335. Guard Battalion

  Gwendolyn held a sheepskin account book and led Karl and Suldak through the corridor on the first floor of the basement.

The corridor was dimly lit, with only a moonstone wick wall lamp about five meters apart. The basement was surrounded by mottled stone walls. The ground was fairly flat. The underground corridor was not damp. There was a layer of black velvet growing in the gaps in the stone walls.

Moss, you can smell a faint fishy smell when you are close to the stone wall.

Ms. Gwendolyn wore corn-colored lambskin boots, which made a crisp sound when she stepped on the stone floor. The three of them walked through a long corridor of more than 20 meters and came to the door of a stone room. The basement was well ventilated.

It's great, the vents on the ceiling above your head actually allow cool breeze to blow in, making people not feel stuffy at all.

The door was coated with a thick layer of paint, which was very heavy. After Ms. Gwendolyn opened the copper lock, Suldak and Karl quickly stepped forward to help push the door. They thought that the nearly three-meter-high wooden door would be very heavy.

But the two of them pushed aside the heavy wooden door mounted on the slide rails without much effort. The room was dark. Ms. Gwendolyn lit an oil lamp on the wall at the door and held the oil lamp in her hand.

Karl and Suldak walked into the warehouse.

Every time she walked to a wooden frame, Ms. Gwendolyn lit the oil lamp in front of the wooden frame, and soon the warehouse became bright.

There are more than a dozen neat rows of oak shelves in the warehouse. On the front shelf are some weapons wrapped in oil paper. Judging from the outer outline, they should be weapons such as long swords, but Ms. Gwendolyn did not continue.

I stopped here and just introduced: "These knight long swords are ordinary standard weapons, and some of them are more sophisticated."

Walking inside, I found that many shelves had some notes on them, but the shelves were empty. When I reached the eighth column of shelves, Ms. Wingedolin hung the oil lamp in her hand next to her and lit it again.

Looking at the two oil lamps on both sides of the shelf, Suldak only then saw clearly that the shelf was filled with long and narrow wooden boxes. The ends of these wooden boxes were covered with kraft paper labels, and they were stacked on top of each other to fill the entire shelf.

 Ms. Gwendolyn asked Surdak: "Knight Surdak, what is the most convenient weapon you usually use?"

"Roman sword, oh... but recently I have been using a knight's long sword." Suldak said honestly. The Roman sword is the standard weapon of the infantry regiment. Generally speaking, no knight will use this short sword.

sword.

Ms. Gwendolyn's expression froze for a moment, and then she said tactfully to Suldak: "...We have better sabers, epees, knight's swords, vertebrae swords and craftsman's swords here. These weapons are all

It is a standard weapon produced by the sword-making workshop in Bena City. It is made with excellent craftsmanship and is much better than the groceries found in weapon shops outside."

Ms. Gwendolyn randomly pulled out a wooden box from the shelf. It looked like she was struggling. She wiped off the floating dust on the surface of the wooden box and opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing a saber wrapped in a layer of oil paper inside. This saber was slightly

The curvature of the blade was only two fingers wide, and the streamlined blood groove could be clearly seen under the oil paper. Seeing that Suldak had no intention of opening the oil paper, Ms. Gwendolyn found another one from this row of shelves.

wooden box.

This time Gwendolyn asked Surdak to help pull out the wooden box placed high on the shelf. Surdak only felt that the wooden box was heavy to handle. He placed the wooden box on the table and placed it on the table.

Ms. Gwendolyn looked at her and opened the lid of the box. Lying inside the wooden box was a very heavy long sword. Surdak reached out and peeled off the oil paper wrapped around the blade. On top of the black blade

It is covered with layers of stripes. Only through folding and forging can the weapon have such exquisite stripes.

"This is a craftsman's sword, which belongs to the category of heavy swords. This is a forging process passed down from the dwarf kingdom. The only drawback is that it is mixed with some black iron. The only drawback of this sword is that it is too heavy. It is lighter than it.

There is a heavy sword..."

Before Ms. Gwendolyn could finish speaking, Suldak held the hilt and picked up the craftsman's sword. He turned over a sword flower in his hand, and then smiled at Ms. Gwendolyn.

, asked: "I choose this craftsman's sword...is it okay?"

 “…Of course!” Ms. Gwendolyn did not expect Suldak to make a decision so quickly.

She thought that Surdak would look at the epee and the Vertebral Sword again, so she asked tentatively: "Knight Surdak, aren't you going to take a look at the Vertebral Sword? That sword actually has more characteristics.

"

Suldak cast his eyes on the Honest Craftsman's Sword and replied: "No need, this one is just fine."

"Okay," Gwendolyn wrote down the Suldak Guard Camp badge on a piece of brown paper and put it into the wooden box. Then she put the empty wooden box in another area of ​​the shelf and said

Suldak said: "You can regularly bring the craftsman's sword back to the guard camp for repair. If the craftsman's sword is damaged or lost, as long as the reason is reasonable and a written report is made, a new one can be issued to you.

Understand?"

Suldak nodded to express understanding. Then Ms. Gwendolyn smiled at Suldak with satisfaction and said, "Next, I will take you to choose a dagger."

There was no choice when it came to daggers. Ms. Gwendolyn took Suldak to the back shelf and took out a short dagger with a red blade. This dagger had an exaggerated forehead protector, which was more noticeable when held backwards.

It is comfortable and comes with a well-made leather scabbard that can be tied around the waist or legs.

"By the way, Suldak, what kind of shield do you like?" Ms. Gwendolyn then asked Suldak: "I guess it will not be the most common knight's light shield."

The three of them left the warehouse and came to the opposite warehouse. They saw that the warehouse was filled with shields, small bucklers, large bucklers, light shields, iris shields, tower shields and various spiked shields.

Alien shields, Surdak stood in front of a row of light blue iris shields. It seemed that the iris shields he had worn out before should also be well-made standard armor.

Suldak smiled and said: "I have been using a iris shield before, but that shield was damaged in a previous battle. Now I have replaced it with a tower shield."

Ms. Gwendolyn understood Surdak's preferences. He didn't care much about whether the shield was too bulky. Everything was practical. She patted her forehead and said with a smile: "It really is.

You're a powerful guy, but are you sure your horse can handle it if you use a tower shield? Besides, you'll need to get a set of armor later. I think between metal armor and leather armor, you wouldn't want to choose leather armor, right?

!”

 “Of course.” Suldak replied.

Gwendolyn pointed to the various shields on the walls and on the shelves, and said to Suldak: "So... knight, please make your choice."

Suldak said without thinking: "I hope to have a dwarf chain shield."

 He had not been able to buy it in the Halanza weapons store before, so he had the choice here, so he picked up this shield that was strong enough and flexible enough.

The dwarf chain shield is completely a thickened version of the iris shield. Dwarves have extraordinary arm strength, so this dwarf chain shield is thicker. Limited by their height, this shield is not too big. The dwarves place the shield between the shield and their arm.

Connect them together with chains, and if necessary, you can throw the shield to attack the enemy.

 Gwendolyn said with some emotion: "Well, your preferences are exactly the same as those of the northerners."

As she said that, she took Surdak to the shelf where three thick dwarf chain shields were hung, and continued: "It is said that these three dwarf chain shields have been hanging here since the weapons arsenal was established. You can take them away now."

Just one side."

After Suldak took off a dwarf chain shield, Ms. Gwendolyn pasted a piece of brown paper with Surdak's number on the wall where the shield was hung.

He pointed to another shelf and said: "That's where the armor is stored. Knight Surdak, all the metal armors you like are placed there."

The full-covered black iron armor is the standard armor in the Hellanza guard camp. Surdak only needs to report the size, and Gwendolyn finds the corresponding wooden box from the shelf. The boxes are all brand new.

Black iron armor, according to Karl, not all knights in the guard camp can wear this bulky full-coverage armor. Swordsmen and rangers cannot wear it. They usually choose lighter and more flexible leather armor.

 Watching Suldak looking around in the armor warehouse, Ms. Gwendolyn asked him curiously: "What are you looking for?"

Suldak also said very matter-of-factly: "I'm very curious whether there is that kind of... oh, it's that kind of magic pattern structure here."

Karl put his arm around Suldak's shoulders and joked to him with a smile: "The magic pattern armor will not be stored here. Everything related to magic is priceless. Wait until you become Sauron of the guard camp one day.

A person like the captain will naturally own a set of magic pattern armor."

The three of them left the armor warehouse talking and laughing all the way. Later, Ms. Gwendolyn took Suldak to receive a lunch box, a kettle, an ordinary uniform and a pair of leather shoes. Perhaps it was because Carl had a good relationship with Ms. Gwendolyn.

Because of this, all the military items Surdak received were brand new. According to the system in the guard camp warehouse, weapons and armors can be used repeatedly. However, Surdak only received Karl's relationship.

to brand new ones.

When leaving the logistics department, Carl asked Ms. Gwendolyn to play cards with her when she had time. Gwendolyn smiled and said, "Let's talk another day."

 The two of them then returned to the lobby on the first floor of the guard camp. Karl smiled and said to Suldak: "Okay, I will take you around the guard camp."

Karl took Suldak to the other side of the building, pointed to the side door that was opened separately, and said to Suldak: "This is a dormitory. I can help you apply for a room if you need it."

Suldak thought about the pretty good living environment at the Knight Academy and shook his head decisively. After all, he was mainly attending classes at the Knight Academy in the past six months.

Then Karl pointed to a stone castle next to the stable, which was almost half hidden underground, and said to Suldak: "That's the temporary prison of the guard camp. Usually the prisoners captured temporarily are detained here, and that's the

It’s usually best not to go there where the people from the Torture Department belong, as they have weird tempers and are not easy to deal with.”

"We are considered an out-of-city support squadron. We spend most of our time out of the city. We don't usually have to sit in the guard camp. There is no dedicated office area for us here. Usually when we return to the guard camp to report on our duties, we will wait for a break.

This side of the room."

With that said, Karl led Suldak to the third floor of the building. It was a large room. It looked more like a chess and card room with many tables and chairs, but at this time the lounge seemed

It was quiet, with no one around. Apparently, the death of young Vic had made the entire guard camp busy.

Karl found a chair and sat down casually and said: "This is the lounge. In our free time, everyone gathers here to play cards. But now everyone is on a mission. This is usually the busiest place. At the other end of this corridor is

In the training room, only some energetic young people will spend all day in it."

Walking around the guard camp, it turned out that the people staying in the guard camp were all internal staff. When the two of them walked out of the gate of the guard camp.

Next door to the guard camp is the city hall, which belongs to the administrative center of Helensa City. Opposite the city hall is a very wide square. There is a 20-meter-high double-edged sword statue on the square. The Bena Province is the swordsman.

hometown, so in every city in the Bena province, there are many statues showing swordsmen.

The two walked through the broad streets and arrived at the Municipal Square. Suldak asked Karl: "When are we going to implement our plan?"

Karl said with some embarrassment: "Let's prepare first. At least we need to get to know the members of the rescue team. I also need to apply for support from Captain Sauron. You also saw the assassins of the Black Magic Hermitage that night.

, it’s simply not something we can deal with, and the city is now in a mess. The application has been submitted, but there is no approval yet.”

“It is estimated that there will be no reply for the time being. Those guys above just want to wipe their butts clean before the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team finds any clues.” Karl looked a little helpless and a little angry.

 Karl's carriage was parked not far from the street, and the attendant stood where Karl could see it at any time, making sure not to hear the conversation between the two.

“How about I go out of the city for a while and test it out? Maybe there will be some unexpected gains.” Surdak said to Karl. Surdak thought that he had already received all the equipment and there was no reason to work as a foreigner.

 Karl hesitated for a moment and did not agree immediately. He just said to Suldak: "Okay, I will arrange a party in the evening for everyone to get to know each other first and discuss tomorrow's actions."

Suldak nodded in agreement: "Okay, it depends on your arrangement!"

Karl waved to his entourage in the distance, and the entourage immediately drove the magic caravan over. Karl and Suldak boarded the carriage together, and then Karl said:

“I will take you back to the Knight Academy first. I will gather the team members in the afternoon, and then I will pick you up at the entrance of the academy in the evening...”
