The sun rises, and the sunlight pierces through the thin morning mist.

Dean and Lenny whispered goodbye, and in the distance Chad had already put his team in order—a team of ten, twenty pure-blooded Citi horses.

The Grand Duke swordsman sat on horseback, quietly looking at Dean and Leni not far away, waiting quietly, with a flat expression, and next to her, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was representing himself and the royal family, traveling in civilian clothes, sending Dean who was about to depart.

"Your Excellency 'White Rose', please be careful all the way! I've sent Terek, and he'll do his best to cooperate with you! ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer whispered.

Although the Chancellor of the Exchequer was a little apprehensive about Dean's choice, he did not firmly oppose it; After all, this matter is also a very beneficial thing for him.

Therefore, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is willing to provide more help.

Trek is his henchman, and he is also the most powerful.

"Thank you for your help!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman replied very sincerely.

As for the Chancellor's 'Terike', she knows the other party's ability and strength.

Silver-level strength,Moreover,Good at gathering intelligence、Teaching subordinates。

At the very least, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is inseparable from the Wolfe family.

"This is as it should be, after all, what Dean has done is enough for me to admire!"

In the ambiguous answer, the Chancellor of the Exchequer smiled slightly ahead, and Dean, who had finished saying goodbye to Lenny, had already walked over and nodded at the Chancellor of the Exchequer in front of him, and the two sides exchanged a few words of greeting in a low voice. Dean jumped on the horse that had belonged to Delon. Wolf's warhorse. After waving his hand at the people around him. The group quickly disappeared from everyone's sight amid horsewhips and low cheers.

"Miss Javier, I will do you the best of my help - this is a promise to Lord Zelgaon!"

When Dean and his party were completely gone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer turned to Lenny and said.

"Thank you for what you do...... I'll send for you if you need to—Mistress Kuster, would you like a cup of tea?" ”

Leni wore a dark blue gown with hexagonal snowflake embroidery on the neckline and cuffs. It is not lost in etiquette, nor in majesty.

"No, after all, Dean has already set off, and we still need to cooperate with the whole plan!"

The Chancellor waved his hand and turned to board the carriage.

And in the etiquette, Leni has been watching the other party leave.

After the other party left, Leni turned to look behind him, and Dean left his assistants, Maher and Lauder, who were Dean's entourage. has a family oath, and is undoubtedly his own person. You can be completely convinced.

Mark, the original captain of the guard in Horn Town, stayed in the previous battle, and his performance was quite loyal, but his ability was a little low.

And the last one ......

"Tax Collector Longlang, Dean has put you in charge of the taxes of the four towns of Horn, Horseshoe, Mask, and Shield - Dean believes in you, and I will trust you...... So, I'll be waiting here for you to bring the ledger back! ”

Leni looked at the tavernkeeper-turned-Takashi.

Dean's words, Leni was willing to believe, so she knew that there must be something about the other party that would make Dean believe so much—though she hadn't found out until now.

But that didn't stop Leni from choosing to listen to Dean.

"Of course, Miss Javier!"

Long Lang smiled, and the feeling of a businessman came to his face.

Leni felt the merchant aura on the other party, frowned slightly, and finally, turned around and walked towards her and Dean's residence - some things, just taken over, although they had been helped by Dean before, and got on the right track, but after Dean left, Leni still needed to get used to it.

Otherwise, Dean would not have left Maher and Lauder behind.

Maher's ability to emerge in the assassination incident is not a problem for him to sit on one side of Dean's subordinates.

And even more so with Lauder.

The other party's reputation as a mad dog has begun to spread in Horn Town and the Emerald Capital, after the other party threatens the Bora family with a crossbow and cuts off the head of the 'deserter' with his own hands.

And the remaining young knights of Fecharon are even more loyal and more than enough to serve as guards.

Leni could feel that Dean had left two of his right-hand men and half of his men to help and protect her.

And it is precisely because of this that she needs to fulfill Dean's entrustment.

Of course, there are some things that need to be put on the agenda.

"Uncle Hawke, I already understand the composition of the spell of the 'Flash Technique', but I still have some doubts about spell construction!"

"I'll help you out!"

Such a conversation resounded in Dean's study.

With only two hours of private time, Leni chose her mother's path.

Lack of strength!

This has become Lennie's own heart disease.

Even if Dean didn't say anything, some subconscious actions were enough for the smart Lenny to understand what he needed to do and what he had to do.

Although because of the death of her mother, Leni was a little resistant to these spells.

But she thought of Dean's concerns, and the resistance began to melt away quickly, making her more perfect to throw herself into it.

And the blood that was conceived in her body began to resonate with a trace -

Wow!

After the low sound, the blazing white light in the entire study flashed.

……

Dean and his party, who started from Horn Town, did not enter the Emerald City again, but followed the path straight south.

And counting from the one hundred and fifty kilometers to the south of the Emerald Capital, there are the three southern counties.

It consists of Katyu-gun, the closest to the Emerald Capital, Meili in the middle, and Nangang-gun, the southernmost county.

They all belong to the territory of the Emerald Grand Duke.

Therefore, most people think that the three southern counties are the principalities of the Emerald Grand Duke.

However, the duchy was not large, and the territory of the three counties together was similar in size to Yorkshire - except that Yorkshire was large enough, it could only be said that the area of the southern part of the Emerald was not large.

In fact, as the Emerald Mountains became higher and steeper, dividing Emerald and Siti in two, and facing Gaosai across the sea, the south was quite barren in the early days.

After hundreds of years of development, it gradually became prosperous because of the emergence of large sailing ships.

And the real reason for the prosperity of the Emerald South is because of the emergence of the Free Federation - located on the island chain, the Free Federation headed by the three islands of trade, military ports, and secret laws is the main trade object of the Emerald South, and the free federation of grain, cloth, and wine in the Emerald Kingdom is exported, and the free federation is exchanged for various spells and technologies.

Especially on the Secret Law Island, the wizard rooms are quite commendable.

On the way south, although he had not yet set foot in the territory of the three southern counties, Dean thought of his experience in the Free Federation.

To sum up: pain and happiness.

There is the joy of harvesting, but also the pain of bearing the truth.

Call!

And this memory made Dean let out a long breath.

"What's wrong?"

The Grand Duke Swordsman asked very keenly.

"I think of some bittersweet memories - I guess it's the timidity of home!"

Dean used such words as a cover.

Fortunately, such words are very much in line with the current situation, and the Grand Duke Swordsman does not have the slightest doubt.

However, this swordsman is vigilant all around-

"Didn't you notice, is there something wrong with the situation?"

The voice of the Grand Duke Swordsman was very low.

"We were followed by a group of fellows, and in front of us there was a group of fellows in ambush - mercenaries behind us, and the chaotic way of moving forward, and the dust kicked up was too conspicuous; As for the ambush ahead, it seems to be in line with the usual practice of the Thieves' Guild...... Stop it! ”

Dean glanced back and forth, then shouted.

"Everybody stand guard! Instructor, I'll leave it to you for the time being - I'll get rid of the tail behind me first, or it will be a nuisance to get caught in the front and back! ”

Dean shouted to his subordinates, and then said to the Grand Duke Swordsman.

"Well, I'll leave it to you!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman knew that what Dean said was reasonable, and immediately nodded.

After all, it was still about two hours away from the place where the Count of Katyu was picked-up, and if something happened, it would be absolutely difficult to help.

So, be careful.

Dean turned his horse's head around and ran straight away.

And those who stayed in place, under the deployment of the Grand Duke Swordsman, arranged a defensive formation, quietly waiting for Dean's return.

As for what went wrong?

No one would think so.

After all, everyone knows what kind of mercenaries near the Emerald Capital are - compared to the four northern counties, there are still some mercenaries with some combat effectiveness, and the mercenaries of the Emerald Capital, if you put aside those playful and curious noble children, they are completely a group of ruffians. People.

Such an enemy, not to mention Dean, is no problem even with a few young people around.

The only thing to consider is the number of people on the other side.

Of course, that's why Dean returned.

After all, an XP value is very small, but when it adds up, it's quite a lot, isn't it?
