Chapter 169: Before the 'Baptism' Ceremony

Unlike the nobles, the ranks of the Cult behind Dean were mainly white, whether it was the carriage or the badge on the armor.

After all, white represents holiness, doesn't it?

After Dean's eyes circled around the Cult's ranks, he naturally focused on the white carriage and the two people next to it.

The tall and short figures made Dean very easily recognizable, and these two were his next opponents.

However, Dean's gaze only lingered briefly on the two opponents before he looked at the carriage beside them.

De Hoer!

There was no need to ask, Dean knew exactly who was sitting inside.

And it is precisely because of this clear knowledge that Dean is even more vigilant.

In fact, compared to those two opponents who are valued by everyone, Dean attaches more importance to this De Hoor!

Although the other party is now only the regional bishop of Vauban County, Dean is well aware that after the end of the Second Blood Moon War, the other party will become the Privy Archbishop and be in charge of the entire northern part of the Emerald...... As a Gold-level powerhouse.

At the same time, what made Dean even more cautious was that the other party's attitude towards the jade was very hostile, very thoroughly hostile!

The rebel army he once led was pursued and killed by the other party more than once.

Even, there were several chances to turn the situation around, but they were also destroyed at the hands of the other party!

"Gotta kill this guy......"

Thinking of the other party's identity and what he had done, Dean felt a strong sense of murderous intent in his heart—but. At the moment when the killing intent appeared. And he set his sights. At the moment, he should focus on the two opponents.

After all, although De Hore is not a gold-level powerhouse now, it is enough to reach the silver level, and it is only one step away from the gold level.

Coupled with the mystery of divine art, once the murderous aura is revealed, it is very easy to be locked.

And Dean understands that at this moment, he. What a miserable end it would be to be targeted by a spellcaster with a silver position, especially one who also has the status of a regional bishop.

Despite the unspeakable hatred in his heart, Dean will not be reckless.

Or rather...... The price he paid recklessly was something that Dean remembered.

He'll have a good plan.

However, compared to Dean's calmness, his opponent is full of fighting spirit-

Woo!

The Gulodar, who was stronger than the barbarians, subconsciously thought that this was a challenge from his opponent after coming into contact with Dean's cold, piercing eyes.

Immediately, he waved the war hammer in his hand without thinking about it. His eyes burned with fierce battle intent, and he was unusually scorching.

Even. Even Dean, who was looking at each other, felt such a scorching heat.

However, Dean didn't pay too much attention to the other party, and this kind of opponent who can 'see' at a glance is far less worthy of Dean's attention than the opponent next to him who has been hiding himself.

Dean was sure that the other party felt his killing intent, but he didn't show the slightest expression, neither his body nor his words showed anything - although Dean's killing intent was only because of the cover of the real target, but the killing intent was real, and under such a killing intent, not anyone could be calm.

At the very least, that Gurodar had shown some counter-action.

It's an instinct.

As for the other instinct?

Naturally, I was trembling!

And this one, whose name is Cyges, has no instincts, so there are only two possibilities-

First, the other party is sluggish and unperceivable.

Second, the other party can already restrain and control their own instincts.

The first point is that the other party can come to perform the 'knight baptism', which already means that it is impossible.

Then naturally, the second point!

A person who can restrain and control his own instincts is naturally not a problem for the control of the body, and even the way to restrain and control his instincts is to start with the body control.

Plus, the opponent's weapon is a dual sword.

Dean felt that the other party's dangerous Cheng Dù should be raised to the next level.

After all, the use of dual swords itself requires special skills, and the control of the body, whether it is for this skill or the basis for wanting to learn this skill.

All deserve Dean's vigilance.

As we all know, the more demanding the cultivation conditions, the more powerful it is.

And within the Divine Cult, the dual-wielding sword skills that have been circulated are in line with such characteristics, and they are-

Wheels, wheels......

The sound of Baron Jar's convoy moving forward in front of him sounded again, causing Dean to temporarily disengage from his memory, and he glanced at the convoy behind him again, urging his horse forward.

At the front of the convoy, of course, was Baron Zhandu, a close confidant of the Marquis de Vauban and Baron Jand, and in order to separate the two families of Defendi and Tyre, who had always been at odds, Baron Janger was naturally in the middle of the two.

Therefore, when the convoy of Dean and his party passed through the suspension bridge, the procession representing the noble lords who participated in this 'knightly baptism' was all assembled.

Arriving at the antechamber of the castle, which had been renovated and painted, the convoy stopped, and the lords and lords' representatives from all over the country, with their own bodyguards and the knights who were going to participate in the baptism, entered the hall of the castle.

Obviously, the halls of the castle have also been carefully repaired in the past few days.

At least, the few potholes in Dean's memory have been restored to their original state.

"Dean. Knight Ken, please come over here! ”

The Marquis Vauban butler, standing in the middle of the hall, called to Dean like this, and beside the butler, three young men were already standing.

Dean stepped out and walked very naturally to the three young men, bowing his head slightly in response to the three young men's not very friendly looks.

Undoubtedly, these three people are the knights who belonged to the Marquis Vauban in this 'knightly baptism' ceremony.

Without exception, they were all heroic young men, and the strong bodies that were difficult to hide in armor, as well as the firm, sharp eyes. then explained. All three have been fully trained.

If it weren't for those two knights of the Cult. These three people will obviously be the focus of attention on the audience.

And they have that qualification.

At least, in Dean's impression, even Siren, the top young man among his subordinates, was quite different from the three in front of him.

Perhaps, age, growth environment, etc., make this comparison a little unfair.

But. A gap is a gap, and Dean will never look for other excuses to shirk it.

As for the not-so-friendly eyes of the three?

Dean naturally knows it.

It is nothing more than the competitiveness and refusal to admit defeat unique to young people; If you think about it from another perspective, what was originally an opportunity that has been waiting for a long time is replaced by someone else, and Dean himself will be unhappy.

Therefore, he did not have too much hostility towards these three young people.

And in fact, it's the same -

The three young men standing next to Dean saw Dean the moment they saw it. is thinking and comparing the gap between himself and Dean.

In fact, for Dean's cousin in that attack on Fort Vaubana. They already know an approximation.

And it was precisely because they knew this that they were persuaded that Dean would deal with the two geniuses of the Cult of God who were very famous in Vauban County.

However, this does not mean that they are convinced.

It was only because of the teacher's order that they had to do this.

And after seeing Dean, they start to become skeptical.

Although they were wearing armor and looked good on the outside, they didn't have more momentum, especially the kind of coercive aura on their teacher's body, which was not at all.

Such a person can kill the Great Knight?

The three young men present expressed their deep doubts.

"The most pious servant of God, beloved by the people, the Bishop of Vauban County, Lord de Hoor, here!"

With a long sound, embellished with a series of prefixes, the Cult of God procession appeared in the premise, and then, the rhetorical Bishop de Holl walked in with the two young knights who were about to be baptized.

Under the guidance of the butler, Bishop De Hall walked to the viewing table, and the two knights of the Cult walked to the location of Dean and his party.

There was no exchange of words, but the atmosphere instantly became tense.

If the gaze of the three young knights was unfriendly when facing Dean, then when they saw the two men of the Holy See, there was only a strong hostility left.

In the face of such hostility, Sys, who was particularly concerned by Dean, did not react in the slightest, and stood there as if he were not looking, waiting for the 'baptism' to begin.

However, the other Gurodar turned his head and looked defiantly at the four knights, including Dean, who were also about to be baptized.

And the three young men on the side of the Marquis of Vauban naturally glared at him without flinching.

Only Dean, who was standing between the two sides, did not react in the slightest.

It was as if he didn't feel the flame-like battle intent on both sides of his body at all.

Step, step......

Clear footsteps sounded, and the Marquis de Vauban in full costume walked out from behind the hall, a robe woven of gold and black brocade, and several fine jade agate dotted on the edges, exuding a different kind of light as he walked.

"The county king of the great Emerald Kingdom, the most loyal servant of His Majesty the King, the most dutiful ...... of Vauban County"

In the same series of prefix rhetoric, the Marquis de Vauban sat in the center of the hall.

"Lord Marquis, I question their qualifications to become knights, I ...... Challenge them!! ”

Just as the Marquis of Vauban sat down, the Divine Cult Knight Gurodar stepped forward, and after a standard knightly salute, he said in such a loud voice.

"Lord Marquis, we also question his qualifications to become a knight!"

The three young knights of Vauban City, who had been provoked for a long time, did not wait for the Marquis of Vauban to speak, and strode out.
