Chapter 317: 'What I Wanted' I.
"You know that...... Are you sure? β
The Grand Duke Swordsman asked angrily.
Obviously, the Grand Duke's swordsman also has quite a lot of complaints about Dean's 'willful and recklessness', after all, when she stands next to Dean, it is the Royal Highness who marks her allegiance, standing behind Dean.
Domino effect.
That's pretty much the case.
"I'm sure - I appreciate what you've done for me, and of course, Your Highness!"
Dean nodded solemnly.
"I hope you really know...... His Highness was not in a good situation, when the old majesty passed away unexpectedly, His Highness had to carry the entire kingdom, but some guys always wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob - whether it was from the outside or from the inside, they were all ready to move...... Those damn guys! β
In the end, the Grand Duke Sword Master couldn't help but say in disgust.
The disgust of the Grand Duke Swordsman, who can make the outside soft and the inner strong, is enough to show how shameful those guys are.
And Dean knew this very well, and even, it was far beyond the imagination of the Grand Duke swordsman in front of him.
After all, after the outbreak of the Blood Moon War, Dean saw the ugly faces of those guys clearly, and he deeply understood them!
Without any support, the Jade Grand Duke who finally chose to die in the Falling Moon Valley had already explained a qiΔ.
"Don't worry! Those guys will get the punishment they deserve...... As for what you are worried about now, it is even more unnecessary - I have no interest in the mansion and shop of the Bora family, the Emerald Capital, and the two caravans of the three southern counties! β
Dean comforted the Grand Duke after a long sentence of swordsmanship. I brought the topic back to the matter at hand.
For those guys. Dean had already made an arrangement.
But. It's just not too late.
"Not interested? You're going to give it back to the Bora family? β
The Grand Duke Swordsman looked at Dean in surprise, and she didn't think Dean was such a 'good old man' because of the previous relationship.
"Give it back to the Bora family? Even if I burn it, I won't give it back to them - I want to exchange it for a secret technique, preferably by the one who created it, or a lone secret technique...... Of course, if you can help me contact the Merry County King in exchange for the [Brute Elephant Power]. I can compensate for everything I won this time, including those two caravans! β
Dean snorted coldly before slowly continuing.
"Including that [Flash] secret technique?"
The Grand Duke Swordsman was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked.
"Of course, though, I need to keep a copy!"
Dean nodded and said straight.
"Hmm...... I can give it a try! β
After pondering for a moment, the Grand Duke Swordsman said.
"I can't thank you enough!"
Dean immediately said with a smile.
"That's what you had in mind in the first place?"
Looking at Dean with a smile on his face, the Grand Duke Swordsman asked.
"Well, I know very well that there are people behind the Bora family, once I take over the Bora family's property in the Emerald Capital. The other party will definitely make a move in secret, especially after I show my silver-level strength. The other side will not use the power of the open face - the rules that those guys claim to be like rats in the gutter are not only dirty, but also fierce...... So, if I don't want to have more unnecessary casualties, giving up the Bora family's property in the Emerald Capital is the best choice! And it just so happens that I always love secret art and secret traditions! β
At this, Dean couldn't help but laugh.
There was sincerity in the smile, but there was also coldness, and it was more of an emotion that the Grand Duke Swordsman couldn't discern, so she didn't think that things were as simple as Dean said.
However, the Grand Duke Swordsman didn't say much.
After all, Dean had seen the form in front of her clearly, and had already accomplished her original purpose - in fact, the Grand Duke Swordsman was very worried before entering the room.
She has a good understanding of Dean's 'stubbornness'.
Luckily, Dean didn't 'harden' at this time.
"With the Bora family's current property in the Emerald Capital, it is enough to exchange for four or five high-level secret arts, but if it is the kind of unique book created by the ZΓ o or others, it will be reduced by one or two - the content itself is the same, but the difference in value still makes them very collectible, especially in the hands of some great nobles!"
Grand Duke Swordsman reminded Dean.
"I'm also very interested in their collectible value - having a library of secret arts and secret books is one of my dreams!"
Dean smiled and said lightly.
"That's not an easy dream!"
Faced with the dream she had too, the Grand Duke Sword Master couldn't help but chuckle, and then, she stood up and said, "I'll help you spread the news about this matter, but your trip to the Emerald Capital will add at least a week or so - even if those guys want to exchange it, they will definitely bargain with you!" β
"A week's time? It's April! Luckily, we had plenty of time! β
Dean sighed.
"How many times are you going to have the next 'baptism'?"
Looking at Dean, who sighed, the Grand Duke Sword Master suddenly asked.
"The ...... of the Next Baptism"
Dean groaned slightly, not answering immediately.
"You now have the strength of the silver level, and it is natural to carry out the baptism of the Great Knight - the foundation is solid, which everyone should pay attention to, but you can't just stare at the foundation, and after you have a certain foundation, the 'building' of the upper layer also needs to be considered! Especially when you have such a talent as this 'giant change', every baptism is a qualitative change for you...... Now that you have the strength of 'new' silver to 'early stage' silver, once you complete the baptism of the Great Knight level, you will at least have the strength to reach the high level of silver, and even the peak! And if you continue to continue the baptism of the silver level......"
The Grand Duke Swordsman's words were not finished, but the meaning could not be more obvious.
The baptism of the Great Knight level is the strength of the silver high level and even the peak.
So. Once baptized at the Silver level......
There is no doubt about it. Emerald will once again have an extra gold-level powerhouse!
"I have some plans. I want my foundation to be more solid! β
Dean said.
If he really had such a talent as 'Giant Transformation', Dean would naturally not mind accepting the advice of the Grand Duke's swordsmanship, but he knew his own affairs.
If there is nothing to carry out the 'Great Knight Baptism', with his current foundation, he can still barely qualify, then once the 'Silver Knight Baptism' is carried out, it will definitely be exposed.
So Dean had to make an excuse.
"Do you want to achieve the achievements of King Setti?"
The Grand Duke Swordsman had obviously misunderstood.
King Setti is a recognized genius. At the age of nineteen, after the baptism of the Grand Knight, he reached the gold level in one fell swoop.
"It was a miracle that happened by a variety of coincidences...... We, we ......"
The Grand Duke Swordsman frowned, trying to persuade Dean, but the words of persuasion were a little pale, and even, in the end, he couldn't go on.
As a swordsman who is accustomed to teaching others, such words discourage students. It was obviously the first time it came from the mouth of the Grand Duke Swordsman, so much so that she couldn't even speak.
"King Sixty. At the age of nineteen I was the Golden Knight, and at the age of nineteen I was just reaching silver - I knew the difference...... Still, I want to give it a try! I'll give you a definite answer when I return to the north...... Don't worry, I won't go my own way! β
Dean said very sincerely.
The cemetery, which houses the talent enhancement technique, is just to the south, and it is also one of the purposes of Dean's trip.
Once the cemetery is found, Dean will naturally have a decision to take - success or failure.
After all, he has another 'dependence': the system!
Although it is very refreshing to kill monsters at a low level, Dean will never ignore his own safety, and even forget his original purpose, and blindly pursue refreshment.
"I hope so!"
Looking at Dean's sincere face, the Grand Duke Swordsman sighed.
Obviously, the swordsman thought of Dean's 'stubbornness' again.
"Don't worry!"
Dean said again.
After that, Dean got up and sent the Grand Duke Swordsman out the door, who temporarily resided in the Emerald Capital to represent the Emerald Grand Duke.
Dean stood outside the house, watching the Grand Duke Swordsman board the carriage, and then, waving his arms, silently watching the carriage disappear outside the town, he turned around and looked at the carriage belonging to the Javier family.
The door of the carriage opened.
Perry. Javier and Siri. Javier stepped down first, and the latter still had a reluctant expression on his face.
And the patriarch of the Javier family, the military undersecretary of Jade, walked down last, and he looked at Dean in front of him, showing a kind smile.
"I want to meet Lenny!"
The Vice-Minister of Military Affairs said.
"Of course!"
Dean nodded, and invited the three into his house.
After entering the house, the military undersecretary walked straight to the second floor, led by Lauder.
Inside the lobby on the first floor, Dean invited Perry. Javier and Siri. As soon as Javier sat down, he leaned back in the chaise longue and closed his eyes, as if neither of them existed.
Time passed minute by minute, and the originally slightly impatient Siri. Javier was silent.
And the rather calm Perry, who has always been on the look. Javier was a little impatientβ
"Ahem, ahem, Dean ......"
"We don't know each other, please call me Lord Zelgan or Lord Zelgan!"
Coughed lightly twice, Perry. Javier spoke, but was interrupted by Dean before he could speak. Javier chuckled.
And, unusually cooperatively, he said, "Good afternoon, Lord Zelgaon! β
"Good afternoon, Lord Javier!"
Dean responded.
