Chapter 124 Travel Far!

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"]

[Effect: Sword of Dawn]

[Sword of Dawn: After gaining momentum for 3 seconds, cut out a 100-meter-long lightsaber with an attack judged to be 'vicious'. 】

(Note 1: Aegis of Dawn is a one-time item and cannot be recharged.)

(Note 2: After Dawn Asylum is used, it will become a normal dagger.)

(Note 3: Dawn Asylum cannot be brought into the 'secret realm')

...

"A 100-meter lightsaber judged to be 'fierce'!"

Goethe immediately thought of the lightsaber that cut through the 'Church of Flesh' at that time.

He had seen that power with his own eyes!

Now, Alger Aldrich gave him such power, even if he only had the power of a single blow, it was enough for Goethe to imagine.

Moreover, Goethe directly affirmed one point: there seems to be disputes within the 'Keeper of Secrets'!

Although such disputes should have been quite far away from him, after all, he was just an 'apprentice secret keeper', but because of the 'mad king's legacy', he had already been involved.

Goethe knew very well that in the face of such disputes, he had to be more careful, because even if he was only slightly affected, he might face the danger of dying.

It's the same even with [Dawn Asylum].

Because, this hole card is likely to be known.

Since those people dared to do this, they must have expected Alger Aldrich to do so.

Even, because of this, a corresponding plan will be arranged, which can directly put Alger Aldrich into the most unfavorable situation after he uses [Dawn Asylum].

Therefore, when using [Dawn Protection], it must be at the right time.

The only good thing is that he still has the option of 'secret realm'.

[10 days 10:59]

[10 days 09:59].

...

Seeing the remaining cooldown time of the two 'secret realms' and the rightmost 'secret realm' that can be entered at any time, Goethe couldn't help touching the suitcase - there was a full 600 gold grams in it.

Part of it was his original savings.

The other part is the dividend of "business" with Swart.

When he learned that he was in urgent need of money, the sheriff used the fastest speed to collect the dividends that were supposed to arrive in a few months.

In addition, there are five 10-denomination gold notes, 6 silver cords, and 5:30 copper corners in Goethe's wallet.

Among them, 40 gold grams are 'apprentice keeper' + 'task subsidy', and because he has passed the probationary period and entered the regular inspection period, he received a weekly salary of 6 gold grams and a daily subsidy of 2.5 gold grams , there is also a monthly reimbursement quota of no more than 50 gold grams. Once this reimbursement quota is exceeded, it is not impossible to continue to reimburse, but you need to apply again.

Or simply take the extra amount of'task subsidy'.

To some extent, the welfare system of the "Keeper of Secrets" is quite good.

For example, the ticket at this moment is the extra amount of the 'task subsidy'.

As for the official amount of the 'task subsidy'?

It is calculated based on distance, difficulty, time, etc. and will be released in the last time.

But accidents happen all the time, so the extra amount of 'task subsidy' becomes 'reasonable'.

Therefore, even if 'Keeper of Secrets' is an extremely dangerous job, there are countless people who want to become 'Keeper of Secrets'.

However, this definitely does not include Swart.

The sheriff was given a "probationary" by Alger Aldrich because of his outstanding performance in the past and because he sent a telegram when the 'Church of Flesh' invaded Luster, so that the reinforcements could arrive ahead of schedule. The title of "Secret Keeper", while retaining the original treatment, enjoys all the treatment of "Apprentice Secret Keeper".

Swart accepted the title in tears.

Because, the sheriff whose memory has not been erased knows that when the 'Keeper of Secrets' cleaned the battlefield, he did not find the body of the high priest of the 'Church of Flesh', including his head and body, disappeared.

Although this does not prove that the 'high priest of flesh and blood' is still alive.

But it was enough to make the sheriff frightened.

Similarly, it also made Goethe vigilant.

With Skiffins Steinbeck's style, since he has made a move, he will definitely make a death move, and it is absolutely impossible to give the opponent a chance to "resurrect from the dead".

But now, the body of the 'high priest of flesh and blood' is gone.

There are only two possibilities.

First, Skiffins Steinbeck kept his hand.

Second, someone stole the body of that 'high priest of flesh and blood' under Alger Aldrich's nose.

The latter seemed almost impossible to Goethe.

That leaves only the former.

The opponent deliberately spared the life of the "high priest of flesh and blood"!

"What does this lunatic want to do?"

"Why leave yourself an enemy?"

Goethe felt a pain in his temple just thinking about the owner of the pine nut hotel.

Just as you never know what the next chocolate jelly bean will taste like, you'll never know what a madman is thinking.

unless……

You are crazy too.

Goethe didn't want to make himself a madman yet.

Therefore, he temporarily gave up his speculation about Skiffins Steinbeck.

He took out the picture-complex language and some extraordinary knowledge notes prepared by Mrs. Burns for him to read. He didn't plan to spend the 6-day journey in eating, drinking and sleeping.

Twenty minutes later, Goethe felt that simple reading was too boring, so he read while eating and drinking.

An hour later, Goethe decided to eat and drink in order not to stain his notes with food-stained hands.

After eating and drinking, Goethe felt sleepy, and Goethe planned to read his notes after waking up.

And so the first day passed.

The same goes for the next day.

On the third day, Goethe warned himself that he could not go down like this anymore, and that he had to work hard, but today's butter cookies were delicious.

On the fourth day, Goethe thought he could resist the temptation of butter cookies. In order to face his temptation, he ordered another butter cookie, and then...

It smells so good!

On the fifth day, Goethe learned from the mistakes of the previous day and prepared to give himself a bigger test again to prove his firm will. Therefore, there were not only cream cookies but also puffs.

It smells so good!

The sixth day, early morning.

In the bathroom, Goethe stood in front of the mirror, looking at the young man with rounded cheeks in the mirror, he said seriously.

"Goethe, Goethe, you can't indulge yourself any longer!"

"You have to work hard!"

Facing his last day's itinerary, Goethe made up his mind not to indulge in sweets anymore. He really picked up the notes carefully prepared by Mrs. Burns, but when he was flipping through the second page, there was a sudden sound in the carriage. noise.

Immediately afterwards——

boom!

It was gunshots.
