Calamity Crown

He quietly listened to Skiffins. Steinbeck told the secret about 'them'.

"'Lord', the original servant of Modeus, should be the third? Or the fourth servant."

"On the eve of the first decisive battle, I stole Modeus' research materials on the 'New Road', and put the blame on that poor first male servant."

"Then at the end of the second decisive battle, they snatched the power seed left by Modeus to the first servant."

"Otherwise it's up to him?"

Skiffins Steinbeck became even more mocking.

"First manservant?"

Goethe took a little interest in the first manservant.

On the eve of the first decisive battle, the 'Mad King' was a little paranoid.

And after the failure of the first decisive battle, the 'Mad King' was basically in a half-mad state.

But under such circumstances, the Mad King is still willing to believe in a servant who 'betrayed' him, then... this servant must be extraordinary and special.

Skiffens Steinbeck's taunt is gone.

Only self-deprecating was left.

His voice deepened.

"Yes, first manservant."

"Grant Steinbeck."

"Grant Steinbeck, 'Coward'?"

Goethe was taken aback.

He clearly remembered the 'coward' Grant Steinbeck, who was scared to death by a clown six years ago in 660, and there is an accurate record in [The Predator's Libra].

Afterwards, Goethe frowned.

He remembered that Skiffins Steinbeck had told him about the 'reality' of the world before him.

Construction of projection and sand.

He should bear in mind such an important matter.

why?

If you are not reminded, you will be forgotten.

"Are you aware?"

Skiffins Steinbeck laughed. The heir of the Steinbeck family looked at his younger brother with a rare warmth on his face, and his tone became softer: "This is the horror of this world. I have told others what I saw more than once, but every time it will be forgotten, and even when I remind it again, I will show the expression I heard for the first time."

"In this world, only I see the truth."

"and……"

"Before I got the [Predator's Scale], it was still eroding me-Goethe, have you ever thought that I used to have six eyes?"

Skiffins Steinbeck lightly tapped his left and right forehead and left and right cheeks, indicating where the other two pairs of eyes used to grow.

"Is it ugly?"

"Not ugly."

"It's just a little painful - because there are many mouths full of sharp teeth on my internal organs, and they keep devouring my flesh and blood."

"call."

"It was a really hard time."

Skiffins Steinbeck sighed.

The tone was very similar to a high school student on summer vacation who received an invitation from his first love goddess to go swimming, but suddenly found that there were 99 other boys who were more handsome and stronger than him.

Feeling is an understatement.

In fact, he vomited blood.

"Would that change happen to me?"

Goethe recalled 'the world is real' and asked after confirming that he had memorized it.

"will not."

"Its eyes are still looking at me."

"You are by my side, you will only be blocked by me."

"After all, I'm an elder brother. When you hide under my wings, you should naturally."

As he spoke, Skiffins Steinbeck looked at Goethe and smiled.

Goethe felt sincerity in this smile.

no offence.

No ulterior motives either.

Just be sincere.

Skiffins Steinbeck tried his best to become an older brother in his own way—unfortunately, this way is fatal to most people.

Goethe couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Since Skiffins Steinbeck wants to be an older brother.

He gave the other party this chance.

Therefore, he wants to show his 'willfulness'.

"Someone said before, come back about seven."

"Now you are free at three o'clock."

"Ah."

"As a parent, I have the right to make a surprise inspection - my younger brother who has not really grown up, staying up until three o'clock will give me a headache."

Skiffins Steinbeck chuckled.

"Do you blame me?"

Goethe raised his chin, indicating the battle in the distance.

"No wonder!"

Skiffins Steinbeck said very affirmatively, the heir of the Steinbeck family, said as if teaching and talking to himself: "In this harsh environment, no one can sleep peacefully, Goethe, you are like this, wait This is especially the case with the long-awaited Fabol VII, our Majesty, he has waited too long."

"His greatest strength is forbearance."

"He can endure everything that ordinary people can't bear."

"Even if you get peed all over your face, you can keep smiling and taste it."

"However, he endured it for too long, and when he gained enough strength, he became abnormal."

"Why do you think he made the move now?"

Facing Skiffins Steinbeck's question, Goethe pondered for a moment.

"Wait for 'them' internal strife, choose the best time, and then, by the way, clean up Sac's people who he doesn't like but can't get rid of directly... Wait!"

"Waiting for Faber VII?"

"Do you cooperate with him?"

Goethe reacted as he spoke.

"Of course!"

"I have many collaborators!"

"Several of 'them', Fabol VII, the royal family of Ludez, the royal family of Yatuk, the royal family of Lidar, and... the sea!"

Skiffins Steinbeck said with a smile.

Then, the heir to the Steinbeck family once again vomited bitterness to Goethe.

"Goethe, do you know?"

"How much energy does it take to bring these idiots together?"

"Especially some idiots are extremely greedy."

"Compared to these stupid guys, Beidi surprised me the most—that Grand Duke Scrooge is really admirable, and his tenacity is really terrifying."

"I didn't directly mention the 'truth of the world', he just relied on some clues left by me to know the 'truth of the world'."

"Then?"

When Skiffins Steinbeck saw the concern on Goethe's face, he couldn't help but lengthen his tone.

"Then what?"

Goethe asked urgently.

"Of course it's fine."

"I said 'the truth of the world' has been watching me."

"And Archduke Scrooge's willpower is strong enough."

"Hey, is it true that the Northland is more important to you?"

Skiffins Steinbeck expressed his dissatisfaction.

The heir to the Steinbeck family thought he was closer to the Goethe blood.

Goethe sensed this dissatisfaction.

However, he did not hide it.

Not to mention any excuses.

"Ah."

"They treated me like family."

"The Northland is my second home."

Goethe said truthfully.

"Family?"

"family?"

Skiffins Steinbeck was talking to himself, and then laughed again.

He has family.

There is also a home.

It didn't exist before, but now it does.

Goethe was his family.

Home is where Goethe is.

Thinking of this, the heir of the Steinbeck family didn't stay any longer, he said: "Once an individual becomes a member of a group, he will no longer take responsibility for his actions. At this time, everyone will reveal that they are not restrained. On the other hand, what the group pursues and believes is never the truth and rationality, but blind obedience, cruelty, paranoia and fanaticism. They only know how to use simple and extreme emotions to satisfy themselves——When Sak’s ordinary people are bewitched by “Ms.” Such.

This is the guy in 'them' who I bewitched.

So, Goethe, you have to remember——

Family or something doesn't matter.

Solitude makes you calmer.

Right, one more thing.

It's time for us to part.

You stay here.

don't follow.

If you dare to follow...
