Chapter 149 Compensation

The box was opened, and the familiar armor and standard knight long sword appeared in front of Dean——

"Isn't this armor the one at the auction?"

Looking at the familiar armor, Dean expressed his surprise just right. {first release}

"Didn't I once say that I have many similar armors in my collection? This is one of them!" The Marquis Vauban looked at the surprised Dean and couldn't help smiling. Obviously, he was very satisfied Yu Dean's expression; therefore, he took out another item with great interest, and said: "This is a standard knight's long sword that also reduces weight and speeds up the sword-I originally wanted to replace that The Frost Longsword was transferred to you, Dean, but the envoy from Del County has already sent the long sword back to Earl Del!"

As he said that, a look of regret appeared on the face of the Marquis Vauban.

"These have flattered me!"

Dean waved his hands again and again to express his gratitude.

The weight-reduced steel armor was sold at the auction for a high price of 2,500 Kimptons. Although it is a bit inflated, its real value is around 1,500 Kimptons in Dean's view. , even in a truly prosperous place like the Emerald City, it would be no problem to sell it for 1,230 Kimptons.

As for the other long sword, its value is naturally impossible to be lower than this armor, especially after the brief introduction by the Marquis of Vauban, it is even more so in Dean's assessment.

The two pieces of weapons and armor with a combined cost of nearly 3,000 Kimptons cannot be ignored for Dean.

As for the frost magic sword in the mouth of the Marquis of Vauban?

Maybe he did ask, but as compensation?

Let's not talk about the one who is also the king of Del County. Just the value of the magic long sword itself. That made Dean understand. This is just a polite word from the Marquis of Vauban.

After all, in terms of the value of the magic long sword itself, the sum of the three items sent by the Marquis of Vauban at this moment is probably several times higher.

Although Dean has made indelible contributions, sending out tens of thousands of Kimptons as a reward at one time is probably impossible for the Emerald Royal Family, let alone the Marquis of Vauban.

But even so. Dean also expressed his gratitude.

after all,

In the previous battle, his long sword has been completely scrapped, and armor is one of the purposes of his trip to Vauban County - in battle, for anyone, the existence of weapons and armor is indispensable Short.

And the Marquis of Vauban can send these two gifts as compensation; it is enough to show that the Marquis of Vauban has a heart.

You know, his previous actions were not compensation for these gifts, but just to help the Emerald Duke.

simply put. Whether it's titles or gift compensation. It was a surprise for Dean.

And in the face of such unexpected joy, can Dean have any dissatisfaction?

"This is a contract for a shop in the lower city. It mainly sells spices and furs. I have already sent someone to notify the manager there. Dean, you can send someone to take over at any time!"

The Marquis of Vauban took out a piece of parchment with the seal of the Marquis of Vauban's family and the imprint of magic on it, and when Dean signed his name, the contract had obviously come into effect—Dean He has his own property in the city of Vauban.

Maybe not very big, but for his status as a lord, it is undoubtedly another kind of proof.

If there is no fief, if there is no property, the title of Lord is obviously not worthy of the name. Trying to rely on entering the high society of Emerald will only bring ridicule-in fact, in Dean's plan, there is a place in Vauban However, the arrangement of the Marquis of Vauban saved him.

Perhaps, this property was not very valuable, but it also showed once again that the Marquis of Vauban was impeccable in his work.

At least, the old fox's evaluation is not wrong.

"Master Marquis, the previous battle in the castle..."

After Dean expressed his gratitude again, he directly brought the topic to the previous battle - with Dean's performance at that time, Dean naturally had the right to know everything.

And the Marquis of Vauban never denied this. After he gestured to Baron Jando, the latter immediately walked outside the door and dutifully acted as a guard.

"Some things are not suitable for Zhan to know!"

Looking back, the Marquis of Vauban explained to Dean with a wry smile. His frank appearance made people feel good.

"Some things are always like this and cannot be avoided!"

Regarding this half-truth and half-false performance, Dean was noncommittal in his heart, but on the surface he nodded in agreement.

"There are more than one spies by my side. After I set up two traps, one real and one false, I stepped into the real trap——When you appeared, my distressed appearance, in my whole life, has never been seen. It is one of the few... The only thing that makes me feel gratified is that my luck is not bad, and I met you, Dean!"

As he said that, the Marquis of Vauban thanked Dean again, and Dean naturally waved his hands again and again, and then, he didn't stay on the topic of gratitude for a long time - Dean was very concerned about how to get along with these high-ranking people. It is clear that when the other party has already given compensation, if he still clings to his 'merits', it will only make the other party feel bad, and it is far better to treat the other party and make the other party feel good.

"Those spies?"

Dean asked with a serious face.

"Except for the confirmed one, the other one has already been killed by you. As for whether there are any left, I am still investigating thoroughly!"

The face of the Marquis of Vauban is also extremely serious, and his tone is even more chilly - obviously, the old Marquis is killing intent at this moment.

After all, the previous battle not only almost ruined his honor, but even Vauban County almost fell into the hands of others. Naturally, only the blood of the enemy can wash away such hatred.

"What's the certain one?"

Dean showed his anger just right, looking like he was fighting against the enemy.

"It's Madr! Don't worry though, Dean, that guy is dead—after Shiva surrounded that guy's house, he set himself on fire, his body charred!"

The Marquis of Vauban couldn't help chuckling when he saw Dean's appearance of fighting against the enemy, and said in a very relaxed tone.

However, in Dean's heart, there was something——

died?

Dean was a little unsure of this result.

A spy chief who has been lurking in Vauban County for so many years and puts almost all his energy on Vauban County, apart from gaining a lot of money, how could he not leave himself a way out?

Unlike other people who walk in the shadows, spies are quite special. Sometimes they are able to die generously, comparable to real dead soldiers, and sometimes they behave weakly, like cowards.

And according to Dean's contact with Mader, the method of recruiting people in the face of a letter's temptation is obviously not the first one.

Therefore, even in the face of a silver-level knight, he should be able to retreat completely.

After all, Shiva, the silver knight, is well known in the high-level officials of Vauban County. If the other party plans, it is impossible not to count him.

Otherwise, Dean would have to doubt the other party's qualifications as a spy.

Fake death!

Almost instantly, Dean had such a guess.

And looking at the smiling Marquis of Vauban, Dean didn't express his guess—some things, Dean obviously couldn't open his mouth.

What's more, Dean didn't believe that the old fox would have no doubts.

He didn't say anything, it's just that the other party is still confirming, or...he doesn't want him to participate.

As for why?

You must know that he is now the head of the Knights of Fecheron in Tyre, not a subordinate of the Marquis of Vauban. In an emergency, it is understandable for the county king to mobilize the armed forces of his subordinate territories, but this It doesn't mean that everything can be mobilized - the county kings need to consider their own face and the ideas of the subordinate lords.

As for this, no matter what considerations the Marquis of Vauban had, Dean naturally had no opinion.

After all, it would be more beneficial to him to act alone!

"That guy is really cheap!"

Dean said so.

"Well, that's right!"

The Marquis of Vauban nodded, then changed the subject, pointed to the potion of the 'Knight Baptism', and said: "Dean, your 'Knight Baptism' is scheduled for a week later - I asked the doctor, that Then you can really recover...Although I want to let you rest for two more days, that Bishop De Hall is an unquestionable person, he is equally famous for his rigidity and his 'justice'!"

A hint of irony appeared in the words of the Marquis of Vauban.

In this regard, Dean did not say the slightest strange.

Since kingship and theocracy appeared on the big stage of Godez at the same time, the two sides have been hostile. Maybe it looks good on the surface, but in essence, it is an undercurrent.

At least, in the major events that happened in various countries, the shadow of the religion appeared more or less.

"A week later, I'll be there on time!"

Dean replied like this.

Although Dean's hatred for the religion is as hot as a flame, it is not yet time to show it. Dean's strength has already determined that he can only hide it.

"Well, when the time comes, as one of the hosts, I will also participate..."

The Marquis of Vauban nodded.

The topic after that turned to some trivial matters. The Marquis of Vauban seemed to be a learned and knowledgeable elder, and chatted with Dean.

Different from chatting with the Grand Duke Emerald, Dean could clearly feel the purpose of the Marquis of Vauban—to test his knowledge.

After all, the aspects involved in the topic have long gone beyond the scope of small talk.

As for why?

Dean naturally knew it well.
