Modeus!
Mad King!
Goethe was shocked.
He speculated more than once about what had happened to Hessettins.
But never once did I think it would be related to the ‘Mad King’.
Because according to the notes and book records of "The Voice of the Raven", Goethe can deduce that the flow rate of time in the "Anchor World" and the "Secret Realm" are not the same. The former may only be in the past hundred years, but the latter?
It's impossible to count accurately at all.
It has even become a legend.
At least, in the 'secret realm' in front of us, according to the description of 'Voice of the Raven', Modeus is not only given prefixes such as 'great', but also has a record of becoming a 'god'.
If he hadn't known the Mad King's final outcome, he would probably have believed the precise description in the notes.
But he knows.
Others don't know.
Even the Archduke of Graz in front of him believed in the legend of the 'Mad King'.
"Your Majesty has left here, but the knowledge he left behind has made countless people crazy."
"It's hard for you to imagine that in the legendary 'Dark Ages', there were prototype drawings of steam engines and the beginning of electricity, not to mention small things like improvements in firearms - these technologies are not outdated today. I
I have absolutely no idea how that His Majesty did it. Maybe it’s because of this that His Majesty became a ‘god’.”
"In the colorful glory, sit upright in the clouds and enter your own kingdom!"
The Archduke of Graz murmured in a low voice.
There was undisguised yearning and curiosity on his face.
This description is consistent with the description of "Raven's Voice".
It also made Goethe suspect that these descriptions were artistically processed descriptions by the outstanding heir of the Robert family.
Under the circumstances at that time, in order to maintain the stability of Dawn, the other party would probably do something like this.
It's better to become a god than to travel far away and disappear, right?
Goethe’s notes on ‘The Raven’s Voice’ recalled.
The Grand Duke's words continued.
"This time, the laboratory of His Majesty 'Modeus' was accidentally discovered by my advisor. According to my advisor's preliminary investigation, there may be... a potion of immortality in it!"
Potion of immortality?!
Goethe could no longer hide the surprise on his face.
He looked at the Archduke of Graz.
The Grand Duke nodded seriously.
"When I first learned about it, I was just as unbelievable as Mr. Marple, but the potion of immortality really exists - although I can't tell you why, I can assure you!"
conspiracy!
This was the first thought that came to Goethe's mind after hearing the description of the Archduke of Graz.
Not directed at him.
But it is aimed at all the extraordinary beings who are attracted to Hesetins.
As for the Grand Duke in front of me?
It should be the 'bait' introduced into the game!
After all, being endorsed by a grand duke of the kingdom is obviously something that is extremely trustworthy.
Especially the Grand Duke also received certain benefits!
When Graz said that he could not tell, Goethe guessed that the Grand Duke in front of him must have obtained a lot of benefits from that laboratory, and it was precisely because of this benefit that the other party confirmed the existence of the 'potion of immortality'.
"I hope to cooperate with you. All the 'power' of the Ryan royal family has been gathered, including my advisors. They hope to open the door to the laboratory of 'Modeus' Crown in a short time."
"So, the entire Hesetins has become extremely unsafe. Except for some necessary positions, there are almost no powerful extraordinary people with 'power'."
"As long as you are willing to help me take action when necessary, I can promise you that you will have a share of the profits from the laboratory of 'Modeus'."
The Grand Duke looked at Goethe expectantly and made his promise.
Then……
Goethe nodded.
A transcendent person will not refuse when faced with the laboratory of 'Modeus'.
Not to mention that there are things like the 'potion of immortality' in it.
If he refuses at this time, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Do you really think that the Grand Duke in front of you is a fool?
How can a person who can take charge of a country be a fool?
Once he refuses, the Grand Duke will definitely become suspicious.
The Grand Duke's advisors will also be suspicious.
Even the extraordinary beings in the entire Ryan royal family will doubt it.
Therefore, the best choice is to agree first and then wait and see.
As for leaving?
Unless you can do it without being noticed, leaving hastily is a worse option than refusing.
Imagine that the laboratory of 'Modeus' is about to be opened, but someone who is supposed to stick to it suddenly leaves, what will happen?
Most people would think that those who left benefited!
Not to mention, there are black hands behind this adding fuel to the flames!
Goethe could fully imagine that as long as he left, the back-up man would directly spread the news that "Marple had obtained the potion of immortality" throughout Hesetins.
“That’s great!”
The Grand Duke of Graz said happily.
"I have one more request."
"I want to obtain the secret skills related to divination."
"If there is, I can appropriately reduce my share of the profits from the Modeus laboratory."
Since Goethe had made up his mind to stay in Hessettins and 'watch', Goethe naturally did not mind seeking benefits for himself.
"Secret techniques related to divination?"
"There is no relevant secret technique in the Ryan royal family."
"It was rumored that the Snake royal family had similar secret techniques, but... the Snake kingdom perished forty years ago."
"However, maybe other lords have similar 'power', I will help you inquire."
The Grand Duke promised.
"That would be perfect."
Goethe showed a just right smile.
The Kingdom of Snake was also a country established by one of the seven heroes who once overthrew the 'Dark Dynasty', but it had long been in decline. In the end, all the territory was annexed by the Lion family, and the country was declared subjugated forty years ago.
Not only the Snake Kingdom, but also the Chige Kingdom, which was once the most powerful, now has less than one-sixth of its land area at its peak. The remaining land has also been annexed by the Lane Royal Family, the Wolf Royal Family, and the Beta Royal Family.
The descendants of the heroes who fought side by side have already met each other.
call!
It seemed that a big thing had been accomplished, and the Grand Duke of Graz breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Can I ask something about Andinan?"
"I'm sorry, I still don't know how to face him, so I want to ask what kind of young man he is - although I have read a lot of information, but I hope to hear your opinion
describe."
A wry smile appeared on the Grand Duke's face.
"Smart, motivated, and grateful."
Goethe commented truthfully.
Suddenly, the Grand Duke's eyes lit up.
"Please be more detailed."
Faced with the Archduke's request, Goethe did not refuse.
For the next half hour, Goethe talked about Andinan.
"After listening to your description, I feel a little confident about meeting him."
"I hope he won't blame me and give me a chance to explain."
The Grand Duke sighed.
"Yes."
Goethe answered like this, and under the guidance of the butler, he left the study and bedroom of the Archduke of Graz.
That polite smile disappeared the moment the door closed behind her.
It is true that the Archduke of Graz, who is serious but not stubborn and sincere, can easily win people's favor, but this Archduke's purpose is too strong - or in other words, the sincerity of the other party is purposeful.
.
This gave Goethe a false feeling.
All in all, he is someone you can get along with, but you need to be careful.
Especially when the goals are inconsistent with the other party's, you must be careful!
After all, there should be more than one extraordinary person around the other party.
In the study just now, Goethe heard the heartbeat of another person besides the Grand Duke - how could he not prepare some tricks when meeting an extraordinary person?
As for the other party who made it clear that his consultant went to open the laboratory of ‘Modeus’?
This is of course a lie.
"The purpose is clear, and if you tell the truth and lies at the same time, your power will be huge."
"If it's an enemy..."
"Be sure to strike first!"
Goethe told himself this.
The Archduke of Graz, sitting in his study, also recalled his meeting with Goethe.
He had an intuition that this Marple was hiding something.
But, most of the time I am honest.
That's enough!
Who doesn’t have a secret yet?
As long as you use it well and don't hinder his plans, you are a friend.
Thinking of this, the Grand Duke of Graz stood up and walked to the mirror. He arranged his clothes and combed his hair again.
Gratz wanted to be more formal about meeting his illegitimate son.
But……
He doesn't have time.
Being able to see the other party at this time has already squeezed the time for him to deal with official documents.
But, soon!
As long as he finds the 'potion of immortality', everything will change!
"How about it?"
asked the Grand Duke of Graz.
"You are definitely a qualified father."
The extraordinary person inside the wall replied.
After hearing the consultant's answer, the Archduke of Graz pulled the bell toward the bell with satisfaction, signaled the old butler to bring Andinan in, and then sat back in the chair.
…
In the front hall of the castle, Goethe saw Andinan looking around calmly.
Different from the previous pretending to be calm.
At this time, the young man really calmed down.
Facing Goethe's gaze, the young man shrugged.
"When he chose to meet you first, I knew what kind of person he was. Naturally, I gave up some unrealistic illusions."
The smart young man sighed.
Then, he immediately shook his head.
"I'm going to see him, and then... let's go back to 11 Kimmel Street!"
"I hope Maria will follow your instructions and not make any weird food."
"Otherwise, poor Kai will probably resign."
The young man finished speaking with a smile and walked towards the old housekeeper who led the way.
Goethe stood there, waiting quietly.
He believed that this meeting would not last long and would not be too pleasant.
However, a smart young man like Andinan will definitely know what to do.
Goethe had considerable confidence in Andinan.
Then, about ten minutes passed.
Noisy shouts and rapid footsteps.
When Goethe turned his head, he saw Andinan running out in panic, holding a blood-stained dagger. Behind him, the old housekeeper and many soldiers were chasing him, shouting——
