Nineteen-year-old silver is rare even in the entire Emerald Kingdom.

Aside from the world-recognized geniuses such as the Archduke of Emerald and King Setti, the nineteen-year-old silver is enough to make anyone take it seriously, because they have already shown the potential to become a gold-level person.

Ten years, twenty years......

With the abundant energy brought by the strength of the silver level, Dean has a chance to reach the gold level before the age of sixty.

And nineteen-year-old Dean has forty-one years.

Forty-one years is obviously more than enough for a genius who has reached the silver level at the age of nineteen.

Not to mention, Dean also has a top-notch talent: Giant Transformation!

The three people present figured out the key points almost instantly.

And the expressions of the three of them suddenly changed-

The Grand Duke Swordsman is more and more apologetic.

The old butler nodded with satisfaction.

The old woman's face changed, and then a smile broke out on her face.

"Okay, I'm willing to make such a promise - three days, is that enough?"

The old woman nodded, giving a time limit.

"No problem!"

Dean replied in the affirmative.

"Then, three days later, I'll wait for your reply!"

The old woman was stunned, obviously not expecting Dean not to ask for too much time, but of course, she would not mind this.

Simple verbal agreement, no contract.

However, the two people present naturally will not break the contract.

……

Dean ......

It's still the same room, but. The old butler and the old woman had left. Only Dean and the Grand Duke were left. The latter looked at Dean and stopped talking.

"Instructor, as a friend, I think it's right for me to help you if I have the ability!"

Dean said with a smile.

"It's just that you have ever thought that my aunt might make some other demands—promises that don't violate your bottom line and beliefs, but make it difficult for you to make?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman's words were filled with urgency.

"I've thought about it, but. That's based on the premise that I didn't investigate any useful clues! What if I find out? ”

Dean asked with a smile, looking confident.

"But, but ......"

The Grand Duke Swordsman wanted to refute something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything - in the face of Dean's kindness, the Grand Duke's swordsman's character couldn't say anything more.

"Do you know where the dungeon of the castle is? Let's start with the most recent, shall we? ”

Dean asked, standing up.

"Okay!"

Grand Duke Swordsman nodded.

The two of them walked towards the dungeon of the castle one after the other.

……

In another small meeting room, the old butler and the old woman, who was whispering about possible omissions in the arming and emergency measures, heard the guard's briefing to Dean and the Grand Duke's swordsmanship.

The old woman couldn't help but laugh softly.

"In fact, you can be more 'kind' in a way, and you don't need to be a bad guy like this!"

The old butler looked at the chuckling old woman and couldn't help but say.

"David, you know that I am after becoming the patriarch of the Deta family. What are the words that you experience the most? ”

The old woman looked at the old butler.

"What?"

The old butler asked curiously.

"I can't help myself - it's not that I don't want to do it. It's that I can't do it because ...... As the patriarch of the Deta family, I need to take into account the interests of the entire family! ”

The old woman restrained her smile and replied with a calm face.

"Your Highness, I often say the same...... Since you wear a crown, you can't bow your head anymore, because it will not only make people see your cowardice, but also make the crown fall to the ground - little Rose is really lucky to have an aunt like you! ”

The old butler sighed.

"No, no, I have my own agendas - what I like more than the promise of a gold-level powerhouse...... Have a gold-level powerhouse! ”

The old woman shook her head, and then chuckled.

It's just that this smile is a little cunning.

And seeing such a slightly sly smile, thinking of the previous Grand Duke's swordsmanship, the old butler couldn't help frowning, and then smiled weakly.

"Dean has a lady he likes, and I've heard they have a good relationship!"

The old butler made his final admonition.

"David, don't you think that as a man, you are the least position to say such things? Have you forgotten what it was like when you were young? It's not about liking or love, it's just a very common possessiveness - even if I don't like it, I don't want to be touched, once someone touches it...... I just want to cut off the other person's claws! ”

The old woman first glared at the old butler, and talked about it in the old butler's increasingly helpless expression.

"That, that...... What about the little rose? ”

The old butler, who was powerless to refute, could only express his worries.

"Little Rose? I'm not against a moment of child's play, because that's the best way to vent stress, but that doesn't mean she can live like this forever - don't you think Dean is a good candidate to correct her bad habits? ”

The old woman frowned and snorted softly.

"So, you've set up a game that will test Dean's abilities and bring Dean closer to Little Rose...... And, more importantly, you have nothing to lose, whether you win or lose...... Riley, should I say you've never changed? ”

The old butler sighed and shook his head.

"I haven't changed? If I had changed, would you have chosen me at the time? ”

The old woman suddenly stared at the old butler with blazing eyes.

"I, I...... The armament map here is incomplete, I'll go get it! ”

The old butler opened his mouth and made an extremely bad excuse, and the wolf bèi fled.

"I haven't changed. David, have you changed? From the beginning of the year. You've always been so cowardly......"

The old woman's voice grew lower. Eventually, it turned into a sigh.

……

In the dungeon of the castle, Dean meets the thief who delivered the letter.

And when he saw the other party for the first time, Dean knew that the other party was indeed a desperate guy, not the so-called shadow, dead man or the like - there was no composure and calmness that a shadow son or a dead man should have, and that panic was completely instinctive. Even, Dean could see the fear of death in the other person's eyes.

And this should not appear in a shadow, a dead man.

"Please, please, spare me! I really don't know anything! ”

The thief was hung from a stake, his hands hung at the top, his ankles were chained in steel, and his legs were cut backwards, bypassing a stake, but delicately, he did not let his legs make any contact with the stake.

Such a design is enough to make the opponent's body suspended. He could only rely on the arms that were also tied up to maintain the weight of his body, but he gave the other party a hint that his legs could be supported.

But. The two stainless steel chains have already been controlled.

However, the other party did not know.

Thus, in the interrogation, the cues obtained by the body, together with some illusions and drugs, allow the interrogator to obtain what he wants quickly and completely.

Dean, who had trained in the 'Brotherhood', was familiar with this interrogation process.

Dean looked at the other man's body again-

It was covered with scars: open skin and flesh, deep visible bones.

Dean could at least distinguish whipping, knife cuts, charcoal-burning, and arrow-like punctures.

Undoubtedly, with such a seemingly extremely reliable clue, Count Deta showed no mercy to the thief, and let the thief experience that life is worse than death.

And it is precisely because of this that this thief has long been on the verge of collapse, which makes Dean's questioning very smooth.

"What's your name?"

"Mike!"

"What are you for?"

"Thieves!"

"Where do you usually do you?"

"Near the Southport Pier!"

"Did you take the letter yourself, or was it assigned by the union?"

"I took it myself!"

"What does the person who gave you the letter look like?"

"Masked, cloaked, hoarse, no looks!"

"Male or female?"

"I don't know!"

"Who were around at the time?"

"I don't know!"

"What buildings are around—restaurants, taverns, or your stronghold?"

"There is a restaurant and it's close to our stronghold!"

"Where's the location?"

"It's on the second main road in the docklands!"

……

Dean and the thief asked, and answered.

Finally, after the thieves had explained all the specific locations, the interrogation ended.

"Please let me go! Leave me alone! ”

The thieves begged at the end.

"There is nothing I can do about the wrongs you have committed, but what I am doing now is good for you - three days, which is a time limit, and if I do it, you will receive some punishment at most, but you will not be hanged, but ...... If I don't do it, not only will I be unlucky, but you will also be hanged! So, man, we're grasshoppers on a rope from now on, and if you're going to survive, you'd better think, what else have you forgotten? ”

In the face of the thief's pleading, Dean did not appear cold and ruthless, but spoke in a very gentle, but helpless tone.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you - I didn't even know you before today, and I just came to Southport, but I'm in big trouble...... Think about it, have you ever seen a nobleman like me in Southport? ”

Dean added, facing the thief's hesitation.

"No, no!"

The thief shook his head.

"So, think about it, do you have any other clues?"

Dean asked.

"If I did, did you ......"

"No, no, man, you didn't understand what I meant - I can't promise you anything now, only after I really find the source of the recent incident in Nangang County, will we be able to solve our own troubles at the same time, including saving your life!"

Dean interrupted the thief who wanted to bargain and said very bluntly.

The thieves looked at Dean, who also stared at each other without dodging.

Eventually, the thief gritted his teeth—

"I just left the colony that day and headed to the restaurant, Nok, where I was asked to meet, and then I ran into that damn guy on the way!"

The thief said.

"Nock?"

Dean raised an eyebrow.

"He's also a thief, but he's not very skilled, and he's always with me - he's got a hand at finding out! I'm sure he cheated me! Bastard, if I find him, be sure to finish this guy! ”

The thief became angrier and angrier, and finally, he even shouted.

However, such a shout obviously touched his injuries and made him scream in bursts......

"Hey, man, calm down - I'll ask this Nock properly, can you provide him with a place to stay?"

Dean waved his hand and continued to ask.

"Of course!"

The thief nodded.
