Cecilia, Alfred, and Anno all looked at Sean.

That gaze was full of trust, but it also made Sean feel extremely stressed.

The number of enemies seen so far alone is as high as thirty. Except for about ten people guarding the valley mouth, the other twenty or so people were scattered around in five patrols, two of which were six, and the remaining three were all five, led by a soldier who looked like a captain.

These soldiers are wearing leather armor and other standard equipment, these leather armor has a lot of scratches on it, obviously not new armament, the soldier who led the team is wearing a saber, his left hand is pressed against the saber, looking heroic. The others behind the soldier were armed with standard equipment such as spears, not pure metal spears, but wooden guns with an iron spear head, which could only be ordinary equipment in quality.

If Sean and the others shot with all their might, these soldiers would definitely not be able to resist even a round.

But the problem was that he didn't know what the situation was like in the valley, and he didn't know how many enemy troops there were. The only thing that is certain at the moment is that someone wants to build an advance base here in Danavi Territory, and as for what this forward base is intended to be used for, anyone with a little common sense knows it, but Sean does not plan to get involved in this dispute.

Sean pondered for a long time, then flipped out his personal attribute menu, which listed a lot of data. However, Sean didn't look at each of them, and his eyes only fell on the two most important ones: experience and proficiency.

[Experience Points: 91%]

[Proficiency Points: 6]

Experience points have been stuck at this number for a long time, and they are still a little bit away from reaching level five, when they can get their first spell mark.

For the Curse Mark Swordsman, the Spell Mark Engraving is equivalent to the Construct Warrior's Construct and the Demon Pattern of the Demon Warrior, and the increase in strength is extremely significant, but unlike the situation of the Constructed Warrior and the Demon Warrior, the Curse Mark Swordsman can only have a maximum of two Spell Mark Marks, and once it is engraved, it can no longer be changed.

So under normal circumstances, the curse mark swordsman is very cautious and careful in the selection of the spell mark.

Because it is a matter of the amount of essential power. is an option for Class Talent.

Start with a third-order class. At level 5 and level 10, you can get a choice of class talent or the ability to strengthen class talent, which is an essential power that belongs to their respective classes. And if the profession is not upgraded to level 5 or 10, then you will not be able to obtain the selection and enhancement of the class talent - the career talent obtained at level 5 must be the choice of the profession, and only the tenth level will be strengthened.

In the original game, other than the player's class talent was inherited by himself, like Alfred's inherited class talent is [Tactical Fist], and Cecilia's is [Magic Perception]. That's why Alfred can use his fists to fight and still use the skills of wrestlers, so that Cecilia can have such a keen sense of magic.

But the formation of these professional talents is not static. As you move up the ranks, you can re-select or strengthen your career talents, and only a very small number of classes cannot be selected - or not that they are not unselectable, but only one class talent is the most suitable for the development of the class.

For example, the class talent of the Curse Sigil Swordsman. [Spell Mark].

This kind of strength is the essence of the Curse Mark Swordsman, and anyone who changes to the Spell Mark Swordsman will not give up this strength, so it is inevitable to upgrade this profession to level ten. In order not to wash away the talent of [Curse Mark], the higher-level transfer will usually choose a profession with more complicated transfer requirements and will not be promoted to level 5; Or, by chance, get a job that can strengthen the power of the [Spell Mark].

If it is in the game, Sean will inevitably slowly sort out the most promising direction, and then move forward little by little. But since last night, I felt the strength of the Death Thorn. Sean doesn't have that kind of mind anymore. Because there is no so-called program in this world to restrict the development and thoughts of others, if you don't want to die in this world. Then he must continue to improve his strength, and no longer have that leisurely attitude.

What he can choose is the best fit for the situation, not the most promising.

"Assassination!" Sean whispered, his voice full of murder.

"Assassination?" Alfred looked stunned, and his expression was like to say, "Are you kidding?" ”。

Cecilia frowned in the same way, and it was clear that she didn't approve of this either, as it was somehow no different from suicide. Only Anno looked indifferent, but Sean, Cecilia, and Alfred all knew that Anno's indifferent appearance was purely because he didn't know the meaning of the word "assassination", but even if he did, he probably wouldn't care.

Because he will think...... It's a hunting activity. It's like being in an ice field, carefully approaching a target for food, and then killing it instantly.

"I still need a little blood." Sean spoke, "Cecilia, remember the demon's page I put with you?" ”

"Yes." Cecilia nodded, and opened the magic book she had been carrying, one of the pages sandwiched between a gray-black page depicting a lifelike demon.

This is a silver-scaled demon, a demon that belongs to the soldier level in the abyss purgatory plane, and is about the same level as a demon such as a two-horned demon. This demon is more human-oriented, but its skin is metallic, silvery-white, with a black-red texture on the surface and a hideous face that is indistinguishable from other demons.

The page depicting the Silverscale Demon was torn out of the Demon Book by Sean and kept in Cecilia's magic book, so that the demon would not be summoned. Previously, Sean simply wanted to use this demon as a defensive prop, but now that he is in dire need of strength, Sean also has to consider transforming it into his first spell mark.

"I'm going to turn it into a spell sigil, so blood is needed for sacrifice." Sean said in a deep voice, "I know that you may have some opinions and opinions, after all, the amount of demonic power obtained through sacrifice is not a good thing, it's just ...... We need strength now! Not to mention the future of the territory, only for now. We need to have enough strength to protect ourselves. ”

Sean, of course, couldn't tell Cecilia that he was still short of experience before he could level up. Therefore, the situation can only be described in the form of a blood sacrifice. But for the people in this world, things like blood sacrifices are naturally more evil things, not to mention that when they were in Tindesburg before, they also fought with the demonic Mario, so he also knew Cecilia and Alfred's thoughts very well, so he had to appease their emotions.

"Yes...... Become and ...... Is Count Mario like that? Cecilia looked at Sean with some concern.

"No, it won't." Sean smiled and reached out to gently stroke Cecilia's hair. "It's just that it becomes a spell mark engraving, which is to extract the essence power of the demon, not to fuse your own bloodline with it, so you can rest assured."

Cecilia bit her lip tightly and didn't speak, but the look of unease in her eyes was still palpable. It's obvious. She didn't want Sean to make such a dangerous sacrifice, but for a while she didn't know what to find to refute it, because Sean had always given her the impression of being confident and calm, but this time, she inexplicably felt a trace of urgency in Sean's body.

But she couldn't understand what Sean was nervous about.

Just as she didn't know the Dao, there was still such an unreasonable organization as Death Thorn in this world. And such a crazy organization as the Peace Assembly.

"There's only one thing I want to know." Alfred looked up at Sean. His eyes looked directly into Sean's eyes, "Why are you suddenly in such a desperate need for strength?" It's not like you...... You were only an apprentice. Dare to go to the crypt passage to find trouble with the ice spider, without even flinching in the slightest. And later, when I was in Tindesburg, Mario's changes were obviously not something we could handle, but you still didn't hesitate at all, why do you need to sacrifice to obtain this kind of strength now? ”

"Because there are too many worries and fetters now." Sean didn't hide from Alfred's gaze, "From the moment I decided to become a lord, I had more responsibilities. By choosing to follow me, you are putting your lives in my hands, and only when I become stronger, strong enough to hold up a sky for you, will we be safe, and our enemies will fear us. ”

"So, the purpose of your pursuit of strength is to protect?"

"Yes." Sean nodded, "The stronger I am, the more things I can protect." And the more things our enemies need to worry about. Just as you aspire to protect Sheena, I have a lot to guard, to protect, and of course more commitments to fulfill. ”

For example, it is possible to face threats and assassinations from various organizations on this continent, such as the blood debt owed by the Duchy of Rumbert, such as the flag that has been re-flown on the utopia......

These Sean won't say it, but he will keep it in his heart.

Therefore, the strength he pursues is not to destroy and destroy, not to destroy himself, but to protect, for those who have gathered under the same banner.

"I see." Alfred nodded, he suddenly inserted the halberd in his hand into the ground, and then knelt down on one knee towards Sean, with a solemn and holy expression, and his left hand clenched into a fist on his chest.

Swear!

This is a posture of oath of allegiance by a retainer, a kneeling posture that represents the formal acceptance of a person as his master. Sean didn't expect that a person as proud as Alfred would actually swear to himself, knowing that the current world is not the world of the game, and naturally there is no so-called binding, but there are some rules that are still common, just like in front of him, and according to the rules, as long as Sean says his oath ideal, it means that Alfred will always be loyal to him in the future.

"Hey, Chief, I don't know anything, but I'll do whatever you say." Although Anno's brain is not very good, he still knows the sense of atmosphere, and when he saw Alfred kneeling, he also knelt down, but what he said was very much in line with the characteristics of the Northland barbarians.

Sean stood silently, he turned his head to look at Cecilia, only to see that Cecilia also nodded.

So Sean no longer hesitated, he took out his long sword, gently patted Alfred and Anno on the shoulder, and said with the same serious and serious face: "At the moment of the strong enemy, do not be afraid, be bold and loyal, worthy of me, loyal and upright, rather than give in, protect the weak, and never compromise!" This is your oath! ”

With that, Sean waved his hand and slapped Alfred and Anno in the face. This is the last step of the knight's oath, which means memorizing the oath.

"My lord, I, Alfred. Vorster, I hereby swear to you that in this life I will faithfully carry out your orders, become a sharp blade in your hands, and sweep away all enemies that are not in your favor! ”

Speaking of the most reluctant, Alfred's head naturally lowered. Although Anno was still a little confused and dazed, he still understood following Alfred's movements - this was probably the first Northland barbarian in history to be knighted.

Although, Sean is not yet a lord, not even a nobleman.

"I accept your oath! From now on you will be my sword and shield, and I will regard you as my family and your protector! (To be continued.) )
