Chapter 351 The Struggle for Reputation I
When Dean saw the looming team of troops, the Archduke Swordsman also saw it——
"It's Countess Katyu!"
After identifying the flags and family crests of the people on the opposite side, the Archduke Swordsman said with certainty.
"Let's go!"
Dean nodded and waved to the young man behind him. Immediately, the whole team went up to the opposite team, and the opposite team obviously noticed Dean and his party, and they also went up to meet them at the same time.
Therefore, when the two teams met, it was by the big pit with a radius of more than a hundred feet.
"Etris!"
A female knight on the opposite side shouted loudly, applauding her horse.
The female knight in Shao armor, with her emerald green cloak fluttering in the wind as the horse marched forward, and the Chiyan orchid family crest on her chest and stomach glowed crimson in the sun.
Not wearing a helmet, the face of this female knight is clearly visible: she looks in her early twenties, bid farewell to the youthfulness of a girl, and has the charm of an adult lady. However, the pair of sword eyebrows that seem to be inserted into the bun are not Let this female knight look heroic, even that beautiful face can't hide this sense of heroism.
Fandi Kaqiu!
When he saw the other party again, Dean recognized the other party's identity.
Apart from the fact that the other party has reached the silver level as a woman, there is also the family crest of the Chiyan Orchid.
Of course, there is also the intimacy between the archduke swordsman and the other party.
In the three southern counties, the archduke's swordsman and another guard chief named 'Black Rose', as well as the Countess Kaqiu, are collectively referred to as the three flowers of the three southern counties—white rose, black rose, and red flame. orchid.
However, it is different from white roses and black roses. This Chi Yanlan became famous very early!
Although the other party looked like he was only in his early twenties. But actual age. Already over fifty years old.
It's just because after reaching the silver level, the aging of the age has been greatly weakened, making it look like it is in its early twenties.
"Dean! Vandy, this is Dean Ken Zelgon!"
The archduke swordsman raised his hand to greet Dean,
Then, when Dean came over, they introduced each other to each other: "Dean, this is Earl Fandi Kaqiu! He used to be the first teacher of swordsmanship for me, Irene and His Highness!"
Irene Feng: The chief guard of the Emerald Duke. The Silver Knight with the title of 'Black Rose'.
And His Highness, of course refers to Grand Duke Emerald.
"It's an honor to meet Your Excellency!"
Facing the countess, who was once a gold and two silver enlightenment teachers, Dean naturally would not be careless. He greeted each other respectfully and politely.
"You are the 'Duel Butcher'?"
The Countess looked Dean up and down, and then asked directly.
Duel Butcher?
Dean froze.
When did he have such a name?
The archduke swordsman at the side was also very surprised. She approached the countess and asked in detail: "Fandi, what's the matter with this title?"
"It's the previous traveler. Tell me about—"
Speaking, the Countess pointed to the team behind her.
Two wizards in robes are standing there. When he saw the countess' gesture, he walked out straight away, and the older one greeted the archduke swordsman and Dean.
"Your Excellency 'White Rose', Lord... Lord Zelgaon, good day!"
Obviously, the title of 'Duel Butcher' was something that this wizard couldn't say.
"Excuse me?"
Dean asked ponderously.
When Dean looked at the countess' team of nearly fifty people, he naturally noticed these two wizards; however, at first he only thought that they were the countess' subordinates, advisors, and the like.
After all, wizards on Secret Magic Island often play such a role in order to collect the wrong funds.
What's more, unlike the northern land which is far away and has a bad climate, the three counties in the south are not only close to the secret magic island, but also have a pleasant climate, so the number of wizards has also doubled.
At least, in the countess' team, Dean saw no fewer than five official wizards, led by a senior wizard.
Before, Dean naturally classified these two wizards.
However, even at this moment, the other party has revealed his identity, Dean still will not think that the other party has nothing to do with the Countess; after all, the other party is responsible for the task of supporting, unless it is a trustworthy person with a clear net worth, otherwise, there is no need for him at all. Possibly together; therefore, Dean asked with hesitation.
"I'm Carl, and this is my nephew, Hill!"
The middle-aged wizard introduced himself, and at the same time introduced the young wizard beside him.
Different from the respect and sincerity of the middle-aged wizard, when Dean looked at the young wizard, the latter was not only indifferent, but even looked at him with a hint of hostility.
"Can you tell me the ins and outs of the name 'Duel Butcher'?".
Dean asked.
Naturally, Dean doesn't care about any name. After all, he still had the title of Lone Wolf of Hagaslow in his last life. Compared with this, "Duel Butcher" is nothing at all.
However, the appearance of this name made Dean feel a bit of unusual meaning.
After all, the timing of the appearance of this name is a bit too coincidental, and the speed of spreading is a bit too fast, right?
He had just left the Emerald City, and this name appeared, and it spread directly to Kaqiu County, or even a little further away?
Normally speaking, it takes years and months to spread a name.
Even if something earth-shattering has been done, except for the high-level leaders of various forces, it is definitely a slow process for the people below to want to know.
However, looking at the tone of the countess before, it seemed that everyone knew it.
If it wasn't for someone with a heart to spread it, Dean wouldn't believe anything.
In this kind of communication, Dean felt a hint of malice.
Just look at the hostility of the young wizard in front of him. The appearance of seeing a big villain is definitely not a disguise——
"You seem to hate me?"
When the middle-aged wizard faltered. Dean looked at the young wizard.
"Relying on force to invade and dominate other people's property. Killing countless people. Of course it is annoying!"
The young wizard didn't even think about it. He just said that, and the middle-aged wizard on the other side couldn't stop him even if he wanted to stop him.
Following the words of the young wizard, a sneer appeared on the corner of Dean's mouth.
If it was just some speculation before, then it is completely confirmed at this time.
"The frontal failure made some people feel unwilling, and started to hit me from the side?".
Dean thought sarcastically.
Perhaps, for others. This was definitely a big blow, but to Dean, it was nothing at all.
Even if he acted like a loyal knight.
However, only Dean knows what is in his bones.
Of course, this does not mean that Dean will not allow the other party to act recklessly; after all, he still needs to rely on a 'good reputation' to gain more support in future wars
He glanced at the aggrieved man. As if he was a young wizard who represented justice and justice in the world, his gaze returned to the middle-aged wizard again. Quietly waiting for the other party's answer.
Dean's calm gaze obviously put a lot of pressure on the middle-aged wizard. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and then, with a slightly trembling tone, he said, "It was when I passed by Nangang County. , I heard it!"
"Nangang County? Did you pass by Nangang County a few days ago?"
Dean asked in a flat tone.
"About a week ago!"
The middle-aged wizard answered cautiously.
a week ago?
Such a point in time narrowed Dean's scope quite a bit, at least, people from the Mobius Ring could be ruled out.
And Dean's silence when thinking like this made the middle-aged wizard in front of him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Cough, cough, Lord Zelgon!"
With a light cough, the senior wizard in the countess' team came out. He naturally fought to the side of the middle-aged man of the same wizard, and said in a reminding tone: "Karl is not a prisoner!"
"He's not a prisoner! However, he... violated... my reputation and damaged my reputation! I think you should understand the whole story, right?"
Dean nodded first, then changed the subject.
"This this……"
The senior wizard frowned and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.
Because what Dean said was true.
However, the high-ranking wizard who was the Countess's advisor laughed lightly the next moment——
"Karl didn't do it on purpose, he just listened to some rumors! Lord Zelgon, as a nobleman of the Emerald Kingdom and a descendant of Frost and Fire, you must not pursue it?"
The high-ranking wizard said with a little meaning and a high-sounding voice.
First, he put aside his own relationship, and then used words to force Dean not to pursue it.
After all, speaking of this, if Dean still insists on pursuing it, then it will appear that he has no tolerance.
"Teacher, why should we be afraid of this guy? He's just a guy who bullies the weak and takes advantage of others!"
Before Dean could speak, the young wizard spoke again.
The other party's words made Dean fully understand the relationship between the two companions and the Countess.
It's not a direct relationship, but an indirect relationship, but it's trustworthy enough.
"You see, this is the result that I haven't pursued yet - are you willing to be slandered like this and remain indifferent?".
Dean shrugged and pointed to the young wizard in front of him.
"Then what do you want to do?"
The senior wizard glanced at his young disciple, sighed inwardly, and then looked directly at Dean.
"Let them help me restore my reputation - whoever I told it to, just tell it again, how to say it, how to explain it!"
Dean said slowly.
"I can't do it!"
And just as Dean's voice fell, the young wizard shouted loudly.
