Chapter 373: Under the Shadows III.

With a low spell in Tom's hand, a bright magical aura began to appear, and then, enveloping Dean.

This irradiation lasted for about five seconds before it stopped completely.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Tom said to Dean with a hint of embarrassment: "Young master, it's not a magic mark!" It should be something else...... The teacher should be able to check in more depth, and that's all I can do! ”

"Hmmm! You've done your best! ”

Dean nodded, comforting the servant.

Thinking that he had been manipulated by the female assassin, Dean immediately asked his servants to help him check - although he knew the power of magic, he still needed a real wizard to help him if he couldn't use it.

"How?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman and Count Merry walked in.

"As I guessed - that lady chose another way to achieve her original purpose!"

Dean shrugged and leaned back in his chair.

"Is that so?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman's brows furrowed, and the expression on his face was a little unpleasant.

As a lady who yearns for freedom, the Grand Duke Swordsman hates bondage, and even more hates being 'used'.

"Don't worry, I'll be by your side and spend it together!"

I don't know what to do as a swordsman, but I can only start from the standpoint of a friend.

"Thank you for what you did - you saved Merry, you saved me...... The Zergaon family will be the strongest ally of the Merry family in the future! I swear by Merry's last name! ”

Count Merry, who was on the side, said suddenly, and a white light flashed on his body. A moment later. A ray of light separates from it. It fell on Dean.

Contract Oath!

"You don't have to do this, Count Merry, I'm just for myself and don't ......"

"It's a fact that you saved Merry! So, I'm willing to be your ally—I'm willing to help you through the current predicament, is that guy's name Hurres? I'll twist his head off for you, and the 'Brotherhood' guys! ”

Count Merry interrupted Dean and learned about the Count of Qiē from the Grand Duke's Swordsman. Grateful to Dean; In the same way, the assassins and killers of the 'Brotherhood' are extremely hated.

Therefore, when the last sentence was spoken, the count was completely murderous.

Far more terrifying than the silence that preceded it.

Before, if Count Merry, who was only angry because of the sudden assassin, could still restrain his anger, he could not suppress that anger at all when he learned the final truth.

After his daughter was kidnapped, his 'sluggishness' was enough to make the earl feel a deep sense of shame.

Even, he didn't know how he was going to face his daughter now.

After all. He had always boasted of loving his daughter, but now she had been replaced by an Assassin. He, who is a father, doesn't even know.

What a mockery.

What anger he was!

The growing anger made Count Merry look like an active volcano about to erupt, and the sound of breathing, which was only loud breathing, was like wind and thunder at this time.

Hulong, Hulong!

Under a large shadow looming, Count Merry turned to leave.

"Earl, please wait!"

Dean stopped the other.

"Rest assured, leave it to me!"

Count Merry said.

"Count Merry's strength is enough to reassure me, but...... I'm not worried about strength, but about anything else—Lord Count, are you sure you'll be able to find Huress and the rest of the Brotherhood without being caught in the air?" You must know that assassins and killers are as cunning as thieves, once they find out that something is wrong, they will definitely go far away, and then, again, look for opportunities! ”

Dean persuaded.

"Earl, calm down a little - if you can't deal with these assassins and killers once and for all, there will definitely be endless troubles, so you don't need to worry, but Merry...... You need to think about Merry! ”

The Grand Duke Sword Master also echoed and said.

Faced with a question about his daughter, Count Merry backed down.

He shook his fat figure, returned to his position, looked at Dean and the Grand Duke Swordsman, and asked with a frown, "Dean, Etrice, what should we do now?" ”

"The best way to do this is to lure these guys out - they're targeting Dean now, so we'll leave Merry County tomorrow and head to Southport, and they'll definitely pick an opportunity to do it on the way! At that time, it will be our chance to counterattack! The Grand Duke Sword Master said, "Most of the journey from Meili County to Nangang County is plain, and there are few places suitable for ambushes, so we only need to keep an eye on the remaining few places!" ”

"I'll give the order at once!"

Count Merry stood up again.

"Wait, Lord Earl!"

Dean blocked again.

"The instructor's plan, although feasible, has a big loophole - all qiē is based on the other party's appearance, and if the other party does not appear, one qiē will be useless! You must know that the reason why the other party will attack me is because the other party regards me as a competitor in the other party's power, and if such a competitor does not look like a competitor, the other party is likely to guess something! Moreover, the simplest temptation will leave us helpless - inform the instructor that you, or Count Merry, am a fake, an impostor! Then, he only needs to quietly watch our actions to be able to judge the general truth! ”

Dean explained as he looked at Earl Merry and the Grand Duke's swordsmanship.

"Although we just need to continue to be indifferent, and my crisis can be resolved, I don't think either the instructor nor the Earl will want to do that, right?"

Dean said as he looked at the two of them.

Both nodded at the same time.

In fact, he didn't want to get nothing like this.

Aside from the 'Brotherhood' code of conduct, Dean doesn't want the other party to stay in the South. More XP. It's one of Dean's greatest pursuits.

As for the Grand Duke Swordsman and the Earl Merry?

The Grand Duke Swordsman was born out of the same idea as Dean.

And so it was with Count Merry. Of course, this also includes venting anger.

"Dean, what are we going to do then?"

Count Merry asked dryly.

"We need to use the other competitor's approach to lure the other out - even if the competitor is injured and weak, but after all, she is in disguise, and she is also worried about being discovered, so. She was only able to settle for a short time, and then, on her way to the next hidden place, continued to recuperate...... Lord Earl, I need your cooperation! ”

Dean looked at Earl Merry with a smile.

"No problem!"

Count Merry nodded at once.

……

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

The deep black color completely envelops the earth.

Even the guards of the Lord of a County were a little drowsy at this time.

And just as a few guards were leaning against the sentry near the gate and closing their eyes slightly, a figure quickly climbed over the courtyard wall of Count Merry's mansion.

It's fast and the movements are light.

But. When he landed, his figure was stumbling slightly.

But. The figure did not stop in its staggering, and ran towards the street in the distance at a very fast speed.

Along the way, the figure shuttled through the shadows and darkness, revealing no figure at all.

It's no worse than the best thieves.

It's just that the speed was very fast at the beginning, but it is getting slower and slower in the future.

Although he tried his best to adjust his breathing, the rapid rise and fall of his chest made anyone who saw it understand that the figure was not supported.

Luckily, it didn't take long for the figure to reach its destination.

A small building in the lower part of the city, close to the civilian area.

The small building is two storeys high and has a courtyard enclosed by a wooden fence.

In the courtyard, there were no horse-drawn carriages parked, and there was no noble lawn, just some easy-to-grow vegetables were planted.

Without hesitation, the figure climbed into the courtyard, and then, with a rapid, rhythmic sound, banged on the door.

The door opened silently.

This is a middle-aged man who looks honest.

The years have left a thick mark on his face, and the gray hair is a sign of his premature exhaustion.

However, when this honest middle-aged man saw this figure, a compelling light bloomed from his eyes, and the next moment, he helped the figure in.

Then, as fast as a normal knight, he checked his surroundings before returning to the room.

The door closed silently.

However, in the next second, it turned on violently.

The middle-aged man stepped out again, looked around, and then returned to the room again, closing the door again.

After more than ten minutes, the door did not open.

And it was only at this time that a dark shadow came out of the shadows of the street.

The dark shadow stared at the small building.

It's as if I want to imprint it in my heart.

Then, again, it turned to the corner and quickly disappeared.

"Sure enough, in addition to the necessary manpower to carry out the task, another manpower will be assigned - the double insurance of the 'brotherhood'!"

The middle-aged man with a face full of traces of time said softly and weakly in a voice that did not match the man's voice at all.

"That's what we should be thankful for! Instructor, let's move on to the next step! It's just that the situation in front of him won't let the Huress take the bait - he should know his opponent very well, it won't be that simple! ”

Pulling off his hood, Dean smiled.

"Hmm!"

Grand Duke Swordsman removed the human skin mask from his face, and then helped Dean put on makeup.
