"It is the property of a businessman. The businessman is busy with his career and has moved his family to Port Marne. There was a tsunami before and unfortunately his whole family died - this place was inherited by a distant relative."
"That distant relative?"
"On the way here."
After lighting the fireplace, Skeffins Steinbeck explained while holding hot milk.
However, Goethe's eyes were on the hot milk.
The heir to the Steinbeck family frowned slightly, a little reluctantly, but finally brought Goethe a glass of hot milk.
"Add sugar."
Goethe said immediately.
call!
The heir to the Steinbeck family took a deep breath, conjured up some more sugar, and added it.
He doesn't like sharing food.
But if it were Goethe.
It's fine if he grits his teeth.
Who told him to be his younger brother?
Skeffins Steinbeck hypnotized himself as much as possible.
After handing the milk to Goethe, Steinbeck placed a ring on the table.
【Fair eye of truth】!
Goethe glanced at it and confirmed the information about this prop.
Then, he looked at Skiffins Steinbeck with pretense of confusion.
The other party took out another prop.
[Predator's Scale: Among the ancestors of the Steinbeck family, the most famous one is the 'coward' Grant Steinbeck, because six hundred and sixty-six years ago, he was scared to death by a clown. All the tribesmen thought this was incredible.
However, 233 years ago, Grant Steinbeck discovered the secret of his ancestors: Grant Steinbeck was a thief who was once called a "predator", not
Stealing other people's property, but stealing other people's abilities - and this is his own ability!】
[Effect: 1, steal; 2, satisfy]
[Stealing: When you defeat or kill the opponent, you can steal the opponent's power and ability, but it is absolutely impossible to obtain the opponent's memory and secrets, and you cannot exceed your upper limit]
[Satisfaction: Your ability is extremely greedy. Once you gain a share of strength or ability, you should give up a share of your strength or ability to satisfy it. When you are unable to satisfy it, you will use your lifespan as a support.
point.】
(Note 1: ‘Predator’s Scale’ is the only ability awakened by Grant Steinbeck in this world. Only descendants of the Steinbeck family can awaken such an ability, but the awakening rate is almost negligible)
(Note 2: ‘The Predator’s Scale’ is a prop that only descendants of the Steinbeck family can use.)
(Note 3: This is a prop that embodies abilities and cannot be brought into the secret realm)
(Note 4: When one’s lifespan is insufficient, death will occur, and those who possess and awaken the ‘Predator’s Scale’ will not be able to accurately predict their own lifespan)
…
This is a bracelet.
It looks dark and very inconspicuous.
There are neither special patterns nor obvious signs.
But the power of the props made Goethe take a breath.
Do you actually have this kind of ‘ability’?
It seemed that he noticed Goethe's shock.
Skeffins Steinbeck explained softly.
"The power of warlocks is very special. In the 'Golden Age' they were called the descendants of gods and demons. But in the 'Silver Age', a large number of intermarriages and mixed blood made the power of warlocks even more unpredictable."
"As for the 'Bronze Age'?"
"Some warlocks have the power to even chase ancestors."
"certainly!"
"The 'Black Iron Age' ended it all."
Skeffins Steinbeck said, making a mouth gesture with his mouth, which was——
Witch!
Goethe's heart trembled.
A witch again.
"Are you thinking it's them again?"
"I don't have the ability to read minds. Although I really want to, I really don't have it."
"The reason why I know this is because when I first learned about this secret, I had the same thoughts as you."
Skifens Steinbeck said and put the [Plunderer's Scale] in Goethe's hand.
On the dark bracelet, strange colors flashed.
But it was fleeting.
But this is enough.
The fact that Goethe had "lucky blood" was once again confirmed.
Of course, there's also 'misfortune', 'curse' and 'madness'.
"Is this what you want to tell me?"
Goethe looked at the [Predator's Scale] in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Skiffins Steinbeck first took out the "Fair Eyes of Truth" to prove that he did not peep.
He also used [Predator's Scale] to once again confirm his identity and bloodline.
Some obvious answers began to appear in Goethe's mind.
He looked at [The Predator's Scale] again and returned it to Skiffins Steinbeck.
The latter saw Goethe's reluctance.
He laughed immediately.
"It's okay."
"When I die, these will all be yours."
"And what I want to tell you is naturally not just these - I just found that you are curious about my 'path', so I think I should tell you about the existence of the [Predator's Scale] item."
"And about them?"
"They are the remnants of the 'mythical age' and use some means to maintain their rule."
"The former Modeus was one of them."
"But they were careless."
"Let Modeus discover the clues and cause resistance."
"So much so that the whole world was almost destroyed."
"They also paid a heavy price."
Skiffinstein Steinbeck whispered, put the [Predator's Scale] on his wrist, and used his sleeves as a cover - a very casual look, and this look made Goethe think of every
When he met the other party once, the other party brought [Predator's Scale], but he ignored this item every time.
Some kind of ability?
Or a prop?
"It's ability."
"It comes from [Predator's Scale] - its usefulness is far beyond Goethe's imagination. The feeling of getting something for nothing is so great that I am willing to give up my life."
"After all, people have their limits."
"My lifespan is coming to an end."
"You don't have to doubt this."
"Although [Predator's Scale] has limitations, I also have a rough estimate."
Skeffins Steinbeck shrugged his shoulders as he said these words.
"So, this is why you are nice to me?"
"You want me to continue the 'Steinbeck family'!"
Goethe asked.
"certainly!"
"If I had met you ten years ago, I would have definitely killed you - because, in my opinion, your naughtiness means that you are ignorant and unskilled, and you are not qualified to inherit the family."
"Actually, that's what I did too."
"When I was in Luster, I saw how miserable you were, so under normal circumstances, you would die."
"But you lived."
"Besides, your performance makes me satisfied."
"Therefore, I think you can inherit the 'Steinbeck family' after my death."
Skeffins Steinbeck didn't hide anything.
He took a sip of hot milk and continued.
"I originally prepared some backup plans to allow the 'Steinbeck Family' to continue better, but these backup plans have some drawbacks and are far inferior to yours."
"It was around the second time we met that I had this idea."
"Unfortunately, it happened too quickly."
"You have inherited Modeus' 'legacy'... Don't deny it. The change in your strength has already explained everything. Moreover, I am happy to see you getting stronger and stronger."
"The stronger you are, the safer you are."
"After all, your blood has already determined that you will be watched."
Stare!
When Steinbeck said this word, Goethe knew that the other person knew more than he thought.
As for whether the other party is telling the truth?
Goethe could not prove it.
Maybe most of them are true and only a few are false.
For example: Life is short.
The most troublesome lies are nine lies and one truth.
Because it's ridiculous and helpless.
The most terrifying lie is nine truths and one lie.
Because, it's really the same as the real thing.
And when you have an item like [Predator's Scale], how do you make up a lie?
Naturally, he was about to die soon.
I have used [Predator's Scale] many times, and I am already on my deathbed, which is reasonable.
However, Goethe has the talent of [immortal seed].
Although the 'Mad King' made it by chance, who can guarantee that the 'Steinbeck Family' didn't do it?
If there were, the lifespan crisis caused by [Predator's Scale] would not exist.
Therefore, even if Goethe really saw the various introductions to [The Scales of the Predator], he would not let anyone preconceptions about it.
What's more, even if there isn't.
Skeffins. Steinbeck can also dig holes.
The simplest thing is to use it only occasionally, or even just once when dealing with the 'bartender' agent, to gain his trust.
This approach is even more effective and simple.
And what did Skeffins Steinbeck want to do?
Goethe didn't know.
Therefore, he wisely chose to remain silent and just listened quietly.
When they first met, Skiffins Steinbeck made a profound impression on him.
Even now, the memory is still fresh.
So much so that Goethe simply couldn't trust the other party.
Skeffins Steinbeck looked indifferent.
He still looks like a good brother now.
"They won the battle with Modeus."
"But it was a miserable victory."
"Even letting third-party fishermen benefit - well, it's 'them' as you think, but it's not the 'them' of this generation, but the first generation."
"Those guys, when they won, already called themselves 'gods'."
"pity……"
"'They' underestimated Modeus' madness."
"Seventeen guys who claimed to be 'gods' eventually became sacrifices to the 'mad king'."
"Only three agents were left, 'Angler', 'Lord', and 'Lady', who inherited a little inheritance."
"And at that time, the 'Black Iron Age' ended."
Skeffins Steinbeck tells secrets that ordinary people don't know.
But Goethe's brows furrowed.
He always felt a little weird.
It's not Skeffins Steinbeck's lie.
It’s not about ‘angler’, ‘lord’, ‘lady’.
It's just that the name "era" always makes him feel so long ago.
Skiffins. Steinbeck took out a piece of nougat. Immediately, Goethe's eyes were cast over. The heir of the Steinbeck family pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and took the piece of nougat with heartache.
Gave it to Goethe.
I took out another one myself.
When he was about to put it in his mouth, Skiffins Steinbeck only bit half of it.
Eat the remaining half when you're done.
It will be very busy recently.
No time to make candy.
Skeffins Steinbeck sighed.
"What do you think the world is like?"
"Do you think the world you see is real?"
"Do you think what you know is true?"
Skeffins Steinbeck suddenly spoke.
Different from the gentle and elegant one just now.
There was a hint of madness in Skeffens Steinbeck's eyes as he chewed nougat, and his voice began to rise: "The world we live in is just a 'reconstruction' after being shattered."
"A projection was pulled from the long river of time, mixed with the 'sand at the bottom of the river' and fixed here, and our current 'world' appeared."

"Otherwise, why do you think they would lose miserably?"
"Otherwise, why do you think the 'Mad King' is called the 'Mad King'?"
"Otherwise, why do you think the first generation of 'them' dared to call themselves 'gods'?"
Skiffins Steinbeck's voice was hysterical at this moment, gradually becoming low and mumbling to himself.
"have no idea!"
"You know nothing!"
"People who know, pretend to be deaf and dumb - but why can't I? I also want to pretend to be deaf and dumb? Why can't I?"
"Damn it!"
"Why should I bear this?"
Skeffins Steinbeck murmured.
Goethe looked at the other party with a strange look.
Mental illness?
A bit like that.
But not complete!
Goethe couldn't say exactly where it was incomplete, but Goethe's vigilance against Skiffins Steinbeck was once again raised to a new level.
Mental illness is scary.
What's even more frightening is that this psychopath still has power.
"My dear brother, you will never understand the panic I felt the moment I saw the 'truth'."
"My brain tells me this isn't true."
"My heart tells me that this is true."
"hehe."
"So, I'm going to struggle."
Saying these words, Skeffins Steinbeck stood up, pointed to the bedroom in the house, and said: "Okay, this is the end of our late-night conversation."
"I need to do something."
"Be back around seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"I just made George's performance more perfect - when he was alive, he was always self-righteous, but still a little clever, but after using the 'Mystery of Flesh and Blood', he became a little less clever."
"Without my help, he would probably die."
After saying that, Skeffins Steinbeck left the house.
Goethe, who stayed in the house, put more firewood in the fireplace.
The flame burned instantly.
He stared at the dancing flames and fell into thought.
Is the world all fake?
hiss.
Goethe narrowed his eyes and his eyes flickered.
He wasn't scared.
But I have more ideas.
if!
If all this is as Skiffins Steinbeck said, then the situation is worse than he imagined!
He must make more preparations.
At the same time, a slightly crazy idea emerged.
Goethe became physically excited.
Excited because of the madness.
The next moment, he gritted his teeth to suppress this excitement, hid this crazy idea, and used the [Beast of Desire] to calm himself down.
"call!"
"Although I know they care about the world, if I use the method of destroying the world to weaken them... it's impossible!"
Goethe sighed.
He leaned in front of the fireplace chair, and the calmer he became, the more feasible he felt that this method was possible.
In order to 'save' the world, the witches did not hesitate to use the projection and silt of the 'river of time'.
Then, if something similar happens, the witches will 'save' it again.
This will effectively weaken the power of the witches.
