The Emerald Tower

Chapter 300 Gambling. About 2 in 1 Chapter~

Dean's long sword didn't need to go any further, because he had already achieved what he needed to be 'unrivaled in the world' - facing the aura of the gold powerhouse, he drew his sword and attacked.

And the old Marquis also doesn't need to do anything else. Facing a young man who can't even reach the Silver Knight, his imposing coercion is already bullying. If he is dodging, blocking, or counterattacking, then He is no longer treating his own people, but an enemy.

Dean is naturally not an enemy.

But a young man with a bright future on his own side.

The old Marquis even saw the trajectory of the opponent's growth - the big knight and silver are obviously not obstacles, and they will pass smoothly all the way!

When it comes to gold, there may be some obstacles, but they are definitely not insurmountable.

He will reach the level that ordinary people can only look up to faster than others imagined.

The old Marquis believed so firmly.

So, the old Marquis laughed again.

"Little Qiangwei, I agreed to your previous request!"

Said the old Marquis.

"Thank you for your generosity!"

The Archduke Swordsman was taken aback for a moment, then immediately bowed in surprise, and at the same time, gestured to Dean.

However, Dean did not act immediately, but looked at the archduke's swordsman with an inquiring look—although, for the reason that the archduke's swordsman insisted on letting him practice [Power of Giant Monster], Dean was naturally concerned about this At that time, the Grand Duke Swordsman had some guesses about the old Marquis' gratitude, but he could only guess a rough idea, and the specific process still needed the other party's explanation.

after all. [Power of Giant Monster] is a family secret art of the Marquis of York family. Dean didn't believe it. He will get this secret technique without paying anything.

This is not a question of value or appreciation, but a question of the basic survival of a family.

It's as if you have a piece of flawless jade in your family, which can be used as an inheritance, but you want to give it to others at this moment.

No matter who they are, whether they are magnanimous or not, there will always be unhappiness and resentment in their hearts.

Unless, the person to give is your son or daughter.

otherwise.

Basically impossible.

"Master Marquis, I am willing to pass on [The Power of the Giant Monster] to you, all you need is for you to add York's surname to your name, and become the knight of Lord Marquis..."

"impossible!"

Before the Archduke Swordsman could finish his words, Dean shook his head decisively.

As for the surname, Dean naturally doesn't value it, after all, he is now Dean. It can be regarded as a pseudonym, with a few more prefixes, suffixes and the like. He doesn't care at all.

However, Dean was unwilling to become someone else's knight.

After all, although the rank of the knight is higher than that of the followers, they still need to obey the orders of the loyalists.

Since Dean left the emerald capital, everything he has done is to have the ability to be "independent" - only when he is truly independent can he have the possibility of change.

Under the constraints, even if there is a chance, it is absolutely difficult to change the upcoming 'Blood Moon War'.

The simplest, an order from a loyalist is enough to make you helpless.

As for violating orders?

Even if there are extenuating circumstances, they will be punished.

The balance of merit and demerit exists in Dean's hometown, and it also exists in Godez, but the nobles and royal family here value 'loyalty' more - in other words, the execution of orders.

A person who cannot fully carry out orders, even if he does something beneficial, people think not of his merit, but of his fault.

The old-fashionedness of the nobles and the royal family is so helpless.

The Marquess of York is one of the representatives of this old-fashioned.

Once under the opponent's command, Dean can already see his future.

If it was the Emerald Duke, he might consider it, but if it was the Marquis of York, he would definitely not consider it.

Of course, the more important point is: the advice given by a person who can talk on an equal footing and the advice given by a subordinate have completely different effects on a staid person like the Marquess of York.

The former will definitely be considered.

In the latter, the other party will stubbornly believe that the subordinates should listen to themselves.

Therefore, as long as Dean wants to give the old Marquis a little hint, or in other words, wants to change the event that York City was attacked by Citi in three days, it is impossible to agree to such a condition.

"Is it because of your last name?"

Grand Duke Swordsman asked.

"Ok!"

Dean, who didn't care about his last name, naturally used it as a shield at this time.

After all, a person who cares about his surname can only be said to have aristocratic traditions, and will not be caught by someone and wantonly attacked like the second point.

If possible, Dean wants to maintain a good relationship with the old Marquis in front of him-for the upcoming Blood Moon War.

"Is York's surname not worthy of Zelgon?"

These were not the words of the old Marquis, but a slightly younger one. The person who said these words came from outside the hall—this was a young man in gorgeous clothes, with the same eyebrows as the old Marquis. They are similar, except that they are thin and thin, and a robe that should be full of imposing manner looks very generous on the other party's body.

And next to this thin young man is a tall and built man with a strong body and short hair close to the scalp, almost exactly the same as the old Marquis. The old Marquis, who seemed to be middle-aged, suddenly became younger.

Tower Gate York and Deren York!

The two sons of the old Marquis!

The one who spoke was the second son Deren York, and the one who was silent and very similar to the old Marquis was Tamun York.

Based on the information already known, Dean gave a judgment very easily.

However, the aggressiveness of the second son of the old marquis was obviously hostile.

This point, Dean can clearly judge just by scanning the other person's face - and his previous refusal naturally shouldn't let the other party reach such a level.

So……

envy? !

Dean came up with such a reason. It seems a little unreliable. after all. As the king of the county and the son of the strong man of gold, the opponent doesn't need to envy others at all.

However, look at the other party's thin body that is not even as good as a wizard.

It seems to be a matter of course again - according to the rumors, the second son of the marquis not only lacks the talent of knights, but also lacks the talent of wizards.

Compared to the other party's talented elder brother, he is completely useless.

but. This is only in terms of body, but in terms of mind, the other party is still quite smart-whether it is the incident that caused the civil turmoil in the entire Yorkshire after that, or the timing of the export, it is enough to prove that the other party's brain is very active.

Of course, the mind is also extremely vicious.

Because, Dean saw clearly, the smile on the face of the Marquis of York disappeared.

It's a big deal for the nobles when it comes to their own family's surname!

Especially for one of the old-fashioned representatives of the Marquess of York. Even more so—Zelgon had been great, that's a fact. But this is once, it is history!

After the disappearance of the frost elves, under the name of Zelgang, there has been no gold powerhouse, and there are even very few silver ones.

But the York family is different!

Not only has a digital silver, but also has a gold-level powerhouse!

Perhaps in terms of the age and background of the family, the Zelgon family is even better, but if you add the family strength, even if you add the Seymour family in the three southern counties, compared with the York family, it is more than a notch behind!

After all, the York family, sitting in the entire Yorkshire, has as many as eight large and small territories, has 30,000 permanent soldiers, and the entire civilian population exceeds 500,000.

Such a figure is slightly inferior to the sum of all the three counties in the south.

And it was the only gold powerhouse of the York family who made Yorkshire develop into what it is today: the Marquess of York!

Therefore, the Marquis of York has always regarded it as his own glory, and if Dean said that Zelgaon's surname is higher than that of York, it would naturally be a provocation.

With the character of the Marquis of York, even if he appreciates Dean, he will never mention the teaching of [Troll Power] and other things.

And this is also the purpose of Deren York.

Dean could see clearly that the second son of the Marquis, who had no talent for knights or wizards, was happy to see others lose the opportunity to go further—it was a twisted pleasure.

Moreover, looking at the smug smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, Dean was sure that the other party had done this more than once.

Derren York naturally saw Dean's gaze, but he didn't care. The old Marquis' identity and strength were enough to make him run amok in Yorkshire, let alone a small lord in a backcountry. He doesn't even care if he is a noble in the Emerald City.

So, after seeing Dean's gaze, the second son of the Marquis asked in a louder voice: "Do you think that Zelgon's surname is higher than York?"

If there was still a bit of leeway before, this time the second son of the marquis simply made it clear that he wanted to 'compete' with Dean.

And at this time, whether Dean kept silent or directly answered yes or no, he would fall into the calculations of the second son of the Marquis.

Keeping his mouth shut made Dean appear cowardly. The old Marquis would never like cowardly people.

If the answer is yes, it will naturally make the old Marquis even more angry.

If the answer is no, then the other party will definitely seize on Dean's previous answer of "impossible", stalk him, and label Dean as "reneging on what he said", or even "insincerely speaking".

And this also displeased the old Marquis.

To put it simply, the second son of the Marquis has a good grasp of his father's temper, and no matter how Dean answers, he will fall into the opponent's calculations.

"I don't think so!"

Dean answered.

"Then your previous refusal was a slip of the tongue?"

The second son of the Marquis sneered, waiting for Dean to continue to get into his trap, and at the same time, seeing his father's discolored face in the distance, he became more and more proud.

"no!"

Dean answered in the affirmative.

"Not this one, nor that one, are you playing tricks on our York family?"

The second son of the Marquis was taken aback, but he reacted immediately. asked loudly.

at the same time. a hat. It was quietly sent to the top of Dean's head.

"Of course not. I personally respect the old Marquis... But, I think I am more suitable for practicing [Mountain Soul Power]!"

Dean replied again.

And those words silenced the surroundings.

"Are you more suitable for practicing [Mountain Soul Power]?"

There was a touch of ridicule in the words of the second son of the Marquis, and even turned into a loud laugh afterwards, as did some guards around him.

However, it was not as obvious as the second son of the Marquis.

They just shook their heads wryly. I think Dean's answer is really stupid.

[Power of Mountain Soul] is a very special high-level secret technique, because it is not difficult to get started, but it is extremely difficult to improve, so it is known by many people.

Even, many families regard [Mountain Soul Power] as an example for the younger generation to choose body-forging secrets——

Words such as "the higher the level of the secret technique is not, the better" can be heard endlessly.

Therefore, [The Power of the Soul of the Mountain] is 'famous far and wide'.

Even the second son of the marquis, who has no knight talent or wizard talent, knows it quite clearly, and at this time. But Dean directly stated that he is suitable for [Power of the Mountain Soul], which naturally made people laugh out loud.

"Master Zelgang. You won't spend a few months getting [The Power of the Mountain Soul] to prove that you are suitable for [The Power of the Mountain Soul]?"

The second son of the Marquis said sarcastically.

"Of course not! A few months, at least to become a core force!"

Dean replied like this.

Suddenly, there was an uproar around again.

Those present are all real knights, and they are naturally quite clear about the cultivation of [Mountain Spirit Power]-it is not difficult to get started, even for people with extremely poor talents, it only takes half a day; but, once you get started , if you want to go further, it will definitely be quite difficult, and it will be impossible without four or five years.

And if you go further later, it will take seven or eight years. By analogy, it will take at least thirty years to really use it as the core strength.

Now, Dean is saying that it will be fine in a few months.

How can the comparison between thirty years and a few months not cause an uproar.

"Are you sure you have no problem here?"

The second son of the Marquis raised his finger and pointed to his head.

"Some people can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't do it - those who can't do it can only mean...their talent is too bad!"

Dean straightened his body and looked at the second son of the Marquis in front of him. After a pause, he spoke slowly.

Every word is very clear.

Suddenly, the face of the second son of the Marquis became ugly.

As a person who can't practice and has no knight talent, Deren York is most concerned about saying words like 'poor talent' and 'no talent' from other people's mouths.

But now, Dean is not only in front of him, but also directing his spearhead at him.

How could Derren York bear this?

The second son of the marquis, who was almost losing his mind, immediately shouted loudly: "Since you are so confident, how about we take a gamble? You seem to have a territory? I remember which remote place, but I His territory is in Yorkshire - Horn Town! My subordinate's territory is the closest to the emerald capital, and I think it is absolutely suitable as a bet!"

As soon as such words came out, the expressions of the old Marquis and the eldest son of the Marquis in the distance changed.

However, neither the old Marquis nor the eldest son of the Marquis made a sound to stop him.

Because this bet has already begun to affect the reputation of the nobles, and if they stop it, it will definitely bring shame to the name of York.

The fact that the old Marquis didn't make a sound to stop it doesn't mean that Dean can accept it calmly - he looked at the old Marquis, and wanted to ask the old Marquis what he meant with his eyes.

It's a pity that the old Marquis turned around straight after meeting Dean's gaze.

A look of no longer paying attention.

Facing such an old Marquis, Dean shrugged and let go completely——

"This is really too precious!"

Dean said with a chuckle, completely treating Bugle Town as his territory.

By this time, Dean had already begun to consider a backup plan.

For example: After Bugle Town really became his territory, what can he do in the surprise attack of the Xiti army. Whether it is possible to reverse historical events.

At first it was just a joke. But as Dean came up with some ideas.

But order. Dean had to get serious.

Because, he discovered... It seems that there is really something to do!

A town in the remote north, and a town in the center of Emerald, close to the battlefield...

The concepts here are obviously different.

So Dean got serious.

Because, he needs more, more!

"Well, is it valuable? I don't think so—it's just some country people's opinion!"

Facing Dean, the second son of the Marquis couldn't help but snorted coldly. Ridiculously again.

"You own Tijiao City and Horn Town, Horseshoe Town and Shield Town, and Faceguard Town. The former is considered a leader, and the latter is considered a leader—for the former, I can't make a corresponding bet, but for the latter, I think I can still place a corresponding bet...my Zelgon collar, the ancestral knight ring given by Her Majesty the 'Empress', the [Frost Sword Art] of the Zelgon family, and... the King of Conquerors [ Dragon Sword Technique]!"

Facing the bet that he must win, Dean began to increase the bet.

The people present didn't pay much attention to the previous bets, whether it was Zelgang leader. Even the Knight's Ring of the 'Empress' did not change these people.

but. By the time of [Frost Sword Art], the old knight and the surrounding knights were already surprised.

And when it came to King Conqueror's [Dragon Sword Technique], even the old marquis who turned around trembled involuntarily.

【Dragon Sword Art】!

It is not the basic version that everyone in the royal family can practice, but the real secret swordsmanship held by the Gaosai royal family. Only the real direct heirs can practice it. Thunder Swordsmanship is equally famous.

This kind of swordsmanship is absolutely priceless!

As a bet with the territory, it is naturally equivalent.

"Of course, considering your own situation... I don't think this kind of secret swordsmanship is enough—how about the sailing skills of the Zelgon clan? I'm willing to take it as an extra bet! Or, you need more More realistically, one hundred thousand Kimptons? Or two hundred thousand?"

Seeing the surprised face of the second son of the Marquis in front of him, Dean said lightly.

Dean's tone was as if Kimpton had been blown by a strong wind.

Similarly, it also shows the confidence to win.

But under such repeated raises, the second son of the Marquis was a little afraid to speak. He looked at the indifferent Dean, trying to find some clues from it—whether the other party was lying to him, or was he really sure to win? confidence.

However, Dean's indifferent face made the second son of the marquis no one would appreciate it.

"You said so many bets, but... who knows if it's true or not?"

The second son of the Marquis couldn't get more information, but he didn't give in. Instead, he replaced his own hesitation with a questioning attitude.

"Is it true or not? The real can't be fake, the fake can't be true... Lord Marquis, you are well-informed, and you must have seen [Frost Sword Art] [Dragon Sword Art] too! Now... Please comment One two!"

Dean smiled, drew out his long sword, and walked out of the hall.

The long sword began to shake rapidly, almost instantly, [Sharp Thorn of Gale Wind] was covered by a layer of frost, and everyone present could clearly feel that chill.

However, before this threatening chill subsided, it was replaced by another scorching heat.

boom!

The cone-shaped flame erupting from the long sword instantly engulfed several targets and dummies in the distance outside the hall.

Those targets and dummies couldn't resist the high temperature at all, and quickly withered and charred in the flames, and finally disappeared.

"Master Marquis, is this [Frost Sword Art] and [Dragon Sword Art]?"

Dean put his sword back into its sheath, and looked at the old Marquis with a smile. He was not worried that the other party would lie. Even if his son was standing on the other side—an old-fashioned man, there were some benefits.

"yes!"

Sure enough, the old Marquis nodded.

"I have proved [Frost Sword Art] and [Dragon Sword Art], Zelgon collar can't run in Vauban County, the 'Empress' knight ring is also in Zelgon collar; and navigation art is in my In my mind, as for those wealth? They are piled up in one place - I use Zelgang's surname as a guarantee, there is more wealth there than you can imagine, so you don't need to worry at all!"

With [Frost Sword Art] and [Dragon Sword Art] as the basis of circumstantial evidence, Dean began to avoid the important point and said lightly, and then looked at the second son of the Marquis once again.

This time was different from previous times.

Not only was his gaze burning and compelling, but also a touch of disdain emerged——

"Or...are you timid and dare not?"

Dean said slowly.

"Who is timid? Just bet!"

The second son of the Marquis shouted loudly.
