The back garden of the Marquis Mansion was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the gardening green plants turned into snow walls and ice and snow sculptures, and the corridors have been cleared.
Marquis Luther walked in front, leaving a clear footprint on the snow with his thick long leather boots. Suldak followed obediently behind. Although the back garden of the Marquis Mansion is very beautiful, it is very
Deserted.
This is the best location in the aristocratic area of Bena City. You can see the high tower of Duke Newman's Palace from the back garden.
The sky was blue, the air was crisp, and gusts of cold wind carried shards of ice and snow, blowing against the face like sharp little blades.
Mrs. Mabel's three daughters were married off after the Harvest Festival. Marquis Luther was fighting in the Nassar plane at the time and did not attend the wedding of the three daughters. However, the dowry was not inferior to that of any noble. Compared with the sea
Sevi's dowry probably just lacked a city.
The daughters were all married, and the Marquis's Mansion seemed much deserted.
Marquis Luther has no sons, and everyone knows that the first heir to the Luther family is Hathaway, so Suldak has become half the owner of this place.
The pavilion in the back garden was cleaned out by the attendants. Marquis Luther walked into the pavilion and looked at the snowy scene in the backyard. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood.
Mrs. Marian led a group of maids to bring out steaming tea. When Suldak saw Mrs. Marian approaching from a distance, he immediately walked out of the pavilion and saluted Mrs. Marian.
Lady Marian has nothing to be dissatisfied with this young man who has grown from a little knight step by step to the son-in-law of a major lord in the province of Bena. This young man has good chivalry, justice, humility, and compassion.
,courage……
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but admire her husband's vicious eyes.
"What are you going to do next?" Marquis Luther held his hands on the cold railing, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows were like those carved by an axe.
"In the spring, the Lord's Army will continue to explore the Three Rivers Plain. I am preparing to achieve the goal of occupying the entire Three Rivers Plain before summer." Suldak took a cup of hot tea handed over by Lady Marian and said to Marquis Luther.
Marquis Luther knew the situation in the Bailin plane very well. He turned his head and asked in surprise: "Oh? Then what method have you come up with to deal with those red-backed giant turtles?"
"Take advantage of the dry season to let them come out of the lake, and then let the ghost-striped soldier ants spend their lives..." Surdak said casually.
Marquis Luther took a breath, obviously ignoring this matter.
When Surdak occupied the Dark Worm Valley, he also conquered the ghost-marked red ants. He was fully capable of controlling those ghost-marked red ants. Marquis Luther suddenly discovered that the greatest value of these ghost-marked red ants was not the demons in their bodies.
Instead of cores and hard armor, it can become the cheapest cannon fodder on the battlefield...
"Try to do this kind of thing as secretly as possible."
Marquis Luther wanted to say something, then turned to look at Suldak, and found that he was standing beside him with a calm face, so he gave Suldak some more advice:
"Your territory has risen too fast, and the power you possess has clearly threatened the real big lords of the Bena Province. They will even worry about the power you control once you take over the lord army of the Luther family in the future.
It will break the balance of forces in Bena Province, so in the next period of time, you'd better restrain yourself."
Surdak nodded and said: "I understand, this time I have decided to give up the territorial allocation of the Three Rivers Plain. Regardless of whether the war on the Bailin plane can end before summer, I will return to Rui before the end of spring.
Special City will accompany Hathaway."
Seeing that Marquis Luther did not say anything, Surdak continued: "Ruyt City has already saved enough construction funds. The wealth gained from this plane war is enough to support the construction of the road to the north of the tower, as well as the city.
Expansion of the garden.”
"In addition, Invercargill Forest and Dark Worm Valley also need time to stabilize their situation, so I plan to return to Ruyter City to live for a while."
Surdak talked about his plans for the next six months.
Marquis Luther asked Suldak: "What are you going to do about those rocs in the north?"
Without thinking, Suldak said: "The second batch of orders for sky-shooting crossbows has been sent out. This time I plan to order five three-masted magic airships. I plan to build an airport terminal in the Bailin plane.
Sky-shooting crossbows and magic airships form the initial force of air combat to suppress the Pengniao's activity area."
Marquis Luther did not expect that Surdak would buy five magic airships at once. You must know that the price of an ordinary magic airship is about 2,000 magic crystals, and the price of a large magic airship is doubled.
, and also to train the captain and crew of the airship. Each airship represents a huge expense.
"It seems that you gained a lot from the ghost-striped red ants this time." Marquis Luther said to Suldak.
Suldak nodded and said: "And some of the profits will be continuous... By the way, I brought a gift to you and Mrs. Marian this time."
With that said, Surdak took out a magic-sealing box from his magic belt. This was a No. 3 magic-sealing box. It didn't look like anything special. After Surdak opened the magic-sealing box,
Rolls of red and black-striped magic skin were exposed inside.
Marquis Luther looked over curiously and said, "Oh? I thought the supplies you brought over in the carriage were gifts to us!"
Surdak chuckled and said: "Those are just some trophies that I want you to share with Mrs. Marian. They are not gifts."
With that said, Surdak picked out two rolls of magic skin from the magic sealing box and placed them on the stone platform in the pavilion.
"What is this?" Marquis Luther looked at the magic skin scroll and asked curiously.
It's not that Marquis Luther has never seen magic scrolls before. The magic scrolls made by magicians are much more refined than these magic skin scrolls, so he asked this question.
Surdak did not hide anything and said frankly: "This is a magic pattern that can strengthen the body. Different from the inscription master's magic pattern construction, this kind of magic pattern does not need to be painted on, but the entire piece of magic skin is directly implanted.
Body."
Surdak unfolded the magic skin. It was peeled off from the giant ghost-striped soldier ants, so it was square, but the edges were a little irregular.
"My carrying capacity is almost at full capacity now..." Marquis Luther said to Suldak.
As people reach middle age, their physical fitness declines year by year, so even their own carrying capacity also decreases. Suldak did not expect that Marquis Luther could maintain his carrying capacity so well.
Suldak explained: "This actually does not require much carrying capacity, so I also prepared a copy of this type of magic pattern for Mrs. Marian."
When Marquis Luther heard what Suldak said, he asked curiously: "Then what benefits can this magic pattern bring to me?"
"Build some strength and stamina." Surdak replied.
Marquis Luther's eyes lit up slightly, and then he said: "It seems that I really can't refuse!"
Then he was a little curious about what magic pattern Suldak had prepared for Marianne, so he asked: "Then what did you prepare for Marianne?"
Surdak quickly unfolded the second magic skin, pointed to the magic pattern on it and said: "Agility and balance will make Madam's dance more graceful at the ball."
Hearing that Suldak actually prepared a magic skin for herself, Mrs. Marian said with some curiosity: "Dak, although I learned some swordsmanship when I was young, I was not even a first-level swordsman.
So are you sure I can use this magic skin?"
"Of course, Mrs. Marian, this is what I have carefully prepared for you!" Suldak said confidently.
Probably because Marquis Luther and Lady Marianne were both looking forward to it, the originally sumptuous dinner was tasteless.
Marquis Luther is also planning to take Suldak to a dance held by the lords of Bena City, allowing him to take the opportunity to get to know some of the upper class nobles in Bena City. He will attend the dance because he will be preparing to implant the magic skin in the evening.
Also canceled.
In the guest room on the second floor, Suldak spent half the night and finally implanted two life magic patterns on Marquis Luther and Lady Marian.
Marquis Luther is himself a second-level swordsman. He has two magic patterns drawn by the master of inscriptions, one on his lower abdomen and one on his thighs. So Surdak implanted these magic patterns this time.
The process on Marquis Luther's left chest was of course very successful. After all, Suldak had successfully implanted at least hundreds of these magic patterns.
Feeling the sudden power in his body, Marquis Luther said to Suldak with emotion: "Now I finally know why Speaker Fred always looks at you differently. When you rescued him, did you also give him a favor?"
Implanting such a magic pattern and thus improving his body?"
Although Surdak didn't speak, he didn't deny it either.
Suldak thought a lot about implanting the magic skin for Lady Marianne, but the magic pattern was not too complicated, so in the end Lady Marianne decided to implant it on her calf.
After the magic pattern was successfully implanted into Mrs. Marian's right calf, she stood up from the sofa and took a step forward. There was an obvious feeling of being stuck in the air in her legs. When she stepped out,
It seems extremely light.
"What a wonderful ability. I really hope this is a nourishing magic pattern. That will at least make my skin look younger..." Mrs. Marian stood in the center of the room, lifted up her petticoat, and stared at the magic pattern engraved on herself.
The calf sighed.
Suldak stared at Madam Marian speechlessly and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Because in addition to this magic pattern of rapid and balanced life growth, he really had a magic pattern of nourishment, but he felt that the magic pattern was useless and did not take it out.
Lady Marianne couldn't wait to dance with Marquis Luther in the living room. Her graceful dance made her look like a forest elf dancing on flower petals.
She whispered to Marquis Luther in a good mood: "I think... the reason why the elves have such a high talent for dancing is that they probably have this kind of magic pattern somewhere on their bodies..."
