The Emerald Tower

Chapter 259 Discovery. Visitor

De Hall, the bishop of Vauban County, left the Territory of Zelgaon again, with an injury that could not be recovered in a lifetime-this was not only the judgment of Dean, but also the judgment of the Grand Duke Swordsman.

In fact, in the black light field of the Mobius ring before, this His Excellency the bishop was the one who really suffered the biggest attack.

And that itself was Dean's layout.

If I had to talk about an accident, it would be the crystal of the 'Random Killer'.

Fortunately, such an accident is developing towards the good side.

"De Hall will stop here!"

Looking at the carriage that disappeared at the end of the road, the Archduke's swordsman said with a hint of exclamation.

"For us, there are only advantages and no disadvantages!"

Facing the exclamation of the archduke swordsman, Dean told the truth - he is destined to be an enemy, so he must be killed in the cradle.

Knowing that De Hall will become a gold-level powerhouse in the future, Dean absolutely has no mercy.

After all, the pity at this time will be exchanged for countless corpses of one's own side in the future.

"De Hall is one of the powerhouses who are most likely to enter the gold level of the Divine Cult in the past 20 years... If not for this accident, he is very likely to really step into that level!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman is simply evaluating based on strength.

Gold level, when such an existence is known, is basically the lifelong goal of knights, wizards or other various existences.

"But, who's to blame? He's just too greedy!"

Dean said sarcastically.

If the other party wasn't so greedy, how could his arrangement work? Even, they will bind themselves in a cocoon.

To this. The Archduke Swordsman nodded. Approved Dean's words.

then. The two sides talked again for a while, and the other party returned to the barracks again-most of these conversations were related to Dean's own strength.

It is similar to the answering questions that teachers give students.

but,

The Grand Duke's swordsman is quite serious, and some key points of body training secrets are mentioned repeatedly.

Including some things that she didn't practice, but kept in her mind, the same is true—although she didn't practice. But it doesn't mean that the Archduke Swordsman doesn't know some of the annotations.

You must know that there is not only one person who practices these body-building secrets. After hundreds of years of accumulation, that is a very large base, and many successful people will always record some of their own cultivation. Experience, experience.

And Dean was even more sure that some of these experiences were told to him after the Grand Duke's swordsmanship master learned it and pondered it over and over again.

The self-understanding part of that kind of discourse is definitely not something that can be obtained by repeating other people's experience.

To this. Dean can only be more grateful to the other party.

After all, the other party did this for him - after entering the high silver level. The system of its own power has already been formed. At this time, it is no longer a large-scale absorption of knowledge of various powers, but the continuous purification and evolution of its existing power system, and finally enters the gold level.

Therefore, if the Grand Duke's swordsman is not necessary, he will never waste time on secret arts and secrets that do not match his own power system.

"[Great Roar] [Two Hands] [Holding Breath] [Concentration] The key points in some places are clear, and it should be recognized by the system more quickly!"

Recalling the experience relayed by the archduke swordsman in his mind, Dean took a long breath, then turned around and walked in the direction of the barracks.

...

A week and a half later, the ruins of the original baron's mansion in Zelgang were completely cleared out, and some of the underground buildings were completely destroyed by the ruins of the ruins under the control of Dean. The 'filling' that left traces - if it wasn't for the explosion of the crystal, Dean would definitely destroy it more completely.

However, from now on, it is enough.

At least, anyone who wants to enter the underground must first clear the entire underground.

And the bricks and stones formed by all kinds of ruined walls are definitely not an easy job, not to mention, even if they are cleaned out, it will be of no use.

Not only the statue of Mobius, but also the forged mark of Dean, which has completely disappeared from it.

This work was personally supervised by Dean, so it was very reassuring for Dean.

However, when Dean wanted to transform this place into a square, he was blocked by Huck, Siren, and even Raul——

"Everything you have done is good enough, but there is no need for you to really live in the barracks - you must know that you are not only the head of the Knights of Feichalun, but also the lord of Zelgang!"

"As the lord of the Zelgon Territory, you cannot live without a mansion!"

"Yeah, this itself is about your reputation!"

...

Many of his subordinates blocked him as if they were blown up, which made Dean hesitate, and when the message from the Baron Tire and the Marquis of Vauban came from the Territory of Tyre, and even the city of Vauban, Dean completely gave up his original plan. Thoughts——

"Are you short of Kimpton because of the previous war? I will lend it to you for free. If there is a shortage of manpower, I have it here too!"

These are the words of Baron Tyre.

The Marquis of Vauban was even more straightforward—a bag of rewards of about five hundred Kimptons appeared in Zelgaon Territory.

"It's half a square, half a mansion here - I only have one person, so I don't need such a big space, and the vacant space can be used as a market, and a sale is held every two weeks. Tierling and Zhanerling leave We are very close, and will definitely attract a lot of people! And we are all in vain, and the necessary funds are indispensable...Is it impossible to accept the relief of Lord Marquis every time?"

In the end, Dean made such a proposal.

Faced with such a proposal, many subordinates did not say anything more, but in terms of life, they began to pay more attention to saving.

In this regard, Dean can only smile twice.

He can't say that a war sweeping across the jade is coming, right? Now spend Kimpton to build some kind of mansion. It is far better to say that it is better to build more weapons and armor.

to this end. Dean is concerned about the construction of his so-called mansion. It can be described as 'excellence'.

Of the 500 Kimptons given by the Marquis of Vauban, he only used 200 Kimptons as construction costs, and the remaining 300 Kimptons were put into the barracks again.

Zelgang led the selection of soldiers and militiamen, which happened to be the time to spend money.

In fact, if it weren't for the obstruction of many subordinates again, Dean thought that two hundred Kimptons would be a luxury, twenty or thirty Kimptons. It is enough to build a small building with a larger size.

The carpenters from Tyreland, with their own wood, began to work on Zelgaon Territory-this is the preliminary work, the real construction, and it has to wait until the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.

And some militiamen and civilians from the Zelgon Territory greeted these carpenters.

The previous battles made the two sides very familiar. Coupled with the friendly relationship between the two lords, there is more goodwill between them.

Dean was pleased with that.

After all, that's what he's always wanted.

For him who needs soldiers, population is a big problem. Not only the Zelgon Land of itself and the Tyre Land of its allies, but even the Zargon Land next to it.

if possible. Dean wanted to pull him into his camp.

Of course, although the relationship with that idiot baron has somewhat eased now, it will definitely be a long process if he really wants to be like Tilling.

Luckily, though, Jack is doing really well there.

Not only those who walk in the shadows in the shadows of Jenner, but even those who are beside Baron Jenner, he has placed a lot of people; at least, if Dean wants, he can let Jenner 'enter' in an instant The state of their own command.

"The population of Zargon is about the same as that of Zelgon, and far less than that of Tyre. Jandu is the direct descendant of the Marquis of Vauban. No matter how good the relationship is, it is impossible to achieve the same relationship with me as Baron Tire... ...Sure enough, is ten thousand people the number of soldiers I can control now? If women and children and those who are not of suitable physique are excluded, there are roughly two thousand people available...And this is an ideal state, and the real number should be It's lower, about fifteen hundred!"

Dean closed his eyes, thinking carefully.

However, the figures he obtained made him frown slightly.

Obviously, such a number is far from meeting Dean's minimum requirement of 3,000 people, half or even more.

"Population is not something that happens overnight. Even if I have nothing more to do, the time for the Blood Moon War is too tight... If the source of troops cannot reach the optimum level, it can only be my own strength that has reached the optimum level!"

While thinking about it, Dean looked at his system panel.

[Two-handed technique lv3: This is a way to effectively use two-handed skills to form extra strength and speed; effect: when holding weapons in both hands, +0.3 strength; when holding weapons in both hands, +0.3 agility]

(Note: To reach the level cap of this skill)

(Note: To reach the level cap of this skill)

[Breath holding technique lv1, concentration technique lv1 fusion...]

[Concentration and breath holding technique lv3 (incomplete): A method simplified from wizard meditation; effect: when standing still, gain +0.3 perception judgment blessing, energy recovery speed +0.45/minute]

This is what Dean has gained in this week and a half. Of course, it's not just these, [Great Roar], [Sharp Palm], and [Stone Body] have also started to go off track one by one.

However, it will take some time to be recognized by the system.

"Concentration and breath holding technique..."

Dean's eyes focused on this fused secret technique.

The introduction in the system made him very solemn.

After all, Dean still values ​​the power of magic very much. but. The last life was on the secret magic island. But he got nothing, even if he did well enough, even far surpassing others, he couldn't let himself build any spell model.

Because, he can't do the meditation that belongs to the wizard in the true sense!

"[Concentration and breath holding method] is a method born out of wizard meditation, and I have tried many meditation methods, but none of them have the slightest effect, and they cannot be recognized by the system at all. But these secrets born out of meditation methods However, I can learn and be recognized by the system... Could it be because the method of meditation before was wrong?"

However, the moment such a question appeared in Dean's heart, he was denied by Dean himself.

After all, he was not the only one meditating at that time, there were also many wizard apprentices around him who meditated in the same way, and they achieved considerable success.

If it is relatively long, the first spell model can be built in half a year.

Clang, clang, clang...

Dean changed the way he was sitting, moving himself into a more comfortable position. Half leaned back in the chair, then. He tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair.

The sound sounded very rhythmically.

Then, for a moment, there was a sudden pause.

"They can, but I can't, which proves that there is nothing wrong with the meditation method. If the so-called talent is put aside, the only difference between me and them is... the system!"

Dean sat up, resting his chin on his hands.

In his mind, he began to spin rapidly, because he found that he seemed to have found the key point.

"While the system gave me convenience, it also gave me certain shackles: the acquisition of xp, the existence of the upper limit of the level, and the identification of occupations-especially the latter, I was recognized as a warrior, and then a knight. It doesn't matter at all, so when I go to meditate, it is impossible to get any recognition at all, but the secret arts born out of meditation are obviously not in this category. They belong to the skills of warriors and knights, and I can learn them, even because With fusion, I can reverse them back to their original form: the wizard's meditation!"

This kind of speculation, with the clarity of thinking, jumped to the bottom of Dean's heart.

Then, there is a touch of joy.

For Dean, who lived on the Secret Magic Island for a period of time, the power represented by the wizards is naturally very clear. If he can really use some spells, the benefits to him are self-evident. of.

At least, he will have one more means to fight against the enemy.

However, when the joy faded, Dean calmed down and found that this was not an easy task——

First of all, he needs to complete these secret techniques born out of wizard meditation at the most basic level.

Secondly, even if he successfully obtained the wizard's meditation in the reverse direction, he still needs a suitable spell model.

Finally, and most importantly, the spell models he knew were all very low-level, and none of them entered the inner ring level, let alone upper ring or outer ring spells.

Even so, he was far beyond ordinary wizards.

After all, any spell model requires a huge Kimpton in exchange for it, and this is just knowledge, not all construction.

Once all the construction starts, the countless materials will make the wizards rush around endlessly.

Because, at that time, not only Kimpton was needed, but also more luck-many wizards had already selected the spell model to be constructed, and had completed most of the construction, but because of the lack of one or two One structure, but unable to completely form spells, even for a lifetime.

Dean has seen such an embarrassing appearance more than once on Secret Magic Island.

"This face doesn't even count at first, it's just a little bit of hope!"

Recalling the unpleasant life experience on Secret Magic Island, Dean couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"grown ups……"

Ike, who had been standing aside for a while, spoke hesitantly—in fact, the young captain and pharmacist had been standing there since Dean was thinking.

However, seeing that Dean was thinking, he didn't speak.

However, as time passed, Ike had to speak.

After all, the outside guests have waited long enough, and if they wait any longer, it is likely to have some unfavorable effects on the reputation of their leader-you must know that the other party came with quite good intentions.

Seeing that Dean seemed to have recovered, Ike immediately spoke tentatively.

"What's wrong, Ike?"

Looking at his subordinates. Dean asked with a smile.

The opponent's physical fitness is very average. Even far below their peers. But the other party has considerable brains, and Dean originally wanted to train him into a role similar to a staff officer.

However, after accidentally letting the other party prepare potions several times, the powerful talent shown by the other party made Dean naturally change his direction.

After all, in the army, apart from soldiers, staff officers, and leaders, pharmacists can serve as military doctors. It is also quite important.

Although Ike in front of him doesn't have many potions, as time goes by, after he grows up in a real sense, he will naturally become an indispensable part of Dean's army.

Therefore, naturally, Ike became one of the few people that Dean valued the most.

Although it will not be different from other subordinates' attitudes, but paying more attention to them will make Dean willing to devote more thoughts to facing them.

A person's energy is limited.

It is impossible to cover everything, and it is simply an impossible task to train all the subordinates. And cultivating talents with excellent performance has become Dean's first choice-in this regard. Dean doesn't see himself as different, even with the system.

As for fairness or not?

Dean thought it was fair, at least he wouldn't bury someone who showed real talent.

"There are some guests waiting for you, my lord. They were there an hour ago-looking at their clothes, they should be mercenaries, but they didn't show any malice... They brought a lot of items and said they were going to give to your lord. you!"

Ike said.

"Mercenary? Let's go and have a look!"

Dean was taken aback, then stood up.

Although he doesn't like most mercenaries, Dean doesn't mind a little contact with them when they show kindness.

...

Outside the barracks, more than a dozen figures were standing there.

Some of them are wearing leather armor and jackets, while others are cotton coats. The weapons in their hands are also strange, knives and swords are the mainstream, maces, tridents and the like, and even one is simply With a huge flail, of course, a weapon like a flail is not uncommon, the most surprising thing is that the person using this flail is a lady.

Moreover, this lady is not a female barbarian who is far stronger and stronger than the Emerald Man, but a standard Emerald Man.

The only difference was that this lady was tall and slender, wearing a black suede jacket over a close-fitting leather armor.

Wrapped the whole body inside, revealing a not-so-beautiful appearance, but full of heroic aura.

The fiery red eyes and long hair of the same color became the only embellishments of this lady.

"Boss, that noble is no different from other nobles, they are all so arrogant!"

A man wearing a fur cap and wearing a padded jacket walked up to this heroic lady and said in a low voice.

"At least, he is very capable! Moreover, his subordinates are considered elite!"

The lady replied, and then, she looked not far away again, a group of guards in front of the barracks - years of mercenary experience, so she can clearly distinguish that, except for the leader, the rest are all It's recruits.

Although these recruits tried their best to do their best, there was still a sense of awkwardness.

At least, they are not proficient in the way they hold swords and spears.

However, this does not prove that they are not good enough; on the contrary, this shows that they are good-because they are working hard to do it.

Instead of being baggy like real recruits.

Being able to train recruits to such an extent in a short period of time, coupled with her own strength, Nit didn't think that the nobles she asked to meet were the same as the nobles she had seen.

At the very least, this nobleman helped her avenge the murder of her father.

"This is probably the biggest advantage!"

The man in the padded jacket shrugged his shoulders, and then said as if mocking himself: "But most of the time, such advantages are enough."

The conversation ended like this, and the mercenaries continued to wait.

Fortunately, this time they didn't have to wait long, and there was a sound of footsteps——

"My lord is waiting for you inside, come with me!"

Ike spoke to the mercenaries in front of him, then turned around and walked towards the barracks.

"Bring the gift!"

Nite gave instructions to her subordinates, and she followed behind Ike one step ahead. The mercenaries were not dissatisfied. Behind them, they walked into the barracks together.

Nite and her subordinates looked at the barracks in front of them as they walked.

Compared with when he was outside, he can undoubtedly see it more clearly at this moment.

A team of more than a hundred people was fighting each other. Although it was with wooden knives and wooden swords, the ferocious feeling made these mercenaries gasp.

"Absolutely a soldier who fought on the battlefield!"

Feeling the breath of those soldiers, Nit was very sure.

Then think of the news that the Territory of Tyre, the Territory of Zelgon and the Knights of the North had wiped out the Hammer of Riot, the Fox of the Snow Field, the Black Skull, and the Scarlet Hand.

Immediately, Nit felt relieved.

However, for the people who are about to meet, there is more expectation.

Because, according to rumors, the key point of this war is the opponent!
