Staying up during the day and going out at night, sleeping in the open air.
A month later, Emlei Ke and Gezier Ke finally returned to the Northland.
Looking at the water of the Simle River in the distance, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
This month's journey has not been pleasant.
From the day they left the capital of Tesin, Bode, turmoil broke out throughout Tesin. The most direct one was that the train track leading directly to the north was bombed.
So the two had to return on foot.
Moreover, in order to avoid the checkpoints set up by the two princes, they had to deviate from the road and be careful.
"What happened?"
"Those groups turned hostile overnight."
"Even until death."
"Could it be those guys from abroad?"
Gejir Ke sat on a stone, holding in his hand the message just sent by the 'Shadow' - because the two of them were so careful that the 'Shadow' could not confirm their whereabouts. Only when the two of them approached the Northland
, only to find the two of them when they walked back onto the road.
"no."
"Whether it's Rudes, Yatuk, or Lidar, Fabol has such 'power', Tesin will be finished long ago."
"There is no way that George VI will 'die'."
"It should be..."
"'They' are having internal strife!"
Enmlek, who had read the secret letter earlier, picked up a branch and started writing and drawing on the ground.
Gejilk looked around, and immediately a map of Tesine that did not include the Northland appeared in the sight of the third son of the Grand Duke.
"Look where the commotion broke out!"
Enmley Ke took the branch and lit it.
Gejir Ke looked at the several points, frowned slightly, and soon his eyes lit up.
"buffer!"
"Buffer zone!"
"Every turbulent place had no large organizations before, and they were all small forces. And these forces involved in the turmoil are all the surrounding big forces. Therefore, these cities are deliberately created buffer zones.
!”
Gergil Ke said quickly.
"Um!"
"The power of being able to deliberately create a buffer zone within the entire Tesine is self-evident, and in these turmoils, the strength displayed by both sides is even more surprising. There are more than thirty second-order people, and two
The third level is involved - this is more than one level better than the information collected by 'Shadow' before."
"Especially on weekdays, these guys can hold back and keep silent."
"So, I can't think of anyone else but 'them'."
Enmley Ke nodded.
"But why do they want to start internal strife?"
Gergil Ke was puzzled.
"have no idea."
"That's what they have to ask themselves."
"However, this is good news for us. At least the attention of Gerald, Ronald and other countries has been attracted, and our actions will become easier."
"Let's go, keep going!"
Enmley Ke stood up with a smile.
He took a distant look at Halest, the largest city in the north.
Walk along the Simle River towards the 'Bear's Castle'.
"etc!"
"My father is going to contact others to deal with 'them', right?"
After taking two steps, Gergil Ke suddenly stopped.
In response, Enmlek rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry!"
"Father is more alert than you think!"
"You are fine, of course father is fine!"
Saying these words, the Grand Duke's second son continued to lead the donkey that had lost weight.
The Third Prince was stunned for a moment, then nodded and followed.
Gezier Ke admitted that Emre Ke was right.
but……
"Are you calling me stupid?"
Gezier Ke quickly walked to Enmlai Ke and looked at his brother with suspicion.
The second son of the Grand Duke smiled.
He shook his head and said.
"No."
"That's your illusion, my dear silly brother."
…
Angke looked at the Duke of Northland in front of him and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
"Your Highness, when did you find me?"
The last guardian knight of the Steinbeck family was very curious.
Because of the long-term pursuit, he believed that his ability to conceal his whereabouts was extremely strong. Otherwise, he and Skiffins Steinbeck would have been killed long ago, but this time they were discovered by the Grand Duke of the North.
No!
To be precise, when he was discovered, he immediately hid his whereabouts again, but he could not get rid of the Northern Archduke several times in a row.
Scrooge stood there, like a standing brown bear, and let out a hearty laugh.
"Accident! What a coincidence!"
The Grand Duke said this.
It's a pity that even a fool doesn't believe such words.
Angke is not a fool.
He sighed.
The palm of his hand grasped the hilt of the sword.
He knew very well why the Duke of the North came.
Skeffins Steinbeck!
The Lord he is loyal to!
He will never betray this gentleman!
He will never betray his oath!
That……
There is only one battle left!
Thinking of this, Angke's eyes became tough.
He made final preparations.
Immediately, the guardian knight's momentum rose.
But just when the momentum was about to reach its peak, Scrooge took a step forward.
Bang!
The footsteps are silent.
The momentum suddenly rose.
Just like the collision of invisible force fields, with a muffled sound, Angke flew out, broke two trees, and then stopped his momentum and fell to the ground.
Wow!
The last guardian knight of the Steinbeck family opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He raised his head and looked at the Duke of the North in disbelief.
He knew that the Grand Duke of the North had been promoted to legend.
Can……
Are legends that strong?
Impossible!
How is it possible?
The last guardian knight of the Steinbeck family was stunned.
And Scrooge Grams said directly——
"Send a message to Skeffins Steinbeck!"
"Tell that guy that I have the key to the Dragon Island and Fairy Lake. If he wants it, just go to Fabol!"
"I'll wait for him there!"
After saying this, the Grand Duke turned and left.
Although no more atmosphere was leaked, this is after all near Bode.
It is likely to attract a lot of unnecessary trouble.
It's better to leave.
Especially after the recent discovery of the 'proxy war', the Grand Duke became even more cautious.
For 'them', the Grand Duke's most direct impression was that of 'secret'.
Other than that, he didn't think much about it.
If it weren't for this continuous 'turmoil', he would never have imagined that there would be a 'proxy war'.
Similarly, the appearance of 'agents' also made the Grand Duke think about whether there should be so-called 'agents' among the targets he was looking for, right?
When this idea appeared, the Grand Duke immediately changed his original plan.
Turn the original person into a ‘trustworthy person’.
For example: Steinbeck.
For example: George VI.
Both of these guys can be trusted.
Although in some ways, it is really dangerous.
But such danger can turn into a 'dependence' at a critical moment.
Angko watched the Grand Duke leave.
After taking a few deep breaths, he stood up, cleaned up the blood on the ground, and walked quickly in a certain direction.
Just ten minutes after the two left, a patrol appeared here.
This is a complete 'hyena' formation, with a 'vulture'.
After careful inspection, the team recorded everything.
Just when the captain wanted to analyze, a signal flare rose in the distance.
"Some damn guy is causing trouble again!"
"Walk!"
The 'hyena' turned and rushed towards the place where the signal flare was raised.
However, when they arrived, the village built to rely on the capital of Tesin, Bode, was already lifeless, and all humans and animals were dead.
Not simply kill.
But being sucked dry!
The blood and flesh of all animals have been sucked dry.
The ground was covered with skinny and boneless mummies.
"This is the fourth time in a month!"
"The bastard of the Church of Flesh and Blood!"
"I heard that the escaped flesh and blood high priest did this to take revenge on us!"
A 'pup' in the 'hyena' team whispered.
"You work in groups of three to check if there are any alive."
The 'adult dog' in the 'hyena' arranged the task. When the three 'puppies' began to check one side, he moved to the other side, while the 'vulture' was hiding in the dark.
The whole village is not big, with only about two hundred people.
The person who sent out the signal flare should be someone from the covert force on the opposite side.
The 'adult dog' found each other quickly.
Climb there face down, the flare remains on the side.
Um?
Face down?
The remains of the flare were intact but thrown aside!
Suddenly, a word came to his mind.
trap!
That guy killed the covert troops and then used flares to lure them here!
"withdraw……"
Thinking of this, this 'adult dog' would yell.
But before the sound could truly appear, a black shadow bit his throat.
Suck!
Suck!
Amidst the low and continuous sucking sounds, the 'adult dog' shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Muscles, fat, including internal organs, all flowed into the shadow's mouth along with blood.
In less than ten seconds, this 'adult dog' became a different kind of mummy.
"As expected of the 'hyena' I trained."
"The response is not too slow."
In the low voice, the black shadow revealed its true face.
It was George VI.
It's just different from the previous George VI.
At this time, George VI's eyes were not only red, but the body that originally belonged to 'Hotmas' was slightly skinny, his old body had also become stronger, and his breath was filled with a strong smell of blood.
King George VI lowered his head and glanced at his left hand that had stopped decaying, feeling slightly relieved in his heart.
"The secret technique of the 'Flemish Church' really works."
"Moreover, the flesh and blood of extraordinary people is more effective than imagined."
"I can vaguely sense that the blood in this 'Rose Family' body is heading towards the fourth awakening!"
King George VI stood there and pondered.
The discovery of the shelter.
He had to change his plan.
He took the risk to use the secret techniques of the Flesh Church—he originally used these secret techniques as trophies, but what he didn't expect was that they would be useful and quite good at this time.
The magic of fate!
King George VI sighed.
This also allowed King George VI to change his plan.
He wants to complete the fourth awakening in the body of 'Hotmas' and step into the 'Legend'. Only by entering the 'Legend' can he gain a place in the major events that will follow.
Otherwise, they are no better than chess pieces.
He knows very well what happened in Tesin recently.
‘They’ are fighting among themselves.
As for the reason?
Naturally, it was because he took away some of Ashidal's half-finished potions.
The other party had a misunderstanding because of this matter.
In this regard, George VI had no more ideas.
All he knew was that after the shelter was discovered, it was a good opportunity for him.
It is also the only chance.
Therefore, he controlled the rhythm and scope very skillfully.
He didn't want to attract some untouchable enemies at this time.
Therefore, when George VI saw Skeffins Steinbeck, his heart tightened.
For this young man who was once hunted by him.
King George VI was wary of the other party from the bottom of his heart.
Because, in his recent thinking, he discovered that his so-called pursuit seemed to be that the other party was deliberately cooperating with him, and even... was guiding him from the very beginning.
"Long time no see, His Majesty King George VI."
"You look a little embarrassed."
Skeffins Steinbeck bowed in a false manner.
King George VI immediately took a step back, his eyes full of vigilance.
"Your actions make me sad. After all, we have cooperated before."
"Oh."
King George VI responded with a sneer.
He still remembers that collaboration more vividly.
Layout for many years.
But the other party picked the peach.
I'm really holding my breath.
Anger aroused the blood in George VI's body, the red in his eyes began to flash like a light bulb, and the smell of blood became more and more intense.
But immediately, George VI calmed down.
"What do you want to do?"
asked King George VI.
"nothing."
"I just want to tell you that the high priest of the 'Flesh Church' has already appeared in the North. According to the itinerary, he should be heading to Fabol. If you don't want to miss the last chance, you must speed up.
"
Saying these words, Skeffins Steinbeck raised his hand to open the door and disappeared behind the door.
King George VI stood there thinking.
Finally, bite the bullet.
Turn to the north.
And somewhere in a secret place.
Skifens Steinbeck, who returned, looked at Angke with doubts and couldn't help but laugh.
"What's the matter, Angke?"
"Sir, how do you know that the flesh-and-blood high priest is the hand of the North Underground?"
The guardian knight couldn't help but asked.
"Because Scrooge, the old bear, appeared near Bode and found you."
"It's also because Emreke hasn't appeared at the club for a long time."
"It's also because my dear brother left Bear Castle."
Skiffins Steinbeck replied.
Angke scratched his head and didn't understand.
But he knows that it is good to trust his own adults.
"Then what should we do?"
Angko asked.
"To Fabol, of course."
"I miss the sight of Sark a little now, and I wonder if His Majesty would secretly use a silver needle to test for poison when he was drinking."
As he said this, Skeffins Steinbeck laughed out loud.
At the same time, the corners of Goethe's mouth also turned up.
In a dense forest cave outside the Port of Marne.
I originally thought it would lead to one battle after another immediately.
But what he didn't expect was that he actually spent a month peacefully.
The ‘Secret Realm’ also completed its cooling.
Is there any need to think about it?
Of course, I choose to enter the ‘secret realm’ and get another wave of enhancements.
Goethe smiled and raised his hand to rub the "Mad King's Ring".
Looking at the stars in the deep night sky, he immediately made a decision.
