Calamity Crown

Chapter 114 The First Hand Chapter Twelve Ascension!

With the disappearance of a piece of [Bloody Honor] and piles of cash in the secret room in front of him, Goethe's [Steinbeck Breathing Method] was raised by one level.

[Steinbeck Breathing Method (Introduction): When the 'knowledge of witches' was made public by the 'Mad King', the ancestors of the Steinbeck family were the first people to come into contact with this 'knowledge'. Diligent and adventurous, combined with the knowledge he has learned, through continuous practice, he found a way to improve his talent, although the process is quite long and painful, and now you have made a step forward, you have begun to have My own experience. 】

[Effect: Heart +0.2 (Basic, Entry +0.1)]

(Note: This secret technique can increase the level)

...

call!

Goethe let out a long breath.

Although the change of [Heart] is not as direct as that of [Body], it is still obvious enough.

Goethe could clearly feel a sense of fullness rising from the depths of his soul.

satisfy.

Happy.

And, more and more powerful.

You must know that the change of [Heart], for Goethe, directly affects [Desperate Gaze] and [Ominous Sing].

As long as the [heart] is strong enough for the former, it will be a crushing victory.

And the latter?

Reconnaissance and combat are almost omnipotent.

Therefore, under the premise of sufficient [Blood Honor] and sufficient cash, Goethe immediately chose to upgrade again.

"[Blood Honor] Upgrade [Steinbeck Breathing Method] to the proficient level!"

With [Unarmed Combat] as a reference, Goethe knew that when the skill reached the proficiency level, additional options would appear. The proficiency option [well-trained] in [Unarmed Combat] gave him an additional increase in [body].

[Steinbeck Breathing Method] What are the additional options for reaching the proficient level?

Goethe looked forward to it.

But as the words in front of him appeared line by line, Goethe was stunned——

[Steinbeck breathing method (proficient): When the 'knowledge of witches' was made public by the 'mad king', the ancestors of the Steinbeck family were the first people to come into contact with this 'knowledge'. Diligent and adventurous, combining what he has learned, through continuous practice, he found a way to improve his talent, although the process is quite long and painful, and now you have mastered this breathing method , and obtained additional gains]

[Effect: Heart +0.4 (Basic, Beginner, Skilled, Mastery +0.1)]

[Gain the extra proficiency option 'Lucky Fortune']

[Fortune: In daily life and when facing things related to money, it will increase a little wealth luck! 】

(Note: This secret technique can increase the level)

...

"[Fortune]?"

Looking at the extra proficiency options in front of [Steinbeck Breathing Method], Goethe seemed to understand why the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel was so rich.

As for the extra proficiency option itself?

Goethe still likes it very much.

After all, who hates fortune?

Glancing at the remaining two copies of [Bloody Honor] and the empty secret room in front of him, Goethe sighed slightly.

[Steinbeck Breathing Method] It takes two copies of [Blood Honor] and... 20,000 gold grams to upgrade from the proficient level to the expert level - he has the former, but the latter?

For a short time, Goethe didn't think about it at all.

Adding his 'Anchor World' and two 'Secret Realms' properties together, it is estimated that it would be difficult to get 20,000 gold grams.

Of course, it's another story if you sell [Unknown Song] or [Shadow Snake Blade].

However, unless Goethe is insane, it is impossible to sell two items.

When [Steinbeck Breathing Method] couldn't improve, Goethe didn't have the idea of accumulating [Blood Honor].

Before long, he will face an unknown enemy.

If you want to keep it at this time, then you are sick in your head.

Accumulation must be exchanged for strength!

Goethe set his sights on 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice.Wolf', 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice.Vine' and 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice.Flame'.

Two [Blood Honor] can learn two of them.

As for which two?

Goethe had already planned.

He chose 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice.Wolf' and 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice.Flame' - the books that recorded the three secret arts. Goethe didn't read them in vain. And "Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Flame" can be used immediately, "Celtic Blood Sacrifice, Vines" needs to plant some vines by yourself. Even with the blessing of the secret technique, the vines that grow much faster are impossible in the Grows in a few hours and comes in handy.

"[Blood Honor] Learn 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Wolf'!"

"[Blood Honor] Learn 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Flames'!"

Once again, rows of words began to appear in front of Goethe's eyes——

[Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Wolf (incomplete): In the Celtic school of more ancient times, change has always been considered one of the first mysteries, and many Celtic priests have tirelessly studied it, but when raised by a she wolf When the older children led the army, these priests suddenly found that their own group was powerless to resist. They retreated while fighting. No matter how powerful the blood sacrifice technique was, they could not defeat that terrifying guy. Obeying the rule, the opponent had to open up the battlefield again, which gave the ancient Celtic priests a chance to breathe, and they began to specialize in the changes of 'wolves'! And this secret technique in your hands is not complete, it is only a part of the remnant from that year. 】

[Effect: transformed into a werewolf, body +1, get fur and bullet-level claws that can resist bullet-level attacks (obtained according to the current stage [body] judgment)]

(Note 1: When transforming into a werewolf, it will continue to consume stamina)

(Note 2: During the full moon, there will be no violent transformation)

(Note 3: This secret technique cannot be upgraded, but it can be completed)

...

[Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Wolf] did not exceed Goethe's expectations.

Basically the same as recorded in the book.

However, [Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Flame] is different.

[Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Flame (incomplete): Faced with the attack of the son of the she-wolf, some ancient Celtic priests chose to study 'wolves', while another part of the ancient Celtic priests chose a more traditional method: flames! They expected to use flames to expel the son of the monster. In the end, they had enough breakthrough research, but in the raid of the son of the monster, the research disappeared without really being transformed into results. 】

[Effect: Consume a certain amount of stamina and summon a bullet-level flame to attack the enemy! 】

...

[Discovered the secret technique 'Burning Hand', judging...]

['Heart' attribute has reached 0.3, the judgment is passed! 】

[You can integrate the 'Celtic Blood Sacrifice. Flame' into the 'Burning Hand' to improve the 'Burning Hand'! 】

...

"Can it be integrated?"

Goethe was startled.

Goethe never dared to underestimate the gifts of the 'witches'.

It’s just that Goethe never imagined that such a gift could have the ability of “fusion”—in Goethe’s understanding, such a “fusion” should be achieved after a long period of research and suffering. of.

but now?

He just said yes.

Then, the brand new [Burning Hand] appeared.

This is too...

Great!

It's cool to open and hang for a while, and it's always cool to open and hang!

Inexplicably, this sentence appeared in Goethe's mind.

Even though he was still vigilant, at this moment, he still couldn't contain the excitement in his heart.

He looked at the brand new [Burning Hand]!

[Burning Hand: After the exploration of the remains of the "Robert Family" and the incomplete "flame" of the ancient Celtic priests, a new secret technique was born, which is more powerful and more flexible]

[Effect: Consume a little physical strength, start from your palm, spray a cone-shaped flame forward, the flame angle is 30°, the length is 1-10 meters, the judgment level is from the blade to the explosive level, and when you continue to spray, it will increase Stamina consumption; or, you can summon a group of fireballs with a judgment level ranging from blades to explosives, and throw them at the target]

(Note 1: There is no need for gestures and pictographs. When you raise your palm with a thought, the flame will shoot out)

(Note 2: You can spray flames with either hand, but not both hands at the same time)

(Note 3: When you throw flames, you need to aim yourself, and the throwing distance needs to be determined according to your [body])

(Note 4: This secret technique cannot be upgraded)

...

hot!

The scorching heat flowing from the bottom of my heart surged into my palm again.

In Goethe's clenched fist, the fire flickered.

But then it goes off immediately.

He turned his head to look at An and Xiusta who were walking not far away.

"Why is this secret room empty?!"

Susta exclaimed.

Then, without Goethe's explanation, he said harshly, "Pentel is too cunning, he must have moved the things in the secret room in advance—just like back then."

"It's another 'disappearance of dark gold'!"

The resentful Xiusta suddenly looked at Goethe.

"Goethe, do you know divination?"

"Can you tell where the money went?"

Siusta looked at Goethe expectantly.

"Divination is not a panacea!"

"The chance of divination error is very high!"

"and……"

"I don't know what disappeared in the secret room at all, and I can't divination at all!"

Goethe sighed helplessly.

"Is that so?"

"I don't believe there is no trace!"

"There are surveillance cameras on the road!"

"The bank has current!"

"I will definitely find clues about this guy!"

Shusta said firmly.

Then, he turned around and ran outside.

Goethe looked at Shusta's back suspiciously, and he always felt that Shusta seemed a little different today.

"Shusta's earliest partner and teacher disappeared because of tracking down Pentel. Although there is no evidence to prove that Pentel did it, and the body was not found, but sometimes it is obvious."

Ann explained softly.

Goethe was stunned.

"Good luck, Shusta."

As Goethe said, he turned and looked at Ann.

A very serious expression, ready to say something.

Seeing Goethe like this, An, who was still smelling of gunpowder, suddenly thought of something, and immediately blushed.

The usually cold policewoman seemed a little at a loss at this moment.

She first took a step back slightly.

But it feels inappropriate, which seems to represent rejection.

So, another step forward.

But I feel like this again, am I being too proactive?

Immediately took another step back.
