Volume 3: The Secret of the Door Chapter 16 Identity and Digging Traps!
Collide?
Hearing the other party's words, Goethe narrowed his eyes.
He has not forgotten how he became a freshman at the academy - "You suffered a car accident, lost your memory, and became a freshman at the academy after waking up..."
This was the note he obtained when he entered the 'secret realm'.
Moreover, his main quest is also [Find your lost memories]!
"The so-called 'car accident', was it me being hit by the 'convoy'?"
Naturally , such thoughts came to Goethe's mind.
Just as this thought appeared in Goethe's mind, scenes began to appear.
On the train, 'he' pretended to be friendly and chatted with the members of the action team.
After arriving at the academy, he chose the more difficult academy and gave the easy Paradise Hotel to his former classmates.
His classmate led a group of people to the Paradise Hotel.
And 'he'?
Heading towards the 'college'.
'He' was looking for the 'Principal's Office'.
He is...
graduate.
The 'graduate' that was once mentioned in the notebook!
When these images appeared in his mind, Goethe almost cursed in his heart.
He never imagined that he would be the "graduate" mentioned, the guy with the "spy identity" - this was not a guess, but in the simple picture, there really was a "spy course", and unlike others who had the identity of a spy before entering the "college", "he" became a spy after becoming a graduate.
Tsk!
I thought I was just an ordinary person.
I didn't expect there was such an identity.
Is this a blind spot trap?
Goethe thought to himself.
Obviously, if he had not 'accidentally taken control of the Paradise Hotel' but had left in a 'convoy', he would most likely have discovered the truth.
However, at that time, you will need to face the outside world.
Difficulty?
It should be much lower than it is now.
After all, according to his research on the nearly 42-year history of the secret realm in front of him, the technological level of this world is just like that before World War I. Although a lot of the mysterious side remains, it has not reached the level of the 'anchor world', and is even much lower than the 'fighting world'. The reason why it looks higher than the 'fighting world' in the starry sky is because of the existence of the 'academy', which directly raises the concentration of the mysterious side.
This is the premise.
Goethe's life outside was not entirely smooth sailing, but he was like a fish in water, unlike the feeling of being "stuck" here.
Fortunately, I was lucky.
He unexpectedly broke the impasse with the [Spirit of Blood Crow].
Got a better start than outside.
Of course, it’s also worth paying attention to.
For example: Memory!
At this moment, these memories were the only things he saw in the picture.
How did 'he' get hit?
What 'he' went through in 'college'.
None at all!
besides!
"'The principal's office'!"
Goethe thought and glanced at the main task.
[Find your lost memories: progress 30%]
The extremely clear prompt made Goethe's mouth curl up.
He looked at the extremely nervous flight attendant in front of him, and imitated her, lowering his voice.
"If it's not intentional, then it's sincere?"
"No!"
"No!"
"I was driving for the exhausted conductor. I didn't expect you to suddenly appear. I didn't have time to brake and I knocked you away. I was very scared and didn't dare to stop the car. I just left."
"sorry!"
The flight attendant waved her hands repeatedly, and her voice sounded like tears.
At this time, Edward and Van der Sar came over together.
"What's the matter, Mordow?"
Van der Sar seemed to be asking a question, but in fact he was pointing out Goethe's identity.
The conductor Edward, who was about to say something, shuddered all over when he heard the name "Moldod", and looked at Goethe in disbelief.
Then he looked at Jerry behind Goethe.
The next moment, a light burst out from the conductor's eyes.
Goethe was all too familiar with such a look.
He has seen it almost every day in recent days.
Every guy with ulterior motives would show such a look after learning his identity as 'Moldod'.
Both surprised and greedy.
And full of jealousy.
Goethe was not surprised that the conductor Edward would show such a look.
It is almost certain that the other party, as the person in charge of the "team", has a special identity.
What surprised Goethe was Van der Sar's reminder to the opponent.
Full of goodwill.
Is Van der Sar in cahoots with the other party?
Goethe guessed.
Similarly, Goethe guessed that after 'he' had a car accident, it wasn't Van der Sar who helped deal with the aftermath?
Goethe thought in his heart but did not show it.
"nothing."
“I just found something interesting.”
Goethe smiled at Van der Sar, then looked at the young, even immature flight attendant again, and said, "Hey, since you apologized, do you have to give me some compensation?"
After saying that, Goethe picked up the canned peaches and pears and put them in Jerry's hands.
"We're even."
Goethe said, turning and walking towards the next stall.
He ignored Van der Sar and the conductor Edward.
Because he knew that the initiative was in his hands.
The other party will definitely follow.
In fact, this is true.
"Wait, Lord Mordood."
When Goethe had taken less than two steps away, the conductor Edward spoke.
Goethe turned around and looked at the other person.
"Would you like some tea and some snacks?"
Edward asked.
"Can."
Goethe nodded.
And with Goethe's nod, several strong stewards immediately took action, bringing a huge parasol, a small round table in natural wood color and two chairs, as well as the refreshments mentioned by Edward.
These are arranged on the side of the train, away from the crowd.
The conductor Edward did not invite Goethe on board.
After taking control of the 'Paradise Hotel', Goethe also refused to go to unfamiliar places.
As for Van der Sar?
After seeing that there were only two chairs, he tactfully said goodbye to Goethe and the conductor Edward.
"Come and taste the tea picked from Earl Tim's estate."
"His fermentation technology is truly second to none in the empire."
Edward said with a smile as he poured tea for Goethe.
Count Tim, a nobleman from the southern part of the empire, had a great many family businesses, but was most famous for tea, and was called the Count of Black Tea. Goethe saw similar explanations in those materials. Of course, the reason why he appeared in the history of the past 42 years was because his sister married the crown prince at the time, now the emperor, and his title was promoted from baron to earl.
However, what made Goethe remember the other person was something else.
"It's been a long time since I drank the black tea from this lord's family. The last time I drank it, this lord had not yet inherited the position of baron, but now he has become an earl. Time flies so fast."
Goethe took a sip.
The tea soup is bright in color and has a rich flavor with a hint of lemon and honey.
The taste is quite good.
"Hahaha, it's all thanks to our queen. She is well-known for her love for me. Our majesty also loves me and my family. Of course, during the Burke Expedition, this earl also gave his all for the royal family, so he deserves the title."
The conductor was full of disdain when mentioning the queen.
However, when talking about Earl Tim himself, the conductor spoke with a hint of admiration.
The Burke Expedition was a rebellion that broke out twenty years ago in a rural area of Burke County, overseas in the empire.
At first, the empire didn't take it seriously.
After all, Burke County is only a tiny bit in the territory of the empire, not to mention a remote countryside under the jurisdiction of Burke County.
Immediately, the Empire ordered the garrison in Burke County to quell the rebellion.
But a month later, news came that the local garrison had been defeated and the entire Burke County had fallen.
The empire was shocked at the time and immediately sent out legions to suppress it.
But it still failed.
The Second and Sixth Guards Armies all failed.
For a time, the whole empire was in an uproar. Facing the third expedition, there were voices of opposition in the empire, but Earl Tim stood firmly on the side of his brother-in-law. He was willing to use the family's century-old wealth as military expenses, support the third expedition, and join this expedition.
As a result, the Eighth Guards Army won a great victory.
Baron Tim also became Earl Tim and also held the title of General.
When reading this history, Goethe always felt a sense of conspiracy.
Just a gut feeling.
But for him whose [Heart] reached 9.3, this was enough.
Even without more information.
But Goethe remembered Count Tim.
"The Earl was busy with his family business and had no intention of intervening. On the contrary, the Queen made stupid moves one after another. Every time, the Earl had to step in to calm things down. Even our Majesty felt a headache and ignored the Queen for a long time, which made her even worse ."
"She even wants to get involved in the 'college'."
It seemed like just a casual chat, but once the topic changed, it got to the point.
Goethe sneered in his heart.
Any comments on the 'Queen'?
He didn't believe a word of it.
Getting involved in the 'college'?
I'm afraid it's not the queen, it should be Earl Tim.
Otherwise, how would the queen dare?
Someone who can become a queen may be naive, but someone who has been a queen for decades is definitely not a fool.
As for the emperor?
It should be...
cooperate!
After all, according to the information Goethe saw, this emperor did not really hold all the power.
There are other people in the royal family who are watching this place and restraining each other.
Goethe understood all of this, but he still cooperated with the other party and pointed at himself.
"For example: this body of mine?"
Goethe asked.
There is no way the other party would say so much for no reason.
Since I have said so much, there must be a reason.
Goethe could not think of any other spy identity except "Graduate".
"That's right."
"Your body and the other guy have become pawns of our Queen. This is not the first time the other party has done this , but our Queen would never have imagined what happened."
At this point, the conductor smiled with glee.
Is it the opposite of the Queen's faction?
Such a smile made Goethe guess.
"I have to thank the queen."
Goethe said casually.
"She will definitely not accept your thanks. After all, your appearance has disrupted her plan, which she thought was perfect and 100% successful. She will definitely be furious."
"but……"
"Your Majesty will not!"
The conductor said with a smile.
His Majesty?
The emperor!
Is this a stable situation in which he indulges his wife, lets his brother-in-law go, and supports a group that he considers to be "righteous"?
Should we say he is worthy of being the emperor?
Goethe thought but said nothing.
The conductor did not hesitate, but took out a notebook from the box at his feet and gently placed it in front of Goethe.
"These are your memories from your time at the 'College'."
"There was a misunderstanding between us, and Abby was unintentional. I am willing to compensate you to the best of my ability. I just hope you don't resent us - Abby is my nephew and my only child."
Um?
My nephew, or my only child?
Ouyang Feng?
Goethe immediately looked at the conductor in front of him again.
Judging from the other person's sloppy appearance, it is hard to imagine that he has a descendant as pretty as Abby.
"Boys, they take after their mothers."
The conductor rubbed his red nose.
“Jerry.”
Goethe called out to the female puppet.
Jerry immediately took the notebook in his hands.
The reason why Goethe didn't take it himself was because he was worried that if he touched the notebook, his memory would be restored. Once his memory was restored, he would have to leave the "secret place" in front of him.
Come back again?
I don’t know when that will be.
Moreover, his purpose has not yet been accomplished.
"I won't resent you."
"Because, I accept Abby's apology."
Goethe pointed at the canned peaches and pears in Jerry's hand, and continued in the surprised eyes of the conductor, "This notebook is not very important to me, but since you gave it to me, for the sake of fairness, I will tell you a definite news - the reason why I was able to get the potion and alchemy classrooms out of the 'college' is because I refined the [Elixir of Life]."
"This news was worth a lot a few days ago."
"Now?"
“It’s still worth something.”
"It should be more than enough to replace it."
Having said this, Goethe picked up his teacup again to give the conductor on the other side time to digest the news.
After a moment, the conductor recovered from his shock.
"Sir, what do you need in order to tell us the formula?"
"I swear in the name of His Majesty, we will do our best!"
The other party said in a loud voice.
After waiting for a long time, Goethe finally heard this sentence and smiled.
"All the things related to the 'Principal' in the outside world, whether they belong to him or his descendants, as long as you find 20 of them, I will tell you the formula."
"Of course, if you can find the Philosopher's Stone, I can tell you right away."
"but……"
At this point, Godela lengthened his tone.
He looked at the conductor who was listening, and at Van der Sar, Woody and others who seemed to be indifferent but were actually paying close attention here, and began to dig a hole.
He lowered his voice and said -
"Be careful with the Philosopher's Stone. It's scary."
