Calamity Crown

Page 452

Just like the entire empire, after experiencing the 'Burke Expedition', the contradictions concealed by the prosperity gradually became prominent. If there was no 'academy' to divert attention, a bigger dispute would have erupted long ago.

Or……

"In order to divert the contradiction, the emperor of the empire consciously guided all this?"

Goethe guessed in his heart, but continued to stare at the conversation between the two.

"I didn't expect him to succeed either."

"Believe me, when I saw him for the first time, I was far more surprised than you could imagine—because I thought I was intimate with him and knew all his secrets."

"But when he reappeared in front of me, I realized..."

"Everything is what I think it is."

The old lady picked up the black tea and smiled wryly.

After taking a sip, the old woman continued.

"He has concealed enough things, but what he revealed is true. Under the witness of the 'contract', there is no doubt about this."

The old woman told the conductor Edward what cared most about him.

After hearing the old woman's words, the conductor Edward nodded slightly.

The train conductor was thinking in his heart, but he didn't stop talking.

"What about the Philosopher's Stone?"

"It should be somewhere."

The old woman replied.

Some are perfunctory, and more are temptations.

She said.

"This needs to be found by the people under His Majesty's command, but it is not what we can find. Moreover, compared to the 'Philosopher's Stone', I pay more attention to the 'principal' related things."

"In the beginning, he chose to use things related to the 'principal' as a bargaining chip, and now he even doesn't let off the descendants of the 'principal'."

"Maybe it's because he has a bigger covetous heart for the 'college'?"

"After all, he is the one who is closest to success, just like our Queen, who has been having some fantastic ideas recently and needs to be appreciated and careful."

As the train conductor Edward said, he picked up a piece of snack and put it in his mouth.

And the old woman who got the news she wanted didn't refuse these snacks.

You know, the level of chefs in the royal family is much higher than that of 'college' chefs.

Afterwards, the two chatted, while Goethe, who was 'on the sidelines', confirmed some things.

Van der Sar, the self-proclaimed 'vice principal', and Edward, the train conductor, should have an extremely delicate cooperative relationship. The two sides have a slight confrontation, but they will exchange information and abide by the final bottom line.

Apparently, the train conductor Edward was finally the emperor.

And Van der Sar?

Most likely it's the Queen... No, it's that Earl Tim.

"Because of the existence of the 'Academy', the world was divided into two, and this delicate situation was formed."

"Van der Sar, who is stationed at the 'College', needs an outside news and resource channel, and this channel is firmly grasped by the emperor, and the only last resort is cooperation."

"It's not just news and resource channels, there should be bigger handles..."

"Family? Bloodline?"

"Or is it a contract?"

Sitting on the sofa, Goethe guessed and thought.

Van der Sar was not as harmless as he appeared.

The opponent's ruthlessness has already broken through the lower limit of human beings to a certain extent.

Therefore, if you want to restrain such a person, can you use only one method.

Contract should be the most suitable.

And that conductor Edward?

Nature is the same.

With such an important position, if His Majesty the emperor is not bound by a contract, he might not be able to sleep at night, right?

"Master, your canned pear water."

While Goethe was thinking, Jerry came back with a can of pear water with ice.

The canned pear water had already been poured by Jerry into a white porcelain basin, which was covered with square ice, and two red bayberries were added as decorations.

The unique sweetness of pears becomes unusually sweet under the stimulation of ice water, and the pear flesh, which was originally slightly hot, is even more crisp and delicious.

Especially when chewed with ice cubes.

Crunch, crunch.

Goethe chewed it in big mouthfuls, and finally picked up the red bayberry as a decoration.

Slightly sour.

The original sweetness has long been diluted by pear water, but the original sourness is highlighted.

However, Goethe did not dislike the sour taste

After experiencing strong sweetness, there is always a need for a different taste.

With the bayberry in his mouth, Goethe looked in the direction of the hotel gate.

A hole appeared in the original wall without a sound, and the door opened directly, which startled Abby who was about to knock on the door.

"Yes, sorry."

"I'm here to deliver canned food."

The young flight attendant stammered.

As he spoke, he lowered his head and resisted his curiosity not to look at everything in the 'Paradise Hotel', but curiosity is like the beef in beef noodles that people care about.

The young flight attendant unconsciously raised his head, wanting to take a sneak peek.

He knows it's impolite.

But just couldn't help it.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw Goethe.

Goethe appeared in front of him at some point, standing there with his shoulders folded, looking at him with a half-smile.

The eyes of the two sides intertwined, and the young steward took two steps back in fright.

The clumsy opponent slipped and was about to fall out of the confines of the porch.

However, the next moment, a chair appeared on him.

The six cans in his hand were firmly caught by Goethe.

"sorry!"

"I did not mean it!"

The young flight attendant instantly stood up and apologized.

Goethe ignored the other party, but looked at the can in his hand.

Three peach flavors, three canned pear water.

"I didn't order the cans."

Goethe expressed his doubts.

"This is me, I..."

The young flight attendant stuttered again, he wanted to express his apology, and if possible, he wanted to compensate Goethe more, but Goethe seemed to only care about the cans, and he could only take out the cans.

He knew the cans weren't enough, but that was all he had now.

The young flight attendant wanted to explain clearly.

However, he didn't know what to say.

Because, in the heart of this young flight attendant, the canned food is too ridiculous.

Canned food cannot be exchanged for airplanes and cannons.

How could this kind of thing be compared with life?

Watch Goethe, the young flight attendant, bow ninety degrees.

“I will come again!”

After speaking, the young flight attendant turned and ran away.

Goethe didn't chase, let alone stop, just looked at the can in his hand, turned around and returned to the 'Paradise Hotel'.

"Owner?"

Jerry looked at the six new cans in disbelief.

"After I took over the hotel, a gift from the first guest who came to the door."

Goethe said so.

The young flight attendant was certainly not the first person.

But coming with good intentions is really the first one.

Not before.

after?

It's even more impossible.

With the arrival of 'convoy'.

With his appearance this time, information about him will definitely spread to the outside world, and by that time, more people will definitely 'come to visit'.

But each will be more greedy and purposeful than the one before.

Of course, it is also more dangerous.

Never underestimate the stupidity and fluke of some people.

When the benefits are large enough, it is time for some people to risk their lives.

Even the flight attendant just now will be affected.

Maybe become a pawn to test him?

Maybe simply become a spy for information?

There are too many possibilities.

But there is a high probability that there will be no goodwill brought by such simple guilt.

"Jerry, put these six cans in the pantry."

"Well... put it on the top shelf."

"Don't touch them unless necessary."
