The magic caravan is driving on the mountain road of Oak Ridge. The snow makes the mountains and fields white, and the falcons are lingering in the blue sky.
In the mountains, a gray hare jumped out of the snow cave. It could fly several meters away with every jump, but the falcon still pounced on the gray rabbit like a falling meteor. The falcon accurately
It jumped behind the hare, opened its wings suddenly the moment it landed, and grabbed the hare's back with its strong claws. The eagle and the hare rolled several times on the hillside, and the harrier finally climbed up the snow slope with difficulty.
Get up.
Both claws just grabbed the limp rabbit and flew into the air again.
Old Sheila's eyes fell back to the carriage from the snowy scene outside the window, looking at Surdak opposite who was wearing a set of exquisite armor.
She knew that the wealthy life in front of her family was all earned by this man from the battlefield.
The Green Empire has a universal military recruitment system, and a large number of soldiers die on the battlefield every year. For civilians, if they can come back alive on the battlefield, then their life has officially begun.
In the past, what the village of Wall was most afraid of was letters sent back from distant places, because that letter was likely to be bad news.
Because civilian soldiers go to the battlefield and rarely make money on the battlefield...
A falcon in the mountains has to fight for its life in the snow-covered world for a rabbit. Surdak is now leading an army to fight outside. I really don't know what kind of pressure he needs to bear.
She closed her aching eyes, and little Peter stayed with old Sheila, pulling up the blanket on her knees.
Suldak, who was sitting opposite, raised his head and realized that little Peter had really grown up a lot, as if he had transformed from a childish child into a well-behaved boy all of a sudden.
He rubbed his hands and warned little Peter again:
"The recent period is the best time for you to learn meditation and magic perception. You must complete the exercises that Captain Gerald asks you to do seriously and don't be tired. He is considered the most outstanding magician in Helensa City.
Master."
Little Peter complained to Suldak with a grimace:
"Father, I don't really like the profession of magician. I wear black robes every day and lock myself in the laboratory of the magic tower. What fun can I have?"
Suldak reached out and touched little Peter's hair, and said to him seriously: "As long as you awaken the magic pool, you can become a magician noble. Do you know what that means?"
Little Peter shook his head with a confused expression.
"Then you will know that being able to walk into that gorgeous magic tower will arouse the envy of many peers, and when a flame condenses in your hand, how different your life will be!" Surdak said to
Little Peter drew a pie and added: "When you come of age, countless nobles will come to your door and ask you to marry their beautiful daughters to you, and they will also bring a generous dowry."
As he spoke, Suldak smiled slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting.
"But I want to be an excellent knight like you." Little Peter expressed his ideal.
Surdak shook his head and said: "If you have magic talent, I hope you can become a magician, because on the road of knighthood, you will meet more competitors, and you may not be able to obtain the Holy Light.
The favor of... So I hope you can try to participate in the awakening ceremony. If you can't become a magician, it's still too late to go to the Knight Academy."
Listening to Suldak planning little Peter's future in such detail, old Sheila's eyes rarely showed a trace of softness.
In her blurred vision, little Peter looked like Duck when he was a child. Even his personality and some small movements were exactly the same, so little Peter was the softest place in her numb heart.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Little Peter agreed obediently.
The wheels of the magic caravan crushed the ice and snow on the road, and passed through the south gate of Helensa City before the city gate closed. A group of knights standing at the city gate stood neatly on the suspension bridge and walked in the direction of the carriage.
Standard military salute.
Although Surdak was too lazy to say hello to them, he still had to push open the door and raised his hand to greet the knights.
Seeing those knights sucking their fat bellies into their chests and saluting his father with serious faces, little Peter felt very proud.
A gorgeous magic caravan was parked on the roadside at the city gate, and the emblem on the car was the emblem of the Christie family.
As Suldak's carriage drove slowly by, the door suddenly opened, revealing the thin face of Darcy Christie. The news of Suldak's return to Hellanza, except for Natasha, was in the city.
, only Karl knew that it seemed that his good friend had passed the news to Lady Mariana.
"Stop!"
Surdak shouted to the coachman.
The coachman cleverly drove the magic caravan to the side of the road. The two ancient Bolai horses, which were spitting out this white vapor, paved the ground with their hooves somewhat restlessly.
The coachman quickly jumped out of the driver's seat and took out a huge towel to wipe the sweat from the steaming horses. In this weather, once the sweat on the horses' bodies condensed into ice, they would easily get sick.
Suldak jumped out of the carriage and looked behind him.
Darcy Christie, who was wearing an aristocratic dress and a silver fur scarf around her neck, stepped out of the magic caravan and looked over with sharp eyes. She seemed to be here specifically to wait for Suldak.
Surdak strode over, his leather boots crunching against the snow.
"I heard you were back, and I wanted to see you." A smile appeared on Darcy's face, but her voice was a bit cold.
Probably those who have walked back from the Styx River's ferry will become stronger in character. She now has a full aura.
"If you want to talk to me about anything, you can send someone to deliver a message to me." Suldak said to Darcy.
Seeing Darcy, he couldn't help but remind him of Baron Armand Dacuni who was hiding in the Dunstan family. Suldak had met him several times recently beside Speaker Fred.
"How long can I stay in Helensa City this time?" Darcy stood next to Suldak and spoke next to the low shrub wall on the street.
A group of knights from the Christie family separated the pedestrians so that the two of them could not be disturbed by others.
"Leave tomorrow morning."
Surdak looked at the busy street and it immediately became a little crowded, and frowned.
Darcy chuckled and said, "So if I don't wait for you anymore, I'm afraid I won't see you this time!"
Suldak turned around and looked at Darcy. Although she had fully recovered, she was much thinner. The cheekbones on her face were a little prominent, but her eyes were very bright.
Suldak continued: "I heard from Karl that you manage the city of Helensa quite well. As the governor of Helensa City, as long as you control the army in the city, no one dares to spy on your position, and
After all, we can be considered allies, so if you have any trouble, you can write to me."
Hearing what Suldak said, there was a trace of disappointment in Darcy's eyes. She raised her lips into a very forced smile, with a look of stubbornness and arrogance in her pride. She turned her head so that Suldak couldn't see her.
Full of sadness.
After a short while of silence, more and more magic caravans were crowded on the street.
"Little Peter is still waiting for me over there..." Suldak made an apologetic gesture, indicating that he wanted to leave.
Darcy suddenly turned around and shouted:
"Dak!"
Suldak stopped...
"I seem to have forgotten to say thank you to you..."
Darcy felt that this sentence contained all her strength.
Surdak waved his hand, jumped into the carriage with two big steps, and ordered the carriage driver to move forward.
In the evening in Helensa City, after the sun sets, the shadows in the city gradually increase. The shops on both sides of the street begin to light up their windows full of products, and there is even a hint of barbecue aroma floating in the street.
Perhaps because he stayed on the battlefield for too long, Surdak looked at the strong market atmosphere on the street, and the strong killing atmosphere in his heart became calmer.
…
The magic caravan is parked in front of a row of small townhouses in the magic district. It only takes five minutes to walk from here to the Magic Guild. This is considered a gathering area for magicians. Many magicians live here, so although the house is not big,
But the rent is no cheaper than luxury houses in aristocratic areas.
This house was originally rented by Lance for Suldak because it was very close to the Magic Guild. Little Peter would not have to walk too far to go to the Magic Guild every day, and the magician Gerald was Helensa.
The leader of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Team is usually very busy. Once he can't take care of little Peter, little Peter can just run home.
Suldak walked down from the carriage of the magic caravan first, and the servant quickly ran out to open the door and helped little Peter carry old Sheila out of the carriage.
Natasha stood at the door, holding a thick blanket. When she saw Suldak, her eyes were full of joy and a touch of resentment.
"I'm tired and want to sleep for a while!" Old Sheila said to Natasha, and then closed her eyes.
If Surdak hadn't been accompanying him all the way, old Sheila's physical condition would have been impossible to complete the trip.
"Grandma, let me take you to the room that has been prepared for you." Little Peter took the initiative to step forward and, together with the servants, sent old Sheila to the room that had been prepared for her.
Old Sheila was lying on the big soft bed, holding Little Peter's hand tightly and unwilling to let go.
…
In the living room, Suldak opened his arms towards Natasha. Natasha, who was wearing a home skirt, came over and snuggled into his arms, resting her head on his chest. Her long silky hair made Suldak nervous.
My nose is a little itchy.
She smelled of lavender.
"Sorry, it took me so long to come back to see you." Surdak whispered to Natasha.
Natasha shook her head vigorously, hugged his waist tighter with her hands, and replied in a low voice: "I am very content with my current life, really."
Even if there is a bathing place in the military camp, it is far less comfortable than a bathtub at home, not to mention there is a gentle wife rubbing his back carefully.
The dinner preparation was very simple, including barbecued meatballs, wheat cakes, and cream of mushroom soup, which was warm in the stomach.
The two got into bed naturally. On a winter night, there is no place more comfortable than a warm bed.
Suldak was probably relaxed because he fell asleep without even talking for a few words. Natasha wrapped Suldak tightly from his back.
…
During the battle in the Dark Worm Valley, Surdak also received part of the World Tree's gift.
He felt that since communicating with World Tree, his spiritual consciousness has grown a lot again.
In the dream, Surdak once again walked into the door in the middle of the sea of spiritual consciousness and jumped into the ice sea. He could even stretch his body, wave his arms to wave the cold sea water in front of him, and face the waves on the sea.
Swim towards the land full of ice and snow.
Although the low-temperature sea water almost froze his soul, he still gritted his teeth and persisted...
Until he was exhausted, an arm happened to rest on the ice on the shore. This was not the first time he touched the edge of land.
Surdak struggled to get his body out of the water and lay down on the ice-covered land.
After lying there for a while, he felt that his body was covered with frost, and his body was almost frozen into a popsicle. Then he tried to move his joints a little bit to get up, and walked step by step towards the snow peak despite the ice and snow.
It's obviously just the soul and his own spiritual body climbing the snow peak, making it seem like he has a real body.
It wasn't until he fell down on the snow-covered hillside again that Surdak woke up from his sleep.
He opened his eyes and looked at the sunlight coming in through the cracks in the curtains. It should be getting brighter now. He hugged the quilt and leaned against the bedside with his whole body sore. He felt his stomach growling a little, and he was thinking about getting out of bed to eat something.
, Natasha brought the prepared breakfast to the bedside.
Surdak insisted on getting up and washing up, and then the two of them had a warm breakfast in bed.
Suldak put on the magic pattern structure again, and then went downstairs to say goodbye to old Sheila.
Then he walked out of the villa and boarded the magic caravan that had been waiting outside.
…
The magic caravan carried Suldak to the Garden Hotel in Helensa City. He said hello to Boss Cohen and quickly climbed to the room on the top floor. When he opened the wooden door, he saw Aphrodite's bulging belly.
, was sitting by the window eating a grilled salamander neck.
She saw Surdak walking in, and while holding her grease-covered fingers, she asked Surdak:
"Would you like to go to Ruit City and see those two people again?"
Suldak took a fork and picked out a piece of tender meat from the salamander's neck. He tasted it and then asked: "Forget it, you'd better take a good rest. Are you sure you want to go back to Pussy Mountain?"
"Compared to the villa in Helensa City, I prefer to lie quietly on a wicker chair by the lava pool." Aphrodite rolled her eyes and said.
Suldak immediately comforted him very knowingly: "I understand, how about I arrange for Samira to come over and accompany you?"
"Don't you feel her hostility towards me when she looks at me recently?" Aphrodite curled her lips.
"Well... I'm always a little worried about leaving you alone there."
Surdak wanted to hug the succubus, but was pushed away by Aphrodite.
"I can summon you at any time, there is nothing to worry about." Aphrodite showed a trace of disgust in her eyes, and then said: "Okay, if you want to leave, leave quickly. I have to sleep for a while, and I will catch up."
Leave before noon..."
The two of them are not in harmony with each other, just like an old couple who have been married for many years.
