In the room, Dean cut the twist of the candle slightly, and suddenly, the room showed a bright light, but definitely not a particularly bright shimmer.

After throwing a few more sticks of wood into the fireplace, Dean sat down in front of the fireplace, his eyes narrowed slightly, recalling the Frost Sword Technique he had obtained.

Start with the most basic part and work your way up to the formal part.

Word by word, every phrase flashed through Dean's mind.

And his experience of secret techniques and secret transmissions told him that there was no adulteration in them, and it was completely true.

However, the only pity is that the Frost Sword Technique is incomplete, not that it was not asked, but John. Clay only knew these - the basic and formal parts, and as for the advanced and ultimate parts, the other party did not know.

Although Dean had expected this, he was still a little disappointed.

Even putting aside the so-called identification, any secret sword art is of considerable value to Dean, and it is an instinctive desire to collect.

"In addition to Kimpton, the secret art of forging the body and the secret transmission of skills are also a very important part of each family's control of the Zì clan, but ...... Even if it's an incomplete Frost Sword Technique, it's enough for me; After all, I'm just a descendant of a broken frost noble, and it's not a strange thing that my family's inheritance is lost! ”

Dean stood up from his chair, and the Spike of the Wind appeared in his hand, shaking at a peculiar frequency.

This is the most basic, introductory part of Frost's swordplay.

It is also something that Dean has already knew, and this is one of the important bases for inference.

But. Compared to the Frost Sword Technique, which was originally just a fur. Dean who has more Frost Sword skills. It was very easy to move on to the next stage.

The speed at which the blade shook became faster and faster, and even layers of phantoms appeared.

Then, even Dean's entire body began to tremble, and when the frequency of the blade and body coincided, a chill appeared from the blade out of thin air.

Or, more accurately, to be attracted!

The tightly closed doors and windows seemed to be unable to stop the invasion of the cold at this time. Suddenly, like the most tenacious creeper, it burrowed into the room and merged into Dean's blade.

Call!

The fire, which was flourishing in the fireplace, began to shake as if it were in the unsheltered wilderness.

And when the first frost appeared on Dean's sword, the temperature in the entire room suddenly dropped by more than 10 degrees, especially the bonfire, which became weaker and weaker, as if it was about to be extinguished.

【Acquisition: Sword of Frost】

Prompts from the system. appeared in front of Dean's eyes.

Jean stopped his movements and looked at the system's skill bar.

[Frost Sword Lv1: The unique swordsmanship inheritance of the Frost Elves. The advanced part needs to rely on blood inheritance; Effect: Consumes 1-3 energy, inflicts 10-30% Cold Damage (equivalent to the caster's Attack Power) on the blade; Gain 5% Resistance against Freezing Damage]

"It's the same special skill as the [Dragon Sword Technique]? However, the amount of experience required is more than half less, and there is no such thing as a division of moves...... It should be the gap between the ranks! ”

Dean thought silently.

Then, my eyes were on the XP bar.

"It's a pity that although I have mastered most of the basic parts, I can make the [Frost Sword Technique] quickly recognized by the system, but I still need XP to improve later; But...... Isn't that where my strength lies? ”

[Consumes 280XP, Frost Sword Lv1→ Lv4]

[Frost Sword Lv4: The unique swordsmanship inheritance of the frost elf clan, the advanced part needs to rely on the bloodline inheritance; Effect: Consumes 1-6 energy, and inflicts 15%-65% of Cold Damage (equivalent to your own attack power) on the blade; Gain 8% Resistance against Freezing Damage]

(Note 1: to reach the current level cap of this skill)

(Note 2: For a special option of +5% Cold Damage)

Boom!

Dean drew the [Wind Thorn] again, this time the [Wind Thorn] was covered in frost the moment it was unsheathed, and when Dean stabbed the tip of his sword into the remnants of the campfire-

Laugh at!

There was a sound like a jet of water vapor, and I saw that the bonfire, which originally had a trace of flames, was extinguished in an instant, and a layer of white frost covered the entire bonfire that had not yet burned out.

Dean raised his sword and stroked the icy area with his hand.

Cold and hard!

It's like real ice.

"It's equivalent to 15% of my own attack power, it's normal to be able to do this, but it's a pity that I can only raise the level of [Frost Sword Technique] to Lv4, if ...... This is already the official part, if you want to advance, it is estimated that you need the bloodline inheritance of the frost elves in the true sense - I can use the [Dragon Sword Technique] because I have taken the dragon blood essence, and now there is no blood of the frost elves to help me open the next level, and even if there is, I don't have the follow-up part of the [Frost Sword Technique]! However, in this way, my identity can be guaranteed! ”

Dean sighed silently.

However, it was immediately restored to normal.

After all, his original purpose had been achieved.

Call!

A flame appeared on Dean's finger and was thrown into the fireplace by him, and immediately, the frost brought by the [Frost Sword Technique] was melted by the flames brought by the [Flame Attachment], and the [Flame Attachment] consumed 2 points of energy, which was equivalent to 20% of Dean's own attack power, and it was very easy to melt the frost equivalent to 15%.

Moreover, the flames began to burn, and the wood once again exerted light and heat.

"The Frost Nobles' initial 'ticket' has been finalized, so what needs to be considered is to blend in and get the most out of it - the Deta family and the Seymour family ......"

Dean thought about it again.

Undoubtedly, he wanted to borrow the strength of the Frost Nobles, so these two could not be ignored.

Merely. Whether it is as the county king of Nangang County. Or an alliance of many frost nobles. His presence was not indispensable.

To put it simply, it's okay to have it, and it's okay to have it without it.

It will not affect anything.

"You have to increase your influence!"

That's what Dean thought.

In the same way, such a solution has already appeared in the bottom of Dean's heart.

The Empress's Knight's Ring!

It represents the knight's ring of the thirteen knights under the command of the empress.

Each one represents honor and fame, especially for the Frost Aristocrats.

However, the Knight's Ring, which Dean knew of its whereabouts. It wasn't the Frost Queen's, otherwise the whole plan would have been much easier.

"Even if it's not the Frost Queen's, but I have another Knight's Ring, coupled with the status of the Frost Noble, this kind of influence will naturally be invisibly elevated, enough to make both sides more and more cautious in their attitudes towards me - at least, I will have some 'say'!"

Dean closed his eyes completely, and pondered the possibilities again.

After confirming that everything was correct, he opened his eyes again.

It's not just the Knight's Ring. There's also the skill of talent enhancement, and the core of the metal golem. All of them were listed as necessary goals in the plan by Dean, and then, one by one, they were perfected.

……

As the sun literally pierced through the fog and spread all over Zelgaon's collar, the men who were preparing to travel south with Dean were doing their final checks.

Horses, weapons, armor, food, water, and more.

These are all things that must be treated carefully.

And, of course, there are the insignia of nobility and the imprint that represent Dean's identity, which are essential.

Chad and Maher seemed to be the most cautious scouts, checking the entire team no less than ten times from before dawn until just now.

Because, if they don't do this, the tension and excitement in their hearts will only make them not know how to do it.

And when the two young men were about to check the eleventh time, Xiren on the side couldn't help but speak-

"Stop! If you go on like this, before you set off, you will have to drown out your tension! ”

Siren said in a highly experienced tone.

However, in fact, Siren has never traveled far at all, and the only place that can be called a long trip is to follow Dean to Vauban City.

He had absolutely no experience with such a trip across a county.

"So what do you have to do? Travel-experienced? ”

Chad asked rhetorically.

And this made Siren speechless.

Of course, the next moment, Siren pretended to be tough and said, "Take a deep breath!" Just take a deep breath! ”

However, when he saw Chad's seemingly smiling appearance, especially when the honest Maher and Ike were looking at him, Siren raised his hands and said, "Alright, alright!" I'll admit it's nonsense, and I don't know what to do! ”

Immediately, a burst of laughter rang out in the ranks.

When the laughter stopped, Ike said softly, "If you don't know what to do, just follow closely behind the adults, and the adults will show us the way!" ”

"yes!"

Siren nodded instinctively, and then, suddenly, his eyes looked at Chad, Maher, and the group of veterans, and he said, "Although it may be unnecessary to say this, I still want to say - the safety of the adults is up to you, and the honor of guarding the Zelgang Territory!" ”

"Of course!"

Chad and Maher glanced at each other, and with a group of veterans behind them, they hammered their chests in unison.

This is part of chivalric etiquette and represents keeping promises.

And in the distance, Dean and the Grand Duke's swordsmanship chief had already approached.

Siren glanced at it, and then, turning around, said in a very fast voice-

"I'll wait for you to come back!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and raised it after a while.

Despite the disguise, the eye sockets were still red.

"Hmm!"

Chad, Maher, and the veterans nodded in the same way, with a hint of moisture in the corners of their eyes.

It seems that only at this time can their true age be revealed.

Dean deliberately stayed in place for a moment, and waited for the special atmosphere here to dissipate slightly, and then he walked over, dressed in knight's civilian clothes, jumped on his warhorse, and shouted, "Go!" ”

Suddenly, the team rushed out of Zelgan's collar.

The horses neighed, and the knights shouted.

And Dean's shout was the loudest in the group, he straightened his body, and the whole person looked ahead, his eyes passed through the mountains, lakes, and cities......

It's as if to announce to the whole of Emerald and Godez!

Announcing that he is about to appear on the stage of the whole world!
