Regarding raising the level of [Mountain Spirit] or learning the [Blazing Method], Dean who was sitting in the study quietly thought -

"It takes 500XP to learn Lv1 [Blazing Method], according to the description of [Blazing Method], getting started is the most difficult, therefore, the XP required will gradually decrease after that, but [Blazing Method] may only increase the talent [Flame Attachment], not absolutely; If you don't improve the talent [Flame Attachment], if you just have more 'Flame' attributes, it will be a bit more than worth the loss! ”

Dean flipped through the Blazing Law books again.

It is clearly recorded that the greatest 'flame' characteristic of the [Blazing Method].

And under such characteristics, although the [Blazing Method] improves strength and physique, the focus is still on 'flames'.

To put it simply, the core of this advanced body forging technique is 'fire', not strength and constitution.

Therefore, between being able to raise the power of the mountain spirit by one level and the [Blazing Method], Dean was a little hesitant.

After about a few minutes, Dean chose to increase the level of [Mountain Spirit].

Except for the non-indeterminacy of the [Blazing Method].

There is also the inclination of the [Mountain Spirit Power] as the main cultivation body forging technique at this moment.

[Consumes 1600XP, Strength of the Mountain Spirits Lv4→ Lv5]

[The Power of the Mountain Lv5: Forge your own body with the breath of the mountains and the earth; Effect: Constitution +2.4, Strength +1.9, Effect: Earth Support Lv5 (When standing on the earth with both feet, Health and Energy Recovery Speed +0.75/min; Gain the blessing of Constitution and Strength +1.5)]

(Note: Constitution +0.5 for the special option)

"After [Yamakuro's Power Lv4→ Lv5], the power reaches 7.61. Constitution reached 13.04 - a 0.5 increase in both stats. In addition, the level of the characteristic earth support has been increased...... Now. Each level of [Mountain Spirit] is increased by 1 point each in Strength and Physique! It is worthy of the famous [Mountain Spirit Power] in the high-level secret arts, but the XP value required for this is ......"

Dean glanced at the XP of [Mountain Spirit] Lv5 → Lv6.

2400XP！

Although it is not doubling again, it is still a phased change, so that Dean can fully predict the XP value of the subsequent level, and the slightly large value makes Dean feel a headache.

After all. [Troll Power] also needs 21800XP to be able to show its true power.

And the subsequent XP value of [Mountain Spirit] is definitely not inferior to this number.

Perhaps, the only thing that Dean is thankful for is that every change in the [Power of the Mountain] is extremely obvious, and it does not need to be like the [Power of the Troll], which can be achieved overnight.

Of course, having enough XP is still a headache for Dean.

"The hierarchy must be suppressed, or else. Once you level up, it will only make XP harder to come by - at least if you have made enough progress in [Mountain Spirit] and [Troll Power]! ”

When a large amount of XP is required. Dean became more and more clear about his original plan.

Then, glancing at the XP value that only had 60 left, Dean shrugged helplessly and picked up the teacup in front of him-

A tea with a slight addition of honey.

The bitterness in the tea has a hint of sweetness.

Without guessing, Dean was able to tell that it was Lennie's.

After all, only Leni knew that he had such a taste, and most of the rest were heavy-mouthed, at least Dean was reluctant to add a few slices of mint to the black tea or simply pour the tea leaves into a milk jug and boil them on the stove.

Perhaps, that would be something else.

However, for the most part, Dean is insensitive.

Knock, knock!

Two knocks rang out at the door.

"Come in!"

Dean, who was holding a teacup and sipping tea slightly, said straight.

"My lord, those guys are dealt with - there are two who resisted, and I cut off their heads with my own hands and hung them outside Horn Town!"

Lauder bowed in, his voice reporting clearly.

Those guys, referring to the deserters before it.

"Well, expel them from the barracks and never be hired!"

Dean nodded.

"Yes, sir!"

Lauder bowed back, turned and left the room.

And just as Lauder had left, Leni walked in with a plate full of biscuits—

"This is my freshly baked biscuit...... Much stronger than last time! ”

Leni placed the plate with the cookies in front of Dean.

Dean could tell that the cookies had been carefully selected, but even those that had been carefully selected still had a hint of charred on them.

Obviously, Miss Xavier's culinary progress is minimal.

"Leni, you don't have to do this!"

Dean pinched two biscuits and threw them into his mouth, feeling the sourness and sweetness, subconsciously picked up the teacup, took a big sip, and said with a little consideration.

"It's because of my cooking skills...... However, everyone does this, and I try hard to learn again......"

Lenny blushed and stammered.

"No, no, I didn't mention cooking, I just wanted you to help me in other places - I took you on a tour of my four towns, what do you think of them?"

Dean asked, slowing his tone.

"You want me to help you run the town after you're gone? Can't I go with you? ”

In front of Lenny, Dean never hid his idea of continuing to travel south, so as soon as Dean's words fell, Leni knew what Dean meant.

However, knowing is knowing.

However, there was still a lot of reluctance on Leni's face.

"My trip south this time is not a simple southward journey, but also has some other tasks - to be a decoy to teach the Ring of Morbius. Draw it out. Not only do these guys have considerable strength. And it's all weird. If you're by my side, I won't be able to concentrate on fighting...... And here, His Majesty the King will send someone to protect it! ”

Dean patiently explained.

When he saw the worry and gloom on Lenny's face, he couldn't help but stand up, and in the future, you hugged him into his arms and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, I took the initiative to propose such a plan, no problem!" ”

"I'll take care of your territory!"

Leni responded to Dean.

"Thank you!"

He kissed Leni on the forehead. Dean said softly.

……

In the past two days, the Emerald Capital has been full of events.

First came the disappearance of the Bora and Wolf families, then the fall of the distant relatives of the royal family, and at the same time, the Ring of Morbius was involved.

If the former can still make people talk about it, the latter is to grit their teeth.

After all, in that blood sacrifice twenty years ago, many people in the Emerald City had lost their loved ones.

There were both nobles and commoners.

Therefore, quite rare. The nobles and commoners of the Emerald City stood together and began to plead against the evil. Teach. Follower.

And the royal family of Emerald is obviously also involved in the royal family members and the Ring of Morbius. Quite angry, in the Emerald Capital, in the past two days, a team of guards, patrolling back and forth, searching.

And as time passed, the lord of Zelgaon, who had made a name for himself in the duel with the Wolf family, once again became the focus of discussion.

Because, under the leadership of this lord, it was always the evil of the Ring of Morbius at the beginning. Teach. The guards of the Emerald Capital, who returned empty-handed, began to reap, and even returned with a full load.

Look at the evil who are tied up with flowers. Teach. He was sent to the prison of the Emerald Capital.

Civilians threw rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs at the prison gates.

The aristocrats, on the other hand, thought that they were elegant and should not do such a thing, so they gave the jailers a Kimpton or two to help them vent.

And in itself it has the ability to entertain these evils. Teach. The jailer who ordered the prisoner to obey the situation naturally took advantage of the situation.

The swing of the leather whip used the strength of milk every time.

One by one, the teachings of the Ring of Morbius hidden in the Emerald City. The disciples were arrested, and every day in the main square of the Emerald Capital, there were these evil people. Teach. Public trial of apostles.

The royal advisor is in charge.

And every opening remark is-

"Thank you to our wise Lord Zelgaon, who has once again seen through the disguise of the Ring of Morbius!"

The royal advisor shouted loudly.

"Zelgaon!"

"Zelgaon!"

Some of the royal spies who had already been hiding in the crowd immediately led the way and shouted.

Then, the surrounding civilians quickly joined the ranks.

Wood. Nick glanced at the indignant civilians below, and thought silently, "This is the third day, and most of the civilians have recognized Zelgang as the biggest contributor to the Ring of Morbius...... The plan is ready to be implemented! ”

And while the royal adviser was silently pondering, some guys were gritting their teeth.

In the Emerald Capital, somewhere in the basement, several people are secretly discussing-

"Are you sure about your message?"

A cold voice sounded.

"Sure! That country nobleman will leave tomorrow morning for Southport County - he wants to return to his dilapidated ancestral home, and to move back to the cemetery of his ancestors! ”

Another voice said faintly.

"Are you sure this isn't a trap?"

Another voice rang out.

"Tomorrow another wave of our men will be arrested, and it will still be 'that' country nobleman who will lead the party - and the other party himself will leave tomorrow morning, and our men will have word that the countess of Katyushire has already departed...... I can't think of any other possibilities than to pick up the country nobleman! ”

A faint voice replied.

"The other party has silver-level strength, and the accompanying 'White Rose' cannot be underestimated, and the same is true for that countess...... We need a more elaborate plan! ”

The last voice said.

"Who says we have to make a move?"

The first gloomy voice sounded again.

Suddenly, such words attracted the attention of the other people in the basement, and several people looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Assassins of the Thieves' Guild!"

A faint voice was the first to say.

"And the mercenaries!"

"Don't forget that jì hillbilly can also [Dragon Swordsmanship], and the Gaosai royal family can also be considered!"

……

One after another 'helpers' appeared inadvertently in this way.
