Chapter 359 Between Attack and Defense I

When the sun jumped out of the horizon, the 'ancestral house' of the Zelgon family located in the Emerald Mountains was bathed in the sun a little later.

The majestic and towering mountains covered by dense vegetation are always fighting for the sun for the first time.

In the green, with a faint fragrance, a unique breath of life began to spread in the dense fog in the morning.

It was so refreshing that I couldn't help but take a long breath.

Dean left the study, stood in the courtyard, and walked through it with long breaths. Not far behind him, Harlem, whose alias was Sidru, was dutifully acting as a housekeeper.

Although it was only a few days' work, Harlem has fully integrated into this role.

After all, Dean didn't limit himself as a wizard, so Harlem thought it was a good life, and being able to escape the grip of the Möbius ring was enough to make him happy.

As for the face of the wizard?

After joining the Mobius Circle, Harlem has long since lost such a thing.

Cry, cry...

The sound of birds chirping clearly passed through the illusion magic circle and fell into Dean's ears.

Dean raised his head and looked at the increasingly verdant and pleasant forest outside. In his vision, small figures were shuttled through it, chasing and playing, and fighting for food.

"Early bird gets the worm!"

Also waking up early, the archduke swordsman who finished practicing swordsmanship naturally walked to Dean's side, followed Dean's gaze to look at everything outside the illusion magic circle, and immediately said subconsciously.

"Early bug. Eaten by birds!"

Dean responded with a smile.

The Grand Duke's swordsman was startled. Obviously did not expect Dean to answer like this. Then, she thought about it carefully, and felt that such words seemed to make sense.

Moreover, the Archduke Swordsman glanced at Dean with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but with indifference in his eyes, she naturally noticed something was wrong.

"Is someone following up?"

The Archduke Swordsman asked with gestures instead.

"Well, a lot of Chad found a lot, and some Chad couldn't find... They are all staring here!"

Dean also responded with gestures.

This is an advanced sign language belonging to the side of Grand Duke Jade. On weekdays, the Grand Duke Swordsman deliberately handed over to Dean, although Dean had already learned it, he didn't need to learn it.

"Is it because of the 'fog' from before?"

Although the words were doubtful, the Grand Duke's swordsman was extremely affirmative.

"Ok!"

Dean made an affirmative gesture.

"Isn't it just a ring of Mobius?"

A trace of worry appeared on the face of the Grand Duke Swordsman.

Because, knowing Dean's entire plan, she understands what kind of enemies Dean will face next, and among these enemies, if there are more of them, it will definitely become the key point of the whole battle.

"When I proposed this plan, it was to attract all the people from the Mobius Ring in the emerald capital and the three southern counties. Some of the accidents. I have already anticipated that, so, no matter how many more enemies .For me, it's all the same...Kill!"

It should be words of relief, but when the corners of Dean's mouth turned up, it exuded a strong killing intent.

"Be careful, after all, neither Fandi nor I can help you..."

Grand Duke Swordsman commanded.

"Of course, if you don't leave, how dare they show up? However, I can at least be sure of their general strength...and this is enough!"

Dean smiled, and the strong killing intent disappeared in an instant, turning into gentleness.

Ling, the archduke swordsman who had been looking at Dean, couldn't help being startled.

Killing intent, modest and gentle.

The contrast between the two extremely strong transformations made it difficult for the Grand Duke's swordsman to adapt.

On the whole, though, she didn't hate it.

Then, the subconscious Grand Duke Swordsman persuaded Dean to have a relationship with the Countess

"You and Fandi have nothing, just some unnecessary disputes..."

The Archduke Swordsman opened his mouth and said.

"I never aimed at Earl Kaqiu, nor did I have any inappropriate thoughts, even, I would like to have such an extra friend, but... Instructor, don't you think that you should persuade Kaqiu instead of persuading me?" Earl Qiu? I think she is much more stubborn than me!"

After changing the subject, Dean smiled more naturally.

"Fandi is more stubborn than you? Do you think you can stand up like this? Lord Zelgon, who is as stubborn as a donkey, should be more magnanimous as a man, especially when facing women!"

The Archduke Swordsman rolled his eyes and joked.

"Ma'am? It also depends on who it is! If it's you, I don't mind, but the famous Flame Orchid of the Earl of Kaqiu... I still thank you! The lady who can say 'I want to marry me, I will say it after I win!' , I think all she has is a lady's appearance, as for the inside..."

Dean shrugged and said that he would not comment.

And that meaning couldn't be more clear.

The Archduke Swordsman frowned and thought for a moment, and finally shook his head with a wry smile.

Because, she found that there was no way to refute it.

Then, Dean staggered the topic with a smile, and changed the content to some trivial matters.

Dean is clear about the kindness of the archduke swordsman.

He understood that the other party wanted him to integrate well into Duke Jade's command. After all, with the support of Countess Kaqiu, such integration was a matter of course.

However, Dean didn't think it was a good idea.

First of all, he didn't think Countess Kaqiu would accept his 'apology' easily.

Secondly, even if he accepts his 'apology', he will be branded as a Katyu faction, which is definitely not what Dean wants.

Under the command of Grand Duke Jade, although there are fewer struggles, the differences between the families still exist.

Although relatively peaceful. But at the end of the day. Some things still won't change.

The three families of Kaqiu, Meili and Deta. Neither was Dean's choice.

In other words, Dean didn't want to be included in these three families.

He is willing to take orders from Grand Duke Emerald, for the sake of saving his life.

But that doesn't mean that other people can too.

Therefore, Dean must be outside the three major families under the command of Grand Duke Emerald.

This seemingly difficult matter is actually not difficult for Dean at the moment. After all, he already has a considerable personal strength that has attracted much attention.

As for family strength?

Seymour the united family. That gave Dean some ideas.

After reading the diary left by that 'ancestor' all night long last night, Dean still had some gains.

At least, he understood the composition of Seymour's joint family.

And that sailing technique, he also has a certain clue.

Of course, it is obviously difficult to win over the Seymour United Family in this way, and at this moment, Dean only has a preliminary immature idea.

It will take some time to prepare.

However, these were all thoughts in Dean's heart, and of course he couldn't confess to the Archduke's swordsman.

So, in ten minutes of small talk. When the old housekeeper signaled that breakfast was ready, the conversation ended completely.

The breakfast continued the richness of yesterday's dinner.

Excessive meat is replaced by vegetables and mushrooms. And of course, some fried eggs.

Not the eggs of normal poultry, similar to the eggs of birds of prey.

"Jerry found this last night. Not only is he good at archery, but he's also a very good hunter!"

The old butler was still explaining.

And this made the Countess even more uncomfortable.

Therefore, everyone ate the whole breakfast with gusto, only the countess was a little distracted.

And this state continued until the two parties separated.

"Are you sure you're doing this?"

Glancing at the archduke swordsman beside him, the countess asked Dean.

"These guys have very little guts. If the 'White Rose' and 'Flame Orchid' are here, they will definitely choose to retreat wisely, and then look for opportunities that are more difficult for me to guard against... It is far better to solve it now! "

Dean replied with a smile.

The countess looked up and down at Dean again.

It was like meeting Dean for the first time.

"You proved your mettle, and even if it doesn't change my original opinion of you, come to me and get your stuff if you're still alive!"

After speaking, the countess turned and led the horse away.

The surrounding guards followed immediately.

The Archduke Swordsman nodded at Dean, and also led the horse away.

Suddenly, in the entire Emerald Mountain Range, Dean and his party were left alone.

"Sidru, you take Tom and Jerry to prepare. Chad, you leave the necessary manpower, and the rest start to rest at night. We are having a big battle!"

Dean said, turned around and walked towards the master bedroom of the manor.

As for the incoming enemy?

The other party will definitely watch the countess and the archduke swordsman enter Kaqiu County, settle down in a real sense, and only take action after confirming that this is not a trick.

And according to the distance from here to Kaqiu County, even if the news is sent back and forth at the fastest speed, it will take after dark.

So, Dean has one more day to prepare.

And that was enough for Dean.

After all, although the manor he was in was remote and not very big, it was indeed one of the other homes of the Zelgaon family.

There is quite a bit of magical protection here.

Even because of the age and lack of maintenance, most of them can't be used anymore.

However, only a small part left is enough for Dean to use.

At least, it is more than enough to deal with some leftover enemies.

And those real enemies were naturally shot by him himself!

Even if it can be solved by defensive magic, Dean still needs to do it himself. After all, XP can only be obtained by him himself, and cannot rely on the magic circle left by others.
