Dean's gaze scanned—

[Strength of the Mountain Spirit: Lv8→Lv9] requires 8000 XP.

[Troll Power Lv12→13] requires 21800 XP.

According to the current XP value, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to increase the level of [Mountain Spirit].

However, in the same way, according to the proportion of upgrade XP required by [Mountain Spirit's Strength], the next level will require 12,000 XP, which is only 1,800 XP different from [Troll Power] reaching Lv13's 21,800XP value.

However, the benefits obtained are incomparable -

Two levels of [Mountain Spirit] can directly obtain 2 Constitution and Strength, and if you count [Earth Support], it is 3 Constitution and Strength.

And according to the description of [Troll Power], when you finally reach Lv13, the strength and physique obtained are absolutely beyond imagination.

Otherwise, the Marquis of York, no matter how talented he was, would not have been able to reach the gold level.

Therefore, even if it is the power of the mountain. Earth Support] has a special attack method, and from the current point of view, it is more suitable for [Troll Power].

"Accumulate enough XP to increase [Troll Power] to Lv13 without danger - even if my talent is not as good as that Ceylone. The Marquess of York, too, should be able to get enough gains! ”

Dean pondered for a moment, and then made a new decision.

Now, it is no longer the embarrassing period when he urgently used a qiē method to improve his strength, and after having a certain amount of strength, Dean has more options.

Of course. The idea of having the power of the mountain as the core has not changed - after all. The growth of the power of the mountain. Dean knows it.

According to the description, [Mountain Spirit's Power] has a similar effect to [Troll's Power] when it reaches the final level.

However, it's not the kind of difficulty surge that changes the XP value dozens of times.

Instead, use the existing difficulty to improve.

After all, the early cultivation of [Mountain Spirit Power] requires a considerable amount of energy and time.

Luckily, Dean has XP instead.

The same. If he could still find a body forging secret technique similar to the [Blazing Method], Dean didn't mind continuing to cultivate.

It's just that Dean doesn't have much hope for this.

If the Advanced Body Forging Secret Technique was so easy to obtain, the number of knights in Goddez would be at least twice as many as they are now.

Without the help of XP, people who start their knightly careers with basic secret arts and advanced secret arts are definitely two completely different concepts - no matter how good the talent of the former is, the great knight is the end; And the latter, even if it is an ordinary talent, can easily reach the level of a great knight.

Dean has seen many of these knights.

on this. Dean expressed his impotence.

Because, this is a status quo that even gold-level powerhouses can't change - the Jade Grand Duke wants to change this status quo. Therefore, there will be a teaching of the Grand Duke Swordsman's chief to the knights under his command.

But, that's just a small scale.

Once you leave the southern part of the jade, it is still the original rule.

Even, even in this small area, there are constant obstacles.

Thinking about the two countesses of the Deta and Katyu families, Dean couldn't help but sigh.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the two countesses, it's just that they stand on different sides.

Dean shook his head slightly, and after throwing these things out of his mind that couldn't be solved for the time being, he began to pay attention to the things in front of him-

The three spell slots brought by [Breath Holding].

Even if he has 0 and I. level spells, for the current Dean, there will be no qualitative change in strength.

However, that doesn't mean Dean will leave the three spell slots unused and ignore them.

【Communication】【Arcane Seal】

Two level 0 trick level spells, Dean made this choice after thinking about it.

The choice of [Communication] is naturally due to the concealment and convenience of using magic to transmit sounds, especially in some places where it is impossible to make sounds.

For example: Sneaking.

And the [Arcane Seal] is Dean's habit of being an assassin.

A marked target, even if he hides, is useless, because he is so conspicuous.

And in the I.-level spell selection, Dean has a lot fewer choices!

Because, although Dean knows almost all of the I.-level spells, he doesn't know how to build them.

Therefore, among more than a dozen spells that know how to build, Dean chose [Invisible Servant].

For some offensive and defensive spells, Dean's strength at the moment does not need too many blessings, on the contrary, some special auxiliary spells are what Dean wants.

After the simple spell slot was constructed, under the [Concentration Breath Holding Technique], three selected spells appeared-

[Communication: Whispering to people in line of sight, so that others cannot hear them; 3 times/day】

[Arcane Seal: Leave a mark that is visible only to oneself and lasts for 72 hours; 3 times/day】

[Invisible Servant: Summons an invisible force to your advantage (strength, agility, and constitution are all 1), lasts for 12 hours, and disappears after being attacked again; 1 time/day】

For the characteristics of these spells, it is like the construction of spell slots, and Dean, who has been simulated many times, is naturally clear.

Syllable!

With a snap of his fingers, an invisible force began to gather around Dean.

A servant with simple facial features in the shape of a humanoid in Dean's eyes appeared, moving with Dean's thoughts.

And when Dean closed his eyes, the vision of the [Invisible Servant] immediately appeared in Dean's mind.

It was a somewhat blurry vision.

It's not as clear as my own eyes, it's like wearing a pair of glasses that don't fit.

And with Dean's command, the [Invisible Servant] quickly circled the entire deck.

Just like the spell recorded, it has a certain ability to take air and can enter along the gap. And tirelessly.

As long as it is not under attack. There is no problem with maintaining a time of 12 hours.

Of course. It is also possible to counter-summon -

Syllable!

Dean snapped his fingers again, and the Invisible Servant vanished as if it had appeared before.

At the same time, Dean stood up and walked towards the deck.

Even though the [Invisible Servant]'s vision was not very clear before, he still saw some black dots on the sea level in the distance - the fleet.

"Young Master!"

Tom, who was about to enter the captain's room, looked at Dean who came out, and immediately saluted: "A fleet of Gosai ships is approaching us - it should be the navy of Gosai Kingdom!" ”

"Well, let's take a look!"

Dean nodded. Walked briskly onto the deck.

Compared to the vision of the [Invisible Servant], Dean who looked at it with his own eyes saw the flag on the mast of the fleet in the distance at first glance - the dragon lion!

The dragon lion, the shape of a lion, with long horns and dragon scales, is wrapped in flames, and is recognized as a symbol of the kingdom of Gosai because of the identity of the dragon descendant and king of the conquering king.

And while Dean's side saw each other, Gosai's side also saw Dean's side.

Faced with a large fleet of ships, especially after seeing the two galleons of Galen. Gao Sai did not immediately approach, but asked in the language of the flag.

Even though. They saw the battle banner of the Zelgaon family and the battle flag of the Emerald Grand Duke.

After all, impersonation is rare, but not impossible.

"Young Master, they're asking us for our identity!"

Standing on deck, Nord looked at the other party's flag and bowed to Dean.

"Sue them, our identity!"

Dean replied.

Immediately, Nord gave a relay, and saw the lookout on the lookout pull out the blue and red flag at his waist and begin to wave it quickly and clearly.

After a few moments, the flag-bearer on the opposite side of the high race gave an answer.

"They said they would tell Wang Dugang to confirm our identity, and they hoped that we would cooperate!"

Nord relayed the flag language.

"Hmm!"

Dean nodded.

Once again, his own flag bearer replied to the Gosai side.

Then, a two-masted and two sloops on the Gosey side approached - and before he could get closer, Dean could clearly see a falcon unleashed.

Undoubtedly, it was for arraignment.

The two sloops came to rest a little farther away, and the two-masted sailed on until it was less than thirty yards from Dean's flagship, when it lowered a small boat.

In the boat, two sailors rowed their oars, and a man with a younger face stood at the bow of the boat.

The other party's skin has become dark due to the long sun exposure, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that are not suitable for his age, but his eyes are very bright.

And the hard leather armor with shoulder pads makes the opponent's figure appear tall and strong.

"Hello, Lord Zelgaon!"

Climbed up the soft ladder to Dean's flagship, and the other party greeted Dean in the emerald lingua franca with a high Sai accent.

"Hello, excuse me?"

Dean stepped forward with a smile and asked.

"Andro, Captain of the First Fleet of the Gausai, Captain of the Third Fleet!"

The other person introduced himself, and then, looking around.

"Your Highness didn't go with us, we just arrived first!"

Obviously, Dean, who guessed what the other party was looking for, replied with a smile.

"Is that so?"

There was a hint of disappointment on the other party's face, but he quickly recovered, and he said, "Please show your identity credentials!" ”

Dean gestured to Tom.

Tom immediately took out the crest representing the Zelgan family and the knight's ring for the other party to see.

The young naval captain scrutinized it meticulously—

He looked at the Crest of the Zelgan family and the Knight's Ring, and used the communication crystal to communicate with his own people.

After a few moments, the young captain returned the family coat of arms and the knight's ring to Tom, and saluted Dean again, "Welcome, Lord Zelgaon!" ”

Compared with the previous ones, this time it is a little more respectful.

And at the same time, in the headquarters of the First Fleet of Gosai in the port of Wangdu-

Just finished the conversation with Andro, a certain lieutenant who confirmed the identity of Dean and his party quietly left his office and passed a message into the royal capital of Gao Sai.
