The Emerald Tower

Chapter 147 Leisure Afternoon (Part 2)

It was already ten minutes later when the footsteps sounded again. 【First release】

And within these ten minutes, Dean carefully packed his belongings, and, holding the head of the bed, let himself stand up—although the tingling and weakness in his body made Dean frown, but he did not Allow yourself to be weak and escape because of physical discomfort.

‘Don’t underestimate your usual habits, they are the most important at the moment of life and death! '

These were the words of the old knight, and Dean recognized them as always.

If he becomes weak and wants to escape because of the tingling and weakness of his body at this time, then when facing greater danger, even if he is in good health, he will still subconsciously think of escaping—after all, this is a habit.

And Dean would never allow himself to do this.

call!

When he finally straightened his back, Dean couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief - he could feel the sweat on his forehead and back, but, compared to these, Dean enjoyed the feeling of standing at the moment more.

Dean had absolutely no objection to the feeling of lying down because, well, he needed sleep, too.

However, this does not mean that he will miss the sick bed.

After hearing the footsteps, Dean tidied his clothes a little - although it was just ordinary pajama liners and trousers, Dean also made them as flat as possible.

Boom, boom...

Not in a hurry, the rhythmic knock on the door showed the self-restraint of the knocker; and the obviously lower knock on the door, obviously worried, suddenly disturbed the injured Dean.

In this regard, Dean said with a kind smile: "Please come in!"

The door was gently pushed open.

A figure in a cloak appeared in Dean's field of vision after he entered the room. Close the door gently. Then. He took off his hood.

Long golden hair, falling down like a waterfall, and emerald green eyes, imbued the whole room with a touch of agility.

"Your Highness!"

Looking at the person buried in my heart forever,

After being taken aback, Dean saluted and greeted almost instinctively.

However, the bending down just now gave Dean a violent dizziness—no doubt. The reunion again made Dean forget the state of his body.

When Dean was about to fall again, Grand Duke Emerald appeared next to Dean again, supported him, picked him up, and put him on the bed.

"Don't be brave, no one here can see it except me!"

Grand Duke Jade prevented Dean from getting out of bed again, and there was a trace of unswerving rejection in her clear eyes.

"Ok!"

Dean felt it on his shoulder. The strength of Grand Duke Emerald's palm, and the meaning in the opponent's eyes. In the end, with an embarrassing wry smile, he leaned on his own pillow—is this the second time? Dean counted the number of times he was 'lifted' in his heart.

And Dean didn't mean to resist any more.

After all, the previous relationship made Dean very clear that the grand duchess in front of her has a rather stubborn temper, and it is absolutely difficult to change what she believes.

Fortunately, however, the Grand Duchess always discerns right from wrong.

Seeing that Dean had no intention of getting up again, the Grand Duchess moved over a chair in the room, took off the cloak she was wearing, put the cloak directly on the back of the chair, and sat on Dean's bed like this Looking at Dean with emerald green eyes, he said in a clear voice, "Thank you!"

"what?"

Both eyes were attracted by the familiar knight uniform with white background and green emblem, and Dean, who was lost in memory, obviously didn't hear what the Grand Duchess said.

"I thank you Ken for everything you have done for County Vauban and me!"

Grand Duke Emerald was not angry at all. On the contrary, he once again expressed his gratitude to Dean with a very serious attitude.

"Your Highness, this is what I should do!"

"No, in the face of the situation at that time, even if you escaped, no one would say anything... But, you did something far beyond your ability-so, I must thank you for it, and I can't wait to see I want to express my gratitude... Therefore, I came to see you before the Marquis of Vauban!"

Dean said from the bottom of his heart, the sincerity in his eyes made the corners of Duke Jade's mouth slightly curled up, and a shallow smile appeared on that beautiful face, almost causing Dean to fall into a trance again— — Undoubtedly, for Dean, apart from Leni, the Grand Duchess is the woman he is least resistant to.

However, the calmness and tenacity cultivated in his previous life as an assassin prevented him from making a fool of himself again.

Although here, as the Grand Duchess said, there are only the two of them, and even the Grand Duchess will not mind, but this does not mean that Dean himself will not mind.

Guys, you always have to look your best in front of the women you care about, don't you?

Dean is no exception.

Luckily, Dean was doing just fine—

"grab?"

Dean uses topics to draw his attention.

"Ok!"

The Grand Duchess nodded slightly, and a hint of cunning suddenly appeared in her shallow smile. She pointed to the door of the room and said, "The old Marquis is still sighing softly in the hall in front! He must be very worried. , Ken, you will directly swear to me, and then follow me to leave Vauban county!"

"It is my honor to serve His Highness!"

Dean said with a smile - he didn't bother with why the Grand Duchess could hear the sigh hundreds of yards away, after all, the strength of the gold level was enough to explain everything.

"So, are you willing to go back to the three southern counties with me?"

The Grand Duchess looked at Dean intently.

Facing such a grand duchess, Dean agreed almost subconsciously; however, when he was about to speak, he thought of the situation he was facing.

Obviously, based on his previous performance, the Grand Duchess' appreciation for him, as long as he goes to the three southern counties, he will definitely be reused.

And Dean is also from the heart, very willing to leave with the Grand Duchess.

But... the blood moon war!

Thinking of the war that would destroy everything, Dean couldn't agree.

After all, well known. The four northern counties are the real defense centers of the Emerald Kingdom and the places where infantry, cavalry and other troops are recruited. Although the three counties in the south are full of flowers. But more are based on the navy.

Use warships against cavalry?

Unless the warship can land on land, otherwise, it is simply impossible.

And Dean didn't think he was capable, so he took the warship to land and competed with Xiti's cavalry.

So, after opening his mouth, Dean shook his head——

"I am now the head of the Feichalun Knights, but I am willing to serve His Highness!"

Dean said apologetically.

No more explanation though. But everything is clear.

After all, the Fechalon Knights are in the Territory of Tire, and the Territory of Tire is a territory under Vauban County.

"For the honor of your ancestors? Your ancestors will be proud of your choice!"

The Grand Duchess looked at Dean, with a flash of understanding in her emerald eyes.

Obviously, the identity that Dean has been creating before has begun to play a role-no doubt, as the Grand Duchess who follows the knight tradition, she understands and supports the practice of using military exploits to restore the family's reputation.

and. She looked from hesitant to determined Dean. Not stingy with his praise—

"If, I'm just saying if—the three southern counties still welcome you, and I'm willing to keep a piece of territory outside Nangang County for you!"

The Grand Duchess gave her promise very solemnly.

"Grateful!"

Dean, who was sitting on the pillow, sat up straight as much as possible to express his gratitude, and this behavior made the Grand Duchess push Dean back to the bed again.

"Your body is very weak, you need to rest as much as possible... Do you know what the spell you used before is?"

The Grand Duchess frowned slightly, apparently not really blaming Dean, but worried.

"I don't know, it's just passed down by the family as the last hope item!"

Dean replied with the words he had thought of long ago.

Even in the face of the Grand Duchess, some things about Dean cannot be clearly stated-after all, according to the character of the Grand Duchess, if he really knew that he went to 'dig' the tomb of the King of Conquerors, even if he didn't feel disgusted, he would Definitely caring; and Dean didn't want that to happen.

So, he kept his mouth shut and told white lies.

Push everything away, just the family that his body can't remember clearly.

"The last hope? Well, it can also be called the last hope... However, obviously, the passage of time has made your family's records of this spell not comprehensive - the prison of the dragon is one of its many names. , as its name indicates, the Thunder Gate you see is the prison that leads to all kinds of dragons and evil dragons. The two parties exchange their needs in the form of contracts! However, as far as I know , anyone who signs a contract with demon dragons and evil dragons will end badly—as demon dragons and evil dragons expelled and imprisoned by the dragon clan, they are more cunning than anyone who signs a contract ,evil!"

The Grand Duchess nodded first, and then explained the danger to Dean with a solemn expression.

"No one?"

"Yes, there is no one!"

Facing the solemn answer from the Grand Duchess, Dean subconsciously thought of the King of Conquerors—the opponent's swordsmanship, body, ability, and these two scrolls, and Dean somehow felt that there was a connection between them.

If you read that diary...

Subconsciously, Dean thought of the "book he ate".

Obviously, in that diary, there should be some records about the 'Dragon Prison'.

However, since it has been 'eaten', Dean can't 'spit' it out, so this kind of regret disappears in an instant - Dean will never waste too much thought on an item that cannot be recovered .

After all, those are objects, not people.

"Your Highness, can you tell me more about the Dragon Prison?"

Dean restrained his thoughts, and looked at the Grand Duchess in front of him.

"certainly!"

Meeting Dean's serious gaze, the Grand Duchess nodded and smiled.
