"Okay!"

Dean first glanced at Miss Merry in front of him in surprise, and after looking at the other party's expectant appearance and the indicative eyes of Count Merry on the side, Dean frowned, and then nodded slightly.

"That's great!"

Miss Merry let out a low cheer.

Count Merry on the side nodded with a smile.

And the Grand Duke Swordsman frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

However, the next dinner became a little weird.

Miss Merry and Grand Duke Swordsman, who were supposed to be talking to each other, did not continue to say another word, on the contrary, Dean and Miss Merry talked frequently.

It's as if they're friends.

The dinner lasted about an hour, and although Miss Merry wanted to continue talking to Dean, it was obvious that the young lady's body could no longer support it, and after coughing irrepressibly, Count Merry immediately ended the dinner and ordered Miss Merry to be escorted back to the room.

"Thank you, Dean! It's been a long time since I've seen Merry's smile! Can you stay in Merry for a while longer, if you can? ”

After Miss Merry left, Count Merry said suddenly.

"This ...... I'm so sorry! I came to the South because I had something to do, not to play - and besides, I already had a wife! ”

Dean shook his head, and simply refused.

Moreover, he said Lenny's storage zài directly.

Dean didn't want the Earl in front of him to misunderstand anything, and he didn't want to. What happens as a result of a misunderstanding.

"This, this...... What a pity! ”

Apparently. Count Merry also knew about Lennie's deposit. Moreover, Dean naturally knew such an obvious gesture, and the fat earl shook his head regretfully, and then, with a hard pat on Dean's shoulder, turned around and left the restaurant.

"You shouldn't be so direct—either from your own point of view, or from the position of the Zelgans!"

On the way back to the room. Grand Duke Swordsman said softly.

"From my point of view, I don't want to bear more emotions in return, and I don't need to rely on marriage in the position of the Zelgaon family—this is one of the few rights I have as the current patriarch of the Zelgaon family!"

Dean said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Have you ever thought of being tactful—Merry is a good girl, and besides, it's the first time I've seen her show such an interest in the opposite sex!"

There was a hint of deep groan in the Grand Duke Swordsman's tone, but he still said it completely.

"Miss Merry? It's really a gentle lady, and. It should be kind-hearted...... Stand beside me, though. More than that, it's needed...... What a troublesome thing! ”

Dean's last words were a little vague.

"Are you feeling sorry for Lenny?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman turned his head and looked at Dean with unblinking eyes.

"Well, I owe Lenny so much!"

Dean nodded, and then, quickened his pace and walked to his room, and the moment he pushed the door open, he turned to the Grand Duke Swordsman, and waved his hand: "Good night, instructor!" ”

"Good night, Dean!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman responded.

Then, looking at Dean's closed door, the master swordsman stood silently for a moment, and finally, taking a long breath, turned and returned to his room.

……

The room has a large bed, a table and chairs.

There is no wardrobe, but a hanger next to the door and one next to the bed.

On the side of the bedside table, there are shelves for weapons and armor.

Dean's [Imitation. The armor of Xigang] [imitation. The Dragon's Head Great Sword was placed there, and the [Wind Thorn] on his waist was subconsciously placed by Dean on the side of the pillow.

Even if this is the residence of Count Merry, and the Ring of Morbius has experienced the previous war, it is impossible to make a comeback in a short time, but the habits that have long been imprinted on the soul cannot be changed.

However, this method of dealing with danger is not going to be changed by Dean.

The coat hung on the hanger at the head of the bed, and Dean, who was lined up, lay on the bed with his eyes squinted slightly.

The eyeballs that rolled through the eyelids undoubtedly showed that Dean was just pretending to sleep.

In essence, I was still thinking.

There's about the purpose of burying the knack for talent improvement, and there's also about the Seymour United Family.

Of course, it was inevitable that the armed fleet.

These are the most important things in Dean's eyes, and they are all closely related, so he has to be careful.

And just as Dean was once again sorting out the plan in his mind, there was a clear sound of footsteps, not with that sense of concealment, but straight towards his room.

Knock, knock!

The next moment, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Lord Zelgaon, are you asleep?"

There was a knock on the door followed by a burst of words.

"Miss Merry?!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Dean was extremely surprised, and he asked subconsciously.

"It's me!"

The voice outside the door answered in the affirmative.

Dean put on his coat again, and then, taking the [Wind Thorn] on the side of the pillow in his hand, he walked towards the door—there was a distance of about seven or eight feet from the bed where Dean was to the door, but in this short distance of seven or eight feet, Dean's face changed continuously.

He had a deep sense of doubt about that Miss Merry!

If the enthusiasm for him at the previous dinner can be understood as novelty and curiosity about external things, according to the description of the Grand Duke Swordsman, Miss Merry was too weak and sick to leave her room, and could only get a word she wanted to know through guò books.

So, a stranger, well-meaning person appeared.

Some novelty and curiosity of its own nature is inevitable, however. This does not mean. In the middle of the night. Come knock on his door.

After all, judging from the temperament of the other party, as well as Count Merry's own style, Dean would not believe that the other party would have such arrogance.

What's more, Dean doesn't think he has the charm to attract the other party.

First of all, he didn't have the upside-down appearance of thousands of girls - something Dean was self-aware.

Secondly, although he has the strength of the silver level. This appeals to some ladies, but definitely not Merry.

After all, the other party's father is a strong man with silver and gold.

Therefore, the scene in front of him made Dean full of doubts.

And a person like Dean, once there is doubt in his heart, he is naturally on guard.

"Miss Merry, it's so late......"

In order to dodge the attack after opening the door, Dean stood on the side of the door and opened it with his scabbard; But. When the door opened, he saw no one but Miss Merry.

"Something. I want to ask Dean about you! ”

Miss Merry, who was still wearing a simple long skirt and a cotton jacket, stood in front of the door and said a little shyly.

"What's the matter?"

Dean asked.

"Don't you want to invite me into the room?"

Miss Merry looked at Dean suddenly, with a hint of resentment in her eyes that made Dean wonder more and more - at least, Dean didn't think the other party should have that look at the moment.

"No, just because ......"

Dean subconsciously explained, but there was a hint of abnormality in his perception that made his eyes narrow.

Then, like a strong wind, the whole person swept past Miss Merry's side, and the [Wind Thorn] in his hand brought up a piece of frost in the slight vibration.

Poof!

A sharp blade pierced the flesh. With the sound of a body, in the shadow of the bushes in front of Dean's room, a figure clutched his throat and fell out.

【XP+100】

The conspicuous XP value tells the final strength of the opponent - the medium strength of the big knight.

Looking at the corpse in front of him, Dean frowned.

"What's wrong?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman pushed the door open, and when she saw Miss Merry standing at the door of Dean's room, the swordsman's face changed, but then her attention was on the corpse.

"What is this?"

Grand Duke Swordsman examined the corpse, and when items such as short swords, daggers, crossbows, and poison were found from the corpse, Grand Duke Swordsman's eyes turned to Dean.

"It's supposed to be a thief-like organization, and the Ring of Morbius would love to hire someone like that to cause me trouble! Instructor, could you please help me inform Count Merry? ”

Dean said with a deep groan.

"Of course!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman nodded without hesitation, and then walked out quickly.

When Dean and Miss Merry were left again, the young lady of the earl's house, with a somewhat pale face, walked up to Dean's side, as if she were both frightened and weak.

"It's horrible, Dean, is he a killer for you?"

Miss Merry looked apprehensive.

"Maybe it's for me, or maybe it's for someone else—Miss Assassin of the 'Brotherhood'!"

Dean turned around and said coldly.

"What? What are you talking about? ”

Miss Merry looked puzzled.

"What do I say again, you know it well, do you think that after knowing my strength, someone will send an ordinary knight to test it? Please don't continue to disguise yourself - you are good at [Shadow Calling Technique] [Substitute Nine Death Method]...... I remember this vividly! As for some of the drawbacks of the [Substitute Nine Death Method], I also know that you may appear like the real Miss Merry now, but Miss Merry is weak and sickly; And you used the after-effects of the [Nine Deaths of the Substitute] - but that's why you chose the identity of 'Miss Merry' as your disguise, didn't you? ”

Dean said as he spoke, the sword in his hand was already placed on Miss Merry's neck on the other side.
