Chapter 148 Compensation
"Dragon Prison appeared during the Dragon War, created by a dragon descendant named Joe. It was a prison for the opposing camp's dragons and dragon descendants... At first it was just a slightly special prison, but, Later, an unknown human suddenly found this prison, and signed a contract with the dragons and evil dragons in the prison, allowing them to become a helper, and the prison of dragons became special. In certain ages, like the devils in hell, they are taboos banned by people!"
The Grand Duchess sat in the chair and said slowly. (starting)
"That human being was finally backlashed?"
Dean asked.
"No, but the other party disappeared—there is no record of this human being, even his name... Maybe there will be more records on the Secret Magic Island and the Sky City, but there are no records in the collection of the Emerald Royal Family. .”
The Grand Duchess shook her head, frankly saying that she didn't know much.
"It turned out to be like this..."
Dean nodded slightly, but once again he thought of the King of Conquerors in his heart—although Gaosai, Emerald, and Xiti had not been established during the Dragon War, but this does not mean that the ancestors of the Gaosai Kingdom did not exist .
"Your Highness, thank you for your answer!"
Raising his head, Dean thanked the Grand Duchess.
"It's just some knowledge I know!"
The Grand Duchess smiled lightly again.
"Knowledge...is priceless!"
Dean's answer was somewhat serious.
"The words of the wizards... However, some aspects are very reasonable-this is my compensation for you!" The Grand Duchess escaped from a palm-sized box that was only two inches thick. In Dean's hands; then. Without waiting for Dean to answer. It was very straightforward, and with the same toughness as before, he said: "Don't refuse, the value of the contract of the Dragon's Prison, and the sequelae left by the body after use are far from being able to make up for it, but. I can only take out these now, and the rest... When you come to the Emerald City next year during the Midsummer Festival, I will give you a surprise!"
"Midsummer next year?"
Dean was taken aback—at that time, it was less than a month since Xidi launched an attack on Jade,
Moreover, on the night of Midsummer Night, the Grand Duchess in front of her was assassinated like never before; although she repelled the assassin, she also suffered considerable damage; Dean, who was once beside the Grand Duchess, knew everything clearly.
even. Everyone guessed that the reason why Xiti launched the attack impatiently was because he wanted to completely capture Fei Cui while the Grand Duchess was still injured.
Although the other party did not achieve perfection, the final defeat of the Grand Duchess in Luoyue Valley had an absolute relationship with the unhealed injuries of the assassination.
Thinking of this, Dean said word by word with an unusually serious expression——
"Your Highness, next year's Midsummer Festival, I will arrive in the Emerald City on time!"
After speaking, Dean completed a knight ceremony in a sitting position.
This represents the knight's oath, and Dean has never violated his own knight's oath, even if he never cared about the higher real name oath.
"Well, I'll be waiting for you!"
The Grand Duchess nodded, looking at Dean with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
After all, even Grand Duke Emerald never thought that Dean would accept her invitation so solemnly—that kind of level seemed to have gone beyond the general category.
Could it be that he misunderstood something?
Subconsciously, the Grand Duchess thought of this.
After all, this is not the first time that such a situation has occurred - Grand Duke Jade herself doesn't care about her appearance, but she understands how attractive her appearance is to men, especially young men .
However, when her eyes met Dean's eyes here, she couldn't help denying her thoughts.
Dean's eyes are very bright, dignified, firm, and even determined,
But... there is no love between men and women.
The kind of lust that disgusted her, Grand Duke Emerald thought he was very sensitive, so he couldn't make a mistake.
As for arranging a 'surprise' gift for her?
If Dean had been ten years younger, the Grand Duchess would have introduced the idea.
As for greed?
But now, according to Dean's words and deeds, the Grand Duchess does not think that Dean is a greedy person; after all, if he is a greedy person, he will never do the heroic act that he risked his life before.
Dean didn't see the surprise of the Grand Duchess. At this moment, Dean, who was completely immersed in the Midsummer Festival in August next year, had already been assassinated one by one, and the anti-assassination arrangement filled his whole brain. He only heard the Grand Duchess waiting for him , instinctively, Dean nodded again and said, "Your Highness, I will come as promised!"
"And, keep you safe!"
Dean didn't say this sentence, but swore in his heart.
Afterwards, both the Grand Duchess and Dean did not discuss this issue again, but chatted about some matters in the upper class and the army.
The Grand Duchess was once again surprised by Dean's understanding of the emerald upper class society and the army.
Then came more appreciation, though.
After all, only in this way, Dean's words of "restore the honor of the ancestors" are not empty words.
"I look forward to seeing you again, Ken!"
After about half an hour, the Grand Duchess stood up and said goodbye to Dean.
"Although I still want to stay a little longer, that old man, the Marquis of Vauban, can't wait!"
Saying that, the Grand Duchess smiled slightly.
However, when Dean was about to stand up and see him off, he was stopped by the Grand Duchess again, and directly pushed Dean back to the bed. Seeing the other party's insistence, Dean shrugged and smiled wryly.
The door closed silently.
Dean listened to the sound of the Grand Duchess's footsteps going away, and subconsciously stroked the box—he was no stranger to such a box, and every member of the royal family in various countries was an adult. are eligible to receive. And after that, you can only get it once every five years. Potion of 'Knight's Baptism'.
However, it is different from the ordinary 'knight baptism' potion.
The 'Knight's Baptism' potion used by the royal families of various countries is definitely different.
Compared with most of the 'Knight's Baptism' potion with a 20% or 30% success rate.
The 'Knight's Baptism' potion, which has a 90% success rate, is obviously very precious. Even though Dean's attributes now exceed '2', it doesn't mean that Dean doesn't need a good 'Knight's Baptism' potion.
On the contrary, he needs it even more.
Because, the best potions such as the royal-level 'Knight Baptism' can not only greatly enhance their five attributes. Moreover, it can also improve the awakened talent to a higher level.
For Dean, who is still relatively weak at the moment, that is naturally a wish.
Even, the medicinal materials brought by Long Lang were prepared by Dean to prepare the potion for the "Knight's Baptism" by himself.
However, now it seems that it is not necessary.
After all, this is a baptism potion that is better than his own - although his formula comes from several nobles, it is compared to the Emerald Royal Family. It's still more than a chip away.
"I have the baptism potion, so next..."
Dean did not take the baptism potion immediately. Instead, he was thinking about his next plan. After all, his current body was not suitable for taking baptism potions at all.
Even the best baptism potion needs to be taken at the peak of the body in order to achieve the best effect.
Tap, tap, tap...
The crisp footsteps interrupted Dean's thinking. The armored footsteps were too obvious to Dean.
Boom boom boom...
"Come in!"
After knocking on the door, Dean said, and then, the Marquis of Vauban and Baron Jando pushed the door and entered.
The Marquis of Vauban was still dressed in such a meticulous manner, but there was an unconcealable fatigue on his smiling face. It was obvious that the Marquis hadn't slept well for two days.
Behind the Marquis of Vauban, the Baron Jando, who also followed the knightly tradition, was holding two boxes, one large and one small.
The big one is half the height of a person, square and upright.
The small ones are extremely slender.
And from the sound of Baron Jando placing it at his feet, Dean could feel the heaviness of it.
At the same time, as soon as the Baron Cando put down the two boxes, he began to look at Dean with scorching eyes——Dean was no stranger to such eyes.
In the eyes of those young people under him, he often saw it.
"Dean... well, don't mind if I call you that?"
The Marquis of Vauban sat in the place where the Grand Duchess had previously been, and said with a smile after beckoning Dean to lie still.
"Of course, Lord Marquis!"
Dean nodded immediately.
"So... Dean, are you willing to accept my canonization? It is used to commend your previous bravery and meritorious service - although it is only a lord, I think you and your family don't mind having a lord title in the family Internal inheritance, right?"
Looking at Dean who nodded, the Marquis of Vauban immediately said with a smile.
"I am extremely honored by this!"
Dean expressed his trepidation appropriately.
"This is what you deserve, Dean. In fact... if I can have more livable territories, I don't mind giving you a fief!"
A little more shame appeared on the face of the Marquis of Vauban.
This is not a disguise, but a real shame. After all, Dean not only saved his life, but also saved the entire County of Vauban in a sense. It is a matter of course to obtain a title and fief .
However, it is not easy to open up a place suitable for living in Vauban County, which is located in the Northland.
Not only do trees and wild animals need to be cleared, but population migration alone is the biggest problem.
The city of Vauban, which has just completed the population migration of Jando County, cannot afford the second population migration for the time being.
And the Marquis of Vauban is also unwilling to give Dean a piece of uncultivated land as a territory at will, bearing the infamy of being a "fool"; if he really does this, not only the female archduke will be dissatisfied, even he Those subordinates would also feel ashamed; after all, in the past two days, Shiva, who was regarded as his right-hand man, expressed his gratitude to Dean more than once, and the two big knights Amway and Sid were even more grateful to Dean. Dean was full of praise.
The Marquis of Vauban, who is like an old fox, naturally knows what to do——
"So, this pair of armor and this long sword are my compensation to you, and... this is a contract for a shop in the lower city - originally I wanted to give you a baptism of the Vauban family Potion, but... Obviously, that is redundant!"
The Marquis of Vauban pointed to two boxes, one large and one small, at his feet, and at the same time, he took out a contract of the shop.
