Calamity Crown

Woo!

Amidst the whistle of the train, the train started slowly.

The train conductor inspected the carriages as usual, sweeping past the third-class carriages, smiling in the second-class carriages, taking it seriously in the first-class carriages, and becoming cautious when walking to the special-class carriages.

Different from the previous carriages, the guests here are all rich or expensive.

It's not something he, a little train conductor, can offend.

"Have all the drinks and snacks been delivered?"

The train conductor asked the full-time waiter in the special compartment.

"It's all delivered."

"The young gentleman said not to disturb him until summoned."

Standing in the corridor of the special compartment, the young waiter immediately replied.

"Everything must be obeyed by the customer."

Although regretful, the train conductor suppressed the idea of ​​visiting the young guest, and instead ordered the waiter—in order not to affect the distinguished guest, the train conductor not only lowered his voice, but also moved closer to the waiter , half bent over.

A silver cord slipped out of the trouser pocket as the conductor bent over.

The falling silver cable didn't fall, but rolled into the special compartment. When it came to a private room, it just turned around and turned into the compartment that hadn't been closed yet.

Goethe, who had just put his luggage away, looked down and saw the silver cord coming towards him.

Ever since [Steinbeck Breathing Method] reached the proficient level and had the effect of [Fortune], he has encountered similar things almost every day in the past few days.

Sometimes when I suddenly stumbled when I was walking, I looked down and found a silver rope.

Sometimes when you open a book, a bookmark with a copper corner appears in front of you.

At the beginning, Goethe was still very surprised, but when he found that the maximum "limit" for picking up money every day was one silver rope, and sometimes there was not even one silver rope, Goethe became indifferent.

It is obvious that the [Fortune] of [Steinbeck Breathing Method] is useful, but of limited use.

At least, at this stage.

Maybe wait until the level rises to pick up more money?

Goethe didn't know.

He only knows that money is hard-won.

so,

As soon as he bent down, he picked up the silver cord and put it in his wallet.

"Good luck."

Goethe said so, turned and closed the box door.

The special car in front of me is very spacious, not only has a bed, a separate bathroom, but also a sofa, a coffee table, a blue table runner spread out on the coffee table, and a plant with small yellow flowers in a white vase.

The tea ordered by Goethe, together with the kettle, was placed on the side near the sofa with the snack stand.

The snack stand is divided into three layers, the first layer is creme brulee, the second layer is tiramisu, and the third layer is donuts.

The dim sum was lukewarm and had clearly just come out of the oven.

Goethe picked up a piece of tiramisu and put it in his mouth.

The nuts are crispy, but the sweetness is too strong.

So much so that Goethe had to take a sip of the tea on the side.

Tea can be regarded as quite satisfactory.

I just don't know how the three meals are.

From the current point of view, it is still in line with the ticket price of 12 gold grams and 10 silver cables.

The starting point of this train is Luster, and it goes straight to Hallest, the largest city in the Northland. There are some stops in the middle, but not many, it can be regarded as a "semi-special train".

The whole process takes about 6 days.

Therefore, when he decided to go to the northern border to inherit the inheritance and learned that the 'Keeper of Secrets' could be reimbursed, Goethe chose the highest class car without hesitation.

Goethe sat on the sofa, looked at Luster who was fading away from the window, and his thoughts drifted back to two days ago——

‘Who is Grand Duke Scrooge? '

'Guardian of the North! The manager of the Northern Branch of the 'Keeper of Secrets'! He is also Tesin's... the richest man! '

'It is rumored that the Jinke owned by this grand duke can fill up the 'Simlei River' and make everyone in Hallest jump in and swim! '

When he asked who Scrooge was, Mrs. Burns answered for him.

And this made Goethe even more convinced that there was something tricky about it.

With the status of the other party, it is impossible to really cut off the connection because of the distance as stated in the letter.

But also true!

Example: Heard news from him!

As for what news?

Guardian of the 'Mad King's Legacy'!

Besides, Goethe couldn't think of anything else!

There is a high probability that the other party is here for the 'Mad King's Legacy'.

Thinking of this, Goethe naturally refused to go to the north.

but……

The "Keeper of Secrets" sent a secret order from the headquarters of "Bode", hoping that Goethe would go to the northern border to investigate the cause of the serious illness of "Scrooge. The official 'Keeper of the Secret' test.

The wording of the secret order may seem mild, but it cannot be refused.

Goethe immediately informed Alger Aldrich about the secret order.

The captain of the 17th team first confirmed that the secret order was true, and then confirmed that the letter from 'Grand Duke Scrooge' was also true, so he sneered a few times, handed him a silver dagger, and said: Returned 'Bode' without posting.

Alger Aldrich's attitude made Goethe have more guesses.

Especially when he saw the silver dagger clearly—

[Dawn Protection (Dagger): The dagger is specially crafted by the craftsmen inside the "Keeper of Secrets", which is infused with the power of Alger Aldrich's "Sword of Dawn\
