Volume 3: The Secret of the Door Chapter 28 First meeting!
The old emperor rushed out of the southern security office, rushed out of the damaged gate of the 'Academy', and headed directly towards the 'Paradise Hotel'.
The skull of the eldest son of the 'Principal' Modeus in his hand told him that the 'Principal's Office' was there.
Likewise, Moldow was there.
"Damn it, Moldod!"
The old emperor cursed with a distorted face.
At this moment, the old emperor no longer had his previous calmness and composure.
Although he was also surprised when Mordod reappeared, he did not take him seriously - because, the opponent who obtained the 'Paradise Hotel' by luck could not possibly touch the 'Academy'.
What happened forty-two years ago was simply an accident.
And the guy who caused the accident?
Already dead!
That 'Principal' Modeus is no longer in this world!
Therefore, the old emperor firmly believed that what happened forty-two years ago would not happen again.
This was especially confirmed when he obtained the skeleton of the eldest son of the "Principal" Modeus.
It was also confirmed that the 'riddle' left by 'Principal' Modeus was impossible to crack, and if it could not be cracked, it would be impossible to enter the 'Principal's Office'.
Therefore, if you want to enter, you need to find another way.
unless……
It is using 'bloodline'!
This is a secret technique circulated within the royal family!
It was originally intended to identify whether the child was his own, but he slightly changed some of the rituals to give it the characteristics of "bloodline" inheritance.
However, this inherited trait requires sufficient blood concentration to be completed.
To achieve perfection, an exaggerated blood concentration is required.
The degree is almost like copying oneself.
The old emperor naturally did not have such ability, but he could use the secret power of the royal family to find as many descendants of "Principal" Modeus as possible in this world.
Then……
All of them are used to refine the bones in hand.
It is precisely because of this that the bones in his hands have various magical effects in the 'Academy'.
Go to the 'Principal's Office', what should I do if I don't have a key?
Someone else might look for the key.
But the old emperor was different. He was habitually domineering, so he just made a key!
Everything was the same as before and was not beyond his control!
Can--
"Moldod!"
The old emperor growled again.
He didn't know how Mordow got into the 'Principal's Office'.
He only knew that he wanted the other person to die.
Die without leaving any trace!
He believed he could do it!
It's the same even if the other party owns the 'Paradise Hotel'!
He believed that as long as the other party did not truly control the 'Academy', he would definitely not be a match for him, who had the skeleton of the eldest son blessed with the blood of many descendants of 'Principal' Modus.
He firmly believes this.
So, when the old emperor saw Goethe appear in front of him, he raised the bones in his hand without thinking.
"Kneel down and repent!"
"otherwise……"
"You will fall into the abyss forever!"
The old emperor was filled with murderous intent.
The skull in his hand emitted an extremely rich, bloody glow.
Bright red figures appeared and disappeared in the bloody light.
Eight dishes in total.
Either high or low.
Either male or female.
Not exactly the same.
But one thing is the same.
That is, each of them possessed a terrifying aura, and each of them made the faces of Van der Sar and Count Tim who were chasing them change drastically.
Because the two of them could clearly sense that any one of these eight figures could easily tear them apart.
"Are these... the descendants of 'Principal'?"
"asshole!"
"You actually used 'blood sacrifice'!"
The old woman made out what was going on for a moment, then she uttered a sharp cry, and the old emperor began to laugh as she uttered it.
"They are useless if they are alive. Why not let me make use of them? I have sacrificed the blood of tens of thousands of people for each of them. Each of them has become countless times stronger than when they were alive. What's wrong with that?"
Earl Tim was stunned when hearing the old emperor's words.
Eight figures.
Eighty thousand people were sacrificed in blood.
this……
Burke Expedition!
In an instant, the middle-aged earl thought of the war that made him famous.
Because the Second and Sixth Guards Army sent to suppress the rebellion had exactly 80,000 people.
Moreover, during his third expedition, he did not find the whereabouts of the Second and Sixth Guards, not even a single body. The rebel leader at the time said to him with a very strange expression, "You will never know!"
He still remembers the other person's expression and words clearly.
Even, I have been thinking about the meaning of it.
More importantly, he was worried that the other party had some conspiracy.
But now?
There is a conspiracy.
But it's not the other person's.
Even the opponent himself is just a chess piece.
The so-called Burkeshire Rebellion was a setup.
The real planner was his respected brother-in-law, the Emperor.
The sister who was willing to give him a lot of help, who didn't care about the rumors and only knew how to tolerate and spoil him, and the brother-in-law, His Majesty the Emperor, who loved him as much as his family.
"His Majesty?"
Count Tim looked at the old emperor, his voice trembling.
At this moment, the middle-aged earl thought of more.
For example: My sister becomes more unreasonable and unfamiliar as time goes by.
“You can’t get what you want when you can’t give up something.”
“I’m very optimistic about you, Tim.”
"You are one of my favorite heirs, even though you seem naive and weak sometimes."
The old emperor glanced at Earl Tim and said this.
"My sister, she..."
"I've told you before, sometimes you're too naive and weak. If you can let go of that, you'll be my only heir!"
The old emperor interrupted the middle-aged earl.
The ruthlessness in his eyes was chilling.
Huff, huff.
The middle-aged earl's breathing became rapid and he clenched the cane in his hand.
"I just want to know, what happened to my sister?"
The middle-aged earl emphasized.
"she?"
"very good."
"It's just that he has to bear the backlash of the 'Academy' on my behalf, and has become a little crazy and unreasonable. When I become the master of the 'Academy', everything will be fine."
"I kill you!"
Faced with the old emperor's matter-of-fact words, Earl Tim rushed forward with a roar.
But the next moment——
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Earl Tim flew back at a faster speed, fell to the ground, and spurted out another mouthful of blood.
"Ah, Tim, you really disappoint me. I originally thought that you were just naive and weak, but I didn't expect that you were unable to calmly analyze the situation at hand. With the eight of them here, no one can hurt me in the 'Academy'."
"I am the master here!"
"I am the emperor of the empire!"
The old emperor raised his hands and announced loudly.
The overwhelming momentum caused the ground to shake slightly.
The invisible strong wind blew in all directions.
"I am the master here!"
"'College' is mine!"
"I won't let anyone get their hands on it!"
Facing the old emperor who seemed to be in charge of everything, the old woman still refused to give in. The obsession in her heart made her look at Alan, Count Tim, and Goethe.
"Let's join forces!"
"Let's take this bastard down together!"
"What happened next..."
"We'll talk about it later!"
The old woman suggested.
"certainly!"
Alan was the first to respond.
Earl Tim wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then stood up. He gently twisted his palm, and a long and narrow sword appeared in his hand.
Although there are no words, the actions speak for themselves.
Only Goethe remained silent.
This scene surprised the old woman.
In her opinion, both Goethe and Alan should be the most steadfast allies at this stage.
Because both of them are determined to win the "College".
Especially Goethe!
Goethe had already gained partial control of the 'Academy' and it was impossible for him to give it up.
But why didn't Goethe speak?
Is Goethe going to give up?
The old woman was secretly worried.
As for Earl Tim?
A simple guy, not taken seriously by the old woman at all.
Such people have no other role at all except being cannon fodder and scapegoats.
"Hahaha!"
"There is always a shortage of smart people in this world!"
"Moldod, I am surprised by your wise choice, but I am happy to accept your allegiance... Hand over the Paradise Inn to me and take me to the Principal's Office."
"After this, you will be one of my subjects."
The old emperor laughed out loud.
He spoke to Goethe in an imperative tone.
"Moldod, don't believe him!"
the old woman shouted quickly.
The old woman wanted to say more, but was entangled by two "bloody spirits" and never had the chance to speak again.
Looking at the clumsy old woman, the old emperor sneered.
He turned and looked at Goethe.
"Let's go."
As he said this, the old emperor was about to take a step forward.
After taking two steps, he found that Goethe didn't move at all, but was looking at him with a strange look.
It was like looking at... a fool.
The old emperor frowned.
"lead the way!"
The old emperor spoke again.
And this time, Goethe spoke.
He sighed softly.
"Have you not noticed any changes?"
Goethe asked, spreading his hands.
From the moment the other party saw him, the Principal's Power III kept flashing, constantly absorbing the other party's vitality, especially when the other party seemed to be generous and said words like "I am happy to accept your loyalty", the absorption speed was ten times faster than before.
There was no doubt that the other party had no intention of letting him go.
In fact, the malice became more intense.
Only in this way can such an effect be achieved.
Moreover, with the use of the Principal's Rights III, Goethe discovered even more.
Under the Principal's Power III, the people whose vitality is being sucked away seem to be unaware of it.
It's like boiling a frog in warm water.
By the time it is truly discovered, it will be death.
Goethe expressed his approval of the Mad King's arrangement.
He really likes this worry-free and labor-saving 'way of fighting'.
Finally got something done!
Goethe commented on the 'Mad King'.
The old emperor, who was reminded by Goethe, seemed to be suddenly awakened.
"Um?"
"what happened?"
"This is?"
Feeling the changes inside his body, the old emperor panicked.
But there is no way!
Because the old emperor suddenly found that he, who was already old, was getting even older.
Even moving became extremely difficult.
No!
It even becomes difficult to breathe!
"I!"
The old emperor wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground with his back facing the sky, and his breathing became extremely weak.
It was at this time that the old woman and Earl Tim discovered that the old emperor under the scarlet light looked several times older than before.
If he was around 60 years old before, now he looks so old that you can't tell his exact age, you can only know that he is dying.
Why did Goethe wait a moment before reminding the old emperor?
It's certainly not a kind reminder.
Goethe had no kindness toward his enemies.
He was more accustomed to letting his enemies die unclearly.
If it wasn't for verifying an idea, he would have remained silent and waited until the old emperor died.
Huh, huh!
The old emperor opened his mouth and tried to breathe, but it was no use. He could only breathe in, not out.
Death is coming.
But the old emperor hasn't given up yet.
He clenched the skull in his hand, wanting to make a last stand.
Bang!
With the sound of crisp snapping fingers, Goethe appeared beside the old emperor as if by teleportation, and with a raise of his hand he held the skeleton skull in his hand.
Skeleton Scepter: This is a special item made from the skull of the eldest son of the Mad King. The old emperor used it to kill eight descendants of the Mad King, and chose to sacrifice 80,000 people to refine it, turning the eight descendants of the Mad King into eight Bloody Spirits.
Effects: 1. Bloody Spirit; 2. Blessing; 3. Control]
Bloody Spirit: Summons eight bloody spirits with powerful attacks and defenses. They can become invisible and travel through buildings at will. Every creature facing them needs to undergo a heart rate check with a score of no less than 2. If the score fails, the creature will fall into a state of confusion or fear.
Blessing: When entering the "Academy" area, the attack and defense of the bloody spirit are increased to the "crazy" level, and it can slightly interfere with the operating rules of the "Academy"]
Control: Each time you manipulate the Bloody Spirit, you need to complete a blood sacrifice, which requires at least 200kg of fresh flesh and blood. If the blood sacrifice cannot be completed, the Bloody Spirit will go out of control and backfire.
Note: The Skeleton Scepter is a special item and cannot be taken out of the secret realm.
…
Obtained Bloody Honor x8! 】
…
Goethe looked at the Skeleton Scepter with great interest , but when he saw the mark that it could not be taken out of the secret realm, his interest immediately dropped. However, the 8 Bloody Honors made his mouth curl up.
The most important thing is that the Blood Crow Spirit actually conveyed a desire.
“An unexpected bonus.”
Goethe commented like this.
He did not let the Blood Crow Spirit devour him immediately, but instead turned his gaze towards the old emperor whose skeleton scepter had been taken away, and began to try his best to find the medicine he carried with him.
"As a thank you, I'll have someone give you a ride."
Goethe said, looking towards a distance.
At the gate of the 'College'.
The dead conductor Edward opened his eyes again.
He stood up.
Staggering towards here.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
He shouted, his shaking body gradually stabilized, and his steps became faster and faster.
When it arrived here, it roared like a wild beast.
"Your Majesty, why are you trying to harm me?"
With a roar of unwillingness, anger and resentment, the train conductor Edward pounced on the old emperor and then dragged him into the darkness.
Then, the sounds of biting and swallowing made Earl Tim shudder.
The middle-aged count looked at Goethe and wanted to say something, but facing the smiling Goethe, the middle-aged count said nothing in the end and just lowered his hat slightly.
But the old woman was different.
She was terrified.
She was puzzled.
She was confused.
She asked.
"Moldod, you?"
the old woman asked tentatively.
Goethe glanced at the Principal's Rights III which were flashing again, and sighed silently in his heart.
What great acting!
At this time, the old woman did not show the slightest malice.
There was even a hint of concern in his eyes.
But what is the reality?
I wish he would die.
Goethe didn't care about this. After all, the other party was just a temporary partner.
Compared to this temporary partner, Goethe cared more about Alan who looked calm beside him.
Goethe smiled and bowed to the other party and said:
"Ms. Alan, this is probably the first time we meet, right?"
"No, no no."
"I called you wrong, I should have addressed you as..."
"It should be 'Principal' Modeus!"
What?
The old woman and Earl Tim were shocked.
The two men stepped back quickly, looking at Alan with doubtful eyes.
They instinctively disbelieved Goethe's words.
However, they also knew that Goethe, who seemed to be in control of the 'Academy', had no need to deceive them about such matters.
But how did the famous and powerful "Principal" Modeus become Alan?
Moreover, not only the appearance has changed, but also the gender has changed.
What...is going on?
The two were full of questions.
Especially old women.
She felt that she had encountered more incredible things today than she had in the decades before.
The old emperor’s plan.
Moldaude's is superior.
Now!
Her student Alan turned out to be the missing 'Principal' Modeus!
"headmaster?"
The old woman tried to shout.
Alan ignored the old woman's call and looked at Goethe with great curiosity.
"How did you find out?"
Alan inquired.
The old woman's breath was choking.
Count Tim frowned.
Alan's rhetorical question said it all.
Alan is the missing 'Principal' Modeus.
The 'Principal' did not disappear, but turned into a female Alan, who has been hiding in the 'College'!
The two people who came to this conclusion felt their hearts sinking.
Earl Tim simply thought that he could not handle such an incident which was obviously involved in a big conspiracy.
Old woman?
That's much simpler.
She thought about everything she had done to Alan.
Suddenly, the old woman's body began to tremble.
It's scary.
The old woman was filled with fear at this moment.
"Remember when you appeared in front of me as a hamster?"
Goethe said as he checked the principal's rights III].
The Principal's Rights III, which should have been shining, was silent at this moment.
But Goethe confirmed that Alan was full of malice towards him.
“Is it some kind of mechanism?”
Goethe guessed and began to delay time.
"Hamster?"
"I confirm that my disguise is correct."
“Everything was perfect.”
Alan frowned, his clear voice filled with great confidence and confusion.
"Your transformation into a hamster was perfect, but your timing was not perfect."
Goethe reminded.
"opportunity?"
Alan became more and more confused.
“Habits are terrible.”
"Some of the things you know, I can't possibly know, and some of the things I know, you can't possibly know either. If you know information that you shouldn't know, then there is only one possibility: the information I know was originally left by 'you'."
"For example--"
"The Philosopher's Stone is the key to the Principal's Office."
Goethe said slowly.
Alan narrowed his eyes.
"Just this?"
Alan sighed.
"Isn't that enough?"
"When you suddenly appeared in front of me, everything was abrupt, and under such abruptness, any possibility became infinite. A famous detective once said that after eliminating all impossibilities, no matter how incredible the answer is, it is the truth."
"Although I really didn't expect you to choose to become a woman."
As Goethe spoke, his expression was indescribably complicated.
Only at this moment did he understand the meaning of the title 'Mad King'.
If it were him, faced with the choice between death and becoming a woman, he would most likely choose the former. After all, such a change is not just his own business, but will affect those around him.
It’s just like what the crosstalk master said, three people were reincarnated, and they could only choose turtles, two male turtles and one female turtle. It’s okay for those who chose male turtles, but what about those who chose female turtles?
Are you really not a human being anymore?
Are you really willing to give to your good brothers?
It’s too difficult!
So, Goethe chose death.
Of course, it would be best to have a third option.
For example, the big shot in charge of reincarnation said, "Forget it, just be a human being."
Unfortunately, most of the time, this kind of good thing doesn't happen.
You can only rely on yourself.
To face death.
or……
Victory over death.
In a way, the 'Mad King' should have conquered death.
But it was not a real victory, it was just a trick.
The result of taking shortcuts is the appearance of Alan.
Or maybe, Alan himself is some kind of backup plan for the "Mad King".
With the death of the original body, the backup plan becomes meaningless.
Goethe could not be sure of this.
Even if I had been observing Alan, I couldn't be sure.
But there is one thing that Goethe is certain of, 'Alan' is only a partial 'Mad King', not the complete one, otherwise, he would not be in this state, but would have already taken control of the 'Academy'.
Goethe looked at the disheveled Alan, and at this moment, Alan suddenly came back to his senses.
"Can you read my notes?"
“That’s right!”
"After all, you got the 'Paradise Inn'."
Alan asked first and answered later.
The tone was very calm and natural, as if he was just stating a statement.
But Goethe laughed.
Alan was even more "incomplete" than he had imagined, which made Goethe rule out the possibility that Alan was the "Mad King's" backup.
If Alan was the Mad King's backup, the Mad King would have told Alan more even for the sake of keeping it secret, instead of relying entirely on Alan's guesses.
besides……
The appearance of a woman!
Apart from the fact that the Mad King has awakened some indescribable hobby, there is only one possibility left: the influence of power!
The power that was about to kill the Mad King came from a certain woman or controlled a certain path, so that in order to escape from this path, the Mad King had to create Alan as a substitute, but he was worried that more would be discovered, so he did not reveal any secrets.
Who is that woman?
The answer is self-evident.
