In the whale's stomach, Goethe, who turned over and sat up, did not immediately look at the [Mad King's Ring], but instead added [Good Luck] to himself again.
Over the past week, stacking "good luck" has become Goethe's instinctive behavior.
Goethe knew very well the situation he was facing.
Once he is found by that guy again, he won't be able to escape as easily as before.
The previous 'water man' was just a puppet of the other party.
Appearing again now?
Naturally, it’s the other person himself.
The various miraculous phenomena displayed by the "Water Man" were still fresh in Goethe's memory.
Not just the kind of attack that goes against his common sense.
besides……
storm!
That’s right!
It's a storm!
That is beyond the scope of manpower. Even a legendary level expert cannot create it. Even if it is to arrange rituals and the like, it is only on a small scale. It covers a city with a population of one million, which is quite remarkable.
And how big is the inner bay?
It would take about two weeks for them to set off from Bear Castle, pass by Calgallon Island, and then arrive at the Port of Marne in Fabre.
Was such a large-scale ‘storm’ man-made?
I’ve never heard of Goethe!
But it just showed up!
This forced Goethe to think about the worst.
Because, in some biographical myths, ‘gods’ are able to do such things.
Goethe didn't know whether the other party was a god.
But he knew that what he was facing now was a guy who looked like a 'god'.
Faced with such a guy, Goethe would never confront him without complete assurance.
Therefore, he superimposed [Good Luck] to make his hiding smoother while waiting for the cooling time of [Mad King's Ring].
Over the past week, he had lived every minute and every second with trepidation.
Several times, his [heart] felt extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, good luck always accompanies him, and he finally made it through without any danger.
Now!
It’s finally time to get rid of it!
The [Mad King's Ring] on the index finger of his left hand shone with a brilliance that only Goethe could see.
In the deep night sky, the 'stars' representing the secret realm changed again.
The secret realm that represents folk customs has begun to alienate. After alienation, it is a little higher than the red stars, and its color becomes red and purple.
At this moment, the seven stars turned into a slightly weird 'F' shape. The main trunk started from the dim stars representing the 'Crazy Secret Realm of Doomsday', and went through the white 'Fighting Secret Realm', the gray 'Unknown Secret Realm', and the black 'Unknown Secret Realm'
, red 'Unknown Secret Realm', and between black and red, extends a black and red star representing 'Poirot Marple's writing career', and above the red is a red star representing 'Folklore Secret Realm'
Purple stars.
"After alienation, is it more dangerous than red?"
Goethe took a breath.
He has long been familiar with the arrangement of secret realms in [The Ring of the Mad King].
The secret realm represented by the dim stars is free from danger.
As the color changes, the danger begins to increase.
Red was the most dangerous color before.
But now something more dangerous appeared, which made Goethe immediately give up the idea of returning to the secret realm of 'folklore' - he originally planned to rely on the foundation he had laid before and go back to continue harvesting secret arts and [bloody honor].
Now it seems that I have to give up.
Because, just staring at the red-purple stars, he seemed to be seeing death.
Not only on the three stars, red-purple, red, red-black, and black, which represented different secret realms, he also saw the shadow of death more or less.
The red color is the most intense.
Black is the lightest.
But that feeling of suffocation made the hairs on his back stand up.
Immediately, Goethe chose to give up.
Naturally, Goethe's eyes turned to the gray 'Unknown Secret Realm' and the white 'Fighting Secret Realm'.
As for the bleak ‘Doomsday Crazy Secret’?
The place with the lowest danger was used as a refuge by Goethe.
Goethe will not activate it until the last step.
But when Goethe's eyes fell on the gray and white secret realm, his expression changed slightly.
Because, in his expectation, the white 'fighting secret realm' that should be safe is full of unknowns, and his [heart] is warning him - it is still the danger of death, although it is greater than what the black star secret realm gives him
The threat of death is much less, but the feeling of death is real.
"Did the hidden secret room left by the 'Martial Saint' attract a very scary guy?"
Goethe recalled the situation when he left before and couldn't help but ponder.
Although he made arrangements, such arrangements obviously couldn't make those greedy guys leave.
Those guys surrounded the original martial arts hall of the 'Martial Saint', staring at their prey like evil wolves. Not only did they refuse to give up, they were also waiting for the moment when the prey relaxed its vigilance.
It only takes a moment for those guys to pounce and kill their prey with one blow.
"If I had known better, I would have given these guys the Mad King's collection."
When Goethe thought about the wonderful expressions on those guys' faces after seeing that the so-called "Martial Saint" collection was a pile of dolls of equal proportions, he couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth.
He looked towards the gray unknown secret realm.
[Good Luck] When combined, his ‘inspiration’ became extremely clear.
There is no shadow of death.
It means there is no fatal danger.
And when he saw the gray unknown secret realm, Goethe smelled the sweet and attractive smell again, just like cream cake - he had also smelled it before in the secret realm that represented 'fighting'.
And that time, he got a 'good harvest'.
Without hesitation, Goethe took out his specially made 'pendulum' and began to further confirm.
"Can this place solve my immediate troubles?"
The gold coins with the image of the ‘Mad King’ imprinted on them are still different.
After a full three or four seconds, it started to rotate clockwise very weakly.
Obviously, there is a solution to the current crisis, but it is difficult to obtain.
Even, basically impossible.
In this regard, Goethe was not discouraged. Something was better than nothing.
he continued to ask.
"Is there any mortal danger to me here?"
Although 'inspiration' told him that he did not, for the sake of caution, Goethe habitually confirmed further.
The gold coins still paused for a moment.
But unlike before, there is no rotation this time.
Neither clockwise nor counterclockwise.
It just stood there out of nowhere.
"Unknown?"
"Does it mean that I may suffer fatal harm because of some of my actions?"
Goethe frowned.
Then, he asked again.
"Will I harvest a lot of [Bloody Honor] here?"
This time, the pendulum didn't pause at all and started spinning clockwise.
Seeing this extremely certain answer, Goethe breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of this accident, the fifth required item and additional options for him to advance to the 'Berserker' were completely missing, and he had to use [Bloody Honor] instead.
The sudden unexpected expenditure of 9 [Bloody Honors] made Goethe, who only had 13 [Bloody Honors], suddenly stretched.
This is because he had already taken a portion of the 'Spiritual Stone Stalactite' when he was at Bear's Castle. Otherwise, it would have directly exceeded the upper limit of what he could bear.
"Maybe I can go and complete the necessary option 5?"
"After all, I have the nautical map given to me by Simulai Ke. As long as I get to the place, I can kill a giant fish quickly..."
Calculating the number of [Bloody Honors], Goethe, who was a bit 'frugal and frugal', couldn't help but feel lucky.
Suddenly, a sense of oppression appeared in his heart.
Mixed with the smell of death.
Moreover, even if Goethe gave up this idea, this sense of oppression still existed.
Even more and more intense.
"not good!"
"That guy is here!"
Goethe was shocked, and without any further hesitation, he chose the gray star.
Immediately, Goethe disappeared.
And the next second Goethe disappeared.
puff!
With the sound of flesh and blood being cut, the whale was split into two.
Nice, holding a trident, patrolled with both eyes.
No sign of Goethe was found in the flesh, which made Nice very angry.
He also just thought about whether Goethe might be hiding in the belly of a large fish.
Immediately, he took action.
I completely ignored why it took me so long to think of this possibility.
He just knows.
If there is nothing in the belly of this whale, then Goethe must be hiding in the belly of another whale.
"Hide! Hide!"
"I will definitely find you!"
Saying these words, Nice's body merged into the sea water and rushed towards the next large fish.
…
After feeling slightly dizzy, Goethe appeared in a room of about 10 square meters.
There is a huge travel bag at his feet, which contains all the props including the [Blade of Blood Cruelty].
He raised his head and looked at the bunk bed next to him, and his eyes moved past the two desks, two wooden wardrobes, a wooden chair, and a gas lamp that required coin operation one by one opposite the bed.
Finally, stop at the door on the side wall.
The door is open and you can clearly see the faucet in the bathroom.
Although the sense of time is different, the layout is extremely familiar, which made Goethe startled.
"dormitory?"
Then, lines of text began to appear in front of his eyes——

Goethe frowned and looked at the paper on the desk to the left of him.
The light yellow parchment has beautiful cursive writing on it——

…
Looking at the words on this parchment, Goethe couldn't help but frown.
Not only was the 'secret realm' in front of him a bit beyond his expectation, but what surprised Goethe was that when he looked at these words, a series of judgments began to appear in his heart.
Although the judgment passed every time, Goethe had a bad premonition.
Immediately afterwards, the parchment in his hand burst into flames in the next moment and burned straight away.
Goethe immediately let go.
Suddenly, the parchment fell to the ground and burned even more intensely.
The moment you take a breath, you will be completely burned.
That’s right!
Just clean!
Not even a speck of ashes was left on the ground.
Goethe frowned even more tightly.
And at this time——
Boom, boom!
"Check the dormitory."
There was a very rhythmic knock on the door, and a relatively cold voice sounded.
Goethe opened the door, and standing outside was a young male teacher wearing a nameplate.
The other person was wearing a teacher's suit, had a neatly trimmed beard, and the nameplate on his chest read 'Woody'.
"Freshman, you should change into your school uniform and go to the auditorium as soon as possible."
Seeing Goethe in his regular clothes, the teacher frowned.
Goethe ignored it, picked up the travel bag containing his personal belongings, looked at the teacher with a smile, and said clearly: "Teacher, I apply to drop out of school!"
