Calamity Crown

"Halest was just a small fishing village in the earliest days, but as the ancestors of Duke Scrooge made their fortune in 'Bear Castle' and opened up the transportation channels for the entire Sword Coast, it gradually became the center of the northern border. The largest city, but because of the war with Faber, Hallest was originally built as a military fortress."

Sheila looked at the big city in the distance, and couldn't help feeling yearning.

The majestic picture slowly unfolded in her mind. She seemed to have seen the golden and iron horse of Grand Duke Scrooge Clarke's ancestors, and also saw the miracle from scratch. Everything made her so excited. Intoxicated.

Her [heart] moved slightly.

Immediately, a smile appeared on Sheila's face.

Goethe keenly noticed the changes in Sheila.

"Is this some kind of ability?"

Goethe guessed.

Sheila didn't hide it.

"It is the peculiarity of my christening."

Shira said directly.

Then, she stared at Goethe, hoping that she would be moved when she saw Goethe.

Better to be moved enough to reveal to her more of the secrets of the 'Legacy of the Mad King'.

It's a pity that Goethe just nodded and moved on.

"Stone-hearted bastard!"

"Are you not moved at all?"

"I'm starting to reveal my secrets!"

Sheila was furious, but immediately the lady with multiple identities thought of another point.

"Could it be that Goethe already knew?"

"Is he testing me?"

"Otherwise why come to Harlest just at this sunrise?"

"The teacher said that although my baptism ceremony is special, most people don't know about it, so it needs to be kept extremely secret, but as the guardian of the 'Mad King's Legacy'..."

"Maybe Goethe has already seen the clue, so he will test me?!"

Thinking of this, Shira was startled.

Immediately, looking at Goethe's gaze changed.

Goethe noticed Sheila's wise eyes, but completely ignored them.

He just wanted to enter Hallest as soon as possible, and then contact the people from the 'Keeper of Secrets' branch in the north.

Not only safety, but also information!

He needs to know more about the North.

Only in this way can he determine who his enemy is.

And Swart also wanted to enter Hallest.

However, unlike Goethe, this sheriff just wanted to take a hot bath and get a good night’s sleep—an afternoon + one night long trek, even for a long time, with Goethe walking, but for For ordinary people, Swart has also reached the limit.

The reason why he can still move now is entirely relying on willpower.

Goethe, who showed the "Certificate of the Trainee Secret Keeper", entered the Hallest Police Station unimpeded all the way, and met the Sheriff 'Gabriel' who was in charge of connecting with the extraordinary.

This is a young police chief, in his early 20s, dressed in a clean and tidy police uniform. When he saw Goethe and his party, he had a warm smile.

"Your Excellency Credor has notified me in advance."

"Your Excellency Goethe Wayne, please follow me."

"I've already arranged a hotel for you."

As he spoke, the young sheriff led Goethe and his party out of the police station, and pointed to a hotel not far from the police station: 'An Lun's Hookah'.

"'An Lun's Hookah' is a good hotel, the owner is very nice, the room is quiet, and the bed is comfortable enough."

"The most important thing is that the three meals provided by his family are worth tasting."

The young sheriff introduced.

"Where is Lord Credor?"

Goethe, who was following behind the other party, asked.

"Recently something happened in the town near Hallest - the 'Wendigo' ogre, which should only appear occasionally in winter, did not know why it appeared in summer!"

"Lord Credor and other lords are hunting these man-eating monsters now, and investigating why such a thing happened."

"So, in the last week or two, I can only receive you."

The young sheriff explained.

When talking about 'Wendigo', the three of Goethe looked at each other.

"Then Hallest isn't defenseless now?"

Swart asked in surprise.

After experiencing Lust's difficulties, the sheriff's awareness of 'extraordinary' has been raised to a very cautious level.

"how is this possible?"

"Halest has Grand Duke Scrooge."

"The Grand Duke's guard is sufficient for everything, and..."

Speaking of this, the young sheriff lowered his voice.

"On weekdays, the Grand Duke's Guard is basically responsible for the 'extraordinary incident' in Hallest—Honor Credor and other nobles will only take action when the Grand Duke's Guard is unable to withdraw."

"That's why the Grand Duke and Your Excellency Credor are at odds."

"It is rumored that when the two were young, they were good friends who talked about everything. When the Grand Duke Scrooge was still the head of the 'Keeper Branch' in the North, His Excellency Credor was still the Grand Duke's deputy. "

"Unfortunately, alas."

The young sheriff sighed.

"It's a pity. Hallest should be safe, right?"

Swart sighed along with him.

And, inquire about the news without any trace.

Goethe frowned.

Before he came here, he had heard about the quarrel between Grand Duke Scrooge and Credor - Morey introduced the situation in the northern border to him in as much detail as possible, but Morey didn't mention the Grand Duke's Guard.

Obviously, this is not Morey's concealment.

Rather, Morey didn't know there was such a thing as the Grand Duke's Guard.

"Scrooge K.'s control over Hallest is stronger than imagined!"

Goethe thought.

This kind of control is not a good thing for him.

He needs to investigate who is targeting him.

And the people who targeted him were most likely the people around the Grand Duke.

He can't say, sorry, I want to investigate your son and daughter, right?

Moreover, Credor's departure also made Goethe suspicious.

"Will someone arrange it on purpose?"

"Leave me alone and helpless!"

Goethe walked into 'An Lun's Hookah' with speculation.

The first floor is not like a traditional hotel, but has several dining tables, and the smell of breakfast wafting from the kitchen proves that what the young sheriff said is true.

The three meals here are worth tasting.

At least breakfast is okay!

Immediately, Goethe proposed to go to the room after breakfast.

Swarte and Sheila did not object.

The young sheriff went to the bar immediately.

"There's something about this guy that doesn't look like a sheriff."

After Swart sat down, he said immediately after confirming that no one would hear him.

"Is he impersonating?"

Sheila immediately had a cold look in her eyes.

Goethe and Swart rolled their eyes together.

"We saw him in the police station. Isn't everyone in the police station blind?"

"Or do you think the whole police station is cooperating with him in acting?"

"If this can be done, there is no need for such a troublesome impersonation. He has more means to deceive us."

Swart explained helplessly.

"Perhaps he has some peculiar hobby?"

Sheila said so.

"Please, not everyone is perverted!"

"I said he doesn't look like a sheriff because he is too young, and the way he does things doesn't look like a sheriff—in Lust Police Station, such a guy will be eaten to the bone. "

Swarte didn't give Sheila another chance to talk about her feelings.

Immediately, Shira cast a disdainful look.

Undoubtedly, this lady also knew something about the Luster Police Station.

"Maybe Hallest is much better than Lust!"

"After all, this is the largest city in the north!"

"After all, Grand Duke Scrooge is here!"

Sheila emphasized.

Swart didn't speak anymore, he didn't want to talk to a fool—the moment he stepped into the police station, the familiarity had already told Swart that the police station here was no different from the police station in Luster.

Maybe it will be better.

But the good is limited.

Swart glanced at Goethe.

Seeing Goethe's knowing look, the sheriff immediately set his sights on the food.

Mushroom soup, muffins, fried ham and salad.

The salad is a chicken salad with a little lemon, which is very appetizing.

Fried ham is simply fried, which is completely the original taste of ham. Although it is a bit salty, the sweetness of the muffins and the deliciousness of the mushroom soup completely neutralize the salty taste.

Especially the mushroom soup, Goethe tasted a faint taste of meat.

Obviously, the stick bone with meat is used as the soup base.

"not bad."

Goethe commented.

Swart gobbled it up. He was starving.

After Xila ate a little bit, her eyes were attracted by a motorcade outside the hotel.

Beside the carriage pulled by four pure black war horses, an old butler in a tuxedo stood there quietly. The team of 20 people around the carriage stood upright.

"Which nobleman is this?"
