The thin body immediately became rickety, and the pale hair became increasingly weak. The captain of the 'Secret Keeper' Team 21, Sidder, cast a worried look at his friend.
"It's fine."
Simik Zuolunsi waved his hand.
"You look like you're fine."
With these words, Sidder untied his cloak and put it on Simik Zuolunsi. Sidder, who was already middle-aged, sighed lightly.
"It's going to be very troublesome this time."
With these words, Sider subconsciously raised his hand and took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his rather neat black suit jacket.
However, as soon as he took out one, the captain of the 21st Team of the 'Secret Keepers' thought of his friend Simik's extremely bad health.
Immediately, the captain of the 21st team of 'Secret Keepers' put the cigarette back.
Of course, before putting it back, the captain of the 21st Team of the 'Secret Keepers' put the cigarette under his nose and smelled the tobacco.
"I told you, I'm really fine."
Simik Zollens, the captain of the 22nd Operation Team of the Secret Keepers emphasized.
"I don't believe people who kept vomiting blood last night and then said they were fine the next morning."
Sidder had a teasing look on his face.
Then, the captain of the 21st team of the 'Secret Keepers' lightly patted his friend's shoulder and said in a pretending to be relaxed tone: "Get a good rest, it's up to me."
Sidle tried his best to make an "I can do it" expression.
But neither Simik Zollens nor himself believed such words.
Because, this time it is really too much trouble!
The situation in the two secret areas of "Fairy Lake" and "Dragon Island" is worse than imagined.
Some unknown and strange changes have begun to appear in the two secret realms.
This left the 'Secret Keepers' who were already struggling to deal with the 'disaster' with a serious shortage of manpower.
Coincidentally, at this time, the two Tesin princes, Gerald Modeus George and Ronald Modeus George, began to fight among themselves over the throne.
This makes the Tesin royal family unable to support the 'Keeper of Secrets' at all.
Of course, what's even worse is the 'contract'.
The contract signed between the 'Keeper of Secrets' and the 'Mad King' is now in the hands of Prince Gerald Modeus George. According to the contract, they must mobilize people to help the prince.
Moreover, Prince Gerald Modeus George has also made such a request.
The 'Keeper of Secrets' faces the two mysterious secret realms of 'Fairy Lake' and 'Dragon Island', and is originally short of manpower.
Now?
It decreased again.
The minimum defensive strength will be breached.
Therefore, they came to the northern border to 'borrow troops' on this trip.
But it is undoubtedly difficult.
It's so difficult that even the always optimistic Sider doesn't have any confidence.
Especially when they saw Goethe with a smile on his face and Simler Ke with an expressionless face walking out of the restaurant, the hearts of the two captains of the "Secret Keepers" sank.
Because, in the original plan of the two people, the first person they met should be Enmlai Ke.
Simley Ke will definitely be there.
But Emrek, the second son of the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory, is what needs to be focused on. As we all know, in the Northern Territory, the eldest son of the Grand Duke is responsible for military affairs, while the second son of the Grand Duke is responsible for diplomacy and finance.
As for the third son of the Grand Duke?
There was nothing dazzling about the other party before, and he was just quietly noticed.
But this time, the opponent's 'alchemy' and 'magic potion' talents displayed during the friction with Fabol also raised his attention by two levels.
However, neither Simlei Ke nor Gezier Ke were put on the real persuasion list by Simik Zullens and Schider.
On this list, the first one is the Grand Duke of the North.
The second is the opponent's second son, Enmlai Ke.
To put it simply, as long as they persuade Enmlai Ke, the second son of the Grand Duke of the North, their plan for this trip will be half successful.
Therefore, the appearance of Goethe directly disrupted their plans.
"Master Simler, Master Goethe."
Siddel greeted with a smile on his face.
Simik Zuo Lunsi, who was on the side, also had a smile on his pale face.
"Good morning, you two."
"Need some food?"
"In the north in July, the morning is already very cold."
Goethe said very friendly.
Faced with such friendship, the two captains of the 'Secret Keepers' would certainly not refuse.
However, when they saw Goethe sitting directly in front of a pot of meat in the small hall where guests were waiting, raising his hand to grab it, the two of them were a little uncomfortable - shouldn't they be invited to eat together?
Why did you eat alone?
Isn't it because you didn't have enough breakfast?
Impossible.
It must be a skill that assists ‘speaking skills’.
Schider, Simik Zuolens thought immediately.
The two 'Secret Keeper' captains looked at each other calmly and decided to remain unchanged in the face of changes. At the same time, they recalled information about Goethe in their minds.
Goethe's internal material in The Keeper can be roughly divided into two parts.
The first half is when he was in Luster, and the second half is after Goethe came to the north.
If you only look at the first half of 90%, then Goethe is an absurd young man from a wealthy family. The posture he learned from the governess would make many middle-aged people blush.
Later, they also found the governess and verified it, which proved that Goethe had a strong thirst for knowledge.
There are also stories about the ‘Garden Club’.
Two, three, four...
It's also impressive.
Based on this, there is nothing wrong with Goethe. At most, in addition to his strong thirst for knowledge, he also practiced deeply.
More?
Then make a comment: energetic.
Other than that, there's really nothing else.
But when the "Flesh and Blood Church" appeared, when the royal family's "spies" appeared, everything became different.
The other party began to grow rapidly.
That kind of speed simply exceeded everyone's imagination.
Especially the last moment.
If Skiffins Steinbeck hadn't been too dazzling and obscured Goethe's brilliance, even if the "Night Watch" covered it up, Goethe would have been paid close attention to by the Tesin royal family.
As for the second half of coming to the north?
When the two of them read this information, they felt like they were in a dream.
Kill the branch leader of the 'Rose Knights'.
Win every battle in the Bear Castle Arena.
Finally, he also killed the leader of the 'Rose Knights'.
Dirkmer is a bastard.
But its strength is definitely not weak.
Fabol's special power system allows the opponent to definitely have the strength of a third-level professional, and it is not the kind of fake power.
But even such an enemy was beaten to death by Goethe.
When they saw the news, everyone didn't believe it.
Especially Alger Aldrich, who had always been optimistic about Goethe, the captain of the 17th team of the 'Keepers of Secrets' said it was impossible.
Sider, Simik and Zullens also think it is impossible.
Therefore, the two of them also deliberately investigated.
then……
They made a big discovery!
Sheela!
This person who seems to be just the head of the 'Garden Club' actually has many hidden identities, the owner of the 'Garden Club' and the 'Hunter Bar'.
Moreover, there is a strong force under his command following him around.
The most important thing is that the other party’s teacher turned out to be the explorer ‘Jones’ who was thought to be dead.
As we all know, ‘Jones’ knew ‘Scrooge Grams’, the Grand Duke of the North.
In fact, the relationship can be said to be good.
According to rumors, the two had adventures together when they were young.
As a result, the opponent who was thought to be dead appeared in Luster and taught a disciple named "Silla". This disciple stuck to Goethe's side like brown candy.
Is this a coincidence?
No one believes this is a coincidence.
Everyone thinks this is the plan of the Grand Duke of the North.
Everyone believed that what the Grand Duke of the North said before was true, and that he had already begun secretly cultivating Goethe.
As for the tragedy at Lustwein’s house?
Naturally, it was the work of His Majesty King George VI.
The late His Majesty obviously realized something was wrong.
Then, try it out.
In the end, it led to the tragedy.
It also brought the life of His Majesty to an end.
After all, the Grand Duke of the North is not a soft persimmon.
In fact, the situation in front of us might have been planned by the Grand Duke of the North.
Thinking of this, the two captains of the 'Secret Keepers' felt their hearts sink again.
And Goethe?
I finally made up for my breakfast.
He is really hungry.
Breakfast was interrupted, so naturally it was necessary to make up for it.
Of course, he also has his own intentions.
Why did the ‘Secret Keeper’ come to the North?
Of course he knows.
Reinforcements!
In other words, any possible assistance will be what the other party needs!
Goethe had already made a judgment when he learned the identities of the two men from the captain of the first regiment of the Grand Duke's Guards, Sax.
After all, everyone can see that infighting in the Tesin royal family is inevitable.
Coupled with the downgrading of the worlds of 'Fairy Lake' and 'Dragon Island'.
It is not difficult to make such a judgment.
And deep in his heart, Goethe also had an answer.
Not sure.
Not a denial.
It’s about ‘adapting to circumstances’.
Because of Skeffins Steinbeck’s ‘adaptation to circumstances’ appeared.
Otherwise, Goethe would definitely refuse.
"What a troublesome guy!"
Goethe felt pain in his temples when he thought of the owner of the Pine Nut Inn.
He sighed in his heart and began to lay the groundwork for this conversation.
Goethe raised his head and looked at the two 'Secret Keeper' captains opposite him, and said with a smile: "Here, have something to eat."
Sidr, Simik, and Zollens all frowned as they looked at the empty basins with no soup in them.
The basin was empty.
What else do they eat.
"Why don't you eat?"
Goethe looked puzzled.
"Ahem, there's nothing left to eat in the basin."
Sidder coughed lightly.
Simik Zuolunsi had already frowned.
He felt that Goethe was a little rude.
Goethe looked at the two of them, his eyes moved from Schider's face to Simik Zuolens's face. He sighed slightly, and then asked with a smile.
"Do you feel like I'm a bit inexplicable? Or even forcing myself to make things difficult for you?"
Sidder was stunned for a moment and had already somewhat come to his senses.
But Simik Zuolunsi nodded directly.
not good!
Sider, who had already guessed what Goethe wanted to say, was too late to stop his friend.
Sure enough, the next moment, Goethe said coldly.
"You also know that there is nothing to eat in the basin, so it is difficult for others to force you to eat."
"Then why did you come to the North?"
"When you come to the north to ask for help, aren't you forcing yourself into a difficult situation?"
The cold and blunt words made Sidder smile bitterly.
A strange blush appeared on Simik Zuolunsi's pale face. The youngest captain of the 'Keeper of Secrets' was about to speak, but was interrupted again by Goethe.
"how?"
"Isn't it enough to force others to do something difficult?"
"Are you still ready to use strong words?"
Goethe's voice became colder and colder, and the sarcasm in his eyes made Simik Zollens unable to hold back any longer and coughed.
Sidder slapped his friend on the back repeatedly.
At the same time, a potion appeared in his hand.
This is a medicine specially prepared for Simik Zuolunsi by the pharmacist in the headquarters of the 'Secret Keeper'. Although it cannot completely cure Simik Zuolunsi's cough, it can greatly relieve it.
Take the potion.
The strange blush on Simik Zuolunsi's face disappeared.
The face of the youngest captain of the 'Secret Keeper' turned pale again.
He glanced at Goethe again and took a deep breath.
"Feel sorry."
"We didn't think carefully enough."
"However, I still hope that Master Goethe can convey our request to Archduke Scrooge."
After saying that, Simik Zuolunsi lowered his head and saluted.
Is dignity important?
important.
Is honor important?
important.
But sometimes, you still need to bow your head. It's not because you don't want dignity and glory. It's just that the palm called 'reality' presses on your head, making you bow your head and knocking your forehead against it.
It hit the ground with a thud.
Siddel looked at his friend.
He looked at the expressionless Goethe again.
In the end, the captain of Team 21 of the ‘Secret Keepers’ helped his friend.
He could see that Goethe would not agree.
If you continue, you will only make your friend a laughing stock.
There were no threatening words.
There is no shame or anger.
We are all adults, so we naturally understand that even if we have a deep friendship with each other, we still need interests as a bargaining chip.
And now?
They couldn't afford enough chips.
Fortunately, I won’t talk about it anymore.
Having said that, it is also embarrassing.
Simik Zuolunsi was helped up by Sider, and they walked out side by side.
There was a deep sense of unwillingness on the face of the youngest captain of the 'Secret Keeper'.
Not willing to fail.
Because he knew that he and his friends would go back empty-handed.
‘Secret Keeper’ will become a thing of the past.
Most of the people he knows, his partners, and relatives will probably die.
He is so unwilling!
A sense of powerlessness swept over the captain of the 'Keeper of Secrets'.
Ahem!
Amidst the violent coughing, the other party covered his mouth, and a trace of blood appeared between his fingers.
"Simic?"
Sidle exclaimed and quickly took the medicine again.
The special medicine of 'Secret Keeper' is of course useful, but if it is taken continuously in a short period of time, the effect will still plummet. Therefore, after taking the medicine this time, Simik Zuolunsi's cough only improved slightly.
Sidle was ready to take his friends and leave quickly.
Not only is his friend in need of more thorough cultivation, but also because the cold environment in the north is really useless for cultivation.
But at this moment——
"etc."
"I think we can talk some more."
Goethe said this.
Um?
Sider and Simik Zollens were stunned.
The two looked at Goethe in disbelief.
Goethe said slowly.
"Don't look at me like that."
"I just said we'll talk about it, not promise anything. For the sake of being a trainee secret keeper, I still clearly remember that my number is... 0X0X2048."
"so!"
"Show your sincerity!"
"There is only one chance!"
PS, my work schedule is messed up, and Fei Long’s update is a mess... ugh!
