After Dean and Long Lang returned from surveying the silver mines, West Germany, who showed a few hands, had already convinced the blacksmiths of the entire iron ore manor, and then Yiqiē was on the right track as Dean planned - to buy some iron ore from the iron ore manor on the other side, and West Germany knew some excellent blacksmiths in Zelgaon's territory to teach the skills of smelting and forging.

Of course, this is on the bright side.

Secretly, those of Long Lang's subordinates began to mine silver ore without sleep and food, and then, refining and loading trucks, and after reaching a certain amount, Long Lang escorted them back to the vicinity of the Emerald City and converted them into real currency.

I don't need coins, not Kimpton, silver horns, or copper...... I need to exchange this qiē for something that can increase my strength, the secret art of forging the body, the secret transmission of skills, weapons and equipment, magic items, and give me everything you think is valuable! ’

Dean said this when Takuro left for the first time.

Even, Dean clearly remembered Long Lang's somewhat puzzled expression.

Dean didn't explain this, just smiled.

Some words, spoken in advance, do not make you a prophet, you will only be taken as a madman.

And whether it's the former or the latter, Dean doesn't have a cold.

Most of the time, the former is chattering and uncomfortable.

And the latter is even more unpredictable, always on guard and on guard.

Dean prefers to be planned, doing what he needs to do step by step, just like at this moment, the [Giant Roar Technique] that only assists in the secret art but takes the time of the high-level secret art. Finally got the approval of the system -

[Acquisition: Roar]

[Roar Lv1: This is a secret method simulated from the barbarians' combat methods; Effect: Consumes 1 of energy with a loud roar. Deals sonic damage equal to 5% of the caster's attack damage to all creatures within a radius of 15 yards.

"Scope attack?"

Although there has been some speculation, when the real meaning of the explanation is seen. Dean was still stunned, and then, without thinking about it, he raised the [Giant Roar Technique] to the upper level limit.

[Consumes 70XP, Roar Lv1→ Lv4]

[Roar Lv4: This is a secret method simulated from the barbarians' battle methods; Effect: Consumes 4 energy and deals sonic damage equal to 25% of their attack power to all creatures within a radius of 30 yards with a loud roar.

(Note 1: +5% Sonic Damage for Special Option)

(Note 2: Skill level limit has been reached)

"The radius of 30 yards is large enough to cause a small area of output in war, though. 25% of the sonic damage equivalent to your own attack power is still a bit low; After all, it's just an auxiliary secret art, and although the time consumed is similar to that of a high-level secret art, it is obviously impossible to reach the level of a high-level secret art! ”

Dean thought as he looked at his experience bar—

【XP：2391】

The XP value at this moment is enough to make [Body Forging (Jade, Gaosai, Xiti)] reach the highest level of Lv8, and it can also make [Sharp Palm Technique] or [Stone Body Technique] reach almost the highest level.

However, before making a choice. Dean hesitated.

Not only because there is no more XP to buy in the near future, but also to prepare for some of the secret techniques of forging and skills acquired by Long Lang in the future.

Even, some of the basic secret techniques in his mind could be sorted out. As a boost.

To put it simply: XP is still not enough.

And in this regard, even Dean has no more to do at the moment.

"I'm in the property now. [Constitution] is the highest, and if you perform multiple baptisms after that. The loss of [Physique] will be extremely large, and. In order to maintain the appearance of 'Giant Change', the level of the talent [Tough Physique] must be increased, and this is closely related to [Physique...... Therefore, [physique] will be the focus! ”

After a little thought, Dean began to distribute XP.

[Consumes 600XP, Body Forging (Siti) Lv6→Lv8]

[Body Forging (Xiti) Lv8: A kind of body forging technique in the Xiti Army, which can effectively change the physique of exercisers; Effect: Constitution +2.50]

(Note 1: Performed the +0.25 CON special option twice)

(Note 2: Skill level limit has been reached)

The consumption of 600XP directly pushed the [Body Forging Technique (Xiti)] to the highest level, and together with the second special option, it once again brought Dean a 0.75 physique increase, making Dean's physique reach 8.54 at the moment, which is only less than 1.50 short of the silver limit of 10.

However, looking at the remaining 1791XP, Dean frowned.

"Sure enough, the basic secret art is the basic secret art, the higher the level, the lower the cost performance - the intermediate secret art will have a qualitative change in the second special option, and the advanced secret art will have such a change in the first special option, but even if the auxiliary and basic secret art reaches the top, there will be no change, especially the basic secret art, after Lv6, the XP value consumed is not low, enough to make more than ten ordinary auxiliary secret arts reach the height of Lv4...... However, for me, there is no way to change it, after all, these are the only resources I have in my hands, and if I improve, it is better than not to improve! ”

Dean took a deep breath.

"What's more, I am now suppressing the rank below the knights, but I am stepping towards the silver level, which is already unique enough, much stronger than the previous life!"

The thought in his heart made Dean quickly adjust.

However, if it is not necessary for [Body Forging (Jade, Gao Sai)], Dean does not want to improve it for the time being, and the consumption of XP and the income obtained are completely disproportionate.

With the same XP, you can do a lot more.

"A constitution of 8.54, when you baptize the Great Knight, is enough to increase the [Tough Physique] by 5 levels again, Lv9...... It's enough to maintain the semblance of a 'giant change', after all. I just did the baptism of the Great Knight, not the silver! Words in terms of strength. You need to find another way, without relying on the premise of class level improvement. Just relying on Gao Sai's body forging technique, even if it increases the remaining two levels, it is only an increase of 0.2 strength, which is not enough to see at all - you must find one or several body forging secret techniques suitable for strength! ”

"Only after the strength is raised to the corresponding Cheng dù, and then the baptism of the Great Knight can be maximized, so as to maximize the benefits - after all, one more additional baptism, the decay of the physique, is definitely something to consider!"

Dean was quick to make a decision.

And then. Walked straight to the other side of the barracks.

That's where the Grand Duke swordsman is—

Knock, knock!

"Please come in!"

The soft voice of the Grand Duke Swordsman rang out, dressed in a white dress and an equally white leather jacket, sitting by the fireplace, the Grand Duke Swordsman was flipping through a book.

Dean glanced at it, it was a biographical-like book.

"The Travels of Dides...... Very nice book! ”

The Grand Duke Swordsman erected the book so that Dean could clearly see the cover, on which was written the name of the book in emerald script, but. Dean shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't like it very much.

Dean likes to read more books related to arcane arts and secret traditions.

A simple travelogue like this, Dean doesn't really like, maybe. When he's passing the time, Dean flips through it — but the real question is, does Dean have that kind of free time?

Dean shrugged his shoulders. He looked at the wall on the other side of the Grand Duke Swordsman.

There, there was a book that was more than one person tall. It's not densely packed on it, but it's definitely not scattered with dozens of books.

This was after Dean became the ultimate ruler of the Zelgan Realm. The books specially brought by the Grand Duke Sword Master were used as a necessity to pass the time.

As for cultivation?

After reaching the silver high level, normal cultivation no longer has much effect on the native people of Goddez.

They need to find their way to the Gold level.

Of course, there are also some who rely on their powerful bodies to break through to the gold level.

The two paths are not superior or inferior, but they are the same.

And Dean chose the latter in his last life, with the advantage of the system, which is the easiest way.

As for this time?

Dean didn't want to change either.

After all, the other path is unrealistic for Dean, he knows that his talent can only be regarded as average, the kind of shackles that can stuck, the kind of shackles that can stuck, Dean definitely does not want to look for abuse, especially if he has a way forward.

And the silver who chooses to find their own path, there are many ways and means, some travel throughout Goddez and feel the world, some integrate into ordinary people, and feel human feelings as commoners, and some read all kinds of works like the grand duke swordsman, and sort out the confusion in their hearts with the posture of standing on the 'shoulders of giants'.

"Some foundations, you can prepare in advance!"

The Grand Duke's swordsmanship chief with kind advice.

"That's at least after the silver, and me? Just an ordinary knight! ”

Dean smiled and pulled a chair and sat down in front of the Grand Duke Swordsman.

"What's the matter?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman unveiled the topic noncommittally and asked directly.

"Apart from [Dragon Power] [Giant's Power], what else do you know about the strength of the body forging secret technique?"

Dean asked seriously.

For Dean, who relied on agility to fight in the previous life, he was not very familiar with the strength, except for the royal secret techniques [Dragon Power] [Giant's Power] that belonged to Gao Sai and Sitty, most of them were ordinary secret arts, and the slightly higher level only knew a few, which was not complete.

Therefore, he consulted the Grand Duke Swordsman.

As for whether the Grand Duke Swordsman knows?

As the chief swordsman under the command of the Emerald Grand Duke, teaching countless talented young men and girls in the three southern counties, Dean would not doubt the qualifications of the other party.
