Night, Horn Town.

Dean and Lenny sat opposite each other, the silver candlestick on the long table in front of them, the white tablecloth reflected in the light, and the plates of delicate dishes were cooked by the cook, who originally belonged to the second son of the Marquis of York, and then commanded by Lauder, who had changed into a butler's uniform.

"My lord, my lord, this is the main dish tonight: roast chicken with pine nuts; Grilled with pine nuts, the chicken is rubbed with honey without any greasy feeling, and the skin is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside......"

Lauder, who is temporarily acting as a housekeeper, is very dutiful in introducing the main dishes on the table.

Then, after the soup bowl was served, the whole person quickly disappeared from the table, leaving the entire dining room for Dean and Lenny.

There was no much eager conversation.

The two of them just looked at each other, and then, in a whisper, said what had happened after they had left—in fact, since yesterday, and so far, this was the true private conversation between Dean and Lennie.

Although Leni couldn't wait to ask Lauder a lot about Dean, Lauder, who joined halfway, was mostly hearsay, and there was no detail of Dean's own explanation at all.

From joining the Knights of Fecharon, to taking charge of the Knights of Fecharon, participating in the auction of the Marquis de Vauban and so on, and then until the departure to the south.

Dean spoke in detail.

Leni was half-leaning on Dean's shoulder, her hands clutching the hem of Dean's shirt tightly, and her face was nervous, and when Dean said something interesting. It turned into fingers pinching the hem of Dean's shirt. A smile appeared on his face.

Exquisite food. Not wasted.

Dean and Lennie's self-description after parting became the final meal for both parties.

And when the last bite of food on the plate was forked up with a silver fork and put into her mouth, Lenny realized that she had eaten far more than half of her usual food.

"It's broken! Broken! I'm going to get fat now! ”

Leni let out the panic that any one would have.

"Take a break, exercise after a meal, it will help with digestion!"

Dean stood up and walked gently behind Lenny. Pull Leni into her arms from behind.

"Bad guys! You promised to say ......"

Suddenly there was a trill, and Leni stopped talking.

"Say what?"

Dean, who was half-wearing Lenny's earlobe, asked playfully.

"You, you...... Well! ”

Leni, who wanted to say something, could only make a thick nasal voice, and then, Dean suddenly let go of Leni, Dean pointed outside, and then, looking at Leni apologetically, said, "Someone is coming!" ”

"Bad guys!"

Leni lightly hammered Dean's arm, and then. Ran straight upstairs.

There is both shyness and the meaning of leaving space to Dean.

As a girl from an aristocratic family. Leni has a far more understanding than an ordinary girl in some things.

At the very least, she knew exactly what she was going to do when her husband was about to meet with a guest—even if she couldn't help him with his worries, she wouldn't dwell on him and make him more upset.

"Lauder, let Long Lang in!"

Looking at Lennie's back disappearing on the second floor, Dean sat down at the table and said this.

"Yes, sir!"

Lauder, who had been blocking the others, bowed down and let him go.

Long Lang walked straight into the hall.

Because Dean became the Lord of Horn Town, the relationship between Dean and Long Lang's secret allies has become more secretive, just like Long Lang's open-minded request to see Dean at this moment, no one will speculate at all, and he will only think that Long Lang is the henchman that Dean cultivated in Horn Town.

In fact, Long Lang was already cooperating with Dean's subordinates at this time to manage four towns, including Horntown.

Of course, Takashi rejected Dean's offer of a 'name' -

'We are allies, I don't want to be your subordinate!' I'm a head short of you for no reason! ’

This was the reason for Ryulang's refusal, and Dean couldn't refute it at all.

"Dean, I want those two caravans!"

Long Lang, who walked into the hall, said straight as soon as he saw Dean.

With the relationship of alliance and cooperation between the two sides, there is indeed no need for more cover-up.

"I need secret arts, secret traditions, and in terms of strength, at least advanced! Moreover, it must be original or unique! ”

Similarly, Dean did not hide his demands.

"One month, give me a month!"

Long Lang spun around in place and gave an answer.

"A week, I'll stay here for a week, and when I leave, I hope the dust settles!"

Dean shook his head.

"You were buying secret arts and secret legends before, and now you have received great benefits, and you also want to exchange them for secret arts and secret traditions...... What exactly are you going to do? Don't tell me, you want to be a collector of secret arts, secret traditions! ”

Ryuro looked at Dean suspiciously.

Even as a black. City merchant, he couldn't understand why Dean did this.

Although the secret art and secret transmission are very valuable, the shop pù and caravan that can continuously create Kimpton are also very valuable, and even surpass the secret art and secret transmission in some ways.

After all, the latter is more sustainable than the former.

You know, secret arts, secret legends can be transcribed.

This reproducible means is enough to drastically reduce its own value, but the latter is different from the latter, which can be worth ten times as much as the former given enough time.

Therefore, Long Lang was very puzzled.

"What's wrong with a collector of secret arts, secret traditions? You know, when I was a child, I fantasized that I had a secret library of secret arts! ”

Dean said evasively.

Of course, he couldn't tell his allies about the Blood Moon War.

"For strength?"

Of course, Long Lang wouldn't believe Dean's secret arts, the secret library, and he began to speculate.

"Part of it!"

Dean nodded.

"You're silver now. Nineteen-year-old silver. Anyone will know that you are a genius! Just follow the steps. It's just around the corner that you become golden, I don't understand why you're in such a hurry-the cultivation of secret techniques and secret traditions is not the more you cultivate, the better, they all require you to cultivate with more energy and time......"

Long Lang's doubts are obvious, and at the same time, Long Lang also persuades Dean from the perspective of allies and friends.

Of course, the fundamental reason is that Long Lang did not give up on those two caravans.

"Step by step. Not what I'm after! ”

Dean smiled and looked at the chattering Long Lang and shook his head, Dean looked at Long Lang and asked Long Lang in a stern tone, "What are you after?" ”

"The world's best wealth!"

Without thinking about it, Long Lang said like this, and then, Long Lang subconsciously asked, "What about you?" ”

"Strength, the strength that can influence a war!"

Dean replied with a groan.

"With your talent, just keep growing......"

"The shortest amount of time!"

Dean interrupted Long Lang's words. Categorically.

"That's why you can't follow the rules? But that's not why you're collecting secret arts, secret legends...... Hmm, is the [Mountain Spirit] thing true? ”

Takashi said. Suddenly thinking of something, he jerked his gaze at Dean.

On the bet of Dean and the second son of the Marquess of York. About, because of the Marquis of York, bet. Although the outcome of the covenant is clear because Dean took over Horn, Horseshoe, Shield, and Facecarail, the bet. The process of the covenant is vague, some say that Dean reached the core power of the [Mountain Spirit] overnight, while others say that the [Mountain Spirit Power] was introduced overnight.

The truth is unknown because of the silence of the parties involved.

However, most people tend to favor the latter.

Even if it's Dean's ally, Long Lang.

However, with Dean's insistence, Takashi has a different view.

"Well, the matter of [Mountain Spirit Power] is true, I am very suitable for cultivating similar secret techniques and secret traditions!"

Dean nodded without hesitation.

He cultivated the [Power of the Mountain Spirit] overnight to something that could be used as a core power, which was not a secret thing, but it was just because the second son of the marquis kept it secret, so that most people didn't know about it.

Dean himself, on the other hand, doesn't mind that others know about such things.

Although there are pros and cons to such a thing, judging from the current situation, the pros outweigh the disadvantages.

After all, gaining more fame before the Blood Moon War was part of Dean's plan.

Of course, Dean doesn't blindly advertise his natural 'omnipotence'.

He knew quite well that once he really said that, what kind of trouble would it cause, not to mention the Jade Country, Gao Sai and Seti alone would definitely strangle a 'monster' like him in the cradle.

"Similar to [Mountain Spirit's Power], is the focus on the direction of physique and strength? Is it because of the giant's talent? ”

Long Lang asked subconsciously.

"I can't think of anything other than the Giant Talent!"

Dean naturally admits it, and intends to use the 'Giant Talent' as an excuse, after all, after King Setti awakened the 'Giant Talent', there were also rumors similar to 'learning it will be learned'.

Hearing Dean's words, Long Lang looked at Dean's gaze, instantly became strange, and began to mumble to himself: "King Seti second, King Seti second ......"

"What's wrong?"

Dean asked, shrugging his shoulders.

"I feel like an alliance with you is the best deal I've ever made in recent times!"

Ryuro laughed.

After that, Takashi leaves, and Dean gives reasons to convince him, he naturally will not stick to it, after all, the two sides are allies, a mutually beneficial relationship, not a tough relationship between superiors and subordinates.

What's more, in Dean's body, Long Lang sees more 'benefits'!

A man who seems to be King Setti as his ally now, such a thing, for Long Lang, is naturally something that will wake up with a smile when he sleeps.

"We need to deepen our cooperation!"

When he left Dean's residence and returned to his tavern, Takashi had such a plan in his heart.
