As a [Bloody Honor] and piles of cash disappeared from the secret room in front of him, Goethe's [Steinbeck Breathing Technique] increased by one level.
[Steinbeck Breathing Technique (Introduction): When the 'Witch's Knowledge' was made public by the 'Mad King', the ancestors of the Steinbeck family were the first people to come into contact with this 'knowledge'. Although his talent was not outstanding, it was

My own experience.]
[Effect: Heart +0.2 (Basic, Entry +0.1)]
(Note: This secret technique can improve the level)
…
call!
Goethe let out a long breath.
Although the changes in [Heart] are not as direct as [Body], they are still obvious enough.
Goethe could clearly feel a sense of fullness rising from the depths of his soul.
satisfy.
Happy.
And, it becomes more and more powerful.
You must know that the change of [Heart], for Goethe, directly affects [Desolate Gaze] and [Ominous Cry].
The former is a crushing victory as long as [the heart] is strong enough.
And the latter?
Detection and combat are nearly omnipotent.
Therefore, under the premise that [Bloody Honor] was sufficient and cash was sufficient, Goethe immediately chose to upgrade again.
"[Bloody Honor] upgrades [Steinbeck Breathing Technique] to mastery level!"
With [Unarmed Combat] as a reference, Goethe knew very well that when a skill reaches the mastery level, additional options will appear. The mastery option [Trained] of [Unarmed Combat] allowed him to additionally improve [Physique].
[Steinbeck Breathing Technique] What additional options will be available when reaching the mastery level?
Goethe looked forward to it.
As the words appeared in front of him line by line, Goethe was stunned——
[Steinbeck Breathing Technique (Mastery): When the 'Witch's Knowledge' was made public by the 'Mad King', the ancestors of the Steinbeck family were the first people to come into contact with this 'knowledge'. Although his talent was not outstanding, it was
Diligent and adventurous, combined with the knowledge he learned, and through continuous practice, he found a way to improve his talent. Although the process was quite long and painful, you have now mastered this breathing method.
[Wealth Recruitment: In daily life and when facing money-related things, it will increase your wealth luck! 】
(Note: This secret technique can improve the level)
…
"[Lucky]?"
Looking at the additional mastery options in [Steinbeck Breathing Technique] in front of him, Goethe seemed to understand why the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel was so rich.
What about the additional mastery options themselves?
Goethe still liked it very much.
After all, who hates luck?
Glancing at the two remaining [Bloody Honors] and the empty secret room in front of him, Goethe sighed slightly.
[Steinbeck Breathing Technique] requires two copies of [Bloody Honor] and... 20,000 gold grams to upgrade from master level to expert level - he has the former, but the latter?
For a short time, Goethe gave up thinking about it completely.
Adding up his property in the 'Anchor World' and the two 'Secret Realms', it is estimated that it would be difficult to collect 20,000 gold grams.
Of course, if we sell [Ominous Call] or [Shadow Snake Blade], that's another story.
However, unless Goethe was crazy, it would be impossible to sell two items.
When [Steinbeck Breathing Technique] could not be improved, Goethe had no idea of accumulating [Bloody Honor].
Soon, he will face an unknown enemy.
If you still keep it at this time, you are mentally ill.
Accumulation must be converted into strength!
Goethe set his sights on ‘Celtic Blood Sacrifice: Wolf’, ‘Celtic Blood Sacrifice: Vine’ and ‘Celtic Blood Sacrifice: Flame’.
Two copies of [Bloody Honor] can learn two of them.
As for which two?
Goethe had already planned.
He chose 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Wolf' and 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Flame' - books that record three secret techniques. Goethe did not read them for nothing. Compared with 'Kel's Blood Sacrifice. Wolf'
The 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice Technique, Flame' can be used immediately. The 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice Technique, Vine' requires planting some vines yourself. Even with the blessing of the secret technique, the vine plants that grow much faster cannot be grown.
The growth is completed within a few hours and comes in handy.
"[Bloody Honor] Learn the 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice Technique. Wolf'!"
Once again, rows of words began to appear in front of Goethe's eyes——
[Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Wolf (Incomplete): In the Celtic sect in more ancient times, change has always been considered one of the original mysteries. Many Celtic priests studied it tirelessly, but when being raised by a she-wolf
When the eldest child led the army, these priests suddenly found that their own tribe was unable to resist. They fought and retreated. No matter how powerful the blood sacrifice technique was, they could not defeat that terrifying guy. Fortunately, the other brother did not
To obey the rule, the other party had to open a battlefield again. This gave the ancient Celtic priests a chance to breathe. They began to study the transformation of the 'wolf'! And the secret technique in your hand is not complete, it is just a remnant of the past.
part of.]
[Effect: Transform into a werewolf, gain an additional +1 to your body, and gain claws that can withstand bullet-level fur and bullet-level attacks (acquired based on the current [Physical] judgment)]
(Note 1: When transforming into a werewolf, stamina will continue to be consumed)
(Note 2: During the full moon, violent transformation will not occur)
(Note 3: This secret technique cannot be upgraded, but it can be completed)
…
[Celtic Blood Sacrifice: Wolf] did not exceed Goethe's expectations.
It's basically the same as what's recorded in the books.
However, [Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Fiery Flame] is different.
[Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Fiery Flame (Incomplete): Facing the attack of the sons of the she-wolf, some ancient Celtic priests chose to study 'wolves', while other ancient Celtic priests chose a more traditional method: Fiery Flame!
They expected to use flames to expel the Son of the Monster. In the end, they had enough breakthrough research, but during the Son of the Monster's raid, the research disappeared without being truly transformed into results.】
[Effect: Consume a certain amount of physical strength to summon a ball of bullet-level flames to attack the enemy! 】
…
[Discovered the secret technique ‘Burning Hands’, determining...]
[The ‘Heart’ attribute reaches 0.3, and the judgment is passed! 】
[You can integrate ‘Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Flame’ into ‘Burning Hands’ to improve ‘Burning Hands’! 】
…
"Can it be integrated?"
Goethe was shocked.
Goethe never underestimated the gifts from the "witches".
It's just that Goethe never thought that such a gift could actually have the ability to 'fuse' - in Goethe's understanding, such a 'fusion' should be achieved after a long period of research and suffering, and then a sudden flash of inspiration.
of.
But now?
He just said yes.
Then, the brand new [Burning Hand] appeared.
This is too...
So cool!
It’s fun to cheat for a while, and it’s always fun to cheat forever!
Inexplicably, this sentence appeared in Goethe's mind.
Even though he was still a little vigilant, at this time, he still couldn't contain the excitement in his heart.
He looked at the brand new [Burning Hand]!
[Burning Hands: After the exploration of the ruins of the 'Robert Family' and the incomplete 'Fire' of the ancient Celtic priests, a brand new secret technique was born, which is more powerful and more flexible]
[Effect: Consume some physical strength, use the palm of your hand as the starting point, and spray a cone-shaped flame forward. The flame angle is 30°, the length is 1-10 meters, and the judgment level is from blade to explosive level. When the spray is continued, the flame will increase in size.
Physical consumption; alternatively, you can summon a fireball with a level ranging from blade to explosive level and throw it at the target]
(Note 1: No gestures or pictures are needed. When you raise your palm with a thought, the flame will shoot out)
(Note 2: You can spray flames with either hand, but you cannot spray with both hands at the same time)
(Note 3: When you throw fire, you need to aim by yourself, and the throwing distance needs to be determined based on your [body])
(Note 4: This secret technique cannot be upgraded)
…
Hot!
The burning heat flowing from the bottom of my heart surged into my palms again.
Fire flickered in Goethe's clenched fists.
But then it went out immediately.
He turned to look at An Siusta who was walking not far away.
"Why is this secret room empty?!"
Shosta exclaimed.
Then, without Goethe needing an explanation, he said harshly: "Pentel is so cunning. He must have moved the contents of the secret room in advance - just like before."
“Another ‘disappearance of dark gold’!”
The resentful Siusta suddenly looked at Goethe.
"Goethe, do you know divination?"
"Can you tell where the money went?"
Siusta looked at Goethe expectantly.
"Divination is not everything!"
"There is a high chance of a divination error!"
"and……"
"I have no idea what disappeared in the secret room, and there is no way to divine it!"
Goethe sighed helplessly.
"Is that so?"
"I don't believe there is no trace at all!"
“The roads are monitored!”
"There's money in the bank!"
"I will definitely be able to find some clues about this guy!"
Shosta said firmly.
Then, he turned around and ran outside.
Goethe looked at Siusta's back with confusion. He always felt that Siusta seemed a little different today.
"Siusta's earliest partner, the teacher, was involved in tracing Pentel's disappearance. Although there is no evidence to prove that Pentel was responsible, and no body was found, sometimes it is obvious."
An explained softly.
Goethe was stunned.
"Good luck to Shosta."
Goethe said this and turned to look at An.
He looked very serious and ready to say something.
Seeing Goethe in this state, An, who still smelled of gunpowder smoke, suddenly thought of something, and immediately her face turned red.
The policewoman, who had always been cold and cold, seemed a little at a loss at this moment.
She took a step back slightly at first.
But I felt it was inappropriate, as it seemed to represent rejection.
So, I took another step forward.
But I feel like this, am I being too proactive?
He immediately took a step back.
Go forward and back several times, then——
"Ann, are you dancing?"
Goethe's voice made An stiffly stop.
"No."
An immediately shook his head.
Goethe laughed.
"I'm pretty good at dancing. I'll teach you when I have time! Now, I want you to talk to Garifa. I want to..."
