Approaching the town, the carriage, drawn by six horses, slowed down.

However, even so, the speed is still very fast, and if it weren't for the fact that the driver has quite excellent skills, I'm afraid that the car would have overturned at this time.

Sigh!

A slightly hoarse, but vaguely recognizable female voice sounded.

Then a tall figure jumped straight out of the carriage, and the two giant swords behind his back that were astonishing to ordinary people all explained the identity of this lady.

Known as the Black Rose, the Chief of the Guard of the Emerald Grand Duke: Erin. Feng!

"Lord Feng!"

Lauder and Hawke saluted together, and at the same time, their eyes looked at the carriage.

The person they greet here is not the chief guard.

With this chief of the guard also deserves the respect of the people.

"Miss Tyr!"

Another figure stepped out of the carriage, but it was still not the one the two of them greeted.

And when the third figure walked down, the long silver hair under the moonlight became more and more dazzling and charming, and the soft facial features exuded a faint luster.

"Lord Deta!"

Lauder and Hawke leaned forward and greeted respectfully.

Boom!

In a series of neat swords unsheathed, a welcoming procession of sixty guards drew their long swords, the tip of which was pointing upwards and the spine flat on the forehead.

This is the highest etiquette on the battlefield, because the armor is not able to salute the body.

It is also the greatest respect for some families who have made outstanding achievements in war, and they have the greatest respect for their guests.

The Zergaon family, naturally, is such a family.

But that's not all!

Heim takes the Zelgaon family's guards with him. There are ten people in total. Stand at the end of the greeting procession. The chill in their hands overflowed, and in an instant a path paved entirely of ice began to stretch until it stopped in front of the Grand Duke Swordsman, and then a scarlet cashmere blanket swooped down on it.

Frost represents the very roots of the Zelgaon family.

Crimson represents honor in the flames of war.

Frost Path!

The highest standard of etiquette of the Frost family.

"On behalf of my lordship, I welcome you, Lord Deta!"

Lauder and Hawke moved their steps to the left and right, respectively, and then, together, they bent down to the Grand Duke Swordsman and made a gesture of please, at the same time. Without a trace, he blocked the chief of the Grand Duke's guard and the young lady of the Baron of Tyre.

On the Frost Road in front of them, only two people can be treated with such respect and etiquette.

One of them was the Grand Duke Swordsman.

The other is the Emerald Grand Duke himself.

Except for these two, even if the young king of Emerald came, it was impossible.

This is Dean's command.

Lauder, Hawke and others naturally will not forget.

The Grand Duke's guard looked at Lauder, who was standing in front of him, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, even if she was a reckless person, she knew what to do on what occasions.

If she makes a big fuss here, I'm afraid her friendship with Dean will be ruined.

She didn't want that to happen.

And the young lady of Baron Tyre's family is even more so, although she looks at the back of her teacher with envy. But it's also envy, if she is forced to step forward?

She wouldn't dare.

It's not just because the throbbing in my heart is still there. Moreover, her father had written more than once to inform her of the change in advance.

This is inseparable from Dean.

She didn't want to break or mess up the relationship.

The Grand Duke swordsman walked on the thick cashmere blanket, and there was a crunching sound under his feet, as if it were the accompaniment of a musical instrument.

A smile appeared on the corner of the Grand Duke's swordsman's mouth, making the soft facial features more and more dazzling.

There is a joy!

More of it is moving!

The Grand Duke Swordsman knew exactly why Dean did this.

"What an unforgettable little man!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman sighed softly in his heart, and his pace quickened.

When the Grand Duke Swordsman reached the end of the road, the scarlet blanket behind him suddenly rose into the air and landed aside, while the frost on the ground flew into the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a series of muffled sounds, ice crystals fell like snowflakes.

"It's beautiful!"

The young lady of Baron Tyre's family said.

Although the chief of the Grand Duke's guard on the side tried his best to maintain his etiquette, he still couldn't help but look up.

At this time, the Zelgang family's etiquette to greet the Grand Duke of Swordsmanship was completed.

Haim motioned to Lauder and Hawke, and quickly withdrew with his own men, leaving the door of the Marquis Zelgaon's mansion open.

The door had already been opened, and the same scarlet blanket was spread from the doorway to the hall.

"Lord Deta, please!"

Lauder and Hawke bent down again to please.

"Hmm!"

Nodding with kindness on his face, the Grand Duke Swordsman walked in quickly.

……

"Humph!"

The Grand Duke's guard snorted and ate the food in front of him—a whole roasted horned sheep.

Without the slightest ladylike demeanor, the chief of the Grand Duke's guard was more courageous than the man, and he held the horned sheep in his mouth and kept biting it.

While eating, he kept saying-

"Why did that guy Dean do this to me?"

"I obviously take care of him too?"

"I gave him the wine before!"

"Treat me differently from you!"

"And that's too obvious, isn't it?"

If it's a child who doesn't grow up, the chief of the Grand Duke's guard keeps muttering.

Soon, however, the head of the guard was completely focused on the roasted horned sheep and the wine beside him.

These drinks are spirits from the north, far from being comparable to the soft, sweet-flavored fruit wines of the south.

One bite is like a knife cutting through the throat.

However, such wine was very appetizing to the chief of the Grand Duke's guard, first the cup, then the jug. Then he picked up the barrel directly. Boom, Boom.

"Give me one more ...... No. Three barrels! ”

After drinking the wine in the barrel in one gulp, the Grand Duke's guard chief who casually threw the barrel aside said to Lauder, who was standing beside him.

"Yes, Lord Feng!"

Lauder wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and his gaze at the Grand Duke's guard changed three times.

He had already heard of the head of the guard.

However, Lauder thinks it's rumor.

After all, no matter how good a lady is, she can't be as rude as the rumors say.

But. Now Lauder knows his naivety and naivety.

The chief of the guard in front of him is like a rude man, and even the rude man can't be compared.

The rumors are wrong!

Sure, yes, but it's just a glorification of the chief guard.

At least, Lauder had never seen anyone who could dry a barrel of spirits in one go, even a tiger, at most half a barrel, and then get drunk.

Like this one, not to mention one bucket in one go, he has to drink three more barrels.

Although I don't know if the Grand Duke's guard can continue to drink, but with Dean's orders. Lauder is naturally there to meet the needs of his guests.

He immediately instructed the guards outside.

"Where did Dean and Leni go? Didn't you say you'd come back? ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman looked at the returning Lauder and asked.

"Where the lord and lady have gone, it's not for me to ask. Will come back more, I don't know either! ”

Lauder smiled wryly.

Of course, this is an outright lie.

When Dean left with Lenny, he sent a message to Lauder and Hawke, informing them that they were going to the sea to see the sunrise, and that they would return in a week at most and three or five days at the least.

However, it is impossible for Lauder to tell the truth.

Even if the Grand Duke Sword Master in front of him was the one who had been received by Dean with the highest level of etiquette.

After all, this is already Dean's personal secret in Lauder's eyes.

Such a thing, he was told, fully demonstrated Dean's trust in him, treating him as his own, and how could he tell outsiders?

The Grand Duke Swordsman looked at Laude, and after a moment he sighed softly and waved his hand, signaling Laud to leave.

Lauder bowed and left the living room.

"Hey, we're here day and night, and Dean is like this to us? Don't even tell the truth? What a nuisance! ”

The Grand Duke's Chief of Guard picked up the second barrel of wine and said as he uncorked it.

It's just that the tone makes people sound like coquettish.

"Lauder is just doing his duty as a servant! We should be glad for Dean that he has a loyal and capable servant! ”

Grand Duke Swordsman said with a smile.

"I know...... But has Dean really become a 'god'? ”

The Grand Duke's guard muttered in a low voice, and then, again, asked.

This was the fifteenth time she had asked her friend after receiving the news that Dean had become a 'god' on this journey, and the young lady of Baron Tyre's family, who had been silent, also looked at the Grand Duke's swordsman, as she had done fourteen times before.

"I don't know!"

And the Grand Duke Swordsman's answer was the same as the previous fourteen.

However, just when the two of them were disappointed, the Grand Duke Swordsman did not keep silent as before, this time, she said with a slight deep groan: "When I stepped into the gold level, I thought that this would be the end point, but after experiencing the 'metamorphosis' and clarifying the 'path', I realized that this is just a starting point - once when I was looking through His Highness's notes, some doubts and puzzles suddenly became clear at this time!" ”

"The gold level is just the beginning, and there will be a higher realm and level later! Think of His Highness, Dean, and the King of Seti - they are considered to be at the gold level, but their strength has long exceeded our perception of the gold level! Even if I'm a true gold tier now, I can't compare to them! ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman's voice became extremely affirmative.

"So, can you really become a 'god'?"

The eyes of the Grand Duke of Guards lit up.

The young lady of Baron Tyre's family on the side was also excited.

"Well, it should work!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman looked at the two and nodded solemnly.

"Hahaha, it's so much fun, that's right! That's right! ”

The Grand Duke's chief of guard burst out laughing.

The young lady of Baron Tyre's family was also excited, but then her face was gloomy.

Dean has become a 'god', and she is only a great knight, this gap ......

Seeing his friend's heartless laughter, the Grand Duke Sword Master shook his head helplessly, and when he looked at his disciple, he sighed with empathy.

Alas!

With a soft sigh, a flash of moonlight suddenly fell from the sky.
