"The appearance of the Dragon's Prison was created by a Dragonborn named Joe during the Dragon War, a prison for the rival faction's Dragonborns and Dragonborns...... At first, it was just a slightly special prison, but then, with an unknown human, he suddenly found this prison, and after signing a contract with the demon dragons and evil dragons in the prison to let them become help, the dragon prison became special, and in some years, it was a taboo banned by people like the devils of hell! ”

The Grand Duchess sat in her chair and said slowly.

"That human was eventually devoured as well?"

Dean asked.

"No, but the other party is gone—not even a name has been left for the human...... Maybe there will be more records of the Mystic Law Island and the Sky City, but there are no more books in the collection of the Emerald Imperial Family. ”

The Grand Duchess shook her head, confessing that she didn't know much.

"That's ...... so"

Dean nodded slightly, but in his heart, he once again thought of the conquering king - although at the time of the Dragon War, Gosai, Jade, and Seti had not yet been established, but this did not mean that the ancestors of the Gosai Kingdom did not exist.

"Your Highness, thank you for your answer!"

Looking up, Dean thanked the Grand Duchess.

"It's just something I know!"

The Grand Duchess laughed lightly again.

"Knowledge...... It's priceless! ”

Dean's answer was a bit harsh.

"The words of the wizards...... However, there are some aspects that make sense - this is the compensation I give you! The Grand Duchess escaped with a palm-sized box that was only two inches thick. It was in Dean's hands; And then. Without waiting for Dean to answer. It was very direct, and with the same toughness as ever, he said: "Don't refuse, the value of the contract of the Demon Dragon Prison, as well as the sequelae left by the body after use, are far from being able to make up for it, but." That's all I can do right now, and the rest ...... When you come to the Emerald Capital next Midsummer, I'll surprise you! ”

"Midsummer next year?"

Dean was stunned—it had been less than a month since Hitty had launched his assault on Emerald, and, on the night of Midsummer Eve, the Grand Duchess had been assassinated like never before; Although he repelled the Assassins, he also suffered considerable damage; on this. Dean, who used to be next to the Grand Duchess, is all clear.

Even. Everyone speculated that the reason why Seti couldn't wait to launch an attack was because he wanted to take advantage of the female archduke's injuries to completely capture Jade.

Although the other party did not do it perfectly, the defeat of the female archduke in the Valley of the Falling Moon had an absolute relationship with the assassination and the injury that did not heal.

Thinking of this, Dean said word by word with an unusually serious look-

"Your Highness, next year's Midsummer Festival, I will arrive at the Emerald Capital on time!"

With that, Dean completed a knightly salute in a seated position.

This represents a knight's oath, and Dean has never broken his own knight's oath, even if he never cares about the higher true name oath.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you!"

The Grand Duchess nodded, looking at Dean with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

After all, even the Archduke of Jade never thought that Dean would agree to her invitation so solemnly—that kind of Cheng dù seemed to be beyond the ordinary scope.

Could it be that he misunderstood something?

Subconsciously, the female archduke thought like this.

After all, this is not the first time that such a situation has occurred - the Jade Grand Duke himself does not care about her appearance, but she understands how attractive her appearance is to men, especially young men.

However, when her eyes met Dean's eyes, she couldn't help but deny her thoughts.

Dean's eyes were very bright, with solemnity, determination, and even a hint of determination.

But...... But there is not the slightest love between men and women.

The kind of love that disgusted her. Desire., the Jade Grand Duke thinks he is very sensitive and will not be mistaken.

As for arranging a 'surprise' gift for her?

If Dean had been ten years younger, the Grand Duchess would have introduced the idea.

As for greed?

And now, according to Dean's words and deeds, the Grand Duchess does not think that Dean is a greedy person; After all, if you are a greedy person, you will never do the heroic act of sacrificing your life and forgetting your death.

Dean didn't see the surprise of the female archduke, at this moment, Dean, who was completely immersed in the midsummer festival in August next year, had already been filled with the whole brain with assassination and counter-assassination arrangements, he only heard the female archduke waiting for him, instinctively, Dean nodded again, and said: "Your Highness, I will come as promised!" ”

"And, keep you safe!"

Dean didn't say this, but swore in his heart.

After that, neither the Grand Duke nor Dean discussed the issue again, but chatted about some things in the upper class and the army.

And Dean's understanding of the Emerald upper class and his familiarity with the army once again surprised the Grand Duchess.

But then came more appreciation.

After all, only in this way is Dean's words of 'restoring the honor of the ancestors' not an empty word.

"I look forward to meeting you again, Ken!"

After about half an hour, the Grand Duchess stood up and said goodbye to Dean.

"Although, I still want to stay a little longer, but the old man of the Marquis Vauban is already a little impatient!"

As she spoke, the Grand Duke laughed lightly.

However, when Dean was about to stand up and send him off, he was stopped by the Grand Duchess again, and directly pressed Dean back to the bed, looking at the other party's insistence, Dean shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly.

The door closed silently.

Dean listened to the sound of the Grand Duke's footsteps in the distance, and subconsciously stroked the box—such a box was no stranger to him, and every member of the royal family in every country was an adult. are eligible to claim. and once every five years thereafter. The potion of 'Knight Baptism'.

However, it's not the same as the regular 'Knight Baptism' potion.

The 'knightly baptism' potion of the royal families is definitely different.

Compared to most 'Knight Baptism' potions with a success rate of 20% or 30%.

The 'Knight Baptism' potion with a ninety percent success rate is obviously precious, even if Dean's attributes are more than '2' at the moment, it doesn't mean that Dean doesn't need a good 'Knight Baptism' potion.

On the contrary, he needed it even more.

Because, the best 'knight's baptism' potion such as the royal level can not only greatly enhance its own five attributes. Moreover, it can also take the awakened talent to the next level.

For Dean, whose strength is still weak at the moment, it is naturally undesirable.

Even, the medicinal materials brought by Long Lang were prepared by Dean in order to prepare the potion of the 'Knight Baptism' by himself.

However, it seems that it is no longer needed.

After all, it was a better baptism potion than he had concocted himself—although his recipe came from a few great nobles, it was compared to the Emerald royal family. It's still more than a notch off.

"The baptism potion is here, so ...... next"

Dean didn't take the baptismal potion right now. Instead, he was thinking about the next step, after all, his current body was not suitable for taking baptismal potions at all.

Even the best baptismal elixir needs to be taken at the peak of the body to achieve the best results.

Click, click, click......

The sound of crisp footsteps interrupted Dean's thoughts, and the sound of footsteps in armor was too obvious to Dean.

Knock knock knock......

"Please come in!"

After a knock on the door, Dean spoke, and the Marquis de Vauban and Baron Jandu pushed the door in.

The Marquis Vauban was still dressed meticulously, but there was an unconcealable exhaustion on his smiling face, and it was obvious that the Marquis had not slept well for two days.

Behind the Marquis Vauban was the Baron of Jandu, who also followed the chivalric tradition, holding two boxes, one large and one small.

The big ones are half a man tall and square.

The small ones are elongated.

And from the sound of Baron Jandu placing it at his feet, Dean could feel the heaviness in it.

At the same time, as soon as the Baron of Jandu put down the two boxes, he began to look at Dean with burning eyes—a look that Dean was no stranger to.

In the eyes of those young people under him, he often saw.

Dean ...... Hmm, don't mind, I'll call you that, right? ”

The Marquis de Vauban sat in the position of the former Grand Duchess, and after smiling and motioning to Dean to lie still, he said.

"Of course, Lord Marquis!"

Dean nodded immediately.

"So...... Dean, will you accept my canonization? To recognise your previous bravery and exploits - even though you are only a lord, I don't think you and your family would mind having a lord's title passed down within the family, right? ”

Looking at Dean who nodded, the Marquis of Vauban immediately said with a smile.

"I'm so honored to do that!"

Dean aptly expressed his sincerity.

"This is what Dean you deserve, in fact...... If I could have more habitable territories, I wouldn't mind giving you a share! ”

The Marquis de Vauban had a little more shame on his face.

This is not a disguise, but a real shame, after all, Dean not only saved his life, but also, in a sense, saved the entire county of Vauban and obtained a knighthood and fief, which was a natural thing.

However, in the Northlands, Vauban is not easy to carve out a place to live.

It's not just trees and beasts that need to be cleared, but the migration of people alone is one of the biggest problems.

Vauban City, which has just completed the migration of the population of Jandhu County, cannot afford the second migration for the time being.

And the Marquis Vauban was not willing, bearing the infamy of a 'fool', and arbitrarily gave Dean an uncultivated place as a territory; if he did this, not only the female Grand Guild would be dissatisfied, but even his subordinates would feel ashamed; after all, in the past two days, Shiva, who was regarded as his right-hand man, had expressed his gratitude to Dean more than once, and the two great knights of Amway and West Germany were even more full of praise for Dean.

The Marquis de Vauban like an old fox naturally knew what to do.

"So, this armor and this longsword are my compensation for you, and ...... It's a contract for a shop in the lower town - I wanted to give you a potion of the Vauban family, but ...... Obviously, that's redundant! ”

The Marquis de Vauban pointed to the two boxes at his feet, one large and one small, and at the same time, took out a contract for the shop.
