The Emerald Tower

Chapter 206 Bad News. Opponent

In the evening, with the herbs prepared by old Ander, Dean returned to his Knights' residence. After processing the herbs, he quietly waited in his room to meet with the archduke swordsman for an hour a day. His swordsmanship practice was adjusted to the moment before dinner because of Miss Tier's family. [This light novel is first published by the author]

Almost stepping on time, the archduke's swordsman knocked on Dean's door.

The archduke's sword master is always so unusually punctual, never arriving early or late

"Instructor, good evening!"

Dean greeted like this.

"Ok!"

Nodding his head, the archduke's sword master walked in, but Dean found that the other party seemed to be a little distracted.

"What happened?"

Dean asked directly.

"A piece of bad news for you... I just received news from the Marquis of Vauban that Deirdran of Dershire has entered the city of Vauban!"

The Grand Duke's sword master pondered for a moment, then said slowly.

"Dirdran? Did he come to deal with me?"

Dean searched for the person's name in his mind and asked at the same time.

"I'm afraid so!"

The archduke's swordsman replied, and then, seeing Dean's puzzled expression, he immediately introduced: "Dirdland, a mercenary from Del County, has participated in no less than thirty mercenary regiments, large and small, However, every time, he would leave with the gesture of defeating the head of the original mercenary group, and leave with the opponent's head; this guy is a murderer, and no one who duels with him can survive..."

"'Random Killer' Deirdran?!"

Listening to the introduction of the Grand Duke Swordsman, a piece of information appeared in Dean's mind. said subconsciously.

"That's right. That's the guy!"

The archduke's sword master nodded.

"He who is far away in Del County. Will he be interested in me?"

Dean asked subconsciously,

But there was already a hint of suspicion in his heart. Although Dean was not familiar with the 'Random Killer', he was no stranger. The other party had a considerable reputation in the previous life, and of course they were all notorious.

Greed and bloodthirsty are the best pronouns for the opponent.

After the outbreak of the Blood Moon War, he directly joined Xiti's team. Became the first batch of 'surrenderers' of Emerald.

After that, he was beheaded by Grand Duke Emerald on the Emerald Plain.

These are all known to Dean, so Dean can be sure that such a greedy and bloodthirsty guy will have murderous intentions on himself for no reason.

After all, according to Dean's understanding, the opponent's killing is usually supported by greed.

"Anyone hired? Defendi..."

Subconsciously, Dean thought of such a result.

"Deirdran has the strength above the great knights and is close to the strength of the silver knights. He once fought against a certain silver-level knight without losing the wind; therefore, he is also known as the strongest mercenary in Del County... Even though he was alone most of the time, it should not be underestimated that Nord and the scorpion mercenary group left Del County. A considerable part of the reason was because of this guy! And now... this guy is here for you... "

The words of the Grand Duke Swordsman were once again full of worry.

"Instructor, you won't let me quit?"

Dean looked at the soft profile of the swordsman in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"The opponent is already a knight close to the silver level. If you quit, you will not shame yourself!"

The archduke's swordsman looked at Dean and said to Dean in a serious manner.

"Won't you embarrass yourself? This is just self-comfort... A knight can die in battle, but he can't retreat!"

Dean said softly.

For Dean, he is very aware of his current situation.

Just as the Grand Duke Swordsman said, even if he refused such a challenge, it would have no effect, and no one would laugh at him; after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too far.

However, some bad remarks will inevitably arise.

Especially with the help of the Baron Defendi, Dean can almost imagine what kind of scene it will be. The terms 'coward' and 'coward' will definitely spread like wildfire, even for some neutral people He will also be considered 'cautious'; and this is obviously not good for a person who has built his own reputation.

When war breaks out, no one will be willing to rely on such a "cautious" person.

"I don't think this is backing down. Even if you have [Giant Transformation], you can't defeat Deirdran who is close to silver!"

The archduke's swordsman once again persuaded.

"It's just what you think it is!"

Dean looked at the other party with a smile, then seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "I hope to fight Deirdran... Even if you challenge him, he will not accept him. He is a mercenary, not a knight! "

"A stubborn person has nothing to end with!"

The archduke's swordsman frowned, obviously, what Dean said was exactly what she wanted to do.

"I not only have the honor of a knight, but also the bad temper of a knight... Similarly, I hope to get your teaching about that Deirdran's sword fighting style. I hope you can let me know!"

Dean shrugged, walked aside, picked up two wooden swords, and threw one of them to the opponent.

"I'll let you 'really' know!"

The Grand Duke's swordsman caught the wooden sword and said word by word.

...

Night, Vauban, Lower Town.

'River Night' is a hotel with a good reputation.

It is clean and tidy, and the chef's skills are also good. It is almost the first choice of businessmen with little money in their pockets; however, in recent days, the place has been made a mess of smoke.

Not only the businessmen who come and go are unwilling to come here again, even the locals are starting to walk around.

Because, in the 'Night of the River', a group of foreign mercenaries lived in.

Fights, brawls, and smashing sounds occurred from time to time. Although there were no bigger incidents, it was enough to make the local people around tremble with fear. Even the guards of the city guard. I had to stand here and stationed a whole team of people.

such a move. Make those around you a little more at ease.

However, among these people, the boss of "Night on the River" is definitely not included.

This man, who is nearly fifty years old, has spent his days like years these days. Every time the 'guests' fight and fight, he feels very distressed.

Because it was his furniture that was damaged.

"Boss, I'm really sorry!"

A frail young man held a silver horn and placed it on the bar counter.

"Thank you for your generosity!"

The boss stands behind the bar. Putting away the silver horn, he said politely.

Among this group of people, only this and the other's subordinates were really welcomed by the boss, they were polite and modest, and they didn't want the rudeness and viciousness of other mercenaries at all.

Subconsciously, the boss looked at the other two groups, but when he caught the gaze of the other two, the boss subconsciously shrank his neck and stared at him fiercely, obviously not intending to pay, while the other smiled . But it reminds people of poisonous snakes, especially the dagger in his hand. It even makes the heartbeat of ordinary people stop.

"Boss, they are just trying to scare you again!"

Nord said comfortingly.

"Nord, do you want to eat my fist?"

Kasde, with fierce eyes and a rough attitude, stood up, while the 'poisonous scorpion' Ster was more direct, and shot the dagger straight at Nord.

"Of course not! Ster, if there is another time, we will have a real duel!"

He shook his head at the captain of the lion mercenary group, then, with a wave of his hand, "returned" the dagger to the head of the poisonous scorpion mercenary group, Nord said coldly.

"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

'Scorpion' stood up, and behind him, the people belonging to the scorpion mercenary group also stood up; and the Nord mercenary group was no exception, although there were only seven people, they were fearless Looking at each other with the team that was several times larger than him, Shi Shiran, the captain of the lion mercenary group, sat down and was ready to watch the show.

"It's over! It's over! My shop!"

The boss looked at the man who was on the verge of attack, and his face suddenly became a ball of pain.

Just as he was hesitating whether to notify the guards first to stop the fight, there was a sudden sound of opening the door from the direction of the door

Ding, Ding!

The door slid across the bell, and there was a crisp sound.

A middle-aged man with a thin figure, long and narrow cheeks, luxurious clothes and a long sword on his waist walked into the hotel lobby full of mercenaries.

The middle-aged man glanced around, his eyes almost completely occupied by the whites of his eyes, filled with tyranny and contempt.

Immediately, the two teams of mercenaries, who were at war with each other, quickly sat down and bowed their heads in silence.

The mercenaries who have always been rebellious and rebellious, but it seems that they can't see such eyes.

Whether it is the Nord Mercenary Group, the Scorpion Mercenary Group, or the captain of the Lion Mercenary Group, it is the same.

In particular, the faces of Nord and Ster turned slightly pale, as if...with a touch of fear.

"Tsk!"

With contemptuous laughter, the middle-aged man walked towards the bar in the lobby.

"Someone asked me to meet here, I'm Deirdrene!"

The middle-aged man said so.

"Your Excellency, please follow me!"

Having just escaped, the hotel manager said cautiously that although he didn't know who the person in front of him was, the silence of those arrogant mercenaries before was enough to make him understand that this person was not easy to mess with.

Therefore, the innkeeper, who was already doubly careful, became even more careful.

And with the disappearance of this middle-aged man.

In the hotel lobby, the originally silent atmosphere did not change, on the contrary, it became more and more intense

"Dirdran, why did you appear here!"

All the mercenaries are thinking like this from the bottom of their hearts.
