Chapter 771: Preparation
The news of the return of the Zelgan family to the north of the Emerald in accordance with the ancestral teachings spread throughout the Emerald Capital in one day.
Doubts, incomprehension, and even suspicion have surged up in the hearts of many people.
However, with the ancestral teachings as a rhetoric, no one can really question the Zelgang family.
Especially when the patriarch of the Zelgang family is the commander of the Northern Alliance, the guardian of the Northlands, and is a golden powerhouse in the true sense of the word, such a question is even more impossible.
Of course, such a return is definitely not something that can be completed in a short period of time.
Aside from the longer distances, the biggest problem is the number of people.
Far away in the county of Vauban in Zelgan, it needs to be well prepared to accommodate more people.
After all, the original Knights of the F'Race, the current Knights of the Zelgang Family, and the Zergaon Family Clansmen who came from Southport County combined to more than three thousand.
This is still 'Severed' Jack, Arriander and other people who are good at lurking in the shadows will not accompany them, otherwise there will be more of them.
But even that was enough to make Lauder anxious.
However, Lauder will never complain about Dean.
Because, Lauder knows very well that the things that Dean needs to deal with are beyond his reach, and the things that he can handle are things that Dean will not take a look at all.
Moreover, under Dean's wave, there are not a few capable people.
Everyone has their own role.
It is inevitable to compete in secret, and for Lauder, who is not outstanding in force, it is natural to show his ability in other aspects. Otherwise, he will only be squeezed out of Dean's most core camp.
And Lauder. This is not a situation that is absolutely not wanted.
So. Lauder is definitely very attentive to what is in front of him.
"The wood of the house in front of me is good, so I have to tear it down and take it away...... However, transportation is very troublesome, and an extra horse is required to pull the cart...... No, it's a bit of a loss! Take away the ornaments from the house and exchange the house for a Kimpton or a horse......"
Lauder calculates the property that belongs to Dean one by one.
In the end, the exact value was reached for each copper.
And this made the merchants who had come from the Emerald City turn green - they had never seen such a picky, yet shrewd fellow.
Talking to the guy in front of you about business is a war.
But. Even so, these merchants were not dazed enough to use some special means.
They know who the guy in front of them serves.
And, looking at the sturdy knights around them, they were also wise to put away their thoughts.
"Lauder is really doing a good job!"
The Grand Duke Swordsman stood in front of the window and looked outside, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Lauder will be very happy to hear your compliment!"
Dean smiled.
"Do you have to go?"
The Grand Duke Swordsman turned his head, looked at Dean, and asked with a star.
"Hmm!"
Dean didn't avoid the Grand Duke's swordsman's gaze.
"It's not worth it in my opinion, and I don't need as much Kimpton right now, even though it's a good tax!"
There was a pause. Dean continued.
"Tell the truth!"
Grand Duke Swordsman emphasized.
"Since I can't stay in Emerald for a long time, then ...... It's better to fade out of sight. It's too close to the Emerald Capital! β
Dean spread his hands and said what he really thought.
"Your current prestige and strength, you don't need to pay attention to those guys at all, why do you have to leave?"
There was a hint of helplessness in the soft face of the Grand Duke Swordsman.
"Just because I ignore them doesn't mean there won't be contact, and if there is, friction will definitely occur, and in the end such friction will inevitably lead to another killing - Instructor, believe me, I'm not kidding, I know far better than you what some guys think! If it weren't for you and Your Highness, I wouldn't have minded staying here, but you're all ...... I don't want to make a mess for you, so it's best for me to go back to the North! β
Dean spoke with sincerity.
"Those guys are just some remnants, they don't have the guts......"
The Grand Duke swordsmanship spoke with hesitation.
After all, Emerald had just undergone a purge and had been hanged outside the city walls during the war with Siti.
The new successors are all well-known and capable people.
Moreover, the current successors are doing quite well.
"Instructor, the reason why people's hearts are terrible is not because they are unfathomable, but because they are fickle! We can make a bet that it won't take too long...... How about five years? β
Dean shook his finger and said with a smile.
"Do you think I'm going to be a bettor?"
The Grand Duke Swordsman sighed softly, and a look appeared on his more and more softened face that made Dean couldn't help but look away.
It's not that the charm is not enough.
It's charm enough!
But because of this, Dean looked away.
Dean's appearance was seen by the Grand Duke Swordsman, so that the Grand Duke Swordsman buried what he wanted to say in his heart again, she gently brushed the silver hair over her ears, and said softly: "Lily is growing at a very fast speed...... She's targeting you! β
"Aim for me...... That's not a good thing! β
Dean sighed.
"But you're her target!"
Grand Duke Swordsman said slowly.
Obviously, the Grand Duke Swordsman, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, has a trace of anger.
And this trace of anger made the Grand Duke Sword Master not give Dean a chance to explain at all.
Without waiting for Dean to answer, the figure of the Grand Duke Sword Master disappeared into the room.
Dean was left alone, smiling bitterly.
There are some things that he can't really solve.
"Alas!"
With a heavy sigh, Dean stood up and walked towards the second floor.
Next to a round coffee table. Three large sofas inside. There were two people already sitting in it. One of them stretched his legs and feet comfortably, and the other tasted it carefully with a teacup, and when he saw Dean coming up, the one who tasted the tea immediately said jokingly: "This is not the way to do it!" β
"What does the love saint do? It's as if you have countless lovers! β
Dean glanced at Long Lang angrily and sat down on the empty couch.
"I really have!"
Long Lang said very seriously.
However, neither Dean nor the flowing fire who stretched his body on one side paid any attention to the other party's meaning, and the flowing fire said directly: "We don't gain much...... The Ring of Morbius and the Cult of God are much more barren than imagined. It's just an empty shell, and the secret techniques and secret legends we have are all that, and the information of the world destroyer has not been found at all, so we are one step too late! β
"A step too late? Is it Tin Bone and Susanna? β
Dean frowned.
As for the situation of the Ring of Morbius and the Cult of God, Dean, who had participated in the First and Second Blood Moon Wars, knew something, and after the two merged with each other, he was still defeated by King Setti.
In addition to the strength of King Sitti, it is more about the weak relationship between the two themselves.
Of course, there will still be certain gains.
Dean is convinced.
But. The next moment, when the Flowing Fire actually took out what it had found. But it was beyond Dean's expectations.
"No, if Tin Bone and Suzanne had made a move, it would have been impossible to leave this thing ......"
As he spoke, Flowing Fire took out a tightly sealed bronze box.
"What is this?"
Dean's gaze was on the Flowing Fire.
The bronze box not only obscured Dean's vision, making it impossible for Dean to see what was inside, but also rendered Dean's perception useless.
"'Origin'! The Ring of Morbius and the Origin of the Cult...... It has nothing to do with the Castle in the Sky - to be honest, I was so surprised when I saw it! Because, as far as I know, this thing should have been destroyed by the Heavens a long time ago! β
Liuhuo said with a solemn face.
"Ruined by the Heavens?"
Dean asked rhetorically.
"Hmmm! It tried to control the Heavenly Dead, but was countered by the Heavenly Dead - this was no secret in the original Ring of Mobius! β
Flowfire nodded.
"And this bronze box is 'protection'?"
Dean gestured to the bronze box.
"For us, for itβand, I know, the Celestial Death has gained quite a bit from that counterattack!"
Flowing Fire said mysteriously.
"Heaven can be, it doesn't mean we can!"
Long Lang said directly.
"One may not work, but what about the three of us?"
Flowing Fire pointed at himself, at Dean and Long Lang.
"What will happen?"
Dean asked confirmatively.
"A special place, there are dangers, there are opportunities--the Celestial Death says it's a ruined temple, and there are some evil fanatics in it, and there are also many libraries with secret arts, secret traditions, and maybe some special items...... Who knows! Heavenly Death obtained his current weapon from it, allowing him to completely crush enemies of the same level! β
Flowfire shrugged habitually.
"Crushing? That sounds really good! β
Long Lang whistled.
Dean also groaned slightly.
"How's it going, Dean?"
Flowing Fire looked at Dean, waiting for Dean to make a decision.
He wasn't completely sure of the places he could enter, but if Dean and Ryuro joined, he would naturally be much more sure.
And if you want to get Takashi to join, the best way is naturally to convince Dean.
Drifting fire is very clear about this.
"What if it fails?"
Dean asked.
"Failure? That's definitely not a good result......"
The words of the flowing fire were not finished, but their meaning was naturally self-evident.
"I think we need to ask the Celestial Death directly, and then, make a decision!"
Dean said.
"Agreed!"
Takashi nodded immediately.
"Great idea!"
Flowing Fire's eyes lit up immediately.
