At the time of the vigil, Dean, who was sitting on the beam, silently thought about the development direction of his own strength, especially several high-level secret techniques, which made Dean carefully arrange.

Among them, the first high-level secret technique mastered: [Shadow Calling Technique]!

It also made Dean have some other ideas.

Because, this secret technique is the only secret art that Dean knows of that does not require XP - it relies on a one-time training time to increase his level.

During this period, it is the energy value that is consumed.

It takes about a little bit of energy per minute, Lv1-Lv2, it takes about ten minutes, Lv2-Lv3, it takes about twenty minutes, and so on to reach Lv12, or even Lv13, it takes at least 120-130 energy.

Energy = (Constitution + Perception + Will) X2

In other words, at least 20 hours of physique, perception, and will are required before it is possible to reach the level of Lv12 with the [Shadow Calling Technique].

"No, it shouldn't be like this!"

Dean, who had just come to this conclusion, quickly shook his head—he thought of the female assassin before him.

Jiadis's mastery of the [Shadow Calling Technique] is definitely Lv12's Cheng dù.

And with the strength of the other party's appearance, it is absolutely impossible for the physique, perception and will to reach 20 Cheng Dù in each item - that is the gold level, and Jiadis is definitely not a gold level powerhouse.

Otherwise, the previous battle would not have been able to end like that.

"Maybe the attribute was not reached, but some kind of secret medicine was used?"

When such an idea appeared in Dean's mind, he was immediately approved by Dean.

As a 'brotherhood' that regards the [Shadow Calling Technique] as the core body forging secret art. Hundreds of years of heritage. Definitely something will change.

It can make a secret medicine that can assist in the [Shadow Breathing Technique]. It's just too normal.

Especially when the leader of their revival is still the famous Onidon, everything is taken for granted.

After all, the great wizard Onidon was good at refining all kinds of medicines, many of which increased the body's various elements.

And almost subconsciously, Dean thought of the notebook about the other party in his hand.

A note that relies on 'potions' to decrypt.

"Hopefully something will be rewarded!"

Dean subconsciously walked to his tent and took the notebook out of his bag—he had been trying to develop his own power. There was no more time and no better time to juggle this notebook, but for now, for Dean, it was just right.

He already has a certain amount of power.

As long as it continues to operate according to the existing model, it can fully reach the scale of the set goal.

And the rest is only a plan of its own strength.

In surpassing the original set goal, Dean has already made a change in the plan of his own strength-

The stronger, the better!

As for why not forces?

Even with the name of the Zelgang family, the Emerald royal family still exists. Perhaps he is now developing rapidly because of the trust of the Jade Grand Duke.

However, after reaching a certain degree of dù. There will inevitably be limitations.

Even if it wasn't the original intention of the Jade Grand Duke.

However, the existence of the royal family, the forces formed by the major families within the jade, will become a force for obstruction.

Before the time came, Dean was reluctant to touch this bottom line for the time being.

Of course, what is more important is that the establishment of forces, the training of subordinates, and the recruitment of troops are not things that can be completed overnight.

However, their own strength is different!

With a systematic existence, Dean's own strength can develop at a rapid pace!

All you need is enough XP!

However, if he doesn't even need XP, Dean will definitely not mind, and will even feel happy - even if Dean suppresses the level, but with the [Mountain Power] and [Troll Power] two special high-level secret techniques that require great XP value, XP is completely insufficient.

Therefore, for the [Shadow Calling Technique] that does not require XP value to increase the level, Dean is still extremely concerned, especially when there is a 'shortcut'-

Vials of different levels of healing potions appeared in Dean's hands.

According to the level of potions that appeared on the note, Dean soaked the paper one by one - there was a harvest in the 'mist', some healing potions were nothing to Dean at all, even if it was a fatal healing potion, Dean didn't hesitate too much, he uncorked the bottle and soaked the note.

And after the paper of the last note was soaked, the whole book of wizards' notes that looked extremely ordinary was automatically windless.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands were flipping through this notebook.

A faint, soft glow began to peek through the entire notebook.

Eventually, when the light disappeared completely, the wizard's note in front of him had completely changed.

The upper and lower covers are still there, but the middle paper is connected.

When Dean picked up the upper and lower covers and pulled them left and right, all of a sudden, the paper that had been connected into a piece completely appeared in front of Dean.

It's a map!

"Emerald Capital?!"

With only a slight recognizance of the pattern on the map, Dean couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

Although Onidon was active in the entire Emerald Kingdom a hundred years after the founding of the Emerald Kingdom, there is even a real room of this wizard master in the Emerald Capital.

However, what Dean didn't expect was that the other party would put some extremely secret things in the Emerald Capital.

You must know that the capital of any country is the place with the most well-guarded and complex circle of influence, and the secrets of anything placed in these places are naturally quite difficult to keep.

No normal person would make such a choice.

Unless...... It's a last resort!

"There must have been something special that happened at that time that made this great wizard have to do this......"

Dean thought silently.

At the same time, in the bottom of his heart. There is another speculation: Or is it a suspicious formation?

It's not impossible.

Especially for some wizards. I like to do it even more.

But. This is not a good thing for Dean at this moment - at least, he will not be able to touch the secrets of Onidon in the real sense of the word until he completes his journey south.

Although Dean expressed regret about this, after understanding that it was impossible to violate the matter for the time being, Dean did not stay where he was and sighed.

He left the tent and continued to do his duty.

He now has the duty of keeping vigil. At the same time, there are still some things waiting for him in Nangang County, but he doesn't have time to lament his bad luck.

Smack, smack......

Dean threw several sticks of wood into the campfire, and immediately the dry wood made a burning crunch.

The flames of the bonfire immediately rose again, illuminating the entire camp.

Dean sat on the beams by the campfire, silently waiting for the dawn.

……

Under the same night sky.

In Southport County, somewhere in the manor, seven or eight people sat in a large hall. They gather around the square table, or close their eyes to recuperate. Or whispering.

Nord, the mercenary, stood quietly in the corner of the hall.

Although he had brought back extremely important news, he was still not qualified to sit at the table.

And there are more than a dozen people like Nord here, far more than there are people sitting there.

However, none of them expressed dissatisfaction, and they all stood there with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes like Nord, without saying a word, waiting for the family decision-makers sitting there to make a final decision.

"Ahem, ahem, everybody...... You've got the news, right? The King of Frost is back again! ”

An elder with gray hair and beard and a pair of reading glasses coughed under his breath and said slowly.

"The King of Frost? It's already gone hundreds! ”

A middle-aged man sitting there sneered.

"Yes, Zelgan's surname is not something that anyone can have if they say they have it—I also say that I am a descendant of the Frost King!"

Another decision-maker who was doing the same sneered.

"Seymour is Seymour, Zelgang is Zelgaon, we can't be confused!"

The man who said this was a well-mannered young man, about twenty years old, well-dressed, with a handsome face, and bright eyes under his long brown shawl hair.

Although he is young, he sits in the position of decision-maker.

In the same way, he was very revered -

"Colko, that's right!"

"Well, that makes sense!"

……

As soon as the young man's voice fell, all the people present who had not yet spoken nodded their heads.

"However, Zelgaon's surname, after all, is the surname of the Frost King, and we are the Frost Nobles!"

The white-haired elder sighed, emphasizing his words again.

"Elder Ronk, you've said that Zelgaon's surname is the Frost King's surname, so how can you be sure that Dean. Willing. Is Zelgang the real Zelgaon? ”

The young man sat there leisurely, looked at the white-haired elder, and asked slowly.

"You want to talk about the Sword of Frost? Or blood? Don't forget, those guys have it too—alas, they're obedient to the conquering king! ”

The young man did not wait for the elder to answer, and continued.

"Yes! Those guys also have similar heritage, bloodline, how can we discern it? ”

"That's it! Colco was right! ”

……

There was another echo.

And in such a echo, the old man with white hair couldn't help frowning, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After that, the meeting broke up.

When the crowd dispersed, Nord was called in front of him by the old man.

"Inform Dean of what happened here. Willing. His Excellency Zelgaon...... I tried my best, but under the blindness of greed, I couldn't do anything! ”

After the elder finished speaking, he stood up with a sigh and staggered out.

He looked up at the night sky, and then, with cloudy tears, choked up.

"Zelgaon, Zelgaon......"

The elder muttered under his breath.
