In Dean's line of sight, a young man was standing on the side of the ship, dressed in a sailor suit of the Zelgaon family, with an ordinary face, and when he noticed Dean's gaze, the man bowed slightly - just like the sailors of the Zelgaon family, but Dean was sure that he was definitely not a member of the Zelgaon family.

Although facing hundreds of people, Dean could not completely remember everyone's appearance.

However, he was also certain that among his family's sailors, there was absolutely no good Assassin.

That's right, it's the Assassins!

Even when the other party saluted, he maintained a kind of vigilance - it was natural, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice, but in Dean's eyes, it was all too familiar.

Dean tonguò stepped onto the boat and stood on the deck to look at each other.

Especially the palm of the other party's hand.

When he saw the calluses on the palm of the other's hand, extending to the ring finger, but the little finger was extremely smooth, Dean was even more sure of his guess.

When the Assassins chose their weapons, they mainly used crossbows and small daggers.

Unlike the hilt of a long sword, which can be controlled with both hands, this small dagger handle does not require a little finger at all when held with one hand.

Therefore, over time, calluses appear only in the tiger's mouth, index finger, middle finger and ring finger.

Dean's gaze shifted downwards to the other's wrists, waist, and boots.

At the wrist, there should be a winding sleeve arrow, which can be activated by simply hooking the little finger.

And in the waist. and boots inside. Each has a dagger hidden.

The other side is very well hidden. If it weren't for the fact that Dean was already familiar with the Assassin's Yiqiē, he would not have been able to find out.

However, when this qiē was discovered, Dean was naturally wary.

Judging from his career as an Assassin, Dean never thought it was a good thing for a strange Assassin to appear in front of him.

"Dean. Willing. Good afternoon, Lord Zelgaon! ”

The young man greeted politely.

"This is the first time we've met, right?"

Dean didn't go around the bush, but asked straight.

Meantime. There was a dangerous look in his eyes - Dean had already decided that if the other party could not give him a satisfactory difficulty, then he would take the other person down first.

Then, the other party's intention can be made clear.

For the penalty. News. Force. Dean's approach has his own.

It's enough to be called a master.

As if sensing Dean's dangerous gaze, the young man's whole body stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to pull out the dagger, but the next moment. The young man restrained his instincts.

Straightened up again, and then. Bow again.

"Yes, this is the first time we've met, but you're in my organization, and you're famous—I'm from the 'Brotherhood', and I'm part of Lord Gardis!"

The young man said.

Gadis?

Dean squinted.

Dean did not forget about the female assassin who had caused him several troubles, even though he was 'imprisoned' by only one head.

But the identity of the other party, as well as his own talent that cannot be ignored, especially the layout of the other party, make Dean remember it vividly.

"Come on, this is not the place to talk!"

Dean said, walking briskly towards the captain's quarters.

The young man followed closely behind Dean, while Tiger and Kerr remained on deck at Dean's signal, not letting anyone near the captain's room.

Captain indoors.

Dean sat down in his chair and looked at the young man standing in front of him—

"I don't have any friendship with the Brotherhood, but rather a lot of hatred......"

Dean said slowly.

"I'm from the Brotherhood, but I'm part of Lord Gardis, and this time, ...... It's also for Lord Gardis! ”

The young man explained.

Dean didn't speak, motioning for the other to continue.

"Before, there was news from the 'Brotherhood': Lord Gardis has betrayed the Brotherhood and formed an alliance with you - although we who belong to Lord Gardis's family do not believe in this matter, but the death of Lord Huress needs someone to come forward and bear it, and the missing Lord Gardis is the best scapegoat!"

The other party, who had always had a calm expression, said this, and his face fluctuated slightly.

Although it was fleeting, it was received by Dean.

However, Dean didn't say anything, just continued to listen.

"The remaining three heirs, who have worked hard to put the blame on Lord Gardis, plus the testimony of several of us...... Everything has become irretrievable, Master Gardis has become the 'culprit', and our subordinates have also become the targets of purging! ”

"What to clean up? But you appeared in front of me! ”

Dean asked with one look at the other.

"I'm the only exception—it's a favor from Lord Gardis!"

The other party replied.

"Belong to Gadis's [Nine Death Methods]?"

Dean asked, the word 'belonging' accentuated in his tone.

After careful discernment, Dean had already affirmed that there was a huge difference between Gardis's [Stand-in Nine Death Method] and the original Brotherhood's [Stand-in Nine Death Method].

Which is better and which is worse, Dean can't tell for the time being.

However, the [Nine Death Methods of Substitutes] belonging to Jiadis is definitely an extremely difficult secret technique.

If there is no way to find the weakness of the other party, you will definitely fall into an absolute disadvantage.

Again, this is one of the evidences that Dean affirms the other party's talent.

Being able to improve a secret technique in the true sense of the word is an admirable talent - at least, Dean is not as good as himself.

"Hmm!"

The young man on the other side nodded, and then he continued, "Please spare Master Gardis. I'm willing to compensate you! ”

"Spare Gadis? Compensate? ”

Dean chuckled. It seems that the other party told a funny joke.

"Lord Gardis is not dead. You're in captivity—I'm sure of that...... Although Lord Gardis may have done something that you cannot forgive, what I will say afterwards will hopefully make up for your loss! ”

The young man paused, and continued: "The Brotherhood has sent assassins again, led by a gold-level powerhouse, and three silver-level powerhouses as support, they are bound to win!" If you're willing to spare Master Gardis, I'm willing to help you. Get you through it! ”

"A gold-level powerhouse and three silver-level powerhouses?"

Dean looked at the other party and didn't say anything more, but thought quietly.

Of course, Dean will not fully believe what the person in front of him said, and no one can prove that what the other party said is not a lie, for the sake of the Brotherhood's plan for his next assassination.

Something should be true, though.

For example, Gadis's power in the 'Brotherhood' was purged.

After all, after the last confrontation with the 'Brotherhood' assassins, the misunderstanding of the other party in the moments before his death was deliberately expressed by Dean in order to cause such a situation.

'Double insurance' for 'fraternity'. Dean knew it, of course he did. Such news will be sent back to the 'Brotherhood'.

However, the appearance of the young man in front of him was unexpected by Dean.

In Dean's original vision, Gadis's power in the 'Brotherhood' was completely purged, and the other party became a real loner, and then, he slowly concocted the other party until he got the qiē he wanted, and then gave the other party a good time.

"Maybe ......"

Dean's gaze swept over the man in front of him, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart.

"Are those assassins of the 'Brotherhood' already in the capital of the King of Gosai?"

Dean asked.

"Well, it's here, and I'm ready to assassinate you in front of all eyes!"

The other party nodded and said.

"Oh? To make up for the loss of dignity in the previous failed assassination? ”

Dean laughed.

The other party did not answer, apparently acquiescing.

"So...... I think we can talk about it! What is your name? ”

Dean asked, smiling.

"Arians!"

The young man replied.

"Arion? Well, Arriande, it's not impossible to want me to let Gadis go...... All you need to do is do one thing for me! ”

Dean motioned for the other to sit down and continue the conversation.

After a full hour, Arriander stood up.

"Don't worry, Lord Zelgaon, I promise I will do it!"

Arriande said.

"I hope so—though I still can't really trust you until now, but...... I want to see your sincerity! ”

Dean leaned back, leaning his back fully in his chair.

"Of course! I won't disappoint you! ”

With that, Arriande walked out of the captain's room.

Dean's [Invisible Servant] watched as the other party left the flagship of the Zelgaon family, and blended into the military camp of the military port, during which the other party did not leave a single mark or speak to anyone.

It seems, it's really a loner.

However, even if there were other helpers, Dean didn't care.

After all, as long as the other party does what he planned, once it starts, then the rest of the things will be logical.

No one can change it!

"There are more 'fraternities', and this Gaosai founding commemorative celebration is really lively!"

Dean laughed out loud as if he had thought of something.

Outside the cabin, Tiger and Kerr heard their master's laughter, but neither could understand what Dean was laughing for.

……

The sun was setting, and when the sun was about to disappear, the carriage representing the Emerald Grand Duke and his party returned to the military port, and as soon as they approached the dock area, the Grand Duke's chief of guard ran onto the flagship of the Zelgaon family in a hurry.

"Dean, Dean!"

With a tone of great excitement, the guard shouted loudly.
