Now that Suldak has arrived in Bena City, he must visit Beatrice's father, Count Goffele.
Beatrice was naturally very happy when she heard about this. They took the magic caravan and left the Marquis Luther's Mansion at noon and walked westward along the aristocratic neighborhood. Although the Gopher family's manor was also relatively luxurious.
It's a noble manor, but it's still some distance away from the Marquis Luther's Mansion.
In the carriage of the magic caravan, Beatrice leaned in Suldak's arms, smiling and talking to Surdak about the changes in her brother Harvey in the past two years.
The leather-making workshop opened by Harvey Gophele in Bena City is currently mainly processing the hard skin of red ants with red stripes, and the business is very good.
The Gopher family has come out of the trough and can at least maintain the dignity of an established noble. It is said that Harvey recently planned to buy back the family's land. Unfortunately, those lands have been resold for decades, and there is no shortage of other parties.
Money, no idea of selling at all.
The magic caravan drove into the old manor lined with trees. Surdak discovered that not only the gate of the manor had been repainted, but also the main road from the gate to the mansion had been repaved with stone slabs. The vestibules on both sides of the road
The garden has been carefully manicured, allowing Suldak to feel the garden art with a sense of the times.
The manor house has also been renovated. Although it is not a major repair, at least some of the broken bricks have been repaired, the brick joints have been evenly outlined with cement, and the red tiles on the roof have been replaced with new ones.
The magic caravan stopped at the entrance of the mansion, and the butler opened the door from the outside. A group of young nobles and servants were waiting on the steps.
Suldak and Beatrice walked out of the carriage and hugged Harvey respectively. Then Harvey introduced to Suldak the young nobles around him, almost all of whom were from the Gopher family.
Some of the members are Harvey's cousins and minor nobles, while others are just knights.
When they saw Surdak, they all showed curious eyes.
Surdak remembered that when he married Beatrice, he didn't know that there were so many relatives in the Gopher family.
Harvey has obviously gained weight, his belly bulging out of his dress.
"Welcome back……"
Harvey smiled and said to Suldak, and then began to introduce the relatives behind him to Surdak.
Surdak was dizzy after hearing this, but no one cared about it.
After walking up the steps, he saw Count Goffele standing in front of the door of the residence. Suldak quickly took two steps, pulled Beatrice to the front of Count Goffele, and bowed to him.
military salute.
Behind him, a group of young nobles were chatting in low voices, but everyone's eyes fell on Suldak.
"Come in and sit down." Although there was no smile on Count Gophele's face, his voice was very gentle.
Beatrice was not favored by Count Gopher, who once wanted to marry Beatrice to a wealthy businessman or a noble family with better economic conditions in order to solve the debt crisis of the Gopher family.
, it is a pity that Beatrice cared about Suldak at that time and was not willing to sacrifice herself for the family.
In fact, this kind of thing is very common among nobles. Beatrice's rebellion once made Count Goffele very angry.
Even now, the relationship between father and daughter is still tense.
This time when Beatrice came home, Count Gophele still didn't give Beatrice a good look. Beatrice just pretended not to see him and walked into the hall on the first floor of the house holding Suldak's arm.
, Surdak was by her side, which made Beatrice feel much more at ease.
The furniture in the living room was still the same. Count Gopher asked Suldak to sit next to him. Immediately, a row of maids came up carrying various fruit juice snacks.
Other young nobles also gathered around. Some young nobles even secretly touched the little hands of the maids when they passed by, or quietly grabbed a handful of their buttocks. They were very frivolous at such a young age.
Count Gophele looked at Suldak seriously for a while before he said:
"I heard that you led an army to fight in the Warsaw plane?"
Surdak quickly said: "That's right! This time, I took advantage of the war in the Warsaw plane to enter a stable stalemate, and then obtained permission from the military to return to Bena City for family leave."
The members of the Gopher family looked at each other. Many people had never even heard of this word. It was really rare for a battlefield commander to have a holiday.
At present, there is only one person who dares to do this--that is Duke Newman.
Harvey sat opposite Suldak and asked curiously:
"Brother-in-law, I heard that you killed many evil spirits in Moyun Ridge?"
Surdak and Beatrice sat side by side on a two-seater leather sofa.
In order to look more dignified, Beatrice kept her waist straight even when she was sitting on the sofa...
Surdak leaned on the sofa cushions and replied casually: "I did kill some evil spirits. Does your leather processing factory want to do some black devil leather business? I currently have some resources in this area."
"The black-patterned magic leather involves magic patterns. There are no magicians in my leather workshop, so I can't do this kind of delicate work."
Harvey refused without thinking.
Surdak was a little surprised, and said: "You can get it to a leather store to sell it, but the current market base of black magic leather is too large, and the price of this thing may be further reduced."
"The business of wearing armor is very good at the moment."
Harvey smiled, with a lot of flesh on his face, and his eyes almost narrowed into a line, and then he said to Suldak: "If you still have unidentified black magic crystals in your hand, you can sell some to me.
?"
"The black magic crystal has not been identified?"
"If you want to inherit your father's title, if you don't participate in the plane war, you must pay at least fifty unidentified magic crystals to the empire to keep the title of earl."
Harvey confessed directly.
"I know that your business in Bena City has been doing pretty well recently, and you should have saved some money in your pocket." After saying this, Suldak glanced at Beatrice, and then said again
: "This time... Beatrice specifically told me about the inheritance of your title, so when I came here this time... I just brought some black magic crystals to you."
After saying that, under the watchful eyes of a group of young nobles of the Gopher family, Surdak took out a small magic-sealing box from his magic pocket.
Surdak reached out and opened the lid of the box. Inside were rows of neatly arranged black magic crystals. These black magic crystals were almost larger than walnuts.
Although there are no black magic crystals with the mark of the Military Logistics Department on them, it means that these black magic crystals have not been officially confirmed. This kind of magic crystal will only be exchanged for merit when it is obtained from the Military Logistics Department.
The other young members of the Gopher family looked at Harvey with envy, probably because they were envious that he had a good brother-in-law who could retain his title with just one sentence.
Of course, their distant cousins don't get this kind of treatment.
It was probably the first time for many people to see the Black Magic Crystal, and they all gathered around.
Harvey quickly held the not-too-large magic-sealing box in his arms. With just a black magic crystal like this, the magic crystals in the box could almost buy a set of magic patterns.
Harvey glanced at Beatrice with gratitude. His relationship with Beatrice was very bad, and he didn't expect that Beatrice would actually help him...
With such a large amount of money, Harvey Gefeiler thought about it and said to Suldak in a very graceful manner: "Brother-in-law, I will buy these unidentified black magic crystals."
After saying this, Harvey realized that Suldak had actually pulled out five large boxes from the magic waist bag.
They were placed in front of the sofa, occupying a large space. Surdak opened the lids of these large wooden boxes. The first box contained a pile of salamander leather armors. The lines on the leather were jumping back and forth like flames, and they looked exquisite.
Unparalleled, this kind of fine salamander leather appears one after another even in the auction house, and now Surdak actually packed a whole box.
The wooden box on the side contains a whole box of green horns on the head of the evil general. Each green horn is almost two feet long, with a slight curvature. The taper is not large, but it is extremely sharp. This kind of green horn
It is an excellent material for making curved swords.
The third box is filled with colorful stones. These are the rough stones of various gemstones. They have not been polished initially. Even if they are very transparent, they do not show any value.
The fourth box contains the bone armor of an evil spirit. It is difficult to assemble a complete set of bone armor from such evil spirits.
The set brought over by Suldak is not only complete, but also in very good condition, making it very suitable for hanging in the corridor.
There was actually a lot of hay stuffed into the fifth box. When Suldak opened up the hay inside, a group of young nobles who were watching were surprised to find that there were brackets containing potion bottles. There were only three rows of these brackets.
It was precisely these three rows of shelves that were almost filled with magic potion bottles as thick as a finger.
Arranged in the top row is a whole row of secondary healing potions. Although this thing cannot heal injuries quickly, it can save lives. There are a total of twenty in the whole row.
However, the potion bottles in the second row are not filled with healing potions, but secondary mental power potions. There are also twenty bottles.
As for the magic potion on the third row of shelves, it is the light yellow Power of the Lion Magic Potion.
Recently, it is rare to hear in aristocratic circles that someone would actually give a secondary healing potion as a gift.
How much these gifts are worth... No one present knows, but everyone knows that the fifth box contains magic potions that even money cannot buy.
Even Count Gophele, who was sitting on the main seat, was a little surprised and didn't understand why Suldak suddenly moved out so many boxes...
"You were willing to marry your daughter to me, but I couldn't give you any decent gifts at that time. Now that I'm back from the Warsaw plane to visit my relatives, of course I have to bring back some local specialties. I hope you like them," Suldak said.
The posture is very low.
Marquis Gophele nodded slightly. He knew that Surdak was not what he used to be, but he never thought that Surdak would actually send such a gift.
"I heard that the battle in the Warsaw plane has entered its final stage?" Count Gophele asked.
"Yes, when I return to the Warsaw plane this time, I will launch a general attack on the evil ghost army on the Moyun Ridge Highlands," Suldak said very firmly.
"We all know that the Western Route Army won several victories in the Warsaw plane. Officers Benner who came back from Warsaw often mentioned you. I know that saying this may cause you some trouble, but no matter what, I still hope you
We can select some young people with some potential to go to the Warsaw plane."
After Count Gopher finished speaking, he looked around appropriately.
Suldak nodded and promised: "Yes, if they pass my test, I will take them to the Warsaw plane."
The young nobles surrounding them all let out a series of cheers...
"Dak, what does the evil ghost look like?" Harvey asked curiously. He had just looked through the entire set of evil ghost bone armor.
Surdak chuckled:
"You really want to know? Then come with me to the battlefield and see."
Harvey's expression changed, his brows almost knitted together, and he said quickly:
"...Forget it, I live happily in Bena City. I would rather endure the sour smell of hard armor than go to the battlefield in Warsaw."
Surdak leaned on the sofa and said with a smile: "Did you know that many nobles have asked me to take them to the battlefield in the Warsaw plane?"
Harvey was not moved at all, and quickly defended: "But those nobles do not include me, and I am still very self-aware."
Suldak smiled and nodded, reached out and patted Harvey on the shoulder, and said to him: "You seem to have grown up. At least you know how to avoid danger."
Seeing that Suldak did not continue to ask him to go to the Warsaw plane, Harvey said smugly:
"Yes, I will be a father in a few months. It is not appropriate to go out during this period..."
Suldak patted Harvey on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations then."
Suldak only had afternoon tea at the Gopher Manor and did not stay for dinner. He left the Gopher Manor with Beatrice who showed some complaints.
"Why did you prepare so many gifts? And that box of black magic crystals. Harvey obviously wants to pay for it, so why doesn't he agree?"
"How much are those gifts worth?"
Beatrice kept chattering about these things all the way.
Suldak could only put his arms around Beatrice's shoulders and whisper into her ear: "You are not short of money, why are you worrying about the value of the gift?"
"God sent you and Hathaway to me, which is the greatest gift to me. For this, I am willing to give some feedback to your relatives."
Beatrice's eyes were a little moist, but she was still a little angry.
All along, the thing she hated and resented the most was that Count Gophele was planning to sell her at a high price like a commodity...
Now Suldak obviously hopes to ease the relationship between her and her family. She should be grateful, but she just feels like there is something blocked in her heart.
She leaned her head on Suldak's arms and said stingily: "There is no need to please them anymore..."
The magic caravan was driving slowly on the street, and Beatrice's heart seemed to be wrapped in warm sea water. The dazzling sunlight outside the car came in through the glass window, making her a little dizzy...
