In the small living room, the empty meat basin was brought down by the waiter.
A nut unique to the north and some fruits shipped from Fabol were placed on the table.
Goethe picked up a nut and rubbed it with his fingers, without opening it, just playing with it.
His body leaned back on the sofa, his other hand was placed flat on the armrest, and his eyes were quietly watching the two "Secret Keeper" captains Sidir and Simik Zollens, waiting for the two of them.
answer.
Sider and Simik Zollens looked at each other.
After the two were silent for about a second, Schider finally spoke on behalf of the two.
"The 'Keeper of Secrets' can use Jin Ke..."
"There is no shortage of money or food in the north now."
"Remember, you only have one chance."
Goethe interrupted the other party's words and emphasized.
After speaking, Goethe placed the nuts in his hand heavily on the table.
Bang!
The voice is neither high nor low.
But it represents Goethe's dissatisfaction.
This was naturally shown to the two people opposite.
And what about the reality?
money?
There was a shortage in the north before.
But with the emergence of the Bear Castle Arena, the Northern Territory has already solved its urgent needs and will no longer be short of money in the short term. But in the long run?
There will be no shortage.
Even, as time goes by, the North will become more and more prosperous.
As long as Goethe's plan is followed, the speed of wealth accumulation will be enough to make surrounding countries stunned.
As for food?
With the support of enough gold grams, the food reserves in the north will also become sufficient.
Especially after obtaining the hidden channels of the Tulip family, the purchase of grain has been put on the agenda, but it will be done in a more secretive way.
On the surface, it's business as usual in the north.
Goethe had already made a plan to reserve food for the entire northern territory for at least three years before releasing certain items.
This is determined by the acuity of surrounding countries.
If the other party is keen, it will take three years.
If you are slow...the best time is ten years.
This is not something that happens overnight.
It needs to come bit by bit.
Slowly and surely.
Moisturizes things without making any sound.
But what is needed from the 'Secret Keeper' now is not.
He looked at Siddel, waiting for another answer.
"Knowledge!"
"The knowledge possessed by the 'Keeper of Secrets'."
"Three baptisms, the 'soldier' completes the first level of inheritance!"
Schider immediately added.
"Only the first level?"
"This is not enough."
Goethe raised an eyebrow.
"This is the limit that the 'Keeper of Secrets' can take. Starting from the second-level 'Master Chief' of the soldier, the subsequent advancements are all secret - restricted by the contract of His Majesty the 'Mad King', even if we want
It is impossible to take it out, unless the people in the north are willing to sign the 'Keeper of Secrets Oath' to join the 'Keeper of Secrets'."
Sidle explained with a wry smile.
"So that's it."
"That……"
"Where is your secret inheritance?"
Goethe's heart was filled with regret.
However, once the conversation changed, the chips began to change.
For the Northern Territory, which has the baptismal inheritance of the 'Warrior', the baptismal inheritance of the 'Soldier' is still a necessity, just like the secret skill inheritance of the 'Secret Keeper' captain level.
They are all very lacking in the northern border!
Because, [Volibear Breathing Technique] and ‘Warrior’ complement each other.
If you want to go far enough on the road of 'warrior', you need to raise [Volibear Breathing Technique] to a very high level during the first baptism and achieve the first extreme baptism.
But it is not that easy to improve [Volibear Breathing Technique].
Not only does [Volibear Breathing Technique] require extremely high talent, but it also requires an extremely high level of compatibility with oneself.
Under such a premise, it is rare to be able to reach the limit in the first 'warrior' baptism.
The simplest example is Sax, the first captain of the Grand Duke's Guards.
Sikes was also famous for his outstanding talent in the North back then, but in the end he still did not reach the ultimate level of 'hardening' in the first 'Warrior' baptism ceremony.
As a result, he fell behind step by step. When he wanted to maximize the power of the third-level ‘Warrior’ [Hellblooded], he had to rely on the blessing of ‘magic potion’ to barely achieve it.
But it also left behind sequelae.
Basically, the possibility of advancing to "Legendary" is lost.
As for the remaining guard captains?
Basically they are all around the second level.
According to the Archduke's original words, "Six is a person with legendary potential." Therefore, if possible, Goethe wanted to obtain stronger capital for the North.
Even if it cannot be strengthened in one go, it must be able to increase a little bit of foundation.
Goethe understood the principle of gathering sand into a tower and gathering armpits into fur.
"Our heritage?"
"this……"
"Can!"
When Schider was about to say something, he was interrupted by Simik Zollens on the side. The captain of the 22nd team of the 'Secret Keepers' agreed to Goethe's request without hesitation.
"Simic?"
Siddel looked at his friend in shock.
The inheritance of secret arts is the foundation of a person.
Even the foundation of a family.
"I am the only one in the Zuolunsi family, so I have the final say."
"I am willing to use the Zuolunsi family's [Sword Breathing Technique] as one of the bargaining chips in exchange for assistance from the North."
Simik Zollens said and looked at Goethe.
Goethe smiled and nodded.
"I will convey your request to my uncle."
"There is no guarantee that I will succeed in persuading my uncle."
"But I can promise that I will try my best because I see your sincerity."
After speaking, Goethe stood up and walked outside.
Simlei Ke followed.
When the door behind him closed and Simler Ke controlled his energy and blood to form a sound barrier, Goethe immediately asked.
"How about [Sword Breathing Technique]?"
"Very strong!"
"Getting started is very simple, but after that it requires extremely high talent - people who use this breathing method can have an unimaginable affinity with the long sword in their hands. When they reach a certain level, they can control the long sword to attack with their hands, and even make them
The long sword itself broke through the shackles of its own material and advanced to an unimaginable level."
"The first ancestor of the Zuo Lunsi family reached this level. He killed the legend with the third level. Although he died in the end, it was enough to prove the power of [Sword Breathing Technique]."
"But in the later stage of [Sword Breathing Technique], it should have extremely high demands on the body. The reason why the Zuolunsi family is so sparse must have suffered from the backlash of [Sword Breathing Technique]."
Simler Ke recalled the contents of [Sword Breathing Method] and briefly introduced it to Goethe.
"Is that so?"
"It can be popularized, but it cannot be refined to form high-end combat capabilities."
"This guy is much harder to deal with than that Sider."
Goethe said to himself.
Then, Simlei Ke tapped him on the shoulder.
Goethe looked back in confusion.
The eldest son of the Grand Duke placed his hand on Goethe's head.
"The North is not that weak."
"Don't worry, even if we can't find a popular secret technique inheritance, I will create a similar secret technique inheritance."
"so……"
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"As an elder brother, I am not as useless as you think."
The eldest son of the Grand Duke ruffled Goethe's hair and grinned.
"Well, I just want to take some of the pressure off our family."
"Brother, you are about to break through the legend. Both Emle. Ke and Gezier. Ke have hidden dangers, and my uncle needs to face even greater dangers."
"I can't just work like an idler every day, right?"
Goethe shrugged.
"How could you be an idler?"
"You have done enough for us, and as the youngest man in the Ke family, you naturally have some privileges - so don't let yourself become like Emle Ke and Gezi Ke.
appearance."
"After I am promoted to Legend, I will find ways to solve their hidden dangers."
"X, damn the royal family of Tesine."
Simlai Ke cursed in a low voice as he spoke.
If it weren't for George VI's layout and coercion, how could his two younger brothers be in such a big hidden danger?
Although George VI 'died'.
But this account was remembered by Simlei Ke.
Likewise, he also cared about Goethe.
"Remember, the Ke family still has me here, so you don't need to take risks."
Simler Ke smiled again, turned around and walked towards the Grand Duke's study.
"etc!"
Goethe shouted repeatedly.
"Um?"
Simulai Ke turned around in surprise.
"I am the youngest man in the Ke family, not the youngest man in the Ke family."
Goethe emphasized this very seriously.
It is a matter of dignity and must be taken seriously.
Simlai Ke was stunned.
Then he walked into the study room laughing.
Goethe looked at the tall figure.
I couldn't help but shook my head.
Of course, he never doubted Simulai Ke's words.
Just as he firmly believes that when danger occurs, Simle Ke, Emle Ke, Gejir Ke and the Grand Duke, they will definitely stand on his side, and they will definitely stand in front of him.
Before they die, they will never let the threat affect him.
But it was precisely because of this that he wanted to have Simlei Ke, Enmlei Ke, Gezier Ke and the Grand Duke 'present'.
He wants them alive!
Live well and stay safe!
He absolutely could not accept the situation where the Grand Duke's family fell in front of him just because they were protecting him.
In fact, whenever he thought of such a situation happening, Goethe felt uncomfortable all over and his whole heart twisted into a ball.
Therefore, he must make himself stronger.
The North must be made stronger.
This is no longer just about the "insecurity" when facing a strange environment at first, but also because of the bond called "family affection" that arises after becoming familiar with it.
Goethe was a stranger to family affection and orphans.
Before, he didn't know what true family love was like.
But now he believes that if there is family affection, it should be like the Grand Duke's family.
Majestic and stubborn fathers.
An older brother who has the same temperament and loves his younger siblings.
And two guys who are inconspicuous, but protect their families in their own way.
as well as……
Lovely sister.
Watched Simlai Ke walk into the study.
Goethe took a step to catch up.
There, there will be a family meeting.
"elder brother."
Just when Goethe was about to take a step, Nina's voice came from one side of the corridor - the youngest daughter of the Ke family was poking her head on the other side of the corridor.
"What's wrong, Nina?"
Goethe appeared next to Nina in a flash. After squatting down, his eyes were level with Nina's, and then he asked softly.
"Is there going to be another war?"
Nina asked, her little face full of worry.
"It's not a war."
"But..."
"Slaughter the fattened sheep."
Goethe said this.
"Slaughter the fattened sheep?"
Nina blinked a little confused.
"Nina is too young to understand these things, but I can assure Nina that there will be no war in the north this time."
Goethe was very impressive.
He wasn't bluffing Nina.
But with full confidence.
Following Simler's example, Goethe rubbed the top of Nina's head.
It feels good in hand.
However, Shila is still more fluffy.
"Can Nina make me a cake?"
"I ate too little for breakfast. I'm a little hungry."
Goethe asked with a smile.
"Okay, brother."
After the innocent Nina received Goethe's guarantee, she immediately turned around and ran towards the kitchen of Bear Castle.
Goethe stood there, looking at Nina's excitement and joy, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
How could he bear to disappoint such a lovely sister?
So, in order not to disappoint my sister...
Tesin, destroy you.
Goethe narrowed his eyes, coldness flowing in his eyes, and the originally incomplete plan began to gradually become complete.
After watching Nina disappear, he turned around and walked into the Grand Duke's study.
In the study, the Grand Duke, Simlei Ke, sat on one side, Emlei Ke leaned on his shoulder on the desk, and Gezier Ke walked around the room.
After seeing Goethe walking in, Gergil Ke immediately gave Goethe a gentle hammer.
"Tricked Nina into making you a cake again."
"again?"
"Is this the first time?"
"And I didn't lie."
"I assure you that the war will never spread to the north."
Goethe swore.
Gejir Ke was stunned.
Simlei Ke and Enmlei Ke looked serious.
In the minds of the three people, since they want to participate in the internal strife of the Tesine royal family, fighting is inevitable. If the war breaks out again, with Gerald Modeus George and Ronald Modeus
If St. George's style is used, the war will definitely spread to the north.
Is this what you want?
The third son of the Ke family was thinking.
The Grand Duke was more straightforward and asked directly.
"Goethe, what are you going to do?"
"Of course I agreed to the 'Secret Keeper'. After all, I am also a trainee Secret Keeper, so I can't break my promise to get rich. But I cannot represent the entire Northern Territory, I only represent myself."
"Uncle is naturally willing to support me."
"But Enmle Ke and Gezier Ke have other ideas."
"You know, Gerald Modeus George and Ronald Modeus George are still fighting among themselves. It really makes me sleepless to let them have such peaceful internal strife, so
, Enmlai, your shadow should take action, demand high rewards from both parties, and assassinate their senior officials. This is a personal act made by Enmlai to oppose me, and it has nothing to do with the North."
Goethe said.
"What about me?"
"Which one of those two do I stand on?"
Gergil Ke asked.
"you?"
"Would you like to choose one or two of Fabol, Rudes, Yatuk and Lidal?"
Goethe said.
"Other countries?"
Everyone in the study was stunned.
"Of course we have to drag the surrounding countries into the water. Only by dragging them all down can the northern border be truly safe - and it will also allow my uncle to contact those who deal with 'them' and become more hidden."
"We don't ask 'them' to never know, we just ask 'them' to know later."
"As for those countries?"
"Facing Tesin's territory, wealth, and resources, you should be very tempted, right?"
Goethe said seriously.
Compared with the enemies on the surface, Goethe was even more wary of the 'world's black hands' hidden behind the scenes.
"What about me?"
Simlei Ke asked.
"Brother, as the representative of the Northern Territory, you naturally want to issue an announcement that the Northern Territory will always be neutral on the internal strife in the Tesin royal family."
Goethe emphasized the pronunciation of the sentence "The North will always be neutral in the matter of internal strife in the royal family of Thesin".
Simler K nodded and immediately understood the meaning of Goethe's words.
Due to internal strife in the royal family of Tes, the North did not participate.
But if it's a 'foreign enemy invasion', it's time for the North to take action.
Just one more thing.
"Goethe, you have just promised the 'Keepers of Secrets' that they will immediately request troops for assistance. Will it be too late?"
"Besides, Enmlai and Gezier will not oppose you. Everyone knows the tradition of the Ke family."
Simler Ke still has some doubts.
"Of course I can."
"Don't forget our previous cooperation with the 'Tulip Family'!"
"I will soon be the male partner of a tragic and hard-working heroine. How can I lead an army and go on an expedition after suffering emotional setbacks? I must be pursuing my own 'love'!"
"This is reasonable, right?"
Goethe said and looked at everyone.
Everyone nodded.
"Then Emle. Ke and Gergil. Ke were dissatisfied with me for losing the 'territory' to Margarida Mag. But they just wanted to get Svetra Territory back from the 'Tulip Family', but they
Taking my emotions into consideration and privately having objections to sending troops to assist, does that make it reasonable?"
Goethe continued to ask.
Everyone nodded again.
"Under such a reasonable situation, a series of coincidences occurred, so that the delay in assisting the 'Keeper of Secrets' in time has become reasonable, right?"
"Well, it's reasonable."
"But, Goethe, your heart is really dirty."
"Are you really planning to eat everything and refuse to admit your guilt?"
Enmley Ke sighed.
"How is that possible?"
"How can you taint someone's innocence out of thin air?"
"I am also a young man who was hurt by love and trapped without realizing it. I don't know so much about the rights and wrongs of the world. I am also accidental and blame myself for the terrible consequences."
"So, I will definitely go to Bode, the capital of Tesin——"
"After I wake up!"
Goethe pretended to look sad.
"It's a bit fake."
Gergil K commented.
"It's good if someone believes me."
Goethe answered with a smile. Then, he turned around, looked at the Grand Duke, and asked very seriously——
"Uncle, are the 'Keepers of Secrets' really monolithic?"
