
Before the two war horses stopped, he strode over, raised his hand and pinned the two horses to the ground - not only with brute force, but also with cleverness.
The two war horses stopped steadily without any impact.
As soon as Goethe and Enmrek got off the horse, Simrek held them in his arms and patted their backs. The two people, who were not short, were like children standing in front of Simrek.
Bang, bang, bang!
Amid the muffled sound, Enmlai Ke's face turned pale.
Goethe felt this harmless blow, which was enough to kill an ordinary person. He couldn't help but be thankful that he had a body that was 20+ times stronger than an ordinary person. Otherwise , he would have felt as uncomfortable as Enmlek at this moment.
"Enmulai, you have to exercise moderation."
After slapping three times, Simlai Ke said seriously.
"Got it, Brother!"
Enmlai Ke did not argue and nodded obediently.
One of the traditions of the Ke family: when the father is not around, the eldest brother becomes the father and can exercise the father's rights to discipline the children.
"Goethe, yes."
“Great progress!”
"I was worried about the challenge you publicized before, but now it seems that there is no problem at all!"
Simlaik looked at the smile on Goethe's lips, which became brighter and brighter.
Is there anything more joyful than seeing the progress of my younger brothers?
That means the progress is beyond expectations!
Simlai could feel the strength of Goethe's body, which was not inferior even when compared with the extreme second-level and near-perfect third-level professionals.
Under this premise, his previous arrangements were no longer necessary - he had originally planned to go to Fapol for a "walk" and find those Fapol nobles to "borrow" some physical enhancement potions for Goethe to take.
Now it is no longer necessary.
"Father!"
The eldest son of the Grand Duke patted his two younger brothers on the shoulders and went to greet the incoming team.
The Archduke jumped off his horse and hugged and patted his eldest son on the back.
Bang bang bang!
This muffled sound is much louder than before.
From Goethe's perspective, the air seemed to be distorted by the beating.
Is this a way to check on your family's progress?
Goethe thought in his heart.
Enmlai K on the side came over, his lips did not move, and his voice was clearly heard by Goethe -
"Have you ever seen a 10-year-old boy grow to 1.9 meters?"
"No?"
"Then let's go and see my brother."
"I saw with my own eyes that when my elder brother was 10 years old, he knocked a grown brown bear to the ground and took honey out of its mouth."
Goethe's face showed surprise.
"You are surprised, too?"
"Gerjir and I are of the same bloodline, but we are both adults and only 1.9 meters tall. But what about my elder brother? Although I haven't measured him, I estimate that he is at least 2.5 meters tall."
"Sometimes, Gejier and I both doubt whether we are biological children!"
Enmlai.K sighed.
Goethe couldn't help but speak out.
"No, I don't care about that. I want to ask where the honey comes from? Is it sweet?"
Enmlai Ke couldn't hold it anymore.
But before the Grand Duke's second son could open his mouth again, he was hit hard on the back of his head by the Grand Duke.
"You're just imagining nonsense!"
"Simulai, you should inherit more of my good qualities, and you and Gejier should inherit more of Jasmine's good qualities. No, your mother is only 1.5 meters tall, but she is pretty. So, your current height and looks are a combination of the advantages of both of us."
The two-meter-tall duke corrected himself as he spoke.
"What about my brother?"
Enmlai Ke resisted the urge to roll his eyes in front of his father.
"Simu is coming?"
"Maybe he inherited it from your grandfather or grandmother - yes, it must have been passed down from your grandmother. After all, your grandfather is only a normal height, but your grandmother is two meters tall!"
The Archduke began to justify himself.
This time, Enlaike really couldn't help himself and rolled his eyes.
Inherited from the previous generation?
He is the reincarnation of the devil!
The Grand Duke's second son was still thinking about it when he was hit on the back of his head by the Grand Duke again.
Bang!
It's crisp and loud, just like slapping a melon.
Goethe and Simlek walked side by side behind.
Goethe couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
He didn't hate the atmosphere of the Ke family.
On the contrary, after confirming that the Grand Duke was really 'his' relative, he gradually began to like this 'family' atmosphere - although there were some rules, everyone was not calculating, the fathers were serious but not rigid, the eldest brother was tall and mighty, and guarded the home with his father, and although the younger sister was not lively, she was cute and pretty.
As for Enmlai.K and Gejier?
Well, part of the family.
A very ordinary one.
Goethe emphasized.
Then, Goethe, who was moving forward, felt something strange in his mind and body at the same time, and subconsciously, he turned his head to look.
There were quite a lot of people gathered near the city gate.
These people all gathered because of his declaration of "Level 2 is invincible, welcome to fight. "
I'm curious.
There is a look.
But this kind of gaze would not attract Goethe's attention. Only the probing gaze or malice would cause his reaction.
Just now, someone in the crowd was looking at him with an inquiring gaze.
Goethe's eyes scanned.
There are just too many people in front of me.
He couldn't find the target.
The Grand Duke, who was walking in front, had a friendly smile on his face as he greeted the people gathered at the gate of Bear Castle.
"Old Finch, bring me the wine you brewed later."
"Kerr, your honey is the best I have ever tasted."
"Sater, the armor you made is really good. It saved the lives of many of my soldiers. I'll treat you to a drink tonight - everyone come, I'll treat everyone to barbecue and wine!"
"Of course, there's only enough meat, but not too much wine!"
"After all, if you all drink, I won't have any to drink!"
The Grand Duke's words made everyone present burst into laughter.
"Come, let me introduce my nephew, Goethe, to you all."
The Archduke said this and pulled Goda over.
Immediately, Goethe received a warm welcome.
"Your Highness Goethe, come on!"
"We believe in you, you can do it!"
"Kick those Fabol chickens in the ass!"
No one in the crowd questioned Goethe's declaration of "second-order invincibility".
On the contrary, they are all supportive.
Looking at those kind, smiling faces, Goethe suddenly understood why the Grand Duke chose to implement this plan in Xiongbao - because this was the "root" of the K family.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
This is the truth!
So……
What will happen when water becomes a boat?
'Invincible'!
The word popped into Goethe's mind.
He immediately imitated the Grand Duke and responded to the people around him.
With his excellent memory, Goethe had already firmly remembered the way the Archduke addressed these people. And when Goethe accurately called out each person's name, the cheers of the people around him became louder and louder.
Lord Scrooge watched all this with a smile on his face, and he made a gesture with his hands behind his back.
Simlaik's tall figure disappeared silently in the team.
Also disappearing with him were two captains of the Grand Duke's Guard.
The team walked and stopped.
More and more people gathered around Archduke Scrooge and Goethe.
But it's not crowded.
The reason why they have to stop and go is that the road is too narrow. Even if they queue in an orderly manner, it is difficult to move smoothly.
However, the Grand Duke did not scold.
After telling everyone to be careful, she walked arm in arm with a strong man next to her who was dressed in ordinary clothes and had stains on his hands - Goethe remembered the man's name.
Sartre was a blacksmith.
When they arrived at the gate of the inner castle of Xiongbao, the Grand Duke finally ended his chat with Sartre, turned around and said loudly -
"Party tonight!"
"Everyone come!"
"good!"
"I will definitely come!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Then, it quickly dispersed.
They also need to prepare.
The people of Xiongburg would not eat the Grand Duke's barbecue for free. They would also bring out their own specialties for the Grand Duke and his children to taste.
The crowd dispersed.
This team that came all the way from Halest also began a short rest.
The town girl helped Gejier down from the carriage and limped towards the inner castle.
The girl from the small town blushed and felt a little embarrassed, and she was even more cautious when supporting Gejil.
But Gjerkir?
His expression was a little cold.
Seems to be keeping distance.
It looks like I'm injured and that's why I have to ask you for help.
Swart woke up.
"Where is my room?"
"I'm going to get some sleep first."
"Call me at dinner time."
“So sleepy.”
Having said these words, Swart was taken to the room by the waiter.
Goethe walked towards the third carriage where Xila was. As soon as he approached, he felt a hint of heat.
The heat came from inside the carriage.
Goethe frowned slightly, and after his body blocked the view of the surroundings just right, he opened the carriage door.
Sheila was still in a coma, lying on her back.
And, as Goethe had guessed, because of the heat, Sheila's clothes were in disarray.
Goethe took off his cloak and covered Xila with it. After wrapping her tightly, he carried Xila out of the carriage and shook her twice. When he found that Xila was still asleep, Goethe held her under his armpit and walked towards the inner castle.
When the Grand Duke saw this scene, the smile in his eyes became even more intense.
When the parents of both parties meet, as the boy's parent, he naturally has to give a gift.
Coincidentally, I have a bottle of 'Dragon Blood Essence' on hand.
Xila's teacher looked at this 'Dragon Blood Essence' more than once.
As the boy's parent, he naturally has to be more generous.
Of course I gave it.
However, it is not given for free.
At least, the relationship is settled—at the parent’s level.
and……
What was given away also came back to one's hands.
In the eyes of the Grand Duke, if Shila used the "Dragon Blood Essence", it would be the same as if his own family members used it, there would be no difference.
After all, Goethe is now in too strong a physical condition.
If Xila doesn't keep up, how will the Ke family expand in the future?
He, Scrooge, wanted to have more grandchildren.
At least 10 to start!
It would be great if there were 100!
It’s a total win-win!
The Grand Duke thought happily in his heart.
However, the Grand Duke frowned afterwards.
because--
He saw someone who shouldn't be here at all!
