The skull flew up, and blood gushed out of the neck under the squeeze of the chest.

Suddenly, in the gray haze, there was an extra piece of brightness.

Poof!

The headless corpse fell to the pitted ground, blood and dust mixed with each other, and finally became filthy, red and gray formed black, which made people frown.

Dean pulled out the two long swords that were still in his chest.

【Flash Sword】

[Type: Long Sword]

[Weight: 2.1g]

[Length: 4.5 feet in length]

[Description: This is a longsword evolved from the glittering dagger that thieves love so much, and it has also undergone a special treatment; However, in order to be more suitable for combat, both sides of the blade are specially polished; Combat skills tend to be more head-to-head. 】

[Standard: This is just a demonstration of the skill of skilled craftsmen, so it is not a magic weapon.] 】

When the finger touched the sword, the system immediately gave the relevant introduction.

Dean grasped one of them in his hand, and the other in place, and at the same time took the [Wind Spike] and rushed in the direction of the crossbowmen.

Although slightly stopped, Dean was confident that the crossbowmen would never have left so quickly.

And in fact, it is also true.

When Dean chased to the other side of the cemetery, he saw a group of no less than thirty people, each in leather armor and a crossbow, covering his face with a black scarf.

Dean approached the crossbowmen briskly. Meantime. Look around vigilantly.

He definitely doesn't forget jì. There is also an unknown enemy.

However, when Dean caught up with the crossbowmen's team, there was no trace of them.

This result made Dean frown.

Before, when he said that he was going to chase these crossbowmen, the other party even did not hesitate to send a dead soldier close to the level of the Silver Knight to stop him.

A dead soldier close to the level of a silver knight, the value of it is naturally self-evident.

But. But that's all there is to it, and there is no follow-up.

Is it because of inadequate preparation?

Or is it because of ......

Subconsciously, Dean slowed down after slashing the nearest few crossbowmen.

Then, as soon as he raised his hand, he picked up the crossbow that belonged to the opponent, and began to shoot the crossbowmen from a distance.

Whoosh ......

With each arrow, a figure in the front team will fall.

The team of thirty men, under Dean's fire, was quickly wiped out.

And at this time. In the distance, there was a strong wind that pierced the placket.

"Dean? Dean? You okay? ”

The voice of the Grand Duke Sword Master sounded.

"Instructor. I'm here - be careful, it's a little weird! ”

Dean gestured for his position and reminded the Grand Duke of Swordsmanship.

The next moment, with a gust of wind, the Grand Duke Swordsman appeared beside Dean, she glanced at the crossbowmen who were still fleeing in front of her, the long sword in her hand waved again and again, and the sword wind turned into a sharp wind blade, and shot out.

Poof, poof!

Suddenly, the crossbowmen in front of them fell to the ground one after another.

Faced with such a result, Dean casually discarded the crossbow in his hand and shrugged his shoulders.

The difference in the choice of secret techniques and secret legends doomed him to not have such the ability to strike from a long distance - although if there was a suitable secret technique, the secret transmission Dean did not mind, but it was not an easy task.

At this stage, the demand for XP value has made Dean more and more cautious about the choice of secret art and secret tradition.

A little bit here and a little bit there, it will never be possible to form a systematic secret technique and secret transmission, and it will never be able to achieve the combat effectiveness with one or two secret techniques and secret transmission as the core and others as the auxiliary.

A plate of loose sand and a fortress.

It has already been stated that a qiē.

Unless, that plate of loose sand is so big that there is no boundary.

However, this is obviously not possible for Dean.

Because, that requires XP value, it is also unthinkable.

"There's also a hidden guy!"

Dean reminded the Grand Duke of Swordsmanship, and took the lead in searching the surroundings.

The Grand Duke Swordsman searched the other side.

However, when the two met again, there was nothing.

"I'm fooled!"

Dean faced the inquiring eyes of the Grand Duke Swordsman, and after a moment of silence, he calmly admitted, he pointed to the corpses of the assassins in the distance, as well as the corpses of these crossbowmen, and said slowly: "These people should be buying time for that hidden guy to escape - he should have been nearby at that time......"

Dean said as he looked around.

Then, very quickly, he settled on a spot where he could take in everything in his eyes-

It is a hillside located on a higher hill with several burial chambers.

And around a burial chamber, Dean found a series of footprints.

Looking at the distribution of footprints, Dean's mind clearly released the appearance of a person stopping here to watch, and then quietly leaving.

"Huh!"

Dean examined it carefully, but the sudden smell made him startled.

"What's wrong, Dean?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman, who was also checking on the side, couldn't help asking.

"The smell of musk and safflower!"

Dean replied.

For Dean, the taste of these two herbs is really familiar, and the staple medicine that safflower is indispensable in the healing potion, and musk ......

It can improve physical weakness......

And just now, the other party seems to be using a secret technique similar to the [Void Sound Technique].

One message after another, a figure appeared in Dean's mind - Gadis!

"Instructor, I'll leave this to you for the time being—I need to visit the Seymour Elder!"

Some speculations suddenly sprung up in his mind, and Dean couldn't stay long. He said bluntly.

"Okay. Dean! ”

Grand Duke Swordsman nodded.

……

Dean didn't leave the Necropolis again. I hurried to find the great elder of Seymour's united family.

The news from Nord before showed that he was not popular with those family representatives, and once he appeared in the vicinity of the Seymour family, it would obviously cause unnecessary trouble.

So, Dean sends Tom to contact Nord to arrange a meeting.

So, when Dean met Nord and the elder of Seymour's united family, it was already sunset.

In a dwelling. Dean sat in front of the fireplace, looking at Nord and the elder who walked in with a thick cloak—

Nord still looks weak.

And the elder, after taking off his hood, revealed his snow-white hair and beard, and although his body looked very strong, he looked a little mentally weak.

However, when he saw Dean, the old man was shocked!

The old man didn't say anything, but stood straight. Then, with his right hand, the old man made a rather complex gesture in mid-air.

Dean waited until the other party's gesture was finished. He also raised his right hand and began to respond with another gesture.

It's like a question and answer to a riddle.

The two gestured to each other.

Finally, when Dean stopped again, the old man opposite him touched his chest with his right hand and bent down to salute—

"Young Master!"

The old man's voice trembled with excitement.

"Elder Ronk!"

Dean replied politely.

The previous series of gestures were taken from the notebook - which was a detailed record of some secrets belonging to the Zelgaon family.

Among them, there is a series of gestures that can be identified.

It's just that Dean didn't expect that the elders of the Seymour United Family would use this set of gestures.

However, with the other party's 'young master', some things became clear.

The previous generation of Zelgang had to stay away from the family.

But it was not without arrangement, even if he was forced to migrate to the Emerald Mountains, he still left some shadows in the outside world - the elder Ronk in front of him was undoubtedly one of them.

Again, this explains Elder Ronke's loyalty to the surname 'Zelgan'.

Because, the other party is also from Zelgaon!

Only such an explanation can explain what the other party has done before.

"Young Master, I have failed to live up to the expectations of the patriarch - the Seymour United Family cannot truly become a vassal of Zelgan......"

The old man said in a mournful voice.

"Seymour doesn't matter, they lack the core, they're just a mess, they don't have the slightest ability - how many loyal people do you have who are loyal to Zelgaon?"

Dean asked slowly, as he sat there.

"My team is completely loyal to Zelgaon!"

The old man said affirmatively, but the next moment, he frowned: "But even so, we don't have the slightest advantage, the Seymour United Family now has the best fleet in Nangang County, and the power has also been entrenched with so many years of operation...... Unless we leave Southport-County! ”

"If you say...... Do I have a fleet? ”

Dean looked at the old man with a smile.

"You have a fleet?"

The old man stood up with a pout.

"Ten armed merchant ships, including two Galen ships with magic cannons!"

Dean replied with a smile.

"Galen ship?! Magic cannon?! ”

The old man looked at Dean in amazement, his eyes were completely incredulous - there are nothing in ordinary armed merchant ships, but what do the two Galen ships equipped with magic cannons represent, and the old man who has been working hard to run the Seymour United Family knows what it is!

With these two Galen ships equipped with magic cannons, he could once again establish a waterway belonging to the Zelgan family in the shortest possible time!

Even with the suppression of the original Seymour United Family, it is the same!

After all, in addition to one's personal strength on the sea, the magic cannon is a qiē!

"Everything I said is true, Elder Ronk, you can always go and check that fleet—but before we can do that, we need to settle the issue about Seymour's United Family!"

Dean waved his hand, signaling the old man not to hurry.

"I want to know, in the Seymour United family, who mobilized a team of about thirty or so people in the afternoon, and has not returned yet?"

Dean asked.
