During the dinner at the Bear Castle in the evening, the Grand Duke learned about Goethe's plan.
The Grand Duke was stunned for about a second, and then sighed.
"Bloodline is so wonderful!"
At this moment, the Grand Duke's mind was filled with rumors about the Steinbeck family's 'wealth' - only someone with the blood of the Steinbeck family would come up with such a plan.
but……
Even if Goethe had the blood of the Steinbeck family, so what?
After all, he is still a member of the family.
Therefore, the Grand Duke supported Goethe unconditionally.
"Hurry up and make arrangements."
"Attention to detail."
"Some guys should be able to cause trouble."
The Grand Duke lowered his voice and warned his eldest son.
Some guys won't give up.
This has nothing to do with strength.
Just because of the greed and covetousness in people's hearts.
Especially when he was suddenly promoted to legend, although there was no clear information revealed, there were some vague speculations that would definitely make Tes fear the royal family and send spies.
Even if the Tesin royal family has already started fighting among themselves at this moment.
"Yes, father!"
Simlei Ke nodded and walked straight through the noisy crowd - as the eldest son in the family, when his father couldn't get away, he needed to be responsible for some affairs.
At the gate of Bear Castle, Simley Ke stopped.
The eldest son of the Grand Duke turned his head and looked at the banquet where thousands of people had gathered. He looked at Goethe, Emrek, and Gergier who walked out of the inner castle corridor and were walking towards their father. He looked at the bear holding his glass high.
The corners of the mouths on the fort's serious faces were slightly raised.
Why does he like the North?
Because his family is in the north.
Why does he like the North?
Because people in the north like his family.
The eldest son of the Grand Duke turned around and disappeared into the night.
The atmosphere of the banquet did not become colder because of the departure of the Grand Duke's eldest son, but instead became more and more enthusiastic.
Because Goethe stood by the Archduke's side.
At the banquet, everyone looked at Goethe.
As the Grand Duke spared no effort in publicity, all the people in the north knew that Goethe, the nephew of the Grand Duke, wanted to challenge the strong men everywhere.
Naturally, people became curious about Goethe.
At this moment, it would be great if we could get up close and personal.
Therefore, when the Archduke led Goethe to the center of the banquet, the eyes of everyone present moved accordingly.
"This is my nephew, Goethe Wein!"
“A great guy!”
"Everyone remember him, he will definitely bring prosperity to the north!"
"Gudong, gudong!"
The Grand Duke pointed to Goethe and it was a simple introduction.
People in the North don't like long talks, they prefer to be concise and concise - this is caused by the special environment in the North. After all, no one wants to chat in the ice and snow.
unless……
There is wine!
And when you are in a warm castle with wine, it would be even better.
Goethe glanced at the guests present and looked at the curious eyes of the guests. Without saying a word, he directly picked up the wine barrel on the side, pulled out the cork, and drank it with great boldness.
All the guests present had their eyes lit up.
For people from the north, all politeness is empty. Let’s have a drink first before talking about anything else.
"cheers!"
"Welcome Master Goethe!"
"cheers!"
"I wish Master Goethe a great success!"
As Goethe drank a bucket of wine, the atmosphere at the banquet immediately reached its peak. People began to raise their glasses and drank up the wine one by one.
When the portions of barbecue were served, many people at the banquet were already blushing and bewildered.
because……
Goethe drained three barrels in a row.
This is a habit from 'home'.
Either don't drink, or drink three before using chopsticks.
Of course, when he was in his hometown, Goethe used cups.
Buckets are used here.
What about the people from the North?
Facing such a bold Goethe, they naturally had to retaliate. This was not a rule, it was just that they thought they should do it, so they did it.
Then, it became like this.
Some people have already hugged the people around them and started talking nonsense.
Of course, some people are really confused.
Some people take the opportunity to get confused.
People, sometimes their skin is really thin.
Goethe saw this and decided to help these people.
So, he picked up the fourth barrel of wine.
boom!
The atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak, with everyone cheering and applauding loudly.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The Grand Duke looked at the lively banquet scene and laughed loudly.
On the side, Enmlek and Gergier looked at Goethe who was picking up another barrel of wine, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
"Is this a 'wine barrel'?"
"Um."
"What a barrel!"
"The wine barrel in the hand of 'Wine Barrel' is not water, right?"
"Definitely not."
As a professional with extraordinary power, he can naturally drink better than ordinary people, but there is a limit to what he can drink. If Goethe drinks like this, even a first- and second-level professional will be drunk.
Level 3 professionals may be able to hold on for a while longer.
As for the legendary professionals?
The two brothers looked at their father unconsciously.
Coincidentally, the Grand Duke also looked at the two of them at this time.
The Grand Duke raised his hand and threw two wine barrels weighing 10 kilograms to the two of them.
"Go and learn from Goethe and propose a toast to everyone."
The Grand Duke said this.
In fact, I felt a little sorry for my nephew and was afraid that he might have drunk too much.
"Father, I am still injured. I think it would be better to let Enmlai take my place."
Gergil said righteously.
On the side, Emle Kema's face turned ashen.
Because, the second son of the Grand Duke had already seen his father nodding.
"Well, yes, if Gejir is injured, then eat more meat."
"Emlay, you go and make a toast."
"Gergil give Emlay your drink."
The Grand Duke ordered.
Gezier smiled and handed the wine to Enmlai Ke.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother."
"It's not hard, I should do it, my good brother."
Enmlai Ke said through gritted teeth.
The second son of the Grand Duke is not afraid of drinking. As a northerner, how could he be afraid of drinking?
His expression was just because he had an appointment with someone in the evening - a rare trip back to Bear's Castle. How could the club in Bear's Castle not have him as the 'little prince of the club'?
In fact, the Grand Duke's second son had already contacted him when he arrived at Bear's Castle today.
His plan was to have an open party after attending the banquet.
And now?
It's obviously impossible.
Looking at Gejier's smiling face, Emle Ke knew that the other party did it on purpose.
The other party must have known what he was going to do, so he did it deliberately.
Facing Enmlai Ke's "ferocious" gaze, Gezier's expression remained as usual.
"Brother, don't think too much, I...just did it on purpose."
There was a hint of playfulness on Gejir's face.
"Just wait for me."
Enmlek walked to the middle of the banquet hall with two barrels of wine, temporarily replacing Goethe as the centerpiece of the venue. He had already drank 4 barrels of wine in a row. Even though Goethe's [body] was 20+ times that of an ordinary person, he still couldn't do it at this time.
The steps are already sloppy.
However, you can still walk in a straight line.
Gergier was on crutches and helped Goethe to sit down safely.
"Hahaha, how do you feel?"
"Very good, I've never felt this way before."
Goethe said with a smile, a drunken look on his face.
He, who had always been tense, felt relaxed at this time.
It's not just because of the alcohol.
And because Goethe knew that the Archduke was there, he would be safe.
The Grand Duke smiled even more happily.
He felt his nephew's reliance on him.
As an elder, he is proud.
"Young people should relax!"
“I’ll have to eat meat soon!”
As the Archduke spoke, he patted Goethe hard on the shoulder.
Immediately, the blood in Goethe's body began to tremble.
In an instant, the wine he just drank quickly turned into steam and was expelled from Goethe's pores.
Goethe's eyes immediately regained clarity.
"Um?"
Goethe was startled.
"After becoming a legendary professional, there are more ways to use the 'warrior' energy and blood."
The Grand Duke explained with a smile.
"What does a legendary professional look like?"
Goethe was very curious.
Goethe had an instinctive pursuit of gaining great strength.
Even though the Ke family gave him a sense of security and comfort, Goethe still wanted stronger strength.
Because the Ke family is not without enemies.
He hoped that when something unexpected happened, he would be able to stand up.
"It's just very strong."
"A qualitative change is like completing three baptisms and stepping into the first-level profession - I feel that the me now can crush the me before with one hand."
"I can easily win against three or five extreme third-level professionals."
"Not only has my body become stronger, but my mind has also become clearer. I can also recall everything that happened a long time ago."
"The abilities that I had mastered before have been enhanced again. It's the kind of cross-level enhancement."
When faced with his nephew's questions, the Grand Duke did not hide anything. He spoke of his most direct experience.
"Qualitative change?"
"All-round enhancement?"
"Moreover, after three baptisms, you will become a first-level professional."
"Third-level professionals will become legendary professionals again."
"Will it be three times after that?"
Goethe continued to ask.
"have no idea!"
This time the Grand Duke simply shook his head.
"The inheritance of our Ke family only reaches legend, and after that...it's gone!"
"The Ke family only started from my father, or my grandfather, that is, your great-grandfather. It only lasts for a hundred years. Even if it inherits the legacy of its ancestors, its foundation is too weak compared to those families that have lived for thousands of years in the true sense."
"After all, even our ancestors are just 'young people' compared to those families!"
"However, precisely because of this, we should work harder to create better conditions for our future generations."
"At least, they won't be bullied or plotted against."
The Grand Duke was obviously thinking of George VI, his eyes were full of fear.
But then, the Grand Duke laughed.
It's not because George VI died.
On the contrary, he expected George VI to live.
It is also certain that the other party is alive.
It's not the joy of having one more opponent.
The Grand Duke did not have such unpopular preferences.
Threaten your family for the pleasure of a rival?
In the eyes of the Grand Duke, this was a disease, and he recommended humane destruction.
The reason why the Grand Council laughs is because as long as George VI is still alive, he will definitely seek opportunities to step into the legend, and he will definitely look for opportunities to rise above the legend - compared to the legacy left by his ancestors at Bear Castle, staying in Tes
Because the royal family has more.
Therefore, he only needs to follow the other party.
The opportunity to step into the legend is what Ke's family needs.
The Ke family also needs opportunities to find opportunities beyond legend.
But that will come later.
Now, more important is the involvement of the Steinbeck family and his nephew.
Thinking of this, the Archduke waved to Goethe and told in a very low voice what happened in the afternoon in the Bear Castle about the Angke and Steinbeck families, as well as about Simik Zollensi, the captain of the 22nd team of the "Secret Keepers" outside the Bear Castle.
He told Goethe exactly what happened.
"Skifens Steinbeck!"
Goethe squinted his eyes and said the name with vigilance in his eyes.
The other party left a deep impression on Goethe.
It was so profound that Goethe's scalp went numb just thinking about him.
Because, from beginning to end, Goethe could not figure out the other party's true purpose.
Just like being in Luster.
Even at the last moment, the other party confessed his purpose, but Goethe still believed that the other party had a deeper purpose - there was no evidence, just intuition.
This feeling is really terrible.
What's worse is that this feeling may be true.
"Judging from the reaction of Captain Simik Zuolunsi, there should be changes in the 'Fairy Lake' and 'Dragon Island'. That is... the downgrade of the world!"
"If the world degrades, terrible things will happen."
"Leaving will be the best choice."
"but……"
"You can also take advantage of the fire!"
"For example: 'door'!"
The world upgrade has the ‘power of the world’!
There should also be a downgrade of the world.
Even, maybe more.
As long as you can participate in it and abandon its influence, it will be a perfect harvest.
And Skeffins Steinbeck happened to have the ability to enter.
The other party has a ‘door’ in Luster!
Completed the ability to enter and exit the ‘secret realm’ at will!
Although according to the other party, there are still a few steps to go, but who can guarantee that the other party is not a liar?
Just like what the other party said, "Your mother's ancestor, His Majesty the Mad King, recorded in his notes that he made the 'Secret Realm' his own and no longer worried about disasters or dangers."——
What if it’s also confusing?
The real 'door', if it really is to enter and exit the 'secret realm' at will!
Instead of turning the ‘secret realm’ into your own?
What kind of lie is the most believable?
Of course it is 90% true and 10% false.
Really, he knows everything.
If it's fake, it's what he thinks it is.
"Skifens Steinbeck must have thought that I had mastered the secret of the 'Mad King's Legacy' at that time, and that's why he deliberately said that sentence to mislead me, making me think that the other party just mastered a low-profile, incomplete version.
The 'Mad King's Legacy', which made me feel contemptuous, was actually a secret attempt to achieve the real goal - to harvest the power of the world after the downgrade of the 'Secret Realm'!"
"So……"
"Does the other party know the true function of the 'Mad King's Ring'?"
Goethe sat there thinking.
Soon, Goethe came up with the answer.
have no idea!
If the other party knew the true function of the 'Mad King's Ring', they would not have planned it like they did in Luster. It would definitely be a 'take all' situation, rather than a smooth 'retreat'.
At the same time, Goethe also speculated on some information about the ‘door’.
The 'door' should be able to enter and leave the secret realm at will, but there must be conditions.
For example: there cannot be too many people from the 'Anchor World' in the 'secret realm' that the 'door' is going to enter.
For example: the 'Gate' should not be able to perceive the 'Secret Realm' in 'The Ring of the Mad King'.
Otherwise, the other party will not send their own guardian knights at all. A lot of information will be exposed. With the way the other party behaves, they will definitely be hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities.
Just like in Luster.
As for how the other party can get rid of its influence?
Goethe doesn't know yet.
But you can be sure that the other party must have a way.
"What a headache!"
Goethe whispered to himself.
"That guy from the Steinbeck family?"
"Goethe, you must be vigilant!"
"That guy sent his guardian knight to me and swore an oath to win my trust, but a true guardian knight is willing to give everything for his master."
"Including but not limited to life, honor, etc."
"So, among the people Fabol comes this time, there will definitely be someone causing trouble."
The Archduke reminded Goethe.
When he met with Angke, the Grand Duke guessed what Skiffins Steinbeck was thinking.
It's not that the Grand Duke anticipated the enemy's opportunity.
But...
This is what George VI did.
"Um."
Goethe nodded solemnly and looked at the Grand Duke with gratitude in his eyes.
He was well aware of the Archduke's support.
Without the support of the Grand Duke, it would have been impossible for him to implement such a plan.
The Grand Duke patted Goethe on the shoulder again.
"We are a family."
"Go for it!"
"The real party has just begun!"
The Grand Duke pointed to the dishes brought by the guests.
When attending the Bear Castle banquet, although the Grand Duke will provide barbecue, the people from the north are not the kind of people who eat other people's food for free. They will also bring their own dishes.
Naturally, they are all specialty dishes.
For example: clams stuffed with meat!
The clams fished from the inland sea are filled with beef filling and steamed in a steamer. The beef filling mixed with black pepper and the clam meat are fused together. They are tender and have a refreshing taste, which is in harmony with the thick meat and seafood.
The delicious taste makes people couldn't help but praise it loudly.
Goethe ate a plate directly.
The residents of Bear Castle who brought clams stuffed with meat were not angry at all, but instead looked around triumphantly.
It is an honor for those who attend the banquet that the food can be praised by the lord.
Even though Goethe didn't speak, the clean plates already spoke for themselves.
Faced with the show-offs of friends and neighbors, more Bearsburg residents brought their specialty dishes to Goethe.
Goethe welcomed everyone who came and tasted them one by one.
Although there are differences between them, they are both good.
Everyone is attentive.
Especially the shrimp and egg stew served by an aunt made Goethe even more amazed.
That's food in a small bowl.
A whole shrimp with its head and skin removed was put into the complete egg, and boiling hot oil was poured directly on it. The aroma of the oil came out amidst the sizzling sound, and the emerald green onions were rolling on it, and the shrimp suddenly became
The eggs are bright red, and the eggs are golden and silver.
Just looking at it will whet your appetite.
Goethe took the spoon and took a bite.
The unique fragrance of the eggs and the deliciousness of the shrimps are combined with the chopped green onion to make people feel comfortable, but what surprised Goethe most is that there is a hint of spiciness in it.
Not too spicy, a bit like pepper, but not quite like it.
"Is it oil?"
“The hot fried peppers were just fried!”
Goethe's eyes lit up.
He raised his hand and grabbed a shrimp and egg stew.
There were ten bowls of shrimp and egg stew, but when Goethe went to get it, eight bowls were left.
There is another bowl...
She was picked up by Silla.
"Hey, you're awake?"
Goethe made a sound of surprise, raised his hand and grasped Sheila's wrist, leaving the bowl of shrimp and egg stew stagnant in mid-air.
"Wake up, I'm hungry."
"It's mine!"
Silla said loudly.
Then, with lightning speed, he aimed at the bowl in his hand——
Pooh!
"How about it?"
"Am I a fast learner?"
Silla let go of her hand triumphantly.
"Well, it's very fast."
"However, I didn't learn the essence!"
"Essence?"
Silla frowned.
Goethe struck quickly——
Bah!X9
The eight bowls of shrimp and egg stew on the table, as well as the shrimp and egg stew in my hand, were all contaminated by Goethe.
Then, Goethe gently placed the shrimp and egg stew in front of Sheila.
"Eat, I'm really hungry just after I woke up and I need to replenish my strength."
“Never waste food!”
Goethe said, picked up the spoon and slowly ate the remaining eight bowls of shrimp and egg stew.
Silla stared at the shrimp and egg stew in front of her, her face changed again and again, she picked up and put down the spoon.
Finally, Silla gritted her teeth and picked up the shrimp and egg stew.
But Goethe picked it up first.
"It's useless to give you a chance!"
Goethe picked up the last bowl of shrimp and egg stew and ate it without any psychological burden.
Silla looked blankly.
His face turned red instantly.
"You, you, you...I, I, I..."
Silla, who was talking incoherently, covered her face and turned around to run away. When she was about to enter the corridor of the inner castle, she didn't forget to pick up the roast leg of lamb on the table next to her - she was really hungry.
She felt like she could eat a cow.
Therefore, the roasted leg of lamb in your hand is like filling your teeth.
With her nose that had become much sharper, Sheila found the kitchen of Bear Castle very easily.
A lot of barbecue appears here.
And, of course, more drinks.
Chefs, cooks, and servants are busy.
Everyone was sweating profusely, but with smiles on their faces. When they saw Silla, they even gave friendly gestures to Silla to take the food as she pleased - firstly, the food tonight was open to the public, and secondly...
...Sheila is good-looking.
"Thanks."
After thanking her politely, Silla picked up half of the roasted beef and walked aside.
She didn't drink.
The teacher once told her that girls cannot drink.
But not all girls are like this.
In the corner, a lady with a good-looking face and elegant temperament wearing a white dress was holding a glass of wine brought from the banquet hall. The other party saw the conspicuous Sila.
First, I was surprised by Silla's appearance.
Then, after seeing Sheila eating meat, she dismissed it.
"Northerners are so rude."
"The same goes for the brewed wine, which tastes as bad as horse urine."
The voice was soft, but the content made Silla feel unhappy.
Even though he drank someone else's wine, he still said it didn't taste good.
How rude!
Silla was about to reprimand the other party immediately, but a hand fell on the top of Silla's head and pulled Silla behind her. Silla originally wanted to resist, but after smelling the familiar smell, she did not
Move again.
Just while continuing to eat roast beef, he watched Goethe smile at the lady opposite and asked in a gentle voice——
"You actually know the taste of horse urine? You must drink it often. No wonder you can't get used to the drinks at Bear Castle. To a certain extent... you are really amazing!"
