Chapter 225: The Night Before

Under the hazy night, a rare moonlight appeared.

The bright moonlight and the white snow, the two complement each other, as if dyeing the whole field into a silver curtain, and a little farther away, at the gate of Zhaner Town, the figures walking one after another, It is like a spot of light on a silver curtain, which is extraordinarily dazzling-the red robe walks in the middle of a group of people, covered with fur, covering the appearance of the other party, but the white robes on the surrounding waiters and knights, light The golden badges all illustrate the identity of the other party.

God religion!

In the divine religion, only regional bishops can wear red.

De Hall, District Bishop of Vauban County.

Dean noticed this team when he was far away, and the "White Rose" next to him nodded slightly at Dean, and then walked forward quickly——

"Bishop De Hall, long time no see!"

The archduke's swordsman greeted him neither arrogantly nor humblely, without the piety of the believers, nor the hatred of the opponents. He just greeted the other party as the swordsman representing the Emerald Grand Duke.

"Your Excellency 'Bai Qiangwei', I really didn't expect to see you here!"

De Hall pulled back some of the furs, revealing a wrinkled face with white hair and beard.

"Something happened, I have to come!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman said so.

"Is it because Dean Ken's shop team was robbed? What a pity, Old Ender is a good man!"

De Hall shook his head, as if expressing regret.

And Dean, who came over, saw this regret. There was a sneer in my heart - Dean knew it very well. The opponent definitely didn't feel sorry for old Ander's injury. Instead, he regretted that old Ander was not dead.

As for why?

Naturally, it was because old Ander was the shopkeeper of his shop, and he made his shop's business flourish.

And his relationship with this bishop?

Since he killed Gulodar and Higgs, the two sides themselves have been an irreconcilable contradiction, coupled with the division of royal power and theocracy,

Apart from the superficial politeness on both sides, only hatred remained.

So, all the way through. Apart from nodding his head in greeting, Dean didn't say a word at all.

So did the Bishop de Hall.

"De Hall is going to Defendi...to prevent you from taking risks!"

The archduke's swordsman watched De Hall's back as he went away, and said directly.

"That Baron de Fendi regrets his life!"

Dean sneered a few times—the other party is a spellcaster. At this moment, and after inviting the silver-level De Hall, even if he has the silver-level knight 'White Rose' by his side, there is nothing he can do; although Defen The identity of Di's spellcaster has always been hidden.

"Do you think anyone will be like you?"

The archduke's swordsman gave Dean a dissatisfied look. Obviously, it was because of Dean's reckless behavior before. And annoyed; however, he is the other party who is full of weakness. Such a glare, in the eyes of others, is a kind of coquettishness - at least, the young people who were following Dean deliberately slowed down.

And the Grand Duke's swordsman, who was aware of this, had a blush on his fair face, and subconsciously quickened his pace.

Dean followed without paying attention - he would not be as affectionate as he was in his last life, and a little bit of a normal reaction would be treated as something to him.

Leaving aside the other party's sexual orientation, which is different from ordinary people, just Leni who is far away in the emerald capital is enough to make Dean ignore any opposite sex.

Baron Jail greeted Dean and the archduke's swordsman at the gate of his mansion.

Of course, the other party's attentive attitude definitely leaned towards the latter.

Although the attitude of the other party has changed due to the change of Dean's status and strength, at most it is because of the 'friendship' of the same nobleman.

"Master 'White Rose', I have already prepared the banquet, please..."

Baron Jayle was acting like a standard aristocrat.

"We have business to come here!"

However, the archduke's swordsman refused very righteously, and, without giving the other party any chance, just walked into the guest room prepared by Baron Zhaner—it was still the last time Dean came to Zhaner Collar, a place transformed from a barracks.

"Thank you for your previous assistance!"

Although Dean really wanted to go directly to the room to rest, but after thinking about it, he stayed where he was and thanked the other party; after all, it was a fact that the other party helped him.

"This, this is nothing, we are all nobles, we should help each other!"

Baron Jenner looked at Dean in surprise, and then immediately let out a burst of laughter.

"Then, in the last few days, I may need to bother you!"

Dean added again.

"Don't worry, I will help you!"

After leaving such a sentence, Baron Jenner looked very happy, shaking his fat body and walking away.

"Straw bag..."

Seeing the other party leave, Dean murmured subconsciously—for the first time, he discovered that the nobleman with the nickname of the idiot in front of him was far superior to some people in some aspects.

Even if the other party is incompetent, greedy, lustful, timid and easy to listen to others.

Shaking his head slightly, Dean returned to his residence.

The dinner was provided by the Baron Jail, which was a bit mediocre compared to the meals at the Knights' resident; however, Dean didn't complain at all, and still thanked him for his help.

After that, there was a short rest.

About three hours later, Dean sat up from the bed in good spirits.

"If all goes well, you will be able to enter the Defendi Territory tomorrow... Even if De Hall was there, given the situation at the time, it was impossible to participate in it, unless he wanted to be reprimanded by the Privy Bishop; but... De Fendi, that guy, did such a thing, he definitely wouldn't rely on De Hall alone, and definitely has other backhands; moreover, as the opponent's spellcaster, if he arranges some means, it doesn't seem to be the case. It's too difficult... In short, we need to be more careful!"

Dean knew exactly what would happen tomorrow.

Therefore, after enough rest, he started the [Misty Shadow Breathing Technique] once again, which had been interrupted for several days.

According to his feeling, [Misty Shadow Calling Technique] should be recognized by the system soon, and at this time, any increase in strength is good.

Extraordinarily bright moonlight tonight accompanied by a cold wind. Entered the room where Dean was.

Standing at the intersection of the shadow and the moonlight, Dean began to breathe in a unique rhythm - the energy value slowly dropped, and a warm current began to flow in his body.

However, compared to the previous feeling of warming the whole body, as if soaking in a hot spring, this time it is different.

In the shadow part, the warm current has not changed much, it is still the same as before, but when it enters the half of the body covered by the moonlight, it becomes cooler.

Dean, who has practiced the [Misty Shadow Calling Technique] experience once. My heart immediately rejoiced.

He knew that this was the feeling of getting started with [Misty Shadow Calling Technique].

And just like the experience Dean remembered. When the coolness filled half of the body covered by the moonlight, information began to appear on the system panel——

[Acquisition: Shadow Calling Technique (Incomplete) lv1]

[Misty Shadow Calling Technique (Incomplete) lv1: A body forging secret technique spread among assassins; Effect: Dexterity +0.1; Constitution +0.1; Perception +0.1; Special Effect: Shadow Cang (action in darkness and shadows) time, agility and perception judgment +0.3)]

Seeing the same [Misty Shadow Breath] as in memory, Dean let out a long breath.

There is no so-called experience column after [Calling Between Shadows], simply put, [Calling Between Shadows] does not rely on experience points to increase the level.

It depends on the duration!

When entering the practice state of [Misty Shadow Calling Technique], the energy value will decrease at a rate of close to a minute, and if you can maintain it for about ten minutes, you can raise [Misty Shadow Calling Technique] to the level of lv2. If it takes 20 minutes, it can be raised to the level of lv3.

As for more advanced?

Dean, who has only mastered the first three levels of [Misty Shadow Calling Technique], doesn't know.

However, now, for Dean with [Energy Points: 25.3], it is completely possible to raise the [Shadow Call] to the highest level he can master.

[Misty Shadow Calling Technique (Incomplete) lv3: A body forging secret technique spread among assassins; Effect: Dexterity +0.3; Constitution +0.3; Perception +0.3; Special Effect: Shadow Cang (action in darkness and shadows) time, agility and perception judgment +0.9)]

Seeing the effect of [Misty Call], Dean nodded in satisfaction.

Except, there is no need for experience points to improve this feature.

Among them, [Shadow Storage] is also the point that Dean values ​​most—different from intermediate secret arts, advanced and top secret arts have their own characteristics from the very beginning.

Even the incomplete [Shadow Calling Technique] brought Dean 0.9 agility and perception in the dark and shadows.

And that was comforting enough for Dean.

"Unfortunately, it's not a complete [Misty Shadow Calling Technique]..."

Looking at the characteristics of [Shadow Cang], and recalling passing by that assassin again, Dean couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"I hope there will be something valuable in that Oneidon's notes!"

Dean thought so.

As one of the leaders of ZTE Brotherhood, Dean is looking forward to what Onedon left behind - if the value is enough, he is sure to switch to the full version of [Calling Between Shadows].

Of course, the premise is that the hidden content in that notebook has sufficient value.

"However, that's for later... Now, we must get rid of De Fendi - the original plan has been advanced, and some things need to be changed, at least Long Lang needs to make some adjustments... The biggest value of the smuggling channel can be Not those leftovers, but the hidden veins in Defendi's territory!"

Dean muttered to himself.
