Hiranza City is located in the Sitara Pagan area of Bena Province. It is a very beautiful mountain city.
The city of Hiranza is surrounded by mountains at the southern foot of Pagolos Mountain. It is rich in golden acorns and silver acorns. This kind of acorn does not actually contain gold or silver, but describes the acorns in the process of maturation.
After the color of the shell, these two acorns contain a lot of oil, which is a very precious fuel when dried.
Nobles like to throw a handful of acorns in the fireplace. These acorns have a unique aroma when they burn. Fish, hares, and pheasants smoked with acorns will have a unique flavor. Every autumn, Helensa City
A large number of merchants gathered here, and everyone purchased gold and silver acorns here. They would transport these acorns to various parts of the empire. As the acorn market opened in the imperial capital, more and more nobles began to try to buy acorns. Every year, acorns
The prices are constantly increasing...
Helensa, a little-known mountain town, began to gradually come into the eyes of the nobles of the Green Empire.
Surdak rode his horse and saw the beautiful mountain city built halfway up the mountain from a long distance.
The mountain city is surrounded by green mountains, with a clear stream winding at the foot of the mountain. A winding mountain road leads directly to the only gate of the mountain city.
The mountain in front is called Camel Mountain by the locals. From a distance, the mountain looks like a dromedary camel lying on the ground. There is a huge rock lying on a mound at the foot of the mountain, which looks like the head of a camel.
It's no different. The city of Halanza is built on the camel hump. Stacks of white houses are distributed in the mountain city in a ladder shape. From a distance, they look like they are arranged neatly one after another.
When we arrived at the mountain city, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Surdak rode a horse into this mountain city that did not look too big. The guard at the city gate did not even check Surdak's identity.
Wearing leather armor and a badge on his chest, he traveled smoothly.
The layout of this mountain city is very limited. All the buildings are crowded together. Most of the buildings in the city are built against the mountain. They look like building blocks stacked together. The streets are very narrow, and you can always find a strip above your head.
The narrow overpass and the only main street here also have a gentle slope. Going up the street feels like climbing a mountain. The guards standing at the top of the city are only spear infantry and archers. When they look at Suldak, they have a look in their eyes.
With envy and awe.
When pedestrians on the street saw Surdak, they all avoided him for fear of offending Surdak.
Suddenly I heard someone on the stone arch bridge overhead saying: "Mr. Knight, where are you from?"
Surdak raised his head and happened to see a young man dressed as a ranger looking at him with a smile.
"Handanar County." Surdak spoke with a local accent and said to the young man on the bridge.
The young man put one hand on the railing of the stone arch bridge, turned over and jumped down. His body was very light and he landed steadily in front of Suldak.
There was a badge hanging on the young man's chest, and he looked like he was a noble, so Surdak got off his horse obediently. Otherwise, although it was not a serious crime to offend the nobles, he did not want to do this to himself when he first arrived in Helensa City.
Trouble.
The young man has chestnut curly hair, a high nose bridge, and sunken eye sockets. He looks sunny when he smiles, but he is a little thin.
"What do you want to do when you come to Helensa? Is there anything I can do for you?" The young noble spoke very politely. He held his waist with one hand and put the other hand on the dagger at his waist, standing in Surda
In front of Ke, he was actually only one finger shorter than Suldak.
Surdak thought about his purpose of entering the city. In addition to asking about the location of some Wall villages, the most important thing was to register his reserve knight status. As for the place to register his knight status, of course it was the local knights.
So he asked casually:
"Where are the Knights of Halanza?"
The young noble looked at the badge on Surdak's chest. With an inexplicable smile in his eyes, he pointed to the road ahead and said:
"Go forward from here, after passing three streets, turn left, then go all the way to the end, turn right again, pass through a circular arch, go around the small garden over there, and you will be at the third corner in the alley behind the garden.
Home...forget it, I'll take you there."
At the end of the story, the young noble felt that he was almost dizzy, so he decided to lead the way himself.
Along the way, the young nobleman enthusiastically introduced to Suldak the layout of Helensa City, the businesses and shops on the streets, which ones you can safely trade with, and which ones you need to pay more attention to when doing transactions. He also said this
The city is not that big, and half a day is enough to explore this mountain town.
The young nobleman did not ask for any information about Surdak.
The layout of this mountain city is very compact. The two of them passed through a circular arch. Sure enough, there was a circular garden surrounded by red bricks in front of them. They walked around the circular corridor in the garden and found the small stone paved path.
lane.
At the door of a low building in the alley, there was a plaque of 'City Defense Department' hanging on it. The young noble pointed inside, then pointed to the stairs outside the low building, and said casually: "Second floor!"
…
Suldak tied the horse to the hitching post at the door. The young nobleman had no intention of going upstairs, so he climbed the oak stairs alone.
Arriving on the second floor, Surdak knocked on the door, then opened the door and walked in. He saw that it was a small room filled with various roll cabinets. An old man wearing half armor
The knight was sitting on a chair, resting his feet on the oak table, holding a pipe in his mouth, and was sleeping with his eyes squinted.
Surdak walked in and did not take the initiative to wake him up. He stood in front of him, took out his reserve knight certificate and placed it on the oak table.
After doing this, Suldak sat on the bench on the side of the room and waited patiently.
After a while, the old knight snorted suddenly, waking himself up from his dream. Then he opened his eyes and looked around, and found that he was sitting in a small room, and saw the whole person behind him.
After neatly stacking the cabinets, I finally woke up. I had just had a nightmare and was not fighting a bloody battle on the battlefield.
Then he saw Suldak waiting in the room, quickly put his feet down from the table, coughed, and then picked up the reserve knight certificate on the table, carefully checked it for a long time, and then raised it
At first, he looked at Surdak from top to bottom, stared at Surdak and asked:
"Your name is Suldak?"
Suldak nodded and honestly said 'yes'.
The old knight glanced at the name on the knight's certificate, stood up with some difficulty, limped to a locker, and kept saying:
"Let me see, you enlisted in the army in 2583...Oh, here...are you from Wall Village?"
"Yes." Surdak replied.
The old knight turned out a bundle of roster scrolls, found Surdak's name on it, and asked him the number of his army. Surdak answered fluently. The old knight took the reserve knight certificate with emotion on his face.
He said: "Not bad! Young man."
He checked the roster, and then said with great regret:
"I was born as a civilian and never attended a knight academy. When I retired, I actually became a reserve knight. Have you not considered continuing your military career? Have you already retired?"
Suldak nodded and said frankly: "Retired? I feel a little homesick..."
The old knight nodded slightly, then recorded the information on the reserve knight certificate and said to Suldak:
"Now you are not considered a formal knight. You still need to get a formal diploma from the Knight Academy. If you are ready, you can come to me at any time. I can help you write a letter of recommendation. Our Knight Academy in Helensa City is
Very good. Of course, you can also choose individual colleges, but I can't guarantee whether my letter of recommendation will be useful. As long as you successfully graduate from the Knights College, you can come to me with your diploma from the Knights College.
In exchange for an official knight certificate."
"With the official knight certificate, you can receive a fief belonging to you at the ruling hall of Halanza City."
After the old knight finished speaking, without waiting for Surdak to ask, he waved his hand, indicating that Surdak could leave.
