Chapter 380 Nangang County I

one day later. [

When it was four or five kilometers away from Nangang County, Dean and his party stopped their horses——

Not far ahead, a team with the family crest of the Deta family was waiting there. When they saw Dean and his party appear, the team moved away.

"It's my aunt!"

The Archduke Swordsman explained.

"Oh!"

Dean nodded knowingly.

The aunt of the Grand Duke Swordsman is the patriarch of the Deta family in Nangang County, and also the county king of Nangang County. This old lady is not only outstanding in strength, but also quite admirable. The prosperity and prosperity of the entire Nangang County The contribution of this old lady is inseparable.

This point, even Grand Duke Emerald, cannot deny it.

Dean set his sights on that team, and immediately looked for the patriarch of the Detta family in the crowd, the Earl of Nangang County: On a tall horse, this old woman was dressed in a virtuous suit. The gown of the Ta family, the white and red rose pattern, with the galloping horses, exudes dazzling light in the sun.

Anyone who sees such galloping horses will not believe that the person riding the horse is actually an old woman over a hundred years old.

However, Dean keenly saw the wrinkles at the corners of the old woman's eyes and mouth.

Even with silver-level strength, he still can't really overcome the traces of time—although there is still a considerable distance from the limit of lifespan.

"Don't look at my aunt's wrinkles, she will be angry - women are always very sensitive to age!"

The Archduke Swordsman reminded Dean in a low voice.

Dean shrugged, indicating that he knew. Then. Follow the Grand Duke's swordsman. went up to welcome——

"aunt!"

The Archduke Swordsman who walked over on foot said hello.

Although he doesn't like the atmosphere in the family very much, it doesn't mean that the Grand Duke Swordsman will be rude to the elders. Even the Grand Duke Swordsman who knows that he can have the strength at this moment is very grateful to the elders in front of him.

Of course. She is still unwilling to participate in some matters in the family.

"Etris, welcome home!"

The old woman quickly jumped off the horse, and after giving the Archduke a swordsman a warm hug, she looked at Dean who had been standing beside her.

"His Excellency Dean Ken Zelgon?"

I didn't wait for the introduction of the Grand Duke Swordsman. The old woman asked directly.

"Count Detta, good day!"

Dean responded to the other party, and bowed slightly.

As a friend of the Grand Duke's swordsman, there is nothing wrong with saluting as a junior in front of the other's aunt.

"Welcome to Nangang County!"

The old woman nodded with a smile, but her words were just some politeness, not too much intimacy——for this, Dean, who knew the relationship between the Detta family and the Seymour United family well. Didn't mind, just smiled. He retreated to the side, leaving his personal space to the archduke swordsman and the other party's aunt.

"Very nice young man!"

Seeing Dean walking away, the old woman commented like this, then shook her head regretfully and said, "Unfortunately, a bunch of idiots in the Seymour family don't understand what they missed at all!"

"The Seymour family? What happened to them?"

The Archduke Swordsman asked a little nervously.

"Why are you so nervous about the affairs of other people's families? We have never seen you so nervous about the affairs of our own family—or is it you?"

The old woman looked at her niece suspiciously, and then looked meaningfully at Dean who was standing in the distance.

Facing the eyes of the old woman, Dean nodded again with a smile in the distance.

"If it's him, I won't object - Zelgon's bloodline is strong enough, Dean has also shown corresponding strength and talent, plus you, your child will definitely be a genius! However, In the child's surname, there must be Deta!"

The old woman spoke slowly.

At first, the Grand Duke Swordsman was still shy,

However, in the end, it turned into anger.

"Auntie, we shouldn't discuss this matter anymore - we are human beings, not bastards!"

The voice of the always soft and weak Archduke swordsman raised his voice a little bit higher.

"This is the fate of the family - after you have been trained by the family, you need corresponding obligations... As someone who has experienced it, I suggest you find someone you like, at least, this will not make you more painful!"

The old woman glanced at the Grand Duke's swordsman, and continued.

"That's why I hate the family!"

The Grand Duke's swordsman's voice became cold.

It was another unhappy conversation——when the two teams merged into one, the Grand Duke's swordsman was still not in a high mood, and even had a strong sense of depression.

"Dean, what is family to you?"

The archduke swordsman turned his head suddenly, looked at Dean beside him and asked.

"Family? I don't have much concept - when I was born, the family was already in ruins. Apart from the 'ancestral house', I don't have much more. My father is also depressed and rarely smiles at me. It's talking about 'revival, revival'; I haven't seen my mother's words since I can remember...the only ones who remember are Cedro, Tom, and Jerry!"

Dean said, already prepared speech.

"Then why do you want to revive your family?"

The Archduke Swordsman continued to ask.

"In the beginning, I didn't want to revive it - even, I didn't even understand what kind of revival... However, as time went by, as I walked step by step, I found that I seemed to be able to stand up Say to everyone: 'I'm Dean Ken Zelgon!'”

Dean's tone slowed down, considering every word.

"I don't like my depressed father, but I don't want to be like that myself-I can't imagine myself becoming depressed because of my depressed father... So, I want to be happy Get up. And a person who can't even say his own name can't be happy!"

There was a strong self-mockery in Dean's voice.

"You don't need to worry about this now—'Dean Ken Zelgon' has already been recognized!"

The archduke swordsman comforted Dean.

but. The sword master obviously didn't understand the deeper meaning of Dean's words.

And Dean wouldn't explain.

Some secrets are better kept in the bottom of my heart until death.

"I don't need your consolation—especially when your mind is heavy! If I can, I can be a good confidant... Maybe I can't help you solve something, but I can listen quietly You finish your speech—if, of course, you're a little embarrassed now. I can always wait for you to say it!"

Dean looked at the archduke swordsman with a smile.

"thanks!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman said softly.

Afterwards, neither of them spoke, and the team moved forward.

However, he didn't enter Nangang City, but headed towards the ancient castle outside Nangang City - Emerald Castle, the birthplace of the Emerald Kingdom, and the residence of the Emerald Duke.

The sea breeze mixed with a fishy smell stirred Dean's clothes.

Smelling the slightly familiar smell, Dean couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

I can't say it's a memory, but an enjoyment. His gaze swept across the ancient castle standing on a cliff.

The castle in front of you. There is a trace of tranquility in the sea breeze, and Dean can even hear the chirping of seagulls and the sound of the tide and waves, which is so different from the scene of burning flames in his memory.

Take a deep breath.

The slightly humid air made Dean open his eyes. With a calm expression, he patted the horse gently, allowing himself to keep up with the team again.

Under the high ground, the two teams stopped.

The old woman got off her horse and walked towards the castle on foot, as did Dean, the Grand Duke Swordsman and others.

It's not because the horse is hard to walk.

Just because of respect for Grand Duke Emerald.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Amidst the three long and one short bugles, the gate of the castle slowly opened, and a group of guards quickly ran up the suspension bridge that had been put down earlier, welcoming the return of the Grand Duke Swordsman with a military salute.

That's right, the Grand Duke's swordsman.

Not the old lady of a county lord, nor Dean.

As the chief swordsman under the command of Grand Duke Emerald, Yitris Detta is undoubtedly the person most respected by the entire Emerald Castle besides the Grand Duke himself.

After all, more than 80% of the guards here, especially the young guards, have learned fighting skills from this swordsman.

There are even some young people who have passed through the inheritance of secret techniques.

Therefore, facing the Grand Duke's swordsman, these people are like facing their own teachers.

"Welcome back!"

The captain of the guard drew out his long sword and held it high into the air. The surrounding guards moved in unison and echoed loudly.

"Welcome back!"

The guards expressed their respect with high-pitched voices.

The archduke swordsman nodded one by one in response.

And every young man who received a response blushed with excitement.

In front of the castle gate, an elderly man was standing there, waiting.

The white hair is neatly combed, there is no beard, and there is a long sword hanging around his waist, but he is wearing a housekeeper's uniform. When he saw the Grand Duke Swordsman, a kind and kind smile appeared on the other's face .

"Little Qiangwei, welcome back!"

The old man said with a smile.

"Uncle David!"

The Archduke Swordsman responded politely, then, looking around, asked softly, "Your Highness and Irene?"

"Because, those pirates, His Highness and Irene left the castle and went to the sea to check... Is he Dean Ken Zelgon?"

The old man looked at Dean.

"yes!"

The Archduke Swordsman nodded, then motioned for Dean to come over, and formally introduced the two sides——

"Dean, this is His Royal Highness's butler: David; Uncle David, this is Dean Ken Zelgon!"

"Uncle David, please call me Dean just like an instructor!"

Seeing the kind old housekeeper again, Dean said very naturally.

"Okay, Dean!"

Facing the somewhat familiar Dean, the old butler was slightly taken aback, but smiled and nodded the next moment.
