The biggest difference between the mountain city of Hilanza and the city of Ruit is that it is located halfway up the mountain. The entire city is hidden among dense oak forests, almost blending into the surrounding environment, like a magnificent piece of land embedded in the blue sea.
Topaz.
Ruit City, on the other hand, completely covers the cliff nearly two hundred meters high, and the city completely covers the cliff.
The top of the mountain in Helensa belongs to the territory of the Christie family, and few people can climb to the top of this mountain.
Surdak was standing on the top of Hillanza Mountain, with the extremely dense mountain city at his feet. If anyone could set up a few trebuchets on the top of this mountain, then the entire Hillanza City would be completely destroyed.
Covered within the range of the catapult.
The land on the top of the mountain belongs to the Christie family and is the cemetery of the Christie family.
Looking at it, obsidian tombstones occupy almost the entire top of the mountain. Because the top of the mountain is surrounded by dense golden and silver oak trees, few people know that there is a cave here.
Darcy's tombstone is located on the sunny south slope of the cemetery. Looking down from here, you can have a panoramic view of the city of Helensa.
Almost all the nobles in the city of Helensa came to attend the funeral. The open space in front of the tombstone was crowded with nobles wearing black dresses. Karl had been carefully staying with Lady Mariana. Lady Mariana was almost crying at this moment.
Fainted.
Compared with Lady Mariana's grief, other members of the Christie family were relatively silent.
Before her death, Darcy handed the Christie family's guarding knights into the hands of Suldak, which was probably the main reason for their collective silence.
Darcy Christie's funeral lasted all morning, and when the nobles placed the flowers in their hands around the tombstone, the funeral came to an end.
People left one after another, and flowers were placed around the tombstone. When the wind blew it so gently, the petals fell with the wind...
Surdak waited until the end. Looking at the cemetery that had become quiet, he sighed softly.
On the tombstone of Darcy Christie, there is also a sentence in Imperial language: 'The moon shines her light all over the sky, but leaves her dark spots to herself. - Suldak'
The people attending the funeral left the cemetery on the top of the mountain one after another, and even Lady Mariana was helped away by the maid...
On a raised rock on the top of the mountain, Suldak, Karl and Lance were sitting on it.
The three of them looked at the lush green mountains in the distance. Lance, whose eyes shone with wisdom, asked Surdak with curiosity:
"If you could live your life over again, would you choose to marry Darcy?"
Suldak shook his head, looked back at his feet, and said to Lance: "I don't know..."
He was silent for a while, and then said:
"If you missed it, you missed it. Maybe there were some regrets at the time, but for Darcy and I at the time, our stubborn personalities meant that we couldn't stay together."
After hearing what Suldak said, Lance stopped talking.
But Karl on the side suddenly asked Lance:
"I heard that Captain Gerald is going to recommend you to become the deputy leader of the law enforcement group?"
Lance was a little surprised and asked doubtfully:
"Well, you just informed me the day before yesterday. How did you know?"
Karl smiled proudly and said: "I am the chief of security of Helensa City..."
At this time, Suldak did not listen to the teasing between Lance and Karl. He focused his gaze on the place where the distant sky connected with the mountains, but his thoughts drifted away with his gaze.
Many times, the world seems unreal to him.
But looking at my friends around me, I realize that I have been moving forward. Along the way, I can finally stand on the top of the mountain and look into the distance.
There was a hint of perseverance in Surdak's eyes. Several plane wars had polished him like a sharp knight's sword. He habitually touched the hilt of the sword at his waist and said to his two friends:
"I'm going to the Warsaw plane. Maybe the next time we meet will be when I return from the Warsaw plane..."
Karl was stunned, and Lance also stayed on the spot.
Karl asked Suldak:
"Duck, I remember that you were in the Warsaw plane when you were serving in the military? Why would you be sent to that fire pit this time?"
With a wry smile on his face, Surdak said to Karl: "I am the lord of the Ganbu plane, what's so strange about this!"
"I heard that Lord MacDonnell was unwilling to lead the Lord's army to the Warsaw plane, so he took the risk and chose the Ganbu plane to become independent!" Karl said to the two of them.
"I heard that there is a big quagmire over there in Warsaw. I hope you can get out of it as soon as possible..." Lance put his hand on Suldak's shoulder.
Just now, I was extremely envious of Suldak's temporary appointment as the consul of Hailansa City. But in the blink of an eye, when I heard that he was about to go to the Warsaw plane to fight the evil ghost army there, I suddenly felt that this Hailan
The position of consul of Sachs City seems to be less favourable.
In the past few years, countless noble lords in the Bena Province have fallen into disgrace in the Warsaw plane...
Now Suldak is going to lead the army to the plane of Warsaw, which is not a reliable thing no matter how you think about it.
"Has it been decided yet?" Karl asked.
Surdak nodded and said: "Fifty thousand heavy armored infantry soldiers have already taken the magic airship to Bena. Next, I will reorganize the cavalry regiment..."
…
The streets in Helensa City are still so crowded. Almost every step of the way you can see a bridge crossing your head. The balconies of many buildings almost extend to the street. Some clothes drying poles are set up from the balconies here.
Go to the protruding terrace across the street, so when walking, you have to look up from time to time to avoid being hit by falling water droplets.
The Knight Academy on Doronval Street in Helensa City has started school.
Looking from outside the school, groups of teenagers in the academy are running on the playground. Every student is very immature. Suldak continues to walk along the road on the street. In order to make it easier for little Peter to go to school at the Knight Academy, Natasha
I chose to rent a house on this street.
And it's not far from the Magic Tower. As long as you walk along this street for a short distance, you can reach the Magic Tower.
Natasha temporarily rented a three-story villa with a small yard. The roof was covered with dark red tiles. There were two fruit trees in the yard. There was also a low shrub wall in the yard. The yard door was a short one.
Cutting the wooden fence, Suldak led the horse inside.
Originally, Surdak had planned not to stay here, but he changed his mind on the way back.
After all, I haven't seen Natasha for a long time, and it may take two or three years before I leave. Although I can sneak back for a quick look in the middle, there won't be many opportunities like that.
The rhythmic sound of beating clothes came from the yard. Suldak tied the reins to the tree at the door, and then walked over in pursuit of the sound.
I saw Natasha squatting next to the water table, washing some dirty clothes. I heard another footsteps behind me. She turned around and found that Suldak was already standing behind me. Natasha immediately stood up and yelled, shaking her head.
He shook off the soapy water on his hands and threw himself into Suldak's arms.
The luxurious life made her look plump, and when she was held in her arms, her happiness almost overflowed.
Although the family now has enough food and clothing and has hired a maid and a cook, Natasha has become accustomed to doing these things.
There was a faint smell of lavender on her body, and the two of them didn't even speak. Suldak held Natasha's delicate face and pecked her soft and warm lips hard.
Natasha's eyes seemed to be able to speak. When she saw Surdak, her eyes almost curved into double crescents.
"Did you miss me?" Surdak asked against Natasha's ear.
Although they are an old couple, Natasha still blushes when Suldak hugs her.
Natasha nodded, and then responded in a low voice:
"I knew you would come back!"
From Natasha's words, Suldak guessed that Natasha already knew about Darcy's death.
Natasha led him towards the house and asked with some anticipation: "How long can you stay here this time?"
"Leave tomorrow..." Surdak looked at Natasha and said to her.
"You're leaving so soon?" Natasha was slightly disappointed.
Suldak could only say: "The news I received from Darcy Christie was rather sudden this time. There are still many things at hand that have not been dealt with. In addition, this time the military department dropped another recruitment order. I estimate that I will go on an expedition in the near future.
The plane of Warsaw.”
When she heard that Surdak was going to the Warsaw plane, Natasha's face instantly turned extremely pale.
"Don't worry, I am the supreme commander of the Western Route Army, so safety is guaranteed!" Suldak whispered to comfort the woman beside him.
Natasha only worried for a moment, and then began to prepare food and bath water for Surdak.
Old Sheila was sitting on the rocking chair in the living room, seemingly sleeping. However, when Suldak came to her side, Old Sheila just opened her somewhat cloudy eyes. When she saw Surdak, she just gave him a slight smile.
He nodded and motioned for him to sit down next to him, but he didn't say a word.
Old Sheila has aged very quickly during this period. She has two more age spots on her face than last time, and the sagging skin and flesh are almost piled on her cheeks.
She raised her trembling hands and pointed at the nuts on the small table.
This was the first time that Old Sheila took the initiative to invite Surdak to eat, which made Surdak a little touched.
Suldak sat next to Old Sheila, and was not in a hurry to eat those nuts. Instead, he used the power of holy light to wash Old Sheila's body again, and said to her: "I have already arranged everything about Little Peter."
Well, if the magic awakening ceremony fails to make little Peter a magic apprentice, then send him to the Knight Academy."
Hearing Suldak talk about little Peter, old Sheila, who was already a little tired, immediately became much more energetic.
Little Peter is probably the only spiritual support in her heart now.
"This time I am going to conquer the Warsaw plane..." Suldak added casually.
Old Sheila, who was holding the water glass tremblingly, suddenly shook her hands, and the tea cup she was holding suddenly fell on the carpet. Although the tea cup was not broken, the tea inside was like a large piece of carpet wet.
Old Sheila's lips trembled, and she wanted to say something to dissuade her, but when she saw Suldak's determined gaze, the words that had just reached her lips suddenly shrank back.
"I will go to Moyun Ridge to see him, the second team, and the forest farm camp. Do you need me to bring him back?" Suldak asked old Sheila.
Old Sheila waved her hand, gasping slightly when breathing, and said: "Let him lie there, there is no need to toss."
"If possible this time, I will help them take revenge..."
Before Surdak finished speaking, he was interrupted by Old Sheila: "I don't need you to take revenge. Don't be blinded by hatred. Where are you leading the army this time?"
Suldak nodded.
"Then I have only one request. Promise me that you must bring them all back as much as possible and don't leave them there. This war has been too long. Compared with the victory of the war, everyone hopes that their loved ones can be safe.
Come back." Old Sheila held Suldak's hand and said to him seriously.
Suldak squatted in front of old Sheila's rocking chair, feeling that although old Sheila was old, she was not confused.
…
This villa has its own bathroom.
The bathtub is filled with water.
Surdak sat in the bathtub and took a bath.
Natasha moved a small mat and sat behind Surdak to rub his back. Surdak didn't speak, he just listened quietly to Natasha talking about the trivial things he encountered in life.
She met some of her neighbors here...
The neighbor's children always sneak into the yard and steal pears from the trees, but since the last time Natasha picked a large pot of pears and delivered them to the two children's homes, the child has never climbed over the yard wall to steal pears.
Pears.
The widowed old man across the street likes to bask in the sun in front of his home. Every time little Peter passes by, he will chat with the old man.
According to Little Peter, the old man was a famous swordsman when he was young. Although he is older now, he still has a very clear grasp of the skills of using a sword.
Little Peter's eyes always light up every time he talks about this, but Little Peter rarely talks about learning in the Magic Tower...
Occasionally there will be a flower seller on the street, and Natasha will occasionally buy a bunch and put it in a bottle. As long as the bottle is filled with water, the flowers can live in the bottle for more than half a month.
She talked a lot, and Surdak listened patiently.
As she spoke, Natasha stopped and hesitated for a while before asking Suldak: "I heard they said that Ruit City is a very big city, is it bigger than Helensa?"
"It's bigger, and there is a teleportation gate in the center of that city, and there is a larger city on the other side of the teleportation gate. Its name is Mukuso." Surdak replied. "These two cities
They are almost connected together by the portal."
As he said that, he turned to look at Natasha, smiled at her and said: "Do you want to visit Ruit City? In fact, there is nothing wrong with that, but I don't have much time recently, so I guess I have to wait until I get back from Warsaw.
Return from the plane..."
"How long do you want to go, four years?" Natasha asked nervously.
Suldak shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe it won't take that long, maybe like Duke Newman, he will be entangled by the evil ghost army and be unable to escape..."
Next is the debt repayment chapter on the Warsaw plane, which will probably have about 300,000 words and 80 chapters. Okay, let’s talk about a digression: many people don’t understand that there are obviously so many stories behind it, but it’s over without writing it.
Well, this involves the time track of this magical world. I also have a protagonist's story that is about to start. As I write it down, the power system will be unbalanced. The three protagonists will be very different by then. I'm afraid that during the demon war,
They can't be well integrated with each other. Speaking of which, I guess many people know that this book originally had three protagonists, but they were suddenly separated. Well, when I finish writing the Warsaw Plane, the third character will appear soon.
