Colco came prepared.

In this regard, after learning the news of Kolko's 'surrender', Dean had already guessed it, and at this time, it was even more confirmed.

The other party has been lurking in Nangang for many years, and there is no doubt that he has thoroughly figured out the temperament of the Jade Grand Duke.

For a person who is willing to trade his life for the lives of his subordinates, the Jade Grand Duke will definitely have a benevolent side.

And as for the so-called 'soul contract'?

In the same way, with the temperament of the Jade Grand Duke, he would never sign such a contract.

The fair 'heart' of the Jade Grand Duke made it impossible for her to do so.

Thus, Colko almost 'did not pay the slightest price' in exchange for his freedom and the freedom of his subordinates.

If you start from the perspective of a businessman, it is simply a book of great profits.

Dean squinted slightly at Corco in front of him, and he couldn't tell from the other party's expression whether the other party meant to say it or if it was for some purpose.

The human heart is always incomprehensible!

"Your Highness, please have mercy on those who died in the previous battle!"

Countess Deta stepped out and spoke in a deep voice.

Although the chief swordsman and the chief guard of the Grand Duke on the side did not speak, their attitude was quite rare to stand with the Countess de Ta.

Although the three of them have some contradictions, such contradictions, in front of real 'outsiders', are naturally the same as the spearhead.

And Colco is this 'outsider'.

Moreover, it seems that he is still an 'outsider' with ill intentions.

In the face of the three closest subordinates, even if the Jade Grand Duke is merciful in his heart, he will not insist on going his own way.

After all. Spare a wicked person. Something that could hurt a hundred good people. The Jade Grand Duke understands this very well in his heart.

But what if it is a good person who renounces evil and turns to good?

The somewhat hesitant Jade Grand Duke looked at the silent Dean.

"What do you think, Dean?"

The Emerald Archduke asked Dean for his opinion.

"Please give me Corco! He had been in the Zelgaon family before, and I would take care of him in the future, and, in Zelgaon's name, I would not abuse, insult, or hurt the other because of their past—as long as the other person had genuine good intentions, I would give the other person a real chance, and if the other person was just a disguise. I will end each other's lives with my own hands! ”

Dean swore with a solemn countenance.

Hearing Dean's words and oaths, Countess Deta was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"It's a good way!"

The countess agreed.

"That's right!"

The Grand Duke Swordsmanship and the Chief of the Guard also nodded.

"Kolko, would you like to?"

The Emerald Grand Duke turned his head to look at the descendants of the Pirate King.

"Of course, Your Highness!"

Kolko replied in an extremely calm tone.

He seemed to be quite satisfied with the result, but Dean seemed to see a kind of unwillingness mixed with disappointment in the other party—like an unpreserved wine, sour and bitter.

"Your Highness. Soul Contract ......"

As if struggling unwillingly, Colco asked the Emerald Grand Duke.

"The soul contract is also a last resort. After all, what you have done is really to make everyone vigilant, and even hurt you! And when there is a soul contract, everything will be different - such a compromise is also necessary, and we have to think about everyone else! And...... My vows are enough to make you worry-free! ”

Without waiting for Jade to speak publicly, Dean, who already had a manuscript, spoke.

"I believe in the oath of His Excellency Zelgaon, he has already shown by his actions that he is a qualified knight and will carry out his oath meticulously!"

Countess Deta spoke again.

The same is true of the chief swordsman and the chief of the guard.

"Okay!"

Grand Duke Jade frowned and nodded slightly.

As much as she hated such unjust restraints, she also needed to take into account the feelings of other people, and the latter undoubtedly accounted for the vast majority.

"Your Highness, since it's without further ado, I want us to start now—after all, those subordinates that Kolko is worried about are still in their cells!"

Dean spoke again.

He had already decided to cut through the mess quickly and not let things change in any way.

"Well, Count Deta, please assist Dean!"

The Jade Grand Duke nodded and commanded directly.

"By your will, Your Highness!"

The countess bowed.

……

After a simple process, when the light of the soul contract flickered, Corko followed Dean as if he had accepted his fate, and walked towards the prison of Emerald Castle.

"Well done!"

The Countess of Deta, who was on the side, glanced at Corco and then at Dean before saying.

"It's not good, if it is according to my idea, the crisis should be snuffed out in the cradle!"

Dean didn't shy away from Colco behind him, and said very simply.

Suddenly, the latter's body shook, and there was a trace of fear on his seemingly calm face.

"You want to break your oath?"

As if sensing the change in Corko, the countess laughed.

"No, I will never break my oath!"

Dean shook his head and said categorically.

That kind of tone made the countess in front of him and Colco behind him extremely convinced.

Only Dean himself sneered in his heart.

"So...... You? ”

The countess asked with a slight groan.

"It is an indisputable fact that Kolco lurks in the Zelgaon family, although that was what happened before I came, but now I am the patriarch of the Zelgaon family! I am also responsible for the instability caused by him - in the same way, I am loyal and serve His Highness, and I have the obligation to help His Highness solve his problems! ”

Dean said meticulously, like a true knight.

In fact, in the eyes of the countess, Dean at this time was really a knight.

Colco, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. At least sign a soul contract with a real knight. It will give him a chance.

"The Deta family needs an heir!"

Abrupt. The countess said.

"Isn't it an instructor?"

Dean replied subconsciously.

"Etrice, of course, but ...... Etrice has some different fetishes - she doesn't want to be the heir of the Deta family, and the rest of the Deta family is not capable of becoming the heir at all! So, I want you to persuade her well, after all, you have a good relationship! ”

The Countess explained.

Still, such an explanation. There is undoubtedly a layer of deep meaning.

"Of course!"

Dean nodded.

He didn't notice the slightest hint of that meaning.

After all, he was well aware of the Grand Duke's penchant for swordsmanship, as well as the current situation of the Deta family.

Perhaps because the countess in front of her is too strong, in the next generation of the Deta family, men generally have no status, they are all people who can get by and have a lot of trouble, and women with a considerable status have done quite well in some small aspects, but in the face of big things, they seem to be not decisive enough.

Of course. And most importantly: strength!

In the Deta family, except for the countess and the grand duke swordsmanship in front of him. None of them reached the Silver level.

The best ones are all big knights who are close to silver.

However, the chances of truly reaching the Silver level are extremely slim.

Not to mention the appearance of the Dagong swordsmanship who has already found the 'way', they are fundamentally two concepts.

For the patriarch of a family, maybe strength is not the only reference, but it is definitely one of the most important reference conditions, and the clansmen of each family do not want their patriarch to be strong.

Therefore, the Grand Duke Sword Master is a very suitable heir to the Deta family.

Especially, the countess in front of her is getting older and older.

The age of more than 100 years old, although it is not the limit of the silver level, is also an age that needs to be vigilant - although the life limit of silver is about one hundred or five, but no one can really reach this limit.

The dark wounds left by fighting and cultivating are enough to shrink them.

It is not a strange thing that some silver-level powerhouses have died just over 100 years old.

"I'm glad you said yes!"

The countess looked at Dean and nodded, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face.

Then, the two of them began to speed up their pace, heading in the direction of the prison.

The Grand Duke's old butler, David, was already waiting.

"Your Highness is really ......"

The old butler glanced at Corco, who was standing behind Dean, and finally shook his head, saying nothing, just handing Dean a key.

When Dean walked to the prison with the key, the guards around him also consciously walked away, making way for Dean.

"Count Deta, can you wait a moment?"

Dean inserted the key into the lock, twisted the key, and the lock clicked open, but Dean did not push the door in, but turned to the countess and said.

"No problem!"

At this moment, the countess naturally would not refuse such a small request from Dean, and agreed very happily.

"I can't thank you enough!"

Dean turned to the countess and pushed open the door of the prison with Corko, which slowly closed.

Bang!

There was a dull thud from the closing door.

"Dean wouldn't do anything, would he? His Highness has agreed to release the remnants of the pirates, if Dean messes around...... Your Highness is there......"

The old butler looked worriedly at the closed door.

"Don't worry, Dean won't mess around! He made an oath in front of the order, and he will definitely not go back! At most—just a small deterrent to the remnants of the pirates! ”

The countess laughed lightly, and, as if she had guessed what Dean was trying to do.

And as if to confirm the countess's words, at the next moment, a strong sense of coercion came from inside the prison.

The guards guarding the surroundings trembled as if they had seen a scene of great fear.

"What nonsense!"

As she said this, the countess walked to the door of the prison with a smile, and blocked the coercion with her body.

The old butler standing aside smiled bitterly.

Because he knew very well that the reason why the countess in front of him did this was not to worry about the guards around him, but just to prevent the Jade Grand Duke from discovering it.
