In the whale's stomach, Goethe turned over and sat up, but did not look at the [Ring of the Mad King] at the first time, but added [Good Luck] to himself again.
Over the past week, piling up "good luck" has become Goethe's instinctive behavior.
Goethe was well aware of the situation he was facing.
If I am found by that guy again, I won't be able to escape as easily as before.
The previous 'water man' was just a puppet of the opponent.
Reappearing now?
Of course it’s the other person himself.
Goethe still remembers the various magical powers displayed by the "water man".
Not just an attack that went against the common sense he knew.
besides……
storm!
That’s right!
It's a storm!
That is beyond the scope of human power. Even a legendary strong man cannot create it. Even if it is a ceremony, it is only on a small scale. It is quite amazing to cover a city with a population of one million.
And how big is the inner bay?
They set out from Schomburg, passed through the island of Calgaronne, and then went to the Marne port in Fabol, which took about two weeks if everything went smoothly.
Such a large-scale "storm", man-made?
Goethe had never heard of it!
But it just showed up!
This forced Goethe to think of the worst.
Because, in some biographical myths, 'gods' are able to do such things.
Goethe didn't know whether the other party was a god.
But he knew that he was now facing a guy who was like a "god".
Facing such a guy, Goethe would never confront him head-on without complete confidence.
So, he stacked [Good Luck] to allow himself to hide more smoothly while waiting for the cooldown of [Ring of the Mad King].
This week, he lived every minute and every second in fear.
There were several times when his [heart] felt extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, good luck always accompanies him, and he finally got through it safely.
Now!
It's finally time to get rid of it!
The [Ring of the Mad King] on the index finger of his left hand was shining with a light that only Goethe could see.
In the deep night sky, the 'stars' representing the secret realm changed once again.
The secret realm representing folk customs began to become alienated. After the alienation, it was slightly higher than the red stars and its color turned purple.
At this moment, the seven stars turned into a slightly weird 'F' shape. The main trunk started from the dim star representing the 'Doomsday Madness Secret Realm', passing through the white 'Fighting Secret Realm', the gray 'Unknown Secret Realm', the black 'Unknown Secret Realm', and the red 'Unknown Secret Realm'. Between the black and red, there extended a black and red star representing the 'Poirot Marple's Writing Career', and above the red was a red and purple star representing the 'Folk Secret Realm'.
"After being transformed, is it more dangerous than red?"
Goethe gasped.
He was already familiar with the arrangement of the secret realms in the [Ring of the Mad King].
The secret realm represented by the dim stars is safe.
As the color changes, the danger begins to increase.
Red was previously the most dangerous.
Now something even more dangerous had appeared, causing Goethe to immediately give up the idea of ​​returning to the 'Folk Customs' secret realm - he had originally planned to rely on the foundation he had laid before and go back to continue harvesting the secret arts and [Bloody Honor].
Now it seems that I have to give up.
Because, just by staring at the red and purple stars, he felt as if he saw death.
Not only the red and purple, but also the red, red-black, and black stars, which represent different secret realms, he saw the shadow of death to a greater or lesser extent.
Red is the most intense.
Black is the lightest.
But that feeling of suffocation made the hairs on his back stand on end.
Immediately, Goethe chose to give up.
Naturally, Goethe's eyes turned to the gray 'Unknown Secret Realm' and the white 'Fighting Secret Realm'.
As for the gloomy 'Doomsday Madness Secret Realm'?
This place, where the danger is the lowest, was used as a refuge by Goethe.
Goethe would not activate it until the last step.
But when Goethe's eyes fell on the gray and white secret realm, his expression changed slightly.
Because, in his estimation, the white 'Fighting Secret Realm' that should be safe was filled with ominous things, and his [heart] was warning him - there was still the danger of death, although it was much less than the death threat given to him by the Black Star Secret Realm, but the feeling of death was real.
"Did the hidden room left by the 'Martial Saint' attract some scary guys?"
Goethe recalled the circumstances of his previous departure and could not help pondering.
Although he made arrangements, it was obviously unable to keep those greedy guys away.
Those guys surrounded the original martial arts gym of the 'Martial Saint', just like vicious wolves staring at their prey. Not only were they unwilling to give up, they were also waiting for the moment when their prey would let down their guard.
It only takes a moment for those guys to pounce and kill their prey with one blow.
"If I had known earlier, I would have given the Mad King's collection to these guys."
Goethe couldn't help but curl up his lips when he thought of the wonderful expressions on those guys' faces when they saw that the so-called "Martial Saint"'s collection was actually a pile of proportional dolls.
He looked towards the gray unknown secret realm.
With the addition of [good luck], his 'inspiration' is extremely clear.
There is no shadow of death.
It means there is no fatal danger.
And when he saw the gray unknown secret realm, Goethe smelled the sweet and tempting smell again, just like a cream cake - he had smelled it before in the secret realm representing "fighting".
And that time, he had a "good harvest".
Without hesitation, Goethe took out his specially made 'Pendulum' and began to confirm further.
"Can this solve my current problem?"
The gold coin with the Mad King's portrait on it is still different.
After three or four seconds, it began to rotate very weakly clockwise.
Obviously, there is a solution to the current crisis, but it is difficult to obtain.
In fact, it is basically impossible.
Goethe was not discouraged by this, thinking that something is better than nothing.
He continued to ask.
"Is there any fatal danger to me here?"
Although 'inspiration' told him no, Goethe habitually made further confirmation out of caution.
The gold coin still paused for a moment.
But unlike before, this time there is no rotation.
Neither clockwise nor counterclockwise.
It just hung there in the air.
"Unknown?"
"Does it mean that I might suffer fatal harm because of some of my actions?"
Goethe frowned.
Then he asked again.
"Will I gain a lot of [Bloody Honor] here ?"
This time, the pendulum did not stop at all and started to rotate clockwise.
Looking at this extremely affirmative answer, Goethe breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of this accident, he had no chance to upgrade to Berserker, the required item 5 and the additional option, and had to use [Bloody Honor] instead.
The unexpected expenditure of 9 copies of "Bloody Honor" suddenly made Goethe, who only had 13 copies of "Bloody Honor", stretched to the limit.
This was because he had already taken a portion of 'Spiritual Stone Stalactite' when he was in Xiongbao. Otherwise, it would have exceeded the upper limit of his tolerance.
"Maybe I can go and complete option 5?"
"After all, I have the sea map that Simlai K gave me. Once I get there, I can quickly kill a giant..."
Calculating the amount of [Bloody Honor], Goethe, who was a bit "thrifty", couldn't help but feel lucky.
Suddenly, a feeling of oppression appeared in his heart.
Mixed with the breath of death.
Moreover, even if Goethe gave up this idea, this sense of oppression still existed.
In fact, it's getting stronger and stronger.
"not good!"
"That guy is here!"
Goethe was shocked and without hesitation, he chose the gray star.
Immediately, Goethe disappeared.
And in the next second, Goethe disappeared.
puff!
With the sound of flesh being cut, the whale was split into two.
Nice, holding a trident, looked around.
Goethe was not found among the flesh and blood, which made Nice very angry.
It just occurred to him that Goethe might be hiding in the belly of a large fish.
Immediately, he took action.
I completely ignored it and wondered why it took me so long to think of this possibility.
He just knew.
If there is nothing in this whale's belly, then Goethe must be hiding in another whale's belly.
"Hide! Hide!"
"I will definitely find you!"
As he said this, Nice's body merged into the sea water and rushed towards the next large fish.
…
After a slight feeling of dizziness, Goethe appeared in a room of about 10 square meters.
At his feet was a large travel bag, containing all the items including the [Blood Slaughter Blade].
He raised his head and looked at the bunk bed beside him, his eyes moving one by one from the two desks opposite the bed, two wooden wardrobes, a wooden chair, and a gas lamp that required a coin to operate.
Finally, it stopped at the door on the wall.
The door was open and the bathroom faucet could be clearly seen.
Although the sense of age was different, the layout was so familiar that Goethe was startled.
"dormitory?"
Then, lines of text began to appear before his eyes——

"Admission instructions?"
Goethe frowned and looked at the papers on the desk on the left in front of him.
The pale yellow parchment had beautiful cursive writing on it:

…
Looking at the words on the parchment, Goethe couldn't help but frown.
Not only was the 'secret realm' before him somewhat beyond his expectations, but what surprised Goethe even more was that as he read these words, his [heart] began to make a series of judgments.
Although he passed every judgment, Goethe had a bad feeling.
Then, the parchment in his hand burst into flames and burned directly.
Goethe immediately let go.
Suddenly, the parchment fell to the ground and burned even more vigorously.
It burned cleanly in a breath .
That’s right!
It’s so clean!
There was not even a speck of dust left on the ground.
Goethe frowned even more tightly.
At this time——
Dong, Dongdong!
"Check the dorm."
There was a very rhythmic knock on the door, and a rather indifferent voice was heard.
Goethe opened the door and saw a young male teacher wearing a nameplate standing outside.
The other person was wearing a teacher's suit, had a neatly trimmed beard, and a nameplate on his chest that read "Woody".
"Freshman, you should change into your school uniform as soon as possible and go to the auditorium."
Looking at Goethe in casual clothes, the teacher frowned.
Goethe ignored him and picked up the travel bag containing his personal belongings. He looked at the teacher with a smile and said clearly: "Teacher, I want to withdraw from school!"
