Chapter 124 Auction. Prelude Part 1

When Dunn returned to his room, it was already a moment before dawn—although it was the northernmost part of the Emerald Kingdom, close to the snowfield jungle, this was Vauban City in Vauban County after all, not Tilling. In the town of Seoul, Dean still had some difficulties in hiding a corpse and ensuring that it would not be discovered. 【First release】

Especially considering the 'freshness' needed for the experiment, Dean had to collect enough ice and snow.

In fact, it was because of the latter that Dean took an hour longer than planned.

For this reason, Dean had to lament the Marquis of Vauban's governance of Vauban City. Even in the lower city, it is difficult to have streets covered with snow.

Of course, the roof is not among them.

Even in the Emerald City, once it snows, the roof is difficult to clean. Most people will wait until the beginning of spring to let the ice and snow melt on their own. Only when there is a heavy snowstorm that may collapse the roof, People will take the initiative to clean up; Vauban City is no exception.

The cloak was taken off again, and after confirming that there was no blood or bloody smell on it, Dean carefully put it away.

After all, he still needed this cloak to hide himself while he was in Vauban.

Then there were hand crossbows, throwing knives, poison bottles, etc. All items that did not match the identity of the leader of the Fei Chalun Knights were all removed by Dean one by one and placed in a secret place.

The dress belonging to the Central Knights was worn by Dean, and the knight's long sword was also hung on his waist. After carefully confirming that he did not miss it, Dean walked out of the room.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

The young men of the Feichalun Knights and Dean's deputy greeted Dean.

"Huck, morning training is up to you... we don't have anything to do before noon, so after morning training, breakfast, you have about three hours of free time, and after lunch, we need to do As the bodyguard of Miss Lily Till, I entered the castle of the Marquis of Vauban; therefore, before lunch, all must return to the team, understand?"

Ye Qi stood in front of a group of young people, speaking loudly as usual.

"Yes, Captain!"

The young people answered loudly as always.

Then, after Dean winked at Huck, the latter immediately started the morning training—the same as in the Fitzgerald Knights, just the simplest running and confrontation exercises.

However, such ordinaryness is not ordinary in the city of Vauban, or in this residence.

Because, whether it is Defendiling or Zhanerling, they are still asleep.

Similarly, the soldiers of Vauban City who were in charge of guarding here looked at these young people who got up early for training, and they also stared sideways-comparison, anything, once there is a comparison, then there will be various mentalities.

For example: admiration, or...disdain!

In the sound of the training chants, those who were sleeping soundly were naturally awakened.

Dean clearly felt the admiration of the soldiers in Vauban City, and the disdain of those guys who were born as mercenaries led by De Fendi.

As for Zhan Erling?

As if they were straw barons, these soldiers turned a blind eye to these things.

They just need to eat and drink enough.

As for training?

Once a week, it seems to be enough.

Dean naturally didn't pay much attention to such Zhanerling soldiers, and swept towards those Defendiling guys without a trace, smiling coldly in his heart.

He was very much looking forward to what kind of expressions these guys would have when they found out that Chuld Defendi had 'disappeared'.

Of course, what he needs to know more is who is behind the owner of that house.

Fortunately, whether it was the former or the latter, Dean knew he would find out soon.

After all, today is the day when the private auction of the Marquis of Vauban begins.

The auction starts after lunch, around three in the afternoon, and ends before dinner; as for the number of days, it lasts for two to three afternoons depending on the number of auction items.

As an invitee and a subordinate of the Marquis of Vauban, if something happens at this time, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Therefore, Dean doesn't need to inquire at all, he just needs to stay here, and those who go out will bring him enough and detailed news.

Of course, Dean didn't just stand still and watch the training of the young subordinates, his eyes were still on the skill bar of his character panel——

【xp: 109】

It is enough to improve the level of two basic skills, or one applied skill.

Although what Dean really wants to improve is the level of [Dragon Sword Art].

However, looking at the experience value of 400, which once again exceeded the character level, Dean shrugged secretly, expressing his helplessness.

But even if [Dragon Sword Art] is left aside, Dean still needs to make a choice among the remaining basic skills and applied skills.

Among the basic skills [military organization lv3] [basic swordsmanship lv3] [cold weapon (sword/hammer/gun) lv3] are the three items that Dean has always focused on.

The same applies to the skills [Military Swordsmanship Lv3 (Emerald)] [Military Swordsmanship Lv3 (Gaosai)].

But now Dean's experience points are only enough to improve two basic skills, or one applied skill.

Considering that the next battle, whether it is the 'Brotherhood' who is eyeing the auction, or the hidden high-level spy chief, Dean directly puts [Military Organization lv3] aside—his young subordinates , although the growth is not bad, but facing the assassins of the 'Brotherhood', it is obviously still too bad. If he does not want too many casualties, it is impossible for Dean to let these young people play.

As for the head of the Gao Sai spy?

It is related to some secrets of oneself, and it is also not suitable for outsiders to be present.

Therefore, [Military Organization lv3] was temporarily put aside.

Among the remaining skills, the basic skills [basic swordsmanship lv3] [cold weapon (sword/hammer/gun) lv3] represent the judgment, and the applied skills [military swordsmanship lv3 (Jade)] [military swordsmanship lv3 (high competition) 】It is a blessing for attributes.

Whether it is the passive judgment of the former or the blessing attribute of the latter, it is extremely necessary for Dean.

Therefore, facing such a situation, Dean hesitated for a while.

After all, when the basic and applied skills reach level 4, there will be special options to further strengthen the power of the skills. Dean has to think when he can take the lead in improving some skills.

Of course, this kind of thinking is only for a moment.

In the end, Dean chose [military swordsmanship lv3 (high competition)].

As for the reason for the choice——

First of all, [Military Swordsmanship Lv3 (Gaosai)] has the most attributes of basic and applied skills.

Secondly, and most importantly, [Military Swordsmanship (High Competition)] limits the level of [Dragon Swordsmanship]. If you want to improve the level of [Dragon Swordsmanship], you must increase the level of [Military Swordsmanship (Gaosai)] .

As for the flame on the blade, Dean has been looking forward to it for a long time.

After all, that is a move that can really be used as a killer move.

[Military swordsmanship (high competition) lv3→lv4]

[Military swordsmanship (high competition) reached lv4, special options began to appear...]

[a, when it is turned on, the strength will be blessed by 0.15 again]

[b, duration + 3 seconds]

[c, the cooling time is reduced by 10 minutes]

(Note: only one of them can be selected)

Looking at the three special options that appeared, Dean chose a without hesitation.

After all, his fighting style makes it impossible to fight for a long time, so b is not needed at all, and the reduction of c's cooling time, Dean believes that after his attribute [Physique] continues to grow, it is definitely more cost-effective than choosing this option Many, even, as long as it is close to the silver level, [military swordsmanship] will become a completely passive skill at all, and there is no such thing as opening, ending, and cooling.

Therefore, it is wisest to choose a to make [Military Swordsmanship (Gaosai)] stronger.

[Military swordsmanship lv4 (high competition): Although you have learned it before, it is the most important thing to complete it afterward; effect: when attacking, you can buff your strength +0.75; duration 9.9 (physique x3) seconds; cooldown 67 (100-Physical x10) minutes]

(A special choice of +0.15 power has been made)

Looking at the label of "strength +0.75 blessing", Dean couldn't help but let out a long breath——

After one special option, a skill has undergone a qualitative change.

And there are two more lv8 and lv10 after that, which is enough to make this skill not inferior to the existence of knight talent.

Even, this change will be far higher than the general knight talent.

Undoubtedly, this proved once again that in the last life, he made a wrong choice, kept raising his level, and thought that attributes would overwhelm everything, but in the end he was overwhelmed by the attributes brought by skills.

Dean sighed softly.

Then, his eyes became hot—because Dean really wanted to know how far he could go if he made the right choice.

"That must be beyond the 'broken' gold level, and even, can exceed the gold level..."

When Dean thought of the scene above the gold level, his whole heart couldn't help but burn up.

Perhaps, apart from revenge, this is one of Dean's few persistent pursuits.

And just after Dean completed the special option of his first skill, there was a commotion in the place where the people from Defendi lived in the distance——

"Have you seen Captain Chuld Defendi?"

"Have you met Captain Churd Defendi?"

...

The voice of such a question went from low to high, reaching Dean's ears.

Dean sneered slightly at this.
