Chapter 322: One After Another II

"Steel Skin Art" and "Iron Bone Art" are all advanced secret arts.

The former pays attention to defense and takes into account physical fitness, while the latter pays attention to physical fitness and also takes into account defense. It is a secret technique that is very in line with the development trend of Dean's strength, physique, and defense.

The "Silence Technique" is because of the existence of the [Concentration and Breath Hold Technique], and after Dean said something specially, he discovered it by accident.

Of course, compared to the advanced "Steel Book" and "Iron Bone Art", the "Silence Art" which is only an auxiliary secret art is only exchanged for the most inconspicuous one among the twenty-seven shops. Moreover, 20,000 Kimptons were posted to Dean for this.

However, even so, the little lord was extremely happy.

After all, it is really a good deal to exchange something that is not too valuable in his opinion for a small gold mine.

"Steel Skin Art" and "Iron Bone Art" are also in similar situations.

Even, according to Lauder's detailed description, these two guys with advanced secret arts are almost like ordinary people, not even knights.

However, it was precisely because of such a guy that he took out the original secret technique passed down from his ancestors.

That's right, whether it's "Steel Skin Art", "Iron Bone Art" or "Rest Art" are the original secret arts written by the original creators.

Simply put, Dean can rely on xp to 'eat books'.

Therefore, Dean didn't feel more annoyed because of the refusal of the county king of Merri.

After all, the three original secret arts in front of him already satisfied Dean.

What's more, there are still six of the twenty-seven shops that have not been traded, and those two caravans are attracting real big shots.

"Although [The Power of the Wild Elephant] is very exciting to me, but... I don't think those two great figures will let me down!"

Dean said with a smile.

"The Minister of Military Affairs and the Minister of Finance, they have been fighting openly and secretly - the position of the Prime Minister of Emerald. It has always been their target... Dean, you need to be careful!"

The Archduke Swordsman reminded Dean.

"Of course, I'm only here for the secret art and secret transmission, and I won't participate in their battle!"

Dean nodded.

Said very definitely.

With the looming Blood Moon War, Dean is also involved in a power struggle between the two families. That's what idiots do.

After the Archduke Swordsman rested for a while, when Lauder reported that someone came to identify the secret technique, the Swordsman had no choice but to get up and leave.

And when there was only one person left, Dean began to take out the parchment he had prepared earlier and transcribe the three secret arts in front of him.

After a full hour, all the three secret arts were transcribed.

Dean picked up the three secret techniques, and took the lead in choosing the options that appeared on the "Silence Technique"——

[Yes/No consumption of 5xp, learning resting technique? 】

"yes!"

[The host already possesses the concentration and breath holding technique...the resting technique is integrated into the concentration and breath holding technique...]

[The level of Concentration and Breath Hold Technique has been improved...]

[Concentration and breath holding technique lv4 (incomplete): From the wizard's meditation. A simplified method; effect: when standing still, gain +0.4 perception judgment blessing, energy recovery speed +0.60/minute]

[Special option: solidify a zero-level trick spell slot]

(Fixed tricks need to know the spell structure, or have a spell scroll)

(Note 1: The level cap of this skill has been reached)

A series of reminders began to appear.

And when the option to solidify the spell slot appeared, Dean couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief—everything was as he expected, as the level of [Concentration and Breath Hold] increased, the spell slot would naturally appear.

However, the magic position of tricks is obviously not up to Dean's ideal level.

but. It has also proved the original guess, just need to continue.

Dean didn't choose the trick spell slot right away. Instead, he looked at the options of "Steel Skin Art" and "Iron Bone Art"——

[Yes/No consumes 50xp, learn steel skin technique]

"yes!"

[Steel Skin Technique lv1: forged with a secret method, making the body as if wrapped in steel; effect: constitution +0.1, firmness +0.3; special effect: steel body (due to the special skin, gain +0.5 advantage in defense judgment)]

[Yes/No consume 50xp, learn iron bone technique]

"yes!"

[Iron Bone Technique lv1: Forged with a secret method, making the bones look like refined iron Forging: Effect: Constitution +0.3, Firmness +0.1; Special Effect: Iron Bone (Because of the specificity of the bone. When making defense judgments, gain +0.5 advantage)]

[Steel skin surgery lv1, iron bone surgery lv1, stone body surgery lv4 can be combined...]

[Yes/No fusion? 】

option again. Dean squinted.

[Steel Skin Art] [Iron Bone Art] fusion, Dean has certain guesses. But [Stone Body Technique] can also be integrated into it, which surprised Dean.

After all, according to the name of the secret technique, [Stone Body Technique] should be fused towards [Mountain Soul Power], after all, they all have the attribute of the earth.

However, this did not affect Dean's choice——

"yes!"

[Steel skin surgery lv1, iron bone surgery lv1, stone body surgery lv4 fusion...]

[Diamond body (incomplete) lv2]

[Diamond body lv2 (incomplete): Special changes appear on your body, even if it is not complete now; effect: physique +0.6, firmness +0.6; special effect: solid as gold lv2 (when the defense is judged, your side gets +1.0 The advantages)】

(The skill is incomplete, the level limit is 4)

"It turned out to be incomplete? lv2→lv3 needs 300xp?"

Dean looked at the fused [Diamond Body] of two high-level mystic techniques and one medium-level mystic technique. He was amazed by the special marking.

And when he saw that the xp value consumed was only a little less than [Power of Mountain Soul], Dean was even more surprised.

After all, the difficulty of cultivating [Mountain Soul Power] is obvious.

However, [Diamond Body] Dean has never heard of it.

In fact, even the archduke swordsman can't master the countless secret techniques that have been handed down on Godez, let alone Dean; however, Dean has a system introduction. It is able to judge the pros and cons of a secret technique in a more detailed manner than the Grand Duke's swordsman.

"Physique and firmness are both important, and the special effect is the defense judgment-is it a secret technique that focuses on defense?"

Dean thought quietly.

When he thought of the strong defensive power of the giant's talent, Dean made a natural choice——

[Consume 300xp. Diamond body (incomplete) lv2→lv3]

[Consumption of 600xp, diamond body (incomplete) lv3→lv4]

[Diamond body lv4 (incomplete): Special changes appear on your body. Even now it is not complete; effect: constitution +1.7, firmness +1.4; special effect: impenetrable lv4 (when the defense is judged, one's own side gains +2.0 advantage, when one's own defense judgment exceeds the opponent's attack judgment, it will be judged according to one's own defense - The percentage of the opponent's attack judgment to hit back the opponent)]

(Percentage return power, will refer to own attack power)

(Note 1: The special option is Constitution +0.4)

(Note 2: The upper limit of this skill has been reached)

The consumption of 900xp immediately made the incomplete [Diamond Body] reach the upper limit of the current level.

"With a strong enough defensive judgment, it can actually counter-injury?"

When Dean clearly saw the special effects of [Diamond Body] lv4 [Impregnable]. I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

Based on his physique that has reached 11.94 at the moment, if it is simply converted into firmness, it is about 1.19.

Plus the 1.4 firmness of [Diamond Body] itself, and the +2.0 advantage of [Impregnable lv4], and the bonus of [Dragon Sword Technique. Indomitable].

His basic defense value has reached around 5.

It doesn't seem high, but under the effect of this defense value, Dean can already guarantee that he will no longer be afraid of the sharpness of ordinary weapons and low-magic weapons.

After all, in terms of sharpness alone, even the sharpness of [Dragon Head Great Sword] itself is only 3+.

Of course, this is just sharpness. It didn't calculate its own strength and special judgment, but it was enough to make Dean feel excited.

He seemed to see himself. Running left and right among thousands of troops, the enemy's attack landed on him, but the enemy fell to the ground one after another.

"Aren't you afraid of group battles?"

Silently, a special light began to appear in Dean's narrowed eyes, and he seemed to have found another path different from others.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

Some places still need continuous improvement.

But, at least Dean saw more hope.

...

In the evening, just as Lauder prepared dinner for Dean, Dean invited Leni to dinner. Two carriages began to enter the town of Horn.

Behind the family badges belonging to the Minister of Military Affairs and the Minister of Finance on the carriage, the guards of Bugle Town did not delay at all. Quickly notified Lauder.

And Lauder walked into the restaurant where Dean and Leni were without delay.

Looking at Lauder who walked in, Leni said softly——

"Go!"

Leni, who accompanied Dean on a tour of the territory. At this time, she was still a little lazy, but she didn't stop Dean, nor did she complain, she just said softly.

Looking at Leni apologetically, Dean kissed Leni on the forehead.

Then, he walked quickly towards the direction of the hall.

"My lord, the patriarchs of the Wolfe and Kuster families are here!"

Lauder whispered softly.

The patriarch of the Wolfe family, Emerald's Minister of Military Affairs.

The patriarch of the Kuster family, the treasurer of Emerald.

Belonging to the most powerful family in the Emerald Capital, excluding the royal family—of course, this 'excepting the royal family' is a relatively reserved way of saying it.

It is a saying that counts Grand Duke Emerald among them.

"Ok!"

Nodding his head, Dean walked in slowly.

His eyes scanned the hall, the two people standing——

One was quite old and had gray hair, but his back was straight.

The other one is in the prime of life, with extremely thick hair and beard, and the wide robe can't hide the fat and strong figure, and a compelling aura appears on this gentleman all the time.

After a simple identification, Dean confirmed the identity of the former Herman Kuster and the latter Deron Wolf.

And seeing the two of them standing at a corner of the hall facing each other with a distance of more than ten feet, Dean, who knew it well, walked between the two without any doubts.

"Good evening, Your Excellencies!"

Dean said so.
