Marquis Luther and Lady Marian sat side by side at the head of the dining table, with Lady Mabel and Lady Sisi on both sides. The other three daughters sat beside Lady Mabel.
Suldak sat directly opposite Marquis Luther. The dining table was very long and almost filled with exquisite food.
As all the ladies know, Marquis Luther admired Suldak very much. He not only married his favorite daughter Hathaway to Suldak, but also gave the entire Luyint City to Suldak as a dowry.
Now that Suldak has successfully returned to the Bena Province from the battlefield, everyone has discovered how unique Marquis Luther's vision is.
When Marquis Luther first met Surdak, he was just a little-known ordinary knight in the guard camp of Helensa City, but now he has not only been promoted to an earl, but also a second-level strongman.
He had participated in several battles and had some outstanding performances, and now he was able to sit at the dinner table and talk to Marquis Luther.
The more Mrs. Mabel saw that Suldak performed extremely well in all aspects, the more she regretted it. It was definitely the second major mistake in her life that she could not let her daughter marry this young man...
The first major mistake in her life was that when she was young, she secretly had an affair with a young viscount in Bena City while Marquis Luther was on an expedition to the Brenonu plane. Unfortunately, the viscount fell in love with him while drinking.
, told this affair to her friends, and somehow it reached the ears of Marquis Luther, so that Marquis Luther always suspected that none of the three daughters born to Mrs. Mabel were of Luther family blood.
It is precisely for this reason that Marquis Luther does not like Mrs. Mabel and her three daughters...
If it weren't for the close relationship between the family behind Mrs. Mabel and the Constructed Swordsman Group controlled by Marquis Luther, Mrs. Mabel might have been kicked out of the Marquis Mansion by Marquis Luther.
Now looking at Suldak who was slowly cutting the barbecue with a knife, Mrs. Mabel's eyes were full of unwillingness.
Compared to Mrs. Mabel's unwillingness, Mrs. Marian's smile was much more cordial. She asked Suldak: "Dak, after serving on the battlefield, when can I return to Luyin?"
Special city?"
Suldak put down the knife in his hand, wiped his mouth and said calmly:
"It will be around the end of the month. Before that, I will go to the Invercargill Forest territory in the Bailin plane for a tour. There is an iron mine there that has not been built. I am going to organize an iron mine there.
Preparatory work!”
Mrs. Marian glanced at Marquis Luther and complained: "Ferdinand, if you hadn't asked Dak to form a cavalry battalion and go to the Bailin plane to garrison, I guess he wouldn't have to run so hard on both sides. Now Bailin also has a piece of land.
The territory also needs to be managed, and most of the Ganbu plane needs to be rebuilt, which is really enough for him to keep busy..."
"Territory, what noble lord would think that he has too much territory?" Marquis Luther laughed and said: "Besides, there is nothing wrong with working more when you are young. Otherwise, you can write to Hathaway,
Let her come to Bena City, and when she arrives in Bena, she can take the magic airship back to Luyint with Dak..."
"That's a good idea. Speaking of which, I really miss her!" Mrs. Marianne said as she called the maid beside her, reminding herself to do this later.
Suldak also did not expect that Marquis Luther asked Lady Marian to write a letter to Hathaway, asking her to come to Bena City just so that she could return to Luyint City with him at the end of the month.
Suldak was still a little reluctant to let Hathaway travel thousands of miles to greet him in a magic airship.
But Mrs. Marianne said that she missed her daughter, so he could not stop her. He could only sit opposite and carefully eat the roasted plesiosaur meat on the plate.
Seeing that Suldak, Marquis Luther, and Lady Marian were getting along so well, Lady Mabel felt as if there was a gauze tightly twisted around her chest. The dullness and oppression made her unable to breathe.
"When you are in Bena City, remember to participate in more activities, such as operas, dances, or manor hunting. If you need invitations, come to me at any time to choose. Although these activities are a bit boring, they can allow you to expand some connections.
This will be helpful to your future development."
Marquis Luther warned Suldak when the dinner was about to end.
Suldak took a sip of the sweet wine, and then agreed: "Okay, if there is enough time and it suits me, I will participate. But I am more looking forward to attending these dances with Hathaway. After all, some of the dances
I don’t know much about etiquette at all, and I’m worried that I might embarrass myself at the dance!”
Only then did Marquis Luther realize that two years ago, Suldak was still a knight who had little contact with the aristocracy and upper class society...
I am even more satisfied with Surdak's caution and etiquette.
After dinner, Marquis Luther and Lady Marian asked Suldak to stay at the Marquis Mansion, and Suldak agreed after thinking about it.
However, the residence arranged for him this time is no longer the special guest room, but Hathaway's room in Marquis Luther's Mansion. This room still retains the appearance when Hathaway left it, with all the furniture and furnishings.
Nothing has changed, only some of Hathaway's beloved things have been brought to Luyint City.
This room at the top of the tower was originally Hathaway's place of confinement. Later, after living there and getting used to it, Hathaway moved her bedroom here.
This bedroom is so large that the big bed surrounded by gauze curtains seems to only occupy a small corner of the room. There are some musical instruments in the room, and there are also several long strings inlaid with gems hanging on the wall.
Swords, but these long swords are not the ones Hathaway usually uses. Hathaway's long sword has been brought to Luyint City by her.
Suldak casually pulled out a long sword, only to feel that the edge of the sword showed a dull blue color...
But he prefers the broad sword on his waist. After all, he is used to it. Next to the wall where the long sword is hung, there is a large open space with a thick carpet on the ground and a wall.
There are two wooden figures practicing sword skills.
Hathaway also graduated from the Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy, so she also practices swordsmanship in her spare time.
During the period of confinement, her sword practice place was moved to this spacious bedroom.
The bathroom and the bedroom are also together. There is no partition at all. There is only a gauze curtain separating the bedroom and the bathroom. Suldak wonders whether such a large room will be very cold in winter...
The bedding and blankets on the bed were very dry in the sun, and you could smell the sun's rays when you walked in.
Surdak sat down beside the big soft bed. Just as he was about to lift his feet and take off his heavy boots, the maid who had just led him over was already squatting on one knee in front of Surdak and helping him take off his boots.
, and placed a pair of soft slippers at his feet.
There is a maid filling the hot water in the bathroom.
Although Surdak was not used to it, he still took off the magic pattern structure on his body with the help of the maid. It felt really good to have someone serving him by his side. He stretched out his hand slightly and took off his leather armor and jacket.
However, what happened next was somewhat unacceptable to Surdak. The maid next to Madam Marian had already begun to roll up her sleeves, and she clearly wanted to help Surdak take a bath...
"I can do the rest by myself! You can go and rest..."
Surdak stood beside the bathtub and refused.
The maids bowed their knees to Surdak and then bowed their heads and retreated.
Suldak only stayed at the Marquis Luther's Mansion for one night, and he bid farewell to Marquis Luther early the next morning.
"I thought you would stay in Bena City for two days..."
Marquis Luther stood at the bottom of the steps and said to Suldak who was holding the horse.
Suldak said: "I want to deal with the matter on the Invercargill Forest side as soon as possible. After making preparations, I will move the steel workshop on the Luyint side..."
"Come back as soon as possible after finishing your work on Bai Lin's plane. Hathaway should be here by then!"
Marquis Luther ordered to Suldak.
"I will come back as soon as possible..."
After Suldak finished speaking, he quickly saluted Marquis Luther and Lady Marian, and then rode away...
…
Suldak took the pass to the Bailin plane and led the team members to enter the Bailin plane through the portal in the back garden of Duke Newman's Mansion very smoothly.
The Wilkes in front of you is like an extension of Bena City in another dimension. Almost all the architectural styles are the same. Walking out of the lively square of Wilkes City, you can still see the people lined up on the edge of the square.
A long line of business groups.
The northern part of the White Forest Plane is vast, with vast areas of pasture everywhere. Unfortunately, what grows on the White Forest Plane is a kind of white-stem glass grass. This kind of pasture is not suitable for raising black-scaled horses and green-scaled horses. What kind of grass is there?
The ancient Bolai horses that eat everything can live here.
Nearly a thousand Gubo horses were circled in front of the square, and they seemed to be preparing to enter Bena City in the evening.
The Suldak team did not stop in Wilkes City. They bought three ancient Boreal horses at the horse market that day. The group of six passed through the north gate of Wilkes City and walked along a river.
Head all the way north.
Probably because he had not seen such a vast grassland for a long time, Frostwolf Bonita rushed out first, carrying the wolf knight Taigo.
Compared with human cavalry, wolf cavalry has stronger endurance and is also the most loyal fighting partner of wolf cavalry. On the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of a frost wolf is no worse than that of wolf cavalry.
But the shortcomings of the Wolf Cavalry are also very obvious, that is, they lack explosive power and collision force. When the legions were fighting, they were completely crushed by the Construct Knights...
However, in the case of individual combat, a wolf cavalry and a construct knight are duel. As long as it can withstand the charge of the construct knight, the balance of victory will tilt infinitely towards the wolf cavalry.
There are also many wolves on the grasslands of the White Forest plane, but frost wolves have never appeared here.
So when this frost wolf appeared on the grassland, the original herders who were grazing came from all directions on the grassland on horseback. They were very worried that this frost wolf would give birth to offspring on this grassland, but when they found out
Now that Bonita is a female wolf, these indigenous herders feel more at ease.
But he still presented twelve oxen and twelve yellow sheep as tribute to Tiger, hoping that he could restrain his fighting partners and never leave such terrible descendants of monsters on the grassland.
Tiger, the orc of the wolf tribe, accepted these tributes almost with a grim face.
What these herdsmen said was simply an insult to Bonita.
Bonita is Tago's lifelong partner. For Bonita, he will not even marry another female orc.
So Bonita will only give birth to stronger orcs in the future...
But after all, they were twelve oxen and twelve yellow sheep. Under the strong request of Bonita and Gulitem, the wolf orc Tigo made a very solemn promise to these aboriginal herdsmen that he would not do anything here.
There is no trace of Bonita's blood left on the prairie.
In order to be able to ride the ancient Bolai horse, Carrie Decker could not wear the heavy armor with magic patterns. She could only wear a leather jacket casually. Her tall figure made her look heroic on horseback.
She and Samira often race horses on the pasture. Although Gary Decker is a better horseman, the lithe Samira wins more times.
It was originally a seven-day journey from Wilkes City to the town of Dodan, but Suldak's team extended the journey time every day, so in the evening of the fifth day, Suldak saw the town of Dodan.
That war college in the south.
In the afterglow of the scorching sun, the battlefield academy in Duodan Town seemed to have a golden edge.
At this moment, Duodan Town is hidden in the shadow of Duodan Canyon, with only the rolling Duodan River still sparkling in the sunset.
The row of riverside wooden houses on the river bank are neat and exquisite, and the melodious bells from the church can be heard in the distance.
A group of sheep herders were driving the sheep back to the sheepfold outside the town. When the sheep saw Bonita, they collapsed on the grass and refused to take another step forward even though the children were beating them with whips.
.
In this way, Surdak led his combat team into the town of Dodan.
Entering Dodan Town, Surdak discovered that this town had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to a year ago. The busiest streets in the town were lined with various shops, some adventure groups and mercenaries.
The soldiers of the regiment were wandering on this noisy long street, and the aroma of various delicacies wafted from the restaurants on the street.
Along the way, Surdak saw seven or eight open taverns.
However, there is still only one bakery in the town. When Suldak passed by the bakery, there was still a long queue outside the bakery. This bakery still only sold roasted wheat sprinkled with some salt.
pancakes and whole wheat bread, but it almost monopolizes the town's bread industry.
There is no secret at all. Duodan Town will allocate part of the financial subsidy every month to sell extremely low-priced wheat flour to the bakery. The bakery also operates the bakery with extremely low profits. Currently, every wheat cake in the town
I still only bought two copper coins. At this price in Wilkes City, I couldn’t even buy the same amount of wheat flour...
In order to enjoy this benefit, some mercenary groups and adventure groups basically hire one or two locals in each team. Only in this way can they purchase these cheap foods.
