Calamity Crown

Chapter 86 Mr. Marple, what do you think?

The carriage rolled over the stone pavement, the crimson under the wheel had faded, but the crimson on the edge of the wheel became brighter. The soldiers guarding the castle gate watched the car slowly approaching vigilantly and timidly. the black carriage.

Quack, quack.

Every time the crow chirped, the soldiers’ hearts couldn’t help but skip a beat.

No blocking.

Especially when Rick showed the invitation letter from Archduke Graz, all the soldiers were relaxed and put down the drawbridge swiftly, allowing the carriage to pass.

“This is the guard in the core of Hessings?”

“I heard more than once when I was a kid that the guards in the core can be killed with just a sliding shovel. Dead tiger.”

Andinan was a little weird.

As a native of Hessings, Andinan has heard rumors about the core area since he was a child.

Such as the wealth of the Lane royal family, the kindness of the king, the strict guards, etc., are all familiar.

Especially the rumor that the guards guarding are the elite of the elite.

Youngster is convinced.

Available now?

Great disappointment.

“Perhaps the original Lane royal family had such guards, but with the ebbing of time, as the original founding guards aged, their descendants who had inherited titles of nobility, and a few others who could To the honor of the patriarch?”

“Anyone loves to do nothing.”

“So do you and I.”

Goethe doesn’t Accident.

In his hometown, there are many tigers, fathers and dogs.

He’s already seen it.

“I may be, but you are different, Lord Marple. You are the most diligent person I have ever met.”

Andinan said with admiration in his eyes.

youngster is not a compliment, but speak frankly.

While living at 11 Kimmel Street, youngster really knew Goethe’s routine well, except for the necessary sleep time, doing things all the time.

Either reading, or writing, or practicing with a gun.

Playtime?

Not at all.

He had never seen this Lord Marple entertained.

If it wasn’t for the rumors of the ‘Summer Club’, Andinan would only think that Lord Marple was a cultivator of painstaking cultivation.

Could it be that…

Your Majesty Marple is seriously injured?

Subconsciously, youngster thought of something.

Goethe glanced at Andinan and immediately guessed that the youngster was thinking wrong.

However, he did not explain.

This kind of thing, the more the explanation, the less clear it is.

It’s like he won’t tell Andinan that he is being threatened with death in the ‘Anchor World’, if he doesn’t rapidly improve his strength in the ‘Secret Realm’ in front of him…

That is really the dead end.

Goethe glanced at the main quest.

[Fortune: 100/100]

[Fame: 62/100]

 …

After Andinan kept his promise, The [Fortune] column has already been completed, while the [Fame] column has been stagnant for a few days, and started to skyrocket three days ago.

Even now, every few hours, it goes up by 1 point.

However, it has become slow.

It is clear that the knock-on effects triggered by Derwent’s death are fading.

But the scene just now stimulated some people again.

On the section of the road from the castle area to the core area, the reputation has risen by 2 points.

And when the carry stopped, it went up another 2 points.

“Sir, the Grand Duke’s mansion is here.”

Rick’s voice came.

Even as calm as possible, Goethe could still hear the vibrato.

The previous scene not only frightened the soldiers, but even their coachman.

The fact that Rick is still able to drive the carriage is enough to surprise Goethe.

However, looking at the pale face, Goethe knew that his coachman was reaching his limit.

“Rick, you can take a day off.”

Goethe said.

“No sir.”

“Don’t worry, I can persevere.”

The coachman shook the head.

Even if he can’t wait to leave now, but reason tells him that if he doesn’t want to lose a big client like Mr. Marple, if he doesn’t want to lose his reputation as the best driver of the ‘Symoke Carriage Line’, then To persevere.

As long as it’s not death, you have to persevere!

Or…

Even in death, you have to persevere!

Because he didn’t live for himself for a long time.

Parents, wife, three children, all need his salary to support.

Faced with the coachman’s insistence, Goethe did not persuade him any further.

Everyone has their own last resort.

He turned around and looked towards the Steward, the Grand Duke’s mansion, which he walked quickly.

Grey hair, tuxedo, white gloves, black shoes.

Even with a brisk walk, the distance of each step is the same, with a smile on the face.

“Good afternoon, Lord Marple.”

“Good afternoon, Young Master Andinan.”

The old steward greeted politely.

“Good afternoon.”

Andinan responded, then curiously looked towards the Grand Duke’s mansion.

It is said to be a mansion, but in fact it is a corner of the castle.

It is far from the imagined atmosphere, gorgeous and comfortable.

Instead, it was lifeless.

It’s still a bit cold and damp.

youngster is a little disappointed.

But more disappointing is the words after the old steward.

“Young Master Andinan, please wait a moment, His Highness is only seeing His Excellency Marple now, I hope you don’t complain about His Highness – he doesn’t have much time every day.”

youngster’s eyes dimmed. .

But immediately said with a smile.

“Of course.”

Andinan understood.

Grand Duke Graz, full name Graz .Lane, is the younger brother of the current King Lane IX, but unlike his elder brother who was frail and sickly since childhood, Grand Duke Graz was known for his bravery when he was young.

There has also been a story of killing a wolf with a dagger.

Although it was a wounded lone wolf, it was enough to be admired.

With age, the wisdom of Archduke Graz began to show.

The increasingly sick Lane IX is reassuring to delegate power.

Everyone knows that after the death of the sonless Lane IX, the Grand Duke of Graz will succeed the king and become Lane X.

Even now, before becoming Lane X in the true sense, Archduke Graz is fulfilling some of his duties as a king.

So, when Goethe saw the Archduke, the Archduke was still working.

During the daytime, in the castle room that also needs candlelight, Archduke Graz is wearing glasses to review documents. After seeing his steward walk in with Goethe, he immediately gestures apologetically, Signal to wait.

About five minutes later, the Archduke stood up from behind his desk.

“Sorry, Lord Marple, for keeping you waiting.”

Archduke Graz came over and held out his palm to Goethe.

Goethe raised his hand and shook it, feeling the calluses on his palm.

That’s the result of long-term practice of sword technique and spearmanship, plus the other party’s burly figure, there is no doubt that the rumors in the early years still have one or two points of credibility.

The Grand Duke’s face was tough and his features were deep, but his gray hair was casually brushed behind his head, which immediately added a bit of unruly to his majesty.

When people see it, they will feel good.

What makes people more favorable is the simple behavior of the other party.

“Your Majesty Marple, Big Graz and Little Graz are giving you trouble.”

“They’re always giving me trouble.”

“This is me My apologies, please accept it.”

After speaking, the Grand Duke turned around, took out a boxy box from the drawer of the desk, and handed it to Goethe.

“‘Dragon Breath Technique’!”

“One of the legacy of the ‘Robert Family’.”

“It was acquired by the Lane Royal Family by accident, I I think it should be returned to the original owner.”

The Archduke said with a smile.

Goethe looked at Archduke Graz in amazement.

“Don’t worry, I really have no ill intentions.”

“There are no traps here either.”

“I just hope Hessetin now Si is safe and sound, but he won’t provoke an existence like you for no reason.”

While speaking, the archduke opened the box and revealed the notes inside.

I even read the notes for Goethe’s peace of mind.

And when Goethe took over the notes——

[Found Secret Technique ‘Burning Hand’, under judgment…]

[Have a ‘heart’ attribute , the judgment passed! ]

[Master the ‘Graphical Language (basic)’ and pass the judgment! ]

[The judgment is passed, you can use ‘Bloody Honor’ to study! ]

…

“[Burning Hand]?”

Goethe frowned secretly at the message.

It wasn’t that Archduke Graz was bluffing, but what he found, it seemed, was a question of salutation.

It appeared on the previous [Despaire Gaze]. The transcender of ‘Secret Realm’ called [Despaire Gaze] as ‘Dragon’s Might’, but the text he could see was [ Despaire Gaze].

The current [Burning Hand] is the same.

Looking at the words that appeared in front of him, Goethe had an urge from the bottom of his heart – he really wanted to click to learn, and then, to Grand Duke Graz, he had already learned the so-called ‘Dragon Breath Technique’ ‘, whether it can be exchanged for a gift.

In the end, Goethe didn’t.

He couldn’t go against his bottom line.

Some things can be done.

There are some things that must never be done.

This is what the good man told him when he was in his hometown.

Although Goethe was dismissive at the time, he persisted in the following days.

As for why?

Goethe doesn’t know either.

Maybe…

This makes him look like a ‘human’?

And that impulsive idea?

Naturally it is inevitable.

He’s just a bottom line person, not Saint.

He doesn’t know where it came from, but the one who thinks it is Master Lu once said: ‘The argument doesn’t matter the heart, the heart is not perfect’

He only needs to be a person .

Saint?

Impossible.

Seeing that Goethe accepted the owe, the Archduke of Graz relaxed.

As he said, he just wanted Hessings to be safe now.

The heir to the ‘Robert Family’ who owns ‘Dragon’s Might’ would be too terrifying once the destruction was carried out in the city.

He didn’t want to have such a troublesome existence when dealing with those people.

Moreover, what he hopes is to be able to pull the opponent to his own camp!

Do it if you think of it, and Archduke Graz, who maintains an upright personality, immediately asked.

“Your Excellency Marple, what do you think about what happened in Hastings?”

What do I think?

I’m standing and watching!

Goethe couldn’t help but murmur.

He had no idea what had happened to Hessings, but that didn’t stop Goethe brows slightly wrinkle, with a complicated look on his face.

Seeing Goethe’s appearance, the archduke sighed immediately.

“Sure enough, no one with ‘power’ can ignore the name of ‘Modeus’!”
