"Welcome to my nephew and his friends who have come from afar."
Duke Scrooge brought up the milk.
Originally the Grand Duke hoped it would be strong alcohol, but when he saw the scars on Goethe's face, he chose to give up. Although his second son promised that there would be no scars after using his potion, the Grand Duke still chose to be cautious.
For good.
At the same time, the welcome dinner also turned into breakfast.
Goethe had no opinion on this.
Although Sheila and Swart felt strange, they immediately chose to remain silent when they saw that Goethe had no objection.
Last night, the two of them already knew that Archduke Scrooge had handed over Svetla to Goethe.
Surprised, unbelievable.
This was the reaction of the two people at that time.
Now?
Same thing.
Goethe then picked up the milk in a dull manner.
Under the instructions of the Grand Duke, today's breakfast was extraordinarily sumptuous, with the stewed earth dragon as the main course, roasted leg of beef, roasted whole lamb, and three golden roasted chickens.
One in front of the Grand Duke.
One in front of the three sons of the Grand Duke.
One in front of Goethe, Sheila, and Swart.
As for Nina?
Be vegetarian.
Therefore, in front of this little princess are the best vegetables, fruits, and white bread in the North.
While eating the apple, the little princess curiously looked at the wound at the corner of Goethe's mouth.
"I accidentally scratched it."
Goethe took the initiative to explain.
"Does it hurt?"
Nina asked.
"It hurt a lot at the time, but it stopped hurting later."
"I'm still a little itchy now. Thanks to Enmlai's medicine, I feel like I'm almost cured."
Goethe said softly.
"Emlay?"
"It's amazing!"
Nina blinked and looked at her brother subconsciously.
Simle Ke immediately puffed up his chest and smiled at his little sister, while his eldest brother Simle Ke placed the cut chicken legs on Emle Ke's dinner plate.
Gergil stood up, took an egg, and peeled the egg for Nina.
Scrooge K. looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing.
What he most wanted to see was this scene.
The family is in harmony, loving each other and sitting at the dinner table. There are also friends visiting, and the food is extremely rich and sufficient.
If possible, he really wanted to make this moment last forever.
but……
There are always some guys who won't let him get his way.
Oh.
Deep down in his heart, the Grand Duke sneered.
Since he doesn't let him get what he wants for a while, he will make the other person unhappy for the rest of his life.
He's Scrooge Grams!
Guardian of the North!
Stormborn!
Fearless warrior!
The Grand Duke, who was becoming more and more determined in his heart, kept smiling on his face, and specially cut off a chicken leg and handed it to Silla.
"Ms. Sheila, I heard that you once ran a hunter bar?"
"Yes, Your Highness the Grand Duke."
"I had such an experience in Luster. This bar is still in my name now. However, because of the "Extraordinary Act", it has been included under the jurisdiction of the 'Keeper of Secrets', so I can become the owner of the bar."
"Of course, there is also a good income every month."
Faced with Grand Duke Scrooge's inquiry, Silla told the truth.
Silla was a little dismissive of this Grand Duke at first.
Thinking that the other person is just a reckless man with only muscles and no brains.
But after what she saw and heard yesterday, Silla began to change her opinion. This Grand Duke was not only wise, but also that kind of great wisdom - people who ignore their own gains and losses are either saints or the most terrifying beasts.
Inexplicably, this lady with multiple identities thought of the words her teacher once said.
What does the Grand Duke look like in front of me?
She couldn't guess.
And then, the Grand Duke’s question caught her even more off guard——
"Well...that's it!"
"Ms. Sila, are you engaged?"
"What do you think of Goethe?"
The Grand Duke pondered for a moment and then asked directly.
Phew! Phew!
Cough cough cough!
Goethe and Sheila turned around and spat out the milk they had just drank, coughing together.
Swart, who was sitting between the two of them, wiped his face innocently.
After the servant brought the towel, the police sergeant said solemnly: "I think I should change places."
This was originally a joke to break the embarrassment.
But the Grand Duke took it seriously.
He actually asked the servant to bring another chair.
After Goethe and Silla sat down next to each other, they stared at each other.
Goethe looked at Silla and thought he saw a shoebill stork watching him.
When Silla looked at Goethe, she felt like she was seeing a fox that had ill intentions towards her.
The next moment, the two of them shook their heads together.
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Seeing such a tacit understanding, the Grand Duke smiled like an experienced person.
The little princess Nina also looked at her cousin and Ms. Silla with interest.
Breakfast was spent with a group of people gossiping and one person being embarrassed.
Goethe?
After tasting the stewed earth dragon, he was completely addicted to the food. The tender meat and rich juice made Goethe devote himself wholeheartedly to it. It was like eating bullfrog with pickled cabbage, but with more meat.
After breakfast, the Grand Duke and the eldest son got up and left.
Gergil took Swart to the police station with him - this was Gergil's strong request. He hoped that Swart would 'teach' him some knowledge of being a police chief.
Silla returned to the room out of embarrassment.
Goethe and Nina followed Simler Ke towards the castle's martial arts arena.
"Father asked me to teach you all the extraordinary knowledge that the Ke family has. I did not do it voluntarily, so you don't need to be grateful."
Enmle Ke said directly.
Goethe always felt that the second son of the Grand Duke was a bit arrogant.
"Now use your best moves to attack me!"
Enmlek continued.
"What's your best move?"
Goethe frowned.
"certainly!"
"You don't think that I, who have already completed three baptisms, can't handle your moves, do you?"
"Come!"
"Use your best strength and fastest speed!"
"Only in this way can I understand your strength and teach you in accordance with your aptitude!"
Enmlek opened his arms.
After Goethe hesitated for a moment, he raised his foot and kicked it.
Of course, it's not the strongest or fastest kind.
But even so, Emrek, who had acted casually just now, was also startled. He jumped back quickly and looked at Goethe with a look of surprise.
The second son of the Grand Duke could see how skilled Goethe was in this move.
It's simply imprinted on the soul.
It’s no longer instinctive.
Rather, it has been sublimated to another level, like an antelope hanging its horns, completely natural and traceless.
How many times have you practiced this?
How many eggs were broken?
The second son of the Grand Duke only felt a chill on his back, but on the surface he could still maintain his composure.
"Tickling your vaginal legs?"
"Is this your best move?"
"Can't get on the stage!"
"Now!"
"Punch me as hard as you can!"
Enmle Ke said, opening his arms again.
This time, Goethe did not hold back. He raised his hand and punched Enmlek in the chest.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound.
A punch with nearly 6 times the strength of an ordinary person, but the second son of the Grand Duke only shook his body.
"good!"
"As expected of the Ke family!"
“However, there is room for improvement in technique!”
The Grand Duke's second son said these words, as if he was thinking, and walked around the martial arts arena. After confirming that Goethe could not see his face, the Grand Duke's second son's face began to twitch, and his hands showed no traces.
Rub the ground a few times.
When he turned around again, his face returned to normal again.
"Next, let's practice!"
After the Grand Duke's second son finished speaking, he first put on the protective gear on the side of the martial arts arena.
"good."
Goethe nodded.
"Nina, can you be the referee and call us start?"
The second son of the Grand Duke looked at his sister.
"Um!"
After Nina nodded enthusiastically, she raised her hands high and shouted in a clear voice——
"start!"
Whoosh!
The Grand Duke's second son disappeared in front of Goethe's eyes. This was not the first time Goethe saw such rapid speed.
The Grand Duke's second son had shown such speed when they first met before.
But compared to last time, this time it was faster.
Without any hesitation, Goethe took two steps forward and threw the wooden sword back without even looking at it.
It's not just throwing it away.
Goethe clearly judged the position of the Grand Duke's second son through perception.
Snap!
The moment the wooden swords clashed with each other, Goethe immediately turned around and kicked the Grand Duke's second son on the wrist.
But the kick missed.
The body of the Grand Duke's second son curved contrary to physics. An evil aura appeared on the Grand Duke's second son's body. The opponent's speed became faster, and his whole body was like a top, spinning around Goethe.
Bang, bang!
After three consecutive blows, the wooden sword struck Goethe——
Stab!
A chain of lightning jumped out of Goethe's body.
He hit the Grand Duke's second son accurately.
Immediately, the hair of the second son of the Grand Duke stood up, his face was charred, and the sword in his hand could no longer cut.
In fact, he had already lost after just using a little bit of his trump card.
And now?
It was a complete defeat.
Only yesterday did his father give Goethe the family's core secret technique [Volibear Breathing Technique]. Before that, Goethe had never been exposed to this secret technique, but after one night, Goethe truly mastered this secret technique.
He has also reached the point of being very proficient!
You know, it took him three months to reach this point.
genius!
Enmle Ke suddenly had such an evaluation in his heart.
He looked at Goethe with complicated eyes.
You know, he was also called a genius before.
But now?
Compared with Goethe, he is nothing.
But thankfully...
Goethe was also a member of the Gram family.
Thinking of this, the second son of the Grand Duke smiled.
"Gegil said before that you would only need one or two years to be baptized, and I thought it would be at least three to five years, but now it seems that you can be baptized even now."
The second son of the Grand Duke did not conceal the previous conversation at all.
Family members can have different opinions and argue, but they cannot hide or fight - this is what his father told him, and he kept it in mind.
"baptism?"
“What exactly is baptism?”
Goethe asked a long-standing question.
When he was in Luster, he wanted to ask.
But there was never a chance.
Now that the opportunity has arisen, he will naturally not give up.
"Baptism is a collective term that relies on rituals to bestow special powers on the baptized person - depending on the baptismal ceremony, the baptized person will also have different abilities."
"Of course, you must have talent."
"And the core secret technique of the Ke family [Volibear Breathing Technique] is to allow the baptizer to obtain stronger abilities to the maximum extent."
"It is also one of the sources of the Ke family's strength!"
"The strong body of the Ke family always gives us the upper hand in battles with the enemy!"
The Grand Duke's second son explained.
"What about the three baptisms?"
Goethe continued to ask.
"This is the difference between ordinary people with extraordinary power and those with truly powerful power!"
"Generally, those with extraordinary power have at most one or two baptism ceremony inheritances, and it is not sure whether they can restrain each other!"
"But we are different. Our ancestors discovered in the extraordinary knowledge that the baptism ceremony and the baptism ceremony can restrain each other and can also be related to each other. Mutual restraint will directly cause the baptizer to suffer backlash and become worse than ordinary people, but each other
When connected, it can greatly enhance the power of the baptizer - after experiencing countless failures, our ancestors finally left us the most important inheritance!"
"Therefore, the choice of the first baptismal ceremony becomes crucial, because it will be related to your subsequent path: the qualitative change after three baptisms!"
The second son of the Grand Duke did not hide anything.
Moreover, Goethe did not need to ask any more questions and continued directly.
"The three baptism ceremonies for the 'Secret Keeper' are: 'Enlistment', 'Training', and 'Recruit'!"
“After completing three baptisms, the ‘secretkeepers’ at this stage are called ‘soldiers’.”
"Has a strong body, is proficient in using various weapons, and can form a military formation with his companions to exert a power of 1+1>2."
"The inheritance of the 'Secret Keeper' can be said to be the most harmless and easiest to complete, but it will also be the most mediocre."
"As for our Ke family?"
After the Grand Duke's second son paused for a moment, pride appeared on his face.
"My grandfather inherited the knowledge from his ancestors and created a new inheritance. The three rituals are: 'hardening', 'bloodbath', and 'death battle'!"
"And after completing the three rituals, we will be called -"
