The team of the Zelgan family, at a considerable pace, continued to move forward.

Inside the wide carriage, Tom handed Dean a clean towel—

"My lord, just leave these things to Haim, with the strength of Haim and the other nine people, it is enough to send those robbers away......"

Watching Dean wipe his tea-soaked palms with a towel, Tom couldn't help but say.

"But it will delay the time to save people, will it?"

Dean replied with a smile as he returned the towel to Tom.

In the previous attack, Dean condensed a pot of tea with the freezing air of the [Extreme Cold Method], and then used his fingers to pop out the tiny ice slag one by one.

Neither the [Blazing Method] nor the [Extreme Cold Method] can directly achieve long-range attacks.

And in Dean's opinion, this is also the only shortcoming of the two secret arts.

However, Dean doesn't think that such a shortcoming will make the value of the two secret arts any lower, after all, any secret art and secret tradition have a bias.

As a person who practices secret arts, what is needed is to select and combine these secret methods and secret traditions with their own emphasis, so as to achieve the most suitable process for themselves.

"Is it because of the boy's reminder?"

Tom was stunned.

"That's a kind young man!"

Dean replied with a smile.

Faced with such an answer, Tom did not speak again.

Because, it's a fact.

People who can give reminders in such an environment have to be said to be kind.

Do good people have good rewards?

Tom subconsciously glanced at the loyalist of his soul, and the corners of his mouth turned up, after putting the towel away. He picked up the book in front of him again.

And on the side, she hugged Mivier, who was earring. He never took his eyes off the books. Didn't care about the outside in the slightest.

For this girl, the books in front of her are the most important thing, and if you can read them with your ears, it is an incomparable enjoyment.

In fact, among Dean's companions, in addition to Tom, Mivier, Kerr, and Tiger, who could only sit outside the carriage because of his huge size, these Dean had already decided, there was also a team of ten escorts outside. Consists of a large knight and nine knights; And this is what the elder Ronk forced in.

'Young Master, you are the patriarch of the Zelgang family, how can you not have a personal guard by your side? ’

Elder Ronk, who was almost crying bitterly when he said such words, made Dean have to agree.

Because Dean was worried that if he refused, the old man would draw his sword and cut himself.

For this old man who put his whole mind on the family, Dean couldn't say no.

After all, the other party is a selfless person.

However, for this matter, Dean saw a team of 100 guards. Still holding on to his own - Elder Ronk had apparently pulled out the elite of the Zelgang family.

Eventually, Dean was named after the 'Zelgaon family's legacy in the South. It also needs to be guarded', and after two hours of agreement, the team of guards was reduced to the current ten.

Naturally, these ten people were carefully selected by Elder Ronke.

Except for the leader Haim, a middle-aged man who had already reached the Great Knight and was approaching the Silver Level, the remaining nine people were all young people above the Knight and close to the level of the Great Knight Knight.

It is no exaggeration to say that these are the backbone of the future Zelgang family.

In Dean's opinion, it was only a matter of time before Heim became a silver rank, and it was also only a matter of time before these young men became big knights.

With the inclination of the entire family's resources, coupled with extraordinary talent, this qiē has become a matter of course.

Looking at these guards, Dean subconsciously thought of the few young people he had selected.

"More resources are needed to cultivate - not only mysticism, esoteric traditions, but also medicines, and corresponding guidance ......"

Dean thought silently.

Then, his eyes swept to his skill bar-

[Vajra Body Lv7 (Broken): A special change appears on your body, even if it is not complete now; Effect: Constitution +1.5, Sturdiness +2.9;Special Effect: Impregnable Lv7 (When the defense is hit, the team gains +3.5 advantage, and when the defense decision exceeds the opponent's attack decision, the opponent will be hit back according to the percentage of the opponent's defense decision - the opponent's attack decision)]

(Percentage Attack Damage, based on your own Attack Power)

(Note 1: Special option is CON +0.4)

(Note 2: This skill limit has been reached)

After the body forging secret technique [Tide] was recognized by the system, the skill ceiling of the fusion secret technique [Diamond Body], which Dean had always attached great importance to, was increased again.

From Lv4 to Lv7, the King Kong body directly gave Dean a 1.5 sturdiness again, and the judgment advantage of the special effect [Impregnable] was also increased by 1.5.

Although the physique has only increased by 0.2 due to the almost limit, other changes are undesirable for Dean at this moment - when facing more and more powerful opponents, it is difficult for the original level [Vajra Body] to play its due role.

Even if he has [imitation. Armor of Western Steel].

And now the changes brought about by the level increase, coupled with the increased physique attributes and talents of Dean at the moment.

A sturdiness of 19.02!

This value makes it easy for Dean to face any opponent who is not at the gold level.

Unless the opponent has a special weapon in his hand, uses magic, attribute attacks, or long-range attacks, Dean only needs to stand in place and rely on the true damage of the bounce alone to make the attacker unable to eat and walk around.

Changing [Diamond Body] from Lv4 → Lv7 costs Dean 3600XP.

This is naturally a lot of consumption for Dean, who only allowed his XP value to reach 3700 after killing the 'Shadow Arrow', and it can even be said that it is exhausted.

After all, neither the secret technique [Flash] being studied nor the secret [Quick Sword Technique] can be done with just 100XP value.

Hence Dean's shot before. It also has the meaning of replenishing XP value.

But. It turned out to be a bit of a surprise to Dean.

【XP+180】

Glanced at the XP gained. Dean frowned.

It's not too little, on the contrary, it's a little too much.

Then Dean carefully pulled the information bar of the system, and when he found that there were five [XP+20] messages, Dean's brows furrowed more and more.

"In a group of robbers who numbered just over 100, five knights appeared!"

Dean sneered inwardly.

It is not that a person with the strength of a knight will not become a robber.

It's like someone who made a big mistake and is wanted. In desperation, in order to survive, they will become robbers.

For example, in the snowy forests of the Emerald North, there are bandits in a similar situation.

However, it was in the snowy forest, far from the Emerald Empire, on the edge of the harsh climate.

And this is the junction of the Emerald Capital and the three southern counties.

Although it is a vacuum zone in a sense, this vacuum zone is only for ordinary bandits, if it is a bandit team composed of five knight-level people, whether it is the Emerald Capital or the three southern counties, they will not sit idly by. Troops will definitely be sent to encircle and suppress it.

"There are still two months left on Midsummer Night, and you can't bear to stir up the wind and rain?"

Dean narrowed his eyes. Guessing the origin of this gang of robbers.

Naturally, the three southern counties were the first to be excluded.

With the character of the Archduke of Jade, he would never do such a thing, and among the three county kings under his command, the Countess de Ta was far away in Nangang County, and she was beyond the reach of this whip; The knights under the command of Earl Merry, because they had acted at the same time, Dean still remembered it, and there was no one among the previous robbers.

And the nearest Countess of Katyu?

Chi Yanlan's fiery temper and jealous and hateful temperament, Dean really understands that the other party is also unlikely to do such a thing.

And after excluding the three southern counties, it is natural that the royal family of the Emerald Capital, as well as the nobles of the north, or ...... Some shady forces.

"Even if you are jealous of your sister and disgruntled, you won't do such a thing that damages your foundation, and the nobles of the north?"

Excluding the young king, Dean subconsciously frowned.

He thought of the second son of the Marquis of York.

If anyone is most likely to do this, the second son of the Marquis is undoubtedly the biggest suspect.

With Dean's understanding of the other party, the second son of the marquis could definitely do such a thing for his own selfish interests.

The other party in his memory 'sold' the whole of Yorkshire to Setti in order to bring down his brother!

"Delen. York ......"

Dean muttered the name and subconsciously picked up a piece of parchment from the side.

This is the news from Horntown, which has been recorded by a special person.

Among them, it roughly means: Ike launched several new potions, very popular, but was targeted by some nobles, wanting to 'poach' Ike, after Ike refused, some nobles were taught a hard lesson by Lauder, temporarily restrained; however, according to Lauder's private investigation, these nobles are just some pawns, and the real behind-the-scenes person should be the second son of the Marquis of York.

Naturally, it was Leni who delivered the message.

The person who relays the news does so in the tone of an observer.

So, it seems a bit nondescript, but it doesn't stop Dean from understanding what it means.

And it was precisely because of this incident that Dean left Nangang County in advance, and the Jade Grand Duke did not stop him in the slightest.

Every family has a so-called root.

Some are secret arts, secret transmissions, and some are special knowledge.

Potions, on the other hand, are the latter.

Any outsider who seeks to seize these things is undoubtedly an enemy of life and death.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Zelgan family's life-and-death enemy, the Emerald Grand Duke naturally would not let Dean delay her time with her again; However, some advice is inevitable.

After all, the Marquis of York is one of the two golden powerhouses of Jade.

"Your Highness, you are always so kind!"

Thinking of the Jade Grand Duke's advice, Dean couldn't help but chuckle.

However, the next moment, when his eyes looked at the parchment in his hand, his gaze became extremely cold.
