Chapter 150: The Watcher

This was a test that was not really a test!

After all, Dean had already shown his talent in terms of strength and proved his excellence, so whether he was qualified in other aspects became a point Marquis Vauban needed to consider.

One had to know that Dean’s title of Lord was conferred by Marquis Vauban.

If he was just a brute who only knew how to wave a longsword, then at some Noble gatherings, he would inevitably become the object of ridicule by others, and by association, Marquis Vauban would also be implicated.

Out of consideration for his own reputation, Marquis Vauban had to confirm this point.

And fortunately, Dean performed very well, making Marquis Vauban feel satisfied.

At the very least, it saved him the trouble of finding a Tutor for Dean.

“Rest well, I look forward to seeing you in a week!”

Marquis Vauban bid his final farewell.

“See you in a week!”

Dean watched Marquis Vauban leave.

The room door closed once again, and Dean struggled to get out of bed; he placed the Contract for the shop on the head of the bed, while his gaze examined the weapon and armor inside the box—

【Light Sharp Knight Sword】

【Type: Standard Longsword】

【Weight: 2.9kg】

【Length: Blade length 4 feet】

【Special Effects: 1, Swift; 2, Sharp】

【Swift: The magic runes engraved on it effectively reduce the weight, and furthermore, increase the speed of swinging the sword】(Gain a +0.2 Agility advantage in judgment)

【Sharp: The blade has undergone special treatment, increasing its sharpness by 1】(A sharpness of 1 is equivalent to being able to easily pierce through an ordinary Steel Armor)

【Description: This is a Magic Longsword that can be called a masterpiece, into which the Forger poured a great deal of effort】

【Note: Below the hilt, it is engraved with ‘Little Tom, wave your longsword, it not only makes you faster, but also incomparably sharp’】

【Weight-Reducing Solid Steel Armor】

【Type: Standard Steel Armor】

【Weight: 42kg】

【Specifications: Normal human range】

【Special Effects: 1, Weight Reduction; 2, Sturdiness】

【Weight Reduction: Using magic runes, half of the original weight is removed】

【Sturdiness: During the forging process of a thousand hammer blows, a certain special material was added, making this Steel Armor provide you with an extra 1 point of protection】(Note: Every 1 point of sturdiness is equivalent to one Steel Armor)

【Description: Is there anything more loved by Knights than an Armor that is both sturdy and lightweight?】

【Note: It still has room for modification, but the premise is, you need to find a highly skilled Wizard to help you】

Under the System’s annotations, the two Magic Items displayed their respective attributes.

Whether it was the 【Light Sharp Knight Sword】 or the 【Weight-Reducing Solid Steel Armor】, both satisfied Dean greatly; clearly, in a short time, possessing these two Magic Items, he no longer needed to worry about weapons and Armor.

As for the 【Dragon Head Greatsword】?

As the Sword of the Conqueror King, if there was no way to change its appearance, Dean would not bring it out.

As for the 【Weight-Reducing Solid Steel Armor】 being Half-Body Armor?

In fact, with Dean’s combat style, Half-Body Armor was just right!

If his whole body was wrapped in a steel shell, although defense would greatly increase, Agility would be greatly dragged down—the Knights of Goth really liked full body armor, because they advocated Strength, whereas in Emerald, the combat style focusing on Agility and skills made the Knights of Emerald prefer this kind of Half-Body Armor.

And in City?

The kind of Armor that looked like it was covered in steel studs all over the body, like a hedgehog, after mixing leather armor and Steel Armor, was just like their Sword Technique style, aggressive.

As for the more distant country, White Night?

That country, which brought skills to the limit, preferred cloth clothing.

Closing the box containing the Longsword and Armor again, Dean did not intend to put them on right now—his current body did not allow him to do these things.

Just as Dean was preparing to move his body slightly around his bed, footsteps came again, followed immediately by a rhythmic knocking sound—

Dong dong, dong dong…

“Come in!”

Dean said.

The young lady of the Tier Baron Family pushed the door open and walked in; this young lady did not speak immediately, but scanned the two extra boxes in the room, as well as the Contract Dean had placed by the head of the bed without hiding it.

With surprise and relief in her eyes, this young lady finally rested her gaze on Dean, and slowly asked: “You really obtained a title?”

“Yes, a Lord!”

Dean nodded, not concealing it.

After all, such a thing, with the passage of time, would soon spread throughout Vauban County; there was nothing for him to hide.

However, the young lady of the Tier Baron Family was a bit nervous; immediately after Dean’s voice fell, she began to ask rapidly: “Is it for life? Or…”

“It is inheritable!”

Dean said bluntly.

“Is that so?”

The young lady of the Tier Baron Family whispered to herself, her face clearly showing a sense of loss, however, quickly, this sense of loss disappeared, and this young lady looked at Dean, saying with a touch of feigned pride: “Since it is an inheritable title, then you must have your own Territory or industry now, right? I think Huck is capable of the position of Ferrchelen Knight Order Regiment Commander…”

“Miss Lily, although I possess a title now, it does not mean I will leave Tier Territory!”

Dean interrupted this Baron Family’s young lady who was talking to herself.

“What do you mean?”

The Baron Family’s young lady was stunned.

“Very simple: I do not plan to leave Tier Territory, nor do I plan to give up the position of Ferrchelen Knight Order Regiment Commander—I will stay in my position, exchanging more military merit for my own honors… I do not think the position of a Lord represents the restoration of my Ancestor’s honor!”

Facing the obviously mistaken Baron Family’s young lady, Dean explained very seriously.

Dean did not want any bad rumors to spread, affecting his control over the Ferrchelen Knight Order—for the current Dean, the Ferrchelen Knight Order was almost his forbidden ground, and no one could interfere.

After all, this was one of his most important capitals for participating in the Blood Moon War.

“Are you serious?”

The Baron Family’s young lady froze, then, asked subconsciously.

“I don’t think I need to lie!”

Dean replied in an equally serious tone.

“So it is, that is really too good… Hmph, what are you looking at, don’t think that just because you are a Lord, I will be polite to you—Tier Territory is my Father’s Territory!”

The Baron Family’s young lady muttered to herself, then, when she noticed Dean’s strange gaze, she immediately jumped up from the chair, shouting loudly, and then, ran out of the room.

Dean, left in the room, looked at the door that had been rudely closed, and couldn’t help but shrug his shoulders—

Some things, even if they appeared, were destined not to be cared about by Dean.

Because, he didn’t have the extra Stamina to take care of these.

Supporting himself by the head of the bed, Dean stood up again, and he began to move his weak body around the bed; although he was still in a period of weakness, this did not mean Dean could do nothing.

Only by making the Blood flow quickly could he recover to his peak state as soon as possible after the weakness period ended.

…

The sun set and rose, and the candles in the room were lit and extinguished.

After ensuring a full afternoon of ample exercise and a full night’s sleep, in the early morning, Dean felt the sense of weakness in his body greatly reduced.

Although he had not yet reached the state of his true peak, the ‘penalties’ on his character panel had all disappeared.

Clearly, yesterday’s exercise, and the increase in professional level, especially the latter, had shortened the time of weakness.

“It should be fully recovered around noon!”

Dean speculated like this based on his body’s condition.

Then, Dean changed into the knight’s uniform bearing the Tier Territory badge, pushed open the door, and walked out.

In the early morning, the slightly damp and cold air of Vauban City lifted Dean’s spirits, as if that sense of weakness had lessened a bit more—of course, that was a real illusion.

However, this did not hinder Dean from walking quickly toward the training ground of the residence.

There, the young people of the Ferrchelen Knight Order had already started another day of training.

And when they saw Dean appear, these young people were all stunned, and then, excitement and joy appeared on their faces—clearly, the news that Dean was seriously injured and conferred as a Lord, and was going to leave Tier Territory, had made these young people very worried.

However, when Dean, wearing the Tier Territory badge, appeared in front of them.

Immediately, these young people let out a long sigh of relief.

Being able to stand here naturally showed that his body was recovering, and the milky-white Shield on the knight’s uniform naturally explained everything.

“Regiment Commander!”

“Regiment Commander!”

The young people, including the Vice Regiment Commander Huck, were all shouting loudly.

“Yes, continue training!”

Dean nodded with a smile, and then instructed his deputy.

“Yes!”

Huck answered loudly, and then, the morning training of the entire Ferrchelen Knight Order began—however, anyone paying attention here would discover that the Ferrchelen Knight Order had undergone a slight change; although they were training before, the current training was even more impressive.

As if… it had woken up from a deep sleep.

The figure standing on the side of the training ground evaluated it this way.

Then, looking at Dean, the hateful gaze gained a trace more vigilance.

And Dean stood there as if he hadn’t noticed, watching his subordinates train.

It was not until the morning training ended and breakfast began, that Dean gave a wink to his deputy.

The latter, immediately understanding, followed behind Dean and left the restaurant.
