On a large four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage, old Newt, who was driving the car, handed Goethe a piece of shriveled cake. It would take 8-9 weeks to walk from Port Marne to Sac, the capital of Fabol, but if you take a team carriage
It will be much faster, and if you are riding alone, you can reduce the time by at least half.
Goethe's Uppen carriage was a caravan.
The manager of the caravan is Old Newt, and the guards are Big Newt and Little Newt. Both of them are sons of Old Newt. One is riding a horse to explore the way in front, and the other is standing on the top of the carriage to look around.
Old Newt's wife and her two daughters-in-law followed behind in another pony carriage.
It's obvious that this is a family caravan.
Such caravans are common in Fabol.
They all move as a family unit, traveling between Port Marne and Sac, and even more places.
Most of them make a living through commodity trade.
Of course, there is also the messaging.
Big Newt's wife is recording something.
Little Newt's wife was holding a crossbow and cooperating with her husband to explore the surrounding area.
The family has a clear division of labor.
Goethe put the shriveled pancake into his mouth, drank some water, and waited until the pancake was completely soaked before chewing it.
Crunchy and crunchy.
It has a strong wheat flavor.
It also has some bran flavor.
Therefore, when chewing and swallowing, you have to drink water in large gulps, otherwise your throat will rattle.
And this was only possible because Goethe paid the corresponding "meal expenses" - Goethe joined this caravan at a fork in the road three days away from Sack for a fee of "three silvers".
3 silver is the cost of riding a carriage.
It also covers food expenses.
and accommodation costs.
Of course, the food is not that great.
Most of the three meals a day consisted of dry pancakes. In the evening, dried meat the size of a little finger was cooked into soup, and then everyone, including old Newt and his family, shared it. Goethe could share a bowl.
There are no vegetables.
Vegetables on the road are expensive, just like seafood.
"Buchai said, at first I thought you were a bad guy. After all, there are very few people who hitchhike so close to Sark. Most of them are guys with ulterior motives... Well, speaking of it, your name is really good."
strangeness."
The closer we get to Sarco, the capital of Fabol, the more talkative Old Newt becomes.
As his vigilance dropped, Old Newt became more and more enthusiastic about Goethe.
Buchai Road?
This is Goethe's pseudonym, which naturally means "no hatchet".
"Names, they all carry a person's beautiful wishes..."
"Last wish?"
"No, it's the will!"
Goethe corrected old Newt's accent.
"Wish? Last wish? Your northern accent is too strong, I can't tell the difference, but it shouldn't matter, hahahaha!"
Old Newt laughed loudly.
Tsk, it doesn’t matter.
It's a matter of life!
Goethe curled his lips, shrank his hands in his sleeves, and counted again.
Similar to the previous results, it is still somewhat dangerous.
It seems that there is something wrong with Buchai Road!
Next time it will be called ‘Kentin Buchai Road’!
Goethe thought in his heart.
At this time, Big Newt came back on horseback, with a slightly ugly look on his face, and made Old Newt hold the sword at his waist.
"what happens?"
"Father, come and take a look!"
Big Newt replied.
After Old Newt signaled to Little Newt, he pulled over the two carriages and then walked forward with his eldest son and his sword. About five hundred meters away, two carriages stopped in the middle of the road, carrying goods.
Scattered all over the ground, many of them were still covered with corpses.
When old Newt saw the body, his expression changed drastically.
He finally understood why the always steady eldest son looked like that.
There were seven bodies in total.
Each corpse appears mummified.
"Yes, the Flanders."
After checking it, Old Newt said in a deep voice.
The Flanders family was acquaintances of Newt Sr. and was also a member of the family caravan. However, unlike him, the Flanders family had five sons. As the eldest son, second son, and third son grew up, their family's business grew.
As it became more popular, he dared to go to some remote places, especially after hearing that his eldest son had received training in the military camp and was very strong in swordsmanship.
Thinking in his heart, Old Newt looked at the obviously 'strong' one among the mummies.
The opponent held the sword hilt tightly, but the sword was broken.
It was obvious that the attackers had the power to crush them.
However, the four horses pulling the cart were fine.
"Only attack people!"
Having come to this conclusion, old Newt immediately retreated with his eldest son, and then, without saying a word, chose to take a detour - his experience as a businessman for many years told him that it was best to do this.
Even if it does, it will arrive two days later than planned.
But, is it better than losing your life?
Goethe faced the cautious old Newt without any dissatisfaction. Borrowing the vision of [Blood Raven Spirit], Goethe had already seen that scene.
Moreover, he also saw an ‘old acquaintance’.
Hotmass!
Or to be precise...
King George VI!
Even though Fabol VII ordered that the incident that happened in the Sac Palace not be publicized, some people still knew about it, especially people like the second daughter of the Tulip family, who knew everything about it.
The second daughter of the Tulip family knows.
Goethe naturally knew it too.
Even know more.
Because in his plan, George VI was one of the links.
Now that the other party has appeared here.
There will be no problem proving his plan.
However, King George VI's condition does not look very good at the moment.
Even observing from the perspective of [Blood Crow Spirit], Goethe could see that the other party was enduring severe pain all the time.
"The backlash after resurrection?"
Goethe guessed, and after leaving a [Blood Crow Spirit] staring at the opponent, he closed his eyes and recalled the plan he had with the 'gentleman' Eichdal a week ago.
It was he, the agent of 'Esenko', who came forward to stir up the entire Sac situation, attract the attention of Fabol VII, and lead him to the 'lumberjack', 'apothecary', 'farmer', and 'hunter'
' Nearby, both sides will suffer losses, and they will benefit from each other - among them, 'Gentleman' Aishidal, 'Wolf', and 'Snake' are responsible for leading the target people into the trap.
Goethe didn't have to worry about how to attract the target person.
Just like 'gentleman' Ehidar would not ask him what to do.
However, the 'gentleman' gave him a list.
They are all prominent figures in Sac.
They are also agents of ‘lumberjacks’, ‘pharmacists’, ‘farmers’ and ‘hunters’.
The 'gentleman' didn't say anything, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Goethe had no objection to this.
For Goethe, it was all about catching rabbits, incidentally.
The time agreed upon by both parties is three weeks later.
The location is near Sac.
Where exactly, 'Gentleman' Aishidal did not say.
This made Goethe even more vigilant.
The other party's ill intentions became more and more obvious.
Therefore, he also needs some allies.
And when the vision returned by [Blood Crow Spirit] allowed him to see someone, Goethe immediately made up his mind.
…
At night, George VI hid in a cave.
The body he borrowed was more talented than he imagined. Long before he left Tesine, the other party had completed his fourth awakening.
Unfortunately, it is not the power of transforming into a dragon.
But after the ‘divine speed’, ‘divine power’ and ‘holy body’…
‘Holy Flame’!
It can burn enemies, especially the undead, the shadow power has miraculous effects, and it can also heal yourself.
It's a pretty good power.
But for George VI at this moment, it was fatal.
He could feel himself being burned all the time.
He felt that he was extremely unlucky.
According to his understanding of the Rose Family, the power of the fourth awakening should be the follow-up to the 'Holy Body'. It is only right to deeply tap into the power of the 'Holy Body' again and allow the bodies and minds of the Rose Family to reach a higher level again.
And ‘Holy Flame’?
It's extremely rare.
It is as rare as the power of 'transforming a dragon'.
To put it simply, he got lucky.
But this kind of luck was really bad for him.
King George VI recalls what has happened since his 'awakening'.
First, he was 'quickly arrived' by the Steinbeck brat, then he was discovered in a seamless 'shelter', and then he expected to step into the legend faster, but the body he possessed awakened the 'sacred flame' aimed at him.
"First Evolution"
Each of these, one after another, almost made the former king of Tesin roar in anger.
He felt he was being targeted.
It was as if a pair of invisible black hands were controlling his destiny.
"no!"
"This can't go on like this!"
"Everything must be reversed!"
King George VI showed fierceness in his eyes.
Among the secret techniques of the 'Flesh Church', there is an extremely strict, but also extremely magical secret technique: replacement!
Replace the current bloodline awakening talent!
Only the flesh and blood of a thousand people are needed as sacrifices!
Leave Sark temporarily, find a small town, and complete the blood sacrifice!
Although there are many people in Sark, Fabol VII is not something he can provoke now. Once discovered by the opponent, he will be reduced to ashes with a breath of dragon breath.
In order to suppress the backlash, he had exposed his whereabouts before.
I'm afraid it won't be long before he is discovered.
leave!
Must leave immediately!
Thinking of this, George VI in the cave was ready to get up and leave.
But at this moment, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, blocking the way.
It's Skeffins Steinbeck.
The other person smiled and looked at George VI.
"Your Majesty, you are really in a sorry state!"
"Get out of the way!"
King George VI drank.
The relationship between the two parties is quite delicate.
Not an enemy, but not a friend either.
At most, they are just allies who have the same interests at certain times but can betray each other.
"Hey, I also said that I can help you with your situation."
As he spoke, a test tube potion appeared in Skeffens Steinbeck's hand.
When the test tube appeared, George VI stopped in his tracks.
His intuition told him that this potion was useful.
However, his eyes were still wary and suspicious.
Skeffins. Why did Steinbeck have such a potion?
"The Steinbeck family is not a good name."
"It brings luck but also misfortune."
"In order to suppress this misfortune, we need to use various means, including wandering, including this drug - so, in this regard, we are really experts."
Self-mockery appeared on Skiffins Steinbeck's face.
King George VI didn't pay much attention to it.
“What do I have to give?”
There is not that much friendship between the two parties, and it is not said in vain.
Moreover, even if there is friendship.
It also needs to be profitable to last long.
"'them'!"
Skeffins Steinbeck said softly.
Immediately, King George VI narrowed his eyes.
Compared with his previous vigilance, George VI was completely on alert at this time.
"You look like this...don't tell me that you are also one of the so-called 'agents'!"
"no!"
"But I..."
Faced with Skiffins Steinbeck's words, George VI immediately shook his head, but was immediately interrupted by the heir of the 'Wandering Family'.
"I know you're involved with one of 'them'."
"I also know that you have successfully used some of 'their' agents."
"But what does that matter?"
"This doesn't stop us from doing 'them' together!"
Skeffins Steinbeck looked as if he was taking it for granted.
George VI remained silent.
"Are you worried about the contract?"
"You also possess the secret skills of the Flesh Church. You should know very well that those contracts are not a constraint for you at all...on the contrary, they can also be your help."
"Or are you worried about being exposed?"
"Don't worry."
"My potion will help you."
Skeffins Steinbeck said softly.
Just like the devil's whisper, George VI always had some thoughts that should not have occurred.
Or to be more precise!
These thoughts already exist!
Just because some objective ideas have been suppressed!
And now?
Then it popped up again.
George VI knew the man in front of him quite well. He was not only bold, but also well-planned. Since the other party mentioned it, he must be quite sure of it.
"Who among 'them' are you going to deal with?"
asked King George VI.
"'Bartender'!"
Skeffins Steinbeck gave a code name.
King George VI frowned.
As far as he knew, the 'bartender' was not the strongest among 'them', but he was definitely the one with the best information and the best connections.
It's hard to deal with such a person.
Once you can't kill with one hit.
Then just wait to be hunted to the ends of the earth.
Moreover, the opponent is not weak.
How can you be weak if you can become ‘them’?
George VI was not so arrogant as to ignore the other party.
"Why?"
asked King George VI.
"Because he sold the Steinbeck family false news, which almost caused the Steinbeck family to disappear."
Skeffins Steinbeck replied.
"But he's not easy to deal with!"
King George VI emphasized.
"So, we have to let opponents of the same level take action against him, for example -"
"'them'!"
"Don't tell me that you haven't noticed any recent changes in the 'agent'."
"I don't know what happened, but this is our chance."
Skeffins Steinbeck laughed.
"no."
"It's still not safe enough."
King George VI still shook his head.
Having already died once, he cherishes life very much.
