Chapter 232: The Immediate Plan

After four hours of sleep, Dean woke up in the morning when the sun had penetrated the fog thoroughly.

Pushing open the window, Dean watched the sunlight scatter on the snow on the roof, the bright reflection made him squint subconsciously, and then the cold air completely poured into the room, blowing away the turbid heat, making Dean He took a long and comfortable breath, and then exhaled forcefully.

"[Misty Shadow Calling Technique] has reached the current limit, if you want to improve, you can only find a more complete version; the night time is temporarily empty, [Sharp Palm Technique] [Stone Body Technique] can really In the sense, I have devoted myself wholeheartedly; but... Even for moderate body training, investing xp above lv6 is quite a huge amount of experience, and the xp required by itself is more than basic body training, far inferior to Immediately increasing to lv4 is more profitable than the benefits; after all, I still lack xp now!"

Dean glanced at the experience bar - [xp: 428].

Seems like a lot, but if you count carefully, it's not much at all.

First of all, [Dragon Sword Art] lv4→lv5 needs 800xp.

Secondly, [Body Forging (Emerald, Gaosai, Xiti)] has reached a certain level, and if you want to improve again, the current experience is far from enough.

The third is [Sharp Palm Technique] and [Stone Body Technique]. Even if it is recognized by the system, if it is not quickly improved to the level of lv4, it will not be able to obtain the corresponding characteristics, and join the actual combat in the true sense middle.

"If [Sharp Palm] and [Stone Body] want to be raised to lv4, according to the xp requirements of medium body forging secrets, it should need 180xp, and [Body Forging (Emerald, Gao Sai, Xiti)] now Every level up requires hundreds of xp, especially lv7→lv8. It also needs 400xp, which is far from what I can get now, plus the necessary level improvement of [Dragon Sword Art]. I am now facing It is a huge XP loophole!"

Dean sighed silently in his heart.

"Get greater benefits with the existing xp..."

Dean tapped his fingers on the window frame, and some thoughts appeared naturally.

Just like accumulating wealth.

Nothing more than two ways. Open source or throttling.

In Dean's current state, throttling is inevitable, and open source is also quite——

"If you can get enough basic and auxiliary secret techniques,

Just using it as an improvement in physical attributes, I can also get considerable benefits-after all, whether it is the investment in xp or the investment in time, it is far lower than that of medium and high-level secret techniques; however. It is not easy to obtain more basic and auxiliary secret techniques! It's the same even if it's just some basic and auxiliary secret techniques... After all, it's human nature to cherish one's self! "

With a slight sigh, Dean closed the window, and suddenly, the optical fibers penetrated through the gaps in the wooden boards, like fences, which became more and more dazzling.

Dean turned around, walked through the beams of light, and walked to the fireplace. Take the fire hook to stir up the remaining ashes, find the sparkling wood, and put the prepared wood next to the fireplace. I chopped it several times again to make it smaller and thinner, like a small piece of wood; then put it on the spark, and blew it gently twice.

After a while, these small pieces of wood were ignited, and the logs were placed on these small pieces of wood in an orderly manner.

Soon, flames appeared in the fireplace, and the room that was invaded by the cold air became warm again.

Dean sat in front of the fireplace thinking about the ways he could obtain more basic and auxiliary secrets——

"The thieves' guild in the Emerald City should have enough foundations and auxiliary secret techniques, but it must pay enough Kimptons, and I don't have enough funds now! Except for heavy purchases, there is only The Marquis of Vauban and the Grand Duke of Emerald have enough foundations and reserves of auxiliary secret arts. However, the Marquis of Vauban is not suitable, so I made a request for the territory. If I ask to read the secret arts again, it will be enough It disgusted the old Marquis; then, only Grand Duke Emerald..."

Thinking of this, Dean frowned again.

It wasn't for any other reason. After all, with the importance that Grand Duke Jade attached to him, since he had sent 'White Rose' to teach the medium-level body training secrets, he would no longer be stingy with some basic and auxiliary body training secrets.

However, there is one thing that Dean must consider!

distance!

He is now in Vauban County, the farthest of the four northern counties, while the territory of the Grand Duke Emerald is in the three southern counties. Although the entire three southern counties are the territory of the Grand Duke Emerald, the real location of the Grand Duke Emerald is the southernmost The Nangang Emerald Castle!

The whereabouts of the two sides are simply diametrically opposed!

As for crossing the entire emerald, it would take two months to cross the entire emerald, even if it was a continuous fast horse ride without sleep, and if counting the round trip, it would be four months...

This is obviously not an acceptable time for Dean.

"In midsummer, Grand Duke Jade invited me. Maybe it was more appropriate at that time. By the way, those metal puppets also made me have to go to the south... Moreover, although your Excellency instructor only knows these basic and auxiliary body training secrets , but it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t know other basic and auxiliary secret arts; after all, as the archduke’s swordsman and responsible for teaching talented young people, what she knows must be quite a lot and mixed, that’s right!”

Dean changed timing and plans.

In the end, the thought that came to him made him immediately get dressed and walked out of the room.

Boom, boom...

After the rhythmic knock on the door, the voice of the Archduke Swordsman rang——

"Dean? Come in!"

The recognition of the footsteps is obviously not a problem for a silver-level knight.

"Instructor, good morning!"

Dean pushed open the door, looked at the archduke swordsman who was also neatly dressed, and greeted him directly.

Obviously, he only needs four hours to replenish himself, so much less time than his powerful Silver Knight naturally needs.

"Are you a little nervous? Although your request last night was a bit abrupt, the Marquis of Vauban will agree. After all, the most valuable thing in the Land of Defendi is the iron ore. Besides, it is not as good as the Land of Tyre! "

The archduke's swordsman said this after signaling Dean to sit down.

"I'm not worried about this, I just need a piece of territory. It proves my noble status and title is in name only!"

Dean replied half-truthfully.

A noble with a territory is a real noble.

Such a statement. It has been circulated on Godez very early, whether it is Jade, Gao Sai or Xiti, they all agree with this statement.

Of course, the Grand Duke's swordsman is not ignorant.

Therefore, after a slight silence, the archduke's swordsman nodded slightly and said: "This is an inevitable process, but you need to be more careful; if the Marquis of Vauban is not on His Highness's side, you will also If you stand on His Highness's side, last night might have been the beginning of a bad relationship!"

"Of course I know, so I was willful once - please convey my apology to His Highness and Lord Marquis on my behalf!"

Facing the kind persuasion of the Archduke Swordsman, Dean naturally would not have any dissatisfaction, he said in a very sincere manner.

"I'll tell you the truth; but... you're looking for me?"

The archduke's sword master nodded first, then looked at Dean suspiciously.

"I want to learn more secret arts...it doesn't need to be too advanced, just the basics and auxiliary ones you know, instructor!"

Dean replied seriously.

"Secret techniques are not always better. It will only distract you!"

The Grand Duke's sword master also became serious, and quickly entered the instructor's "guidance mode".

"I have also seen some people who want to rely on basic and auxiliary secret arts to increase their strength, but. Although basic and auxiliary secret arts can be quickly introduced, they are not at all easier than medium and advanced secret arts when they are improved. , all need to spend energy and time to complete, and the time spent on two or three basic and auxiliary secret arts is enough to make a medium secret arts reach a considerable level-the former seems to be much, but in terms of quality In comparison, it is not necessarily the opponent of the latter; and after the passage of time again, those who have learned the basics and auxiliary mystic arts have reached a limit. However, those who have learned intermediate and advanced mystic arts are still moving forward, and the distance between the two sides will only increase. It's getting farther and farther away. In the end, the former can't even see the back of the latter!"

"Dean, you are the most gifted boy I have ever seen. You are far more than the boys I taught before, so I hope you can cherish your talent—[Giant Transformation] is the one that can really let you step forward. The power to reach the peak, and the existence of the secret art itself, is also to allow people to step on the advance payment. Now you have a little guarantee, so... why don't we put more energy on this guarantee? Not to mention , the strength you have acquired at your age is enough to be proud of - you can't intervene in the previous battle in Defendi Town, not because you are weak and powerless, but because it is not your battle! The ring of Mobius, It is not your opponent!"

Obviously, the archduke's swordsman thought that the previous battle made Dean have such an idea.

"Instructor, I know what you said, but... I won't be so reckless - I want to know more basic and auxiliary secret arts, just to broaden my horizons, after all, I can't Guarantee my enemy, whether there are any special means; therefore, I am more willing to plan ahead!"

Dean replied like this.

And such an answer is obviously in line with the 'knight' image that Dean has always shown: stubborn, cautious, but with a hint of enthusiasm for exploration.

"Well, I can tell you some basic and auxiliary secret techniques that I have reviewed, but you must ensure that you will not be distracted by this—after all, these basic and auxiliary secret techniques are not suitable for owning [ Giant Transformation], otherwise, I would have told you already!"

Seeing the stubbornness on Dean's face, the archduke's swordsman finally nodded.

"It's beyond grateful!"

Dean bent down and saluted.
