Chapter 259: Discovery. Visitors
De Hall, the bishop of Vaubonshire, once again left Zelgaon with a lifelong injury—not only in Dean's judgment, but also in the judgment of the Grand Duke's swordsman.
In fact, in the black light realm of the Ring of Morbius before, this Lord Bishop was the one who really endured the greatest attack.
And that's the layout of Dean in itself.
If I had to say an accident, it would be the crystal of the 'Random Killer'.
Fortunately, such an accident is developing on the good side.
"De Holl will stop here!"
Looking at the carriage that disappeared at the end of the road, the Grand Duke's swordsman said with a hint of sigh.
"It's good for us, no harm!"
Faced with the sigh of the Grand Duke Swordsman, Dean told the truth - the enemy was doomed, so it must be strangled in the cradle.
Dean, who knew that De Hall would become a gold-level powerhouse in the future, had absolutely no mercy.
After all, the mercy at this time will be exchanged for countless corpses of his own side in the future.
"Dekhor is one of the powerhouses of the Divine Sect who is most likely to enter the gold level in the past twenty years...... If it weren't for this accident, he would have really stepped into that level! ”
The Grand Duke Swordsman's chief is simply evaluating by strength.
The gold level, when you know that such a zài, is basically the lifelong goal of knights, wizards, or other different zài.
"But, who is to blame for this? He's so greedy! ”
Dean said with a slight mockery.
If the other party is not so greedy, how can his arrangement work? Even, it will be cocooned and bound to itself.
on this. Grand Duke Swordsman nodded. endorsed Dean's words.
Then. The two sides talked again for a moment, and the other returned to the barracks - most of this conversation was related to Dean's own strength.
It is similar to the teacher's answer to the student's questions.
However, the Grand Duke's swordsmanship is quite serious, and some key points of the body forging secret technique are repeatedly mentioned.
Including some of the things that she didn't cultivate, but kept in mind, the same is true - although she hasn't cultivated. However, it does not mean that the Grand Duke Swordsman is not aware of some of the annotations.
You must know that not only one person cultivates these body forging secret techniques, after hundreds of years of accumulation, it is a rather large base, and many people who have achieved cultivation will always record some of their own cultivation experiences and experiences.
And Dean is even more sure that some of these experiences were learned by the Grand Duke of Swordsmanship, and he pondered repeatedly before telling him.
The self-understanding part of that kind of discourse is definitely not something that can be obtained by retelling the experience of others.
on this. Dean could only be more grateful to the other party.
After all, the other party did it for him - after entering the high silver level. The system of its own strength has already been formed, and at this time, it is no longer a large-scale absorption of the knowledge of various forces, but the continuous purification and evolution of its own existing power system, and finally entering the gold level.
Therefore, if the Grand Duke's swordsmanship is not necessary, he will definitely not waste time in secret techniques and secret legends that do not match his own power system.
"[Giant Roar Technique] [Two-handed Technique] [Breath-Holding Technique] [Concentration Technique] The key points in some places are clear, and they should be recognized by the system more quickly!"
Recalling the experience relayed in his mind by the Grand Duke Swordsman, Dean took a long breath, and then, turning around, he also walked in the direction of the barracks.
……
A week and a half later, the ruins of the original baron's mansion were completely cleared, and some of the buildings underground, under the control of Dean, were truly 'filled' by the ruins of those ruins, leaving no trace - if it weren't for the lack of burst crystals, Dean would definitely have destroyed it even more completely.
However, for now, it is enough.
At the very least, anyone who wants to go underground will have to clear the entire underground first.
And the masonry formed by the various ruins and broken walls is definitely not an easy job, not to mention, even if it is cleaned up, it is useless.
Not only the statue of Morbius, but also Dean's forged mark has long since disappeared from it completely.
The work was personally supervised by Dean, so it was very reassuring to Dean.
However, when Dean wanted to turn it into a square, he was blocked by Huck, Silen, and even Raul.
"What you did is good enough, but you don't need to actually live in the barracks - you must know that you are the lord of Zelgan in addition to the head of the knights of Fecharon!"
"As the lord of Zelgaon, you can't live without a mansion!"
"yes, that's about your reputation!"
……
The obstruction of many subordinates made Dean hesitate, and when the message of Baron Tyre and Marquis Vauban came from Tyre, and even from Vauban City, Dean completely gave up his original idea.
"Are you missing Kimpton because of the previous war? I'll lend it to you for free, and if you're short of manpower, I'll have it here! ”
These are the words of Baron Tyre.
The Marquis de Vauban was even more straightforward - a bag of about five hundred Kimptons appeared in the Zelgaon Territory.
"It's half square, half mansion - I'm alone, so I don't need that much space, and the vacant space can be used as a bazaar, where the trade takes place every two weeks, and the Tir and Jan are so close to us that they will definitely attract a lot of people! And we are all in ruins, and the necessary funds are indispensable...... It's impossible to accept relief from the Marquis every time, right? ”
Eventually, Dean gave such a tip.
In the face of such a mention, many subordinates did not say anything more, but in terms of life, they began to pay more attention to saving.
In this regard, Dean could only smile bitterly twice.
He can't say that a war is coming that will sweep the entire Emerald eradicum, right? Now spend Kimpton on what mansion to build. It's far better to build more weapons and armor.
For this. Dean for the construction of his so-called mansion. It can be described as 'excellence'.
Of the 500 Kimptons given by the Marquis of Vauban he only took out 200 Kimptons as construction costs, and the remaining 300 Kimptons were put into the barracks again.
Zelgan led the selection of soldiers and militia, just when the money was used.
In fact, if it weren't for the repeated obstruction of many subordinates, Dean would have thought that two hundred Kimptons would also be extravagant, twenty or thirty Kimptons. It is enough to build a smaller and larger building.
The carpenters from the Tyre Territory, with their own wood, began to get busy on the Zelgaon Territory - this was the preliminary work, and the real construction had to wait until the spring blossoms.
Some of the militia and civilians of the Zelgang collar greeted the carpenters.
The previous battle made the two sides very familiar, coupled with the friendly relationship between the two lords, they were more friendly and friendly.
Dean was satisfied.
After all, that's what he's always wanted.
For him, who needed soldiers, population was a big problem. Not only the Zelgaon Territory of its own and the Tyr Territory of its allies, but even the Janar Territory next to it.
If possible. Dean wants to pull him into his camp.
Of course, although the relationship with the straw bale baron has eased a bit now, it will definitely be a long process to really achieve the same as Tyrell.
Luckily, though, Jack did a very good job there.
Not only those who walked in the shadows in the Jan's territory, but even those who were beside Baron Jan, he had planted many; At the very least, if Dean wanted to, he would be able to 'go' the Jall Leader 'into' his own command in an instant.
"The population of the Jandr Territory is about the same as that of the Zelgang Territory, far less than the Tyre Territory, and the Janduling is the descendant of the Marquis of Vauban Territory, even if the relationship is good, it is impossible to achieve the same relationship with me as the Baron of Tyre...... Sure enough, 10,000 people is the number of soldiers I can control now? If we put aside women and children, and if the physique is not suitable, there are about 2,000 people available...... And this is an ideal state, and the real number should be lower, about fifteen hundred! ”
Dean closed his eyes and pondered.
However, the resulting figures made him frown slightly.
Obviously, such a number is far from the minimum requirement of 3,000 for Dean, which is half or even more.
"Population doesn't happen overnight, and even I don't have anything more to do, the time for the Blood Moon War is too short...... If the source of soldiers can't reach the best, it can only be my own strength, and I can reach the best! ”
Dean thought as he looked at his system panel.
[Lv3 with both hands: This is a way to effectively use two-handed skills to form extra strength and speed; Effect: +0.3 Strength when holding a weapon in both hands; +0.3 Agility when dual-wielding]
(Note: to reach the level cap of this skill)

[Consumes 45XP, Concentration Breath Hold Lv1→ Lv3]
[Concentration Breath Hold Lv3 (Broken): A simplified method from wizard meditation; Effect: When stationary, gain +0.3 Perception Judgment Blessing, and +0.45/min Energy Recovery Speed]
This is what Dean has gained in the past week and a half, of course, not only these, [Giant Roar Technique], [Sharp Palm Technique] [Stone Body Technique] have also begun to lose track one by one.
However, it will take some time to be recognized by the system.
"Concentration Breath Holding ......"
Dean's gaze was focused on the secret art of fusion.
The introduction in the system made him very solemn.
After all, Dean still values the power of magic. But. The last life was on the Mystic Island. But he didn't get anything, even if he did it well enough, even far beyond the others, he couldn't allow himself to build a single spell model.
Because, he can't really do the meditation that belongs to a wizard in the true sense!
"[Concentration and Breath Holding] is a method born out of wizard meditation, and I have tried many meditation methods, but none of them have any effect, and I can't get systematic recognition at all. But these secret techniques, which are born out of meditation methods, can be learned and recognized by the system...... Could it be because the previous meditation method was wrong? ”
However, the moment such a question appeared in Dean's heart, it was denied by Dean himself.
After all, he wasn't the only one who meditated, there were many apprentices around him who meditated in the same way, and they were quite successful.
It's a long time, and you can build your first spell model in half a year.
Bells, bells, bells......
Dean changed his sitting position to a more comfortable position. Half leaning in the chair, then. Gently tapping on the armrest of the chair.
The sound sounded in an extremely rhythmic way.
Then, for a moment, there was a sudden pause.
"They can, and I can't, proving that the meditation method is not wrong, and if you put aside the so-called talents, the only difference between me and them is ...... System! ”
Dean sat up, his chin propped in his hands.
His mind began to spin rapidly, because he found that he seemed to have found the key point.
"While the system has given me convenience, it has also given me certain shackles: the acquisition of XP, the storage of the upper limit of the level, and the identification of professions - especially the latter, I am recognized as a warrior, and then a knight, and I have nothing to do with wizards, so when I go to meditate, it is impossible to get any recognition, but the secret techniques born of meditation are obviously not in this category, they are skills that belong to warriors and knights, and I can learn them, and even, because there is fusion, I can reverse them to their original form: the Wizard's Meditation! ”
Such speculation, with the clarity of thought, jumped on the bottom of Dean's heart.
Then, there was a touch of joy.
For Dean, who has lived on the Mystic Island for a period of time, the power represented by wizards is naturally very clear, and if he can really get some spell use, the benefits for him are naturally self-evident.
At the very least, he will have one more means of dealing with the enemy.
However, when the euphoria faded, Dean calmed down and found that it was not an easy thing to do-
First of all, he needs to complete the most basic secret techniques that were born from wizard meditation.
Second, even if he succeeds in reversely getting him to get the wizard's meditation, he needs a suitable spell model.
Finally, and most importantly, the spell models he knew were all very low-level, and none of them had reached the inner ring level, let alone the upper ring, or the outer ring spells.
And even so, he is far beyond the average wizard.
After all, any spell model requires a huge Kimpton in exchange for it, and this is only knowledge, not all construction.
Once all the construction begins, countless materials make the wizards run around endlessly.
Because, at that time, it was not only Kimpton that was needed, but also more luck - there were many wizards who had already selected the spell model to be constructed, and had also carried out most of the construction, but because they lacked one or two structures, they could not completely form a spell, or even for life.
Such an embarrassing appearance has been seen by Dean more than once on the Mystic Island.
"This face is not even at first, just a little bit of hope!"
Recalling the unpleasant experience of life on Mycham, Dean couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Adult ......"
Ike, who had been standing for a moment, hesitated - in fact, the young captain, the pharmacist, had been standing there from the time Dean was thinking.
However, seeing Dean thinking, he didn't speak.
However, as time passed, Ike had to speak.
After all, the guests outside have waited long enough that if they wait any longer, it is likely to have some unpleasant effects on the reputation of their head of the regiment - you must know that the other party has come with considerable good intentions.
Seeing that Dean seemed to come back to his senses, Ike immediately spoke tentatively.
"What's wrong, Ike?"
Look at your own subordinates. Dean asked with a smile.
The other party's physique is very average. Even much lower than their peers. But the other party has quite a brain, and Dean originally wanted to train him to be a staff officer-like role.
However, after accidentally letting the other party prepare potions several times, the other party's strong talent showed made Dean naturally change direction.
After all, in the army, in addition to soldiers, staff officers, leaders, pharmacists can serve as military doctors. It is also quite important.
Although Ike in front of him doesn't have many potions, as time goes by, after growing up in the true sense, he will naturally become an indispensable part of Dean's troops.
So, naturally, Ike became one of the people Dean valued the most.
Although the attitude of other subordinates is not different, but the more attention he has, makes Dean willing to devote more attention to them.
A person's energy is limited.
It is impossible to be exhaustive, and if you want to train all your subordinates, it is simply an impossible task. And cultivating excellent talents has become Dean's first choice - in this regard. Dean doesn't see himself as different, even with the system.
As for fairness or not?
Dean thinks he's fair, at least he won't bury someone who shows his true talent.
"There are some guests waiting for you, my lord, and they were there an hour ago-looking at the costume, they should be mercenaries, but there is no ill intention...... I brought a lot of items and said I was going to give them to you! ”
Ike said.
"Mercenaries? Let's go, let's see! ”
Dean was stunned, then stood up.
Although he doesn't have a good impression of most of the mercenaries, when the other party shows kindness, Dean doesn't mind making a little contact with the other party.
……
Outside the barracks, more than a dozen figures were standing.
Some of them are wearing leather armor and leather jackets, while others are cotton coats, and the weapons in their hands are also strange, knives and swords are the mainstream, maces, tridents and the like, and even one is simply with a huge flail, of course, the flail is not unusual, the most surprising thing is that it is a lady who uses this flail.
Moreover, this lady is not a female barbarian who is far stronger than the Emerald Man, but a standard Emerald Man.
The only difference was that the lady was tall and slender, wearing a black suede jacket over a close-fitting leather armor.
Wrapped his entire body inside, revealing a not very beautiful, but heroic appearance.
Her fiery red eyes and long hair of the same color were the only embellishments for the woman.
"Boss, that nobleman is no different from other nobles, they are all so arrogant!"
A man in a fur hat and a cotton jacket walked up to the handsome lady and whispered.
"At least, he's strong! Moreover, the subordinates are also considered elite! ”
The lady replied, and then, looking again at a group of guards not far away, in front of the barracks—the experience of mercenaries over the years allowed her to clearly distinguish that all but the leader were recruits.
Although these recruits have tried their best to do their best, there is still a sense of awkwardness.
At least, they are not skilled in the way they hold swords and spears.
However, this does not prove that they are not good enough; On the contrary, it shows that they are excellent - because they are trying to do it.
And not loose, like a real recruit.
Being able to train recruits to such a level in a short period of time, coupled with her own strength, Nate did not think that the nobles she asked to meet were the same as the nobles she had seen.
At the very least, this nobleman helped her avenge the murder of her father.
"That's probably the biggest advantage!"
The man in the cotton jacket shrugged his shoulders, and then, as if laughing at himself, said, "But, most of the time, such an advantage is sufficient." ”
The conversation ended, and the mercenaries continued to wait.
Luckily, this time they didn't have to wait long, and there was a sound of footsteps.
"Your Excellency is waiting for you inside, come with me!"
Ike said to the mercenaries in front of him, then turned and walked towards the barracks.
"Bring the present!"
Nate commanded her subordinates, and she followed behind Ike first, the mercenaries were not dissatisfied, on the contrary, they naturally picked up the prepared gifts, followed behind their boss, and walked into the barracks together.
Nate took her subordinates and looked at the barracks in front of her as she walked.
Compared to when he was outside, he undoubtedly saw it more and more clearly at this moment.
A team of more than 100 people is fighting against each other, although it is a wooden sword and a wooden sword, but the fierce feeling makes these mercenaries gasp.
"Definitely a soldier who has fought on the battlefield!"
Feeling the breath of those soldiers, Nit was very sure.
I think of the news that the Tyr Territory, Zelgang Territory, and the Northland Knights have exterminated the Hammer of Riot, the Snowy Fox, the Black Skull, and the Scarlet Hand.
Suddenly, Nate was relieved.
However, for the people who are about to meet, there is more anticipation.
Because, according to rumors, the key point of this war is the other party!
