Dean and the Grand Duke's swordsmanship passed through the small Earl Merry at great speed, and came to a quieter courtyard.

"This is where Merry lives...... Are you sure that Merry is now 'Brotherhood' in disguise? ”

The Grand Duke swordsman pointed to the courtyard, and his face was cloudy.

While walking together, Dean briefly explained the ins and outs.

And the Grand Duke Swordsman, who had already had doubts, had no doubts about Dean's statement, which he had already trusted.

However, some concerns remain.

And the Count Merry himself is the figure that needs the most attention.

If it's really a 'brotherhood' pretend, naturally nothing, but if it's wrong......

When the Grand Duke Sword Master thought of the situation at that time, he couldn't help but frown.

"Hmm!"

Dean nodded affirmatively.

"Then let's go!"

After seeing Dean again, the Grand Duke Swordsman strode into Miss Merry's courtyard.

This courtyard is in the same vein as the whole mansion of the Count of Merry, small and simple, except for a small flower garden that is slightly overgrown, there is basically no more decoration.

In the main building in the entire courtyard, there is a very clear sound of footsteps.

Dean and Grand Duke Swordsman rushed straight to the main building without hesitation, and pushed the door open.

"Sister Etrice!"

Still in the same plain dress, Miss Merry was frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

However, looking at the Grand Duke swordsman who pushed the door in, he was pleasantly surprised.

But. After seeing Dean again. Miss Merry's face changed. The whole person rushed towards Dean violently, and his dark palm pierced into Dean's eyes.

Boom!

Seeing this scene, the Grand Duke Swordsman no longer hesitated, drew his sword out of its sheath, and pointed it directly at the back of the 'Brotherhood' assassin.

Dean also drew his long sword and pointed it at the other man's throat.

However, there was a deep sense of unease. but it was in his heart.

Although Yiqiē seemed to be as he inferred, he felt that it shouldn't be so simple!

The [Wind Thorn] in Dean's hand couldn't help but slow, and at the same time, he saw Miss Merry's eyes clearly—dull and hollow.

Immediately, a terrifying thought came to Dean's mind.

"Stop!"

Dean shouted.

The [Wind Thorn] in his hand immediately turned to the side, and at this time, the tip of the Grand Duke's sword-master's long sword touched the vital point of Miss Merry's vest.

Moreover, seeing Dean being attacked, the Grand Duke Swordsman, who shot with all his might, had no idea of keeping his hand.

Therefore, this time. Can't stop at all.

Dean, who had deflected his sword, quickly grabbed Miss Merry who had pounced in front of him with his left hand. Then, with a sharp turn, then a flip, straight into the other person's arms.

Then, with his back to the sword that stabbed him—

Laugh at!

The long sword pierced into the vest, and immediately, it brought out a bright red.

"Dean, Dean, are you alright?"

The Grand Duke Sword Master let out an exclamation.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a little bit of skin!"

Dean waved his hand, and then looked down at Miss Merry in his arms.

Miss Merry had fainted by this time, but her breathing was still steady, and Dean's eyes looked at each other's hands.

It's pitch black.

It's like a body forging secret technique [poisonous hand].

However, if you look closely, you can still see the difference, and the feeling of being painted from the inside out is different in the final analysis.

"It's ink! Is she really Merry? ”

After the Grand Duke swordsmanship looked at it carefully, he said with a frown.

"Well, it should be!"

Dean nodded, and then, taking a long breath, said, "The real Miss Merry has always been under the control of that female assassin - with Miss Merry's physique, a simple illusion can be confused, and the other party appeared in front of us in the form of Miss Merry, and when I killed her three times in a row, she gave up this identity and left me a trap...... If I do kill Miss Merry, I don't think Count Merry will give up! ”

Everyone knows that Count Merry has only one daughter, and he loves him very much.

If Dean really kills Miss Merry, even if there are some entanglements in between, a duel that is either you die or I die is absolutely inevitable.

"So...... The previous attacks, the ink on his hands, are all arranged by the other side - what a cunning opponent! The Grand Duke Swordsman's brows tightened, and then he let out a long sigh: "Fortunately, Dean you found out in time, otherwise, we really have a hard time arguing!" ”

"It's just that I noticed something was wrong!"

Dean shook his head slightly, and then, looking down at Miss Merry in his arms.

At this moment, in his heart, there is still a thought.

That is, is what he is experiencing in front of him true or false?

Is this Miss Merry real Miss Merry?

Or is it the disguise that the female assassin from before continued?

Using the means of 'brotherhood', playing such a noble lady who was accused of zhì is definitely handy.

In the same way, it is extremely easy to crack such a method - it only takes a sword to prove the truth or falsehood, but ......

Dean looked at Miss Merry, and finally frowned, and let out a long sigh.

"Are you worried?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman had apparently guessed the reason for Dean's sigh.

"Hmm!"

Dean nodded without concealment.

"Leave it to me! I'll have some more ways to verify if Merry is the real Merry! ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman said.

Dean glanced at the Grand Duke Swordsman in surprise, the latter, his face flushed slightly, and said with a little coquettishness: "Everyone has some secrets, and there are some secrets that are common!" ”

With that, the Grand Duke Swordsman picked up Miss Merry from Dean's arms and walked cautiously towards the bed.

"Over to you!"

When it is concerned about secrets. Dean walked out of the room consciously.

Look at the closed door. Dean stood in the courtyard and waited.

And a moment later. The exclamation of the lady Merry waking up was heard in the room, and then ...... A gasp that made Dean raise an eyebrow appeared.

Almost subconsciously, Dean shifted his steps again, a little further away from the room.

"This is the common secret?"

Dean smiled bitterly, and then, looking down at the flower garden in front of him, trying to distract himself as much as possible.

There are no precious flowers in the flower garden in front of you. Most of them are flowers that are planted by ordinary people.

It can be seen that this Miss Merry has completely inherited the simple style of the other father.

Thinking about the few simple pieces of jewelry on the dresser in the other room, Dean couldn't help but admire the character of this Miss Merry.

Then, subconsciously, Dean thought of the other party's gentle face, as well as the weak appearance of the Grand Duke's swordsmanship.

At this time, the wheezing in the room became louder and louder.

Suddenly, Dean moved his steps again.

And this time I moved, I had already come to the door of the courtyard, and in order to keep myself calm. Dean turned his back to the courtyard and looked out.

Merely. The sound still penetrated into Dean's ears as if it were pervasive.

This made Dean smile bitterly.

And just as Dean let out a wry smile—

A cold light appeared behind him, piercing Dean's vest.

That sense of crisis between life and death, in an instant, made Dean react!

However, it is too late to turn around at this time!

[Wind Thorn] stabbed backwards with the scabbard, and a layer of frost wrapped the sheath sword directly, enveloping it behind it with a piercing coldness.

Bite!

The cold light, halfway through, took a turn and landed on the frost-wrapped scabbard.

Suddenly, the cold air spread to the opponent's wrist and body with the scabbard as the medium.

Feeling the biting cold, the attacking assassin retreated.

However, Dean will not let this sudden assassin leave like this-

Sou!

Affected by the frost, the opponent's speed dropped sharply, causing the long sword in Dean's hand to catch up with the opponent in the next moment.

Bite!

Another crisp collision.

White traces of frost began to appear on the opponent's wrists.

Bite!

When the third crisp collision sound sounded, the opponent's wrist was completely covered by frost, and the short sword in his hand fell straight to the ground.

Bang!

The moment the short sword landed, the [Wind Thorn] in Dean's hand rested on the opponent's neck.

"Gardis, my lord will avenge me!"

The assassin shouted, and then slammed it directly against the blade.

Poof!

Hot blood gushed from his neck.

The Assassin slowly fell to the ground.

After a few slight twitches, there was no more sound.

"Gadis?"

Dean frowned, muttering to himself the last name the assassin had called.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the movement outside, the Grand Duke Swordsman ran out quickly—just the Grand Duke Swordsman in a coat, with a flush on his face, which became more and more conspicuous under the silver-white hair.

Moreover, a different kind of charm began to emanate from the Dagong Sword Master at this moment.

"It's supposed to be an assassin of the 'Brotherhood'!"

Dean withdrew his gaze and began to search the assassin in front of him, and then, reasoning.

"He's here for you?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman asked with a little puzzlement - the appearance of the 'Brotherhood' before was because of the employment of the Ring of Möbius, and now that the Ring of Morbius in the three southern counties is temporarily purged, the 'Brotherhood' will definitely not be so obsessed with Dean without remuneration.

"It's not me, it's someone else - I'm being scapegoated!"

Dean narrowed his eyes.

……

And somewhere on a hill far outside the city of Merry, a chuckle rang out—

"Kill me three times in a row, how can I not repay you? Lord Zelgaon, fight Hurres! I look forward to your watch! ”

A slender figure muttered to herself.

Then a gray air stream blew, and the people on the hill were gone.
